Campfire Shelter

As it continued to spread, it was difficult for Colin's consciousness to take shape, and the time he spent thinking about a thought became longer and longer. Before long, he fell into a deep sleep.

Compared with the previous comas and nightmares caused by various terrifying negative effects, this time he fell asleep in a real sense.

I can't feel anything, it's like death.

I don’t know how much time passed, but a calm sea surface suddenly arched upwards. Then, a figure wrapped in water was spit out, drew an arc in mid-air, and finally landed on a building near the sea with a bang. In the old city.

After rolling several times, the figure fell to a stop in a ruins, motionless.

Then, there was no more movement.

After an unknown amount of time passed, a group of ragged people suddenly arrived, fourteen of them in total.

"The anomaly index detected by the detector in this area is relatively stable. There should be no danger." Among the fourteen people, a middle-aged man with medium build and capable movements looked at a detector in his hand.

According to the feedback above, it can be determined that this area should currently belong to a safe zone.

"Boss, what a great place! This seems to be an empty area that has just gone out, and no one has explored it yet!" A post-disaster survivor looked around and noticed that there were no traces of anyone's actions, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It does seem that no one has been here. From now on, start searching for supplies nearby, giving priority to medicines, then some functional items, then iron cans of food, then various fertilizers, or anything that can be fertilized." Waste The middle-aged man from the exploration team warned.

For ordinary people like them, the most valuable thing right now is undoubtedly various medical resources.

Then there are all kinds of items from the past that are difficult to recreate.

As for food, it usually comes last.

Because no matter whether it is the top-level shelters or the lowest-end shelters where disaster victims gather, there is no special shortage of food. New crops are everywhere. As long as the environment is suitable and there is some fertilizer, they can be produced at any time in a short time. , produce enough primary agricultural products.

So, even though the world is falling apart, at least having a full stomach is not a problem

Of course, if they see food, they will not refuse it. After all, food from the old days can be exchanged for a lot of money.

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man paused and added: "By the way, if you search the ruins of the shopping mall carefully, you may have a chance to find old gold and silver."

"Okay!" Everyone looked excited when they heard about gold and silver.

Even today, these things are still very valuable. Many forces, shelters, etc. are willing to offer a lot of valuable things in exchange for these real money.

As for the reason, I heard that some specific precious metals seem to be able to carry extraordinary powers and so on.

"If you can find dozens of kilograms of gold, remember to change our medical equipment." A tall woman with an ordinary face said happily.

"Well, if there are really any, they will definitely be replaced." The middle-aged man nodded, "However, the priority is to update the weapons, and then replace the crop seedlings. The things we grow are relatively monotonous."

After a brief exchange, people began to explore in groups of three.

It has to be said that the old ruins exposed by the receding tide are indeed very fertile. After a while, they harvested a lot. They could almost fill five pickup trucks, and even found a lot of real money.

The middle-aged man looked at the situation and prepared for everyone to evacuate.

Although there are still many places they have not yet explored, they still know how to bite off more than they can chew.

Don't bring too many things, otherwise you won't be able to run away if you get into trouble.

However, just as he was preparing to evacuate, the only woman and only doctor in the accompanying team suddenly reported a new situation.

"Found a child?" The middle-aged man was stunned, and then walked over.

Not long after, he saw a child sitting there quietly in a kind of ruins.

The child seemed to be in his early ten years. He was wearing adult clothes, which were baggy and a little dirty. However, his skin was fair and his eyes were innocent, but he looked a little dull.

Even when he saw the long guns and short cannons in their hands, he didn't panic at all. He just blinked his big round eyes and looked at everyone.

Although it is strange for a child to suddenly appear in this kind of environment, in a sense it is not strange.

"What a cute kid." The accompanying female doctor couldn't help squatting aside, taking out a piece of packaged candy in her hand and preparing to "suck it," but she felt something was wrong and said curiously: "Kid, you know you are Who?"

"Colin." The child nodded and responded quickly.

"Is there anyone else here?

"I have no idea."

"Then, why are you in a place like this?"

"have no idea"

Colin, who was wearing baggy clothes, sat on the ground and shook his head. He couldn't remember many things. He always felt that he had experienced a lot of things, but he just couldn't remember them for a while.

And while the two sides were talking, a member of the exploration team saw the middle-aged man captain arriving, so he walked over and whispered:

"It looks like he should be a 'returner from the deep sea'."

"Yeah, it looks like it to me."

The middle-aged man nodded and relaxed his vigilance a little.

"Returners from the Deep Sea" is nothing strange.

The reason for its appearance can be traced back to almost two years ago. At that time, during the natural and man-made disasters, the endless ocean suddenly erupted and submerged the world. I thought it would be a horrific disaster that would destroy the world, but I didn't expect it. , the deep sea era that submerged almost all the land in the world did not last long, and slowly returned to its original position.

Human beings walked out of various bunkers again, and found that the disasters and horrors that were once everywhere were cleaned by the ocean like the air after rain.

Although abnormal creatures still exist, at least they are no longer as numerous as before.

Not long after, everyone discovered that many people who had been submerged would occasionally be "spit out" from the sea to land one day.

It is also called the "Return from the Deep Sea Phenomenon". It has been determined that it is not a crisis. The people spit out by the ocean are the victims who were submerged in the sea. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem.

The moment when the sea recedes is relatively common.

In fact, there are several people in the team this time who are "returnees from the deep sea."

As for why this happens, and why the ocean vomits people out from time to time, no one knows. They only know that it may involve some unknown terrifying existence, or a big secret that people don't know.

Of course, in the words of those who believe in the "ocean", it is because the sacred and great will of the ocean cannot bear the destruction of the world, so it uses its own power to swallow up countless anomalies, save all the victims, and They will be sent back to land when the time is right

It seems that no one knows whether this is actually the case.

"Captain, can we take him with us?" the accompanying female doctor said, somewhat pleadingly.

Let such a weak, helpless and pitiful child stay here alone. You can imagine his fate. It is absolutely impossible for him to survive in this post-disaster world.

However, just after she finished speaking, other people in the team shook their heads: "To be honest, I don't recommend doing this, it may be dangerous."

Although "Returners from the Deep Sea" are generally fine, there are risks.

This risk does not depend on "return from the deep sea", but on what kind of person this person was.

If it is a heretic or some contaminated person, it is still very dangerous.

"What danger can a child who is not as high as your waist pose?" Someone else who was also a "returner from the deep sea" said.

"We will have to pass through a dangerous zone when we go back. We may not be able to take care of it ourselves, let alone a child?"

"Oh! You really are! I shouldn't have given you anesthesia and sutured your wound just now! It hurts you to death!"

The female doctor cursed, then looked at the lean middle-aged man on the side: "Captain!"

The middle-aged man had some hesitation. Some in the team agreed, and some disagreed. The number of people was about the same, so he had to make the decision.

Nowadays, it is no problem to bring one person back to the disaster victims' gathering place. After all, it is just an extra mouth to eat, and it will not cause them to be short of food.

However, those who disagree are right. This child doesn't know anything about his past.

There may be risks in bringing it back rashly

However, before he could make a decision, a beeping alarm sounded suddenly from his waist.

And at the same time, an inexplicable roar came from the distance

There seems to be some powerful being that is attracted by the movement here!

Everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and the middle-aged man finally made a decision here. He gritted his teeth and said: "Give up some supplies and take him with you!"

With the decision made, people did not continue to argue. The strong female doctor immediately stepped forward, picked up the little boy who called himself Colin, and ran in the other direction.

Not long after, a group of people found several electric modified pickup trucks parked on the side of the road, and then prepared to go directly.

However, just as I walked to the car, a huge change happened!

The air pressure seemed to solidify in an instant, making it difficult for everyone to move. Something was landing high in the sky above their heads!

Everyone looked up in horror and saw a flat and huge monster falling from the sky!

It enveloped almost everyone!

"It's over." Just when everyone thought so.

No one noticed that Colin, who was held by the female doctor, narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered:

"die."

In an instant, a vibration frequency band that no one else could even feel surged up from bottom to top, followed by the huge flat monster that almost covered everyone and exploded instantly.

Turned into crackling rain of blood, falling around

"What's going on?!" Everyone who had narrowly escaped death was stunned.

"Is it the captain?" Someone saw the middle-aged man holding up a strange black rifle that exuded black gas and pointed it towards the sky.

"I" the middle-aged man was about to say that he didn't have time to shoot, and even if he fired, it would have no effect, but he noticed the footsteps in the distance and couldn't care about it at the moment. He quickly asked everyone to get on the pickup truck first. Let’s talk about running.

Along the way, the middle-aged man was filled with doubts. He clearly remembered that although he took out the weapon, he had no time to use it before the abnormally polluted life exploded.

Although it looks a bit like a rifle, the difference is still huge!

However, they didn't bother to think deeply. Not long after running, they heard the movement behind them becoming clearer.

"Bang bang bang——"

The heavy footsteps were neither urgent nor slow, but they followed easily and got closer!

Someone turned around and could vaguely see a humanoid creature covered in blood and made of a large number of squirming muscles following him.

"The ten-meter level 'Flesh Devourer'!"

The middle-aged man was shocked, and besides the giant "Flesh Devourer", there were also many smaller but faster "Flesh Devourers" rushing towards them.

This thing, I heard, is a monster turned into by the biomass contaminated by the "red light" that originally covered the sky and the earth.

It is also one of the most common abnormal life forms in the world.

And it’s the most dangerous type!

Because they generally have a strong desire to attack any living creature, they will try to fuse with all the living creatures around them. Once they encounter them, if they do not distance themselves or repel them and kill them, then this thing can even chase them for thousands of kilometers without stopping. !

"Fight it! You must repel it, otherwise you won't be able to escape!" the middle-aged man yelled.

Several people in the tricycle team immediately took out some homemade weapons and fired them.

Although the noise of the battle may attract other monsters, right now, they don't care about it.

With a few "whoosh" sounds, various types of bombs were launched.

However, the weapons they have on hand are okay against some tiny individuals, but they are a little weak against the ten-meter-level "flesh devourer".

And looking at the "Flesh Devourer" getting closer and closer, some people couldn't help but look at the captain again: "Captain, give that thing to me, I will do it."

"No, let me do it." The middle-aged man took off a small backpack hanging on his body.

He took out a rifle that exuded a dark aura.

This thing, an extraordinary person from a certain shelter, can shoot a bone bullet without bullets every time it shoots. It is very powerful, but part of the user's bones seems to be evenly removed.

That's fine. The key is that the more you use your body, the more "brittle" your bones become.

The previous user died because of the multiple blows that caused all the bones in his body to break.

However, he didn't have time to think about it or die immediately, and pointed the gun directly at the monster.

The ten-meter-level monster seemed to feel the threat and suddenly jumped towards them, directly shortening the distance between the two sides in a short period of time.

If you jump again, you will probably step directly into their crowd!

After confirming his aim, he picked up the rifle and was about to pull the trigger, but suddenly he saw that the huge creature had just approached within a range of about thirty meters, and suddenly exploded again!

Wait, there is another chapter
