I take skeletons to the apocalypse
Chapter 68
After Jinglan left, the Zhuguang base gradually became busy. While they were preparing a large amount of winter supplies, they also searched for a lot of parts from the surrounding ports to renovate the speedboat. The docks are extremely busy these days, and there are boats going out to sea every day. , I don't know where I went.
Xia Xi saw Chaomo who was directing at the pier, and curiously approached him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Chaomo sent away a subordinate who came to report, looked at the boats shuttling on the sea, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "It is prepared for the backup base."
"Backup base?" Xia Xi looked at Chaomo unexpectedly: "Do you want to move? Isn't this place very good, the location is near the sea, and there is a Tianming City shelter nearby, there are not so many disputes, and Sister Hua is also good, willing Help the base cover its tracks."
Chao Mo shook his head: "Although this place is remote enough, it is not far from Jingting City. Jing Lan went to the Jingting City Research Institute to steal the female clover, and it might be discovered by Jingting City. After following the clues and finding this place, we supernatural beings are alright, we really can’t drive off-road vehicles, we can go wherever we want, but these relatives in the refuge must have a place to stay.”
"But it took a lot of hard work to build this base, right?" Xia Xi asked, "Isn't it a pity to just give up like this?"
"That's right." Chao Mo's eyes showed a bit of disappointment: "I often wonder recently whether I made the wrong choice."
"In my last life, I founded Zhuguang City and led everyone to struggle in the last days. I also experienced many crises in the past few years, but fortunately, there were no dangers. I didn't expect that in the end, I would be betrayed by my own people and become a Tang monk. The end of the division. In this life, I made up my mind to keep a low profile and only protect the teammates who are worthy of my trust, but found that without the support of the huge City of Chasing Light, with only our little strength, no matter if we want to fight against Jingting City, Still wanting to protect those who care, it seems too powerless."
Xia Xi could hear that Chaomo was still blaming himself for the people who died in the disaster of sea slugs.Xia Xi patted Chaomo's shoulder comfortingly, and said softly: "The reborn is just an ordinary person who has lived one more time, and is not an omniscient and omnipotent god. Of course, he can't be perfect. In my opinion, you have done a good job." , there is no need to be too harsh on yourself.”
"Yeah, you're right, we're just reborn, not gods." Chao Mo's eyes were filled with deep confusion: "But I can't figure out why the Jingting City refuge in this life can develop So fast. How did they get the mutated clover that only appeared in the third year, and the shell of the fifth-level tarantula. Even if Jingting City brought back some unimaginable advanced technology from the previous life, the cultivation of mutated creatures is always difficult. It takes time. They give me the feeling that our time is not in the same dimension at all.”
"The refuge in Jingting City is indeed very strong, but it is not infinitely strong, otherwise they would have arrested us all into the research institute, right?"
Xia Xi got a little cold from the sea breeze, pulled the drawstring on the hood, and the two fluffy ears on the top of his head shook accordingly: "Fear comes from the unknown. Since you want to know, then just find out."
"You mean..." Chao Mo turned his head and looked at Xia Xi, as if he wanted to see the expression under his mask.
Xia Xi crossed her hands together, and stretched her back backwards: "I've rested here for a long time, it's not interesting to be idle all the time, and I just plan to go for a stroll in Jingting City."
That tone was like going out to find a beautiful place to travel.
But Chaomo knew that Jingting City was not a fun place, so he wanted to persuade him: "The danger level of Jingting City Research Institute is far beyond what you and I can imagine. In this life, their strength has improved again, if you don’t know them, if you rush in, you may be caught.”
"And once caught by them, they will face more terrible torture than death. Although we really need the information of the Jingting City Research Institute, I can't put my life on it for profit..."
"Chaomo." Xia Xi interrupted Chaomo, and said, "I understand your kindness, but there is no place that is absolutely safe in the last days. We are not sure about dealing with Jingting City now, will we have it in the future?"
Chao Mo was silent for a long time. From a rational point of view, it is a good thing for the Chasing Light base that Mr. Hei Ya is willing to explore the way.But as a friend, he didn't want Crow to take such a risk.
Chao Mo closed his eyes, and heard himself say in a compromise: "Don't be so anxious, you can wait for the news from Jinglan and send back some information about Jingting City before making a decision. If you insist on going, we will Let Song Qiao tailor the equipment for you, and then prepare several sets of sea slug camouflage skins according to your body size. The invisibility skin is also under development, and the results may be ready in a few days."
"Then it's settled." Xia Xi agreed simply.
Xia Xi didn't know that the refuge in Jingting City was dangerous, but he had lived enough of hiding in Tibet in his previous life.At the beginning, he was unable to face the behemoth of the Holy See of Light alone, and hid for ten years, but was finally arrested and ended up in exile in another world.In this life, he already possessed the ability to be almost immortal, and he also wanted to live a more reckless and unrestrained life.
In the next few days, Xia Xi was also busy.Chaomo arranged for a special person to give him popular science information about the refuge in Jingting City, mainly some well-known black technologies researched in their previous lives.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, but the accident is like a meteor falling suddenly in the sky, piercing the calm night sky.
Late at night on the fifth day after Jing Lan left the base, Xia Xi heard a sharp whistle while she was asleep.Listening carefully to the length of the whistle for a few seconds, Xia Xi recognized that this was the highest level of alarm for the base, one level higher than the evacuation alarm when the sea slug appeared last time, which represented that the base was facing a crisis of destruction level.
what happened?Did the sea shark come ashore?
Xia Xi rubbed her eyes and got up, put on her clothes and put on her cloak.Open the balcony window, call out a pair of skeleton hands, and lead the little crow out of the dormitory building through the window.
When they came to the front yard, half of the people had already gathered here, most of them were supernatural beings on duty around.
Xia Xi looked around. There were people gathering from all directions in the base. Most of them, like Xia Xi, didn't know what happened.
Chao Mo hurried out of the main teaching building in his training clothes, still holding a communicator in his hand, talking to others: "Yes, I know I'm not ready yet for landing on the island tonight, but it's too late, so prepare now sail."
Putting down the communicator, Chao Mo grabbed Gu Ming in the crowd: "You are fast, go and check the dormitory building to see if there are still people left behind. Time is running out. In 15 minutes, everyone must board the ship."
Gu Ming asked the question of most people present at the moment: "No, captain, what's the matter? I didn't see any danger, so why are you about to board the ship?"
Xia Xi looked into the distance again. In the direction of the port, there was a faint flame extinguishing, flying towards this side.As it got closer, Xia Xi saw that it was a few fiery red butterflies, blown crookedly by the sea breeze.Their colors are extremely dazzling, like burning flames, dancing in the night sky.
Two of them seemed to be attracted by Xia Xi's hat ears, stayed on the cloak for a moment, and then flew towards Xia Xi's back.
Xia Xi felt a very faint mutated energy fluctuation from them, and controlled the bone hand to grab one. The flame-colored butterfly was not aggressive. When caught, it stayed obediently in the bone hand, looking peaceful and harmless .
Xia Xi vaguely realized the problem: "Are there any butterflies in Tian Ming City this season?"
Chao Mo was originally in a trance, but when he saw the butterfly in Xia Xi's hand, his expression changed suddenly.He held the butterfly's wings and took a closer look, and he found a metal device the size of a grain of rice on its body: "Guiding Butterfly."
"Huh?" Xia Xi made a puzzled monosyllable in his throat.
"It is a general term for a type of mutated butterfly. A mutated butterfly was bred in the refuge in Jingting City in the previous life. It can use a certain medium as a guide and cooperate with a micro-positioning device to track and locate, so it is named the guide butterfly."
Now Xia Xi understood: "Has the refuge been discovered?"
"Just now I received a warning from the watchman at the sentry point more than 100 kilometers away." Chao Mo frowned: "Now that the guide butterfly appears, I am afraid that the Jingting City refuge team is less than a hundred kilometers away. Everyone Must evacuate immediately."
At the pier, everyone boarded the boat in silence.The supernatural beings only had time to take away the most important supplies, and Xia Xi also sent skeletons to help.
Overhead is a dark sky with no stars or moon.More than a dozen remodeled cruise speedboats galloped out on the pitch-black sea, leaving behind an empty and abandoned base.
The explosives buried in the ground suddenly made a loud noise, and the place where everyone lived for half a year was turned into a sea of ruins and flames. The flames reflected half of the sky red, as if even the heavy dark clouds in the sky were burning together.
The people on the boat looked at the burning ruins silently. As the year approached, they had stockpiled a lot of supplies and planned to spend a lively New Year here.Now they watched a grand fireworks ahead of time, which shattered their last stable thoughts in the last days.
However, the predicament they encountered was far more than that. Chaomo's communicator rang, showing that it was from Sister Hua.
Chao Mo shook his lips, vaguely expected, his eyes were full of resistance, but he still pressed the answer button.
"Captain Chaomo, long time no see." A brisk male voice came from inside.The voice sounded very pleasant, but it was really like talking on the phone with an old friend who had been gone for a long time.
"Sheng Bai." Chao Mo gritted his teeth and read out the name.
The voice on the other end was even higher: "Yo, I heard it, I haven't seen you in so many years, do you still remember me?"
Chao Mo twitched the corners of his mouth, but he didn't smile: "The butcher Sheng Bai, the mad dog in Jingting City, slaughtered more than 100 lunatics in shelters, how dare I not remember."
"It's nothing more than a hundred small shelters, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. Added together, they can't compare with the size of Zhuiguang City." Sheng Bai said modest words solemnly, as if Chao Mo was boasting just now He does.
"Okay, don't gossip too much. City Lord Chaomo remembers me, so I don't need to talk nonsense. The leader of our Jingting City wants to meet you. If you get off the boat and follow me today, I will not move these people. You If the people who brought you leave, I will not keep any of them. What is your answer, City Lord Chaomo?"
Xia Xi saw Chaomo who was directing at the pier, and curiously approached him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Chaomo sent away a subordinate who came to report, looked at the boats shuttling on the sea, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "It is prepared for the backup base."
"Backup base?" Xia Xi looked at Chaomo unexpectedly: "Do you want to move? Isn't this place very good, the location is near the sea, and there is a Tianming City shelter nearby, there are not so many disputes, and Sister Hua is also good, willing Help the base cover its tracks."
