The Lone Wolf of Tomorrow's Ark

"No way, Dr. An Tuo, those guys all need this job to subsidize their families, not to mention that it is a direct order from the top, they are not me, and they have no way to choose to refuse..."

Speaking of this, Severin took out his cigarette case a little irritably, and was about to light it, but found that An Tuo was staring at him. Finally, he could only put the cigarette back resentfully, and said:

"Now, there are only some militiamen and those 'phonographs' left in Wollenmud's armed forces, and after recent investigations, it seems that there are infected people wandering outside the city-state, and they are those winter spirits."

"Winter?"

The unfamiliar vocabulary made everyone a little curious, and Severin also explained:

"The Winterlings are the aborigines who originally lived in the Winterling Mountains. When Warrenmurd was first established, it is said that they were harassed by the Winterlings all the time. They died for this. I don’t know how much manpower, until the top management got bored, they sent the ‘Tower Warlock’ to wipe out most of the winter spirits, but now it seems that the winter spirits seem to be back again.”

"Wait, Captain Severin, why are you so sure they are Winterlings? Do they have any characteristics?"

Hearing Lily of the Valley's question, Severin seemed to sneer with some disdain, and said:

"Winter spirits have always had their own songs and costumes. As long as you have seen them, you will definitely recognize them. Sooner or later, those winter spirits will take the initiative to attack Warrenmud. Recently, we must increase patrolling, and I don't know if the militia is enough. ...Sorry, excuse me first."

Speaking of which, Severin ran directly towards the police station, feeling a little rushed, while An Tuo sighed and explained to everyone:

"Severin's son Thor is already engaged to Tatiana. If there is no natural disaster, Severin should be preparing for Thor's wedding at home now, instead of running around for this city-state."

"That's really pitiful, but then again, are there really so-called winter spirits?"

"there is."

Having said that, An Tuo pointed to a corner of the infected block and said:

"That's where the winter spirits live. Of course, according to Severin, it's just a group of descendants who simply inherited the winter spirit songs, and even the winter spirit wizards don't know what they are. They just have a little bit of winter spirit blood. Occasionally you can hear them singing over there, and since it's just singing, Severin doesn't care."

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Phoenix looked a little curiously at the street pointed by An Tuo, but at the moment, he didn't hear any songs coming from there, which made Phoenix a little disappointed.

After seeing Severin, Anto took everyone back to the infected camp, but when they entered Anto's tent, they met a new face, a young man from the Elafia tribe. It looks a bit harmless to humans and animals.

"Thor, why are you here?"

This young man is exactly the son of Severin that Anto said before, a Laitanian who is highly educated, has Originium skills, and does not have much prejudice against the infected.

"I just came to see you, Dr. An Tuo, and find out if there is anything that needs help. These are colleagues, right?"

Thor is very decent in terms of speech and etiquette, giving people a very natural feeling, but Phoenix is ​​looking at Thor with a faint suspicion in his eyes. Phoenix's intuition tells him that this Thor, there is Big question.

Phoenix didn't understand why, but he knew that it was best to keep an eye on Thor, otherwise something bad would definitely happen.

"No problem, it's good. If possible, I hope you can help Biederman. He seems to have a little problem recently."

Speaking of this, An Tuo thought of the scene when he saw Biederman before, and his expression became a little awkward again, while Thor kept smiling and said:

"Well, I see, I believe he won't have any problems soon, then I'll go to the next door to help, Dr. An Tuo."

After saying this, Thor walked out of the tent, while An Tuo shook his head helplessly and said:

"He is obviously a non-infected person, but he always volunteers to work as a nurse at my place. I have persuaded him many times and he doesn't listen. Generally speaking, he is a good person. By the way, let's sit down for a while. There is an experiment, wait a moment."

Regarding Anto's evaluation of Thor, Phoenix didn't say anything and remained silent, while Anto scratched his head and began to prepare to continue his own research. He took the previous microscope and dropped an unknown amount on the slide. After finding out what the composition of the liquid was, An Tuo was planning to observe while preparing for the next step, but he reached out and touched it, only to find that there was nothing on the table.

"Oh, gone?"

At first, An Tuo was stunned for a while, thinking that his equipment had been stolen, but after searching through the various equipment in the tent, he suddenly remembered, a little embarrassed and said to everyone:

"Well, I'm sorry, can you please help me move some supplies here. It's in the small room next to the camp. I forgot to move it here before. Sorry, if five people go together, it only takes one time to move it. .”

"Well, no problem, let's go."

"Thank you so much, I will definitely not forget next time."

Facing Anto’s request, after answering, Phoenix led everyone out of the tent and walked towards a simple cabin in the corner of the camp, while Anto smiled awkwardly, came to the microscope, and continued He observed the changes of the liquid, but he didn't know that the danger had come quietly.

——Find the dividing line of the cabin——

"That's all."

Opening the door of the cabin, Phoenix saw five supply boxes with the Rhode Island logo neatly stacked inside. Looking at the date, it should have been delivered not long ago.

The infected camp was built in an open space in the forest. Of course, the main purpose is not because of the quiet environment, but because it is far away from the town. In case something happens to the infected, we can do some emergency treatment '...

Phoenix picked up two by himself first, tested the weight, and after confirming that there was no burden, he walked out of the cabin and was about to pass the box to Muyan, but his heart suddenly trembled for no reason, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly swept over.

'What's going on... this feeling of irritability...'

Almost immediately, Phoenix thought of Anto who was left alone in the camp, and Thor who made him feel wrong, and his inner anxiety gradually became stronger.

Afterwards, I saw Phoenix hand over the box to Mudyan fiercely, and said:

"I'll go back and have a look first."

After speaking a little anxiously, Phoenix immediately turned on his super speed and rushed towards the camp, leaving only an afterimage that dissipated immediately, and the four girls of Skadi looked at each other in dismay.

Tilting her head in doubt, Ling Lan looked curiously at the people around her and asked:

"Brother, what's the matter? Suddenly looking anxious?"

"Hmm... are you hungry?"

Ceobe couldn't think of any suitable reason at all, so he could only say what he thought was the most likely, while Muyan shook his head, went into the room and took all the supply boxes, and said while walking:

"Maybe it's urgent."

"boom!!"

After talking for a few words, everyone was planning to go back, but just a few steps away, a loud noise suddenly came from the center of the camp, even the ground in the forest was shaken by the sudden loud noise, and at the same time a large number of The flames and smoke began to fill the air, and even fireballs exploded...

It was already winter, and even the trees near the camp were covered with frost. However, when the fireballs hit the trees, the flames began to spread rapidly. In a short time, the entire camp almost turned into a sea of ​​flames. Nurses and patients were screaming while trying to escape the high-temperature flames.

"This……"

"Something went wrong, let's go."

At the beginning, Lily of the Valley was frightened by the sudden disaster, and she stayed in place, a little at a loss, while Skadi, on the other hand, remained calm, grabbed Ceobe and Lily of the valley ran directly to the camp, followed by Muyan.

The closer you get to the camp, the more you can feel the high temperature of the fire. The surrounding trees are almost burnt to charcoal. Skadi instinctively felt disgusted, but he didn't stop walking, bypassing the fleeing crowd, and rushed to the place where Anto was At the tent, it turns out that they came a bit late.

The tent was already on fire, and it was scattered in pieces. The equipment and furniture were also broken into pieces due to the impact, and fell to the ground in a mess. This should be the central area of ​​the explosion, and in the middle, The ground is radial, and the flames have created a vacuum here.

There, Phoenix was standing quietly, looking at the ground, with a flat and scary expression, following his line of sight, I saw a female 'corpse' that was completely unrecognizable and almost completely carbonized, lying quietly on the ground, and' For some reason, the body of the corpse has not been completely burned. On the work card, the name of the corpse is printed - An Tuo...

"This... can't be..."

Seeing this scene, Lily of the Valley, who was brought by Skadi, lost her voice in fright, her eyes couldn't help but started to shed tears. Skadi and Muyan didn't show anything, but the reduced air pressure was obvious, and they were very angry , even Ceobe understood the oppression of the atmosphere, and her ears drooped.

At this time, Phoenix slowly took a deep breath, and in an instant, blood-red pupils appeared together with silver-white hair and Fenrir's phantom, followed by a roar that seemed to be mixed with Fenrir's roar:

"Who! What! What—?!"

"Ow--!!"

Following the howling of wolves that was stronger than the loud noise of the explosion, what followed was a cold wind mixed with snowflakes that was more terrifying than the Ursus Icefield.

At this moment, the winter in the Winterling Mountains seemed to have arrived ahead of schedule. The low temperature, ice crystals and snowflakes swept through the forest fires that were still burning fiercely just now. 'Fire' sites and forests into ice sheets...

"Ah...brother...so powerful, and, moreover, so beautiful..."

Seeing the sudden change in front of her, Ling Lan even forgot to care about the cold temperature, and stared blankly at the somewhat beautiful scene in front of her with a few others:

As the snowflakes fell, after slight refraction, they gave off a faint gleam. Phoenix stood in the center of the ice crystals blooming like a flower, looked at the 'corpse' on the ground, and slowly shed a tear on the side of his cheek. The sad mood was almost instantaneous It infects everyone who sees it, and the whole picture is like a queen of ice and snow lamenting the passing of an old friend.

However, no one except Phoenix knew that on the hill not far away, Anto, who should have been identified as a charred corpse, was standing there unscathed, and the communicator in his hand was aiming at On the Phoenix side, she herself sighed:

"My good guy, if Rhodes Island has an actor award like that of Yan Kingdom for this acting skill, you must be the winner, lone wolf, you are amazing, you are too amazing."

Of course, what everyone doesn't know is that one day later, this photo taken by An Tuo and named "Tears of the Ice Field" won the championship of the photo contest. The predecessor admired by photography enthusiasts, the protagonist of the photo, Phoenix, has become the dream model of many photographers...

Chapter 510 The Mudstone Squad

"Ah... suck..."

"Mr. Severin, this... is already your third pack of cigarettes today."

In the infected camp that had been covered in ice and snow and turned into pure white, Severin looked at the radiating ice flowers not far away, sighed, and gradually wiped out the cigarettes one by one.

Beside him, a Caprini woman was looking worriedly at Severin and the cigarette butts all over the floor, trying to dissuade him, but when Severin heard her words, he frowned. Frowning, he asked:

"Sir?"

"Ah, I'm sorry... Uncle."

This woman, named Tatiana, is Thor's fiancée and Severin's daughter-in-law, and the reason why they are here now is to come here to see the scene of the tragedy and remember the past. people.

As far as they know so far, the explosion that happened suddenly in the center of the camp yesterday took the lives of three people, Anto, Biederman, and Tortovald, that is, Severin's son, Taja Na's fiancé.

Afterwards, after witnessing the death of his friend, the Rhode Island operative Lone Wolf, who was sent to support him, used his Originium skills beyond ordinary people's cognition to freeze the entire fire scene and a large number of forests in an instant. The fire spread, but it also caused panic to some residents. Of course, Severin was at fault and couldn't say anything at all.

Hearing Tatiana's change of words, Severin sighed, threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, stomped it out, and said:

"In this case, I still need to rely on tobacco. Of course, tobacco and alcohol are bad things... Try not to learn from me... Cough cough cough..."

"However, your cough has worsened, so you should reduce your intake."

"Don't worry, I know my body well..."

When he said this sentence, Severin's eyes were full of loneliness that Tatiana couldn't see, and then he disappeared, and said with a bit of resentment:

"Those naughty old guys, they dare not take the initiative to mention it to me, so I let you pass it on. They only stay in a safe place and point fingers! Cough, cough..."

"I'm sorry, uncle, I can't convince them, please don't be angry, it's not good for your health."

"……what's the result?"

Severin didn't respond to Tatiana's concern, but took out his cigarette case, frowned, and asked about another matter.

Warrenmurd's decision-making team is composed of a few high-level officials and a few more prestigious town representatives. Every time a major decision is to be made, they will discuss it and finally implement it.

After hearing this question, Tatiana struggled for a while, and then said sadly:

"The discussion at the meeting was intense, and the young people were afraid to speak in the waiting room. In the end, the townspeople agreed that it was impossible to distinguish the infected person and their physical infection status. In order to avoid accidents...the corpses must be buried outside the town, and ... no funerals are allowed ..."

"Heh...heh...hahahaha..."

After listening to Tatiana's words, Severin laughed angrily at first, and then laughed out loud as if venting. Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise he thought Severin was crazy.

"Haha... Bury, come on, let them tell me how to bury it! Why do you want to bury it!!"

Having said that, Severin roared fiercely, threw the cigarette case in his hand on the ground fiercely, then pointed to the frozen forest, his tone was full of sadness and anger, as if As if venting his resentment, he said:

"Everything here was done by a Rhodes Island operator! Yes! Alone! Frozen a forest! What are these old bastards trying to do?! Want to completely quarrel with those operators who don't know the details Break it? There is still a famine, I think that one person can directly destroy Warrenmud!"
