Youtufang. Fierce fire, thick smoke, and screams one after another, Jiang Tian suddenly felt the heat rushing towards his face. Did he wear it again? The last moment before leaving, the little round face and the big eyes full of tears seemed to still be vivid in my mind.
It was the same morning time, under the faint morning glow. Jiang Tian felt the countdown remaining in his field of vision and slowly spoke:
"My time is running out."
"Ancestor, then Man'er, what should we do next?"
The round face, which had already changed into a brocade robe and crown, was somewhat reluctant and choked:
"Of course you have to be strong and confident. I believe that all the hardships in the world will only make you stronger."
And Jiang Tian encouraged him with the last bit of chicken soup for the soul:
"Whatever you want to do, as long as you determine the direction, then do your best to work hard for it! Only then will my efforts to cross the border and save you from danger be worth it...
Think more when things happen, and try to rely on the wisdom of others; but don't slack off, and don't trust or rely on anyone; try to understand it yourself as much as possible.
If you are not sure, you might as well tolerate it and show weakness for the time being, do what you can, and wait and see how things get better.
In the meantime, try to remember what I taught you. You may also have some means of self-preservation and independence. "
After secretly observing and screening the newly added servants, followers and guards for her again. Jiang Tian clung to her and refused to let go, then quietly returned with the last countdown. After just three days together, I still feel a bit sad and nostalgic in my heart:
After all, in a short period of shared adversity, how can we be ruthless if we are not just grass and trees? Perhaps everyone has a desire to be dependent and needed. Therefore, at the last moment, Jiang Tian couldn't help but relent, and gave her a false hope and motivation of "persevere, maybe we can meet again".
On the contrary, the current scene in the disciple's workshop gave him a somewhat unreal sense of alienation and detachment; as if he were a pure spectator. Only the "jump" reminder in the field of vision, which has been dimmed to the point of being almost invisible, is truly there.
The long bar representing energy in the field of view interface has also changed to "3.04" units; there is also an extra "auxiliary mode (sustainability/entry)" above the "auxiliary ability (guidance/peeping)" that has not yet been loaded. It represents his harvest from this space mission.
But on the contrary, after Jiang Tian finally completed "Survival Mission 2", except for a relatively small amount of overflowing energy, he did not unlock more functions and modes, which is a bit strange. However, at the next moment, a prompt flashed across the interface again:
"Severe damage to the body has been detected and energy is being used to repair... -0.01, -0.01, -0.01, -0.01, -0.01..."
As the numbers on the interface continued to decrease, Jiang Tian suddenly realized that he had suffered serious injuries when he suddenly jumped randomly before. The next moment, his consciousness was spinning, and his eyes suddenly regained the sense of reality.
But when he sat up, he found that the clothes on his body had been tattered into silk jackets. They could only hang lightly on his body, without any covering or warmth effect. The early spring chill that came with the night wind immediately soaked into his exposed skin, making him shiver.
However, Jiang Tian only belatedly realized that the important news had arrived, and the choking smoke could not cover up the strong smell of blood. As he stood up, he saw the broken flesh and blood scattered on this wide street. A tragic scene with severed limbs.
Jiang Tian suddenly had a vague recollection. Apparently, he was also attacked by an unknown entity, causing him to throw himself on the street and die. Instead, one can only use consciousness to forcibly jump to foreign lands; and then use the energy collected by this half-baked system in the mission to repair the original carrier.
The next moment, he found fragments of the dagger that had been broken into several pieces and scattered on the ground and splashed on the wall; that was his only instinctive effort to counterattack the unknown presence at the last moment; but it obviously failed to work and was defeated instead. , just destroyed the weapon.
However, Jiang Tian still could not remember what the unknown person who slaughtered and torn apart so many people in the street looked like: he only remembered that the last moment of his memory was given by an irresistible force. It was torn apart and thrown away.
However, after confirming the temporary safety of the surrounding environment, Jiang Tian did not hesitate to find a few relatively intact and clean clothes from among the bloody corpses on the ground and put them on; only after he had worn them halfway At this moment, people came one after another through the thick smoke.
But when he saw Jiang Tian, who was putting on his clothes in the mess on the ground, he let out a loud scream and screams. Then he turned around in a hurry while shouting and screaming. He ran away; panicked as if he had seen a ghost out of thin air.
At this moment, Jiang Tian was helplessly supporting his head with his hands. After all, no matter how you look at it, the person who can stand among the corpses and wear clothes calmly seems to be the villain who caused the tragedy, or the mastermind behind it.
So, he quickly put on the ill-fitting clothes, picked up a relatively intact short knife and a dagger, and climbed up the wall without hesitation, stepping on the ruins of the burned roof eaves and broken walls, Just stay away from this tragic scene.
After hearing the news, they also came back to the two ends of Broad Street in disguise, but they bumped into each other head-on. They clashed and fought together in the street without hesitation, and the unknown groups and teams were temporarily left behind.
However, when Jiang Tian finally walked out of the fire and smoke after a lot of ups and downs, jumping and climbing according to his usual battlefield experience, he found that he was back in the vaguely familiar streets of the East District.
However, most of the buildings along the street had been burned to the ground, leaving only a pile of black ruins; among them could occasionally be seen the outlines of charred and huddled human figures. And stepping on the ashes that covered the ground, Jiang Tian returned to the old small building like a ghost.
However, all that appeared in front of him was a charred patch of embers. All traces of his life, everything he had collected, were all reduced to nothing in this incident and the subsequent fire. This couldn't help but make him a little sad.
Jiang Tianji then walked through the ruins and came to the backyard where he buried things. After peeling away the debris on top, Jiang Tianji was very pleased to see that the place where he buried the manuscript still had no trace of tampering.
On the contrary, the surrounding area where he deliberately shoveled away the land and then re-covered it was hastily dug out, with several potholes of varying depths. This is also part of the test of people's hearts that he deliberately left behind.
Now it is basically confirmed that more than one group of people are targeting him. Secondly, it seems that Zhou Bofu, the seemingly unreliable "bird walker" who met by chance, did not take the initiative to betray himself afterwards.
Immediately, a slight sound suddenly came from the ruins, making Jiang Tian alert again. He turned around and waited with his knife. However, the next moment he looked carefully at the source of the sound, his solemn face turned into a smile.
But it was a small animal that looked like black coal briquettes, nestling in the gap between half of the remaining pillars among the ruins, seeming to be relying on the residual heat to keep warm and avoid the biting cold of early spring;
Facing the "behemoth" that rushed in, he tried his best to arch his young body and bared his teeth, and let out a warning sound.
The next moment, it was picked up by Jiang Tian with quick eyesight and quick hands. Only then did he realize that it was actually a half-grown cat with blue eyes that had not faded. But his whole body was dirty and black, and his fur was burned in several places. He was shivering in the air and became faintly stiff.
When Jiang Tian saw this, he couldn't help but get emotional. Although he has not been able to raise a cat because he has been traveling for many years, he is a frequent visitor to cat bars and cat cafes in his city. He has also used cloud cat-raising videos to comfort him during boring or chaotic travels.
After thinking about it, he wiped the dew on the fur with the hem of his clothes and stuffed it into his chest. Feeling the slightly cold and furry touch, snoring and itching in his underwear, Jiang Tian suddenly felt calm.
It was as if the panic, anxiety, confusion, depression, melancholy, etc. that had been faintly accumulated since being inexplicably thrown into this world, and the negative emotions that could not be expressed to others, had all temporarily disappeared, and were given away by something invisible. Cured generally.
However, this kind of emotional tranquility and moment of comfort did not last long; it was broken by a number of thugs who re-entered the street and carried objects on their backs. But this time, Jiang Tian took the initiative to wield a knife and dagger, walked out of the ruins and faced them...
I don't know how long it took, but more than a hundred survivors gathered and followed Jiang Tian again. With the huge noise resounding inside and outside again, the sounds of passwords and drums and trumpets, and the repeated shouts on the streets; the sky in Youtufang finally dawned...
