Silence, a long silence.
There was silence inside the car.
Zhang Xiaoman did not rush Brother Haohan, he was waiting for the other party to make a choice.
"Xiaoman, let me join. If there are any difficulties in the future, we brothers will face them together."
Finally, the good guy gave the answer.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't ask for the reason anymore. He could more or less guess what the other party was thinking.
Just as people pursue the extraordinary, when an opportunity to become an awakened person is placed in front of you, how many people can give up calmly?
"I understand. If this is the case, come to me tomorrow and I will take you to a place." Zhang Xiaoman said.
The good man nodded when he heard this.
"By the way, what was that rumor you told me on the phone before? Why did you say that the company's relocation was related to extraordinary events?"
"Well, actually it's a long story... Do you remember Sheep Village?"
Zhang Xiaoman showed a look of reminiscence: "I remember, we went there to have a farmhouse before, and my sister-in-law brought a tent with her, but it turned out to be a hat for her, and we laughed at her for several days."
The good man nodded and said, "Yes, that's right there! It happened on the fifth day you left."
"I was at work that day, and suddenly I heard a loud noise coming from there, which shocked us all. It was a sunny day, and I still remember that after the noise, a group of people in our group discussed what happened. In the end, I thought it was a bolt from the blue, and I thought it was thunder from the sky."
"But then, we faintly heard a roar, which felt like the cry of a synthesized Tyrannosaurus rex in movies. But some people said it was a passing ship playing the flute in the canal, but I always felt that it didn't look like it. It’s not like I haven’t heard the sound of that boat before, when has it ever been like this?”
"Oh? What happens next?"
Brother Haohan smacked his lips and said: "Then, you may not believe it. Not long after that strange scream ended, the Sheep Village started setting off firecrackers. It lasted for most of the day, crackling..."
"Crackling? Firecrackers?" Zhang Xiaoman frowned, "Could it be the sound of gunshots...?"
The good guy slapped his thigh: "Yes! I thought so at the time, but they didn't believe it. I told them that there might be a monster coming, and our army was fighting the monster. But those guys didn't believe any of them. , and said I had seen too much..."
"Well...if we look at it according to normal logic, the possibility you mentioned is indeed not high..."
"Ahem, Xiaoman, please stop teasing me, okay? I'm telling you, the news in Sheep Village had just come out one morning, and our company issued a holiday notice at noon, and everyone couldn't do it in the afternoon. Come."
"You don't know. All the companies in the entire East District Industrial Park were on holiday at that time. Not to mention how spectacular the scene was. The road was full of police cars to maintain order."
"So you just gave your leave to the company directly?" Zhang Xiaoman asked.
"Yes, I thought I could take a break at the beginning, but who could have imagined that things would turn out like this. I saw someone in the company group saying that they saw military vehicles on the road, and then I understood I’m afraid something really happened.”
Brother Haohan said and changed his posture again, and continued: "I called you at that time, but it said that you were not in the service area, so I couldn't contact you."
"Oh, by the way, look at these two." He took out his mobile phone, fiddled with it a few times, pulled up a web page, and handed it to Zhang Xiaoman.
The latter took it and looked at it, and saw the title above, "The Qinglong Army will be stationed in Qionghua City for a month-long military exercise..."
"And here."
He pointed out another piece of news.
"Qionghua City East District Industrial Park is being demolished, and the East Bus Station is temporarily relocated to Huaban Road..."
Zhang Xiaoman briefly glanced at these two articles. They were very short and did not even have pictures. He just used a few lines of text to briefly explain the situation, and then reminded people to avoid driving on the road, and then ended hastily. .
"They said it was a drill, it would take at least a month, and then they had to demolish and rebuild the industrial park, so all the companies moved out. Anyway, I feel like something is wrong here. I don't know if it's because of those monsters..."
Zhang Xiaoman frowned, thinking deeply about what the good man said.
To say that it is unusual, it must not have escaped. Judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that some troublesome monster has appeared. It is even possible that a dimensional crack has been found there. Otherwise, the nearby people would not have to be evacuated. .
However, although Zhang Xiaoman was very curious about the situation over there in Sheep Village, he would not be stupid enough to just run over and investigate. Since the Qinglong Army is already stationed there, there is nothing wrong with him.
After all, his current focus is on the Star Alliance, and he cannot participate in these matters for the time being. He needs to further improve his strength.
"It seems that after the world background changed, there are more and more monsters..." Zhang Xiaoman muttered softly, then turned to look at Brother Haohan.
"Hero, let's not worry about this matter for the time being. I have found an excellent place as a foundation for development. I will take you there tomorrow to have a look and help you with your spiritual enlightenment."
He said and opened the car door, and the good man followed him out.
"Xiao Man, don't worry, I will practice hard and kill more monsters when the time comes!"
Seeing his ambitious look, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but patted his shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.
In fact, he didn't expect the hero to become a powerful fighting force at all.
The main reason why Zhang Xiaoman wanted to help the other party perform spiritual enlightenment was to give him some ability to protect himself. After all, this guy already knew so many things, and he would definitely not be able to hide if he wanted to.
Therefore, instead of leaving the other party helpless when encountering danger, it is better to help him awaken so that he can have some resistance, at least until he can rush over to support him.
After all, Brother Haohan has been his brother since childhood. Zhang Xiaoman asked himself that he was not a lonely person. Now that he has the ability, he naturally wants to help him.
Moreover, what he paid was not much, just some materials needed to set up the spiritual formation.
"Okay, I will go back later. If you can keep these things from your sister-in-law, don't tell her. The situation is quite stable now. We have to take advantage of this period to complete the early accumulation. After our strength improves, we will consider Other things.”
Zhang Xiaoman said with concern.
His current goal is actually very clear, which is to improve his strength. At the current stage of the Star Alliance, there is no need to think about saving the world at all.
He only needs to hide behind the scenes temporarily, use this time to develop his power, and strive to gain enough power to protect himself before the real crisis comes.
The Star Alliance is not the savior, at least not for the time being, because it does not have the corresponding strength, so this is why Zhang Xiaoman did not plan to check it out after learning about the Sheep Village.
"Okay, I hope that great fusion you mentioned can come later. It's best to wait until I'm in a divine costume before showing up..." Brother Haohan said with a smile.
The two were about to leave while they were talking. When Zhang Xiaoman turned around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something hanging on a pillar not far away from him.
"careful!"
A quick shout sounded. Before Zhang Xiaoman finished speaking, his right hand had already touched the water gun in his pocket. He raised his hand and fired two bullets.
At the same time, the thing on the pillar also screamed strangely and flew towards the location of the two people.
Zhang Xiaoman didn't hesitate at all after firing two holy water bullets. He stepped aside and grabbed a handful of the handsome guy who was standing there.
"Whoosh!"
"呲~~"
Two sounds rang out one after another in the empty underground garage. The first sound was the sound of the attacker passing through the air as he passed by the two men. The second sound was the sound of his sharp claws scratching through the cement after hitting the ground. The friction sound caused.
"Wow wow wow~ quack~ wow wow~!"
A series of painful wails sounded from below. The attacker was lying on the ground rolling around. The two holy water bombs that Zhang Xiaoman had just hit had shattered and splashed onto his body.
The black mist was like dirt evaporated by flames, rising outside the monster's body. Where the holy water hit, there was a burning wound spreading outward.
"Ah! This is...this is that kind of monster!"
The good man finally reacted at this time. He pointed at the twisting and struggling red figure on the ground, his face full of shock.
Zhang Xiaoman's gun was always pointed at the monster on the ground, and his attention was always on the side. He is different from the good guy. After so many hunts, he is no longer the rookie he was at the beginning.
Now when he suddenly encounters a monster, his first reaction is not to scream in panic, but to take immediate countermeasures.
"Xiao, Xiaoman...how could there be a monster...I was scared to death just now..."
The good man looked at the little demon who had gradually stopped struggling on the ground with a face that was about to survive, and his hands couldn't help but tremble a little.
The little demon has a pair of red eyes and a two-inch long horn on the top of its head. It has no hair on its body, its skin is dark red, its body is small and powerful, and its sharp nails on its palms are like eight daggers that shine with cold light, making people's scalp numb when they see it.
"207, 213, 216...activate...207, 213, 216...activate!"
Zhang Xiaoman didn't have time to respond to Brother Hao's question at this time. He muttered a few words in his mouth, then stretched out his finger and touched it in front of his eyes, and his eyes suddenly emitted a burst of silver-white light.
The good guy on the side was immediately stunned when he saw this. He wanted to ask the other party what the method was, but suddenly saw the latter making a silencing gesture towards him, which had already reached his throat. The words he said were swallowed hard again.
What Zhang Xiaoman used on himself just now was naturally the Spirit Detection Technique. With his current proficiency, it only took 4 seconds to complete the arrangement of the formulas required for the Spirit Detection Technique. After two successful activations, This skill was successfully activated.
However, when his spirit detection technique was activated, the sight he saw around him made his expression change.
In his sensory field of vision, in a dark place in the underground garage, there were dozens of figures surrounding the two of them. Looking at the silhouettes, they were all the monsters just now!
The little refining demon actually lives in groups!
"Quick, get back in the car!" Zhang Xiaoman shouted to the good man.
He sensed his remaining dark energy, and there was still 125 points left. If he were to activate a soul-absorbing technique, he should be able to return to 145 points, which was just enough for him to activate two skills!
Star Guard, and physical enhancement!
The first is Star Guard. This skill learned through the system light ball can be activated instantly as long as he has a need in his mind. Of course, Zhang Xiaoman used it first.
With a burst of dark energy gathering, the two tall figures suddenly turned from illusory to solid. In just 5 breaths, they turned into two star guards wearing armor.
After the Star Guard skill is activated, the next step is to increase the physical fitness.
The physical enhancement skill consumes 110 points of dark energy. Before activating it, Zhang Xiaoman also used a soul-absorbing technique to restore his own energy.
Because it was a formula he had just learned, Zhang Xiaoman had only cast it once and was not very familiar with it. Therefore, he was not very fast when casting it this time. Although the formula was very simple, he spent a lot of money to ensure that he could succeed in one go. It took more than ten seconds to complete the arrangement.
Fortunately, this casting was very successful, and there was no such thing as an own-goal situation where the chain dropped midway.
Perhaps he discovered that there were two more targets suddenly, and the group of little demon demons that were surrounding them all stopped. Zhang Xiaoman could still vaguely hear a cry of "Wow wow wow wow".
Seeing the opponent stop, Zhang Xiaoman was also happy. His physical enhancement needed 1 minute to increase before reaching the full 20 points of additional physical fitness. The opponent's hesitation gave him enough preparation before the battle.
"1, 2, 3...7, 9...13! 13!!!"
Zhang Xiaoman used his psychic sense to count the number of little demons one by one. In the end, he was surprised to find that there were as many as 13. Counting the two that died earlier, the number of this group had reached 15.
This is the first time he has faced so many monsters at the same time since he gained extraordinary power.
In the car, Brother Haohan almost stared out of his eyes when he saw the two burly figures suddenly appearing outside the window. He had seen Zhang Xiaoman kill monsters before, but that was only when he used holy water bombs. At most, he used the Starry Eyes skill when absorbing monster corpses. How had he ever seen such a battle before? ?
He opened his mouth, and just as he was about to ask his friend what was going on and why he suddenly put on such a posture, he heard a wah-wah sound coming from deep in the garage. He had experienced this twice. Now I understand what it means.
"Monsters! So many monsters!"
The good man exclaimed. As the little demons came closer, he could see the pairs of red eyes flashing in the darkness.
"How could this happen...Xiaoman...are you sure? How about we get in the car and retreat first?"
The light here is already dark, and those twenty-odd red eyes are indeed scary enough in such an environment. The good man never expected that there were so many terrifying existences hidden deep in the garage where there was no light all year round.
