The afternoon passed quickly, or maybe it got dark relatively early in this lost world.
It was noon when they first passed through the border gate, and when they arrived here, the setting sun was already like blood and the sunset was filling the sky.
On the second day of the day, when the time on the watch was almost 1:16, a moon climbed up into the sky with difficulty. The dim moonlight reflected the hazy sky, and the light that penetrated was like a dark gray sky.
This abandoned and desolate city is shrouded like a veil.
When night fell completely, Higashinohara and his party returned to the temporary camp at the foot of the central building in advance.
After having a frightening experience in the middle of the night last night, tonight after distributing energy bars and eating a special dinner, most people stared at the top of their heads in a daze. When they closed their eyes, all they could think about was today's day in the blue sky.
The weird monsters I encountered next time.
Higashinohara also didn't fall asleep. He was lying in his sleeping bag, thinking about tomorrow's events.
This afternoon, he followed the investigation team to explore the surrounding areas. Every time, he avoided places where there might be strange monsters. It was safe, but it violated his original intention of joining the investigation team.
What's more, Captain Gray Mine clearly has a grudge against Higashinohara. If he doesn't take this opportunity to earn more proficiency from the strange demons, he will try to sneak in next time and take advantage of the Judgment Division's investigation team.
Driving is not that easy anymore.
But he is not very worried. Most of the supplies of the investigation team are still left in Pujiang Community. The supplies they snatched can at most last until the end of tomorrow.
The day after tomorrow, that is, the third day, if there is no supplies, everyone will go hungry.
Higashinohara didn't believe that Gray Mine, who was obviously on a mission, would stay hungry and sit still in the temporary camp. As long as the investigation team returned to Pujiang Community, he would just be the vanguard next time.
But it was impossible for him to go deep and bring out the supplies alone.
If the people from the investigation team didn't come in to help him kill the strange monsters and collect the ability fragments, there was absolutely no way he would be so honest in bringing out the supplies.
Planning these in my mind,
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and a cold night wind blows over the city. The high-rise buildings not far away block the moonlight and it is dark, as if there are countless ghosts and ghosts lurking, and it looks extremely eerie and terrifying.
There was only a clear sound of wind howling all around. Everyone in the investigation team had been working hard all day, and except for those who were on duty at night, they all gradually entered a state of light sleep.
Higashinohara breathed a sigh of relief.
He was about to close his eyes when he suddenly noticed the sound of rustling footsteps coming from his ears, and he suddenly became alert.
Could it be that guy Gray Man was attacking me at night?
His mind was racing rapidly, but his face remained calm, and he had already prepared for the worst in his heart.
Anyway, he has offended the Adjudication Division to death. If Greymane is really planning to show off his face tonight, at worst, he will have a direct fight to the death with him.
If he was lucky enough to win, he would spend the next few days and go back when the [Border] door opened again.
Even if the woman from the Adjudication Division who came to Beijing is present at that time, he still has one last trump card that he will not play unless it is absolutely necessary - that is, the high-hanging seven-star mission currently lying quietly on page 014 of the [Guilty Manual]
.
In a flash of thought, Higashinohara quickly made a decision in his mind.
However, at this moment, the rustling footsteps in his ears started to approach, then paused briefly after passing by him.
Just when Higashinohara was considering whether to take advantage of the situation and strike preemptively, the sound of rustling footsteps suddenly began to move away from the roadside where he was.
what's the situation?
give up?
When the footsteps completely disappeared, Higashinohara finally opened his eyes.
In the darkness, in his eyes that narrowed into black spots like a camera aperture focusing, he could clearly see the light blue medium-length and short hair swaying in the moonlight.
Is it Hela?!
Higashinohara reacted.
Gu Hao
But why was she leaving the camp so cautiously in the middle of the night?
Get up late?
Higashinohara's face was thoughtful, but the next second, he raised his head and glanced in the direction Hela left, but the expression on his face couldn't help but be slightly startled.
In the hazy sky not far from the central building, I saw the upper half of the Pearl Tower diagonally inserted into the clouds, bathed in two colors of moonlight, looking like a gloomy pillar reaching the sky from a distance.
Wait for the Pearl Tower?
Higashinohara suddenly remembered that in Ma Baoli's diary, she seemed to have mentioned something in the Pearl Tower that made her even more afraid than when she faced Ling Wei.
Regarding Ling Wei, Higashinohara boldly guessed that she was probably the pinnacle of the second-level green dangerous monster, and could break through and be promoted to the third-level blue high-risk monster at any time.
Since the existence in the Pearl Tower scares Ma Baoli even more than Ling Wei, the answer is easy to come out - there is probably a real third-level blue high-risk strange demon there, with a strength range between half of the seventh and eighth levels among humans.
Among those with divine level abilities.
Does Hela really want to go to the Pearl Tower?
But why?
Higashinohara remembered the chat when the other party handed him an energy bar at noon. The purpose of Hela coming here was to be a "useful person to the family." Maybe this was the reason why she chose to take risks late at night? But she probably didn't know Mingzhu yet.
What exactly exists in the tower?
In this world, although the rules of the gathering activities of strange demons are unclear, there is a high probability that late at night is the "time to encounter demons." Higashinohara estimates that strange demons like Ma Baoli, who have no independent consciousness, are more fond of sleeping in the hazy moonlight late at night.
Come out and take action.
Do you want to remind Hela?
Higashinohara couldn't help but hesitate a little.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him - the clear howl of wind blowing back and forth in the city before had disappeared, as if something suddenly appeared and blocked the wind.
Higashinohara lost all sleep in an instant.
Sizzling—!
At this time, the sound of electricity came from the headset placed next to the sleeping bag, and tonight's night watchman's panicked and urgent voice suddenly sounded on the team channel.
"Enemy attack! They are coming!"
Many people in the temporary camp had just entered light sleep and were relatively sleepy. They did not immediately realize what the so-called "they" were.
But the next second, when the sleepy people woke up rubbing their eyes, they stared blankly at the darkness in all directions, countless strange monsters they had just seen during the day, pouring out of the darkness one after another, as if they had stabbed an ant's nest.
It was so horrifying that everyone suddenly woke up.
"Enemy attack! Hurry! Gather quickly!"
Gray Mane's furious voice came from the team's voice.
He never thought that these strange monsters in Pujiang Community had no sense of territoriality.
He had led his people to move the camp so far, but they actually chased him out and launched an active attack in the middle of the night.
At this juncture, even if Greymane had never read the diary or seen Ling Wei standing in the wind on the fifth floor balcony, he should have guessed that these unconscious strange demons must be attached to some powerful conscious being.
The strange demon suddenly disrupted all Gray Mane's plans.
what to do?
Of course, run quickly!
In the chaos, Gray Mane hurriedly looked around, and suddenly saw the Pearl Tower towering into the clouds like Optimus Prime under the dim moonlight. He immediately felt something in his heart and ordered loudly:
"Everyone! Throw away the supplies! Everyone break out! Those who break out gather under the radio tower!"
