Chapter 654 The Nightmare: Li Na
Zangxi Noah City was perhaps the most harmonious pure land in this apocalyptic world. Zangxi, with an area of about 1.2 million square kilometers and an average height of more than 4,000 meters, is the main part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the "roof of the world" before the apocalypse.
Zangxi is the place with the strongest solar radiation in China. Today's Noah City has a total annual solar radiation of 195 kcal/sq cm, 2.1 times that of Chengdu and 1.7 times that of Shanghai at the same latitude. Noah City had 3005 hours of sunshine a year, so it was also known as Daylight City before the apocalypse.
Daylight City, Noah City in June, is cool and pleasant, with blue clouds floating in the sky. If you don't consider its somewhat dry and thin climate, this place is definitely one of the most suitable places for humans to live.
In the city west of Noah City, Guo Xiaomei and Ba Tian's home was located here.
They had returned to Zangxi in the fifteenth year of the apocalypse, and had lived in this place for almost nine years now.
At this moment, Ba Tian was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV while gnawing on his leg of lamb.
On the sofa opposite him, Guo Xiaomei was knitting sweaters for her 16-year-old daughter.
The two of them looked to be in their twenties and hadn't aged.
"Where's that little brat Shi Dali? I came back from Heavenly Prison City with his mother to attend the memorial ceremony for her joining the Academy of Heroes. She's lucky that she can't stay home day after day! Is she my own?"
Guo Xiaomei glanced coldly at Shi Ba Tian with her beautiful eyes and coldly snorted,
'"It's probably not your biological daughter! Aren't you surnamed Ba? My daughter's surname is Shi! Besides, I've never heard of anyone calling her Dali!" Hmph, I was angry when I thought about it. I should have stopped you back then! "
Ba Tian was unhappy. He took a bite of the lamb leg and said to Guo Xiaomei, "Daughter-in-law, our ancestor's surname is Shi! It was only at that time that I changed my ID card, so my child naturally had to follow the ancestor's surname! Also, you agreed to the name Dali at the beginning? Why did you come to settle the score when you were fine?"
"Ah, it was not long before the wedding. It was so close that I was knocked unconscious by your sugar-coated cannonball!"
Ba Tian laughed loudly and said, "Hehe, isn't that because we have the ability?"
At this moment, the door to the room was opened from the outside. Similarly, Jin Gang, Liu Wenli, and Wu Zhen, who hadn't aged, walked in.
Ba Tian shouted when he saw Jin Gang.
"Fatty Jin! Why did you directly enter my house without knocking?"
Jin Gang ignored Ba Tian and sat down on the sofa. He took out a piece of mutton from the big bowl of the coffee table and chewed it. Then he smiled and said to Guo Xiaomei, "I told you, I smelled bacon in the next room at night, so our family came over to eat and drink."
Wu Zhen and Liu Wenli also sat beside Guo Xiaomei.
Liu Wenli smiled and said, "Jin Bao and Jin Dou are probably going out with your family. The three of us are bored at home, so we came to visit."
Wu Zhen said, "Yes! After staying in Heavenly Prison City for a year, I finally came back with a few days off. I actually have nothing to do at home."
Guo Xiaomei put down the sweater she was knitting and smiled at Liu Wenli and Wu Zhen. "Ah, the key is that the situation is not good right now. It's hard for us to calm down!"
After that, she coldly snorted at Ba Tian and said in a threatening tone, "Be polite to him, Jin Gang! You've been together for so many years, and now you're a neighbor and a brother fighting in the same trench. Why are you still so fierce when you meet him? Do you envy him for marrying two wives? Why don't I find you a little one too?"
Ba Tian glared at Guo Xiaomei angrily for a while before finally saying softly, "The marriage law of Zangxi doesn't say that a man must marry only one woman! Why are you still as feudal as before the apocalypse?"
Guo Xiaomei's tone became even colder, and then she said, "Zangxi's marriage law doesn't stipulate that a woman can only have a husband. If you want to play trendy, I don't mind going to plastic surgery, and then looking for a few men. Although I, Guo Xiaomei, have an ugly face, I think my figure is pretty good!"
As she spoke, Guo Xiaomei straightened her chest forcefully. Ba Tian immediately wilted and whispered, "I didn't say I was going to find another wife... You, don't get excited."
Jin Gang laughed loudly and took out two bottles of liquor from his pocket. He handed Ba Tian a bottle and said, "That's right, Little Mei is right! Do you think I'm afraid of you when you see me? Come, let's see who can take down who today!"
Ba Tian helplessly took Jin Gang's wine. Since he was unable to suppress Guo Xiaomei as usual, he could only think of killing Jin Gang on the wine table to vent his emotions.
When the men began to drink, the women naturally began to talk about their daily routine.
Twenty-two years ago, these five people were separated from Qin An and the others. They were trapped on an isolated island in the sea more than twenty kilometers away from Lushun Port, and they were trapped for ten whole years once they were trapped.
Ten years later, when they finally had a chance to leave, Jin Gang and Wu Zhen, Liu Wenli, Ba Tian and Guo Xiaomei were already married, and all three women had children.
Ba Tian's daughter is called Shi Dali, and Jin Gang's two sons are called Jin Bao and Golden Bean.
After leaving the island, they also went to Qin City. Afterwards, because Wu Zhen's father and Guo Xiaomei's parents were both in Tibet, they moved to Noah City and lived here for nine years.
Guo Xiaomei did not return to Hero Academy. Instead, she joined the night watchmen of Heavenly Prison City. Her husband Ba Tian and Jin Gang had been guarding Heavenly Prison City the entire time. Could it be that she had a chance to return to her home in Western Tibet?
After half an hour of talking about their children, Jin Gang and Ba Tian had finished drinking a bottle of liquor each.
Ba Tian went straight to the bedroom and took out two more bottles of liquor, vowing to distinguish himself from Jin Gang.
After a while, Ba Tian started crying.
"Old Jin! Fatty Jin! Big brother, I'm telling you, I'm guilty! I lost my only biological sister! Shi Jing... my powerful aunt, I don't know if I'm alive or dead now, I'm guilty!"
At this moment, Jin Gang's eyes were also bloodshot, tears rolling around his eyes.
"Ba Tian! You're not my big brother! My big brother's name is Qin An, and he's also your boss! Hey, how many years has it been? Twenty years? No! Twenty-two years! I don't know where he is now! We went to Qin City back then, but we didn't see him! I really want to find him, but now I'm leading the family, where are we going?"
Ba Tian cried, "Yeah! Bring the family along, we men are all delayed by the girls! Come on, drink!"
Jin Gang stepped forward to hug Ba Tian's neck and shouted, "Big Brother Drinks! Everything is in the wine!"
The three women on the opposite sofa exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disdain for their drunk husbands.
Guo Xiaomei said, "Hmph! It seems like it's our fault that we can't find Qin An and Shi Jing. We've already entrusted a lot of relationships to look for them in the past few years, but can we be blamed for not having heard from them?"
Wu Zhen said, "Of course we can't be blamed. Sigh, I received a letter from my sister Lan Yue a few days ago. There was nothing else in the letter. She still scolded Boss Qin. She hated him too much because of love."
Wu Wenli said, "I also received a letter from my sister, Liu Wenjuan. She said that there are many men who want to beat Lan Yue up, and Lan Yue seems to have the intention to take revenge on Qin An. She always said that she is a widow and wants to remarry. In fact, she only said that if she really forgot Qin An, she would have already had a new man!"
When the three women talked about right and wrong, they chattered, and I kept on talking until a beautiful woman's voice came from the TV. They stopped their heated discussion and focused their attention on the TV.
"Hello, dear spectator friends!
You are watching the apocalypse TV station in Zangxi, the 24-hour live broadcast of the Heavenly Prison City Channel!
Everyone knew that Heavenly Prison City was actually not a city. It was a huge city wall that was twenty meters wide, five hundred meters high horizontally, and winding across a total of 1,100 kilometers! It was a human miracle that the army and people of Zangxi had built over twenty years after the apocalypse! It was a strong fortress to defend against foreign zombies along the southwestern coast of Zangxi!
Before the apocalypse, the famous American TV series Song of Ice and Fire had a story about the Night Watch Legion!
In the story, the Nightwatcher Legion is the garrison army on the Great Wall of the Northern Region. They exist to block the barbarians and legendary creatures to the north of the Great Wall.
The vow of the night watchman is--
'Night is coming, I will watch from now on, until death rest. I will not take a wife, nor a fief, nor have children. I will not wear a crown, I will not compete for honor and pet. I will do my duty and die here. I am a sharp sword in the darkness, a guard on the Great Wall, resisting the cold flames, the dawn light, awakening the horn of the Sleeper, and protecting the kingdom's shield. I offer my life and glory to the night watchman, tonight, night and night. '
That's why our warriors guarding Heavenly Prison City got their names!
Once they stepped onto the walls of Heavenly Prison City, regardless of gender or age, everyone would become the warriors of the Nightwatchman Legion! There is only one mission, and that is to defend our homeland to the death and never allow any mutated monsters to step into our territory.
Therefore, I am now the night watchman Li Na!
Between seven and twelve o'clock tonight, I will be with you along with five hundred thousand night watchmen! "
Guo Xiaomei, Wu Zhen, and Liu Wenli frowned slightly as they looked at the beautiful girl on the screen.
Li Na was brought back to Zangxi by Qin Xiaoyan back then. Although they didn't see each other often, they knew each other because they had a common friend, Qin An.
"Ah, Li Na is not a capable person. It's really hard to be in Heavenly Prison City." Liu Wenli sighed.
'"The Night Watch Corps only has a small portion of their abilities. It's nothing much. The key is that it's not as stable as it was a few years ago. The Zombie Corps is approaching. The 100,000 Night Watch Corps has already left the city wall and is on a mission to split up the zombies. Perhaps in less than a month or two, the real flood will arrive!" Wu Zhen's expression was grave.
Guo Xiaomei said, "Alright! Don't think too much! Even though the crisis is approaching, aren't those people in the city still living a life of drunkenness and dreams every day? We just need to be ourselves. After the three little fellows officially enter the Hero Academy, we should return to the Nightwatchman Legion! Let's enjoy the peace of these few days!"
The other two women nodded and stopped talking. Instead, they began to watch TV programs seriously, wanting to know the latest situation on the walls of Heavenly Prison City.
...
Above the walls of Heavenly Prison City, Li Na, who looked the size of an 18-year-old girl, was wearing a green charge suit. She was currently hiding behind the camera and drinking water to rest. The cameraman carried a camera to photograph the night watchman soldiers on the city wall.
Leaning on the crane, Li Na drank some water and looked at the darkness outside the city in a daze.
"If you jump down from here, you will die, right?
Then would there be another person who could travel into this space-time? "It's like... it's like me from three years ago?"
Li Na had always had such doubts and confusion for a long time.
She knew that she was very different, different from everyone around her!
The woman named Qin Xiaoyan told her that she had died three times since she came to Zangxi in the third year of the apocalypse! Then, three new Li Na came to this world from the past.
This may sound unbelievable, but Li Na believes it.
Qin Xiaoyan gave her three small wooden boxes of diaries, which contained all the records of the three Li Na's past days...
This kind of experience made Li Na feel very lonely from time to time. That kind of loneliness was indescribable, but it could not be removed.
She was like a scavenger wandering in space and time. She could not escape this apocalypse, but this world was so unreal to her!
Perhaps, only by seeing Qin An could she understand more things? Can she really see herself clearly?
However, where was this fellow who had countless connections with his bizarre events?
Idiot Qin...
Li Na could no longer imagine what this man should look like, but when she thought of those three words, she still felt a little hot on her face.
This was all because in the previous three Li Na's diaries, the person that was mentioned the most was such a name …!
Did all the things recorded in the diary really happen?
Li Na had the same questions as the previous three Li Na transmigrations, and she would also write these feelings in her diary.
If she died as well, and if Li Na really came back from the past, what would her mood be like when she saw these diaries?
...
Suddenly, a section of the city wall two kilometers ahead became chaotic. The shouts of the night watchman could even be faintly heard from such a distance, and beacons and signal flares had also appeared over there.
The cup in Li Na's hand accidentally fell onto many holes in the city wall and finally fell into the darkness outside the city.
She quickly tidied up her appearance professionally, then stood back in front of the camera and said to the camera,
"Dear spectator friends!
At this moment, I am still in the sixth section of Heavenly Prison City's defensive zone. There is chaos about two kilometers ahead. I wonder if there are any dangerous creatures approaching our city walls.
Please follow our cameras to take a look at the scene. "
As he spoke, the radio car had already stopped beside Li Na. Li Na and the cameraman quickly drilled into the car, and the car quickly started to arrive at the scene of the accident.
When they left the car, they discovered that there were already over a thousand night watchmen gathered on a section of the city wall in front of them. They all shouted and ran back and forth.
"Hurry up, hurry up. Is the laser gunner in place? Quickly find your positions!"
"The low-fire cannons have been loaded. They can attack at any time!"
"Battalion Commander! The situation below is unknown, only the giant six-colored crystal mark can be seen! The mutant's size is estimated to be very large, do you need to turn on the guiding light under the city wall?"
"Report! The trap mechanism under the city wall has been inspected, ready to use!
'"Call the headquarters of the sixth section of the city wall. This is Area B! This is Area B! Send the Demon God Mecha warriors and Ability Cultivators to support us! We've found an abnormal mutation below the city. There's a six-colored crystal stone mark! I repeat, it's a six-colored crystal stone mark, not a five-colored one! This is most likely a level six mutated creature that has never appeared before!"
...
Li Na held the microphone for the interview and listened to the conversation between the night watchmen. She was already dumbfounded.
Level 6 mutated creature?
How is this possible?
After many years of research, the Zangxi government has determined that the mutation level of apocalyptic creatures should only reach rank five.
Although some speculations suggested that a higher level of mutated zombies had probably evolved in the heart of the zombie territory, this was only an inference, and no one had any arguments to prove it. After all, in more than twenty years, people had never seen an apocalyptic creature that had mutated five times before.
In that case, if there really was a sixth grade mutant under the city wall, it would be simply too terrifying!
Thinking of this, Li Na quickly ran to the city wall with the photographer. Then, she held the cage and looked down. The photographer also aimed the camera below.
"Heavens! It really is the Six-Colored Crystal Mark!"
Li Na cried out to the microphone. In the darkness beneath the city wall, there were six gigantic glowing bodies that were a hundred meters long and four to five meters wide, wriggling back and forth!
They were connected at one end and emitted in six directions, like six supports for a fan.
These six scaffolds emitted red, yellow, blue, green, purple, and orange colors.
"Turn on the ground lights! All units, prepare for attack!"
A night watchman commander gave the order through a loudspeaker.
In the next moment, more than a dozen LED lights embedded in the ground below the 500-meter city wall lit up at the same time. The night watchmen on the city wall held their breaths and didn't dare to make any noise!
A terrifying Six-Colored Crystal Stone mutated beast suddenly appeared in everyone's line of sight just like that...
