Desperate Night

In the darkness.

Yu Hong stood quietly in front of a gray-black wreckage, without saying a word.

There were still many fresh blood stains on the wreckage, and it was obvious that there was someone here just now.

"Are you avoiding me?" He said in a low voice.

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

Turning around, he 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 how badly the other party is injured.

Huh.

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

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

But even so, she won't live long.

'Really, I'm not willing to accept it.' She lowered her head and looked at the bloody mess on her stomach.

On the ground beside her, her son was still unconscious, lying on the ground motionless. The extremely cold temperature made his hands, feet and face begin to stiffen 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 the back and said in surprise.

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

"Can his illness heal itself?" The burly masked man was surprised.

"When the time comes, you will know." Xin Zhilei half-lying at the foot of the tree, breathing more and more difficult.

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

"Unfortunately, you are only one step away. Even if he survives, he will only become a black disaster and will never remember you again." The burly masked man sighed.

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

Her hand finally stayed on the lid, slower and slower, until it never moved again.

Blood flowed out of the big hole in her stomach and froze into red ice not far away.

The next day.

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

There was nothing around her, and all the items on her body were searched away. Apparently someone found her first.

The joint army took 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 black disaster pollution in the water source was slowly receding.

According to the confessions of the Echo Force members who were captured later, the black disaster dissolved leeches were suspected to be baited by Xin Zhilei's people, attracting a large number of them to gather under the Aurora City.

It is impossible to reach this density by simple natural gathering.

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 disturbed by the water problem.

"Are you going to leave now?" Chen Yaofeng said in surprise.

In a square in the city, many people burned paper money in the corner to send blessings to their dead relatives at home.

Piles of flames were like dancing red ribbons, bright and cold.

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

"It's been long enough, and it's time to go back. There are still things to deal with in the camp." Yu Hong was still thinking about the physical potion that was being strengthened at home, which was the physical potion he got from Zhang Kaijun in Huicheng.

More than ten days of strengthening, I don't know to what extent it can be strengthened.

"Are you really unwilling to stay? There is enough food and enough social interaction here, and you have been single for so long, don't you feel lonely?" Chen Yaofeng slightly showed his second-generation nature. Only at this time can he feel that he really has a father who is a committee member.

"Just get used to it." Yu Hong smiled. He didn't think there was any other alien who could stand him.

And in these aspects, it's best to let things take their own course.

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

"I'll leave Yiyi to you." 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.

Now that she has a closer relationship with Chen Yaofeng, the other party has also agreed to help Lin Yiyi investigate the disappearance case in Black Tree Village.

In this way, Lin Yiyi's safety will also be taken care of by more people.

Yu Hong should be relieved.

"In addition, we will also try to perform corrective surgery on Yiyi's deformity. We will also try to treat the stuttering problem, 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 Aurora City's scientific research consultant. He visited Lin Yiyi, Xue Ningning and others outside the hospital again, and then quietly left Aurora City.

The supplies that Xin Zhilei had taken away had long been missing, so the Allied Forces compensated him with more other supplies.

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

The camp was peaceful. Without the attraction of people, the ghosts had no interest in this place. In addition, the formation with negative values ​​made the Black Disaster extremely disgusted.

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

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

Woo.

The biting cold wind kept blowing outside the cave.

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

He lifted the quilt and glanced at the detector hanging on the wall.

‘Outdoor temperature: -52 degrees Celsius. ’

‘It’s getting colder and colder’

Yu Hong sighed. If it was the weather before and the density of the Black Disaster, there might be survivors passing through the camp. Then in this environment outside, no one would dare to hang out outside.

Because of the low temperature, hanging out would definitely lead to death.

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

He turned on the communicator.

In a hissing sound.

Chen Yaofeng replaced Xin Zhilei and became the third person he and Zhang Kaijun chatted with.

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

"This is nothing. I am in trouble here. Even if there is a large closed system protection, 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 at home in the past two days."

"Is the enhanced person okay?" Yu Hong asked.

"There is no problem with this. The enhanced person has a strong physique and is not so easy to get sick." Chen Yaofeng replied. "But what I am worried about is that if the temperature continues to drop like this, even the enhanced person will not be able to bear it. Going out at that time will be a huge problem."

"How is the investigation of the Eternal Life Association?" Yu Hong asked.

"No clue, it's too dangerous outside. Our investigation team had to return not long after going out. It's too cold." Chen Yaofeng said.

"Where is the investigation team? Who is taking over now?"

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

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

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

Chen Yaofeng and Yu Hong communicated quickly, and Zhang Kaijun on the side was a little confused.

"In fact, we have noticed something before, but this time we dragged the Eternal Life Association out and put it in the open. Now that the information is public, other places are probably still checking themselves. But it won't be long before everything is settled."

"Then have you done a statistical analysis of the various technologies mastered by the Eternal Life Association?" Yu Hong asked.

"You want to ask about the specific retaliation you may have to face, right?" Chen Yaofeng understood, "The main methods are to lure black disasters, black blood people, super self-healing transformation of the body, and the most critical... longevity."

"It's a bit troublesome, and if the temperature continues to be so low, we must also take all measures." Yu Hong said.

"Flames, heating pipes, closed greenhouses, if it really cools down, it won't be a big problem. The trouble is that it's extremely troublesome to go out after it cools down." Chen Yaofeng sighed, "I just received news from Flicka that they found out how to close the Gate 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 Gate of Despair is closed? Can the black disaster be completely solved?" Yu Hong asked.

"The Gate of Despair is the source of the black disaster. Every country has a blood tide because of the initial black well, and then the Gate of Despair appears, and the red value of the air rises sharply. The high-risk monsters and high-risk evil shadows of the blood tide are poured out from the Gate of Despair." Zhang Kaijun added an explanation.

"That's right, Xiao Zhang is right." Chen Yaofeng affirmed, "We have condensed three Gates of Despair in Donghe, five in Flicka, and basically one or two in other countries. So if the Gate of Despair can be closed, the number of black disasters will not increase and the environment will not deteriorate."

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

"Find the key Black Disaster that was the first to walk out of the Door of Despair, and put it back in." Chen Yaofeng said quickly, "Which historian of Flika used this trick to successfully close a Door of Despair."

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

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

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

In the communicator, the three discussed for a long time, but there was no good solution.

They actually knew that excessive low temperature would bring a fatal threat to ordinary people, marginalized people and the bottom people. If this continues, the already sparse population will become smaller and smaller.
