Chapter 90 Polar Night [VIP]

After returning to the Changping base, the interference just disappeared, and electricity gradually came back. Several street lights on the roadside also lit up, slightly illuminating the road ahead.

Tang Tian found a corner without surveillance cameras, parked her car, and went straight upstairs to go home. Unexpectedly, at the stairs, she met the Shen family who had just returned.

As soon as Shen Boyun saw her, he immediately said:

"Officials have figured out it's a magnetic storm caused by a disturbance in the Earth's magnetic field. It can disable electronic equipment and navigation systems... but fortunately, it's not a serious threat to humans."

Chen Yaoyue sighed:

"But it's polar night now, and electricity is most needed. Doesn't this make survival even more difficult?"

No one spoke afterwards.

After returning home, Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia also stayed at home well.

The Tang family only used the generator occasionally, and the rest of the time they used electrical abilities and batteries, so there wasn't much danger.

After selling all the cacti in stock, Wei Mingxia heard that there were a batch of other crops on the market, so she used her wood-attribute ability to grow the fungus strains that Lin Zhiqiu gave to Tang Tian, ​​and prepared to set up a stall in the mall again.

People of her generation are always busy, and going to the mall allows them to chat with outsiders.

Since Tang Tian went out, this matter naturally fell on Tang Yi.

In fact, Wei Mingxia could have gone alone. The patrol team in the shopping mall was not there to do nothing, nor were they the kind of people who bullied the weak and feared the strong in the private market. Therefore, no unrest had occurred so far.

But this time, after the mother and daughter went and quickly sold out the mushrooms they had, someone claiming to be a staff member suddenly came over and said that they had to renew the stall fee and that they could set up the stall in a better location.

They had never heard of such a rule, and after asking carefully, the latter became a little impatient.

Later they realized that the stall was a small trouble, but it was actually a disguised way of trying to get some benefits!

So Wei Mingxia and Tang Yi decided not to set up stalls in the mall anymore.

For them, setting up stalls is not about making money, but about socializing, so there is no need to rush to do it.

The same principle applies to Tang Yi. After reading the recruitment notice, she thought about going to the logistics department to see if there were any suitable jobs.

Tang Tian nodded:

"Mom, sister, you two should wait a while before going out again. I discovered another mutant bird along the way. I wonder if it will be as aggressive towards people as last time..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud "bang", as if an explosion had occurred somewhere, and this explosion... came from something like dynamite!

The three of them quickly crouched down, and a few more explosions were heard from farther away before gradually subsiding.

But when they stood up again, everyone's face was very solemn.

How could such a terrorist-inspired explosion occur in a base under official jurisdiction?

Tang Tian had a hunch: something must have happened in the base.

Moreover, at this time, most people are actually rushing to fall asleep and relieve the fatigue of the day. Could it be that the person who launched the explosion did it on purpose?

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Tang Tian opened the door, and there were Shen Boyun and Cheng Jing, who were fully armed and looked serious.

Something big did happen in the base, and the officials immediately assembled all the armed team members and headed towards the target, saying only that there was a group attack.

It is not clear what kind of group it is yet, but it is growing in the darkness of the base and must be eradicated!

After a brief explanation, Shen Boyun comforted Wei Mingxia a few more words, then left with Cheng Jing.

Tang Tian closed the door and sighed.

Even if a base is established in this world, it is still very unstable.

…

In about ten minutes, all the members of the armed team gathered in the administrative area.

Wu Yongming and Yang Gan had serious expressions on their faces, and even half of their faces were dark.

The base has never suffered such a severe blow since its construction, and now even the reason for the attack on the base is unclear.

They only understood that this group was quietly organizing and expanding, and had found ways to stockpile weapons, and finally chose this day to launch the offensive!

There are situations in both the civilian area and the middle-class area now, and only the core area with fewer people is still relatively calm. The armed team members are also trying their best to defend against the enemy in these two areas.

Shen Boyun, Cheng Jing and Yan Shuo were finally arranged to go to the core area.

After everything was ready, they followed others to the core area, dispersed on the spot with weapons in their hands, and used loudspeakers to notify residents not to go out.

Residents in the core area should have also heard the explosion, so no one went out.

In the deep night, the dust on the ground was blown up by the cold wind and slowly swirled in circles in the air.

The speaker continues to play the voice:

"Please don't go out to avoid getting hurt. Please don't go out—"

"Bang!"

Cheng Jing opened his eyes wide and immediately raised the gun in his hand towards the loud noise.

Then there was another bang, and he felt the sharp pain in his wrist, and he almost cried out in a broken voice:

"Yan Shuo, you

Because of the seriousness of this incident, all armed teams.

And the previous bullet was hit in the wrist.

It is impossible for a bulletproof vest to protect the feet.

This was another sudden attack from someone around him. Shen Boyun fell to the ground involuntarily, but he immediately pointed his gun at the person behind him.

However, Yan Shuo took the lead, knocked the gun out of his hand, and snatched Cheng Jing's as well.

"You...why are you doing this?"

Shen Boyun was a little confused.

The relationship between Yan Chunhua and Yan Lei is not extremely close, but they are siblings. He and Shen Yaoyue often get together with the two brothers Yan Shuo and Yan Huai, and they have a good relationship.

He could imagine that he might be injured this time, but he never thought that he would be injured at the hands of his loved ones!

The soft moonlight sprinkled on Yan Shuo, creating a halo and an inexplicable blood color.

There happened to be a street lamp that was still on not far from here. Because of the light, the two of them also saw Yan Shuo's slightly angry expression, and it seemed that he was gritting his teeth.

"It seems that you want a reason."

Yan Shuo finally spoke, and his words seemed to be squeezed out tightly.

"My family relies on you like a dependent. I'm no worse than you, but the boss only sees you. Is this a reason?"

He pointed the gun at Cheng Jing again, his face twisted, and it was unclear whether he was truly filled with hatred or was infected by this dark night that would never see the dawn.

"I'm willing to do anything for Qiao Shiyu, but she only pays attention to you and doesn't even look at me... I get nothing, nothing!!"

"Yan Shuo! I didn't realize you were so ungrateful before!"

Cheng Jing was so angry that he jumped up and grabbed the muzzle of the gun and raised it up, trying to force his way through.

You have to know that the entire Yan family's ability to gain a foothold in the base depends entirely on the Shen family. And Yan Shuo holds a grudge over such trivial matters, how can this not raise one's blood pressure?

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several more gunshots rang out in the night, but thankfully no one was hurt.

Shen Boyun stood up unsteadily, his face gloomy. He stopped Cheng Jing and suddenly asked:

"Yan Shuo...does this attack have anything to do with you?!"

…

"I hope that this time, we can really see the light..."

"The families next door at No. 15 and No. 16 have all made sacrifices, but we haven't. What if we can't reach the light?"

"I heard that the one offered by number 15 is a young woman. That should also be possible..."

Qiao Shiyu squatted at the door, covering her mouth tightly with both hands, not daring to make a sound at all.

Her parents must be crazy!

When Qiao Shiyu first saw the leaflets being distributed in the core area, which were propaganda leaflets, she had always believed that her parents would not believe them.

But later she discovered that her parents not only went to that mysterious place, but also prayed with other believers. In the end, she even forced herself to believe!

Qiao Shiyu thought that it was because of this apocalypse that her previously wealthy parents always felt uneasy, so she had to half-heartedly pretend to have this belief.

But she never expected that things would develop to this point.

Not only did the explosion happen at the base, but even his own biological parents actually thought of sacrificing him?!

Qiao Shiyu wanted to escape.

And for some reason, she quickly knew who to go to.

One has to admit that although she was defeated repeatedly by Tang Tian, ​​it also indirectly reflected her strength.

What's more, she also knew that Cheng Jing was her neighbor, and this matter must be told to the armed forces!

Qiao Shiyu slowly stood up, her legs and feet were numb. After a while, she tiptoed to pick up her bag, left the house, and ran forward.

There seemed to be a hint of gunpowder mixed in the biting cold wind. She gasped for breath and soon felt her mouth dry and her nose sore.

But compared with life, these are nothing.

But on the way, she unexpectedly met those acquaintances and saw this scene.

"Yan Shuo! What are you doing!!"

Qiao Shiyu rushed forward angrily and pushed Yan Shuo away, not just because he hurt Cheng Jing.

However, this action angered Yan Shuo even more. He raised the butt of his gun and smashed it hard on Qiao Shiyu's head, shouting angrily:

"I fucking like you so much, why do you look at me like a dog, bitch!——"

"Bang!--"

A puff of smoke rose from the muzzle of the gun.

At that moment, everyone fell silent, leaving only the sound of the wind.

But this was not the gun fired by Yan Shuo, nor was it an accidental discharge of the gun.

But it was Shen Boyun who fired the gun.

He calmly put down the hand/gun with a slight smoke coming out of the muzzle. This was what he had obtained from the enemy before entering the shelter.

Normally, they needed to be handed over in the shelter, but just in case, the Shen family secretly kept a few of them. Unexpectedly, they came in handy.

Qiao Shiyu only felt a dull pain in her head, which forced her to cover her head. Her legs went weak and she sat on the ground in horror.

From just now until now, there has been so much information that her mind is a mess.

Cheng Jing went forward to check, then turned around and whispered:

"Dead."

It is impossible for Yan Shuo to wear a bulletproof vest.

"Um."

Shen Boyun responded softly, and after a pause, he said:

"Just say he was attacked by the enemy."

Qiao Shiyu's breathing became heavier.

Because the next second, she saw with her own eyes that the pitch-black muzzle of the gun was pointed at her again, as if the person in front of her had gone crazy with killing.

"Now...tell me everything you know."

…

Occasionally, explosions can be heard in the base. I don’t know where they stockpiled the explosives, but if the bombings continue like this, I’m afraid the base that has just stabilized will be in dire straits again.

Tang Tian also speculated that these explosions were likely concentrated in civilian areas, with fewer in the middle-class areas and even fewer in the core areas. Could it be a rebellion from the civilian areas? Had the previous incident not subsided?

At this moment, she received a message from Cheng Jing through the intercom:

"Tang Tian, ​​we finally figured out what happened!"

He then proceeded to explain briefly.

It turns out that this is not just a simple resistance, but a base in the dark, which gave birth to a belief at some point and then gradually accumulated into an organization.

Not only are there believers in all three areas, but they are also scattered around and are rapidly expanding throughout the Changping base.

Normally he looks like any other survivor, but secretly he is organizing manpower and strength.

The civilian areas want to survive, while the rich people in the core areas who have the conditions to survive want more of a belief that can keep them alive, and even voluntarily send supplies to keep the church growing.

It's just that this church may have been crooked from the beginning. In order to obtain more survival supplies, it continued to brainwash its believers. Only after the conditions were met did it launch this terrorist attack.

But this church is named "Dawn" and is called "Dawn Church".

As you can imagine, this time the turmoil is much bigger than the last time.

The more Tang Tian listened, the more she frowned. This was much worse than she had imagined.

"You should be with Shen Boyun, right? What's the official situation now?"

Cheng Jing kept talking about the whole story and didn't say anything about himself.

He seemed to be about to speak, but the voice changed:

"We are fine. We are now preparing to hand the suspect over to the authorities. This is also equivalent to protecting him and providing information. You stay home and don't go out."

Shen Boyun said hurriedly and cut off the connection.

Tang Tian rubbed her Jingmingxue, feeling a little helpless.

So, they must have had an accident.

She told Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia the news, but she had already made another decision in her mind.

Wei Mingxia seemed to have noticed it, and she pursed her lips before asking:

"Tiantian, you actually want to go, right?"

"Given her current personality, she will not only go there, but will also go to the armed forces in the future."

Tang Yi also shook her head, but there seemed to be something else behind her words, as if she not only wanted to join in destroying the Dawn Society.

Tang Tian didn't respond, but clenched his fists and said in a deep voice:

"Sister is right, and I'm in a bad mood right now. If I don't deal with some of the people, I won't feel comfortable."

Finally, after checking the abilities in the ability column, Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia let her go.

…

Tang Yi contacted Cheng Jing again while jogging.

Faced with her questioning, Cheng Jing had no choice but to confess:

"Brother Yun went to the medical station, but he wasn't seriously injured. I took Qiao Shiyu to the administrative building. But... Tang Tian, ​​do you really want to come?"

"That's perfect, it's actually more convenient."

Tang Tian raised his head. The administrative district was brightly lit. The honking of horns, shouting, and the sounds of weapons being fired mixed together. It was extremely noisy, just like a battlefield.

"Chief Wu has been wanting me to join the armed forces for a long time. This is exactly what they want. As long as there are some benefits involved, it's fine."

"Where are you now? I'm coming to find you."

Cheng Jing had no choice but to tell the truth.

In the office building, Wu Yongming and Yang Gan were still sitting in their offices, listening to reports from various places more frequently than last time, with frowns on their faces, and constantly issuing different orders.

As a protected suspect, Qiao Shiyu confessed everything without hesitation. Unfortunately, she had never been to the Dawn Society's base with her family, so she knew very little.

But this was enough to exceed the two's expectations. They could imagine that there must be many dissatisfied people in the base, but they did not expect that such an evil thing would be born!

Now that things have come to this, they can only go all out to wipe out the enemy.

Fortunately, it’s not all bad news. This issue also contains another one - the news that Tang Tian is coming.

At present, the more manpower the better, not to mention that a group of armed forces fighting on the front line have already sacrificed their lives.

Tang Tian quickly got the armed team's uniforms and weapons. The uniforms were cold-resistant versions, and the weapons were replaced with real guns and live ammunition.

Cheng Jing's wrist was wrapped in a thick bandage, but he still had some offensive power. Moreover, he trusted Tang Tian more than Yan Shuo.

However, Shen Boyun's feet were deliberately injured, so he will probably have to stay in the medical station for this battle.

"Do you know anything about the... Dawn Society?"

Tang Tian observed the gun and asked Cheng Jing.

"All we know now is that the leader is being protected, and those so-called believers appear to be just like ordinary people. But if they weren't brainwashed, they wouldn't be so desperate. I heard that the previous explosions involved human bombs..."

Cheng Jing couldn't continue talking here. Although he was a trainee policeman before the end of the world, he was full of passion and really couldn't bear to see such a tragic scene.

"Fortunately, besides explosives, they only have physical attacks, and their numbers are definitely not as large as the official ones. The higher-ups have also issued orders: all enemies must be eliminated!"

Tang Tian didn't reply, but just silently pulled the safety pin.

Cheng Jing was injured, so they remained in the middle-class area close to their residence.

I don't know if there are any Dawn Society believers in the middle area, but there have been several small explosions, all of which occurred in the communities next to Community No. 6. Even with the dim light, you can see the green smoke rising continuously.

"Help! Help!"

A group of people with disheveled hair and dirty faces ran forward, looking extremely panicked.

Several armed teams were sent to the middle area to maintain order, and an absolutely safe shelter was quickly opened up, where refugees needed to be led in.

Suddenly, a woman grabbed a team member's arm and almost fell to her knees, crying:

"My child...my child is still there! Please help me get him out!"

Once this conversation started, countless people expressed their requests and vented their nearly collapsed emotions:

"I finally made it to the base, this home I finally built, and now it's going to be destroyed again?!"

"What on earth is this base for? Why did such a large riot occur?"

"When this is over, you must compensate us!"

…

The earth was in chaos, but the cold moon was still hanging in the sky, emitting a light so bright that it could be regarded as enlightenment.

Tang Tian listened to all those words and finally came to Community No. 6.

Cheng Jing raised his hand and used the loudspeaker to play the announcement. Not long after, he saw Yan Lei.

In the Shen and Yan families, he is the only one whose position allows him to go to get off work normally and does not require him to come into contact with civilians on the battlefield.

"Xiao Cheng!"

Yan Lei recognized him immediately, grabbed his shoulders and asked anxiously:

"Are Yan Shuo and Yan Huai okay now?"

Cheng Jing paused before saying:

"Uncle Yan, we're not together, so I can't answer you. You should go to the shelter first!"

"boom--"

Yan Lei was about to ask again when there was a sudden loud explosion dozens of meters away, and the wave even came directly over here, pushing everyone to the ground.

After a burst of tinnitus, Cheng Jing shouted anxiously:

"Oh no, this must be a hand grenade! Tang Tian, ​​are you hurt?"

Although there is still some distance, when a grenade explodes, it usually launches a large number of fragments, and at that flying speed, the lethality is also amazing.

"I'm fine. It seems that Community No. 6 has also been attacked..."

As Tang Tian lowered her hands behind her back, the shield, which was already so shallow that it could not be seen clearly at night, disappeared.

If the shield had not been secretly activated at that moment, they would have been hurt.

Let Yan Lei go to the shelter first, and Tang Tian and Cheng Jing continued forward with guns.

As a result, they discovered that there was a group of people gathered downstairs of the building where they lived, and they seemed to be planning to go up!

With a "bang", Tang Tian fired without hesitation, directly blowing the head of an enemy standing on the periphery.

However, she didn't use the gun in her hand, and used air bullets. With her current mental strength, she could fire at least thirty bullets in one volley.

The other side didn't say anything. Those who had guns immediately raised their guns, and some rushed forward directly.

Tang Tian and Cheng Jing opened fire directly. The former emptied all the air bullets and secretly ate a few candies to recover.

Cheng Jing's aim can be said to be better than Tang Tian's. He tries to save bullets as much as possible and always shoots in the head.

"etc!"

A loud shout was heard from afar. The person might be the leader of this group, and the enemy stopped attacking.

But when Tang Tian listened, the voice seemed familiar.

During the polar night when people are almost plunged into darkness, their hearing ability actually improves. If it is the voice of a familiar person, they can hear it more easily.

The person who came forward, surrounded by his men, was a young man.

Tang Tian's eyes were deep. She pointed the gun at the latter and whispered:

"Wei Qian, it's you!"

The last time he came to her door on his own initiative and said some nonsense, she felt something was wrong. She didn't expect that she would be involved in such a big fight.

Besides, judging from his appearance, he not only joined the Dawn Society, but also held a high position in it.

She originally thought that they were on their own paths, but in the end they became opposites!

Could it be that he has also been brainwashed by the Dawn Society?

Wei Qian seemed to see what Tang Tian was thinking, and a slight fake smile appeared on his face:

"Don't worry, cousin. I haven't been brainwashed, but I also... feel utterly hopeless about this so-called base!"

"Now only the leader can completely change all this!"

Hearing that key word, the people nearby who could be called believers also raised their weapons and started shouting non-stop. They seemed like programmed robots, without any emotions, and completely controlled.

It just so happened that other teams had successfully sent the survivors to the shelter and rushed over.

Tang Tian pursed her lips.

It's time for an ending.

Candy slowly recovered his mental strength, and the air bullets were refilled. The two sides each found cover and started a melee.

Both sides would throw projectiles from time to time. Wei Qian probably didn't have many hand grenades, so he quickly switched to homemade weapons such as □□, which were less difficult.

Tang Tian snorted coldly and took out the batch of superpower bombs and citric acid bombs he had made.

After talking to Cheng Jing, he found a cover that was closer and threw all the items over there.
