The New Year's party lasted until three o'clock in the morning, and the tired people returned to the bed one after another, and fell asleep with happy smiles.

After living in the wasteland for so many years, it was the first time they had ever been so happy.

The bonfire has been extinguished, and the square is filled with the smell of barbecue.

With the help of the participants, the staff of the logistics department took back the cooking utensils to the canteen, and at the same time, the unused ingredients were also transported back to the warehouse for storage, and the ingredients consumed tonight were counted.

As the initiator of this New Year's party, Jiang Chen regretted that he could not participate in this celebration.

Although after ending the conversation with Cheng Weiguo, he went straight back to the villa.

At this time, there are still more than three hours before the curtain call of the party.

When he returned to the villa, Yao Yao did not sleep.

This cute and well-behaved little girl was sitting in front of the window, holding her chin and thinking about her thoughts while keeping the New Year alone.

Chinese New Year's Eve is celebrated, and few people will remember this tradition.

Reuniting with loved ones can only be described as a luxury in this wasteland.

Everything was sudden, whether it was the halo of a nuclear explosion or the orbital airborne troops falling from the sky. People were still working and schools were still open. However, the "Holy Shield" system has only ten minutes for people to prepare.

Rush to the nearest shelter, burrow into makeshift nuclear bunkers, or be wiped out of existence by the sweeping shockwave.

The dormant chamber is like a wormhole.

For those who are hiding inside, the hatch falls and opens almost at the same moment. Outside the hatch, however, twenty years have passed.

A touch of crystal slid from the corner of her eye, and her soft little finger moved slightly, but a warm big hand took the first step to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Homesick?"

"Hmm. ”

Yao Yao hit Jiang Chen's chest headbutt. Buried his little head in his shoulder and whimpered softly.

"I, I'm strong. The voice was stained with a hint of suppressed crying, but Jiang Chen could still hear the delicate strength.

"Well, Yao Yao is very strong. ”

"I, I didn't cry. ”

"Hmm"

Patting the delicate back. Jiang Chen set his eyes on the clock on the wall.

The hour hand happened to cross 12 o'clock.

At what seemed to be the same time, the sound of breathing from his shoulders gradually became even.

He was by Yao Yao's side all night.

Didn't do anything though

The freight elevator descends slowly, leading to a shelter located beneath the surface.

About twenty soldiers in the uniforms of the PAC security forces stood on it, all of them looking lonely and embarrassed.

Many of them had gunshot wounds on their bodies, and their body armor was inlaid with cobweb-like bullet marks, which was enough to show the fierceness of the battle just now.

Thankfully, however, there has been no attrition.

Shi Yongtian shrank in the corner of the elevator, his eyes a little wandering. As if he had been stimulated by some kind of stupor, the whole person was like losing his soul.

At this moment, Captain Tian Feng, who was the leader of this team, was staring at the blood-stained lead pipe in his hand, the core of nuclear fusion.

As for the origin of this thing, it has to start from three hours ago.

After being rejected by Jiang Chen, Tian Feng did not give up, but made the decision to try his luck elsewhere.

The snow on the surface is heavy and cold. Freezes the only remaining bodily fluids in the shriveled bodies of zombies. I have to say they were really lucky, if it weren't for this snow. The rampaging zombies alone could tear them all to shreds.

Zombies at night, even dead claws, will be afraid of three points.

Factories, shops, hospitals.

With a team of 20 people and an official in charge of "calming the emotions of the victims," Tian Feng searched almost all nearby places where the core of nuclear fusion might appear.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find it.

Over the course of nearly twenty years, the survivors have scavenged everything they can use, including the nuclear fusion core that can be used in generators. Before using more accessible subcrystals as an energy alternative. The core of nuclear fusion is basically used by the survivors as the main energy substance.

But in the end, Tian Feng still got the thing.

Next to a half-collapsed building, he spotted a flash of fire. About twenty or thirty survivors, wrapped in winter suits and skins of unknown animals, sat around the campfire, carrying rudimentary rifles on their backs, cutting and roasting meat from unknown creatures.

In terms of firepower. This group was obviously much weaker than the survivors just now.

Out of prudence, Tian Feng did not rush to the past, but took out the megaphone and shouted.

It was this prudence that saved their lives.

The shouting didn't last a minute before the bullets poured down from the opposite side. Many PAC fighters didn't understand the situation, and they were dizzy for a while, so they had to find cover on the spot to hide.

They don't understand why the "victims" are firing at them, and they don't know if they should fight back.

At the moment, in their minds, they are still soldiers of this "country", and those people are nothing more than "disaster victims" who have lost their minds.

Fortunately, Tian Feng, as the captain, reacted quickly. Discerning the situation, he immediately gave instructions to fire back at the "mob" and fired the first shot.

The group of survivors was not as backward as it seemed, and two light machine guns were set up out of the window as soon as the exchange of fire began.

Although the establishment belongs to the security forces, and all the people present have never been on the battlefield, after all, they have received professional training, whether it is combat awareness or marksmanship, Tian Feng and others are far above this group of "mobs".

The squad shooters calmly cleared the firing points, and the riflemen crouched behind the concrete bunkers and fired back fire alternately. Although it is inferior in firepower, it completely explodes this rabble in terms of effective killing.

The mob of the armed assault force was killed one after another, and Tian Feng led his men to advance in an orderly manner, trying to force them to surrender.

Surprisingly, however, the gang did not show any intention of surrendering until the last man in the fight.

led his subordinates to attack the den of this mob, but Tian Feng saw a disgusting scene.

Blood, pieces of flesh.

It's not the remains of any animal, no, people are animals in the strict sense of the word.

These are not mobs at all, they are simply a bunch of devils! a bunch of devils who are casually chewing on human flesh!

"It's insane. ”

After seeing that shocking scene, Shi Yongtian twitched the corners of his mouth and repeated this line.

Tian Feng didn't speak, but from the wavering in his resolute eyes, it was not difficult to see the impact in his heart.

No one vomited.

The shelter was short of supplies, and they drank a mixture of nutrients before going out, leaving their stomachs with nothing to vomit.

If you're a lone traveler who has seen the world, or a merchant passing through, you'll probably just casually say, "Oh, it's a cannibal," and start looting for loot.

Looking at the same kind of person who had his limbs cut off and could not die because of hemostats, Tian Feng didn't say anything, and silently raised the muzzle of the gun, ending his pain.

Beneath a corpse, he found a bloodstained core of nuclear fusion.

The core of the fusion was glued with a strip of thermite, and it seems that the gang had made it into an improvised nuclear grenade. But apparently before he could use it, the hapless guy got a headshot.

In any case, the nuclear fusion core has been obtained, the mission has been completed, and the energy shortage in the shelter has been alleviated, which should be something to celebrate.

But at this moment, no one showed even a trace of joy.

Staring at the bloodstains on the core of nuclear fusion, Tian Feng was silent for a long time. (To be continued......)
