Even so, it still didn't die, its whole body was stuck on the front of the car like mud, and it was submerged into the depths of the sea of ​​fire again as the truck moved forward.Immediately afterwards, there was a huge explosion, and an extremely hot mushroom cloud rose into the sky. The brilliant fire mixed with metal fragments swept in all directions, turning the surrounding trees into scorched earth.

The moment the distorted woman disappeared with the explosion, the hurricane that ravaged the world suddenly slowed down, and the overwhelming wind weakened by more than [-]%.

From the natural disaster level, all the way down to the rare level.

Morning came quietly, and the hurricane blew the entire invisible city.On the lonely and dark street, a car walked alone through the sand and dust, and drove all the way to the gate of the Institute of Climate and Environment in the western part of the town.

After experiencing the disaster caused by the strong wind, this decades-old research institute looks as if it has stood here for hundreds of years, revealing an atmosphere of staleness and decay everywhere.On the square in front, there were large trees that had been uprooted, and their bare branches were lying on the ground, like shriveled and stiff corpses.

From time to time, there was a rancid smell in the air, and a faint smell of blood wafted in the surrounding wind, like a layer of gray mist, casting an ominous color on the research institute.

The small car drove all the way in front of the main building of the research institute. Rarity pushed the front door of the car and walked out, and then the other two researchers, Seal, Ice Bear, and Ivan, got out of the car one after another.

At this time, Researcher B had returned to normal due to his mild symptoms, and the other 'Wheel' who was rescued by them was not so lucky.Although the curse was lifted, the body was twisted like that, and almost all the bones and internal organs were shifted, and it was impossible to restore it to its original shape.After regaining consciousness, he was tormented by pain and howled continuously, begging everyone to help him out, so White Bear fulfilled his wish.

After finishing the matter here, they sent Rarity and the others to the research institute as agreed.

Although the wind has weakened a lot at this time, it is still very difficult to walk with two legs.So everyone randomly found a car whose owner died in the car, and drove all the way to the door of the Natural Climate Research Institute.

Chapter 1 Eleven Return

After accompanying Rarity and the others back to the research institute, with their tireless help, Ivan and the others successfully broke into the aborigines.Ice Bear used the corpse of the pale monster as evidence, together with the testimony of Rarity and the others, successfully convinced the senior management of the institute.Let them dissect and study the corpse as quickly as possible, and notify the mayor's office of the discovery of the monster.

In the face of a catastrophe, the government responded quickly.On the one hand, the city's engineering teams were recruited to build reservoirs near water sources, and on the other hand, all citizens were mobilized to store drinking water at home.

On the issue of dealing with monsters, the city government has organized all possible forces, including the police station, government security department, city defense force, fire department, and even prison guards and the city management committee.With these units as the core, the residents of the entire town were mobilized and a round of military operations involving all the people was carried out.

During this process, organizations of qualified persons also responded to the government's call.In just two days, they gained a lot of power to speak by relying on their knowledge reserves and combat experience.Some technically qualified people even joined the scientific research department, directly improving the town's scientific research capabilities by several orders of magnitude.

After a short period of confusion and chaotic disputes without core leaders, these qualified people finally made the right choice—integrating into the social system of the aborigines, thereby influencing the decision-making of government agencies, and mobilizing all human beings to fight .

From this point of view, Ivan and the others can be regarded as the forerunners among the qualified ones.As the first group to discover the connection between monsters and disasters, coupled with their 'superpower' relationship, they received higher treatment in the city government.

Among them, Yiwen even served as the chief instructor of the special forces, but the time-consuming and labor-intensive martial arts of mixed martial arts could not be achieved in a short period of time, and could only help them slightly improve their existing fighting skills.

But it was just right for him to have such an idle job. After all, his internal injuries were not healed at first, and he had suffered a lot of burns the day before yesterday.

one-one-one-one

The Invisible City, Day [-].

Everything is silent, under the lonely starry sky, the fruits in the thermal insulation room are growing well and arranged vertically and horizontally with vitality.The strong wind combined with the silence and chaos of the night, blowing a chilling symphony of nature.

Whoosh-!

Suddenly, a spiral of orange-red light flashed in the botanical garden, dyeing the entire thermal insulation room with an ominous color.The void within the light swayed for a while, twisting and rotating like ripples, forming folds.Two stumbling figures came out of it, lying on the ground weakly, then raised their heads with difficulty, and found that there were fresh fruits all around.

"Success! We succeeded!"

Erica wept with joy, then forced herself to stand up, and randomly picked a dozen or so fruits from the fruit trees beside her.At this time, she was so hungry that she was going crazy, and she bit the peel of the fruit and started to gobble it up, regardless of whether it was sprayed with pesticides or not.

| "Yeah, yummy!"

While gnawing on the fruit, she handed some more to the beholder.

"Thank you."

The beholder just lay down on the ground with blank eyes, took the fruit weakly, smelled the attractive fragrance on the peel, and immediately cheered up, and began to eat it with big mouthfuls.

The second daughter stayed in the barren ghost land for seven days. She could only drink rainwater when she was thirsty, and gnaw bark and grass roots when she was hungry.In the last two days, they were still being hunted down by huge monsters carrying kerosene lamps. It can be said that they were mentally and physically exhausted to the limit. At this time, this orchard was simply paradise for them.

For the next half an hour, they ate almost non-stop.If they hadn't remembered that it is not advisable to overeat after prolonged hunger, the two of them could still lie in the orchard and eat for another half an hour.

After regaining their strength, the beholder and Erica sneaked out of the orchard, and found that the orchard was actually built in the urban area.

Because the second daughter's savage attire was too conspicuous, she was spotted by the spontaneous patrolling residents in the urban area almost as soon as she left the orchard.Then they discovered their evil deeds of stealing fruits. If a qualified person did not see that they were carrying weapons beyond the age, it might lead to a major accident.

After learning the code names and encounters of Erica and the beholder, the qualified person quickly notified Yi Wen and others of the incident.The latter immediately dropped everything in his hands and rushed to the eastern refuge camp without stopping.

The reunion of the five people is of course fortunate, and everyone is very happy, but stealing fruit is not a trivial matter when supplies are scarce.Yiwen, Baixiong, and Seal also tightened their belts, and after compensating for the loss of the orchard, they brought the second daughter back to the temporary residence after the catastrophe.

one-one-one-one

In the western part of the town, in a private house near the Natural Climate Research Institute.

After offering the two daughters a precious pot of hot water for them to clean up, the five reunited after a long absence are exchanging messages.

"We are trapped in a deserted and terrifying town, there seems to be no other living people except us. And there are monsters everywhere, monsters may emerge from villas, streets, lakes, and even sewers .We persisted there for three days and saw the clues you left behind...the knight who had been dead for a long time was also found there..."

When Erica said this, she clearly noticed the slight shock of the beholder's body, and quickly clenched her hand:

"sorry!"

"It's okay, this is a necessary part of exchanging information."

The beholder turned his face to the side, gave her a relieved smile, and continued: "After that, we encountered a skinny and terrifying monster carrying a kerosene lamp. It can use the kerosene lamp to release freezing light, and no matter how it is destroyed They can all be resurrected again. We were chased by it for two full days, and finally saw the spiral beam of light you mentioned, so we survived by luck..."

Seeing her pretending to be nonchalant, everyone felt mixed feelings. The six of them had been together for so long, and they had developed certain feelings for each other.But it must be Lilith who has the deepest affection for him. Everyone was very sad to hear the news of the death of the knight, but she was able to rationally distinguish between emotion and reality—she indeed had an admirable strength.

"We are very sorry about the matter of the knight, but we believe that you have enough courage to overcome all of this. Presumably when he was dying, he also cared about your safety...so even if it is for him, please live strong Go down." Ivan said with mixed feelings.

"Thank you, I wish I could be that strong too." The beholder smiled and looked at him, but his eyes were a little empty.

After that, White Bear also told them about the situation here: "

"Terrible disasters also occurred on our side. First, another piece of sky appeared on the western horizon, and then the highly toxic rainwater hit horizontally. Then there was the wind disaster. Now the wind disaster has basically subsided. At that time, the wind disaster could easily Blowing people into the sky. And the culprits of the wind disaster are some monsters, very similar to those you encountered, they are all disgusting guys beyond common sense."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the two women who were obviously absent-minded, and said seriously: "The specific situation is like this. Now the whole town is fighting against the disaster, and of course we are included. In this situation, no one who is suitable There is no difference between the Qualified and the Indigenous, we are one whole community."

"This kind of thing...we saw it when you compensated for the loss of the orchard." Erica lowered her head, a blush appeared on her face.

"Besides that, you've probably already noticed it, right? That barren land is actually the future of this city." Bai Xiong explained the relationship between the two areas at this time.

"When I came back, I found that the barren ghost land was highly similar to this city, and I felt that it might be the future of this city. That's why we got the code words in our mountaineering newspaper... You can appear here, too. It verified my previous guess." Ivan added.

"So that barren land full of weird monsters is actually the future of this city..." The beholder was dazed for a long time, she looked at the dusty glass of the window and said:

"So, as long as we can travel to the future and rescue the knight before he is killed, he can be resurrected!?"

"It's a pity that the lighthouse here didn't shine even this evening when you came back." The white bear stared at her calmly, and said in an almost inhuman tone: "Maybe the spiral beam of light can only let people in the future come back to the sky." In the past, you have to be mentally prepared."

"But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will not give up on rescuing the knight." Ivan felt that what he said was too cruel, and made a promise to the beholder.

"I can understand."

The beholder lowered his head and forced a pale smile: "Don't worry about me, I know what I should do. Of course I'm very happy to save the knight, but if I can't, I won't blame anyone for it. people.
