Desperate Night.

Chapter 232 Mystery 232

"Here comes a big guy!" A man patted Yu Hong's arm in a familiar manner. "Brother, you are lucky. Your physique is the most popular in the city now!"

He smiled and winked at Yu Hong ambiguously.

Even through the transparent helmet cover, you can still tell that this guy is quite frivolous.

"You're really lucky to be able to make it all the way to Aurora City." The other man's voice was much more steady, and he had a sparse black beard on his chin.

"Come in. The city is currently undergoing a major construction project, so there is no need to keep idle people. Let me introduce you to some jobs. You can think about finding a job. This place has the highest technology in the entire East River, and a lot of technology beyond the imagination of ordinary people was rescued from the collapsed Silver Tower. So you don't have to worry about food. What you need to consider is what kind of job you can find to survive in this place. After all, food and accommodation are not free."

"Yeah!" Yu Hong nodded.

His calmness surprised both of them.

But no one doubts this. When the black disaster broke out, many people experienced life and death, and their emotions became numb and seriously lacked fluctuations.

Yu Hong is not an isolated case.

The three of them entered the glass door, and in front of them was an escalator sloping downwards.

Below the escalator is an extremely large circular area.

A large number of gray and black buildings have been built in the area.

More than a dozen residential and office buildings are densely packed together, like chopsticks pinched into one piece, slender and straight.

Between the buildings are dark green green belts and neatly planned gray-white driveways.

Countless people are moving back and forth in the green belts between these buildings.

"There are five major systems in the city, and you can enter and apply freely. They are the departments under the jurisdiction of the five major committees, namely medical, construction, internal affairs, exploration, and the most important joint military department."

"Then may I ask which department Minister Xin Zhilei is in charge of?" Yu Hong asked.

"It's the investigation and exploration department. What? You want to join? It's one of the most dangerous departments, with a high mortality rate, but also the highest benefits." The bearded man said in surprise.

"I'm just asking." Yu Hong gave an awkward smile, as if he was frightened and backed off.

"Haha. When you enter the city, you can get a temporary residence, but it's only ten square meters, very small. If you want to survive and live well, you have to work and make contributions."

The two took Yu Hong down the escalator and received their ID cards and keys to their temporary residence in front of a circular white counter.

"Brother Lin, I believe that with your physical strength, you will be able to make a name for yourself sooner or later. Come on!"

Half an hour later, the two men led Yu Hong to a residential building, gave him some final instructions, and then left.

Yu Hong looked at their backs as they left, and then looked at the people coming and going in a hurry around him.

There are tall buildings, mobile vendors’ shops downstairs, and groups of ordinary people gathering in twos and threes to buy goods.

The noisy voices of people and cars poured into his ears. This familiar sound made him feel extremely unreal.

He felt as if he had returned to a safe, familiar and peaceful society.

Except that people around here mostly wear gray and black clothes with very few colors, everything else seems to be no different from previous societies.

He stood at the door of the building with his key and ID card. People kept coming in and out beside him. Most of them were shorter than him, but there were also taller ones, and there were even enhanced people who were taller than him.

This seems to be the biggest difference between now and before.

"Hey."

Suddenly, a cautious female voice came from the side.

Yu Hong turned his head to look.

I saw a pretty girl with a ponytail, wearing a simple black jacket and jeans, standing two meters away from me, looking at me carefully.

"Hello, are you the survivor who just came in from outside?" The girl looked to be no more than 20 years old, her eyes looked a little tired, with dark circles under her eyes, but her chest was quite plump and protruding, which was somewhat inconsistent with her slim figure.

"Yes. It's me." Yu Hong was confused when he came in, not knowing where to start. The other party's words gave him a breakthrough to turn on the switch here.

"I'm Li Ziyun, the building manager of this building. If you need anything, you can consult me ​​through the phone in the room." The girl smiled politely and took out a white business card from her pocket.

Yu Hong took it and saw that besides the name, there was also a phone number.

Another corner of the Second Aurora City.

In a densely packed building dozens of miles away from Yu Hong.

A group of people sat in a room on the thirteenth floor in a depressing atmosphere.

No one said anything.

"My use of the backup drone to enter the city will soon be discovered by the scientific research and logistics department. You can only hide for two days at most."

A bespectacled Union Army officer said in a low voice.

"I will be taken away by the higher authorities for investigation. You need to consider what to do next. Should you expose Xin Zhilei directly or..."

"It's useless!" Xue Ningning sat aside and let Lin Yiyi wipe the wound on her arm with alcohol.

"Xin Zhilei has found a temporary solution to the water problem. Now no one will believe our one-sided story."

"Indeed. I just went outside to ask around, and there are wanted notices outside saying you are infected by the Black Disaster and have even shown abnormalities. Now if you go out, you may be discovered and arrested at any time." The officer with glasses said in a deep voice. "Although the most dangerous place is the safest place, the shielding device is not omnipotent. In addition, since they can't find anything outside, they will sooner or later suspect the city."

"The biggest advantage of the city is that there are so many people. As long as the shield is there, we can blend into the crowd and won't be easily caught." Xue Ningning said, "The key now is that we must obtain evidence to prove that Xin Zhilei is suspicious. And find out why she sent people to attack us!"

"And those guys who can't be killed by bullets, who are they? Their attack speed and strength are not strong, but the key is that their wounds heal too quickly. Even if the bullet hits the head, it heals quickly and nothing happens. This is simply... unimaginable if you don't see it with your own eyes!" Deputy Commander Li Han said angrily. "If it weren't for the sudden attack, so many brothers wouldn't have been killed."

His eyes were red. They had been attacked before and nearly half of the team had been killed in one go. In the end, it was another deputy commander who sacrificed himself to divert the pursuers, and they finally found a chance to escape.

"I" Yiyi treated the wound and raised my hand to speak.

"What's the matter, Yiyi?" Xue Ningning asked.

"I, doubt this." Lin Yiyi took out the small mysterious USB flash drive from the small pocket sewn on her underwear.

She stammered in detail about the origin of the USB drive, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

There are a total of sixteen people still here, all of whom are elite members directly under the Investigation Department. But now the Minister of the Investigation Department, their superior's superior, actually said directly that they were contaminated by the black disaster.

Plus the commander and others who suddenly attacked them at the outpost.

Everyone immediately concluded that perhaps their team was involved in a big secret, and this secret could not be revealed to Aurora City.

That's why there are actions such as ambush and silence to silence people.

At this moment, the USB flash drive that Yiyi suddenly took out seemed to give everyone a clear clue.

So someone immediately stood up to borrow a computer.

Although they were declared black disaster victims, they were still able to cover their faces, pool their silver dollars, and ask others to help buy a laptop for them.

Soon, the two team members who went out brought back a silver-gray laptop.

Turn on the computer, let Yiyi insert the USB drive into it, and start reading information.

A group of people gathered in front of the computer screen, waiting to see what the secret was that could cause them to encounter so many dangers and attacks along the way.

Swish.

On the screen, the USB disk space was opened, and a row of twelve separate text files appeared.

All files are named No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, etc.

Da da.

Xue Ningning clicked on file number one.

Click.

Yu Hong pushed open the door, took out the key, and looked around the small room in front of him.

The small 10-square-meter room actually has its own bathroom.

A square window, with bright white light coming in from outside.

There was a bed, a cabinet, a desk, two chairs and a desk lamp in the room.

That's all.

dong dong dong.

Yu Hong was about to go in and take a look when he heard footsteps behind him again.

He turned around and saw a group of United Nations soldiers wearing full body armor and holding short-handled submachine guns walking up to the door and knocking on it.

"Mr. Lin Lan?" the leader asked in a buzzing voice.

"Yes. Is there anything I can help you with?" Yu Hongdao said.

"We are armed collectors from the Research Department. Since you are the only survivor who has entered the city from the outside world in the past week, we hope that you can go to the Research Department with us to collect the current real-time data of the external black disaster."

"No problem!" Yu Hong nodded.

"Also, excuse me for asking, is Mr. Lin a strengthened human?" the leader asked.

"No." Yu Hong shook his head. He didn't have any characteristics of an enhanced human, which could be easily found out. When he wasn't using his internal energy, he wouldn't release negative radiation like an enhanced human.

"No?" The other party was obviously a little surprised. "Then Mr. Lin must be a martial arts expert?"

"Yeah, a little bit." Yu Hong nodded.

"Let's go, and talk while we walk." When the other party heard that he was not a strengthened person, his tone seemed a lot more relaxed.

Yu Hong followed them into the military vehicle downstairs.

inside the car.

The team leader pulled open his helmet and breathed a sigh of relief.

"To be honest, the last thing ordinary soldiers like us want to come into contact with is enhanced humans."

"What do you mean?" Yu Hong was surprised. Everything in this city, Aurora City, known as the last stronghold of mankind, was unfamiliar and new to him.

"It's mainly because the tempers of enhanced people are unpredictable. They are very unstable. When they are in a good mood, they are very good, and when they are in a bad mood, they are very irritable." The captain sighed. "I had two team members who were severely injured by enhanced people before, and they are still lying in the hospital."

"But enhanced humans should be the main force going out to investigate the black disaster now, right?" Yu Hong asked.

"That's right. The front line relies on us ordinary people, but the in-depth investigation really depends on them. That's why we are in conflict. After all, if we don't use guns, we are really vulnerable in front of them." The captain sighed.

"I understand." Yu Hong nodded.

"Mr. Lin must be very strong to be able to pass through the Black Disaster Rift alone, right?" asked a team member on the side.

"It's okay. I'm mainly lucky." Yu Hong said sincerely.
