Chapter 12 The Secret of the Blue Light Power Station
Chapter 12 The Secret of the Blue Light Power Station
A piercing scream echoed all around, and arcing light enveloped the Blue Light Power Station, where a tall figure slowly crawled.
At the same time, the silvery-white larvae blocked Fu Xi's path, and he couldn't care less about anything else in order to survive.
Hesitation now could lead to unforeseen changes, so Fu Xi turned and followed the man in black away.
"This way!" The man in black walked ahead, holding a hunting rifle, with Fu Xi following closely behind.
The two fled at top speed through the power lines and arrived at a hidden basement around the corner.
"We've arrived. This place is very well hidden; they usually can't find it!" As soon as the door opened, a warm, yellow light came into view.
Under the campfire, four people sat together. Three of them had bandages wrapped around their arms, clearly indicating that they were seriously injured, but they never put down their guns!
"Who goes there?" The man in red, with his pointed face and menacing appearance, finally lowered his gun when he saw someone he knew.
"Su Qiang, he's one of us!" The man in black took off his clothes, revealing an old and frail appearance; it was obvious that he was the boss here!
"Hello, my name is Hu Hua, and these are my teammates!" Hu Hua introduced each person, as if Fu Xi was very important to him!
"Han Xiu! She's also my wife!" The woman, who was about forty-five years old, relaxed her weathered brows upon seeing Fu Xi.
"I just introduced this Su Qiang to you. As for the other two, they're called Tu Po and Pao Duo!"
Paochou stood up to greet her with a smile, picked up a loaf of bread, and walked towards Fuxi, his fat face jiggling with each step.
"Thank you!" Fu Xi was flattered and put the bread away, but showed no intention of eating it.
He even abandoned the food he scavenged at the power station in the big hole!
The ground under the campfire was littered with leftover bread bags, and there wasn't much food left, so it was clear they had been there for a long time!
Food is a scarce resource everywhere, yet they're being generous to me now. It's obvious they're like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—they have ulterior motives!
"Tupo, aren't you going to say something?" Paoduo tugged at him, but the other man pulled his arm back and gave Fuxi a cold glance.
With a reluctant shout, it was clear he wasn't someone to be trifled with: "Tu Po!"
"Don't mind him, that's just how Tu Po is, he's cold to everyone!" Hu Hua said with a smile, trying to smooth things over.
"It's alright!" Fu Xi was ready to fire at any moment. He dared not be careless, as it was not something that could be seen with the eyes alone.
"Brother, come and sit down. You also entered this place by chance, right?" The campfire accentuated Hu Hua's approachable smile.
"Yes, are you guys too?" Screams continued outside. Fu Xi knew she couldn't leave anytime soon, so she might as well make up some nonsense.
"To be honest, we're not afraid of you laughing at us, but we've been here for almost half a month and we're almost out of food!" Hu Hua's eyes were full of vicissitudes.
"Then why don't you leave?" Fu Xi asked knowingly, unwilling to reveal anything.
Letting the other person say it themselves can be a great way to test their reliability.
"It's not that we don't want to leave, but I'm sure you've noticed that something's wrong here." Tiger Hua's veins bulged on his hands.
But that's not the scariest part. There's also a bizarre creature here, tens of meters long—the White Crimson.
"Bai Chi?" Fu Xi feigned ignorance, trying to elicit information. "Are there any specific characteristics? Why haven't I seen him?"
Seeing this, Hu Hua's smile widened, and Han Xiu's uneasy heart seemed to be reassured.
"Hey bro, this is great news! If you'd run into this, you wouldn't be coming back alive!" Hu Hua chuckled, patting his shoulder. "You don't have any superpowers, do you?"
"I was unlucky, please forgive me, brother!" Fu Xi liked this kind of "playing dumb to fool others" behavior.
The other party also clearly did not believe that Fuxi had any special abilities, because Fuxi had initially approached the larvae at a dangerous distance.
When a normal person is frightened, they will definitely throw whatever they can get their hands on!
"It's alright, we can definitely get out of here if we join forces!"
"By the way, what's the deal with that Bai Chi?" Fu Xi continued her tactic.
"You can't see it during the day. I don't know its name. I only know that it survives by absorbing electricity." The campfire flickered, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.
"That thing is located at the very top of the power station."
"Initially, it wasn't this powerful, but as it absorbed more and more electrical energy, its strength long since reached an unassailable level!"
The longer it drags on, the stronger Bai Chi will become!
"We had organized a raid before this, but not only did we fail, we were also targeted by them."
"We've also been targeted by them; the power station is covered in white larvae." A hint of helplessness was evident in Hu Hua's eyes.
"We're monitored the moment we step into the power station area. Others have tried before, but the results..."
The blood at the power station entrance was left by his brothers; there were dozens of them, but now only a handful remain!
"We've been targeted. How are we going to get out?" Fu Xi was stunned. He now wondered if he was being watched.
"Don't worry, brother. After so many days of lying in wait, we've discovered that thing's killing pattern!"
Fu Xi immediately recalled the murder patterns of the Black Tide as revealed in the Doomsday Radio.
This mother insect may have come from the Kuroshio, but why is it so far away from the Kuroshio?
"That means they have a strong sense of territory and slow movement speed!"
Territoriality?
Is it very slow?
Fu Xi immediately thought of the third piece of advice from the Doomsday Radio: find the patterns in murder!
This is also why we haven't encountered any other monsters for so long.
"That thing's power can only cover the iron net. As long as we move in both directions, and one side leaves the iron net, it can't do anything to us."
Multiple eyes turned to Fuxi.
Their eyes were filled with eagerness but not a trace of goodwill; instead, they were filled with smug satisfaction at achieving their goals!
"Once that white hawk leaves, the larvae will no longer be afraid, so I've decided that we will fight to the death tomorrow," Hu Hua made his meaning clear.
"What are your plans? Why don't you tell me?" Fu Xi was half-convinced!
"We'll split into two teams. We'll head east to the power station to attract Bai Chi's attention, but of course, it's just to attract attention," Hu Hua said, fearing Fu Xi's refusal.
"I've built a shelter to the east, which can temporarily protect our safety..."
"Su Qiang and Paoduo will launch a surprise attack, heading west to find a vehicle. At that point, we'll have a very high chance of escaping!"
Fu Xi is now completely certain that this group of people did not enter this place intentionally.
The large hole in the wire must have been made by the other party, otherwise the two of them wouldn't have met there.
As for the other party's proposed breakthrough, Fu Xi also expressed deep skepticism.
He learned clearly from the top of the power station that the silvery-white eerie creature only appeared at night.
As for why Hu Hua and his group didn't leave during the day, that's very likely the reason why something is amiss.
"Brother, brother? What's your decision?" Hu Hua waved his hand in front of Fu Xi, his unfocused pupils finally refocusing!
Fu Xi could now tell that the other party must have ulterior motives, but she had no choice but to believe that she had been targeted by Bai Chi.
Caution is the boat.
These people hadn't awakened any special abilities, so he decided to follow them to see what was going on.
"I'm in!"
"Okay, congratulations on our safe return! Let's relax tonight." Hu Hua pulled out some beer from somewhere.
Watching Fu Xi walk away, Su Qiang couldn't help but ask, "Boss, can he really do it?"
"We can't let him get away, no matter what! He's the key to our escape!"
Fu Xi went to a secluded corner and took out her pager.
zizi.
"Has it been interfered with?" Fu Xi recalled the strange patterns of the Doomsday Radio in his mind, but he was puzzled because this was not the Kuroshio area.
The power station is dozens of kilometers away from the Kuroshio Current. Could it be that the strange phenomena here can appear despite the Kuroshio Current's obstruction?
