Rebirth: Kill Through the Doomsday Game

Chapter 55 Snow City ()

"Bang!" Su Heng seized the opportunity and pulled the trigger. The spiritual crystal bullet flew towards the infected person's swooping trajectory, leaving a dark red light in the air.

The spirit crystal bullet hit between the snow-white feathers of the infected person, blood splashed, and it let out a shrill scream. It glanced at Su Heng with resentment and fear, and then flapped its wings quickly before Su Heng took aim for the second time. flew away.

An ordinary infected person will be killed in one hit by a spiritual crystal bullet, but it can actually escape...

Gu Lingxin looked calm and put away the spiritual crystal dagger he had just taken out. After checking that there were no other potential dangers around him, Su Heng drove the dilapidated car back to the road, and the two continued to drive into Qiming City.

The closer we got to the center of the city, the lower the temperature became, and the minivan drove slower and slower. After about ten minutes, it was completely unable to drive on the frozen road.

The two of them had no choice but to get out of the dilapidated pickup truck and walked towards the surrounding buildings in the cold wind. Gu Lingxin had a fireball floating in her palm. If she didn't rely on [Fire] to keep warm, with the thin windbreaker and shirt she was wearing, It has long been frozen.

"Let's find a place to take shelter first." Gu Lingxin pointed to the front. The minivan was not the Messiah's Cullinan. It didn't even have air conditioning inside, and the window glass looked like it would break at any time. Continue Staying in the car will only freeze into an ice sculpture together with the car that has burned out the oil.

There was a residential building ahead, but a thick ice wall formed at the entrance of the corridor. Su Heng held Tang Hengdao and slashed it down vertically. The polished spiritual crystal blade struck the ice wall, making a crisp sound and a thick The ice wall remained motionless.

Gu Lingxin raised her hand, and blazing flames poured out, surrounding the area. However, in the biting cold wind, the [Fire] that had been improved many times was still swaying and had a tendency to extinguish.

Carrying the risk of being frozen, they spent a lot of effort to make the ice wall start to melt. Then they used Tang Hengdao to cut open the ice wall, and they had a place to take shelter from the wind.

"Meow~" The little black cat jumped out of the carriage, followed the hole in the ice wall into the corridor, and curled up at Gu Lingxin's feet.

But the wind also whined in from the ice hole they dug. Gu Ling shivered, took back the fire ball for warmth, and walked up the stairs.

This is a relatively old-fashioned residential building. Except for the entrance on the first floor, which was drilled by them, the windows on the upper floors were frozen solid. Looking out from inside the thick layer of ice, it was vaguely visible. You can see snowflakes flying in the sky.

The temperature outside seems to be lower.

"It seems that we won't be able to get out in a short time." Su Heng looked out the window and shrugged, "Can anyone live here? There is no heating in the summer."

Gu Lingxin turned around and knocked on the door of this house.

No one responded to her.

Then I knocked on other residents, but still got no response.

I went up to the last door on the top floor and found no response from any of the residents.

"Is there no one living here?" Gu Lingxin took a look at the environment in the corridor. Although it was old, it was not abandoned. When she first arrived, there were two pots of flowers wilted by the cold on a window sill. It proves that this place has not been uninhabited for a long time.

If the aboriginal people really left or encountered something unexpected at the end of the world, it would be better to break in, lest they also freeze to death here. "Squeak-" The last door in front of them opened, and an older-looking woman observed the two of them through the crack in the door.

Although she was in the house, the old woman was still covered in thick cotton clothes. Her eyes were full of doubts and scrutiny, and she looked at Gu Lingxin and Su Heng warily.

Su Heng immediately nodded to her: "Hello madam, the second team of the official Awakener execution team, can I briefly ask you about the situation in Qiming City?"

The other party didn't answer immediately, and there was silence for a while through the crack in the door. Then she removed the anti-theft chain inside the door and invited the two of them in together with the little black cat.

The room was not much warmer than the outside. Since it was cloudy outside, the light in the room was also very dim. When the old woman led them in, she pressed the light switch several times, but the chandelier on the ceiling did not respond. Affected by the bad weather, the power supply here was not available.

There is a charcoal basin filled with charcoal ash next to the coffee table in the living room, but ordinary residents do not always have fuels such as charcoal or coal at home, and there is no temperature on the charcoal basin. It seems that the fuel that can be used for heating has long been used up.

"Official awakened people?" The old woman gathered her cotton-padded clothes and sneered, "Last time when high-risk infected people appeared in Qiming City, a group of officially awakened people also came, but they were beaten back within two days. It is said that several people were sacrificed...the official awakened ones are not that good either..."

"The high-risk infected person you are talking about is the mutated white wolf, right?" Gu Lingxin smiled, pulled out the spiritual crystal dagger, pointed the tip in her direction, and politely handed the dagger to the old woman, "This The dagger is made from the spiritual crystal dug out of its head."

She was indeed the one who killed the infected person, but she wasn't sure whose spiritual crystal the dagger was made of. In short, it was a meritorious service earned by killing the infected person.

Then she condensed another ball of fire, which fell into the charcoal basin on the ground. The temperature in the room increased significantly.

The old woman glanced at Gu Lingxin in surprise, but did not pick up the dagger. She nodded, her face softened slightly: "Sit down, you are wearing this, and you are freezing in the house. I will get you two pieces." clothing."

"Thank you so much, sister." Su Heng said with a smile.

elder sister? There was a slight crack in Gu Lingxin's smile. It seemed that Su Heng knew how to get along with women.

However, the old woman didn't accept this trick and gave Su Heng a blank look: "You can just call me aunt, or aunt. Can't you see that I'm almost sixty years old? I'm still my sister."

She took two heavy cotton coats, two floral cotton-padded jackets and a blanket from the inner room, and threw them to both of them. Although after putting them on, she felt as if she would go to the fields to plow the next second, but at least they kept them The body was pulled back from the edge of freezing.

"Thank you." Gu Lingxin breathed a sigh of relief while wrapped in cotton-padded clothes and blankets. She took out her phone and clicked the shutter button on Su Heng, who was buttoning her flower-padded jacket. She turned around and sent the message to Messiah and Gu Yu.

Su Heng ignored her, thanked the old woman, and couldn't wait to enter the questioning phase: "Auntie, when did Qiming City start to cool down?"

The old woman put a stainless steel cup filled with water on a burning charcoal basin to heat it. It looked like the power had been out for some time, and she seemed to have not drank hot water for a while.

"About half a month ago." She picked up the cup and took a sip of warm water. "That's when the administration notified the security station to be established."
