Melted City

Chapter 36

Views:

Nine Wings squatted in the center of the vertical hole, a metal stick inserted horizontally and deeply into the hole wall.

Another metal stick hanging above him in the same direction was vibrating slightly, making a slight hum.

"Traveler—" Suki's voice came from the depths below the shaft, "All of them have entered the main city—"

It was so full of air that the metal stick above it buzzed.

Nine Wings had no choice but to raise his arm, stretch out his finger prick, and tap lightly on the stick to stop the sound.

After the finger prick left, the metal stick was quiet for a few seconds, and then began to vibrate slightly and make a slight hum.

The vibration and sound came from the ground and from the direction of the main city. Only large-scale running and releasing ability would make such a movement.

Cars came and travelers flooded into the main city.

But this time, the preferred destination of most of their travelers is not Lost Valley, but the main city that has been at war for many years.

It was to find Ning Gu.

They knew that Ning Gu was unlikely to be still in Lost Valley.

Nine Wings is very unhappy that he can figure this out, which means that the traveler doesn't think that bats can trap Ning Gu in Lost Valley at all.

And he actually recognized it.

"Let's go too—" Su Xi shouted again from below.

The metal stick above was shaken so that it made a somewhat sharp buzzing sound.

Nine Wings jumped down from the air, landed beside Shouxi, and yelled into his ear: "Shut-mouth-"

"Don't you want to go?" Fulu asked, "The main city is too busy now, we can just go for a stroll."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and took a deep breath, closing his eyes: "I haven't smelled fresh air for a long time."

"Whoever wants to go, first share the good things you have hidden with your brothers, so as not to die." Jiuyi squatted on his metal pier, "It's not a war, just find Ninggu, you Do you think the main city has no time to deal with you little bats?"

"Then should we help Ning Gu?" Shouxi asked.

"If Lian Chuan can't help him," Jiu Yi squeezed his chin, "how can I help, why bother to offend the main city and the poet, we just wait for the cheap."

"Get cheap!" Shouxi shouted.

"Get cheap!" A group of bats shouted.

Nine Wings looked up.

"I want to go out." Ning Gu packed his small leather pocket and stood at the door.

"Wait a second," Fan Lu said, "Now that the travelers have just entered the main city, it is the time when the firepower is at its strongest. It is too dangerous to go out."

"That's why I have to go out," Ning Gu pointed to the door, "There are my companions outside! I have to go out and help!"

"You are going to die, you are going out to drag them down," Fan Lu looked at him, "What you have to do now is to wait for this wave to pass, after the main city's attention is attracted by the travelers, the boss and I will find a way The hidden road will take you out of the city to get on the bus."

"You are asking me to use them as a shield." Ning Gu's voice sank suddenly.

"You have to protect yourself first," Fan Lu said, "You stayed with Lian Chuan for a few days, didn't you learn anything?"

"I didn't learn it," Ning Gu said, "Let him learn from me."

Fan Lu laughed for a while before clapping his hands: "Let me ask you, before you go out and find the traveler, what should you do if you meet the city guard and the security team?"

"Fight!" Ning Gu said.

Fan Lu didn't speak, but looked at him.

"Run." Ning Gu said again.

"Even if you can run away," Fan Lu said, "after you find the travelers, they will cover you and get on the car. The weapons in the main city are updated from generation to generation. The update benchmark is the abilities of the travelers. You think they are fighting and protecting you at the same time. , what are the chances of winning?"

Ning Gu didn't speak.

"Have you figured it out?" Fan Lu asked.

"Do you think the leader and the others rushed into the main city," Ning Gu said, "did you ever think about protecting yourself?"

Fan Lu tilted his head.

"Have you thought about the consequences?" Ning Gu looked at him, "Travelers never think about the consequences, they fight when they want, run when they want, and do whatever they want. This is the difference between us and those in the main city. If you die, you will die, what’s the big deal.”

Fan Lu was silent for a while, didn't speak again, but stepped aside from the door, and made a gesture of invitation to him.

"Thank you for taking care of me these days." Ning Gu pulled his clothes, opened the door and went out, "Although I didn't listen to you, I know you want me to live."

"They're all going to die," Fan Lu said, "Go ahead."

Ning Gu didn't look back, just waved towards the back, and then ran forward with big strides.

It's not that you don't think about anything, because after thinking about it, you will make a decision that best suits the traveler.

Ning Gu ran into the stairs leading to the ground.

The car didn't know when it would leave, and the people didn't know where they were. The group leader and the others didn't have time to search slowly, so they chose to rush into the main city directly. With such a big commotion, people could be alarmed anywhere.

And what he has to do is also the simplest, go out immediately and meet the leader.

Ning Gu jumped onto the railing.

Whether you will run into people in the main city, whether you can fight or run away, and what to do if you are delayed are all things that don't need to be considered.

Landing, he looked around.

Let's talk about it.

"I didn't see a hyena." Li Xiang jumped out from the second-floor platform of a dilapidated house.

With a wave of his hand in the air, several beams of red light exploded a spark five meters away from the middle of the street, and he blocked the city guard's attack.

A few travelers jumped off behind him, and their abilities were activated at the same time.

The ground was instantly shattered, the fragments flew into the air, and then became metallized. When the leader rushed forward, the fragments were all metallized, and shot towards the security team ahead at an extremely fast speed following the direction he rushed out.

The security team opened the defensive net, but someone was still hit and flew more than ten meters before falling to the ground.

Travelers took advantage of this gap and jumped down from the houses in large numbers, spreading across the entire street and rushing forward.

The windows of the houses on both sides were instantly shattered by the simultaneous activation of abilities, and two walls that were not strong enough fell down, and smoke and dust filled the streets for a while.

"The hyena must have other missions," he said, "maybe it has something to do with Ningu."

"Did Lin Fan find anything?" Li Xiang asked.

"Before the communication was cut off, he said that he hadn't found it," said the head of the group. "He still went to the old warehouse to join us as planned."

When a large number of travelers rushed forward, orange lights suddenly flashed behind the buildings on both sides.

"Patrol!" someone yelled.

Li Xiang quickly opened up his defenses, but the firepower of the patrol was scattered. He failed to block all the attacks, and several travelers fell to the ground.

"Go up!" The leader waved his arm.

The huge shock spread from under the feet, and the platform occupied by several patrol members was directly shaken and fell from downstairs.

The travelers screamed and scrambled upstairs to meet the patrol's fire.

"They are not afraid of death." Liu Dong stood in front of the screen with arms folded.

"This is mindless," Xiao Lin frowned, and pressed the communicator, "Don't let them go to the old warehouse, the people brought by Lin Fan will meet them there!"

"As soon as they meet, that area will fall immediately," Liu Dong said, "These people are more familiar with the old warehouse than we are."

"You don't need to tell me," Xiao Lin glanced at him, then turned to look at his subordinates, "What are the city guards doing! Why are they so scattered! They are accusing the officers!"

"City Guard is under the personal command of Minister Chen." The subordinate replied.

Xiao Lin gritted his teeth, and the tendons in his forehead twitched: "Where is the cleanup team, just one Lian Chuan's coffin, do you need the whole team to go to the funeral?"

"You can contact Captain Lei," Liu Dong said, "but don't get your hopes up too much. Lian Chuan's car was snatched by him with someone. He is probably afraid that we will make trouble in the middle of sending it there. Let his people carry the trip now." Or, I'm afraid he won't do it."

"I will report to the higher authorities after this matter is over," Xiao Lin said, "I don't think Lei Yu is suitable to be the captain of the cleaning team anymore, it's too sentimental!"

Ning Gu is still confident in his ability to hide from people. Fan Lu is right, he can't fight any armed forces in the main city, and he can't even run away.

So just hide away.

Based on his experience in the ghost town... Ning Gu heard movement around the corner, and after standing against the wall, he slowly stretched out the small mirror he took from Fan Lu from the corner to have a look.

Two men in uniform were walking with their backs to this side, their weapons glowing red.

It is city guard.

Ning Gu quickly retracted the small mirror.

He didn't wait for the city guard to go far before coming out, but chose another road. Anyway, he didn't know the road, and he didn't have a predetermined route. He just followed the smoke, dust and fire in the distance.

However, he originally thought that the cleanup team would be the first thing he would encounter after he came out. After all, every time travelers entered the main city, only hyenas would bite them to death. Hyenas had the strongest equipment and weapons.

This is a bit strange.

What about hyenas

He slowly scrambled to the corner on the other side, but he didn't hear any sound. When he was about to turn out, there was a low and short guttural sound from the roof opposite.

When Ning Gu looked over, he saw two bundles of small black hairs on the boss's ears on the top of the balcony guardrail.

Then the boss poked his head out and shook his head slightly.

Ning Gu understood that it was letting him into the building, out of the correct judgment of his strength, he quickly crossed the street without hesitation, and jumped into the opposite building from the window.

Then I heard a sound outside, and several patrolmen drove out from the corner he was about to leave.

But the situation in the building also startled Ning Gu.

This is a building that is still in use. There are several rows of shelves in the place where he jumped in. A dozen residents of the main city are squatting among the shelves, looking at him in horror.

"Hush." Ning Gu raised his index finger.

Everyone didn't move, and some of them lowered their heads when he glanced over.

The unarmed residents of the main city looked extremely helpless when facing travelers.

Ning Gu originally wanted to intimidate a few more words, but hesitated for a second and still didn't speak, a little unbearable.

After seeing his surroundings clearly, he ran over and jumped up the stairs.

Before I was halfway up the stairs, something crashed behind me, and someone shouted out the window: "Patrol! There's a traveler here—"

Ning Gu frowned, and rushed upstairs quickly, the figure of the boss flashed past him, ran back, and he hurriedly followed.

The boss knew the way very well, and led him to jump out from the back of the building, enter another building, exit through the side door, and ran into a small street.

I have to say that the boss is worthy of being Lian Chuan's partner. He runs like a shadow with amazing speed. If Ning Gu hadn't been chasing and fighting people in ghost towns and being beaten and escaped all day long, he might not be able to keep up. Boss can be seen flashing around the corner.

After running for a few streets, Ning Gu heard a clear explosion when he rushed from the front door of a warehouse to the street.

A few hundred meters ahead, nearly half of the buildings on both sides of the street have collapsed, and the ground is also covered with deep cracks and various potholes.

The smoke and dust rolled up in all directions almost covered the daylight of the main city.

"You don't want to go there, I'll go by myself," Ning Gu turned around, "You..."

The boss is gone.

It seems that there is no plan to send him there.

Ning Gu gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, saw the road ahead, and rushed out.

He wanted to find the regiment leader as soon as possible and let them retreat. The armed forces in the main city are quite strong. I don’t know why, but the hyenas didn’t show up today. If hyenas were added, few travelers who came today would be able to return to the ghost city. up.

There were still two streets away from the scuffle in front, Ning Gu saw the city guard, and he quickly hid in the next house.

Half of the house had collapsed, and there was no one inside. Ning Gu planned to pass above this row of houses, which was safer than the street.

After running to the top of the building, Ning Gu poked his head out carefully to have a look.

Before he could move, he saw a blue light flickering from the corner of his eye.

A red dot landed on his shoulder.

It's over.

Met a hyena

Ning Gu turned his head slowly, and in the corner of the roof, a hyena was looking at him behind the scope.

This scene is very familiar.

It's a pity that the other party is not Lianchuan.

Ning Gu didn't know what he should do at this time, he was not Lian Chuan, he couldn't be faster than a weapon, once locked...

The hyena's gun angled down a little, and a blue flash flashed.

Ning Gu's shoulder and right arm suddenly felt a huge pain.

Just like when Lian Chuan shot him in the leg back then, the pain rushed across half of his body in an instant, and he could even feel the long path, from shoulder to arm, through the heart.

I couldn't breathe, my chest seemed to be put in an iron hoop, and I couldn't breathe at all.

It's over.

Ning Gu felt a little gray in front of his eyes.

It's over.

Ning Gu didn't fall down, just like what surprised Lian Chuan last time, he struggled to climb up the platform, staring at the hyena that was still aiming at him.

bring it on.

Who is afraid of whom

If you don't hit me until I can't move, don't even try to catch me.

Ning Gu gritted his teeth, stood up, and stared at the opponent's scope.

A gust of wind suddenly swept by, and the surrounding debris was lifted up.

There is very little wind in the main city, and the wind is different from the wind in the ghost town and the Black Iron Wasteland.

There’s no biting chill, and there’s not quite as much punch.

It was as if something flew by quickly, creating a vortex in the air.

The hyena seemed to freeze, neither firing nor moving.

Ning Gu saw that the muzzle of his gun slowly began to sink.

Without hesitation or thinking for a second, Ning Gu turned around and rushed two steps, jumped out from the edge of the platform, and landed on the platform of the next building.

The pain in his shoulder hadn't subsided yet, but running for his life was the top priority now, even if his shoulder was broken, he still had to run.

A few seconds later, he was on the platform of the third building. The house in front had completely collapsed, and he had to return to the ground.

He knew that he hadn't run out of the range of the hyena weapon, and he didn't know why the hyena behind him didn't fire a second shot.

But he didn't care to think about it, he could already see a shaking figure in front of him, it was a traveler.

Ning Gu rushed to the edge of the platform and jumped down.

The piercing pain in his leg struck again, and when he landed, he fell heavily on the rubble.

When he was struggling to get up, someone grabbed his arm, and then he was lifted from the ground.

"Why are you here!"

A familiar voice, a familiar tone.

Is the head.

"I..." Ning Gu gritted his teeth and rubbed his legs vigorously twice. Before he could turn his head to look at the leader, he saw an orange light flashing in the room directly in front of him.

At least four or five patrols!

The leader turned his back to the room and didn't notice.

And Li Xiang, who could hold up the defense, didn't seem to be around.

In desperation, Ning Gu slammed the head of the group behind him, subconsciously raised his hand, trying to block the attack.

It seems that something huge is passing by the front.

Stirring the air, swirling with a gust of wind...

The orange light did not fire.

Ning Gu didn't know what happened, but he immediately knew that this was the only chance, so he grabbed the leader's collar and yanked it aside.

The head of the group seemed to be asleep, and he ran out for a long way without saying a word.

a few seconds later...

Three seconds, one, two, three... Ning Gu counted in his heart.

Three seconds later, several beams of orange light hit the place where they were standing before, the crackling sound was deafening, and large sparks burst out of the black smoke.

"This way!" The regiment leader pulled him into the alley next to him, swung him behind an iron can in the corner, and then leaned against the wall to pick up the communicator, "We found it, Li Xiang came to cover, Lin Fan took everyone People walk from the east side of the old warehouse, go out through the loading and unloading area, and there are only two teams of city guards there."

After the group leader finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Ning Gu with a strange look in his eyes.

"Team leader..." Ning Gu regained his strength and looked at him, unable to tell what it was like, worry, fear, joy, and vague uneasiness.

"Follow me," said the captain, "we will take you back."

Li Xiang quickly joined them at the intersection, and there were more than a dozen travelers behind him. Ning Gu saw Sister Qi with a gray face.

Before everyone had time to ask, they had to rush out of the old warehouse before the encirclement circle with disrupted firepower in the main city was formed again.

Ning Gu silently followed in the middle of the team, rushing forward with his head buried.

Sister Qi didn't know when she ran to his side, panting and asked in a low voice: "Is it okay?"

"It's okay." Ning Gu nodded.

This time when the main city hit the main city, many travelers were injured or injured. Ning Gu didn't know who came and who couldn't go back. He only knew that among the more and more travelers who gathered together, many of them were injured. was dragged away by companions.

Some dragged halfway and couldn't continue and were thrown on the side of the road.

Li Xiang threw a coat over, but Ning Gu caught it, put it on himself, and put the hood of the coat on his head.

Anyway, the main city must already know by now that Ning Gu is among the travelers.

He had to hide himself well.

The breakthrough judged by the group leader was accurate, because without the main team of hyenas, after the encirclement was destroyed, as long as the travelers did not stop, the city guards and the security team would not be able to outflank them again. They could only chase them, not intercept them.

But when they rushed out of the main city, they could no longer retreat from the original road, they could only walk along the main road.

The last passage is the bridge, the garrison point of the city guard, and there is no other way to pass it except forcibly charging.

The travelers screamed and rushed to the bridge.

In an instant, several beams of red light shot out.

All the travelers with defensive capabilities are scattered in the team, resisting attacks from all angles.

Ning Gu was kept between him and Li Xiang by the group leader. When they reached the bridge, the group leader pushed him towards Sister Qi and whispered in his ear: "Don't use your ability."

Ning Gu was stunned.

"Qi! Protect him," said the team leader.

"Don't worry!" Sister Qi shouted.

What ability

In the confusion, Ning Gu rushed up to the bridge and ran forward.

Is that three seconds

"Front!" Sister Qi shouted, "The old ghost blasted the one on the top—"

"Okay—" the traveler named Old Ghost also shouted.

What happened in three seconds

With a bang, a bridge pillar fell down.

How did it happen

The travelers cheered as the wind suddenly blew in front of them.

This is the gust of wind that belongs to the black mist area, with the chill that can penetrate the body.

They left the range of the main city alive.

"Oh hoo—" Sister Qi screamed.

After shouting, he gasped and coughed.

Ning Gu patted her on the back, and when he raised his head, he saw the looming train in the black mist.

"Ambush carefully." Lin Fan's voice sounded.

Everyone immediately formed a circle and slowly approached the train.

Ning Gu couldn't see anyone around, but he had a strong feeling that someone was watching them secretly.

"What is this?" shouted the traveler who was the first to reach the train.

The travelers, who were still immersed in nervousness, instantly changed from nervousness to curiosity. The team suddenly became a mess, and they all squeezed past the train.

Many jumped directly onto the roof.

Ning Gu couldn't care about anything else, he pushed aside the crowd a few times and squeezed to the front of the carriage.

In the middle of the car, there is a long black box quietly.

There are flashing blue dots on the box.

After the travelers gradually quieted down, they could hear the low sound of the box.

Drip, drop.
