Campfire Shelter

"This is all I know. There are about two shelters that still exist in this province. One is the 'Future of Humanity Institute' and the other is the 'Light of Dawn Foundation'. It's just that the specific location is not clear. They have I protect my position very strictly."

Wang Hu shook his head, but as he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something: "There may be someone in our settlement who knows where the shelter is, and he seems to have escaped from the shelter.

"If you can help us bring back the supplies, I can promise you to hand him over."

Now, relying on their own strength, it might not be realistic to bring the supplies back, and without the supplies, the settlement would not be able to last long.

Moreover, the geographical location of the material storage is also in the hands of these people, and they cannot obtain it by force.

After he finished speaking, the faces of some people behind him changed, because this might reveal their position.

However, there were also a few people who looked thoughtful and realized that since the two sides were not enemies and the other party did not have much ill will towards them, it would be better to talk reason with them - after all, it is better to be able to talk reason than to talk about physics.

Wang Hu took the looks of his companions into his eyes, and secretly wrote down which ones were suitable for training.

"kindness?"

On the other side, Ke Lin and the others were also taken aback. They hadn't given guidance on this "sensitive topic" for fear of arousing the other party's vigilance.

But what I didn't expect was that these guys actually brought it up by themselves.

"Can."

Qin Chuan and others looked at each other, then took out a few papers wrapped in rags and handed them over: "This is the message they left, and their bodies can be seen just inside the hall."

"Can you tell me about the state of the corpses when you saw them?" Wang Hu took the suicide note and glanced at the address above, and immediately understood the destination.

"Hang yourself, mummy" Qin Chuan added some details.

After an employee of the "Bonfire Company" died, they also knew that as long as they died at dusk, the water in the human body would quickly evaporate and turn into a mummified corpse.

They didn't move the hanged corpses, but the corpses of their own people had been simply buried on the spot.

Listening to Qin Chuan's explanation, Wang Hu and others nodded—the way of hanging himself was indeed their arrangement this time.

If these guys who are suspected to be members of the refuge are the ones who killed them, then it is probably impossible for them to know the password of "hanging himself".

"Then, let's take a rest first, and learn about the situation here by the way."

Qin Chuan glanced at the crowd, and was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Ke Lin on the side.

"Did you hear anything?"

Colin tilted his head, his expression was a bit confused, he felt something was wrong, and he was not very sure, but an indescribable sense of hunger rose in his heart.

This made him realize that things seemed not simple.

"What what?"

Qin Chuan froze for a moment, and was about to continue speaking, but suddenly heard three muffled sounds coming from his ears.

"Dong dong dong~"

Not only him, but everyone present heard such a sound. They were all stunned for a moment. They didn't realize what the sound was and where it came from. It just felt like some kind of dull drum beat. There was a loud sound, and the air seemed to vibrate.

But in the next second, when everyone was paying attention, they heard a dull voice again.

"Dong~dongdong~dongdong~"

The sound seemed to signal the recovery of something, and Colin and the others suddenly realized—isn’t this just the sound of a heartbeat?

Moreover, they could clearly feel that the sound came from underground!

Wang Hu's expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something: "No! It's that thing underground in Shelter 24! Run! Otherwise it will wake up later and we will all die!"

There is a reason why the Son of Twilight doesn't come in this ghost place

Colin grunted in his heart, and was about to run away, but felt a strong sense of hunger rising from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as his face changed, he heard a certain sound——

"Eat, eat, underground. The one that was not fully born"

"Eat, eat, eat! Great tonic."

"I haven't eaten in a long time"

Scripture-like whispers lingered in his ears, and a very fragrant smell of meat came to Colin's nose, and he seemed to be able to clearly "see" through his eyes that the aroma came from underground.

But at this time, behind Colin, the saint, who was floating behind the scenes and following the buff but not doing anything else, seemed to notice something and looked at Colin.

In her eyes, everything here is very hazy, she can't see clearly, she can't hear, but she can feel that something familiar and terrifying is reviving.

Without the reminder of the parchment, she took the initiative to strengthen the BUFF effect on Colin.

"Eat shit! Eating anything will only harm you!"

Colin backtracked rationally, suppressed his inner voice, and followed the pace of everyone fleeing.

He only stayed for less than three seconds, so no one suspected him. As they left, the heartbeat that gradually became clearer and could even be said to be deafening slowly disappeared.

"What exactly is that?" Ke Lin looked at Wang Hu who was being carried, and asked.

"I don't know. I heard that when I took refuge on the 24th, I was attacked by the Sons of Twilight for unknown reasons. When I was forced to despair, I made some kind of attempt. The final result was that the Sons of Twilight left. There It’s like a forbidden area.”

Wang Hu explained the situation. As far as he knew, the vast majority of anomalies would not take the initiative to approach there, but what is interesting is that there will be no accidents to living people there.

In a sense, it can be regarded as a safe spot.

Of course, the premise is not to stay too long, and you must evacuate immediately if you hear the sound of your heartbeat.

Otherwise, you might be left there forever.

After roughly understanding that as long as he and others left in time, they would not be entangled by anything, Colin breathed a sigh of relief and did not continue to pay attention.

After that, everyone had no plans to rest and headed directly towards Tianlong Bay.

And during the journey, they learned more information about the world from survivors such as Wang Hu.

For example, the "Son of Dusk" disappears for about three days at a time, then returns here again, lights up the place for a few days, and then leaves again.

This thing is a product of the "Future of Humanity Research Institute". When it comes to why there is only the upper body, the reason given by Wang Hu and others is that it is God's punishment for mankind.

A survivor carrying Wang Hu on his back gritted his teeth and said: "Those damn guys tried to create creatures that could rival gods, and they eventually attracted a verdict, and their blasphemous creations had their lower bodies cut off by the Lord of God, leaving them only To be able to walk on both hands and never be tired as a punishment.”

Why does it feel so religious? Colin estimated that the lower body of that thing might have been cut off, but the inside story might be different from what the other party said.

In addition to the "Sons of Dusk", they also learned about the catastrophe.

Probably around the beginning of more than ten years ago, day turned to night in an instant, the sun stopped rising, people lost their minds and went crazy one after another, and a large number of strange regular phenomena emerged, and the world entered the end of the world in an instant.

Later, they gradually learned some "truths" and learned that all disasters came from those research institutes or shelters.

"However, we believe that as long as we persist and believe in Him, sooner or later, He will descend from the sky and send His apostles to save everyone from darkness and disaster, and from the sea of ​​suffering."

"Him?" Colin asked subconsciously, but after asking, he suddenly regretted it.

At this time, seeing Colin making an inquiry, the young man carrying Wang Hu showed a hint of fanaticism on his face. Not only him, but also the other survivors showed enthusiasm and reverence, which made Colin and others feel a little uneasy.

But he himself did not pay attention and continued: "If you don't mind, please allow me to introduce our Lord to you and spread His image. This is the only chance for you and us to be saved. All other attempts are useless. , you will understand this sooner or later.

"And Him, I have seen it in my dream. He symbolizes the white sky, emitting divine and pure light. He is extremely kind and has twelve pairs of beautiful wings. Although He is supremely great, He is still willing to appease the hearts of us mortals.

"He told us not to panic, but to pray to Him. One day, He will judge all disasters and bring salvation to us innocent people.

"He told me that his name is White Night."
