Chapter 141: Roadblock
It was a night of hustle and bustle......
When the first rays of morning light appeared in the white sky in the early morning of the next day......
It snowed heavily for several days, and there was finally a sign that it was going to stop!
In the fierce cold wind, the goose feather snow dancing wildly in the sky gradually turned into tiny snow crystals that you can't see at all if you don't look closely!
The modern city of reinforced concrete is covered in thick snow!
Everywhere there is a white expanse......
At first glance, it looks like a white desert, and when the cold wind blows, it rolls up snow particles in the sky......
In low-lying places, the depth of snow even reaches a staggering two meters! Once someone doesn't bother to go inside, it's very likely that they won't even be able to get a bubble out, and they will be trapped in it entirely.
…………
"Hoo ......"
Stand on the top floor of a skyscraper!
Xia Jian took a deep breath......
The icy airflow, mixed with countless tiny ice crystals, runs from the trachea to the lungs!
Feeling the biting coldness, Xia Jian couldn't help but shiver, which made Xia Jian meditate all night, and his slightly groggy spirit suddenly lifted!
The whole person also seemed a lot more sober......
Looking around......
As far as the eye can see, the city that used to be gray and white is now all white!!
In dim light......
This endless white color is slightly glaring!
And the air seems foggy, the view is blocked, and you can't see too far at all!
Seeing this scene, Xia Jian couldn't help but feel a little concerned......
Not long since. Xia Jian had imagined countless times in his mind that when the world realm really entered the Ice Age. What a sight it will be!
But I don't know......
Before you know it, the Ice Age has quietly descended on you!
At this rate, it may not be long before the entire city is buried under a thick layer of snow!!
Then in the long wait, looking forward to the next chance to see the light of day!!
"Good in the underground fortifications. It has a complete circulation system and material reserves......"
Xia Jian couldn't help but secretly rejoice......
If it weren't for this, Xia Jian really couldn't imagine the tens of thousands of people under his command. How to survive this endless winter!!
No food source......
There is no good heating facility!
An ordinary person who wants to survive in this harsh environment is tantamount to wishful thinking!
Do you just have to swallow these ice and snow, which contain a lot of radiation and impurities, to keep your stomach warm?
Fortunately, Xia Jian also had a faint sadness in his heart......
Not for yourself!
but for humanity as a whole......
In this long period of harsh climate. Myself. Even most of the government's strength may be able to survive it.
But these people are only a minority after all!!
At this moment, how many survivors are outside the power of these governments?
Ten percent?
Or ninety percent?
In Xia Jian's mind, the latter should be more likely!!
How many people can survive such a harsh environment......
And......
Yesterday in the underground space of the supermarket, so many blood cocoons were found!
This made Xia Jian suddenly have a faint sense of crisis......
Think about it......
It's been more than half a year since the Day of Apocalypse!
The first month passed after entering the end times. As we enter the second month......
The Darkchaser has begun its first evolution!
Although this process is not really completed until the third month!!
However, there is no denying it. In the second month after the end of the world, at the beginning of the month, there are already signs!
The most obvious of these is that in the middle of the second month, when Xia Jian escaped from Huatian Tower, at that time, the dark chasers he met at night would be directly promoted to the rank of soldier!
Although once it is night, the strength of the dark chaser will increase, which is already the most basic attempt in the last days!
However, it was only during that time that this kind of ascension directly crossed a level appeared!
And now......
In the same place, there were as many as dozens of blood clans, and at the same time, they were advanced to the rank of general!!
Does this indicate that it won't be long before these blood clans, dark chasers, and demons who haven't appeared for a long time are about to usher in their second advancement?
If this is true......
Isn't that when this advancement is made, these dark chasers wandering the streets will all have the strength of generals?
It's not that Xia Jianqi is worried!
Wasn't that the case the last time you advanced?
Ninety-nine percent of the shadow chasers have all been in one night, with soldier-level strength!
Once even an ordinary dark chaser has general-level strength......
Xia Jian didn't dare to continue thinking about it, maybe at that time, the human beings who once densely covered the entire surface of the earth would become a very distant past!!
"Do what you can!!"
Xia Jian subconsciously clenched his fists!!
…………
"Woo ......"
It's windy again......
The fierce cold wind rolled up large areas of ice crystals, constantly shuttling among the high-rise buildings!
From a distance, it looks like a white ribbon......
Wait until the sun shines......
The ribbon was instantly impregnated with a dazzling layer of blood, which was extremely dazzling!!
"Click...... Click......"
The soles of his shoes stepped on the snow, and a series of footsteps sounded behind Xia Jian......
"Adult ......"
It is a very beautiful sound, like a bird chirping.
Xia Jian turned around......
What appeared in his field of vision was a girl with clear eyes, a fair face, and as pure as snow!
Ai Xiaoxue!
It's just that under Xia Jian's reminder. She has lost the qualification to continue to call Xia Jian's boss!
and her general treatment is Wu Kai!
It's not that Xia Jian cares about this title very much......
But when tacit understanding has become a rule, even Xia Jian can't break it at will! Otherwise. What brings this snow-white woman in front of you will not be lucky, but endless disasters!!
"How's the preparation?"
"Hmmm! Everyone is ready to go, just ......"
Ai Xiaoxue seemed a little hesitant!
However, considering the mountain of materials in the supermarket warehouse, she finally mustered up the courage to say, "My lord." Don't we care about the materials in the warehouse? ”
Originally......
After subduing nearly four hundred people yesterday, Xia Jian suddenly felt. Maybe it would be a little too irresponsible to let them go to the naval base on their own?
After all, it's not a few people this time!
It's a group of ......
And as we all know, the more survivors come together. The easier it is to attract the attention of the dark chasers who wander nearby!
Even if they really break through Pearl City. In the outermost area of the dark chaser, with so many of them together, wouldn't it attract the attention of the mutated creatures in the jungle?
I measured left and right......
Xia Jian decided that he would simply work hard and escort these people back to the base!
Anyway, it's only a matter of a few days back and forth, so I can't delay much time......
And you can also take this opportunity to go back and see if you have been out for more than a week. To what extent has the base developed!!
……
Seeing Ai Xiaoxue's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Xia Jian didn't know what to do. What is this little girl thinking......
Be a man in the last days!
Almost everyone will regard food and other materials as more important than gold and other things! For some, it's even more important than weapons!!
And as time goes on, this situation is becoming more and more prominent!
This is due to the overall environment......
It will not change at all because of the will of the individual!
After all, as everyone knows by now, except for the food left over from before the Great Destruction, humanity, until now, has not found a new source of food!
What does this mean?
This means that as long as no new food source is found for a day, the food reserves of the entire human race will become smaller and smaller over time, until one day, they will be completely depleted.
At this time, human beings will have to risk their lives to compete with predators who are far more powerful than themselves for food!
Shaking his head with a smile......
Xia Jian originally wanted to directly issue a death order, prohibiting everyone from carrying all materials other than the necessary items.
But after thinking about it carefully, Xia Jian suddenly found that he might be a little difficult to be a strong man!
No matter how fanciful he says, it's just his own words after all. But the cruel end times have made today's human beings very practical!
Only when they get what they have in their hands will they be truly at ease......
"Or else!"
Xia Jian reached the command on his lips, but he was swallowed back again, and his tone changed, "You tell everyone, if you want to bring some, the premise is to be able to ensure your physical strength, and tomorrow, we will reach the destination......"
"Yes......"
Seeing that Xia Jian finally let go, Ai Xiaoxue ran down happily.
On the roof of the building, only Xia Jian was left......
Xia Jian shook him helplessly, turned around again, and looked into the distance......
Everything is back to the way it was before......
…………
Half an hour later, on the streets of Pearl City, which had been quiet for more than a week, a small-scale survivor migration team was ushered in again!
At the head of the line was a grim young man with a hideous giant axe on his back!
Along the way, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes were always half-squinted and half-closed, which seemed a little cynical!
If you just look at the appearance......
Except that his expression was a little more relaxed compared to the survivors around him, and after each step out of the road, he fell into the snow a little deeper than the others, and the young man was no different from the survivors around him!
Of course......
It's just about looks!
But in fact......
Whenever there are some stiff figures of movement, from the shadows on both sides of the snowflakes of the streets. When he comes out, this young man will quickly jump from his waist. He pulled out a dagger and swung it a few times at these stiff figures, as if inadvertently......
Then, those stiff figures, without exception, will be broken into several pieces in the rain of blood.
This young man is naturally Xia Jian......
And the weapon in his hand. He had redeemed it not long ago......
Dagger!
Sharpness: Five points!
Weight! It's almost negligible!
Naturally, it doesn't have the purgatory behind it, but it is enough to use "Assassination Swordsmanship" and "Half Moon Scimitar"!
Immediately behind him was Ai Xiaoxue!
The little girl is now the manager of the whole team!
And then there are the hundreds of survivors!
The whole team. The pace of action is slow, but everything is in order!
Although Xia Jian was relieved, everyone was allowed to carry a little more supplies!
But no one doesn't know how to bring a lot of big bags and small bags because of this!
Everybody's from here......
Naturally, I understand that in such a harsh environment as the last days. If you really bring too many supplies. If it affects your own actions, not only will you not get the supplies, but you will even lose your own life!
As for the group of evolutionaries led by Zhao Long and Wu Kai, none of them are in the team now!
But if you extend your line of sight......
You will find them within a distance of about five white meters from the team!
They are constantly roaming around the group, and if they find a place where there may be a large number of dark chasers, they will come back as soon as possible!
The team will then immediately change their route......
…………
Such a team of hundreds of people suddenly appeared on the icy and snowy street!
Naturally, it will attract the attention of those other survivors who are on the street......
Xia Jian: The speed at which they are advancing is not fast......
So......
When it first started. Everyone is just waiting and watching!
They weren't optimistic about this team......
To do this, when one. When two, three dark chasers appeared from the shadows of the buildings on the street and rushed towards the team, many people even wiped a sweat for this team in their hearts!
But then, the tragic scene they expected did not happen!
Those dark chasers who pounced on the team, without exception, all fell in a pool of blood and broke into several pieces!
Seeing this......
Someone finally noticed the difference in this team!
After hesitating for a long time, a girl finally trotted out from the buildings on both sides of the street, caught up with the team, and walked silently behind the team......
Man is an animal that likes to blindly obey! When the first one appeared, ran out of his hiding place, and joined the team, those who were still watching immediately moved!
Especially those who are already on the verge of getting by!!
Next......
A scene that Xia Jian didn't expect appeared!
As the team progresses......
He had only walked less than five or six miles away, and the team that had originally only had more than 300 people soon became more than 400 people!
And this number is increasing at a breakneck pace!
Regarding this situation, Xia Jian didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed!
Do you want to keep these people out of the line?
Surely it can't be......
Doesn't Xia Jian just want the population now?
Now that he saw so many people joining the team, he couldn't even be happy, how could he turn these people away!
But if these people are allowed to join, it obviously won't work!
Let's not talk about the number of people, it's not easy to manage!!
Just when the whole team reaches 1,000, the powerful attraction will become like a meat bun thrown into a pack of dogs!
It will definitely attract a lot of dark chasers!!
Think twice......
Xia Jian felt that on his own, no matter how powerful he was, his ability was limited, and he couldn't protect so many survivors!
After telling Ai Xiaoxue to register each survivor who joined, and explaining the precautions, he went to the roof where the mobile radio station was hidden last night!
Get in touch with Lenny Xu!
Let her come to her aid......
It may be a little troublesome for others to come!
But Xu Reni will definitely not have any problems!!
If you fly at full speed, it will be a few hours at most. You can dare to come......
And with Xu Leini patrolling in the air, the safety factor will undoubtedly be much greater!
However, things are developing. didn't wait for Xu Reni to come over, and once again surprised Xia Jian's expectations......
When Xu Leini was contacted, Xia Jian rushed back to the team again......
Unexpectedly, I found that the team that had been moving slowly in the snow was actually facing another team with nearly 100 people in an open field!
What's going on?
Xia Jian was confused on the spot!
Why did I leave for a while? Why do your own people seem to be about to do it with other forces?
………………
The two sides are facing each other in a clearing!
The two sides are tense, and the atmosphere is very tense!
Ai Xiaoxue's side. Everyone took out their weapons and broke them into pieces, scattered the various strategic points on this side of the street!!
It seems that in the end, it is in a cruel environment. Sharpen out the survivors!
Don't say anything else......
At least in terms of combat effectiveness. Much better than the survivors at Base 015!
As for the evolutionaries led by Wu Kai, Zhao Long and others!
At this time, they were even more together......
I think they also understand that in this kind of group battle, only by concentrating on the strength can they avoid the situation of being broken by the other party one by one!
On the other hand, look at the momentum on the other side......
Although the number of people is far less than that of Xia Jian's side.
But in terms of quality, it is much higher!
If nothing else, let's just say that in terms of members, Xia Jian's side is men, women, and children! And over there, although there are also men and women. But most of them are in the prime of life!
There are far more evolutionaries than here!
Just by looking at the past, Xia Jian found at least fifteen evolutionaries!!
The discovery. Xia Jian not only frowned......
In Pearl City, there is a potential force with as many as fifteen evolutionary beings!!
And it seems that these fifteen evolutionaries don't seem to be their full strength!
Why do you think so!
Just look at the composition of this group of people to see it.
However, even if there are really only ten evolutionaries, it can show that this potential is quite remarkable!!
Now the only thing that Xia Jian is happy about is that fortunately, he came back in time!
Otherwise......
If the two sides really fight, I finally gathered hundreds of people this time, and I am afraid that I will lose another seven, seven, eight, eight!!
……
In order for the situation to develop in a bad way, Xia Jian did not hesitate at the moment, immediately accelerated a few times, jumped a few times in mid-air, crossed a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant, and landed steadily in front of Ai Xiaoxue!
Be the heart of this team!
The appearance of Xia Jian has brought obvious benefits!
The difference in strength between the two teams can basically be distinguished by individuals!
Because of this, if the two sides compare, the morale of Xia Jian's team is undoubtedly much worse!
There are quite a few people who joined halfway, and even took advantage of the opportunity that no one noticed, and secretly left the team!
But with the advent of Xia Jian......
The morale of the whole team suddenly changed!
It's as if Xia Jian has brought everyone infinite confidence!!
And indeed it is!
Than people don't know the way, but the people who experienced last night's battle will still not know the way?
In their eyes, Xia Jian, an adult, is a strong man who can be easily slaughtered even by a general-level blood clan!
Do you care about these evolutionaries?
……
The change here immediately attracted the attention of the other party!!
If Xia Jian walked out of the side alone, he wouldn't let them pay attention to it at all!
After all, Xia Jian's aura is very restrained, but judging from his breath, if it weren't for his strength being higher than him, in the eyes of those ordinary evolutionaries, Xia Jian would be almost like an ordinary person without any strength!
Can ...... now
This ordinary person in their eyes not only broke out with a speed far beyond them!!
And his appearance also brought earth-shaking changes to the rabble on the other side, which can't help but be ignored!
Several people who looked like they were the leaders immediately gathered together, and they didn't know what they discussed......
Just a moment later, two people suddenly split from their ranks, trotted towards the complex behind them, and soon disappeared around a corner!
……………………
"What's wrong?"
At the same time, just when several leaders on the other side were gathering together to discuss something, Xia Jian was also asking Ai Xiaoxue in a low voice!
But Ai Xiaoxue's answer made Xia Jian very painful!
At least for that moment, it was very painful!
Seeing Ai Xiaoxue's face turned red, as if she had been greatly wronged, she whispered: "I don't know how to ...... way."
Don't know what to do?
As a party, as the temporary manager of the entire team, he is about to fight with others now, and he doesn't even know what happened to Lu Dao!
This......
Xia Jian found that he was completely speechless at the woman in front of him!
Fortunately, after Ai Xiaoxue saw Xia Jian's face turn pale, she found out that her answer was ambiguous in time, and quickly explained......
Originally......
You really can't blame this little girl for this matter!
The real situation is that when the little girl film, with the team, walked to this intersection according to the route set by Xia Jian before, this group of people suddenly rushed out of the nearby building.
And I don't do any communication......
As soon as they came out, these people set up a formation, completely in a posture of wanting to fight, giving people the feeling that they had been ambushing here, just waiting for Ai Xiaoxue and them to appear!
