The white shadow was less than 30 meters away from Resa. Even if Resa was in the invisible state of the invisibility cloak, he did not feel safe at all.

Carefully crawling back behind the broken wall, and then experiencing the previous suffocation again, after the white shadow left, Resa once again picked up three slightly larger red crystal fragments on the ground.

Resisting the idea of ​​following up, Resa set up the micro probe that came with his personal terminal in the grass not far away, and then quietly left the broken wall. Judging from the contact just now, as long as there are 30

With a buffer distance of 100 meters, the white shadow would not notice him. If he held his breath, it would be fine to get closer, but Resa didn't want to experience the feeling of suffocation and near-death again.

He was not sure whether the white shadow would come again. Due to limited equipment, he could not deploy ultra-small tracking robots like mechanics, so he could only wait and wait in a clumsy way. Taking into account his remaining supplies, Resa decided that if within an hour

When he didn't see the white shadow again, he prepared to bypass this area and explore the central area ahead.

The waiting time is especially slow!

Resa never waited for the arrival of the white shadow, which made him feel a little frustrated. He couldn't see clearly what the shadow was at the first glance. After waiting for another 20 minutes, Resa recovered the micro probe and started traversing

Move and walk towards the market area.

Compared with the scene of houses collapsing in the residential area, the market area is a different scene. The various shelves are not cluttered. It seems that this place has not been greatly affected, but the shelves are basically empty.

Even some scattered goods were turned into empty shells by wind erosion.

The market area is much smaller than the residential area. Resa's luck is quite good. Without the harassment of humans and animals, he can search every location carefully. In the end, he actually found a cigar in a hidden corner.

Box-sized special metal box.

Wind erosion only dimmed the color of the box, but did not cause any actual erosion. The box did not have a lock, only two safety buckles held it tightly. When the safety buckle was opened, two reagents, one blue and one purple, lay quietly inside.

Looking at the white mist above, it seems that the box actually has the function of refrigeration.

Resa did not find the ingredients description of the reagent. The lack of a security lock on the box showed that the two reagents were not extremely rare. Resa carefully put the box away and walked through the market area to explore towards the center of the city.

past.

At this time, on the other side of the city, bright gunfire continued to vent, shooting at the white shadow in the sky, but these bullets seemed to have no effect on the white shadow. As the white shadow fluttered and approached, the two sentry machine guns misfired one after another.

.

Behind the sentry machine gun, a middle-aged man with a broken arm kept retreating hastily. While retreating, the energy gun in his hand continued to shoot out white energy beams to attack the white shadows. However, all this was a futile struggle.

.

"What the hell is this?" Looking at the white shadow getting closer and closer, the middle-aged man ignored the two sentry machine guns in front of him. A silver coin appeared in his hand, but before he was about to crush the coin,

when…………

The white shadow suddenly turned into a white mist and enveloped the man. Along with the man's heart-rending scream, the coin slipped from his hand.

Dense blood vessels

It was beating on his forehead, and his body was drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye. As the blood vessels on his forehead continued to beat, it was like earthworms were swimming in his head, and the blood vessels were wriggling.

It became more and more violent, and the man's eyes were completely bloodshot.

Lines of blood continuously flowed out from the man's eyes, ears, nostrils and corners of the mouth, and turned into red mist to wrap the man's head. The next moment, the man's head exploded, and the splashed flesh and blood quickly dried up, forming a red mist that gathered into the air.

In the blood mist.

A white shadow emerged above the blood mist. As it floated, the blood mist kept squeezing and deforming, and finally turned into a red crystal the size of an egg in Bai Ying's hands. On one side, the shriveled corpse quickly decomposed, and even the sentry machine gun on the side was covered with blood.

Rust marks formed quickly.

Resa had no idea that an explorer like him had died on the other side of the city, because despite the fierce gunfire, as long as the distance was far enough and blocked by the numerous wreckage, no sound would be heard.

After passing through the market area, Resa entered a small square. The square was overgrown with weeds, and some broken sculptures could be vaguely seen lying in the grass. In the center of the square, the long-dried fountain was covered by weeds.

It looked more like a flower bed full of weeds. Here, Resa once again picked up a few broken red crystals.

The bloody smell of these crystals was obviously much richer than before. Resa put away the crystal fragments. He did not have much time left. The unknown substance in the air became much richer, making his invisibility cloak unable to maintain invisibility.

state, which also made him more cautious.

Looking at the countdown displayed on the personal terminal on the wrist armor, Resa frowned. This time the exploration did not meet his expectations at all, not to mention spending a lot of exploration value. After nearly a day, except for the weird white

Shadow, actually didn't even encounter a human or beast.

This made Ressa lament his bad luck, but he was also glad that he did not encounter too difficult a situation.

The time displayed on the personal terminal is 56 minutes. After 56 minutes, the reagent will lose its effect. At that time, you must either return to the Jump Fortress for safety, or take a risk and believe that the tactical helmet can filter out unknown substances in the air.

If you succeed, you can stay for a few more hours, but if you fail, you will run the risk of being controlled by hallucinations again.

There are still 7 energy bars in reserve, which will be enough even if a battle breaks out in the next 50 minutes or so. The anti-venom has not been used yet, so the harvest this time is only the two unknown potions, and some bits and pieces close to each other.

20 red crystal fragments.

I wonder if I can earn back the exploration points I spent this time. After Resa crossed the square and turned the corner, the scene in front of him made Resa's hair stand on end.

………………

It's early morning again in Frostfall Fortress. Although there are still snowflakes floating in the nodes, it does not affect people's enthusiasm. Even though the genius is bright, the market area is already overcrowded, but today's atmosphere is a bit subtle.

In the square at the end of the market, thousands of ragged people crowded into a corner of the square.

They were all survivors who escaped from the frost node. Although the combat team of the frost node rescued them, in such a strange environment, they had no home, no food, and even some of their people.

They all had no clothes, no matter men, women, old or young, they all huddled in the corner of the square, even though the square was very big.

Thousands of people crowded into a corner looked very crowded. They did not dare to go near the center of the square. The few men there covered in blood and lying on the ground not knowing whether they were alive or dead were a warning.

Once they get close to the center of the square, if it's a guard, it's okay, they will just signal them to leave. If they are a family member with some background, they will drive their subordinates to beat them up.

In the last days, the most indispensable thing are the homeless people who have nothing. For them, living is the greatest gift.

Not far away, in the center of the square, there are several well-dressed young men with lewd expressions on their faces. Among them is a ragged young woman. The woman's appearance is not very outstanding at first glance, but upon closer inspection

Sometimes, I feel that the more I look at it, the more interesting it becomes. The slightly thin body reveals the breath of youth.

Although she had many scars on her body, it did not affect the unique attraction she exuded. Not far from these people, several young men in the same ragged clothes were lying on the ground motionless, covered in blood.

"Things like garbage dare to get in my eyes." A disdainful voice sounded, and a young man with a slightly pointed chin and triangular eyes spat at several men lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

, thousands of people not far away watched this scene numbly.

No one wanted to help the girl, and no one dared to help the girl. The few young men who fell on the ground and did not know whether they were alive or dead were a lesson for them. As the girl's pleading sounded, even the eyes of some skinny men among these wanderers

There was also a lusty and evil light.

The guards not far away couldn't stand it anymore. After seeing the appearance of those young men, their eyes flashed with anger but they helplessly gave up the idea of ​​going up to rescue the girl. Obviously these young men were not guards.

Can afford to offend.

"Too much!!!" A clear female voice reached the ears of several people. Several young men looked back in surprise. They did not believe that there would be anyone here who dared to interfere with their business.

The result is a girl with cute cat ears. Her pink and maroon ponytail hangs down to her waist. Her wheat-colored skin reveals a faint blush caused by anger. The girl is tall and dressed in a maid outfit.

It made the fire in the hearts of several men burn even more intensely.

"So what if it's too much? You bite me!" The man with triangular eyes showed a wicked smile: "Don't think about meddling in other people's business. If you don't leave, I'll arrest you too."

The man's words caused several men behind him to burst into laughter, making the girl's cheeks turn red with anger.

This girl is none other than Nuan Xin who went to buy groceries and prepare breakfast.

With her first-level human-beast abilities, it would not take much effort to deal with these guys. However, the 3-meter-tall little giant behind these guys would probably have an easier time dealing with her.

Looking at the girl's empty eyes, Nuan Xin understood the feeling of despair. Her personal experience made her wake up from nightmares every time she thought about it.

She wanted to help the poor girl, but her strength didn't seem to be able to accomplish it. For a moment, she could only glare at a few people.
