Chapter 199: Time Box

Then the signal I received should have been sent by them a year ago, and the two of them were also people from a year ago.

There are two possibilities for this situation, one is that they have traveled to the present day a year later, and the other is that their time is different from the speed of time in the outside world.

I thought about it and dismissed the first possibility, because I also went into that cave and brought them out, and the footprints in the cave were obviously not new, so it was unlikely that they had crossed over.

I believe in the second possibility, the two seem to be packed into a time box, and the time flow in the box is different from the outside.

Therefore, what they encounter is only a matter of time speed, not space transformation, which is similar to the legend of one day in the sky and one year on earth.

The surprise of the two of them was not inferior to mine, and I was somewhat mentally prepared, and it was a little difficult for them to accept this fact as a party.

I saw that they didn't believe it, so I turned on the radio and dialed all the numbers that had been broadcast in the past.

They listened to the same electric sound on the radio and looked skeptical, so I said, "You can take my car to the nearest city, and if you can get in touch with the organization, it would be great, and I wish you a miracle." ”

There are not half a population in the city, there are no telephones, and it is unknown whether the department they belong to is still or not.

My car was stuffed with sleeping bags, tents, and miscellaneous things, and I was the only one, so I didn't look like a suspicious person, so they agreed without much hesitation.

The two of them helped each other to squeeze into the back seat of the car, I moved some of my things to the passenger side, and looked at the map, the nearest city takes an hour to drive, although it is a small county town, but it is enough to prove everything.

Gu Yu didn't let me drive at night, thinking that there should be no accidents after only driving for an hour, so I started the car and drove towards the small county town.

A county town of tens of thousands of people is now a paradise for mutant beasts, with birds nesting on the rooftops of buildings, and a group of dog-like but two-headed, fierce-eyed creatures running through the streets.

Big cats with sharp claws poke their heads out of the streetside shops, their golden eyes glinting with a cold glow.

"Is that a leopard? How does it have rhino horns on its head? The young man couldn't hold his breath, and he couldn't hide the surprise on his face when he saw the four-winged birds and the mutated animals with two heads and horns.

"It's a cat." I kindly gave him a science popularization, and pointed to the roof of a three-story building, where there was a big bird with a sharp beak like a hook, black head and white wings, and as large as a vulture, standing on the edge of the rooftop, "That's a magpie." ”

The young man's mouth opened wide, he must have felt a deep malice from the new world, and I looked at his hand and subconsciously touched his waist, but it was empty.

"Can you tell us more about what happened?" The older man asked in a very polite tone.

"Let's go back to the car." I used my mental power to suppress the mutant beasts around me, and they pounced without encountering anyone, and it was not good to use two minds, so I dragged the two of them back to the off-road vehicle.

The three of them blew the warm breeze of the early summer night, chatting about their experiences, the older man was called Fang Xu, and the younger one was called Miao Xiaoran, the two omitted the content of the task, and only said that they received an order at the end of June last year to enter this mountainous area, protect a person, and do one thing.

In fact, there were six of them, and on June 29, they dug through the cave under the boulder, and climbed into the cave with enough food and water to eat for seven days.

Since I had already seen the cave, they had nothing to keep secret about it, and they didn't say why they went down or what they were going down for.

I asked them where the sixth man was, if he had died in another cave, because there were two passages behind the stone plate, and I took the one on the right.

Fang Xu shook his head: "No, she's not dead, she's out." ”

Miao Xiaoran nodded and said, "Yes, she walked out of another stone plate, just, that's... Then we went out, but we tried so many times that we couldn't wear it at all. ”

I understood what they meant, and asked, "You mean that the man went straight through the stone plate as if he had passed through the wall?" ”

This time, the two of them nodded in unison, and I asked again, "When you went in, didn't you wear it in?" ”

Fang Xu said: "Yes, she took us in when we went in." ”

I stared at their expressions, Miao Xiaoran didn't know how to hide his emotions, he had an angry look on his face, and I guessed that the man had left them behind when he went out.

"I thought her spells were already very powerful, but I didn't expect your abilities to be even better, suddenly appearing and disappearing." Miao Xiaoran sighed.

Fang Xu glanced at Miao Xiaoran, I caught a word from Miao Xiaoran's words, spell, he should have indirectly exposed the details of the mission.

Miao Xiaoran was taken back to his senses by Fang Xu's glance, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly shut up, I knew that they still had concerns, and it was not necessary to inquire about their tasks, so I took over the conversation, and slowly talked about the changes in the world from the outbreak of the disaster last year.

Until dawn, neither of them closed their eyes, and my words were finished in the second half of the night, but it is estimated that the content is too exciting for them to calm down.

Fang Xu and Miao Xiaoran are both northerners, and their home is also here, after listening to me talk about the current situation, Fang Xu is silent, and Miao Xiaoran is anxious to go home and make sure that his parents are safe.

The two of them stared at each other until dawn, and I pretended to sleep, and I didn't identify the zombie in front of them.

After daybreak, I picked some wild fruits, and ate some with them, and I asked them what their plans were, and if they were going to Xindu, then we would leave it at that, and if they wanted to find a temporary place to stay, I would welcome them to the town.

Miao Xiaoran is Fang Xu's soldier, strictly speaking, their task has not been completed, at least they should report to their superiors and end this matter, so now the decision is in Fang Xu's hands.

Of course, if their superiors were still alive, I told them last night that the leaders of the new capital are no longer the same group as they used to be.

Fang Xu decided to go to Xindu to confirm that he had not experienced what we had experienced, and he still retained the mentality before the disaster, the task was bigger than the sky, for him, he was only trapped for seven days, and it was difficult for him to accept the fact that the order had collapsed for a while, I understood his insistence, so I didn't say more.

"Now that a lot of people have abilities, the possibility of being robbed in the wild is very high, so it's best for the two of you not to go separately."

"Thank you."

"Take two sleeping bags, grab a tent, and don't spend the night outside, you've seen mutated animals, and the Adepts have a hard time dealing with them."

The two of them pulled out a tent and carried two sleeping bags, and I gave them the route map to Xindu, and Miao Xiaoran thanked them gratefully.

"You're welcome, that's all I can do, good luck to you."

Going back to the small city and going to the new are in the opposite direction, we said goodbye at a crossroads, Fang Xu took two steps, suddenly turned around, looked at me and said:

"What if... You meet a woman named Red Night around here, and if she is also from a year ago, please give this to her. ”

As he spoke, he threw something over, and I quickly caught it, and found that it was a parchment roll, and he said that he had taken it from Red Night's backpack, and the first thing I heard about this familiar name was to ask which two words it was.

There are many women called red leaves, but Fang Xu said that it was the night of the night, not the leaves of the leaves, and he described several physical characteristics.

I'm almost sure that the person he's talking about is the one Gu Yu knows, and now the person who is in turmoil has been replaced by me.

Red Night came to Yuanbao Mountain a year ago, and left Fang Xu and Miao Xiaoran to run away by himself.

Since she was still there before the disaster broke out, her situation must be different from Fang Xu and the others, and she returned to the army normally after she went out of Shipan.

Based on my trust in Gu Yu, I don't believe that Red Night will leave Fang Xu and them for no reason, there may be something hidden in it.

Red Night is someone Gu Yu knows after all, and it doesn't matter if I collect things for her, I took the parchment roll and stuffed it into my pocket.

As I drove back to the town, the vegetable fields planted in the walls were already green, the greenhouses were not idle, and the walls on the street were drying bunches of dried vegetables, and with generators and oil, much of the construction work was speedy.

However, the materials for the fortifications have not yet been gathered, the progress of this major project is slow, and the manpower of the small city is insufficient, but fortunately, the camp received a group of Cong Tianyi's comrades-in-arms before the corpse tide came, and they were also fated to meet again in the process of their respective exiles, and everyone survived.

I parked my car at the gate, and they put down their work and offered to help me unload my things, and I was very satisfied with their ability to work.

They are the first batch of soldiers who awaken their abilities, and they are specifically responsible for the security of the leaders in the security zone, to put it bluntly, they are guards, with the increase of the number of abilities, the level of abilities increases, their advantages are less and less obvious, and the work of the guards is replaced by higher-level abilities, and they are incorporated into the search team or hunting team.

Later, resources were scarce and competition was fierce, and the search team was no longer faced with zombies, but with the abilities of other forces, who were more difficult to deal with than zombies, and the price they paid was miserable. As for the hunting party, the mutant beasts became more and more ferocious and powerful, and they often went out for three days and three nights with only one wound.

For them, searching for supplies and hunting are tasks, and failure to do so is punishable, and if there are too many of them, they will be expelled.

Although the town is remote, there are still survivors who stumble upon it, some preparing to take refuge in the forest, others looking for food.

Like Cong Tianyi's companions, they were about to go to the forest area to hunt small mutant beasts before they accidentally discovered here, they were lucky to arrive here before the corpse tide, otherwise it would be miserable.

This time Gu Yu didn't come out to pick me up, I was about to go to the hotel to find him, Long Tao ran over, he was followed by Mei Lin, who had recovered, Miss Mei was a blessing in disguise, experienced a life and death, awakened the healing ability, every time the town sent someone into the mountains to hunt, she would follow.

We only learned after she woke up that her brother escaped from the mine with his strangers that day, and had already thrown off the lava zombies, but on the way back, he encountered a group of bandits, the other party's strength was strong, and Mei Shao's side had just finished a tough battle with the zombies.

After the fierce battle, only a small number of people remained on their side, and the bandits occupied the mining area, Mei Shao took her and the rest of her men around looking for a place to stay.

On the same day that she appeared near the town with her wounded, they ran into another camp again, and the two sides fought over two boxes of instant noodles.

Mei Shao fell from the bridge into the river, life and death were unpredictable, Mei Lin escaped by the only three remaining abilities, and the three people on the road were also killed, and she was rescued by us.

I thought she would resent us, after all, she and her brother were chased by zombies and had something to do with us, but she just sighed as a teenager, saying that her brother was doing a high-risk business, and sooner or later something would happen, but we were willing to save her, which surprised her.

It may only take a day for a little girl to grow up, and this way of growing up is often tragic.
