Seeing that the flying machine, which had only stayed on the top floor for less than thirty seconds, gradually shrank into an inconspicuous dot, Qiu Pingning's gaze finally fell back on Jian Songming's corpse, and after being stunned for a while, he suddenly stood up with inexplicable anger pressing the wound.

"Why did you just watch them run away like that?" He gasped and pushed Ling Shucheng hard from behind, the latter was really pushed by him, and his eyes revealed self-evident surprise when he turned back.

"You-" Ling Shucheng looked at him with a frown, and then lowered his eyes and glanced at the corpse on the ground, as if he was still pondering something.

After taking a closer look, it turned out that Ling Shucheng also had many small scars on his body. Qiu Pingning knew that he had always been more alert than wild animals, and this time he was actually attacked by him, apparently just sobering up from some kind of contemplation.

"You," Qiu Pingning tried to take a few deep breaths to remind himself to calm down, but to no avail, "how can you just watch them run away?" Yes? Can't you manipulate gravity and pull them all down, I-"

Ling Shucheng looked at his bloodstained face, his brows furrowed even tighter at first, but soon suddenly let go.

"Are you alright?" Ling Shucheng nodded at the position of his injury from a little distance, "Calm down." Now is not the time to relax and reflect on your mistakes. ”

His usual calm tone was clearly counterproductive at this point. The anger on Qiu Pingning's face converged into his eyes and throat at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and Ling Shucheng heard him take a cloudy breath, and said with trembling lips, "I thought that even if you couldn't save her, you should be able to avenge her." ”

Ling Shucheng's pupils slowly dilated, and a pair of eyes instantly became black and terrifying, as if he would swallow all the light he caught.

After confronting each other in silence for a few seconds, Qiu Pingning saw him blink quickly again, and then replied in a soft tone: "I originally thought I could." ”

It was as if a bowl of warm water had been poured on his head, and the nameless fire that had ignited in his heart was silently extinguished. Qiu Pingning's eyes became redder and redder, and he suddenly laughed very reluctantly, and his voice was worse than crying.

"I thought you were going to scold me." Qiu Pingning shook his head uncomfortably, "What's the 'sure enough, the police on land have never seen the world, and they can't even stand seeing a dead man on the battlefield'." ”

He didn't expect Ling Shucheng to shake his head solemnly and replied softly: "There is nothing to see in such a world. ”

Suddenly, some kind of psychological defense that had been built up collapsed. Qiu Pingning freed up his blood-stained hand and pressed it on his sour eyes, and continued to shake his head while smiling bitterly, silently shedding a line of tears that washed away the blood.

"Blame me." He said, "I should have stopped her in the first place." I promised you that you would keep her safe, sorry, I couldn't make it. ”

Ling Shucheng sighed, hesitantly stretched out his hand, and patted the other party lightly on the shoulder.

"So what now?" Qiu Pingning choked up and tried to put away his emotions, "You just ...... What are you thinking? Sorry for interrupting your train of thought. ”

"It's fine." Ling Shucheng also shook his head, "I'm just wondering if there will be any problems with them choosing to evacuate at this time even though the situation is very good." ”

"Did you figure it out?"

"Not yet." Ling Shucheng thought for a moment and asked again, "How is your injury?" ”

"Don't worry, it's ...... to die," Qiu Pingning's voice broke off unnaturally, "I probably can't die." ”

"I might have to trouble you running around a bit to try to get in touch...... Or search for others who haven't been evacuated yet. Ling Shucheng struggled to organize a relatively euphemistic sentence, "If it can still be contacted through the headset, let them go to the hospital first and treat each other's wounds briefly, including you." Anyway, after a little bit of repair, we may still have to prepare to withdraw. ”

"Withdraw?" Qiu Pingning's brows jumped, "Then what did we work so hard for before?" ”

Ling Shucheng looked at the other party's eyes, and suddenly felt a little unsure of how to answer. Yes, if they chose to evacuate now, what were the efforts they had made to preserve the city as much as possible? Is it just to prove to the six fingers the bloodiness of humans? Such a reason is also too pale.

"At least for now, I think we should try to preserve our strength as much as possible." He could only say this, "Judging from the results of the battle just now, both of us actually made a lot of mistakes, and obviously misjudged the strength of the other side in some aspects. In order to target us, Six Fingers will definitely adopt a more direct and effective strategy in the future, and will not necessarily send such a small group of elite troops to fight us at close range. ”

"But what if they use some unfigurative ranged weapon?" Qiu Pingning couldn't help but glance at the ground again, "We're ...... now But no one else has the ability to destroy objects on a massive scale. ”

"I know." Ling Shucheng's tone was also a little anxious, "But when I use my ability, the side effects on the construction are too great." ”

"That ......"

"Anyway, you go and contact the others first." Ling Shucheng pointed to the south, "I'll go and see in the direction they came from." Please feel free to contact us if you have any new information. ”

"Okay." Qiu Pingning turned to his side and squatted down next to the corpse on the ground, "I...... Tidy up for her a little and leave right away. ”

Jian Songming didn't wear too much, and after she tore a few pieces of fabric, it looked even more indecent. Qiu Pingning closed her wide eyes with her hand and carefully sorted out the appearance of the corpse.

“…… Let's go, it doesn't make much sense. Seeing a line of freshly dripping blood on the ground, Ling Shucheng felt that he still needed to stand up at an inopportune time to stop it, "People die like lights going out. She won't feel anything anymore. You should be quick to treat the wound. ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Qiu Pingning exhaled slowly, tilted his head and looked up at him, and said with a complicated expression, "How can I say that this is also the first time I have encountered my teammates dying by my side, so it should be regarded as a boring ritual." ”

He maintained a half-squatting posture, and suddenly reached out his hand and dug it into Jian Songming's pocket.

"What's that?" Ling Shucheng's eyesight is actually no worse than him.

"Chocolate, do you want it?" Qiu Pingning's hand holding the bag trembled a little, "Keep a souvenir." You can also take a bite at the critical moment. ”

"I don't like sweets, you can keep them." Ling Shucheng turned around, "I'll go first." ”

"Okay, be careful yourself."

When he almost fell from the height of the thirtieth floor due to the collapse of the soles of his feet, Ling Shucheng thought in a trance that he had met a 'gifted' with similar abilities.

He tried to trace the source of the violent tremors, only to be distracted and hit in the back by a falling rock.

Fortunately, it was not the back of the head that was smashed. If he ends up planting on his usual methods, then his life will end too ironically.

Ling Shucheng pressed one hand on his back with the pain, and the other hand was still tightly tugging on a piece of exposed steel bar, most of his body was suspended in the air, and he even swayed back and forth slightly in the evening breeze.

Even at sunset, the early summer sun shines as hot as it deserves. Sweat dripped into the cracks of the bricks, Ling Shucheng let go of his hand and squinted his eyes after landing lightly.

"Does anyone else hear me?" He asked into a quiet headset.

Of course, no one answered. The survivors were probably busy saving themselves at this time, and Ling Shucheng could only hope that the earthquake just now would not further reduce their chances of survival.

The epicenter was probably at the bottom of the sea, and it is not entirely certain whether it was a coincidental geological movement or a human factor. But unless their luck is really too bad, Ling Shucheng still prefers the latter.

What does an undersea earthquake mean? This is all too well known to him as a man who is accustomed to manipulating gravity.

"Hey, Ling Shucheng, are you still alive?" Qiu Pingning's voice suddenly came from the headset, "If you hear it, speak quickly, don't be silent at this point." ”

"I'm still here, I'm fine." Ling Shucheng stood at the top of the half-collapsed high-rise building, "What about you over there?" ”

"We were lucky, all the people who were still alive were concentrated in the courtyard of the hospital, and only one of the unlucky ones was hit by a tree, but it was nothing serious." Qiu Pingning was in a commotion, "Fortunately, I rescued in advance except for one or two devices that can maintain communication for a short time, otherwise I will definitely not be able to contact you at this time." ”

"Hmm...... But since there's nothing big going on your side, why does it sound so noisy now? ”

"Alas, I have two pieces of bad news for you." Qiu Pingning, who was on the other end of the communication, was drinking alcohol in one hand and bandaging the other, making every wounded man who had bandaged under his hands cry wolf in pain, "First," he paused, "We have already died quite a few people." ”

"What about the numbers?" At this time, he couldn't care whether the words were good or not, Ling Shucheng asked directly, "The dead, the seriously injured, the lightly injured...... And the missing people, if you have a basic count, tell me. ”

"If you add in the missing people who can't be contacted now, it's probably more than half." Qiu Pingning lowered his voice, "There are still alive, and there are no injuries on their bodies." ”

"Got it. The second piece of bad news? You hurry up and say. The orange-red sunlight shone on the gradually converging waves along the skyline, Ling Shucheng sighed in his heart, and his voice still maintained his usual composure.

"The second bad news is that when we just broke into the hospital, we actually found a batch of ...... that hadn't had time to be transferred" Qiu Pingning bit his lip on the other end of his can't see, so he "hissed" lightly, "Baby." ”

"Baby?" Ling Shucheng was stunned for a moment, "How big is it?" What about the quantity? ”

"There's a whole room, you always know the nursery, right? In short, we have a surplus of one for each of us now. Qiu Pingning picked his head, "How big...... How do you call me to describe this? It's a little smaller than a medium-sized watermelon. I'm an unmarried man, and I don't know how to read the months. ”

Even though the situation was very inappropriate, Ling Shucheng was suddenly relieved because of the other party's poor metaphorical ability.

“…… So what now? Without waiting for the other party's answer, Qiu Pingning had to take the initiative to speak again, "Since you have met, you can't just leave it alone, right?" Children are now the most expensive things, and they can't stand the slightest bump. It is estimated that the doctors and nurses who escaped also felt that they were cumbersome and easy to waste, so they did not bring them. ”

"Now that you've found it, you can't just leave it alone."

"Yes, yes, good man, but I'm afraid you also know that as soon as this earthquake passes, the tsunami is coming." Qiu Pingning's background volume decreased slightly, and it was estimated that someone had stood up to preside over the order, "The track has already exploded, collapsed." We're on two legs now...... Well, some people still walk on one leg, and it's hard to say whether they can get out alive, let alone carry a burden. ”

"I'll try to buy you time."

"You-" Qiu Pingning dragged out a long voice, obviously a little unsure of how to describe the turbulent waves in his heart at this time, "Hey friend, you also have a limit to being a hero." If it's an enemy who can get in the way, I'll barely trust you. But what you're going to face next is a tsunami! The power of pure nature! The ten-meter-high wave suddenly pushes towards you, and in an instant, all the buildings on the shore are gone. In a few minutes, the sea will flood all the streets. We're too low. ”

"Don't worry, I have a way." Ling Shucheng was still very sure of what he said, and he didn't seem to have the intention of explaining more to him.

"Damn, I'm convinced." Qiu Pingning nodded helplessly on the other end, "Seriously, with your level of recklessness, you can actually survive until now, and you haven't even suffered any major injuries, I think it's already God's favor." Why, you don't know how to retreat yet, and you vow to squander your good luck? You're going to die! ”

"I didn't take it anymore. I didn't die that easily either. ”

The scale-like waves on the surface of the sea are gradually dissipating, or rather converging. In the distance, gray-white lines are approaching. Facing a hot wind, Ling Shucheng carefully looked around, looking for usable materials for his next actions.

"Unless you tell me what the hell you're going to do." Qiu Pingning was still chattering, "Otherwise, I will come over and arrest you immediately." ”

“…… Building. Ling Shucheng replied a little helplessly, "I plan to destroy all the buildings near the shore and make the bricks and stones into a simple embankment." Although there is no guarantee of how long it will be able to resist, it can limit and weaken the destructive power of the water rushing ashore to a certain extent, giving you a chance to evacuate. ”

"You're the only one who wants to destroy all the nearshore buildings in a short period of time?" Qiu Pingning couldn't hold back and roared, "What are you kidding!" I'm also a gifted person, and I know that everyone's abilities have limits. You've already consumed quite a bit today, huh? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can really succeed, do you still have the strength to retreat? Isn't the south side already made by you like a tofu block, and it can all collapse in minutes? How are you going to run then? ”

"It's really hard to get out of the way, but there's still a chance to come back alive." After Ling Shucheng said this, he directly unplugged the headset and threw this gadget far away.
