The rays of sunset render the distant sky into a bright red color, but no matter how bright the red color is, it can't resist the darkness that surges from all directions. The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's just near dusk. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it's just a flash in the pan before the night. Although the sun will rise as usual tomorrow, it is a difference between the present and the past in the world.

Cao Nian looked at the horizon where red and black blended, and suddenly understood why everyone was so silent since they came to this world.

All the traces around tell the past, and of course, the last, madness.

And these madness seem so pale and powerless.

Perhaps, the dusk of mankind has come, just like the Nordic gods ushering in their own destruction.

They should use their silence to mourn the passing civilization.

"You've been watching over there for a minute-is it happened?"

Fang Heng is not a sentimental person, because his brain cells are all used for careful calculation and research. He is not like Cao Nian, who has free time to think about these ambiguous sorrows and sorrows. So, seeing Cao Nian's in a daze, Fang Heng naturally thought that Cao Nian had discovered something abnormal.

Could it be that there were a large number of zombies surrounding him? Although there was no abnormality in the picture sent back by the reconnaissance plane, Fang Heng frowned. The more arbitrary, the more suspicious he was. Fang Heng interpreted this truth with his actions.

When everyone heard Fang Heng's words, everyone showed a serious expression. Subconsciously, or almost instinctively, everyone's hands touched the weapon. Chu Jianqing stood among the crowd, guarding her side with t1,000. Now this robot has become Chu Jianqing's full-time bodyguard. Whether it is combat effectiveness or work attitude, it is quite satisfactory and impeccable. Although sometimes this guy is depressed because he never speaks badly like Zhang Yang, there is no doubt that this is a very reliable "teammate". And this robot whose combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of ordinary reincarnation is actually just a role such as housekeeper, driver and waiter in the Shura team, which is simply a waste of resources. From another perspective, the Shura team is really rich~~~ It is really enviable and jealous.

After the running-in, everyone's cooperation became more and more tacit and skillful. Although their actions now seem a bit stupid and overreacting, this kind of alertness and tacit understanding are their capital to save their lives at the critical moment of danger. Cao Nian was a little lucky that there were such a group of guys around him. Although they were a little off-line on weekdays, they were all companions who were worthy of life when they went to the battlefield.

Seeing everyone taking serious look at the crowd, Cao Nian couldn't help laughing, "Why are you all so nervous? I'm just dazed."

daze?

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, I thought I could show off my skills, but it was a pity." Zhang Yang inserted the Damascus machete back into the scabbard on his back, feeling a little disappointed.

This guy can't wait to experience the pleasure of beating zombies. Although he can also experience the stimulation of killing zombies in the somatosensory game, it is better to go on the battlefield in person. The more you play the game, the more Zhang Yang is looking forward to this trial. Unfortunately, when he came to this world, they have not encountered a zombie, and they have not even seen a trace of blood.

Maybe he happened to be teleported to a place without zombies. Zhang Yang could only comfort himself like this, and he would definitely meet him in the future.

Xu Nuo let go of the m9 in his hand. This infinite bullet pistol has been following her for some time, and she is becoming more and more skillful in using it. When simulating battles, Xu Nuo can even equalize the beauty of the fat man in short-range shooting, which can be said to be quite difficult. After all, the fat man is a professional killer in front of him, not only a sniper rifle, but also a pistol that he is good at. The woman glanced at Cao Nian and complained, "Okay, why are you stunned! I'm scared to death."

Cao Nian was stunned and could only smile slightly to apologize. The relationship between the two recently was somewhat subtle, roughly the feeling of having something to say but not knowing where to start. Cao Nian himself didn't know what was going on. Xu Nuo guessed that it was the same as him, because the moment the two met, they always dodged at the same time.

This road to New York City actually has two avenues, one is the way out of the city and the other is the way into the city. But the current situation is that both roads are filled with cars out of the city. Obviously, the people who are taking refuge are panic and don’t care about any rules. So what’s wrong with going against the road? In the face of disaster, order is more fragile than paper.

And this may also be the root cause of the chain of crashes on this avenue.

There are metal guardrails on the roadside, but large pieces of paint have fallen off, and the metal parts inside are seriously rusted. However, most of the rust is only on the surface, and the inside of the guardrail is still hard steel. This kind of thing must be constructed to take into account the time and oxidation issues, so even if no one maintains it, it can be used for a long time, although it looks unbearable to look at it.

This thing is still surviving, so will humans in this world really become extinct easily?

During the time when everyone stopped, several of the pumas followed them had gradually moved closer. Perhaps they felt that their prey was exhausted, and it was time to start dinner while the night was about to fall. These beasts were obviously not good at slapping, and they would not pray before the meal, because they were just grinning, and their bloodthirsty instinct drove them to approach everyone step by step. There was no sound when their meat mats were stepped on the ground, so if they hadn't known about their existence in advance, they might have been deceived. Especially now, the sky is getting darker, and there are more and more shadows and darkness in their sight. There are too many shadows to hide around the car.

Zhang Yang grinned. He could smell these "hunters". For him, smell was sometimes more useful than vision. He wanted to compete with these big cats and pass the boring time. With his current ability, whether it was strength or flexibility, it was enough to play these big cats in his palms. It would not be too much to say that it was a joke. Others in the team did not take these beasts seriously. With guns in hand, everyone was confident that they could send bullets to their minds the moment they launched the attack.

Others were just thinking about it, but the fat man had already taken out his pistol, which seemed even more impatient than Zhang Yang. The activist held a gun and aimed at the leading clown, but did not fire the gun until the clown jumped out from behind a van and began to hunt the "prey"!

Bang!

The deafening gunshots suddenly rang out into the sky.

Since humans disappeared, these animals have not heard such a terrible sound for a long time. Apart from the shocking sound of white lights on the night of thunderstorms, there is probably no more terrifying sound in the world than this. So, at the moment when the gunshots, several pumas that are about to move flee, and the leader, although not injured, is so scared that he runs away and disappears from sight.

The fat man inserted the gun back into the holster and turned his head to look at Cao Nian angrily.

No matter how fast the cougar is at this distance, the fat man has no reason to miss it, unless someone interferes with it. The fat man also noticed that after the bullet was fired, it obviously deviated from the correct ballistics, just like a rocket pulled down by gravity. So it was not that the fat man failed, but Cao Nian took action and changed the flight trajectory of the bullet. As the saying goes, a slight mistake is caused by a slight impact on the bullet, and the bullet will change its direction and deviate from the target seriously. Cao Nian just gently applied a horizontal force to the bullet, and the fat man could not hit the clown in front of him.

Cao Nian said as if nothing had happened: "Why do you have to?"

The fat man said: "It's just shooting a lion - with you, it seems that I have to use a sniper rifle next time."

Cao Nian smiled, "Then I have to practice hard. One day, even if it is a sniper rifle, I can do it."

The two of them began to compete for no reason, which made the people around them a little confused.

Fang Heng said: "Before the day is still dark, find a safe place to rest."

Cao Nian shrugged and said that he had no objection, "Listen to you, has the reconnaissance plane sent back any information?"

Fang Heng held the frame of his glasses and a radar-like image appeared on the transparent mirror.

"After the exploration of No. 2, there was a villa one kilometer away from us - although it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time, it was still intact." Fang Heng analyzed rationally, "We are in the past now, and we can even take some protective measures."

It is obviously not feasible to spend the night on such a barren road or wasteland, especially since they are still not sure about the surrounding situation. If you want to make a fire, set up a tent, or something, you won’t talk about shattering, it’s still very dangerous.

Chen Lang said: "Why don't you stay in the car overnight? If we are in the car, even if we encounter emergencies, it will be more convenient to escape, right?"

"A good suggestion-" Fang Heng explained patiently, "But you overlooked one thing, that is, the situation around us. First of all, you can see the situation on the highway, and obviously you can't walk. The surrounding paths and wastelands have complex terrain, and even modified off-road vehicles may fail. This is clear to you. Therefore, it is not a wise decision to use off-road vehicles before the map is drawn around, at least - in non-emergency situations, it is best not to do that."

Regarding Fang Heng's explanation, Zhang Yang nodded in agreement, with a look of the same view as the hero said, "Yes, look at those movies and TV series, how many people are in a car accident when they are running away because they are in a panic? This is a big taboo!"

Cao Nian stepped on the flying sword and slowly floated from the roof of one car to the roof of another. He said to everyone: "Since everyone has no objection, then let's go, it's almost dark."

After walking a few hundred meters ahead, a fork appeared on the road.

And this fork is the only way to the villa that Fang Heng mentioned. No, to be precise, it should be the "most convenient" road. Because this road was originally specially built for the villa, there are also specially planted trees and flowers on the roadside, but no one trimmed it, and it was already messy.

The desolate fork in the road goes straight to the lonely villa.

The last few hundred meters of road is actually a car, but given the short distance, Fang Heng had no intention of taking out the car capsules. After all, everyone was light and simple to travel, hundreds of meters, but it was only a matter of minutes.

As the villa got closer, everyone gradually realized that in fact, the name of "villa" was not accurate. Judging from the scale and structure of the place in front of them, it should actually be considered a manor.

Because this place is surrounded by iron fences, and the length of the fence is over the place where you can see the sight, which means that the large piece of land they stand at the door and look around belongs to this mansion and is a private territory.

Good, how much is such a large piece of land worth! Standing at the door, Zhang Yang couldn't help but exclaim.

Land and gold have always been priceless treasures. If you own such a piece of land in the suburbs of New York City, one of the world's financial centers, you can imagine how the owners here think they are powerful.

The door of the mansion is in a retro style, with a small door open in the middle of the black iron door for people to enter and exit. Although this design looks relatively old and has no technological content, Cao Nian found several cameras hidden in the woods next to him after entering the door. It can be seen that the security measures in this place are much better than what they look like.

After entering the gate, I had to walk more than 300 meters, through the dried marble fountain, the small garden, and a blue-black bush, everyone came to the door of the villa in the middle of the manor.

This is a three-story retro building with a similar appearance to the British Parliament Building. The surface color is classical and atmospheric brown, but due to the sky, it looks a little black now.

This place gives people a chilling feeling.

"Why do you feel like you have walked to the mansion of Count Dracula?" Chu Jianqing was obsessed with the vampire in the Twilight City a few days ago, so he made up a lot of movies and TV series about vampires. It can be said that he is an expert in this field. When he sees this building, he will inevitably think of the legend about vampires.

But what they should worry about now is zombies, not purity vampires, although both feed on humans.

"Are you talking about the shocking love for three hundred years? It's really similar-" Xu Nuo nodded.

"Hey, what are you two saying? Vampires won't appear here. Be careful of zombies with rotten meat hanging on their bodies!" Zhang Yang made a face, imitating the way the zombies walked.

"Even if there are zombies, I can't bite me!" Chu Jianqing stood t1000 next to him, so he was confident when talking, "You'd better worry about yourself."

"Stupid girl, don't talk big."

"Who is talking big? And I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Please get out of me, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I'll get out, I'll get out."

Zhang Yang said he was getting out, but in fact he followed the fat man into the house. It was pitch black inside, like a deep cave. Every step he took, he could hear the sound of crisp footsteps. This was the sound of the collision between the soles of the shoe and the wooden floor.

Everyone walked into the first floor of the house.

The first floor has a large space, and after entering the door, there are two corridors on the left and right, which are all dark and cannot see the end. This kind of anti-human design has unique advantages in creating a horror atmosphere. No wonder so many ghost movies always film in such ancient castles and villas.

There is a spiral ladder leading to the second floor, but everyone has no intention of walking up for the time being.

"The distribution room is here - Chen Lang, come and help me," Fang Heng quickly found the location of the distribution room in the house. Unlike an apartment, although this kind of villa also uses the current connected from the power grid in New York City, it is usually equipped with a generator, so just need to turn on the generator, and the villa's power system may continue to work.

In fact, even if there is no generator or something, everyone guessed that Fang Heng could find one or two props that could provide energy from his pocket. In short, power generation is definitely not a problem.

Sure enough, the power system of the villa was restored in a short while, and, thankfully, most of the electrical appliances in the villa were still intact, although the surface of the light bulb was covered with a thick layer of dust.

The whole building gradually became brighter.

The decoration inside the house is also quite particular. Whether it is the floor, ceiling, wall lights, corridor lights, or even the cashmere carpet before each door, they are extremely exquisite. Although they may not be the most exquisite and expensive, they are integrated with the design of the house, just like moving the British castle centuries ago to this place. This is the so-called "low-key, luxurious, and connotation", which is completely different from those coal bosses...

In order to ensure safety, Cao Nian, Zhang Yang and Chen Lang checked each room and confirmed that there were no zombies and biochemical monsters hidden.

During dinner, Xu Nuo and Chu Jianqing cleaned the restaurant a little. After removing the dust, everyone was finally able to sit down and rest.

"There are about two hours left to return, and the map of the suburbs of New York City can basically be drawn. We can drive to the road tomorrow morning and arrive in New York City as soon as possible." Fang Heng sat upright like a noble young master, holding a hot drink in one hand and typing on the keyboard with the other hand. Only he could understand the numbers and messages on the screen, so everyone just ate on their own, just listening. No one cared about whether the data on the computer met Fang Heng's statement.

"What about number two?"

"No. 2? I plan to switch it to thermal imaging mode and observe the situation around us, and use it as the first layer of alert."

"So, is there a second layer of warning device?"

"Yeah, that's right."

“What is it?”

“···”

"What are you looking at me? I have something on my face?" Zhang Yang stopped his work and stopped busy stuffing bread and ham into his mouth. He asked tentatively, "Can it be me?"
Chapter completed!
