Chapter 12: Rainbow
The battle in the dense forest ended quickly, but the onlookers felt that the temperature had changed, Lin Jin and the leopard attendants felt colder, especially the few people who were cut by the broken knife, only they could really feel the danger just now, and they were still in a cold sweat at this time; Qi Yunxiao and Wolf Wei felt hot, I don't know if it was because of Chen Zhen's skills or Lin Jin's face, they were a little excited, but out of respect for the leopard servant, they didn't show it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Stepping on the dead leaves all over the ground, Chen Zhen walked to the side of the mutant armadillo, inserted the short knife back into the ground, leaned down, and slowly stretched out his left hand to the little armadillo, let it smell for a while, then picked it up, handed it to his right hand, turned his head to look at Zhou Ding and said, "Borrow the knife." ”
Zhou Ding pulled out the long knife, pressed the mechanism behind the handle, let the vibrating stone in the handle touch, and then threw it at Chen Zhen.
As if sensing something, the mutant armadillo opened his eyes again, and did not look at Chen Zhen, nor at the long knife in his hand, but just looked at the little armadillo, his eyes were as calm as Chen Zhen, and he couldn't see love, care, or sigh at fate, just watched, without blinking.
But the little armadillo seemed to see something in the eyes of the mother, struggled hard, and made a peculiar chirp, sharp but pleasant, which moved the listener.
Qi Yunxiao and Aunt Mei both looked over the top and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
The mutant armadillo took a deep breath and spewed out, blowing the gravel on the surface of its nose, and it took a comfortable position and closed its eyes again, as if it was ready for a good night's sleep.
In the mournful sound of the little armadillo, Chen Zhen raised his knife and stabbed into the top of the mutant armadillo's head, sinking straight into the handle.
The mutant armadillo's body shook for a moment, but the throbbing limbs finally stopped.
The little armadillo was still struggling and chirping, Chen Zhen put it down, it immediately ran to the mother beast, put its head on the female beast's cheek, and looked up a few times to see if the mother beast had opened her eyes, it seemed that she usually did this, but this time the mother beast could not wake up again.
After trying hard for a while, the little armadillo stopped, turned its head to look at Chen Zhen, it saw with its own eyes that Chen Zhen had killed those leopard attendants, although it didn't understand why he killed the female beast too, but when he looked at him, there was no hatred in his eyes, but it was full of helplessness and unwillingness.
Chen Zhen pulled out his knife, wiped the blood stains on it with his left hand, picked up the little armadillo again, and turned to walk towards the three corpses of the leopard attendant.
Blood can't be wasted, he didn't suck the large amount of blood in the mutant armadillo's body, he just sucked the three leopard pawns dry and threw their corpses in front of Lin Jin and the others.
"There will be a date later." Lin Jin said to Chen Zhen with a cold face, wait for the leopard attendants to lift the corpse, help the wounded, and lead everyone to walk outside the forest.
…………
Walking back to Zhou Ding, Chen Zhen returned the long knife, thanked him, and said, "I plan to go to Yancheng first." ”
At this time, only the people in Liang Cheng were still here, and they were all shocked when they heard this, he was planning to pick Yancheng single-handedly?
"You...... What's the plan? Zhou Ding returned the long knife to its scabbard.
"Solve the problem at the root." Chen Zhen thought for a moment and handed the little armadillo to Qi Yunxiao: "You should be able to take care of it." ”
He didn't make a promise to the mutant armadillo to take care of the little armadillo, it was much better to let the little armadillo follow Qi Yunxiao than to follow him, at least the safety was guaranteed, Qi Yunxiao's father was the supreme leader of the wolf guard, as long as Liang Cheng didn't have problems, the little armadillo would be fine.
"How are you going to solve it?" Zhou Ding wants to implement it clearly.
"In the simplest way." Chen Zhen took out another roll of bandages and began to wrap his hands.
The simplest way, naturally, is to completely eliminate troubles and hidden dangers.
"Don't go!" Zhou Ding hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "The leopard attendant is not as weak as you think, and you may not be able to come back if you go." ”
"I know, I just took advantage of the location, but I can always find a solution to the problem." Chen Zhen is a man of action, but not a reckless person, and from the moment he decides to go to Yancheng, he begins to conceive a plan of action in his head.
"Or ...... Don't go. Zhou Ding thought for a while and said, "I guarantee that the leopard attendant will not trouble you in Liangcheng." ”
"That's right." Qi Yunxiao hugged the little armadillo and also persuaded: "For the sake of the safety of the citizens of Yancheng, you should still live in Liangcheng." ”
Qin Shan didn't forget to remind: "Of course, don't go to them for trouble, it's good to live simply, and if you look for trouble, you can't live simply." ”
Zhou Ding hurriedly nodded and said: "Try to integrate, unless someone really wants to kill you, try to bear with it, let the wolf guard solve the trouble for you, we owe you so much, I guarantee that anyone who dares to provoke you will not end well, many internal guards are idle and have nothing to do on weekdays, whoever messes with you, let's go to his house for tea every day." ”
Chen Zhen thought for a while, nodded slightly, he hadn't heard the word "integration" for a long time, and brought out a lot of memories.
Seeing that he agreed, all the wolf guards breathed a sigh of relief, this is a man who promises a lot of money, and he will definitely do what he says.
But Zhou Ding still has a headache, how to place Chen Zhen is a big problem, should he announce the identity of the bones in advance, or wait until he is discovered? How would the citizens of Liangcheng react when they knew that there was a bone living in the city? With the wolf guard as a guarantee, it won't have much reaction, but the leopard attendant doesn't know what kind of retaliation there will be, Chen Zhen is not cotton with hidden needles, pinching it will only hurt the palm of his hand, he is a landmine, and he will be crushed if he steps on it.
"Let's let Qi Tou and Team Yang have a headache." After thinking about it and thinking about it, Zhou Ding decided to talk to Qi Yunxiao's father, Qi Feng, and Yang Yan, the captain of the foreign guard.
…………
The group walked more than 1,000 meters in the direction of Liangcheng, and out of the dense forest, they came to the second layer of Liangcheng's defense belt - open space.
The ground of the clearing is flat and solid, and any mutated creatures that appear in this ring area will be discovered, and if they pose a threat to Liang City, the wolf guards will collectively dispatch to kill them.
This ring-shaped area is two kilometers wide, and you can already see Liangcheng in the center of the ring in the distance, and the most conspicuous nature is the "rainbow" above the city.
There are a total of nine cities in Pangea, each city is a perfect circle, and there are two intersecting arc-shaped metal bars above each city, five meters wide, with sharp edges, and the two ends are connected to the city wall, spanning the entire city, because of the shape of a rainbow, this device is called "Rainbow".
The Rainbow is actually black, and the intersection is in the center of the city, "propped" by a metal pole called the "Pillar of Heaven", which in normal times drives the Rainbow to rotate slowly, driving away the mutated creatures that can fly - whether it is birds or insects, they will not choose to stay on things that can move - when encountering the mutant biota that the wolf guard cannot resist, the speed of the Rainbow will increase, and the mutant biota that climbs the city wall will be cut into pieces.
Turning the pillars of heaven is a huge steam power unit buried beneath the city.
There is no electricity on the Pangea continent, because electricity attracts mutant creatures, and it is said that the first city to build a power plant also built a power plant, and from the night of the electrification, large mutant creatures came one after another, day by day, and only lasted until the third day, the city was razed to the ground, and less than one percent of the people escaped.
Since then, electricity has been forgotten, and the concept now exists only in the clouds, and whenever lightning travels between heaven and earth, older people tell their children and grandchildren about electricity as if they had ever seen it.
The efficiency of the steam engine is far inferior to that of the internal combustion engine, but the extraction of oil is a big death, the vibration of the ground will attract mutated organisms, and there are countless large insects lurking underground, so after the volatilization, combustion, and use of gasoline, diesel and other fuels, the internal combustion engine is gradually forgotten, and as long as there are hot stones and water, the steam engine can run well.
In addition to the Rainbow, vehicles are also run by steam.
The city guard's chariot is called "Hedgehog Car", shaped like a ladybug, and the body is full of long spikes, some of which can also be shot out to kill insects, Qi Yunxiao and the two hedgehog cars they rode in would not have been scrapped halfway if they hadn't encountered the mutant marching ants, which were not large in size but were extremely numerous.
Even before the cataclysm, marching ants were the kings of land, and any animal that encountered them had to flee, they did not have an anthill, they killed an animal when they encountered it, ate it until it was left with a pile of bones, and then continued on its way, never stopping.
There are a few hedgehog cars parked outside the east gate of Liangcheng, there are wolf guards and leopard guards, Lin Jin will definitely retaliate, but it is impossible to come so quickly, but the revenge on the other side is as fast as lightning.
…………
Qi Yunxiao already couldn't put down the little armadillo, hugged it tightly in his arms, and didn't have to worry about strangling it anyway, and the little armadillo didn't know if it was because of the previous worry and heartbreak, or because he was enjoying the warmth of Qi Yunxiao's body and the elasticity on his chest, he had fallen asleep.
The wolf guards saw the city they were familiar with, and their faces couldn't help but smile, they were home, this was a dream a month ago, and that bandaged hand brought them hope, and now the dream has come true.
On the city wall, the wolf guard in charge of vigilance saw a group of people, waving his hand from afar, Yang Yan, the captain of the wolf guard, led a group of people out of the city gate, the number of wolf guards on Zhou Ding's side was wrong, and he didn't take a hedgehog car, anyone could guess that something happened on the way, but Qi Yunxiao, deputy captain Zhou Ding and patrol captain Qin Shan were all safe and sound, and God blessed.
When they arrived here, it was really safe, and everyone walked more scattered, Zhou Ding, Qin Shan, Qi Yunxiao and Chen Zhen were in front, and the rest of the wolf guards followed behind with a bang, and the gasoline barrel used for bathing was knocked loudly.
Every step Chen took was still the same distance, and his movements were still as smooth as the wind, but when he reached the center of the empty space, he suddenly frowned, stopped, and looked up at the sky sharply.
