Chapter 191 On this day, God promised mortals
"That's all I know. There are about two shelters still in existence in this province. One is the Human Future Institute, and the other is the Dawn Foundation. I just don't know their exact locations. They protect their locations very strictly."
Wang Hu shook his head, but as he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something: "Maybe there is someone in our settlement who knows where the shelter is. It seems that he escaped from the shelter.
"If you can help us and bring back the supplies, I can promise to hand him over to you."
Nowadays, it is probably not realistic for them to bring supplies back by their own strength, and without supplies, the settlement cannot last long.
Moreover, the geographical location where the supplies are stored is in the hands of these people, and they cannot obtain it by force.
After he finished speaking, the expressions of some people behind him changed, because this might expose their position .
However, there were also a few people who looked thoughtful and realized that since the two sides were not enemies and the other side did not have much ill will towards them, it would be better to talk things out reasonably - after all, it was always better to talk about reason than physics.
Wang Hu took note of the expressions of his companions and secretly took note of which ones were suitable for training.
"Um?"
On the other side, Colin and others were also stunned. They had not guided the other party on this "sensitive topic" for fear of alerting the other party.
But what I didn’t expect was that these guys actually brought it up themselves.
"Can……"
Qin Chuan and the others looked at each other, then took out a few papers wrapped in rags and handed them over: "This is the message they left behind, and their bodies can be seen just inside the hall..."
"Can you tell me the condition of their bodies when you saw them?" Wang Hu took the suicide note, glanced at the address on it, and immediately understood the destination.
"Hanging, mummy..." Qin Chuan added some details.
After the death of an employee of "Bonfire Company", they also knew that as long as they died at dusk, the water in the human body would quickly evaporate and turn into a mummy.
They did not touch the hanged mummies, but simply buried the mummies of their own people on the spot.
After listening to Qin Chuan's explanation, Wang Hu and others nodded - death by hanging was indeed their arrangement this time.
If it was these guys who were suspected to be members of the shelter who killed people, then they probably wouldn't know the code "hang".
"Well, let's take a break first and learn more about the situation here..."
Qin Chuan glanced at everyone and was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Ke Lin on the side.
"Did you hear any noise?"
Colin tilted his head, his expression a little confused. He felt something was wrong, but he was not quite sure. However, an indescribable feeling of hunger rose in his heart.
This made him realize that things seemed not so simple.
"What what?"
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and was about to continue speaking, but suddenly he heard three muffled sounds in his ears.
"Dongdongdong~"
Not only him, but everyone present heard such a sound. They were all stunned at first, not reacting to what the sound was or where it came from. They just felt like some dull drum beats were being played, and even the air seemed to vibrate.
But the next second, when everyone was paying attention, they heard a dull sound again...
"Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The sound seemed to indicate the revival of something, and Colin and the others suddenly realized—wasn’t that just a fucking heartbeat?
Moreover, they could clearly feel that the sound came from underground!
Wang Hu's expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something: "Oh no! It's that thing under Shelter No. 24! Run quickly! Otherwise, if it wakes up, we will all die!"
There really is a reason why the Son of Dusk doesn't come into this damn place...
Colin grunted in his heart and was about to run away, but he felt a strong sense of hunger rising in his heart.
His face changed, and then he heard a certain sound -
"Eat, eat. Under the ground... that thing that has not been fully born..."
"Eat, eat, eat! It's a very nutritious thing..."
“I haven’t eaten for a long time…”
The scripture-like whispers lingered in Colin's ears. A very fragrant smell of meat came into Colin's nose, and he seemed to be able to clearly "see" through his eyes that the fragrance came from underground.
But at this moment, the saint behind Colin, who was floating behind the scenes, tracking and applying buffs but not doing anything extra, seemed to notice something and looked at Colin.
In her eyes, everything here was very hazy. She couldn't see clearly or hear anything, but she could feel that something familiar and terrifying was reviving.
Without the need for the parchment's reminder, she took the initiative to strengthen Colin's buff effect.
"Eat shit! Eating everything will only harm you!"
Colin regained his senses, suppressed his inner voice, and followed the crowd's escape.
He only stayed there for less than three seconds, so no one suspected him. As they left, the heartbeat that had become increasingly clear and even deafening in his ears slowly disappeared.
"What on earth is that thing?" Ke Lin asked, looking at Wang Hu who was being carried on his back.
"I don't know. I heard that Shelter No. 24 was attacked by the 'Son of Dusk' for unknown reasons. When they were forced into despair, they tried something. In the end, the 'Son of Dusk' left and that place became like a forbidden place."
Wang Hu explained the situation. As far as he knew, most anomalies would not approach there on their own initiative. But what was interesting was that nothing would happen to living people there.
In a sense, it is a safe spot.
Of course, the premise is not to stay too long. If you hear a heartbeat, you must evacuate immediately.
Otherwise, I might be left there forever...
After roughly understanding that as long as he and others left in time, they would not be entangled by anything, Colin breathed a sigh of relief and did not continue to pay attention to it.
Afterwards, everyone no longer planned to rest and headed directly towards Tianlong Bay.
And on the way, they learned more information about this world from survivors such as Wang Hu.
For example, the Sons of Dusk would disappear for about three days each time, then return again, illuminate the place for a few days, and then leave again.
This thing is the product of the "Human Future Research Institute". When asked why it only has the upper body, Wang Hu and others gave the reason that it is God's punishment for mankind.
A survivor who was carrying Wang Hu on his back said with gritted teeth, "Those damn guys tried to create creatures that could stand shoulder to shoulder with God, and they were eventually judged. Their blasphemous creations were also chopped off the lower half by the Lord of Heaven, forcing them to walk with their hands and be tired forever as a punishment."
Why does it feel so religious... Colin guessed that the thing's lower body might have been chopped off, but the inside story might be different from what the other party said.
In addition to the "Sons of Twilight", they also learned about the Cataclysm.
Probably around the beginning of the year more than ten years ago, the day turned into night in an instant, the sun stopped rising, people lost their minds and went crazy one after another, and a large number of strange regular phenomena emerged, and the world entered doomsday in an instant.
Later, they gradually learned some "truths" and realized that all the disasters came from those research institutes or shelters.
"However, we believe that as long as we can persevere and believe in Him, sooner or later He will descend from the sky and send His apostles to save us from darkness and disaster and free us from the sea of suffering..."
"Him?" Colin asked subconsciously, but he suddenly felt a little regretful after asking.
At this time, seeing Colin asking the question, the young man carrying Wang Hu showed a hint of fanaticism on his face. Not only him, but the other survivors all showed fanaticism and admiration, which made Colin and others feel a little uneasy.
But he himself did not notice and continued: “If you don’t mind, please allow me to introduce our Lord to you and spread His image… This is your and our only chance to be saved. Other attempts are useless. You will understand this sooner or later.
“And He, I have seen Him in my dreams. He symbolizes the pure white sky, emitting a sacred and pure light. He is extremely kind, and has twelve pairs of beautiful wings. Although He is supremely great, He is still willing to comfort the hearts of us mortals…
“He told us not to panic, but to pray to Him, and one day He will judge all the disasters and bring salvation to us innocent people…
"He told me that His name is... 'White Night'."
