The wilderness beyond the ruins is a place full of loneliness and desolation.
There is no hustle and bustle of the city here, only the silence and loneliness of nature remain.
The wilderness of the Kingdom of Eternal Night seems to have left the boundaries of human civilization, with only barren land and withered plants.
The earth showed a dark color, and the land was barren and hard. The sparse vegetation swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound, as if telling where they were born and where they died.
Shelly fixed the lantern in her hand in the cab of the heavy truck.
Then he held his helmet and looked at the scenery in the distance, and said lonelyly amidst the bumps of the heavy truck:
“The port of return in the province of Signault was once known as the ‘Flower City on the Border’.
I still remember the day the celebration came.
In the suburbs of the city late at night, flowers are blooming, like an epic and magnificent movement.
Aurora-like brilliance shines from the sky, lighting up the land and reflecting the endless beauty.
The towering cedars, tall oaks, and wild flowers all over the mountains and plains, their flowers are like pearls in the night sky. They shine with a faint but tenacious light.
Whether it is dark blue cornflowers, golden dandelions, or purple lavender, they sway gently in the night wind, as if whispering the legend of the ancient drifters' hometown.
The air at that time was filled with the scent of flowers and fresh soil.
but now.
After what they call the 'black tide' disaster swept across.
All that remains is decay.”
The girl guard said with some loneliness.
She couldn't help but shrink back while leaning on the back seat of the black steel heavy truck, and hugged the steam giant sword in her hand tightly, as if it would give her some sense of security.
after all.
If she hadn't been on the other side of this lost sea of disaster, she would probably still be in middle school.
It's normal to feel scared and fearful.
It's just that Croshan, who always devotes all her attention to the study of living organisms, discovered this.
Perhaps it was something in what Shelly said just now that touched her.
Croshan took out a glass bottle from her handbag, took out a pill from it, turned around and handed it to the girl guard in the back seat:
“Hibiscus crocus.
It is written in the "Ebers Papyrus" that this lozenge has a good effect on calming the nerves.
But I guess there should be no such herb in the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
Give it a try, this is what I do when I am bored."
The last sentence is a bit redundant.
Su Wen, who was driving, complained silently in his heart.
But Shelly is obviously a shyer girl when she has no enemies.
She said thank you, and then without any doubt, she took the pill with the enhanced imprint of the life school ring on it.
Soon, everything seemed to calm down to her, and the atmosphere was no longer so scary.
As for Su Wen and the life science researcher, they themselves did not have much emotional fluctuations.
Crossan even wanted to play Faded.
But this proposal was immediately rejected by Su Wen:
"There is no disc player loaded on this heavy truck, so it is impossible for me to record the disc in advance."
The handsome detective has indeed prepared a lot of things in the storage box. It may be possible to take out the car he once won in Detroit as the No. 25 driver.
But this idea is really stupid.
Rationally, he would never choose to do this.
that's all.
Heavy trucks drive in the wilderness of the kingdom of eternal night.
The unique mechanical devices in the steampunk world are scattered everywhere, some are dilapidated, and some are still barely functioning.
These mechanical devices were once the owners of this land, but now they have become witnesses of history.
But eventually they will gradually rust in the cold wind, be covered with dust, and be submerged in mud.
Crossan could occasionally see some animal bones scattered on the ground.
Those once active lives were looking for opportunities to survive here, but now only these cold skeletons are left.
Whenever encountering such a moment, the researcher would use the privileges agreed upon before taking action to get out of the car and collect data.
Even if these bones are from ordinary beasts and are not as expensive as dragon bones, they are still very rare treasures for her.
"Wipe your saliva a little.
What you are riding in now is my favorite car."
Su Wen said helplessly.
It was hard for him to imagine that a young girl would show such an expression towards the skeleton.
But Croshan is not afraid of him at all. She heard from her brother Nelson that as long as it does not affect the smooth progress of the plan, Mr. Rhine will usually ignore those small incidents with a very tolerant attitude that is very leadership-like.
So the researcher lady just smiled a little restrainedly:
"hey-hey.
I'm just too excited.
Rhine, you know that in order to adapt to the dark night, these life forms have specialized genetic sequences that can produce proteins that sense low-frequency light.
If it can be grafted onto the genetic sequence of living organisms in the real world.
Then our adaptability to space, which is already extremely low, silent and dark, can be improved by one point.
This is genetic ascension."
Su Wen recalled the system prompts he saw before
[Key time point in the future for genetic ascension]
He is a scholar.
Naturally, he can think about the value of this knowledge in a calm and rational manner. He also understands that there are two sides to the extended use of knowledge.
But as for Croshan's mental state, after recalling Nelson's vigilant look.
He believes that this part does require further careful observation:
"Now I will understand why you are imprisoned under the sculpture of the Meteor Transport Institute."
she said proudly.
"What does it mean to be locked in?
After getting the information, I specially disguised my identity and sneaked in.
As for that broken sculpture, you don't think you can stop me.
I originally wanted to wait until the fight was at its most intense and secretly come out to view the experimental data in an open and public manner."
"The meaning expressed by your words is probably not that upright."
Su Wen sorted out the information.
now.
One hour and thirty-seven minutes had passed since they left the port of departure in the province of Signault.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The entire wilderness is filled with a desolate atmosphere, and only the wind is blowing the land, as if telling an ancient and distant story.
In this story, human civilization has become a thing of the past, and nature after the disaster becomes the protagonist.
An uncomfortable mist gradually filled the wilderness of the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
Even the gas light swaying slightly inside the black steel heavy-duty truck dimmed a bit.
The girl guard tightened her grip on the metal handrail beside her.
In this dark world, a low humming sound suddenly came from the distance, as if it was the roar of some huge machine.
As the sound gradually grew louder, we could see squirming black shadows rising from the distant horizon, like lifeless waves, advancing slowly but firmly.
It was an irresistible force, a zombie tide composed of a huge group of infected people.
Their bodies looked extremely terrifying under the moonlight. Their tattered clothes, ferocious expressions, and lifeless eyes revealed endless despair and madness.
"Let's stop chatting here."
Su Wen calmly held the steering wheel while suddenly accelerating and turning. The heavy truck also rushed towards the high hills of the wilderness with a handsome side drift.
Not long after.
They parked their car at a high point where the zombies couldn't reach it.
Crossan also took out the life signal detector and started analyzing the spectrum of life forms.
The air gradually filled with the fishy smell of blood and the greasy smell of mechanical operation. The two smells intertwined to form a disgusting smell.
The sound of the wind in the wilderness is like the low roar of the infected, and along with their approaching footsteps, people feel an unprecedented fear.
As for the low-lying location in the wilderness.
In an instant, the tide of corpses came overwhelmingly like a flood, dyeing the ground blood red.
This scene is like a nightmare, making people feel deep despair.
Shelly also remembers this nightmare.
The emergence of the corpse tide pushes all life into the abyss of despair.
But when she raised her head and saw the handsome gentleman parking the heavy truck at a high place, there was no trace of fear in his eyes, only calm silence.
As if such a huge source of disaster could not be called a crisis.
suddenly.
The wind direction has changed.
The low temperature is accompanied by fine ice crystals swaying and spreading in the wind.
The girl felt as if a huge figure appeared in the sky.
She raised her head.
What she saw was a scene that she would never forget in her lifetime.
That's one:
The [dragon] that carries the frost and covers the sky.
