Chapter 16: The Man Who Shouldn't Be
A dazzling flash of incandescent light, accompanied by a violent sound and concussion, Wu Yue instantly lost his sensory perception, and even his hands and feet could not be controlled, and fell from the octopus tentacles.
If there was no problem with Wu Yue's memory from the last second, in this messy situation, he could still be sure that these sounds and lights suddenly erupted from Lu Xiaoai's body, not from somewhere else.
Falling with him were Lu Xiaoai and the octopus's many terrifying tentacles.
Wu Yue shook his head and got up, staggered to the octopus, picked up something on the ground and slammed it on its head.
One, two, three, four...... It wasn't until he couldn't see the original octopus shape that Wu Yue stopped panting.
But all he stopped was smashing the octopus, he didn't actually stop to rest, but turned around and ran towards Lu Xiaoai, wanting to see if she was injured.
Lu Xiaoai didn't have any major problems except for some extradermal abrasions, but the extreme fear just now made her suddenly throw herself into Wu Yue's arms and cry loudly.
Wu Yue saw Lu Xiaoai's appearance, although he felt that something was not good, but he couldn't push Lu Xiaoai away.
Wu Yue stiffened for a while, and finally could only comfort her with some weak words, while other things came to mind in his mind: there were so many terrible monsters in the world, he had to go to her immediately, she must be alone now, it was too dangerous!
Thinking of this, Wu Yue resolutely pushed Lu Xiaoai away, and was about to say something, when he saw a young man standing in front of them with a gorgeous long sword like the one described in TV series and novels.
The boy's expression seemed a little surprised, and he looked at the scene with an embarrassed but polite smile.
"Looks like your friends are here, they should be fine." Wu Yue looked at the handsome Shi Li and smiled reluctantly, "I still have to find a friend, so I'll leave first, and we'll see you later." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Lu Xiaoai grabbed the corner of Wu Yue's clothes, shook his head, and looked at him with eager eyes, "Wu Yue, come with us, you are too dangerous alone!" ”
"It's because it's dangerous that I'm in a hurry to find her, and I can't delay any longer!" Wu Yue gently got rid of Lu Xiaoai's hand, turned his head and resolutely left the supermarket.
Leaving only Lu Xiaoai, she looked at the direction of Wu Yue's departure a little sloppily, and even when Wang Yueyue and Xiao Pomegranate and others approached, she didn't react much.
Night fell quickly, because they had blocked the door of the storage room before, and compared to other rooms, the storage room was not easy to open, so Xiao Lexian and his party of seven chose to continue to rest in the storage room.
Soon, Xiao Lexian, Shi Li and Qian Quan, who was almost out of strength, blocked the door again.
There are 3 of them in a row, but all of them are grouped into the same locker for safety.
After discussion, it was decided that Qian Quan, Xiao Lexian and Shi Li would take turns to keep vigil by the window of the lounge, and Qian Quan would be on duty in the first half of the night.
Looking at the six people who were sleeping in the sleeping bags found in the supermarket living area, and Qian Quan, who was almost asleep by the window frame, Xiao Lexian couldn't help but feel physically and mentally exhausted, but there was no way to do it, he inexplicably brought such a group of people, it seems that this has a great impact on the speed of his trip, and the probability of encountering trouble will also increase. However, the fact is that everyone is useful for the trip.
So far, except for Qian Quan, who is not sure, everyone else will actually be the combat effectiveness of this temporary squad.
Xiao Lexian is struggling, whether to gamble or not?
He actually wanted to convince himself that as long as they ignored the people and things on the road, the speed of the journey should not have a big impact.
But this world is actually like this, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if.
It's good on weekdays, but there will be problems at critical moments. It's like when he goes to class every day and the teacher doesn't call names, and one day he skips class, and the teacher names him.
This kind of bet is really not necessarily appropriate.
So, now, he is keeping vigil in the middle, just to find a quiet time to digest the crystal nucleus of the mutant Tibetan mastiff, and when his strength is stronger, there is no need for such a forward-looking future.
He knows that Qian Quan must not be able to stay up this night, and it is okay to stay up late playing games, but what happened during the day, Qian Quan must be physically and mentally exhausted, Xiao Lexian also knows that although Qian Quan didn't say anything, he can't hold on, so it will be more convenient for Xiao Lexian to do whatever he wants to do this night, and he has time to tidy himself up and down in the middle of the night.
Just as Xiao Lexian took out the crystal nucleus and was about to absorb it, a small squeak came into his ears clearly, like the sound of wood cracking.
Xiao Lexian quickly caught Qian Quan, who was almost asleep, and gently put it on the ground, so that he could sleep well.
Then, when the position of the window sill was out of the way, a wooden stake abruptly rose to the level position of the window, and a tall man in black with a long sword stood on it expressionlessly.
Xiao Lexian squinted, threw the crystal nucleus in his right hand to his left hand in an instant, pulled out the watermelon knife on his back with his right hand, stood up straight, secretly vigilant, but made a relaxed expression.
For this uninvited guest, Xiao Lexian was very familiar with it in his previous life - Xie Hui, the captain of the first detachment of his singularity team, a person with special abilities in the wood department, and very good at using swords, is one of the main members of his team, and one of the people who were once absolutely loyal, but he was attacked and killed by a strange beast in the final decisive battle with Wen Yangqiu, and he died on the same day......
But now the person in front of him, although no matter how Xiao Lexian looks at it, is Xie Hui, but loyalty is such a thing, it is indefinite.
He, Xiao Lexian, if he was still in his previous life, he absolutely believed that Xie Hui would not betray him.
However, the current Xie Hui is not normal, according to the law, Xie Hui in this life should not be in this city, and he can't operate the wood ability like an arm......
So, why did Xie Hui come here again after he had mastered the ability?
If, such a powerful Xie Hui ...... Want to kill him......
Xie Hui looked at Xiao Lexian's eyes, Xiao Lexian's eyes were as calm as ever, but he knew that Xiao Lexian had begun to guard against him, because Xiao Lexian had never looked at him so emotionless and so indifferent before.
Xie Hui jumped off the stake, entered the house, and walked slowly towards Xiao Lexian......
