On the third day of the war, heavy fog fell in the second city.
The artillery fire rarely stopped. Those who were well-informed already knew that the fourth base had fallen, and the second base was also destroyed by aliens this morning. Because each base had different retreat plans, almost all ordinary residents within the two bases were killed, and few escaped. .
The only good thing is that [Stinger] is finally completed.
Baizhu finally checked the performance, and the frown that had been frowning during this period finally relaxed.
"The factory has been notified for mass production. Maybe we can complete the task before the city is destroyed."
March Hare smiled and said, no one has had a good rest recently, and she also has dark circles under her eyes.
There are still people gambling in the casino, but under the city defense ban, everyone is bored and can only gamble during the day, and they are becoming more and more irritable and prone to trouble.
"Hard."
Bai Zhu didn't say much and pushed the suitcase containing the finished product out of the casino.
Transport ships shuttled overhead, and the thick fog that made them invisible could not slow them down at all.
The Second City has already transported half of its people.
The war situation became more and more serious. In the end, even luggage was no longer allowed. The more people on board, the better. This was Noah's Ark that carried life. It was the only hope for survival. No one dared to resist, for fear of being deprived of their ticket.
But still more than 5,000 people did not leave.
Bai Zhu was pushing his suitcase and walking in the heavy fog. He suddenly paused and squinted his eyes to look ahead.
…
"The second city is in very bad condition. I heard that the outer two lines have been breached, leaving only the last city gate."
Feng Jinyun sat on the stool in the living room on the first floor, tiredness written all over his body:
"You can see waves of alien shapes standing on the rooftop, and the sea level is also rising. I have never seen that weird whale. As long as it flies up, it will bring huge waves, and it can swallow up the fort in the blink of an eye.
"If Colonel Bai hadn't used the power grid to keep it out of the safety line, the Second City would have been swallowed up by the waves it set off."
Ning Zhi: "May is the manic period for the aliens. The desire to reproduce and fight dominates the will. We are so disparate in strength that we can only hold on and evacuate, waiting for the aliens' rising desire to subside."
Feng Jinyun sighed: "How can it be so easy?"
Of course it's not that easy. The best case scenario is that they won't move forward after conquering the second city. If they keep advancing, they won't be able to defend even one city.
In other words, before the first city is attacked, the refugees in the buffer zone of the first and second cities will be the first victims.
Ning Zhi said nothing. She looked out at the thick fog and narrowed her eyes slightly uneasily:
"There's something wrong with this fog."
Feng Jinyun nodded: "Yes, it rarely gets such heavy fog, but I tested it with a detector and it didn't carry excessive pollution."
Ning Zhi: "Is the fat man out?"
"Yes, the fries are out too."
Ning Zhi concentrated on it and finally didn't say anything. She just stayed quiet for a while and talked about other things:
"Today's noon ticket, there are still two hours left, you should prepare."
Feng Jinyun frowned: "You really don't want to go with us?"
"Well," Ning Zhi nodded, "No need to persuade me, I..."
"Ahhhh monster! Monster-!!"
There was a scream outside the house, and an unknown roar penetrated the fog.
Not like a human voice, more like a beast.
Ning Zhi and Feng Jinyun looked at each other, drew their guns and rushed out of the house, just in time to bump into Fatty Liu coming back.
"What happened just now, what was the sound...Hey! Wait for me, I'll put down all the dishes!"
Fatty Liu dropped the food at the door and followed with his gun drawn.
Bai Shu retreated to the corner, and the revolver bullets he brought were swept away, but the thing in the mist did not retreat at all.
The screaming woman clearly rushed out of the building, holding a crying baby in her arms.
Behind him is another monster covered in bruises.
It looks like a human being, but its body is swollen and covered with feathers. It looks more like an alien that is about to be transformed.
Just like that thing in the fog!
Bai Zhu pushed down the suitcase, took out the stinger and installed the missile to aim it.
A monster ran out of the fog, its body covered in blue and purple with tree bark, its eyes turned white, and its hands turned into sharp branches and stabbed at the screaming pedestrians——
That's too late!
--boom!
Gunshots rang out, and then continued. Ning Zhi held two guns and pulled the trigger to drive away the tree-shaped monster.
Fatty Liu ran out of the siege from the other side.
Feng Jinyun shot to save the woman who was running from the building, and blew the head of the bird-shaped monster before it completely mutated.
"What is this?!"
Feng Jinyun suddenly changed color.
The thing she shot and killed was still wearing human clothes.
She had even seen this outfit before, it was a hunter who had a fight in the Dis bar yesterday!
Ning Zhi and Fatty Liu also finished dealing with it. They looked at the monster covered in tree bark, but its limbs were obviously human. They helped the frightened pedestrians up.
Bai Zhu frowned, paused and put the [Poisonous Stinger] back, but still did not come out of the alley.
"He drank this and said it would protect us. I didn't expect it to be like this."
The woman holding the baby was obviously frightened. She wiped her tears and cried. She took back a bottle of reagent containing a blue-violet liquid from the house.
"Did he drink this and become like this?" Fatty Liu looked at the blue-purple potion in his hand, "What is this?"
"I don't know what Alice is, what fusion effect it has. I was still conscious after drinking it yesterday, but I don't know why I went crazy this morning. First I had a headache, then my body started to swell, and finally I went crazy."
The woman cried while talking, "I should have stopped him a little bit. Who knew something like this would happen? My daughter and I are the only two left. What should we do..."
"Fusion effect? I'm afraid it's the fusion effect with alien pollution."
Feng Jinyun took the potion and looked at it, "Go back and use the instrument to test it, and you will know what it is."
"Since when did this kind of thing exist in Second City? Why have I never heard of it?"
Fatty Liu took the potion and said in shock: "Who can't think of drinking this, avoiding alien pollution, and still want to fuse? You're crazy!"
"I've heard about it in the past few days. It seems to be something over there in the West Street District," Ning Zhi said. "I originally wanted to find out more about it, but the sales were very fast and I couldn't get it at all. I've been shopping around for the past few days. It’s hard to contact other people at home, so I’ve been delayed.”
Bai Zhu listened from a distance and couldn't help tightening his lips.
It was actually more serious than the side effects she remembered.
It seems to be the first batch of preliminary experiments. Many things have not been improved, and the fatality rate is almost 100%.
Bai Shu took out his bracelet and edited a message to send this matter to Bai Lingyu.
Even if he cannot be distracted during the command, he will definitely not be able to receive the information, but at least he can be prepared.
There was a close cry from the sky, and the sound of "呲呲" was heard.
Fatty Liu was surprised: "What's going on?"
Ning Zhi frowned: "What is the sound? Is it the air defense grid?"
Air defense grid? !
Bai Zhu suddenly looked up and saw the light flickering in the heavy fog and suddenly disappearing.
"The air defense grid...disappeared?"
Everyone's faces went blank for a moment, and the sharp alarm sounded again.
The second city was lost.
