Chapter 113 Chapter 113 Bai Lan
A black cloud appeared over the North District Base without any warning.
At first, everyone thought it was just a dark cloud from a winter thunderstorm. However, the cloud gradually spread in all directions and showed no signs of dissipating by the next day.
Of course...the sky that was supposed to be bright was forever frozen at the moment before the sun came out.
The Presidential Palace of Gu Yan, the boss of the North District, was open all night long, and people with special abilities could be seen rushing in and out everywhere.
Meanwhile, near the wall of the base's entrance, which had been relatively quiet, a large group of people were now gathered there.
Even at the moment when the base's operational capacity was at its most strained, this human bridge symbolizing freedom and tolerance was not severed.
But now, it's closed.
Not only that, all 10 external entrances to the entire base were also closed.
Above the base, black clouds spread to 60% of the sky, like a black pot lid, from top to bottom, about to turn the entire base upside down.
Anyone living in the base will notice unusual phenomena in the sky. Just by looking up at the sky, they will know that something extremely unusual is happening here.
Staring into the black sky is like staring into the abyss.
Among them, the survivors who escaped from the "catastrophic poison cloud" had the most intense emotional reactions, even those with special abilities.
Their previous bases had all suffered from the erosion of the catastrophic poisonous clouds to a greater or lesser extent, but the level of poisonous clouds they had experienced was far less terrifying than it is now.
Even the gray-yellow poisonous clouds frightened them and became their eternal nightmare, not to mention the black poisonous clouds.
It is no exaggeration to say that the black poisonous cloud has only ever existed in their imagination, because if the base is unfortunately targeted by the highest-level poisonous cloud, then any life in the base will have no chance of survival.
Fortunately, the higher the level of the poisonous cloud, the slower it spreads, which gives enough time to react.
It gave the leaders of the North District a chance to respond, and also gave the frightened people a chance to "escape."
The black poisonous cloud spread to the edge of the base, and its speed slowed down significantly, as if its target was only this base.
Therefore, these people who gathered at the entrance and exit checkpoints, causing trouble in a life-or-death situation, used all their tricks to force the guards to open the door and let them out.
They felt that as long as they stayed away from the poisonous cloud and escaped, they might still have a chance of survival, but continuing to stay here would be no different from waiting to die.
However, the guards only obeyed orders from their superiors and would certainly not listen to their words and open the door without permission.
However, under the instigation of these emotional refugees, more and more people who were originally wavering and going with the flow joined in, and more and more people blocked the entrances and exits, and their emotions became more and more agitated.
These people in the North District want to die and no one cares. Do we have to drag them to be buried with us?
It seemed that the two sides were about to come to blows and a war was imminent.
The guard immediately reported the situation and requested support.
The team leader reports to the team leader, who in turn reports to the team leader, and so on, layer by layer...
As it turned out, the last person to come was the boss of the North District.
The report went all the way to the top.
When they saw Gu Yan, all the guards felt relieved.
In this situation, it is estimated that only the highest person in charge of the base can keep the situation under control.
Gu Yan took a quick glance and had some impression of some of the faces.
These were the refugees who begged the guards to let them in when the base slowed down the refugee admission channel a few days ago, otherwise they would surely die outside.
I never expected that those who were determined to come in at that time would all be the first to rush to the front line to force the base to open the door today, and would be the first to want to escape when disaster strikes.
Gu Yan ignored these troublemakers and asked everyone to stay calm.
Then the commotion in the crowd subsided a little.
However, following his statement, the discontent among the crowd was stirred up again by those few people, which was quite annoying.
They felt that Gu Yan was simply trying to fool them. As far as they knew, no matter how powerful the guardian's abilities were, the shield could not completely protect such a large base.
The only people they could protect were probably the powerful leadership class. They didn't care about the people under them at all, and completely ignored Gu Yan's promises to them. They waved their fists and shouted loudly.
They were going to leave anyway! Anyone who stopped them wanted to kill them and was their enemy!
It's just like the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words.
Now, the base's guardian barrier has not yet risen, and Gu Yan gave the order to open the city gate.
Anyone who wants to leave can leave.
However, it is limited to one hour. The city gate will not be opened again until the crisis of the black poisonous cloud in the base is resolved. This is the last time.
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
The protests and rebellion were effective. The moment the city gates were opened, a sea of people poured out, and the refugees, carrying large and small bags, fled for their lives.
A few days ago, they regarded this place as a paradise, but now it seemed like a hell that they could not avoid.
In an instant, more than half of the troublemakers blocking the door were gone.
But Gu Yan discovered that a small number of people were left at the scene. The city gate was wide open. They just took a look outside and turned back with their luggage.
The city gate was quickly closed, completely isolating the base from the outside world.
The black poisonous cloud over the North District Base is so conspicuous that those refugees who are still on the way here will probably not go any further.
That night, the Guardian's supernatural power shield rose.
In an instant, a faint golden light enveloped the entire base.
The thick fog that continued to pour down from the gradually lowering black poisonous cloud flowed down like liquid, corroded by strong acid, stirring up smoke around the barrier, and was like boiling molten iron being poured, but it could never break through this golden barrier. It attached to the surface of the barrier and turned into unpredictable ghost faces.
The sky was as dark as a waterfall, like the eternal night in the polar regions. All the street lights in the base were on, and heads were everywhere staring up at the sky.
Jiang Xi's heart was beating wildly, and the scene before her seemed familiar.
Zombie King, Bai Lan...
-
After the poisonous cloud has formed a certain scale, the breakthrough from quantitative change to qualitative change allows its potential energy to be released in an instant.
The poisonous cloud that originally covered only half of the base spread out like a fungal mat, turning the space within a radius of a hundred miles into a world filled with black fog.
It was pitch dark and the naked eye could not see what was in the fog, but the screams of terror and low hums continued in the ears until everything gradually returned to the silence of death.
There were many meetings, big and small, and as soon as Gu Yan came out of the meeting room, he saw Jiang Xi waiting outside.
He glanced at the time and it was almost three in the morning.
"Go back to sleep!" It sounded like an order.
But the person in front of him never obeyed his orders. "Is there anything I can help with?"
Jiang Qian was feeling uneasy, as she knew that being targeted by Du Yun was definitely no small matter.
The poisonous cloud before the dimension upgrade is like a hurricane, it will be over after it passes.
But now the poisonous cloud was descending from the sky to the ground, intending to swallow them whole.
She really hopes she can do something...
Gu Yan thought for a moment and said something ambiguous.
"You have made an outstanding contribution."
As for the rest of the matters, leave them to them, and the only thing she needs to do now is to go back and have a good sleep.
For this purpose, Gu Yan even took the time to send her back home.
Only after seeing Jiang Qian lying on the bed did Gu Yan feel relieved. He comforted her that when she woke up, the disaster would be over and she would see the rising sun.
"Really?" Jiang Xi couldn't believe it.
Have the people in the North District found a way to deal with Bai Lan?
Gu Yan nodded.
He promised.
After helping Jiang Xi close the door, Gu Yan returned to the Presidential Palace.
This time, there was already someone waiting there.
Researchers from the North District Psychic Association and Jiahe Hospital also arrived.
Meng Daogan looked solemn as he carefully handed the delicate little box in his hand to the owner of the North District.
Gu Yan opened the box, and inside was a pink heart-shaped water drop.
At first glance, it looks ordinary, not even as delicate as the glass crafts sold in gift shops, but the energy contained inside is comparable to the explosion of tens of thousands of hydrogen bombs.
The most crucial thing is that the anti-infection inhibitors carried in the water droplets have a purifying and reducing effect, and can kill all zombie viruses the moment they are released.
This is the latest secret weapon developed by the North District to prevent accidents, but it was accidentally used.
——Human blood bomb!
However, there are no manned rockets these days, so how to send it to the core of the poisonous cloud, which is the location of the zombie king Bai Lan's heart, has become an urgent problem that they need to consider.
The only way is to use people with special abilities to transport it.
But there is no doubt that this is a one-way journey.
After the explosion is triggered, no matter how fast the speed is, the psychic who is transporting the bomb will not be able to escape. He will most likely be blown into pieces like Bai Lan who is hanging in the air, and die together.
Moreover, even though there are many people with special abilities in the North District Base who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the base, not all of them have the ability to deliver the bomb to the core of the poisonous cloud.
Firstly, the carrier's mental strength must be strong enough to support him in suppressing his own madness and maintaining a certain level of clarity and rationality in the strange poisonous cloud...
Even Gu Yan himself couldn't do this.
Such harsh conditions meant that the person who sacrificed his life had to be at least a super S-level psychic, and have the ability to ignore gravity and move in the air.
When you look up, you can't see him, but when you look down, you can see him. The first person Gu Yan thought of was Xiao Liang.
But she quickly denied it. Regardless of whether Xiao Liang would agree to this death request, if Jiang Qian knew that it was she who gave the bomb to Xiao Liang, she would definitely hate him to death!
He doesn't want her to hate him!
This was the first time in Gu Yan's life that he felt genuinely worried about his love rival. Just when he was at a loss, someone he absolutely did not expect appeared.
So... selfless!?
Gu Yan couldn't believe it. Was this person still him?
Moreover, he proved to Gu Yan that he was qualified to deliver the bomb and was the undisputed best candidate.
In the dim room, there were only Gu Yan and the man who came forward to volunteer and was willing to die.
The box has been handed over.
“…”
Why can't I control my hands?
Gu Yan's expression was one of conflict and struggle. "If you do this, I'll have to erect a golden statue of you in the center of the base, right?!"
It will cost a lot of money.
Gu Yan deliberately used his stinginess with money to try to dilute the guilt and shame that was rising in his heart.
But the man ignored him.
The two men walked out of the room, and when they saw the ownership of the box being handed over, everyone knew that the person with superpowers who would transport the bomb had been chosen.
However, this person is not only not from the North District, but also seems familiar and has no good relationship with the North District.
But it is such a person who is willing to sacrifice his life to protect the North District Base... It is really touching.
He, like the one who provided the Suppressed Blood, is a true hero! The savior of all mankind!
-
The tower building late at night, the night breeze is gentle.
This is the place closest to the sky in the base, and it is also where the delivery person needs to exit from the protective barrier.
"Is there really nothing you want to do?"
Gu Yan didn't dare to say the word "last wish".
Even after daybreak in the physical sense, the potential energy of the poisonous cloud will increase exponentially, so the dawn before daybreak is the best time to eliminate it.
But, humans are still humans after all. No matter how powerful they are, they are not gods. If they really die, then everything will be gone.
The man looked up into the endless abyss.
He really should go see her one last time, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
"Let's get started."
He is ready.
Gu Yan: “…”
Unable to utter a single word of ridicule, he had to stand in awe of his former enemy.
There was no other way, he could only signal to the guardian psychic in charge of this area.
Sudden--
"Lu Suye!!"
A shrill female voice cut through the night sky.
Not far away, the two overlapping figures separated.
Jiang Qian fell from Xiao Liang's arms to the ground. She ran forward a few steps and yelled at the man's back.
"Do you think I will forgive you if you do this?!"
She is here.
But Lu Suye did not turn around, and the night wind carried his cold words to her ears.
"I don't need your forgiveness."
By this time, a hole had opened in the protective barrier over the base.
The arrow is on the string.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared like a flash of lightning.
Alone, he sank into the poisonous cloud, with the pink drop of water in his palm.
He muttered to himself,
I just want to be remembered by you.
...Don't forget me.
