Desperate Night

"That's all."

In the lobby of the stone fortress.

A black masked man holding a cane walked slowly out of the shadows and looked at the surveillance projection on the wall.

The projection seemed to be delayed, the picture kept flickering and blurry, and it was obviously disturbed.

The screen also froze at the scene a minute ago, the sheep man rushed towards Yiyi, and everyone fell to the ground, covered in blood, and the overall situation was determined.

"Let's go, it's time to execute the next step."

President Yongsheng walked forward, and behind him, three mysterious people wearing black robes and black metal masks also walked out slowly.

"The fourth line of defense, it's not bad to be able to get to this step, but that's it." One of the short and fat old women said with a smile.

"There's no problem here, let's take a look at the investigation team over at the Free Alliance." Another burly man said in a deep voice.

"The situation in Donghe has been determined. As long as Flicka and the Free Alliance confirm the situation, it will be time for us to officially build a new city. The rise of the Night Pool has gathered most of the sacrifices and has begun to accelerate. It will probably take more than an hour." President Yongsheng explained.

He stretched out his hand and pointed.

The projection flickered and turned into another underground passage.

The leader of Flicka's investigation team was a strong woman with blond hair and blue eyes. At this time, the woman had been pierced through the chest by the sheep man and nailed to the wall, unable to struggle.

The rest of the team members fell to one side in a mess, and had long since died.

"Look at the Free Alliance."

The president smiled. Continue to switch the screen.

Suddenly the screen flashed again.

In the same underground passage, a slender figure with short red hair was pulling out a scimitar with one hand. The person pierced by the scimitar was the Black Disaster Fusion Elite sent by the Association, the Black Sheep Man.

It seems that the surveillance camera has been discovered.

The red-haired woman raised her head and showed a determined and bloody expression towards the surveillance camera.

"How is it possible!? Just a multi-enhanced person!? How did she kill the Black Sheep Man!?"

The members of the association paused, stunned by the scene on the screen.

"Interesting." The president laughed instead. "Isn't this even more interesting?" He seemed to be thinking of something funny, looking up and laughing even more happily.

"Could it be that Mesha's people are...!?" Suddenly, the other five people focused their eyes on a black-robed man who had not spoken in the corner.

"It's just a little trouble. The president must think that this can add a little fun, am I right? President?"

The black-robed man lowered his head and spoke, his voice was calm and somewhat unusually calm.

"Indeed. After all, everything is moving forward according to the process I expected." The president lowered his head, walked down the steps step by step, and took the lead to walk out of the lobby and walk towards a dark underground passage.

Aurora City.

Chen Yaofeng knocked on the door gently and stood in a dark red corridor.

The surroundings were unusually quiet. The ground was covered with thick black carpet, and there was no sound when walking.

The guards with guns stood upright evenly on both sides of the corridor. They were wearing full black reinforced suits and heavy breathing valve helmets. Their faces could not see their expressions clearly, giving people a cold and solemn iron-blooded sense of oppression.

"Come in." The voice of father Chen Xiguang came from inside.

Chen Yaofeng pushed open the door. It was empty inside. Chen Xiguang, with white hair, was sitting in a wheelchair by the window, looking sideways at the simulated sunlight outside the window.

"Something happened to the investigation team." Chen Yaofeng said in a low voice.

Silence.

Chen Xiguang did not reply, and did not even look back.

He still looked at the scenery outside, at the buildings bathed in simulated sunlight.

Tens of seconds later.

He looked back and looked at his son.

"I just talked to other Aurora City committee members."

"All of them?" Chen Yaofeng was stunned and reacted quickly.

"Yes." Chen Xiguang nodded.

He stood up slowly, holding the armrest of the chair, and slowly straightened his back.

"In fact, from the beginning, our investigation team was just a smokescreen to cover the entry of the real investigation team."

"I noticed it." Chen Yaofeng was silent for a while and nodded.

"Yes, although it was just a smokescreen, we still tried our best to prepare for every step. Although, we all know that it is impossible to deal with the mysterious Eternal Life Association with just those." Chen Xiguang continued. "But we still did it."

"There are too many spies in the Eternal Life Association, I can understand the reason for doing this." Chen Yaofeng said.

"It is precisely because of this that the real investigation department does not belong to any Aurora City. Instead, it is entered quietly by an external team alone." Chen Xiguang explained.

"What about our people?" Chen Yaofeng asked in a low voice. "Not well prepared, and even unaware, they rashly confronted the Eternal Life Association." He clenched his fists little by little, and his voice gradually became louder.

"We will try our best to save them and save their lives." Chen Xiguang said seriously.

"They are the elite! They are the elite among the enhanced people we carefully selected!" Chen Yaofeng said. "Even if they have to make sacrifices, they should at least have the right to know and the right to choose!!"

"If you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive yourself. What's more, it is a force like the Eternal Life Association with many spies." Chen Xiguang said calmly.

He looked at his son.

"From a father's perspective, I can understand you. From an individual's perspective, I can also understand that this action is unfair to individuals. But"

He paused.

"We have no choice but to respect the individual and lose the overall situation. Or we can choose to sacrifice a few people and take the overall situation into consideration. If it were you, how would you choose?"    "Me!" Chen Yaofeng clenched his fists. He had felt this feeling once before. That time, his best friend was gone.

And this time.

Snap.

Chen Xiguang reached out and gently placed his hand on his son's shoulder.

"It's okay. All the decisions were made by me. It's okay."

His voice was filled with deep fatigue.

The cold wind howled in the dark night.

Heavy snow covered everything.

Yu Hong's figure was like a white line, running fast forward on the snow.

The snowflakes around him turned into tilted knife rain. The speed was too fast, and the force of the snowflakes hitting his body when they fell was enough to cause bloody wounds on ordinary people.

At this time, the snowflakes really looked like knives.

Behind him.

Blue light mists escaped from his back, reacting with the surrounding black mist and canceling each other out.

Light and darkness, like natural enemies.

At this moment, the endless positive source of divine light in Yu Hong's body was frantically trying to surge out of the body surface, supporting the erosion of the surrounding black fog.

This kind of oppositional offset even affected Yu Hong's original absorption of red value into internal energy.

The red value radiation just came to his side, and before he had time to absorb it, it was offset by the blue light.

'The influence of Zeus' light has gradually begun' He looked back in the direction of the camp.

There was already a faint blue light illuminating a small piece of sky.

In contrast to the dark fog everywhere, this small illuminated area was particularly dazzling.

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do this, but as long as there was a black mark, he believed that his growth would definitely control the development of the situation.

Looking back, he continued to check the direction of the mark and accelerated towards Yiyi.

And behind him.

In the distance, in the ultimate gate in the camp, a line of blue figures were lining up and walking out of the crack of the door one after another.

They were blue-robed human figures with illusory and translucent bodies.

They wore hoods, lowered their heads, and crossed their hands in their wide sleeves.

There was no distinction between men and women. From their hooded faces, one could see that there was nothing in the blue robes.

There was only a faint blue light flowing.

Bang!

Bang!

Suddenly, the door was knocked open again.

A floating crystal mass flew out from it.

This thing looked like a mineral piled up with countless blue crystals. Through the crystal, one could see a pale round eyeball in the center, constantly looking around.

At the moment this thing appeared.

The black fog within a radius of 100 meters around it suddenly faded.

All the black disasters below level 7 felt an inexplicable sense of oppression at the same time.

This means that high-level individuals with a power concentration of level 8 or even above have officially entered this world.

In the underground tunnel.

The elite of the Free Alliance Investigation Department are moving quickly in the passage.

The red-haired woman in the lead, the short knife in her hand was like a butterfly's wings, constantly fluttering, and with her high-speed movement, she killed almost all the opponents she met with one knife.

In the passage, groups of twisted humanoid black disasters with black smoke all over their bodies, like rats, rushed to attack any approaching individuals.

"Be careful, Leia, your strength, physique and speed have been strengthened to the limit, but your resistance to toxins is still a little lacking. The Eternal Life Association is likely to make trouble for this."

A vague black shadow behind the woman reminded in a low voice.

"You should say that except for this item, everything else has been strengthened to the limit." The woman put away the knife, landed, and shook off the black ash on her sleeves.

"How is the arrangement?" She waited for the team members behind her to catch up and asked in a low voice.

"It's all here." The black shadow behind her stopped beside her and answered.

Under the bright white light, the appearance of this person was reflected.

It was an ugly, thin, tall man with a completely burned face. He wore a black hat and was dressed in black, but his eyes were as bright as stars, as if glowing.

"Now that we are here, I will ask you one more question." The disfigured man said. "Do you really want to continue?"

"This is my fate." The woman Lei Ya said calmly, "Even if I don't go to find them, they are destined to come to me. I can't escape or avoid them."

"Fortunately, I found you." The man said.

"Yes. Without you, perhaps I would be like Lin Yiyi now, powerless, and everything is manipulated by others without knowing it." Lei Ya sighed.

"You are indeed unique, Lei Ya. From the first moment I found you, I came to this conclusion. In a sense, I am lucky, and you are also lucky to have met each other." The man also sighed.

"So, as long as the Night Pool is solved, the further deterioration of the black disaster can be interrupted, and then the original source, the Black Well, can be solved. The root of the black disaster can be cut off, right?" Lei Ya asked.

"Yes, the Pool of Night has been hidden and cannot be touched. Only when it descends, can it be truly destroyed if it can be truly touched. This is our only chance."

"This is also what he hopes for. So in the end, it depends on whose fist is harder." Leia continued to walk deeper into the tunnel.

Soon, a dark metal door appeared in front of her.

The door was extremely heavy, with a ferocious goat head carved in the middle of the surface.
