Chapter 1264: New Life (One Hundred and Twenty)
After all, I've known from the time I've fought these little monsters in the underground layer that once they lose sight, they'll lose their purpose for a while, which is why I'm doing it now.
And it did work, the moment the door collapsed, the noise outside instantly quieted down.
Duan Xiaoxiao still had a dull and empty look, but it was okay like this, at least she wouldn't make a sound.
Zhao Youkuang looked nervously holding the gravel gun at the position of the door, and at the same time pressed his voice and said to me: "What's going on!
I shook my head and motioned for her to stop talking, thinking quickly before a new crisis arose.
Well...... Judging from the few memory fragments that Qianqian showed me just now, the energy on Liu Yong and I should both belong to the same category as her, and the compatibility is extremely high, so in this case, these little monsters should not be hostile to me.
However, the truth is the opposite, whether it is now or in the underground layer just now, these little monsters have shown strong hostility towards me, and that seems to only mean one thing, these little monsters are not generated by Qianqian's energy at all!
That's right!
Qianqian was originally a substitute ghost, and the real culprit was Yuechen, so ...... The source of the energy of these monsters is probably also moon dust!
I found that Zhao Youkuang and I seemed to want to go together, because Zhao Youkuang was also mouthing at me at this time and saying the word "moon dust".
However...... I soon found out that Zhao Youkuang seemed to mean something else!
Xiao Chen...... Yuechen!It looks like she's coming!" Zhao Youkuang continued.
Isn't she still in our sewer camp with Liu Yong? And I was optimistic about her before leaving, why did she come here now?
However, this does not seem impossible, after all, most of the people in our sewer camp are now in a weakened state, and if Yuechen recovers later, or if she pretends to be in the first place, then it will be easy for her to escape.
Wait a minute...... Of course, Yuechen is pretended!Because now I already know that Qianqian is not a source of energy, so as the culprit, Yuechen can naturally do whatever she wants, how can she be affected by just the energy to be weak?
If that's the case, then I can only hope that Yuechen doesn't hurt other people when she leaves the camp.
But now I'm not so worried about them as I am worried about myself.
I don't know why Qianqian suddenly disappeared from Duan Xiaoxiao, but since Yuechen has come here, it must have something to do with her.
I also began to listen carefully to the footsteps outside, and sure enough, I soon heard a slight footstep, which did sound like Qianqian's movement.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and as the footsteps approached, the little monsters outside who surrounded us began to stir again, and it felt like they were going to reopen the entrance.
"Oh no! They seem to have discovered us!" Zhao Youkuang said, "Xiao Chen!
"Are there any underground floors in this ruined town?" I asked hurriedly.
I felt that since this was a former community of Bluebird's employees, and it was a place closely related to the core project of Project Origin, it was only natural that there would be a basement.
However, Zhao Youkuang shook his head and said that he didn't know: "I didn't come here before the catastrophe! Even after the disaster, this place was already in ruins, so how could I go here to investigate if I had nothing to do......! After all, this is the former territory of the Blue Jay!"
I nodded, it seems that Zhao Youkuang and I want to go together.
By this time, the stones at the entrance had begun to loosen, and I had to refill a few boulders to seal the entrance again, and then I took out my mountain knife and slashed at the ground.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Youkuang asked, "You want to open up the ground?"
"Otherwise, are you waiting to die here? Although I can't exert my energy, my strength is still there!" As I spoke, I picked up the mountain knife again and slashed at the ground a few times, only to hear a crisp "dong dong" sound from the ground.
"There really is a basement!" Zhao Youkuang said in surprise, and at the same time she also began to help with knives.
In less than a few minutes, I made a big hole, and there was a black hole underneath, but there was a cool breeze coming from below, which showed that there was no sealed underground layer below. On the contrary, it should be a completely open area down there!
Since it is not a dead end, and those little monsters are about to break in, there is no need for us to hesitate, I picked up Duan Xiaoxiao and planned to go down with her to explore the way first, but Duan Xiaoxiao actually sobered up at this time.
I only heard her say, "Brother Xiao Chen, where are we?"
As soon as I heard this, I knew that it was not Qianqian who was controlling Duan Xiaoxiao to speak, but Duan Xiaoxiao's own wishes.
"Xiaoxiao!We've been hunted down by some energy creatures!Now we have to retreat first!Can you find Yuegang through energy?" I asked as I jumped down with her in my arms.
The reason why I asked this was also to test Duan Xiaoxiao to see if she had any impression of what she said before about looking for Yuegang, so as to confirm whether Qianqian had controlled her when she said these words before.
However, the answer given by Duan Xiaoxiao was ambiguous, she said that she vaguely remembered saying such things, but she had no memory of what Qianqian had left in her.
In addition, Duan Xiaoxiao was positive about using energy to track Yue Gang, saying that Yue Gang's energy was still some distance away, and we still needed to continue to trek some distance in the direction of the north.
All in all, that period of Xiaoxiao made me feel like a state between being controlled by Qianqian and being self-conscious......
By this time, all three of us had jumped off one after another, and I quickly swept around, and found that the underground level here was actually similar to other underground floors I had experienced before, and I even saw a lot of familiar equipment.
I'm even a little irritable about these contents, and I can't have something new to say......
Zhao Youkuang also said: "This should be the underground system of the employee community, it doesn't look very large, but the equipment is quite complete." ”
I saw a large number of stone platforms in the area directly in front of us, as well as sinks, tables and stools on the side of the stone platforms, and on the side of this stone platform area was another area of floor-to-ceiling transparent glass houses.
It doesn't look like it's been attacked by any outside forces, as all the facilities, including the floor-to-ceiling glass, are intact, but the dust is so thick that it doesn't look like anyone has been here since the cataclysm.
I glanced at the top of my head again, and found that those little monsters should not have the intention of following for the time being, so I quickly ran forward with Zhao Youkuang and Duan Xiaoxiao.
Now Duan Xiaoxiao is still self-conscious for the time being, so I also asked Zhao Youkuang to give her a gravel gun for self-defense, although Zhao Youkuang seemed reluctant, but still did it.
I also understand Zhao Youkuang's thoughts, after all, this Xiaoxiao may be controlled by Qianqian again at any time, but I think Qianqian will not attack us even if she has a stone gravel gun in her hand.
I led the way and ran quickly in the direction of the wind, and the underground level was really not very large, and it was not long before we saw a little light not far away, indicating that we had found the exit.
Just as I was about to rush over, Zhao Youkuang stopped me: "Xiao Chen...... Can't get past it!"
"Why?" I asked, confused, "Do you want to hide in this underground layer all the time?"
"Of course not. Zhao Youkuang said: "Look! When we passed by just now, we found that this place was dusty, which means that no one has been here for a long time, and there is a bright exit in such a short distance, which means that this exit has only appeared recently......! There's danger around there!"
Before Zhao Youkuang's words fell, Duan Xiaoxiao gently pulled the corner of my clothes and said, "Brother Xiao Chen, something is coming!"
My night vision came into play at this point, and I saw that there was a large group of small black and crushed things in the bright place at the entrance, and I could tell from the footsteps and cries of those things that I could still tell that they were still the same little monsters just now!
No wonder they didn't chase down, it turned out that they were waiting for us here on a detour.
It is impossible for these little monsters to have such an IQ themselves, so their current actions must be commanded by the moon dust who has only appeared for a short time.
I don't have any energy now, which means that I don't have any chance of winning against these monsters who are overwhelmingly numerous, and I immediately plan to look around for buildings to hide in, but unfortunately the underground area here is completely flat now, let alone the houses where I am hiding, I can't even see a hole.
Just when I was about to let Zhao Youkuang and Duan Xiaoxiao turn around and run away, I heard Duan Xiaoxiao say to me, "Brother Xiao Chen...... Help......"
This voice is very strange, because although it is the same sentence, two different tones appear at the same time, one is naturally Duan Xiaoxiao's, and the other is actually Qianqian's!
The two voices coincided exactly, but they weren't so perfect that I could mistake them for one person.
"Qianqian?" I immediately asked, "Where did you just go?"
"Moon dust is interfering with my energy......" This time the voice has completely changed to Qianqian: "She knows I'm here...... I've been targeted by her now......"
"And what do you want me to help you?"
"It's not just for me, it's for yourself......" Qianqian's voice sounded reluctant, like the kind of person who just drowned and couldn't breathe.
Listening to this, it should mean that Qianqian wants to help us fight back the moon dust, and if you want to do this, you need my help.
"What should I do?" I asked busily.
"It's simple...... Put your hand on my arm!" said Qianqian's voice.
I immediately put my hand on Duan Xiaoxiao's arm, and at the same time said suspiciously: "But I don't have any energy in my body now!"
"You just can't run the energy, but I can help you. Before the words fell, I felt a familiar heat wave suddenly surge in my body, this energy heat flow passed through my internal organs and reached the place where my arms and Duan Xiaoxiao's arms met, and then I saw a strangely colored energy breath coming out of Duan Xiaoxiao's hand, and then a continuous explosion sounded around us.
Damn, it was like firecrackers, and I did see a lot of dust flying around, and just as I was trying to avoid the smoke, I was surprised to see some small figures appearing in the smoke, similar in size to the little monsters that were chasing us, but they didn't seem real, as if they were watching through a layer of fog.
"Damn! Energy can really make energy creatures out of thin air!" I said incredulously.
"Not really. Qianqian's voice retorted for the first time: "They are all my friends, and I just used your energy to help wake them up temporarily." ”
I frowned, looked back at the figures, and realized that these short figures were indeed children, and the reason why their figures were not real was actually because they were all remnants of consciousness.
From the stone platforms just now, I can deduce that this place is the same as the experimental building of the Origin Project, and there must have been many children killed here in the past, so this place will naturally have remnants of their consciousness.
And now it is they who Qianqian has awakened.
"Qianqian, you can't escape. The sound of moon dust also appeared at the far end at this time, that is, the place where the light exited.
Qianqian ignored her, but continued to say to me: "Xiao Chen, don't forget my deal with you, now you run to the exit, Yuechen will be handed over to me, but you must find Yuegang! If you don't bring him back, I will let all of you die!"
At this time, those little monsters, including Yuechen himself, had already broken in from the exit, and I took Zhao Youkuang and Duan Xiaoxiao, who had regained self-consciousness again, and ran around towards the exit.
The reason why Duan Xiaoxiao regained consciousness was because when Qianqian finished the last sentence, Duan Xiaoxiao appeared in a momentary sluggish state again, which was obviously a manifestation of Qianqian's consciousness body separating from her.
I don't know why, Yuechen seems to have a lot of hatred for Qianqian, who once replaced her death, and this hatred is enough to even ignore me, so the three of us can break through the exit all the way out unscathed.
I only heard all kinds of screams coming from the underground layer behind me, but I didn't have the heart to worry about Qianqian now, but asked Duan Xiaoxiao to hurry up and try to see if I could sense Yuegang's location.
