Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 50: Shock barrier (for collection)

Views:

In the clear stream, a cod swims nimbly in the water. To the east, the morning light leaped over the peaks and cast a golden light on the creek and the surrounding valleys. Cod moves after the light, yearning for the light, which is the instinct of life. However, when it swam to an area where the current was relatively calm, warning signs suddenly appeared. As soon as the cod flicked its tail, it wanted to swim away, but it was too late.

A sharpened wooden spear suddenly plunged into the stream and nailed it precisely on the cod. A white and slender hand grasped the wooden spear, and easily picked up the codtail. The codtail was still alive and kicking when it was thrown ashore. On the side, another of its kind has long lost its strength and is barely spitting out blisters.

Lucy clapped her hands, and quickly built a small stone barrier with the gravel she picked up. There is a hollow under the stone base, which can be stuffed with dead branches to make a fire. That way, the flames won't be too noticeable. Moreover, most of the high temperature and heat will be bound in the stone base, and then a wooden shelf will be set up on it, the fish will be removed from the internal organs, cut into fish fillets, and placed on it to use the temperature of the stone base itself for smoking and roasting, which will not lose a taste of the wild. delicious meal.

After putting the fillets on the simple grill, Lucy washed her hands in the stream water. She walked over to the fish again, turning the fillets carefully so they wouldn't burn. The cod gradually exuded its aroma. Normally, Lucy would have been drooling with greed, but now she seemed a little preoccupied.

The pursuit that night was going smoothly. If there is no accident, even An Si can kill him. But who knew that Ans had already built a circuit and activated the engraving, which made them fall short. After evacuating, they hid for a day. The continuous fighting made Allen hurt more and more. Especially in the end, Allen tried his best to break a gap in Ans' ability, and it even tore all the wounds the boy suffered in the battle with the violent wolf.

When Lucy re-cleaned his wound, Allen passed out directly because of his serious injury and the fact that his source power was almost exhausted. He didn't wake up until 12 hours later. After Allen woke up, they left the hiding place immediately, and then came to this valley to rest for another night. Now Alan's injury has improved, and Yuanli has almost recovered, but they still have little chance of winning.

An engraver, even a new engraver, can use the engraving ability to distinguish it from a source of power. That night, Anse proved as much. That strange energy vortex restricted their actions, and even if the final explosion couldn't kill them, it would still seriously injure them, which was not much different from being killed on the spot.

Originally, they had the chance to win. Now, the future is unpredictable.

Lucy turned the cod fillets sullenly, and heard footsteps in her ears. She raised her head, and saw Allen put on the defensive light armor again, and walked over with Kuantu. The left chest piece of the defensive light armor has been dented and cracked, which is Lu Sen's masterpiece. Fatty counterattacked when he was about to die, his fist strength was astonishing. If it weren't for the protection of light armor, Allen would have been seriously injured. From this we can see that Fatty's troublesomeness was due to the fact that Allen made a decisive decision that night and killed Lu Sen first.

Otherwise, now that Fatty and Ans with an engraving are allowed to join forces, the two of them may not even have a chance of winning.

"How's your injury?" Lucy asked.

Allen moved his arm, nodded and said, "It's almost there, is your grilled fish ready to eat? I'm almost starving."

Lucy picked up one of the pieces with a dagger and handed it to Allen. Seeing him eating with gusto, Lucy couldn't help but said, "It's hard for you to eat it."

"Why can't you eat it?" Allen had already eaten a piece of fish fillet quickly, and reached out to touch another piece without fear of being hot.

"Have you forgotten An Si? He is now an engraver!" Lucy said angrily.

Allen began to destroy the second piece of fish, eating his mouth full of oil, but he did not forget to say: "What about the engraver, he is not immortal, and he can always be killed. Now we must first fill our stomachs and feed our feet." Only then will you have the strength to deal with him."

"Are you always so optimistic?" Lucy rolled her eyes, this guy didn't seem to know how troublesome the engraver is to them now.

Allen showed a row of white teeth, and smiled: "When I realized that pessimism and sadness can't change the facts, I knew that I only had one option to be optimistic."

Lucy froze, she looked at Alan's smile, but felt a trace of sadness inexplicably. He who is about the same age as himself, what exactly did he have to go through to have the current understanding

"Hey, if you don't eat it, I will wipe it all out!"

Perhaps influenced by Allen's positive emotions, Lucy also felt that An Si was less troublesome. As soon as my mood improved, the glutton in my stomach screamed. Seeing that there were not many cod fillets left, the girl suddenly exclaimed, picked up a piece with the dagger and sent it to her mouth.

After the two happily finished their breakfast, they packed up their things and moved again.

In the afternoon, a tall and thin figure appeared in the valley. In the end, he stood where Alan and the two had eaten in the morning. The stone barrier is still there, and there is a faint residual warmth in the holes in the cracks of the stone. An Si laughed: "How far can you escape?"

He clapped his hands, turned around, and found some traces on the grassy slope nearby. After tracking down, two pairs of footprints were found. Then scattered traces led Ans to a forest several hundred meters away from the valley. The forest is very quiet, the afternoon sun leaves fine spots in the forest, and the air is full of the fragrance of grass and trees.

Ans followed the traces left by the two of Allen and hit a tree hole, and there seemed to be a long breathing sound in the tree hole. Ans sneered, took out his revolver, and fired several shots into the tree hole.

The gunshots startled the birds, and there were even more noises in the tree hole. Then two fluorescent lights came on, and just when An Si felt that something was wrong, a violent wolf rushed out of the tree hole, screaming and pounced on An Si.

"Damn it, I've been fooled!" An Si yelled angrily, dodging violent wolf's pounce nimbly, and shot him in the head again to knock him down.

Just after taking a breath, the low growl of a beast suddenly sounded behind him. Ans turned his head and his face became a little ugly. At least seven or eight saber-toothed wolves came out from behind the trees. They were obviously attracted by the calls of their own kind. There must be a wolf den nearby, otherwise there wouldn't be so many violent wolves appearing at the same time. The hateful thing is that after 24 hours, the nano-robots used to expel dangerous species have been excreted. Now, these violent wolves are not afraid of An Si, they just want to tear him apart!

"Like a gunshot?" Lucy looked up and listened.

Allen grinned and said: "It seems that my little arrangement has worked, and now Ans may dive into the wolf's den."

"I really hope he gets killed." Lucy said sincerely.

"That's impossible, at most it will cause him some trouble. To kill him, we still have to rely on ourselves. Well, let's do this." Alan kicked away a few pieces of gravel, and in front of him was a deep cave.

Li is a mountainous area to the south of the valley, with undulating slopes, complicated mountain roads, and many forks, like a maze. Allen chose this place on purpose, and even Lucy didn't know his intentions.

Allen has already drilled into the cave, which is long and secluded, as deep as ten meters. The inside is very dry, and the sun shines through the cracks in the mountain above, leaving beams of light inside. Allen turned around at the end of the cave, and after confirming that it was not the lair of some dangerous species, he sat down on his buttocks.

"You're going to hide here?" Lucy asked.

Allen nodded and said, "At least for now, we have to hide. Besides, I can't be disturbed by Ans for what I'm going to do next, so I have to hide temporarily."

"What do you want to do?" Lucy knelt down and asked angrily.

Pointing to himself, Allen said: "I'm going to try to build a circuit too. If it goes well, I can also activate the engraving, and I don't have to be afraid of him even if I fight head-on with Ans."

Lucy was overjoyed when she heard the words, she put her hand on his shoulder and said, "You already have nine vortexes? Good guy, don't tell me, I don't have to worry so much if I knew about it."

Allen smiled wryly and said, "I only discovered it this morning. It seems that Anse stimulated me enough that night, and it created a vortex."

"That's fine. With nine source vortexes, the first circuit can be constructed. Hurry up and let me show you." Lucy took out the automatic pistol and shook it.

"I'll try my best." Allen said, he was different from ordinary people. Even if you already have nine vortexes, you still have to break the first barrier of the source force, otherwise you will not be able to build a genetic circuit.

Lucy didn't know that he still had this level, so she patted him on the shoulder happily and said, "Do it well."

After all, she walked out of the cave to watch out for Allen.

Alan took a deep breath, even though Hughton said that it was best not to use that method, but now Alan has no choice, so he has to break the boat and put all his eggs in one basket!

He closed his eyes and relaxed his body. Just like when you ignite the fire that day, use your breath to settle your mind, and feel the source power in your body with your heart. Soon, Allen felt them. The source force vortex is like a small nebula that is constantly rotating, and it emits light and heat. When the ends of will brushed over them, Allen could feel the warm breath.

He started to activate the vortexes, allowing them to circulate and push the blood vessels in his body first. After repeating this for nine rounds, Allen could feel a slight sense of swelling all over his body, which was the phenomenon that the blood vessels had been completely dilated by the stimulation of the source force. This is just a warm-up. After the warm-up is over, we will enter the topic. He began to consciously push the source force vortexes to chase and collide with each other. When these vortexes flew by, their tails pulled out faint light tails, like small meteors.

Driven by Allen's will, the source force vortex began to collide. Every time there was a collision, Allen's whole body would shake slightly. After shaking nine times in a row, the vortexes almost reached each other, turning into a comet wrapped in flames from a small meteor, pushing out a long tail of flames at the tail, rushing towards the heart with a roar.

The critical moment finally arrived.

When this comet of origin force crashed into his heart, Allen immediately felt the existence of the invisible barrier. When the two collided with each other, it was like a turbulent wave hitting an extremely hard reef. Although the reef was constantly shaken by the huge waves, it was not smashed immediately.

As for Allen, there was a sudden pain in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spewed out when he opened his mouth!
