Volume 1 Desert Symbols Chapter 3 Invasion
Obviously, at the meeting, Liancheng rejected Xue Shan's proposal to go overseas to search.
In the conference room, Liancheng said categorically that there are barges everywhere outside, and going out and walking around is tantamount to killing yourself. Not to mention that outside the city, there can be no living creatures at all.
But Xue Shanhai felt that even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 probability, he would have to try to search.
"Mr. Xue, we are actually already working hard to repair the barrier equipment, and when the city's protective barrier is repaired, those barges will naturally be expelled, and we can move around the city, and it will be more secure to use the city's travel equipment to go outside the city when the time comes." The one who spoke was the smaller of the six people, named Gu He, and among the six people, he looked the most stable.
"But we've been working on the barrier repair for more than a year, and there is still no effective way to do it. I don't think there's anything wrong with Mr. Xue's proposal to go out and search, and before that, Yimu hadn't also gone out many times. The short-haired woman who has been analyzing data in front of the computer said, she is a data analyst in the tower, number AE3, real name is Shahara E, and she has been hiding in the tower since the fall of the city, and later formed a search team with Liancheng Yimu Hui.
"I also agree with Mr. Xue's proposal." The glasses man sitting next to Liancheng silently raised his hand, but after glancing at Liancheng, he put his hand down with some embarrassment, the glasses man is called Nanke, he is a paleontological research enthusiast, he has been addicted to research when the city fell, and he didn't go out for a month, until he realized that something was wrong outside and fled into the tower with Liancheng.
The remaining three remained silent, seemingly unprepared to participate in the discussion of the issue.
"Shanhai, this time I am in favor of Liancheng, because the situation outside is indeed too uncertain." Yimu looked at Xue Shanhai, although she knew what Xue Shanhai was thinking, but her life was at stake, she couldn't let him mess around.
"Mr. Xue, Yimu has already told me yesterday, I can understand the feeling that you want to find a companion, but this matter is not just your business, if you insist on going out, then I will not stop you, but if you are in danger, we will not help you." Lian Cheng looked at Xue Shanhai with a piercing gaze, as if he was about to stare him out of a hole at any time.
"If there is no other report, then the meeting will be dismissed today, and Nanke and Shahara will leave me with something to explain to you."
Leaving the conference room, Xue Shanhai remained silent, not because of Liancheng's refusal, but because he thought of another thing, since he couldn't go out of the city, maybe he could use the ability of the 'Dream Flower' to reverse the space to teleport him to the time period of Zhou Qimu and the black cat, and then go to find out in person, whether Qiao Shu is Zhou Qimu or not, you can know at a glance.
"Shanhai, we can take our time when we get out of the city, and we are not in a hurry for these few days." Yimu saw that Xue Shanhai had been silent, so he tried to explain what had just happened.
"Yimu, since the Flower of Dreams can reverse space and time, we can use the 'Flower of Dreams' to go back to the past of this city, to the time period of Zhou Qimu's life." Xue Shanhai looked at Yimu with a serious face.
"Actually, we haven't been able to fully control the Dream Flower until now. Unleash the power of the 'Dream Flower' at will, and if you are not careful, you will be swallowed by it and lost in time and space. Emu said. The reason why we can use it for protection now is because the system data in this tower has been specially processed, and it can inhibit the growth of Dream Flowers, and only the growth of the suppressed Dream Flowers can be used as a weapon against the 'barge' outside. ”
"Anyway, you're in the tower these days before the barrier is repaired, and it's well equipped, so you need to get acquainted with life here." Yimu said, then took out a chip from his pocket and handed it to Xue Shanhai, "This is the key to the detection system, if you have the information you want to query, you can use this directly to open the system." After all, in this world, your identity is also an executive. ”
After taking the chip, Xue Shanhai didn't say a word, He Yimu looked at him and smiled, then turned around and left.
Xue Shanhai put the chip in his pocket and returned to the room.
He thought that he could only stay in this place during this time and couldn't do anything, but before the afternoon, he heard an alarm from the entire tower, and the shield of the Dream Flower that had been protecting the tower was lifted by someone, and Barge, who had been squatting outside and waiting for an opportunity, entered the tower at this time.
Then Liancheng ordered Shahara to immediately close all the exits from the first to the third floor, and Liancheng took the other two brothers who were not so good at it to the first floor to eliminate the invading barges.
Just when Xue Shanhai hurried to the staircase, he happened to meet Liancheng who was about to go downstairs with someone.
"Take me along, maybe you can help." Xue Shanhai looked at Liancheng and said.
When Liancheng saw Xue Shanhai, his expression was a little hesitant, but he still agreed: "Protect yourself, don't be refutated." ”
After that, he and the other two people hurriedly entered the elevator, and Xue Shanhai also followed into the elevator, and in the elevator, Liancheng gave the two bracelets to the two brothers beside him, and then looked at Xue Shanhai again, and then took off his bracelet and threw it to him, saying: "This bracelet carries the flower of dreams in it, and when you see the barge after you go out, you only need to use it to pierce the body of the barge." ”
"What about you?" Xue Shanhai looked at Liancheng, "What should you do without a bracelet?" ”
"I have this." As he spoke, Liancheng pulled out a dagger from his waist, "I'll be the bait, and the three of you will find the right time to hit the key point." ”
Just like that, the four of them came to the first floor, the hall was empty, there seemed to be nothing, and the surroundings were unusually quiet, Xue Shanhai looked around at everything, and the other two people also moved forward cautiously.
The tower's protective system has been repaired, and the outer barges can no longer enter, and there are about fifteen barges left in the tower, which is not a small number.
"These things are quite flexible, be careful." Liancheng said when he passed by Xue Shanhai's side.
Then he ran directly to the front exhibition hall, but Xue Shanhai suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from a half-open door behind him.
Xue Shanhai opened the button on the bracelet, and a light dagger as long as a short knife stretched out from the bracelet, and the blue dagger flashed with the symbol of the dream flower.
"This dagger is really good." Xue Shanhai muttered to himself, and then Xiao Yiyi walked towards the door.
He slowly pushed open the door, it was pitch black inside, he tentatively wanted to turn on the light, but he felt a cool wind blowing around him, he shivered, but heard a companion shouting behind him.
"It's here, come on!"
Xue Shanhai left the room when he heard the sound and ran in the direction of his companions, only to see a huge black monster with a silhouette like a monkey lying on the ceiling, showing long fangs, and staring at them with red eyes.
If you look closely, there are five of them crawling in different positions on the ceiling!
"Be careful!" There was another exclamation behind him.
Then Xue Shanhai only felt that his back was hit hard, and he was directly pushed to the stone steps next to him, shaking his stunned head, only then did he know that one of the barges had launched an attack on him just now.
I saw that the guy rushed towards him with lightning speed, and before Xue Shanhai could come back to his senses, he saw that Liancheng had quickly jumped onto Jie's back and stabbed into Jie's body with a dagger.
"What's the fuss, stab quickly." Liancheng shouted at Xue Shanhai.
I saw that after the dagger pierced the monster's body, the monster turned into a black boulder in the wail, it turned out that this was a barge, which was exactly the same as the boulder he saw in the spaceship, and there was indeed a barge in the spaceship that day.
Without having time to think too much, three more rushed from different directions, Liancheng used as a bait to attract two of them, and the other two stabbed daggers into the body of the barge, and the two giant beasts turned into two boulders in an instant.
Seeing that there were still two barges left, these two had been watching them from afar on the roof, as if they were ready to wait for an opportunity, Gu Liancheng motioned for Gu He and another one named Xu Qiu to defend from both sides, and he was ready to meet the attacks of these two barges.
"Be careful, they're going to go around!" Xue Shanhai reminded Liancheng Dao that he had not yet taken action, and Xue Shanhai didn't know why he subconsciously predicted the trajectory of the other party's movements, and he himself was a little stunned after speaking.
Lian Cheng glanced at Xue Shanhai and nodded in response.
Sure enough, the two barges quickly rushed towards the unarmed Gu Liancheng along the position of the wall, one left and one right, and Gu He and Xu Qiu also quickly judged that they blocked the advance of the barge from the left and right directions, respectively, while Gu Liancheng just stood motionless, as if waiting for an opportunity.
But at this moment, Xue Shanhai heard a rustling sound from behind the door behind him, although it was very faint, Xue Shanhai could clearly feel that something was approaching them.
"There's another barge in the back!" Xue Shanhai shouted, then turned around and stabbed hard at the air behind the left, maybe it didn't hit, Xue Shanhai felt something flash by his side, but he couldn't see anything, his intuition told him that he had to make a way to deal with it in a few seconds.
But the three of Gu Liancheng and Gu He over there had already used all their strength in the face of the attack of the two barges, and now an invisible barge suddenly appeared, and things became even more tricky. Xue Shanhai listened to the faint movement and reacted quickly, just in the direction of three o'clock, he turned around and ran, the dagger in his hand stabbed hard, only to hear a roar in the air, and at the same time, Gu He and Xu Qiu had already solved the other two barges.
Xue Shanhai thought that this monster in the air would turn into a boulder and appear in front of him, but before Xue Shanhai could withdraw the dagger, he fell to the ground in front of him.
In his vague consciousness, Xue Shanhai vaguely heard what someone was saying in his ears, but he couldn't hear it clearly, he only felt that his body couldn't move, and his body was surrounded by dense dream flower symbols.
Then Xue Shanhai lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he found himself lying in a grocery store.
This grocery store looks no different from the grocery store on earth, with all kinds of small items and goods on the shelves, if it weren't for a pot of sunflower on the table, Xue Shanhai would have thought that he had returned to the earth.
"Shanhai, you're awake." Just then, an old man with a white beard walked in from outside the house.
"Joe Shu?" Xue Shanhai was a little stunned, the white-haired old man in front of him looked very familiar, like the guy who chattered all day long, after a day and a half of separation, they met again.
"I thought you wouldn't recognize me." The old man said.
Qiao Shu, he is really alive!
But how did he turn into a gray-haired old man.
Seeing Xue Shanhai's surprised gaze turn into doubt, Qiao Shu took the lead in opening the conversation: "You want to ask me how I became an old man, right?" ”
Xue Shanhai nodded.
"Actually, it's been 50 years since I came to this place." Qiao Shu said this with a serious face, not like he was lying or joking.
"50 years? Have you spent 50 years here? Xue Shanhai looked at Qiao Shu in disbelief, from Yimu and himself said that it was unbelievable that she had spent three years here, and how many things had to happen if she spent 50 years here. Fortunately, with Yimu's previous popularization of the power of Dream Flower, Xue Shanhai was not shocked, but in the current situation, I am afraid that Qiao Shu and Yimu know much more about A36 than themselves.
"That's right, 50 years." Qiao Shu smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became deeper.
That is, he can still laugh, and Xue Shanhai at this time no longer knows what kind of expression to use to face this gray-haired old man.
