Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 525: The angry people stir up the fog! (5600)

Including Cao Xing and Liu Muxue, everyone showed happy smiles on their faces after hearing the system prompts.

"Yes, it's just as I thought. The fog disaster is about to end."

During these eight days, they basically all stayed in the territory and their strength did not improve much.

It's like a short rest period.

If there hadn't been this heavy fog, Cao Xing would have been ready to destroy the Church of Light after the second round of monster siege.

And now, because of the fog disaster, this force has survived a few more days.

"During these eight days, I wonder how the old king and Kro have discussed. Have they come up with a specific action plan?"

"Once the fog is over, we should be able to take action, right?"

This also made Cao Xing think of another thing.

"If we have to deal with the Church of Light next, I will definitely have to divide my forces to fight."

"In addition to dealing with the group of people at the headquarters, we also need to send people to raid other strongholds."

"And these bases are too far apart. My small communication device only has a communication range of 320 kilometers. This means I can't monitor the movements of other teams."

"It seems that we need to find some longer-distance communication devices."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing kissed the person beside him and quickly got up.

Then he went directly to the territory's [Market].

As soon as the transaction interface was opened, a huge amount of consignment information appeared in front of me.

He ignored them all and entered the keywords "communication device" in the search bar.

Dozens of transaction information appeared in front of me instantly.

Cao Xing took a look and saw that there were communication devices ranging from small to medium and even large ones.

However, he glanced at the attributes.

Although the communication distances of the latter two drawings are very long, up to 5,000 kilometers, they both have a fatal flaw.

That is, they are too big to be carried around with you.

Especially the large communication device at the back, which is almost the size of a car and is equivalent to a communication base station.

What Cao Xing wanted was something that could communicate over long distances and was light enough to carry with him.

After scanning around, he actually found a blueprint.

This blueprint is called [Long-distance communication device production blueprint]!
The seller was a survivor named Tang Qiqi, whom Cao Xing had never heard of.

However, what she needed was a piece of gold equipment above level 30, any kind of equipment would do.

Cao Xing was too lazy to bargain with her, so he simply used a whole piece of [Saber-toothed Tiger Meat (Gold)] to exchange for the blueprint.

After seeing his name, the other party naturally made a deal readily.

[Obtain: Long-distance communication device production drawings]

……

After getting the drawings, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Then I looked at the properties.

【Drawings for long-distance communication device】

[Durability: 300]

[Maximum communication distance: 4500 kilometers (due to the long communication distance, there will be a certain delay in each transmission, and communication can be performed once every 30 seconds)]

[Production requirements: Advanced Mechanical Factory, Electronic Components*1, Copper*50, Mithril*10]

[Drawing description: A small communication device that embodies the cutting-edge technology of the human empire. It can be used to communicate with one's own subjects or other natives.]

……

Cao Xing exclaimed: "The small communication device only has a communication distance of 320 kilometers, and this one has soared to 4500 kilometers!"

"This distance should be enough!"

Although this long-distance communication device has a limit of only sending once every 30 seconds, it is not a big deal.

As long as he can convey instructions to others.

So, Cao Xing quickly came to the [Advanced Machinery Factory] and pushed the door open.

"Boom! Boom!"

The machinery factory is filled with the roar and noise of various machines running.

Several goblins in grey work clothes were busy inside, moving various parts back and forth.

After seeing Cao Xing, they all stopped what they were doing and saluted him.

These are Locke's assistants, responsible for some simple assembly work.

Cao Xing passed through various large machines and came to the depths of the machinery factory, where he found the goblin Locke who was squatting on the ground working.

The goblin was now wearing a set of white work clothes, which were covered with motor oil.

After seeing Cao Xing, he turned around quickly with a smile on his face.

"My Lord, may the new day bring you wealth and honor."

Cao Xing said directly: "Locke, how is the robot production going during this period?"

Locke replied respectfully, "My Lord, as you know, the noise from the machine factory is too loud when it is running."

"Due to the heavy haze and fog, we had to stop working at 5pm, which led to a significant drop in the production of these robots."

"Currently, there are a total of 245 elite-level Predator robots."

"There are 490 ordinary-level counter-robots in total."

Cao Xing calculated in his mind that there were more than 700 robots here, accounting for his nearly 1,000 people, which was already a very powerful force.

Locke continued, "There is one more thing I need to report to you. Since building these robots requires too many resources, we are running out of materials in our territory."

"Look..." The goblin looked at him cautiously.

Cao Xing nodded slightly. He naturally knew that the materials were running out.

It is impossible to mine minerals during this period, and resources in the territory are only going out but not coming in. No matter how big a shop is, it cannot last for long.

He replied: "Next, you should stop building robots and help me make a thousand communication devices first."

"The fog will be over in a few days, so there's no need to worry about the materials."

"Then, when you have time, make some frost catapults."

The attack power of this frost catapult is only one-third of the Neros cannon.

But it also has many advantages, one of which is the ability of range attack + group freezing.

Second, there is no need to load ammunition, you only need to adjust the angle of attack.

If there were a few more of them, it would be enough to cause great trouble to the enemy.

Locke rubbed his hands and said respectfully: "Okay, great lord, Locke will definitely complete the task you assigned with all his heart."

……

After instructing the goblin on what to do next, Cao Xing left the machinery factory.

There was still nothing to do during the day.

He first went to the Mage Tower, absorbed the magic crystal, and then wandered around the territory.

When night came, he returned to the lord's castle and slept in Liu Muxue's arms. His life was quite comfortable.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

There is only one day left before the fog recedes...

After tonight, the heavy smog disaster that has lasted for eleven days will completely end.

[Attention survivors! You have reached the 25th day of the development period. The haze and fog disaster has reached its final stage, and the impact of the fog disaster will be reduced. ]

[Today's weather: heavy fog with light snow, the lowest temperature is -63℃~-75℃]

……

The moment the system prompt appears.

Survivors all over the world became excited.

"Brothers, today is the last day, everyone hold on."

"The impact of the fog disaster has become less and less. Even the strange noises have become much quieter in the past few nights."

"I've noticed too. The fog seems to have thinned a lot, and visibility has increased dramatically. Can we go out and explore today?"

"Don't worry, everyone. Although the fog has dissipated a lot, there may still be dangers inside that we can't imagine. This is the last day, so please wait a little longer."

"You're right. Everyone, just be patient for one more day. We've already waited for ten days, so we can make up for it with one last day."

"..."

Amid the discussion among the crowd, everyone was waiting silently in the territory.

The daytime passed quickly.

into the night...

The whole world fell silent again.

But as other survivors have said, the fog has lessened significantly lately.

The fog was no longer as thick as before, and the dense crawling and crashing sounds were much less.

This also allows the survivors to sleep peacefully.

Including Cao Xing, who was lying leisurely on the bed, browsing the forum and listening to the noise outside the territory.

Time flies and it is already the second half of the night.

The second half of the night was exceptionally quiet. Not only was there no sound in the territory, but even outside the territory, no crawling sounds were heard.

Cao Xing said happily: "Yes, it seems that the unknown creatures in the fog have all disappeared."

Just when he thought that he would get through the night safely, he suddenly heard a loud banging on the door in the territory.

"Bang!!!"

The sound was particularly harsh in the silent night.

It was as if a door was opened!
Cao Xing opened his eyes instantly, a look of surprise and doubt appeared in his eyes?
"Hmm? Did anyone open the door in the middle of the night?"

Just as he was about to check it out,
A suppressed and anxious cry came from the communication device beside my ear.

"My Lord! I'm Heli. I don't know what happened to Elisa. She suddenly opened the door and ran out!"

At this moment, He Li seemed very flustered and did not care about Cao Xing's order not to talk at night.

Cao Xing's heart sank instantly, and then he asked in a low voice: "He Li, what happened?"

The other party quickly explained: “I don’t know what happened. Just now, Elisa suddenly got up from the bed and walked towards the door.”

"I felt something was wrong, so I called her and asked her why she went out."

“But little Elisa seemed to be in a strange state. Her eyes were dull and her expression was very stiff. She said there was a voice calling her in the fog, and then she opened the door as if possessed by a ghost.

"I wanted to stop her by force, but a special power appeared in little Elisa, which kept me from getting close to her!" "Then... then little Elisa ran away..."

He Li quickly told the story.

Cao Xing frowned immediately.

"Something is calling her in the mist? And its eyes are lifeless and its expression is stiff?"

"A special power has appeared in her body, and even the seventh-level leader He Li can't get close to her."

Obviously, this matter was weird from beginning to end.

Elisa definitely didn't want to go out on her own, but there was a force controlling her.

Cao Xing's expression turned very ugly. "Why must it be the last night?"

Elisa was an important member of his territory and there was no way he could just leave her alone.

However, it would be too dangerous to go into the fog now...

During the day, none of the survivors who entered the fog could survive, let alone at night.

However, it only took a moment for him to make the decision!
Cao Xing took a deep breath and said quickly: "Everyone, get ready for battle!"

"Isabel, go to the city wall now and release your holy light to the maximum to illuminate the way for us."

"Duan, get up right now and help me prepare a few vines that are at least ten kilometers long."

"Sarah, Marlene, Bron, Heli, Assam, get going now, follow me out to find Elisa!"

"Everyone else, stay in the room and be ready for battle at any time,"

Upon hearing the order, all the fighters in the territory took action.

The few people named by Cao Xing quickly got up from the bed and picked up their weapons.

Even though they knew that the fog outside was terrifying and might take their lives.

But everyone still pushed the door open without hesitation.

At this moment, Isabel has taken the lead in action.

She quickly came to the city wall, raised the staff in her hand high, and held the Holy Book of Light in her right hand.

A powerful breath of light gushed out of her body.

All of a sudden!
The light burst out like the sun, illuminating half of the territory.

At the same time, dozens of upgraded expert-level lighthouses also emitted torch-like light.

The light dispelled the fog.

Soon, Cao Xing led his men to the center of the territory.

The people whose names he just called out are already waiting here.

Among them were the animal-eared girl Heli who shared a room with Elisa, and the giant Jod.

She quickly stepped forward and said, "My Lord, Elisa is heading towards the east gate."

Hearing this, Cao Xing looked towards the dark city gate in the distance.

The polar man Duan also quickly came over and said, "My Lord, the vines you requested are ready."

"There are seven vines in total, and the length is almost ten kilometers."

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

"Mu Xue, Sarah, everyone tie the vines around your waist."

"Joad, come here and grab one end of these vines."

"Let's catch up quickly."

The moment they received the order, everyone quickly picked up the vines and tied them around themselves.

The giant Jod grabbed the other end of the seven vines.

Soon, everyone rushed out of the territory.

"Crash!"

As they moved, the vines grew wildly.

Cao Xing and others soon arrived at the East City Gate area.

Look around.

Outside the territory was endless darkness, and nothing could be seen due to the thick fog.

They could only feel a chilly aura flowing through it, as if some invisible monster was waiting for them to step in.

However, Cao Xing did not hesitate at all and quickly said, "Let's go!"

Seven figures walked out of the city gate without hesitation and rushed into the fog.

The moment everyone entered the fog, Cao Xing suddenly felt the temperature around him drop drastically!

The biting cold kept coming, mixed with the strange thick fog, and kept drilling into people's bodies.

Without the temperature provided by the energy station, the outside of the territory is just a huge ice cave.

"call……"

A white mist arose with everyone's breathing.

At this moment, it was dark all around, I couldn't see anything, and I didn't know where Elisa had gone.
Cao Xing said quickly: “Sarah, go to the nearby snowfield and look for Elisa’s trace.”

There were two light snowfalls during these eleven days.

In addition, all the beasts and animals basically stay in their own nests, and no other creatures will destroy their footprints in the snow.

If Elisa were to pass by the area, she would be able to find it easily.

The creatures in the fog would not leave any marks on the snow. Cao Xing had studied this before.

They seem to have some peculiar way of moving.

At the same time, Sarah had quickly started searching in the surrounding snow.

In less than half a minute, she returned to Cao Xing and said, "My Lord, we found human footprints there. It looks like they just passed by."

A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

Then he quickly said, "Sarah, lead the way, we will follow behind, and everyone should try not to make any noise."

After Sarah finished speaking, she turned around and led everyone forward, going deeper into the fog.

Soon, they arrived at an area about two kilometers away from the territory.

The deeper you go, the more you can feel the weirdness of this fog, as if it is a passage to another world.

At first, I could vaguely see the light radiating from Isabel behind me.

But just when they got to a certain distance, their eyes suddenly went dark and they could not see anything.

In this dark environment, everyone had to stop.

At the same time, Liu Muxue beside him directly entered the battle angel form.
"Buzz!"

A soft holy light burst out from her body, and a sacred war angel appeared, illuminating the area within a hundred meters around her.

It also allowed them to see the surrounding scenery clearly.

Cao Xing quickly glanced around and found that none of the people he brought were missing, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He continued: "Everyone move closer to Mu Xue, and be careful not to disperse."

"Mu Xue, you lead the way."

Liu Muxue, in angel form, nodded her head slightly, and while emitting a sacred light, she led everyone forward.

Along the way, they heard a strange sound from time to time.

It sounded like the whisper of a creature in the dark, or like the sound of some strange beings walking in the snow.

"Shasha... Shasha..."

"*%&*..."

Strange noises continued to be heard.

However, when they looked around, they found nothing.

Combined with this dark environment, one can't help but feel a little creepy.

However, Cao Xing was now determined to find Elisa and completely ignored these strange scenes.

Others also pretended not to see anything.

They continued to follow the footprints on the ground, moving deeper into the fog.

After going about seven or eight kilometers, Sarah suddenly stopped.

Then she turned her head with an unpleasant look on her face.

"My Lord, the traces of footsteps have been cut off..."

“It seemed like Elisa just walked here and then suddenly disappeared!”

Hearing this, Cao Xing felt depressed.

He knew what Elisa's disappearance here meant.

Just like the survivor named Cai Ze, who suddenly disappeared in the fog!
After a while, the information about the other party's death was displayed!

At this moment, a flame seemed to rise in Cao Xing's heart!
There was already a hint of anger in his eyes.

Members of the territory were taken away right under his nose, and he didn't even know who the other party was.

If Elisa had brought her own death upon herself, Cao Xing wouldn't have said anything.

It just so happened that this little girl was staying well in the territory, but was controlled by someone and walked into the fog.

At this moment, Cao Xing even wanted to cast a forbidden spell to blow up the fog!

No matter what’s in the fog, you can’t take your people away!

Everyone, including everyone, felt Cao Xing's uncontrollable anger at the moment.

Liu Muxue next to him said, "Axing, you decide."

"Should we all go out and clear up this fog and find Elisa?"

Including Bron, Sarah, Andrew and others next to them, a strong desire to fight has risen in their eyes!
Although, there is some extremely terrifying danger hidden in this fog, even they are not sure of being able to deal with it!
But Elisa was one of them.

This quirky little girl is usually very active in the territory and has won the favor of many people.

In their hearts, they all regarded Elisa as their own family.

At this moment, with their family members suddenly missing, everyone felt the same as Cao Xing.

Even if they have to face the horrific creatures in the fog, they must find them.

Cao Xing didn't say anything. He first looked at the time. It was now 04:43 in the morning, and there was only one hour left before dawn.

After a moment, he nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, then let's work together to turn this fog upside down!"

"If you don't return Elisa to us, we will fight it to the end!"
