I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 405 Encounter
The wilderness outside the ruins is a place full of loneliness and desolation.

There is no hustle and bustle of the city here, only the tranquility and solitude of nature.

The wilderness of the Kingdom of Eternal Night seems to have left the boundaries of human civilization, with only barren land and withered plants.

The earth was gray, barren and hard. The sparse vegetation swayed in the wind, making rustling sounds, as if telling where they were born and where they died.

Shelly fixed the lantern in her hand in the cab of the heavy truck.

Then he held his helmet and looked at the scenery in the distance, and said dejectedly in the bumpy ride of the heavy truck:

"The port of return in the Province of Signo was once known as the 'Flower City of the Border'.

I still remember the day when the celebration arrived.

In the suburbs late at night, flowers are in full bloom, like an epic and magnificent piece of music.

The aurora-like light poured down from the sky, lighting up the land and reflecting endless beauty.

The towering cedars, the tall oaks, and the wild flowers all over the mountains are like pearls under the night sky, flashing a faint but tenacious light.

Whether it is the deep blue cornflowers, golden dandelions, or purple lavender, they sway gently in the night breeze, as if whispering the legend of the ancient drifters' hometown.

The air at that time was filled with the scent of flowers and fresh soil.

but now.

After the disaster they called the 'Black Tide' swept through.

All that remains is decay.”

The young guard said this with some sadness.

She leaned against the back seat of the black steel truck and couldn't help shrinking, hugging the giant steam sword in her hand tightly, as if that could give her some sense of security.

after all.

If she wasn't on the other side of this lost sea of disaster, she would probably still be in middle school now.

It's normal to feel fear and terror.

However, Krosan, who has always focused all her attention on the study of life forms, also discovered this.

Perhaps something in what Shelly had just said touched her.

Krosan pulled out a glass bottle from her handbag, took out a pill from it, turned around and handed it to the young guard in the back seat:
“Hibiscus crocus.

It is written in the Ebers Papyrus that this lozenge has a good effect in calming the nerves.

But I guess there is no such herb in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.

Try it, this is what I made when I was bored. ”

The last sentence is a bit redundant.

Su Wen, who was driving, complained silently in his heart.

But Shelly is clearly a more shy girl when she has no enemies.

She said thank you, and then swallowed the pill with the Life School's enhanced imprint without any doubt.

Soon, everything seemed to quiet down for her, and the atmosphere was not so frightening anymore.

As for Su Wen and the life science researcher, they did not have too many emotional fluctuations.

Krosan even wanted to play a song called Faded.

But this proposal was immediately rejected by Su Wen:

"There's no disc player on this truck, so I can't record the disc in advance."

The handsome detective did prepare a lot of things in the storage box. If he took out his beloved car that he had won the championship in Detroit as the No. 25 driver, it might be possible.

But this idea is indeed a bit too stupid.

Being rational, he would never choose to do so.

that's it.

Heavy trucks are traveling across the wilderness of the Kingdom of Eternal Night.

The unique mechanical devices in the steampunk world are scattered everywhere, some are dilapidated, and some are still barely functioning.

These mechanical devices were once the masters of this land, but now they have become witnesses of history.

But eventually they will all rust in the cold wind, be covered by dust and buried by mud.

Occasionally, animal remains can be seen scattered on the ground in Krosan.

Those once active lives sought opportunities for survival here, but now only these cold bones are left.

Whenever such a moment occurs, the researcher will use the privilege agreed upon before the operation to get off the car and collect data.

Even though these bones came from ordinary wild beasts and were not as expensive as dragon bones, they were still very rare treasures to her.

“Wipe the saliva a little.

You are riding in my car now."

Su Wen said helplessly.

It was hard for him to imagine a young girl showing such an expression towards a skeleton.

But Krosan was not afraid of him at all. She had heard from her brother Nelson that as long as it did not affect the smooth progress of the plan, Mr. Rhine would generally ignore those minor incidents with a tolerant attitude that was very representative of a leader.

So the researcher just smiled slightly restrainedly: "Hehe.

I was just too excited.

Rhine, you know that these life forms have specialized genetic sequences that can produce proteins that sense low-frequency light in order to adapt to the night.

If it could be grafted onto the genetic sequence of living organisms in the current world.

Then our adaptability to the already extremely low-light, silent and dark space will be further improved.

This is genetic ascension."

Su Wen recalled the system prompt he had seen before

[Key time points for genetic ascension in the future]

He is a scholar.

Naturally, he can think about the value of this knowledge in a calm and rational manner, and he also understands that the extended use of knowledge has two sides.

But as for Krosan's mental state, after recalling Nelson's vigilant expression.

He believes that this part does need to be observed more carefully:
"Now I understand why you guys were imprisoned under the sculpture of the Meteoric Transportation Institute."

She said proudly.

“What does it mean to be locked up?

I disguised my identity and sneaked in after getting the information.

As for that crappy sculpture, you don't think it can stop me.

I originally wanted to wait until the fight was at its most intense so I could sneak out and watch the experimental data openly."

"The meaning of your words may not be so upright."

Su Wen sorted out the information.

now.

One hour and thirty-seven minutes had passed since they left the homeward port of Signo Province.

The entire wilderness was filled with a desolate atmosphere, with only the wind blowing across the land, as if telling an ancient and distant story.

In this story, human civilization has become a thing of the past, and post-disaster nature has become the protagonist.

A thin mist that made people feel uncomfortable gradually spread over the wilderness of the Kingdom of Eternal Night.

Even the gas light that was swaying slightly inside the black steel truck dimmed a little.

The guard girl tightly grasped the metal handrail beside her.

In this dark world, bursts of low humming sounds suddenly came from the distance, as if they were the roar of some huge machinery.

As the sound gradually grew louder, I saw a series of wriggling black shadows rising from the distant horizon, like lifeless waves, slowly and steadily advancing forward.

It was an irresistible force, a huge tide of infected people.

Their bodies looked extremely terrifying under the moonlight; their tattered clothes, hideous expressions, and lifeless eyes revealed endless despair and madness.

"Let's stop chatting now."

Su Wen calmly held the steering wheel and suddenly accelerated the turn. The heavy truck also rushed towards the high hills in the wilderness with a handsome side drift.

Not long after.

They parked the car at a high point where the tide of zombies could not reach it.

Krosan also took out the life signal detector and began to perform spectrum analysis of life forms.

The air was gradually filled with the fishy smell of blood and the greasy smell of machinery; these two smells intertwined together to form a disgusting odor.

The sound of the wind in the wilderness seemed like the roars of the infected people, accompanied by their approaching footsteps, making people feel an unprecedented fear.

As for the low-lying location in the wilderness.

In an instant, the tide of corpses came like a flood, covering the sky and the earth, dyeing the earth blood red.

This scene is like a nightmare, making people feel deeply despair.

Shelly also remembers the nightmare.

The emergence of the zombie tide pushed all life into the abyss of despair.

But when she looked up and saw the handsome man parking the heavy truck in a high place, there was not a trace of fear in his eyes, only calm silence.

It seems that such a huge source of disaster before us cannot be called a crisis.

suddenly.

The wind direction changed.

The low temperature was accompanied by tiny ice crystals swaying and spreading in the wind.

The girl felt as if a huge figure appeared in the sky.

She looked up.

She saw a scene that she would probably never forget in her life.

It was a:
A giant dragon that is wrapped in frost and covers the sky.
