Desperate Night.

Chapter 116 Interval 116

In the blink of an eye, two weeks and fourteen days had passed.

At the Baihe City Port, cargo ships slowly sailed away and moved towards the distant sea.

The cargo ship was loaded with supplies, as well as migrants who were migrating away with them.

The population of the entire Baihe City is rapidly declining and leaving.

Everyone tried to go to New Aurora City, which was much safer and had more abundant supplies than here.

In order to cover the migration of the urban population, the elite enhanced human teams of the Joint Army began to be dispatched to assist ordinary military teams in dealing with the approaching dangers.

In the suburbs, outside the wall of an abandoned industrial park.

A fully armed team, carrying various guns, knives and explosion-proof shields, was standing quietly at the entrance, checking all the equipment on their bodies.

"This mission was assigned by the higher-ups. All reinforcement teams will be involved and there's no way to shirk it." Team leader Xue Ningning said helplessly.

All teams must be assigned mission areas. Even if she has connections, there is no way to avoid it at this time. This is an order directly issued by the supreme commander.

"Captain Ning has been very nice. We really can't avoid it this time. I heard that more than a dozen ordinary teams have gone missing, and the infection of the language people has spread, and it is difficult for everyone to defend against it." A middle-aged male member of the team sighed.

"We are just trying to buy some time for the main force to retreat." Another person sneered, "We are just a more advanced abandoned pawn."

"You don't have to do it." someone said.

"I don't want to do this anymore. Everyone in the team is a bunch of crap. Captain Ning, I've told you not to be soft-hearted and lead people, but you just didn't listen. Now the task is coming. With our limited manpower, there are only a few people in the team who can be useful. What should we do?"

A young man with a crew cut and the strongest build said in annoyance.

"Tang Xing, the five of you come in with me. The rest of you, stay outside." Xue Ningning said helplessly.

This time we might be attacked by the Yu people, so there must be no burden in the team. If we are not careful, it may lead to the destruction of the whole team.

The five people she named all looked quite dissatisfied, but they could do nothing about it because they were also aware of Yu Ren's troubles.

Among the few people who stayed outside were Ou Li, Lin Yiyi and Chen Qiaosheng.

The three of them looked at Xue Ningning and his men as they entered the park with different expressions.

"Captain, is there any danger?" Lin Yiyi looked worried.

"You still need to ask such nonsense?" Ou Li said coldly, "Can you please stop asking such stupid questions in the future?"

"Captain Ning has been taking care of us for so long, can't he do something?" Chen Qiaosheng sighed.

"Are you not satisfied with being given the opportunity to be lazy?" Ou Li raised his eyebrows.

This was the truth, but Chen Qiaosheng and Lin Yiyi's expressions did not show any relief or happiness at all.

"Where are the Silent Troops? Why can't we see any of them?" Ou Li asked. "Although we are enhanced humans, we are just ordinary people with poor quality. Shouldn't they be useful in dealing with the Whisperers?"

"." No one around responded. In fact, many people thought so in their hearts.

A group of people waited quietly, waiting for any movement to be heard in the park.

The fog around them gradually grew thicker, and even at a distance of four or five meters, one could not clearly see the other person's face.

More than half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Xue Ningning and the others still didn't come out.

Among the few team members who stayed behind, there was a girl with a ponytail who took out a communicator, opened it gently, and typed in the password.

This is the contact information they agreed upon for the ironic person.

Dadada, as the knocking sounds were heard, there was no sound from the other end of the communicator.

The faces of several people changed slightly, and they felt something was not good.

boom.

At this moment, a sharp gunshot was heard in the park.

Before they could react, they saw a ball of red fire explode from a factory in the park.

"That's the location Captain Ning is going to!" Chen Qiaosheng couldn't help but lower his voice, his face tense.

hiss.

The communicator finally had sound.

"Don't talk. Come, some people to help us." Xue Ningning's voice came out, with a hint of weakness, fatigue and pain.

Clearly she was in trouble.

After hearing Xue Ningning's voice, the expressions of the six people who stayed behind changed slightly.

It hasn't been long since we entered and even the powerful Ning team got injured and needed help. You can imagine how dangerous the park is.

Everyone hesitated at this time, and they were afraid that if they went in, they would encounter great danger.

Didn't everyone join Team Three just to get an easy job? Wasn't it just to make themselves safer and avoid danger?
but now.
The ponytail girl holding the communicator was silent. She gritted her teeth, gently put the communicator on the ground, and took two steps back.

No one came forward to pick it up.

Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, gunshots were heard again from the communicator, followed by Xue Ningning's groan of pain, and then the sound was cut off. The communication on the other end seemed to be broken.

"." The female team member with ponytail looked at the others. She was thinking of a reason to leave here quickly.

"Ou Li, I helped you wash your clothes for two months. We are friends, right?" The stuttering little Lin Yiyi suddenly spoke and asked the companion beside her.

"I guess so. What's the matter?" Ou Li lowered her voice and replied impatiently. She was also looking for an opportunity to withdraw.

"If you're a friend, follow me!"

Snapped.

Suddenly, Lin Yiyi grabbed Ou Li's arm with one hand, without waiting for the other party to come back to his senses.

She exerted force on her feet and rushed forward, picked up the communicator, and rushed into the iron gate of the park with her friend who was caught off guard.

"Communicator, I don't know how to rely on you."

"Ahhhhh!!"

Lin Yiyi's instructions and Ou Li's screams sounded at the same time, and the two of them were submerged in the fog in the blink of an eye, disappearing in the huge park and completely out of sight.

Wow.

Yu Hong poured a large basin of stones against the wall of the yard. He shook the dust in the bucket and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve. Turning back, the large piece of pyroxene in the yard had now been turned into powder. When the black seal was strengthened, it would be strengthened into large pyroxene powder.

dong dong.

Just as he was about to go back and continue, there was a light knocking sound outside the wall.

Yu Hong turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

A car key was thrown into the air, accurately flew over the wall and landed in front of him.

Picking up the key, Yu Hong showed a look of relief on his face.

"Are you back? Lao Li."

Sure enough, there was a familiar figure standing outside the wall.

The other party was wearing black and green camouflage uniforms and carrying a variety of equipment on his back, including guns, shields, knives, and even two cloth bags used for food store packaging with the words "Xu Ji Lobster" printed on them.

Li Runshan was still the same. He pulled open his goggles and looked at Yu Hong with a smile on his face.

"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission and got the strains, as well as the accompanying breeding instructions!"

But soon the smile on his face quickly faded, replaced by solemnity and coldness.

"But there is bad news. I learned from the survivors I met along the way that all the nearby prefecture-level cities are evacuating. From now on, the entire Donghe will focus on building a new Aurora City, and everyone will migrate there."

"Migrate? New Aurora City?" Yu Hong's first thought was the stuttering Lin Yiyi. "What about the other prefecture-level cities, Hope City? Just give up like that?"

"The daylight hours have shortened by two hours. Now it is almost dark most of the time. Moreover, it is foggy during the day. The sunlight is insufficient and solar energy can no longer be used." Li Runshan replied. "Add to that the collapse of the front line and the high-risk black disaster that has poured in. I am afraid that the prefecture-level city of Hope City will also be abandoned."

".After that, the supply team." Yu Hong was silent for a moment and asked.

"No more. Even the prefecture-level city of Hope City has been abandoned, let alone us. But the number of migrants is limited, and it is impossible for everyone to be relocated. At least one third of the people will be left to fend for themselves. We can contact this group of people in the future." Li Runshan replied.

After explaining all this, he turned and headed back towards the post office.

"From now on, we can only rely on ourselves." He waved his hand, without looking back, and gradually disappeared into the mist.

Yu Hong held the key and watched him leave.

Turning around, he entered the safe house, went to the basement, and looked at the countdown on the wall: 9:11 on the 24th.

'Soon. Soon.'

He exhaled, his heart full of anticipation, and was about to go to the first floor to warm himself by the fire, raise the room temperature, and have a good rest.

Suddenly, a strange feeling flashed through his mind.

His mind flashed back to Li Runshan's demeanor, expression, and eyes when he spoke just now. He always felt that something was wrong with the whole scene.

Standing up straight, Yu Hong slowly returned to the first floor, found a stool and sat down, repeatedly recalling the scene just now.

At the same time, he also took out the enhanced red value detector to measure the values ​​of the surrounding environment and his own body.

'0.124.' In the safe house with a pyroxene chamber structure, the red value is close to zero, which is very safe.

"Is this an illusion?"

He frowned slightly.

In the gray fog.

Li Runshan brought the mushroom bag into the yard and opened the door of the stone house with the key.

Although the broken door had been smashed several times, he still used his own skills to reinstall and repair it.

"Hey, Nana, I'm back." He raised his voice.

He walked into the house and closed the wooden door behind him.

Li Runshan looked at the empty stone house and knew that they were all underground, so he put down the mushroom bag, took off his cracked helmet, and turned to walk towards the living room.

That is the entrance to the underground civil air defense.

However, after taking only a few steps, he frowned, the smile on his face quickly faded, and his steps slowed down and became lighter.

Snapped.

He paused abruptly and turned to look behind him.

The empty corridor of the stone house was gray and white, with only two colorful paintings by Eisena on the wall.

Li Runshan scanned the corridor carefully, checking every corner.

But nothing was found.

He trusted his intuition because just now, he felt someone behind him.

Someone was standing about five or six meters away from him, staring at him.

"Could it be a ghost?" He carefully checked the talisman plates on the surrounding walls. All the talisman plates were exchanged from Yu Hong. These talisman plates were evenly pasted on the inner walls of the stone house, covering most of the area. If the ghost wanted to come in, it would definitely touch the talisman plates, causing a reaction.

But he checked all the talisman boards on the wall and found no movement.

The talisman board was intact and still stuck to the wall.

"Fuck!" Li Runshan felt something was wrong.

He took out the red value detector and pressed the switch. The value on it was normal, showing 11.
It is obvious that the surrounding symbol plates offset part of the red radiation in the outside air.

Holding the detector, he breathed a sigh of relief and pressed the off button.

Suddenly, he saw a reflection from the smooth panel of the detector.

In the reflection, behind him, not far away, there seemed to be a blurry white figure standing.

It was hard to tell whether the figure was a man or a woman, but one could vaguely feel that the other person was smiling.

A very bright smile.

He smiled happily at Li Runshan in the reflection of the detector.

Swish.

Li Runshan turned around suddenly, but there was nothing behind him.

But at this moment, he already knew that he was wrong!
"I can't stay here. I can't let Nana get into trouble!" He was so frightened that he made a quick decision. He put on his equipment, opened the door, rushed out of the stone house, rushed out of the yard, and soon disappeared in the fog.
