Extra: Wang Yang (middle)
Three years have passed since the end of the day, and everyone can not forget that terrible day, but they also have to admit that day brought endless hope and treasure to mankind, and people call that nightmare day the day of hope. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In just three years, the world has changed dramatically, there are more and more illusion awakeners, and they have great power to begin to be dissatisfied with some inherent resources, and begin to haunt the ruins, in order to survive, they have to compete with each other to plunder more resources in order to make their lives better. Huaxia is once again caught in the flames of war.
At the same time, a number of organizations composed of the Awakened began to slowly emerge, they were numerous and powerful, and quickly gathered groups of survivors, the most famous of which was the organization known as "Heavenly Illusion", they gathered a large number of followers and immediately established the first human new city-state, that is, the new city of Shanghai.
Not long after the establishment of the new city of Shanghai, eight other powerful organizations emerged, each of which circled a territory and announced the establishment of a new city-state: Tianjin, Beiping, Chongqing, Xi'an, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Harbin, and Nanjing. The eight new city-states are in the hands of eight powerful organizations: Berserk, General, Rose, Knight, Phantom, Juding, Zero, and Blue Eagle.
The population of the nine megacities grew larger and larger, and under the constraints of the control organization, they began to develop in an orderly manner. Production, trade, entertainment, food, clothing, housing and transportation are on the right track step by step, and the nine major organizations have sent out a part of the phantom awakeners as the order managers of the city-state to set up the city guards, and these nine forces are all composed of the illusion awakeners who are absolutely loyal to the organization.
A new order was established, and the giant city began to bloom with a unique sparkle in the hands of the techno-psychants, and survivors and psychic awakeners flocked to it.
After the exploration and communication of countless awakened people, the phantom energy has gradually formed a system, including some ordinary scientists have begun to study the formation and use of this energy, and even have preliminary results.
In the new illusion energy system, people who have just awakened are called messengers, and they can initially use some parts of their bodies to wrap their phantom energy into various forms to attack and fight, although they are powerful, but they have great limitations, such as Max, who died with Jiang Yitian at the beginning, belongs to the messengers who have just awakened.
Further, they are known as Phantoms, and the difference between these people and Emissaries is that they can fight from a distance that allows them to extend their illusion energy from themselves. Further up are the Phantom Master, the Phantom Sect, the Phantom Emperor, the Sage, and the Legendary Sage. At present, the leaders of the nine major city-states are said to be the strength of the Sages, and the leaders of Shanghai City are rumored to have even reached the realm of Legendary Sages. However, above the sages, it is said that there are still a group of strong people, they can call the wind and rain, cover the sky with one hand, as long as they think of it, it can evolve into reality, it is said that there are forty-nine such people in the world, but there are also rumors that it is fifty people, the specific information is unknown, no one has seen them, and even most of the sages are not clear.
In addition to phantom energy, the ancient martial arts of China have also begun to gradually exert their own light and heat, and the martial artists who have refined their bodies to the peak can even be on par with the powerhouses of the Phantom Emperor realm with their martial arts, such as Jiang Yitian at the beginning. Although the overall strength of the martial artist is still not as good as the illusion awakener, at least in terms of the quality of the master, it is not much weaker than the illusion person, so most of the people who cannot awaken the illusion energy choose to practice martial arts.
In addition to illusion energy and martial arts, science and technology have also taken a crucial step, creating the first batch of energy illusion armor, but due to the high production cost, it is currently only for those wealthy gentry or ordinary people around high-level illusion awakeners, and even some illusion awakeners who have spare money will choose a fantasy armor to wear on their bodies in case of emergency.
However, it is not possible to create a device that can communicate like the previous world, and all communication currently requires the Phantom Awakened to exchange through special paging abilities, or just word of mouth. There was once a sage who campaigned for this problem, gathered a group of science and technology-oriented illusion powerhouses and some outstanding scientists, and conducted a two-month discussion. But the result is helpless, no matter how hard you try, you can no longer achieve long-distance communication after trying countless methods, as if you are limited by some special force, and since that blow, few people have studied this area again.
In addition to human beings, another group of inhabitants on the earth has also undergone earth-shaking changes, compared to a small number of human illusion awakeners, almost half of the animals have been affected, and have evolved into phantom beasts with terrifying powers, among which the most powerful phantom beasts are even comparable to the lord of a city, no one dares to provoke them, but with the guardian of the giant city and the existence of the city lord, ordinary phantom beasts will not easily provoke humans.
Wang Yang only appeared after the establishment of the Nine Great City-States, and no one knew where he was or what he was doing in the past three years, as if he had disappeared out of thin air and then appeared out of thin air.
Nanjing City!
At the gate of the giant city, four soldiers of the elite city guards stared solemnly at a slowly walking figure in the distance: "Stop!
"The eldest brothers, my name is Wang Yang, and I am from Tongcheng, Jiangsu. Recently, I heard that there is a settlement here, and I came here to defect, and it is not easy to wander outside, but I still hope to find a stable place to stay. ”
Listening to Wang Yang's words, the soldiers of the city guard nodded quite approvingly, they also went on a mission, not only may they be attacked by some awakened people who are unwilling to accept control in the wild, but they will even provoke some phantom beasts if they are not careful, so almost every day is spent in fear.
"I see, dare to ask Your Excellency what realm of the Awakened One?"
"I don't know about this, but I think it's pretty powerful. Wang Yang scratched his head in embarrassment, the question of the city guards stopped him, three years of ignorance of the world, the changes in this world have really shocked him, not to mention the so-called realm division.
Seeing Wang Yang's actions, the city guard who led the way also let down some vigilance, patted Wang Yang's shoulder, and laughed twice: "It turned out to be a rookie, and you rookies will think that they are very powerful." Okay, you can go to the city lord's mansion to verify your ability when you enter the city after a while, and the corresponding strength can get different work arrangements, if you want to be really good, you can also consider joining the city guard, and the treatment is much better than the ordinary work inside. By the way, my name is Dashan, so look for me if you have anything in the future!"
Looking at the enthusiastic mountain, the corners of Wang Yang's mouth also outlined a curvature, when he first arrived in Nanjing City, he was thinking of finding someone to introduce himself, and Dashan's behavior was like a pillow just after dozing off.
"Then I don't know how to contact Big Brother Dashan in the future?"
The corners of Dashan's mouth also twitched: "Sure enough, it's a little white, if you want to find me, go to the city guard garrison in the west of the city, I'm usually there when there is no task, it's getting dark, go in, the city gate will be closed later." Oh, yes, I'll go to the city tavern at six o'clock in the evening, and I hope you won't disappoint me too much. ”
After saying goodbye to Dashan, Wang Yang cried and laughed and stepped into Nanjing City, and at this moment, a milky white energy instantly swept over Wang Yang's body, and it seemed that he didn't find anything wrong, just swept it and disappeared completely.
Seeing this scene, the mountain behind was completely relieved and slowly retreated.
"Phantom Recognition Array? Huh? It's not the same! I didn't expect humans to develop into such a situation, it's really amazing! Hey, if my sister was here, she would definitely be super excited, she usually likes to pour these strange things the most. ”
I don't know where you are, my sister, my parents, and my swallow, you must wait for me, I'm coming for you!
The architectural style of the new Nanjing City is exactly the same as before the Hope Day, and the designer seems to have only restored and expanded the original Nanjing City on the basis of the original.
The shops on both sides of the street sell all kinds of goods and products that people need, and all kinds of pedestrians on the street are in a hurry or leisurely. The sound of selling and laughter was endless, Wang Yang rubbed his head, if it weren't for those dreamlike scientific and technological products that reminded him all the time, he even had the illusion of returning to the past.
"Bell, bell. ”
However, when the bell rang, all the people put down their hands and listened quietly, and Wang Yang also stopped when he saw this. The bell rang only six times before it stopped, and the crowd exploded at this moment, and the otherwise harmonious street instantly filled the smell of desolation.
A girl snuggled tightly into the man's arms, as if crying: "Don't go, okay?"
"I promise you, I'll be back. The man hesitated, finally pushed the girl away, and strode towards the central square, but his originally resolute eyes were now filled with tears.
The man's back gradually disappeared into the vast sea of people, leaving the girl alone to sit on the ground in despair.
It's not just this man and woman, at this moment, exactly the same situation is happening in every corner of Nanjing City. Wang Yang was puzzled and grabbed an old man who was passing by: "Uncle, what is the purpose of this bell, why did it become like this?"
"Are you new here?" the old man looked at Wang Yang and asked rhetorically.
"Yes, I just entered the city, and this happened suddenly, and I was confused for a while, so I pulled your old man to ask. ”
"You Illusion Awakener?"
"Yes. Wang Yang replied.
Hearing Wang Yang's answer, the old man's eyes became strange: "Young man, it's really not the right time for you to come, this bell ringing six times means that there is a big crisis in Nanjing City, and all the awakened and martial artists must go to war." ”
The Great Crisis?
"What kind of crisis is it? Is there still such a mandatory requirement in this Nanjing City?" Hearing the old man's words, Wang Yang seemed a little angry, he thought that the order of this new Nanjing was good, and the people's lives were rich and harmonious, but he didn't expect that behind this was so unbearable.
"Beast tide! Absolutely terrible beast tide, black and oppressive. Although no one is going to force you to go to war. But everyone knows that once they lose the protection of Nanjing City, everyone will face life and death again, and some of the awakened and powerful warriors may be able to escape, but it is in this city that there are people they need to protect, and there are relatives who need them to throw their blood to fight. ”
This time, I don't know how many young and fresh lives are left, life is so helpless, in this last days, human life is even more worthless, even the old man who is used to seeing life and death can't help but sigh.
"Ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable. Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation. He looked at the girl in front of him who was still sitting on the ground and sobbing lowly. In this situation, Wang Yang couldn't help but think of this famous sentence of Mr. Su Dongpo expressing his thoughts about his deceased wife.
"Brother Wang Yang, it turns out that you are here, I have been looking for you for a long time, what are you muttering? Let's go! Come with me to the city guards to report! This drinking matter has to be postponed. Just when Wang Yang was sighing about life, the thunderous voice of the mountain suddenly exploded in Wang Yang's ears, and the desolate atmosphere that had been brewing for a long time seemed to have been diluted a lot.
Wang Yang covered his ears that were still buzzing, and complained helplessly: "I said big brother mountain, I just entered the city, you ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, do you want to go?"
"Lead the way. ”
"Haha, I really didn't misunderstand you, hurry up, go faster, maybe you can meet the commander of the Blue Eagle." Dashan got the answer he wanted, and was obviously more satisfied with Wang Yang's personality.
"Blue Eagle, it seems that Old Man Jiang is also a Blue Eagle person, I don't know if these two Blue Eagles are the same? Thinking of this, Wang Yang didn't stop any longer, and chased after him between a few verticals.
"Huh, I'm clumsy!" Dashan saw that Wang Yang had caught up with him so easily, and nodded at Wang Yang. But there is a little plan in my heart.
At the same time, all the awakened and warriors who came spontaneously have gathered in a huge square at this moment, the square is in the center of the new Nanjing City, and there is a huge round platform around the square, the round platform is engraved with incomprehensible symbol lines, every half an hour, the rune lines on the round platform will light up, and batch after batch of awakened and warriors will come down from the round platform, and join the crowd in a steady stream.
The crowd in the square became denser and denser, and when almost all the Awakened and Warriors arrived, there would be the organizers of the Blue Eagle to arrange these Awakened and assign their respective tasks.
Wang Yang, under the leadership of Dashan, directly bypassed the central square and went straight to the garrison of the guards in the west of the city.
The guards in the camp were different from ordinary awakened people, each team of guards condensed a breath of slaughter, they seemed to be sharp swords, and they were also like full giant bows, which would burst out with huge energy at any time.
The performance of these city guards made Wang Yang very recognized, and a sense of family and country arose spontaneously in his heart. At all times, soldiers are always the most respectable existence, they fight on the front line, they fight to the death for those who are defenseless behind them.
Dashan took Wang Yang straight past the camps of several city guards, until he reached a camp in the far corner, and then stopped.
This camp is much smaller than the previous ones, and the city guards here are not all Awakened, the soldiers are more of a ragtag army than the previous ones.
Seeing the appearance of the mountain, the city guards who were still busy put down what they were doing and gave an extremely standard military salute to the mountain.
"Company Commander!" "Hello Company Commander!" "Company Commander, you're back!"
"Lao Zhang, call the brothers to gather, wait for me for ten minutes, and this little brother and I will say something heart-wrenching. ”
"Yes!"
Seeing this situation, Wang Yang felt interesting, he didn't expect that this mountain was still the commander of a camp, and the city guards here seemed to respect the mountain very much, and this standard military salute also made Wang Yang look at it a few more times.
"Don't you think it's surprising? Actually, we are soldiers by nature. Before the Day of Hope, we were the logistics company of the Nanjing Military Region, and it may have been a good fate, or it was a bad fate, and we escaped the first wave of intensive bombing while we were on a simulated combat mission. But life after surviving was not easy, and the Phantom Beasts and the Awakened became our worst enemies. Due to the large number of people and the fact that many people have not awakened to become emissaries, it is difficult to completely hide the tracks, and every time it is discovered, it is an uphill battle. Two years! After two years on the run, half of our brothers died! Just when we all thought we couldn't hold on, Blue Eagle appeared, Blue Eagle do you know? This is the first time we have seen hope, and no matter how strong a man is, he can't help but secretly wipe two tears at that time. Later, at our strong request, the Blue Eagle men did not separate us and let us set up a city guard camp on our own. Dashan saw Wang Yang's incomprehension and doubts, so he told the original story one by one.
"Brother Wang Yang, I have a reluctant request!"
"Brother Dashan, your business is my business, what needs me to do, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it!" Wang Yang thought that he was not an impulsive person, but after listening to Dashan's story, he became more and more recognized by this loud man, maybe the other party's strength is not as good as his own, but just because he is a soldier, he is worthy of his admiration Wang Yang.
Dashan also didn't expect Wang Yang to agree so happily, so he simply opened the topic: "It's also a shame to say, I originally saw that you would have to face such a cruel beast tide when you entered the city, and I wanted you to follow me so that I could take care of it." It was on the way here that I realized that my brother's strength was not inferior to mine at all. You have also seen that our troops, not to mention that the overall strength is not as good as other camps, and there are even some ordinary people, hoping that when the beast tide breaks out, they can help me take care of this group of brothers. ”
"Of course, I won't force it, after all, the horror of the beast tide is not acceptable to anyone, if my brothers can't take care of my brothers, if there is danger, it is also the calamity that my brothers should have, and they will be freed as soon as possible." Dashan paused and continued.
The tide of beasts is coming.
The originally bustling and bustling city of Nanjing suddenly quieted down, and all the awakened people, warriors, and even city guards who rushed to the head of the city were shocked by the dense group of phantom beasts in the distance.
One after another, the endless army of phantom beasts like black clouds was like a thousand pounds of stone, and it was fiercely pressed on people's hearts. What kind of pride and ambition do you mention? What kind of enthusiasm do you talk about? At this moment, the city of Nanjing is like a light boat in the ocean, which will capsize under the violent black waves at any time.
Gradually, there was a commotion on the walls. Can it be held? Can it really be held? Despair spread rapidly through the crowd.
The army of black oppressive phantom beasts was getting closer and closer, and the people standing on the city wall could already clearly feel the earth trembling, and an invisible sense of oppression made people extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, Wang Yang and Dashan in the crowd also frowned tightly, such a large number of troops had far exceeded their expectations. This is a force that the defenders simply cannot resist.
"Brothers, be quiet, listen!"
Just when everyone felt that there was no hope, this loud voice seemed to be a streamer of light that pierced the darkness, and the eager eyes looked at the person who spoke up.
Wang Yang's gaze also turned to him, this was an extremely rugged-looking middle-aged man, wearing light blue illusion armor, floating on the city wall out of thin air.
The man glanced at the people on the city wall lightly, and suddenly said: "Brothers, I said that you are just a pile of mud that can't support the wall! Think about the original purpose of your coming here! You are here for only one reason! You are here to defend your hometown and relatives. You are men, but true men can be fearful, but they must not back down. Brothers, maybe today you feel fear of the strength of the incoming enemy, maybe our current situation is not very optimistic, but don't be afraid, look at your comrades-in-arms who are standing on the same front as you, they will also use their lives to protect your relatives in the rear. If you are a person with backbone, you should turn fear into strength and let passion resound in the sky! There is only one battle!"
"Fight! Fight!"
"Now, brethren, it's time to get down to business. Put on your phantom armor, pick up your guys, and pay attention. The fowls to be slaughtered down below are howling, so get ready for battle!"
The pre-war mobilization of the rugged man was not outstanding, but it really spoke to everyone's hearts. The high momentum was unprecedentedly condensed at this moment, and everyone temporarily let go of other thoughts in their hearts.
Looking at the approaching beast tide, the blood was hot like never before.
"Fire!"
Boom, hundreds of huge illusion cannons on the city walls shone with blinding light at the same time. Cannonballs wrapped in phantom energy fell in the herd of phantom beasts. Each cannonball will clear a large area of open space like a vacuum, but the number of phantom beasts is too much, no matter how many cannonballs fall, there will always be a steady stream of phantom beasts to make up for it.
There is nothing but fire and smoke in the sky, and nothing but fear and death outside the walls. Xu Tianhua held the knife tightly, as if he was holding a life-saving straw. The rumbling cannon continued, and many awakened and warriors leaped out of his side, spilling blood on the battlefield with a fierce roar of energy and screams.
Xu Tianhua wiped his forehead, and his hands kept shaking because of the cold sweat that was shedding for fear. He wanted to light a cigarette to steady himself, but he couldn't touch the cigarette butt, and his extreme fear seemed to squeeze all the vitality out of his body! Just as he sat down on the ground against the wall in despair, another wave of awakened people rushed out. The smoke and dust of the artillery fire, accompanied by the smell of blood, irritated Xu Tianhua's nasal cavity.
He couldn't take it anymore, he staggered to his feet, and he began to curse his cowardice and incompetence. Raising the war knife in his hand, he clumsily jumped off the city wall, staggered up again, and slashed at the phantom beast closest to him.
However, this knife did not directly kill this giant beast, but stimulated its most primitive ferocity, and a pair of red beast eyes looked at the weak human who injured it. Xu Tianhua suddenly seemed to be crazy, desperately slashing out one after another. However, it didn't take long for a sharp tentacle to shoot out, piercing his chest in an instant.
He collapsed to the blood-soaked ground, his fingers clenched into fists as if they were trying to grasp the lost life......
He can finally sleep and rest in peace. The roar of cannonballs was followed by an overwhelming cannonball, and dirt and stumps flew in the air. Screams and roars were incessant.
To the beholder's eye, the world is reduced to only two colors: the gray-black that is splashing everywhere and the dazzling red that is mixed in.
The killing continues. The blood-colored battlefield was littered with the stumps and bones of humans and phantom beasts, and the air was filled with the smell of blood, and the entire city of Nanjing was trembling. One by one, the lives of them came to naught. Limbs are torn apart, torsos are shattered. At this moment of blood, it is no longer possible to distinguish what a weapon is. Blood-red hands, sharp phantom beast teeth, can't wait to tear everything in front of them.
This is the most arduous and fierce battle since the Day of Hope, and where is this war? This is just the time when the lives of the front-line soldiers are exchanged for a meticulous life in the rear.
In the evening, when I looked at it from afar, it was long clear whether it was the setting sun or the blood that stained the earth, and the soil had already turned reddish-brown, and the blood could not coagulate. The haze in the sky could not be dispersed, the roars and shouts gradually became weak, but the sound of the cannons disappeared early, and the originally powerful cannonballs had already been replaced by bows and arrows, but even with bows and arrows, countless rounds of strength had already brought them to the point of exhaustion.
Looking at the tide of beasts still swept in the distance, people fell into despair again.
"What about the Blue Eagle? We are going to be unable to hold on! Why hasn't the Blue Eagle shown up yet?" At this last moment, someone finally thought of the question. Everyone knew that Nanjing City was the territory of the Blue Eagle, but even if the battle was so far, except for the middle-aged man who stood up to mobilize everyone at the beginning, no one saw the Blue Eagle's people join the battle, let alone the Sage.
He asked the question that almost everyone wanted to ask, and the commotion appeared again, and the defense line that was still struggling to support was instantly broken through by the phantom beasts, and several fierce phantom beasts suddenly passed over everyone and pounced on the city. Screams rang out, and some of the archers who didn't have time to dodge exploded under the brutal attack of the phantom beasts.
These few phantom beasts, under the joint efforts of many awakened people, finally fell, but more and more phantom beasts rushed to the city. The Awakened were also dispersed and began to fight on their own, unable to form effective defense and combat effectiveness at all, and the battle situation began to have a one-sided tendency.
The city of Nanjing is about to be lost!
At this moment, such an idea sprouted in the hearts of almost everyone.
In a corner under the city wall, Wang Yang and Dashan once again joined forces to kill a leopard-shaped phantom beast. Before this phantom beast mutated, it was just an ordinary leopard locked up in the zoo, but at this moment, it caused great trouble to the two of them. Not only has it increased in speed and size by more than one notch, but it can even spit out a fiery phantom attack.
"Brother Wang Yang, if you really can't do it, you can withdraw first, without support, we won't be able to hold it for long, brothers are already enough to drag you down. ”
"Brother Dashan, where do you think the Blue Eagle has gone?" Wang Yang listened to Dashan's speech, but he thought of another possibility in his heart.
"This ...... I don't know. Dashan shook his head honestly.
Wang Yang smiled and patted Dashan on the shoulder: "No one has to withdraw, hold on for a while, maybe things will take a turn for the better, I have also heard of the name of Blue Eagle loyalty, I should not disregard the lives of the whole city, presumably it was dragged down by something." ”
Dashan, who was originally a little hesitant, heard Wang Yang say this, and his languishing and gloomy eyes suddenly burst out with a light called hope, no one is more willing to believe in Blue Eagle than them, after all, it was Blue Eagle who gave them a second life.
Thinking of this, Dashan's fighting spirit was full of strength again, he was a little stronger, but this didn't mean that he didn't have brains. He just didn't think of this possibility before, but since Wang Yang mentioned it, how could he not understand: "Brothers, hold on for a while, and the people of Blue Eagle will come back soon!"
It seemed that after hearing this loud roar of the mountain, the flame of hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts, and the collapsed battle line slowly coalesced again.
Both Dashan and Wang Yang understand that the more they are in this desperate situation, any glimmer of hope will arouse unlimited potential. Although it is still unknown whether Blue Eagle will be able to catch it back, and the two of them are only guessing at the moment, who cares? At this time, this sentence alone is enough!
