Chapter 253 In the Blink of an Eye
The time soon arrived and the day agreed upon to set out on the mission arrived. The God Squad assembled and quickly left the city.
Zhu Zheng stood on the towering wall of Blizzard City, staring quietly into the distance, his eyes cold and firm.
As the snowmobiles drove out of the city gate, Zhu Zheng never took his eyes off them.
He silently watched each silver snowmobile gradually go away until they completely disappeared in the endless snowfield.
The cold wind whistled past Zhu Zheng's ears, but he felt nothing.
As the last snowmobile disappeared from sight, Zhu Zheng took a deep breath and turned away from the city wall.
And in the days to come, the era that truly belongs to him is about to come.
……
On the snowmobile, the members of the God Team headed towards the wasteland of their destination.
It has been three years since the end of the frozen world. Everywhere you look is a vast expanse of gray, which makes people feel endless despair and loneliness.
Occasionally you can see some city ruins covered with ice and snow. These once prosperous places have long become the dust of history, and only the cold steel and broken glass tell of the glory of the past.
As the snowmobile moved forward, the outline of the city gradually appeared on both sides of the road, but it was just a dead forest of steel and concrete, sleeping under the snow.
These buildings are like giants forgotten by time, lying there quietly, waiting for the judgment of fate.
The vehicle's progress was somewhat slow in the severe cold, and it was nearly two days later that the Tianshen team reached their destination.
This is a desolate snowfield, with only a lifeless paleness all around.
In the distance, countless strange stone mountains are like ghostly shadows, lurking in the twilight wind and snow.
"This is the mission location. It's located in a desolate area in the westernmost part of the entire Jiangnan region. Previous investigation teams that passed by here have all been attacked by mutant creatures."
Zhu Zheng's voice came from the communicator.
"Okay, then I wish you good luck. If you encounter any problems, feel free to contact the district."
Deng Shentong looked at the strategic map and the wasteland in front of him was marked in red, symbolizing the unknown and danger.
His mission this time is to erase the red color from the map.
Of course, in such a ghost place where no one can get help, it is very easy to eliminate an investigation team quietly.
The team members in silver combat uniforms got out of the car, took out tools and started to set up a temporary camp.
The wind was so cold that it was almost impossible to open their eyes, but they were well-trained and quickly set up tents and fences.
Deng Shentong observed the surrounding environment and felt a little uneasy.
Night fell quickly like a thick black curtain, and endless darkness covered the entire wasteland like a huge blanket.
The team members sat around a specially made windproof stove, the blazing flames dancing in the cold wind, reflecting their slightly tired but excited faces after running around.
They ate their dry food in silence, occasionally talking in low voices, as relaxed as if they were on a picnic.
Deng Shentong stood alone at the edge of the camp, far away from the crowd, like a lonely sculpture.
He stared quietly into the darkness in the distance, waiting for some important moment to arrive.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, bringing a faint sound.
The sound was like sand gently blown by the wind, or like a whisper coming from a distant place.
Deng Shentong immediately pricked up his ears alertly. Ipsilon's keen perception allowed him to realize that this strange breath was gradually approaching.
An ominous premonition arose in his heart, but his face remained calm.
&34;Something seems to be coming.&34;
Deng Shentong's eyes were always fixed on a certain point in the darkness, where an unknown danger seemed to be hidden.
Just then, a strong wind began to blow from the rugged hills in the distance in the darkness, and the whistling sound became louder and louder.
The strong wind blew up a cloud of snow, forming a gray-white whirlwind that swept towards the camp.
Deng Shentong's long silver hair was blown by the strong wind, and his figure looked even taller than a pine or bamboo in the wind.
&34;Captain, what happened?&34;
Deputy Captain Bai Chunyu quickly rushed to his side with a gun in hand, a hint of vigilance on his feminine face.
Deng Shentong closed his eyes and sensed the movement coming from afar.
A gentle supernatural power spread out in all directions like water waves.
The ground beneath my feet suddenly trembled slightly, as if thousands of troops were galloping in the darkness, and were getting closer and closer.
After a moment, Deng Shentong opened his eyes and sighed in relief, but his eyes showed some regret:
"Nothing, let them continue to rest."
The grayish-white whirlwind came like an overwhelming force, as if it was going to swallow up the small camp.
The team members also noticed something was wrong. They looked up at the sky hesitantly, and when they saw that their captain was not moving, they all sat back down.
It was getting closer! The whirlwind passed over the hills, and some dark shadows could be vaguely seen tumbling in it.
Suddenly, a group of dark shadows rushed out from the darkness. They were like ghosts and moved extremely fast!
As the distance quickly shortened, the aliens with good eyesight could already see clearly what those surging black shadows were.
There were countless pairs of dark green eyes, flashing with greedy light.
Mutated wolf pack!
Each one is as black as a cheetah, two or three times the size of a normal wild wolf, with hair standing up like steel needles and muscles knotted.
Perhaps it had been too long since they had seen any living creatures. They stared at the investigation team so close to them, greed and cruelty flashing in their eyes, sharp fangs revealed at the corners of their grinning mouths, and smelly saliva dripping onto the snow.
Accompanied by low and dangerous roars, these mutant creatures rushed towards the camp as if they had received orders!
At this critical moment, Deng Shentong's thick black eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
His pupils flashed with dazzling silver-white light, like the brightest stars in the night sky, exuding a heart-pounding aura.
Immediately afterwards, a bright light suddenly burst out between the originally dim sky and earth!
This light is like the dawn, dispelling the darkness and coldness and bringing hope and vitality.
Then, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in this endless pure white. Everything around disappeared without a trace, leaving only endless light.
Although the members of the Celestial Squad were equipped with advanced tactical eyepieces, they were unable to withstand the strong light.
However, their equipment responded quickly and automatically isolated them from the strong light to avoid damage to their eyes.
However, before they could adapt, the light gradually dimmed like the tide and eventually disappeared.
When they opened their eyes again, they were shocked by what they saw.
The desolate snowfield returned to darkness and silence, the cold wind was howling, and snowflakes were falling quietly, as if nothing had happened.
But in the open space in front of them, there were a group of mutant wild wolf corpses lying neatly, their bodies were cold, stiff and lifeless.
The team members were stunned and looked at Deng Shentong's calm figure with admiration.
Liao Honglei hurried over and patted Deng Shentong on the shoulder, unable to hide his excitement: "Captain, you have improved again! This move is really cool!"
Bai Chunyu also looked at her own young master with great satisfaction, standing aside with her arms folded and her eyes curved.
"They are just some Beta-level exotic beasts."
Deng Shentong tidied up his hair that was messed up by the strong wind.
Although he had just dealt with the invading enemy in a flash, his expression did not relax. Instead, he became even more alert, staring at the darkness in the distance.
He could vaguely feel that there was a more powerful opponent out there, ready to make a move.
Deng Shentong curled the corners of his mouth, and his fair and handsome face gleamed in the firelight of the camp.
When will you choose to take action?
