Chapter 552 Long Drought without Nectar
Under the scorching sun, between the incomplete roads, huge trucks rushed forward, kicking up layers of dust.
After getting through the initial discomfort stage, Huai Shi has barely adapted to the current speed... At least he can still survive this speed if he doesn't bump around.
Although it is still too fast, it is not that life is hanging by a thread every moment.
After he relaxed, he finally had the mood to look at the scenery outside the window.
As the module rotated, after leaving the desert, they entered the scope of a huge city in the sky of yellow sand. Countless layers of factories have stopped functioning, and only bushes have grown out of the dilapidated ruins.
The smell of decadence came to my face.
But there is also a shocking beauty.
It's hard to describe, but Huai Shi suddenly understands the ruin lovers in the current situation.
He felt lonely as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, but at the same time there was a reassuring silence, which made him gradually relax and feel a sense of silence.
Although this silence and tranquility is abnormal enough in itself.
Through his helmet, he sighed softly on the radio: "Although it is called hell, it looks similar to an ordinary wilderness."
"Ordinary wilderness?"
Raymond felt like there was something wrong with his ears: "There aren't so many ruins in ordinary wilderness, right?"
"...wherever there is, there is."
Huaishi was silent for a long time, and the village that was gradually covered in the yellow sand appeared in front of his eyes again, as well as countless silent and empty faces.
He shook his head hard to dispel the memories in those records.
"Is the current situation so chaotic? Or is it just you who are wild?"
Raymond thought for a long time and finally came to his senses: "I forgot that you were originally a supervisor... I must have seen a lot of all kinds of messy things.
By the way, I have a question that I haven’t asked yet, but I’m particularly curious: What are the benefits of a supervisory officer? I heard that in addition to internal benefits and a large number of special discounts, there are paid vacations every year. "
"Yes, but there is probably no chance of using paid leave."
Huai Shi shook his head, thinking about his life in the past year, and couldn't help but sigh: "Because I basically have nothing to do at home every day. Apart from playing games, I can only play card games on my mobile phone, which is terrible... occasionally When you go out, a lot of people will try their best to stuff you with dirty money, trying to drag you into corruption.
To be honest, it's so annoying. I feel that after a long time, I will lose my dream and become a hateful social person. Otherwise I would not have come to Ivory Tower. "
? ? ?
Raymond almost stepped on the accelerator and was dumbfounded: "Really or not?"
"Of course it's fake! What do you think?"
Huai Shi rolled his eyes: "How can such good things happen in the world? If it is so peaceful, how do you think I reached the third level in half a year?
When you stay at home, there are people who want to persecute you every day. When you go out, there are unscrupulous bosses who treat you like an animal and make you work for your life. Even when you go out to apply for a job, you can accidentally wander into a cult base, and when you go on a trip, you will be robbed by the Good Night Club. Here, there are still people who regard you as a murderous maniac. How could anyone think of living in such a miserable life? "
"hiss……"
Raymond took a breath, "How did you survive until now?"
"Maybe it's because you have great fortune and good luck?"
Suddenly, Raymond looked at Huai Shi with complicated eyes. It was like looking at a Paralympic athlete, full of admiration and pity, but also faint encouragement.
Don't slack off, young man, keep up the good work!
I have no idea what's going on in this guy's brain.
During the long march, the two chatted every now and then, but they didn't feel bored or nervous at all. Raymond is a professional driver and has long been used to seeing this kind of messy things. Huai Shi simply felt that it was quite refreshing here, and she felt relaxed and happy.
It seems that the enhanced version of Shao Siming's adaptability to hell has also been greatly improved. After Huai Shi's large group gradually took shape, the feeling of rejection and pressure from hell became much smaller.
The difference is like a foreigner who has just arrived and a foreigner who has lived here for two or three years.
It doesn’t matter if it’s big or small, it doesn’t mean it’s small.
The curse still threatened him.
Even with a full set of protective gear and a helmet, he could still feel the dryness and pain of his skin under the sunlight outside the window. Sometimes when he moved his mouth, the dry skin on his face would crack.
Although he will recover quickly, it will be extremely uncomfortable.
Even if Huaishi switched the ecosystem in her body to a desert state, it still didn't have much effect. But at least after drinking a few bottles of beer, the cracking phenomenon has slowed down a lot.
"How far is it?"
"After passing this ring area, we will reach the nearest underground entrance about 70 kilometers forward. If we go down, it will take about three or four hours. It may take a long detour because we don't know the conditions underground. Sometimes we have to adapt to circumstances.”
Raymond glanced at the navigation screen under the white cat's butt and scratched the cat.
Then he was slapped hard by the white cat.
The gloves were almost cut.
By this time, they had already passed through the layer upon layer of factory buildings and penetrated into this dead city that was as uniform as copy and paste.
Between the jumble of viaducts, countless gray-white high-rise buildings stand on the ground like a dense forest.
There aren't any windows, and you can't even see the entrance.
It seems to be just a pile of solid rock blocks similar to concrete, which reminds people of tombstones and other unpleasant connotations.
Among the countless high-rise buildings, some plots of land have completely collapsed, revealing the giant mechanical structures running slowly underneath. Occasionally bursts of black smoke would erupt from it, making sharp sounds.
They have gradually entered the land of dusk.
According to Huaishi's estimate, the entire Twilight Township is roughly the size of Qiongzhou, and maybe a little smaller. Because too detailed data cannot be collected.
Among the many classifications of hell, the Land of Twilight is the most hidden type of sinking.
On the edge shrouded by sandstorms, unexpected snowfall, heavy rain, and windstorms, the further you go outside, the thinner you see.
Until the end, the whole person will disappear into the superposition of hell and the outer abyss, never to come back. Unless they are wearing some special border relics or have special stigmata, most explorers will not try to get close to the edge.
Huaishi and the others relied on the stations prepared by Tie Jingzuo to enter here. But even the station is not completely safe. There are still miserable assimilated colleagues like Condra lingering there, unable to escape.
Just when Huai Shi thought of this, in the corner of his eye, under the broken and collapsed building, a figure seemed to appear without warning.
Then when he took a closer look, it disappeared again.
In the vague memory, the swollen outline seemed to be looking this way, then raised a hand and pointed in the direction they were going.
Warm and considerate.
Looking forward to, longing for, expecting.
Leading them step by step towards eternal destruction.
Huai Shi's movements stiffened for a moment, and she subconsciously pulled out her sword.
"just……"
He said in a solemn voice: "I seem to have seen the colleague who disappeared from the iron crystal seat before..."
Condra's name was not mentioned directly, but he chose this nickname that everyone tacitly understood. And Raymond's expression became strange.
No, it should be said that the frivolous smile he always had on his face faded for a moment and fell silent.
Poker face.
“What a coincidence, I also saw a former colleague on the radar.
He squinted his eyes and raised his head to look into the distance outside the window: "It's just that it's not on the iron crystal base——"
"Um?"
Huai Shi frowned, and before she had time to react, she heard a shrill alarm sounding in the cab.
Lock alert!
Suddenly, Raymond stepped on the accelerator, suddenly drifted from the spot, rushed off the elevated road, and shouted from mid-air:
"——The Nightmare Eye is coming, be careful!"
boom!
A violent roar erupted from where they were originally traveling.
A landing capsule as big as a freezer fell from the sky and hit where they should be now. Immediately afterwards, the outer armor exploded, and the flames contained in it spurted out and flew into the sky.
Above the sky, as the optical stealth frame was cancelled, a ferocious silhouette slowly emerged.
A huge aircraft engraved with the emblem of Nightmare Eye appeared from mid-air. Even though it was not a huge thing like an airship that could cover the sky, it still cast a ferocious shadow on the earth.
Driven by two huge propellers, the giant helicopter-like aircraft quickly lowered its height and followed Huai Shi and the others in hot pursuit.
If the fuselage was equipped with any missiles that could be used in hell, they would have fired all missiles long ago, burning Huai Shi and the others to ashes.
But now, there are still threats that are no less than missiles chasing after them.
In the falling landing cabin, six flames rose into the sky, screaming and chasing them like fireballs.
The truck landed with a loud noise, crashed through a wall without any damage, and accelerated awkwardly.
Huai Shi was almost completely pinned down on the chair, unable to move.
He was beginning to feel lucky that he had just discovered a barf bag under his helmet.
"Fuck, it's Salamander!"
Raymond cursed angrily, turned the steering wheel hard, and tried to turn to get rid of the flames that were pursuing him behind him. But the flames flying in the air were like living creatures, biting them tightly.
Reluctant to let go.
"Is that the hell crowd?" Huai Shi raised his eyes and looked in the rearview mirror.
"Yes, the large group of hells that have a contract with Nightmare Eye are all half-element and half-living fire spirits. They are not afraid of the curse in the sun at all."
boom!
Before Raymond finished speaking, a loud noise erupted, and the truck suddenly shook and was almost overturned by the flame that hit it.
The flames stagnated in the air for a moment, and were ready to hit again.
But then, the sunken carriage was suddenly torn apart, and a large hand covered with iron armor protruded from it, and it actually pinched the ball of flame spirit out of thin air under the sun.
I kneaded it twice.
——Little brother, what’s the matter with you?
Salamanda's flames twisted for a while, and finally a burning figure emerged. He struggled hard to draw his sword and slashed at the big hand. Immediately afterwards, the hand raised up, lifted Salamanda's body, and suddenly pressed it against the wall next to her.
Friction, friction, friction.
A piercing scream erupted from the flames.
Soon, it disappeared without a trace.
There is no more flame.
But in this gap, the other five flames suddenly changed directions and hit the wheels under the carriage. He looked as if he was going to die with them.
The car shook, then split open out of thin air and fell off, revealing the chairs welded to the chassis of the car, as well as the nine burly figures on the chairs who looked like giants.
In their heavy protective clothing, the park guards pulled out the shotguns uniformly equipped on their waists, pulled the bolt, and aimed at the incoming fire.
"Holy—"
Accompanied by devotional chants, pull the trigger.
Two updates are finished, and the next month is in one week. Can you give me a monthly pass?
