Chapter 90 Let them wait

At 8:45 a.m., a high-energy laser beam from Tower 3 in the northwest corner of the main base killed Zhongqiu Yunmeng.

A ballistic trajectory that cut diagonally across half the base was completely clear, and among the countless objects with holes punched in their bellies, Qiu Yunmeng was one of them.

Qi An also winced in pain, after all, she and Qiu Yunmeng still had a connection that hadn't been retracted in time.

On all sides of the battlefield, the fear of the Wisps materialized, and screams filled the air above the base, shrill and heart-wrenching!

The noise was so piercing that it challenged the limits of human eardrums, and all the purifiers from the teams rushed to their teammates' side.

Qi An felt the pain for a moment, then relaxed his body again, wondering if he could modify his nervous system to reduce pain response in the future.

She suddenly turned around.

There were two white shadows in two directions behind her.

One white shadow is diagonally above to the right, and another is slightly to the left.

The white image on the left was a ball of snow-white willow catkins. When it rolled in front of Qi An, it was as if it was hit by a strong wind from the opposite direction, and suddenly scattered and broke into more than a dozen pieces!

The dozen or so pieces were arranged in different locations, like a dozen or so incredibly sticky plasters, which were stuck to Qi An's head, face, and limbs.

Qi An lost his balance and fell on the gravel ground.

The next second, she felt the newly formed membrane on her lower back being torn apart again.

Two tentacles reached out from behind the cave to the front, their pointed ends twisting to the left and right, tearing violently!

Qi An's body trembled, feeling as if the force was about to tear her in two alive!

Qiu Yunmeng's pain at this moment was even greater than hers, because she had cut herself in half at the waist!

Her intact lower body quickly liquefied, like a thick, undispersed mass of milk, rolling and flowing towards the eastern base wall!

All the worms on the ground in that direction rushed towards it frantically, trying to cut off its rear and clear a path for it!

"You haven't won yet! I'm not dead yet! It's you who deserves to die, you thief!" A low growl came from behind Qi An, as if it came from the throat of a wild beast.

But Qi An felt little fear, for this was merely a final act of defiance, the last words of a trapped beast.

A bright star is twinkling in the sky.

The starlight appeared blue, but its edges had a bright red hue, leaving a straight, faint trail of smoke in the sky.

Those were the flight lights and exhaust plumes of fighter jets, shining brightly in the night sky!

The 5-minute time limit that Tan Fu mentioned refers to the time it takes for the fighter jet to take off from North 1 and fly to the Xinsheng Base.

Perhaps the plane fought with the mutated flying insects along the way, causing a delay of a minute or two, but it has arrived.

A cold swarm of bees, shimmering with a ghostly blue light, weaved among the wisdom insects that rushed toward the high priest.

Between the cold blue dots are scorching red lines, and the turquoise liquid is layered on top of each other.

The snow-white "silk milk" that autumn has transformed into rushes forward through the ochre-blue grass and along the gray and white ruins!

However, when it emerged from the small triangular black hole supported by several concrete fragments, it was bumped and rolled backward.

It paused for a moment, only to discover that four large drones... two sizes larger than large drones, about the size of ping-pong balls, were arranged at the four corners of the hole, forming a square plane.

There really seems to be a plane between them, an invisible, unseen barrier!

The "silk milk" was about to roll back, but a full 20 large drones had already flown into that triangular black hole.

A flash of red light appeared in the black hole, and the sound was completely extinguished.

Twenty large drones came to chase Qiu Yunmeng, while another 15 headed straight for Qi'an.

But Qi An had already raised its long, powerful upper wings and clamped them shut again.

The four-winged priest behind her was indeed not dead, but he was too weak to dodge or block for a moment.

The four-winged priest was impaled like a double-sided sieve, with dozens of tentacles tightly hooking his chest and back!

The other end of the tentacles pierced deep into the ground, and the four-winged priest was suddenly like a bound spirit suppressed by the "Demon-Suppressing Lock." With a flick of Qi An's finger, he was pulled to his knees.

Qi An slapped the four-winged priest hard across the face with a flick of his wing.

She crushed the white priest's cyst, and her blood-stained boot tip kicked the four-winged priest in the neck, forcing it to raise its chin.

"Then tell me what I stole? Power? These tentacles?"

All of this comes from your gods? I stole the power of the gods?

Isn't this a bit ridiculous? Your gods are so great, how could a thief still break into your house?

The four-winged priest seemed to pause for a moment.

"What did you look like before? What was your name?" Qi An asked.

The four-winged priest paused again, revealing the handsome, upright face of a man in his early thirties.

He used to be a writer, writing about fantastical and dazzling adventures in other worlds. He was quite famous and the kind of person who did what he loved, which made him feel fulfilled and content.

Qi An lowered his toes, gently wiped the mud and blood from the square jaw, and stepped back.

The blood-red laser array lit up, and it turned into a pool of flesh and blood.

"Both Ash Priests have been confirmed dead," Qi An said, looking up at the location of a reconnaissance plane and speaking into the camera.

On the other side of the camera, there was silence for a long time.

Qi An flapped his wings, took a stroll around the base, casually killed the white priest who was frantically attacking Chen Xi and the others, and casually rescued a few people before flying to the rooftop.

She tore a sheet, spread it on the ground, and lay down on it to recover from her lower back injury.

At that moment, sound came from behind the camera lens, inside the bunker's command room.

It was a loud "thud," the sound of a fist slamming down on the command table!

The commander-in-chief let out a loud laugh, then covered his eyes, his fingertips appearing to be wet.

The wind seemed to have stopped, and the half-open, half-closed clouds finally gathered again, and a good, refreshing rain fell.

"So annoying!" Qi An had no choice but to take shelter in the dark building because of the rain.

As she grew increasingly drowsy and drifted off to sleep, she vaguely asked before falling asleep, "Are they cheering outside?"

“Yes, both leaders want to speak with you,” Tan Fu said.

"Let them wait," Qi An said, his head sinking down as he rested his head on his wings and fell asleep.
