Chapter 35: The Beginning of the Crisis
Huang Ying'er
The clothes are half shy, like hibiscus, and timid.
Heavy wet rouge penetration, peach blossom crossing, red leaves royal ditch,
Who will suffer from the romance?
Powder stains flow, dark clouds are half-sucking, and the chaotic lover is collected - Tang Yin.
Chi Hua and Xiao Yu lingered in the hot spring for a long time, and it was already late when they came out of the water curtain cave.
With Yi Fengleng and Ah Bao in the team, the two of them didn't worry about the safety of the team, so they simply stayed in the valley that night and slept on Chi Hua's stone bed together. At night, it is natural to avoid the second spring breeze and the three plum blossoms.
After three o'clock the next day, the two reluctantly left the valley.
The black horse was grazing leisurely in the canyon, and Chi Hua trotted over with a whistle.
Animals have evolved to the second order, and they no longer need to be restrained by the reins like ordinary livestock, and they will no longer be restrained. The relationship between Chi Hua and Wu Hu Ma and Ouyang and Ah Bao is not a simple relationship between the master and the mount, the Wu Hu Ma followed Chi Hua affectionately in order to evolve the crystal nucleus, and the two were more like a cooperative relationship. And the relationship between Ouyang and Ah Bao is more of a friend and family.
Because of the large number of scientific researchers in the team, the team in Phoenix City did not move fast. When Chi Hua and Xiao Yu caught up with the team again the next day, the team was still more than 50 kilometers away from Phoenix.
Many people in the team looked at the two men and women who had not returned overnight with meaningful eyes, and some of them took the initiative to stir up trouble.
As soon as Xiao Yu got off Ma Xiaohan, he smiled and took the initiative to greet him, "Sister Yu, where did my brother-in-law take you to last night?" ”
If Xiao Yu had usually reached out to tear Xiao Han's mouth, not only did he not refute today, but he was so ashamed that he didn't raise his head, Xiao Yu's abnormal performance confirmed the adultery between the two.
Xiao Yu is shy, Chi Hua's face is surprisingly thick, so naturally he won't suffer in words, "Xiaohan, envy your sister's cave room?" Brother-in-law will introduce you to a boyfriend, what do you think of our family Xiaofei? ”
The little fat man, who was watching the excitement on the side, suddenly lit up, and looked at Xiaohan expectantly.
The corners of Xiaohan's mouth twitched, "Who wants to find a little kid to be a boyfriend?" ”
"Who do you say is a little brat? I think you're small, and your breasts and butts are small! Li Xiaofei immediately quit.
Xiao Han didn't pay attention to Li Xiaofei, but leaned in front of Chi Hua, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Hua, why don't you take me as Sister Yu's dowry girl." ”
Before Chi Hua could speak, he felt a chill in his back, and a cold current had begun to brew in the air, so he hurriedly pretended to cough twice, "I'll go ahead and explore the way." As he spoke, he kicked the horse's belly and ran away.
......
By the time everyone saw the tall Phoenix Gate, it was already getting dark.
"Brother Hua, the situation in the city is not right." As soon as he saw the city gate, Ouyang reminded him.
I saw that the gates of Phoenix City were closed, and the walls were full of soldiers of the Guard Division.
Chi Hua and Yi Fengleng glanced at each other, and the two immediately rushed towards the city. At this time, there was no second-order powerhouse in the city, and both of them were worried about changes in the city.
As soon as Chi Hua urged the black horse under his crotch, Yi Fengleng jumped on the flying sword, and the two of them arrived under the city tower in an instant. The strange thing was that there was no panicked look on the soldier's face, and Mo Yingyang was also standing on the city wall.
Seeing that the city lord had returned, the soldiers on the city wall hurriedly went to open the city gate, and Mo Yingyang also followed to greet him.
"Is there anything going on in the city? Why are the gates closed so early? As soon as Chi Hua entered the city, he jumped off his horse.
"Just now, a few mutated beasts suddenly attacked the city, and the alarm sounded in the city." Mo Yingyang replied on the side.
"Is there a big loss in the city?"
"There were two birds among the mutant beasts besieging the city, and we were a little caught off guard, killing one soldier and wounding five or six residents."
Chi Hua nodded, the loss was still within an acceptable range, "What about the few mutant beasts?" ”
"All five of the five that ran on the ground were solved, and none of them ran. One of the flying ones in the sky was shot down by us, and the other one was shot by me but still ran away. Most of the casualties in our city were also caused by those two flying mutant beasts. ”
Chi Hua just ordered the guards to strengthen their vigilance in the future, and didn't say anything more.
In the recent period, there has been a significant increase in the number of mutated beasts around Phoenix, but this is the first time that they have taken the initiative to attack the city. Chi Hua had expected this, and since the day he brought the Source of Evolution to Phoenix, Chi Hua had thought of this consequence.
But compared with the pros and cons, Chi Hua still insisted on doing so, because of the source of evolution, the number of evolutionary awakenings in the city increased significantly, making the combat power of the Phoenix City troops increase day by day. Moreover, with the existence of the external pressure of mutant beasts, the Phoenix City guards did not dare to relax at any time.
Although the ordinary soldiers and evolutionaries in Phoenix City didn't know the reason, they were even happier with the sudden increase in the number of fierce beasts and animals around them, and in their opinion, this was completely the evolutionary crystal nucleus and military merit that were sent to the door on their own initiative.
Compared to the current strength of Phoenix City, Chi Hua has not taken these mutated beasts into account for the time being. The only trouble may be the threat from the mutated beasts in the air, and now only Yi Fengleng's flying sword, Song Yu's spear, and Mo Yingyang's bow and arrow in the city can effectively deal with the threat from the air.
Thinking of this, Chi Hua had already decided to give the second-order crystal nucleus that he had just obtained from the Mastiff King, whether it was the need to sit in Phoenix City on a regular basis, or the need to deal with the increasingly frequent threats from the air, it should make Song Yu a second-order evolutionary.
Chen Yongguang and more than 30 other scientific researchers stayed in Phoenix City for a week before returning to the Yalong base.
Within a week, they fully identified with Chi Hua and his Doomsday Phoenix. Especially when Chen Yongguang saw the school, library and summary court in the city, he saw the determination of Chi Hua and others to restore order and modern civilization from these details.
During the time when Chen Yongguang and the others were there, a huge metal tower with a height of more than 300 meters like the Eiffel Tower was erected in the center of Phoenix City, and even Chi Hua's strong metal ability was so tired that he almost vomited blood in the process of making this tower.
The metal tower has a very interesting name - the Sycamore Tower, which means that with the Sycamore Tree can attract the Golden Phoenix. Few people know that the nuclear radiation converter is placed on the top of the tower, and the purpose of placing it high in the air is to minimize the impact of the nuclear radiation absorbed by the nuclear radiation converter on the human body.
On the night when the Wutong Tower was officially completed, all the lights in Phoenix City were turned on, and only one nuclear radiation converter solved most of Phoenix's energy problems.
After a series of wars in the spring, Phoenix ushered in a long period of calm, which was also a rare golden period of development since the establishment of Phoenix.
During this time, Phoenix grew enough food to feed millions of people, solved its energy problems, began to gradually restore its basic industries, and the underground passages connecting the three cities were rapidly advancing.
After half a year of training and the tempering of the war with the Gate of Heaven, the Phoenix City Guard Division and the Special Operations Brigade have further strengthened their combat strength, and have fully grown into a powerful doomsday army, waiting for the test of the next war at any time.
Phoenix has become a sacred place in the hearts of post-apocalyptic humans throughout the Northwest Territories, whether it is the landmark Wutong Tower or the city wall covered in silver metal, it is like a legend for humans who have never been to the city.
The keen merchant was the first to discover that the chances of awakening to an evolver in Phoenix City were even greater, the radiation in Phoenix City was almost undetectable, and there was a safe and stable environment here that no other force could match.
In addition, Phoenix also has a large amount of evolutionary crystal nuclei, gold, and food reserves, all of which are apocalyptic hard currency. Merchants don't have to worry about selling their goods, and adventurers can get a lot of quests to explore and gather intelligence.
A series of factors made the merchants and adventurer teams in the Northwest Regions willing to gather here, and the agglomeration effect of people made Phoenix the economic center of the entire Northwest Territories, where almost any pre-apocalyptic goods could be found.
No matter how reluctant it was, this period of quiet development in Phoenix was broken.
However, it was not the humans themselves who broke the peace, but the mutated beasts. The mutant beasts that were not much in Chi Hua's eyes more than a month ago have begun to pose a big threat to Phoenix City.
The attacks of mutant beasts on Phoenix City became more and more frequent, and soldiers and residents were killed and injured in the attacks of fierce beasts one after another, and even ordinary people in the city felt the abnormality.
While it is not uncommon for mutant beasts to attack human camps, it is rare for them to attack a large city like Phoenix, and even less so frequently to attack a city. Phoenix will have to do something to change the situation, and if the attack continues, the city will lose stability.
In the Phoenix City meeting hall, the high-level leaders of the entire force were present, and Ouyang Minglang was introducing the situation to everyone.
"Our intelligence shows that these attacks we are currently receiving are just the beginning, the number of mutant beasts appearing around Phoenix City continues to increase, but more animals do not choose to attack rashly, and from all indications, we judge that there may be a wave of mutant beasts in the near future."
As soon as Ouyang's voice fell, there was a slight commotion in the hall. The Mutant Beast Tide has happened several times since the end of the world, regardless of the size of the camp
There have never been cases of the camp being attacked by the mutant beast tide. The scene in the camp was horrific after the beast tide, and all humans became food for the mutated beasts.
After a moment of silence in the hall, Ouyang continued: "This is not the worst, our scouts have also found traces of second-order mutant beasts nearby, and there is definitely more than one from the traces. Unfortunately, we haven't found any clues that the mutant beasts are actively attacking us, and we have a preliminary guess that there must be something in the city that attracts them, because there is no similar phenomenon of mutant beast attacks in Chosen City and Hibiscus City. ”
"Ouyang, let your people don't have to look for it anymore, there are indeed things in the city that are constantly attracting mutated beasts." Chi Hua's sudden words shocked everyone in the hall.
