Boom—
There was another violent explosion that shook the earth, and the oil refinery in the canyon was completely turned into a sea of flames. 』The first explosion was an oil storage tank, and the second explosion was still an oil storage tank. The fuel stored in the tank was pushed far away by the shock wave of the explosion, and everything it passed was filled with flames.
The oil refining machine exploded, and the armed gangsters in the refinery were burned to coke. But this is not the worst case scenario. The worst case scenario is that fuel and flames fly into the circular town and ignite the town. The fire spread quickly, and there was no fire truck in the town that could put out the fire.
There are many weird and terrifying tanks in Blackbeard's territory, but there is really no normal fire truck. That's true, who can expect these desperadoes to drive fire trucks to put out fires
The residents of the town began to flee in all directions. After rushing out of the town, they divided into two parts. One part fled to the entrance of the canyon, and the other part fled to the exit of the canyon. The people here are not all evil people. Many of them were kidnapped here to mine crude oil and refine oil for Blackbeard, and were used as slaves by Blackbeard. Now that they have a chance to escape, why would they stay here
Bang bang bang…
Gunshots rang out, and bullets flew towards those who were running away. Some people fell, but no one wanted to stop. If they stay, they will die sooner or later. They are more willing to take a chance and get a chance to escape from this hell.
"Catch them!" Blackbeard roared while holding a heavy machine gun and shooting at the fleeing crowd.
The scene was chaotic as some armed bandits began to drive in pursuit of those who escaped.
Lelele smiled happily, "This is really a grand barbecue party." She gestured like a swan dance, "I really want to meet the guy who created this barbecue party, and then dance with him under the fire. Qu Wu." She looked at the black beard holding a machine gun and firing, and then pointed her finger at a slow-moving old man, "Hey! Ugly, kill him!"
Blackbeard then adjusted the direction of the machine gun and pulled the trigger.
Thump thump thump! A stream of bullets flew toward the old man. The old man's body was immediately torn apart by machine gun bullets and fell to the ground in several pieces.
"Hahaha..." Lelele smiled happily, "Troublemaker, troublemaker, where are you hiding? My sister is coming to catch you. You must hide well. It won't be fun if I catch you all at once. ”
The troublemaker she mentioned obviously refers to Xia Lei.
Amid the chaos, gunshots, fire, and chaos, Xia Lei's figure appeared in the circular town that was engulfed in a sea of flames. When a shot exploded the oil storage tank of the refinery, he took advantage of the chaos caused by the explosion to sneak into the circular town.
The purpose of his stay was those five poor children. He had no way or ability to save everyone here, but he wanted to take those five children out.
Kicking open the closed door, Xia Lei ducked into a room.
The room was dark, but he still saw the five children hiding in the room for the first time. They were lying under a dirty bed and nervously looking at him who broke in from the door. One of the children was holding a knife in his hand, biting his lip, waiting for the opportunity to stab him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you." Xia Lei said aloud: "Remember that black woman? I shot her."
The five children did not move.
"Come out, I see you. If you want to continue hiding under that bed, the fire will soon spread and burn you to death. Even if you are not burned to death, you will be caught by Blackbeard's people, and eventually Become the food of the Blue Moon people. It’s up to you to decide. I’m leaving now. If you want to follow, you can follow.” Xia Lei turned and walked towards the door.
The five children hesitated for a moment, and then crawled out from under the bed one by one.
"Uncle, help us, we can do anything." The youngest girl said pitifully.
Xia Lei felt a little sour in his heart, "Follow me closely, don't get separated."
The fire quickly spread to the center of the circular town.
Xia Lei and his five children sneaked between buildings, moving in the direction of the fire. At this time, Blackbeard and the armed bandits were trying their best to catch those who escaped and looked for "assassins". No one paid attention to the situation in the burning town. But this situation will not last long. Once Blackbeard and his men control the chaotic situation, they will focus all their forces against him. He had to compete with the fire for time, and he had to compete with Blackbeard for time.
After some distance, Blackbeard's tent came into Xia Lei's sight.
Xia Lei suddenly remembered something. He pointed the direction to the west of the town to the five children, "Wherever you run, I will come to you soon."
"Uncle, don't you want us anymore?" The youngest girl glanced at the corner of her mouth and was about to cry.
Xia Lei touched the little girl's head and said, "Uncle will not abandon you under such circumstances. Uncle just wants to get something from that white tent. Count to two hundred and I will catch up with you. Go. Come on, go!”
The five children ran away.
The little girl ran and counted, "One, two, three..."
When the little girl counted to "nine", Xia Lei had already rushed into Blackbeard's tent. What he is looking for is the information and experimental records on AE research that Blackbeard snatched from Professor Pompeii. Those things must not be left to Blackbeard, let alone the evil Lelele and Lan Sidi.
It was quiet in the tent. The firelight outside penetrated the canvas of the tent, and everything inside was clearly visible. Xia Lei's eyes moved to the three corpses lying on the ground, and then he discovered that two of the corpses had different causes of death.
"This...these two women were eaten by the Blue Moon Man." Xia Lei was surprised, "Why is this technique similar to Isitabu's technique?"
In Ping'an Village, he heard some descriptions from Li Ni about the Blue Moon people preying on humans. Li Ni said that the Blue Moon people used a kind of equipment specially designed to hunt prey. The equipment would melt human flesh and blood while extracting energy. But the way of eating in front of me is obviously the way of Isitabu. Could it be that the Blue Moon woman named Lan Sidi has evolved close to Isitabu
This guess made Xia Lei secretly nervous. If this guess was true, then the Blue Moon woman named Lan Sidi would be an extremely dangerous existence!
"Wait..." Xia Lei suddenly thought of something, and his eyes moved again to the body of a white woman whose brain was eaten, "This world is blocked by Blue Moon's energy field, and I can't use my abilities here. , how did she do it?”
Boom!
An explosion came from the direction of the oil well.
The ground shook slightly.
Xia Lei hurriedly ended his thinking and quickly scanned the entire tent. Two seconds later, his eyes rested on a safe made from fragments of the Blue Moon spacecraft. The safe is made of a material that bullets cannot penetrate, but the lock is just an ordinary lock.
Poof!
Two bullets flew out of the Avengers 1000's gun, and each one hit the lock on the safe. After the second bullet, the lock clicked open.
Xia Lei opened the safe and saw the contents inside. There are some Blue Moon coins inside, as well as a Blue Moon energy pistol, and a briefcase.
Xia Lei opened the briefcase and took a look, feeling relieved. There is a stack of experimental information in the briefcase, which is exactly the information about ae research. There is also a mobile hard drive for storing data. Although it was somewhat different from the mobile hard drives he had seen, judging from the interface and the text labels on it, it could be recognized at a glance.
Everything in Xia Lei's safe was put into his briefcase, and the Blue Moon energy pistol was inserted into his belt.
After picking up the things, Xia Lei left the tent and chased in the direction of the five children.
"189, 18o, 181..." The little girl was still counting, and her tears couldn't help but flow down.
"Stop counting, he won't come." The oldest boy said: "He abandoned us, I knew he would do this. We... are just unwanted children."
"191, 192..." The youngest girl was still counting. She didn't know why, but she was willing to believe the strange uncle.
The edge of the circular town is right in front of you, and you can get out in only a dozen steps.
Two armed gangsters suddenly appeared at the intersection.
The five children stopped with a crash.
"Haha! There are five more little guys here! Catch them!" An armed gangster called to his companions while approaching the five children with a gun.
"197, 198..." The little girl's voice was trembling, and her tears flowed faster. The closer she counted to "2oo", the more nervous she became.
Will that strange uncle abandon her
puff! A blood flower suddenly bloomed on the head of the armed gangster who was approaching with a gun, and then he fell to the ground with a crash. Before the other armed gangster could lift the assault rifle in his hand, another bullet flew over and exploded in his head.
The five children turned around in a hurry, and at that moment the strange uncle came into their sight.
The fire is burning and the uncle is running.
"199, 2oo!" A smile appeared on the little girl's face, but tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.
"Let's go!" Xia Lei picked up the youngest girl and rushed out of the circular town with the five children, running towards the deserted dark area.
The road under your feet is the road to survival, and it leads to the hillside that is filled with poisonous smoke.
"Uncle! We can't go to that place!" The oldest boy stopped near the hillside. "It's poisonous there, and we will die there."
Xia Lei said: "You will not die if you do as I say. If we want to leave here alive, we have to leave from there."
This canyon is full of armed bandits searching in chariots. The chance of successfully leaving the canyon's entrance or exit is almost zero. Armed bandits don't search hillsides belching poisonous smoke, and even if they wanted to, they wouldn't have the ability, so this is the only way to survive.
"I, I'll go by myself!" The oldest boy suddenly turned around and ran away.
The other two boys hesitated and followed him towards the entrance of the canyon.
A girl ran after the three boys and ran after them.
Xia Lei said angrily: "You will die!"
The oldest boy stopped and looked back at Xia Lei, "You must have gone to Blackbeard's tent to steal money just now, right?"
"You..." Xia Lei was angry at this rebellious child.
"Follow you up the mountain, we will die, I would rather believe in myself!" The oldest boy turned around and ran towards the entrance of the canyon.
Two boys and a girl followed his footsteps and ran towards the entrance of the canyon. In that direction, the chariot roared, and the sounds of gunshots and screams were mixed together.
The only one left was the youngest girl. She looked at Xia Lei longingly, "Uncle, I believe you, I will go with you."
Xia Lei took out his saber and cut open his palm. Then he handed the bleeding palm to the little girl, "Drink some of my blood. It can help you detoxify."
The little girl nodded and caught the blood with her mouth.
After feeding the little girl blood, Xia Lei used a saber to cut off a piece of cloth from his clothes, wet the cloth with blood, and covered the little girl's face.
When Xia Lei was holding the little girl and preparing to climb the hillside, he glanced in the direction where the four children were escaping. He saw the four children running desperately towards the entrance of the canyon.
Can they escape alive
Xia Lei didn't care at all. Everyone had their own destiny. If the four children made the decision they thought was right, they would have to accept the consequences. He was never a savior, he could not save everyone.
