Chapter 176: The Gradually Dying City (Part I)
The dark-skinned defender untied a necklace made of colored stones from his neck and wrapped it around his dead friend's wrist with one hand.
The wise man of his hometown said that he only had to wrap a bracelet made of stones from the river next to his hometown for the deceased.
The spirits of the dead will be guided, because the stone belongs to the river, and the waters of the world are all connected, and the deceased in a foreign land is equivalent to the fallen leaves returning to their roots.
There is no so-called spirit stone in the world, and colorful stones do not have the legendary effect.
People who have been in the army for a long time know that belief is a kind of sustenance, faith is a kind of obsession, confusing common sense is only for comfort, so that there is a ritual farewell between the living and the dead.
"Condolences and change, private." Ye Xingchen stood behind him and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, sir." The soldiers of the defense army looked at the very young-looking commander gratefully, but their eyes were dark.
With his intact right hand, he pulled out the matching gun at his waist and aimed it at his temple.
"What do you do?" Ye Xingchen's hand was quick, he held his gun, and the bullet shot out from Ye Xingchen's palm.
Ye Xingchen endured the pain and threw off the pistol, put his hand behind his back, and the palm that was pierced by the bullet had stopped bleeding and began to heal.
"Sir, you don't deserve this! I am the soldier in charge of guarding the base station of the space elevator, which is my dereliction of duty. ”
"So you're going to die to apologize?"
The soldiers of the defense army lowered their heads, not daring to meet Ye Xingchen's interrogating gaze, "A group of Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples rushed in just now, they are too strong, our company can't stop them." ”
"It's not your fault, those people received drug catalysis, and the Heavenly Wolf Cultists in the city have attracted everyone's attention, only one company is too small to deploy here, it is the command level who has been tricked to divert the tiger from the mountain."
"But it's still a rereliction of duty!"
"Enough, enough people died today, if you are ashamed, go and save others, save yourself, no matter what doubts you have, follow my orders, private!" Ye Xingchen said sharply that he needed to save more people, instead of doing psychological counseling here.
"Yes, sir!" The soldiers of the defending army stood up and saluted, bandaged their left arm briefly, and staggered away in the direction guided by Ye Xingchen with their guns.
Ye Xingchen glanced at the chain made of colored stones, and a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart, what he saw and knew might be able to dominate, but the world was too big, there were all living beings, and his strength alone was too small, even if it was an evolutionary.
He needs more people, count the days, the evolutionaries in the evolutionary camp should also be trained, it's time to pull them out and yo-yo.
The mobile phone smart sent a video link request to Innova, and then Enovan accessed, which was very efficient.
"Ye Xingchen, if Xu Mengyin hadn't told me, I really didn't know that you went to find excitement again."
Ye Xingchen was slightly embarrassed, not knowing how to continue the words, this time he didn't tell Yi Nuofan about his actions.
"Alas, I know that you are hiding from me because you don't want others to follow you, it's too dangerous, but you must know that the bird kept in the cage will not be able to fly after a long time."
"Okay, my purpose in looking for you is to prepare for the beast of the Evolver to come out of the cage, you look around me." Ye Xingchen turned the camera to capture the scenes in all directions, the crumbling buildings, the debris and the smoke that rushed to the sky.
"Upper city?" Enovan was surprised, she was the first to get the news that Shangdu City was attacked by the Heavenly Wolf Sect, but she didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
"The space elevator was blown up, I'm going to stay now, you select some evolutionaries with excellent performance to carry out the mission, and if you rescue a survivor, give a certain contribution point, don't remember the ranking, do your best."
"Understood, I have already notified Wu Mo to be in place, and it is expected to arrive in half an hour."
"Okay, we'll see you afterwards, by the way, I found a spatial annihilator, named Wu Hao, the kid is very good."
"Mengyin told me, how old are you to call a man a boy, and your temperament instantly becomes tall when you wear this uniform."
Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, disconnected the mobile phone video communication link, Xu Mengyin really told her godmother everything, she originally wanted to surprise Yi Nuofan.
Anyway, it's a rare card...... No, it was the discovery of a spatial annihilator with great potential, but Enovan didn't even praise him.
He hadn't seen Yi Nuofan's surprised and happy expression, he had been cold since he met, and he had never shown a sincere smile to anyone other than Xu Mengyin.
During this period, Ye Xingchen also had a bad taste in his brain, but unfortunately, as a dedicated time and latitude evolutionary, the highly skilled Enovan could always avoid Ye Xingchen's temptation.
"Bang~"
This explosion is obviously similar to the explosion of ordinary debris, much like the sound of a grenade, and there are people on the street outside the gap in the airport!
Ye Xingchen walked smoothly from the ruins, and the sound of gun shooting gradually increased, belonging to the GS-1 military rifle and the messy guns on the other side.
There was a fierce battle between the defending army and the Heavenly Wolf Sect at the gap, and the sound was loud, and the gunfire on the side of the defending army was relatively sporadic and at a disadvantage.
Some of the defenders must have discovered the importance of this gap, as the support troops would definitely still choose to land from the airfield, which could provide the largest field for support compared to a ruined city, and only needed a little clearing to gain a foothold.
And if the people of the Sky Wolf Sect can take this opening, they will be able to rely on the original building to use the airport as a fortress, and they can also enter the wormhole that no longer exists to return.
So the two sides met at this juncture, and there was a battle for the key place of the gap, who can win the gap, which side will gain the advantage.
Ye Xingchen jumped onto the protrusion of the ruins, standing high and looking far away, the situation was similar to what he expected.
The defending soldiers and the Celestial Wolf Cultists occupied each side of the street outside the gap, firing at each other, but the Celestial Wolf Cultists used the surviving civilians as cover to make up for the gap in weapons.
The defending soldiers could only shoot the Celestial Wolf Cultists with accurate fire, so as not to accidentally injure the hostages, and they could not even use weapons of mass destruction.
The fight was extremely aggrieved, and the Celestial Wolf Cultists kept throwing old-fashioned ring grenades, which were not as lethal as advanced explosives such as cluster grenades, but the defense army did not dare to use them because they were afraid of civilians.
The defenders pushed and pushed, and they were about to be driven to the road, where there was no cover, and it was very likely that they would be destroyed by the Celestial Wolf Cultists.
The five-stone bow in Ye Xingchen's hand was full of pulls, and the arrow pierced through a Heavenly Wolf Sectist who was pushing the people towards the defenders in the next moment.
Five arrows then fired in succession, each of which hit the vital point of a Celestial Wolf Cultist, and the Celestial Wolf Cultists who found the anomaly stopped their progress and looked for cover or used hostages as meat shields to find the source of the attack.
