Unexpectedly, the city was not destroyed by the hands of Six Fingers, but was mostly destroyed by itself.

White waves are eating the shore. Ling Shucheng casually brushed his hair that was blown by the sea breeze, and continued to stand at the highest point near him and look down.

It's no wonder that no matter how strong he is, Six Fingers always harbors some kind of indescribable fear of the "gifted" group. He slowly stretched out his palms and watched as the abrasions on them healed.

It's not far from monsters, indeed. If he had been born in an era of peace when human beings and the Six Fingers had nothing to do with each other, he would probably have a completely different life from what he has now, right?

Ling Shucheng waved his hand expressionlessly, and the column of houses closest to the shore immediately collapsed, as if the ground had suddenly been punctured by something. The torrent that rushed to the shore had dispersed slightly due to the sudden obstruction, and the loud noise filled Ling Shucheng's eardrums, which he knew were many of the internal components of the building being washed away or deflated.

The first attempt didn't work out as well as it could have been. The wave had only temporarily slowed down its advance, and there was still a distance of about a hundred meters between him and him. This may be due to the fact that the houses on the shore are not densely distributed and of insufficient quality and height, and most of them are just tourist facilities such as resort hotels, which are not good dam materials.

Ling Shucheng rubbed the sweat on his face with the back of his hand, and continued to destroy the layers of "building blocks" in front of him.

It's more like playing dominoes. Distant memories flashed through his mind. A long, long time ago, his father seemed to give him a large box of wooden blocks of different shapes as a birthday present, and then assigned a homework assignment on how to build a stable house with as many wooden blocks as possible while ensuring that the final stack height is more than one meter.

This is still a little too difficult for a child who is just old enough to enter the first grade of elementary school. Ling Shucheng remembers that he probably spent more than two weeks on this assignment, and finally piled up something like a pyramid.

"Yo, it's not bad. Triangles are indeed more stable, are you considered self-taught? At that time, there was only one layer of wrinkles at the corners of the man's eyes, "Sure enough, every child's potential is unlimited...... Judging by the results, you are not particularly smart, but at least you are relatively patient. ”

"So what kind of answer counts as smart?" Ling Shucheng remembers that he was very direct from the beginning.

"It's not easy." The man squinted his eyes and smiled at him, full of old fox looks, "Did I say that you are not allowed to ask for help from the sidelines?" What a silly boy. ”

He lifted one leg and easily kicked Ling Shucheng's two-week hard work, and then continued to say slowly: "When it's time to be independent, you should be independent, and when it's time to learn to cooperate, you have to honestly ask for help." It is also a very important knowledge to distinguish which things can only be done by one person, and which things really need to be divided by the team. ”

"But how do I choose who I turn to?" Ling Shucheng has always maintained a very good learning attitude, "Just like this time, I don't look for you because I know you won't be available." ”

"How to choose friends to work with and cultivate your own team may take you half a lifetime to sum up a little experience." The man patiently replied, "And there are no shortcuts to the process of gaining experience, because even the methods I have summarized may not be one-size-fits-all." Take a few more lessons, and you will gradually accumulate something. ”

The bricks scattered in my memory and the ruins submerged in the sea in front of me gradually overlapped. Ling Shucheng suddenly realized that at that time, his father had already anticipated his future main direction, so he deliberately laid the foundation for him in architecture since he was a child.

Or the destruction of the foundations of buildings. Ling Shucheng thought of his cold kick, and the destruction efficiency was really high.

Unfortunately, what my father did not anticipate was that over the years, all sorts of people had come and gone from him, and most of them eventually turned into ghosts that occasionally lived in his barren dreams. Ling Shucheng would occasionally pull out a dusty photo album from his memory, where they would always remain as they had been, quietly waiting for the end of the album's annihilation with the owner of the album.

Even my father himself has been frozen into a few pages in the album. Ling Shucheng can now finally accept this reality calmly. Many of the questions he had not been able to ask in the past would never have been answered by his father again. Thinking about it this way, his recklessness in terms of feelings is a blessing in misfortune. At least he told Yuan Sui his heart in person at a not too bad time, and did not plant another bitter fruit that would make him regret it for life.

Consciousness is becoming more and more difficult to concentrate. The world that Ling Shucheng saw in his eyes at this time was like a black-and-white channel with intermittent signals.

He's reaching the limit of what he's capable of. But the improvised embankments are still far from sufficient.

The gray sky hung low. Ling Shucheng turned around unsteadily, setting his sights on the tallest building in the city center.

There is only one way to go. He simply focused what little energy he had left, trying to destroy the foundation on one side of the building with the idea of giving it a try.

If he was lucky, the tilt of the foundation would have caused the tall building to fall straight 90 degrees to the south. It is large enough for the tide to divert completely from the city on both sides, running east and west respectively, thus preserving the northern access to the outside world.

To achieve this goal, strength and precision are indispensable, and the actual difficulty of operation is like shaking a tree. Even when he is at his best, the probability of success is not more than half. Not to mention that all the indicators of his body are constantly approaching the limit, and he may fall into an uncontrolled coma at any time.

The sound of the tide is already approaching. Ling Shucheng couldn't tell whether it was his body or the ruins under his feet that was shaking. But the angle of inclination of the high-rise building is still not satisfactory. Not to mention that there is no sign of collapse, even the most fragile glass windows are still intact. This shows that the force exerted by Ling Shucheng is far from enough.

He pressed the wound on his back that he didn't have time to heal with his backhand, and forced himself to wake up with pain.

I'm probably going to die here. At this moment, Ling Shucheng thought vaguely.

The waves had already begun to push against his standing. There is no way to avoid it, and there is no way to retreat. In the midst of an extremely suppressed roar, he smiled bitterly from the bottom of his heart.

He suddenly felt very lonely. Until the end, no one could stand by his side for long.

Just when Ling Shucheng was about to give up his efforts and face reality, he heard a loud noise.

All of a sudden, all the glass on the tall building shattered at once. The huge tremor apparently did not come from him. Before Ling Shucheng could fully react, he heard a somewhat familiar female voice repeating his name not far away.

"Ling Shucheng" Bai Ji stepped on a few falling gravel blocks and jumped continuously, his long hair gathered and flew away in the wind, "Ling Shucheng, don't relax"

"Mom......?" Awkwardly called out an infrequently used title, Ling Shucheng's tired eyes widened a little.

"The two of us have to pool our forces on one point." Even without any prior communication, Bai Ji's process of comprehending his strategy was still very smooth, "Don't slack off and get through these dozens of seconds, after that, there is a time for you to rest"

"No...... No, it's too late. Before his mind could taste the taste of being carried away by a miracle, Ling Shucheng's heart was once again crawling with fear, "You go and don't get close to here again."

Bai Ji temporarily floated in the air on his side with his ability, obviously not listening to his dissuasion, and even threw him a cold roll of the eye from a distance.

"Others prepare," Ling Shucheng heard her deep and powerful voice.

A triangular wall of dirt suddenly rose from the rubble and forcibly split the waves that were about to pounce on him. Many unfamiliar faces were popping up from the uneven surroundings.

The tiny flames that rose from the palms of the unknown boy were quickly engulfed by the sea, and the steaming mist swept everyone's faces. The muscular man held up several times the weight of the stone in his hands, and with his human strength he worked hard to strengthen the fortifications in front of him. The triangular pillars of mud that rose from the ruins seemed to be arranged in some formation, and after being completely destroyed by the tide, they would soon form new ones in their place.

A lot of people are shouting at the same time. Some people use polite words, while others scold vulgarity. The blood in his body that had been frozen for a long time seemed to be boiling together with the newly absorbed water vapor, and with a fine sweat, Ling Shucheng struggled to distinguish Bai Ji's voice.

"Go on." Bai Ji landed beside him and pressed the equally hot hands on Ling Shucheng's shoulders, "Let's ...... together You don't need me to tell me where you should be aiming for, right? ”

Ling Shucheng took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

"Hold on, everyone hold on a little longer" Bai Ji shouted into the headset, "Don't stand on the south side of that building and repeat it one last time, everyone who should move away will move away immediately"

Responses are uneven. Ling Shucheng felt that his eyes were hot.

"Come, I'm going to do my best, and you're prepared, don't let anything go wrong in this joint." Bai Ji's tone was stern, but the force on his shoulder was very gentle, "Five, four, three......"

I didn't have time to pay attention to the sour drop of water that mixed into my eyes. Ling Shucheng silently followed her and counted down.

"II...... a"

The last image in Ling Shucheng's eyes was the moment when the tall building fell.

"Haven't woken up yet? It's time for him to learn a long lesson. ”

"This is the guy you're talking about? Coincidentally, he was the one who caught me in the bureau. ”

"Actually, my sin is also condemned by him. The opportunity is rare, do you want to take the opportunity to secretly retaliate? ”

"Don't, then I don't dare. If you dare to bully her son, that beautiful aunt will definitely beat me to death. ”

"How do you know it's her son? I don't think they look very alike. ”

"Isn't that like? They looked at me with a frown on their faces. ”

"No, Captain White isn't as talkative as her son. Based on what I know about Captain Bai, if I let her know about your previous incident, I guess she will also lock you back in the bureau and let you make up the time......"

Ling Shucheng opened his eyes and calmly looked at the two people who were discussing and drawing pictures beside the bedside.

"Yo, wake up." The apple in Zhai Yiwen's hand had just been peeled, "Sure enough, it's better to wake up early than to wake up, do you want to eat some?" For the sake of your immeasurable merit of sacrificing yourself this time, I can give it to you with reluctance. ”

“…… No. A bunch of whole apple peels hung down in front of Ling Shucheng's eyes, he turned his face sideways and dodged slightly, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"What are you asking? Be specific. Zhai Yiwen divided the apple in half in the palm of his hand, "You really don't want to eat it?" You've been passing out for two days, are you really not hungry? Do you think you're a fairy who only eats air? ”

Ling Shucheng glanced at the glucose hanging from the infusion pole.

"Okay, okay, don't eat it." Zhai Yiwen quickly stuffed the larger half into the mouth of the young man next to him, and there was actually a smiling expression on his face, "Then it's cheaper for him." ”

Ling Shucheng stared at it for a while, revealing a slightly surprised expression.

"What, officer, you don't remember me?" The young man swallowed the chewed apple in pieces, and his expression was very relaxed, "You can be saved this time, I am the greatest hero." ”

"Are you ......" Ling Shucheng searched for a while in his still somewhat sore brain, "The ...... who robbed last time?" ”

He said it too bluntly, and the young man's face fell, and he nodded reluctantly for a while.

"How could you two ......" Ling Shucheng paused, his eyes gradually cleared, "I remembered, you"

"It's a neighbor in a cell together." Zhai Yiwen rarely smiled so sincerely, "We also went out of the city from the north together later. Isn't he particularly good at running? This time, your mother was able to get the news so quickly and bring someone over, thanks to his legs. ”

"I see." Ling Shucheng blinked, but still couldn't help asking, "So what are you two happy about?" ”

"I thought you'd ask where your mom got her new team from."

"Well, you can answer whichever question you want first." Ling Shucheng was a little helpless.

"Your mother has been busy relocating the residents of the former Pangu recently, and she has been in contact with a lot of people, and after learning about the recent movements of the six fingers by chance, she made some preparations in advance." Zhai Yiwen smiled and showed a row of neat teeth, "Another good thing, you let him tell you himself." ”

Ling Shucheng immediately looked at the young man, who licked his lips, his expression was about to sell a pass, but he was stabbed by Zhai Yiwen with his elbow.

"Hey, don't rush. Since it's good news for him, I'm not allowed to brew it. The boy's tone was a little aggrieved.

"That's more than good news. Believe it or not, as soon as you finish speaking, he can jump out of the hospital bed immediately. Zhai Yiwen raised his eyebrows at Ling Shucheng.

"What the hell is going on?" Ling Shucheng urged rarely. Judging from the performance of these two people, he actually had a faint feeling in his heart.

"To put it simply, when I was undergoing labor reform, I accidentally heard a name from a few guests from other places." The young man grew up and said in a straight voice, "They claimed to be originally engaged in scientific research, but not long ago they were caught by a group of talented people in the deep mountains and old forests......"

"Let's get to the point first." Zhai Yiwen stabbed him again.

"Well, they say, there was a little girl in that group of gifted people who could manipulate the rope, and it made them suffer a lot." Gaining a sense of accomplishment from Ling Shucheng's eyes, the young man pretended to touch his chin profoundly, "That little girl's name...... It seems to be called Yuan Sui. ”
