In the dark night, there is no starlight in the sky, and on the quiet snowfield, the whining cold wind has become the only main theme.

The resettlement area surrounded by improvised barbed wire was lined with shacks, a faint glow emanated from an abandoned oil drum, and slightly wet branches crackled and exploded from time to time in the jumping flames.

Several large men in tattered cotton coats looked enviously at the tightly packed buildings that were surrounded by power grids and surrounded by high walls a few hundred meters away, stretched out their hands that were about to freeze and leaned against the flames for a few seconds before retracting and rubbing them desperately.

", it's cold! It would be nice to sign a long-term employment contract with CITIC Heavy Industries. ”

"Don't be delusional! As long as they are evolutionaries who can use power armor, or mechanics who can skillfully operate machinery, they want to enter the stronghold and live in the next life! ”

"How do you know that I don't have a chance, let me tell you, recently I feel that my gene chain is accelerating recombination, and it is likely to evolve!"

"Huh? Are you too? It's weird, I feel like I'm about to evolve lately."

While several people were discussing passionately, the big-character signboard of CITIC Heavy Industries that emerged from the wall flickered a few times and went dark, and the forts on the wall that writhed their bodies from time to time also drooped down one after another.

"Something's wrong?"

The vigilance they had developed from surviving in the buffer zone for a long time made them immediately grab the rifle at their side.

A power outage can be fatal to a stronghold, as it means a drastic reduction in defenses and the inability to adjust to harsh environments. Facilities such as buffer zone sites often have several power backup options, and the vast majority of power outages caused by accidents can be seamlessly connected using backup lines.

A total blackout of the entire stronghold like this now only shows one thing - this stronghold is out of control!

"Would you like to check it out?"

A hairy-faced man checked the rifle in his hand and loaded the bullet with a "click".

"Or not, right? There are so many hoplites and raiders in there that we can't handle it, and we're only going to die."

The other, thinner man shook his head hesitantly

"I'm afraid of an egg! Wealth and danger are sought, maybe we are lucky enough to save some important people? Then you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life! Even if it is not good, it is better to take advantage of the fact that there is no one to take care of it now, and it is better to casually pour out some in-demand materials than for us to hunt outside. ”

Several other people were moved by what the hairy-faced man said, and they all looked left and right and asked what others meant.

"! People die in the sky, immortal for thousands of years, and it is not every day that there is such an opportunity, do it! ”

Another man stood up, covering most of his face with a scarf, and strode forward with a steel gun in hand

The remaining few men no longer hesitated to follow, leaving only the thin man who objected.

A moment later, a fierce burst of gunfire rang out in the wilderness, and the cold wind was mixed with faint screams. The thin man who stayed behind trembled in his heart, hugged the rifle tightly in his arms and turned on the light, the snow-white pillar of light brushed away the darkness in front of him, and brought the thin man some peace of mind.

"Who?"

Hearing a strange sound on his right, the thin man quickly swept the muzzle of the gun

"Da Da Da"

After three rounds of fire, the thin man saw that the abnormal noise was made by the wire gate that was blown back and forth by the wind

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and relaxed my tense body a little

"What kind of plane? It's so late and you're still crazy! Don't let people sleep? ”

There were loud and disgruntled protests in the shacks in the resettlement area

"It's okay, the gun just went off"

"Stupid x who doesn't know how to go under insurance, one day he will be shot by a gun that goes off the rails......"

The voice in the shack muttered a few words in a vague voice, and slowly fell silent.

The thin man was about to sit back down next to the oil drum when he suddenly froze

Wrong! The wire door is full of holes, and the cold wind that is not very good at night cannot blow it on both sides! Something just broke in!

The thin man immediately turned to the opposite direction of the gate and met a blood-red eye, and the beam of light from the tactical flashlight on the rifle reflected off its body, and he had to close his eyes

"Dada......"

The thin man ran out of the ammunition in his hand in one go, and the bullets that were fired splashed dozens of sparks on the opponent's silver-white body, making a tinkling and clattering sound.

The mandrill-like uninvited guest stretched out his claws and swiped them, easily splitting the thin man into several pieces, and the blood that burst out stained the surrounding area red.

"Grandson, you have to get up and teach you a lesson, right?"

A burly man scolded so badly that he walked out of his shack with a flashlight, swept it over with a pillar of light, and said angrily:

"Bunny, I see you're a ......"

But it was jammed by the bloody scene, and where was the mouth full of stubble

After a few breaths, the burly man who came back to his senses smashed the flashlight on the mandrill, and ran wildly towards his shack with a rolling belt, only hating his father and mother for giving birth to two legs for himself.

Damn, how do these guys keep vigil? The xenomorphs have touched it and there is no news? Damn it! Why didn't you bring the weapon out of the way?

"Xenomorph! Xenos have come in! Wake up, everyone, the camp is coming in with xenomorphs! ”

The white shadow flashed, and the jumping mandrill "tom" stepped the whole man into the soil. The mandrill, which looked not much larger than a person, was unusually heavy, and the burly man was trampled by its kick and bones, and blood and flesh were splashed everywhere.

"What? Into the xenomorph? ”

"Hurry, hurry...... Where's my gun? ”

"Xenomorphs? How many? ”

"Dada...... Dadada......"

……

The whole camp was woken up by the burly man's alarm, and for a while it was very noisy, filled with all kinds of sounds.

Some sneaked out quietly and launched a means of transportation to escape; There are those who rummage around the house looking for weapons; There are those who open the hidden secret passages in their homes and hide; There are also those who climb directly to the firing point and shoot directly, causing a mess.

And the silver-white mandrill kept wandering and flickering in the camp, and after each brief pause, blood and flesh flew everywhere, or the house collapsed, or screamed miserably.

"Ah......h

"Well, in the corner! Shoot! Ah......h

"Boom~"

"Save ...... Rescue ...... I ......"

"Brute! I'll fight with you! Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da ...... Rumble! ”

……

The human voice grew weaker and weaker in the fierce battle, and finally there was no more sound.

After the mandrill ravaged, the entire resettlement area was hit by a storm. There were broken walls everywhere, and the ground was littered with various weapon parts and stumps, and the blood that flowed in the snow washed out small streams that gathered in the low-lying ground and congealed into black-brown blood clots.

Silence returned to the snowfield, and the howling wind blew and danced the snowflakes, gently covering them piece by piece.

It's snowing......
