Qin Tan was no stranger to the kind of power the other party was using.
It's just like the feeling the princess and the black crow gave her.
A flash of inspiration struck Qin Tan, and she had a sudden realization.
She kept moving.
The chains that fell from the sky kept colliding with Qin Tan, and wherever the black scythe passed, Qin Tan always managed to carve out a space for himself.
Qin Tan smiled when her scythe successfully struck her opponent.
The angel's body had reached its limit, and the damage to its joints was being held together by a kind of overgrown flesh.
But when Qin Tan's heart was pulled out, the other's life force deflated like a punctured balloon in an instant.
Qin Tan gasped for breath, pressing her left hand against her violently trembling right arm.
The phantom image above my head is fading away.
The angel's body fell to the ground, and a layer of black mist floated above her.
The black mist had no shape and rushed towards Qin Tan.
Qin Tan tried to avoid it at all costs.
With just a light touch, the other party vanished without a trace. Qin Tan, whose head was throbbing with pain, suppressed the urge to scream and knelt on the ground.
A faint sound came from beside my ear.
It's very light.
Looking at the heart that Qin Tan had dug out, she saw that it had also gone limp, and the contents of it had disappeared.
No enemy was visible in sight.
Qin Tan stared at that for a long while before exhaling and forcing herself to stand up.
She walked to the angel's side.
The angel now had lost her previous exquisite appearance and was covered in tattered clothes.
The mechanical limbs shattered the moment Qin Tan touched them.
"Is he still alive?"
Qin Tan asked, but received no response after a moment.
Qin Tan took off her coat and covered the angel with it. As the angel stood up, she noticed that the bracelet on her wrist flashed.
"I'm alive."
A message appeared on the bracelet, then quickly deleted itself.
"I haven't done what I promised to tell you yet, so I won't die."
The angel who re-entered the information world, though having lost her physical body, lived on in another form.
This was a pleasant surprise for Qin Tan.
"Also, I know who took the thing from my heart just now."
A surveillance video feed appeared on the wristband.
No specific person was captured on camera, but Qin Tan saw something that looked very familiar.
It is a string.
Come to think of it, she didn't see Qin Jie appear.
Xia Shuang also said that after she took the angel away, Qin Jie disappeared without a trace.
It seems now that the other side was the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
After learning who had done it, Qin Tan temporarily put the matter aside and looked towards the vortex.
He was driven back, but the door that had been opened was not closed.
"Is there a way?" Qin Tan asked the angel.
"There is nothing we can do."
This vortex will expand over time, and one day, this place will become a strange territory.
In that case, there's no point in Qin Tan staying any longer.
The battle line was constantly retreating. After Qin Tan chased after them for a while, he saw Old Ge and Gan Pengpeng.
"Did you get it sorted out on your end?"
Gan Pengpeng was covered in blood and looked utterly disheveled, while Old Ge was nearly exhausted.
"Okay, it's all sorted out. Let's go."
Qin Tan released the blood crows to cover their retreat, and then led Gan Pengpeng to catch up with the main force.
In order to evacuate, almost all the available vehicles had been driven away, so Qin Tan and the other two had to walk.
Gan Pengpeng, carrying Mr. Ge on his back, was having difficulty breathing.
Behind them, even more eerie creatures roared and relentlessly pursued them.
The appearance of one blood crow after another alleviated Gan Pengpeng's anxiety.
The three left the base as quickly as possible.
On the vast ice plain, the three traveled together.
"Do you think they'll come looking for you?" Gan Pengpeng asked.
If Qin Tan hadn't been here, he wouldn't have asked that question, and it would have been normal for those people to choose to abandon him and Elder Ge.
Yes, it will.
Qin Tan's tone was certain.
Just as Qin Tan said, half an hour later, Gan Pengpeng saw a black dot rapidly approaching in the distance.
It is a car.
The front of the car was smashed, but it stubbornly continued to drive, making a groaning sound.
After a sudden stop, the passenger door slammed to the ground with a loud thud, and Qin Tan and the driver's eye contacted each other.
"You're here?"
"They're here."
Simple conversation, everything is understood without words.
Qin Tan helped Old Ge sit in the back seat, and the vehicle turned around.
Where do we go now?
Gan Pengpeng relaxed and slumped in the back seat, looking somewhat bewildered.
He grew up at Base 8, which was his home, but now his home is gone, and they have become homeless.
"I'll take you back to the Federation."
With so many people, it's not practical to leave them outside; we can only bring them back to the Federation for further arrangements.
Moreover, there are many things that still require their clarification.
"She was an angel..."
Xia Shuang looked at Qin Tan, hesitating to speak.
"Don't worry, we've gotten everything we were supposed to get."
Qin Tan pointed to her bracelet, and Xia Shuang understood the implication.
"That's good. Now I can report back and give you an answer."
A vehicle running at full power gives the impression that it might fall apart at any moment.
During the journey, Gan Pengpeng would look out the window from time to time.
"Have you guys noticed that bird has been following us?"
Gan Pengpeng pointed to the overhead path.
The distance was too far to see what kind of animal it was, but it had been following us ever since we left the base.
"It's alright."
Qin Tan reassured Gan Pengpeng.
That's a black crow.
But she didn't say it directly.
Because the main force was too large to evacuate quickly, it took them more than an hour to catch up with the main force.
