Chapter 6: The Pillar of Heaven That Is About to Fall
"Don't tell me that I've been here for so long...... I haven't seen it, can you tell me the details, what's going on? ”
I still kept it a secret from what happened to me.
Since it's not big, don't say it, it's better to say less than more.
Tong Jia didn't shy away from it, and told me what happened that day, and when I said that Huo Bing's cry attracted the monster, I subconsciously looked at the woman who looked less than twenty years old.
Or a girl?
Counting the overlap of time, two days ago, wasn't that when I was attacked, no wonder it ran away without eating itself that day.
It turned out that more food was sensed here.
Anyway, it's all considered that someone saved their lives, did they seem a little frivolous about her attitude before?
Thinking of the nearly 4-meter-tall monster, some sweat oozed from my palms, it was a creature that made people feel powerless, and if it was possible, I would never want to meet it again in my life.
"I see, hehe, then you're quite unlucky...... I actually messed with that thing. ”
Following my words, Tong Jia also sighed: "Who said it wasn't, if I knew that ZM City had this thing, I wouldn't have led the team here." ”
After a while, the relationship between us became familiar, and Tong Jia did not have the previous-for-tat, but consciously took a cigarette from my hand and lit it.
The convenience store has been sealed off with iron sheets, and the only entrance is the iron door, which becomes a confined space.
According to Tong Jia, when he brought the survivors to find him, the door was open for some reason, but there were several corpses inside, which were also solved by them.
"Brother Cao, do you think it's better to be alone or a group of people in this wasted era?" Tong Jia took a puff of her cigarette and stared at me with her eyes burning in the candlelight.
I smoked two cigarettes in a row, and I finally had enough of it, so I stuffed the cigarette case in my pocket and said, "Needless to say, of course, a group of people have a better chance of surviving together." ”
"You said before that you were going to the Tianzhu in ZZ City? I'm going to go there to seek refuge. ”
"Yes, it's not written in the log, that pillar is one of the two absolute safes, I think everyone wants to squeeze into it."
"That's right, it's true that everyone wants to go in, but brother, you've been alone in ZM City for a long time, and you don't know what's going on outside."
"Oh? What's the situation? ”
"ZZ City has fallen, the entire urban area except for the heavenly pillar, there are corpses everywhere, and the most dangerous thing is that the energy supply of the pillar is about to run out, the holy light has shrunk from 100 meters to 60 meters, and I am afraid it will be ...... after a while."
Hearing Tong Jia say this, not only me, but also the other three people looked at him in surprise.
"How do you know?"
I looked at him in disbelief, if according to what he said, the water that was surrounded by the pillar of heaven could not be leaked, and the news could not be spread at all.
"I was the leader of the scavenging team, and I was wearing a communication device, and just a few days ago, I inadvertently received a distress signal from there, and this news came out. I'm afraid it's not just me, but the few people who have communication facilities within an unknown number of kilometers around ZZ City should have received it. ”
"And in order to send this message out, Tianzhu must have consumed a lot of energy supply, because there has been no news since then. There are two possibilities, one is that there is a problem with the people inside, and the other is that the energy supply is not enough to transmit another radio wave that covers too wide a range. ”
"But I personally don't tend to the first possibility, although the absolute safety of the Tianzhu is based on the condition of sufficient energy, but even so, it will not be captured so quickly, the 60-meter white light should not be extinguished in a short time, the Tianzhu has everything in it, and will definitely do everything possible to reduce energy consumption and strive for the speed of white light extinguishing to slow down."
"Until someone is able to ...... Help them. ”
After listening to Tong Jia's words, I felt a little uneasy, lit another cigarette and smoked it, seeing that the half box of cigarettes that I had just picked up was about to see the bottom.
"Host, please note that there are new characteristics in the genetic ecological chain, please check the ...... in time"
Hearing the voice in my head, I paused slightly, and then said, "Heh, I guess it's hanging." In this case, no one will dare to support ZZ City, and if nothing else, that pillar will fall. ”
When several people heard me say this, they surprisingly did not refute it, but remained silent in unison.
In this era, it is difficult to save oneself, who can send a team to save the Heavenly Pillar a hundred kilometers away, this distance alone is insurmountable.
Although the survivor's journal states that activating the ninety-nine pillars will lead to unpredictable changes, this message is just a fart.
The outside of the pillar was indestructible, and even if the white light was extinguished at that time, it would be impossible for these corpses to enter.
But the people inside will all die inside after a long time of consumption and no supplies.
"If you tell me this, it's not just about spreading the word. Let me guess, are you trying to recruit me into your ranks? I exhaled the smoke in my lungs and chuckled.
Tong Jia was happy, "Yes, Brother Cao must be outstanding if he can live alone for more than a year, everyone should report to the group to keep warm in the era of the abolished era, it's a pity to miss your talent." And the pillar of heaven is already gone, so it's better to follow me. ”
Huo Bing's face changed, but she quickly disappeared, but all this did not escape me who was observing her.
I took a deep look at Huo Bing before I said to Tong Jia: "This is not impossible, it just so happens that I don't plan to go to Tianzhu for the time being, and it is a good choice to follow you back to the gathering area." ”
"Brother Cao, I have one more question, what's going on outside just now?"
Tong Jia's teammates also shouted at me Brother Cao, which was also a question in everyone's hearts.
I took the Tang knife beside me and wiped it on the bandage on my arm, wiping the blood stains on it.
"It's nothing, it's just that I slaughtered dozens of low-level corpses, I found out that there was a convenience store here, and this time I came here to find some supplies, and you all know the rest of the matter."
The team member gave a thumbs up, and his face revealed a sense of horror: "Cow, indeed Niu, Brother Cao, you can overturn the corpses that have blocked us for so long with a knife, I really can't think of any other words except for being violent!" ”
Another team member also said: "Yes, Brother Cao, if you go to a large gathering area like our lonely land, at least you can mix an important position, and the welfare is quite good!" ”
I didn't say anything about it, important duty? To be honest, I'm not interested in that.
Listening to the tone of these people, it seems that the scale of the [Lonely Gathering Area] has to be thousands of people, otherwise it can't be called large.
I raised the corners of my mouth and found something particularly interesting, Huo Bing's eyes were full of anticipation when he looked at me, while Tong Jia was as plain as water, and his face was calm and he didn't say anything.
What is Huo Bing expecting? What is Tong Jia thinking?
"I want to know how you got to ZM City with this distance of fifty kilometers?"
