Returning from the abyss

Chapter 104: Dark Clouds Overcome the City
After that day, Lin Qi officially took over the management of No. 33 shelter.

Even Zhang Nianxiu didn't object, let alone others.Naturally, it is not that no one has the idea of ​​leaving.Lin Qi didn't force these people to stay at all, and gave them five days' worth of food to let them leave—most people retreated in the face of the severe cold.

And Lin Qi did have some skills.

Zhang Nianxiu's gentle policy was almost completely abolished. A dozen soldiers borrowed from the old man quickly classified and numbered the members of the shelter, the supplies in the warehouse were counted, and the food rationing was released, completely in accordance with wartime standards. Execute all commands.

To build fortifications outside the shelter, even in the extremely cold weather must be started.When Lin Qi took the lead in digging up the first shovel of soil, no one raised a single objection.

After seeing the terrifying swarm of monsters, no one held false illusions of peace anymore. They just wanted to survive this winter and defend the last home in this vast wasteland.Those who didn't work hard were quickly kicked out by the angry crowd. Lin Qi had only one verdict for these people, which was to banish them.

"Since you don't want to live and die here, then don't enjoy any shelter here!"

The people in Vault 33 finally took advantage of the numbers they should have.

"It would be nice to do this early..."

No. 34 can also be seen here, Chu Jianting occasionally goes outside to breathe fresh air, and knows the movements there.He couldn't help feeling sorry for Zhang Nianxiu, the leader. After all, looking at his policy from a general perspective, there was nothing wrong with it.

"It can't be done. Zhang Nianxiu can't make any changes. He has to leave this position. Maybe he realized this and didn't resist? The whole refuge has been built up and it's hard to get back. It can't be saved if we don't take a strong medicine from the root."

Lu Ning came out every day to see the situation outside the shelter, and measured the temperature by the way.Now she doesn't have much to do outside, besides checking up in the morning every day, she learns some fighting skills from Yun Zhiyao.

"However, the irony is that even if you change people, you can't save it."

She gave a small smile.

"The most terrible thing is the force majeure from the outside. There are as many as fifteen evil claws that we know so far. Even if not all of them come to attack, it is enough to crush this small refuge."

"But from Lin Qi's appearance, he is seriously preparing for this matter."

"I don't care whether he is sincere or not. I will not forget my identity. I will definitely not be buried here—huh?"

Lu Ning felt a slight chill on her face.

"Snowing?"

She reached out to touch it, and suddenly realized that the sun was already dimmer today, only less noticeable due to the cold.

Looking far away, you can see that the end of the eastern sky has been shrouded in black clouds. How long will it take for those clouds to arrive here?

[Today is the early morning of No.12 day.The temperature at this time was minus 22 degrees Celsius. 】

It feels like the blood is about to freeze, and as long as the skin touches the air, it will quickly lose consciousness. The sleepiness caused by hypothermia invades everyone, and some people fall asleep and never wake up again.

Now, the problem is on the 34th side.

Due to institutional reasons, there is obviously a difference between people who are rich enough to burn a stove in their room and people who are poor enough to huddle together to keep warm.This is especially true for those who came later. They just moved in and didn't have time to search for things, so they ended up living on the few supplies they brought over.

Some people have run out of stuff.

Even though Cao Xiong released a little bit of food reserves to ensure that they would not starve to death, no amount of welfare was even considered. As the first person who froze to death in his sleep appeared, panic began to spread.

Someone immediately thought of it, this place is not as rigid as the opposite system, even if it is stolen and robbed, it is their own ability.

Among these people, Lu Ning and the others, who seemed relatively weak, became the targets again, and they directly blocked in the corridor to sneak attack.

Unfortunately, Lu Ning just came back from training with Yun Zhiyao in the practice field.

Later, these people quietly went to No. 33 to work as laborers. At least they haven't heard of anyone freezing to death yet.

==============
The heavy snow arrived as expected, first as small ice particles, and soon turned into large snowflakes.Accompanied by the falling snow, there was also a strong wind, and the dark clouds led the strong wind like howling ghosts to impact on the wall, passing through the small gaps, and making a sound like crying wind.

The fiery enthusiasm in the No. 33 shelter was quickly cooled. No matter how many rewards were offered, people did not dare to go outside the shelter.The temperature has reached minus 35 degrees. Although the terrible low temperature is still within the tolerance range of human beings, it is enough to freeze a finger or two.

Lu Ning opened a can that had just been baked on the stove. Inside was porridge made with pineapple and dates. The strong sweet aroma filled the room, and it also made her nervous nerves relax a little bit.

Pang Heng sat on a mat in a corner of the room, clenched his fingers for a while and loosened them for a while, obviously feeling the restlessness in his heart.In contrast, Xuan Zitong was much calmer, her backpack was almost empty, and she didn't know where the explosives were placed.These days Lu Ning was too busy exercising and didn't pay special attention, so it's fine if he can't blow himself up.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

There was a knock on the door.Pang Heng stretched out his hand and opened the door, and Lu Wenshuo was standing outside the door, smiling as usual, everything was fine except that the swelling on his face that was beaten by Yun Zhiyao a few days ago had not subsided.

"Have you finished your preparations?"

"Almost, but hunting, I still don't know what to do, so I came to see how you are doing."

Lu Wenshuo walked into the room, took out a can of eight-treasure porridge from his pocket and placed it beside the stove, opened the lid and asked, "Which two did you choose?"

"The Beetle and the Gorilla."

This answer surprised Lu Wenshuo a little.

"I thought you'd pick the one that seemed easier to handle."

"You also said that it looks like, so it's better to choose from the compatibility. What about you? There is no conflict, right?"

"No, we have also selected a target that is suitable for us to hunt - it's just that things may not go very well."

"what?"

"Accidents always exist, or news that we can't grasp at all will become fatal mistakes."

Lu Wenshuo glanced at Pang Heng with a smile, took a sip from the slightly warm jar, and then raised it up to pay respects to Lu Ning.

"Good luck."

"You too."

The morning of the No. 15 day came like this.

A young man came out of the refuge, carrying a bucket of household garbage, about to throw it somewhere outside, but was caught by the black "tide" that suddenly appeared in the distance.He squinted his eyes and observed carefully for a moment, then suddenly realized what it was, immediately threw the bucket, turned around and ran into the shelter.

Then, his head stayed where it was.

The twelve guards on duty in shelters No. 33 and No. 34 who stayed at the monitoring post on the ground were all beheaded overnight, and they didn't even put up much resistance.Because they didn't even issue an early warning, neither side noticed the existence of the ghost in the first place, and the eight people who went out in the early morning all died inexplicably until someone saw the corpse.

The sirens were six hours late.

In the eastern sky, dark clouds of moths appeared.

It was completely different from the scale of twenty or thirty moths I saw outside. It was an army of thousands of moths, covering the sky like a swarm of locusts.As the vanguard, they rushed towards the refuge at the fastest speed, and looked like a huge black cloth under the hood from a distance.

At this time, the people in the shelter had already begun to take their positions.The heavy machine guns swept out a storm of metal and fire in the sky, and several flamethrowers formed a close-range culling formation, burning the moths that could approach through the bullets to death on the ground.

At the same time, the ground guards began to clear the shelter of ghosts.Mo Lianren and Tuliba led a team of troops respectively, with smoke pipes stuck behind their backs, and began to smoke in the refuge, and the other side did the same.Although the fighting power of the ghost shadows was not low, they were also picked up and killed one by one under the people's desperate search, only a few more corpses were produced.

Soon, the outside was filled with the smell of burning.A large number of moth corpses fell inside and outside the refuge, and the flames were still burning, incinerating these corpses into a scorched black color, but in people's eyes, this is the best view.

After the last moth was knocked down, the machine gun crews were finally free to celebrate. There is no doubt that they were the heroes of the first battle. Most of the moths fell under the rain of bullets.

At this moment, a biting cold wind blew by, and with the wind, the ground began to tremble slightly.

"Prepare for battle! The first line of defense is stationed! Shock elephant attack!"

Lin Qi's voice was heard from the radio speaker, and a group of tightly-covered people rushed out of shelter 33. They didn't carry any weapons, and they rushed to the distance quickly in order to run faster. The first line of defense 400 meters away from Sanctuary [-].

At this time, about a hundred giant impact elephants have completely started running. They stomped on the ground and rumbled. Group charge!

"Three hundred! Two hundred! One hundred—pull up!"

A man yelled a loud roar from the battlefield, and then dozens of columns nearly one meter high suddenly stood up from the snow!
The length of the impact elephant is about seven or eight meters. As for the height, the height of this column is just enough to reach their knees.

Click!

As the body of an impacting elephant sank suddenly, the rhythm of the group's charge suddenly became chaotic.And when they passed through those columns, their bodies stagnated visibly with the naked eye, they slowed down instantly and were hit by those behind them, and dropped their two front hooves in an instant!

"Pits and tripping ropes, good things that have been tried and tested against cavalry."

Lu Ning took a look through the binoculars, then thanked the uncle next to him and returned the binoculars to him.Now no one cares whether the weather is cold or not, they all ran outside and started to prepare for battle.

"Afraid?"

Check the firearms and hang the grenade.Now that the shelter has released a large amount of weapons and ammunition, Lu Ning and Xuan Zitong both took the opportunity to replenish their own things, and Lu Ning also brought several special attack bombs made before.

"Scared." Xuan Zitong replied honestly.

No matter how much horror you've been through, there's something scary about knowing you might die in battle.

"Can you walk?"

"Ah."

Lu Ning picked up the kettle and drank the remaining hot water in it, then rushed out of the shelter's walled area.

It is of course impossible to put the monsters close to the refuge to fight. No matter which side it is, it is clear that the monsters must be intercepted in the wasteland. After the first batch of moth air strikes are stopped, people must be sent to intercept them.

For this reason, the refuge has also specially equipped radios and portable field combat suits for those who want to go out to intercept them. Obviously, it will not take more than a day to go out and do such a dozen.

For the "crows", it is natural to go out to complete this hunt.
