Desperate Night.

Chapter 223 Water Source 223
Shu Cheng was in the car.

He arrived by car with a young girl who was about eighteen or nineteen years old.

It was thirty degrees below zero and the two were wrapped up tightly. Through the goggles, one could see icicles on their eyelashes.

After entering the secondary safe area of ​​the camp.

Shu Cheng immediately brought Yu Hong an important message.

"What?! Yiyi has left the second investigation team?" There was a small black snake lying on Yu Hong's shoulder. When he heard Shu Cheng's retelling, his face suddenly changed. The small snake on his shoulder evaporated quickly and disappeared.

"Yes, to be exact, two weeks ago, Lin Yiyi was attacked on her way back and disappeared." Shu Cheng said seriously. He squinted and saw the disappearing black snake.

"Where is Xin Zhilei? Why didn't she tell me?" Yu Hong suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Minister Xin must be worried that you will refuse to provide resources and materials to the investigation team, so she deliberately concealed this matter. She asked me to tell you, please rest assured, because Yiyi has a locator on her body, now we can confirm that she is still alive, and the follow-up support team is about to find her." Shu Cheng said quickly. "In addition, the details of this matter are included in the transaction items this time, you can check it in detail later."

He lowered his head, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. This time, the cargo had specially hidden a large-yield remote-controlled bomb. As long as the cargo was delivered to the camp, the entire camp would be blown up in an instant.

"Hehe." Yu Hong looked grim. His trust in Xin Zhilei had dropped to zero.

All the other party's words were meaningless. It was obvious that the other party concealed his purpose just to use Yiyi's name to get his goods for free.

"Give it here!" He held out his hand.

"The goods to be handed over are all in the car, please count them carefully. In addition, Minister Xin means that the supplies given to Lin Yiyi before will not be taken for nothing, and you will be double compensated later. Please believe in the United Army, everything is for the future of mankind." Shu Cheng seemed to have something else to say, he bowed respectfully, then got into the car with the little girl and left.

The little girl seemed to want to say something to Shu Cheng, but she didn't say anything until she left.

The car left the camp with the humming sound of the engine and quickly disappeared into the black fog.

Only a few black containers with the same outer packaging as before were left.

Yu Hong looked at several boxes and asked Long Xi to go forward and open the boxes one by one.

Nothing unusual was found.

But thinking back to Shu Cheng's strangeness and reminder, he decided to put all the boxes outside the secondary safety zone, away from the camp, and observe the situation first.

The dragon lizards spit out the core and pushed the box away.

While practicing in the inner courtyard, Yu Hong was thinking about the strange thing that had just happened.

"It seems something has happened in Gray City and Aurora City. The water problem is imminent. Shu Cheng is from Aurora City and suddenly made such a hint. Obviously, something has happened in New Aurora City. The communicator cannot be used to contact. So do you want to go over and check the situation yourself?"

The Gray City is surrounded by blind people, with only two cracks for entry and exit.

New Aurora City is even farther away, and it will take a few days to find it, even taking Yu Hong's current speed into account.

Yu Hong was a little hesitant, as Gray City and Aurora City were the only channels through which he could obtain drugs such as those used in human enhancement surgery.

If he wanted to go the bloodline transformation route, he had to have a basic and complete start. He didn't know how long it would take to strengthen it if he relied on himself alone.

However, if you leave the camp rashly, the formation mark of the Black Wind Camp will automatically close. Although the dragon lizards can still move, their nests will be out of control and hatching will stop.

All in all, this trip will bring huge losses and risks.

After thinking for a while, Yu Hong decided to go to Huicheng to take a look. He had to find out about Yiyi's matter. In addition, the problem of water source was a big problem. He had solved it, but Huicheng might not be able to do the same.

He has known Lao Zhang for so long that he is considered an acquaintance. With fewer and fewer humans around him, he wants to help them as much as possible. He doesn't want to see fewer and fewer familiar faces around him.

Thinking of this, Yu Hong quickly began to pack up.

It is still necessary to bring the enhanced suit. The breathing valve and the integrated detector are very important and can effectively isolate some toxic substances from direct contact with the skin.

The weapons are still enhanced pistols and meteor balls.

Just leave.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was still dark.

Yu Hong put on the enhanced suit and took out the rift map leading to Gray City.

Taking the four dragon lizards, they quickly walked out of the camp and headed into the black fog outside.

The black fog rolled, and this time Yu Hong took not an atomic lamp, but a bright rechargeable flashlight.

This is similar to the brightness of a mining lamp. When worn on the shoulder, it can penetrate the black fog and shoot more than ten meters away.

Normally he relied on the dragon lizard's black and white vision to judge whether it was dangerous, and only turned on the high-brightness flashlight when necessary.

Following the map Shu Cheng had given me, it was around six o'clock the next afternoon.

Yu Hong walked out of the mountains and forests and entered a vast plain.

The undulating loess plains are covered with sparse gray-white snow powder.

The blood tide black bugs could not get close to him under the cover of his internal energy. He could jump high into the air with one step on the ground and rush a long distance.

Puff puff puff puff.

Yu Hong ran wildly in the snow, moving forward steadily at a speed similar to that of a car running at 100 yards per hour.

The internal energy lingers in the legs, as if tireless.

After running and stopping for a while, Yu Hong slowed down, landed on top of a protruding large yellow rock, and took out the map to check his location.

'Without satellite map navigation, it's too difficult to determine the direction in the dark fog.'

He frowned and sighed in his heart.

There was black fog like a wall in front, behind, left and right, and nothing could be seen.

He roughly estimated the direction and rushed forward. "The road was covered with heavy snow, and I couldn't find the direction at all. I could only rely on my feeling."

Gray city.

The sparse crowd slowly dispersed, and groups of desperate people walked out of the city gate and explored the black fog.

They carried the last bit of cooling water and went looking for the last hope.

Zhang Kaijun and the last few dozen good men from the city's security team stood high on the city wall, watching the scene quietly without stopping it.

The city was dark. The nuclear power generator had run out of power and burned out completely, causing the energy area to become blazingly hot. The highly radioactive liquid prevented any living person from even getting close.

Most of the lights that are still on are the previous rechargeable lights.

The communication was cut off because there was a power outage in the whole city.

"You all should leave too. The radiation leakage here is getting bigger and bigger. According to detection, we should avoid the distribution area of ​​dissolving leeches. We can still get some groundwater more than 30 miles away from here. If we stay in the city now, we will just wait for death." Zhang Kaijun said calmly.

"Where can we escape to if we keep running like this?" the adjutant said tiredly. "Humanity has no way out. If we continue to hold on, we will only be left with a lingering existence."

"If you don't hold on, how do you know there will be no hope at the last moment?" Zhang Kaijun asked back.

"Then leave it to others. I'm too tired." The adjutant exhaled.

"Without the pyroxene mines, no matter how much inventory we have, we will die sooner or later. The only difference is whether we die sooner or later." Another person said lightly.

"If the black disaster exceeds level three, special weapons must be made to temporarily defeat it, and the evil shadow must accurately analyze its operating mechanism, otherwise simply bombing it with weapons would be a waste. Such a world." said the adjutant.

Zhang Kaijun stopped talking and looked towards the logistics department building in the dim light.

Some people came out from there one after another.

One of them was Dr. Xu, who was pregnant.

Seeing Dr. Xu reminded him of the Black Wind Camp.
He wanted to send the person over, but before the communication was disconnected, the water problem was not solved there. He estimated that sending the person over would be a death sentence, so it would be better to save some effort and avoid suffering on the way.

There was silence for a while.

Zhang Kaijun spoke slowly.

"Has the detonator been deployed?"

"Well, after those who want to leave have left, we will work together to completely detonate all the reserve pyroxenes and resolve the encirclement of the people with their eyes closed. Rather than leaving them to be slowly wasted by the red value in the environment, it is better to explode them in a bunch. Maybe we can even kill some high-level black disasters around them, let them enter the recovery stage, and buy a way to survive for everyone who escapes." The adjutant replied.

"We still couldn't resist the black disaster," Zhang Kaijun said in a low voice. Looking at the gray land outside the city, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes. "It's a pity that the Research Department has just found a universal and safe way to enhance people. It will take another month, no, maybe half a month, to produce a high-purity drug that can enhance the whole body without reducing life span."

One after another, the group turned around and descended from the city wall, waiting for the final moment to arrive.

As the last group of people walked out of the city gate.

The door slowly fell down, completely isolating the inside and outside layer by layer.

More than ten minutes later, in the warehouse where pyroxene was stored.

Zhang Kaijun and the last thirty or so people who were left stood in the open space.

Everyone was looking at the boxes of pyroxene fragments stacked deep in the warehouse.

A large number of black explosive packs were placed close to these pyroxene fragments.

A thin fuse, connected to the explosives, was pulled out several meters and landed at the feet of Zhang Kaijun where he was standing at the moment.

The black fog was surging and had now occupied most of the area outside the warehouse.

There was no light and no energy. Although many places were still coated with sunlight materials to resist, huge blood monsters still quietly entered the city.

However, the light has the effect of suppressing the blood tide monsters.

"Because this is a pyroxene warehouse, the concentration of negative radiation is extremely high, so no black disaster will come in. It is still safe for the time being."

"Gentlemen."

Zhang Kaijun looked at everyone present. Those standing here included the security team, the research department, and the logistics department. The people who just stood behind him had been replaced.

Not everyone is so calm in the face of death.

"Rather than dying under the terror and lies of the Black Disaster, it is better to detonate everything and put an end to it all. The speed of the explosion will allow us to feel only a moment of pain before everything ends."

"It's time to return to our original hometown." Someone murmured in a low voice.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

The sound of heavy footsteps came from outside the warehouse.

Along with the low roar, the calls of most birds were getting closer and closer.

Without the defenses on the city walls, the Black Disasters entered the fortress city with impunity, looking for living people to hunt as food.

"Lao Zhang, open the door quickly, I'm Yu Hong, I'm here to save you!" Suddenly a voice came from outside.

"This time, I won't run away again." Zhang Kaijun listened to the noise outside with a calm expression. He ignored it and continued to light the match in his hand.

The bean-sized yellow flame swayed and trembled in the wind in his hands.
