Naturally, Heicheng will not be the original name of the city, but Zhang Changcheng and their own renaming. Most of the city's neighborhoods have been in ruins, and after a series of fierce battles between monsters and armies in the aftermath of the cataclysm, the human army has chosen to retreat due to their numerical disadvantage and the inability to receive timely assistance due to communication failures.

After that, a large number of monsters also left the Black City, and only a few remained, staying in some corners of the Black City. Those places were circled with a red pen and typed in the map in Zhang Changcheng's hand.

"We came to this city later, and I'm a retired soldier."

On the heavy truck, Zhang Changcheng introduced Lin Ci and said: "This is my old subordinate Hu Wei, we all call him Lao Hu." Lao Hu is a real person who doesn't like to talk, but things are done properly. If you can't find me for anything, you can find him. ”

pushed out the young man surnamed Ye again: "Ye Tian, we call him Xiao Ye." Xiao Ye used to play football, and when he runs, he is called fast. So we give him all the scouting work, and if we need to run errands, we can call him. Of course, if you have a beautiful girl, don't forget to introduce her. The young man is good, but he is shy. ”

The young man surnamed Ye blushed slightly, and said, "Brother Zhang, how can there be such an introduction." ”

Lin Ci smiled and made a brief introduction to some people on his side.

When he heard that Chen Ran was a doctor, Zhang Changcheng was very happy, "This is great, we are short of a doctor." ”

"I don't know, are you planning to stay in Heicheng for a long time, or are you just passing by?"

"If there are no accidents, at least for a while."

"Okay, when you get to the place where you live, I'll arrange some places for you."

Ye Tian leaned to the window and looked at it, and said, "Let's get to the ground." ”

The car stopped, Zhang Changcheng jumped out of the car, and said to Lin Ci: "Come, take a look at our home." ”

Lin Ci also got out of the car, and there was a street in front of him. However, the streets are surrounded by rubble mounds on all sides, leaving only one entrance. There are a number of self-welded barriers at the entrances and exits, and fences and barbed wire have been pulled up, so it is not so easy to rush into them even if new xenomorphs come over.

What's more, there is a revolver cannon directly opposite the entrance, and I don't know where Zhang Changcheng got such heavy firepower, it threw An behind a few sandbags stacked cover, aimed at the entrance, and the strafing power was enough to repel a monster like the Ripper.

When the convoy arrived, some men climbed up behind the surrounding piles of rocks, they were all survivors of the Black City, Zhang Changcheng patted Lin Ci hard and said to them: "Look, we have new friends." They came from Maozi's side, old Li Xiaogang, quickly remove the barricades. ”

"Okay."

"Lailuo."

Several men jumped off the pile of rocks and moments later came to the entrance and exit to remove the barricade and let the convoy pass. Lin Ci walked with Zhang Changcheng and a few others, he liked this very much, after all, being able to return to this yellow land and listen to Chinese was better than being in a foreign country.

As soon as they entered, a woman's voice came: "Zhang Changcheng, are you willing to come back?" Didn't you say you would come back in an hour, it was daylight. Say, what have you done? ”

From the side of the street came a tall woman, about thirty years old, with a holster around her waist and a revolver stuck in it. Even though she is a woman, she has a strong taste. Zhang Changcheng smiled dryly: "Don't be surprised, her name is Luo Ying." ”

There were more than 200 people living in the underpass, and when they walked on the street, many old people with children looked at them curiously on both sides of the street.

"We all came from different places, and we were all strangers at first. But now, they get along more closely than their own relatives. ”

"Brother Lin, we basically have enough supplies here. When we first arrived, supplies could be found in many places in Heicheng, such as shops and medicine stores, and we looted a lot of things and put them in warehouses, enough for us to use for two or three years. ”

"Well, I'll see. When you arrive, you can settle down here first, if you don't have enough space, there is a vacant room upstairs, just clean it yourself. ”

They stopped in front of a reinforced building at the entrance to the underpass.

The people of the convoy got off the car one after another, Zhang Changcheng walked in front, Zhang Changcheng turned around, and said with a smile: "How about it, the place is quite spacious, and it is no problem to live for more than ten or twenty people." Of course, there are many vacant rooms upstairs, but the conditions are worse than here. ”

"There's a small warehouse behind here where you can store some miscellaneous items. Oh, and there's also the staff lounge, which can also be converted into a bedroom, depending on how you distribute it. ”

Lin Ci turned around and was very satisfied.

"Okay, you guys discuss it yourself, I'll go first. If you want to leave me, you can find someone to ask me when you go out, and you will know where I am. ”

Zhang Changcheng left, Lin Ci coughed dryly, beckoned everyone to sit down in the open space on the right, and said, "We have finally arrived, and everyone has worked hard along the way." ”

On the other side, he couldn't help but look at the sky outside the corridor, where would the father whose identity was a mystery be now?

"Lin Ci, are you looking for me?"

Zhang Changcheng's voice brought Lin Ci back to his senses, and he nodded: "Brother Zhang, I'll talk to you about something." ”

"Alright, let's go downstairs."

They came downstairs to a room with a table in the middle of the hall, on which there was a model of an underground passage, made of cardboard and plastic.

Zhang Changcheng said with a smile: "I used to draw maps in the army, and I also used to model the sand table. Now this craft is still there, so let's make a model according to this. Sometimes when a new type of heterogeneity is harassing, it is also more convenient and intuitive to assign people to explain. ”

"Sit, drink water or tea?"

Lin Ci sat down on a chair next to him: "Don't bother, I'm not thirsty." ”

"It's okay, we connected a pipeline at the beginning of the year to get water directly from the river outside the city. Then use the soil method to filter and eat, the water source is sufficient, not to mention drinking tea and water, and it is not a problem for everyone to take a bath on weekdays. But I've heard that it's miserable in other places, and some water sources are also controlled by some guys, and it is more expensive for ordinary people to ask for water than to buy gold. ”

Lin Ci frowned, "I just wanted to ask you, what is the situation in China now." ”

"How to say it, the situation is still very tense, but the elite of the alliance is still there, but it has moved to the desert area."

"Moving to a desert area?" Lin Xi understood as soon as he heard it, "Xenos hate dry places, and if they are in a desert area, their activities will be greatly restricted. The new xenomorph and xenomorph are the same kind of organisms, but the direction of evolution is different. ”

"If they are closer to the beasts, they will not go to the desert. So now, the desert has become the safest place in the world. ”

Zhang Changcheng pointed at Lin Ci and said with a smile: "Brother, the analysis is professional enough." That's right, I heard that the alliance is preparing to accumulate forces in the desert area, and one day there will be a full-scale counteroffensive. If there is a day, hey, my old Zhang will definitely rush to the front. Those eight lambs have killed so many of my brothers, I want to kill them all in my dreams......"

When he said this, Zhang Changcheng's eyes were red, and it seemed that he had experienced a lot of difficult times before.

Lin Ci was silent for a moment and said, "That's the case, Brother Zhang." I'm going to tell you that there will be five or six people leaving tomorrow on our side, and they don't want to stay here. The rest, including me and Dr. Chen, will stay in Heicheng for the time being, in your community. ”

"It's great that Dr. Chan is willing to stay." Zhang Changcheng slapped his thigh and grinned: "What we lack the most is doctors, and I will be relieved if Dr. Chen is willing to stay." You tell him that as long as he is willing to stay, he will be treated best with us. ”

"We will give him the best protection, the best food and the best living environment."

"Then I'll thank you for Dr. Chen." Lin Xi smiled and said, "Except for Dr. Chen, Master Fan is a stable person, his driving skills are not bad, and his skills in repairing vehicles are not bad. There are still more than a dozen soldiers on my side, and I plan to keep four of them by my side to help, and the other four will be handed over to you, Brother Zhang. ”

"They are professional fighters and should be able to strengthen the protection of some communities."

Lin Ci paused and said, "In the end, my sister and I are both aliens, and another friend used to be a second-order Taiyi warrior, but now he is a free body. The three of us, when needed, can provide combat support. ”

Zhang Changcheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he jumped up and said, "Brother, are you a different species?" That's great, only me and Lao Luo are aliens here, it's easy to deal with the harassment of three or five new xenomorphs on weekdays, if we come in groups, we can only take refuge in the underground passage. With the addition of the three of you, we probably won't be afraid in the future. ”

"You're a xenomorph too?"

"Yes, I'm an attacker. Lao Luo is a shield armor species, and the two of us cooperate well, but there are fewer people. ”

Zhang Changcheng patted Lin Ci on the shoulder and said, "What about you, which one are you?" ”

Lin Ci thought that the blood devouring was still asleep, so he simply told him: "Our brother and sister are all savages, and as for my friend, she has the ability of the shadow species and the attack species. ”

"Then let's do it first, if it's convenient, Brother Zhang. Let's see if I can find a few people to go with me to that resource point. ”

An armed vehicle drove out of the commune exit with a modified car and a baffle installed in front of it. A sunroof opened on the roof of the car, and a young man leaned out of the sunroof with a gun and looked around.

It was Ye Tian who drove the car, and Lin Ci sat in the passenger seat. The chairs in the back compartment were all removed, and two young men sat by the window, not knowing what they were talking about.

Lin Xi flipped through a small book given to him by Ye Tian, on which some simple maps were drawn, marking where there were new types of xenomorphs, which also involved the distribution of species, and it could be seen that this young man had done a good job.

What caught Lin Ci's attention was a kind of xenomorph that he had never seen before, it looked like a large hedgehog, at least roughly under Ye Tian's pen. Ye Tian painted it in great detail, marking its attack methods as well as its noteworthy characteristics.

The young man used the technique of sketching, and the monster was drawn realistically, and it jumped on the paper.

This new type of xenomorph, known to the inhabitants of the Black City as "Thorn Bombs", moves slowly, though they burrow into the ground. They are usually found in ambush underground, and when a person or car passes over them, their stingers will be fired.

These stingers can penetrate metal plates, and once fired in a calamity, two outgoing residents have been ambushed and killed by spikes in the last three months.

Now in the Carrefour resource point where Lin Xi and they are going, it is said that some people have seen this new type of xenomorph.

Seeing that Lin Ci was silent looking at the stabbing beast he had drawn, Ye Tian coughed lightly, and asked while driving the car, "Mr. Lin, what alien species have you all seen outside?" ”

"In addition to the Ripper and Glutton, there are also monsters that have emerged from the weight of the orb launched by the mother, which we call the Shellbreaker. I heard that in the seaside area, new types of xenomorphs have also appeared. ”

Ye Tian stuck out his tongue and said, "It's terrifying, so it's true that the new xenomorph has the possibility of evolution." This kind of stinging bomb beast didn't exist when we came, and it only started to appear half a year ago. ”

"Luckily, there aren't many of them, or we'd have to take a mine scanner with us on every trip." Ye Tian joked.

When the car stopped, Lin Ci opened the door and saw a resource point in the city. Lin Ci said to them: "You stay here, if you find a new type of xenomorph and fire a gun, I will rush back immediately." ”

Ye Tian was quite confident: "Don't worry, Mr. Wei." It's not the first time we've been out, and as long as we're not gluttonous, we'll be able to deal with a few rippers. ”

With a wave of his hand, Lin Ci walked towards the resource point alone.

The gate of the resource point is damaged in many places, and there are large corpses and bones around it, and you can see a service desk when you walk in, with the entrance of the resource point on the left and the exit on the right.

Lin Xi said softly: "Yaga, Ice Demon! ”

At that moment, a chill rose all over his body, pieces of ice armor emerged from the surface of his body, his right hand and feet changed, and two ice wings spread out behind him. Suddenly, a thin layer of frost quickly coagulated on the service desk and the ground, and the surrounding area was cold.

Lin Ci picked up a trolley casually, and the trolley quickly froze and was thrown far away by him. The icy car crashed to the ground in the distance, with a loud bang in the silence of a resource spot.

Lin Ci clapped his hands, then walked in from the entrance, and said softly: "Come together, save me from wasting time." ”

He walked through the entrance, and a torn man swam down the wall behind him like a black gecko. Silently swam to the top of Lin Ci's head, and pounced, but before he could touch Lin Ci, the ice wing on the left behind him slashed upward, and the sharp wingtip split the tearer in the middle, and when the monster fell to the ground, the cross-section of the wound was completely frozen.

Next, one after another, black monsters emerged from the resource points. They either crawled out of the container or crouched on the freezer, and as a gluttonous eater fell from the shelves to the ground, the Ripper screamed and frantically pounced on the forest.
