Fireworks: Twilight Chapter 5: The City That Never Sleeps
The outer city, the city that never sleeps.
The top of the ruins.
"This is it." Xie Zi'an stopped. In front of him was a scorched earth, and the black ash scattered in the wind.
Not long ago, the city that never sleeps was destroyed overnight, and the investigation team that had been discharged was completely destroyed.
Xie Zi'an, who was laying the corpse, was given the task of investigating, planning to travel lightly and investigate with a small target of one person, so that it would be easier to escape.
But Xun Zimin thought that he was too self-righteous, and in case a negligent person was gone, he insisted on following.
Hearing that the two of them were going out on a mission, Qin Wei immediately patted his thigh and said to take me one.
And just like that, a makeshift patchwork of investigation teams was born.
Qin Wei squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil with his hand, looked at it carefully in front of his eyes, and then threw it out again.
"Monkey creatures can also spawn material flames that damage reality?" Qin Yu asked.
Xie Zi'an shook his head and said, "Generally, it can't, and it's not made of real flames. ”
"This is actually changed under the influence of an infinite electric current. It can be understood that a Temora battery is discharged to burn the earth. As for why they discharge, that's more on that later. ”
Qin Yu nodded and looked at Xun Zimin. Xun Zimin also nodded, and then slowly raised his hands.
Blue light poured out from Xun Zimin's palm, and at the same time, her palm began to become composed of blue quadrants.
This is Xun Zimin's ability, through the unknowable world, the power given by the unknowable gods.
The network cohomology can be cotonated with the surrounding residual network signals, so as to deduce what has happened.
"He's coming from here." She closed her eyes and began to move slowly. Despite the ruins of the place, those with closed eyes were unaffected. It was as if she had another pair of eyes, observing her surroundings.
About thirty meters or so, it stopped.
"He killed the first man here."
"He's been wandering around here for a while."
"He broke through the walls from here."
"Next, the army will raid."
She spoke as she walked, the city was so big that every word she said was a long time apart.
"Stop."
Xun Zimin stopped and said, "He's here...... Here's down here, lift-off, and then ...... Attack. ”
Beneath them was a massive disc-like structure—though it had been torn apart, as if it had been struck by something—the dome of the city that never sleeps.
"The facts are obvious, even the 'seven' can't easily destroy an outer city that claims to be the largest in the world." Xun Zimin said, "He should have locked the building as a pillar, and then ...... Detonated the energy device in the building, destroying it. ”
"Indeed, the collapse of the dome was extremely tilted, apparently with one side touching the ground first, and the other part touching the ground afterwards. Moreover, "Xie Zi'an pointed to the side very far away" The pillars on that side were tilted outward, indicating that he had not actually destroyed all the pillars, but the dome was too heavy. ”
Xun Zimin nodded and said, "That's right, because it fell from a very high place, the entire dome smashed the lower building, and at the same time, he was also torn apart." This gives people the illusion that this is directly destroyed, and makes people excessively strengthen this 'third place' in their consciousness. ”
"I have a question," Qin Yu said, "Since he destroyed the pillar from the inside, how did he get out?" ”
"The answer is obvious," Xun Zimin said, pointing to the pit at her feet, a slightly larger pit with traces of flames, and they were standing in it. "He just stood here, waiting for the dome to fall, and then took advantage of the inconsistency between the structure of the network and the material of the world, and walked through it directly."
"What about the core? Doesn't the core possess a material form that can be destroyed? ”
"Seven is always different from the other shrimp soldiers and crabs." Xun Zimin explained, "Their core was brought into the world of Luozi, and it was not created by using the world's material when they came to the world like other Luozi creatures. ”
"I see, you go ahead." Qin Yu nodded.
"There's not much more to say, he walked through here and watched the dome fall, and then, himself, landed in the sky, so, left this crater." Xun Zimin said.
Xie Zi'an used the shooting equipment to take a few photos of the scene, and then said to the two: "So our mission is almost over, let's go around to find some clues and go back." ”
"Hmm...... I'd like to visit here more. Qin Wei glanced at the Temora locomotive in the distance, thought about it and still didn't go back to get it, and chose to continue walking.
Xie Zi'an shrugged at Xun Zimin and said, "The ruins of an outer city of this scale are indeed a rare sight. ”
Thinking about the city that never sleeps, it really lives up to its name, with people coming and going during the day, and the hustle and bustle is boiling. It's also lit up at night. Now there is only one tragedy left.
Everywhere there were some collapsed holes, swarthy, and it was impossible to see how deep they were.
There were cities that said they wanted to build their domes outside the troposphere – of course, this is impossible, but the height of these cities is not to be underestimated. It's like some people in the upper echelons of the CCP and city-states in China even suffer from altitude sickness.
The sudden death of such a behemoth would shock the whole world no less than the outbreak of another world war in such an apocalyptic world.
Qin Wei could already imagine how big the impact of this incident was on the world. Since then, the seeds of fear have finally grown into towering trees, and everyone is at risk.
After walking around for a while, Qin Wei lost interest in this place.
I thought I could find something left behind after the collapse of the city and enrich my collection, but unfortunately there was nothing. Taobao is not good!
"Alright, let's go home." Qin Wei said. So the group began to return the same way, intending to retrieve the Temora locomotive.
On a relatively flat terrain, Xun Zimin stopped.
"This is ......," Xun Zimin frowned.
There was a terrible scene in front of him - the already dilapidated ruins left only rocks and ashes.
Xie Zi'an bent down and touched a puddle of solidified black substance on the ground with his fingers. "It's blood." He said.
"Is it...... Qin Wei said softly, "Is it a reconnaissance unit?" ”
"It should be true, the reconnaissance force only has ordinary equipment, and it is difficult to escape when encountering a large number of network creatures."
"I want to ...... We can't care about this......" Xun Zimin's voice sounded a little strange, and she stared straight in one direction.
The other two also turned their heads away.
Several creatures were watching them from a short distance.
Qin Yu blinked.
"We're afraid we're going to be the same as the previous reconnaissance troops."
When the creatures open their mouths, are they greeting them?
Should we say ...... "Hi" now?
Qin Wei slowly retreated a few steps back, then turned around and ran, followed by the other two.
And so, the blue wave came surgingly.
