Chapter 488: The Fog Wall Advancing
Grandma put on her thickest down jacket.
"Okay, don't worry about me. You and Xiao Huai should go to bed early. If you don't want to wash the dishes, just leave them there and I'll come back to wash them tomorrow."
After that, she left the space.
Pu Huai cleaned up the last bit of leftovers on the plate and said, "You go exercise, I'll clean up here."
He put a pot of water on the stove and slowly heated it up with the residual heat, so that when Anjiu finished his training for the day, he would have hot water to soak his feet.
Anjiu saw that he had boiled a lot of water, so he found a large basin and prepared to wash his body. After exercise, he was covered in sweat, and felt sticky and uncomfortable.
"You go out first."
But when she turned around, she could no longer see Pu Huai in the space.
It seemed that he had realized what she was going to do, so he left on his own initiative.
But she still built a shower room with a shower curtain.
After she felt refreshed, she changed into comfortable cotton pajamas, carried the dirty water out of the space, and poured it out through the window.
Pu Huai was not in the room, and An Jiu thought he might have gone to see his grandmother.
That is indeed the result.
"Grandma and the others were sitting together. When I went there, they were chatting and laughing, looking relaxed."
Pu Huai put his palm on the top of her head and rubbed it.
"So don't worry, I'll come over from time to time at night, just get some rest."
"Ah."
Now there were only two of them in the space, and the air seemed to become subtle.
For each other, the other's presence was rapidly magnified at this moment, as if it was omnipresent and flowed through the body with breathing.
Anjiu took his hand away and said, "Then I'll go in and sleep."
"..." Pu Huai pulled her fingertips, "Go."
Anjiu struggled, but was held even tighter.
"you--"
Her eyes blurred and she fell into a strong embrace.
Pu Huai leaned over, slowly buried his head in the crook of her neck, closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath full of attachment.
"I've been wanting to do this for a long time."
"..."
Recently, grandma noticed that the dust falling outside the window was getting thicker and thicker.
The sticky glass windows were also covered with a gray haze.
"Xiaojiu, why is the fog wall getting closer?"
Anjiu walked up to her and looked outside.
In just a few days, the fog wall advanced nearly half the distance.
The closer they were, the more clearly they could see.
The mist is as thick as milk that cannot be dissolved, interweaving layer by layer, blocking the outside world from looking in, yet it seems to be flowing and surging with life.
It is connected to heaven and earth above and below, and there is no end in sight to the left and right.
Every morning, you can see armored vehicles driving out of the Beehive and moving towards the fog wall in groups.
Anjiu watched them for several days and witnessed with his own eyes how they rushed into the fog wall and disappeared.
But after just 15 to 20 minutes, the armored vehicles returned along the same route.
At the same time the next day, the same number of armored vehicles set out again.
Anjiu didn't understand what they were doing.
Until this day, the armored vehicles broke their normal behavior and stopped some distance away from the fog wall.
They lined up in a row, raised weapons from the roofs of their cars, and at the command, they fired at the wall of fog.
The armored vehicle's huge gun barrel made a deafening sound, and shells whizzed towards the wall of fog like meteors.
It left a trail of hot smoke in the air, making the sky extremely bright and dazzling.
Before the shells hit the fog wall, Anjiu quickly grabbed his grandmother and returned to the space.
Pu Huai was at the end of an intense workout, breathing heavily, sweat dripping from his forehead and cheeks, soaking his shirt and outlining distinct muscle lines.
He grabbed the hem of his shirt, pulled it up and wiped the sweat off his face.
Ask: "What's wrong?"
Anjiu looked away from his washboard abs.
Grandma calmly threw him a towel and said, "Use this, the clothes won't absorb water - bombs are being dropped outside, let's come in and hide."
Pu Huai took it and said, "Could it be that Ting Bai has come?"
"No," said Grandma, "the authorities are firing at the wall of fog."
Pu Huai frowned, realizing that there was something in the fog wall. If he continued to let it move forward, it would likely affect the entire building.
Only in this way would the Hive be willing to spend so much material and financial resources to create a fog.
"You guys stay here first, I'll change my clothes and go out to take a look."
He is a spirit and will not be threatened by the bomb, so it is most appropriate for him to go outside and gather information.
He quickly changed into dry clothes and returned to the real cabin.
He just happened to hear the earth-shaking explosion, the roar raging wildly in the air.
The fog wall trembled and rolled violently under the bombardment, and was scattered by the powerful force, revealing the zombies and strange creatures that were looming inside.
They were blown to pieces and their limbs flew everywhere under the impact of the explosion.
Fog and smoke filled the chaos, intertwining like a huge, scattered vortex spinning backwards.
The covered wasteland gradually emerged, revealing the ragged figures standing on it.
When they heard the noise here, they turned their heads slowly, with a strange red light burning in their empty eye sockets.
Suddenly, they opened their bloody mouths, roared, and ran towards the armored vehicles.
The zombies that were destroyed by the artillery fire, those who were still alive, used their remaining limbs to drag their bodies on the ground and headed towards the armored vehicles.
They pushed and trampled on each other, forming a horrifying wave of death in the fog.
The gun barrel on the armored vehicle aimed again.
boom--!
A violent white light flashed.
Broken limbs and debris fell like raindrops.
As the mud and dust slowly returned to the earth, my tense heart finally settled down when I saw that there was no living thing in the ruins.
The armored vehicles won a great victory in this battle.
They turned the car around and prepared to go back to the Hive to celebrate.
He didn't care about the fog behind him gradually flowing towards the gap created by the explosion.
Water flows to lower places, and fog can also flow to empty spaces.
That makes sense.
However, at this moment, a creepy figure suddenly appeared again in the looming fog.
They took twisted steps, roared, and rushed towards the ruins desperately.
The gradually clearer rotting body and empty eyes looked even more hideous as he ran, and the messy and crazy footsteps raised clouds of dust.
The armored vehicle slammed on the brakes, and the tires rubbed violently against the ground, making a sharp scream and leaving a long black mark on the ground.
The car window rolled down and five or six heads popped out.
Although we were far away, I could still imagine how harsh their curses were.
The cannon barrel that had just been retracted was brought out again.
Aiming at the rear, there was another loud bang.
The zombies that were about to rush to the fog wall were blown into the sky again.
