Lang Hua woke up after sunrise the next day.
After eating something, he first rushed to "Shaohai" on the south bank of Qingshi, a semi-enclosed bay that is approximately trumpet-shaped.
Affected by the ocean monsoon, the ice age in Shaohai is shorter. To the naked eye, the ice caps in the vast shallow water areas in the west have melted. A large number of broken and melted sea ice blocks are rushing to the shore under the influence of north wind and tide, and are piled up layer by layer in different shapes.
At this time, only the central area of the bay is left with ice.
Seeing that there was still a large area of ice caps, Lang Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
The wind at the beach was slightly stronger and the air was slightly cooler, which made Lang Hua feel a slight tingling on his skin several times. He tightened his collar and climbed onto the rooftop of a residential building near the north shore of Shaohai. He took off his backpack and hid it behind several potted plants, leaving only some weapons hanging on his body and quietly waiting for the night to fall.
During the long wait, Lang Hua lay half-lying on a chair with his eyes closed, silently sorting out the information in his mind.
Remember that after the apocalypse officially begins, there will be large-scale eruptions of black mist twice a year. On a dark night when no one is paying attention, various indicators of the spore black mist will increase exponentially in a short period of time, forming a "black mist tide" similar to the tide of the ocean.
After sunrise, the peak concentration of the black fog fell back, and the world returned to normal. In fact, the spore black fog has completed further transformation of the environment and individual organisms, which is what people often call "the deepening of the apocalyptic process."
According to time calculation, tonight will be the second eruption of the spore black mist since "Advent Day". For this reason, Lang Hua set off from Shashi in advance and came here early to stay.
The undisturbed time passed quickly, and it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon when Lang Hua opened his eyes again.
At this time, he no longer delayed and used "Re-Engraving-Feng Cheng" to fly to the sea. A minute later, Lang Hua's figure appeared on the sea surface of Shaohai.
The seaside in the apocalypse is undisturbed. The recent snow melted for several days, and there is still a layer of pure white snow particles on some ice surfaces, which creaks when stepped on. Further on the sea, there is a frozen red and white ferry and several small wooden fishing boats. The wooden boats are covered with mottled blue paint. Two cables pass through the iron ring on the bow of the boat and go down diagonally. to below sea ice.
At this time, the sun is shining in the west, giving the world its final nostalgia with endless warmth. Following a line of footprints across the snowfield, Lang Hua came to the center of the bay, which is also the smoothest and smoothest area compared to other places.
After winter, the temperature drops sharply. Due to the superposition of waves in some areas of the bay, wave-like ice sculptures of different shapes are formed, causing the sea surface to be uneven, which is completely different from the rivers and lakes in winter.
In this huge bay, only the 100-meter area under Lang Hua's feet was flat as a mirror. Looking around, the surface of the ice sheet reflects a moist luster in the sunlight, and there are already some criss-crossing cracks in many places.
He noticed some white clumps of crystals in the ice, which were salt bubbles precipitated during the formation of sea ice. And deeper in the sea ice, there are many gray-black air mass particles, densely packed together, like the dirt stained when the sea ice is formed.
Seeing these "dirty ice", Lang Hua knew he was in the right place.
Dense fog often occurs late at night in winter. When sea ice forms, the salt in the seawater is precipitated, forming salt bubbles. The seawater is fully mixed with the air under the action of strong winds and tides, absorbing a large amount of nano-scale black mist air masses.
Eventually, these spore black mist air masses were trapped in the ice. The spore community fell into dormancy due to low temperature and lack of oxygen. The produced bun crystal energy gradually tended to crystallize, forming a "black mist vortex" similar to that but more powerful in effectiveness. "Black Mist Condensation Nucleus".
From the gaseous state to the liquid state and then to the crystallized state, it is a process of continuous concentration of black mist energy. It's the same thing as a living body absorbing the black mist energy floating in the air to form its own energy crystal nucleus.
…
In the evening, the huge sun sets on the top of the mountain, a golden disk with a fiery red edge.
Lang Hua has never seen such a bright sunset since the black fog broke out. In a short period of time, the sunlight intensifies sharply, like a flash of light, and the dazzling light makes people unable to open their eyes.
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
He opened his eyes, but unexpectedly could not feel any temperature.
In the east, there is a bright white shadow in the whitish blue sky. That's not the sun's reflection on the sea, that's the moon. It is also as big as a round disk, as colored as white jade, and also like a Yao mirror, flying in the blue clouds.
The huge moon echoes the sun in the west. These two giants, stretched and enlarged by the fog and the horizon, hang in the sky overlooking the world, bringing a full sense of oppression to the tiny human beings.
At this time when the sun and the moon are shining together, the gravitational force acts on the blue star, the wind gradually rises on the seashore, and the huge waves gradually rise in the depths of the far sea, and the ice cap in the center of the bay also trembles sharply.
Lang Hua stood in the center of the ice cap, silently holding his right hand to the handle of the knife. He knew that the black mist tide was coming.
"Kakakaka——"
After the beginning of spring, the ice has been exposed to the sun for days, and many cracks have already appeared. At this time, they were shaken by strong winds and huge waves, which was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Just a few violent "clicks" were heard, and several huge penetrating cracks appeared in the distance. The crack came out of the surging black mist, extending at a speed of 100 meters per second, and reached Lang Hua's feet in a matter of seconds.
Lang Hua jumped up before the crack hit. After landing, he was hit by many snow and broken ice blown by the wind, making a "tata" sound.
He looked at the thick black mist that created a whirlwind in a short period of time, felt the increasingly intense spore crystal energy activity around him, and the blood flow accelerated from head to toe, and he unconsciously felt a sense of excitement.
"Should we start?"
It takes time for the Black Mist Tide to reach its peak, but some guys don't seem to want to give Lang Hua time.
In the black mist circulation, Lang Hua completely released his perception skills in the crystal core field, but suddenly found a powerful life form approaching.
That guy is extremely fast, and the direction he's coming from is at his feet!
"boom!"
With his naked eyes, Lang Hua could only see a black shadow whizzing across the cracked ice, and then the ice cap under his feet exploded.
Lang Hua's reaction was not slow at all. He jumped up immediately, but unexpectedly, a thick and long strip came out of the sea with a "swipe" and wrapped around Lang Hua's right leg in an instant.
Only then did he see clearly that what was wrapped around him was a huge tentacle, covered with fist-sized white suckers. There were even sharp teeth around the suckers, which pierced and creaked under Lang Hua's clothes.
This sound just makes my scalp numb!
The tentacles wrapped around him tighter and tighter, and at a certain moment, Lang Hua's trousers were torn apart, revealing a thick layer of scales inside the trousers. The big thing in the sea seemed to be gradually exerting force, and the tentacles connecting Lang Hua stretched into a straight line.
Seeing this, the other party actually wanted to drag Lang Hua into the sea and devour him!
"Re-Engraving-Starfire!"
At the critical moment, a layer of flame appeared on the surface of Lang Hua's bound calf. This flame was as orchid-purple and would not be extinguished when exposed to water, but it was extremely harmful to living organisms. Within a moment, there was only a "sizzling" sound, and the monster's arms and legs were suddenly scorched black, and green smoke came out repeatedly.
The smell of grilled squid exudes from the sea.
In pain, the guy let go of Lang Hua. The latter fled into the air and looked down, only to find that there were many fine and deep scratches on the surface of the leg armor.
This snake scale armor was specially made by Wu Ke for Lang Hua and others after the siege, using the skin and scales of the mutated snake that he had killed in the air raid shelter. If it weren't for the presence of these scales, Lang Hua would be the one now covered in blood and flesh.
There was a splashing sound from the sea surface, and several more identical arms and legs emerged from the hole that the monster first opened. These behemoths worked together to push through the ice with a loud bang, expanding the hole several times.
Lang Hua looked at the soft monster that came out later and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Giant octopus!"
The formation of the black mist condensed core attracted powerful mutated creatures after all.
Strike first to gain the upper hand! When two strong men meet, it will be a life-or-death fight that no one will let go of!
At this moment, Lang Hua and the octopus sea beast seemed to want to go together.
I saw seedlings in the air. The knife was unsheathed and met three tentacles rushing up.
The blade collided with several suction cups on the tentacles, but rarely cut them off.
"So tough."
Lang Hua secretly praised it, and then discovered that each of these arms and legs had its own body thickness. Even the slenderest tip was thicker than his arm.
Wu Ke's refined titanium alloy knife collided with it, and the blade even sparked golden sparks with several sharp teeth on the suction cup!
With a "swipe" sound, the cold wind whistled behind Lang Hua's head.
He lowered his head to dodge, gave up taking off, and fell rapidly, only to avoid the attacks of several other tentacles.
Dark fog rolled in at night, and the brightness of the moonlight was greatly reduced. Octopus vision is particularly developed, and this environment is extremely disadvantageous to Lang Hua.
"One, two, three, four, five, there should be three more tentacles."
After landing, Lang Hua swam on the ice. He didn't want to confront the octopus and sea beast head-on for the moment, but the latter pursued him, as if he regarded Lang Hua as an appetizer before the black mist core formed.
This is simply a humiliation for Lang Hua, not to mention that the place occupied by the other party is exactly the sea area where the dirty ice was formed. If Lang Hua still wants to plot this black mist core, he will inevitably have to fight with Octopus The sea beasts compete with each other.
"Damn it, stop hiding!"
At this time, the first wave of black fog tends to end, and more and more parts of the thin fog can be illuminated by the moonlight. Lang Hua took the opportunity to kneel down and avoid a tentacle that shot over his head.
He then turned around and returned, instantly activating his two basic abilities of edge and thrust, and rushed towards the opponent in a short period of time.
Lang Hua walked quickly on the ice, his blade hidden.
Twenty meters...
Ten meters...
Five meters...
Only then did Lang Hua see the whole thing clearly through the moonlight. Except for the eight tentacles, the oval head was as big as a locomotive, and there was only one "fat" thing about his body.
"It doesn't matter if you are a fish or a pig, let me kill you with one strike!"
There was a "ding, ding, ding" sound, and Lang Hua was forced to draw his sword in advance as he was still far away from the giant octopus.
It turned out that this sea beast controlled the tentacles to come back and blocked Lang Hua at the critical moment. The latter had to fight these difficult guys first.
The octopus sea beast uses three arms and legs to support its body, while the remaining five fight independently. It was almost equivalent to Lang Hua fighting five different enemies at the same time.
This guy has two memory systems, 500 million neurons, a main brain and eight subsidiary brains all over his body. Each arm has an independent brain. Compared with humans, it is simply an alien monster.
After fighting for a long time, Lang Hua somewhat figured out this guy's attack methods. He first used his knife to block several incoming tentacles, and then his body suddenly accelerated, passing through the layers of blockade by other tentacles, and came to the octopus with his knife.
This is directly in front of the octopus. The octopus's eyes are on both sides of its head. The place between the boundaries of the two eyes' fields of view is the position with the worst field of view.
Lang Hua aimed at the weak spot connecting its head and eight legs, and slashed with his sword without hesitation!
"Empty Blade Slash!"
The blade sliced through the air, causing a sharp sound, and the surrounding air slowly rippled. The blade of the Blood Roaring Miao knife was slightly red, and it exploded with powerful lethality after being injected with crystal energy.
"bass--"
"Crack!" The blade struck the empty ice surface, and a crack appeared diagonally downward, more than one meter deep.
Water vapor curled up around the crack, as if the heat generated by the friction between the sword energy and the ice layer melted the ice chips.
Even Lang Hua himself did not expect that this sword attack would actually fail.
At the critical moment, the smelly octopus actually managed to use its arms and legs to support its body and push itself backwards, narrowly escaping the fatal blow.
Missing a single hit, Lang Hua moved forward again without hesitation.
At the same time, a thick and long tentacle whipped at the place where Lang Hua was just standing, almost hitting Lang Hua.
No matter whether the previous moves were successful or not, Lang Hua always felt calm.
Use advance instead of retreat, use attack instead of defense, and constantly pursue in order to find the next exploitable flaw!
