This time the shock came stronger than ever.
The rope of the bare hammock broke, and she fell onto the rubbish on the ground. A seven or eight-year-old girl next to her screamed. Her mother hugged her and covered her mouth, lowered her head and began to cry silently.
"Maybe it's cracked again," Guangguang jumped up, touched the weapon behind his waist, and rushed to the window, "It's okay..."
By the time this sentence was finished, she had already seen the flickering fire outside the window, and could even feel the heat wave through the dilapidated curtains. In the main city where the temperature was constant, she had never felt such a temperature.
When I opened the curtains, my forehead was already beaded with sweat.
The fire on the black iron wasteland has already broken through the city boundary, rolling and moving forward slowly, as if several fire paths have been paved.
"What's wrong?" the girl's mother asked nervously holding the child.
"The fire broke through the city boundary," Guangguang quickly packed his things into his backpack, "It's not too fast, pack it up, I'll take you away."
"I dare not go out," the girl cried, "I'm afraid."
After the building of the Guangguang Entertainment Store completely collapsed, this was already the fourth place she changed to. In the center of District D, besides the mother and daughter, there was also a couple downstairs who followed her.
It's actually not bad here. The refugees have swept this area, and there are almost no living supplies, so no one will come here again. Although you have to go out every day to find food, at least the safety can be guaranteed.
Let's go again, let alone the girl doesn't want to, she doesn't want to either.
Every time they change places to live, the various scrambles and fights they have to go through, and the various tragedies they have to see make people shudder.
But they had to go. They were at the angle between two fire roads. Once the fire continued to develop, they would be caught in the middle and burned to death.
Guangguang tore off a curtain and tied it around the girl's wrist: "If you are afraid, use this to cover your eyes."
The couple downstairs ran up: "We need to change places immediately, it's too dangerous here."
"Go." Guang Guang nodded, took the girl's hand, and pulled her up from the ground, "Go to the traveler's side."
"Traveler?" Several people were stunned.
"A district is not allowed to enter," Guang Guang said. "The city guards and patrols don't care about refugees. The only place in the city that can go is the old shopping mall in district C."
"Where's Lost Valley?" the husband asked, "the cleaning team is there. Doesn't the cleaning team have a stronghold? They said the cleaning team will help the residents of the main city, and the bats also have supplies."
"It's too far away. The entrance to the city is full of refugees. It's difficult to walk across the Black Iron Wasteland, and the road is full of refugees," Guang Guang said. "My child can't get through."
The couple looked at each other, seemingly hesitant.
"If you want to go, we will separate." Guang Guang saw what they meant.
"Then you guys," the husband gritted his teeth, "take care, we want to try it over there."
"Take care." Guang Guang nodded.
The couple left through the back door, and the girl's mother looked at Guangguang: "If you..."
"Let's go, let's go to the old shopping mall," Guang Guang turned his head towards her, "I'm in the main city, I'm not going anywhere."
The girl's mother picked up the child and followed her, coming out of the ruins.
"Fire." The girl stared at the soaring flames all around, her face full of horror.
"We can't be burned," Guangguang looked around, only a few people ran past the intersection in panic, and the direction was also at the old shopping mall. She pointed to the intersection in front, "Our first goal now is to reach the intersection." intersection, let's go!"
After Guang Guang finished speaking, he rushed towards the intersection.
The girl's mother ran to the intersection as well.
"You two are amazing." Guang Guang gave the girl a thumbs up.
The girl smiled.
A piece of black object was swept by the heat wave, and hit the upstairs next to them, and then hit the side.
The girl's smile was instantly frightened and she closed her eyes.
Guang Guang glanced at it, it was a torn awning at the entrance of a small shop, and the price of the product was printed on it, she patted the girl's arm: "It's a shed, we are going to the next target, get ready ?"
The girl nodded.
"I'll go first, and it's your turn to be safe ahead." Guang Guang said.
"Be careful," said the girl's mother.
Every time there is a change in the crack, it will arouse the madness of the refugees. At this time, many people who are hiding often need to find a new hiding place, and they will return to the street with all their belongings. This is a good time to rob.
Every road and intersection that needs to be crossed may encounter danger.
Guang Guang saw the road clearly, and rushed out with all her strength. After crossing half a street, she hid behind the wall of a couch next to her.
After a few seconds, she poked her head out from behind the wall and beckoned to the girl's mother.
The girl's mother, holding the child, also rushed over here.
Guangguang kept staring around them.
When she saw a figure shaking above a dilapidated building by the side of the road, she jumped out from behind the wall, pulled out the weapon Li Liang gave her, and pointed it at the upstairs.
"Run!" Guangguang shouted to the girl's mother.
The girl's mother was holding the child and ran towards this side vigorously.
Two people jumped upstairs, and while still in the air, Guangguang pressed the shooting button.
A blue light flashed across, one person was hit in the leg, and fell into a pile of black fragments the moment he landed, the other person was stunned when he landed, many of the refugees had weapons, but the light attack could be seen Out is the official weapon.
"The main city cleaning team!" Guang Guang shouted, "You have been locked!"
The man turned around and ran into the cave next to him.
"I can't run anymore." The girl's mother was panting a little. Their food has not been enough these days, and the mother's food was given to the child. Now that she has run so twice, she is already weak. .
"Give me the child." Guang Guang said.
"I can run by myself," the girl whispered.
"You run too slowly," Guang Guang said, "Go to a safe place and help your mother run, okay?"
"Yeah." The girl nodded.
After running two more intersections, you can reach Area C, which is not too far from the old shopping mall. It still looks close, but the premise is that there is no interference in the middle.
Guang Guang picked up the girl, gritted his teeth and continued to charge.
As soon as she ran past two lampposts, she felt the vibration under her feet. Before she could react, she staggered a few steps and rushed to the lamppost across the street before stabilizing.
"Hold on to the lamppost!" Guang Guang hugged the lamppost and shouted back.
What she saw when she turned her head shocked her.
A flame-flaming crack was running across the middle of the street at a speed faster than a normal person could run, dividing the street into two, and it was still widening slowly.
The crack goes all the way in the direction of the dewdrops. Once it reaches the end, there is no other way to come over.
"Mom—" the girl cried out.
"Jump over!" Guang Guang roared, his voice cracked, "Jump over! You can still jump over now! Quick!"
Panting, the girl's mother ran two steps towards the edge of the crack, but was forced back by the flames.
"Jump!" Guangguang roared, and in a few seconds, if the crack continued to open, it would be impossible to jump over, and the two sides would no longer be able to stand.
But the girl's mother tried twice, but was unsuccessful. Her hair and clothes were burnt, and she knelt down on the ground, crying loudly.
Tiny cracks had begun to appear on the ground under her bare feet, and her face was sore from the fire, and she could even smell the burnt hair on her face. She couldn't stay here any longer.
"My name is Xiang Guang!" Guang Guang shouted over there, "The ID card is B4570335! You remember! I took the child to the old shopping mall! Find a way to find me!"
"Help me take care of her!" the girl's mother cried.
"You!" Guang Guang roared, "Come and find me! Did you hear that!"
"I heard." The girl's mother cried and replied.
"I'll wait for you!" Guang Guang let go of the lamp post, and ran forward amidst the girl's heartbreaking crying.
The crack suddenly appeared, and the refugees were also forced out at the same time, fleeing and chasing, as soon as Guang Guang ran around the corner, he felt that there were shaking figures all around him, and there were all kinds of terrified shouts.
"Sister!" The girl screamed in her ear.
Before Guangguang could turn her head, she felt kicked in the waist, and she fell heavily to the ground with the girl in her arms.
While falling, she supported the girl with one hand, and touched the weapon at her waist with the other.
Then the hand was stepped on severely.
"Cleanup team?" a man yelled with a strange smile.
"Yes." Guangguang doesn't care where the weapon is pointed at, she must protect herself first at this time, as long as she doesn't shoot at herself.
She hit the button.
A blue light flashed from under the man's feet, hitting a refugee who was walking towards this side.
"You want to die!" The man who stepped on her hand raised his arm.
Just staring at him, just a slap, it doesn't matter, as long as there is a chance, her weapon will fire again.
The moment the man's arm was thrown down, a silver light flashed across, and the man was thrown backwards, and fell to the ground motionless.
The refugees who were about to surround them stopped immediately.
Someone came out of the flames and black mist, and slowly raised the familiar weapon with blue light.
"The main city cleanup team, you have been locked, any action is a reason for me to shoot."
At some point, the caracal had silently appeared by the eaves behind them, lowered its body, and stared down.
"Lian Chuan!" There was a burst of exclamation from all around.
And without a second burst of exclamation, all the people disappeared into the surrounding ruins as quickly as when they came.
"Lian Chuan!" Guang Guang didn't even bother to get up, lying on the ground let out a cry with a happy cry.
"En." Lian Chuan responded.
"Boss!" Guangguang shouted again.
The boss jumped down and snorted.
"You still have children." Lian Chuan looked at the crying girl who was curled up beside Guang Guang.
"It's not mine," Guang Guang sat up and picked up the girl, "Her mother...is separated by the crack."
"You are..." Ning Gu came out from behind Lian Chuan, pointing at Guangguang, "Is that..."
"Little iron ball!" Guang Guang's eyes widened in shock, "Is it you, little iron ball! You were the one who overturned that person just now! Traveler's little iron ball!"
Lian Chuan slowly turned his head to look at Ning Gu: "... an iron ball?"
"Little iron ball!" Guang Guang corrected him, "Uncle Fan took him to my store!"
"Boss," Lian Chuan raised his chin at the boss, "You take Guangguang to the mall first, and we will go and see the crack with the traveler."
The caracal jumped over and walked past Guangguang, wrapping its tail around her leg, beckoning her to follow him.
A few travelers who came out with them went to the crack, and when there was no one around, Lian Chuan turned his head and looked at Ning Gu: "Little iron ball?"
"What's wrong," Ning Gu looked at him, "Little Trumpet!"
"You insisted on naming in one series." Lian Chuan said.
"You don't understand," Ning Gu said, "This name was given by Uncle Fan Lu, the former captain of your main city cleaning team."
Lian Chuan looked at him, and it took him a long time to reply: "Oh."
"Oh what?" Ning Gu said.
Lian Chuan didn't speak any more, turned his head and walked forward, walked a few steps and started laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Ning Gu chased after him, "Little Trumpet?"
"I didn't laugh at Little Trumpet," Lian Chuan said with a smile, "I laughed at Little Iron Ball."
"In the past, I didn't even have an expression," Ning Gu sighed, "Now, I can laugh in such a situation."
"It doesn't matter what the situation is," Lian Chuan said, "I don't need to worry about things that are a foregone conclusion. I just want to solve it. If the key is gone, it's gone. It might trigger something, good or bad, go do it." Make it clear, and get rid of it."
"Our destruction may have come earlier." Ning Gu whispered.
"I don't care," Lian Chuan said, "I always just hope that when it is destroyed, I can watch the world disappear. Now I am preventing this ending. For me, it is already satisfied."
The cracks extend from the outside of the main city to the dewdrops. There are four such cracks. The one mentioned by Guangguang is the fastest, and it has stopped at the edge of the dewdrops.
According to the news returned by the traveler, the other three are still on the edge of D area, slowly moving forward.
And the flames rising from the black iron wasteland caused the two cracks to suddenly increase in width, and the temperature inside Lost Valley began to feel rising.
The puppet army brought by E to the Black Iron Wasteland is already in place, just waiting for the scavenger to appear.
But now there is nothing but the raging fire, and the greatest chaos now is just the refugees who are stepping on their last days to vent their anger.
Lian Chuan and Ning Gu failed to find the girl's mother on the other side of the crack, and everyone in the fleeing crowd looked similar, panicked and desperate.
"If all the cracks are in place," Ning Gu stood on an iron frame that hadn't fallen down, looking around, "the main city will be torn into several pieces, how can we get through the cracks then?"
"We can only build bridges," Lian Chuan said, "Take people to those bridges at the city boundary. There are construction vehicles in the underground warehouse, and they can be taken out immediately. Liu Dong and the others are now sticking to Area A and will not move those construction vehicles. "
"Okay," Ning Gu turned his head to look at the firelight on the street, "What will be underneath these cracks?"
"Huh?" Lian Chuan turned to him.
"Has anyone ever thought about what's down there?" Ning Gu said, "The scavenger came out from here, what's down there?"
"The back building of the Internal Defense Department," Lian Chuan knelt down, picked up a scrap of iron, and drew on the floor under his feet, "There are several equipment warehouses."
"What do you mean?" Ning Gu also squatted down.
"The melting pipeline was built by the Ministry of Internal Defense," Lian Chuan said, "All the equipment is in the warehouse..."
"It's impossible to get it," Ning Gu immediately understood Lian Chuan's meaning, "Now there is fire everywhere, the people in the main city must first consider resisting the high temperature, and those equipments are absolutely guarded."
"We only need two sets," Lian Chuan continued to draw the terrain map on the ground, "Lost Valley doesn't need it, the nine wings can almost grow on the molten pipe, their modification is for this day, if travelers only operate on the ground , and don’t need it, they are all capable, I guess they would not want to wear such cumbersome equipment to go out to fight... "
"Only the two of us need it," Ning Gu looked at Lian Chuan, "I just said it casually, and I didn't mean to do it right away. I just raised a question. Don't cooperate without thinking right away. I'm a little scared. I Sometimes... not too brainy..."
"I also want to know," Lian Chuan said, "what's under the crack."
Ning Gu didn't speak.
"I saw the main city in Ye Xi's room where I couldn't get in or out," Lian Chuan said, "The main city is like an isolated island, just hanging in the darkness... I don't know if it's a real scene, or just The image that Ye Xi saw, but Ye Xi is a recorder, if that is his record... "
"Under the main city," Ning Gu said, "what is it?"
"Well," the black iron fragment in Lian Chuan's hand fell all the way down on the ground, drawing a long arrow, "What is the other side of the main city?"
"What's outside the black mist?" Ning Gu said.
"Although it's just a world that doesn't exist," Lian Chuan said, "it's not impossible to try."
"Try what?" Ning Gu watched.
"Go to the end of the world to see." Lian Chuan said.
