35. Waiting for the battle

Gu Zhuo had an extremely long dream. In the dream, he was sinking under the water and couldn't breathe. He felt like suffocating several times.

At the moment of suffocation, there are always hands trying to pick him up, but they save him halfway and then hang down helplessly. Even so, without knowing who the owner of the hand is, Gu Zhuo feels that he is still being saved.

This was repeated several times, and Gu Zhuo felt something behind him, swimming towards him under the water.

He looked behind him and saw those ferocious-looking monsters.

They were swimming wildly in the water, trying to catch Gu Zhuo.

Gu Zhuo wanted to escape, but couldn't move.

He watched helplessly as the group of monsters attacked him, and their disgusting and twisted faces immediately filled his eyes.

They stretched out their hands, and their sticky hands covered with black blood grabbed their faces...

Gu Zhuo woke up from his dream and sat up from the ground, sweat dripping down his back.

He was breathing heavily and his face was pale, as if he had walked on the edge of life and death before coming back.

The dream just now really scared him. He had not had such a real and terrifying dream for a long time.

"Gu Zhuo, are you okay?"

Seeing Gu Zhuo wake up, Chao Ying, who was busy taking care of him, asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, it was just a dream."

Gu Zhuo shook his head and tried to calm down his mood.

He pressed his hands on his chest, trying to slow down his wildly beating heart. His body, which had fainted from exhaustion just now, had improved a lot. However, the muscles in his legs were still a little sore.

He looked up and saw the scene around him, and found that he was lying next to the Doomsday Fortress again. Chaoying and Sam were beside him, looking at him with concern.

As soon as he saw the Doomsday Fortress, Gu Zhuo immediately felt a sense of security in his heart. He asked Chaoying:

"Where are those monsters? What happened? Why are we back?"

Seeing him asking questions, Chaoying told him everything that happened during the day in detail.

Gu Zhuo fell into a brief silence when he heard that those monsters would lose the protection of their black blood shells during the day and expose their fragile hearts.

After a moment, he spoke again:

"In other words, these guys are basically invincible at night, but during the day, their combat effectiveness will plummet. As long as they can survive until the day, they will be fine."

Chaoying nodded and agreed with his statement.

Gu Zhuo raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was February 20th, 12:13 noon.

"What time does daylight come? Do you remember?"

Gu Zhuo looked at the time and turned to ask Chaoying.

"Probably around six-thirty."

When Chaoying supported Gu Zhuo and took him back to the factory, he glanced at the time. It was almost half past seven.

She calculated how long she had been outside and concluded that Gu Zhuo fainted. The moment dawn arrived, it was around six-thirty.

"The blood moon passed at 6:30 this morning, and at 1:30 yesterday afternoon,"

Gu Zhuo paused, sighed, and continued in a solemn tone,

"At 1:30, the four workers told me through the intercom that an accident had occurred. In other words, the blood moon will not be later than 1:30, but will only come earlier than 1:30, or exactly at 1:30.

arrival.

"In this case, it is equivalent to saying that it will take a total of seventeen hours for the blood moon to pass."

Gu Zhuo couldn't help but feel a chill in his back when he thought of how he and the four monsters had struggled for seventeen hours yesterday.

I was on the verge of life and death several times yesterday. If something went wrong, if there was an accident at any stage, I might be dead now.

Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but sink again:

"Do you think the blood moon will come again today?"

When Chaoying was asked this question, her expression became serious. She shook her head:

"I don't know either, but I hope it doesn't come back again."

The two fell into a brief silence.

Afterwards, Gu Zhuo ignored the soreness in his legs. He stood up from the ground and picked up the gun on the ground:

"Whether the blood moon comes today or not, let's get ready anyway. I don't want to see any more accidents happen."

Hearing this, Chaoying stood up with him, her gun always stuck in her waist and never taken off.

The two loaded all the guns with bullets and placed them within easy reach. This way, even if one gun ran out of bullets, they could quickly keep up with the firepower.

With the guns ready, Gu Zhuo and the two moved some piled steel materials from the factory.

Block the door of the factory with steel to ensure that even if something breaks through the door of the factory, there is another layer of barrier guarding it.

The two walked around the factory building, and the four monsters broke in through a window they had not noticed last night, which alarmed them both.

Sure enough, there are three other windows in this factory.

These three windows are all at a high place, and most people cannot reach them unless they are extremely capable of jumping.

Gu Zhuo thought of the terrifying abilities of those monsters yesterday, and he did not dare to underestimate the enemy. He immediately joined forces with Chao Ying, moved the steel, and blocked two of the windows.

The other window was not blocked. Gu Zhuo found a rope, knotted it, and threw it on the iron pillar that fixed the window. After ensuring that it was stable, he started running, and with the fixed rope, he suddenly

He jumped to the window.

It has to be said that after yesterday's battle, he not only felt that his physical fitness was better, but also felt that his physical recovery was significantly faster.

Obviously when I first woke up, my body still felt tired and sore due to excessive energy consumption. Now only my legs still have some soreness.

And this slight sourness will not have much impact on Gu Zhuo's activities.

Jumped to the window and re-tied the other section of the rope. Gu Zhuo asked Chaoying below to see if he could climb up.

Chaoying grabbed the rope, tried it a few times, and then nodded to Gu Zhuo.

Seeing this, Gu Zhuocai jumped back to the ground along the rope.

"Leave this window alone. If something unexpected happens, we will have to escape through this window as a last resort. We only need to hold on to this window and the other one. It is estimated that we can survive in other places for a while."

As Gu Zhuo spoke, he pointed to the window that was smashed by the monster.

Chaoying nodded, indicating that he understood Gu Zhuo's plan.

After doing all this, they didn't even have lunch, and the two of them had no time to think about eating.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch. After working for so long, it was now 12:50 in the afternoon, and there were still 40 minutes before 1:30.

These forty minutes were so long that Gu Zhuo raised his head and looked at the sky outside through the window.

The sky outside was normal. It looked even clearer and more transparent than before the blood moon. Maybe it was an illusion, but when Gu Zhuo looked at the blue sky, he always felt that there was something terrifying hidden behind it.

He shuddered unconsciously, then glanced away, no longer looking at the blue sky.

As long as you survive today and tomorrow, the Doomsday Fortress will be upgraded. As long as the Doomsday Fortress is upgraded, you will be safe.

Although I don’t know if the firepower devices Chaoying added to the Doomsday Fortress will be effective against those monsters, but at least the Doomsday Fortress’s armor is really thick and enough to protect them.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhuo silently closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart.

He has never looked forward to something so devoutly like now.
