Desperate Night.

Chapter 243 Attack 243
in the dark.

Yu Hong stood quietly in front of the gray and black wreckage, not saying a word.

There were quite a few fresh bloodstains on the wreckage, which clearly showed that there had been someone here just now.

"Are you avoiding me?" he asked in a low voice.

"What a pity. Even if you can avoid my pursuit, how long can you live?"

He turned around, stopped searching, and left quickly.

It doesn't matter if he can't find her. He can't keep wasting time here with Xin Zhilei. After all, he knows exactly how badly she's injured.

call.
Xin Zhilei, who was hiding in the dark, exhaled suddenly and relaxed her muscles. She covered her mouth and a trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth.

She was hit on the plane just now and was seriously injured. After the crash, it was the big guy from the association who helped her to bear the burden, otherwise she would have died.

But even so, she would not live long.
"I really can't accept this." She lowered her head and looked at the bloody mess on her stomach.

On the ground nearby, his son was still unconscious, lying motionless. The extremely cold temperature had caused his hands, feet, and face to become stiff and lose their softness.

"I will entrust him to you on the 17th. In exchange, I will give you what you want most." Xin Zhilei said weakly.

".Do you believe me?" The burly masked man quietly emerged from behind and asked in surprise.

"I have no one else to trust. If you don't want to take care of him anymore, then open the box and set him free."

"Can his illness heal on its own?" The burly masked man was surprised.

"You'll know when the time comes." Xin Zhilei was half lying at the foot of the tree, breathing became increasingly difficult.

"Tell him to live well." Her breathing gradually weakened, and her eyes slowly became unable to open in the cold air.

"Unfortunately, you were only one step away. Even if he survived, he would only become Black Disaster and would not be able to remember you anymore." The burly masked man sighed.

"Maybe..." Xin Zhilei finally closed her eyes, raised her hand, and gently stroked the lid of the transparent box containing her son.

Her hand finally rested on the lid, moving slower and slower until it stopped moving.

Blood flowed out from the big hole in her stomach and froze into red ice not long after flowing away.

The next day.

The search team found Xin Zhilei's body in the surrounding woods.

There was nothing around her and all her belongings had been taken away. It was obvious that someone had discovered her first.

The Allied Forces brought her back to the city and buried her. No matter what she planned to do in the future, at least she had put in countless efforts in the establishment of Aurora City No. 2.

A grand funeral is still worth it.

Afterwards, Yu Hong and Chen Xiguang met, and the two determined the compensation for the Black Wind Camp, and found that the water source pollution was gradually receding.

According to the confessions of the Echo Force members who were captured later, the Black Disaster Dissolving Leeches were suspected to be spread by Xin Zhilei as bait, attracting a large number of them to gather under the Aurora City.

It is impossible to achieve this density simply by natural convergence.

After Xin Zhilei's death, the dissolved leeches in the groundwater finally slowly dispersed.

Some areas of groundwater can also partially pump out water for emergency use. In this way, although the total water supply is still insufficient, at least the people will not be in turmoil due to water problems.

"Are you planning to leave now?" Chen Yaofeng asked in surprise.

In a square in the city, many people were burning paper money in a corner to send blessings to their deceased relatives.

The piles of flames looked like dancing red ribbons, bright and cold.

Several guards accompanied Chen Yaofeng and Yu Hong to meet in the corner of the square.

"I've been out long enough, it's time to go back. There are still things to deal with at the camp." Yu Hong was still thinking about the physical strengthening potion at home, the one he got from Zhang Kaijun in Huicheng.

After more than ten days of strengthening, I don’t know to what extent I can strengthen myself.

"You really don't want to stay? There's enough food and socializing here. And you've been single for so long, don't you feel lonely?" Chen Yaofeng slightly revealed his second-generation nature. Only at this time could he feel that he really had a father who was a committee member.

"You'll get used to it." Yu Hong smiled. He didn't think there was any other person of the opposite sex who could stand him.

And in these aspects, it is best to let nature take its course.

"Okay then. I have some news about the Eternal Life Association and will inform you as soon as possible. You have to be careful in the Black Wind Camp and don't be targeted by them. After all, no matter how strong you are, you are only one person." Chen Yaofeng really wanted to make friends with Yu Hong.

"I'll leave Yiyi's matter to you guys," Yu Hong said seriously.

The fundamental reason why Lin Yiyi refused to go back was that she wanted to find out what happened to her parents and grandfather's deaths.

Now that her relationship with Chen Yaofeng has become closer, the other party has also agreed to help Lin Yiyi investigate the disappearance case in Heishu Village.

In this way, more people will take care of Lin Yiyi's safety.

Yu Hong should also be relieved.

"In addition, we will also try to perform corrective surgery on Yiyi's deformity. We will also find a way to treat the stuttering problem, so don't worry!" Chen Yaofeng said sincerely.

"Thank you!" Yu Hong shook hands with him seriously. Two hours later.

Yu Hong was given the title of scientific research consultant of Aurora City. He visited Lin Yiyi, Xue Ningning and others outside the hospital again, and then quietly left Aurora City.

The supplies that Xin Zhilei took away had long since disappeared, so the Allied Forces compensated him with more other supplies.

Dragging the tied first base box, Yu Hong ran all the way. It took him less than half the time to go back, and he easily returned to the vicinity of the Black Wind Camp.

The camp was peaceful and quiet. Without the attraction of human presence, ghosts and the like had no interest in this place. Coupled with the formation emitting negative values, this place made Black Disaster extremely disgusted.

The entire camp stone fortress remains the same as it was when Yu Hong left.

The only difference was that there was more and more snow on the ground and on the roofs.

Woo.
The biting cold wind kept blowing outside the cave.

Under the warm light, inside the cave, Yu Hong slowly turned over, yawned, and put his feet down from the stone bed.

Lifting the quilt, he glanced at the detector hanging on the wall.

'Outdoor temperature: -52 degrees Celsius.'

“It’s getting colder”

Yu Hong sighed. If the weather was like that before, with that density of black disaster, there might be survivors passing through the camp. But in the current environment, it is impossible for anyone to dare to hang out outside.

Because of the low temperature, wandering around will definitely lead to death.

After putting on a piece of clothing, he stood up and walked to the strengthening potion.

Open the communicator.

With a hissing sound.

Chen Yaofeng replaced Xin Zhilei and became the third person to chat with Zhang Kaijun.

"The situation outside is getting more and more serious." Zhang Kaijun said in a deep voice, "The low temperature is one thing. Recently, a new kind of black disaster has appeared in the outside world. It is a small white creature similar to a snake. Its attack method is to pass through the snow and sneak attack from under your feet and inject venom."

"That's nothing. I'm in big trouble here. Even with the protection of a large closed system, the fatal problem is still the low temperature." Chen Yaofeng sighed, "More than 30 people in the city have been found frozen to death in their beds in the past two days."

"Is it okay to strengthen humans?" Yu Hong asked.

"That's not a problem. Enhanced people are strong and don't get sick that easily." Chen Yaofeng replied. "But I'm worried that if the temperature continues to drop, even enhanced people won't be able to withstand it. Going out will be a huge problem at that time."

"How is the Eternal Life Association's investigation going?" Yu Hong asked.

"We have no idea. It's too dangerous outside. Our investigation team had to go back not long after going out. It was too cold." Chen Yaofeng said.

"What about the investigation team? Who is taking over now?"

"Mr. Yan Yuqiu, there is no way to investigate. If you don't have enough warmth to go out, you won't be able to walk far."

"Have you confirmed the contents of the USB drive?"

"Well, a copy has been sent to all existing Aurora Cities. It's up to them whether they believe it or not."

Chen Yaofeng and Yu Hong communicated quickly, and Zhang Kaijun, who was listening to them, was a little confused.

"In fact, we had some awareness of this before, but this time we dragged the Immortality Association out and put it out in the open. Now that the information is public, other places are probably still investigating themselves. But it won't be long before everything is settled."

"Have you ever done any statistics on the various technologies that the Eternal Life Association possesses?" Yu Hong asked.

"You want to ask about the specific revenge you might have to face, right?" Chen Yaofeng understood. "The main methods are to induce black disasters, black blood people, transform the body into super self-healing, and the most important thing is longevity."

"It's a bit troublesome, and if the temperature remains so low, we must take all measures," said Yu Hongdao.

"Flames, heating pipes, closed greenhouses. If it gets really cold, it won't be a big problem. The problem is that it will be very troublesome to go out after it gets cold." Chen Yaofeng sighed, "I just received news from Flicka. They found out how to close the Door of Despair. It was a clue obtained by a historian named Will Rotman at the risk of his life."

"What method? What will happen if the Door of Despair is closed? Can the black disaster be completely resolved?" Yu Hong asked.

"The Gate of Despair is the source of the black disaster. In every country, it was because of the initial black well, followed by a blood tide, and then the Gate of Despair appeared, and the red value of the air increased significantly. The high-risk monsters and high-risk evil shadows in the blood tide all poured out from the Gate of Despair." Zhang Kaijun added.

"That's right, Xiao Zhang is right." Chen Yaofeng affirmed, "We have three Gates of Despair in Donghe, five in Flicka, and other countries basically have one or two. So if we can close the Gates of Despair, we can stop the increase in the number of black disasters and stop the deterioration of the environment."

"What is the shutdown method?" Yu Hong understood the meaning and took it seriously.

"Find the key that first led out of the Door of Despair, Black Disaster, and put it back in." Chen Yaofeng said quickly, "A historian from Flicka used this trick to successfully close a Door of Despair."

"Very strong!" Yu Hong exclaimed. "Can an ordinary person achieve this?"

"Of course not. Therefore, this historian must not be an ordinary person." Zhang Kaijun said.

"Yes, he is a mutant. And he has some kind of in-law relationship with the Mesha family." Chen Yaofeng said. "According to the calculations of the expert group, the outside temperature will continue to drop in the next six months, and may reach minus ninety degrees. If we can't find a way to stop it, we can only completely stop going out and hide in the cave forever."

The three of them discussed for a long time on the communicator, but could not find a good solution.

In fact, they all know very well that excessively low temperatures will bring fatal threats to ordinary people, marginalized people and the lower class people. If this continues, the already sparse population will become smaller and smaller.
