"Ka, Ohm. "A simple instantaneous spell, the lowest volume chanting mountain elf fingered, the temperature around the small cylinder that flashed red suddenly dropped, and in the blink of an eye, it was frozen in a cloud of ice, but this was meaningless, the self-propelled mines in the ice were still flashing red.

"Hmph. Mia snorted coldly, her eyes that had been squinting suddenly widened, and the light in her eyes skyrocketed, and the next moment, everyone felt a compelling cold, and the low temperature not only swept away the higher and higher heat in the energy isolation barrier, but even stabbed the skin of those ordinary people, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

The red light flickered more and more rapidly, and when it reached a limit after two seconds, it suddenly stopped, and all the locals present held their breath, closed their eyes and shrunk their necks into a ball, waiting for the explosion to come.

However, nothing happened.

"Get up, don't play dead. Shul casually kicked a few people on their stomachs, "Hurry up." ”

People cautiously opened their eyes, only to find that the self-propelled mines that should have detonated in the ice were unscathed, as if they had lost their vitality.

"Most explosions are temperature-related chain reactions. Mia wasn't explaining to the locals, but to Shure, "As long as the temperature is controlled, then the explosion can be stopped, but the freezing technique doesn't last, the ice will vaporize after a while, and when the temperature rises, I'm not sure if the explosion will continue." ”

"Duration. ”

"Two minutes. ”

"Enough. Shul nodded, gesturing to Saf.

"There are changes. Saph lowered his voice and said, "The voice hasn't changed much, it shouldn't be that you have noticed us, but you are just alert." ”

"Miriday, Shade. ”

"Selen, get to work. The necromancer gently stroked the top of the skeleton's head, and a thick black qi gushed out from the two black hole eye sockets of the skeleton, quickly spreading all around, and soon half of the street was shrouded in black mist.

"Don't stop, all the rescued, go hand in hand, don't get separated, you children, follow me. "In fact, there is no need for Shuer to say, a few children dare not leave his side, this is not an ordinary black fog, but a necromancer's dark canopy, black and glowing with green light, emitting a ghostly atmosphere, it is easy for the little ones to think of the horror stories and urban legends they heard when they were children. Therefore, the children had already hugged each other and followed Shul tremblingly.

"Saf?"

"It's good that we shouldn't have been found. ”

"Good. Shul calculated the distance, "Mobuck, turn right around the corner in front and stop, everyone, enter the highest alert level as soon as you stop, Miriday, remember to remove the fog." ”

Following Shuer's instructions, the shadowchasers began to adjust their teams as they marched, occupying one side and protecting these ordinary people in the middle, and as soon as the team stopped, everyone took two steps forward at the same time, widening the protective circle, and at the same time adjusting their state and preparing to enter the battle at any time.

Fortunately, the black fog dissipated, nothing had changed, the cannon was still rumbling in the distance, and the wind was still calm in the distance, if it weren't for the equally frightened faces around them, the survivors would really have been nervous just now.

"It's time for this place to get out of their spotlight, rest in place and regain your mental state. Shuer frowned and looked up at the sky, the morning light was getting brighter and brighter, and the sky was about to dawn, once the day dawned, the darkness that protected him lost its effect, "Delia, how far is it to the outskirts of the city?"

"I'll see, there's probably more than a kilometer left, about ten minutes at most. Delia replied absentmindedly, hesitated for a while, and suddenly Larashur's sleeve made him bend down, and whispered, "Uncle, we really think of you as profiteers on the black market." ”

"Huh. Shuer smiled dumbly and rubbed the little girl's hair vigorously, "If you find something wrong, it's good not to say it, why do you deliberately cover it up like this?"

"Isn't that a clear indication that you have other plans in mind? The little girl blinked, and her smile was sly, "It's better to confess and have a good feeling." ”

"It's not a small amount of guts, little one, how can you see it?"

"The way you fight the mechanical beasts, the people on the black market aren't so good. Delia rolled her eyes, pulled Shuer into the corner and whispered, "Those rich people can't see it, because they don't know the strength of the black market, but we are different, since we are half of the allies of the black market, we know a little bit about the black market, what you can do, the number of people in the black market may not be able to do it." Then I thought about it carefully, uncle, you have never admitted that you are a member of the black market, but you have not denied our speculation, hey, uncle, you are very cunning. ”

"Well, I'll admit, we really have nothing to do with the black market. Those ordinary people couldn't hear the whispered conversation between the two, but the shadowchasers were different, Shul exchanged glances with his teammates, touched the little girl's head and said, "You confess so much, then give you a chance to choose, accept our employment, or leave us as soon as the danger is over, rest assured, we will not take back the credit." ”

"Huh?" the little girl blinked, the same offer as not long ago, but the little guy instinctively sensed the difference between the two, and after a moment of serious consideration, Delia looked up and asked, "What about the reward?"

"Huh? Shuer laughed angrily at her, "You are not satisfied if you say that the credit points are not recovered?"

"Of course, uncle, you said that no matter whether I accept it or not, the credit points will not be withdrawn, so if I accept the employment, there must be other benefits. The little girl rubbed her hands and her eyes lit up, hey, why is this action so familiar, well, it must have been seen by others, not because she often does it, "Uncle, what benefits are you going to use to tempt me?"

"What do you want? ”

"Gold, of course. The little one's eyes were shining with gold, and his saliva was about to flow, "If you don't have silver, you'll be fine." ”

"Tsk, nothing is as solid as gold in your hands. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

Shul glanced at Mobuck, and the dwarf dug into his pocket with understanding, and when he took it out, a gold coin was already crumpled into a ball, rolling in his palm.

"The purity is not too high, about 73 percent. Shul shook the ball of gold in front of Delia's eyes until her eyes were round, "Five, enough to hire you for a month." ”

"Not enough. With her eyes still on Shuer's hand, Delia subconsciously shook her head.

"Forget it. ”

"Alas, don't, uncle, deal. "Just kidding, I haven't been able to make so much money for years, how can I let it fly away from my eyes.

"Hmph, it's not honest, I'll talk about the specific things after it's safe in a while. Shul clapped his hands lightly and walked back into the crowd, "Recover, then let's go, and say as you go, I have a question now, who of you knows, what happened." Don't talk about mechanical invasion, I know it's mechanical invasion, I just want to know why this time is so serious. ”

No one answered, obviously everyone didn't know, and if you think about it carefully, those who know it may not be here: "Then to change the question, where did the endless stream of mechanical beasts come from in this mechanical invasion?"

"I know that. A young clerk from the military raised his hand and said, "When I finally received a communication from the headquarters, I heard that the enemy was invading from the underground energy pipeline, because the pipeline was very narrow, the mechanical beast never chose this way, so it ignored the reconnaissance, but I didn't expect that this time the Tower of Babel transformed the mechanical spiders, reducing their size so that they could just pass through the energy pipeline." ”

"Energy pipes. Shul asked thoughtfully, "The one with good sound insulation?"

"Well, otherwise it's too noisy, and you have to do a good job of soundproofing. "Young people are defenseless, and there is nothing to guard against in such a well-known matter.

"No wonder I can't hear a sound. Seeing the swordswoman's relieved expression, Shuer squeezed her eyes at her and continued, "What about the big one?"

"You mean the Heavy and the Sniper?HQ believes that the mechanical spider carried some extra parts inside its body and then found a hidden place to reassemble it. ”

"Assembled so much?"

"Well, the base of the mechanical beasts is too large, and there are at least three million people who have invaded this time, far more than the population of the city, and it is said that the Tower of Babel is likely to plan to wipe us out at once this time. ”

"It's not that easy. Shuer pursed his lips, pretending to be too similar, there was no flaw, "We humans are not without secret weapons. ”

"That is, especially the newly installed electromagnetic ......" The young civilian suddenly covered his mouth with a wary expression on his face.

"Electromagnetic pulse, it's not that I don't know. Shul paused for a moment, the time was so short that only familiar people could see that he seemed to be listening to something, "I was just surprised when the military installed the finished product on the center tower." ”

"Shhh The three soldiers looked terrified, "Don't talk about it, trader. ”

"Whew, what a fuss. Seeing the subtle expressions of the people in the other municipal agencies, Shul knew that these people would never suspect the identity of their mysterious black market traders in a short period of time, so he nodded secretly with satisfaction, and said seriously on the surface, "The launch time is so long, at least three days, what is there to keep secret." ”

"Two days...... Oops. The young man was kicked hard by his colleague and closed his mouth and did not dare to speak.

"Forget it, don't ask, lest you make a mistake. ”

I've already made a mistake, okay, young people want to cry without tears.

"I want to ...... Hmm, why is the wind so strong all of a sudden? An oncoming gust of wind almost blocked Shure's words, and after a few more steps, the shadowchasers could hardly hide the consternation on their faces, "This is it...... On the outskirts of the city. ”

After the last building, what appeared in front of everyone was an open space, and like the city, the ground was paved with strange stones, the difference was that the ground on the outskirts of the city was empty, only a flat ground, which stretched into the distance, and connected to the skyline, and the wind blew in the face, making it difficult to open people's eyes.

"It's finally safe. The survivors let out a cheer for the rest of their lives, and ran forward against the wind, as far away from the city behind them as possible, until they were too old to run in the strong wind, and then collapsed to the ground, unloading all their defenses.

Wait, there's something wrong.

The shadowchasers looked at each other as they ran towards the end of the city, and after a few minutes, everyone stopped, staring blankly at everything in front of them.

There was a deep ground under his feet, but there was an abyss in front of him, and the gale blew in front of him, and white clouds drifted below the city.

It is a city that floats above the white clouds.
