Chapter 21: The Black Tide Descends

As soon as he heard the appearance of the black tide, everyone walked to the window and looked down, Carl was nervous, hearing such an "indescribable" thing for the first time made him feel the fear of being dominated by the unknown again.

"Where is the Kuroshio?" Carl's eyes looked around the street.

"There, the canal cover next to the flower shop." Ji Si solemnly pointed out the location.

Looking in the direction indicated by Ji Si, Karl's pupils shrank sharply, and he couldn't help but gasp, "It's so terrifying, it's like devouring the world." ”

Some black mist drifted out of the gap in the canal cover, and the rain could not affect it in the slightest, and began to spread its hideous face to the whole city.

An orange cat passed by the side of the street, and the black mist gathered like a piranha that smelled blood.

"Meow~" The orange cat felt the danger and screamed, and its fat body quickly walked through the street.

However, the black mist seemed to have eyes in pursuit, and it was getting closer and closer.

The orange cat's luck seemed to be over, and it was caught by a few black fogs under the lamppost next to the street, and it was difficult to take a single step in his body, and he was drilled into his nostrils by the black fog.

"Meow~Meow~" The orange cat screamed a few times and fell to the ground, weak hands and feet.

Everyone watched this scene happen in the high-rise building, and couldn't help but fall silent, this is the consequence of encountering the black tide, no exception.

"Did the boy see that? This is the consequence of encountering the Kuroshio, a ghost creature that is not afraid of the sun, and although it has a limited time to appear, for now, it can rank in the top 10 for the level of threat to survivors. Constance shook his head.

"It is also important not to go out during the period when the Kuroshio is raging in the city, and not to make any noise that can be heard outside the house, and not to turn on the lights in the house to attract their attention. That's why we usually store three days' worth of food in the base for a rainy day. ”

"Basically, if you do this, you can safely get through this period of Kuroshio." Constance turned off the lights with a snap.

Although you don't lose sight of your fingers, you should be careful when walking around the house so as not to touch something.

"In fact, there is more than one way to avoid the Kuroshio. I'm just one of them, and the safest way is to hide in some buildings that are more than 160 meters high. Constan shook his head, "It's just that this kind of building is usually full of ghosts, and the resources needed to drive away those ghosts are only a fraction of the resources, so for a small group like us, we should not go." ”

"Why is it safe to hide in some high-rise buildings that are more than 160 meters high? Do you mean ......?" said Karl with a sudden realization.

"That's right, because of some unknown factors, those bugs can't cross the shackles of 160 meters at all." Constance laughed.

"If the bug breaks through this shackle, the threat level will definitely rise to the first place. Then it is better for human beings to hang themselves as soon as possible. He said with a shrug.

Karl also sighed and said, "Then are we going to stay in the stronghold for a few days?" ”

"That's right, you can go out when the Kuroshio dissipates." Constance nodded.

"Won't there be enough food?" Carl asked.

"Don't worry, it's enough, four people, three days' worth of serving." Constance said confidently.

Hearing this, Carl also let go of his nervousness, lay on the soft sofa, and muttered to himself: "It should be in a prison cell for three days." ”

Constance took out a deck of pokers from the cabinet in the living room and beckoned to everyone, "Who's going to play poker?" ”

"I'll ......"

"I'll ......"

As a result, Carl was left alone on the boring couch in the entire living room.

"I'd better go see what's on the street." Karl sighed.

Although the big man Constantin said that as long as the basic precautions were in place, he was still reassured, and in any case he believed that vigilance was essential.

It just so happens that he has nothing to do, so he can be an observer, at least he can inform them of any sudden changes in the streets. Karl moved a bench to the window and sat down, looking boredly at the street.

……

Inside the conference room.

"Hehe, that kid's self-esteem and perseverance are still quite strong, and he is the type who refuses to accept unearned gains. If you grow up, you should have the opportunity to stand with the people at the top. Constance squinted at someone sleepy in the living room.

"I can see that, too." Ji Si nodded. When training, you can also see his desperate spirit, and he has never overfulfilled the training amount, and he has never been lazy. From the beginning when Carl didn't know anything to the beginning of his learning, she saw everything in her eyes.

"In other words, isn't it a little bad for us to talk about others behind their backs." Rosa looked seriously thoughtful.

"What's the discussion? Am I calling this a discussion? It's called compliment. Constance retorted.

"Yes, yes, you're right." Rosa gave him a blank look.

"You...... You ......," Konstein was about to retort.

However, Ji Si stood up to stop the two and said, "Stop arguing and continue to play poker." ”

……

Hiss...... Hiss......

"Still no signal...... Alas. Carl turned on the radio, and just as he thought he would receive information from the outside world, there was a "hissing" noise.

Angry, he snapped and turned off the old radio, and it seemed that the city was indeed cut off from everything by the "indescribable" presence, as Rosa said.

Since Carl met the ghost, the biggest question in his heart is not how the ghost came, but that the people outside the city did not react at all, normally the traffic flow between Heaton City and other cities is as high as more than 50 million every year, so many people come to Heaton City and nothing happens?

There are no clues? Or is it that the behind-the-scenes presence that manipulates it all can make so many people hallucinate? Fack! That's a living fart, and you have to hang yourself.

What's more, if that behind-the-scenes existence really does this, it is nothing more than two reasons, first, it is a pervert, it has the unrivaled power of human beings, and it does not kill human beings with one blow, but tortures human beings, what is not a perversion?

Second, it can only be used in this inefficient way for some reasons.

3. I'm dreaming, Fack's mother, is the dream so real?

However, neither of them is what Carl wants, because humans are in the position of being toyed with, that is, ants.

"Damn it!" Carl's brain suddenly felt like he had been punched, and it hurt terribly.

It wasn't until some of his memories began to blur back to normal, and Karl grinned, "What just happened?" ”

Although he remembered what he had just thought, he didn't understand that every time he thought in the direction of the truth, his brain hurt.
