Chapter 314 Death Is Approaching

The sky is dark and the sun is setting in the west.

The strong wind raged between the sky and the earth, suppressing patches of withered grass and light blue trees.

far away.

The mist billows, forming a sea of ​​clouds.

These turbulent seas of clouds are blocked by a transparent boundary, completely isolated from the outside of Blue Tree Town.

Peering into the mist, you can occasionally see giant monsters as tall as buildings, wandering on the edge of the town.

Their eyes were comparable to the sun, moon and stars, staring greedily at the town.

In the surging mist, one can vaguely see a scale of armor, or some light green tentacles that are constantly secreting mucus.

This creates a strong visual impact and a sense of mental oppression.

In this world wrapped in fog, the world seems to be forgotten.

The shadow of loneliness, indifference and death weighs heavily on everyone's hearts.

"Let's go back."

Zhu Zheng sighed.

On the way back, we still drove in Gaochang.

His face was full of worry, his mood was depressed, and even his coughing was much lower than before.

Neither man continued patrolling in the afternoon.

They stopped not far from the big tree and observed carefully.

Then I witnessed with my own eyes that the mist swallowed up the big tree and was torn into pieces by the monsters wandering inside.

The whole process took about three hours.

Calculated based on the moving distance of the fog, the moving distance of the fog per hour is about thirty centimeters to fifty centimeters.

In other words, the fog has been slowly but steadily swallowing up the town.

Gao Chang suddenly asked the question he was holding in his heart.

"What do you think will happen when the fog completely swallows up the town? Ahem, what?"

Zhu Zheng calmly stated a possibility.

"Everyone will die"

"The brave ones try to find a way out in the fog, and the cowards will hide in the building and linger. But if no accident occurs, death is the only option for everyone."

"Of course, there may be a final madness before death."

"Either because of women, or because of food, or because of all kinds of weird reasons."

"I thought, that must be what hell is like."

"Heaven is far away, but hell is always around us."

Gao Chang stopped talking.

He was pale and completely frightened by the scene Zhu Zheng described.

About half an hour later.

The two returned to the hotel.

Everyone gathered in captain Liu Xiaoqiang's room to share the intelligence discovered today.

"Where's Xiong Er?"

Entering the room, Zhu Zheng was surprised to find that Xiong Er was not here.

"He is watching at the repair shop. He will drive back later." Xiong Yi said.

Because Yan San had said hello in advance, the car repairmen were very enthusiastic and walked out of the safe house where they were hiding to repair the car for the two of them.

But there was so much damage to the car that repairs continued into the evening.

As a last resort, one of the two brothers came back to report the situation, while the other stayed behind to look after the vehicle.

Liu Xiaoqiang warned: "The situation in the small town is not peaceful. I urge Xiong Er to be careful."

"No, he has his mobile phone with him. Let me remind him again."

Xiong Yi took out his cell phone and started to give all kinds of instructions to his biological brother.

This way.

Liu Xiaoqiang began to share his experiences.

"My gains here are not big. The Jinghong community has been cleaned very clean, but I still searched carefully and finally found something strange in a secret room."

"The furniture decoration in the room was destroyed by a supernatural force. The smell of those remaining traces is very familiar and reminds me of the monster in the fog."

Xia Yu took over: "In other words, do you think the fog monster briefly appeared in Jinghong Community?"

Liu Xiaoqiang nodded.

"Yes, although there are still many traces of the destruction caused by the fog monsters in the town, it is different there."

"The door was closed tightly and there was no sign of damage. It felt as if the fog monster opened the door with his own hands, vented in the room, and then politely closed the door and left."

Xia Yu frowned: "This is completely impossible. The fog monsters are all crazy and irrational."

"Yes, so I feel that the Hongxing Gang is related to the Mist Monster. I remember Yan San said that they found some encrypted information and can take a look at it tomorrow."

After Liu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, it was Xia Yu's turn to share her information.

"A long time ago, a group of people came to Blue Tree Town. They bought the abandoned mine south of the town, built a research institute there, and then conducted some mysterious and weird research."

"Since the institute moved here, weird things have always happened near the mine, and even the town has been disturbed."

"Some people have witnessed strange UFOs, some have seen fleeting monsters, and even the weather has become abnormal, with acid rain and hail often falling."

“Township residents talk a lot about the institute and complain to local officials, but nothing happens.”

"Someone among the refugees told me something. Basically every week, the institute would send people into the town to purchase supplies. It was unstoppable. However, the week when the fog broke out, no one from the institute showed up. They were a little strange at the time."

This is another useful clue.

And it is consistent with the prompts given by the task.

Zhu Zheng asked: "Does anyone know what projects that research institute is studying?"

Xia Yu shook her head: "The refugee doesn't know either. He was originally a salesperson in a local supermarket and just had some conversations with those in charge of purchasing."

"But he heard it vaguely, and it seemed to be related to space."

Zhu Zheng wrote this down.

After that, it was his and Gao Chang's turn.

Because Gao Chang had a severe cough, Zhu Zheng took the floor.

After listening to Zhu Zheng's statement, everyone fell silent.

Liu Xiaoqiang said solemnly: "The fog is swallowing up the town, and we don't have much time left."

"The abandoned mine has been swallowed up by the fog. This clue can be put aside for now. Why not start the investigation from the Red Star Gang. I will go to Yan San later to ask for information about the Hongxing Gang."

Xiong Yi said that he would rush back to the repair shop and watch the progress of repairing the car with Xiong Er.

Since it was getting late, not many manpower was needed, so Zhu Zheng and others returned to the room to rest and wait for Liu Xiaoqiang to retrieve the information.

Several people acted separately.

Zhu Zheng returned to his room.

He lay on his back on the bed, relaxing after a hard day's work.

Then he began to think.

"The secret of the Hongxing Gang lies in the Church of Mist. How can we draw everyone's attention to the Church of Mist?"

The brain spins rapidly.

In just a moment, he came up with three or four methods.

But how to implement it specifically depends on what is recorded in the materials Liu Xiaoqiang got back.

After briefly sorting out what he had to do next, he took out the Thousand Faces Bag from the inventory.

I plan to wait for the cool-down period to pass before drawing the second human skin mask.

However, at this moment, he suddenly received a call from Xiong Yi.

"Xiong Er is dead!"
