Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

At this time, the inner circle of the base was completely shrouded in black fog. The visibility was extremely low at a glance, especially under the second floor. The black fog was as thick as the black fog produced after an explosion. The only difference was that the black nematodes hidden in the black fog could instantly suck all living things.

At this time in the dark room, several people wearing biochemical suits were holding water guns and spraying the front continuously.

After seeing a three or four meter high water column shot out, the originally thick black fog instantly became thinner.

These people wearing biochemical suits are all Self-Defense Force members dispatched by the base government. Experiments have been conducted in the laboratory before. The black fog is spread by wind and cannot penetrate entities. As long as there is no skin contact, it will not be inhaled.

They are now in a villa area 50 meters away from where the politicians and dignitaries are. The water pipes are also connected from here. There are three water pipes in total. The strong water pressure requires two people to hold the water pipes at the same time to avoid being knocked back by the impact force.

After one of the Self-Defense Force members flushed out the water column, he saw the thick black fog diluted into a light smoky gray, and gradually he could see the floc-like insect bodies floating in the air.

Under their feet were nematodes that were wetted and washed down by the water. The nematodes, which were originally as thick as fingers, would quickly shrink and wilt after being touched by water, becoming worm bodies the size of earthworms.

The Self-Defense Force members wearing chemical protective suits stepped on tens of thousands of shrunken nematodes, making a disgusting sound like a dull, liquid-splashing sound.

The soft touch under their feet made them endure the discomfort and continue to raise the water pipes in their hands to flush the black fog.

Such situations also occur in other places, but they have been replaced by using sprinkler trucks and fog cannon trucks. The sprinkler trucks themselves also have dust suppression functions, and the water mist they spray directly is sprayed at a height of seven or eight meters and then falls, which to a certain extent slows down the spread of the black fog.

But this is not a solution after all. After all, the range of the black fog is too wide. Unless people with extremely strong mental powers release their powers at the same time, they can curb the spread of the black fog to a certain extent.

However, a psychic with strong mental power must first be a psychic, and his level must be above B-level. The second level must be A-level or S-level psychic. The mental power of these psychics is extremely strong. The known range of mental power of B-level psychics is about one hundred meters, while that of A-level can reach five hundred meters. If it is an S-level psychic, the highest known range of mental power coverage on Blue Star is five kilometers, which can also cover mountains, rivers and forests.

This time, the top government officials of the base dispatched more than twenty A-class psychics, forty B-class psychics, and two S-class psychics, but they were power and fire psychics respectively, so they could not use water abilities. They could only release their own mental power to force the black fog back about one kilometer. Even so, the black fog was still slowly advancing.

There were several artillery fires overhead. Several armed helicopters were hanging several huge water tanks at an altitude of several hundred meters, and were now spraying water overhead along the blocks.

However, the number of armed helicopters is limited. Sixty percent of them have been deployed to suppress the beast tide. Currently, there are less than ten left in the base. Under the order of the first CEO Chen Zhijun, six have been dispatched and are basically concentrated in the inner circle.

In the worst case scenario, even if we have to sacrifice some people in the outer circle, we have to keep the inner circle, because the inner circle is not only the residence of high-end talents and high-level psychics, but also the main concentration point of government agencies. Therefore, we must do everything we can to preserve the interests of this group of people.

At this time, the people in the outer circle still didn't know what they were encountering, but for now, according to the notice issued by the base before, as long as the doors and windows were closed and water was used to isolate the black objects, there had been no major casualties for the time being, so some people began to develop a mentality of luck and rebellion.

Inside the guesthouse, Lan Qin saw several shadowy figures flashing inside a three-story building diagonally opposite.

At this time, Xiaoli was lying on the sofa, and she found a comfortable position to sleep. Without the Internet, she could not surf the Internet. In addition, the weather was hot. Xiaoli went from being scared at the beginning to being bored after temporarily settling down. She was basically in a state of emptiness. She felt like she could sweat even when she was lying with her eyes closed.

The proprietress took some food to the only socket outlet in the corridor to cook. She couldn't go to the kitchen on the first floor to get things. After all, it was not clear whether the black fog had penetrated the first floor. Fortunately, she had some good quality japonica rice in her room. She planned to use it to make some rice porridge. It was hot in summer and she couldn't eat rice, so it was nice to drink some porridge.

Lan Qin had been looking at the building opposite. When she found the shadow of a man holding a knife, her eyes widened. Then she turned and walked to Xiaoli, stretched out her hand and shook her awake, "Sister Xiaoli, there seems to be something wrong across the street."

Xiao Li opened half of her eyelids, and she looked listless. Even when Lan Qin pushed her, she still didn't move. Instead, she spoke in a muffled voice, "Hmm? What's the matter?"

"There's a family across the street who seems to be threatened with a knife. Hurry up and take a look." Lan Qin said as she pulled Xiaoli up from the sofa.

Xiaoli got up lazily, and walked unsteadily. She staggered and almost hit the coffee table in front of her. Fortunately, Lan Qin supported her.

When Xiaoli followed Lan Qin's gaze to look at the window opposite, her initial nonchalant look turned into a frown. The more she looked, the more she felt something was wrong, until she seemed to hear a shrill sound, and saw a woman with blood on her forehead, looking crazy, and she actually pushed open the closed window.

Several men behind her tried to pull her back, but it was too late. After the woman pushed open all the windows, there was a burst of sharp laughter.

Although the windows of the guesthouse were closed, one could vaguely hear the curses and laughter of the woman opposite. It felt like a madman who was so grief-stricken that he no longer had any attachment to life, shouting out to society.

Not only were the woman's clothes stained with blood, but a closer look revealed that she was just casually throwing her clothes on, and her hair was disheveled. Her miserable and miserable image made Xiaoli suddenly think of a possibility, and then she was suddenly pulled by several men behind her and tried to leave through the window.

However, the nematodes in the black fog would not give them the chance to escape or close the window. In just a short moment, the nematodes smelled the blood on the woman and the living things in the house, and immediately released more black thread-like worms in the black fog.

The nematodes crawled in through the open windows and wrapped around all the humans inside who still had signs of life like thin threads.

Countless nematodes wrapped around the naked woman like thin threads, making her look like a cocoon. In just a few minutes, the woman was gnawed away, leaving only a bloody skeleton.

Seeing the woman become like this, no one dared to approach the window easily. One person was even frightened and sat down on the ground shaking. Another man behind him yelled at him to close the window quickly, at least to control the insects as they were getting more and more.

But the man had no way of hearing the sound behind him. He was so scared that he wet his pants. There was a mark of water on his crotch and his knees were still shaking violently.

The man had already lost his basic rationality, and kept muttering: "Bugs, so many bugs, hahaha, so many bugs, wuwuwu, I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I shouldn't have come in if I had known."

The remaining three men looked at each other in bewilderment. The man on the far right poured water forward with a bucket and shouted, "What the hell are you all standing there for? Go to the toilet and get some water. Do you all want to die here?!"

He was the calmest among the group, and this burglary was also planned by the man.

The man and the dead woman were neighbors, but he was an old bachelor. His wife and daughter died in the third month after the natural disaster, and the man had been living in the base ever since. But before the end of the world, the man was a plumber, and he had some skills, so after entering the base, he found a good plumber's job, which allowed him to get at least 600 to 700 points a month. Occasionally, he could earn some extra money by repairing water and electricity for rich people in the inner circle, and his living standard was above average, but the man liked to gamble, especially when the base expressly prohibited all kinds of gambling activities, he still committed crimes against the wind, and even during a hunting activity some time ago, he had set up bets himself, but he lost everything and owed a lot of debts, and even his old lover ran away. The man had been living in poverty all this time, and he had originally thought that after the hunting activity, he would be able to go to the rich area in the inner circle to earn some extra money and improve his life as soon as possible, but he did not expect to encounter a city-wide curfew.

The life of the family of three living next door to the man is completely different from his. The man next door is a shoe repairman. He goes from door to door every day to repair shoes for people. He can't earn more than five or six hundred points a month. Surprisingly, because they were residents of the surrounding area before the end of the world and their brother was a former member of the Self-Defense Forces who died in the war, the government specially rented a house here to the family of three at a very low price.

Every day, he could hear the laughter of a family of three next door, and saw his young wife kissing him lovingly after sending someone out the door, which made the man feel increasingly dark.

During the martial law period, most of the city's armed forces went to the northern forest to suppress the beast tide, so the frequency of Self-Defense Force patrols in the city was reduced compared to before. Coupled with several insect attacks, even the Self-Defense Force rarely appeared outdoors.

So the man planned to take advantage of this time to attack his neighbor.

Last night, before the black fog appeared in the base, the man and some scoundrels who had gambled with him before were planning how to carry out a burglary.

Originally, a group of people were planning to enter the house during the power outage tonight, but the alarm suddenly sounded in the base, and the neighbors next door were busy coming in and out, so the man made an excuse to check the water pipes for them, otherwise they would have no water source when the black fog entered the city and would have to wait to die.

First they knocked the male owner unconscious and then killed him, then they insulted the female owner. These worse than beasts even threw a child under the age of two behind the block, leaving the child to be gnawed by the mutant rats that swarmed over.

These beasts even cut off the power lines in the house, just because they were worried that the woman would find a way to get in touch with the outside world.

After being abused for a whole morning, the woman learned that her child had been brutally murdered. Her original numbness and allowing of bullying turned into anger and hatred, and she finally chose to perish together with these demons.

The man who had rushed to the toilet came out in a hurry, his voice even crying, "No, no, there is no water in the faucet, is there a water shortage in the base?"

"You're kidding. How could the water be out of service? The base hasn't announced any water outages in recent days. Bring the basin with you. I'll go check if the pipe is burst or blocked."

The man turned around and put the washbasin with only half a basin of water left in it in his hand, then rushed to the toilet with gritted teeth.

After checking, I found out in despair that neither the water pipes nor the faucets were damaged, but the water meter did not move.

In fact, the base is indeed in a state of water outage. Because the whole city needs to use water to carry out the extermination, helicopters in the sky and the Self-Defense Forces need to get water. The water plant in the base cannot supply normal water for the time being, so it was decided to temporarily cut off the water supply to some areas in the outer circle.

This decision is also a stopgap measure. After all, the black fog has now spread to the inner circle, and the remaining psychics are simply unable to control the speed of the spread.

At this time, some people in the outer circle were already panicking, but most people remained calm. After knowing that water sources could block the black fog, many people had already collected water in various containers at home in advance in case of emergency.

In the apocalypse, humans have long been trained to have emergency response capabilities to deal with various natural disasters. In fact, the family that was killed also wanted to get water in advance, but unfortunately they were harmed by this group of people before they could do it.

There was a howling sound outside the bathroom. The man turned around suddenly and saw that his other two accomplices were being entangled by the black nematodes that poured into the room.

One of them stretched out his hand, and the wriggling nematodes in his hand were gnawing at the intact skin bit by bit, and there was even a sound of flesh being chewed.

The man's scalp tingled and he subconsciously closed the bathroom door, no longer paying attention to the desperate look of his accomplice outside.

There were only two wet towels left in the bathroom. The man quickly picked them up and blocked the door. Unfortunately, the weather was hot and most of the moisture in the towels evaporated in less than half an hour. At this time, a rumbling sound was heard from the faucet.

The man thought it was a sign that water was coming, and excitedly pulled out the towel that was blocking the door and pressed it against the faucet. Finally, a tiny stream of water spurted out, but the amount of water was less than 100 milliliters, not even enough to completely wet the towel.

At this moment, a sound of friction and wriggling on the floor caught the man's attention.

The man turned his head stiffly, and suddenly saw countless nematodes crawling in through the crack in the door and slowly coming to his side...

A few minutes later, accompanied by the man's painful groan, the sound of chewing came from the toilet.
