"The tongue is really gone!" someone shouted.
When the travelers following the group leader and Li Xiang heard this sentence, there was a commotion, and all the people turned on the cold light bottle almost at the same time and raised it together.
Usually patrols can only vaguely see the edge of the tongue, suddenly became much clearer.
And the thick black fog that had already approached the eyes stunned everyone.
The position they are standing at now is the tip of the tongue, a safe distance when approaching the bay of the tongue, there are generally only sporadic aborigines, and most of the aborigines are rarely close to the edge of the dense fog.
The once safe distance no longer exists with the disappearance of the Tongue Bay sign.
"Check along the edge of the fog," said the regiment leader.
"Be careful." Li Xiang turned his head and looked at the travelers behind him, "Don't get too close together, just make sure you can take care of each other."
The team began to check for abnormalities along the same direction, and the team leader glanced at Li Xiang: "Go and take care of them, and I'll check the basement."
"Let's go together," Li Xiang said, "the team has a strong defense following."
"There will be no problem here. Now that the thick fog has pushed so much, the old ghost must have discovered it," said the leader, "He should let his little friend push him here. If he is here …”
"It's still necessary to ensure safety," Li Xiang insisted. "The old ghost's thoughts are stronger than Lin Fan's. It's good that the ghost town has not changed. Once it starts, it will be difficult to ensure that people's hearts will not change."
"I thought I was the only one who was suspicious," the leader didn't refuse any more, and walked into the thick fog, "Since when did you become so suspicious?"
"Since the aborigines were infected by the experimental body sent from the main city..." Li Xiang said, "We really have no allies."
"Blame me." The head said.
"No one can judge right from wrong," Li Xiang said, "No one can judge what is better. There are no ifs, no assumptions, and you can't turn your head. You will know the answer at the end, right?"
This is what the team leader said when he decided to start cooperating with the main city.
Although the relationship with the main city has obviously begun to break down, this sentence still applies to Li Xiang.
Nothing unusual could be heard in the wind, and the feeling of the black mist was no different from usual.
It's just because the relative position of the basement has moved a few hundred meters inward, and the time it takes to stay in the thickest fog is much longer than usual.
After walking for a while, the captain stopped.
"Feel it?" he asked.
"Shock? I feel it." Li Xiang also stopped.
This faint vibration.
"Also." said the captain.
Li Xiang didn't speak, but stopped on the spot for a while, then slowly squatted down, and pressed his hands on the ground.
"It's warm." Li Xiang frowned.
Ghost towns are cold. Although travelers have already adapted, the cold ground in the cold wind is still the most intuitive feeling for everyone. In order to be able to sit on the ground at any time, many travelers will add an extra layer on the buttocks Thick material.
But now, the temperature of the ground has changed.
It's no longer icy cold, although it's not warm, but at least it's higher than the cold wind.
"I didn't feel this way when I was outside," said the head of the group.
"Yes," Li Xiang stood up, and continued to walk in behind him, "There must be some major changes in Tongwan, should we find the old ghost first?"
"Well," the leader nodded, "see if you can call him out near the basement, if not..."
"If it doesn't work, bring someone back." Li Xiang said.
The leader looked back at him: "Are you afraid?"
"The exit has not yet appeared, but the destruction may have already begun," Li Xiang said, "Everything must be cautious at this time."
"Maybe what Lin Fan said is right." The leader smiled and continued to walk towards the basement. "There is no exit at all."
"I can't turn back," Li Xiang said, "I never thought about turning back."
The gate of the basement appeared in front of their eyes. Judging from this distance, the advancement of the thick fog was indeed not an illusion, and it could be confirmed again from the geographical location.
The two surrounded the gate of the basement and checked it. There was nothing unusual about the door, and nothing unusual was found around it.
Except temperature.
The temperature of the ground here has also changed, it is no longer icy black iron.
But soon they discovered the second abnormal thing, the surrounding area was too normal.
Wind, black mist, cold.
Nothing.
Not a single native voice was heard.
No neighing from their throats, no babble they used to communicate with their companions as they wandered around...
There is no aborigine around.
This is the biggest anomaly.
The leader raised the cold light bottle, put his finger to his mouth, and blew a loud whistle.
The whistle is clear and clear, even in such a strong wind, it can be heard far away.
After the whistle disappeared, they still heard the monotonous sound of the wind.
The head blew a second time.
Li Xiang turned his head slowly, paying attention to the movement around him.
When the commander's third whistle sounded, the sound of iron chains being dragged across the ground came from the wind deep in Tongue Bay.
The familiar voice made both of them heave a sigh of relief.
No matter what, no matter what the leader did to the old ghost, the old ghost would still let them breathe a sigh of relief.
But two seconds later, they also discovered that the sound of the iron chain was different from usual.
The voices of the Aboriginal people who accompanied me were gone.
There was no sound of those children helping to push the black iron stake to follow the old ghost.
"He broke the chain." The leader and Li Xiang leaned together almost at the same time.
Li Xiangyi raised his hand to support his defense.
The iron chain was specially made. Lin Fan's work was originally used to control the aborigines. No one thought that one day it would be used on the old ghost, and no one thought that one day the old ghost would break the iron chain.
Life and death.
In addition to life and death, they also know each other better. The old ghosts who have all the abilities of the aborigines, once they are not restrained, they may not be opponents together.
A tall black figure slowly came out of the thick fog, the light from the cold light bottle hit him, and a bigger shadow was reflected in the thick fog behind him.
"Looking for me?" The old ghost stood still, his hoarse voice drifting over brokenly in the wind.
"What happened?" said the regimental leader. "The ground temperature is wrong."
"That's all," the old ghost gasped twice, "It's gone."
"Where are your children?" Li Xiang asked, "Have they all taken refuge?"
The old ghost laughed: "Why, the children are waiting for you."
As soon as this sentence was said, the head of the group and Li Xiang confirmed that the appearance of the old ghost was not only because of the whistle.
The head of the group raised his arms and pressed down, the air waves rolled up from his feet rolled around, the black mist was lifted, and the old ghost was pushed out more than ten meters with this powerful air wave.
Following Li Xiang's defensive arousal, he stood in front of the old ghost.
"This is your last chance." The old ghost squatted down slowly, touching the ground with his hands, "Does this sound familiar? Commander."
"It's not good for everyone to start a conflict at this time," said the head of the group.
"Whenever there is a conflict, there is no benefit," the old ghost said slowly with a hoarse voice, "but the conflict will always be..."
"What chance?" Li Xiang asked.
"Seal the basement," the old ghost said, "This is the last chance."
"The things in the basement haven't been activated yet," said the team leader.
"I have seen Ning Gu," the old ghost gasped, "he has grown up."
Li Xiang frowned suddenly.
"I want to catch him, but..." The old ghost smiled, stood up slowly, and looked down at the ground, "There is a hyena following him... If there is no hyena, I will have caught him... You protect him well Too kind, too naive, too generous..."
"You'll never catch him," said the captain, "I won't let you touch him."
"Really?" The old ghost suddenly raised his head and stared at the leader, "He will come by himself in a while."
The leader didn't speak, but just pressed his arm fiercely again.
This time, what rolled up from under his feet was no longer the air wave, but the black iron ground shattered by the air wave. Countless sharp fragments flew up and flew towards the old ghost.
While Li Xiang was defending, he also released an attack. The fragments accelerated sharply in the air, cut through the wind, and hit the old ghost with a sharp whistling sound.
However, the old ghost slowly raised his leg against the debris and took a step.
Most of the debris that hit his body instantly turned into dust, raising black smoke and dissipating in the wind, and his second step directly broke through Li Xiang's defense.
The vibration under his feet suddenly came again, which was much stronger than what he felt before.
"The time is just right," the old ghost's hoarse voice sounded, "Come on, my life-and-death friend."
When the huge explosion sound came, Ning Gu was sleeping on the ground beside the door.
He didn't sleep too soundly, and he opened his eyes suddenly when he heard the sound.
But after all, there was Lian Chuan in the room who didn't need reaction time. Before he got up, Lian Chuan stepped on his back, opened the door and rushed out.
You still have to choose a suitable place to sleep, not by the door...
Ning Gu quickly jumped up, and then rushed to the door: "What is it..."
There is no sound until the words are finished.
In the direction of Tongwan Bay in the distance, the black mist seemed to be avoided by something, and patches of electric light continuously flashed from the bottom to the top of the crack.
"That's Tongue Bay," Ning Gu's voice trembled when he spoke, "The regiment leader, Li Xiang, and the patrol team are still in Tongue Bay."
"Where is my uniform?" Lian Chuan asked.
"It's locked in the box." Ning Gu reacted immediately, turned around and ran into the house. Lian Chuan's uniform was put in a box by the regiment leader and handed over to him for safekeeping. Only his fingerprints could open it.
Whenever Lian Chuan puts on the uniform, they will all know that it is the box that Ning Gu opened.
Ning Gu took out his uniform and threw it to Lian Chuan: "Are you going to take advantage of the fire to rob them, or are you going to help them?"
Lian Chuan quickly changed into his uniform, and after the blue light on the uniform flashed, he glanced at Ning Gu: "Ask now?"
"That's right," Ning Gu said, "You want to tell me, am I wrong about you?"
"No." Lian Chuan pressed the button on the side of the trouser leg, and a small cover popped open on the side of the uniform leg, and he took out a small thing with blue light from it.
The four circles are connected together, each circle has a sharp point, and he put this thing on his left hand.
"You still have this thing?" Ning Gu was a little surprised, "What happened, can this thing be useful?"
"Why don't you ask the head of the group if there are any other weapons in the box that sent me here." Lian Chuan shook his left hand, and four blue light spots fell on the wall next to him.
Then his hand pressed down, and the blue light point went down.
Four cracks were instantly drawn on the wall.
"Okay!" Ning Gu shouted quickly, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes a few times, "There's a leak! Next time, don't show weapons in the room!"
"Don't go there." Lian Chuan let go of his hand and walked out the door.
"What?" Ning Gu was stunned.
"That old ghost," Lian Chuan turned to look at him, "I can't believe it, have you ever wondered why the regiment leader Li Xiang and Lin Fan care so much about you?"
The facade of my ghost town.
"... I don't know," Ning Gu frowned, "it might be my parents... but no one mentioned my parents..."
"If you are important to them," Lian Chuan said, "it is equally important to the old ghost. Don't give away your head."
Lian Chuan walked out the door, and Ning Gu ran out after him.
He stopped and turned his head to look at Ning Gu: "I will not hurt the leader and the others."
"I know you won't," Ning Gu also looked at him, "but I can't shrink here."
There was a loud noise from the shelter, and travelers could be seen jumping and running on the roof.
Something happened in Tongwan, their leader and a large number of their companions were in Tongwan, everyone rushed out of the shelter and ran towards Tongwan without any order.
"No matter what the leader and Li have done to them, no matter what differences they have within," Ning Gu said, "They are the elders who raised me, and they gave me everything I have."
Lian Chuan looked at him without speaking.
"Unless you tie me up in the house or break my leg, I will crawl over." Ning Gu said.
Lian Chuan's arm moved.
"How dare you!" Ning Gu immediately took a step back and stared at him.
"Let's go," Lian Chuan turned around, "Traveler Ning Gu."
This time Lian Chuan didn't catch him and flew, there were many travelers running around, and Ning Gu didn't want to cause misunderstanding.
And he also wanted to see clearly what was going on, not just the tongue.
"The ground is cracked! Dodge carefully!" Someone yelled in front of him when he ran to the metal cemetery.
Ning Gu tightened his collar.
A few seconds later he saw a large metal cemetery that had been illuminated by lightning.
A crack several meters wide passed through the metal cemetery, and the flashing electric light was wrapped in the black mist and rushed straight into the sky, as if it was about to tear the black mist apart, and it was hidden at a height of nearly 100 meters. In the black mist.
A traveler cautiously approached the crack, and a flash of lightning struck his body. He didn't even have time to make a sound, and he turned into a piece of debris in the strong wind and disappeared.
"Don't get close to these lights," Lin Fan's voice came from behind, and it was the first time Ning Gu heard him yelling in such a high voice, "Everyone is grouped into training formations, gather first before moving at Tongwan, and wait for my order .”
"Received—" the travelers roared, and when they ran forward again, they began to slowly find their team members on the way.
"Ning Gu go back." Lin Fan walked over.
"No." Ning Gu replied very simply.
"We may not be able to keep you safe." Lin Fan said.
"I can do it myself." Ning Gu said.
Lin Fan glanced at him: "From now on, every decision you make will have no turning back."
"I won't look back." Ning Gu said.
When Lian Chuan stretched out his hand, Ning Gu grabbed his collar and trouser waist: "Please pull your arm."
Lian Chuan grabbed his arm, obviously not too hard, before he could react, Lian Chuan grabbed his wrist.
this feeling...
It's more like flying.
Lian Chuan did not walk on the ground. In the metal cemetery, there are countless broken machines and shelves of unknown origin, high and low, like huge tombstones.
Lian Chuan pulled him forward on these "tombstones".
There is the whistling wind in my ears, and a corner of the ghost town that has never been so bright before my eyes, and I can see cracks that are constantly flashing with lightning when I look down.
The ghost town suddenly felt strange.
Lian Chuan kept moving forward along the crack.
Some parts of the crack are very narrow, only a palm, and some parts are several meters wide, extending from the Bay of Tongue, as if to tear the ghost town in half.
They reached the Bay of Tongues ahead of all the traveling reinforcements.
Tongue Bay has changed, completely lost the appearance in memory.
There are several cracks here, protruding from the depths of Tongue Bay, the black mist is still there, but under the large black mist, the flashing lightning seems to break through the encirclement at any time.
"Go to the basement," Ning Gu said. "The basement is full of travelers. If something happens, the team leader must go to the basement immediately."
"There are no aborigines nearby," Lian Chuan said. "There must be some big changes."
"Are you sure?" Ning Gu said.
"No," Lian Chuan said, "but I can bet."
"Gambling?" Ning Gu asked.
"I've already gambled once on Lost Valley," Lian Chuan said, rushing into the bay of tongue, "You are the best, let me win every bet."
