Chapter 8: The Edge of Crisis

The argument ahead seemed to be intensifying, and it was the indifferent voices of several others who responded to those men.

I couldn't understand it either, but Mo Chen could hear the serious commanding tone of business.

The two sides seemed to be arguing over and over again about something, and finally ......

Bang!

Bang bang bang!

A short but dense burst of gunfire rang out, accompanied by a tragic howl, which made Mo Chen, who had subconsciously stopped and stopped moving forward, felt that his heart suddenly stopped beating.

This kind of movement, no matter how you look at it, is definitely not a joke.

Mo Chen's mind was blank, he only knew that he was standing in place, and it took a full five or six seconds for him to come back to his senses, and then almost without thinking about it, he leaned directly to the side and clinged to the wall.

He froze like this, unable to move, wanted to scream, but did not dare to make a sound, wanted to tremble, but his body stiffened and did not move—

Unquenchable fear had become the only thought that occupied his entire brain at the moment, and the chill from the very end of his back quickly spread all over his body, stimulating the nerves all over his body.

This was a very terrible emergency, and he was not prepared to face this harsh psychology at all.

Although we have considered all kinds of possible dangers in advance, the imaginary possibilities and the actual facts are completely different. Just like the so-called pain of childbirth, many people know what "ten levels of pain" it is.

However, people who have never actually experienced it first-hand will not be able to understand what this concept of "childbirth equivalent to 10 degrees of pain" is.

Although it is said that in fact, the value of the human body to bear the pain limit and labor pain is likely to be a false rumor on the Internet, and there is no conclusive medical evidence or research to support it.

Even the so-called twelve-level pain rating index is actually just an apocryphal statement, but it is good to understand the meaning.

That is, when a woman gives birth to a child, it is very painful, it is the degree of pain, but no matter how many levels of pain are rumored or fabricated, whether it is credible or not, people who have not experienced it will never really understand.

- Because what is imagined is always different from what is real.

Mo Chen is in such a situation now, many people have seen the news of shootings, massacres, terrorist attacks or something on TV, and they have more or less thought about how they will deal with such a thing.

But after all, this is just an imagination, and when they actually face that terrible reality for themselves, it is completely different.

Otherwise, how can it be said that "between life and death, there is a great terror"?

Is it only you who is the keyboard strong, and those who have suffered are relatively weak? As an ordinary person, everyone can't do things well, if you copy the keyboard, you will definitely be able to do it well?

It simply doesn't make sense.

Moreover, Mo Chen himself did not have the cognition of a keyboard powerhouse, he already knew how well he could not do in the face of this kind of thing, and all he thought about before was the idea of "after it passes, if I encounter danger, I will come back immediately".

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't encounter any danger after coming over, until he relaxed his vigilance, and now such a sudden accident suddenly appeared.

It can only be said that he himself is not a "warrior" who has experienced a hundred battles and has gained consciousness.

Mo Chen was trying his best to control himself at the moment, he wanted to turn around and run, get out of here far away, and wanted to rush back behind him and hide in the place where those people were hiding.

But he knew that it was the wrong thing to do - there was still a chance to fight now, and then there would be no chance at all, but it would certainly be very slim.

Therefore, no matter how creepy and panicked he was, he could only open his eyes and force himself to stand here.

If you can't expose yourself, hide yourself first, and wait for an opportunity to look for an opportunity...... And then, and then......

By the way, how far is it from where the "door" is located, and can we make a detour?

It was a nightmare, but it wasn't always time to wake up, fear gripped Mo Chen's heart and soul tightly, making his mind a mess. He could only think of countermeasures like this, almost brutally calming himself down.

That's right, let's figure out the current situation first!

He made a split second, turned sharply, then suddenly stood still, and turned into a crouching position, acting cautiously and cautiously.

Carefully moving to the corner of the street at a turtle speed, Mo Chen tried to bend down as much as possible and looked out from a low angle.

This was also because he heard the voices of those people talking far away.

This look made his pupils shrink suddenly, and he felt his scalp tingle-

In the distance were the soldiers, perhaps given some order, setting up checkpoints and blocking roads. The group of people who quarreled with them before should be some upper-class and elite people, brightly dressed.

This is also a matter of course, the general poor and low-class people know best how to protect themselves to the greatest extent, and they are already very difficult to live and will not ask for trouble.

So, those well-dressed elites, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how many people-

After all, from Mo Chen's angle, he couldn't see it clearly, only to see them fall to the ground like this, blood gushing out, staining the street.

It's like a wax figure, lifelike, but it doesn't have any life, it's just a dead thing.

Mo Chen never knew that his eyesight was so good, and he could actually see their frightened and distorted faces, their bloody mouths, and their frozen pupils......

There is no doubt that the shooting just now ruthlessly claimed their lives.

Souls had slipped silently from their open mouths and bleeding orifices.

“……”

“……”

I will never be able to be exposed, and I will never be able to pass through here!

Retracting his gaze, Mo Chen hid his body back on the street here, retreating behind him little by little, and at the same time made such a conclusion categorically in his mind.

There can't be only one way around which you can bypass it from other places.

He held his breath, for fear of disturbing some desolate beast, he turned around slowly, then looked around, quickly looked for a narrow and dark alley, and quickly got into it.

The city was empty, and the streets were deserted, except for the occasional sound of gunfire and explosions in all directions.

There is also the shrill roar of the tram as it speeds past on the electrified track above.

……

……

Mo Chen walked through the remote and dark alleys as much as possible, sometimes cautiously climbing up to the roof of the building along the huge iron pipe, looking for the "road signs" around him, confirming the original route direction, and correcting his travel plan.

For safety, he abandoned the route he had taken to return the way he came, and as a result, he had to spend more time and effort on detours.

Along the way, he saw countless frightened people who were taking refuge, and he also saw corpses in every street and alley, all of them the kind that could not be seen.

Maybe he was killed by the rioting guards, or maybe he was robbed by some people with ulterior motives.

The entire city was undoubtedly in turmoil, and those who were still outside at this time needed to take huge risks, but Mo Chen had no choice.

And he also noticed that there were more and more guards patrolling the streets, and his situation was becoming more and more dangerous.

Just now they just ordered no one to go out on the streets, blocked the roads, and were able to communicate or have a little security. Now, they basically just want to kill people when they see them as long as they are in a slightly remote place.

It's completely the kind that kills the red eyes and robs the red eyes, and the soldiers who originally maintained law and order are no different from the bandits at this moment.

Moreover, it is not unreasonable to say that art comes from life.

No matter how careful Mo Chen is, he is never a master thief or a legendary assassin with explosive stealth skills, and there is no way to fight his way out of the siege in a city full of dangers.

Every key intersection is blocked, every neighborhood is patrolled by guards, and there are even some outlaws who take advantage of the fire to rob, wander around, look for opportunities to commit crimes, kill people and set fires, and do all kinds of evil.

Under such circumstances, it is not uncommon to be able to safely cross one line of defense, and it can also be said to be good luck to cross three or five lines of defense in a row.

But to say that he can go smoothly from beginning to end, everyone is blind, only he has bright eyes and good luck......

That's pure.

So, as it is now-

He didn't know how many times he had carefully slowed his steps, carefully probed out, until he made sure that the alleyway around the corner was empty, and then tiptoed to the end in one go.

The preparation was prepared in this way, and he did so, but this time, it was he who had just sprinted hard, and halfway through the run, he heard movement in front of him again.

It was footsteps and swearing.

Mo Chen couldn't brake the car at all, and even if he braked the car at this time, it was useless, he raised his head and saw it almost immediately.

In the midst of a flurry of swearing, two strong men dressed as guards with guns in one hand and bloody sabers in the other turned out from the corner at the end, their faces full of ferocity.

Damn it! How so?!

His eyes widened suddenly, and then, almost without thinking, he accelerated and rushed sideways into a nearby alleyway.

Although this will cause him to deviate from his original direction, no matter how you look at it now, it is important to save his life. If he didn't run at this time, or if he stopped and turned around and ran back, he suspected that he would be shot directly.

It's no joke.

I don't know what stage of development the firearms in this world is a gunpowder weapon, but the height of development is not too amazing. But within a range of ten or twenty meters, as long as it is a musket, then the lethality and accuracy are still guaranteed.

The two guards on the opposite side probably didn't expect it, but as soon as they turned around, they saw a young man sprinting towards this side.

They were a little stunned, but it did take a full half a second to react, and both of them immediately raised their pistols in their hands, and their fingers pulled the trigger, revealing fierce expressions and bloodthirsty eyes.

As they had done not so long ago, they had every guts to repeat it, not even by guts, but by the tyrannical pleasure in their hearts.

It's such a good feeling to be in charge of someone else's life.

However, this time it was slightly different, and they found that the half-second delay they had delayed was so important that as soon as they raised their arms, the young man opposite them had already jumped extremely quickly and sped into a narrow path next to them.

All of a sudden, I couldn't see it, and I could only hear the sound of the other party running away quickly.

All this happened too quickly, they looked at each other, both of them were confused for a moment, and then exchanged a few words with each other before they ran murderously and chased after them.

……

……

Mo Chen found that his condition was even more serious.

Threatened by the possibility of bullets flying behind him, he ran out of the road for a long distance in a panic, only to realize that if he continued like this, he would be completely disoriented.

This is also normal, and when the enemy behind you may catch up and kill you at any time, who will consider distinguishing the direction and making a plan?

It's normal to rush forward in a hurry, and the most important thing is that he is not familiar with life, so it is impossible for him to know what route he is going.

But he reacted in time.

If you continue like this, you will never be able to return to the "gate", and even if you don't get caught by the people behind you, you will only lose your way in the city, and then encounter other enemies and continue to attract their attention......

As time goes on, the chances of survival become more and more slim.

No way!
