Chapter 144: Reappearance of the Blood Moon
Two rows of torches lit directly outside the base gate, like a long road connecting darkness and light, and the light from the torches swayed in the breeze, creating shadows like ancient demons trying to devour people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, at the beginning, Qin Ji didn't approve of such a move, but because the others were not him, they needed light, torches to identify the number of mutant beasts, and torches to illuminate this dark world.
It may attract more mutant beasts because of this, but it is far more reassuring than complete darkness, and the human pursuit of light comes from instinct, and also from some kind of inheritance that runs through the blood.
In the end, Qin Ji still compromised, because although this method was a helpless move, it was also indispensable, and he couldn't even see where the mutant beast was, so how could he fight? The target slammed into it, and it was not even clear the direction in which it pounced, and the endless darkness coupled with the ubiquitous danger would drive people crazy alive.
Qin Ji and Wen Qianluo and their party were standing on the watchtower at the gate of the base and looking down, except for the torches they lit themselves, there was endless darkness in the distance, no one knew what was hidden in the darkness, but everyone tensed their nerves.
"Blood moons usually come out in the middle of the night, right?
Wen Qianluo picked up Qin Ji's face, looked at the bloodshot in Qin Ji's eyes with a little distress, and then unconsciously began to worry.
"It's okay, Duan Xingyi will arrange it, they have a shift change system, it's still early, otherwise you can rest in there first." ”
Qin Ji pointed to a small room on the guard tower, in which Duan Xingyi's people were all staying below, so it was just right for Wen Qianluo to rest.
"No, this law is also inaccurate, we have only seen it twice, what if the time of the blood moon does not play according to the routine? I will accompany you here, and I will not go anywhere. ”
When Wen Qianluo heard Qin Ji say this, he strengthened his idea of acting with Qin Ji, and even completely stuck to Qin Ji's side.
Qin Ji knew what Wen Qianluo was afraid of, so he didn't persuade her again, but just let her stand by his side.
"If you want to rest, go in. ”
It was still a little chilly on the guard tower at night, and Qin Ji saw Jiang Kai rubbing his arm incessantly, so he approved him to rest, after all, the wait before the arrival of the mutant beast was still very boring.
"Hey, hey, good. ”
Jiang Kai rubbed his hands, pulled a smile on his frozen face with difficulty, and then shook a yellow-haired fart into the place where the watchtower rested.
Xu Qiantong glanced at the small sentry tower rest house, and finally decided to continue to stand outside and wait, Wei Xu still followed Xu Qiantong as always, although everyone never teased Xu Qiantong about this matter, but they all knew it.
Hong Wenxiu hesitated for a moment, and finally walked into the rest house with a yawn, he hadn't slept well in the past few days, so it was better to take a rest so as not to delay his legs.
Qin Ji looked at his watch and turned it five times after nightfall, knowing that midnight was coming soon, he asked Wei Xu to wake up Hong Wenxiu and Jiang Kai, while he kept looking at the dark sky and blinked for a long time.
Although Wen Qianluo herself had seen the blood moon, she only noticed it when the blood moon rose and the red light hit her, and she didn't know how the blood moon appeared and where it rose.
Now seeing Qin Ji staring at the sky in the distance, his eyes barely blinking, Wen Qianluo was also a little curious about how such a spectacle appeared in this world.
The blood moon did not appear out of thin air in one place as Wen Qianluo thought, but first appeared in the central part, and then supplemented itself little by little, and finally became a large and round red moon.
But I don't know if it's her delusion, but I always feel that when the blood moon is fully revealed, the sky seems to be darkened for a moment, if I really want to use a metaphor, it is like an eye blinking violently when it is impacted.
However, when Wen Qianluo looked over again, he didn't notice this phenomenon, the blood moon hung in the sky normally, it seemed that it could be seen from any direction, and its red light could also shine in every corner.
This time, there was no need for Qin Ji to remind him, everyone knew that it was time to act, because he didn't know which direction the mutant beast would come from, so Qin Ji's perception almost enveloped the entire base, and at the same time, Jiang Kai was also at full power, listening with his ears pricked up to hear which direction was wrong.
In a sense, Jiang Kai's skills were much more useful than his abilities at this time, and his perception range was really limited in such a huge war.
But Jiang Kai's ability is different, he only needs to perceive the sound, and the range of sound can be very wide, and even as long as there is a little wind and grass in any direction, it can reach Jiang Kai's ears, so it is most suitable to use Jiang Kai as an early warning.
Although in the past, everyone thought that this skill was very weak, but now they are extremely glad to have such an ability in their team, and the battle prepared in advance and the passive battle are two completely different scenes.
No one in the base dared to speak loudly anymore, and for a while, he could only hear the 'crackling' sound of burning torches, Qin Ji quietly waited for Jiang Kai to show him the direction in which the mutant beast appeared, and his perception was always ready to lock on a certain direction.
Suddenly, a familiar tremor swept through every corner of the base, not even someone who stayed in the remote control situation below the base was not spared, and the lamps on the ceiling were even in danger of falling.
Mutant beast, here!
"In which direction do they appear?"
Qin Ji patted Jiang Kai on the shoulder, at this time, they couldn't wait any longer, the mutant beasts could reach this place at any time, they had to hurry out of the base and lure away as many mutant beasts as possible before the arrival of the mutant beast army.
"Just in front of us. ”
Jiang Kai listened carefully again patiently, and then pointed to the road paved with torches. He kept rubbing his hands, not knowing whether he was cold or frightened.
"Okay, we're ready to go, and finally I'll ask again, who doesn't want to go?"
Qin Ji didn't want to bring a reluctant teammate, and it was impossible for him to worry about whether the teammate behind him could be entrusted when he killed the mutant beast, so he asked again before leaving.
There was silence in the team for three seconds, Qin Ji's gaze crossed everyone's faces, and he paused for a moment when he saw Jiang Kai, he knew Jiang Kai's character, so if Jiang Kai was unwilling to act with them, he would not force Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai's gaze wandered away for a moment, but in the end, he didn't know what he thought, and the hesitation in his eyes disappeared in an instant. (To be continued.) )
