Chapter 636 Sky Crack Shadow

After natural disasters, the original social order became invalid.

Prior to this, the supply of most resources relied on the borderless market under the capital system, allowing people to adopt an isolated posture in the modern city without attachment or the establishment of small groups.

On the one hand, this reduces the need for people to socialize, and on the other hand, it also makes individuals feel particularly helpless in the face of a huge society.

Things have changed dramatically since the onset of harsh winter, as citizens try to reestablish social ties with their neighbors.

Some use streets, apartments and communities as units to exchange contact information and discuss ways out, and some choose to establish associations based on occupations or identities, such as whaling station associations, youth associations, teacher associations, programmer groups, survivor mutual aid associations, Street gangs...all built up quickly over the course of a few months.

They unanimously choose to build and join small communities, because only in this way can they improve their ability to resist risks, exchange materials and information under the circumstances of insufficient transportation capacity and commodity shortage, and make up for the inadequacy of individual strength.

Due to its location on the border, the citizens have only heard of the "Nisto Community" model on the Big Island, but have not followed it.

Now, the Nisto community on the main island has already formed its own system to overcome difficulties together. The residents of Yibei City are only now hastily following a similar model. There are many shortcomings. Now they also understand the foresight of the Nisto company.

But there are still a large number of lonely people who live on virtual games and online entertainment, and never leave the house. Without Internet service at this time, they are bored, but they have no place to go and nothing to do.

Useless and homeless.

Many people simply opened the door and plunged into the heavy snow. In just one minute, they would be forgotten by the whole world.

The network service has not yet been repaired, and communication with each other can only rely on radio stations. Some of them are old stocks in electrical stores, and more are electronic enthusiasts. They provide real-time information to the citizens of Yibei in the snow and ice.

"The wave of monster attacks is approaching from the north, east, and southeast!"

"Don't go out of town! Don't go out of town!"

"Frost Giants Sighted on Route 45!"

"Super-large creatures fly across the sky!" Terrible news kept coming, making people shiver.

They were barely able to hold out in the extreme cold, but monsters attacking the city was another story.

Hearing these horrifying news, under the cover of working robots, many citizens put on the warmest clothes and left the apartment.

What I saw was desperate. The streets were covered with snow, which completely covered the traffic signs on the road. No vehicle could travel under such conditions, and the citizens' home shuttles could not take off in the blizzard.

The mountains surrounding Yibei City were shrouded in frosty mist, and gray clouds covered the sky.

They looked around, flashlights in hand, and could only see the dim light in the hands of another group across the street. Otherwise, all sounds were lost in the strong wind, and all objects were blurred in the blizzard.

In extreme heat, people want to move, and in extreme cold, they just want to retreat into the building they are hiding in.

Many people gathered together just to confirm that they were still living in a human society. All the stoves were turned on 24 hours a day. They kept touching the heating pipes and thanked that the Nisto Daheat Tower in the center of Yibei City was still working.

Supplies are still scarce. Batteries, fuel, guns and ammunition are all the targets of everyone trying to hoard. Each group is beggar-thy-neighbor. If the situation is critical, they can only attack each other to compete for survival resources.

"Wow..."

"It's freezing..."

"Eat less and less."

"I have to think of a way..."

"There are more than 300 people living in the small apartment next door...their stuff is enough for us for a long time."

At this moment, a group of young and middle-aged men are sitting indoors smoking and stamping non-stop, sorting out their guns and knives, preparing for a vote, transforming people to move their own armored prosthetic limbs, and reviewing the battle files.

They were originally gangsters who became obsessed with games due to the popularity of online games.

In particular, the new game "Bliss Paraiso" under the "Leaf-Xisheng Company" has raised their great fantasy to a new level, and many younger players have switched to playing this new game.

But the boss is still playing the online game "Dimensional Eternal Life", keen to drive the younger brothers to expand the territory for him in the game world.

As the network center was damaged and the communication service went offline, the boss also left the virtual warehouse, and by the way, picked out those younger brothers who were enjoying life in the new game to accompany him in the real world.

These gangsters were scarce even clothes to keep out the cold, so they were quite embarrassed at this time, and had no other choice but to grab a few.

They pulled on a few old electric flying skateboards, which were light and portable, and if they were used properly, they could send them all across the window and wreak havoc on the tenants inside.

"Let's do it."

"It's been so long, I can't take it anymore."

"We are also forced to..."

The bullet is loaded.

——At this moment, the whole city resounded with an insignificant hum.

The boss of the gang looked down, and there was a new information push on the phone.

Due to the long-term disconnection, there are as many as a hundred push messages accumulated, and a large number of new messages appear in the mailbox, as well as messages that have not been processed before, all of which can be seen at a glance.

"Wow!"

"The new version 20.0 is online!"

"Receive the reward!"

"Resources are exhausted!"

"The enemy group is coming!"

"Boys, let's go, let's go—" the boss yelled, and led everyone back to play games, and people scattered.

Only one member of the gang was thrown outside, responsible for purchasing the nutrient solution for the virtual warehouse for the bosses.

"It's not bad... Who on earth has the ability to fix the Internet?" He muttered.

He put on his thick clothes, armed himself with hat, mask, gloves and layers of clothing, then carried a box of ammunition for the trade on his back and walked out into the frosty street.

He stared dumbfounded at everything in front of him.

Dense drones ascended to the sky, and with the restoration of network communication services, the suspended transportation, logistics, defense and other modules of the entire city are being reborn!

As if waking up from slumber and suffering, one after another giant robots took to the streets. Although they are old and cumbersome, as long as there is a unified schedule, they can seriously complete the work and clear the snow.

Many more automatic shuttles passed by, repeatedly broadcasting the nearest shelters, warehouses, and material supply channels to the surrounding citizens.

Without strong network data and communication coverage, it would be impossible to complete such efficient coordination work, let alone make the tens of thousands of old-fashioned robots in stock operate normally.

"I can go online—"

"It's finally fixed!"

"Great!" The cheers and joy of the citizens were blazing.

It is not difficult to repair the network, at most, it only needs a remote connection with the engineers at the Nisto headquarters. However, the team that tried to repair the network center before did not return, which shows that it is extremely dangerous.

Now that someone has finally overcome the danger and repaired the site, whoever restored the network communication service deserves all their praise.

The return of the Internet has given them an extra chance of survival. Now they are no longer isolated groups of desperate groups, but they can contact the information they need in the first place through the Internet, and they can seek help from Nisto Corporation.

"It's finally fixed!"

"The Sea of ​​Hillis system is operating normally!"

"All aviation stations are starting to restart service and we're going to town!"

"We've finally heard from the city!"

"Go down!"

The wandering Nisto company troops and transport crews were finally able to approach Yibei City, and every crew member was overjoyed.

Without a stable communication link, if they rush to find a platform to land, they will only encounter countless troubles. The ground dispatch must count the status of each landing field and arrange the landing sequence of different crews.

They brought a plethora of cheap goods to trade and could save the poorest citizens from cannibalism just by entering the city. It's just been troubled by the lack of information and the inability to enter the city smoothly. Now those available air stations have sent dispatch guidance, and even the most cumbersome heavy transport aircraft can find a suitable landing runway.

"Get into town!"

"The monster is coming!"

"Get in in time! Build a line of defense! Attention all units!"

The military forces built temporary bunkers in the outskirts of the city, preparing to stop the super-large-scale frost giants.

Pan Ruiyi was flying on patrol at high altitude. She glanced at the setting sun that was about to disappear. Although the sun was not warm in this weather, there was almost no hope without sunshine. She didn't want to be left alone in the cold wind.

"Captain!" Zhang Yunxi, as Pan Ruiyi's adjutant, tried her best to drive her steel wings to Pan Ruiyi's height.

There are about 12 other fighting witches below, and they can only look up to Pan Ruiyi.

"Is that guy the major threat you're talking about?" Pan Ruiyi pointed to the distance.

"...Yes!" Zhang Yunxi reported loudly.

They all looked towards the north, and a huge flying monster was gradually approaching wrapped in frosty mist. It was about to tear up the entire Yibei City and turn the island into a stronghold for creating frost monsters.

"Fighting above the city will affect civilians, let's move forward!" Pan Ruiyi raised his star-chaser spear and flew towards the target.

"Walk!"

"Stop it!"

Four "Samurai" class fighters cleared the way for the witches to fight and provided electronic information detection, but the fighters disappeared without a trace as soon as they fell into the vast frosty mist ahead, and then fell rapidly due to icy wings and engine shutdown .

"It's too fast!"

"What is that?" The fighter pilots desperately regained their balance and quickly opened up the distance.

At the moment when they broke into the freezing fog just now, not only the machine froze, but also the inside of the cockpit was extremely cold, which almost made them lose their sanity.

One of the fighter jets crashed vertically into the ground and disappeared into the snow.

"The range is too wide! At least a severe cold abnormal area with a radius of 10 kilometers!" Zhang Yunxi quickly scouted.

"I saw it—" Pan Ruiyi frowned, her vision was very sharp, better than some electronic instruments, her heart was pounding, and if she expected it, it was a whole dead body with a wingspan of more than 60 meters The dragon is flying here.

Just looking at the shocking appearance, Pan Ruiyi felt nervous. She reported the coordinates and hoped that some missiles could hit it through the cold fog.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the 3 surviving fighter jets launch anti-air missiles towards the target area. They dragged their tail flame waves and advanced at high speed, but in that extremely cold field, even the fuel of the missiles would be suddenly cooled and extinguished, and the engines would stop working, turning into The harmless iron shell fell down.

Pan Ruiyi's hand holding the spear was numb. In order to defeat powerful enemies and protect the city, she rushed forward into the freezing fog.

Lord Faroza, please grant me some favors! Pan Ruiyi prayed secretly, drove her wings, and plunged into the endless frost of the skeletal dragon. The city was in danger, and now only she could win.

As long as she recites Lord Faroza's protection silently, Pan Ruiyi will be invincible. This is the grace bestowed by Lord Faroza to the chief knight.

Most honorable Lord Faroza...protect me...from the cold. Pan Ruiyi read silently.

Lord Faroza...give me protection...

Please... as long as I can fly there... a little favor... a little power... help me get through the bitter frost...

Lord Faroza...

As she flew forward, she felt that her body was extraordinarily heavy, as if a whole mountain had been filled in her armor. For a long time, she felt that she was not actually moving forward.

In a flash, she suddenly saw the mask filled with white mist, and the ice crystals almost reflected her own face, and she couldn't think.

It's so cold.
