Embers Ad Infinitum

"What's wrong?" The weak Liu Chuan stopped and asked.

Shang Jianyao said loudly while looking at the darkness sputtering out streams of air:

"I have a question.

"How should we join forces to attack later? Should we stack our forces together to poke, smash, mess around, or have other ideas?"

This is a very real technical issue. Barnard, Chen Wen and others were all lost in thought, thinking about what to do next.

Almost at the same time, the low and insubstantial voice echoed in their ears again:

“Gather your strength together and poke into the depths of darkness.

“It’s easy and doesn’t require much thought.

"Go on without further delay."

"Oh!" Shang Jianyao said with an "I see" expression.

Liu Chuan, Chen Wen and other "new world" powerhouses continue to move forward.

"Wait a moment!"

Shang Jianyao's voice suddenly sounded again.

"What's wrong?" Liu Chuan asked with a slightly distorted expression.

At this moment, the interior of the tower, which was always bright and dark, seemed to be cast in a shadow.

"I still have a question." Shang Jianyao was very calm. "After we poke it like that, how will the darkness react? Will it collapse directly and the air will spray us all over? In that case, what should we do?"

Those shimmering air currents can dissolve the human consciousness of the strong people in the "New World"!

At this moment, the "New World" experts on the scene are all on high alert for those air currents and are ready to evade them at any time. No one dares to take them lightly.

For Barnard, Chen Wen and others, this is indeed something that needs to be paid attention to. After all, no one wants to become an unnecessary victim at the critical moment of returning to the dust, when the dawn is about to come.

The next second, the low and insubstantial voice appeared again in their and Shang Jianyao's minds:

“I will provide you with protection.

"Stop thinking about the minutiae. Victory is in front of you."

For some reason, Barnard vaguely felt that there was a bit of gritted teeth in the voice.

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao agreed very readily.

He took the lead and walked towards the huge darkness from the jets of air.

Liu Chuan, Chen Wen and the "New World" strongman carrying Barnard followed closely behind.

In their eyes, the light was flickering, the air flow was turbulent, the darkness was expanding and contracting, and the atmosphere was as tense as if the end was coming.

"Wait a moment!"

Shang Jianyao's voice broke the atmosphere.

Liu Chuan slowed down and shouted almost collapsed:

"What else do you want to ask?"

Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"It has nothing to do with you."

Liu Chuan almost vomited blood when he heard this answer.

Fortunately, he is now a spiritual body, a conscious life, without blood.

Shang Jianyao looked at Barnard behind him and asked seriously:

"Aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?" the trembling Barnard asked with a frown.

Shang Jianyao said sincerely:

"Our escape from the 'New World' in this way may bring disaster to the dust.

"As the first Red River President of the Linhai Alliance, you chose to open the door in advance and enter here in order to protect the people there. You are their hero. You are not worried that your current actions will bring harm to the Linhai Alliance." To avoid an irresistible man-made disaster?"

Barnard was silent for a few seconds and said:

"I have made up my mind that I can't care about so much anymore. If I don't leave here, I will definitely go crazy and live a life full of suicidal impulses.

"We'll let you know if there is any disaster in the future. I will definitely contribute my strength without reservation at that time."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Shang Jianyao's response, he lowered his head and said to the "New World" strongman who was carrying him:

"Come closer to the darkness, we can't wait any longer."

As soon as he finished speaking, the darkness expanded instantly, and the edge pushed in front of several people, seeming to reach its extreme.

This was accompanied by more and more violent shimmering air currents. If Shang Jianyao and others had not been paying attention to this problem and were always ready to avoid it, or quickly crouched down, or directly jumped to the ground, there would definitely be some difficulties. Escape from this disaster.

boom! boom! boom!

Those airflows hit the tower walls, as if someone was hitting them with a giant hammer.

There was a crashing sound, the glass shattered, and pieces of wall dust fell, revealing the mottled walls.

This was the first time the tower itself had been harmed.

The ground near the door also cracked for the first time, spreading outward and getting deeper and deeper.

A ball of air flew out of the door and collided with a "New World" strongman coming from the other direction.

The man didn't even have time to scream, but his face suddenly became extremely distorted, and he was annihilated together with the airflow.

As the earthquakes and hurricanes brought about by this wave of expansion continued to spread outward, the darkness shrank as before.

Shang Jianyao, Liu Chuan and others stood up one after another, and their ears were filled with low and vague voices:

"Go over, go over..."

…………

Inside the swirling building.

Jiang Baimian went through the pockets of the three corpses and found only chocolates and other items that were currently of little value.

The bones showed that the body had no signs of heavy blows or poisoning. The only wound came from the security guard named Fei Yingwu - his right arm rested on a submachine gun, and there were signs of bone fractures. .

Jiang Baimian imagined the scene at that time:

In just an instant, Fei Yingwu died immediately like those in Taicheng. His submachine gun fell to the ground first, followed by his body. His right arm hit a bulge on the gun body, causing bone fractures. .

"Everyone here should die this way..." Jiang Baimian looked away and stood up.

Her biggest doubt right now is:

Why are the bags of bear biscuits and that piece of chocolate well-preserved, without getting damp or moldy, while these corpses only have bones left and stains staining the clothes?

Jiang Baimian, who couldn't figure it out for the moment, walked towards the corpse sitting on the sofa.

This white corpse was also wearing a black uniform, but there was no submachine gun beside him, and there was a pistol in the gun pouch on his waist.

Jiang Baimian's eyes fell on the right chest of the corpse. On the black nameplate there, it was written in golden gray earthen text:

"Security Director: Brian Stanley"

Under this row of gray earth script there is a line of smaller red river script.

A surname and a name that he had never heard of before... Jiang Baimian whispered in secret, squatted down, and checked Brann Stanley's pocket.

Nothing but food.

"The management was quite strict back then." Jiang Baimian thought for a while, but did not dare to waste time and went to other corpses in the area.

After quickly checking it, she turned her attention to the passage deep in the "waiting area".

The sliding metal door is half-open.

Jiang Baimian took a tentative step inside, and his head suddenly began to throb.

This familiar feeling made her retreat in a hurry.

Jiang Baimian did not dare to move forward, stared at the far end of the passage, and said silently to himself:

"The core thing is in this?"

Unable to get in for a while, she looked around and found the stairs leading to the second floor.

Without hesitation, Jiang Baimian, wearing a military exoskeleton device, approached and stepped on it.

Everything was calm and there was no "unintentional disease".

…………

"Go over, go over..."

In the low and insubstantial voice, Chen Wen, Liu Chuan, Shang Jianyao and others were a little fanatical in dodging the jet of shimmering air and came to the darkness.

At this time, the expansion and contraction of the darkness were not as intense as before, and seemed quite weak, otherwise it would directly envelope Shang Jianyao and others.

"Let's begin." Liu Chuan, who obeyed the "truth", took the lead in extending his right palm and pressing it against the dark surface.

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao, always positive, folded his right palm behind Liu Chuan's hand.

Liu Chuan was surprised, confused and at a loss as he glanced sideways at this guy, not sure what he was doing.

"Didn't we agree to unite our forces?" Shang Jianyao said with an expression of "What's wrong with this?"

Following his lead, Barnard, Chen Wen and the "New World" strongman carrying Barnard also stretched out their right palms and folded them behind Shang Jianyao and Liu Chuan's hands from different angles. .

"Start!" Shang Jianyao gave the order excitedly.

The five "New World" powerhouses used the ability of "interference with matter" at the same time, raising the effect to the highest level they could achieve.

The air quickly condensed in front of their hands, compressing into an extremely thick spike.

The sharp thorn suddenly poked into the depths of darkness.

The darkness suddenly stopped. Not only did it not expand, it even disappeared.

After a brief period of solidification, the huge darkness suddenly erupted.

It exploded like a punctured balloon.

Accompanying this change, countless shimmering lights gathered into groups and shot out in all directions.

Liu Chuan, Shang Jianyao and others who were in front of him had no time to dodge, and were directly hit by the shimmering airflow on their faces, hitting their bodies, and covering their consciousness.

In an instant, they all felt their breath disappearing rapidly, and their expressions became obviously distorted.

And the protection spoken of by "truth" did not appear.

Shang Jianyao woke up and quickly transferred his consciousness into his spiritual room.

His "131" room is already crumbling, but this does not involve the existence of the room itself.

Shang Jianyao ran two steps quickly, jumped suddenly, and threw himself into the "LCD TV" transformed from the "Sea of ​​Origins".

In his "Sea of ​​Origin", the shimmering sea was rapidly evaporating, and parts of the sky turned into chaos.

This trend inevitably spread to Shang Jianyao's body. Shang Jianyao repeated his old trick and flashed directly in front of the gap representing Xiao Chong and hid in the mezzanine.

But the chaos in the sky didn't stop there, it spread all the way to the surface of the gap.

Seeing this, the reckless Shang Jianyao shouted loudly:

"You will definitely die if you go out, so we can only give it a try!"

This time, no one Shang Jianyao objected.

Shang Jianyao hurriedly moved his body and really got into the gap where Xiao Chong's black shadows were layered and shimmering.
