Desperate Night

Gray City.

On the empty passageway of the city wall, scattered soldiers in full-body protective suits were like teams of black ants, patrolling slowly and tiredly.

From time to time, piles of light red foam could be seen on the ground.

These foams could be seen everywhere, as if they were randomly sprayed out and discarded on the roadside.

Some of the foam piles were large, some were small, and some were directly in the shape of a human.

It was like a bunch of light red proliferations, growing on the surface of the entire Gray City.

Zhang Kaijun wore protective clothing and watched the scene through goggles.

"How is the effect of the isolation foam?" he asked.

"Very good, it can isolate all sources of infection as quickly as possible and prevent the further expansion of most infectious black disasters." A burly and tall personal guard behind him answered.

"Give the research department a great credit." Zhang Kaijun said lightly. "How long can the water last?"

"About five days, according to the instructions of the engineering department, all water is used for nuclear power plant cooling circulation to avoid overheating and burning of nuclear reaction facilities." Another person answered.

"Can't we delay collecting ice and snow outside?"

"Unfortunately, the amount is too small."

"That is to say." Zhang Kaijun walked to the edge of the city wall and looked at the gray city under the bright lights. "If we can't find a solution within five days, we will face the loss of energy and water, and have to move to find water?"

Too many people have died in the city.

There are a few people sitting sparsely in the central square below. They are all sitting under the lights, sitting next to the heat dissipation cooling water pipes, wrapped in thick quilts, and their bodies are stiff and motionless. I don't know whether they are dead or alive.

A few half-grown teenagers, leading younger children, seem to be looking for relatives everywhere.

"I'm afraid so." The subordinate responded. "There are only more than 2,300 people alive in the city. This is because a lot of people from outside have been brought in recently. But if there is no water, no one can survive."

"There is still a lot of reserve water in Aurora City. Those who want to leave can leave." Zhang Kaijun said calmly.

"What about the supplies?"

"Keep half, and distribute a standard external unit to each person for the rest."

"Yes."

The subordinate left.

Zhang Kaijun stood in place, standing by the city wall, turned around and looked outside the city.

Outside, the black fog rolled, there were no stars or moon, no distant view, and the thick black fog was like a big wall, blocking the entire gray city.

The cold wind whistled, and suddenly a snowflake slowly fell and landed on his shoulder.

"How can I survive?"

He murmured in a low voice, stretched out his hand, and gently caught a piece of white snow.

"Ajun, come out and play, it's snowing!"

A familiar female voice suddenly came from the black fog outside the city.

"We are all waiting for you outside. What's the point of hiding in the city and deceiving yourself?"

"The city is just an illusion. You will know when you come out. All black disasters are lies. There is no black disaster at all. You just have hallucinations."

Familiar voices kept coming from outside the city. This is the voice that only Zhang Kaijun can hear.

The voices heard by everyone on the ghost in the black fog are unique and will not overlap.

Such voices will not and cannot be heard by others.

Zhang Kaijun's face was calm. His right hand reached into his pocket and grasped a hard gun handle.

He turned around and walked back.

It happened that a team of patrol officers saluted him and then passed by.

Bang.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out behind him.

Zhang Kaijun tensed up and turned around to look.

A female member of the patrol team that had just passed by was shot in the face.

The bulletproof helmet had been opened long ago, and there was a mess of blood inside, and nothing could be seen.

She fell to the ground, her body twitching constantly. The team members around her hurriedly dragged her aside, and everyone's hands were shaking.

It was suicide.

Zhang Kaijun walked over, squatted down, looked at the young face with a huge bullet hole on his forehead, and said nothing.

A team member next to him took out a small red bottle and sprayed it at the still twitching corpse.

The pink foam was sprayed out quickly, covering the entire corpse, along with all her equipment.

Soon it became a human-shaped pile of pink foam. This is to prevent the black disaster that may happen to her.

Black Wind Camp.

Snow covered every corner of the camp.

Inside the cave.

The edge of the black communicator was reflected with a faint worn luster.

The brown base color underneath was slowly revealed after the black paint was worn off.

A pale and rough man's hand reached over to cover this place and stabilize the communicator.

The other hand pinched the FM knob and slowly adjusted to find the channel.

Yu Hong sat at the table with a frown.

Ten minutes passed.

No matter how he adjusted and searched, there was no voice in the communicator.

Hiss.

The subtle sound of electricity continued to ring. Although there was a sound, it gave people a more lonely feeling.

"Minister Xin Zhilei can't be contacted, how come even Wei Song and Lao Zhang can't be contacted?!" Yu Hong's joy of breaking through perfection and obtaining the characteristics of the practice method has disappeared at this time.

He originally planned to contact Aurora City and Gray City, hoping to obtain some blood samples about mutants and enhancements.

But.

Snap.

He turned off the communicator and stood up.

‘Something must have gone wrong.’

He knew in his heart that Zhang Kaijun's character was extremely cold and stable. If it hadn't happened unexpectedly, he would never have given up his daily communication.

After all, the exchange of information and intelligence may save many lives in many cases.

Standing up, he walked to the basement, sat down cross-legged in the center of the practice room.

There was a picture of the basic water condensation technique he had written on the ground.

"It only has the same effect of condensing water sources, so it's called water condensation skill."

Picking up the torn piece of paper, he glanced over it and checked it. After making sure it was OK, he took a deep breath.

‘Strengthen the water condensation skill, direction: increase the water output power and increase the durability. ’

As for these two requirements, he didn't care about the others.

The main purpose of this technique is actually to solve the problem of water sources and long-range attack methods.

Therefore, increasing the water output power can simulate methods such as high-pressure water cannons, and increasing the durability can be used as a water source to supplement drinking water when needed.

Soon, a black line flashed, flowing out from the back of the hand and merging into the paper.

‘Do you want to strengthen the water condensation skill? ’

"It's done!"

Yu Hong felt relieved, knowing that he had finally completed the creation of a basic exercise book on his own.

Although the threshold for this technique is relatively high, you must first be able to sense many particles in the surrounding vacuum and screen out the hydrophilic energy particles you need.

But this technique is meant for one person only.

The difficulty of popularizing similar exercises is not something he can figure out now.

After confirming that it could be strengthened, Yu Hong did not start immediately. Instead, he reached out and picked up a blue-ray book from the ground. This book was obtained from the Xinghe Taoist of Zhengyuan Sect.

After thinking for a moment, he put down the booklet and picked up another one he had prepared.

That is the mysterious Taoist scripture: Chunyuan Dingling Jing.

After also hesitating, he still did not join the reinforcement.

'What I need now is to master the water condensation technique as soon as possible so that I can use it, rather than strengthening a powerful and advanced technique with special functions. I can't become famous in a short time by practicing such a technique. It can be added later when it is strengthened. ’

Suppressing the temptation in his heart, Yu Hong put down both books.

‘It will be revised in the future. There will be opportunities for enhanced synthesis in the future,’ he comforted himself in his heart.

He reached out his hand again, pressed it on the paper, and started strengthening again.

This time the black line flashed, a countdown appeared, and the strengthening officially began.

‘12:08. ’

Not long.

Yu Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

"The simpler the exercises, the better, and the faster the practice, the better."

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

The sound of the black giant passing by came from afar.

Yu Hong was used to it. He got up and walked out of the basement. He went to the micro nuclear generator to check it out.

The indoor temperature of the nuclear power plant is very high. It is about minus 30 degrees outside, but it is above plus 30 degrees here, and it is still rising slowly.

Yu Hong was sure that there was no problem with the reactor. Although he didn't know how to check it, as long as the temperature did not exceed the limit of the dial and there was no radiation leakage, everything was fine.

With nothing to do, he connected the received radar to the power source and tried to use it.

The radar has its own color display. In order to prevent the signal from being blocked, Yu Hong moved it to the second floor of the stone castle.

After some tinkering.

Buzz!

The screen lights up.

It was completely black, with a silver pointer spinning clockwise.

Yu Hong took a look and saw that the lid of the radar was opened, revealing a row of operating switches.

From left to right, the first black switch is power.

The second switch is temperature.

The third one is accuracy.

The fourth one is the blood tide monster.

The fifth one is Shadow!

"This is an improved version. Yes, who would produce an old version of radar at this time?"

Yu Hong looked at the black radar screen the size of a human head and flicked the temperature with his hand.

despair.

The switch is on.

Suddenly, the radar screen quickly turned blue. In the light blue, three small dark blue dots were moving rapidly from left to right.

Yu Hong's heart moved, and combined with the black lizard's vision outside, he judged that the nearest dark blue dot was the black giant that had just passed through the camp.

Then he turned off the temperature and turned on the blood tide switch.

Snap.

Uh-huh!

Dozens of red dots suddenly appeared on the black screen. They were evenly distributed, but none of them were close to the camp.

The entire camp area is like a bare circle.

Nodding with satisfaction, Yu Hong turned this off and turned on the last shadow switch again.

laugh!

In an instant, the entire screen turned bright red.

Numerous densely packed bright reds surrounded a small patch of black in the camp.

Like a small black island in a sea of ​​red.

"So many!?" Yu Hong was shocked.

But soon he felt something was wrong.

"No, if there are so many, how did the transport team get in? From here, there are no cracks around!"

"It shouldn't be like this! This radar should detect ghost shadows based on the red value concentration. The reason why the area around the camp is so red may be because of the wooden bridge behind it and the black ship. After all, there are millions of red value combination product.”

After careful inspection, Yu Hong found no specific dots representing individual evil shadows on the radar.

He got up and quickly went to the back to check the wooden bridge, and found that there was no change. The wooden bridge did not erode the formation, but seemed to be embedded in the camp.

Returning to the stone castle, an idea came to his mind.

"Can we strengthen this wooden bridge and the black ship and make it part of the camp?"

He has already experienced the role of the black ship, which can take him to various mysterious places. It is also very strong and not easy to be damaged.
