Chapter Twenty-Six: The Approaching Hunter
As night fell, resting people lit a bonfire in the small square in the center of the town, on which a large roasting sheep was set up. At this time, most of the park is gathered in four small squares in the east, west, north and south districts.
A figure avoided the crowd and hid in the dark to touch the coast of the East End. He went to the seashore and went straight into the sea until the water completely submerged him. He breathed freely in the water and dived deeper into the ocean. Powerful power fluctuations emanated from his body, forming a water vortex centered around him, an infected person with high combat capabilities. It is absolutely impossible for such a person to appear in Paradise, where there is only the second generation that has not yet been baptized and the first generation that has lost its combat effectiveness.
He dived quickly into the depths of the ocean until he touched the bottom of the sea, and he said to himself, "I'm afraid no one knows that the road to the outside of Paradise is actually at the bottom of the sea." It's impossible for outsiders to find Paradise, but this is where the Paradise Barrier is weakest. β
He controlled the sea water to compress it, forming a sharp spear, and because of the high speed of pumping away from the seawater, the water pressure around him quickly decreased, and the sea water around him frantically replenished, and the sea surface of Paradise, which was always calm, set off a storm.
"Not good!" Wu Gang noticed the smell of the sea in the air, and looked at the sea, the sea in the eastern area was unprecedentedly turbulent, and the sea water rushed into the beach and flowed into the coastal forest. He couldn't run fast, so he couldn't inform Li Ge, so he hurriedly summoned Li Yun beside Lin Yuan: "Xiao Li, go find your brother, someone is trying to destroy the enchantment." β
Li Yun was still coaxing the angry Lin Yuan, since he drank the last cup of milk tea in front of Lin Yuan this afternoon, Lin Yuan stopped talking to him, he said irritably: "This is Li Ge's responsibility, it's my business." Besides, the paradise is full of old, weak, sick and disabled, who can destroy the barrier? Uncle Wu, you can play with peace of mind. β
Wu Gang's face had long since lost his usual warm and rough smile, and he said solemnly: "This time is different, the sea surface of the paradise has never been stormy, and a storm has already rolled up at this time. Go quickly, it's too late to be too late, Li Ge should be over there in the West Square, you run faster! β
Li Yun sensed that the situation was a little serious, and although he still didn't believe that there were people in the paradise who could destroy the barrier, he nodded and ran to the post station. Lin Yuan looked at Li Yun who left in a hurry, and also glanced at Uncle Wu who was sitting on the stool with his brows twisted, she took a sip of the coconut water given by Li Yun and drank it, something may have happened to the paradise.
The sea water condensed into a high-density steel-blue spear, and the man jumped up in the sea water and grabbed the spear, and the sea water seemed to him like air and flat ground. He retreated with his right foot, leaned forward to accumulate power, and finally leaped to his feet, controlling the impulse of the sea on both feet, and he rushed to the bottom of the sea at a very high speed. It's definitely a subtle trick that can only be implemented through repeated simulations and trials.
"Click-" The steel-blue spear plunged into the bottom of the sea, the rock shattered, and the man was shaken out of the sea by the tremendous reaction force.
A white barrier appeared above the paradise, and a huge energy fluctuation circulated on its surface, absorbing energy from the glazed stone buried at the bottom of the sea, quickly repairing itself, and becoming invisible again after more than ten seconds.
30 nautical miles away in the eastern area, the phoenix stood on the brightly lit bow of the ship, looking at the white enchantment emerging from the dark sea, which was extremely conspicuous in the dark night, and he shouted: "Paradise has appeared, full speed ahead!" β
Wu Gang has been paying attention to the situation on the sea in the eastern district, and as soon as the man comes out of the sea, he will keep an eye on him. But the man was also prepared, and his face was so tightly wrapped that he couldn't even see his eyes. A huge wave engulfed him from the sea, and he disappeared into the sea again. Wu Gang realized that this was an infected person who controlled the ocean, and he was familiar with his abilities and everything in the paradise.
"Sister Lin, come with me, Dad let us go to Admiralty." Wu Le rushed over like a small cannon and took Lin Yuan's hand and ran, catching up with Xiao Jia and Yingying who ran first in the forest, and the four of them ran towards the nearest cable car station.
"What's going on! Someone has touched the barrier of Paradise! β
"What defector can hurt an enchantment like this?"
"Could it be an intruder? Go find Lieger! β
"What should we do, if it is a foreign enemy attacking...."
"Don't panic, this barrier has been maintained by the Lu family personally, and no one has been able to break it for three hundred years!"
The jubilant people in the four squares stopped, and they all looked at the flickering barrier with different expressions.
"Dangdangdangβ", at this moment, the golden bell in the center of the square rang, and Li Ge's voice came through the wind.
Li Ge stood in front of the Admiralty, still with that serious and calm expression, without the slightest panic, he said aloud: "Citizens of Paradise, for the first time since the establishment of Paradise 300 years ago, the enchantment has been severely damaged. There is a powerful infected man lurking among us who can control the oceans, and we must get him out. In addition, Uncle Wu observed through the loose barrier that a large ship was heading towards us at full speed in the direction of the Eastern District, and now it was only less than 20 nautical miles. β
The islanders stood still, the paradise was silent, the town was only filled with the sound of campfires burning, and nightingales circling in the forest.
"There are 3,100 second-generation people under the age of 12 in the park, who are not yet capable of fighting the infected; There were 1,022 infected people who retired, all of whom lost their strong combat effectiveness; There are also 820 adults who have not been qualified for slate contact. The institute's port is closed and we are unable to get in touch with it. Tens of thousands of people in Paradise are in danger after losing their barriers. β
"Now announce the strategy against the enemy, children aged 12 and under come to Admiralty, and I will take you to the shelter of Paradise. The remaining 900 second generation over the age of 13, you will fight with the infestation, Paradise needs your strength, and there will be reinforcements at dawn. β
"Don't forget, we are the people of Paradise, and we have the power of the virus in our veins!"
As the last sentence fell, there was no longer the sound of Li Ge in the wind, only the whirring wind and the howl of wolves in the forest.
"Brush brush brush-", the cable car circulates in the forest, and children under the age of 12 gather quickly from all directions to the center of the island, and each cable car is crowded with people. The rest of the people gathered towards the eastern part of the park with weapons in hand. Everything is so orderly and calm, that the people of Paradise, who have learned the laws of wolves since childhood, are eager to die in battle.
Lin Yuan came to Admiralty before everyone else, and there were only Li Ge, Li Yun and two other infected people in front of Admiralty.
Lin Yuan rushed up, grabbed Li Ge's collar, and asked loudly: "Why don't you evacuate with everyone, the people who come must be very strong infected people, and they can only be sent to death!" β
"So what?" Li Ge looked at her puzzled, and said calmly: "Paradise is not a safe nest, it is a hunting ground for cultivating the infected, and a 6-year-old child will begin to learn the laws of wolves and learn to live in a wolf's den. Our faith is undying, and dying in battle is their glory! You should go too. β
Lin Yuan's face was red, his hands were clutching Li Ge's collar, and he shouted, "Those are all living human lives!" They're all going to die, let them go to the shelter together! β
Li Yun walked over from behind Li Ge, shook Lin Yuan's hand vigorously, shook his head and said sharply: "Lin Yuan, you are wrong, Li Ge made the best choice." If no one fights them, Paradise's underground shelter will soon be found, and there will be no dawn. Save more of the second generation, and the park will have a future. β
Lin Yuan lowered her hands weakly, the three children looked up at her, her heart shouted wildly, she had never been so eager for strength as now, she whispered, "At least let everyone under the age of 15 in." β
No one answered her, she knew it was impossible, this was the way Paradise fought, and she said lightly, "I'll go now." β
Li Yun grabbed her arm, stared at Li Yun, and shouted, "Brother." β
Li Ge immediately understood, his younger brother actually called him brother for a woman, and he said, "I know, she went to the shelter with me." β
Lin Yuan shook off Li Yun's hand, turned around and said coldly: "No need, I'm not cowardly enough to let a group of old, weak, sick and disabled protect me.... Plum... Yun..."Li Yun unceremoniously slapped a knife on her neck: "You are the real death when you go, and I can't protect you." β
He handed Lin Yuan, who had fainted, to the three children, and said to Wu Le: "Wu Le, you are 7 years old this year, and I personally took the person who has been trained for half a year to live." Wu Le held Lin Yuan's upper body and nodded heavily.
Outside the barrier of the paradise, the phoenix's hand flowing with thunder and lightning touched the white barrier close at hand, and he knocked gracefully, and the invisible barrier blocked him. The corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel and treacherous smile, and his dark purple hair lingered with purple lightning, and he put his hand on the barrier, and said softly, "You must catch my lightning strike well." β
With him as the center, the purple thunder and lightning scorched the surrounding air to crackle, and a huge gray-purple thundercloud condensed in the sky above the ship, and he shouted softly: "Second type, thunder and lightning are summoned!" The thunderclouds rumbled in the air and moved over the barrier, "Boom-boom-", two huge purple lightning bolts struck the barrier in succession, and the power of thunder and lightning climbed on the surface of the barrier. The barrier slowly absorbed it, then vanished for a few seconds, but soon flickered back again, only with much weaker light.
"It's worthy of the enchantment set up by the Lu family." The phoenix stroked his palm and praised, this is the purest power of thunder and lightning, and a little bit can electrocute an adult elephant.
Honghu respectfully presented a Japanese knife with a dark appearance with both hands, the phoenix pulled it out leisurely, the blade of the knife was full of purple light, he stroked the cold and narrow arc of the perfect blade, and said softly: "Murayu, with my clan's divine power, today will be the first step for my phoenix to officially participate in the battle for the slate." β
He held the village rain high and channeled the power of thunder and lightning gathered by the thunderclouds in the sky into the blade, and a purple line was connected to the ship from the sky, and finally the thunderclouds ran out of power and dissipated. After absorbing the thunder and lightning, the purple light of the village rain is even better, like a demon knife, making a long sound of "buzz-buzz-buzz-".
The phoenix retreated to the middle of the deck, clasped Murayu in both hands, and sprinted in the direction of the barrier. He jumped up on the bow of the ship and thrust the village rain into the barrier, which drew energy from the glazed stones under the sea and gathered a huge amount of strength to fight him. His lips were pursed, the green tendons on his hands were agitated, the meridians on his neck were bulging, and the virus was running at high speed in his body, constantly injecting the power of thunder and lightning to fight against it.
"Click-" The tip of the knife sank into the barrier, and tiny cracks spread along the barrier. "Hahββ!h The phoenix drank lightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and a small thundercloud condensed in the air again, counting in succession to the place where the thunder and lightning struck the junction and the village rain.
"Clickβclickβ" The barrier shattered completely, dissipating into white splinters, and a medium-sized island appeared directly in front of the ship, less than 10 nautical miles away.
The phoenix turned his head and spat blood continuously, his serious injuries had not yet healed, and he had just been injured by the defensive power of the enchantment.
"Lord Phoenix...."The Bird stepped forward worriedly, trying to hold him up, but the Phoenix raised his hand and refused. He inserted Murayu back into the scabbard in Honghu's hand, lowered his head and showed a grim smile, and said softly, "Don't let the rabbits run away." β
