Chapter 655 They are still alive
Yun Zhao did not turn back.
Standing before the massive entrance to the Black Tower, the tower's cold obsidian is within reach, radiating a chilling aura.
She took the hexagonal badge out of her backpack, wondering how to open the entrance.
[Vital signs detected, gene sequence match: successful.]
[Permissions Confirmed: Yun Jue, SSS-level Dark Guide.]
Risk assessment: Extremely high.
[Access Permissions: Granted.]
A stream of information swept across the door, and the door opened instantly.
Yun Zhao had no time to think, and his figure quickly disappeared outside.
As soon as she entered, the door closed instantly, and the entrance to the Black Tower returned to its deathly stillness, as if nothing had ever happened.
Xie Tu didn't look away until he could no longer see anyone.
Doors that others struggle to open in their entire lives become incredibly easy for her.
When Yun Jue threw the badge and crystal outside, perhaps he intended to leave a way out for the people of this planet. If someone is destined to get the badge, they might be able to find a way to get closer to the source.
Unfortunately, the area was soon covered by pollution and remained undiscovered for a century.
The shattered sky teetered on the brink of collapse.
After Yun Zhao entered the Black Tower, Bai Shu's figure also disappeared from sight.
In his final moments, he didn't want to be disturbed; he just wanted to quietly talk to his spiritual self.
The group fell silent.
Xie Tu lowered his head and edited the information.
Jiang Mu went to a corner to treat his wounds, while Fu Mou sat cross-legged on the ground to replenish her strength.
Xia Mingang leaned against the tortoise's feet, muttering something to himself.
The oppressive atmosphere caused the five sentries, who had just regained their senses, to open their mouths several times as if to ask something, but then dared not utter a sound.
More and more fragments fell, and the rain of light sprinkled down like a dream.
I don't know how much time passed.
Suddenly, everyone stood up and looked up at the sky.
The domain collapsed.
Suddenly, light appeared in the pitch-black eyelids, and the century-old lonely dream built of blood and fire, obsession and protection was slowly coming to an end before my eyes.
Also vanished was the Arctic fox that had quietly accompanied them to the very end, which too turned into specks of light.
A century of waiting and obsession finally came to an end with the solace of knowing that the bloodline could continue and the will could be passed on.
But those inside never saw the sunlight.
All that could be seen outside was a cloud of dark matter, and the sky was gloomy, making it impossible to tell which part was the polluted area.
There was no time for sadness, or even for shock at what was happening outside.
Xie Tu looked at the five people who had just regained their senses and quickly ordered, "Get out of here immediately!"
The five of them came to their senses. They had many questions they wanted to ask, but it was clearly not the right time, so they quickly obeyed the order and ran.
After running for a while, one of them turned around casually and found that Captain Xie and the others were still standing in the same place.
"If you can get out, send a message to base: we've found them..."
Fu Mo's voice drifted through the air. Before she could finish speaking, a thick, gray fog began to rapidly move toward the Twin Towers.
"It's too late..."
Xie Tu immediately picked up the communicator and, taking advantage of the weak signal, sent out the edited message.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the gray mist arrived and covered the shattered domain again.
The surrounding scenery changed eerily in an instant, and the space that had just regained its clarity was once again covered by a thick, suffocating gray filter.
"It's here!" Fu Yu shouted, and the Gatling gun barrel instantly rose.
Countless vines, like tentacles, emerged from the ground, wriggling and coiling wildly, instantly covering every inch of land and ruins within sight, exuding a thick stench of blood and decay.
Uncle Qin Zheng was protected in the very center.
He seemed to react, his cloudy eyes gazing at the suddenly changed world, his body trembling slightly.
From the depths of the gray fog, the outline of an enormous eye slowly emerged.
The cold, insane, and malicious gaze pressed down on everyone's soul as if it were a physical force!
The five sentries who had returned immediately suppressed all distractions, quickly formed a defensive formation, weapons in hand, their minds on high alert.
That's too fast.
It's so fast that it's impossible to escape.
That thing was like it was always lying in wait, ready to retake the Twin Towers at any moment.
Xie Tu glanced one last time at the twin towers obscured by gray mist and vines, then resolutely turned around, turning his back to his teammates to face the surging terror.
Destroying the source only eliminates the contaminated areas; the red eyes will not disappear.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, they must fight.
...
The intermittent signal eventually reached the base command center through a nearby outpost that was not yet completely damaged.
Minister Duan quickly read the message and immediately instructed the other three bases to be connected.
The signal was poor, and the video conference could not be connected, so the command center sent out a message via text message.
"They are still alive, including fourteen logistics personnel from the reinforcement troops. Yun Zhao entered the core area a few minutes ago, attempting to approach the source..."
Xie Tu's message was brief, concisely stating only a few key points.
The outsiders have no idea what exactly happened.
But in this darkest hour before darkness descends, any news from the front lines is enough to let people know that hope has not been completely extinguished.
There are less than ten hours left before darkness falls.
The sky outside was already covered with a persistent layer of haze.
The news brought hope, but also heavier pressure.
The atmosphere in the command center was extremely tense. Before the signal was completely cut off, the staff were monitoring the movements of the mutants outside and calculating their direction of movement.
After the contaminated areas collapsed one after another, the mutant species in each area lost their restraints and went completely out of control, converging into terrifying torrents of destruction that moved aimlessly like waves.
What they need to do is ensure that no matter what happens, the base can become the strongest support for all mankind.
...
Dust swirled across the vast land outside.
Not only are there a large number of monsters gathered, but also many survivors.
After receiving the message from the four bases, some small refugee camps were rushing to find safer places to seek refuge before darkness fell.
After all, if darkness were to return, the small base's defenses and resources wouldn't last more than a few days, and it would fall sooner or later.
Since that's the case, why not take a gamble?
The journey is more dangerous than before.
Every now and then you can see large hordes of mutants chasing after cars speeding ahead.
Many regular troops are also on their way back after breaking through the encirclement.
Several modified cars were speeding wildly along the bumpy road, their engines emitting a strained roar.
The vehicle was covered in grime and dried blood, clearly having endured many hardships to reach this point.
Behind the convoy, dust billowed into the sky.
The vanguard, composed of dozens of mutants of various shapes and incredible speeds, is like a school of sharks that have smelled blood, relentlessly pursuing them!
