Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 109 Shocking News
This is a cement building with a sense of age at first glance.

The building is interspersed between two bungalows. It looks like a rectangular pier with a circular-shaped cement cover on the top and a right-opening large iron gate on the front. It is about two meters high and rusty on the surface. The bungalows and Weeds grew in the narrow spaces between the buildings.

Wang Zongwei knocked on the iron door twice quickly with the crowbar in his hand, and then knocked three times quickly after a second or two.

After a while, the iron door slowly opened.

Li Xun and the others were a little surprised when they saw it. The iron door that looked like it had been soaked in water was surprisingly thick, with a thickness of more than [-] centimeters, and the side and inside were also covered with reddish-brown rust.

The man who opened the door was a man in his 50s. He poked his head out to see the people outside and said, "Xiaowei and Xiaowei are back. Who are these people?"

"Uncle Hai, they came from Shanghai."

"Magic City? That's not more than 200 kilometers away, how did it come here?" Uncle Hai was taken aback.

"It came by boat." Zhou Wei replied, helping to open the iron gate.

"Start the boat?" Uncle Hai was taken aback. He had seen the extreme beast in the sea with his own eyes. He looked at Li Xun and the others hesitantly, and said nothing.

After the iron gate was fully opened, Wang Zongwei pushed the tricycle and walked inside.

When Uncle Hai saw the fish on the car, he was overjoyed and then surprised: "Are you going into the sea?"

"No, they gave it."

"Really? Come in quickly." Uncle Hai greeted with a smile on his face immediately.

After entering the door, there is a sloping downward slope, which is a bit steep. Lao Fan and Cheng Xi helped pull the tricycle and walked down slowly.

Zhou Wei helped Uncle Hai close the big iron gate and followed, and Uncle Hai continued to guard the gate.

A torch was inserted every ten meters on the walls on both sides of the air-raid shelter. The cave was a little dark, but it didn't feel stuffy. Obviously, the ventilation was good.

The slope is not long, only 20 to [-] meters, and after going deep into the ground about [-] or [-] meters, it turns into a flat road.

The ground is about three meters away from the arc-shaped cave roof, and the width is also about three meters, which is quite spacious.

Walking forward for about 50 meters, there is a room every ten meters on both sides of the cave, each room is about [-] square meters, and it is full of people.

Many people saw Wang Zongwei and Zhou Wei coming forward to say hello. They seemed to be very popular, but they all cast curious eyes on Li Xun and the others.

They walked straight forward for about 400 meters, and when it was almost the end, Wang Zongwei stopped in front of a room and brought Li Xun and the others inside.

This room was the same as the previous room, but it was fully equipped with tables, chairs and benches. There were two men sitting opposite a square table, one about sixty and the other about thirty.

The two seemed to be busy trying to figure something out and didn't notice anyone coming in.

Wang Zongwei walked closer and said, "Mayor, we met a few people outside and brought them in."

The two raised their heads at the same time, looking at Li Xun and the others.

The older man stood up, glanced at Li Xun and the others, and finally turned his gaze to Li Xun. The three of them, Lao Fan, were standing behind him, and it was him who was leading.

The other man paid more attention to the weapons in their hands, especially the hunting bow and fin arrows that Li Xun was carrying on his back.

The older man said with a loud and powerful voice, "I am Fang Changhe, the mayor of Silong Town. Where are you from? Where are you going? What's the matter here?"

Although the mayor, whose hair was already half white, came up to ask three soul questions, and his eyes seemed to be guarded, but Li Xun didn't care, this is what should be done in the last days.

He went straight to the point and said: "Mayor Fang, my name is Li Xun. We came from Shanghai, and we are going to Xiancheng. We are here to find the injured person who came over yesterday. I want to ask him for some information. After asking, we will leave." .”

When Mayor Fang heard that it was from Shanghai, his face changed slightly, and another man who was sitting also stood up.

"You guys come from Magic Capital, what's the situation over there?"

"It's all the same, there are zombies and extreme beasts everywhere."

"Has the leadership been restored? Is there any organization to deal with zombies and monsters?" Mayor Fang asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, the higher-ups have established a base and have begun to clean up zombies and extreme beasts. We came from the base jointly established by the SWAT Center and Tongli University. I have also seen fighter jets attack extreme beasts, and tanks have also been dispatched."

Although the fighter plane only appeared once, and the tank was never seen and only the sound of the cannon was heard, what Li Xun said was true.

Mayor Fang and the other man were relieved when they heard this. Although they are far away from the devil, as long as the government above is still operating, there is hope.

"How did you get here from Demon City?" another man asked.

"Come here on a yacht."

"Did you meet any monsters?"

"I've met them. Yachts are faster than polar beasts. If they can't catch up, fishing boats can't." Li Xun said.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Fang Mayor's eyes, and he said: "Xiancheng is very dangerous now, and they can't get in. The four of them managed to escape from the city in Qingming yesterday, but they were chased by monsters, and the other three died. , although he didn’t die, he also lost an arm, Zong Wei told you all, right?”

"I said it, so we want to know the situation in the city first."

"Okay, Zhou Wei, take them to Qingming."

"Oh."

Zhou Wei agreed and took Li Xun and the others out, while Wang Zongwei stayed behind.

After leaving the room, the four of them followed Zhou Wei back, and Shen Yiqing vaguely heard Mayor Fang's voice from the room: "Zong Wei, didn't I tell you not to bring anyone here to be safer?"

"Mayor, what happened..."

Zhou Wei took Li Xun and the others to another room, which was obviously smaller than the other rooms by more than half, and there was only one person in it, about 30 years old, with a pale face and no blood at all.

He was sitting sideways on the bedding on the ground, with his back against the wall, his left arm was broken at the elbow, wrapped in gauze, with blood oozing faintly, his eyes stared at the front, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hearing footsteps approaching, the man raised his head and looked at everyone in surprise.

"Brother Yu, these people want to ask you for some information."

Li Xun said: "I'm Li Xun, what's my name?"

"Yu Qingming." The man seemed to be low-spirited, and said weakly.

"Excuse me, we are going to Xiancheng. I heard that you just came back from the city, so I want to ask you for some information."

"What do you want to know?"

"Well, I heard that there are many flying winged beasts in Xiancheng. Do you know where they are? Are they all in one place or everywhere?"

"It is mainly concentrated in two places, the China World Trade Center and the TV Tower, and there are also quite a few around the periphery of the city."

"Are there many extreme beasts in the urban area? It's this kind of monster." Li Xun took the tablet handed over by Lao Fan and asked, pointing at the ordinary extreme beasts on it.

"a lot of."

"Have you seen the others?" Li Xun asked while turning the pages.

"I've seen this one, and I've seen this one too." Seeing the various extreme beasts on the tablet, Yu Qingming was a little surprised, and pointed out two kinds of extreme beasts he had seen before, namely the myriad beast and the thorn beast.

"Are there many of these two kinds of monsters?"

"Not many, these two are seen under the TV tower, there are three myriads, and two thorns."

"Do you know how the polar beast came from?"

"I know, the day after the zombies appeared, many black holes suddenly appeared in the sky, and they drilled out of the black holes."

"That's right, did the winged beasts appear at that time, or did they appear later?"

"It only appeared three days ago."

"Where did it first appear?"

"It's the China World Trade Center and the TV Tower."

"Are there auroras in these two places?"

"How do you know?" Yu Qingming asked in surprise.

Li Xun frowned, and Lao Fan, Cheng Xi, and Shen Yiqing also showed surprise. Xiancheng also had the mysterious big mushroom in the library of Tongli University.

He pondered for a while, and said, "Does anyone know why there is an aurora? Well, what I mean is what emits an aurora?"

"I don't know about the China World Trade Center. I've seen it on the TV tower. There is a big plant on the top, like... like a rich tree." Yu Qingming said.

"A fortune tree?"

Li Xun, Lao Fan, Cheng Xi, etc. couldn't help but look at each other, how did it become a fortune tree, isn't it a mushroom?

"Yes, it grows on the top floor of the TV tower. There are some big leaves on the top, a thick stem underneath, and the net-like roots below, which seem to grow in the wall, extending all the way to Underground, those roots emit aurora, especially at night, it is very conspicuous."

Listening to Yu Qingming's description, everyone couldn't help but imagine the TV tower glowing at night.

Obviously, this thing is very different from the mysterious mushroom in the library. Apart from the obvious difference in appearance, the way to release the aurora is also different, and the aurora emitted by the mysterious mushroom is only confined to the library, and it cannot be seen from the outside at night what.

But the plants that Yu Qingming mentioned just wanted to be reversed, and they were particularly conspicuous at night.

"How tall is the TV tower?" Li Xun asked.

"Well, it seems to be 190 meters, or more than [-] meters, only a little shorter than the China World Trade Center." Yu Qingming said uncertainly.

Li Xun was secretly surprised, this is much higher than the library, if the aurora is emitted from the roots, the coverage area may not be small.

"How much does the aurora cover?"

"About 50 meters."

Li Xun and the others gasped, there was such a large area.

Cheng Xi's first thought was how many evolutionaries could absorb energy to evolve at the same time.

Lao Fan obviously thought of it too, rolled his eyes, and asked, "You know it so well, is it near the TV tower?"

Yu Qingming nodded and said, "That's right, I was working as a cook in the revolving restaurant of the TV tower. After the zombies appeared, I hid in the square below and escaped back yesterday."

"Why did you flee here? Isn't it good to hide in the square? This road is so dangerous, it's full of zombies and beasts."

Yu Qingming's face darkened, and there seemed to be anger in his eyes: "I don't want to, but those people are too cruel, because they are evolutionaries, forcing us to come out to find food, and several people have been found and eaten by monsters .”

Li Xun and the others glanced at each other, and Lao Fan continued to ask, "What's the situation? Tell me in detail."

Yu Qingming obviously remembered something, his eyes became more and more angry, and he seemed to want to talk to someone, and told him from beginning to end about his experiences in the past few days.

When the apocalypse came, he found that most of the people in the restaurant had turned into zombies. He was shocked and frightened. He was worried that the zombies would block the TV tower and he would not be able to get out, so he grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed into the stairs. between.

Yu Qingming was lucky, there were not many people in the stairs, and there were not many zombies, so he rushed downstairs, only to see many people running out of the shopping mall opposite the TV tower, followed by more zombies chasing him.

He originally wanted to drive out, but found that many cars were hit before driving too far, the road was in chaos, and there were more and more zombies.

In desperation, he hid in a three-story building not far from the TV tower. This was a training institution, and there were not many zombies in it.

There were quite a few people who thought the same as him, forty or fifty survivors all chose this building, and the big guys worked together to knock down the dozen or so zombies inside.

The next day, everyone looked at the large number of zombies in the square outside, and they all hid and did not dare to move, but the extreme beast came.

Two polar beasts ran under the TV tower, one rushed into the TV tower, and the other made a home in the shopping mall opposite the TV tower.

The extreme beast in the TV tower has remained silent, but the extreme beast in the shopping mall often comes out to eat zombies, which frightens everyone.

That night, two people were so hungry that they couldn't bear it, so they encouraged everyone to take the risk and rush to Block B, the podium of the nearby TV tower, where there were two restaurants with food.

After hiding inside for two days, they suddenly found that the aurora appeared again. At night, they discovered that the aurora was emitted by the TV tower.

Not long after, two of them completed the evolution and gained magical abilities. The big guys were envious and happy, thinking that they would evolve even if they stayed in the aurora.

Relying on their ability, the two broke into the supermarket on the basement floor opposite and brought back a lot of food for everyone.

Two days later, the two completed their second evolution and completely emptied the zombies in the supermarket, but the others did not evolve. To make matters worse, a winged beast suddenly appeared on the top of the TV tower.

The two evolutionaries asked three people to go to the supermarket to get food, but they were discovered by the winged beast, and they were all taken away and eaten. After seeing the horror of the winged beast, everyone was silent.

At night, the two evolutionaries forced others to get food, but one person was unwilling, so they knocked him unconscious and threw him out to feed the winged beast.

Two more people died, and everyone finally understood the characteristics of the winged beasts. They are extremely sensitive to moving objects.

Although they knew this, they still had no good way to act under the nose of the winged beast, they could only hit luck.

Although moving a little bit slowly, seven or eight out of ten times it will succeed, but there are always times when it is discovered by a winged beast, and once it is discovered, it means death.

Of course, some people thought of running away after arriving at the opposite supermarket, but there is an evolutionary with a special ability, he can put a mark on a person or an object, if the mark is not cleared by him after a certain time, or he actively activates it, he will Will release something that attracts polar beasts.

Everyone saw his experiment, so no one dared to escape.

But when Yu Qingming and other four people were forced to take food by two evolutionaries, the four of them discussed that it would be better to take a risk and escape from the city than to be found and eaten by a winged beast. It cannot be effective all the time, there must be a time limit.

In the end, although they got out of the city by chance, they were still targeted by a winged beast and chased them for more than ten kilometers. In the end, three of them were burned to death, and only he survived.
