[Sword Three + Doomsday] Poisonous hands have no joy

Regardless of whether it is a peaceful age or the end of the world, which has lasted for hundreds of years and several generations, there is an unavoidable expectation in people's hearts: what if things are not so bad?

But the latest aerial photos sent back the night before departure showed that everyone must prepare for the worst.

The Heihe River will not have a period of ice this year, and the current watershed is expanding uncontrollably.Because of the impression of the magnetic field in the arbitration zone, the entire northeast signal is in a very weak state.This means that many necessary and extremely important equipment cannot be used there at all.

"It's over, it's over..." On the way back, Li Ren kept repeating his thoughts, but finally stopped after being slapped hard on the back of the head by Luo Lou.

Cheng Yong sighed, "Don't be too pessimistic, things are not that bad."

"Boss, that's not what you said yesterday!" Li Ren looked pitiful, and grabbed Tang Wule's clothes, "Wule, can I apply to follow you to Heihe, Jue Ling is so scary..."

Tang Wule squinted his eyes, "What do you think?"

"Prince, you just take the younger one!"

Li Peichen walked beside him, "Chang Lin is the only one beside you when you go this time?"

"Yes," Tang Wule saw Chang Lin for the first time, and knew that this person was completely different from what he had shown. The researcher in the white robe was obviously not his real body.

Li Peichen didn't say any more, and if Tang Wule was sure, he wouldn't deliberately say something that would throw cold water on people.

On the contrary, Cheng Yong has gradually developed the character of an old lady, and now he is extremely worried about every member.Knowing that Tang Wule wasn't even with everyone, he couldn't help pulling him along and nagging him again.

---------

Before leaving the next day, Tang Wule checked the weather. It was as gray as usual, and the cold wind in the air was mixed with the smell of fallen leaves.

Chang Lin was already waiting beside the car, which was a completely modified off-road combat vehicle.

"Here, what your mother told you."

Tang Wule took it over, "Thank you."

"I've brought everything that needs to be prepared, and someone over there will take care of it." Chang Lin sat in the driver's seat and started the car when the people next to him were ready.

Neither of them is under too much pressure. Chang Lin has no father, no mother, no partner, no worries, and Tang Wule has always been a little overlord who doesn't know what fear is.

"It's strange, why are you suddenly going out of the country for interrogation?" Chang Lin saw the road sign notice when he was driving a long way away. He had prepared the materials and documents and was ready to hand them over, but the inspectors let them go the moment they saw their vehicle.

Tang Wule, however, felt through the window of the car the visibly tense and cautious state of several fully armed staff members of the inspection team. No matter who was sitting in the passing vehicles, even if the result was ruled out, they did not relax.

After leaving the central area, the number of vehicles decreased significantly. To be precise, they diverted from the central area in all directions, so the road appeared to be empty.

Chang Lin made a joke, "Tell me, if something really happened, how could anyone be found in this situation?"

Tang Wule smiled, "Of course there is a way."

It's just a matter of time.

All the way to the north, the increase in the surrounding vegetation made the temperature in the air drop a little bit, but it didn't bring people the relaxation they should have. Instead, there was a premonition that the crisis was hidden.

"Be careful--"

A mutant bear the size of three people jumped out of the woods on the side of the road, easily overturned the car in front of them, and rolled to the other side of the road.The huge mutant bear jumped and hit the overturned car body, and there were desperate and tearing screams from inside the car.

Chang Lin was not completely in a hurry, and stabilized as quickly as possible after being frightened. He didn't speak, but looked at his teammates on this trip.

Save or not?

But before the two of them exchanged a look, the mutant bear pulled the person inside out of the broken car window neatly, and quickly disappeared into the woods with ease.

Tang Wule is used to watching life and death, while Chang Lin is doing the work of "saving the dying and healing the wounded" from the side.

"Use your guilt on the road." There are more important things waiting for you to do.

Chang Lin shook his head, "I don't feel guilty. If saving people would make me fight alone with that mutant bear, I will pretend that I didn't see it." You can do what you can, but it also depends on the timing.

Seeing Tang Wule's half-smile expression from the mirror, Chang Lin added extra words, "I'm not the Holy Mother!"

He just thinks that no matter what era has changed in nature, human beings are vulnerable in front of it.

The two of them spent almost all their time on the road except for the rest time, because the road almost bypassed the entire Heihe River Basin and the Heihe Forest surrounded by it, and all kinds of dangers had been expected by the two of them.

"How many times is this?"

Tang Wule looked at the car parked on the side of the road that had lost its owner. The blood on the ground hadn't dried completely, and the hair and flesh leftovers made it easy to see what happened here not long ago.

"Too lazy to remember."

On such a road where the second car may not be seen for an hour, it is a dangerous thing to stop rashly.It is slightly better to travel with a companion. If you travel alone, you can only get off at the supply station and relax.Guaranteed that there are any wild beasts or mutant beasts coming out to hunt.

The two of them didn't have the Holy Mother to get out of the car to help others. First, the schedule was tight;

"Hey... Fortunately, you are here. I think I can return to the Central Committee alive." Chang Lin smiled shallowly. He knew that he should not be too flattering to a prince like Tang Wule.

Tang Wule didn't say a word, and the journey wasn't very peaceful, it could only be said that there was no danger.Although the danger did not come to him, neither of them dared to relax a bit.The car slowly drove into the Heihe River Basin, and the more he could feel the threat that was lurking anytime and anywhere.

"Now, I'm going to take water samples, you can just watch from the side." Chang Lin finally confirmed the equipment and equipment on his body, and prepared to slowly approach the bank of the lower reaches of the Heihe River, while Tang Wule followed up with a certain distance.

Getting closer to the river bank, the nasal cavity can receive the abnormal smell from the Heihe river and the nearby soil.It's not a rotten smell that is completely close to rot, but a mixed smell that has been burned with a special dye, but it has not been completely burned to ashes...

Tang Wule raised his head and glanced at the sky, which was filled with fluffy dark red in the thick gray.Chang Lin, who was a few steps away from him, was wearing a protective mask, so he couldn't see his face clearly. His men's movements were rigid, and he focused entirely on sampling the river water, entrusting his personal safety to Tang Wule's hands.

Nerves were tense to carry out the first trial sampling. Just as Chang Lin was about to turn around, a piece of boiling bubbles appeared in the water, and expanded to a larger area at an extremely fast speed.

Tang Wule directly pulled the man over with one paw, "Be careful!"

Before Chang Lin could react, he just turned around and saw the dark river water start to boil, and the rotten smell mixed with burning came again.

The sky, which was still gray and white mixed with dark red just now, has faded towards dark red more and more, and fluffy clouds are rolling towards this side from the edge of the sky.

"We'd better get back in the car now." Tang Wule pulled Chang Lin and ran towards the off-road vehicle.

Chang Lin protected his equipment and followed Tang Wule to run quickly, but when he turned his head inadvertently, his heart beat wildly.

The surface of the Heihe River, which was still calm just now, is now churning with red blisters, accompanied by a heavier and heavier smell. It is obvious that there is about to be a change here.

After the two settled down in the car, Chang Lin took out the sample: "Heihe didn't turn black, but it was so red that it turned black."

In that transparent sampling tube, the river water was not pure in color, but dark red and turbid, accompanied by flocculent sediment.

Tang Wule stared at the floc closely, and asked, "What do you think it is?"

Chang Lin shook his head, "What kind of aquatic organisms can grow in such waters?"

After he finished speaking, he looked at his new partner, and Chang Lin got an answer when he heard the other party's calm and flat voice.

"It's minced meat that can't be shredded."

The moment he got the answer, Chang Lin's heart seemed to miss a beat.Staying in the Central Research Institute all year round, it is not uncommon to see dissected samples of different species of animals and plants, but at least the research is carried out in a basically safe environment.It's completely different now. This is a sample he took out from that water area with his own hands, and he couldn't find it in the big environment.

Now that the car lights are bright, point the sampling tube to the light source, the flocs in the water are clearly minced meat with different degrees of decomposition.

In the interior space of the car with the windows closed, one can actually smell that trembling and disgusting smell, although the psychological effect is relatively large.

Chang Lin glanced out the car window, and there was a burst of light red smoke rising from the river about [-] meters away, which was more like climbing from the river to the land.

Driving the car farther away from the river bank, the two observed through binoculars. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it.

The land on the river bank gradually covered by the red smoke began to loosen, accompanied by a slight churning, it seemed that there was something under the soil eager to break out of the ground.

"Is that a mutant earthworm?"

Chang Lin looked at the flesh-red annelids that were different from the color of the land. They were actively wriggling, turning up and down in the soil.This is no longer an ordinary beneficial field earthworm. Its slender and fragile body has mutated into the thickness of a child's arm. It is different from amphibian vertebrates like giant earthworms. Get active.

Obviously, they didn't just come out to loosen the soil, eat some dregs and discharge some feces.As if they were being pulled by something, they were squirming quickly and orderly towards the river bank. Their bodies of nearly one meter made the team crowded and sticky.

Because from the perspective of Tang Wule and Chang Lin, they looked more like a whole ball rolling towards the shore, their bodies entangled with each other.

The army of mutated earthworms lingered on the river bank for a while, and then resolutely rolled down into the red fog and confused Heihe River.

Suddenly, a huge and powerful tongue sprang out from the river water, dragging a bunch of entangled earthworms into the water. It took only a short while for the river to become calm again.
