Chapter 25: After the Darkness
Three days passed, and the Kuroshio Tide came to an end.
At the same time, the food in the stronghold was basically gone, but everyone's mood was calm and cheerful. Because they no longer have to live in the dark.
"Look, the Kuroshio tide has receded!" Carl said excitedly.
Hearing this, everyone stopped what they were doing and walked to the window to look at the street. Sure enough, as Karl said, the Kuroshio receded.
Seeing the inky black mist pouring into the sewers as if it had encountered some suction, it was like an evil god opening its mouth to swallow the world, sucking everything in.
"The Kuroshio is finally over." Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the three days of dark life made everyone's physical condition a lot worse, and some illnesses began to appear, but now that the black tide is over, then they can return to their normal life, as long as they recuperate for a few days, their bodies will naturally recover.
"Alright, we're going out again, boy, remember to keep an eye on everything at home, understand?" Constance smiled at Carl before leaving the door.
Carl waved his hand and said, "Got it, got it, be careful all the way." ”
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After saying goodbye to Carl, they left the stronghold with a piece of equipment, this time Carl was not too worried about their safety, after all, after the recent resurrection of the catastrophe, they would also try to avoid some places where ghosts gathered, and would not venture there.
When they left, Carl went to the bathroom, undressed his upper body, and examined his body after so many days of hard work.
First of all, in terms of body size, the current Carl is obviously a lap larger than his previous thin figure. And the complexion has also changed from the initial pale to a healthy wheat color, looking at those even and not exaggerated muscles, Carl has a look of satisfaction on his face.
Sure enough, the effort was not in vain!
To do anything, if you are not a person with great willpower, then you must need some visible benefits to be motivated to do it. The most appropriate thing is to chase girls, if a boy chases a girl for a few months and doesn't see any reaction, most people will gradually retreat.
Carl belongs to the strange one of the two people, taking the best of the two, not too insistence, and not too easy to give up, this is his principle of everything.
It is precisely because of this that Carl already has some ability to deal with the supernatural, plus his unique ability, I believe that he will definitely be able to shine and make everyone's jaws drop.
"After more than ten days of high-intensity training, I have reached heights that ordinary novices have never reached." Karl's eyes flickered, and it was clear that he already had some plans and goals for the future.
"It is said that 99 percent of success is hard work, and if I am a genius, it is an unprecedented hundred!" Carl thought to himself. Although he didn't know why his body was different until now, Carl didn't plan to dig deeper.
He only needs to amplify this advantage, thinking too much will only add unnecessary troubles to himself, or making every effort to improve his ability is the king.
"Anyway, I don't think I went to the rooftop for a few days, so I don't know what happened there. Was it affected during the Kuroshio Current? Carl suddenly thought curiously.
He was still quite worried that the rooftop had been affected by some bad influences, after all, he still had some items placed there to facilitate training, and if it was damaged because of this, he would feel that it would be a pity.
In an anxious mood, Karl walked up to the rooftop, and to his surprise, the insects in the black fog would not destroy anything unless they met people. So there was basically nothing wrong with the things on the rooftop, except for some paper items that were injured on a rainy day, and the rest of the things were unharmed.
"It's okay, it's okay, none of these things have been damaged." Carl secretly breathed a sigh of relief. These belongings had been used for many years, some of which he had bought with her as a child, and some of which she had gifted.
For example, Carl remembers that on his ninth birthday, Monica bought one from the old Parker's century-old bag store across the street and came back to him as a gift, with some crooked English words written on it.
There's so much more......
After packing up some important things, Carl was much more relieved.
After completing this series of tasks, Carl began his day's work as a police officer, standing on the rooftop, observing the surroundings and providing support to everyone at any time.
"However, this work can be very boring at times." Carl complained. Looking at the cookie-cutter scenery in front of you, as well as the cold and desolate steel city, I really can't feel good.
I really want to leave this deserted city!
Karl looked at the edge of the city with a bitter face, but saw nothing, and there was still a mysterious fog that seemed to hide an unspeakable secret.
In his spare time, Carl had heard from Constance that the survivors had hit the white mist more than once, but it didn't work, and the people who went in were basically gone, and those who came out alive were like being injected with thousands of years of information into their brains all at once, and became some dementia who muttered to themselves all day.
Later, for the sake of unnecessary casualties, the survivors stopped this dangerous move.
However, they did not despair because of this, but continued to look for other methods, and after hundreds of deaths, they really found a set of loopholes.
After a painstaking investigation, they found that the white fog was only covering the surface area, which meant that the underground area was not affected at all. So, all at once, the survivors boiled like water.
After several days and nights of research, they discovered that there were three viable routes to the outside of the city, the first, the Western Undersea Tunnel, the second, the Heaton City Underground Drainage System (sewers), and the third, the abandoned mine cave in the Chimerado Mountains.
The only way to escape the city is the above three roads, but it is well known that underground structures are full of unknown dangers. Many never-before-seen ghosts hide underground, and humans are attacked by unspeakable attacks whenever they step within their range, often with outright death, or a dementia who only knows how to eat and.
But compared to the 100% probability of death in the white fog, the underground building gives rise to a glimmer of hope in people's hearts, although this glimmer of hope is so insignificant, but it is the spiritual sustenance of all survivors
