Desperate Night

The second floor of the stone castle.

In the spacious small hall with a steeple, bright lights illuminated everyone present.

Lao Zhou's bulletproof suit was in tatters, and his back was scratched by something unknown, revealing a large piece of white porcelain inside.

He didn't care, holding the nutritional ointment in one hand and the water glass in the other, taking big gulps of food.

Everyone else in the camp is here.

Li Runshan sat in a corner holding Aisena, Dr. Xu held his belly and sat by the wall, and Yu Hong stood by the window with his arms folded, watching Lao Zhou, waiting for his answer.

After eating for more than ten minutes, Lao Zhou finally seemed to feel more comfortable and regained his energy.

He put down the water and nutritional ointment and looked up at everyone.

"I've checked the pyroxene mine. The one I went to is gone. It's all turned black. I suspect something happened."

"It's the Mesha family." Yu Hong interrupted him, "I learned from other strongholds in the communicator that a small family named Mesha is quietly destroying the pyroxene mine using unknown methods. Now everyone has Through Qi, if you encounter anyone from Mesha, kill them without mercy."

Mesa

Everyone's hearts sank. They remembered this name, but it actually meant little. Without faces to check, it was impossible to find these people with just a name.

"Aren't they human beings!? No matter how disgusting they are, they won't deliberately destroy the pyroxene mine! No one can survive without the pyroxene!" Old Zhou said, feeling a little better.

He originally thought it was a natural disaster, but now Yu Hong told him that it was actually man-made! ?

"Who knows what they are thinking? Who is there in this world? Boss, the communicator can contact other strongholds. What is the situation in other places? Can you tell me?" Li Runshan asked.

This issue is also of concern to others.

Suddenly several pairs of eyes were focused on Yu Hong. Yu Hong did not hide anything and truthfully told the current situation of the two strongholds Wei Song and Kai Kaijun.

When they heard that the new recruits had to undertake various dangerous tasks for food and medicine, they all felt lucky. Fortunately, they joined the Black Wind Camp.

"Okay, I've said all that needs to be said. Lao Zhou, come back to you and tell me, apart from the small household appliances and supplies in the car, what else did you find?" Yu Hong returned his gaze to Zhou Xueguang again.

"Hey." Upon hearing that Zhou Xueguang had returned to him, a slightly proud look appeared on his face.

He looked around everyone, stood up, unbuckled the waistband of his suit trousers, then reached into his crotch and pulled out a well-folded piece of white paper.

"This is my biggest gain from this trip!" He raised the piece of paper and said loudly.

Yu Hong stepped forward, took the paper, glanced at the confident Lao Zhou, and opened the folded paper with some doubts.

Wow.

The paper was unfolded, and on it was a photocopied color map of Baihe City.

The point is not this, but the black lines drawn bit by bit on the map with a black pen.

"Is this??" Yu Hong frowned.

"This is the safe route for black disasters!" Lao Zhou shouted loudly, "I went out this time and discovered that there is a buffer zone between high-risk black disasters that will never cross each other. In other words, two high-risk black disasters Between the disasters, they have actively separated a small buffer line, and as long as I am within this boundary, I will not be attacked by the black disasters on both sides.”

He paused, looked at the rest of the people who looked shocked, and continued.

"More importantly, because there are high-risk black disasters on both sides, ordinary black disasters dare not approach at all, so there is not even a ghost in this buffer zone, not even a blood tide bug! It is absolutely safe!"

quiet.!

No one spoke, everyone was immersed in the shock caused by these words.

After a few seconds.

"Old Zhou, are you sure it's absolutely safe!?" Li Runshan couldn't help but speak first.

"No!" Zhou Xueguang said calmly, "I can only guarantee that I have personally experienced it and the high-risk black disaster has not attacked me. That's all. This is a gambling road. If you also want to go out, you can use it as a reference. We The car itself is very concealed, the noise caused by walking on the buffer zone is smaller, and the safety is much higher than before. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Yu Hong also thought silently. Lao Zhou's answer was more direct than the information given by Zhang Kaijun. He even worked out a specific road map.

The external environment is harsh and changing rapidly. Although I am not sure how long this route will be valid, at least if I find this pattern, I can follow the trend.

"Lao Zhou, did you use the detector to find the buffer zone?" Yu Hong asked.

"As expected of the boss, the enhanced detector you modified is very easy to use. I used it to detect the red value of the environment. Based on the changes in the red value, I slowly found the stable route of the buffer zone."

"This means that we may be able to have contact with other strongholds!" Li Runshan was slightly excited.

Not only him, but the rest of the people in the camp were also a little excited. They hadn't seen anyone else for a long time.

It's always gray outside, dangerous and deep.

"In addition to these, I also met a group of survivors who were going to the airport. Their leader was Tang Shanzhong. I traded some supplies with them, and then talked about how we understood each other." Zhou Xueguang's tone became calmer.

He glanced at Yu Hong unconsciously and continued.

"Captain Tang is a very good person. He has been working hard to rescue other people along the way. He used to be the administrator of the granary. Along with his good luck, he had no shortage of food and drink, and he also had the assistance of several aggrandizement masters." Xu Fan, the butcher who has been here, is among their team."

Yu Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't expect Xu Fan to be so lucky and not dead yet.

But he didn't say anything and motioned for Lao Zhou to continue.

Zhou Xueguang nodded: "They plan to take the air route to New Aurora City No. 2, which is said to be the safest. You will never guess where this new Aurora City is."

He smiled and continued.

"From the Tang team, I met several old people who had escaped from Baihe City. They were surprised to know that I came from a camp near Baiqiu Village, and they said something about Baiqiu Village. , rumors about the Lin family."

"Lin family?" Yu Hong was stunned and immediately thought of Lin Yiyi, the little stutterer.

"That's what the boss was thinking. The two old men said that there used to be a lot of people living in Baiqiu Village. Then the Black Disaster broke out and the environment became worse and worse, so everyone slowly moved away. And the Lin family is a member of the village. The only people who were good at making white stones were called white stones at that time.”

After Zhou Xueguang said this, he paused and continued.

"They told some rumors about the Lin family. It is said that in the early days of the Black Disaster, Dong He secretly recruited all folk experts with high attainments in mysticism, gathered in the capital, and then concentrated on going to the original outbreak point. At that time, all the men of the Lin family All Ding have gone, leaving only two orphans and widowed mothers.”

"In other words, before the black disaster broke out, some people started to come into contact with white stone, which is pyroxene?" Yu Hong asked suddenly.

"It is said to be so. The two old men told me that none of the experts who were summoned came back. After the black disaster broke out, many people died on the official side. Later, the black disaster spread all over the world. Countries After joining forces to form a coalition, no one will know where they are, and everyone will know the rest.”

"Then did they say where the black disaster first broke out?" Yu Hong asked.

"I know this. There is a place called Black Tree Village in Donghe. The starting points of black disaster outbreaks all over the world have one thing in common, that is, at the beginning, black wells always appeared first."

Li Runshan said solemnly, "In the beginning, it was all because of the discovery of an ancient well of unknown depth. Then as time went by, the number of black wells suddenly increased, and the initial blood flow, that is, blood ticks, emerged from them."

"Heijing." Yu Hong silently remembered the name. "In other words, all the men of the Lin family have gone to Black Tree Village?"

"It's very possible. After all, no one knows what will happen during the journey, but the country's initial purpose of mobilizing experts should be to go to Heishu Village." Old Zhou nodded.

Yu Hong made a judgment in his mind. At such an early time, the two members of the Lin family had probably died in the black disaster. Why did Yiyi still insist on looking for someone?

So what if I find it? Everything is irreversible.

The specific reason is probably only known to Lin Yiyi herself.

While he was thinking silently, Lao Li and Lao Zhou had already begun a heated discussion on the feasibility of a safe route.

A fixed, known safe route, what this represents, both of them know clearly.

After a while of excitement, everyone went back to rest.

In the next few days, everyone still returned to the original state, dividing their work, but their mood was much more relaxed and lively than before.

Ding Shao took over the control of the car and began to prepare for going out.

Yu Hong did not plan to let her set off immediately, but planned to make modifications to the car after the black seal was strengthened. The sunlight was too short, and solar energy alone could not maintain the power of the car.

Of course, the time limit he gave Ding Shao was within two months, because according to the broadcast content, after three months, the sky would plunge into darkness forever.

Without solar energy at that time, the car would become a burden.

In the blink of an eye, it was a few days later.

Camp stone castle roof.

A new waterproof spire was added to the roof, forming an additional triangular cabin.

At this time, above the spire, Yu Hong sat quietly on a roof, looking at the misty mountains and forests in the distance.

Rays of golden sunlight were like sharp thorns, piercing the gray fog and illuminating the entire forest.

hold head high.

There were several small dots hovering in the distant sky, making strange noises like toads.

Further away in the forest, there was a giant black insect that was knocking open the trees and rushing towards the distance.

To the left of the giant insect, on the hill not far away, Baiqiu Village is bathed in sunlight, reflecting a faint white light.

Figures could be seen appearing and disappearing in the village.

The clouds in the sky are thin, and the pure and blue sky is like a gem. The gray fog is a layer of gauze covering the surface of the gem.

Ouch! !

In the far distance, a subtle roar floated from afar. Through the fog, a huge bird-shaped black shadow, larger than the entire village of Baiqiu Village, broke through the fog, approached the mountain forest, and swept from the low altitude at the edge of the mountain forest. Passed and flew into the distance.

‘.This world’ Yu Hong looked at the giant shadow going away, feeling an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

‘Is there really hope? ’

Sitting on the roof, he did not move for a long time. At this time, under the investigation of the black lizard, the Black Wind camp was completely surrounded by the insect people's sphere of influence.

Although the camp was not found, the insect man's territory was getting closer and closer.

There is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
