When Zhang Zhiyin woke up tomorrow, the car was already parked. They stopped on the original highway, and Lao Zhu said that if they drove more than 2,000 meters forward, they could enter the urban area of the Fallen City.
There is a strong smell of zombies here, but unexpectedly, the density of zombies is very low. However, there must be something special about this place to attract the Yun family and their sons, and it's not completely beyond expectations.
There is a refueling spot nearby. Zhang Zhiyin and the others did not dare to enter the city rashly, so they used it as a temporary base. There were seven or eight zombies in the gas station, all of which were only three or four, and they were quickly taken care of.
In the epic dungeon, Xiao Jin from the spiritual department was assigned to the auxiliary group, and has been doing auxiliary interference work in the rear, so the injury is not serious, and this time he was picked by Zhang Zhiyin and brought together.
This big bear boy is usually out of tune, but after training, he almost never loses the chain at the critical moment. After so many battles, he can be called a spiritual power user with rich actual combat experience and keen reaction. His talent itself is good, and now the power level has also risen to level seven. After settling down, without waiting for Zhang Zhiyin's orders, Xiao Jin consciously went to the side to sit quietly and began to scan the city with his mental strength.
For high-level psychic powers, psychic power is their most sensitive and reliable sense, and this is most evident in Mengcali. Although Xiaojin's level is still far behind that of Moncali, he is still very familiar with using mental power to scan the general situation in unfamiliar areas.
After half an hour, Xiao Jin opened his eyes, and his forehead was full of sweat. He took two breaths and smoothed his breathing: "Captain, other places are similar to other abandoned cities, and I can't see anything. But there is something strange in the southwest corner of the city. There is a large area surrounded by it, it feels like It is the kind of restricted area that ordinary people are forbidden to enter in TV movies, and there are metal walls more than two meters high on all sides.
Old Zhu squinted his eyes and said with a sip of his mouth: "That's not right, this city should be the surviving population who escaped after the end of the world, and no one will come here after it is abandoned. How could anyone build such a large-scale city? A forbidden area that shields mental power?" Before the end of the world, everyone had no concept of superpowers, and they didn't know what mental power was, let alone the idea of shielding mental power.
Zhang Zhiyin nodded: "Then there are only two explanations. The first is that this place has something to do with supernatural powers and other things before the end of the world, and it is likely to be one of the sources of the end of the world; the second is that there are indeed people who have the time and ability to come back to the end of the world. To build a base here, e-lab or y have this ability. But the alliance should not want to fight against these two forces, and according to Xiaojin's description, the first one is more likely."
Xiao Jin looked at Zhang Zhiyin with wide eyes: "Captain... The place that has something to do with the end of the world before the apocalypse... Isn't it related to Dr. Y?" From the relationship between Yin Nian and Zhang Zhiyin, he had long inferred that the captain had something to do with it. There is also a connection with the legendary man who created the end of the world with incomparable horror, and it is very likely that he has a deep relationship. But he didn't know what the captain's attitude and reaction were. Although it seems that the captain finally came together with Dr. Yin and objected to what Y did.
Zhang Zhiyin shook his head: "I have nothing to do with him."
He lowered his voice and murmured again: "Even if it was related before, it's gone now..."
He was sentimental about the relationship between himself and Yin Nian who met strangers at this time, but in Xiao Jin's ears, he became "Ah, there really is a hidden feeling". Xiao Jin was sensitively aware that the captain was not in a good mood when he mentioned y, and he honestly didn't speak any more. Anyway, no matter who the captain knew or was friendly with, he was the reliable captain he knew.
They were in the northwest now, and Xiao Jin said that there was a problem in the southwest, so Zhang Zhiyin consciously didn't approach, and only probed the northern part of the city. He could guess that there should be Yun Chu's purpose, but Zhang Zhiyin's character is more restrained and cautious, and he is used to keeping everything under control. It is better to act collectively after the research is deployed.
In the past four days, Zhang Zhiyin's seven people have gradually cleaned up the zombies in the northern part of the city, and everything is orderly. On the fifth day, Zhang Zhiyin speculated that the main force should be coming soon, and decided to take a day off at the gas station, while waiting for them, and at the same time recharged for the next activities.
As night falls, it is even more empty and silent in a world without lights, cities and traffic. Zhang Zhiyin got up after three hours of sleep, ready to replace Lao Zhu and Xiao E who were watching the night. There were seven of them in total, and they were divided into two, two, and three shifts to guard.
Lao Zhu was surprised to see him up: "The captain is here so early? Why don't you rest for a while?"
Zhang Zhiyin smiled and said, "I can't sleep. Just get up and take care of you first. Don't call Xiao Jin first, let him sleep for a while, and I can handle it." Zhang Zhiyin and Xiao Jin were on the night watch.
While talking, Xiao E, who was watching the night with Lao Zhu, suddenly said: "Captain, Brother Zhu, there is someone over there... It seems like, Dr. Yin."
Zhang Zhiyin looked up in the direction of Xiaoe's gaze, and sure enough, he saw a familiar slender figure, wearing a conspicuous white coat, standing in the darkness not far away.
The mood only stirred for a second, and even without a second glance, Zhang Zhiyin could see that it was a fake. But especially when he came here dressed like this, the target was obviously himself.
And the other party dared to pretend to be Yin Nian to come to him, even if he knew that the other party had ulterior motives, Zhang Zhiyin would take the bait. Otherwise, it would not be that Zhang Zhiyin who had been swiping his face against the avatar for 363 days. His dedication to Yin Nian is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Zhang Zhiyin confessed in a low voice: "It's fake, I'll go check it out. I'm asking everyone to stand by and contact them with the communicator." A year and a half ago, thanks to the efforts of the Baimang Association, the advanced communicator of the alliance could communicate with each other within a short distance. positioning function.
After speaking, Zhang Zhiyin walked towards the figure.
The man flickered and left suddenly, but stopped not far away, as if he was waiting for Zhang Zhiyin.

In Dr. Y's base, Moncali nervously stopped Layton.
Layton was expressionless: "What's the matter?"
Mengcali's mental strength sounded weak: "The boss told me to make up for my faults and kill someone within a month, but now a month has passed, and I haven't killed yet."
Layton, resolutely: "You are dead."
Moncali: "That person is Zhang Zhiyin."
Layton patted her on the shoulder: "Well done."
Moncali: "Huh?"
Layton: "A child like you doesn't understand. The boss must not really want him to die. If you really kill him, you will have trouble."
Moncali: I still don't quite understand it, but it sounds like I'm fine.
Layton thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, prepare yourself, the boss will go to Jiya City in person."
Jiya City... Mengka was stunned for a moment, and used his mental power to stop Layton, who wanted to leave: "The restricted area there restricts space teleportation. It was set up by the boss himself back then. I can't open the teleportation without permission." The boss himself uses the space ability to teleport them past.
Layton threw a milky white five-pointed star as expected: "Use this, the space permission card."

Zhang Zhiyin chased the man all the way to the south. He had a vague guess that the man wanted to introduce him into the black restricted area in Xiaojin's mouth. He used the freedom of the apocalypse to fly here, and the deepest impression from a bird's-eye view was the four dark metal walls and the gray-black mist that covered them. There is no reason to make people feel dark and depressed, as if there is a cold atmosphere lingering. In the sky, Zhang Zhiyin could clearly perceive that even the upper part of the restricted area was closed. It was a huge circulating energy network with high-voltage electricity that could instantly turn people into powder. Even the mutant's flesh cannot withstand such a high-energy attack.
They passed the dead streets all the way through the darkness. It's foggy tonight, making everything around me shadowy. The man was very fast, he should have used some kind of space ability, he always passed by in a flash, and he was thousands of miles away in an instant. Zhang Zhiyin, on the other hand, had no direction, so he could not use the space symbol to locate, and could only passively follow behind.
He chased all the way, and his high concentration made his perception of time less sensitive, just like the time for handing in the papers unknowingly during a stressful exam.
After a long time, the man finally stopped. With the help of the precision ability, Zhang Zhiyin could clearly see the dark and dull metal wall in the forbidden area in the distance.
Zhang Zhiyin and the man were separated by a distance of 300 meters. He quietly watched the man in white take off his disguise and turned into a familiar look: "Captain Zhang, stay safe."
Zhang Zhiyin narrowed his eyes: "Li Shuifeng, you tried your best to become Yin Nian to lie to me, just to bring me here?"
Li Shuifeng smiled: "But you've already come, haven't you? Then my goal has been achieved. Captain Zhang, you might as well look back."
Zhang Zhiyin looked back vigilantly, but saw the same black and dull metal wall as in the distance ahead.
Li Shuifeng stared at him slightly resentfully and mockingly: "Zhang Zhiyin, as long as Yin Nian is involved, it will blind your eyes and make you lose your judgment. As long as Yin Nian's figure appears, no matter if it is true or not, you will only stare at him. Look. Captain Zhang, your weakness is too obvious, which makes me feel that I have lost a lot of fun. Didn't you realize it? You have already been trapped in a mental mirror, and you have already stepped into your reminder. I’m in a restricted area that I don’t want to step into.”
Zhang Zhiyin snorted: "It seems that you had a good time in the e-lab." Li Shuifeng didn't come alone. He was dressed as Yin Nian and used high-level alien props. At the same time, there was at least a tenth-level psychic lurking here. . It is the person of e-lab, and the status in their organization will not be low.
Li Shuifeng smiled and shook his head, meaning: "Better than you."
"I know that Dr. Yin has made a lot of advanced space teleportation charms for you, which probably makes Captain Zhang feel safe. But this time is different." Li Shuifeng smiled and turned a white five-pointed star card in his hand, "You You probably don’t know yet, this place was formerly known as Jiya City. This restricted area was the last experimental site of Dr. Y. As for what the experiment was about, you will be able to experience it yourself in a while. There are space restrictions set up by Y himself. Those who do not have his permission, No space abilities can be used. And there are only two space permission cards left, one, unfortunately, was obtained by us; the other is still in Dr. Y’s own hands.”
"The door you just came in is only open for fifteen minutes every day from 5:45 to 6:00 in the morning, and now, it is 6:05." The smile on Li Shuifeng's face became stronger and stronger, with a sense of success. It means, "In the next time, please enjoy the last zombie army that Dr. Y created - the Guardians of Darkness. They were specially brought for you in advance and specially built for you, so I will not accompany them."
Li Shuifeng smiled, shook the white five-pointed star card in his hand, and disappeared in front of Zhang Zhiyin in an instant.
Zhang Zhiyin cursed secretly, and had to be vigilant and pay attention to the surroundings.
The sky is getting brighter, but the fog is getting thicker and thicker, and the color has gradually turned from a cold gray-white to a dull rust-black like a metal door. Rows of zombies appeared in the fog like this, moving in unison, like a real army. Each zombie has the strength of eight to nine levels. What is even more terrifying is that their eyes are black, and there is a dark flame burning inside.
What is even more striking is that there is a zombie more than two meters high behind them. The flames in its eyes jump more intensely and the color is darker. It held a black half-meter long metal axe in its left hand, and was wearing a homogeneous metal protective suit, like a general who commanded a thousand troops.
Its level is even higher than that of Zhang Zhiyin. It should have level ten. This was the first real level 10 zombie that Zhang Zhiyin saw in the world of tomorrow.
Zhang Zhiyin urged the freedom of the apocalypse, flew up, and looked down at this army of zombies from top to bottom. However, the energy shield on top of the restricted area restricted him from flying too high. He remembered the word Li Shuifeng used to describe this group of zombies, "Guardians of Darkness".
The biggest advantage of the precision ability is that it has a long range. At this height, other ice skills except ice bombs are beyond the range, but the precision ability can still be used. According to experience, it is estimated that the zombie mobs that are comparable to ordinary bosses should not be able to attack him, but the zombie boss that only uses the axe is not easy to say.
The freedom of the apocalypse has a duration of two hours, but the cooldown of the skill is two hours and fifteen minutes, that is to say, if he does not solve it within two hours, he will make a forced landing for fifteen minutes, and if he is besieged or It would be very unfavorable or even fatal to fight meleely against the zombie boss who seems to have an all-powerful defense against the meter.
Zhang Zhiyin thought for a while, dashed forward for a distance, passed the approaching zombie boss, then turned around and fired the first shot.
The zombie boss was startled, and immediately swung his axe and spat out a black energy bullet.
Zhang Zhiyin dodged to the side, and the energy bomb hit the building behind him, instantly dissolving a large hole in the wall.
This is an effect that no power has ever achieved.
The Guardians of Darkness... Zhang Zhiyin raised his head, suddenly stunned. These zombies all belong to the special abilities that have only appeared in rumors in the "Tomorrow" game, and no one is sure whether they really exist, the dark system.
———
Under the morning light, everything in the world gradually became transparent and bright.
A team of well-protected and orderly driving teams drove along the high-speed towards the direction of Jiya City. They should have been able to arrive yesterday, but they were ambushed by the ashes base, delaying their trip.
The first two cars stopped at the gas station beside the road impatiently, and two people walked down, it was Da Dao and A Kong.
Xiao E saw them take two steps and ran over and shouted, "Deputy captain!"
The big knife's injuries were all healed at this time, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, tell me slowly, what happened?"
Xiao'e nodded and swallowed: "Last night, the captain got up to watch the night, saw a man disguised as Dr. Yin, and ran after him. Later, Brother Zhu, Xiao Jin and my brother followed, leaving the three of us here to wait. Then we will respond to the big troops. According to the latest news, the captain was trapped in the restricted area and faced hundreds of high-level zombies alone and could not get out. I wish they couldn’t get in and couldn’t support. The situation is very urgent.”
Da Dao looked solemn, looked at A Kong, and said to Chen Guang, who came after him: "You are here to explain and coordinate with the alliance leader and them, and seek support. I will bring our people there first."
Chen Guang agreed, and Da Dao immediately organized everyone in the Thunder Detachment to get into the car, and with Xiao E, drove straight to the interior of the Fallen City.
In front of the metal wall in the restricted area, A Kong saw his younger brother whose eyes were red with anxiety.
When they raised their heads, they could see the sky above the restricted area. Their captains relied on the flexibility of their bodies to escape the dark energy ball attacks of the zombie bosses again and again, and responded with bullets and ice bombs in a timely manner.
But the suppression between levels is obvious, not to mention that the opponent is such a boss that has been specially transformed to be extremely powerful, the damage Zhang Zhiyin caused to it is really minimal.
Xiao Jin said in a hoarse voice: "The captain has been inside for almost two hours. None of us can get in. The air above the restricted area is also blocked by the energy cover."
A Kong tried to use space teleportation, but failed repeatedly.
"Damn," she said, "there's space restrictions in here."
The big knife hit the metal door with a golden blade, only a row of sparks spattered, and the metal door stood still without any damage.
Lao Zhu leaned against the front cover of the car and kept mumbling, "Calm down, calm down, there must be a way."
The big knife took the golden blade and turned back and shouted: "Send information to Chen Guang! There must be a lot of information about this place in Yunchu, and if he wants it, all of it must be obtained immediately no matter what method is used!"
Just then, a mutation arose.
A huge space vortex appeared on the ground of the forbidden area that should have prohibited all space abilities. Zhang Zhiyin couldn't help but be distracted. A dark energy ball rubbed his shoulders and flew past, so the defense function of the apocalypse suit was not badly damaged, but the clothes on the left shoulder were completely eroded.
The vortex gradually subsided, and a black car appeared there.
The wind-type abilities in the detachment flew over the metal wall and looked in, then froze there, taking a deep breath: "Layton, Moncali... And, Dr. Yin, no, it's y..."
Everyone looked at Zhang Zhiyin in midair, and their faces became even more worried.
Fortunately, the three of Dr. Y seemed to be just watching, without making any moves or taking any shots.
Da Dao and the others were anxiously thinking of various ways outside, while Zhang Zhiyin lost sight of the profile of the man in the car. He hated his precision ability a little. Clearly.
Worse yet, end-time freedom waits for no one. When two hours have passed, the effect of the flying skill will be automatically removed.
Zhang Zhiyin gritted his teeth, aimed at a row of two-story buildings in the restricted area, and jumped over with the last bit of flying effect.
However, at this height, the long-range skills of many zombie mobs can hit him, and the zombie boss can also use more skills to chase and block him, making him cramped and very hard.
Zhang Zhiyin silently counted the time in his heart. As long as he persisted for fifteen minutes, he could continue flying into the air for two hours.
The zombie boss was not as he wished. He saw that the two-meter-high big zombie jumped with a leap and borrowed strength. It was as stiff as an ordinary zombie, and jumped up very nimbly!
Yin Nian transformed it really well.
Zhang Zhiyin smiled bitterly, changed all his skills to defense, and began to dodge and run. But the space on the roof is limited, and the speed of this big zombie is not slow. In less than three rounds, he was still blocked at the edge of the roof and had to fight against the zombie boss.
Zhang Zhiyin raised his gun to shoot, and the zombie boss didn't dodge or evade, obviously ignoring his attack, and slashed directly at him with a big axe. There was a faint silver-black wave on the axe, which was obviously refined from the essence of dark power. If it was hit, it would be far more terrifying than being hit by an energy ball.
Zhang Zhiyin didn't dare to resist, and turned around to hide, but the zombie's left claw pressed on his shoulder.
He had been hit by a dark energy ball there before. After several consecutive battles and the consumption of the previous two hours, Zhang Zhiyin had not had time to repair the equipment, and the armor of the apocalypse, which had been in invisible state, could no longer withstand this attack. The zombie claws sank deep into the flesh, almost crushing his shoulder blades. On the other hand, the zombie boss raised his axe in his right hand, and was about to slash down from Zhang Zhiyin's head.
The claws of the zombies were poisonous, and Zhang Zhiyin only felt a blur of consciousness in the severe pain.
As if it were an instinct, when he was most hopeless and helpless, he would turn to those closest to him for help. Zhang Zhiyin looked straight at him, stretched out his right hand to him weakly, and whispered to himself, "Yin Nian, I hurt..."
The zombie boss's axe fell in an instant, A Kong looked up at this scene, his mouth opened wide, but he couldn't make a sound, his nails sank deep into the flesh, but he didn't feel anything.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
In the next second, the thunder and lightning of the silver-purple madness quickly exploded, setting off a monstrous trend that swept the entire restricted area.
