"Arrived ahead, Ninth Block, we are passing the Vinlan-Core Cross-sea Bridge. Passengers please stand firm and hold on."
In the swaying bus, the electronic announcement sounded slowly.
The passenger sitting in the front row glanced outside. From this position, he could already see the endless sea and the looming city on the opposite side.
The slender cross-sea bridge is like a rainbow spread on the ground, crossing the calm sea and reaching the island on the other side of the sea.
That is the cross-sea bridge, which is proof of the glory of the Newland city-state. These long ribbons connect the scattered islands together, making the time from one island to another less troublesome and long. The glorious Newland city-state is composed of This is established.
The bright sunlight is shining from the sky. It is noon now, and there are not many vehicles on the bridge.
Today's day is as peaceful as countless days in the past.
The passenger sitting in the front seat stared at the sea in boredom and yawned.
boom--
At this moment, like thunder exploding on the ground, a violent explosion swept over the location of the bus with a gushing heat wave.
The solid front windshield was covered in cracks almost instantly.
Accompanied by a sound that sounded like a boulder collapsing and a violent sudden brake, the bus moving forward stopped.
Some passengers who were unable to stand still almost fell into the car. As soon as they regained their balance, they heard a trembling voice coming from their ears.
"Explode... Explode... Bridge..."
A passenger holding the handle raised his hand and pointed forward tremblingly.
A huge opening appeared in the middle of the magnificent long bridge, and the broken steel bars were exposed to people like ferocious blood vessels.
There were sounds of swallowing in the car.
The ribbon of prosperity is broken.
······
At this moment, on a high-rise building near the cross-sea bridge, a handsome and angular young man stood up from his chair and looked at the long bridge that had been blown apart through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
boom--
"Deputy Minister, that explosion just now!"
The office door was pushed open violently, and a panicked man looked at the young man in the office.
"I have no idea,"
The young man shook his head in confusion. He raised his hand and picked up the desk phone, "Hey, hey, temporary branch? Help me pick up Minister West!!!"
The only response he received was a blank beep from the phone.
He put down the phone and looked out the window again.
For some reason, a certain anxiety spread in his heart.
Jingle Bell--
At this moment, the phone he had just put down rang.
He immediately picked up the phone and said, "Hello, temporary branch?"
What came over was not the voice of the temporary branch operator, but a somewhat panicked female voice, "Deputy Minister, we have a lot of people gathered downstairs. They are smashing, looting and burning everywhere... No, there are extraordinary people inside." , there are many extraordinary beings, they are... they are... wanted criminals... they have invaded!"
The young man looked at the microphone in his hand, his face darkened. He glanced at the man in front of the door, opened the drawer, took out a large-caliber pistol, and walked towards the office door.
"No matter who is causing trouble behind, let all brothers bring the guy and follow me!"
——
"Grandma, what's the noise outside?"
The dim emergency light illuminated the cold cellar. The little girl leaned on the old man's arms, listening to the crackling sound like beans being fried outside, and asked in a low voice.
"it's okay no problem,"
The white-haired old man stood on the metal ladder and touched the cellar door above her head. After making sure that the door was locked, she slowly climbed down the stairs and hugged her granddaughter beside her. "It will be over soon."
She stared at the dim light above her head, feeling a little absent-minded.
In fact, she didn't quite trust the 'new neighbor' at first, but she couldn't help but her granddaughter clamored to get in, so she had to clear out the cellar.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they finished cleaning up, gunfire erupted outside.
Darkness seems to have fallen, but there is still a faint light in the sky.
——
core island
At the top of the magnificent high-rise building, West stood in front of the huge glass curtain wall, looking at the bridges that had been blown apart.
Behind him was a vast hall. Almost all the walls of the hall were broken through, and a flame pattern drawn with blood covered every inch of the floor.
A huge pile of 'altars' made of stacked firewood stood in the middle of the pattern.
"Leader, I can already feel the atmosphere of chaos."
The thin man standing next to West took a deep breath. He looked at his feet and the vast city in the distance. The countless panicked cries were like the most beautiful music in the world, echoing in a trance. In his ear.
After preparing for so long, now, it is finally the last moment.
He looked at West, with uncontrollable enthusiasm in his eyes, "Leader, let's get started. The glory of chaos will eventually envelope this world."
West stared calmly at the land in front of him. He raised the coin in his hand and flicked it. The coin flipped several times in the air and fell into his palm.
Under the gaze of the thin man, he slowly opened his palm, revealing the appearance of a coin.
Right side up.
The next second, all the space behind him rippled like water waves, and armed guards and shackled figures appeared in the hall.
These people looked around in confusion.
The hall they were in just now was similar to the hall now, but not completely similar.
"We're back in the real world."
Wu Lan, who was already sitting against the wall, glanced out the window and said in a low voice. "Do you know where this is?"
"Looking at the surrounding scenery, it seems to be the top of the financial building in the city center. It is more than 200 meters high."
Xia Ye sat next to her friend and took a look at the scenery outside the window. She had worked in this city for many years and was already very familiar with the surrounding scenery.
She also had some injuries on her body, but they were not serious. The strength gap between her and West was too big, and she was caught without a few counterattacks. She turned back to look at Wu Lan, "What can we do next? "
"Wait...cough...cough..."
Wu Lan looked at West in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and coughed twice violently.
Before she finished speaking, West, who was beside the bed, suddenly turned around and waved, and several guards came over.
"What do you want to do?"
Xia Ye subconsciously stood in front of her friend.
"it's okay no problem,"
Wu Lan pushed her away gently, "Ahem... they can't kill me yet."
She stood up staggeringly. Some kind of power continued to overflow from the shackles on her hands, acting on her body and restricting her movements. The two guards tried to come over to hold her, but she waved them away. , "No, I'm not that injured yet."
Then she slowly supported her body and moved forward step by step with the shackles on her. The wounds that had healed slightly overflowed with blood due to this action, dripping at her feet.
But without even frowning, she stepped forward and walked in front of West. She straightened her body and looked at West calmly, "So, what exactly are you going to do?"
West raised his eyes, glanced at the woman in front of him in surprise, and suddenly smiled, "You are an admirable warrior and very smart. If I gave you a little more time, I might not have a chance. Got you.”
"Give me a little longer, and maybe you will be the one wearing the shackles."
Wu Lan looked at West in front of her with calm eyes.
"This possibility is not ruled out,"
West glanced at Wu Lan, then turned to look at the hazy city outside the window, "So I didn't give you any time, right?"
"So you arrested Xia Ye just to attract C-level people from the institute?"
Wu Lan looked at him and asked in a low voice.
"Actually, my original plan was not so urgent, but your diplomat lady moved too fast and touched something she shouldn't have touched."
Flames ignited in the city outside the window, and the huge city reflection reflected in West's eyes, "The institute branch can just provide us with enough extraordinary sacrifices, and your arrival has improved the quality of our sacrifices." Going one step further, of course this plan is indeed very hasty and cannot withstand careful inspection, but..."
He turned back and looked at Wu Lan, "As long as we are fast enough, then nothing is a problem, right?"
He turned around completely and looked at the pile of firewood behind him. A faint, flowing red light flowed in the lines under his feet, converging under the pile of firewood in the center.
"Ma'am, time for communication is over. Trust me, the process is quick and painless. It's a pleasure to be one with the chaos."
The surrounding guards set up controlled 'hostages' one by one, and placed them along the central firewood in a semi-arc with an opening facing West.
These people seemed to have been hungry for a long time. Most of them were injured and shackled, and they had almost no ability to resist.
Xia Ye and the staff of the institute branch were also brought over and placed near the outside.
There is a clock hanging directly above the hall, and the second hand is ticking.
Wu Lan bit her bloody lower lip, glanced at West who was watching her beside her, and then without hesitation, bumped towards West.
This sudden attack seemed to exceed the expectations of West and the thin man beside him. West lost his balance for a moment, and then was led by Wu Lan and crashed into the huge glass floor-to-ceiling window.
boom--
With a crisp sound, the thick floor-to-ceiling window glass shattered.
The flying glass fragments scattered like water droplets, and the high-altitude wind had almost blown through West's hair.
But in the end, West's footsteps stopped at the edge of the floor and was not knocked out of the building by the sudden attack.
"Miss,"
Feeling the high-altitude wind blowing on his back, West stared at Wu Lan, who was struggling to hit her, and stretched out his hand to strangle her neck.
He exerted force on his arm, like throwing a doll, and threw the woman in his hand, and she fell right into the pile of firewood.
"Ahem..."
Wu Lan struggled to lift her upper body from the firewood and coughed out a little blood.
The ponytail on the back of her head has long been scattered, and the long loose hair is draped on her shoulders and chest, with some strands covering a small part of her fair face.
"If this is your last resort, I'm afraid it's a pity."
West watched Wu Lan calmly, and walked step by step towards Wu Lan in the firewood pile. The thin man beside him pulled out a thin sword and handed it to West's hand respectfully.
"If you want to wait for someone to save you."
West raised the rapier in his hand, and the clock hanging in the air moved toward twelve o'clock. A thin, slightly mocking smile appeared on the man's cheek.
"I'm sorry, except for everyone here, no one knows that we are here, and no one will know that I am here, including the B-level ones from your institute and that 'Hao Yi', and by the time they know, everything is over ”
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the crowd and tried to stop West.
The skinny man standing next to West raised his foot without hesitation and kicked the figure away.
"leaf!"
Wu Lan looked at the figure who was kicked away and shouted hurriedly.
Xia Ye, who was kicked away, hit the wall and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Touching friendship, pity, beautiful lady,"
The thin sword in West's hand drew an arc of light in the air. He looked at Wu Lan with a slightly arrogant and mocking smile on his face, "The game is over."
Raging flames suddenly burst out from the center of the firewood, and then instantly filled the entire firewood pile. The dazzling red light flowed through the lines that filled the hall, lighting up the entire space.
Outside the endless time and space, there seems to be a vast existence, opening his eyes and looking here.
The palpitating breath made everyone tremble.
"The great god of chaos!"
West raised his hands excitedly. He raised his head, as if looking at the ceiling above his head, and as if looking at the great existence beyond endless time and space.
He shouted loudly in a voice that was close to a roar, "I have realized that order in the universe is a miracle, and everything is in chaos..."
boom-
The roar of the train interrupted all words. The man standing in the middle of the hall, hissing wildly and holding a rapier, was directly hit by the huge front of the train and flew out of the broken floor-to-ceiling window.
The woman lying in the raging fire only saw the wide vehicle suddenly blocking her vision.
She watched the wheel passing through the void pass through the flames, and let out a long sigh of relief.
She struggled to get up from the firewood, but after trying a few times, she lay back down. The flames of the firewood were not hot, but they carried a twisted and chaotic atmosphere, which kept invading her body. , making her weaker and weaker.
At this moment, a broad palm passed through the flames and stopped in front of her.
She stared at the palm, stared at the figure holding out the palm, smiled, raised her hand with difficulty, and held the palm.
Immediately afterwards, she felt a huge force coming from the arm, pulling her out of the fire and falling into the wide carriage.
"Ahem—"
She sat on the ground leaning against the wall of the carriage and looked at the young man standing at the door. She was in a daze for a moment. She opened her mouth and joked, "I thought you weren't coming."
"The space around here is a little weird, it took a while."
Ho shrugged.
He knew that Wu Lan actually didn't care about this. When she agreed to the plan, she put her life in his hands.
She believed that 'Hao Yi' would definitely come.
At the same time, He Ao took out a can from his pocket and handed it to Wu Lan.
"You also went to Xitu?"
Wu Lan looked at the can, was stunned for a moment, and took it, "Thank you."
This can is a 'nutrition can' given to He Ao by Yang De. It can quickly recover from injuries. It has been on He Ao's body since he returned from the Navigator.
And it's not particularly easy to imagine that 'Hao Yi' could get something from He Ao. After all, the two of them had fought side by side when they went to the Navigator before.
So He Ao went directly back to Xitu and brought this nutritional can.
At the same time, the Shadowless Sword also appeared in He Ao's hand. He raised his hand and slashed open the shackles in Wu Lan's hand.
"correct,"
At this time, Wu Lan suddenly realized that something was quiet. She looked at He Ao and asked, "Did you knock something out just now?"
boom-
A giant hand clawed up from the edge of the broken floor-to-ceiling window.
I'm feeling a little unwell, plus I'm stuck in Calvin, so I'll be late for a long time.
It feels like an update at noon is unlikely.
So make some adjustments. Starting from tomorrow, it will be updated every day at 19:00 pm. There should be no errors in this (I’m sure).
