Chapter 1237: New Life (Ninety-Three)
The man also seemed to have the carcass of an animal in his hand, and when I looked closely, I saw that it was the translucent monster just now......
And this person is not Qianqian......
The man's face was clearly recognizable, a man I had never seen before.
But although I didn't know him, Zhao Youkuang behind me let out an exclamation and called out a person's name at the same time.
I immediately understood that this should be one of the "three men" before, and now Yuegang is in Qin Yao's hands, so this man is one of the other two men.
It's just how did he end up here?
As soon as Zhao Youkuang saw that it was an "acquaintance", he was about to step forward to inquire about the situation, but I immediately stopped her and asked her to retreat quickly, and at the same time pulled out the mountain knife and aimed it in his direction.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Youkuang's IQ had a feeling of going up and down......
"What's wrong with you, this man is eighty percent affected by energy!" I said.
"How is this possible...... He is the core figure in the Origin Project, and his rejection of energy is definitely expert!" Zhao Youkuang said: "He seems to be injured!"
However, although Zhao Youkuang said so, she was quite shrewd, and immediately retracted into the protective circle of many translucent monsters after my reminder, leaving only me and the strange man confronting each other.
I stared at the man's movements, he had just killed the translucent monster without even making any sound, it could be seen how exaggerated this guy's combat power was, and I felt that even if I let myself exert all my energy, I might not be his opponent.
Now it is natural to save my life, and I know very well in my heart that if necessary, I will definitely give priority to escaping by myself, as for Zhao Youkuang's life...... I can only try to fight for her, and if saving her will affect my own safety, I will not hesitate to leave her.
After all...... The value of my life is much higher than hers, even if there is no Zhao Youkuang, we can also have Ouyang Shuo and Ouyang Jingjing as guides on the way to Langli Island in Myanmar.
Of course...... The premise is that you have to find her first.
The man stood motionless like a sculpture at this point, and after so much fighting, it became clear to me that this was not to say that he was not hostile to us, but only that there must be a hidden person behind him who controlled him.
The only reason why this man is standing still now is because the person controlling him has not yet given instructions, and my main goal now is to find out where the person who is hiding behind it, or where the source of energy is!
Before the man could react, I began to quietly mobilize all the energy in my body, trying to sense the hidden energy source nearby.
This time it was really rewarding!
I felt a faint but clear source of energy near us, right behind us, in terms of direction!
And directly behind me is Zhao Youkuang and those translucent monsters she controls!
I had just noticed this when I heard a sudden shout diagonally across from me, where the four little children were, from the little boy with the scar on the back of his head.
I saw him suddenly cover his neck, feeling like he was about to suffocate.
I was startled, and just as I wanted to help, I suddenly realized that the energy source I had just felt was rapidly approaching us......! How does it feel like you're going through a wall?
I immediately turned around and shouted for Zhao Youkuang to get out of there quickly, and before the words fell, I heard a loud "boom" from the wall where Zhao Youkuang was.
......
The walls didn't collapse, and the loud bang was more like the sound of a simple burst of energy.
The walls of the underground facilities here are extremely strong, and even half of the explosives are difficult to destroy, and although among all the energy, only the spiritual energy has a low destructive power against non-Gu things, but it does not mean that the other energy categories can be so strong, so this sound only scared Zhao Youkuang into panic at most, and she herself was not injured.
Zhao Youkuang flicked and jumped, and then moved away from the wall behind him, and at the same time, he shot a large ball of blood-melted stone bullets at the wall over there like crazy.
No way......
This is terrible, if it was the kind of gravel gun we used before, because the firing rate was not high, so the bullets poured out in a short period of time could not cause devastating damage to such a hard wall, but now these Americans are really well-equipped, and the gravel gun has also been transformed like a machine gun, and the wall over there was almost instantly torn out by a large amount of blood melt stone, and then the entire wall also collapsed.
The moment the wall collapsed, I saw in horror a short, flickering figure on the other end.
That's right......
It's Qianqian!
Although I could tell at a glance that this was just a remnant of Qianqian's consciousness, it still made me feel like I was distracted.
"Qianqian?" even Zhao Youkuang shouted unexpectedly.
"Get out of there!" Before I could finish speaking, Zhao Youkuang retreated to my side by himself, and at the same time commanded those translucent monsters to block the position of Qianqian's consciousness remnant.
However, Qianqian's remnants of consciousness did not attack us in any way, she just stood still like the man just now.
......
Speaking of the four children behind us, except for the little boy, the other three children also began to suffocate violently, and I soon found that I myself was suffering from a certain degree of breathlessness.
This is completely different from chest tightness, my previous chest tightness was at most like something pressing my ribcage and making my breathing not particularly smooth, but now it feels more like someone has blocked my airway!
I quickly scanned around, trying to figure out the source, but there was nothing around but the dust left behind by the collapse of the wall.
Then I refocused my gaze on Qianqian's remnants of consciousness and the strange man beside me!
It seems that it is impossible to get out of trouble without making a break with them, and I can't use energy attacks right now, which only leads to me having little hope of winning against that remnant of Qianqian's consciousness, so ...... I decided to prioritize the weird man in front of me.
Just as I was thinking about it for a short time, those translucent monsters also began to react violently one after another, and they all looked like they were about to die.
I don't think they and those four children will last long, and now it seems that even Zhao Youkuang himself is starting to have the same situation.
"Quick!" I pointed at the strange man and shouted at Zhao Youkuang, "Let those monsters of your hand help!
I originally thought that Zhao Youkuang might hesitate, but I still overestimated how much she cared about her companions, and she almost didn't hesitate to chant a few Gu spells, mobilizing those translucent monsters to collectively run towards the man.
During this time, I have also been observing Qianqian's actions, but fortunately, "she" has not yet shown any signs of attacking us.
Although the translucent monsters themselves were all suffocating, they still forcibly rushed over, and at the same time, the strange man really took action, I saw it suddenly step forward, and directly met the group of translucent monsters, almost instantly grabbed the neck of a translucent monster with both hands.
The moment these translucent monsters were choked, their bodies instantly became clear, and from my previous experience with them, when they became transparent, it was actually time to die......
Really...... The next moment, the two translucent monsters fell to the ground one after another, and after a few convulsions, they completely remained motionless.
In less than ten seconds, the two translucent monsters were killed, and the remaining translucent monsters' combat power was also in jeopardy, I knew that they wouldn't attract much time for me, so I went around the man's back as fast as I could, and slashed at the back of his head.
I was going to kill with one blow, but when I raised my knife and looked down, all of a sudden, I hallucinated again.
That's right...... This time, I immediately understood that it was not true, because I had already been mentally prepared for this.
However, this did not work, because the hallucination brought me overwhelming dizziness, and I immediately lost my sense of direction, and the knife in my hand was naturally crooked......
I hurriedly used the method I had just used to force myself out of the illusion again.
The scene in front of you returned to normal...... The man threw two more translucent monsters to the ground......
The hallucinations came again......
If I'm not mistaken, this should be the ghost of "Qianqian" in the distance, and she is also trying to protect this man.
And after forcibly getting rid of the illusion for the second time, I saw the opportunity, and while the third wave of hallucinations had not yet arrived, I tried my best to send the blade into the back of the man's head......
The man let out a muffled snort, and the strength on his body was instantly lost, I took the opportunity to pull out the knife, and stabbed him in the back of the heart, and the man finally "pounced" and fell to the ground without reacting......
......
In an instant, my suffocation disappeared, and then I heard Zhao Youkuang let out a few violent gasps similar to those after being rescued from drowning.
"It's dangerous......" Zhao Youkuang said.
I saw that Zhao Youkuang was fine, so I hurriedly looked at the four children, and found that their faces were all pale now, but fortunately, they did know me now, and there was no resistance to my approach.
Zhao Youkuang seemed to want to say a few cool words, but she still didn't choose to speak in the end.
And those translucent monsters were not so lucky, even if they were not strangled to death by the strange man, they were killed in the strong suffocation before.
Although it is said that the energy in this place is imprisoned, I am sure that the suffocation sensation just now is obviously caused by energy, which is not surprising, because this suffocation feeling is brought to us by "Qianqian"!
Then I quickly looked towards the location where Qianqian's remnant of consciousness was just now, only to find that "she" was now long gone.
......
What is this? Count me defeating her?
But I always feel that things are not so simple, and even if I really defeat "her", it is just a remnant of consciousness that defeated Qianqian, you must know that there are countless Qianqian phantoms that I saw from the clouds before, and this one is simply a drop in the bucket.
Either way, at least we're out of danger now.
The four children slowed down for a while, and then returned to normal.
The current Zhao Youkuang's attitude is obviously much more restrained than just now, and the reason is very simple, because the translucent monsters around her now are all dead......
But I didn't take the opportunity to threaten her, firstly, because I didn't want to worsen the relationship with her, and secondly, because Zhao Youkuang just now actually let those translucent monsters die in order to save us all.
"What the hell are they?" I asked, pointing to the translucent monster corpses on the ground.
"It used to be human, too. Zhao Youkuang immediately said: "I was turned into what I am now by Yuegang with a special method. ”
I frowned: "Don't they think it's cruel for them to make living people like this?"
"Of course not alive, but only semi-infected. Zhao Youkuang said with an indifferent look.
My heart trembled, and I said that it was no wonder that those semi-infected people wanted to rebel to the side of the Taoyuan Island people, but I didn't think that Zhao Youkuang didn't treat them as human beings at all.
Now it seems that the semi-infected who work as laborers are a better destination.
"Is that part of the Origin Project?" I asked.
Zhao Youkuang nodded.
"What happened to those Americans before that, and why did they target these kids?" I asked.
Zhao Youkuang obviously didn't expect me to ask this question, his expression froze slightly, and then he said: "They don't know how to learn about the content of the Origin Plan, and now they want to intercept Yue Gang and these children, and I don't want to kill them, but there is no other way." ”
I know that this Zhao Youkuang must have something to hide, but it is impossible to force her to tell the whole truth about this matter for a while.
Moreover, Zhao Youkuang had now taken the lead in looking out of the passage, and then turned back to me and said, "Xiao Chen, follow me, I'll take you to meet Yuegang!"
Rendezvous with Yue Gang means rendezvous with Qin Yao, and now there is not much left before the time we agreed to return, I can't delay in the slightest, so I immediately agreed.
I don't know if it's because I defeated one of Qianqian's remnants of consciousness just now, but I find that I can use some light energy again.
However, I didn't tell Zhao Youkuang about this situation, because in the face of a cunning woman, I must always leave a backup move.
Zhao Youkuang led us back to the vicinity of the low collapse area before.
