Chapter 4 Deep Mountain Candle

Zhang Kesong stood under the red sky and remembered this conversation again. It was also because of this passage that she came to the Philippines - on the one hand, because the global wars were fierce, it was indeed normal for the large number of executive officers to send out, and on the other hand, it was because of the "mutual influence" mentioned by the prophet.

She didn't know how the result she was observing would be realized, and she didn't know if someone would interfere as the other party said. However, fear and sorrow grabbed her heart, made her sigh deeply, and slowly walked back into the room.

The cat is still sleeping.

Tonight seems destined to be quite calm.

Zhang Kesong took off his coat, turned off the light, and lay on the bed. The Huali Cat was squeezed by her for a while and moved out reluctantly. When she lay down, she yawned again and squeezed to her side, turned her head, stretched her waist, pulled herself into a bow, and fell asleep comfortably again.

There were slight snoring and slight breathing sounds in the darkness.

After four hours, it was already the second half of the night. The entire Sanbaoyan ruins became tired, and even the soldiers on the city wall felt their eyes dry - after all, without the high beam, they had to squint their eyes from time to time to try to look further away, in order to find possible traces of enemies.

But most people habitually believe that this time should be as calm as ever. Two alienators have just been eliminated during the day. According to common sense, the next wave of people will arrive in two to three weeks.

A night wind blew.

It is indeed about to reach the rainy season. The rainy season must be accompanied by strong winds or typhoons. This week, strong winds blow by every night, making the lights on the city shaking, and sometimes they will blow out the light groups on the coast and the floating lights on the offshore sea surface.

The small pier in Sanbaoyan, formerly, has been replaced by a circle of tall walls, with steel gates on the walls. The defenders opened a channel behind the walls and turned into something similar to a dock. There are four diesel-powered armed patrol boats in the "dock", but they are also staying safely in the safe harbor tonight. They will only open the gates and engage in maritime operations when warnings are made on the outside.

The wind became heavier and the floating lamps on the sea began to shake. The thing was made of fluorescent materials and was not afraid of the sea water. However, tonight...

Suddenly a whole row of floating lights disappeared.

The guards at the top of the city noticed this abnormality and immediately raised their telescopes to look at the sea.

A shadow jumped up - a body over three meters long, with white sharp teeth shining under the red light of the sky.

"What are you doing? You can eat this too?" The soldier put down his telescope and scolded. It was a huge shark. He ran into the alert area for some reason and pressed a whole row of floating lights under the water. Logically speaking, at this time, the alarm should be sounded and the patrol boats should be sent to re-arrange the defense line. However, the soldier changed his mind when he saw the seventh shark jumping out of the water.

The wind was very strong tonight and the waves were very high. The four patrol boats were all small ships, not much larger than a fishing boat. In this case, rushing into the sea where sharks were infested, and something might happen.

The soldier was a sergeant, who was originally just a simple executor. But he thought a little more tonight - from the perspective of the commander. It was this kind of thought that made him let go of his hand that was about to touch the alarm and glanced at the sea a few more times.

The sharks swam around the water, perhaps because they were attracted by the domestic waste discharged into the sea.

But that doesn't matter - with these sharks, it's impossible for the enemy to lurk from the water.

As he thought so, he retracted his body back into the small brick booth behind him, took out a cigarette and lit it.

The smell of smoke spread in the air, and the soldier narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. He felt a little satisfied after all - he felt that his measures were appropriate and he might get a reward tomorrow.

But he did not find that the sharks actually had a very standardized course of swimming - just like a team of trained dolphins performing. They almost lined up in a square array, constantly jumping out of the water, pressing the floating light below the sea... and then swallowed it by another shark in one bite.

The floating lamp is not fresh meat. After swallowing a few, the shark slowly sank into the sea.

But the wind became more and more violent, and waves of more than one person were raised on the sea surface, and even the traces of the sharks were covered by the wind and waves.

Half an hour later, a head emerged on the sea under the city wall.

Then there is the second, the third, the fourth... and even the twenty-sixth.

There are twenty-six raiders in total.

When the city wall was built, the extreme situation was considered now - the enemy suddenly attacked the foot of the city wall and tried to climb up or break through.

Therefore, the original standard was based on the standards for building dams.

The new composite material builds a solid skeleton, and then uses huge amounts of concrete to pour out a thick wall - ten meters thick. It is difficult to have any force to destroy it in a short time when all electronic equipment fails. Once the city wall is bombarded by the ** and makes a huge noise, defenders everywhere will flock to intercept the invaders outside the high wall.

This is of course aimed at ordinary people. There are also abilities who are on standby behind the wall and use their superpowers to deal with the enemy's superpowers.

The twenty people clinging to the wall seemed to be powerless.

Until another person also emerged. The man was wearing a bulky diving suit and seemed quite weak. He climbed ashore with the help of two others - a thin guy who would fall to the ground after walking a few steps.

The raiders are all the most common appearances of alien species - they have tiny scales on their faces, and the tips of their fangs pop out from the corners of their lips. The eyes are orange and there is a thin pupil in the middle. But now the light is dim and the pupils have been dilated, just as if the whole eye is pure black.

They have developed muscles, exposed blue veins, and their nails look like sharp steel claws, half a meter long.

But that thin person... looks really a human being.

It was just terrifyingly thin. It was like an African refugee who could not fill his stomach for many years, with only a thin layer of skin pressing against his bones. However, the aliens around him who would go crazy when they saw ordinary people seemed very respectful to him, and even had a "careful" smell.

When he helped him take off his diving suit, his alien nails cut the man's arm. The pale-faced man actually raised his hand and slapped him hard.

The sound of "bang" was covered by the sound of waves. The beaten alien was not furious, but instead lowered his hands respectfully.

The man pressed the wound on his arm, and weakly but arrogantly pushed away the guys in front of him and walked all the way under the city wall.

Looking upward, it is a slightly convex wall, which is twenty meters high. Behind him is the dull and violent sea surface, with waves slapped on the sea from time to time, soaking the invaders' clothes. But the awakened alien species are not afraid of this degree of wind and waves, but instead lined up a wall to surround the man in the middle to block the cold wind for him.

The city wall is very high and very strong. But because of its height and curvature, these people are covered by the "bellies" of the wall, and even if someone looks down, they can't see it clearly.

The thin man rubbed the wall. It has been more than a year since the high wall was built, with wet moss growing at the base of the wall, and some shellfish even climbing on it.

But he didn't care, it seemed like he was stroking the skin of an old lover.

Two minutes later, his movements stopped.

Then, the city walls began to disappear.

No word can more appropriately describe the current state - disappearance.

There was no falling fragments, no cracks or even disintegration. It seemed that a round cover slowly spread out with the thin man as the center. The invisible barrier allowed the twenty-six alien species around it and then touched the wall. So a semicircular pit appeared on the concrete wall, and the part that originally filled the pit disappeared silently.

The pit continued to expand, and the walls were silently annihilated.

Even the sergeant who happened to be standing on the post above them did not feel a slight tremor.

Until he stood up again, he looked under the wall habitually.

The "wall belly" that was supposed to be like a hula hoop actually showed a long, crescent-shaped gap. Through this gap, the sentry saw twenty-six hideous alien species and a man surrounded by them.

The man raised his pale face and smiled slightly at him.

The cover suddenly swelled, and before the sentry could send a warning, the whole person disappeared.

A huge semicircular "city gate" appeared on the long wall. This gate is more than 50 meters wide, and you can see the ruins of Sanbaoyan City inward.

The man in the middle groaned. The city gate expanded again and completely cut off the wall.

A circular cover with a diameter of 100 meters protected them, and then the man took a step and walked into the city.

Everything disappeared silently wherever it passed, and the ground seemed as smooth as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.

Five minutes later, he moved the guard post and found the gap here. After a moment of extreme shock, he immediately rushed to the nearest checkpoint and rang the alarm bell regardless of the other party's inquiries.

Three minutes later, the wall was shining brightly, and the first gunshot sounded in the city.

But it was just a sound, fleeting.

The gunshot that happened in Zamboanga was indeed the "first shot".

Because at the other end of the long coastline, the Imperial Garage Base also ushered in a wave of invaders.

When the first shell fell outside the base, causing a wave of earth to soar into the sky and making a huge roar, everyone realized that this was not the enemy's usual harassment, but a sudden all-out war.

On the heavy sea, among the surging wind and waves, countless figures of ships emerged. There are large fishing boats that can be fired for artillery fire, and smaller small sampans that seem to be about to capsize in the wind and waves. What they have in common is that each boat is filled with dense figures - those figures are taller than ordinary people, slightly hunched, like bloodthirsty beasts that are eager to pounce on.

The artillery positions on the coastline immediately began to counterattack. At first, only sporadic artillery fire fell into dense ships, sending large groups of alien species into the seabed. Then there was even more violent cluster artillery fire, and a whole sky-sky-sky-sky* suddenly appeared on the sea surface.

But the number of enemies in the sea water with even darker night seemed to be countless, with ships of various types charging towards the sea one after another, and the angry roars of aliens.

The front-line commander who rushed over was just a glance from the telescope and exclaimed: "How is that possible?!"

It is indeed impossible. After the aurora, the reason why humans were able to stand stalemate with species for a year was because of the limitations of infected "exotic species".

Most alien species are mutated by ordinary people and cannot escape the protection of species. Once they leave that range, they will bleed in the seven orifices due to overdrawing their vitality and twitching.

Only a very small number of "awakened people" - those aliens who have some intelligence to some extent can leave the infection zone freely like those of humans, and fight with qualities that are no less than a B-level abilities person.

Some people once compared those ordinary alien species to the "zombies" in the "Resident Evil" series. But in the eyes of most people who know them, although these things are stronger in single combat than zombies, they are not as terrifying as them.

They are just mutated people - strong vitality. But excessive injuries and excessive blood loss can also cause them to die. Most importantly, these guys can only stay in the occupied areas - as long as the species does not appear, ordinary people will not be alienated.

But the current situation has subverted people's perceptions--it is impossible for so many awakened people. In other words, the alien species have left their infection range and started to act freely.

After a moment of shock, the commander began to organize a counterattack - they were already fully prepared to recover a small island occupied by awakened people in the Pacific, with sufficient reserves of weapons and ammunition.

So the junction between the sea and the coast was bright, and the rumbling sound of cannons spread over ten kilometers under the night sky, just like a rolling thunder suddenly sounded between heaven and earth.

But now is not the era of extremely developed information exchange in the past. There are always many people who cannot know what is happening on the coast...

For example, a small village more than 40 kilometers away from the coast.

The village has been abandoned for a long time. In the past, there were banana gardens around the village, but what happened a year ago led to a large wave of refugees. People who were running in panic had not yet figured out what happened in Zamboanga when they ran away. So they spread the terrifying scenes in the city again and again, and eventually turned into a version where the end of the world had arrived.

The rumors spread very quickly and the range was very wide. More than a dozen families who once lived here were panicked. After cleaning up the fine and soft things, they ran to the north in order to stay away from the terrible land.

After the owner left, the place was ravaged by the fugitives, causing the house to collapse and the banana forest to be destroyed. When the owner came back, he found that his home was no longer there. Because of the traffic and communication inconvenient caused by the aurora, he had to stay away from here and go to the nearby cities with a more dense population.

So it was silent for a long time.

But if you look closely, you will find a little swaying fire in a room. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!)
