Embers Ad Infinitum

Amidst the roaring explosion, the passers-by who were already running away became more frightened and ran even harder.

Many of them panicked and fell to the ground. In the houses on both sides of the street, residents either hid in places where they thought they were safe and shivered, or they picked up guns with martial virtue, trying to stop the chaos outside, or they were curious. He or she would poke his or her head behind the glass window to find out what happened, or call the police through the phone installed at home.

——This is a street in the Red Giant Wolf District close to the Golden Apple District. Many residents have little assets, so installing a telephone is not a big problem.

While Shang Jianyao assumed a posture of running towards the group of attackers, he opened his mouth again and shouted loudly:

"Xiao Chong..."

He was halfway through shouting when suddenly a stream of air poured into his mouth and went straight to his throat.

"Cough!" "Cough!"

Shang Jianyao was choked and coughed violently. Not only did his shouts stop suddenly, but he was no longer able to maintain the "blind circle".

When there is a physiological problem, it doesn't matter which businessman you choose!

Just when Shang Jianyao almost became the first human to be choked to death by the wind, Long Yuehong, who had just failed to jump too far with Bai Chen, wanted to straighten up and help his companions suppress the attackers in the distance, but suddenly felt that he The skin becomes extremely sensitive.

The surrounding air seemed to turn into small hands, "ticking" the parts of his body that were not covered by the military exoskeleton device from different angles.

Normally, this level of influence would be closer to the state of "no cold willow wind blowing on the face" and would not cause Long Yuehong to have any extreme reaction, but at this moment, Long Yuehong's skin was strangely sensitive.

He suddenly had the illusion of being tickled by countless people, his body twisted around, his expression was crying and laughing.

This is simply torture.

Long Yuehong is no longer able to control the military exoskeleton device.

Bai Chen noticed something strange about Long Yuehong, but didn't understand what happened to him.

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through her mind, hoping to help Long Yuehong get out of the current predicament.

Eventually, she decided to try pain stimulation.

This in itself can wake people up from sleep and hallucinations, but now Bai Chen doesn't know if it's right or not.

On the other side, Jiang Baimian also heard Shang Jianyao's cough, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Long Yuehong's twists that seemed to be crying and laughing.

"That awakened person at the 'soul corridor' level has played with interfering matter...

"We can't go on like this. Even if he has no other options, just like this now, we can't escape... If nothing else, under the influence of 'forced sleep' again and again, we may not be able to escape every time. If you wake up in time and slow down for a few seconds, you will become the target of attackers from a distance. And we are not mechanical monks and cannot use our bodies to carry bullets, grenades and rockets...

"Damn it, there are bioelectric signals all around. There is no way to tell where he is. Shang Jianyao's human consciousness sensing must be the same... It's not like dealing with those attackers in the distance. You can use ballistic calculations, super vision and Military exoskeleton device assists in locking...

"We can't find the awakened person at the 'soul corridor' level. We have no choice but to fight back. We can only watch ourselves step by step into despair..." In this short gap, Jiang Baimian's thoughts were full of thoughts.

She could only give the order she was least willing to give:

"Spread out in small groups!"

In this way, at least it won't be thrown away in one fell swoop.

The lesser of two evils!

On the third floor of an apartment building less than 100 meters away from the "Old Tune Group", you can barely see a man standing at the window in a room in the area where the "Old Tune Group" is located, with one hand in his pocket, looking leisurely By Jiang Baimian and others.

He has half-length golden brown hair, blue eyes, a straight bridge of nose and heroic eyebrows, all indicating that he once had outstanding beauty.

But now, he was middle-aged and put on weight, his face was bulging with flesh, and there was a slovenly beard around his mouth.

"As expected of a team that was able to steal the pass code from the supervision of the 'Primary City', it actually forced me to enter the dangerous range of one hundred meters..." The man was wearing a black formal suit like the old world, with the first pill loosened inside. Buttoned white shirt.

Praise be to praise, this man named Kao is already preparing for the aftermath and evacuation.

In his opinion, no matter whether the strange child named Xiao Chong that the other party was looking for could appear in time and provide help, he could not stop himself from completing the decisive blow.

In the room behind him, there was another person lying on the couch, falling into a deep sleep.

At this moment, a rather angry voice suddenly sounded in Kaa's mind:

"Stop making trouble!"

This voice was a little childish, echoing in Kaa's inner world.

Kaa suddenly stiffened, as if he had turned into a stone statue, neither smiling nor speaking.

He stared out the window blankly, in a strangely quiet state.

Where the sapphire blue jeep overturned, Shang Jianyao's coughing stopped, and Long Yuehong also got rid of being tickled.

Jiang Baimian, Giuseppe and Bai Chen saw surprising changes in their surroundings.

The fleeing passers-by stopped suddenly. Some could still stand, but stood there blankly. Some couldn't control themselves, fell to the ground, and lay down motionless.

The people who had tripped to the ground because they were panicking were even more silent.

Residents in the houses on both sides of the street, who were hiding in safe places, even trembled under control. They picked up the incarnation statues of guns and distributed them on the road leading to the door of their houses. Those who peeped behind the windows to see what was going on outside. Those who closed their eyes, let their faces press against the glass, squeezed open, and answered the call from "Hand of Order", or held the receiver and forgot to put it down, or did not say a word and allowed the person on the other side to ask "Hey, hello" .

The same was true for the attackers in the distance, who were kneeling, standing, or crawling, their eyes losing focus.

At this moment, it was like someone pressed the pause button, stopping the flow of time within a certain range.

And if it weren't for the fact that the eyes of those frozen people were not vicious, their eyes were not cloudy, and they did not show obvious animality, Long Yuehong must have thought that this neighborhood had suffered an outbreak of "unintentional disease", and everyone except herself and others had changed instantly. Became a "careless person".

This is a horrific scene that only appeared when the old world was destroyed.

When Jiang Baimian and others looked around, Shang Jianyao made a surprised sound:

"Xiao Chong!"

This... Long Yuehong was a little frightened by Xiao Chong's strength.

Jiang Baimian was moved in his heart and shouted:

"Go to Xiao Chong first!"

Never mind the strange changes in this area.

Taking advantage of the various disturbances, Shang Jianyao took Giuseppe, Long Yuehong took Bai Chen, and Jiang Baimian followed closely, rushing all the way into the apartment where Xiao Chong was located.

Without slowing down, they jumped or ran to the fifth floor, pushed open the ajar door, and entered the apartment Xiao Chong rented.

Xiao Chong, who was wearing yellow clothes, was putting his game console and laptop computer into his red schoolbag, shouting with an unhappy look on his face:

"Those bad guys have been exposed here and can't stay any longer!"

This "King of the Careless" behaves like a child who went to a black Internet cafe to play games before the destruction of the old world and heard that his parents found him.

"Okay, let's move quickly!" Shang saw Yao's deep friendship and agreed.

While Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were helping Xiao Chong clean up, Jiang Baimian's thoughts turned and he considered his words:

"Would you like to catch that bad guy along the way? Otherwise, he will follow us in the future and your location may be exposed again."

Xiao Chong thought for a moment and said:

"good!

"I want him to work for me and make money!"

"..." Long Yuehong and others were speechless for a while while Shang Jianyao and Xiao Chong packed their luggage.

So, Shang Jianyao picked up "Garibaldi" Giuseppe again and let Xiao Chong sit on his shoulder.

Xiao Chong suddenly felt a little happy and excited.

"Let's go!" He waved the hand not used to stabilize his body.

Several members of the "old tune team" did not delay and even stopped taking the stairs.

Long Yuehong took Bai Chen and helped Jiang Baimian to jump out of the window. With the help of the protruding part of the building, she landed on the street with only two jumps, easily.

when!

Shang Jianyao followed and stood firm.

Suddenly, Xiao Chong's expression changed, he jumped off Shang Jianyao's shoulder and ran straight to an alley to the side.

"It's too late. I'll take the first step. You can catch the bad guy yourself. The influence on him will still remain for a while..." As the child ran, an afterimage appeared, which made Long Yuehong think he was hallucinating.

After only being stunned for a second or two, several members of the "Old Tune Group" lost sight of Xiao Chong, and only the words he left echoed in their ears.

"Teacher Du Heng has arrived nearby?" Jiang Baimian made the most reasonable guess.
