"Ning Gu!" Someone was slapping his face.
Ning Gu felt his mind went blank, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't know what happened.
"Ning Gu!" Someone slapped him across the face.
Ning Gu opened his eyes, and everything in front of him was spinning.
Firelight, black mist, and a few faces...
The surrounding voices began to pour into his ears from far to near.
The humming, the shouting, the crackling of the burning fire.
Finally, I saw the faces in front of me clearly, the leader, Lei Yu, Chun San, Jiu Yi, and the bats that carried him.
The one who slapped him just now must be Jiu Yi, if there is a chance, he will slap Jiu Yi nine times...
Wait a minute, where is this
Black Iron Wasteland, bats... Lost Valley.
He is back
What about those glowing codes? What about the air duct? What about that face
Ning Gu's eyes widened suddenly, staring at the face shaking in front of his eyes.
"Lian Chuan." He said.
All the faces in sight were silent and solemn, and no one paid attention to him.
"Where's Lian Chuan?" He asked.
"You guys come here," Jiu Yi said, "I'll come out after I've settled down, Black Ring, you take away the two teams first."
"Where's Lian Chuan?" Ning Gu asked again, his voice was hoarse, maybe no one heard him.
"Okay," Lei Yu said, "Let's press down to the city boundary first, cut them off, and your people, commander, come up from behind."
"Understood," said the captain, "keep in touch."
Lei Yu and the head of the group left with the people. Before leaving, the head of the group touched his head lightly.
Nine Wings led people to carry him into the Valley of Lost.
"Where's Lian Chuan? Jiuyi," Ning Gu felt his body was heavy and he couldn't move anywhere. He turned his eyes and saw Fu Lu Shouxi who was following with his head down, "Fu Lu, where is Lian Chuan?"
Fulu turned his head away.
"Shouxi?" Ning Gu looked at Shouxi again, "Did you see Lian Chuan? How did I come back? Why did I only see Jiuyi?"
Su Xi lowered his head and didn't look at him.
Ning Gu struggled to sit up, struggled for a long time, but did not move at all.
"Can't you hear me?" He was a little desperate, "Why can't I move?"
A big fluffy paw stretched out and pressed on him.
"Boss!" Ning Gu shouted, "Boss!"
He heard the sound of the boss snorting next to his ear.
"Boss, have you seen Lian Chuan?" Ning Gu asked eagerly.
The boss didn't answer him either, just put the tip of his tail on his hand, and trotted along with the bat that was carrying him.
Ning Gu grabbed the tip of the boss's tail and closed his eyes.
"Just put it here," Nine Wings' voice sounded, "You all go out... Caracal, you should also be outside, he is in an unstable condition now, and may hurt you."
The boss blew the jet.
The surrounding sounds gradually disappeared.
"Ning Gu," Jiu Yi's voice sounded in front of his face, "We are back."
Ning Gu opened his eyes and looked at him.
"Lian Chuan didn't come back," Jiu Yi looked at him, "Only the two of us came back."
"Why?" Ning Gu's voice was very low, trembling uncontrollably.
This is the ending he already knew when he opened his eyes for the first time, but the moment Jiu Yi said it, it was still like a knife stabbing into his body, with unbelievable pain.
"I don't know," Jiu Yi said, "You have been in a coma the whole time, and you didn't wake up until about half an hour after we came back."
"Where's Lianchuan?" Ning Gu felt like a stuck machine, stuck at this point repeatedly, and couldn't get past it.
"He disappeared after smashing that face," Jiu Yi said, "Calm down now and listen to me, if you can't calm down, stay here for now."
Ning Gu didn't speak, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
Every bet will win.
You have to have no scruples, ignore the cost...
"Say." Ning Gu opened his eyes.
"Your ability exploded, Qi Hang's ability is mixed with your own ability, the lethality is huge," Jiu Yi said, "I was almost killed by you."
Ning Gu looked at him.
"When the wind tunnel broke out, the entire wind tunnel and the code world collapsed and kept shrinking," Jiu Yi said, reaching out to him, "You're hurt."
Only then did Ning Gu realize that he was covered with a thick quilt.
"It's heavy," Nine Wings said, "It's normal that you can't move now...I'll fix you up..."
fixed
Ning Gu's eyes widened, staring at Jiu Yi's hand.
Jiu Yi lifted the quilt, Ning Gu saw his body, his clothes were all torn, his body was covered with scars all over his body, these scars looked very familiar to him...
are those codes.
This is the scar left by the code world shrinking and embedded in his body.
All the scars are deep in the bones... No, maybe the bones are broken, or why can't I move
"Also," Nine Wings covered the quilt again, "just..."
"How to fix it?" Ning Gu asked.
"It will take a little work, but it can be fixed," Nine Wings said.
"Nine Wings," Ning Gu looked at him, "Aren't you very happy that you can find a chance to turn me into a bat?"
Jiu Yi was stunned and laughed, the sharp laughter was still very familiar.
"You have a good idea," Nine Wings said, "Do you want to transform you into a bat and take the position of the boss of Lost Valley with me?"
Ning Gu didn't speak.
"I'll help you get the bones," Jiu Yi tapped on his leg, "Your traveler's recovery ability can't handle such a serious injury. With the traveler's ability, it will take at least half a month to heal. I'll help you Once it's done, you'll be able to stand up right away..."
"Why should I stand up immediately." Ning Gu said.
"This is another thing I wanted to tell you just now," Nine Wings flicked his finger prick, and two metal sticks like probes protruded from the top of the cave, "Listen."
Ning Gu stared up and heard a low humming sound.
This sound was not among the sounds he heard when he was outside. It was dull and shocking, and it made people's hearts feel a little uncomfortable.
"The scavenger is here." Nine Wings said.
Ning Gu suddenly turned his head to look at him: "How is it possible? We still..."
"We went in for four days," Jiu Yi said, "when we came back, the scavenger came."
"Did we bring the scavenger back?" Ning Gu was stunned. He remembered what Nine Wings said, the code world was collapsed by his ability.
"I don't know," Jiu Yi said, "but everything is inevitable, so don't worry about it."
"If the code world collapses," when Ning Gu thought of this, his voice was so hoarse that he almost lost his voice, "then Lianchuan..."
"In these worlds, except for you, everyone is random, maybe it's the people Ye Xi usually sees, doctors, nurses, people who take care of him, people he's seen on TV, or even people he's seen in books Photos..." Nine Wings said, "These people appear randomly, only BUG is a special case, BUG may be a mistake in the world, it may be a human arrangement..."
"Get to the point." Ning Gu interrupted him.
"You are very clear about the important point," Jiuyi said, "Lian Chuan is a big bug, a bug left by the savior. Are you the savior?"
"I am." Ning Gu replied with certainty.
"Then he must still be waiting for you somewhere." Jiu Yi stood up, "Now, in a word, do you want to have your bones repaired?"
"Does it hurt?" Ning Gu asked.
"I didn't know, I only repaired it after knocking people out." Jiu Yi said.
"what-"
Ning Gu's screams came from the cave.
The caracal jumped up and walked to the entrance of the cave to look inside.
"It's okay," Su Xi said, "it will be fine soon..."
"Why is he awake?" Fu Lu was a little confused, "Why didn't the boss knock him out?"
"It must be him who won't allow it," Suki said. "Travelers like excitement."
"It's too exciting," Flow said.
"This is his lesson." Shouxi said with a serious face.
Ning Gu felt that his body was already numb, and he didn't feel much. When the nine wings hit his leg, there was only a vague dull pain.
But when Nine Wings stabbed into his leg and slashed violently, he realized that he was not paralyzed, how could he possibly be able to bear life
"You don't want me to knock you out." Jiu Yi glanced at him.
"You are waiting to die." Ning Gu gritted his teeth and stared at him.
"I'm going to put black iron on your bones now," Jiu Yi pinched a piece of black metal, "This is the kind of fine iron bat rope I tied you when you and Lian Chuan came together for the first time. The material is solid."
"Lian Chuan will be broken as soon as you pull it." Ning Gu said.
"That's Lianchuan!" Jiuyi roared, "Can you break it!"
Ning Gu didn't speak.
The word Lian Chuan disrupted his calm mood just now.
The last scene of Lian Chuan's back when he bumped into that jigsaw puzzle face kept replaying in his mind.
Why don't you turn back
Ning Gu is a little angry, why don't you look back
The deepest image he can recall now is the back of Lian Chuan's head...
The number of scavengers that appeared in the first round was very small, and the puppet army squad that E had arranged on the Black Iron Wasteland repelled their attack without even dispatching all of them.
But the leader did not feel relaxed.
The scavengers have almost no entities. The weapons of the cleanup team can only suppress them, but cannot destroy them. The attacks that can work are the abilities of the puppet legion and the traveler.
This means that the weapons in the main city can only assist in suppression, and if you want to kill the scavenger, you can only rely on travelers, puppets, and EZ.
There are not many EZs that Fade can control, and the EZs are unstable, and will self-destruct after a certain period of time, without the ability to continue fighting...
In terms of combat power, they may be far inferior to the scavengers.
Most importantly, they don't know how many scavengers there are and when they will attack.
If this is a long-term war of attrition, then the final loser is likely to be those who have exhausted their resources and manpower.
"The bridge has been erected," Lei Yu's voice came through the intercom, "Li Xiang led some people to defend near Luzhu."
"Be ready in five minutes," came Li Xiang's voice, "I have something I want to confirm. Did anyone pay attention to the attack power of the scavengers on the black iron in the battle just now?"
"I don't have any real data here," Lei Yu said, "What's wrong?"
"The scavengers only come out of the fissure." The head of the group understood Li Xiang's meaning. "They didn't come out from other places. Could it be that they couldn't break through the black iron barrier?"
"You can consider this," Lei Yu said, "Be careful when the next round of attacks occurs."
"Ning Gu said that travelers are miracles, and there are no such mutants in other worlds," Li Xiang said. "If this is some kind of 'preparation', isn't the world of Black Iron also a kind of 'preparation'?"
"All possibilities have to be taken into consideration," Lei Yu said, "but if black iron is to be used... there is a mechanical problem."
All the buildings in the main city based on black iron need to rely on large-scale machinery. These machines move slowly and take a long time to operate. It is not an easy task to use them to resist the scavengers.
For so many years, the ghost city has only been able to use the former lava caves, and it has not been able to build a large number of houses. It is also because it does not have the corresponding ability to handle a large amount of black iron.
"Think first, there is always a way," said the leader, "everything has its reason for existence."
Travelers see the tricks, and there will always be a way when they come to the front.
"Okay." Jiu Yi walked out of the cave and looked at the caracal cat, "Look at him, he still needs some time to get used to it, I want to go out and have a look."
The caracal got up and walked into the cave.
"Tell Hei Jie to come out with me." Jiu Yi looked at Fu Lu Shou Xi.
"Understood." Fu Lu Shouxi quickly ran along the passage.
When the boss walked in from the cave, Ning Gu was still standing there, looking down at his arm.
The boss walked up to him and sniffed carefully on his lap.
"I don't know what Jiuyi did," Ning Gu said, his voice still a little hoarse, he pulled up his pants to expose his legs, "I feel fine."
All the broken bones all over his body have been connected by the nine wings, and all the wounds are covered with black metal. He looks at himself now, like a broken statue that has been glued together again.
Fortunately, the wounds on his face were not moved by Nine Wings, just some not too deep cuts and abrasions, probably because he didn't want to turn into a bat.
"Boss," Ning Gu knelt down slowly and looked at the boss, "Where do you think Lian Chuan...will wait for me? Where should I find him?"
The boss lowered his head and rubbed lightly on his hand.
"I will definitely find him," Ning Gu said, "Even if I search all the worlds, I will find him."
The boss turned around, wrapped his tail around his hand, and trotted out of the cave.
Ning Gu walked out of the Valley of Lost Ways, and Jiuyi was preparing to go to the main city with a team of Black Rings.
"How is it?" Jiu Yi saw him and asked.
"It's okay." Ning Gu said.
"I'll bring someone to meet Li Xiang," Jiu Yi said, "What about you?"
"I'm going to find E," Ning Gu said, "I'm in the Black Iron Wasteland, I can flank."
Nine Wings put on a communicator: "Use this connection, I didn't expect that I will be able to use this thing one day after being in Lost Valley for so many years."
Ning Gu put on the communicator that Lei Yu gave him.
This is the communicator of the cleaning team, and this is what Lian Chuan uses. When he saw Lian Chuan for the first time, he still felt that the equipment on him was quite cool.
Ning Gu flicked the communicator lightly, then turned and walked into the black mist.
E has been stationed due north in the Valley of Lost, and all the cracks along the way are guarding his puppet army.
Looking at these former travelers, Ning Gu still feels tragic.
In order to survive, everyone has made choices that they think are correct, necessary, and even have no choice. Even number N, who appeared in their world fiercely as an invader, is nothing more than to survive, from the code Look for an exit in the world, and find the next place that can exist.
"Is the injury okay?" E sat on a piece of black iron and raised his head slightly when he saw him coming.
"En." Ning Gu stood in front of him.
"The scavenger will come out soon," E said, "The wave just now...was like a temptation, or it was alarmed. The next time it comes out, it will be a fierce battle."
"Well," Ning Gu responded, "I'm here to cooperate with the team in the main city."
Neither of them spoke after that.
Ning Gu didn't know what to say, E looked a little tired, not in a particularly good condition, sitting on the black iron all the time, Ning Gu hesitated for a while and didn't bother to find a topic.
He may have a lot to say before it all starts.
But it has come to the present stage, and it seems that there is no need to say anything.
I don't know how long I stood there, Ning Gu couldn't feel the passage of time, he didn't know where Lian Chuan was, what Lian Chuan was doing, what Lian Chuan was thinking, was Lian Chuan waiting for him, did Lian Chuan know that he must will go to him...
When there was a vibration under his feet, Ning Gu suddenly withdrew his thoughts.
"Here we come." Lei Yu's voice sounded through the intercom.
"The team is ready." Li Xiang said.
"Ready." The captain's voice also sounded.
"Okay," Jiu Yi said, "I haven't killed anyone for a long time."
"I'm here." Ning Gu said.
E stood up from the black iron and walked to his side: "From this time on, the battle may be very long."
"En." Ning Gu responded.
"I probably," said E, "can't make it to the end."
Ning Gu tilted his head and looked at him.
"These legions," said E, "may require your command later on."
Ning Gu was silent for a while before nodding: "I see."
"There is no right or wrong," E said, "There is no right or wrong when you choose."
"En." Ning Gu responded.
The flames began to dance violently, and the buzzing sound suddenly became louder. A black shadow appeared in the flames, shaking back and forth with the dancing flames.
Ning Gu looked down at the ground under his feet.
The golden light mixed with radiating dark silver slowly spread out from under his feet, as if it was growing continuously, and then countless fine golden particles slowly rose from the ground.
At the same time that the shadow escaped from the fire, the puppet army rushed forward.
Ning Gu raised his hand, as if a wind had blown, the golden light rolled out to the surroundings, a piece of golden light exploded as soon as it wrapped around the black shadow, and then rolled to the next one.
Lian Chuan, did you see that
Am I great.
