Desperate Night

"Here comes a big guy!" Someone familiarly patted Yu Hong's arm. "Brother, you are blessed, your body type 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 see that this guy is quite frivolous.

"I have to say that you are very lucky to be able to go all the way to Aurora City." The other person's voice was much more steady, and he also had a sparse black beard on his chin.

"Come in, the city is currently undergoing large-scale construction, and there are no idle people. Let me introduce it to you. You can think about what kind of job you can find. This place has concentrated all the highest technology in the entire East River, and it has also recovered from the collapsed Silver Tower. A lot of technology has been rescued here that is beyond ordinary people’s imagination, so you don’t have to worry about food. What you need to consider is what kind of job you can find to survive here. After all, food and accommodation are not free.”

"Yeah!" Yu Hong nodded.

His calm performance surprised both of them.

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

Yu Hong is not alone.

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

Below the escalator is an extremely large circular area.

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

Residential buildings and office buildings with more than ten floors are crowded together, like chopsticks pinched into pieces, slender and straight.

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

Thick and dense crowds of people flow back and forth in the green belts between these buildings.

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

"Then, which department is Minister Xin Zhilei 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. The mortality rate is very high, but the benefits are also the highest." The bearded man said in surprise.

"I'll just ask." Yu Hong showed an awkward smile. He seemed to be cowering in fear.

"Haha. After you enter the city, you can get a temporary residence, but it only has ten square meters of space, which is very small. If you want to live and live well, you have to work and contribute."

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

"Brother Lin, I believe that with your physical strength, you will become famous sooner or later. Come on!"

Half an hour later, Yu Hong led the two of them to a residential building. After giving some final instructions, they left on their own.

Yu Hong looked at their departing figures, and then looked at the hurried flow of people coming and going around him.

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

The noisy sounds of people and cars poured into his ears. This familiar sound gave him an extremely unreal feeling.

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

Except for the fact that people around here mostly wear gray and black clothes, with very few colors, the rest of the society seems to be the same as before.

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

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

"Hello."

Suddenly, a cautious female voice came from the side.

Yu Hong turned around and looked.

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

"Hello, are you a survivor who just came in from the outside?" The girl looked a little tired in her twenties, her eyes were slightly dark, but her chest was quite plump and protruding, which was inconsistent with her slim figure. .

"Yes. I am." Yu Hongzhengchou came in and was confused. He didn't know where to start. The other party's conversation gave him a breakthrough to turn on the switch here.

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

Yu Hong took it and saw that in addition to his name, there was also a line of phone numbers.

Another corner of Second Aurora City.

In a dense building dozens of miles away from Yu Hong.

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

No one said anything.

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

A coalition officer wearing glasses said in a low voice.

"When the time comes, I will be taken away by the superior department for investigation. You need to consider what to do next, whether to directly expose Xin Zhilei or"

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

"Xin Zhilei found a temporary solution to the water source, and now no one will believe our words."

"Indeed. I just went outside to inquire. There has been a wanted order posted outside saying that you have been infected by the black disaster and even have abnormalities. Now as long as 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, they can't search outside, so they will sooner or later suspect the city."

"The biggest advantage of the city is that there are many people. As long as the shielding device is there, we can blend into the crowd and it is not easy to be arrested." Xue Ningning said, "The key now is that we must obtain evidence to prove that Xin Zhilei has a problem. And find out why she sent people to attack us!"

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

His eyes were red. He was attacked before and nearly half of the team was killed in one breath.

Finally, it was another deputy commander who sacrificed himself to lead away the pursuers, and they found a chance to escape.

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

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

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

She described the origin of the USB flash drive in detail and stuttered, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

There are a total of 16 people here, all of whom are directly under the Investigation Department, but now the director of the Investigation Department, their superior's superior, actually said that they were contaminated by the black disaster.

In addition to the commander and others who suddenly attacked them at the outpost.

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

That's why there was an action similar to silencing halfway.

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

So someone immediately got up to borrow a computer.

Although they were declared black disaster polluted, they could still cover their faces, collect the silver dollars on their bodies, and ask others to help buy a laptop.

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 secrets could cause them to encounter so many dangers and attacks along the way.

Swish.

On the screen, the USB drive space was opened, and a row of twelve separate text files were swiped out.

All files were named No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3.

Da Da.

Xue Ningning clicked on file No. 1.

Click.

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

The small ten-square-meter room actually had its own bathroom.

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

In the room, there were beds, cabinets, desks, two chairs, and a desk lamp.

That was all.

Knock, knock, knock.

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

He turned around and saw a team of United Army soldiers wearing full body armor and holding short-handled submachine guns. They walked to the door and knocked on it.

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

"I am. May I ask if you can help me?" Yu Hong 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 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, I would like to ask, is Mr. Lin an enhanced person?" the leader asked.

"No." Yu Hong shook his head. He did not have any characteristics of an enhanced person, which could be found out with a simple check. When he did not use his internal energy, he would not release negative radiation like an enhanced person.

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

"Yes, a little." Yu Hong nodded.

"Let's go, and talk as we go." The other party seemed to be more relaxed when he heard that he was not an enhanced person.

Yu Hong followed them to the military vehicle downstairs.

Inside the car.

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

"To be honest, the most undesirable thing for ordinary soldiers like us is enhanced people."

"Why do you say that?" Yu Hong was surprised. He was unfamiliar and new to this city, the Aurora City, which was known as the last stronghold of mankind.

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

"But enhanced people should be the main force for 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 conflicted. After all, if we don't use firearms, we are really vulnerable in front of them." The captain sighed.

"It's understandable." Yu Hong nodded.

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

"Fortunately, I was mainly lucky." Yu Hong said sincerely.
