Chapter 640: Night Falls
Long Xiao and his party completed the task and finally returned to the base at five o'clock in the evening.
After stepping out of the temporary cordon and the three lines of defense in front of Qilan City, I saw a large group of people waiting in the distant light.
At the front of this group of people was the Hundred Flowers Fairy in military uniform, and then there were a subordinate of General Langning. On the other side, Meng Xiong took Wang Shu's mother and son, who had just been rescued, and Mrs. Lin, Long Yanlin, and Tian Yinger.
They are all anxiously looking forward to the fact that at night the Zerg will become ferocious and irritable, which is especially unfavorable to humans.
If you don't come back, you really can't come back.
So when General Ronning and the others appeared, a group of people exclaimed as if they had seen heroes.
Tian Ying'er and Baihuaniang screamed and threw themselves into Long Xiao's arms, crying silently. Baihua Niang is now even more dependent on Long Xiao. Her father was trapped inside, and her life and death were unknown, and she now only had Long Xiao to rely on.
"Okay, it's okay, I'm not coming back. Let go first, I'm dirty, don't stain your clothes. ”
Long Xiao was held tightly by the two daughters and couldn't breathe, and hurriedly coaxed them. After discovering his slimy appearance, the two of them laughed, Baihua Niang angrily hammered Long Xiao's shoulder, Tian Ying'er smiled happily, and then pulled Long Xiao back to the camp.
But after arriving at the camp, Long Xiao and the others still had one more thing to do. Everyone seemed to know what to do next, and they all followed them in silence.
Coming to the Wailing Wall, General Ronning put a large black plastic bag in his hand on the ground, then picked up a pen and wrote down the people he had confirmed to be dead one by one.
The Wailing Wall has an automatic identification system, and if it is a duplicate name, there will be an option to enter the ID number, and everyone can find their loved ones according to the ID number.
Because the deceased usually carried an identity card with him, and only after confirming that it was himself would it be written on the Wailing Wall.
In other words, all the names on the Wailing Wall have been carefully proofread and there will be no mistakes.
Every time General Ronning wrote down a person's name and ID number, there would be some faint crying. There are also names that are written, and there is no crying. There are also several names with the same surname...... These are all family members who died together.
After writing these names, everyone endured their grief, whether they knew or not, they were all victims of this disaster, and they all deserved to mourn for them silently.
I don't know how many times such a simple mourning ceremony has been held today. Tens of thousands of names lined up on the Wailing Wall, as if they were crying silently.
……
After the mourning ceremony was over, Long Xiao returned to the tent and rinsed it cleanly, the hot water did not hurt Long Xiao, a person who had risen to the eighth order, and finally relaxed the tense nerves.
This day is really tired, he has no strength to move, and he can enter the game to rest.
However, suddenly thinking that Lang Ning was only at the fifth-order star power level now, Long Xiao couldn't sit still in the bathtub. After a quick scrub, he took a small mention of twelve high-grade blue powder potions and found General Ronning.
What people didn't expect was that General Langning was still holding a meeting with his subordinates, but when he saw Long Xiao standing at the door, he put the matter aside and let everyone disperse.
"What's wrong?"
General Langning's clothes haven't changed yet, he's really busy. After all, Qilan City has become like this, he has already felt guilty, and the most important thing this time is to quickly save Qilan City from the brink of collapse, so he is very busy discussing rescue plans with his subordinates day and night.
Long Xiao put the high-grade blue fire potion on the table and said, "General Langning, this thing is for you." Get a few people to watch over you and drink it. One bottle at a time, try to come. Hopefully tomorrow you'll see that you've broken through. ”
"Breakthrough? You mean this thing? ”
General Langning has been trapped in the Fifth Order for five years. In the past five years, he has tried his best to break through, but he has never succeeded.
Long Xiao's words made him ignite the flame of hope, and there was an impulse in his heart, that is, to drink the potion immediately.
Because of the contract, General Langning has regarded Long Xiao as his most important person, and he will believe everything he says 100%, and he will absolutely trust it, so Long Xiao's words made him treat it very solemnly.
"I went to rest. Tomorrow give me a list of the star power equipment that your subordinate star people want, and I will try to customize it according to their requirements. ”
This day is exhausting, although the effect of the resurrection of the dead wood is not any sequelae in the game, but in reality, the dead wood is completely dependent on the stored energy of Long Xiao's body. Therefore, Long Xiao must quickly replenish a lot of energy and rest quickly, otherwise the sequelae will be particularly obvious.
General Langning could also see Long Xiao's pale face after taking a bath, so he hurried away.
As for Long Xiao, well, there is something he "forgot" to tell General Langning. That's the blue fire potion...... No, it's this high-grade blue powder potion, and the feeling of drinking it is a little bit painful.
General Ronning probably doesn't blame himself.
When Long Xiao returned to the room and took out his game compartment and was about to lie down, he heard a scream of "ah" from General Langning in the distance.
Hearing this scream, Long Xiao felt that his day was complete, and gloated and buckled the lid of the game warehouse and entered the virtual world.
After his consciousness entered the virtual world, his body was protected by a nourishment warehouse and was in a deep sleep. It's also the kind of rest that everyone wants on the first night of disaster. Because they all want to escape, escape from a world full of cannibal zergs.
In the game, at least they know that they are alive, and in reality, they will definitely not be able to sleep without the help of the game warehouse.
This is true not only for the citizens of Chilan City, but also for other citizens of the First World. Because of the Zerg disaster, it can not spread if it is well controlled. What if it's not well controlled?
Who dares to guarantee that today it is the city of Chilan that disappears, and tomorrow it will not be the disappearance of other cities?
So everyone was watching the news of Chilan City with trepidation.
The in-game transmitters smell of sadness, and they all send messages of condolence to their loved ones. Maybe no one reads, maybe no one knows who these people are, but they all silently choose not to top this information.
One list after another came in, and no one wanted to fight monsters even in the game. My heart was heavy as pressing against a stone.
