Chapter 93 Poison Mist [VIP]

In the eyes of others, Tang Tian joined the armed forces at the right time.

Because of the shortage of personnel, the training in the training camp was more arduous. However, since there were not enough positions and the benefits of the armed forces were good, many people signed up.

A group of people who had newly obtained qualification certificates were sent to the training camp, so Tang Tian's team members were successfully upgraded from basic personnel to perform more advanced tasks.

This time, she received the armed team's first major mission: to transport supplies to the central base.

At that time, the whole city was attacked by mutant bats, but the dawn flooding in the north was an accident. Fortunately, large-scale capture was carried out before, which prevented the fire from igniting.

In the past, the central base was the hub for transportation, but because the construction workers there were densely populated and it was severely damaged, other bases were allowed to go there on their own.

The Changping base will send out a convoy of trucks to travel to the central base in an orderly manner.

This mission seems easy, but it is actually not simple. The people in the car are the surviving elites of the armed team.

Yang Gan knew that the three of them often acted together, so he arranged Tang Tian, ​​Shen Boyun and Cheng Jing together, and they occupied a truck to themselves.

Gathering in front of the convoy, Tang Tian took a quick look and realized that she was not the only girl in the elite team.

The female member seemed to notice her, but didn't say much. She just nodded as a greeting.

Tang Tian also nodded, but without thinking too much, she must be an extremely powerful woman.

After getting on the bus, their truck drove at the end, slowly following the trucks in front to the gate, and then slowly drove out of the base.

About twenty minutes later, the convoy drove onto an overpass, which greatly reduced the distance and time.

However, Tang Tian rarely drove before the end of the world, and he had not thought of taking the elevated road when going to the central base.

It was not until dawn that day and the sun rose as usual today that the base finally concluded that the polar night was truly over.

At this moment, the goose yellow morning sun splashes on the car window, bringing a little warmth. The daily temperature is also rising slowly, and has now risen to around minus 20 degrees Celsius.

The cleanup team was very quick and had dealt with all the corpses on the road, so even flocks of crows were rarely seen. Perhaps that was really Tang Tian's illusion.

Cheng Jing stuffed a piece of compressed biscuit into his mouth and handed one to Tang Tian: "Want to eat?"

Tang Tian did not refuse the kindness and accepted it. Listening to the roar of the truck, she suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

Compared to the early stage of the apocalypse, and considering that the base will become more and more stable in the future, this word may really be suitable to describe it.

She looked at Shen Boyun who was driving again, and suddenly something came to her mind.

The ability I got from eating Cherry Biro last time is still on my ability column, but I haven't found the right time to use it, and I don't know what its function is.

Thinking of this, she quietly relaxed.

In the enclosed space with the car window closed, Shen Boyun suddenly smelled a strange, faint sweet smell and asked:

"The compressed biscuits in the factory have a fruity flavor?"

"Ah? No? Compressed biscuits are always salty. Brother Yun, so you like fruity ones?"

Cheng Jing replied while chewing.

Shen Boyun said no more, but continued to concentrate on driving.

Eh? It didn't work?

Tang Tian was surprised, but she temporarily put away her supernatural powers.

…

The convoy successfully reached the outer area of ​​the central base.

From a distance, you can see that there are watchtowers and sentry towers built there, with sentries standing guard.

But there was not only their convoy on the ground, there were also some that seemed to be coming from other bases. The road was blocked and it was unknown when they could get in.

“Ga ga…ga ga…”

The hoarse and noisy cries of mutant crows lingered in the air, and the warm sunlight seemed cold.

Tang Tian opened the car window and frowned as she looked at the endless stream of vehicles. She then turned on the car intercom and started changing channels.

Shen Boyun and Cheng Jing took a quick look and found that the channel did not seem to be on other cars. So who did she want to contact?

Following a few hissing sounds, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice entered their ears:

"Sister Tian, ​​what do you want to talk to me about?"

Is this... Li Feiyang's voice?

Tang Tian eloquently recounted what happened here.

"Oh, so that's how it is...Okay, I'll tell them, you wait!"

Li Feiyang hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

However, Shen Boyun and Cheng Jing both recognized this tone. Cheng Jing wiped his mouth and said in surprise:

"Tang Tian, ​​I didn't expect you to have such a relationship? You hid it so well!"

Ten minutes later, the unaware convoy began to move and entered the central base from another side door.

As the last car, Shen Bo went in.

The convoy slowly drove into a place similar to a logistics park, where there were a large number of warehouses of various types.

Tang Tian and Cheng Jing got off the car temporarily, and some team members also got off the car in front.

"Sister Tian, ​​I didn't expect

Li Feiyang comes on stage,

Tang Tian smiled and said:

"I joined the armed forces, this time it's a mission,

"Oh, Sister Tian, ​​compared to your life-saving grace, this is nothing?" Li Feiyang patted his chest. "My family just happened to get a job managing material resources at the base, and I've started helping out. Just leave it to me!"

He was just talking but didn't move, and there was already a vehicle loading goods in front. It was obvious that Li Feiyang was a management staff member.

Tang Tian joked:

"I didn't expect you to be a small leader."

Li Feiyang chuckled, but before he could reply, he felt a chill on his head.

It's strange. He was wearing a hat, so why did he suddenly feel cold?

He subconsciously turned his head and found himself standing under the car window.

This is so strange... Never mind, let’s get to work first!

The fleet is very fast, and the logistics park often handles these matters, so all aspects are familiar and well-organized.

Tang Tian and others were about to start loading the last truck, and Shen Boyun also got out to help.

It just so happened that the truck was loaded with cotton, and at least cotton's by-products had other uses.

There are also porters in the logistics park to transport supplies. This is the most common low-level job in civilian areas, but the points coupons they earn every day can fill their stomachs, so they never complain.

Tang Tian and Cheng Jing watched the porters carrying supplies, but she suddenly noticed something unusual.

There seems to be fog in the air above the logistics park?

But this fog is so thin that it is almost negligible.

In winter and spring, fog often occurs, especially in the early morning. But it is no longer like that now.

What's strange is that the fog is very low, only reaching halfway up to my waist, so it doesn't look like fog at all.

Tang Tian stretched out her hand and waved slowly. Just in case, she took out the mask and put it on.

…

When all the goods were loaded, they needed to be registered and signed. Someone handed over a folder and a pen and said:

"Just sign at the bottom."

Hearing this familiar voice, Tang Tian couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.

She didn't expect that the person was Tang Nan!

Hadn't the Black Market resisted the authorities and fled to who knows where? Why was it at the Central Base?

Tang Nan also noticed the gaze and realized it was Tang Tian. He was also surprised.

But Tang Tian seemed to be living a good life, which was what she had expected.

After escaping from the black market, they also set up bases in other places, but they were always found by official teams.

A lot of manpower was lost during this period, and some people did not want to be displaced like this anymore, so they went to various bases.

Later, Tang Nan and Long Qing thought that maybe it was time for them to end this kind of life and choose a place to settle down.

But they are openly fighting with the Changping base, so we can't go to the north.

The remaining east, west and south sides may also have connections with several parties. After thinking about it, it is better to try to go to the central base.

As for why I didn’t change cities, it was because Spring City is one of the best in China, and its conditions have always been much better than those in other first-tier cities.

Fortunately, they still had some precious supplies, and after handing them all over to the central base, they got admission tickets.

Although I need to start over again, I can continue to live like an ordinary citizen.

After working hard for so long, each of them finally found a relatively stable job and started a new life.

Now that the dust has settled, Tang Tian didn't want to say anything more. She just exchanged a few words with Tang Nan before getting into the car, loaded with supplies, and waving goodbye as she left.

After leaving the central base, the convoy quickly drove onto the elevated road and headed north.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly. If nothing unexpected happened, Tang Tian's first major task would be completed, and she would also be able to get extra rewards from it.

It’s a pity that it’s the end of the world, and it’s destined that nothing like this will happen smoothly.

"Bang!--"

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard in the distance, but it was definitely not the sound of a weapon. There were basically no external forces outside the base now, unless they were hiding directly underground.

Underground facilities such as air-raid shelters and subway stations have either been converted into storage rooms, temporary shelters, or used for underground planting, and can basically not hide too many people.

One of the conditions for the formation of external forces is a large number of people, otherwise nothing can be accomplished in the first place.

Tang Tian looked forward and found that the car in front of her had become crooked like a drunk for some reason, and there was even a car in front that was pushed to the edge of the overpass.

Every vehicle has a safe distance, but if an accident happens, or the truck itself cannot stop instantly, then it’s over!

“Stop the car now!!”

Tang Tian shouted.

However, Shen Boyun had already noticed the abnormality in front and stepped on the brakes in advance, but he was still able to hit the back of the car in front.

Time delay!

The scene in front of him slowed down in an instant, but Tang Tian, ​​as a person with superpowers, was able to act normally during the delayed time.

She immediately took out a demolition axe and broke open the window, then grabbed the collars of the two men and jumped straight out of the window!

Fortunately, the stopped car was not moving very fast, and when they jumped into it, the time-delaying ability was cancelled. Muscle memory made the three of them roll on the road several times before finally stopping.

Smoke was rising ahead, and several trucks failed to stop and fell from the overpass. A rumbling sound was heard a moment later.

The three of them had their heartbeats extremely fast. Shen Boyun felt that what had just happened should have only happened in a split second, but for some reason it seemed as if he had done many things again. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

At this time, Tang Tian had already displayed his clairvoyance ability.

In fact, both of these abilities consume a lot of energy, and the time delay almost consumes all of her mental energy.

However, she didn't want to go forward and check what happened, so she activated her clairvoyance for a few seconds, thinking that it shouldn't be a big problem.

To save time, she went directly to check the situation of the first car.

Unfortunately, the first car did not fall off the high price. In just a few seconds, she found that the driver inside was lying on the steering wheel without a sound, and a slowly flowing liquid was dripping down.

The other two team members in the car looked like they were having trouble breathing. They were gasping for breath, but they seemed to have no strength left in their bodies.

With his mental strength exhausted, Tang Tian closed his clairvoyance.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Cheng Jing finally reacted and couldn't help shouting as he looked at the chain reaction in front of him.

"Hurry, put on your mask first!"

Tang Tian immediately thought of the thin mist she had seen in the logistics park before, and hurriedly took out two medical masks and handed them to them.

Shen Boyun and Cheng Jing were not polite and put them on obediently.

There were three or four cars that did not fall off the overpass, including the one that was about to collide in front.

The three of them had just passed by when suddenly a hand jumped out from the glass window and started clapping, followed by a slightly distorted face, the mouth shape changing, but the sound was very unclear.

But I could still vaguely hear him saying:

“Save…save me…”

Tang Tian quietly stuffed two candies into her mouth, then pulled Shen Boyun, who was about to open the car door, and said seriously:

"Wait a minute, this is very wrong. The team members who went on the mission were all checked beforehand. Even if it was sudden death, it wouldn't have these symptoms, right?"

"When I was loading the cargo earlier, I noticed a thin layer of mist nearby. Did you notice it?"

"mist?"

Shen Boyun frowned and looked at the team member outside the window. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and it was gradually getting darker.

It would be more accurate to say that it was poisoning rather than sudden death!

The three of them passed by and went straight to the lead car.

Tang Tian had recovered some of her mental strength. She asked Shen Boyun and Cheng Jing to step back first, then she opened the car door by herself and released the purification power at the same time.

As expected, in her eyes, the carriage suddenly seemed to disappear in smoke, which proved that there were indeed toxic substances in the carriage before.

While activating his special ability, he checked and found that the driver of the leading car should have been the first to be attacked. He stepped on the brakes without even explaining, and the vehicles behind him were unable to dodge, so some collided with each other, and some turned the steering wheel, causing a chain reaction.

But the flowing liquid seen through the clairvoyant's eyes turned out to be streams of black blood flowing out of the driver's mouth and nose.

The other two team members were also motionless, and it seemed that they had just died. Tang Tian helped them close their eyes.

There is absolutely no toxic substance in the car, but the only thing they have in common is that they were just in the logistics park and were exposed to the fog that is not easily detected!

…

Perhaps because of the thin fog, they did not have an attack on the spot, but waited for the convoy to drive for a while before starting to have an attack slowly.

Tang Tian closed the car door again, told Shen Boyun and Cheng Jing about her discovery, and when they were not paying attention, she purified the surroundings.

The two men's brows were still furrowed, but they were not so shocked anymore.

After all, we have experienced many natural disasters, and we can understand it by connecting them together - this is a new round of natural disasters after the polar night!

In other words, this natural disaster is a "poisonous fog"? !

The three of them went to check on other vehicles still on the elevated road. Some of the people with the symptoms were so severe that they died soon, but some people had symptoms but were still alive.

They had no choice but to put on several layers of ordinary masks, then put on medical masks on the outside, and then open the car door for ventilation.

In fact, there are gas masks in Tang Tian’s warehouse. Some of them were stockpiled when she was stockpiling goods, and some were exchanged from Tang Nan.

However, if I only carry an ordinary backpack when going on a mission and directly take out a gas mask as if I had foreseen the future, it would probably not be appropriate.

Besides, she has the ability to purify, so it’s not a big problem.

"Brother Yun, Tang Tian, ​​look!"

Cheng Jing had reached the edge of the overpass at some point, looked down, and hurriedly let the two of them pass.

Tang Tian walked forward and looked down, and was shocked.

The original fog has become as dense as the morning mist in the mountains, and the color of the fog is not the white-gray color as expected, but a little green!

When they looked from the elevated platform, they felt that the fog was at a low height. In fact, it was definitely as tall as a person.

Tang Tian remembered that it had only reached her waist at that time, and it had only been a few dozen minutes, yet it was still rising.

Apart from the higher-ups, the base's flat ground must be covered with poisonous fog!

There is no need to think too much, Changping Base and even the Central Base have definitely begun to become a mess.

The three of them were silent for a moment.

Tang Tian asked Cheng Jing to return to the car and try to contact the base to report, while Shen Boyun went to sort out the scattered supplies. After all, their mission was still related to these.

Tang Tian started the purification process and then dragged out the living people and placed them on the ground.

If it's poisoning, try using "Purify" followed by "Cure."

"Host, your mental strength is almost exhausted, please replenish it first!"

The system issued a warning sound.

Tang Tian had no choice but to take out her water bottle, which was filled with juice that could restore her mental strength. However, the water bottle was opaque and no one knew what she was drinking.

She had already drunk honey soy milk that could increase her mental strength in the morning, but she didn't expect it to be used up so quickly. It seemed that she had to look for better dishes related to mental strength.

After recovering a little, Tang Tian tried to use her supernatural powers to heal the team member in front of her, but she didn't expect that it was another girl in the elite team.

There were ulcers on her skin, and she kept coughing and coughing up blood. There was also a gurgling sound in her throat, probably because she choked on her trachea.

Tang Tian laid her on her side and after using her special powers, her skin stopped festering, she stopped coughing, and her expression became calmer. Finally, after spitting out a large mouthful of black blood, she stopped coughing up blood.

It seems that superpowers are still useful.

Tang Tian thought about it, and moved the team members in the other cars to the same place one by one, and then used his supernatural powers to recover most of the symptoms.

But in the short term, they definitely won't be able to drive on the road again.

…

"Are you okay?"

Shen Boyun packed up his supplies and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, the poisonous fog had not yet risen, and they were still safe on the elevated platform for the time being.

But when he came back and saw that Tang Tian's complexion had become not very good, he was afraid that she might be infected as well, so he stepped forward and asked with concern.

"It's okay, just a little tired."

Tang Tian answered softly.

During this busy period, her mental strength was depleted and increased, jumping back and forth between the completely depleted zone, but she finally arranged for all the poisoned team members.

She drank all the juice in the bottle and opened a few mints and put them in her mouth.

"How's the contact with Cheng Jing going?"

"It seems we've made contact, but the base seems to be in real chaos. They just said they'd send someone over for support, but nothing more has happened."

Shen Boyun shook his head.

"The carriage is small. We can't take all these people away, nor can we leave them here alone. Although it's only afternoon, if we can't get support, we may have to wait until nightfall. What if the poisonous fog rises again?"

"The most crucial thing is, we don't know where this poisonous fog came from, how far it has spread, or whether it has any other characteristics... It came so suddenly."

"Indeed, we only know that it kills people!"

Tang Tian added sternly.

“Ahem…”

Someone woke up coughing violently. It was the girl from the elite team.

Just as she opened her eyes, she suddenly remembered something and quickly struggled to get up to look for someone. And the person she was looking for seemed to be right next to her.

"Xiao Zhe... Xiao Zhe! Wake up!!"

The girl lay on top of a male team member and kept pulling and shouting.

Tang Tian frowned. She had gathered all the still-breathing people together and treated them almost simultaneously.

Moreover, she remembered that the male team member's level was similar to that of the female member, and the supernatural powers she used were the same, so how could it be one life and one death?

Unfortunately, they still know nothing about this poisonous fog.

The female team member lay on the male team member and cried for a while, but it also proved that she was in much better health.

Tang Tian stepped forward, squatted down, and said a few words of comfort, then asked:

"how are you feeling?"

Then she told her about the poisonous fog.

Seeing that they were all women, the female team member calmed down a little. She wiped away her tears and the blood from the corners of her mouth, sobbing and saying:

"It's okay. I just feel a little pain now, especially in my body."

This was probably due to the skin ulcers. Ordinary clothing couldn't completely block the invasion of the poisonous fog. However, it also showed that the purification and healing abilities could resist the poisonous fog.

I don't know how Tang Yi and Wei Mingxia are doing. Do they have these two abilities in the ability column?

Other team members gradually woke up, but some were able to stand up, while others were still too weak to rest and could only lie down. The female team member was in the best condition.

This is strange, could it be that everyone’s physique is different?

And after about an hour, some people would fall into a coma and sometimes wake up.

One of the team members finally died, his eyes were bloodshot, almost filling up the whites of his eyes.

As the sun sets, half of the sky turns snow-blue, and the faint shadow of the moon can be seen.

But looking down from the overpass, the poisonous fog still maintained its original height, but the color was a little darker.

"Do you feel that, although the color is darker, it's also thinner? Or is it more diffused?"

"Perhaps this fog will dissipate at some point, becoming a safe period. If we want to do something, we must do it all within this period!"

I don’t know anything, so I can only make bold guesses, Tang Tian said, stroking his chin.

“Ding ding ding…”

Loud car horns and truck horns were heard from the road in the distance.

Are official reinforcements arriving?

To everyone's ears, the sound of the horn was truly the sound of nature.

Another group of armed men arrived. When they got off the car, they were dressed differently from the others. They were all wearing protective suits and gas masks, so their faces could not be seen at all.

However, they distributed these props immediately, and Tang Tian, ​​Shen Boyun and Cheng Jing hurriedly put them on.

Some went to take care of the wounded, and others went to the areas under the overpass.

But from this height, those team members are probably dead, and we can only rescue the supplies.

A captain-like figure stayed behind to explain the emergency situation that had occurred during this period:
