Chapter 133 Everyone Will Die
A shocking exit?
Looking at this line of words, Chen Ling's eyes were full of confusion...
The first half of the sentence was clear, but the second half was a little subtle. What kind of performance is called "shocking"? What is considered an "exit"?
Just as Chen Ling was thinking, a commotion came into his ears, and the next moment the scene around him was quickly shattered.
[Audience Expectation Value +10]
Chen Ling woke up suddenly from his sleep!
He sat up from the bed and saw figures carrying kerosene lamps passing through the thick fog outside the window. There were continuous shouts in the distance, as if something had happened.
Chen Ling looked at the time. It was 3:40 in the middle of the night. He got up from the bed without hesitation, put on his windbreaker, and pushed the door open.
"What happened?"
As soon as Chen Ling went out, he saw the Zhao family father and son hurried out of the house, looking panicked.
"Ouch! Ah Ling! I was just about to knock on the door and call you!" Uncle Zhao said quickly, "Everyone in District 2 and District 4 is dead... Do you know about this?"
Chen Ling frowned slightly, "... I don't know."
"The people in District 2 were piled up into a mountain of corpses! I heard it was more than a hundred meters high! At the border between District 4 and us, someone heard a strange cry approaching... Ah Ling, tell me the truth, is our District 3... in danger this time?"
Chen Ling did not answer. After hearing about the events in District 2 and District 4, his previous guess immediately reappeared in his mind... Now that Han Meng has not returned, it seems that the guess may come true.
Seeing that Chen Ling did not speak, the father and son of the Zhao family looked at each other, their faces pale.
"Dad! Don't be afraid! I'm here, no matter what disaster comes, I will knock it down!" Zhao Yi straightened his chest wrapped in bandages and said confidently.
Uncle Zhao was furious, "Fuck! You want to die, don't you? What did you promise me tonight?"
Zhao Yi pursed his lips and lowered his head silently.
Chen Ling was about to say something when the sound of horse hooves came from the end of the street. A law enforcer in black and red uniforms was riding a fast horse and approached here quickly. When he was almost in front of Chen Ling, he grabbed the reins and stopped steadily.
"Chief Chen!"
The law enforcer dismounted, handed the reins to Chen Ling, and said seriously, "Chief Chen!! Chief Xi asked you to go to the headquarters, he is waiting for you there!"
Generally, law enforcers are only allowed to ride horses when there are emergencies. Now it seems that the situation is indeed serious... Chen Ling nodded, and lightly climbed onto the horse's back. After hesitating for a moment, he reminded Zhao Yi and the others:
"The situation in District 3 is not optimistic. If you find that something is wrong, don't stay in this breakfast shop... Leave District 3 in advance if necessary."
"Leave District 3?" Uncle Zhao was stunned, "Leave District 3... Where can we go?"
Chen Ling was silent for a moment, and slowly uttered three words:
"Aurora City."
After the voice fell, he rode away quickly, and his figure disappeared in the thick fog.
Chen Ling didn't know what was waiting for District 3 next. If it was really as he thought, Aurora City gave up all seven districts, then no matter where he ran, it would be a dead end... The only ray of hope was Aurora City.
Chen Ling rode his horse wildly on the street, encountering many panicked people along the way. They gathered together with kerosene lamps and talked anxiously. It seemed that only by holding together could they get some psychological comfort.
Riding a horse is much faster than walking. After a while, he arrived at the door of the headquarters. At this moment, a large number of people were already gathered outside the door, communicating fiercely.
"Districts 2 and 4 have fallen... I think District 3 will fall sooner or later!"
"Yeah, this thick fog hasn't dissipated yet, I always feel weird."
"Have you heard? Monsters are coming from the south!"
"Ah? What should we do then?"
"Trust the law enforcers? I feel they should be able to solve it... Didn't Chief Han Meng just kill a disaster?"
"Not every district has a strong man like Chief Han Meng. I don't think there's any need to panic. Everyone calm down first..."
"But I just saw that many people have run away with their belongings. . "
"Run? Where did they go?"
"It seems that they went along the railway tracks to Aurora City?"
"Aurora City? ! Are they crazy? Without the procedures to enter the city, what can they do even if they get there? Won't they be driven back?"
"The seven districts are not necessarily safe anymore, but Aurora City will always be safe... It is reasonable for them to escape to Aurora City."
"..."
When they saw Chen Ling riding a horse, they immediately surrounded him and asked about the current situation in District 3. Chen Ling turned over and got off the horse, but was blocked before he could push the door.
He frowned slightly and said coldly:
"Get out of the way!"
Chen Ling's reputation in District 3 has always been not very good. Almost everyone knows about the terrifying rumors about him. When everyone saw Chen Ling start to pull out a gun, they were immediately startled and obediently made way.
Chen Ling pushed the door open and walked into the headquarters, locking it behind him to isolate himself from all the noise and bustle.
The faint moonlight shone through the thick fog and the glass dome, pouring into the empty hall. In the dim shadows, a figure stood quietly behind the desk.
He turned his back to Chen Ling and faced the wall. In the middle of the high wall, a flag more than ten meters long was hung high. On the dark background, two overlapping blue hexagonal stars looked like shining stars in the Arctic night sky.

A line of characters suddenly appeared on the reflection of the ground, and Chen Ling frowned immediately...
"You're here." Xi Renjie turned around, holding a wine glass in his left hand, and his cheeks were a little unnaturally flushed.
Chen Ling stood at the door, looking at Xi Renjie with confusion in his eyes. Seeing the increase in audience expectations, he keenly smelled something wrong, but still walked towards the desk.
"It's a mess outside." Chen Ling said, "Why don't you go to maintain order? Instead, you're drinking here?"
Xi Renjie shook his head, "It's meaningless."
"Why?"
"Aurora City has given up on us."
Hearing this, Chen Ling frowned even more tightly, "How do you know? Has Aurora City replied?"
"No, but Districts 2 and 4 have already fallen, and they still haven't made any moves... Even Mengge hasn't come back. If this isn't giving up on us, what else can it be?" Xi Renjie smiled bitterly. He bent down and picked up a bottle of white wine on the ground and poured it into the glass again.
The intoxicating wine rolled into the glass, and Xi Renjie's eyes were a little blurred. He slammed the bottle on the table heavily, picked up the glass with his other hand, and drank it all up.
Chen Ling didn't answer, he just stared at Xi Renjie in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xi Renjie's Adam's apple rolled, and the spiciness made his face red and hideous. He took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Everyone will die, including us."
