    In the early morning, the base was still brightly lit and there was no distinction between black and white. On the machine gun position leading to the tunnel exit, two soldiers were dozing off against the sandbags.  Lin Chuan sighed and walked slowly towards them.  Since returning to the base, it has become his habit to go to the ground at 5:30 every morning to listen to the morning news. At this time, the base is silent as usual, with only a few soldiers and workers on night shift still awake.  In order to save electricity, most of the lights are turned off, leaving only a few important places lit all night.  People in the base often don¡¯t get up until after 7:30, and after the maintenance team starts the daily generator set at 8 o¡¯clock every morning, the stronger lights can make people feel that day has arrived.  The base management committee deliberately wants to create a life atmosphere similar to that before the doomsday, but no matter how hard they try, they still cannot change the reality that everything is deteriorating.  Oil continued to decrease and building materials were basically exhausted. Although Lin Chuan led the team to the ground several times to transport some urgently needed supplies, the consumption of nearly two thousand people still left the base with supplies depleted day by day.  The only thing that makes people happy is that because it is buried deep underground, the cooling of the base is not obvious, and there is no additional increase in heating consumption.  The dozing sentry was patted from behind, and he suddenly woke up. When he turned around, he saw Lin Chuan, the nominal person in charge of the base again.  "Captain Linit's so early again." He said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.  Lin Chuan nodded silently, waiting for him to open the door to the outside and turn off the motion sensor alarm device.  He thanked the two of them and walked out quickly.  "What a weirdo." The sentry said to his companion who was also yawning.  "Who says it's not?" The companion nodded in agreement.  "He goes out so early every day. I wonder what he is busy with?" "Maybe he is looking for food." The sentry said quietly.  "I heard that he had to eat for ten people at one meal!" "Is that still a human being?" the companion said in surprise.  "No wonder some people say he is a robot." "It would be great if he was a robot." The sentry shook his head.  "I heard that he is a mutant Do you know about mutants? They are the kind of humanoid monsters that are infected, but for some unknown reason, he did not turn into a monster, but still looked like a human." This was circulated in the base.  It has been a rumor for a long time, but everyone only talked about it privately.  "Amitabha No matter what it is, just don't hurt us." The sentry looked at no one around and said cautiously.  "That's not necessarily true. I heard that he will go crazy after being seriously injured, and he will kill all the living things around him." "Oh my God! What should we do? Why is there such a thing in the base" came from behind.  Every word of the voice reached Lin Chuan's ears, forcing him to walk faster and faster.  It¡¯s unclear where such rumors started. Zeng Yu believed that Leng Suan was responsible. However, when he and Zhou Tao investigated further, they found that the source of some rumors came from team members who had fought with Lin Chuan.  They had seen Lin Chuan's appearance when he broke out, and had frequent contact with him, so it was inevitable that they would find some unusual behaviors.  The spare time life in the base was terribly poor, so they inadvertently mentioned some things as bragging rights. After several times of adding fuel to the fire and spreading the news, it became what it is now.  This made Lin Chuan both angry and sad, but there was nothing he could do.  The result of suppressing rumors is that the rumors circulating in private are even more outrageous. In the base, Lin Chuan always feels that the eyes of others looking at him are full of suspicion and wariness.  This made him feel depressed and almost unable to lead the team to work normally. Later, he would either hide in the office or go outside alone, leaving all problems to Li Mingfeng to deal with.  Most of the time, he chooses to go outside.  There have been four heavy snowfalls on the ground. The roads and buildings are covered with ice. The glass of many houses has been cracked by the frost. The lowest temperature reported on the news is minus nine degrees.  In Lin Chuan¡¯s memory, Jianghai has rarely experienced such low temperatures in recent years.  This may be one of the results of the closure of all factories and the suspension of all cars. Lin Chuan did not want to speculate on the real reason. He was just worried about the survivors scattered in the city.  Lin Chuan is used to climbing to the Haihong Hotel, the tallest building near the tunnel exit, to listen to the news and observe the surrounding situation every morning. Every morning, he can always see many monsters lying dead on the roadside due to the low temperature.  The winter sun no longer has a burning effect on the monsters' skin. After the sun comes out, there are always many monsters gathering around these corpses to eat, and then they disperse and hide in the evening.?A place sheltered from the wind.  The cold winter makes the time for survivors to move even shorter, and most people have to go out in the coldest night to look for food and things to burn to keep warm.  Lin Chuan stayed here until night several times, hoping to see lights or fires, but in the few times he found it, when he rushed over, he only saw the mutilated corpses of the victims and people frantically grabbing food.  monster.  Li Weilin¡¯s team only transported less than forty survivors to the base. All of them were young adults. In this city, the elderly and children have disappeared.  After entering January, Li Weilin finally led his team into the base. The situation on the ground had deteriorated to the point where it was difficult for their team to maintain itself.  Lin Chuan agreed that they should continue to remain independent and designated a small area in the base for them.  They still look down on the mediocre people in the base. In order to repay Lin Chuan for taking them in, they patrol the nearby tunnels every day and clear out the small monsters that enter the tunnels.  There is still nothing worth mentioning in today's news. What worries Lin Chuan is that ice has begun to form around several islands in the north. The survivors on the islands are braving the cold and desperately chipping away at the ice, hoping to keep the monsters at bay.  Outside.  ??Hope they can survive.  He sighed and thought as he looked north.  At this moment, he saw a faint plume of black smoke drifting away from a building about four kilometers away, and he immediately rushed over.  Such a distance is no longer a problem for him. Liang Jin carefully studied the documents about the demon Wang Zhi and judged that his ability at this time has roughly reached the level when Wang Zhi was first attacked by the Ministry of National Security.  Very low, but enough for him to do many unimaginable things.  The steel spear he throws within more than ten meters can directly penetrate the skulls of most small and medium-sized monsters, killing them with one blow.  He can also directly break their leg bones and even spines.  When his energy was fully activated, a five-story mutant was violently thrown out by him.  But the cost of doing this is that he has eaten nearly one-fifth of the base's food reserves.  The Sentinel¡¯s guess is not bold enough and is far from the truth.  He jumped quickly between buildings. In just a few minutes, he stood on the top of the house.  Completely different from what he expected, this was not the smoke from the survivors cooking, but a blazing fire.  It developed quickly, and the entire room where the fire started was on fire.  Lin Chuan heard a miserable howl, and he climbed down the wall without hesitation.  The room was filled with furniture. A man whose whole body was on fire was standing by the window and roaring in pain. Lin Chuan rushed in and found two burning corpses in front of him, one large and one small.  The intense fire had caused his skin to burst open, and tissues and organs had even been exposed in some places. Lin Chuan did not dare to touch his body directly with his hands. He saw a quilt next to him that had not yet begun to burn, and immediately grabbed it.  , wrapped the man and took him out of the room.  Hundreds of monsters have been attracted by the fire and gathered downstairs. Lin Chuan carried him to the top of the building, grabbed the snow on the roof and sprinkled it on him. He wailed in pain, but the fire on his body finally went out.  This man looked terrible. Many places had been burned to the bone, and blood was gushing out along the cracked muscles.  Lin Chuan frowned and looked at him silently.  He is hopeless.  His wailing finally stopped, and every inch of his muscles was twitching, making Lin Chuan terrified.  "Youwho are you?" the man struggled to ask.  "I'm here to save you." Lin Chuan deceived him kindly.  "I will take you to a safe place right away. There are doctors there who will definitely cure you!" He hoped that the man could die with hope instead of dying in despair like most people, but the man was stunned for a moment.  , but bumped into him.  "Whywhy didn't you" He cried loudly, throwing himself from the quilt and falling into the snow, and a large stain of bright red blood spread.  Lin Chuan tried to help him up, but he took advantage of the situation and bit him hard. Lin Chuan tried hard to shake him off, but he used the last bit of his strength to bite Lin Chuan's hand.  "Are you crazy?" Lin Chuan pinched his gums and finally broke away. He fell to the ground again, crying hysterically.  "Xiaomei Qiongfen I hate it so much I hate it so much! Why why!" His voice was broken, and Lin Chuan could only guess that it should be the names of the two corpses below.  "What happened?" he asked.    "They didn't have to didn't have to die you why did you" The man twisted on the ground crazily, trying to bite Lin Chuan's foot again.  But his injuries could no longer support such a crazy move, and he soon fell into the snow and became motionless.  Lin Chuan couldn't understand the reason for doing this. He wrapped a bag full of snow in his quilt, climbed into the room where the fire broke out again, and sprinkled the snow on the fire. After several trips back and forth, the fire finally went out.  The room was in a mess, and it was almost impossible to see the original appearance. Lin Chuan carefully looked at the remaining traces in the room with grievance and confusion.  The flames started burning from the position of the two corpses. It looked like they had been poured with oil in advance. The corpses had been almost completely burned and nothing could be seen. However, Lin Chuan saw an unburnt rope at the side.  In the next room, he saw a family photo that had not been completely burned.  A lovely and well-behaved daughter, a beautiful and quiet mother, and a tall and handsome father.  He saw that all the windows had been reinforced with wooden boards, the rooms on the entire floor had been opened up, and the passages leading upstairs and downstairs were packed with furniture.  In the empty room, you can vaguely see the traces left by the family living here for four months. In the room used as the living room, there are empty dishes and chopsticks after the last breakfast.  Father, mother and daughter each took a portion and licked them cleanly.  Lin Chuan¡¯s tears burst out involuntarily.  Lin Chuan can completely imagine how hard the young parents went through to survive.  Fortunately, they escaped the monster's attack, pried open the doors of every neighbor's house, and survived with the few food they had left.  Lin Chuan could not imagine what kind of efforts the family had made in more than four months.  But today, they finally gave up.  They had their last breakfast here and returned to their homes.  ¡°Perhaps putting on the most respectable clothes, the father strangled his wife and daughter to death, put them on the bed, moved all the furniture, and set the room on fire.  When he entered the room, the young father was not screaming for his life, but crying for the death of his wife and children.  Lin Chuan couldn¡¯t say a word as he recalled his last vicious and crazy look.  "Why didn't you come earlier?" He could already understand the man's last question. If he had come here an hour earlier, maybe none of them would have died.  But what can he do?  "If he hadn't seen the black smoke when the fire burned, he would have never known that there were survivors hiding here.  While they were avoiding the monsters, they also made it impossible for Lin Chuan to find them.     Is it really?  A voice was torturing his soul.  You can obviously become stronger, more agile, and more perceptive.  You could have saved more people.  But you didn¡¯t.  You can¡¯t stand the pain and face yourself.  You are a coward.  Lin Chuan carefully moved the remains of the body on the bed to the roof, collected more wood, and then lit them.  "Please rest in peace. The place you are going to must be a paradise that is much happier than here." He deceived himself and said.  A mutant man climbed up from the wall. It had mutated so much that there were almost no traces of a human being.  But Lin Chuan could still feel the weak energy in its body.  That is the remaining human part of it.  It is also a part that Lin Chuan can use.  The mutant opened his mouth wide and exposed his fangs, trying to intimidate Lin Chuan.  However, Lin Chuan rushed towards it, grabbed its head and pushed it to the ground.  It struggled desperately, grabbing its limbs wildly, but it couldn't make Lin Chuan move even a bit.  He looked at the bulging blood vessels on the dark red neck and finally bit it.
