Middle Earth, Changbai Mountain.

It used to be an important tourist attraction in the northeastern region of Middle-earth, and it was also the border area of Middle-earth.

But with the advent of the dark night era, the temperature plummeted, and Changbai Mountain, which was already inclined to cold, has already become a bitter cold place.

Even in summer, the maximum temperature here is only five or six degrees. In winter, it is common to have a temperature of minus tens of degrees.

After the bloody battle of Kyoto, Middle-earth contracted its defensive front, and Changbai Mountain became a place abandoned because of its remote location and low strategic value.

Later, the Great Qing Dynasty, which originated in the white water of Black Mountain, completely occupied this place.

The Tonghua Shelter Zone, near the Changbai Mountains, is the last shelter area on the border of Middle-earth.

Further north, there are more than a dozen shelters, but with the drastic changes in the environment, they are gradually no longer suitable for living people.

So within a year or two, the people in the northeast gradually moved south, until they retreated to the area of the Great Wall defense line.

The Tonghua Shelter Area is the last group on the list of southward migrations.

At this time, the shelter area has long been covered by wind and snow, and there are abandoned buildings and discarded debris everywhere.

Several heavy trucks were nervously carrying supplies to the trucks under the light of searchlights.

A security guard in a combat uniform shouted: "Hurry up! Hurry up! In two days at most, the light and shadow rune protection will be completely turned off here! ”

"The bulky equipment that can't be taken away is temporarily mothballed! Take away as much as you can take away the daily necessities! ”

"The eternal night is coming! Candles, gasoline, steel, tools, food, are all urgently needed within the Great Wall defense line! Don't waste anything! ”

The old and weak women and children had already followed the first batch of vehicles to the interior, leaving only the able-bodied men to carry and seal the supplies.

Everything that can be taken away is sent to heavy trucks, and naturally there are special drivers who leave along the national highway.

Everything that can't be taken is sealed in the warehouse, waiting for the day when Middle-earth is victorious, and then return to unpack the inventory and continue building the city.

But no one can guarantee that they will see this day in the future.

Suddenly, several vigilantes walked briskly in the snow, and they walked up to the leading vigilante captain, hurriedly saluted, and said, "Captain! ”

"On the way back, there are corpse soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty!"

"There are not many of them, only more than three hundred, judging from the flag, it should be under the command of the blue flag! Some of the Demon Suppressors had already taken the initiative to greet us, but the Demon Suppressors told us that there should only be one day left for us to retreat safely. ”

The face of the captain of the security brigade sank, and the two-day retreat time was barely able to complete the task.

If it's only one day, let alone supplies, I'm afraid that even people won't be able to completely evacuate.

The captain pondered for a moment and said, "Order!" All the materials that are moved out of the warehouse are loaded on the truck! If there is no portrayal, seal it on the spot! ”

"After two hours, everyone stopped what they were doing, got in the car and prepared to leave!"

"What about Archon Zhang?"

An old man in a military coat walked over quickly, he spat out a white ha, and said, "I'm here!" ”

"Captain Liu, two hours is far from enough! If we leave early, we have lost too much! ”

Captain Liu said patiently: "Your Excellency, our retreat has already appeared with corpse soldiers with blue flags. You know, this group of guys is the vanguard of the Great Qing Dynasty, if they intercept it, everyone will count one as one, and no one will be able to escape! ”

"The chief said that in the face of materials and human lives, people must always be chosen!"

The old man was silent for a while, and then said, "Give me one more hour!" Within three hours, we immediately retreated! ”

Captain Liu said helplessly: "Okay! That's three hours! ”

"Tell the research department! After three hours, get ready to dismantle the Light and Shadow Rune Device! We'll still need this thing on the road! ”

Time is pressing, and the sanctuary is busy.

Heavy trucks in the front four and eight in the back were loaded with supplies and personnel, speeding along the snow-covered highway in the direction of the Great Wall.

The long convoy slowly moved forward in the darkness, and every other distance, a rune of light and shadow flashed red on the road, which was used to guide the convoy.

The men were wrapped in military coats and sat in the carriage, leaning on the large number of retreating materials in the carriage.

In order to resist the cold, they all used scarves to cover their faces tightly, revealing only their two eyes.

Some were crying quietly, others were staring towards the sanctuary.

They all know that they don't know when they will be able to return to their hometown.

Maybe you can't go back in this life.

At this time, two figures suddenly appeared in the streets of the shelter area.

Compared to the locals, the clothes they wore were not heavy, and there were traces of runes on them.

One of the men in black kept his eyes closed, but he exuded a look of no one to enter.

The other young man's face was very pale, and the yang energy on his body was relatively weak. It's like recovering from a serious illness.

These two people are naturally strong men from Xiayi, and Zhang Jiusin, who was taken captive.

Because they were dressed very differently from the locals, the appearance of the two quickly attracted the attention of the local vigilantes.

The leading captain walked over quickly, and he said loudly, "Are the two folk exorcists from the mainland?" ”

"Is there a merit medal?"

The man in the black robe was still silent with his eyes closed, but the young man with a very pale face smiled and said, "Are you the person in charge of the Tonghua Shelter?" ”

"We are the exorcists of the Ludong Tie family, and we came to the north on a business trip under the order of Tie Henglian, the guard of Ludong Town."

"This is our merit badge, please check."

The young man handed over two black iron medals, and the captain of the security guard carefully examined them, returned them to the other party, and then saluted.

"I'm Liu Tiequan, temporarily serving as the captain of the security forces in the Tonghua Shelter Area."

"Two, further on, there is an enemy-occupied area, where there are corpse soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty."

"No supplies, no rune protection, no human reinforcements. That's where even the red battle flag can't cover it. ”

"If you two don't have any urgent tasks, you'd better not go deeper."

The young man smiled bitterly: "If we have a choice, we don't want to go to this kind of place." But the head of the family has an order, and we have to do our best to do it as our subordinates. ”

"If you can't complete the mission, you will die over there."

Liu Tiequan said with a straight face: "That's right. Since such a task has been given from above, it definitely has its own reasons. ”

"Also, the Tonghua Shelter Area is about to be completely evacuated, the materials here will be sealed, and the light and shadow rune equipment will all be dismantled and brought back."

"Is there anything you two would like to add? We will do everything we can to help you. ”
