The desertified wasteland, occasionally dotted with a few patches of dull moss, the only road winds through it, flanked by cliff-like landscapes, and the jagged forts, and if you look closely, you can see the ruins of the former city, mixed with the remains of mechas, turned into ruins, hidden in this fire net.

At the end of the numerous forts are towering walls hundreds of meters high, like dragons, cutting through the geographical space.

At this moment, in a clearing under the wall, the ground disappeared without warning, and a shockwave containing strong energy erupted from the ground, piercing through the void, and finally diffusing into the vast heavenly dome.

At the source of the shock wave, a large hole about one meter in diameter appeared in the ground.

A thin figure jumped out of the hole, it was Zhou Zhen!

As soon as his feet set foot on the ground, he had already glanced around quickly, and the scene here was easily recognizable, with a towering barbed wire fence that firmly separated the road from the wilderness on both sides.

The automatic turrets crossed out a network of firepower without dead ends, firmly blocking this area.

Not far behind him was the high wall that encircled Tongfu City.

Zhou Zhen is now out of Tongfu City!

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Zhou Zhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he directly used the [Fusion Cube] to dig the tunnel from the ground.

There is a "digital rain", and the "number" problem on the high wall is the same as if there is none.

In a flash of thought, Zhou Zhen immediately raised his hand and knocked down a broken wall next to him, and the remaining section of the floor slab roared down, spanning the hole like a beam.

The broken bricks and the remnants of reinforced concrete crumbled and fell, like the sound of a violent storm, and large pieces of wreckage crossed over the mouth of the cave, and the other smaller walls were like tiles, patched together, burying a small part of the fresh hole.

Ping Pong ......

With Zhou Zhen's repeated moves, the originally small hole was quickly covered up temporarily, as if it were just an ordinary construction waste heap.

When he was digging a hole on the other side just now, the hole there was also blocked by him with something, and he also made a lot of traces of the infestation of infected people nearby.

Normally, no one would approach it casually.

Soon, Zhou Zhen finished everything, he didn't stay here for too long, and after making sure that the cover at the entrance of the cave did not leave any flaws, he immediately used [Plane Jump] and disappeared quietly.

The wind blows from afar, and the sand and gravel whirl and whirl on the ground that lacks vegetation.

There was silence all around.

Not long after, the roar of a car was heard in the distance, and an off-road pickup truck was speeding all the way, slamming on the side of the barbed wire near the hole that Zhou Zhen had just come out of, and the tires immediately dragged two pitch-black marks on the road.

Bang bang bang!

Amid the sound of the car door opening and closing, four uniformed officials jumped out of the pickup truck almost simultaneously, holding various instruments in their hands, and walked to the barbed wire.

Their expressions were solemn, and their eyes looked through the barbed wire, vigilantly looking at the ground nearby.

The official at the head looked at him like a falcon, he glanced at the value of the instrument in his hand, quickly put it away, looked around the left and right, and said in a deep voice: "The 'digital energy' that was detected just now is here!" ”

"The strength of the 'digital energy' is not low, it may be a compatible person of the 'fourth tier', or it may be an infected person in the [advanced stage]!"

"With this as the center, every inch of the place can not be missed, be serious, and don't let go of any clues!"

※※※

The humid air is filled with the unique fragrance of plants and trees.

It's a suburban highway with good greenery on both sides and occasional water sources, unlike the rusty lakes in Tongfu City, which are clear and lively, and you can see some fish and shrimp living in them, which seems to be vibrant.

Step, step, step......

The sound of subtle footsteps sounded, and Zhou Zhen's figure quietly appeared on the edge of the road.

After walking a little, he stopped and glanced around.

This is the highway he took when he first went to Tongfu City, and in this day and age, there seem to be very few people driving across the city.

Whether it was the last trip or this time back to Binhai City, there were no vehicles on the road.

Last time, there was a military off-road vehicle sent by Lu Jun to travel, but this time there was no means of transportation, and Zhou Zhen used [Plane Jump] all the way to get here.

At this moment, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, the nine-hour countdown, and there were still four hours left.

This place is administratively demarcated from the city of Binhai, and it is about ten minutes away on foot normally.

Except for the time he had previously delayed in Tongfu City, Zhou Zhen only took about an hour to rush from Tongfu City to Binhai City this time, including a break halfway.

And the last time the ghost team sent him from Binhai City to Tongfu City, it took more than ten hours......

Of course, such a big time gap is mainly because of Zhou Zhen's particularity.

Ordinary "Fourth Tier" compatibles, even if they have a "digital domain" suitable for traveling, do not have as much "digital energy" as he squanders, and cannot use the "digital domain" continuously like him to carry out such long-distance movements.

He stopped now, not because the "digital energy" was not enough, but because it was quite possible that the city of Primorsky had now been officially blocked.

If you continue to move forward like this, you may teleport directly to the official face.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen no longer used the "digital domain" to hurry, but moved his legs and walked forward.

As his mind turned, the digital domain [Plane Transition] that was being used was also changed to the digital domain [Hidden Eavesdropping].

In an instant, countless noisy shouts poured into his ears like a flood from a burst bank.

"Boom...... ......"

"Call the stretcher! Call the stretcher! Repeat: Phase III of Xiyuan Community, urgently needs to transport injured people on stretchers......"

"Boom...... ......"

"Help, help! Help!! ”

"Boom...... ......"

"Hey...... Hey, hey, hey...... Better...... That's a lot of sheep...... I'm going to have a good time! ”

Zhou Zhen walked along the road with a flat expression, his gaze looking ahead was slightly distracted, and his attention was focused on carefully identifying the approximate location of the source of the sound.

After less than twenty minutes, Zhou Zhen finally saw the boundary of Binhai City.

A curtain of water rises abruptly here, blocking the way into the city of Marina.

It's just that this force field is obviously not the kind of super-large force field generator that is enough to block a city.

It was like a pale curtain hanging in the wilderness, and the thin curtain of water was almost impossible to see the state of the water's energy, as if it was just a fragile bubble that would burst when you poked it.

In the open space behind the water curtain, more than a dozen officials sweated profusely, and they couldn't even bother to open their tents, scrambling to operate a bunch of improvised wiring machines.

Judging from the appearance of those machines, it seems that several conventional force fields have been temporarily disassembled, and the current force field has been combined, barely isolating Binhai City from the outside world.

In the field of view of [Energy Observation], the "digital energy" of these officials is very weak, and they are only compatible with the "first tier" and "second tier".

They had two ape-shaped mechs around them, as well as a few guns thrown on the ground that they had no time to care about, and the heavy firepower was clearly not yet in place.

In the monitoring of [Hidden Eavesdropping], the conversations of those official personnel came to Zhou Zhen's ears very clearly.

"Boss, the reinforced ghost team, and the heavy firepower, when will it arrive?"

"It's not in vain! Count on reinforcements for everything, how can you not count on yourself! ”

"I thought! But in the current situation, how can we keep this boundary with a few of us? ”

"Binhai City is only abnormal, not a high-risk city now, even if the ghost team comes, it will definitely enter the city center first to save people...... Don't talk so much, hurry up and take a look, how to connect these lines to maximize the effect of the force field? ”

"I didn't transplant my memories of that...... You wait for me to check it out in the database! ”

"Is there any salvation in the city center? The daughter of one of my comrades-in-arms attends a primary school in the city center......"

"Don't patronize the force field, but also look at the energy detector, when the infected person touches the front of him, do you still hold the force field to die?"

Zhou Zhen stood in the distance and listened quietly, knowing in his heart that the real situation in Binhai City may be worse than what he saw when he watched the short video before!

His location was very hidden, and while those officials were concentrating on debugging the equipment, he directly used [Plane Jump] to teleport into the force field.

This temporary force field wall is thin in energy and has a weak effect.

The official personnel who were gathering in front of the screen to carefully observe various data did not notice Zhou Zhen's entry at all.

The instruments that were piled up on the floor were all very quiet, and no alarm was raised.

※※※

Marina City.

Suburbs.

One of the satellite towns, Dumu Town.

In the early years, it was an industrial town in Binhai City, with a number of heavy industry factories, convenient and busy transportation, and later with the relocation of heavy industry, light industry replaced it, and the town was lined with factories, and the pollution index once exploded.

Later, after repeated renovations and the construction of themed gardens around the town, the environment changed.

At this moment, Zhou Zhen's figure quietly appeared on the back of a factory.

He glanced at the unfamiliar surroundings and the address at the beginning of Binhai City on a sign in the distance with a factory building standing in the air, and nodded slightly.

It's time to enter Marina City!

Now, let's go to Xie Qiongning first to find out the general situation of Binhai City.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhen identified the direction, and was about to walk in the direction of the headquarters of Hongshan Group, when a somewhat sharp girl's voice suddenly came from not far away: "Crazy!! ”

"All crazy!"

"What are we going to do?!"

The sound, which was supposed to be very crisp, had changed its tone at the moment, full of fragility and collapse.

Zhou Zhen's figure that was about to move suddenly stopped, and he immediately turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

There was no one in that location, only a small tree that could be seen at a glance, and next to the tree was the entrance to a small alley.

Just as Zhou Zhen was observing, another young man's voice sounded: "Don't be afraid! ”

"We can get out of the city in front, we can leave the city immediately, and when the time comes, we will be safe......"

Hearing this, Zhou Zhen immediately understood that this should be a couple who wanted to escape outside the city after discovering that something had happened in Binhai City.

Realizing this, he immediately turned around and walked towards the alley.

Dumu Town belongs to the edge of Binhai City, and it is not far from the force field that Binhai City has just temporarily laid.

If the couple's state is still normal, he just happened to save the two of them.

However, Zhou Zhen had just taken two steps, and before he came to the entrance of the alley, the voice of the woman inside came again: "You, you are crazy too?" ”

"Why are we going out of town?"

The young man's voice replied in confusion: "There are so many people who are infected now, let's go out of the city to escape!" ”

The female voice suddenly laughed, and said with a hint of disgust: "You are so stupid! ”

"We're kangaroos, not human......"

Listening to it, Zhou Zhen suddenly realized that something was wrong, his figure flashed, and he appeared in the alley in an instant.

This is an alley sandwiched between two adjacent factories, between the off-white factories, paved with light gray cement slates, on both sides of the slate, there are some knee-high grass flowers, are blooming brightly.

In the depths of the alley, a pair of young men and women still wearing factory uniforms are reluctantly hugging each other.

From the outside, there is nothing wrong with this young man and woman, and it looks very normal.

At this moment, the girl hugged the boy tightly with both hands, her cheeks were against his chest, and the boy's eyes were full of doting smiles, he lowered his head and pursed his lips slightly, as if he wanted to kiss the girl's face!

Zhou Zhen immediately stepped forward, stretched out his arm, pressed one person's shoulder with one hand, and then with a little force, he instantly lifted the girl who looked undeformed and flew out directly!

Bang!

The girl's face was still shy leaning on her sweetheart's arms, and she fell heavily to the ground at this moment, letting out an extremely miserable scream in pain.

Zhou Zhen looked at this girl with a beautiful face coldly, the other party should be infected, but I don't know if it can be treated.

So, he didn't make a dead move.

With his mind racing, Zhou Zhen turned to the young boy behind him, and was about to open his mouth to explain, when he saw the young boy who was still holding his girlfriend's posture move his lips, and asked in a female voice full of melancholy: "Why are you kangaroo so unreasonable?!" ”

"Okay, why did you hit my father-in-law!"

Zhou Zhen was stunned.

At this time, the girl who was thrown out by him also held on to the ground, staggered to her feet, quickly pointed to the boy who seemed to be about to step forward to help, and said in a typical young male voice: "Don't go near her!" ”

"My girlfriend is infected!"

"We're not kangaroos at all!"

"We're all big buffaloes!"

As she spoke, the girl immediately raised her hands above her head, bent her fingers into the shape of horns, bent down, slashed her feet on the ground a few times, and then slammed into Zhou Zhen with a fierce head!

Looking at this extremely abnormal scene, Zhou Zhen immediately reacted.

The will of these two people has been infected!

Bang bang......

Zhou Zhen punched one by one, directly knocking both of them to the ground.

Immediately after, he quickly left the alley and walked towards the downtown CBD, where the Hongshan Group is located.

"Liar! You are all liars! A middle-aged man scolded and pulled out the holly tree in the green belt, buried himself in it, and while burying it, he looked at Zhou Zhen who was passing by with vigilance, as if he was afraid that he would snatch his pit, "Our mulberry trees are plants, and of course plants should be planted in the soil!" ”

"Otherwise, I'll die!!"

On another bridge, an angler was taking out all the spare fishing hooks, skewering his skin and flesh little by little with great seriousness, and then jumped off the bridge, and the sharp hooks instantly ripped off most of his skin!

The angler fell into the lake in blood, but his face was full of smiles: "My exclusive secret bait can definitely explode ......"

Next to several cars that collided with each other and were badly deformed, only most of the wounded were left to pick and choose among the falling car parts on the ground, and each time they hit one, they would go to themselves: "This is mine...... This is also my ......."

"Hey...... I've got an extra arm......"

"It's all mine!"

"Every one is my hand......"

Zhou Zhen strode through the chaotic long street, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

He had already walked seven or eight streets at the moment, and he had not met a single normal person!

I hope Team Lu and Uncle He are okay......

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone rang suddenly.

Jingle Bell ......

Zhou Zhen picked up the mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, which was a string of garbled characters.

He didn't hesitate, and picked it up directly: "Hey, which one?" ”

The next moment, a familiar hearty voice came from the phone: "It's me, Luo Yuchen." ”
