Torches lit with oil illuminated the streets brightly. A large number of people, under the direction of the government personnel, were cleaning up the accumulated dust on the ground. There were also countless workers at the side, stepping on ladders, repairing the wiring everywhere.
The entire Hope City was bustling with activity. When they reached the upper floors of the warehouse area, there were even more people. Many parts of the warehouse area were cracked and some of them had completely collapsed. A large amount of black and grey ice crystals were blown into the warehouse from the cracks above, causing the temperature to drop to -20 degrees Celsius.
However, the bustling scene did not make people feel cold at all.
Groups of people were shouting and carrying the fallen boulders away. There were also people who quickly carried the cement buckets and poured the prepared cement into the cracks on the ground.
As there was a shortage of construction machinery, they basically had to carry it on their shoulders. Although most of them were wearing thin jackets, they were sweating profusely from the heat.
When people were in despair, they were most afraid of letting their imagination run wild. The more they thought about it, the worse it would be. When everyone in Hope City started to take action, although many of them were still pessimistic about the future, they had regained their mental strength.
...
The Firearms Bureau Unit, oh, they were now Luo Yuan's Special Operations Unit.
The group of people passed through the collapsed entrance and walked out of the underground city. They were blown backward by the cold sand. Lin Feiyan, who was the smallest among them, was even blown into the air. She rolled a few times on the ground and only managed to get up awkwardly.
Looking at Lin Feiyan's face, they quickly looked away and pretended that they did not see anything.
Fortunately, they had made some preparations to protect themselves from the sand before they left. Everyone was wearing wind-proof glasses and their ears and nostrils were also blocked with cotton. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to move even a single step in the raging wind.
The crazy Mr. Wang quickly lowered his body to resist the wind. He spat out a few mouthfuls of sand and squinted his eyes, "The wind is f * cking strong. How dare you say that the wind has weakened? I think it's strong enough to blow people away."
"Of course, the wind is weak for Mayor Luo. Of course, it's strong for us. Why don't you go back and tell Mayor Luo about it?" Li Dong who was next to him said with a smile.
"Li Dong Gua, no one will think that you're mute if you don't speak." The crazy Mr. Wang said angrily.
"Alright, stop talking. What kind of weapons do you think the aliens are using? It has been so long and the sky is still so dark. How long do you think the darkness will last?" Fang Peibin tried to mediate the situation and looked up at the sky.
The sky was dark and there was almost no sunlight. Although it was still daytime, it made people feel as if they were in the dark night.
"The current situation is very similar to a nuclear winter. The atmosphere is full of dust and it is full of dust. of the atmosphere of of the atmosphere of the Earth.
Xu of the planet of ice, the mutated creatures would not be able to survive. of. of of. of. Fang Peibin was surprised. The temperature here had already reached about -30 degrees Celsius. If this continued, the temperature of the Earth would probably be the same as the two poles, and it would be the temperature of the polar night.
Everyone could not help but fall silent.
"Time is of the essence, let's cut the crap. We're going in three directions this time. Why don't we split into three groups? Wu Qianru and I will go to Twilight City, Fang Peibin, Crazy Mr. Wang, and Xu Qianren will go to United City, and the remaining three will go to Victory City. Do you have any suggestions?" Lin Feiyan interrupted the conversation coldly.
"No!"
"No!"
…
Lin Feiyan had just made a fool of herself, so how could they dare to go against her?
"That's good. Wu Qianru, let's go first!"
As Lin Feiyan spoke, she walked forward with great difficulty against the strong winds. She was slender and did not weigh much. If she was not careful, she would be blown away by the strong winds.
After the two of them walked away, Xie Junhui said softly, "I think Captain might not make it to Twilight City in time."
"I think so too. She's so small and doesn't even weigh a few kilograms. Once the wind blows, she'll probably be kited!" Madman Wang also whispered excitedly.
"Perhaps if they fly, they might be faster than us."
Everyone chuckled.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. It's a downwind. Captain might have heard you!" Li Dong said.
Their faces turned pale and they did not dare to say anything else. "Ah, I think we'd better hurry up!"
"Yes, yes. It's getting late. We'll go first."
Soon, the group of people left.
Up ahead, Lin Feiyan's face darkened. She secretly clenched her fists and took a deep breath. She forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and pretended that she didn't hear anything. She continued to walk forward with her head covered. Her loose clothes fluttered in the wind, and her hair fluttered wildly. It was a sight that made one's heart ache.
"Let's hold each other's hands and walk!" Wu Qianru caught up with Lin Feiyan and said.
Lin Feiyan was expressionless. She did not say anything, but she held Wu Qianru's hand tightly.
The wind here was still at level eight or nine, and it was unpredictable. Just as one got used to the wind, it would suddenly turn into a downwind. When one got used to it, it would turn into a tornado. Most of the time, the two of them were staggering. Every few steps they took, they had to take a few steps back. It was so infuriating that they wanted to scream and scream.
It was not until Lin Feiyan had an idea. Both of them carried a giant rock in their hands that the situation became better.
The whole world was pitch black, and it was almost impossible to see. A large amount of sand and gravel fell on the two of them like raindrops. Sometimes, the gravel was as big as a fist. Even though they were both super evolved humans, they still felt some pain when they hit their bodies.
In comparison, the low temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius did not affect them much.
Lin Feiyan's evolved ability was Heat Absorption. She could create an even more terrifying cold. She could even continue to absorb heat from such a low temperature. Wu Qianru's evolved ability was Life Absorption. This ability might not be strong, but in terms of vitality, she was undoubtedly the strongest among all the members. Naturally, such a low temperature would not affect her.
When they reached the outskirts, the road, which was already extremely harsh, suddenly worsened.
The reconstruction area was in the middle of the desert. After the apocalypse, with the growth of weeds and shrubs, the situation in the desert had started to improve. A thin layer of corrosive substance had accumulated on the ground, and it was rare to see any sand.
However, following the disaster, the place had once again turned into a desert.
With the low temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius, the sand on the ground could not freeze at all. Some of the sand was swept into the air by the strong wind and fell down at a certain moment. Some of the sand condensed into moving sand dunes and kept moving.
What was worse was that it was quite dark here. The visibility was less than half a meter. When they realized that something was wrong, it meant that they would be buried in the ground the next moment.
Along the way, both of them did not know how many times they had been buried in the sand dunes. Similarly, they did not know how much sand they had eaten. If they were not super evolved humans, they would have died more than ten times.
After walking for two hours, both of them were lucky enough to find a desert.
"Let's take a break first." Lin Feiyan spat on the ground and said unladylike.
Wu Qianru's hands and feet were already sore from walking. The two of them held hands and quickly walked a few steps. They found a place to take shelter from the wind and sat down in the Gobi Desert. Without the raging wind, the two of them could finally breathe normally.
"Captain, how far do we have to go?" Wu Qianru panted slightly and asked tiredly.
The electromagnetic pulse that accompanied the disaster had destroyed most of the smart terminals. Fortunately, there were still a few that could be used. Lin Feiyan looked at the smart terminal, and the number in front of her made her face turn dark. "25 kilometers!"
"So, we have walked for two hours and only walked less than 10 kilometers. How much longer do we have to walk?" Wu Qianru's face fell.
"Compared to the people who died in this disaster, our suffering is nothing." As a leader, Lin Feiyan immediately reprimanded her.
Wu Qianru thought about the corpses in the warehouse area, the factory area that was razed to the ground, and more cities that were destroyed beyond her sight. Her heart sank. No matter how selfish she was, she could not be indifferent when it came to the survival of mankind.
"Captain, you are right. I have rested enough. Let's continue. We have to bring the situation of Twilight City to Hope City as soon as possible."
