Chapter 27 The Storm is Coming
Y City, Jade Mining Area.
After the blood-colored fog dissipated, heavy snow began to fall from the sky. Before long, the whole world was covered in silver-white snow, as if it was covered with a white blanket.
The mountains, forests and grasses that were lush and green before the thick fog descended had now completely disappeared, leaving only desolate ground and snow everywhere.
There is not a trace of green on the entire earth, but there are many brightly colored, brightly colorful, strangely shaped, ferocious and brutal mutant animals.
I don't know if it's because of the disappearance of those plants, they have now begun to enter the city and wander around looking for something to eat.
In the Y City Jade Mining Area, under the cover of white snow, in a bottomless crevice in the ground, a pure white short snake curled up in the pitch-black underground, in a state of suspended animation.
And on the soil surface above its body, there was an extremely sophisticated small aircraft.
Inside the aircraft, two alien creatures with human bodies and snake tails were arguing.
"The tracker showed this place, and then the signal was cut off. Go down and look for him. He must have found a place to hide."
"You asked me to go down? Why should I go down when it's so cold outside? We are at the same level, why shouldn't you go down?"
"Because I am more afraid of the cold than you. Aren't you of ice attribute? Why are you afraid of the cold???"
"What's wrong with ice attribute? Who says that people with ice attribute can't be afraid of cold? You are actually fire attribute. If you can't even overcome this little bit of cold, don't you think you are a bit rubbish?!"
In the cockpit of the aircraft, the one who is said to be of fire attribute has long ice-blue hair, while the one who is said to be of ice attribute has short fiery red hair.
"I told you to get off, so you just got off. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" The snake man with short fiery red hair sitting in the main driving seat had a cold face. He operated the cabin, loosened the other person's seat belt, opened the cabin door, and then kicked the man out.
The whole action was done in one go and extremely quickly.
"If you don't find him, don't come back." After saying that, the aircraft quickly took off into the air and disappeared in a flash.
The only one left was the ice-blue-haired snake man who was kicked out of the cockpit, pointing at the sky and cursing in the snow.
The snake man with long ice-blue hair pointed at the sky and cursed for a long time, then he shrank back and looked at the endless snowfield, wanting to cry but without tears.
How can we find him in such a big place? That guy must be hiding in some corner pretending to be dead!
He must be caught as soon as possible so that he can report back. He doesn't want to stay in this rubbish place for even a second!
Also, when he gets back, let’s see how he deals with that damn guy Binghan!

"Rongrong, what's wrong with you?"
Could it be that something bad has grown on her? ! ! That would be too miserable for her. She had been expecting that she would awaken some special ability.
But at this moment, looking at Jiang Rong with a stiff expression, lost in thought, Zhao Caier became more and more uneasy, and then she couldn't help but pull Jiang Rong's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Zhao, who were standing on the other side, were also looking at Jiang Rong closely, fearing that she would reveal some bad news.
Jiang Rong looked at Cai'er's back, lost in thought for a moment, and then said: "Nothing, just remembered some things from the past."
"You have three pairs of wings on your back. This is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it is very powerful. However, because your current abilities are not enough, they are still very small. They will be better when your ability level is improved in the future." Jiang Rong explained.
As soon as Jiang Rong finished speaking, Zhao Caier and Grandpa and Grandma Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that he's okay, it's good that he's okay. It doesn't matter how serious it is, as long as he's okay.
Jiang Rong also revealed a faint smile upon seeing this. She patted Zhao Caier's back, apparently to relieve her itch, but her eyes were somewhat deep as she lowered her eyes to look at the three pairs of mini wings. The emotions in her eyes were turbulent, not at all as calm as she appeared on her face.
If she remembered correctly, the third in command of the Southern Base in the southeast coastal area in her previous life was a six-winged warrior.
Very strong.
It is said that it can defeat thousands of enemies with just a pair of wings.
As a member of the lower level of the base, Jiang Rong didn't know any more information. She only had a vague guess in her mind.
"Okay, Rongrong, I'll go with you to check on Xin Jue." Zhao Caier said a little worriedly.
Jiang Rong nodded after hearing this.
"Put on your clothes."
Afterwards, Zhao Caier wrapped herself up like a bloated dumpling, but because of the temperature and height, her back felt even more itchy, and she twisted her back uncomfortably.
Seeing this, Jiang Rong had no choice but to continue patting her back.
After that, the two of them quickly went downstairs and went to Xin Jue's house through the side door on the first floor.
At this moment, the blood mist outside has begun to dissipate slowly, and dense snow can still be seen falling on the windowsill.
Zhao Caier went to her parents' room first, and Jiang Rong went to Xin Jue's room.
She felt that perhaps Xin Jue could answer the doubts in her heart.
But it was still very cold outside at the moment. After just a short while, Jiang Rong felt his hands and feet were starting to become stiff from the cold.
When Jiang Rong entered the room, Xin Jue was still sitting in his thick bed. He stared at his hands with great interest, looking at them again and again.
"Have you awakened your superpowers?"
"Yes, I'm awake." Xin Jue responded gently.
"What is it?" Jiang Rong's eyes narrowed after hearing this, and he was actually a little nervous when asking the question.
Xin Jue noticed it keenly.
Then he put down his hands and looked up.
"It should be thunder and lightning, but it's black."
"It's Yin Lei." Jiang Rong answered straightforwardly.
After she finished replying, her heart began to ache again, and her breathing became a little difficult. She lowered her head, trying to hide her instantly red eyes, and her thoughts drifted away.
In the southern base in the previous life, in addition to the six-winged strongman in the third command, there was also a second-in-command who was extremely powerful and well-known for his Yin Lei ability.
Both of them are well-known in the entire superpower circle for their powerful strength, but most superpowers don't like others to know more information about themselves, so ordinary people only know these.
Jiang Rong's strength in his previous life was no different from that of an ordinary person, so he knew almost nothing about many things in the circle of high-level psychics.
She had already used up all her energy just to stay alive, so how could she have the energy to pay attention to the news of these people who were so far away from her?
But now, her body was trembling slightly and her mind was in a mess.
If the two strong men in the southern base were Xin Jue and Cai Er, then Jiang Rong was almost certain that they went there because of him, and there was at least a 50% chance that Jiang Suan and Grandma were not dead...
Jiang Rong couldn't help laughing and crying as he thought about it. His expression was smiling, but his eyes were filled with endless sadness.
She remembered that a few years after her previous life, someone in the base had offered a bounty on her, but at that time, because she was weak, she had already changed her name to protect herself and was no longer called Jiang Rong.
"What's wrong?"
Xin Jue looked at Jiang Rong, who was suddenly crying and laughing with sadness in her eyes, and looked at her with some worry.
He knew that she had persisted alone in that world for seven years, helpless and isolated. What had happened during that time was hard to imagine or empathize for those who had not experienced it.
So even though Jiang Rong seemed to be fine on the surface during this period, except for the day she just came back and lost control of her emotions, she was much calmer and more controlled than before. But it was this that made him feel that there were hidden dangers and he was even more worried.
He was afraid that she was too tough and would break easily.
Xin Jue lifted the quilt and walked to Jiang Rong's side.
"Rongrong, we will be by your side all your life, so you can try to relax yourself." Xin Jue reached out and patted Jiang Rong's shoulder.
Xin Jue didn't say anything extra, he believed that she could understand what he meant.
Jiang Rong nodded, although she still felt heavy inside, as if she had missed out on several hundred million...
But when she thought about the past life, maybe Jiang Suan and grandma were still fine, her heart didn't seem so sad anymore.
It’s better to cherish the present. She will never repeat the mistake she made in this life as she failed to protect the people she had in her previous life.
After Jiang Rong figured this out, his mood gradually improved and his eyes became more determined.
Seeing her like this, Xin Jue felt a little relieved.
Afterwards, the two of them went to see Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, as well as the two little ones and Caier's grandmother.
Among them, only Uncle Zhao awakened his special ability, which is earth-related.
The first thing Jiang Rong thought of was to reinforce their house!
But this will have to wait until Uncle Zhao’s special abilities improve.
After learning about the situation, Jiang Rong's attention was attracted by a quack beast as big as a window before he could leave.
"Shh." Jiang Rong immediately signaled others not to speak.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the big frog on the window.
When three-year-old Niu Niu saw it, she was so scared that she was about to cry, and then Grandma Zhao covered her mouth with her hands.
The quack beast outside the window was huge, with a white belly and a bright green back. Its four feet had suction cups that tightly adhered to the bulletproof glass of the window, and its pair of bulging eyes, larger than fists, stared into the window without blinking.
But each of the windows of Jiang, Xin and Zhao's families are covered with one-way anti-peep film, so people outside cannot see what's going on inside the windows.
This quack beast shouldn't work either.
At this moment, it was sticking out its big pink tongue and knocking on the window outside.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
The knocking sounds made the people in the room's foreheads throb.
Except for Jiang Rong, everyone else present had a look of shock and fear on their faces.
Although because of that "prophecy", everyone now knows that after the end of the world, many strange, ferocious and brutal mutant beasts will appear in the world.
But no one has ever seen it.
So at first glance, everyone is going to have a giant fear attack.
Fortunately, the quality of the bulletproof windows that Xin Jue bought is still very resistant. Although there are knocking sounds everywhere in the house, so far there has been no sign of cracks on the windowsills.
However, this is also because the quack beasts did not really want to attack them.
These things will only start attacking crazily once they are sure there is food inside.
They are just trying to scare people. If someone gets scared and screams, and is targeted by them, then...
Anyone who screams loudly will be attacked by hundreds or thousands of Quack Beasts and then eaten.
Jiang Rong now signaled to others not to make any noise.
She was a little worried about her grandmother, Jiang Suan, and Grandpa and Grandma Zhao on the other side.
Although she had told them in advance not to scream.
If you encounter any mutated beast, don't shout.
But some people's physiological instinct is to scream when they are frightened. They have never experienced this, and Jiang Rong is not sure whether the elders and Jiang Suan can hold it in.
Jiang Rong gestured with his hand and went back first.
It seems that as long as we don't make any loud noise, those quacking beasts will not go crazy and attack us for a while.
Besides, Xin Jue and the others are here, and there are also spare weapons in the gun room, so she feels more at ease.
Just as Jiang Rong was about to turn around and go back, the giant monsters climbing on the windows all flew away in another direction.
Jiang Rong listened to the scream that came from somewhere, then quickly moved to the windowsill and looked at the situation outside.
But I had a feeling that someone was about to get into trouble.
After the first scream, within a moment, a series of screams came one after another, but all in the same direction.
As for other places, they all fell into an even more eerie silence.
The screams continued for several minutes before gradually stopping.
During this time, Jiang Rong realized that the family was beyond saving, so he retracted his leaning body and quickly brought the others back to the Jiang family.
Just now we were afraid that if we all walked together, there would be too much noise. Now that the mutant beasts have left, it would be better for us to go together.
No matter what, at times like this, it is definitely safer for everyone to be together.
Otherwise, their fighting power was not much to begin with, and their abilities had just awakened, so they were basically useless. If the personnel were too dispersed, the fighting power would be dispersed, which was actually more disadvantageous to them.
And just a few seconds after they returned to the Jiang family through the passage and closed the door, the quacking beasts that had just climbed on the window came back and started knocking on the window outside again.
There was one of them with its bloody mouth wide open, full of blood, and it was the one knocking on the window the most happily at this moment!
What happened just now was a taste of something new for them.
Now they knew there was food in this square house, so they knocked on the windows more happily, each knock louder than the last.
From the increasingly intense thuds, Jiang Rong could feel that they became even more excited after being stained with blood.
