Although Qin Lun had a clear purpose and a clear plan, it was not easy to find the branch location of the "Wheel of Heavenly Brilliance" in this area.
One is that most of the buildings in the holy city of Atlantis are dilapidated, and they look similar from a distance. Without getting close to a certain distance, it is impossible to identify whether it is the station of the "Wheel of Tianhua".
The second is that "Wheel of Tianhua" implements a strict military control system. The administrative building, the apostle's residential area, the arena, and the apostle's exchange are all military restricted areas. Even if they found their residence, outsiders would not be able to tell which building was the apostle branch of the "Wheel of Heavenly Splendor" among the large group of buildings.
"Huh!" With the help of claw chains, Qin Lun swept from one building to the roof of another building, landed a roll and stood firm. Although he also pays more attention to concealment, but because he is conducting a large-scale search, it is inevitable that he will attract the attention of some apostles.
However, when these apostles saw Qin Lun for the first time, they immediately gave up their desire to fight him. The reason is also very simple. At this time, those militant apostles are rushing to the previous fighting area, wanting to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Most of the apostles who didn't join in the fun were deep-minded and made up their minds to hide their strengths and bide their time in the early stage of the battle for hegemony.
What's more, seeing Qin Lun flying around like Spiderman in the air, which idiot would be willing to follow behind him. Most of them just cursed and stopped talking to this arrogant flying monkey.
In this way, Qin Lun's journey was unimpeded. In half a day, except for the battlefield where the flames of war continued, he almost touched the area of the hegemony battle, and marked it completely on the projected city map.
Just as Qin Lun thought, the headquarters of the "Wheel of Tianhua" is not in this area. He can even see the majestic building like a huge Ferris wheel through the orange shield in this area. That side is also covered by an orange-yellow shield, it is estimated that it should be the battlefield of the high-ranking apostles.
As for the branch of the "Wheel of Tianhua" in this area, at this time, Qin Lun also had a rough judgment in his mind.
It was a group of buildings that were severely damaged. Except for the central area, the surrounding buildings were scattered into a pile like building blocks that had been knocked down. Among the ruined walls, rusty and broken steel bars can be seen everywhere. Only a huge building in the central area still maintains a roughly complete architectural framework.
However, the building is more of a military fort than a mansion. It looks like a big pot upside down on the ground. The round building surface is full of potholes and suffered from the fire of war. The many breaches in the fort twisted and deformed, revealing the steel structure within.
The fortress is full of breaches, and the interior is dark, like a monster with its mouth wide open, quietly crawling on the ground, waiting for outsiders to come to the door.
At this moment, Qin Lun was crouching behind a pile of ruins, three pointers were beating slowly in the clock-shaped pupils. However, he was not observing the branch fortress of the "Wheel of Tianhua", but was scouting the dark corners around the fortress.
Qin Lun believed that among the apostles who deliberately searched for this branch, he should be the first group of people. However, it is difficult to guarantee whether any of the apostles who were randomly sent into the battle area by the Broken Starry Sky happened to be near this military restricted area.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun slowly retracted his body, quietly took out the wine bottle and took a sip for himself. In the past half a day, in order to find this place, he basically did not search for food and drinking water, and quenching his thirst with spirits was also a helpless move.
"It's almost getting dark!" Qin Lun looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "We've found the place. Before we go in, we need to make some preparations. The most important thing is to find something to eat!"
Qin Lun tiptoed back a certain distance, and disappeared at the end of the ruins in a flash.
On the wide asphalt road, a naive little beast poked its head out from the lush bushes beside the road, looked around vigilantly, then jumped to the middle of the road with all its strength. There, there was a dead mouse lying on its belly. There seemed to be some bloodstains beside it, exuding a strong bloody smell.
Just as the little beast opened its mouth to bite the dead mouse, there was a gust of wind flying over it. A big hand grabbed the little beast's neck like lightning, and lifted it up.
"Chirp!" The little beast screamed in panic, its cheeks puffed up, and there was a gust of wind elemental fluctuations around its mouth. It's just that the big hand that grabbed it twisted mercilessly, and the wind blade around the little beast's mouth was twisted off its neck before it took shape.
The eyes of this little beast are red, the fur is soft and thick, and the lips are divided into three petals. It is a rabbit of the wind element. Judging by the pair of sharp fangs poking out of its parted lip, though, the puppy-sized wind hare is presumably more than just a vegetarian.
"I actually met such a fat wind rabbit on the main road!" Qin Lun grinned, rejoicing in his heart, such good luck does not come often.
"Hey, that's not right!" Qin Lun was about to leave, but his heart suddenly moved, and his eyes swept across the ground, "Where was that dead mouse just now? Could it be..."
The pupils of Qin Lun's eyes instantly turned into clock shapes, and he slowly turned his head to look around. He originally thought that meeting this wind rabbit was purely due to luck, but now it seems that someone deliberately set a hunting trap. The dead mouse used as bait should be a kind of rodent summoner.
"There, come out for me!" Qin Lun lifted Fengtu's body, and threw it at a big tree by the side of the road. The body was still in the air, and with a shake of his left hand, the chain of claws shot towards the trunk of the big tree, while the palm of his right hand had already grasped the evil dagger at some point.
He didn't use light and darkness to mourn. Since the opponent arranged such a trap and avoided the detection halo, there must be follow-up measures. At this time, you must first entangle the enemy close to you, so as to disrupt the opponent's rhythm and create a chance for yourself to escape.
However, what Qin Lun didn't expect was that the opponent gave up the first attack and let him use the claw chain to get close to the big tree smoothly. After bypassing the big tree, a black shadow flashed in front of Qin Lun's eyes. He immediately swiped his right hand, and the sinful dagger sparked a black light in the air, piercing the black shadow's neck like lightning.
After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Qin Lun immediately paused, and the sinful dagger landed on the target's neck awkwardly.
This black figure was not the enemy in Qin Lun's imagination. His body was covered with black mud, his hair was disheveled, his limbs were as thin as sticks, and he was wearing a dirty and tattered T-shirt. Because of his small stature, an adult T-shirt was worn to his knees, like a dirty robe.
"Children!" Qin Lun slightly raised his eyebrows, looking at this "enemy" in surprise.
The child looked no more than seven or eight years old, and perhaps because he was too thin, his head seemed extremely large. He raised his head, staring blankly at Qin Lun with big black and white eyes. In the pupils that reflected the young man's face, there was no emotional fluctuation, just a lifeless indifference.
"Squeak!" Just as Qin Lun and the child were looking at each other, there was an anxious animal cry from the top of the tree.
Qin Lun put his left hand lightly on the back of the child's neck, looked up towards the top of the tree, and saw a rat-like animal with a big fluffy tail grinning at him.
"Squirrel! It turns out that it was the one who pretended to be dead on the ground just now!" Qin Lun looked down at the tree. There was a mud pit half a meter deep under the tree. At the bottom of the mud pit was a small slingshot and some sharp bamboo sticks. , he suddenly realized.
This trap should have been set by the child who kept the squirrel. He had been squatting in this mud pit just now. His breath was covered by the mud on his body. In addition to his thin stature, he managed to hide from Qin Lun's detection halo. If it wasn't for Qin Lun's careful attention to the disappearing dead squirrel, maybe he really wouldn't have been able to find this child.
Seeing the appearance of the squirrel, the child's calm eyes finally showed slight fluctuations, and the eyes staring at Qin Lun showed a pleading look.
Qin Lun smiled lightly, the sinful dagger that was attached to the child disappeared into his sleeve, bent over to pick up Fengtu's body, turned around and strode away. The wind rabbit's body was smashed against the big tree by him just now, and it was already a little broken, but after cleaning it, it was still edible.
Thinking that he had robbed a little orphan of food, Qin Lun felt a little strange in his heart, and turned his head to look behind him.
Just looking at it, the young man's face changed, and he saw that the child was kneeling under the big tree, holding a ball of mud and sucking it carefully, using his tongue to lick off the blood and meat left by the wind rabbit.
Qin Lun's heart twitched fiercely, his eyes were as red as blood, and a monstrous tyrannical aura exuded from his body. The child under the tree was shaken all over, holding the mud and froze there, trembling slightly, like a weak candle in a strong wind.
The tyrannical aura on Qin Lun's body disappeared immediately, the blood in his eyes slowly faded, and he regained his clarity. His eyes flickered in silence, and after making a decision, he came under the tree in a flash, held the child with one arm, and his figure slowly disappeared into the night.
…
"Eat it!" Qin Lun tore off a hind leg of the golden-roasted Wind Rabbit, and handed it to the orphan of the Holy City who was huddled in a corner.
The child hugged his knees indifferently, resting his chin on the knees, his pupils stared at the floor under his feet unfocused, without looking at Qin Lun.
Qin Lun curled his lips in boredom, spread a piece of cloth in front of him, and put the rabbit's legs on it. He turned back to the grill, stomped out the bonfire, and dealt with the remaining wind rabbit meat.
"Squeak!" The squirrel got out from under the child's loose T-shirt, sniffed the rabbit's legs, and whispered to its owner twice. Seeing that the owner didn't pay attention to it, he shrank his head and got back into the T-shirt, and actually resisted the temptation of barbecue.
The place where the two are now is a ruin about 300 meters away from the "Wheel of Tianhua" branch. After eating most of the wind rabbit, Qin Lun finally hiccupped, stood up again, leaned on the broken wall and looked out of the ruins.
"No matter how this world changes, the essence is the same. Only by bringing death to others can you survive! Sometimes, it is a very lucky thing to have the pity of others. The most terrible thing is that no one has pity on you!"
Qin Lun turned his back to the child and muttered to himself, "I'm leaving. If you're still here when the sun shines again...then follow me, let's live together and appreciate the death of others!"
"Crack!" A pair of small slingshots were thrown at the feet of the orphan in the holy city, and there was no one at the breach of the ruins.
After a long time, the child quietly raised his head, stretched out his little hand, and steadily grabbed the slingshot and roasted rabbit meat in front of him.
