Above the wilderness, the fog is deep.

As time continues to pass until two o'clock at night, the night darkness shrouding the earth becomes heavier and heavier, completely covering up the traces of biological activities during the day.

But, in Hope Village.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

As the news about Chen Shen and Li Hu came back one after another.

Six huge spotlight lamps instantly rose up to the sky, and all street lights entered full power load mode.

A series of piercing sirens began to sound from the loudspeaker at the entrance of the village that had never been used before.

This shocked all the villagers who were still sleeping and subconsciously got up from their beds.

"Oops, it's a level one alarm!"

Three long beeps and two short beeps.

Previous drills are enough for most people to identify the rating of this alert.

At the same time, if you can hear such a sound in daily life, it has only one meaning.

From now on, the village has entered a critical moment of life and death.

Understand the meaning behind this alarm.

Immediately, a small number of villagers turned pale and froze on the spot for a moment at a loss.

But at the same time, there was also a large group of villagers who got dressed excitedly and almost ran towards the location of the village's armed forces.

War, in peaceful times, is everyone's nightmare and the darkest moment that civilians are unwilling to face.

But in the last days, in the wasteland.

For everyone living in Hope Village, this is an opportunity, a moment to decide your own destiny with your hands!

Level 1 alert, all people are on the alert.

Regardless of your previous status or job, you can go to the Armed Forces Department to pick up weapons when the alarm sounds.

Once a battle does occur, all villagers holding weapons will be regarded as warriors in the village.

You only need to kill the invading enemies, and you can obtain three times the previous military merits!

This military exploit can not only be exchanged for a large amount of living materials, but also for the land, materials, infused knowledge and other resources previously proposed by Soma.

Even if you can kill the opponent's leader or change the situation of the battle, as long as you pass the test of Soma's strength, you will have a chance to enter the underground shelter!

With such a huge reward, how can you not drive people crazy!

Reflecting the reality, in less than ten minutes, no less than 500 villagers had gathered in front of the Armed Forces Ministry's bungalow.

Su Deben, who was standing in front of the bungalow, sighed in his heart: People's hearts can be used!

"Are you sure they are not hostile to us humans?"

"But I saw them binding Chen Shen with ropes. If there was no hostility, why would they use such behavior to show force?"

Return to the high slope where everyone used telescopes to observe the mysterious building complex.

After hearing the three people's reports, Li Hu's brows had already furrowed into a big "Sichuan" sign.

Earlier, when the fishman took out the hemp rope and prepared to tie up the four people.

Li Hu, who was lying behind, couldn't help but want to take action.

If Chen Shen hadn't raised his hand and shook it later to signal everyone not to be anxious, otherwise the battle would have broken out in the wilderness, and there would be no peace like now.

"Brother Hu, you have to believe me. Although those fishmen are ugly, when they saw us, they didn't show the bloodthirsty and hateful eyes of ordinary aliens when they saw us."

"It feels like, how should I put it, their eyes are just like us humans, there is not much difference!"

"And when the village chief said to let the three of us go, this group of aliens obviously understood, which shows that there is definitely talk among us!"

Knowing what Chen Shen meant by letting the three of them come back, Chen Shen's cousin Chen Yu kept explaining, trying his best to dispel Li Hu's intention of storming in to save people.

However, compared to Chen Shen's tact, Li Hu was obviously not satisfied with Chen Yu's answer.

But helplessly, Li Hu did not dare to act rashly as the hostages were in the opponent's hands.

He could only keep his eyes on the telescope and observe the movements in the mysterious building complex.

Mysterious building complex.

Five-story high-rise building.

Before entering the interior of the building, Chen Shen was fully mentally prepared.

He thought that the interior of this building might be like something seen in modern science fiction movies, with holographic projections and white metal instruments full of science fiction everywhere.

Countless murlocs shuttled through it, all wearing standard white coats and glasses. Their chats were full of professional vocabulary, and they looked like scientific research experts.

He also thought that there might be hundreds of humans imprisoned here, being monitored by murlocs and working day and night to develop higher and more terrifying technologies for them to deal with other races in the wasteland.

He even thought about the commission mentioned by the cloaked fish people, which was probably for him to help the fish people find various scientific research experts in exchange for benefits.

However, this is all imaginary.

When he actually entered the building, Chen Shen was disappointed.

The technology he wanted to see was not reflected anywhere here.

The picture he imagined in his mind only stayed in his mind a minute ago.

There is no mystery at all inside the entire five-story building.

No matter which direction you look at it, this place is as old as a government building in the 1990s in civilized times!

In the slightly dark corridor, only the dim overhead lights emitted a dim light.

The floor beneath my feet was oily and exuded a disgusting fishy smell.

On the peeling walls, you can still see a lot of black handprints, as well as some sticky secretions from unknown sources.

Walking inside, Chen Shen could only hold his breath and try to isolate the impact of this smell on his mentality as much as possible.

"How about it? Our building is pretty good, isn't it?"

Seeing Chen Shen's face red and out of breath, the cloaked fishman turned his head and showed a faint smile for the first time.

This smile contains a bit of pride and a bit of relaxation after getting the answer.

It seems to be in his mind.

Every "outsider" who enters here should be so shocked and panicked.

Even though Chen Shen's performance was more exaggerated than others.

"No, not bad!"

When responding to the cloaked fishman, Chen Shen inevitably breathed in the smelly air again.

This time, he almost choked and even vomited out the soup he drank in the afternoon.

But the good thing is.

Going up the spiral staircase, the cloaked fishman is in front and Chen Shen is behind.

As the two of them moved up to the second floor, the smell finally became much lighter. It was basically the same as a fishing boat that fished all year round, except that it smelled unpleasant and lacked a lot of the pungent smell.

Now, Chen Shen was finally able to let go of his breathing control and began to look around.

Compared with the first floor, the second floor is much newer.

Although there are still large areas of mold on the walls due to moisture.

But those black handprints and traces of wear and tear on the floor were finally reduced a lot.

When passing through the corridor, Chen Shen cast his eyes on the small rooms that were separated.

Here, he saw many ordinary fishmen who were resting.

Unlike humans who still need to lie down on the bed, these fishmen just lie down straight on the floor, uninhibited and unrestrained.

Seeing him coming, many fishmen woke up from their sleep and looked at him with curiosity and surprise.

Keep going.

I saw fishmen lying on the ground in four or five rooms in a row.

Then I saw the familiar desk, office chair, documents piled high on the table, and file cabinets placed in the corner of the room.

Chen Shen was shocked in his heart and couldn't help but quicken his pace and caught up with the cloaked fish man to ask.

"After they finish their work, don't they have to go back to their own place to sleep?"

After the words fell, the cloaked fishman walking in front was stunned and shook his head in astonishment:

"What a waste of time. We fishmen only have a life span of twenty-five years. How can we waste time like this!"

"You humans can waste your lives on insignificant enjoyment, but we can't!"

The unexpected answer made Chen Shen suddenly startled when he got the answer.
