Lin Fan's ability was activated, and the black circle instantly made Lian Chuan lose the ability to move.
Although I already knew the effect of this thing, I also knew that its effect on Lianchuan would be much shorter than that on ordinary people...
But the bus only takes a short time to arrive. As long as people start getting on the bus, it will start moving after a while.
Having missed this train, Lian Chuan didn't know when he would be able to return to the main city. Looking at the current situation of these electric cracks, he might not even have the chance to return to the main city.
He rushed over and pulled up a piece of clothing to cover Dingzi, then pulled Lianchuan up from the ground and almost carried him on his shoulders.
When we rushed out of the cabin, some travelers had already begun to appear in the black fog, running towards where the car was coming from, with cheers of jubilation.
The world begins to change. Whether it is towards rebirth or destruction, it is a new and exciting journey for travelers.
The car became unknown, the main city became unknown, the Lost Valley became unknown, the Death Road became unknown, and everyone was rolling harder than the wind.
While everyone has not gathered yet and the team leader and Li Xiang have not appeared yet, Ning Gu plans to go there as soon as possible. Maybe Lian Chuan will be able to recover his ability to move before the car starts.
But before he could run a hundred meters, a dark shadow rushed up from behind and blocked his way.
Ning Gu almost bumped into it head-on.
When he saw clearly that it was Sister Qi, he lowered his voice and yelled, "Don't stop me!"
"Something must have happened in the main city," Sister Qi glared at him, "At a time like this, the first ones to be excluded are the ghost town, the travelers! The main city will not let travelers in at a time like this!"
Ning Gu looked at her: "Don't stop me, Lian Chuan wants to go back to the main city."
"Don't you understand?" Sister Qi frowned, "This trip will definitely be dangerous!"
"I may not have thought of so much," Ning Gu said, "Lian Chuan must have thought of it, and he still decided to go back..."
Without waiting for Sister Qi to stop him, Ning Gu rushed past her carrying Lian Chuan.
Ning Gu usually runs very fast, and other travelers cannot run as fast as him unless they use their abilities.
But today, he was carrying Lianchuan and had to be careful to avoid people. When he arrived at the place, many travelers had already arrived.
But the scene was a bit strange.
There was no cheering, no chaotic crowd.
It doesn't look like they are about to get on the bus, but rather they are gathering here waiting for the bus to arrive. Everyone is as quiet as a group of sculptures.
And everyone stood thirty meters away from the car.
The car quietly parked on the track is also different from what you usually see.
There are only three carriages.
This had never happened before in Ning Gu's memory.
The number of carriages is not fixed at seven or eight, sometimes more and sometimes less.
Now this train, which only has three carriages, looks like a monster with its neck cut off.
"The car came from the direction of the main city." The traveler who was waiting here today reported to the group leader.
Ning Gu was shocked to find that the team leader had been standing beside him without him knowing when. He subconsciously dodged to the side, trying in vain to hide Lian Chuan who was on his shoulders.
The team leader just glanced at him and didn't say much.
"Ning Gu," Li Xiang's voice came from behind, "Go to the side."
Ning Gu turned around and saw Li Xiang and Lin Fan standing behind him.
"What happened?" he asked. When he saw Lin Fan, he became furious again. "Remove the power from his neck!"
"It can't be removed. After loading it onto the tool, it can only be set at a set time," Lin Fan said. "It will automatically be released when the time is up, and you can move it in a moment."
Ning Gu gritted his teeth, not knowing whether what Lin Fan said was true or false.
"Take him to the side," Lin Fan said, "There's something wrong with this car."
Ning Gu hesitated for a moment. Considering that his actions would directly affect Lian Chuan's safety, he retreated to a farther place, put Lian Chuan on the ground, and leaned against a broken box next to him.
Lian Chuan's eyes were still closed. Even if he could lift the seal early, it wouldn't be so soon.
"Captain," someone shouted, "what should we do?"
"Don't come near." The leader slowly walked to the front of the crowd.
Li Xiang and Lin Fan followed closely beside him. All along, when facing the danger of the ghost town, no matter how big their differences were or how different their future paths were, they would still fight side by side.
This is why travelers can unite at every critical moment.
Ning Gu stared at the carriage door that was like a black hole, unable to see clearly whether there was anything inside or not.
But everyone knew that even if the train did not come from the main city, the mere fact that there were changes on the train was dangerous. After all, no one knew what was going on with this train.
"Lin Fan." The team leader raised the cold light bottle in his hand and called Lin Fan's name.
"Yeah." Lin Fan responded.
The team leader threw the cold light bottle in his hand towards the carriage door. Lin Fan raised his hand at the same time, and an air wave with a low whistling sound wrapped around the cold light bottle and rolled towards the door. When the cold light bottle was about to be rolled into the carriage, Lin Fan clenched his hand, and the cold light bottle exploded with a bang. The sudden increase in brightness illuminated the interior of the carriage.
Ning Gu, who had been staring at the carriage door, felt that his breathing stopped at that moment.
The car was filled with... something.
It has limbs and a head like a human, but is also like some animal from ancient legends, with mottled black skin, an arched back, and spikes protruding from the top of the head and extending all the way to the back, shining with a cold metallic light.
The entire carriage was packed with these monsters.
At the moment the cold light bottle exploded, the monsters seemed not to see or hear anything and remained motionless. Some of them lay on the floor of the carriage, some clung to the walls of the carriage, and some hung upside down on the roof of the carriage.
Like a weird scene frozen in time.
After the cold light bottle went out, a "beep" sound was heard in the car.
Despite the howling wind, the highly nervous travelers still heard it.
"Be careful!" Li Xiang defended himself without hesitation, "Retreat!"
All the travelers retreated in all directions in a semi-circle at the same time. This was their tacit understanding and would be used in group fights. Retreating in the same direction would easily lead to the formation of a group and give the opponent a chance to launch a concentrated attack.
But before everyone had moved away, a few thin red lights flashed in the carriage.
Ning Gu had seen this red light before, and travelers who had experienced the last fight to snatch people from the main city were also very familiar with it.
This is the weapon of the city guards.
There are guards from the main city on the bus!
Ning Gu, who had been squatting on the side, jumped up. Although he didn't know what he should do, he had to do something.
The city guards brought monsters and attacked the ghost town.
Li Xiang's defense was limited by the city guards' weapons that attacked at the same time. Two red lights penetrated the defense and hit the two closest travelers.
Before they could make any sound, they fell to the ground, and the black wounds on their backs almost severed their bodies.
"Defense!" the captain roared.
The huge vibration brought air waves towards the carriage, and the red light disappeared.
Less than a second later, the red light appeared again, and all travelers with defensive capabilities were activated at the same time. The red light was blocked more than ten meters away, and a red flame exploded.
After blocking the first wave of attacks, the traveler's attack ability was activated, and the train was shaken a little by the huge air waves and various explosions.
"Don't let them get off the bus!" the regiment commander shouted.
The ghost town is much larger than the main city. Once these city guards and monsters get off the bus, the troubles and dangers they will face will increase exponentially.
The travelers began to quickly gather into small groups, and under the cover of their defensive capabilities, they pressed back to the side of the carriage.
The red light flashed again in the carriage, and this time it was shocking.
It was like a blood-red net, rushing towards the traveler.
Ning Gu only had time to push away the traveler closest to him, and more than a dozen travelers in front of him fell to the ground at the same time.
It was the first time in his life that he saw so many companions fall in front of him, and the anger and fear that came overwhelmed him immediately.
Ning Gu stood in the crowd, raised his left hand and looked down at his feet.
He no longer cared whether he could control his ability or not, as long as he could use it.
This is the traveler's territory and the traveler's final resting place.
Travelers can die on the journey, die in the Black Iron Wasteland, die in the main city, die in the Lost Valley, even die in the shouts of excitement, die in the embracing black fog... but they cannot be killed by the city guards in their own safe harbor.
"We can't retreat—" Sister Qi's loud voice came from the crowd.
“No retreat—” the travelers roared.
More and more travelers who stayed behind began to arrive from the direction of the shelter and joined the battle.
A traveler who was hit fell at Ning Gu's feet.
Ning Gu knows him.
It's a big butt.
Big Butt struggled to get up again, but failed twice. Finally, he fell to the ground, spread his arms on both sides, and let out a long sigh that seemed to come from the deepest part of his body, filled with resentment and anger.
Ning Gu felt his eyes were burning with anger, and he spat out two words from between his teeth: "Go to hell."
As translucent ripples spread out from his fingertips, it seemed as if he had entered an enclosed space.
The sound of the wind disappeared, the shouting disappeared, and the explosions disappeared.
All sounds disappeared.
A circle of golden light spread out from the fingertips, and then as if pushed by an air wave, the golden light suddenly accelerated, turning into a semicircle, and suddenly spread out above the crowd.
The flashing red light in the carriage suddenly disappeared.
After a moment of silence, the travelers let out a scream that almost overturned the wind and rushed towards the carriage.
At the same time, the monster that had been motionless in the carriage suddenly moved.
When the travelers rushed to a position only ten meters away from the carriage, a monster jumped out.
Then comes the second one.
Almost at the same time, all the monsters in the three carriages rushed out.
The traveler in front cried out in pain.
The monster rushed into the crowd at an alarming speed, the spikes on its back cutting through its body, and only when it raised its hands could one see the blades flashing red at the front.
When it swung past the traveler's body, black fragments flew up.
Ning Gu raised his hand again.
He knew that his previous attack should only be effective against "humans", which could be considered as some kind of mental control.
These monsters are apparently unaffected by this type of attack.
He needs other abilities of his own.
Although he couldn't be sure whether he could succeed.
A monster rushed past him, and when Ning Gu saw it clearly, it had already rushed behind Li Xiang.
Before he could warn, the monster's claws had already pierced into Li Xiang's waist.
"Li Xiang!" Ning Gu roared and rushed over.
When the monster's claws were about to stab Li Xiang for the second time, a black shadow flashed past Ning Gu, pulled Li Xiang away, used the force that threw Li Xiang to the side to leap up, and kicked the monster on the head.
The monster was kicked back to the side of the carriage.
It’s Lianchuan.
"You..." Before Ning Gu could run to Lian Chuan, the dozen or so monsters around him suddenly turned their heads at the same time.
All the monsters were staring at Lian Chuan.
Ning Gu suddenly understood at this moment.
Why would the city guards bring monsters to the ghost town
They want to find Lianchuan.
No, they were going to find Betelgeuse.
To find a Betelgeuse that has been able to be awakened freely outside the laboratory.
Betelgeuse is no longer under the control of the main city.
Find the precursor experimental subject that may have separated from the "experimental subject" and become an independent entity.
A monster pounced towards Lianchuan, its speed no less than Lianchuan.
The limiter behind Lian Chuan's neck is still working.
After punching through the monster's chest, more monsters rushed towards him.
The travelers around were still fighting. Monsters kept falling, but the travelers also kept falling. The monsters' speed and attack power were both top-notch, and many of the travelers' abilities could not cause fatal damage to them.
After Lian Chuan knocked down two monsters, he was obviously tired. Lin Fan's ability on the black circle had not yet subsided. Although he recovered in advance, such a battle would still be affected.
Ning Gu had never felt this way before.
despair.
He raised his left hand.
The monster pounced on Lianchuan.
Li Xiang struggled to get up from the ground and put up a defense.
After being blocked, the monster attacked again and broke through Li Xiang's already weak defense.
Lian Chuan glanced at Ning Gu.
He knelt on one leg and supported himself on the ground with one hand.
Ning Gu understood what Lian Chuan meant.
But if he had enough time, he would not agree to Lianchuan doing this.
The main city may not have fully determined the situation of Betelgeuse, and this wave may just be a test.
Once it is confirmed, or even discovered that Lianchuan is on the side of the traveler, Lianchuan will probably no longer have a foothold in the main city. The main city will definitely try every means to destroy this true traitor, who is their biggest threat and variable in the battle for the exit.
But Ning Gu believed in Lian Chuan's judgment.
Lian Chuan has always lived on the bottom line of death, and all his judgments must be precise and decisive.
Ning Gu is willing to follow Lian Chuan's decision.
He glanced at Lian Chuan and closed his eyes.
Darkness suddenly came, and everything around fell into nothingness.
Betelgeuse, wake up.
receive.
"You have a deal with Lianchuan," Chun San sat on the sofa in Minister Chen's office, holding a cigarette between her fingers. She looked at the slowly rising smoke, "Does this count as a unilateral breach of contract? The credit of the main city is just so-so."
"He had already broken the contract when Betelgeuse's spiritual power disappeared," Minister Chen looked at her, "and the results this time have confirmed that he had no intention of providing the main city with any information about the ghost town."
"Really?" Chun San smiled. "Didn't you decide not to give him this opportunity when you suspected that Betelgeuse could be awakened in the ghost town?"
"He still has a chance," Minister Chen leaned back in his chair, "He will definitely return to the main city. I hope you can go with Captain Lei to persuade him to choose the main city or the ghost town."
"Chen Fei," Chun San looked at him, "What are you thinking about?"
"Huh?" Minister Chen didn't understand.
"Everything is going to be lost," Chun San said, "Do you still think the main city has the ability to control everything?"
"I won't give up until the last moment," Minister Chen stood up, "Please cooperate with me."
The office door opened, and a team of city guards walked in and surrounded Chun San.
"Captain Lei, I have sent someone to pick him up," said Minister Chen.
"It's not the security team," Chun San laughed, "Xiao Lin is not cooperating, right? Did he know about the private affairs of the training department?"
"These are not things that should be discussed publicly," Minister Chen looked at her and waved to Cheng Wei, "Take Director Chun San to rest first."
After the city guards took Chun San away, Fade Chen fell back into his chair.
There was still no news from the administrator, the main city had fallen into chaos, and the experimental army of the training department had entered the final preparations before being activated, although they were a little hurried.
But the Internal Defense Department is no longer united. It is just like Chun San said, Xiao Lin already knows about their private experiments, and now his men are sitting on the sidelines, and will not accept orders for any actions other than the most basic security incidents.
The chapter of destruction has not officially begun yet, but the main city has already entered the plot in advance.
The phone on the table rang, and Chen Fei picked it up: "What's going on?"
"The entire cleanup team has left the main city and entered the Black Iron Wasteland." This was a report from the city guards.
"What do you mean? Black Iron Wasteland?" Chen Fei stood up suddenly. "What are they going to do? Who is leading the team?"
"The final coordinates are near the entrance of Lost Valley," the other side replied, "The leader is Lei Yu."
