Gray City Base.

In the huge space underneath the parking lot.

A group of figures wearing thick protective clothing were standing quietly in front of three corpses lying on the ground.

The dark space is surrounded by gray and black concrete walls. The only light source is the safety lights hung on the wall at intervals. Green safety lights, stiff corpses, and cold air with a slight odor.

Together they established the fact that this base was about to reach a desperate situation. Everyone put their hands gently on their hearts and mourned in silence.

"The temperature is too low... We just rely on conventional measures to keep warm, and we can't bear it any longer." One person said in a low voice.

"If this continues, even breathing will become a serious problem, and part of the gas in the air will freeze and liquefy..." Another person said, "When I went out for inspection yesterday, I already felt some difficulty breathing."

"Without the sun, the temperature is extremely low, and the oxygen is getting less and less. It is an inevitable fact." The person standing at the front said, his voice was cold and indifferent, it was Zhang Kaijun. "Is there anything the scientific research department can do? If this continues, one person can't help it. I can't live!" Someone couldn't help but said anxiously.

"The oxygen supply equipment has been made, but it cannot be made portable. There are too many missing things and it is difficult to produce." Zhang Kaijun answered. "Can't you just get a plastic bag to put it in?" the person before said helplessly.

"Yes, but plastic bags can't do it." Zhang Kaijun answered. He reached out and took out a bunch of transparent plastic bags from his pocket, rubbed it gently and clicked.

The plastic bag that was supposed to be soft was just crushed into pieces by him. Everyone was silent.

"From now on, in accordance with the low-temperature response plan given by the Ministry of Science and Technology, each isolation room must maintain electric heating 24 hours a day. The cooling water pipes of nuclear power motors are not enough to withstand low temperatures in all areas." Zhang Zhangjun ordered.

"What if we go somewhere else?" one woman couldn't help but ask.

"Hundreds of people are freezing to death every day in Aurora City. They are also trying their best to take insulation measures. If they want to go out and seek refuge elsewhere, most people will die at the hands of black disasters encountered on the road." Zhang Kaijun answered.

"Where's Mr. Yu from the Black Wind Camp?"

"The Black Wind Camp has been under siege recently, and the Eternal Life Association has targeted him. The stone fortress in the camp has been destroyed, and the living environment is not enough to ensure safety." Zhang Kaijun continued to answer.

"But if we continue like this, we won't be able to hold on for long." The woman said with a hint of despair in her tone. "The black disaster continues to invade, and even our weapons will begin to become unusable. If the temperature becomes lower.

"If you can't change your appearance, then try to change yourself." Zhang Kaijun said calmly. He turned around and faced everyone.

"Completely transform into enhanced humans in batches. Once we all become enhanced humans, our resistance to temperature will be much higher. At the same time, the only passage to the outside will be completely sealed. The supplies stockpiled in advance are enough for us to consume for at least ten years now."

Everyone present was stunned by his words.

It is known that enhanced people will shorten their lifespan and change their temperament. But if you don't adapt now, you may not be able to survive even next month. From this point of view, becoming an enhanced person may be the only way to cope with it.

solution.

For a moment, everyone fell into silence.

January 2023.

Yu Hong reached out and gently wrote down the current time.

It has been more than half a year since he came to this world.

Putting down his notebook, he glanced at the silver crescent mark on his left hand. The newly enhanced Call of the Moon gave him the qualification to choose the summoned individual he wanted. This was the powerful result obtained by the Black Seal after purifying the original Call of the Moon.

Secret method. The secret method from Wuji Demon Palace.

Less than half an hour had passed since the last attack. It was almost time to head to the wooden bridge and deal with this black ship invasion as soon as possible. He put on his equipment, stood up and scanned all the furnishings in the cave.

In order to solve the Yongsheng Association's lure attack on the camp, one solution is to enhance the concealment and defensiveness of the camp, so that the black disaster cannot be detected, so that the Association cannot locate the place, and then relocate it later.

The second is to deal with the association individuals who put the bait in advance. The third is to offset the bait. Click to open the door.

He walked out of the cave and closed it behind his back.

Taking a deep breath, a ball of snow suddenly exploded under my feet.

A few seconds later, the others came to the back of the cave again, turned on the atomic lamp, and illuminated the hazy wooden bridge behind.

The wooden bridge is still dilapidated and gray, but Yu Hong has built guardrails on both sides. It looks more formal, and it looks like a pier trestle. Phew.

Yu Hong sprayed white air from both sides of the breathing valve, stepped onto the wooden bridge, and walked deeper step by step. He walked in the black mist, and soon came to the decaying and dark large black ship again.

He jumped and landed on the deck.

The black ship also slowly left the pier, along the wide black water river, speeding away towards the black fog in the distance. The ship's hull bumped and swayed in the black water. After traveling for more than ten minutes, the fog finally dispersed in front of it. A pier made of gray-white rocks

, appears in view.

Behind the pier is a large piece of gray-white rock land, which seems to be a white island made entirely of rocks. It is quiet, filled with mist, surrounded by black water, and deserted.

Bang.

The black ship came gently to the shore and hit the wooden pilings of the pier.

Yu Hong skillfully jumped off the black ship and landed on the hard rocky ground of the dock. He squatted down and touched the surface with his hand.

The surface was hard and rough, as if countless sands were fixed and unable to move, and it was a bit painful to touch. He stood up and took a few steps forward.

There is a sign on the ground on the right. Prison Island

The sign is made of metal, with a yellowish background, and a lot of paint has fallen off the edge, revealing a brown background. Three Chinese characters were played from the translator, causing Yu Hong to pause slightly.

Prison? A place where something is imprisoned? He frowned slightly.

Keep walking forward. The fog disperses ahead.

On the island more than ten meters away, a huge gray and black wall blocked his way forward.

On both sides of the high wall, the mist extended into the invisible end. There was also no end visible from above, as if it were endless. Yu Hong carefully sensed the surroundings and made sure that there was no living thing, so he approached the high wall.

Walking to the wall, he stretched out his hand and gently touched the wall.

The rough, cold, hard, and very ordinary feeling of stone came back to his mind. He picked up his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, but there was no smell at all.

Bang.

Suddenly, Yu Hong clenched his fist and hit the wall.

His fist hit the wall hard, causing a piece of rubble to explode, but that was all.

The hardness of the wall was far beyond his imagination. Apart from a shallow fist mark, there was no change. The source must be found and the core of the island must be found, otherwise the erosion of the wooden bridge formation will not stop.

Yu Hong looked around, exerted force on his feet, suddenly accelerated, and rushed to the left. The whistling wind kept ringing in his ears.

In the mist ahead, the high wall continued to stretch, as if there was no end in sight. After running for five minutes at a stretch, Yu Hong stopped at his feet.

If you keep running like this, if you still can't find the edge, you'll be in trouble when you return.

He scanned the surroundings again, and after confirming that it was still empty, quiet and deserted, he continued to focus on the high wall. His eyes continued to wander around the high wall, looking for clues.

Soon, he discovered a small black window, located on the wall more than thirty meters above the ground. The window was round, and when viewed from the bottom up, it was not very clear what was inside.

Yu Hong glanced around, grasped the rough surface of the high wall with his palms, and the spikes popped out of the boots under his feet, and he stabbed hard, piercing into the wall a little bit. Then, he climbed up little by little, and slowly approached the wall. Open a window.

Although he might be able to reach it by jumping up, Yu Hong still planned to approach slowly and observe slowly. His fingers picked out the stone powder and scattered it.

Two minutes later, Yu Hong climbed under the circular window. Bang.

He grabbed the outer edge of the window with his right hand, used his strength to move upwards, and slowly moved his gaze upwards to look into the window. Inside the window, there was a piece of thick, blurry glass installed.

The inside of the glass was covered with white dust and stains, and you could only vaguely see a room inside. A simple room that resembled a prison.

Dark and empty, a row of black metal rusty poles forms the prison door. The door and windows are facing each other.

Through the prison door, you can see a dark horizontal prison passage outside. Dong Dong.

Yu Hong reached out and knocked on the glass, trying to break it with force.

But the strange thing is that with his current strength, he couldn't break the glass even if he tried to increase his strength. He hit it several times in a row and even used his inner energy to confirm that it couldn't be broken.

He turned around and planned to check somewhere else. Dong Dong.

Suddenly, someone was knocking on the glass inside the window. Yu Hong was stunned and stepped forward to look through the glass again.

A pale face with messy hair appeared on the inside of the glass window, showing him an anxious look. The other person was also tapping the glass with his hand, and seemed to be saying something in his mouth, but no sound was heard at all. Yu Hong touched I touched the translator, but this time the translator did not give any response.

He stretched out his hand and touched the edge of the glass window, trying to find a gap, but unfortunately the edges of the window were tightly sealed and seamless. "Hey, can you hear me?" Yu Hong said loudly against the glass.

But the man opposite shook his head and pointed at his ears to express that he couldn't hear anything.

Yu Hong glanced at the detector on his collar. The value on it was only one or two hundred, which was obviously unqualified for a wooden bridge that could corrode the base formation. If the red value was so small, the formation would not be so Easily eroded.

Obviously the other party is not the source.

He thought for a moment, then continued to climb up. He crossed the circular window and went all the way up.

The thumping sound was soon forgotten by him. Up, up, up.

Yu Hong didn't stop for a moment, his speed got faster and faster, and his height got higher and higher.

He didn't know how high he had climbed. He just felt that when he lowered his head and looked down, below was an endless sea of ​​black clouds formed by black mist. He continued to climb.

He didn't believe that the wall would be completely endless.

After climbing another few hundred meters, finally, a window appeared again on the upper right wall. This time it was the same circular window.

Yu Hong moved over and looked at the detector.-

The red value was in the thousands. This made him realize that he was heading in the right direction.
Chapter completed!
