Desperate Night

In the darkness.

All around was silent.

Yu Hong moved straight ahead along the winding road, quietly.

The front was extremely dark, with only a layer of white light from his inner energy lingering around him, releasing a small amount of negative radiation to dispel the black bugs that might exist around him.

The training of the Thunder Leg Technique allowed him to maintain 50% of his speed while minimizing the sound of his footsteps.

Although his weight now was much heavier than before.

On the dark road, there was a dragon lizard on each side, following Yu Hong.

With the help of their vision from time to time, Yu Hong could see the direction of the road ahead.

Puff.

Puff.

Puff.

In the sound of inaudible footsteps.

Yu Hong took out the map, opened the baffle of the atomic light flashlight on his shoulder, and revealed a gap.

A faint green light shone on the map.

'I've walked about one-fifth of the way.' Yu Hong estimated in his mind.

On the map, to go from the ground to the New Aurora City, you need to pass through three key nodes.

The three nodes are Nongyuan Town, Xinpeng City, and Yufei City.

On the map, these three points flashed with a faint red light, and the one representing Yu Hong himself was a small green light dot, which was only a few kilometers away from the nearest Nongyuan Town.

The black disaster rift caused the ground route to be far from straight, but winding and winding, and the length was several times longer than the straight line.

But this road is safe.

Crash.

Put away the enhanced map.

Yu Hong tightened the big iron ball chain behind him and continued to move forward.

Slowly.

The snow powder on the road ahead gradually became less, and there were many messy marks of different sizes on the road. These marks poked many dense holes in the snow powder.

Yu Hong squinted and looked forward. The dragon lizard's vision could only see the range of fifteen or sixteen meters in front in the black fog. It was unclear whether there was danger further away.

On the abandoned road, as he continued to move forward, a vertical road sign suddenly appeared on the right side of the roadside.

The appearance is a gray-white metal pole with peeling paint stuck in the ground, with a rectangular road sign on top of it.

It says in black on a white background: Welcome to Nongyuan Town.

There is also a line of small words below: Fruit wholesale to Nongyuan, the largest fruit market in the country welcomes you.

Below that, there is a red arrow pointing forward.

Huh.

Yu Hong exhaled from the breathing valve, followed the direction indicated by the arrow, and continued on his way.

In the black and white dragon lizard's vision, the road ahead was empty and there was nothing.

But as time passed.

Slowly, Yu Hong heard faint and strange sounds coming from the distance on both sides.

The sound seemed to be the sound of the wind, and it seemed to be some kind of rough friction sound.

He looked to the right with the help of the dragon lizard.

Outside the right side of the highway, there were already a number of ordinary gray-white bungalows.

These small bungalows, which are common in rural areas, have a large cement yard in front of them.

Some of the yards have clotheslines hanging, and some have agricultural products drying on the ground.

It looked as if there were still people living here.

Squeak.

Suddenly.

Yu Hong paused.

Through the dragon lizard's vision, he saw a dark figure just open the door of a two-story building on the right, slowly walk from the second-floor balcony, and soon disappear in another shadow.

Swish.

Yu Hong glanced at the detector on his collar, and the red value on it had soared to more than 100,000.

Pursing his lips, he personally experienced what kind of situation the Shucheng caravan had been experiencing before.

Continuously traveling on such a route, even the most normal people will become mentally ill.

Puff.

He continued to move forward, and the dragon lizards on both sides also moved forward quietly.

The three hurried along the road.

Soon, more and more rural buildings and bungalows appeared on the roadside.

Winding forks began to appear on both sides of the road.

The forks were all yellow mud roads, leading to the dark farmland and extending into the depths of the black fog with no end in sight.

In the yards in front of these small buildings and bungalows, black figures stood there silently. They were motionless, facing Yu Hong, with blurred faces, and it was unclear whether they were looking at him or had always been like this.

The values ​​in the detector sometimes soared rapidly, and sometimes suddenly fell back to normal.

Yu Hong did not take the initiative to provoke, but followed the route on the map and hurried forward calmly.

Slowly, the houses on both sides began to become sparse. After more than half an hour, he passed through the farm town and sped away towards the wilderness.

Bang.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound of heavy objects falling on the road in front.

Bang.

One after another.

Yu Hong narrowed his eyes, stopped, and stared at the black fog in front.

Soon, on the right side in front, a huge spider more than one meter tall slowly walked out on the road.

But the eight legs of this spider were not arthropods, but gray-white legs.

In the middle of the human legs, where the back of the spider should be, it turned into a pale white face with closed eyes and a smile.

The skin of a human face is like porcelain, smooth and delicate, with no visible pores.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

This strange spider ignored Yu Hong, but slowly passed by him, and soon disappeared in the black fog behind him.

‘Level 4 Black Disaster, Sleeping Man Spider’ Yu Hong’s mind flashed with the information of this Black Disaster.

He had no intention of alarming it. Facing the Black Disaster, as long as the other party did not take the initiative to attack, he would never make trouble.

Because black disasters can be revived indefinitely, no matter how hard they kill, they can't be killed. Instead of doing this, it is better to save energy to deal with more dangerous high-risk black disasters.

Keep going.

Beep! !

Suddenly, a crisp sound of electric bells came from far to the left.

Then came the faint sounds of children talking and laughing.

Yu Hong paused and looked in that direction.

Black fog rolled over there, and a yellow mud road branched off from the highway and continued into the fog.

Beep beep beep!

This time it was the detector embedded in his collar that sounded the alarm.

On the LCD screen, the values ​​flashed wildly. One moment they were negative, the next they were millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions, and then they suddenly cleared to zero and turned blank.

Snap.

Yu Hong reached out and patted the detector to turn off the alarm.

'broken? ’

He didn't expect the detector to be able to detect all dangers, but he didn't go very far when it happened.

Just then.

On the fork on the left, a group of small figures carrying schoolbags walked briskly towards here.

These figures were all gray and black, blurry, and they could only be barely discerned to be primary school students carrying schoolbags.

They were smiling, their skins were pale, and their bodies were more or less covered with wounds and bloodstains.

These students did not seem to notice Yu Hong, but lined up one after another, crossed the road, and passed in front of him.

One after another.

They jumped off the roadside one after another and disappeared into the black mist.

Until the end.

The last short-haired figure carrying a small schoolbag suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yu Hong.

He stood there, motionless, as if he suddenly changed from activity to sculpture.

Yu Hong hesitated and continued to move forward according to the plan.

‘I am on the crack of black disaster, they will not attack easily and cause conflicts. Therefore, as long as the black disaster does not attack me, I will not move. ’

Step by step, he and Dragon Lizard slowly moved away from the figure of the primary school student, and the other party kept quietly moving his face with him.

It wasn't until the distance was far away that the opponent was completely submerged in the black mist and disappeared, and the detector's random jumping value stopped.

‘Except for Aurora City and a handful of large strongholds, I’m afraid there will be no more living people in this world.’

Yu Hong suddenly felt a little heavy.

He guessed that he might be the only survivor outside the large stronghold.

In silence, he quickened his pace again.

"Run away??!"

Inside a heavy armored vehicle heading to a military airport.

Xin Zhilei stared at the subordinate officers who came to report with a cold face.

"I sent so many men down there, and there were black disasters all around me. Are you telling me that they escaped??!"

"It's not my fault. Your people discovered something was wrong in advance. They resisted before boarding the plane, which then caused the people on the committee to resist." The subordinate officer did not panic at all and answered with a smile.

He raised his head slightly, wearing a smiling black metal mask, unable to see his true appearance.

"Don't think it's just me!" Xin Zhilei said angrily, "Once the list of USB flash drives is exposed, everyone in the association will be unable to avoid it! Do you think you can escape? Aurora City has not collapsed yet."

"Actually, there are still many contradictions in the association. The Mesha family's list is very lethal to some people, but to others... you understand. Therefore, mobilizing the power of the association is not what you think, everyone will cooperate. "The man in the black mask said with a smile.

"What are the conditions!?" Although Xin Zhilei knew that the other party was taking advantage of the situation, she had to suppress her anger to ask the price.

She is not yet fully in control of the overall situation in Second Aurora City. Once exposed, the good situation may be ruined in an instant.

But if she succeeds in destroying the evidence this time, relying on the achievements of the two Mesha family members, and using the power of the association to obtain more water sources, and gaining the support of the main force of the coalition forces here, then her reputation and power in Second Aurora City will be Reach the top.

Until then, not even the committee chief can order her! !

"According to the current situation, searching for these people around the city is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. After all, there are too many black disasters, and many of them are high-risk black disasters and are not tempted by the association's bait." The man in the black mask analyzed.

"So, only by dispatching the association's strongest black-blooded people can they freely come and go near high-risk black disasters and ensure the successful completion of the mission."

"Black-blooded man." Xin Zhilei's complexion changed slightly.

"Yes, this is the only way. Of course, using black blood people requires taking risks. You should understand that although they are named people, they are actually" the black masked man said with a smile.

"If I had been more decisive back then, I would have killed all the Mesha family members. Why would there be so much trouble now!" Xin Zhilei punched the metal table in front of her.

"In addition, I would like to remind you that according to the records of Yingshan Civilization, the basic situation of the Black Disaster has come to an end, and the association has obtained everything it deserves. In the next half year or so, the door of despair belonging to the Cold Disaster will naturally open , I hope you are prepared in advance.”

"Thanks for the reminder!" Xin Zhilei gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. "I will use my part to divide one-fifth of it and hire a black-blooded person to go out!"

"As you wish."

The man in the black mask smiled slightly, stepped back, and suddenly disappeared into the shadows.

The environment inside the armored vehicle also suddenly changed from silence to a large amount of external sounds.

Xin Zhilei, who was left with an ugly face, was sitting alone in her seat with stern eyes.
