"Cough... cough cough..."
A violent coughing sound came from the center of the explosion.
When the smoke cleared, a huge sinkhole with a diameter of more than fifty meters and a depth of nearly twenty meters appeared on the edge of the town.
Ana Shen was lying at the bottom of the sinkhole at this time.
A lot of mud and water had overflowed from the bottom of the pit, soaking half of his body.
"Ahem...is it over?"
Ana Shen coughed and looked around, thick blood continuously flowing out of his mouth.
His lower body was soaked in muddy water, and the cold water temperature almost made him lose consciousness.
However, with the slightest exertion, he felt the pain of being cut by countless blades all over his body, forcing him to give up the idea of getting up.
Ana Shen endured the pain of almost breaking her neck, lowered her head and looked at her body.
He found that his body seemed to have turned into a cracked porcelain.
These cracks started from his chest, spread to his limbs, and even his fingers were broken into several sections.
In the middle of these cracks, there is no blood flowing out. Instead, black spiritual energy can be vaguely seen, slowly squirming in it like a colloid.
It seemed that it was these psychic powers that maintained the injuries on his body and prevented his body from completely turning into a pile of minced flesh.
The moment the explosion occurred, the clown returned control of his body to Ana Shen, and he used his last spiritual energy to cover the surface of Ana Shen's body, forming a protective shield.
However, even so, Shen Yan, who was at the center of the collision, still shattered.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Just a movement of lowering his head already involved the wound in his chest, and Ana Shen couldn't help but cough violently.
Ana Shen coughed and asked: "You have paid such a big price...so what on earth are you going to do?"
He felt that the clown's aura had become very weak, so weak that it was almost as weak as the first time he tore the monster off someone's head out of curiosity and the first time he saw him.
No, it's even worse than before.
At least at that time, I was still healthy.
"Hey, look what I found?"
Ana Shen's question was not answered, but a broken Chinese sentence came from the edge of the sinkhole. Immediately afterwards, a white man wearing a camouflage tactical uniform appeared at the edge of the sinkhole.
It was still dark, and all the surrounding luminous plants were destroyed in the explosion. Fortunately, the green mist surrounding the place had almost dissipated, and the bright silver moonlight shone down, so it was not completely dark.
Ana Shen was lying at the bottom of the pit facing the moonlight, and could only see a blurry figure appearing on the edge of the pit.
Kafu stood on the edge of the sinkhole, squatting down and looking down at Shen Yan in the sinkhole, raising the corners of his mouth: "A water bird that pecked oysters and got stuck in its mouth?"
“‘When fish sticks fight, the fishermen gain’, that’s what they say, right?”
Listening to the man's bad accent, Ana Shen instinctively narrowed her eyes: "The bald eagle in Uptown?"
After the establishment of the Federation, urban areas were divided and countries were eliminated. The original intention is to promote the common emergence of mankind, so that countries will no longer set up technological barriers to each other, and to bring all the smartest people together to achieve technological leaps.
In the first ten years since the establishment of the Federation, human technology has indeed achieved a qualitative leap. Not only has it built a large and complete space station, it has even established a complete ecosystem on Mars.
Soon, however, new problems began to arise.
First of all, cities 1-9 in Shangcheng District, which gather 90% of all mankind's wealth and all scientific research knowledge, have gradually become the heart and brain of human society with their unparalleled advantages.
New medicines, new technologies, and even new foods are all launched in these cities and then spread to the whole world.
Cities 1-9 have become a paradise for everyone, especially scientific researchers.
Especially after the elimination of countries, scientific and technological talents are highly concentrated. However, this also causes talent gaps in other regions.
City No. 18, where Ana Shen is located, belongs to the middle city area and can keep up with the development of human society.
However, in Xiacheng District, which ranks even lower, due to the lack of core competitiveness, local companies have closed down one after another, population outflow has become more serious, and people's living standards have even regressed.
After that, cities 1 to 9 began to collectively set immigration requirements and barriers. People could no longer enter and exit the uptown area at will, and it was even more difficult to find a job there.
Not long ago, Dr. Joelson from City No. 1 made a public statement. He claimed that "the development of human civilization can only rely on 1,000 elites."
They have better genes, smarter brains, and better education. They hold 90% of mankind's invention patents. It can be said that the elites in the upper city are at the head of the train of human society, while other urban areas are just being used by others. It was towed in the back compartment.
Sometimes it's more like a burden.
But now, this 'Celestial Dragon' who should have been on the other side of the earth has now appeared here, at this point in time...
Feeling that the green psychic energy was almost completely dissipated around her, Ana Shen breathed out and cursed secretly: "...I should have thought of it a long time ago."
It can be known from the clown that Cheng Haige was expelled from the laboratory long ago, but he still completed his experiment here without anyone noticing.
Whether it's finding a site, organizing experiments, recruiting those who have been eliminated as test subjects, or going to City 18 to seize the Eye of the Rabbit Duke, it's not something that Cheng Haige can handle as a researcher.
All this shows that there is a mysterious organization behind Cheng Haige.
In fact, Ana Shen had already thought of this conclusion before coming here. It was also because he guessed that there were forces behind Cheng Hai Pavilion that he asked Bai Ye to take the soldiers from the Special Affairs Bureau to carry out the mission.
However, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and there were two things that he did not expect.
One is that Cheng Haige was successfully promoted despite losing more than 60% of his qualifications, and he also possessed extremely terrifying pollution abilities. Even outside the situation, meeting his eyes will still be tainted.
This makes the reinforcements from the Special Affairs Bureau almost useless.
The second point is that he did not expect that the force that was supposed to be Cheng Haige's backer did not show up at the most intense moment of their collision, but only appeared when both of them were hurt.
Kafu stood on the edge of the sinkhole and waited for a long time before receiving Ana Shen's response.
But he still didn't take the risk of jumping down, and didn't even mean to turn on the light to observe. He only looked at each other with the black guy next to him. The black guy smiled and showed his bright white teeth, and then put the gun on his back behind him. The huge metal box fell down.
"Bang!"
The black metal box, which was 150cm high and looked like a freezer, hit the ground hard, creating a deep hole in the ground.
The black man named Eddie clicked a few times on the metal box machine with his hands. The tight-fitting appearance of the metal box suddenly split, and the split iron pieces were linked by blue arcs and began to rearrange themselves.
With a clicking sound, a huge insect nest made of black metal appeared on the ground.
"Every awakened person is the biggest source of pollution. In fact, we have realized this many years ago."
"So, we have a unique way of dealing with people like you."
As Colonel Kraft spoke, he took out a silver metal rod from the pocket of his coat. As he squeezed it hard, the metal rod lit up with a blue-purple light, and a vague and special wave came from The metal rod came up.
As if attracted by this wave of fluctuations, the metal insect nest suddenly began to vibrate, and then a large amount of silver-gray metallic liquid overflowed from the various holes in the insect nest and began to flow towards Colonel Kraft.
Before the metallic liquid flowed onto him, he threw the metal rod in his hand into the sinkhole at his feet.
"This method of processing is far more efficient, safe, and elegant than you think!"
As the metal rod fell into the pit, the mercury-like liquid suddenly gave up on Colonel Kraft and converged crazily into the sinkhole.
If you look at it with a microscope, these mercury-like liquids are actually a group of nanorobots.
They followed the signal released by the metal rod and swarmed toward the bottom of the pit.
At this time, Ana Shen's weak voice finally came from the bottom of the pit: "A few years ago... at that time, the cracks had not yet appeared, and you had already started research on psychic powers?"
