Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Burning Valley
The finishing work was not yet completed when Jiang Qian broke in and interrupted it.
The most important task for the entire guild right now has become finding Xiao Mi.
SSS-level emergency.
Jiang Yongzhuang, where are you?!
Come out quickly and stop playing hide-and-seek.
Earlier, after hearing the alarm was lifted, Jiang Ying immediately asked the guards of the underground air-raid shelter about her Xiao Mi's whereabouts, but no matter how many people she asked, she got only one answer.
[No one has been ordered to isolate themselves from their cats.]
This news was like a bolt from the blue.
How is this possible? !
The man was wearing the uniform of the Paradise Guild and was able to move freely here.
No. 019 Lan Zhi, she has seen the ID!!
"lady."
Soon, Lan Zhi stood up, a big fat man.
“It’s not him!!”
Jiang Xi's voice broke and her body was shaking. If Lu Suye hadn't supported her from behind, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Therefore, that document was forged.
Lu Suye immediately suspended all members of the Paradise Guild from their posts and immediately called them over to recognize her faces.
While wiping her tears, Jiang Xi recalled the appearance of the man she had seen in the underground air-raid shelter from among the men standing in a row in the hall.
No... none of these...
That person is gone, along with her little Mimi!!
Seeing that the team was about to be eliminated, Lu Suye's heart was hanging in the air and couldn't calm down.
He knew very well what this cat meant to Jiang Xi.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as the cat is still in the Paradise Guild, it will be found sooner or later.
Lu Suye assured Jiang Xi.
But at this moment, Jingcheng suddenly came over, his expression was uncertain.
"You said earlier that Yongzhuang was put in a black airline box, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qian felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Yes!" Jiang Ting's eyes widened and she grabbed Jing Cheng's arm. Her eyes were full of anticipation and desire. "Do you know where that box is?!"
Since you said that, most of you know it, but what Jingcheng knows is not what everyone wants to see.
Unlike the well-developed Sky Eye surveillance network in modern society, there are very few places in Paradise Valley with surveillance devices.
Firstly, maintaining monitoring equipment requires a large amount of electricity, manpower and storage space. Secondly, monitoring is not of much use to people with special abilities.
Crimes that have nowhere to hide under electronic devices can only restrain ordinary people. As long as the superpowers want, they can turn them into "shadows" with their extremely fast speed.
However, there is no such thing as a world where one can capture the electronic equipment of people with special abilities without damaging them even if they try to hide.
Therefore, there are only a few places in Paradise Valley where surveillance equipment is installed.
——Material warehouse.
Jingcheng had seen the surveillance footage of several large material warehouses before the arrival of the "White Mist Poison Cloud".
He just wanted to give it a try to verify his guess, "animal dislocation."
Unfortunately, the reality is so cruel.
The worst outcome becomes a bloody reality.
When Jiang Qian saw the footage she had cut out from Jingcheng, and saw a black box that looked out of place sandwiched between the gaps between the "sacrificial" racks made of several large cow and pig cages stacked on a truck, she almost fainted on the spot.
It's not clear from the front, but that position happens to be what the camera can capture directly.
When the picture is enlarged, the insects flying around the livestock are clearly visible, not to mention the three white whiskers and fine hairs sticking out from the air vents of the aviation box.
In an instant, Jiang Xi's breathing seemed to stop.
Because what follows is a scene where the warehouse door opens and the self-driving truck heads towards the set coordinate point.
"Where did it go? This car?"
After leaving the supply warehouse, the scene suddenly stopped.
Like a soulless puppet, Jiang Ying's voice is very mechanical.
No one present dared to answer her question.
Especially Si Mu.
His blood ran cold.
Jiang Xi's cat was put into an airline box and sneaked into a truck loaded with "sacrifices". It was driven out of the base before the Bai Lan poisonous cloud arrived?
The situation was so urgent that he didn't even notice that there was a black aviation box stuck in the gap between one of the trucks.
In other words, Jiang Ting's cat was given away as a sacrifice right under his nose! ?
Furthermore, due to economic considerations, these trucks were actually old, dilapidated vehicles that the Paradise Guild urgently needed to scrap. They had no license plates, and the number and type of "sacrifices" loaded on them were almost identical, so there was no way to verify the coordinates of the vehicle captured on the surveillance camera.
Dead end.
Everyone knows the result, this is the fate the kitten has to accept.
Anyone can recognize it, but he can't.
Lu Suye: "Help me prepare things."
He went to look for it himself.
At this moment,
"Boss!" Wang Mingming hurried over and handed him a document.
The line drawing just printed out by the printer is still slightly hot.
Worse news comes one after another. Words are useless, the data can speak for itself.
The air in the Bliss Guild's municipal hall suddenly froze.
"Bai Lan" turned around.
-
"What?! A tornado turns? It's coming back? Holy shit, can this really be a tornado?"
"It's a bit like a typhoon..."
"Why would a typhoon hit the valley? It's not along the coast! My family suffered every year. I know it all too well."
-Anle District-
As soon as a few exits from the underground shelter were opened, outdoor enthusiasts who could not wait any longer rushed out.
But within a few minutes, the alarm sounded again, telling them to hide quickly.
"What..." Extremely reluctant, no one wanted to stay in the dark and damp underground, "Can you not go back? It's just a gust of wind, what's the big deal? It's not a zombie!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The first group of people who went out earlier pushed the second and third groups of residents who were eager to try, and asked them to retreat back underground quickly. They were more active than the psychic defenders.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Look at you, you look like you have kidney deficiency." He didn't care at all.
"There's a dead person up there!!!" screamed.
To be more precise, it was the human remains and internal organs that had not been completely swept away.
All those who followed the instructions and took shelter in the underground shelter survived.
But those who took risks, ignored advice, and wanted to take advantage of the disaster to do some petty thefts were all scattered here and there.
However, I guess they don’t have any relatives who can help collect their bodies and hold a funeral banquet, so it’s just a matter of you taking turns.
It’s hard to persuade a damn ghost with kind words.
-
"President??"
Although the sudden news of the poisonous cloud turning around made everyone tremble with fear, Lu Suye's men still competently and immediately carried out his orders.
Because he did not cancel this order.
Whether or not Paradise Valley will make a comeback soon.
An overloaded car, filled with heavy rifles, bullets, mental supplements, water and other supplies, had parked outside the guild gate.
Jiang Xi sat on the chair and no longer cried loudly like she did at the beginning.
But the tears, like a broken faucet, just couldn't be stopped.
Although immersed in great grief, she also heard the conversation between the guild members.
She knew that thing... had come back again.
In a short while, it will sweep across the Paradise Valley again, wiping out all life it touches.
"I'll go find it."
Suddenly, a familiar face appeared in front of her, and Jiang Xi's eyes trembled.
In his eyes, there was Lu Suye's calm gaze.
"Right now."
As if he was saying something that was very natural.
Then, he placed a deep kiss on the woman's forehead, just like the loving kiss she had given him when she was willing to be with him.
Maybe this is the last time we see each other.
Jiang Xi lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at him.
Until Lu Suye walked out of the guild gate,
She didn't stop it.
She wants her cat, and she can't and doesn't want to control anything else.
All she knew was that her cat was taken away by someone wearing the uniform of the Paradise Guild!
The woman is "cruel" and doesn't take him seriously.
No, brother.
"Are you crazy?"
The moment Lu Suye got into the car, Jing Cheng grabbed him and asked, "Have you been bewitched by that woman and become mentally retarded?"
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little regretful for revealing the truth he had discovered.
If he had known that Bai Lan Du Yun had turned around, he would never have done that.
Jingcheng: "That thing——"
You can figure it out with your toes...
"I don't know if that thing is still a cat now."
Lu Suye knew what Jingcheng wanted to say.
But he also had his own reasons for going.
What a familiar scene, Jiang Xi's cat was taken away by zombies.
At that time, he didn't even have the chance to see her, and could only stay by her side and watch her cry.
But now, he is the only one by her side. If he chooses to escape, not only in her heart will he never be able to compare to that person, but he himself will not be able to forgive himself.
I don’t know if he was a mouse in his previous life, this cat is his nemesis!
He admitted it.
Who made Jiang Xi like it?
Bang!
The door closed and the car started.
——"Anyway, I'm her dog now."
Jingcheng: “…” His head was splitting with pain.
Listen to what bullshit this guy is saying!
However, having grown up together, they knew each other's tempers too well, and Jingcheng knew that he could not stop Lu Suye.
We can only listen to him and help him take care of the guild.
Waiting for him...
Come back alive or dead.
All members of the guild took refuge.
"It's over, it's over. I'm dead this time. It's really a death from heaven."
"Is the president even human? Has he been possessed? Is he crazy?"
Otherwise, who in their right mind would wander around outside knowing that Bai Lan's poisonous cloud is about to arrive?
No, I'm going to find the cat.
"Oh, maybe I need to change guilds, but there's no direct recruitment for guild presidents these days, so where can I go?"
"Brother, do you want to leave too? Take me with you! I hate love-sick people the most. I was really ripped off. I initially thought the leader of the Paradise Guild was a ruthless devil, an invincible fire and arcane mage, but now I find out he's a complete idiot who would do anything for a woman! Speechless!"
“…”
-
Jiang Xi was crying again.
This time it was not a single room. Seeing that her condition was not right, Vice President Jing Cheng immediately asked someone Jiang Xi was familiar with to accompany her back to the underground shelter.
Although he and Simu are both vice presidents of the Paradise Guild, there is a hierarchy among the vice presidents, and they are divided based on their close relationship with Lu Suye in the Brotherhood. If Lu Suye is not here, the most powerful person here, even if it is not said explicitly, everyone knows that it is Jingcheng.
The three of them obeyed his orders and left with Jiang Xi.
The reason why he asked someone to accompany her was, on the one hand, to keep an eye on her and make sure she didn't get into any accidents due to excessive sadness; on the other hand, the murderer of the "cat liar" had not been caught yet, and Jingcheng was afraid that Jiang Xi would be harmed again if she was alone.
As for himself, he had to continue using his mental power to seal the gap between the underground air-raid shelter and the ground of the entire Paradise Valley base.
Therefore, there was no such thing as "animal scent leaking" that caused Bai Lan to look down, and naturally there was no need to separate and isolate them.
Now, although she is surrounded by people she is familiar with, Jiang Qian doesn't feel any comfort at all.
It was painful enough to lose the cat, and now her man might even lose his life if he went out in such a dangerous environment to help her find the cat.
She knew that if Lu Suye died, she would be finished too.
Jiang Xi was overwhelmed by endless pain and cried so sadly after suffering one blow after another.
The three strong men around her were all scared.
Don't cry yourself to death.
"Brother Si Mu, would you please…"
Wang Mingming couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and he had a bold idea.
And this idea is a real violation!
How could Si Mu not know that Wang Mingming was asking him to walk on a tightrope and cross the line?
You know, a person with special superpowers like him can't use his superpowers on ordinary people unless it's absolutely necessary, and what's more, he's using it on the boss's woman! !
But then again, he really couldn't stand it anymore.
In addition, he did not discover it in time and Jiang Yongzhuang was sent out... This led to an irreversible tragedy.
But at that time, even if God came, he wouldn’t be able to discover it.
But this did not prevent him from feeling guilty towards Jiang Xi.
Actually, it’s not impossible to use superpowers, as long as you don’t get discovered.
When he looked at the third person present, he saw that He Yongqiang had a frown on his face and was breathing heavily through his nostrils.
It was as if she was angrily complaining to him, "You are so cruel! Even at this moment, you are still hesitating. Are you a human being?"
He Yongqiang and Wang Mingming had the same idea.
OK, now everyone is on the same page!
We are in the same boat and are like grasshoppers on the same rope. No one is allowed to betray anyone else. Everyone is involved in this matter today!
First, make sure to distinguish the pot, and then do the work.
He Yongqiang and Wang Mingming: "..." Brother Si Mu, I never thought you were such a fussy person before.
Si Mu: “…” He was scared by his own face.
quick!
Comfort Jiang Qian and hypnotize her. It would be best if she can fall asleep, but it would be even better if she can sleep until tomorrow!
Si Mu walked closer, "Jiang Qian? Look up at me."
He was about to hypnotize, with his eyes.
At this moment,
An accident happened!
Her vision was blurred by tears, and the appearance of the person in front of her was also blurred, except for the pair of eyes in the deepest part of her heart that once haunted her.
Memories are powerful, and the white moonlight is invincible.
"Xiao Liang..."
His neck was suddenly hugged by a pair of women's arms, and the woman who hugged him tightly was sobbing.
“…My cat is missing.”
Si Mu was petrified on the spot.
He turned and looked at the two "witnesses" in astonishment. (Tainted Witness)
At the beginning——
He Yongqiang and Wang Mingming: "..."
later--
He Yongqiang, Wang Mingming: (eye contact) What's wrong with just letting her hug you?
We are all brothers, we won’t tell anyone.
look!
She stopped crying.
"My cat is missing, Xiao Liang, can you help me find my cat... Yong Zhuang, my cat, Xiao Liang..."
The chaotic mumbling was intermittent and could no longer form a complete sentence, accompanied by the unconscious sobbing that could not be stopped in Jiang Xi's body.
"Well, boss—" Si Mu stopped talking before he could finish his words.
Although she hasn't hypnotized herself yet, she has already achieved the hypnotic effect. If she interrupts it hastily, Jiang Qian, who has already calmed down a little, will inevitably fall back into the pain of reality.
For the moment, I put myself in the shoes of a substitute.
Si Mu: "I've already gone to look for it."
(I don’t know how I found it while I’m holding you in my arms)
Jiang Xi: "Okay." softly.
Slowly, her body stopped shaking and her crying turned into even breathing.
Comfort, no logic needed!!
As long as it's useful.
He Yongqiang, Wang Mingming: (amazing) (thumbs up) You are really talented.
Si Mu: “…” Feeling like sitting on pins and needles.
What if the boss finds out?
-
Where? Where exactly?
Searched everywhere.
All the dots… the car was still there, the cage was still there, the bloody remains of the animal.
Ox eyes, sheep trotters... pig tails, chicken feathers...
Black flight case!
Empty? ? ?
Where’s the cat!?!?
Passing through the white mist, burning everything with eternal fire.
In the Bliss Valley, dozens of caves, like sparks from cigarettes lit in the darkness, suddenly became a prairie fire.
-
Oh my god, the sky is on fire?
This was the first shocking and magnificent scene that the refugees in Anle District saw when they came out of the underground air-raid shelter.
But what they saw was not a gorgeous sunset with fiery clouds, but a scene of thousands of corpse holes created by the white mist and poisonous clouds, all of which were ignited, like an active volcano on the dark lava rock, spewing out scorching hot flames.
Thick smoke billowed, blocking out the sun and the sky. In the forest, this is also called an unstoppable wildfire. The raging fire burned all the corpse caves within a radius of hundreds of miles.
Nearby base: Where did this kind-hearted person come from to clear away all the hidden dangers at their doorstep?
No one knows that those who do good deeds without leaving their names actually don’t intend to do good deeds.
The reason for doing this is for only one purpose.
——Looking for a cat.
The result has not been found yet.
Lu Suye was going crazy.
He searched eight times, almost turning the entire valley upside down, and almost all the zombie nests were gone.
But I didn't see even a single cat hair.
Is this correct?
He used up his mental strength to force his way through the upper limit three times, but it was all exhausted in the end. He returned to the base with only his last breath left.
He couldn't just die out there.
The gate of the base was closed and has been closed to the outside world since then.
For a long time to come, the Paradise Guild will no longer accept new faces.
Because this is not the end, it is a new beginning.
Not far from the entrance of this sentry checkpoint, there stood a person, perfectly blending into the moving shadows of the trees.
No one noticed him.
It would be incredible if the love-mad leader of the Paradise Guild could find what he was looking for.
I arrived too late and someone else got there first.
It is destined that some people will be late.
-
The background is a burning valley. The man standing outside the checkpoint of Paradise Base has no intention of moving forward, but just watches quietly from a distance.
He has a huge ancient sword on his back, is dressed in black and wears a black hood. His face is hidden in the shadows, mysterious and cold.
But his arms were bent, and he was holding something.
A soft furry mass curled up inside.
He tried to struggle to move, but blood gushed out.
The huge tear on its chest almost tore it in half.
The baby raised its little head from the man's arms with difficulty. Shortly after birth, the white membrane that had faded long ago climbed up its eyeballs again, covering its entire pupils, making it look a little scary.
The other eye, however, was as bright and clear as a glass bead.
Reflected before its eyes,
An orange-red maple leaf slowly falls down.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: [Focus on answering some questions]
1. This article will be updated daily, with no drafts on hand. I'll post it as soon as I'm done, and I'll write as much as I can, finishing it in one go. (Can we do it this time? The voices are becoming increasingly unsure. The number of people writing is dwindling, sob. But the outline of the article has been planned to the final chapter, the plot is coherent, and the storyline is complete. I hope we can reach that day soon.)
*Update time: If there are no special circumstances, I will update after dinner, around 0:00; if I write after 0:00, I will update in the morning; if I write in the afternoon, I will update during dinner time (usually I will not write in the afternoon, I am used to slacking off during this time period). I will update more often if the list is good, and I will update at least every day, and strive to update 10,000 articles a day.
2. This chapter is the last of this section [Bliss], and the next chapter will be [Scorched Earth]. ([Scorched Earth] will be slightly shorter, while [Sleeping in the Snow] will be longer, as it was a long winter.)
3. Little Mimi is in trouble, but it’s okay, she will appear in the next section (cat lovers will never do anything to hurt cats)
4. The heroine has always had superpowers, a hidden passive superpower that will only be revealed later and become active. It is the most awesome ceiling superpower in this article (not charm, some friends guessed it, but only half of it)
5. The heroine needs a new man! (Will he be a good man?!)
6. The heroine's ability setting:
This world is the most dangerous in the series, a complete law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak, with no sense of reason. If you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you can't do it. The gap between ordinary people and those with special abilities is even greater than that between humans and dogs.
The heroine who suddenly came through without any preparation had no room to maneuver. In addition, there were always strong men around her, so she didn't need to do anything to survive. But when these men were not by her side, her fate was obvious to all.
People are lazy. Only when a knife cuts into their body will they feel the pain and then make up their minds to change. The background of this article also determines that she can't achieve independence by relying on herself alone, and she still has to rely on strong men. (What's wrong with being weak? Soft girls are so cute. Yeah, fingers)
She did try to change as much as possible, such as trying to awaken her own superpowers. However, objective reality cannot be changed by human consciousness. When I was a child, I also wanted to go to Tsinghua University, but it doesn’t mean I can go to Tsinghua University just because I want to!
If safety is no longer an issue, she no longer needs men. Once men are of no value to her, this story can end. So the heroine will become stronger in the later stages.
7. The man setting of this article:
This article doesn't mention "absolutely perfect" men; rather, it emphasizes that there are only relatively decent ones. If there's a perfect man, it would have to be Mimi. Men truly aren't perfect; they're inherently animalistic, and only through conscious or unconscious disguise do they appear good or bad.
But a gentleman judges deeds, not hearts, and no one is perfect. A bad person can pretend to be good for their entire life, and that's how they become. But Lu doesn't pretend at all, even after he gets the heroine. Beyond the influence of his own personality, people also judge themselves based on their abilities and circumstances. With his current position of power, he's invincible, with no need to pretend. He can do whatever he wants, and so he speaks freely and uninhibitedly. (Vulgar language, lewd language, a disgrace to society!!)
Novels are novels, and exaggeration is inevitable. The heroine's environment is limited by the times, leaving her powerless to do much about it. However, as an aside, in everyday reality, the author's message still requires subjective initiative and positivity. At least in our current era, where there is peace and stability, and relative gender equality, women have limitless possibilities. Rely on yourself for everything you can, and try not to pin all your hopes on men. Expecting men to always do what you want is bound to be disappointing.
8. The writing style of this article:
"Exaggeration": The plots of some chapters may be uncomfortable at the moment, but there are no useless plots in this article. Every plot setting serves the development of the plot. It is not deliberately "disgusting" for the sake of being "disgusting". It's just that the current chapter, or the previous and next chapters, cannot see what the purpose is. It will definitely be useful later.
"Male Condensation": There's no way around it. The heroine is a stunning beauty, and 99% of the characters in this story are men. If men don't become attracted to the heroine, how can they be considered transsexuals? Surrounded by men, all handsome, and not a pervert, the heroine isn't a pervert. She's already smitten with every man she sees, completely changing Teemo's character. She's become a harem queen. Furthermore, in this chaotic, lawless world, concentrating on these sexually repressed men is essentially courting death. Men are incredibly self-satisfied and self-assured. A woman can instantly identify them with interest, even if they've already harbored inappropriate feelings for the heroine. The end result is bound to be utter devastation. "Female Condensation" isn't unheard of, but it's impossible to write about. However, I believe it only occurs in normal, relatively safe environments for women. You can check out "Beware! They're Coming for You."
