Desperate Night.

Chapter 231 Mystery 231
Inside the Second Aurora City.

Xin Zhilei and four other members of the Joint Military Commission stood at the five corners of the venue.

They were all protected by separate fences, and there were circles of guards outside them.

This is the meeting place of life. It is also the place where the leaders of the coalition forces and representatives of the middle and lower classes communicate face to face and listen to the opinions of the people after the outbreak of the black disaster.

In Donghe, this is a unique communication model, also known as a mobile conference.

The five members of the Second Aurora City are Chen Xiguang, who is in charge of the three armies of the United Army; Zhao Xiang, who is in charge of medical care, health and epidemic prevention; Liu Chengpeng, who is in charge of construction, restoration and design; Xin Zhilei, who is in charge of exploring and investigating the black disaster; and Adili Muhe, who is in charge of internal affairs, people's livelihood and scientific research.

As the most important member of the No. 2 New Aurora City, Chen Xiguang has been in charge of the security and defense of the black disaster in the surrounding urban areas. According to the division of labor, he controls most of the main forces of the army, while Xin Zhilei is in charge of the few elite investigation forces selected.

It’s just that Chen Xiguang is old, now nearly seventy years old, and his physical energy is far inferior to that of young people, so most of the time he doesn’t care much about the affairs of the investigation team.

Just dealing with various black disasters was enough to make him overwhelmed.

At this time, the old man with a tired face was standing in his seat seriously, reading the written speech.

The ups and downs of the voice continued to echo throughout the quiet conference hall.

".According to the feedback from the clearing operation, the three black disaster groups with higher danger levels around the city have been lured to a farther distance using the induction fluid technology. Thank you to the 7th Battalion of the 9th Brigade of the 3rd Army for your sacrifice. It is your efforts and fearlessness of sacrifice that have maintained the final peace of the Second Aurora City. For this, I declare that I will grant..."

Listening to Chen Xiguang's voice, Adili Muhe, who was also a committee member, suddenly frowned and heard the report coming from the miniature earphones in his ears.

"Commissioner Adili, the surveillance beacons we set up outside the city have spotted the mysterious group of black-armored men again. They are attacking another group that appears to be from the investigation force."

Adili raised his hands, rubbed his face to cover his mouth, and whispered.

"There's no news from Xin Zhilei's direct troops?"

"No."

"That's strange," Adili was a little puzzled. In fact, under the current situation, every commissioner who can gain a foothold in the city has his own armed forces. No matter which area he is in charge of.

As the person in charge of logistics and scientific research, he naturally has his own armed forces and informants.

Recently, he discovered through his informants that Xin Zhilei's investigation team had suddenly made a lot of small moves.

This made him somewhat curious. The investigation of the Black Disaster was of great importance. The main reason why Xin Zhilei was able to get this classification was that she had provided a lot of secret information before. The main force of the investigation team under her command was her direct subordinates trained by herself from the very beginning.

After the Black Disaster broke out, she continued to provide a large amount of top-secret intelligence, which prevented the Allied Forces from suffering heavy casualties on many occasions. She was therefore awarded great merit and was promoted repeatedly.

This ultimately led to the fact that among the five committee members in the city, Xin Zhilei was the youngest, only in her thirties, while the rest were all over fifty.

"Continue to observe. Report at any time when necessary." Adili ordered.

"Yes, the second piece of news is that starting yesterday, the rechargeable micro-sensors outside the city discovered that there were living people thirty kilometers away moving towards Aurora City, taking the standard rift route."

"Are there any survivors? How many are they? Perhaps they can provide us with more information about the black disaster." Adili became interested.

Now that something has happened with the Black Disaster Investigation Team, all external exploration has been suspended. Although Xin Zhilei has given out some information, anyone can see that she is just trying to get by.

How to suppress the black disaster and gain more survival resources for mankind has become a difficult problem that worries everyone.

The key to suppressing the black disaster lies in intelligence.

"There is only one person, and no means of transportation has been found. It is preliminarily estimated that he is a strength-enhanced human. He is in a hurry and carrying a lot of luggage. In this environment, he can struggle to find a crack and break out of the black disaster alone. It can be seen that he is very brave and skilled. Send someone to meet him and see if he can be brought into our original force." Adili said softly.

"Yes."

As the one with the widest detection range among the five commissioners, he also relied on such means to gather the most enhanced human masters.

It is precisely because of this that he couldn't understand how so many enhanced human masters appeared under Xin Zhilei's command.

Thinking of what Commissioner Yang from the Supervisory Committee who came from City No. 1 said before, Adili was half-believing and half-doubting.

Even if Xin Zhilei really has problems, the information she provided before and the many people she rescued are still there, and they are all her firm supporters.

These people add up to more than ten thousand, and many of them are direct family members of officials at all levels. This network of relationships forces anyone who wants to touch her to first consider whether they are qualified.

The dark Baihang Mountains look like a giant caterpillar crawling in the darkness.

Its edges were all covered with dense, blackened woods.

These forests were lush and green before the black disaster broke out, but now they have died one after another due to lack of sunlight. After the leaves fell off, only the withered branches were left, creating a mess.

There are small unmanned outposts of various sizes scattered along the edge of the mountain.

These outposts are all standard templates, consisting of an airstrip and a small box-shaped bungalow.

The bright lights were once the only refuge for the survivors around at night.

But as the black disaster deepened, there were no survivors left outside.

All that was left of the outposts were lonely white lights, nestled in the thick black fog.

Yu Hong was standing in front of a sentry post at this time, looking inside through the barbed wire.

He had already taken down the iron ball and hid it in the outer woods.

Anyway, ordinary people can’t take that thing away, and there are no living people outside now.

He also tidied himself up to make himself look more like a survivor who came to seek asylum.

After all, the main purpose of his trip was to investigate the real situation inside Aurora City.

If she made her purpose clear, with Xin Zhilei's power, if she really had a big problem, it would not be impossible for her to launch a long-range bombardment on him.

He is not afraid of trouble, but he does not want to cause unnecessary casualties. Therefore, he has to change his identity first.
Thinking of this, he threw a bag of nutritional paste into his mouth, bit it with his teeth, sucked out the contents and spit it out.

"From now on, I'll be called Lin Lan." Lin is the last name of the little stammerer, and Lan is just a homophonic word.

Reaching out and patting the barbed wire in front of him, Yu Hong looked around and soon found a slowly rotating camera surveillance head on the eaves of the only gray and white bungalow.

He waved at the other person.

The surveillance camera clicked and made a noise.

Then a surprised voice was heard soon.

"I haven't seen any survivors in a long time. Where did you come from?!"

"From near Baihe City, my name is Lin Lan. Where is New Aurora City? Why can't I find it?" Yu Hong replied.

"You need someone to pick you up, you can't get in." The man replied, "You are really lucky. In this temperature and environment, you can walk so far by yourself."

"I've always had good luck." Yu Hong nodded in agreement. "I met a car halfway along the way that still had gas in it, so I drove all the way here. It was the last section of the road when the car ran out of gas, so I had to walk all the way here."

"Just a moment."

The surveillance sound quieted down.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, a faint buzzing sound was soon heard in the night sky.

Not long after, a square drone more than two meters long landed from the night sky.

A black plastic seat with a safety buckle is hung under the drone.

"Come up, I'll take you into the city. Let me remind you that entering the city requires a lot of procedures to be reviewed, and you may not be able to pass them." A voice came from the drone.

"I understand." Yu Hong nodded and sat down.

Suddenly the entire drone sank heavily.

".You are too heavy. Wait a minute, I will change you." The voice said speechlessly.

After struggling for more than half an hour, Yu Hong finally flew up slowly under the suspension of a new large drone and flew towards the night sky shrouded in black fog.

He was tense all over, fearing that the drone would lose control and crash.

Fortunately, Aurora City’s technology is still very strong and no malfunctions occurred along the way.

After flying in the black fog for several minutes.

Soon, the aircraft began to slow down and descend.

The fog in front began to thin, and slowly, a huge circular city appeared in Yu Hong's vision.

The city seems to be surrounded by mountains, forming a huge round basin.

The top is covered with a thick transparent glass cover.

Through the cover, you can see the buildings with bright lights on.

Searchlights that clearly had special functions radiated from the cover, illuminating the surrounding black fog from time to time.

The aircraft carried Yu Hong and landed outside the transparent cover, on a gray apron that stretched out like a tongue.

"Now, after you come down, there are five inspection doors in front of you. Go in one by one. If the green lights on all the inspection doors are on, you can come in." The electronic voice sounded again.

Yu Hong responded, unbuckled his safety buckle, and got down to stretch his body.

Looking around, there was no one around, only a single passage directly in front of me.

There are five round-arch mechanical doors in the passage, each with various runes and patterns on them.

The five silver metal doors seemed to welcome all outsiders.

He walked over without hesitation and passed through all the doors one after another. All five doors were green.

At the end of the front passage is a square door made of transparent glass.

Two figures in white protective suits can be seen inside the door, holding guns and waiting by the side.

"Okay, congratulations, you've passed the most troublesome review. Next, please disarm all your weapons and go to the door." The electronic eye sounded again.

Yu Hong readily took off the only dagger he had. He had already hidden the rest of the weapons together with the iron ball.

All he has on him now are some vortex rune plates and radiation bombs.

Both of these are used against evil disasters and do no harm to humans.

The only thing he was a little worried about was the two black water balls he had just collected, fearing that they would be discovered by the door.

But now it seems that everything is fine.

hiss.
As he walked to the glass door, it slid open automatically and the two people inside walked out quickly.

Both of them are about two meters tall, and through their protective clothing one can tell that they have muscular build.

But when they came in front of Yu Hong, their sturdy figures of more than two meters were still a little shorter than Yu Hong.

And their body width is also obviously thinner.
