Long Mian's consciousness was still there, and he was carried on the back of the mechanical beast. Tang Shi followed him to take care of him, and the survivors continued to move forward.
It was an accident that he was able to escape this time. The purple-clothed demon envoy came in person and had no intention of letting them go. Unfortunately, God is not as good as God. He originally wanted to kill Long Mian with a shadow word spell, but he didn't expect that... Instead, he was knocked unconscious by Long Mian's skills. His men were leaderless and had to protect him, so they had to evacuate in a hurry, giving them a chance to escape.
They rushed non-stop, trying to get to Shuanghua City before the purple demon envoy came after them again.
Long Mian lay on the back of the mechanical beast and slept for a while. When he woke up, the wound had healed, but due to excessive blood loss, his face was still pale, he was also a little dizzy and weak.
"How do you feel? Does it still hurt?" Tang Shi saw that he was awake and leaned over to ask.
Long Mian stared at Tang Shi for a moment and shook his head.
Tang Shi took out a bottle of mineral water from the small compartment, unscrewed it, and held up his head, "Here, drink some water."
Long Mian enjoyed Tang Shi's service and drank a lot of water with his hand.
After lying there for a while, he felt much better, then he sat up and said, "It's okay, don't worry about me."
Tang Shi looked at him, was silent for a long time, and then said: "It was like this before... Did you work so hard?"
Long Mian smiled, his smile bright and dazzling, "How can I survive if I don't work hard? Even the talents of my bloodline were discovered through actual combat."
Tang Shi was silent again, and after a long time, he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you."
Long Mian's smile gradually faded, and he watched Tang Shi lower his head guiltily. He stretched out his hand to pull Tang Shi over, held him tightly in his arms, and whispered: "It's enough to know that you still care about me. I already Very satisfied, really.”
Yanxu was riding on a snow-colored griffin, following the mechanical beast not too far away. When he saw the two of them hugging each other, he was so angry that he almost crushed the saddle.
Tang Shi stood up and sat down, and seriously warned Long Mian, "Don't do this again in the future, it's too dangerous."
Long Mian smiled and said, "If it weren't for me, I don't know how many people would have died. I have a sense of proportion, so I fought with him. He can't kill me. I have the blood of the ancient dragon to protect my body. If he wants to kill me, he is not qualified. "
The Tang Dynasty was also surprised that Shang Xuanyi was killed by one blow, but Long Mian not only survived, but also tricked the purple-clothed demon envoy.
"how did you do it?"
Long Mian said: "I have the blessing of the ancient dragon. It should be a kind of protection that comes with the bloodline to avoid fatal injuries."
Tang Shi said with a straight face: "Even so, it's still too dangerous! Even if you have ancient dragon blood to protect you, you are still a human being first!"
Long Mian didn't defend himself, but just grinned. He was very happy to see that Tang Shi cared about him so much that he was willing to let him get hurt again.
Tang Shi slapped him on the forehead, "You're still laughing! Do you know that I was almost scared to death! You idiot! I won't save you next time, I'll just drag you away and bury you!"
Long Mian was still smiling, holding Tang Shi's hand and saying in a coquettish tone, "I know you can't bear it."
Now that Long Mian had recovered, Tang Shi was no longer worried. He kicked him aside, turned around and crawled to Dr. Shi. Long Mian wailed, "I'm still a wounded person, how could you do this to me!"
Tang Shi ignored the injury number and before he spoke, Dr. Shi's face was stiff and he said coldly: "I won't tell you any of my research."
Tang Dynasty: "..."
Sure enough, Dr. Weng is absolutely right when he calls you "Shi Lao Zhan", Lao Zong's face is showing to no one.
Tang Shi said: "I don't want to ask about your research. I just want to know whether the method of making natal cards has been really researched?"
Dr. Shi didn't even look at Tang Shi, "No comment."
Tang Shi was not in a hurry and said to himself: "For this unfounded research result, the entire Xianglong City has been involved. Millions of people may have died because of this research. If it can really be researched, what will happen?" Well, it can benefit more people, but if it’s not researched at all and so many people die innocently, it’s really not worth it.”
Dr. Shi's eyes widened, "What do you know? Even if I tell you, how much do you know?"
Tang Shi said calmly: "I think it is impossible for the natal card to be artificially created."
Dr. Shi snorted disdainfully, "Everyone has the same idea as you, so you can't become a researcher."
Tang Dynasty: "..."
Tang Shi said: "Then can this destiny card be made, or can't it be made?"
Dr. Shi glanced at Tang Shi, as if he was considering whether to tell him.
Tang Shi immediately said: "Don't worry, I am a judge and I will definitely keep this matter secret."
Dr. Shi thought for a while and then said: "Humans have spies who serve as demons. Xianglong City was destroyed in the hands of spies. The spies stole part of my manuscript. Just based on speculation, he thought that the method of making natal cards has been studied. Come out, it’s so stupid! If the method of making natal cards can be researched so easily, it won’t be called precious! I just got inspiration from the study of runes and found a correct idea. Really Whether it is feasible or not requires a lot of research and experiments. I didn’t expect that something like this happened. The Tribunal is already investigating this matter, and you should know about it soon."
In the final analysis, the destruction of Xianglong City was ultimately due to the role of his butterfly. If he had not obtained the runes and ink from the horned ape man and handed them over to the institute for research, Dr. Shi would not have been inspired by the research on the runes, nor would he have figured out the key to it. No manuscripts will be stolen or research results leaked.
If these were not available, Xianglong City might still exist well, just like in the previous life, it was successfully rated as a B-level gathering place, and then he worked as his judge in Xianglong City, but now, he is a butterfly It has deflected the trajectory of history again and caused so many casualties.
It seems that if you change your destiny against nature, you will always have to pay a price, either from yourself or from others.
Tang Shi decided that after things settled down, he would study the card-making machine and how it made cards. If it could bring some benefit to mankind, he would be willing to do so.
They marched in a hurry, and on the third day, they finally entered the new capital Shuanghua City.
Shuanghua City can be called the new capital after the end of the world. It is naturally the most prosperous and populous gathering place in the entire Huazun Domain. There are countless awakened people who go out to hunt every day.
Just today, when the Awakened Ones were out hunting, they suddenly saw flying mounts flying in the sky, followed by land mounts on the ground, also running all the way. Looking at their dusty appearance, it was clear that they were traveling from a distance. Come.
Several awakened people stopped to watch, and one person said: "I don't know where the awakened people came from. They want to come to the new capital and make a splash in the world."
“Back then, I was an elite awakened person in our gathering place, and was respected everywhere I went. I thought that when I came to the new capital, I would be able to get along well, but after a year here, I am still a mediocre awakened person. There are a lot of awakened people of my level in Xindu. I don’t know why I came to Xindu in the first place. I might as well stay in a small gathering place and live a life of being supported and respected by others. "
Another person said: "Shuanghua City is the new capital, and its defense level is definitely the highest. In addition, there are many experts in the city. Being able to occupy a place in the new capital is enough to live a worry-free life in this card era."
"The defense level of Shuanghua City is high not only because of those, but the most critical reason is the 'three pillars'. Think about it, an S-level gathering place is already very rare, but near Shuanghua City, there are also Yanlai, The two S-level gathering places in Luochuan are the guardians of each other's Shuanghua City. Any fool knows how high the security is. It's no wonder that everyone is trying to get to these three gathering places. Even in Those who work as beggars in these three gathering places are richer than those in other gathering places.”
"Look what you said, it's not easy for everyone in the card era. It's not easy to settle in these three gathering places. Everyone wants to squeeze in, but they just want to survive. Like other gathering places, maybe it's hot today It's so lively, and it will be conquered by the aliens tomorrow. Have you forgotten what happened to Xianglong City five months ago? A gathering place with a population of millions was destroyed overnight. How many people can actually come out alive? ?Aren’t they all dead there?”
When talking about this matter, several awakened people suddenly sighed. Two months ago, this matter spread a lot in Shuanghua City. Now it has been so long, just like other gathering places that were destroyed overnight. , has become a thing of the past.
People will only talk about it as examples, but they can't really empathize with it. After all, they have not experienced that battle.
Tang Shi and others flew all the way to Shuanghua City, and saw a large-scale gathering place in the distance. The city walls were high and thick, and the situation inside the city could not be seen from the outside. Even if they were flying in the sky, they would still have to reach enough Only at a high altitude can you get a glimpse of the city.
They couldn't imagine how such a tall defensive wall was built. It was incredible.
Those rows of neat and clean buildings, if I had to describe it in Tang Dynasty, it would be that from Xianglong City to Shuanghua City, it was like a "small village" in front of a "metropolis".
This small group of them was very conspicuous, flying in the sky and running on the ground, attracting countless awakened people to stop and watch, guessing their identities.
They didn't fall from the sky until they reached the city gate. The soldiers of the Awakening Army climbed on the back of the mechanical beast and helped the researchers down.
Many people at the city gate were looking at them, and even the awakening army guarding the gate became strange and came to ask.
Yanxu said: "We are the survivors of Xianglong City. We have a mission. Let us enter the city."
