Chapter 394: Five Artifacts (4500 Words for a Monthly Pass!) )
District 6.
Yellow sand fills the sky.
The ruins and broken walls are buried in the yellow, orange and orange sand, and the weathered building surface is mottled, telling the world the ruthlessness and vicissitudes of time.
Time is not only a pig-killing knife, but also an excellent demolition worker, demolishing the former prosperity of the city.
On the endless sand plain, the undulating sand dunes are in the hazy wind and sand, like women of different types lying on their backs on the sand, which makes people think about it.
A 400-meter-high iron tower, standing proudly at the end of the desert, looming, I don't know if it is a mirage, or this famous iron tower has really withstood the destruction of time and stands to this day.
Straight railroad tracks run parallel to the highway in the desert.
Even with clouds of dust obscuring most of the scorching sun, the desert was still horribly hot, and the distant scene was distorted by the heat.
"Woo-woo-"
The whistle of the train named Orange Cat is like the bell of restarting human civilization, resounding in this lonely land where no sound can be heard except for the wind.
High in the sky, above the dust cloud, winged and hideous "demons" hovered in the dust cloud.
"Report! Three o'clock in the direction ahead, in the sky, we found a flying distortion 'demon' infested, about three kilometers away from us! ”
The believer in charge of the lookout quickly spread the news to the Orange Cat through the car's in-car broadcast system.
Mia cut her short hair, wrapped a scarf around the sand and dust, and used the binoculars to confirm the distance and location of the "demon" again, she silently prepared the rifle and whispered on the walkie-talkie.
"The second combat group is ready to attack."
"Five of them."
"From left to right, there are Goal 1, Goal 2, Goal 3, Goal 4, and Goal 5."
"Watch their tracks."
The arranged combat group, lying on the edge of the window in silence and order, set up the barrels of their guns.
"The 'freeze bomb' is loaded."
Click.
Everyone coincidentally took out a seemingly ordinary bullet from the magazine on their waists and loaded it into the chamber.
It seems to be an ordinary bullet, but it is a special "magic bullet" made by their great humanoid boss, who claims to be the "god of correction".
They had seen the power of this "magic bullet" with their own eyes, but now they were convinced of the power of the "freezing bullet", and when they loaded the freezing bullet, their faces seemed to write the word "invincible" for their boss.
"Fali, Torre, Augustus, Han, and Kikuko, you shoot at No. 1 to No. 5 respectively, and I am responsible for the aftermath."
Mia said in a deep voice, pressing her eyes to the mechanical sight and pulling the bolt.
"The target is about to go into range."
"Into range."
"Ready."
"Shoot!"
Bang!
The five named men fired at the same time, and only one gunshot rang out from the desert.
"Shit."
"Leaked."
Two voices of chagrin came from the channel.
The two brothers shot crooked.
The three demons were hit by the freezing bullet, and their flying bodies instantly froze and fell from a high altitude. The remaining two, after a moment of stunnedness, swooped down at high speed, heading for the speeding train.
Mia, who had already been prepared, quickly filled the gap and fired a shot.
Bang!
The nearest demon snapped in the middle of his eyebrow.
Mia pursed her lips tightly, flicked her wrist, pushed the bullet in, and with a quick pull, she pushed the bullet into the chamber with the help of force.
As we all know, the rifle varies from person to person because the rate of fire is too slow and whether it is good or not. And Mia reloaded, loaded, pulled the bolt, aimed, a set of actions went smoothly, it can be seen that Mia has practiced hard in order to use this gun well.
Bang!
The second demon that slipped through the net froze and landed on the desert.
"Whew!"
A crisis has finally been resolved.
After whispering orders for the others to remain on guard, she sneaked into the back compartment. I saw the boss and Shirley sitting in the center of the carriage, with a book in front of them that they had searched from a previous resource point.
There are a few pages left in the book of a strange game called "Sudoku", and the boss is playing with Shirley with relish.
Shirley frowned, holding a charcoal pen in jerky motions, scribbling on the paper.
Yue Linglong hugged a cat, smiling, and quietly looked out the window at the yellow sand.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the boss's office was not disturbed, Mia let out a long sigh of relief. A few aberrant creatures are not a crisis for the Orange Cat's combat effectiveness, but what can really be called a crisis is whether the peace of the boss and his wife will be disturbed, which is what Mia is worried about.
Through the crack in the door, Mia saw her sister Shirley sitting on Zheng Xiu's lap, the girl was coquettish and cute, and the man was calm and kind, this scene was like a father and daughter, which made Mia's eyes can't help but show envy and admiration.
After a few moments, Mia's gaze regained her composure, she pulled up her scarf to cover the slowly rising corners of her mouth, and turned to leave. Well, deep hidden merit and fame.
The peace of the boss is guarded by my own hands, Mia.
……
Finally completed two pages of Sudoku.
Zheng Xiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
A puzzle game where you can see the answer at a glance is too difficult to pretend to be meditating.
It's been a month since they sailed out of the valley.
In the valley, the experience of facing rat tides and running drug circles is still vivid in my mind.
No one can forget the shock and horror of the terrible rat tide.
Zheng Xiu slashed the dam with a sword, and the surging flood flooded the valley, which was able to stop the rat tide.
They didn't stay for a month, all the way to the north, and gradually opened a certain distance from the rat tide behind them.
At the very least, Shirley is not able to hear the so-called "voice of evolution" now.
"The contraction of the poison circle and the reproduction of the rat tide are carried out in a certain chronological sequence."
Lady Anne explained with her experience: "If I were Him, I would definitely not have done it myself, set up the 'program' in advance, and let the 'program' turn on its own. ”
Anne's words make a lot of sense.
It's just that Zheng Xiu vaguely feels that Annie's "program poison circle theory" cannot explain the "eyes" and "emotions" that Zheng Xiu felt as if he was talking face-to-face with a pseudo-god when he faced the rat tide at close range.
Quite a few things happened after leaving the valley.
After escaping the threat of rat tides, Keisan fished for supplies in the river water in the Bund for several days.
Finally got most of the supplies together.
is worthy of being a "ferryman", and it is no problem to carve a boat and ask for a sword.
They passed by a marauder camp on the way.
A train drove in, undoubtedly eye-catching, and the marauders did not hesitate to attack the train.
Zheng Xiu also acted as a shopkeeper this time.
said that he was the shopkeeper, but Zheng Xiu didn't completely shake it off. He injected the power of "freezing" into the bullet in advance, and improvised a "magic bullet" that was a "miracle" in the eyes of believers and equivalent to a "toy" in the eyes of the gods.
With the blessing of the "Freezing Bomb", Mia and other ordinary people, like children with artifacts in their hands, shot a child, and even a humanoid leader in the marauder camp, carelessly did not flash, and died under the "Freezing Bullet" with hatred.
Zheng Xiu pulled out a worn-out leather notebook.
Zheng Xiu recorded a lot of humanoid abilities that he had encountered on it.
He speculated that the source of the ability of the "humanoid" was because of the broken "reason" in this world ship.
Then, understanding the abilities of humanoids, as well as the artifact of the "Chosen One", may allow Zheng Xiu to better understand this world, as well as the deep logic and ultimate purpose of a certain old god hidden behind this battle royale.
In addition to "turning the connection of coins into arc cannons";
"Turn a trench coat into a holster suit";
In addition to "turning hair into a drill",
Zheng Xiu also met seven humanoids this month, and their abilities were novel, which opened Zheng Xiu's eyes and made him addicted.
"Turn towels into iron";
"Turn BB bombs into magma";
"Turn the person who touches the palm of your hand into a lolicon";
"Turn your eyes into yo-yos";
"Turn a well-shaped ring into a hula hoop that can be changed at will";
"Turn all the cakes into bombs" (eventually dying tragically because you can't find the cake in the end times);
"Turn cards into circular saws".
Encountering these strange abilities, Zheng Xiu was very sure that the "reason" of this world had collapsed and shattered to pieces.
"Uncle!"
Shirley, who finished Sudoku, had nothing to do on Zheng Xiu's lap, staring at the endless desert outside the window, and suddenly her eyes lit up and pointed out: "Uncle, Shirley wants to go ice skating!" ”
Yue Linglong, who was pondering on the side, heard this, her delicate chin did not hold it, she staggered, and turned her head to look at Shirley with a look of crying and laughing.
Ice skating on the desert?
You can figure it out.
"Okay."
Zheng Xiu jumped out of the train with Shirley in his arms, pressed his palm on the desert, and in an instant, with Zheng Xiu as the starting point, ten kilometers ahead, was frozen into a straight skating track.
Although the desert is dry, there is still a very small amount of water vapor left in the air. Zheng Xiu didn't dare to say that he could freeze the entire desert with this very small amount of water vapor, but it was not a problem to freeze a road for skating.
Woowoo woo –
The train drove hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, leaving Zheng Xiu and Shirley behind.
Yue Linglong poked her head out of the window, looked at the older and the younger, and said in her heart, "You just spoil her", smiled helplessly, and sighed in the wind: "Husband, don't be too far away from the train." ”
"Got it, catch up right away."
Zheng Xiu waved his hand at Yue Linglong.
Shirley excitedly took off her shoes and threw them behind her.
"Don't throw your shoes away! What kind of system does it become! ”
Zheng Xiu pretended to be angry, caught Shirley's shoes, and shouted in a low voice.
"Shirley knows it's wrong, uncle."
Shirley stuck out her tongue to show that she was wrong.
"Uncle, shall we have a good game?"
"Okay."
"That'...... Shirley won an uncle's reward! ”
"Reward?"
"If Shirley wins, Uncle Can't sleep with Aunt Yue'er tonight, so he has to sleep with Shirley."
"Uh...... Do you want to ask your Aunt Yue'er if she is willing first? ”
"Hee-hee! Shirley didn't ask, uncle agreed! ”
Shirley grimaced at Zheng Xiu.
The next second, she closed her eyes, and the bulging veins near her eyes pulsed rhythmically. Her feet squirmed with blood, flashing red, and Shirley's feet grew "pulleys", which looked like a pair of "flesh roller skates".
"Artifact Electro!"
Sou!
Shirley had roller skates growing on her feet, sprinting forward along the slide, dragging out a heavy afterimage behind her, catching up with the train in the blink of an eye, happily following the train, her face flushed and excitedly shouted to Yue Linglong: "Aunt Yue'er!" Look at Shirley! Shirley runs faster than the train! ”
"Shirley is so good!"
Yue Linglong applauded cooperatively, looking at Shirley, who was still at ease chasing the train, a hint of melancholy flashed on her smiling and quiet face.
"Ten artifacts."
Zheng Xiu walked unhurriedly, one step at a time, his figure flickered strangely, and his seemingly slow pace was able to follow closely behind Shirley.
Zheng Xiu grabbed the black leather notebook as he walked, biting the tip of the pen, looking at Shirley's lightning-like figure and pondering.
In addition to recording the abilities of the "humanoids", his small book also recorded the "ten artifacts" of the "Chosen One".
Those who possess "artifacts" call themselves "the chosen ones of God", referred to as "God's Chosen One", and belong to the upper class of humans.
Among the humanoids Zheng Xiu met this month, two of them were "Chosen One".
They each unlocked two of the ten artifacts.
"Iron cannon", "majestic".
The "Iron Cannon" is an "artifact" that turns the palm of the hand into a cannon barrel, and can release shells that are slightly more powerful than the thermal weapons of the old civilization in individual combat.
"Mighty" means that the flesh and blood of the forearm will become a shield, which has a lot of defense.
"The long-range output artifact 'Iron Cannon', the defensive artifact 'Mighty', the slashing artifact 'Quick Knife', the speed-type artifact 'Electrolight', and the capture artifact 'Traveler'......"
Zheng Xiu's small notebook recorded five kinds of artifacts.
That's half the story.
Shirley's talent is very high.
She only met it once, and it didn't take long for her to learn the "Iron Cannon", "Mighty", and "Electric Light", plus the first unlocked "Quick Knife", and now Shirley has learned four kinds of artifacts.
Coupled with the BUG-level causal law ability of "turning ideals into reality" that she hides in her body and is not even clear to herself.
Zheng Xiu reasonably suspects that if there are "various systems" of Lord Anne in this world, Shirley is the "protagonist" or "saint" in this apocalyptic world.
That's why Zheng Xiu placed Shirley by his side and raised her like a niece. The first is to observe Shirley's growth, and the second is to properly guide Shirley's emotions and thoughts, and the BUG-level ability of "turning ideals into reality" will cause big trouble.
After a month of getting along, Zheng Xiu gradually figured out the law of "turning ideals into reality". The "ideal" in this ability must be the "ideal" recognized by Shirley from the heart, or "desire" and "wish" in order to be realized. If something Shirley is unhappy about, or doesn't like, and she insists on letting Shirley do it, the final result is likely to backfire.
"Yay!"
Ten kilometers is a short distance in the footsteps of a god and a superhuman.
Shirley is even much faster than a train.
She was the first to rush to the finish line, raising her arms and shouting, "Uncle Shirley tonight!" ”
"Huh?"
In the carriage, Yue Linglong heard this sentence and became vigilant.
The train is getting closer and closer to the tower.
It turns out that this "iron tower", which was once a splendid cultural symbol of the old civilization, is not a mirage, but a real building standing on the desert.
Bang!
In the middle of the 400-meter-high tower, on the observation deck on the first floor, a gunshot rang out without warning.
The bullet spanned a terrifying distance of nearly a thousand meters, and the ultra-long-range sniper shot at Zheng Xiu's head like a cannonball.
on the Eiffel Tower.
Behind the heavy sniper rifle that had been set up in advance, a young man with a delicate face looked up in astonishment.
"Report to the boss, there is a train coming in the distance, it may be the train gang that has been rumored by the outside world recently!"
"What? Is the Train Gang here? ”
"Yes, there's a muscular guy skating in the desert...... Suspected to be humanoid. ”
"Quick! Don't let the humanoids get close! ”
"I shot, shot, shot him in the head."
"! Well done! ”
The young man pressed his eyes back on the infrared sight and said on the walkie-talkie with some uncertainty:
"But...... His head shook slightly,"
"Looks like he blocked the ...... with his head"
"Fart! You're a special-purpose heavy sniper rifle! Even a military tank has to shake twice! A humanoid can be tougher than a military tank when defenseless??? ”
Goo-dong.
The young man wanted to say that the muscular man looked quite hard.
But he didn't have time to say this sentence yet.
In the sight, the muscular man who was shot in the head touched his head, raised his head in the direction he was, and grinned.
In an instant, the young man's palms were covered with sweat.
