In the meeting room of Beihai County, the chief officer in charge of the county's defense, Zhong Li Nan, was frowning as he listened to the report of the man with sword-like eyebrows.
"Chief Zhong Li Nan, many of the ammunition stored in the armory have been destroyed by an unknown enemy. I'm afraid that the inside of the armory has been infiltrated by evil creatures. This is definitely not a coincidence with the attack of the mutated rats on the factory. The other two groups of ice beasts are gathering in Beihai County. We need to find backup."
Zhong Li Nan frowned and asked, "What kind of evil creature can unite the ice beasts and the rats?"
The man with sword-like eyebrows shook his head and said, "I don't know. The main problem now is that the ice beasts are wreaking havoc in the city. The mutated rats underground are also stirring up trouble, but we don't have any backup. If this drags on, the tens of millions of people in the city will face a huge disaster."
Zhong Li Nan closed his eyes and pondered for a while. After a long time, he said, "The matter is not that serious. Beihai County is an important city for the human race. There are a lot of military machinery factories here. The higher-ups will not give up on this place. I have already asked for help from the Mecha Brigade. There are also heavy tanks following behind.
Everything has its nemesis. The human race's gunpowder is the nemesis of these ice beasts. They also have a trump card, which is the fuel air bomb that can ignite the air and cause high temperatures. This kind of weapon can suck out oxygen in a large area. It is a large-scale weapon of mass destruction, so it can't be used in densely populated areas. However, if it is really a matter of life and death, they can't care so much.
…
A few days later, small groups of ice beasts have been wandering around the outskirts of the city. There are no signs of them leaving. Every household is starting to have a shortage of food. Now that there is a distribution system, there is very little food stored in the household. The braver ones have begun to carefully search for food on the streets. There are many ice beast corpses on the ground, but these corpses are like lumps of jelly.
Zhang Wenqian, on the other hand, was not short of food. In the past few days, she had become a little plump because Luo Kai would go out every night. When he came back, he would bring back a lot of food. Sometimes, he would even bring back some drinks and snacks, making her feel as if she had returned to a year ago.
The young couple next door began to quarrel again because of food. The husband was timid and did not dare to go on duty, let alone go out to look for food. The wife despised her husband for being a coward, so these days, they had been quarreling from morning to night.
Zhang Wenqian was a little annoyed by the noise. She peeked at Luo Kai, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, and asked weakly, "Well … Can I bring some food to them?"
Luo Kai slowly opened his eyes. Instead of answering her, he said softly, "I want to take you away from here. Are you willing to come with me?"
Zhang Wenqian opened her mouth slightly. She was already used to the existence of Luo Kai. She even secretly felt that having such a boyfriend was pretty good. She couldn't help but ask in astonishment, "Why do you want to leave? Isn't the situation stabilized now?"
Luo Kai shook his head and said, "The situation is not stable. The main swarm has not been destroyed but landed in the sea not far away. The army has not moved yet. There must be a big problem, so I'll take you away."
Zhang Wenqian hesitated and asked, "Then … Where are we going?"
Luo Kai thought for a while and said softly, "I want to take you to Shangjing. That is the capital of the human race. It should be safer there."
Zhang Wenqian was silent. She was not willing to go to Shangjing because there was someone she did not want to see there.
Luo Kai would not force her. He just sighed softly. These days, he had been hesitating. Whether it was humans or beasts, he did not want to kill easily.
…
At night, Luo Kai wandered around the city like a ghost. A large number of ice beasts were gathering here. They stopped near the coastline as if they were waiting for something. In addition, there were many heretical life forms lurking in the city. There were mutated rats and some incorporeal life forms under the ground. They were leaning on the bodies of humans, waiting for an opportunity to move.
He did not know what would happen to this city in the future. He also did not know what the future of the human race would be like. These years, he had learned a lot of things. There were many enemies lurking in this world. Not only were there external enemies, there were also internal enemies. Relatively speaking, the most terrifying one was the mysterious "Dark Realm".
These days, in order to resist the cold, people had burned almost everything that could be burned. The fluorite lamps on the streets were also destroyed. The city without light was dark and cold. It was like a dead city.
When he passed by a heavily guarded building that looked like an armory, he suddenly stopped. A strange aura came from the darkness.
The security of this building was much stricter than he had imagined. Occasionally, a few ice beasts would approach, but they were immediately killed by the snipers.
He stood quietly in the sky above the armory. Everyone's whispers, breathing, and heartbeats echoed clearly in his ears. He filtered through them and soon heard strange voices. They came from the underground bunker at the bottom of the building. The voices sounded like a man and a woman. "Hehe, don't worry.
Most of the ice beasts are creatures from the Arctic sea. They could not enter the temperature-controlled sea before, but it is different now. They are not only active in the Arctic. They will even land on the coast of the North Sea on a large scale. I think some of them have already gone to Shang Jing. All the surrounding human armies will definitely go to support them. There are no more reinforcements in the North Sea County.
The man smiled and said, "Very good. Little Blossom, you have done a great job this time. Master will be very happy. How is the situation at the armory?"
The woman's voice became gloomy. "The University of Shang Jing is really powerful!
The blueprints of the latest high-intensity light weapons have been obtained. They are trying to produce them. I only saw the blueprints of some of the parts. The Judicial Department is doing an internal review. They have found our way. I will leave soon. I am afraid that I will not be able to destroy it. "
Hearing this, Luo Kai frowned. Endless darkness gathered. Soon, he was like a swirling dark vortex. He silently sneaked into the base.
After passing through the heavily guarded sentry posts, they arrived at the underground bunker. This was a resource center. Food, ammunition, and firearms were piled up like mountains. In one of the rooms, there was a man and a woman who seemed to be on duty in shifts. Both of them looked ordinary and seemed to be ordinary technicians.
The conversation inside was still going on. The man asked in a low voice, "How is the power of the light weapons?
Are they really our nemesis? "
"Very powerful. I have seen the specific data. This kind of weapon is impossible to dodge. It is also very powerful. According to human standards, even physical trainers would not be able to withstand more than a few hits."
The man frowned and thought hard for a while. He said, "If there is no other way, let Master do it himself. We can destroy the blueprints and kill all the people from the University of Shang Jing."
"We have not been able to contact Master recently. Also, there is a human Saint in the University of Shang Jing.
Just then, a male voice suddenly interrupted. "Are you all from the Dark World?"
The two of them turned their heads at the same time. They did not know when a thin young man had appeared in the room. He looked at them indifferently with sparkling eyes.
The man's expression changed. He immediately pressed on a slightly protruding wall. Suddenly, something like a nozzle poked out of the walls of the basement. Then, white mist gushed out from it.
Luo Kai didn't dodge. He just frowned slightly. The toxicity of the white mist was very overbearing. It seeped directly into his body through his pores, but the corrosive poison had no effect on his solidified body. It was as if even the most powerful poison couldn't affect metal.
The white mist turned into a white vortex and surrounded him. Everything in the world could not be separated from the five elements. After entering the Saint level, one could freely transform the energy of the five elements. Although he had not completely merged the five elements into one, he had mastered the low-level transformation method. This terrible poison was just a mass of energy to him.
