Volume 1 The Beginning of the Cataclysm Chapter 176 is also the beginning 3
The people around him were already stunned. There are too many powerful characters emerging in today's brawl, first Zhou Jin, Yang Xiaoxiao, and later Yang Bensheng, Lin Qian, and now even Chen Xinyan, who has always been inconspicuous, has hidden such strength.
Xia Shuang and Qin Xiaowen couldn't help but look at each other, it turned out that all the people here were not easy to match, and one was deeper than the other, but the two of them were not as naΓ―ve as the city.
They couldn't help but fantasize that maybe even if Yang Bensheng didn't kill him in time, maybe a few of these people would be enough to protect themselves......
In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Qian and Chen Xinyan are actually similar in appearance, especially their eyebrows. The two beauties who have also learned kung fu and have explosive combat effectiveness, one is as warm as fire and the other is as cold as an iceberg, and now they collide in one place, and they naturally have to be separated.
The two of them played in a ball of ping-pong, although Lin Qian was prepared this time, but the victory and defeat were still divided quickly.
Since the era of cold weapons, the school of martial arts has spread all over the country. As a family of martial arts, Chen Xinyan has dabbled in many common schools of boxing. It is said that I learned it because of interest, but it was surprisingly fast to learn, and the actual combat effect was surprisingly good, which made people have to sigh about the gap between geniuses and ordinary people.
And Lin Qian, who has three years of experience in modern martial arts, looks like an ordinary person who has never learned kung fu compared to her.
Until Lin Qian faced her and played a similar set of punches. The punch is rigid and soft, fast and slow, fast and quiet, and a series of rushes, splits, teasing, and penetrating rhythms are distinct, and the power of the big opening and closing is not bad. This set of boxing techniques restrained many changes in the Five Elements Jiu-Jitsu in the blink of an eye, and it was obviously a small success.
"Chen Patriarch, where did you steal it!" Chen Xinyan's face changed color, their family education has always been strictly forbidden to be passed on, and there has never been a reason to be out.
"Can you handle it?" Although Lin Qian was surprised by the other party's reaction, she refused to give up.
"Chen's Taiji, you are the Chen family." Lin Wenjin walked over from a distance, and it turned out that he also saw Chen Xinyan's heels.
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about, her surname is Chen, and she is naturally the Chen family."
"It's not an ordinary Chen family," Lin Wenjin shook his head, "It's the Wenbei Chen family, one of the eight major families in the Asia-Pacific region, a transstate chaebol with seats in the Federal Autonomous Council, and your mother was also a member of the Chen family." β
Hearing him mention his deceased mother, Lin Qian was speechless in shock.
Why...... You've never mentioned anything like this in all these years.
As early as eighteen years ago, Lin Wenjin had seen the conformism and stubbornness of the Chen family, and in order to prevent the new team from getting into trouble with the Chen family, he had to explain and tell the truth.
"Girl, who are you Chen Xiwu?" Lin Wenjin sighed.
"You know my sister-in-law?" Chen Xinyan was even more shocked when she heard this, and she already believed eighty percent of her words.
She stared at Lin Wenjin's face carefully, and suddenly exclaimed, "Your surname is Lin, and you are the young man in the relics of your sister-in-law's photo album!" β
Chen Xinyan remembered that it was the most secretive past of the previous generation in the family. It is said that her sister-in-law Chen Xiwu, the most intelligent and pleasing little princess of the Chen family at that time, broke with the family at the age of eighteen because she broke off the marriage contract without permission, and the root cause was this man.
It's just that Chen Xiwu never came back after leaving the Chen family, and I heard that Chen Xinyan died unexpectedly when she was still one year old......
"But I'm old now." Lin Wenjin smiled bitterly, "But in my memory, she has always maintained the appearance of her youth." I would have liked to go with her if I could, but by then we already had a daughter......"
"Dad."
Lin Qian snuggled in Lin Wenjin's arms, recalling her unimpressed mother, and her expression was suddenly a little inexplicable.
"Qian'er, it's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay."
Lin Wenjin also sighed a little, fortunately he and Yang Bensheng came back in time, otherwise if Lin Qian was a little bad, he was afraid that he would regret it for the rest of his life. Although the daughter committed another strange madness, fortunately she was not injured, and she still remembered her father, so what else is there to say.
He could feel itβno matter what had changed, it was still his Lin Wenjin daughter.
"Ah, I see! You are the genius sister of the Chen family, and I often hear your family mention you. Qin Xiaowen in the crowd was suddenly excited, as if she had found an amazing treasure.
"It turned out to be Miss Xinyan of the Chen family in Wenbei", Xia Qing had obviously heard this name many times, "How could I be so coincidental that we met a person with the same name and surname." β
"I've seen Miss Chen." The Chen and Qin families are world friends, so Xia Shuang hurriedly greeted him.
Lei Li also said: "Three years ago, the Chen family presided over the Shanghe Summit, and the old man and the little friend also had a relationship. I don't know if Lord Chen is still in good health now? β
Chen Xinyan nodded in greeting: "Elder Laulei is worried, my father's old illness is gone, and he also greets Old Man Qin on my behalf." β
Her response was not lacking in politeness, but she looked indifferent, and only smiled a little when she faced the eager Qin Xiaowen.
β¦β¦
Lin Qian and Chen Xinyan just ended the last battle on the battlefield.
Without the sound of gunshots, explosions, and the clash of gold and iron, the Taifeng gas station on the outskirts of the city fell silent for the first time in a long time.
Since the afternoon Zhou Jin's anti-water sneak attack, it has only been half a day until now. People were surprised to find out about this fact, but they still couldn't help but feel that the hour or two of the confrontation between the two sides seemed to be longer than the whole year combined.
After this battle, except for Zhou Jin, who was seriously injured and fled, the rest of the same party Lao Hu, Wang Ming, and Chen Chong were all beheaded, which may be regarded as a tragic victory for Lang Hua. And after this battle, many of the people with their own abilities were injured, and ordinary evolutionaries were killed and injured in the melee and pursuit in the later stage. Now the team is falling apart, and the loss of strength is close to eighty percent. If there is another group of corpses, everyone will die without a place to be buried. Fortunately, they had already fled the city, and the possibility of being accidentally surrounded by corpses was extremely low.
Now it is twilight in the west, and when the last twilight passes, the night will come soon.
Lang Hua stood up alone, and as far as the eye could see, there were ruins and bloodstains all over the place after the battle. The people who walked all the way from the rooftop of the hospital are now almost completely dead.
He couldn't help but wonder - if the team hadn't rescued these people, would the team still have had such a bumpy journey? After all, if there were fewer people, they might have arrived at the base by now......
The high fever close to 40 degrees made Lang Hua feel dizzy. Even every gasp takes a lot of effort. After waking up from a coma this time, Lang Hua understood that in the rebirth two years ago, his consciousness body was not intact after passing through the space-time blockchain, not to mention that it was full of holes, but also had a great dark injury.
Crossing time and space has never been theoretically possible, and no one knows what the hidden dangers will be or what the consequences will be. But one thing is for sure - there is no longer enough time left for Lang Hua.
There is always exclusion between the uncoordinated space-time dimensions, and the load at the level of consciousness is overrun...... Perhaps the existence of this consciousness body in his previous life is damaging this body all the time......
He may not be able to support another "thirteen years" like in the previous life.
And whether it's the future of the race, or the lover and friend who died early in the disaster, if he still wastes precious time as he did before, it is very likely that he will ...... Nothing can be done.
Thinking of this, Lang Hua's heart gradually cooled down, and gradually changed into a stone without temperature.
He snatched Haiping's horizontal knife, walked over to the enemy's wounded, and stabbed the most seriously wounded man. The physique of the evolutionaries in the last days is stronger, and although these people are not of high rank, they can also speed up the recovery of wounds by absorbing the floating energy in the atmosphere. But that person had been hit by a bullet through the chest, and the evolution level was only the early stage of the first order, even if Lang Hua didn't kill him, it was estimated that it would be difficult to live a few more days.
Lang Hua suddenly killed him, which really frightened many people present. Whether it was Yang Bensheng, Lin Wenjin, or the survivors of the rooftop, they were almost speechless.
Yang Bensheng also wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots and exterminate the troubles, so he didn't want Lang Hua to have the intention of staying.
But according to his thoughts, this kind of thing should not be done by Lang Hua himself. After all, there are still some outsiders such as the Armed Forces Department and the Qin family at the scene, and Lang Hua, as the leader of the team, is still necessary to do some superficial work.
Fortunately, Lang Hua did not knife again, he walked to Haiping, who was still depressed, and coldly threw down the sentence:
"Kill them, I'm going to use the brains of these people to refine the knife."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and after a brief hesitation, the survivors of the rooftop fled like crazy.
And Haiping silently picked up the knife and chased after those people one by one, no matter how bitterly they wept and pleaded, and also wiped their necks cleanly. By the end of the day, the two men were in complete despair, and they were pierced through their hearts while scolding everything.
No one knew what Haiping had thought about staring at the blood-stained knife in the last minute before picking up the knife.
β¦β¦
The post-cataclysmic post-apocalyptic world is a new and most incredible world. After the black fog spores invaded the world, the various phenomena caused and the various products derived from them completely broke the understanding of ordinary humans about the natural world for thousands of years.
And if you want to rank these amazing things, the first thing to bear the brunt of is "crystal nucleus energy".
As the most miraculous phenomenal product in the cataclysmic world, it can give birth to the evolution of all things, delay death, and even indirectly lead to the creation of various evolutionary abilities and abilities. It seems that anything, as long as it is involved in crystal nucleus energy, there will always be some unexpected changes.
In addition to the killing technique, the ability to evolve, and the new weapons produced after the explosive development of Crystal Energy Technology, the cold weapons of the Cataclysm World also have their own unique ways to shine.
The crystal nucleus energy that can cause living beings to evolve is also miraculous for cold weapons.
In the last days, there are often two ways to strengthen cold weapons, forging and sacrifice.
The former uses new materials produced after the end of the world to create new and stronger weapons, such as adding rare materials with crystal energy attributes during smelting or later refurnace forging.
The theoretical basis of the latter is based on the new "biochemical physics", using the "parts" rich in crystal energy and more catalytic in crystal nucleated organisms as materials to warm and refine the formed cold weapons to make them have crystal energy properties.
Of the two methods, the first one is more orthodox, but it is used by fewer people. The second type of sacrifice, often referred to as the "blood sacrifice", is actually more widely used.
In the thirteen years of the precarious end times, human beings have struggled to survive after falling from the altar at the top of the biological chain, and the moral bottom line is much more blurred.
Of course, the normal battle in the last days is also a kind of sacrifice. Whether it is a battle between people or between people and other creatures, the more evolved creatures are killed with cold weapons, the more and richer crystal energy flesh and blood they come into contact with, the more sacrifices will be completed and the quality will be increased.
No one would dislike a knife that was too sharp and powerful, and Lang Hua was the same. At night, he concentrated the crystal nuclei that he could collect, crushed them into particles, and then mixed them into the brain marrow of evolved creatures to wrap them overnight, and finally with the assistance of Lin Wenjin's energy flame, he completed the initial warming of the Mo Dao.
A few hours later, Lang Hua removed the cloth tape wrap on the surface of the Mo knife, and saw that the original "lotion" had turned into a lot of useless powder with a dark color. In contrast, the body of the Mo knife after the blood sacrifice was crystal clear, and the blade flashed with a blue-purple shimmer from time to time. Just looking at it, there was a sense of urgency to be targeted by the beast, and it was obvious that the weapon level had been raised by at least one notch.
Lang Hua took the knife in his hand, walked out of the door, didn't look at the broken human corpses, and climbed straight along the steel ladder to the rooftop.
According to Chen Xinyan, he has been suffering from a high fever after he fell into a coma, and he may have an intracranial infection after a long time. According to Chen Xinyan's request, Yang Bensheng brought back the 10 mg of tolixidine intravenous solution, a variety of broad-spectrum antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, and special antipyretic drugs that she needed, and packed a large package.
That night, after receiving treatment, Lang Hua's consciousness gradually tended to be awake and quiet, his limbs were warm, cyanosis disappeared, his blood pressure rose, and his pulse pressure widened, showing that he was well healed.
Although only Lang Hua himself knows the true cause of this illness, it is undeniable that he was saved by modern medicine this time. The pathogenic bacteria in the catastrophic world have mutated rapidly, and the cytotoxins they produce are particularly strong, and if the human body is taken advantage of when it is weak, even low-level abilities are in danger of dying.
After climbing a rusty steel ladder, Lang Hua came to the central rooftop of the Taifeng gas station. It is said to be a rooftop, but in fact it is just a flat roof. The roof covered with silver-black waterproofing membrane was surrounded by a circle of low walls and railings more than one meter high, and Lin Qian was waiting for him in the center of the roof.
"You're slow." Lin Qian's voice was very impatient.
"Really?" Lang Hua smiled, showing an indifferent look, "You have to take care of the injured people." β
"Then you don't come."
"How can that work?" Lang Hua spread his hands, "I can't do the matter of releasing pigeons." β
"Oh? Then what is the matter with you, the 'former sick number', coming to me? You can't just invite me to a place like this to celebrate your recovery, right? β
Lin Qian suddenly smiled charmingly, her slender phoenix eyes hooked a vague autumn wave, and continued to tease: "The cool breeze here makes the little woman shiver, it's not a good place to talk about love~"
"In your understanding, I would be so romantic?" Lang Hua grinned and asked, his white teeth looked very dazzling in the morning light.
"Hey, what a little man who doesn't know how to be amorous." Lin Qian said slowly, unconsciously approaching the direction of Lang Hua, and soon the two of them were almost face to face.
"I don't know, you called me here, two lonely men and widows...... What do you want to do? β
The hot breath exhaled by Lin Qian carried a dark fragrance that seemed like nothing, and hit Lang Hua's side face, making the latter feel itchy in his earlobes.
"Yikes."
With a delicate snort, it was Lang Hua who took advantage of his unpreparedness, suddenly grabbed the other party's waist, and leaned over condescendingly. The two men looked at each other, the tips of their noses almost together. The skin is close to each other, and you can clearly feel the warmth of each other.
"What do you say?" Lang Hua exhaled, "Don't you know? β
Lin Qian's beautiful eyes flowed, her deep eyelashes blinked slightly, and there seemed to be a bit of surprise and a smile in her eyes.
She suddenly stood up straight, forcing Lang Hua to let go of the other party slowly. Lin Qian took three steps back to the fence, raised her head and looked at Lang Hua and said, "Why don't you say it?" β
Lang Hua looked at the person in front of him, watched her use the glaze she found out of nowhere, the pale blue eye shadow she put on, the lips under her smoky makeup were covered with bright red lip gloss, and watched her turn her long wavy hair with red edges into a bun and full of A.
Lang Hua couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Who are you?" β
Lin Qian stroked the long hair around her ears, revealing a snow-white swan-like neck, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you ask like that?" β
"At least I don't think you're the Sister I know."
"Yo, that's so intimate." Lin Qian sneered, "Any Lin Qian can do it." But let's talk about that. I should have asked you for her. So the leader of Langhua, who always knows everything, who are you? β
"She? Are you talking about Lin Qian? Lang Hua asked rhetorically, but when she saw this Lin Qian beckoning, a piece of sand in the distance was pulled by her, and finally a battle axe that was the same as before was condensed in her hand.
The only difference is that the axe is not made of steel. However, after Lin Qian devoured and seized Chen Chong's earth pulse, she was fully capable of pressurizing and forging ordinary sand, and the hardness she finally obtained was far beyond that of ordinary metal.
You know, if the pressure and temperature conditions are met, humans have the ability to refine diamonds from ordinary sand before the cataclysm!
Facing the red-haired Lin Qian's sudden axe, Lang Hua didn't think about it, and directly stepped back and took the Mo knife that had been behind him to block it. The next moment, the sound of gold and iron clashing was heard, and the stone axe slammed into Mo Dao with unrivaled might.
In head-to-head battles, the strength of those with power-type abilities should not be underestimated. Lang Hua was instantly slashed and didn't stop until his back hit another railing.
"It's Bashan!"
He didn't expect that after fusing and absorbing Chen Chong's earth system ability Earth Pulse, Lin Qian's original ability was dominant, and he was actually promoted to the second stage because of this. As a higher-level evolutionary ability, Mt. Pulling is no longer limited by the time it can be used for hegemony. Not only is it more powerful and explosive, but it also has a permanent increase in the user's speed.
Today's Lin Qian has entered the level of a first-class warrior. If you fight against Chen Xinyan again at this time, you must definitely not lose!
"You ask me who I am, and I tell you, are you qualified to listen?"
The red-haired Lin Qian raised her chin high and walked over step by step.
"What else are you shouting 'Sister Qian'? What do you know about this kid? β
"Do you know that when she was a child, she was bullied by other people because she didn't have a mother?"
"Do you know the wound in her heart, how many times she has woken up in the middle of the night from nightmares and cried quietly?"
"You think you understand her? But in the Lin Club, where were you when those men wanted to bully her? Where did you go when she needed you the most? β
The red-haired Lin Qian slashed over one axe after another, each axe with a sharp question, and poured down on Lang Hua with a huge force.
Lang Hua understood at this moment, it turned out that this second personality had been born as early as Lin Qian's childhood, and she was Lin Qian's protective shield when she was weak. Whenever Lin Qian encounters an unbearable predicament, her true personality will close herself, and her second personality will be the thorny armor that stays outside to replace her to face everything.
It's just that I don't know if Sister Qian, herself, is aware of the existence of this personality......
"I've been the only one protecting her all these years, and you only went straight in two years ago, what are you? Ask me who I am, do you have the qualifications for this! β
The stone axe was so powerful that it shook Lang Hua's arms numb when it slashed at the Mo knife.
Of course, although the stone axe is hard, it has long been different from the past after the Mo knife has been strengthened. Under the effect of the strange blue-purple blade, the evolutionary crystal energy mobilized by the ability blade invaded the stone axe along the junction and wreaked havoc, causing the stone axe fragments to crumble, and many fine cracks soon appeared on the axe surface.
But Lang Hua recovered from his illness for a long time, and his strength went to seventy-seven eighty-eight, but he was completely suppressed for a while.
Slowly, he was also beaten out of anger.
"Bell!"
Under Lang Hua's manipulation, Mo Dao suddenly exerted his strength, fiercely slashed up, and directly smashed this stone axe. The rubble instantly scattered in all directions, and the ping-pong pong hit the low wall, creating countless white spots.
"Blade! Rush! β
Lang Hua held the knife with one arm, his speed skyrocketed, and he countered the opponent in an instant.
He looked down at the other man condescendingly, and the tip of the knife hung in front of the red-haired Lin Qian's throat. The distance was so close that the latter seemed to feel a pinprick chill on his skin.
"Eligibility? I never thought I could qualify. β
"I admit I'm not a good person, and I don't want to be a good person." Lang Hua said seriously, "I swore that I would save people in this life." Whoever stands in my way will die! β
"And you'd better get the real Lin Qian back before my patience runs out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lang Hua put away the Mo knife and returned the same way without looking back.
Only the red-haired Lin Qian still sat on the ground and stalked her neck: "That kid believes in you so much, I believe that you will come to save her?" It really struck me incredible. Lang Hua, I really can't see through you, I can't understand your personality, and I don't understand your past. But you'd better be honest, because I'm keeping an eye on you all the time! β
"You don't have to worry about it!"
The voice from Lang Hua's side was cold, since the other party was not Sister Qian, there was no need to waste her kindness......
Back on the surface from the rooftop, it's time for the others to pack their bags.
It's luggage, but it's actually some weapons and equipment that can be used in the base in the future, as well as some small food. Since it's only one step away from the base, there's no need to let these rifles decompose with the corpse, right?
At the front of the team, Lin Wenjin carried a mountaineering bag on his back and asked the two casually: "Girl, what are you and Xiaohua doing on the roof?" β
"It's nothing. It's just a sparring partner. Lin Qian spread her hands and said indifferently, and then glanced at Lang Hua's back with her eyes.
Phew, a ruthless man who doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
The red-haired Lin Qian kneaded her flushed wrist and thought so.
