Chapter 103 Desperate Situation
"Hurry up, you guys."
A man shouted, and there were constant rustling sounds. In the darkness in the distance, some tentacles were squirming, and several men were sweating and installing lights.
Some men held up flashlights and looked at the darkness in the distance. Tentacles continued to extend into the light, but then they burned without fire.
Many people are very panicked. This is the outer territory of the Angus family. A full circle of bright lights has been set up around the territory. These people patrol 24 hours a day. If there is any problem with the lighting, they must immediately Emergency repair.
Now the rear has begun to prepare for evacuation. It will take at least a month to completely evacuate, because if the power consumption continues like this, everything will stop.
The most frightening thing is that these things grow very fast. In just the blink of an eye, these things will spread out silently.
Chaos has begun again. Emergency evacuations are underway everywhere. Many people are dragging their belongings and their families to the mountains. Now the only way for humans is to evacuate. They can only keep evacuating back because these things are too scary. .
These black and red tentacles can swallow humans in an instant. Some people tried to study them, but failed. These things will multiply in a short period of time.
And the gods have made no movement until now. Now many people understand why violent lights would light up in all four directions for a period of time. At first, many people thought that the gods were trying to stabilize the temperature and conduct some kind of experiment. But now most people know that the gods are here to scatter these tentacles.
The only weakness of the tentacles is strong light and low-brightness light sources. Although they are effective for these tentacles, the effect is too slow.
Everyone was very nervous, and several emergency repair people were also in a panic. They just hoped to install the strong lights as soon as possible and then go to the back to rest.
There is a 24-hour rotation here every day, and everyone is taking huge risks to stop in a place where there is a monster just a few meters away. This is unbearable for many people.
"I can not stand it any more."
Someone yelled, turned around and started running. As the people ran away, the terror that some people had suppressed during the week spread out, and more and more people got up and planned to run.
Bang bang
Gunfire rang out, and the military men opened fire directly. Several people who were escaping were hit and fell to the ground. Some people who were planning to escape were whimpering in pain.
"I don't want to die."
A man said, and others echoed, but the military people are the same at this moment. They don't want to die because they are afraid that by the time they can evacuate, there will be no room for them in the rear. This is What these people fear most is that after putting in such efforts, they can only starve to death.
In such a chaotic situation, the only correct choice is to bring weapons and only food and go near the base of the gods.
Many people had reached the limit of their patience. At this time, the soldier who fired was reprimanded by his superiors. He looked blankly at the large number of shadows passing by in the darkness in the distance, smiled sadly, and then raised his pistol and ignored everyone. He pulled the trigger unprepared.
There were sounds of panic everywhere, and many people looked at everything in front of them numbly. The chaos started without warning. No one stopped everyone from escaping. More and more people put down their work, turned around and ran away.
Some people began to snatch their reserve food, picked it up and ran away. The entire edge was in chaos. At this time, the lights went out at an edge.
Under such high-intensity lighting, old equipment dismantled from other places cannot last long, and the production of new equipment is almost impossible.
There was a rustling sound, and someone shouted in terror, because where the lights went out, black and red tentacles spread in.
Everyone is running for survival, and many people have no destination, but the only motivation is to survive.
The long light strips on the edge have been extinguished in some places. Once the power is cut off, these tentacles will surge in like sea water.
The area that fell was not just the outer perimeter of the Angus family. At this time, the outer perimeter of the Su family was covered with black and red tentacles.
The tentacles continue to advance, and there is no life in the place they pass. Some things will be directly swallowed by the tentacles.
The Su family evacuated early in the morning. Three days ago, an extremely bloody scene was staged in the Su family's territory. If these tentacles had not arrived, it might have turned into a tragic war.
Some food and equipment that were too late to take away disappeared into the sea of black and red tentacles.
The entrance to the mountain road was already crowded with people. Many people were still waiting to pass. Some people passed through the nearby mountain forests. Many mountain towns that knew the situation had already built fortifications on the edge of the town.
Some people feel that even if they go to the base where the gods are, it is meaningless. Instead, they have to face fierce fighting. Therefore, some mountain towns rely on passes and begin to lay out strong light equipment on the outside, and only accept mutants and them. relatives.
Because mutants can generate electricity, this is extremely important to most towns.
Electric energy has become the only resource for human beings to survive.
Some vehicles loaded with supplies could barely move forward because the vehicles transporting supplies ahead were attacked, causing the road to be paralyzed, and the crowds of people later crowded on both sides.
Despair is everyone's current mood. They are all eager to arrive earlier because they heard that farmland has been established near the gods' base.
Tuk and his team were also stuck on the mountain road. Tuk had just received a call from the front that the edge had fallen.
There were still a lot of supplies in the Angus family's territory that had not been moved out, but now they had to abandon those supplies.
Tuk looked at his uneasy son and comforted him.
"It's okay, as long as the gods come out, they will find a way."
Tuk also knew that these words were comforting himself, because even if the gods got rid of those black and red tentacles, everything that humans had in the past would no longer exist, and the last bit of hope that remained would disappear.
Because the human operating system would be destroyed again this time, unless a miracle happened, or the gods led humans to continue to build a stable base, so that humans could continue to survive.
The coldness in the air made his son shiver, and Tuk picked up a cotton coat and wrapped his son.
At this time, the vehicle finally started to move, and the trouble ahead seemed to be solved. Tuk and his team would be able to reach the outskirts of the gods' base today.
The Angus family had found a town to settle down, and most of the family members and many important members in the Angus territory could go there.
That was a town of a small family that the Angus family had helped before. Tuke didn't expect that some unintentional good deeds in the past would save the Angus family today.
The reason why Tuke didn't go near the base of the gods was because he knew very well that the place was not far from the outbreak of a huge war.
With so many people rushing over, there would inevitably be disputes over food. Although there is still a certain living space in the east and west, it is only a matter of time before the east and west are covered at the speed of those black and red tentacles.
Farther north, most people would have starved to death before they even got there.
The convoy was moving very slowly, with the Angus family's army slowly following on both sides. Tuke counted that there were about 30,000 people who would go to that town.
The families in the town were also very welcoming. The town had been almost destroyed in the war, but it still occupied a favorable terrain. At this speed, it would take at least three hours to get there.
Tuke had already notified those who had escaped in the back to come to this town, and anyone on the list could enter.
At this time, some corpses appeared on the roadside. Avano stared at them in a daze. Tuke covered his son's eyes and said.
"Don't look at Avano anymore. Those things are meaningless. Have a good rest."
After the car swayed on the road for more than two hours, it successfully entered the town. There were only more than 30 people in this small family in the town. They came to greet them enthusiastically and immediately gave the management rights to Tuke.
Tuke certainly knew that they were too happy to have so many equipment and materials entering the town, and they would be extremely safe with the army.
Tuke began to arrange for the army to strictly check everyone entering the town. They needed to match their identity records, and many people were turned away.
There were begging sounds everywhere, but Tuke knew very well that if there was one more person, their family would be more dangerous.
Looking at the unhappiness on his son's face, Tuke said.
"Go and rest Avano, go and accompany your brothers and sisters."
Avano looked back at the people who were refused to enter the town and left crying, and got into the fist.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the equipment was unloaded and various aspects of production began. Tuke directed people to build a strong light belt at the edge, so that when the tentacles came over, they could at least resist.
There was a fire not far away, and the situation near the gods' base could be seen here. There were more and more fires. Tuke sighed. He knew that war was inevitable. Now the whole human race had fallen into a desperate situation. If they wanted to survive, they had to take action first.
Many people seemed to know this truth. Tuke closed his eyes and looked at the dark earth in the distance. There was almost no light.
The road was still full of people. After so many years of war, the population was at least 20 million. Such a large population rushed to the gods' base in one breath. Tuke didn't dare to think about what would happen.
At this time, many people stood on the towering walls of the Angus family. They missed the best time. The cold wind was blowing constantly, and below was the black and red tentacles that had already rushed into the city.
Many people came back to the city to look for some supplies first, and they found a lot, but when they wanted to run again, it was too late. Now many people were very panicked because these tentacles had begun to climb up the city wall.
Some people took out food and started eating, and some people took the bottle and drank directly.
Everyone knew that the last moment had come. At this time, the man who drank the wine in one breath threw away the bottle, then laughed and walked to the edge of the city wall and shouted.
"I'll go down first."
After saying that, the man jumped down, some people screamed, some people ran over, and the man's figure disappeared in the sea of black and red tentacles.
More and more people jumped down, and the people on the city wall were desperate, and Monica was there at this time. Fry beside him looked at the scene in front of him in fear.
Some people walked towards Monica with a smile. They were several men. Monica sneered and knew what they wanted to do. In an instant, Monica ended their lives. At this time, someone discovered that Monica was a mutant.
They all looked for help, but after knowing Monica's name, the hope in everyone's eyes turned into deeper despair in an instant, and some people jumped down directly.
Monica brought Fry here, originally intending to find the Angus family, but unexpectedly they had already evacuated. Monica originally thought that this side would be more stable, but unexpectedly the situation here was the same.
"What should we do, Monica?"
Fry asked, and Monica said with a smile.
"It's okay, I can still protect you if there is a problem."
There were fewer and fewer people on the wall, Monica took out a cigarette and lit it, and Fry shouted.
"Don't jump, those things are not climbing up anymore."
But some people still jumped down, and some people woke up at this time. They watched the tentacles that spread to the wall fade away and move quickly towards the distance.
Monica smiled and said.
"Fry, remember, the human heart is the biggest problem, and fear is always the thing that kills the human heart."
Fry nodded seriously, and the place in the city where the black and red tentacles crawled over had become dilapidated.
Many people settled down because these tentacles were moving towards the mountain. They didn't need to worry for the time being. Many people brought enough food to live for a while.
Many people began to enter some watchtowers directly to rest.
Monica and Fry also found a room to store weapons. They took the food in and closed the door. It was much warmer here.
"How long do you think we have to stay, Monica?"
Fry asked, and Monica laughed and shook her head.
"The worst case scenario may be a long time."
Monica didn't take Fry away because she knew very well that the people who escaped were the biggest threat at the moment.
Monica hugged Fry, and the two huddled together, listening to the whistling cold wind outside and the huge rustling sound. Monica looked into the distance. Humanity has reached the most critical moment. If the gods have no way, humans will become extinct.
According to the spread of these black and red tentacles, humans have at most one week left, and Monica laughed.
"Fry, what if we can only live here in the future?"
Fry laughed.
"We can make a planting area in the city wall, so we can survive!"
