Chapter 951
Deducts 1 reward point
After all, in a place without laws or police, the word "trust" is practically nonexistent.
He Qingsheng, who had concealed himself in darkness, spoke with sarcasm:
"What? I remember you three were shouting that you were going to call the police to arrest those veterans who kidnapped you?"
"Do you believe me now?"
"Do you believe you're in America now?"
Li Guang, forcing a smile, seemed to have thought of something:
"Don't be so harsh, bro. Didn't you not believe me in the first place?"
"After half a day, such a large air-raid shelter is right here. We have no choice but to believe it."
"Moreover, there are guns lying around here, so we have no choice but to believe it."
As he spoke, Li Guang casually took half a step forward.
And the next moment.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Li Guang, you fucking stop walking!"
The blade of the dagger in He Qingsheng's hand was already pressed against the neck of the white-collar worker in his arms.
As the skin was cut open, blood flowed out instantly.
This is the root cause of the wailing.
He Qingsheng, holding the white-collar worker hostage, took two steps back and sneered from the darkness:
"Alright, you two, enough with the nonsense. I don't want to reminisce with you anymore. Grab the gun and I'm leaving!"
"Kick the gun over here now, and then I'll back out."
The three remained in this stalemate for a while.
Feng Li said, "Here's what we'll do: we'll give the gun to the white-collar worker, and once you open that sealed door, you can step back to the doorway and have him give you the gun. Then we'll give you the magazine so you can release the person."
How about we each take a step back?
The two originally thought they would have to negotiate for a while longer, but to their surprise, He Qingsheng agreed as soon as the topic came up.
The others present all breathed a sigh of relief.
The white-collar worker took the assault rifle, hugged it tightly to his chest, and started walking backwards.
Feng Li and Li Guang kept a distance of seven or eight meters from the two men and followed them.
They retreated all the way to the passageway, where He Qingsheng and the white-collar worker pushed open the heavy door together.
Seeing Feng Li and the other man nod, the white-collar worker handed the rifle in his hand to them.
Just as he realized the dagger had disappeared from his neck and breathed a sigh of relief.
A crisp, mechanical click sounded behind him.
What none of the three saw was...
After taking the assault rifle without a magazine, He Qingsheng surprisingly pulled out a fully loaded magazine from his pocket and loaded it.
The white-collar worker froze upon hearing the voice.
He had never handled firearms before.
But at this moment, he was able to figure out the reason just by listening to the voice.
The person who instantly understood everything felt a chill run down their spine.
Without thinking twice, he suddenly turned around and shoved her.
But then an unexpected event occurred.
A shot rang out.
In the darkness, a yellow light appeared first, followed by a sound.
The flustered Li Guang and Feng Li had no idea what had happened.
They felt a sharp pain all over their bodies and instinctively kept their hands on the trigger.
The two nervous individuals were unaware of the difference between single-shot and burst fire, let alone the recoil of an assault rifle.
The initial pain in my body disappeared as soon as the gunshot rang out.
I don't know how much time has passed.
The gunfire stopped.
Feng Li, who was still alive, collapsed to the ground.
My arms and shoulders were trembling uncontrollably.
Because not far from him, Li Guang was lying on the ground, staring wide-eyed.
Compared to before, this office worker now has a bloody hole between her eyebrows.
As for the two figures further away, they lay motionless on the ground.
Upon witnessing this scene, Feng Li sat on the ground and gasped for breath before feeling a piercing pain throughout his body.
Looking down, I noticed two new holes on my stomach, bleeding profusely.
Only after realizing what had happened did he finally let out a wail.
But this guy isn't stupid either.
"Potion, more medicine!"
"Since the antidote works, the treatment must work too."
Muttering to himself, Feng Li opened the backpack behind him.
And just as he took out the medicine.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The firelight flickered three times in the darkness.
Feng Li, an ordinary person, clearly saw in that instant that a person covered in gray stone armor raised a gun and pulled the trigger.
This person was not the burly man surnamed Shen, but the white-collar worker who had been taken hostage.
At a distance of five or six meters, three bullets hit directly without any obstruction.
Even in death, Feng Li didn't know why his temporary teammate had killed him.
[Killed one member, deduct 1000 reward points...]
Hearing the voice in his mind, the third white-collar worker, who was the most deeply hidden, was stunned for a moment before realizing what was going on. He then spoke up in exasperation:
"Damn, they're deducting a thousand??"
"I haven't even earned any money yet, and they've already deducted a thousand???"
"You should have said so earlier! We wouldn't be in this mess!!!"
"Depend on."
The white-collar worker cursed the main god, and looked at the three corpses beside him with even greater rage.
If he had seen this scene in the afternoon, he probably would have collapsed to his knees.
But now, even half a day has become commonplace.
Because this air-raid shelter has more than one exit.
The three of them had actually emerged from the air-raid shelter an hour earlier and seen the city that had been destroyed and killed.
At the same time, I also saw countless human corpses.
The three of them vomited profusely at the time, but they felt much better after seeing the dilapidated scenes all over the streets.
It was at that moment that the three of them finally believed Zhu Wen's words and believed that this was the world of Transformers.
"Old Feng, don't blame me. It's your fault for hitting me several times."
"It really hurts, and we're going to die anyway."
"It would be better if he died sooner!"
"It's good that he's dead!"
The white-collar worker's eyes are devoid of reason; what remains is a kind of madness born of biological instinct.
It's as if he's been wanting to do this for a long time, and it's only now that it's finally come to a head.
This mindset also supported his nonchalant start to the body search.
He completely ignored the bloody hole in the piece of flesh, and even though his hands were covered in blood, he just casually wiped them on his trouser leg.
In the recent gunfight, He Qingsheng fired a shot that directly hit Feng Li and Li Guang on the other side.
The two of them started firing randomly without any aiming, hitting the white-collar worker and He Qingsheng.
Fortunately, he had talismans in his backpack, which saved him from the bullets.
In fact, Li Guang also had a stone armor talisman on him, but He Qingsheng's bullet hit his forehead by chance.
As for He Qingsheng at this moment, his body had become like a honeycomb briquette.
Most of the bullets from Feng Li and Li Guang landed on this man.
As for why He Qingsheng didn't use the talismans in those two backpacks, the white-collar worker had no idea.
"Damn it, those two idiots actually used up all their bullets!!"
"waste!"
The white-collar worker threw two assault rifles on the ground and cursed angrily.
Fortunately, because He Qing died early, he still had about a third of the bullets in his gun. Seeing the bright yellow bullets, the white-collar worker, whose mood had improved somewhat, then gasped in shock.
Because in just a short time, the stone skin on his body fell off.
He lifted his shirt and saw that his chest and shoulders were covered in bruises.
Only then did I realize that the talisman paper that could protect a person's body from bullets could only protect against bullets, not against blunt force impacts.
After glancing at the three corpses, the white-collar worker leaned against the wall, bared his teeth, and walked towards the dormitory.
There was a bed and blankets there, and he planned to lie down before drinking the medicine.
What he didn't see, as he staggered, was...
In the dark passage, a light, barefoot figure walked quietly through.
The temperature of the cement floor was extremely low, and my bare feet had turned deathly white from the cold.
The figure didn't look at the bloodstains on the ground, and the feeling of mud under her feet didn't change her expression in the slightest.
He just stared intently at the staggering figure leaning against the wall.
Bloody footprints appeared on the ground.
Li Qingqing didn't even know when she had stopped breathing.
It was the first time she had realized that she could walk so quietly.
Two figures drew closer.
Raise the wooden stick and swing it.
The sound of wind whistling through the wooden stick followed.
-
Despite the urging from Zheng Zha and the others, the team was large and complex.
Therefore, the entire team's marching speed was not fast.
It was shortly after leaving the city and entering the mountains.
The survivors also became agitated again.
Because once again, a terrifying mechanical figure appeared in the darkness behind them.
Those figures that appeared from the horizon with firelight were like death gods in the night.
Just when Andrei thought Zheng Zha and Li Xiao were about to make another move.
Among these "survivors," an unremarkable but handsome young man rose into the air.
What happened next made the temporary battlefield commander's eyes widen.
The young man wasn't flying very high, so they could all see him clearly.
The young man flipped his hand, and a diamond-shaped CD, about the size of a face plate and emitting a faint blue light, appeared in front of him.
The "CD" was entirely blue, as if it were formed from blue jade from the deep sea. Most importantly, it was engraved with mysterious patterns that they could not understand.
These patterns, like water flowing across a CD, emit a mysterious halo.
Xiao Honglu gazed at the countless mechanical meteors in the sky, his face serious.
He ignored the cheers of the survivors at his feet.
With his hands moving rapidly, the spiritual energy within his golden core began to boil, then surged entirely into the array plate in his hand.
That's right, it's a formation plate.
It is one of the six arts of cultivating immortality: formations.
The array plate refers to a magical artifact that condenses and organizes array formations into a small space.
It is a composite product of formations and weapon crafting in the cultivation of immortality.
Although it lacks the full power of a normal formation, it excels in its flexibility and ease of deployment.
Even without any knowledge of formations, one can set up and use formations simply by using a formation plate.
This is an ability that Xiao Honglu cultivated after advancing to the Golden Core stage.
It can be said that there is only one factor that restricts the strength of Xiao Honglu, this cultivator.
It's not about personal talent or cultivation resources, but about cultivation time!
Time so precious that it requires reward points to redeem!
Closer to home.
As spiritual energy continued to flow in, the runes on the surface of the array plate suddenly lit up, then burst forth with a dazzling blue light in the darkness.
next moment.
The sound of flowing water gradually grew louder and louder, starting from nothing.
It then spread rapidly like a tidal wave.
Finally, the sound of the surging tide shook and echoed throughout the entire mountain forest.
It was at this moment that the blue light became too obvious.
Those robots speeding through the air charged straight at them with a clear objective.
Xiao Honglu, enveloped in a shimmering, precious light, seemed to be waiting for something.
Just as a large number of robots continued to appear, even surrounding the survivors, the hand seals in his hands suddenly changed.
The entire mountain forest beneath our feet trembled.
Streaks of deep blue spiritual light surged out from the array plate, some of which anchored in mid-air.
Some disappeared directly underground.
This exaggerated scene caused all the robots to instinctively stop in their tracks.
But it's not over yet.
A crystal-clear water droplet condensed and took shape in the air above the entire forest bathed in blue light.
The water droplets grew larger and spread outwards after they appeared, but only for a moment.
It solidified into a huge blue light shield almost instantly.
It almost covered half of the mountain.
The light shield was completely transparent, like glass, and above the array was a blue ribbon composed of three energy stones.
Xiao Honglu stood on the ribbon and smiled.
Because his first use of the array plate against the enemy went more smoothly than he had expected.
Thinking of this, he changed his hand seals again.
He gave a low shout:
"Gather!"
Inside the formation, water vapor condensed, and thousands of arrows materialized out of thin air.
"go with!"
Like meteors falling to earth, a barrage of arrows anchored themselves around the enemy and hurtled towards the Decepticon machines that were pursuing them.
Leaving aside Andrei's shock.
In fact, Xiao Honglu originally did not intend to take action in this situation, and even if he did, he did not plan to use energy stones in such a luxurious way.
After all, even the worst energy stone produced by the Demon Refining Pot is equivalent to a D-level side quest.
However, after Chu Xuan learned the number of Decepticons' machines from Zhan Lan's mental scan, he made a request for Xiao Honglu to use the energy stone.
It seems this person is collecting something.
The speed and power of these arrows should not be underestimated.
Even those robots that were fifteen or sixteen meters tall were shot and staggered.
The shorter ones were even reduced to fragments on the ground.
Most importantly, these arrows formed from the condensed water flow endlessly and indefinitely.
After hitting its target, the water arrow dissipated and then condensed again in the air.
It was this inexplicable attack that finally made those figures who were constantly rushing into the blue light shield react and stop one by one.
Even, over time.
Seeing that the arrows remained unchanged, the robots finally chose to retreat and flee.
Finally, Zheng Zha and his group.
They walked into the valley under the watchful eyes of these robots, eventually going further and further away.
This is also the first time since the Decepticons began their invasion of Earth that they have watched humanity leave as the losers.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the blue array disappeared.
The first thing Zhan Lan said as soon as she opened her eyes was:
"Some of the surviving robots left directly, judging from their location, they were heading towards New York, while others entered nearby cities."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zilong in the group breathed a sigh of relief.
Recalling Xiao Honglu's final blow, he said enviously:
"Tsk tsk tsk, he's been silent until he made a stunning statement!"
"Cultivation is truly incomparable!" (End of Chapter)
