Chapter 198: The Calm Before the Storm
It's night......
The entire barracks near the sea is quiet!
Except for those who are in charge of patrolling, as well as a very few people with ulterior motives like Xia Jian and Xie Cong, who still have not rested, most of the people in the camp have already fallen asleep!
In the rows of collective dormitories, there will be a slight snoring sound or two from time to time!
But soon, the snoring will stop again!
There was silence in the dormitory again......
Now are the end times......
It's okay in the camp, but if it's in the dangerous wilderness, a small snoring is likely to cause unnecessary trouble!
Not right either!
It is possible to get into trouble, just for in the wild......
If you're in a city with a lot of dark chasers, there's no chance that snoring will cause trouble! It's sure to attract the Dark Chaser!
So, to this day, among the survivors who wander and struggle in the wild, those who can't control their snoring are basically dead!
……
"Click......"
I don't know when the road was, but on the cliff east of the camp, there was a series of almost inaudible sounds when the mechanism rotated!
Follow the sound to find the ......
Soon you will enter a dense jungle with foliage and cover the sky, continue deeper, and after a few minutes of walking, you will find a lush grass almost two meters high!
When you separate the grass again......
Suddenly it was dark!
That's right!
Behind the grass, there is a bottomless dark cave!
This cave. It's not naturally formed!
On the stone walls around the cave, traces of manual excavation can be seen everywhere!
Go deep into the cave ......
Soon, it will be clear in front of you! appeared in front of the eyes. It's a huge harbor!
The whole cave is like a cliff facing the sea!
And on the stone wall in the back of the cave, if you look carefully, you can still find a closed dark grid, and what is stored in the dark grid is a cannon barrel with a huge caliber and a cold death luster!!
No doubt......
This cave. It was Xie Cong who mentioned to Xia Jian at the beginning, one of the many hidden batteries guarding the entire secret military port!
The cave is covered with a thick layer of dust!
It can be seen. It's been a long time since anyone has been here!
The faint sound of the mechanism came from the many dark grids on the stone wall......
……
As time passed, the sound of the mechanism turning became louder and clearer!
Finally......
"Click......"
A dark compartment in the innermost part of the cave. Sudden sagging!
In a series of hoarse rubbing sounds ......of "clack, clack, clack". A dark grid with a length and width of about one meter is revealed!
Looking from the outside......
A barrel with a black hole with a caliber of about 155 looms in the dark grid! It has a unique and chilling metallic luster!
However, this cannon barrel did not stick out of the dark grid as expected!
On the contrary, a few seconds later, there was a series of sounds in the dark compartment!
Soon, a slender, slender figure clasped the upper edge of the dark grid with both hands. It was as agile as a loach, and it suddenly came out of the dark grid......
……
Fall to the ground......
This figure had just emerged from the dark grid. Then he vigilantly began to patrol the surroundings......
This person, wearing a very close-fitting bodysuit.
Fair skin, black curly hair, tightly coiled on the head, plump breasts and buttocks, slender, full of seductive arcs, can almost hook people's souls!
Surely a woman!
Wait until it is confirmed that there is no danger......
The woman turned around again, fumbled in the dark compartment for a while, and pulled out a small package!
Unwrap the package......
The woman took out a set of clothes from it and changed it for herself at the first time!
Then I took out a few strange electronic instruments from the package, but just by looking at them, you can feel the high-tech atmosphere!
Very skillfully hidden on the body!
Of course......
There are a few more weapons at the end!
When everything was ready, the woman took out another instrument and flipped through it......
"How? Can you see it? ”
Her voice is very special, cold, with a faint sense of alienation!
"No problem......"
In the instrument, a woman's voice also came out!
“OK! Then I'm going......"
After saying that, the woman hid the instrument, threw the tights and packages she had taken off into the secret compartment, and then closed the hidden compartment!
When leaving this cave......
This woman did not forget to eliminate the traces she left before one by one!
The whole process is very skillful, as if it has been specially trained!
When all this was done, the woman reaffirmed that she had left no trace, and disappeared into the dense grass like a civet cat......
The direction in which it disappeared was the camp near the sea......
……………………
Meanwhile......
The former secret military base of No. 015!
Although the campsite near the sea is located in the same jungle as the 015 military base, the two survivor colonies are located......
It's a far cry from the quiet, calm seaside campsite......
At this moment, in the No. 015 military base, there is a constant roar and fire! !
As the largest area, the most survivors, and the strongest human survivor gathering place in the area around the entire Pearl City!
At this time, the No. 015 military base has long since lost its original appearance!
See from the sky......
The entire camp loomed in the light of a fire that almost ignited half of the heavens......
What catches my eye is a mess!
It's like being hit by a Category 12 hurricane, and now it's all in the camp. I can't see a complete and complete building!
Come in closer......
If you have a good line of sight, you can see huge ones in the sea of fire that spreads throughout the camp. Charred craters!
Around the crater, there are large expanses of countless charred, curled, and shattered corpses!
The corpses died in a variety of ways......
The cause of death is the same in each department, too!
But without exception, they are all lying on the ground silently, and they have long been lifeless!
Very brutal fact......
A huge base. The base, which once gathered more than five million survivors, is now unable to find a single living person!!
What's going on?
turned a huge base into hell?
Judging by the situation at the scene. Obviously, not long ago, there was a terrible bombing of the 015 military base!
But why is there a bombing?
Military base No. 015. Aren't there nearly 400,000 survivors still stranded?
And......
At this time. At this point, the people who can bomb the No. 015 military base on this scale can't be other powerful forces except for the bigwigs who have been hiding under the base!
Could it be that those military bigwigs finally got tired of seeing the complete depravity and chaos of the survivors in the base, and in one fell swoop, they all destroyed them humanely?
That's 400,000 survivors!!
Probably not, right?
However. The violent explosion not only completely destroyed the entire base. Even wiped all the clues clean!
In the absence of a single survivor, it is obviously a bit impractical to find clues about what happened in this area of ruins after the artillery fire!
…………
The perspective shifts again......
The same mountain forest!
Under the night sky, looking down from the sky, a camp of survivors looms in the midst of a snowy and leafy jungle......
The same camp!
However, it is different from the Forbidden Land 015, which has been completely engulfed in flames at this time, or the seaside camp that has fallen into a deep sleep!
This camp is a makeshift camp!
And it's a makeshift camp in the truest sense of the word......
As the living environment of Pearl City continues to deteriorate, after two riots of the Dark Chaser, there are only a few survivors left, and life is becoming more and more difficult!
Plus the propaganda of some well-intentioned people......
After learning that in the mountains south of Pearl City, there is another camp with strong strength and very good conditions.
More and more survivors, with no choice but to evacuate from Pearl City one after another!
After a difficult choice!
Nearly 60 percent of these survivors who were evacuated from Pearl City chose the same place as their destination!
That's right!
Their destination is a camp near the sea!
However, from Pearl City to Linhai Camp, the distance is not too far! But there are also more than 100 miles away!
And now the mountain is covered by heavy snow, and he can only walk, Rao is an evolutionary whose strength has reached the level of soldiers, and it will take two days to complete the journey!
After all, not everyone has the strength of Xia Jian and Xie Cong!
In this case......
On the way to the seaside camp in Pearl City, some temporary camps came into being!
These camps are pretty basic!
Very few people will even stay in it for more than two days!
Most of them were people who had passed by before, and they found a random open space in the jungle and made a tent, and when the latter passed by, they saw that the conditions were good, so they also set up tents here!
And then in the time that followed, it was perfected! More and more people choose to rest here, and it is formed spontaneously!
……
Right now, this camp is one of several makeshift camps along the way!
And it's the biggest one!
This point also happens to start from Pearl City and arrive at the last large-scale rest point in front of the waterfront camp!
Typically......
Most of the survivors choose to spend the night here before reaching the waterfront camp!
In this way, you will be able to reach the waterfront camp before noon the next day!
……
I don't know what the reason is, but there are a lot of survivors who choose to rest in this temporary camp tonight!
Look at the past at a glance. Across the empty hillside, there are more than a dozen wooden houses and straw huts!
In addition to that, there were four or five tents!
These grass huts and wooden houses. Naturally, it was left behind by the survivors who passed by!
This can be regarded as a tacit understanding!
Every survivor who passes by here will subconsciously strengthen and improve these simple grass huts and wooden houses!
Until now......
From the outside, it looks just as shabby!
But in fact, the warmth effect is very good!
And these tents ......
It's because there are too many people tonight. The grass huts and wooden houses really can't be squeezed, and some conditional survivors erect them themselves!
As for those, neither the grass hut was grabbed. Wooden houses, and no tents are carried either!
Excuse me!
Either continue your journey overnight, or get caught up in some bush or tree hole for the night!
After all, this is the end of the world!
There will be no well-wishers who will take their own place in the grass hut and wooden house. Or your own tent. Give it to them!
"Woo ......"
Suddenly, a fierce cold wind whistled by!
In the giant trees in the sky, there was a wind like a roaring ghost!
"Rustling ......"
The lush branches and leaves suddenly trembled in the cold wind!
"Ahem......"
As if affected by this cold wind, a violent coughing sound suddenly came from the most central part of the camp, and also the largest and strongest wooden hut in the entire camp!
Cough of a middle-aged man!
He was about 30 years old and had a bearded face. With a haggard face, hug yourself in a thick quilt!
Looks like. There seems to be some discomfort in the body!
When he coughed violently, the gasping air made the bonfire in the middle of the camp shake gently......
……
This wooden house is indeed big enough!
The area is about 30 square meters......
But at this time, the wooden house was very crowded, densely packed with people!
A rough calculation shows that there are no less than sixty people!
Now, most of the survivors crowded in the wooden hut have basically rested!
Only a few people gathered near the campfire were still discussing something, and at the same time did not forget to lick and add some wood to the bonfire from time to time to maintain the temperature in the cabin!!
Seeing the middle-aged man's violent cough, everyone who was originally discussing in a low voice looked up at him with concern!
"Rowan, you're fine!"
The one who asked out loud was a tall, thin man who looked like a penny!
Unshaven beard, dusty and tired!!
However, although the image of this tall and thin man is not very good, and he feels as if he is malnourished, his momentum is the strongest among all the people in the entire wooden house!
"Hehe......"
When the coughing finally stopped, the middle-aged man who had finally recovered his breath shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's okay!" It's worth it! ”
Although there is nothing wrong with his mouth, as long as a clear-eyed person looks at him like that, he will know that the current situation of his body is definitely not as simple as he said!
Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes......
A touch of emotion flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he hesitated for a while, then continued: "Boss Lin, I really have nothing to do, but my mental power is damaged, and I can't die!" ”
……
Boss Lin?
Rowan?
Through the flickering firelight, take a closer look at the appearance of these people, these are not Lin Fan, Luo Wen, Zhou Li, Xie Weihong and his party who left Pearl City earlier, who else could it be!!
It's just that how could Rowan with the ability to clone get hurt?
And is it still mentally impaired?
Originally......
Since three days ago, after Xie Cong never returned, the next day, Lin Fan, who was waiting for news not far away, realized that something was wrong!
Hesitant and ......
Xie Cong decided to send someone to the place where the incident occurred!
However, at that time, the nearly 10 million dark chasers were still gathered in that area!
It's not easy to find out!
The choice has not been decided......
Fortunately, when Lin Fan was helpless, he planned to go there himself......
Rowan, who has the ability to clone, took the initiative to stand up!
In Luo Wen's own words, it's a doppelganger anyway, even if it's really hanging, it's not a big deal!
Lin Fan thought about it!
felt that Rowan was reasonable, so he agreed to let Rowan's doppelganger investigate the situation!
However......
I thought it was foolproof, the calculation was really hanging, and it wouldn't hurt the body, and the arrangement of the insurance was relatively safe, but at the last moment, there was a mess!
Luo Wen, who finally sneaked into the area where the incident occurred, was so immortal that he actually bumped into that king-level spiritual blood clan!
And that king-level spiritual blood clan once competed with Luo Wen for the control of the clone!
I couldn't be more familiar with Rowan's mental fluctuations......
At a glance, he recognized Rowan, who had finally sneaked in.
What followed was a terrifying spiritual impact!
Fortunately, at that time, as soon as Luo Wen felt that something was wrong, he immediately gave up his clone and took back his spiritual power!
At that time, if his reaction was a little bit at night, it was very likely that Xu Reni would be his version!
But even so......
Rowan's mental power has also been greatly traumatized!
It took more than a day to wake up from a coma......
And until now, it has not been restored!
…………
"Alas......"
Lin Fan sighed, seeing Luo Wen's current appearance, he felt quite self-reproachful!
If he hadn't insisted on investigating the situation, Rowan wouldn't have come forward......
Naturally, it won't hurt!
The results are now ......
The situation was not investigated, but it hurt Rowan!
As if seeing what Lin Fan was thinking, Rowan grinned, but patted Lin Fan's shoulder and comforted: "Sigh, it's not that it's not good!" It's just more troublesome! ”
I saw that the atmosphere in the wooden house was still solemn......
Luo Wen was moved, and hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, you say, where did all those dark chasers go?" ”
Hear him ask......
The people who were still burying their heads one by one and with solemn faces before really lifted their spirits!
However, the atmosphere in the wooden house has become more solemn!
Originally......
Although since Luo Wen was injured, although Lin Fan has not sent someone to investigate the situation, he has still been paying close attention to the changes in that area!
A few days ago, those nearly 10 million dark chasers have not moved!
It's like looking for this......
It wasn't until last night that those dark chasers who had not dispersed for a long time stopped looking for each other under the control of a certain force and poured out of Pearl City again!
Since these dark chasers have withdrawn, Lin Fan, who has always wanted to know the situation of Xia Jian, Xie Cong, and Xu Leini, naturally rushed to the location of the incident that night as soon as possible!
But even if you search the whole area......
Lin Fan didn't find any clues either!
Of course......
The corpses of Xia Jian and others were not found either!
