Chapter 478

The snow on the Western tundra is still melting, but the wilderness near asgat has ushered in spring. The snow faded away and turned into snow water to penetrate into the stratum, but it did not bring vitality to all things like the old times, but made the living environment more harsh. If the snow containing radiation is only stacked on the ground, as long as it does not go deep into the snow layer, it will not reach the ground in terms of the radiation resistance of wild organisms.

But it is another concept to accompany the penetration of snow and water into the ground.

That means that the radiation of the stratum will increase, and the water source after the snow water flows into the groundwater will not be edible in a short time. For some cave creatures, it is a disaster. Snow water with strong radiation enters their nest, even if they are reluctant to end hibernation. For the sake of his own life, he had to break the lichen and come to the cold ground.

Plants will suffer the most severe test, but after more than half a century of evolution. Most wild plants have developed defense systems against this phenomenon, including herbs, flowers and trees. Before winter, they will try to take root deeper enough to reach underground water sources. At that time, the groundwater was still edible, so these mutant plants would constantly extract water and store them in their bodies as much as possible.

When winter is almost over, they will stop all their activities. As a result, the plant skin will age quickly, and the fibers will tighten from a relatively loose network into a face shape. So from the outside, all the parts on the surface withered, while the outer skin of the underground roots became old and tough. Even wild gophers can't bite them, and when the snow melts and the highly radiated snow seeps into the ground, they can't enter the plant through the loose fiber pores, thus damaging its important internal tissues.

The water previously stored in the body will help the plants survive this most difficult period. When summer comes, the radiation in the ground water will precipitate or decrease. These altered plants will shed the old and dead parts and grow new buds.

Therefore, for plants, spring is fatal. Only in summer can they usher in new life.

This is the survival law of the wilderness. Both plants and mutants have to follow this law to survive. Plants can store clean water in advance, and a small number of creatures in mutants have the same function. Those without water storage organs can only live on the blood of other mutant animals, or break into human settlements to plunder clean water.

So from a certain point of view, spring is a busy season. Just different from the lively life of the old era, the spring of the new era is the most murderous time of the year.

Humans are smarter beings in the current life system of the earth. They can neither store clean water in their bodies in advance like mutant plants, nor attack their companions like mutant animals. After all, they are the first creatures on the planet to know how to make and use tools, even in humble settlements, even without advanced water purification equipment. However, there are always containers for storing water. People in inhabited areas will store as much potable purified water as possible before spring, so as to spend more harsh spring than cold winter.

This has also become the main reason for mutants to attack human settlements. Conflicts continue all year round, but spring is the worst.

Everything is just for survival, whether human or other creatures.

Kim is the same, but the threat to him is not radioactive water, but is chasing his former companions like a ghost.

Alice!

It has been almost a month since he left asgat and was attacked by pedfeni. During this month, Kim hid in the wilderness. At first, Alice didn't mean to kill him, and even helped him escape several attacks from pedfanny. Not long after, Petunia received a new task and left. Alice talked to Kim for several times and helped him take care of his injury.

But they didn't reach a consensus after all.

For Kim, bifford town was too much for him. He was born, grew up and lived in this small town. The people in the town are more or less related to Kim, especially old Peter. This man who is like both grandpa and father runs through Kim's life track. He is Kim's biggest obstacle. Kim can lose anyone, but he can't forgive the man who killed old Peter.

If that person were not Alice but someone else, Kim would have turned his face and started.

But it was Alice again.

For this woman who always flirts with herself from time to time, Kim has an unspeakable feeling. Closer than friends and a little distant from lovers. Alice is like an untouchable lover. Even if they get closer in real life, Kim knows they can't be together.

Because Alice is the forbidden land of the man, and Alice often puts her brotherhood for the premature death on Kim rather than the feelings between men and women. Kim knows this very well, so he knows he likes this old woman, but he won't take the initiative to admit it, even once.

In the first half of the month's negotiations, Alice hoped that Kim could stay away from this chaotic land. Go to the coastal settlement and find a city to stay. With Jin's ability, you can get a good job. There is the territory of the dark Council, and Kim will not be easily assassinated and attacked by the adult.

But Kim didn't compromise. He asked Alice to leave and leave the matter between him and the man. He can't take action against Alice. After all, Alice was only carrying out orders at that time. But Kim would never let go of the man who gave him hope but gave him despair!

So, without reconciliation, the negotiations broke down. Alice began to get cold and gave Kim five days to run for her life. After five days, she started chasing Kim. In fact, Kim had expected such a result. The contradiction between the two was Alice's feelings and loyalty to the man.

Once she could not persuade herself to leave, Alice would become ruthless to erase any possible threat for that person.

At this time, Alice is the real frost queen.

The five days left for Kim is not only the last friendship Alice expressed to Kim, but also the time for Kim to make a choice. There is no doubt that Kim did not change his choice. So five days later, Alice and Kim fought a fierce battle in the wilderness far from asgat.

After nearly a day of fighting, Kim seized a hard won opportunity and ran away. And in that battle, Alice still did her best. But next, Alice became more and more cold and shot harder and harder. Kim fought and fled, and had less and less time to breathe. Alice is like a ghost, which may appear at any time, which makes Kim's situation more difficult.

The shadow of death is everywhere. Kim is not surprised if he will die the next second.

But the figure of old Peter passed in his mind from time to time, which became the last driving force for Kim to stick to it.

It has been 13 hours since the last attack, and Alice's attack frequency is getting higher and higher. Even if Kim had exhausted his means, he could not get rid of the frost queen behind him. On one occasion, Kim even led Alice into a medium-sized base. But half an hour later, the base became history forever. Kim got only 35 hours of rest.

In this chase game, time becomes the key.

Alice seemed to be able to bite Kim like she didn't eat or drink. Kim didn't have time to rest, eat and heal. His physical strength and energy fell again and again, and he was close to the limit. Just as at the moment, Kim felt very light, double shadows began to appear in his sight, and his feeling became dull. All this is because of the physical decline. He smiles bitterly and doesn't know whether he can survive the next attack.

As he stumbled out of a low, dry forest, Kim saw a ground base. It should have been rebuilt from the old military base, which still retains the ground command building, garage and even an aircraft runway. The whole base is surrounded by barbed wire, and a sentry tower is set every 100 meters. There are soldiers on duty on the sentry tower. It doesn't look simple.

At the entrance of the base is a steel gate with pulleys, on which two self-propelled guns are used as defense forces. These two guns alone are the most powerful firepower Kim has seen in wandering the wilderness in recent months, not to mention the more than 200 soldiers who are training in the sentry tower and base.

But more importantly, there is a sign hanging at the entrance of the base, which clearly reads "zero technology company", and below it is a warning message of "private important land, no admittance".

Kim smiled bitterly and ran around himself, but he returned to asgat. He knew who the zero point company belonged to, so Jin staggered to the gate of the base.

Five hundred meters from the gate, Kim suddenly stopped. Then the soldiers shouted, "stop, this is not where you can come. Refugees, get back!"

Refugees?

Kim wiped his face, his fingertips covered with blood. Looking at his body, he wore a cloak that he had forgotten where he had brought it. It was really no different from the refugees in the wilderness. No wonder the soldiers would call it that.

The soldiers of zero point company have been called kind. Even when they visit other bases, Kim will find that bullets and fire flow head-on without a warning. But the soldier's delivery failed to make Kim give in. He shouted, "open the door and I want to see your supervisor. I know who your boss is! Zero, i... I'm his friend."

After a moment of silence, the soldier's laughter came from the sentry Tower: "well, don't make trouble. If we weren't allowed to kill people, we wouldn't hear such a joke now. For God's sake, get out, or break your legs and throw them into the wilderness to feed the wolf!"

What should I do? Break through? Kim thought, his eyes swam back and forth on the two self-propelled guns above the gate, looking for the dead angle of the gun, and cut into the safety zone in a good moment. At this time, the roar of the off-road vehicle engine sounded behind the golden body.

Kim turned around and saw an arrogant modified vehicle coming from the wilderness. The whole car was sprayed black, with red and bright yellow paint spraying a pattern of flame at the bottom of the car. The front of the car is equipped with a baffle full of steel vertebrae, and even the four wheels are welded with prismatic spikes. When the wheels were spinning, the mud and stones on the ground were rolled up from time to time. As soon as they were crushed by the crazy spins, there was a puffy spark.

When he saw the car, the guard's face changed: "no, it's the supervisor's car. Hey, if you don't go, I'll shoot!"

The soldier quickly picked up his gun and aimed at Kim's body.

Should be a tough person.

Jin Xin thought, otherwise the soldiers wouldn't have such a big reaction.

The car came to the front door in a flash, and a tall and frivolous woman jumped off the car. The flamboyant short hair was dyed fire red and fluttered in the air like a flame when it was blown by the wind. The woman looked at Jin, her face sank, and then yelled at the gate, "are you all blind? Let a high-ranking person touch the door. Did I use the self-propelled gun as a decoration for you? Don't you blow this guy to death for me!"

The soldiers on the sentry tower were startled, followed by a sound of personnel running. With the sound of shell loading, two self-propelled guns on the gate began to adjust the firing angle. Kim smiled bitterly, raised his hand and said, "don't be nervous. If I were the enemy, I would have started long ago. Would I wait for you to raise your guns?"

The woman then made a "pause" gesture towards the door, followed by looking up and down at Jin and said, "then tell me your intention, stranger."

"News. I have a big news for you. I'm sure zero will be interested."

"Oh, what do you need?"

"Protection, at least 48 hours," Kim said with difficulty. From the beginning of his memory, he never remembered when he showed weakness. But this time, he was cornered by Alice. If no third-party forces are willing to give him shelter, he will not have time to rest and heal.

The woman nodded her head and said, "no wonder I said you were full of injuries. Besides, there were several obscure injuries. It seems that you were chased and killed by a powerful guy."

"Why, don't you dare to take this business?" Jin asked with a smile.

The woman said coldly, "don't use this childish means to me. There's nothing to dare, only worth it or not."

She shouted to the soldiers on the gate, "open the door!"

After receiving her order, the soldiers opened the door. Kim was relieved to watch the heavy steel gate slide away from both sides. The woman then said, "I hope your news is worth it, or you will find that I can be more cruel than the pursuer."

"Don't worry, I won't make fun of my life." Jin said again, "then, please consult?"

The woman raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "my name is Eva. Get in the car."

Then she jumped into the car and waved to Jin. As Kim climbed onto the arrogant car, his eyes were immediately attracted by a huge dark sword tilted on the back seat. Those who like to use such a heavy sword as a weapon are either really strong or swaggering swindlers.

Kim believes this woman is the former because she has a smell that makes her feel uncomfortable.
