Chapter 296: Collapse
"Aiyue, put away the blue dragon scales. Samusa said, stuffing the blue stone in his hand into his backpack, although it couldn't completely stop it from glowing, but with the barrier of the backpack, the light was also blocked a lot.
"Miss Sakisa, isn't it pitch black like this? you can't see what is written on it, can you?" Sakuruma said curiously.
"It would be bad if they found out. Samusa poked his head out of the window and saw that the streets here were almost full of all kinds of nuclear-level creatures, "It's not normal." β
"Hmm, what do you mean?" Sakuruma asked, walking to the window.
Samusa looked at the nuclear-level creatures downstairs, bit his nails, and said, "Why are they all desperately trying to get close here? The breath of the two of us alone is not enough to attract so many monsters." β
Two seconds later, it dawned on her and her gaze moved to the black barrier.
"Is the goal ...... it?"
"Miss Samusa, it's almost dawn, Kai and they haven't responded yet, and besides, this black barrier seems to be slowly shrinking. Sakurama had discovered this phenomenon a long time ago, and the black barrier that had been almost attached to the building had receded a lot, and the blood stains on the clearing could still be seen.
"Contraction is inevitable. β
"Why?" Sakurama said in surprise.
"Because this black barrier is related to the Black Tower, if Xiaokai and the others haven't found a solution to it until now, they probably have encountered difficulties in the Black Tower. The longer you stay in the Black Tower, the Black Barrier will shrink inward until it flattens everything and finally fits into the Black Tower. β
"Miss Sakisa...... How do you know that?"
"Actually, when you come here, you should think of the connection between the six black towers. β
"Did Miss Sakisa already get it?" Sakuruma looked at Sakisa seriously, but since she understood, why didn't she tell everyone in the morning?
"There is no connection at all. Shamuzo looked up at the blood moon above his head and said slowly: "Xiaokai is right, we can't activate the console at will, but in the end, we still unlock the corresponding hives one by one. In fact, those cities should not be activated in the first place, and the City of Stone told us from the beginning which black tower is the key to unlock the final hive, but we didn't have the patience to think about it, thinking that there must be a connection between them. β
"So which Black Tower did the City of Stone point out to us?"
"It's the one in front of us, it's the key to open the exit, but we've wasted nearly a week of time because of some useless Black Towers, but fortunately, the time and space between them have been adjusted back to the original state, otherwise even if we activate this Black Tower, it's useless. Samusa put away the notebooks, and now there was still at most an hour before dawn, and he could clearly feel that before the black barrier was raised, the aura of several people in the city of the Black Tower had disappeared.
"At this rate of contraction, it won't be long before it will overlap with the Black Tower. Sakurama calculated the distance the Black Barrier had traveled, and if it did shrink to the same extent as the Black Tower, the squeezed buildings would trap everyone inside forever, and either way, they only had two hours left.
"The rest is on their own. β
β¦β¦
"The structure of the Black Tower, why do you suddenly ask that?" The battle continued, and the blood coming out of Ibaraki's eyes was increasing, and if the dust got into the wound, it would be a hundred times worse than it was now.
"I just had a hunch. β
"Premonition?" Ibaraki took Rustell's heavy blade and skillfully unloaded all of its power to the ground beneath his feet, "Well, it's not the same as the Black Tower we've been to, but it can't be said to be completely different. β
The ground cracked with a "boom", and Ibaraki and Yang Xiaokai jumped in a safe direction at the same time.
"Brother Xiaokai, do you remember what happened in the Third Hive before, the Black Tower there can let people outside see what will happen in the future. The similarities are here, but so are the differences. β
Inspired by Ibaraki, Yang Xiaokai quickly connected the two things, and he was right, the similarities and differences all converged to make the existence of this black tower so weird.
"I see, this is the key to the exit!"
"Do you mean we can leave as long as we activate this place?" a happy smile appeared on Ibaraki's face, but Yang Xiaokai did not mean that.
"No, I mean ......" Yang Xiaokai didn't know what to answer him for a while, since Youcuris decided that he would gamble with himself, he would not let these people go so simply, otherwise the gambling game would be meaningless, he also said just now that he didn't want this game to be the same as before, there must be a new ending.
"Even if we activated the console, we wouldn't be able to leave if these guys were pestering us all the time. β
"Then we have to find a way after activation, everyone outside the Black Tower is waiting. Ibaraki lured Rustel to his side and motioned for Yang Xiaokai to activate the console, "Brother Xiaokai, go quickly!
Yang Xiaokai didn't waste Ibaraki's kindness, bypassing Rustle, who was fighting against Hades, and flew to the console above the fountain.
"That's the end of it. β
Yang Xiaokai took a deep breath, stretched out his index finger and pressed the activation button.
The city began to crumble, the world inside the Black Tower gradually shattered, and the sky above them fell off one by one, revealing the original pitch black, where the distorted space was rapidly pressing towards the ground!
"Oh no, the extended space is starting to shrink!" Yang Xiaokai jumped off the fountain and ran towards the ice room leaning under the tree, "Mr. Zhi, Ibaraki! Get out of here quickly, otherwise you'll never be able to leave!"
Hearing this, Hades and Ibaraki quickly shook off Rustel's attack, hurriedly pulled away from it, and ran towards the city center where they came, where the car was parked before, and the only way to escape was to rely on it.
Rustel kept chasing, but Ibaraki was much faster than them, and after attracting the attention of the two Rustel at the same time, he covered Hades and got into the driver's seat first, and he shook off the trouble behind him and rushed into the back seat.
"Ibaraki, keep an eye on the ice room, I'll go to the back and push the cart. Yang Xiaokai helped the ice chamber into the car, and while the two Rustel hadn't caught up yet, he hurriedly got out of the car and went to the back to cooperate with Hades to start the car, "Move!"
"Roarβ"
Seeing that Rustel was about to catch up, the space behind them was rapidly collapsing!
"Xiaokai! It's okay!" Hades's voice came from the front, and Yang Xiaokai also felt that the car was slowly moving forward away from his own push, he immediately manipulated his body and flew to the back door, but the slow start of the car had already allowed Rustel to chase after him!
"Mr. Ji, speed up!"
Seeing Rustel raise his long blade and slash at the moving car, Yang Xiaokai subconsciously summoned Obsidian, trying to block this extremely powerful attack with one hand!
"Phew!" the Black Knife was unexpectedly knocked away by Rustel's powerful force and disappeared into the distorted space.
"Abominable ......"
Yang Xiaokai grabbed the car door, flew up and kicked Rustel's knee, it felt like kicking a steel plate, but it did have a slight slowing effect, and the two monsters were instantly engulfed by the collapsed space, and they didn't even have time to struggle!
"Brother Xiaokai, hurry up!"
Grabbing Ibaraki's outstretched hand, he climbed into the car before he ran out of energy.
"Whew, Whew......"
"Xiaokai, are you okay?" asked Hades, who was driving in the front seat, looking in the rearview mirror.
"It's okay, but I don't know if the ice room can safely get to the outside of the black tower, anyway, after I go out, I will contact Sister Saki Sasa directly, and if she does, she will immediately use obsidian to treat the wound in the ice room. If you can't get in touch...... Just use the remaining bandages on the other people's bodies to simply stop the bleeding, and then go to Sister Saki after leaving the city of Heita. Yang Xiaokai looked at the road ahead, and from time to time he looked back at the darkness that swallowed time and space.
"Guys, there may be some bumps up ahead, don't let the ice room touch her wounds. Hades took a deep breath, and the accelerator under his feet stepped on the bottom in an instant.
Yang Xiaokai looked after peeling off, only to see that the road in front of him was paved with corpses, Hades didn't have time to go around one by one like when he came, and now only by running over them could he ensure that the car would not be swallowed by the darkness!
"Fujitoko, bear with me a little, and we'll be at the exit soon. β
"Hmm......" Himuro nodded, grabbing Ibaraki's shoulder hard, the blood from her back slowly flowing to Ibaraki's feet, and the slightest bump in the amount of bleeding would probably be even worse.
Seeing the darkness behind him gradually drifting away, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, and the ice room survived the bumpy journey strongly, and in another ten minutes, the exit of the black tower could be seen.
"Mio, Hanashima is dead, why do you still seem to be preoccupied?" Chihori and Raiden Mio, who had been searching for a night and had not found a console, returned to the Black Tower.
"Chihori, do you feel it? Oxygen is getting less and less, and it's ......" Mio walked up the steps and looked at the city in the distance and said, "Since a few hours ago, the city over there began to collapse, and Guiliang said that the barrier is shrinking, and if it continues to shrink, we will all be buried in those ruins." β
"Is it because I didn't find the console?" Chiho Ri turned back to the Black Tower and stopped in front of the door.
"Let's look for it again, it's a lot smaller now than it used to be. It wasn't until Raiden Mio walked down the steps that he realized that Chihori hadn't followed at all, but put his ear to the door of the Black Tower, listening attentively to something, "Chihori?"
"Mio, there's something in there. β
"Sound?" Raiden Mio hurried to the door of the Black Tower, and opened the door with Chihori.
"Mio! it's Xiaokai...... They're back!"
