Holding the adjutant next to him, Xun Mo quickly said, "Stay where you are and keep your eyes open. If you encounter any special situation, remember to contact us in advance using the communicator. Also, keep an eye on that hole over there. Although those bastards may not slip out now, maybe this is just a diversion. Since there is no one over there for the time being, run over and expand the trap that we have set up, expand it, and expand it again!"
After giving the instructions, he grabbed Ding Yan, Ji Qianqin and others beside him and said, "Follow me!"
Ding Yan and Ji Qianqin, whose sleeves were pulled, looked at Xun Mo stupidly.
After pulling these two people up, Xun Mo turned his head and glanced at the people behind him, and said calmly: "Stay here and don't move. I will go to Area A with these guys to take a look."
Hearing his words, the person in charge of Area B subconsciously widened his eyes: "Minister Xun..."
However, before these people could speak, Xun Mo waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I value my life more than any of you. But this is the best option right now. If you really want to lure the tiger away from the mountain, then it is better to lure a big tiger like me away than to take all of you little tigers away."
“Not to mention my strength,” he said lightly, “There is probably no one in this world who wants to kill me quietly yet. I am more comfortable with acting alone with these two guys than with a bunch of people following me.”
Xun Mo's words were plain, but people around him could hear a strong sense of confidence in his tone.
As the person who usually stays in the peninsula after Qi Guang and Wang Weizheng, Xun Mo is probably the cadre in the Countermeasures Bureau who has suffered the most attacks.
Especially in the messy environment of the peninsula, you have to know that there are more monsters and mutant creatures there than Ding Yan's sexual fetishes. Xun Mo has experienced being besieged by several monsters and then fighting his way out of them many times.
Although he has not yet encountered a heroic act like Wang Weizheng's, who crawled out from a pile of "disaster"-level monsters, Xun Mo is very experienced in dealing with assassinations, sneak attacks and small-scale battles.
Unlike Qi Guang, Qi Guang is good at coordinating large-scale operations, while Xun Mo, who came out of the almost hellish land of the peninsula, is like a precise and stable killing machine when dealing with enemies with not too exaggerated numbers! So despite some hesitation, these people still chose to believe Xun Mo.
Xun Mo just nodded slightly, then turned around and directly pulled Ding Yan and Ji Qianqin: "Follow me."
He said so.
Then Xun Mo grabbed the two people and strode towards the jeep.
Standing in front of the dark green jeep, Xun Mo didn't even frown, and kicked the door with one foot, and actually kicked it open! With a "click", the door hit the front of the car with a crisp and pleasant sound.
Watching this violent scene, Ding Yan and Ji Qianqin, who were being held like hamsters, looked at each other and swallowed at the same time.
This time Xun Mo drove the car himself, and the other two were placed in the back seat of the car. The doors were locked, so they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
In desperation, the two could only huddle together and whisper to each other.
Ding Yan: "What's going on?"
Ji Qianqin: "That's why I'm so worried! If I knew, I wouldn't be stuck here like you now."
Ding Yan: "Shouldn't Area B be the place with the most alien species? Now, let alone the most, I feel like I can be there."
Ji Qianqin: "I don't know! It can't be that the prophet's prediction is wrong?"
Ding Yan: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Ji Qianqin: "Anyway, we should go to Area A now. Xiao Song should be in Area A, right?"
They were originally supposed to follow Xun Mo, but Xun Mo felt that combat power should be evenly distributed, so he sent the capable Song Qingci to the relatively general area A.
In fact, Ding Yan and his men were in Area B because An Jianxiu had too many half-witted people under his command. Xun Mo felt that Ding Yan and his men were not much better than these half-witted people, so he concentrated his supervision on them...
The prophet clearly originally told them to all follow Xun Mo, but in the end Xun Mo made his own decision.
Through the rearview mirror, Xun Mo glanced at the two people gathered together and said calmly: "Don't feel troubled. The current situation is very complicated and is far from as calm as it seems on the surface."
"To be honest, I have some doubts about your leader now," Xun Mo said, "but out of trust in Director Wang, I will still follow his instructions seriously until I am sure that he is in trouble."
"But there were problems with the defense this time, which reflects a lot of things. In addition, it wasn't long ago that the incident at Yanxia Mountain happened, and many people have been worried about the possibility of a traitor inside. So, if there is really such a situation that cannot be explained in words, on the one hand, we must mobilize, and on the other hand, this operation is more important, and there are people watching behind the scenes. If there is such a problem, if there is nothing else to say, I must at least pretend to do it."
"Well, I am the nominal commander after all. If something goes wrong, I have to act quickly. Let's not talk about other things first. At least I can get rid of the possible blame on my head and avoid getting into trouble."
After patting the steering wheel, Xun Mo sighed, "So politics is different from the loose organizations like yours that gather under one person. Don't be disgusted. If your boss really has a problem, you guys would probably be beheaded in the past, but your boss would be torn to pieces and eventually tortured to death."
hiss……
Hearing Xun Mo saying such bloody words calmly, Ji Qianqin and Ding Yan's expressions changed completely.
Seeing the expressions of the two people in the rearview mirror, Xun Mo smiled and said nothing.
This is also part of education, he thought to himself.
He simply stepped heavily on the accelerator, letting the engine of the heavy jeep roar like thunder, and then with a sharp drift, he slid directly from the intersection to another small road.
Fiddling with the steering wheel with one hand, Xun Mo took out a black communicator from his pocket and threw it to Ding Yan and Ji Qianqin behind him.
Ji Qianqin, who was closer, was in a panic and almost failed to catch the dark communication device.
Glancing at Ji Qianqin's movements, Xun Mo said, "Further ahead is the area of Area A. Contact the communications person in Area A."
As he spoke, he held the steering wheel with both hands and drove at full speed in the empty streets that seemed like a long and quiet night. He even hit a green trash can along the way and directly knocked the trash can into the sky! All kinds of scattered garbage fell from the sky, and stained papers slowly fell to the ground, like an angel who had lost his wings and fallen into hell, drooping on the ground dejectedly.
As Ji Qianqin called out from behind, Xun Mo put his hands on the car window and looked at the sky outside.
"According to what that guy said, the weather shouldn't change so quickly," Xun Mo muttered to himself, "Is there something wrong with that guy, or have those bastards changed?"
"Tsk, or are all our reactions so far within the prediction? If that's the case, then what's the point of him releasing false information? To bypass us and divert attention? Or is it similar to Tian Ji's horse racing idea, using the inferior horse to hold back the superior horse of the opponent?"
Holding the ceiling outside the car window, Xun Mo's eyes flickered: "Let's go to Area A first."
Just as he was thinking this in his heart.
Suddenly, the communication port in Ji Qianqin's hand burst into a crackling sound of electricity: "I...zizi...district...zizi..."
Connected?
Ji Qianqin looked at the communicator happily: "Area A, Area A, can you hear me?! If you can hear me, please reply!"
As she asked, the voice on the other end of the communicator soon became louder: "District... Zizi... Encounter... Zizi... Quick...!"
No matter how the other party tried to speak, the communicator in Ji Qianqin's hand always sounded hazy and blurry, like listening to an echo several meters away in the sea.
She subconsciously shook the iron lump twice, as if she thought that doing so would make the sound clearer.
Xun Mo just glanced at the communicator in her hand and said, "The interference factor is too great."
He controlled the steering wheel and said, "It seems that it is not just the distance and weather factors, but other anomalies. Those bastards probably installed some interference device near Area A, which affected the quality of communication. Tsk..."
Xun Mo sighed again: "Although I don't want to admit it, I feel that your leader is looking more and more like a traitor now."
对面那些不知道从哪里冒出来的家伙提前窃取到了他们的信息，甚至于还在他们的安排之外神不知鬼不觉地安装了特殊的装置，并且扰乱了一切计划。
从这个角度来看，总感觉是先知在跟那些怪物里应外合，密谋着把对策局派到这里来的人全部拿下，最后看着对策局的人死不瞑目倒在自己面前、同时嘴里发出“嘶嘶”的冷笑声，说着：“世界是我的了”这种不明所以的反派话来……
某种程度上来说好像还挺配？
毕竟那个家伙穿的就很反派。
一边拍着方向盘，荀墨一边乐呵呵地说道：“像我这样级别的人，估计起步都是‘灾难’级吧。我听说有一个奇妙的商店，里面有一个神明在做买卖的交易。要我看，我估计也值个……三十亿？”
旁边的季千琴愣了一下：“什么三十亿？”
荀墨摇摇头：“没啥。”
他轻描淡写地说道：“不过现在你们还是放低一点比较好。”
说着，他直接伸出一只手、将靠在中间的季千琴按住脑袋，硬生生把她压在座位底下的空隙里，紧紧贴着她自己的腿！ 嗯？！
被这么一按的季千琴感觉自己的麻筋都在突突直跳：“嗷嗷嗷嗷嗷！”
她的手抓着两边的座椅，虽然感觉绷不住、但还是死死地卡着不让自己爬起来。
因为她能够感觉到，刚才在荀墨动手的时候，有什么东西在自己面前轻轻蹭了一下。
那是……死亡的味道。
如果荀墨没有把她的脑袋按下去，那么现在的季千琴，恐怕已经是一具尸体了。
而旁边有座椅护着的丁炎，则是清楚观看了全程。
就在季千琴开口说话的时候，不远处、一根细密得几乎看不清晰的锐光从阴沉的天幕之中穿梭而出，宛如刀子刻进融化的黄油里一样贯穿了挡风玻璃，径直朝着季千琴的面门而来。
丁炎甚至是在荀墨压住季千琴脑袋之后、才险而又险地看到那一抹银亮的流光。
他下意识按住自己的胸口，面色有些苍白。
如果刚刚荀墨没有出手，他是绝对不会察觉到这种来自于远处的、极其微小的攻击的！ 假如那个攻击是从自己这边来的，假如自己是坐在季千琴的位置，假如荀墨都没有察觉……
很少见的，丁炎感觉到了实质般的恐惧。
跟以前不同。
这一次他身边没有预警的雷达，一切都需要依靠他自己！
坐在前面的荀墨收回了手，眯着眼睛开口：“哈哈，看起来杂种里面也有类似于‘狙击手’一样的家伙啊。”
“怎么说呢，你们觉不觉得现在我们就跟老式rpg里面的主角一样？”荀墨饶有兴致地说道，“遇到了特殊的事件，然后在前往拯救伙伴的过程之中被反派安插的眼线给注意到，然后一路打怪升级、最后成功从废弃的城堡里面把自己半死不活的同伴给捡起来、遛着弯扛回了家。”
摆弄了一下方向盘，荀墨偏过头去、以数公分不到的差距再次从躲掉一根细密的针刺。
“那个男的，”荀墨把后视镜调整了一下，对准丁炎那边，然后跟镜子里的丁炎四目相对，“你后面应该有把枪吧？”
被吓得有些愣神的丁炎听到荀墨的话语之后，下意识从后面摸了两把。
这一摸，还真让他找到了两把沉重的黑色武器。
费力地把这两把武器抱出来，丁炎下意识想要递给荀墨。
然而下一秒钟，荀墨的声音差点把他魂都给吓出来：“等下我路过那个路口转弯的时候，你就朝着我们原本那个方向的第三栋楼射过去。”
手伸出车窗外，荀墨抓着车顶、漫不经心地说道：“那个放冷枪的家伙就在那边，估计是什么多毛、多骨传说的怪物，这种玩意儿都是它身上的毛发。啧，真是恶心。”
丁炎并没有在意荀墨话语里的嫌弃，而是抓着枪有些不知所措：“我……我来？！”
荀墨从后视镜里看了他一眼：“当然，不是你来还能是谁来？”
他拍了一下方向盘：“总不能是让我这个开车的来吧？还是说你想要让我们的车冲进对面的楼里，然后被对面那些杂种包围，最后在欢声笑语里打出GG？”
丁炎有些麻爪：“但是……但是我……”
荀墨翻了个白眼：“哪那么多但是。我听你们头儿说过，你们之前不是在云上那个地方学习过吗？别的不说，枪总摸过吧？瞄准总会吧？”
他伸出手，在半空中比划了一下：“就是抬起枪管、瞄准，然后发射，简单的很。”
哪有那么容易！
这就跟“三步把大象放进冰箱里”一样，听起来简单得很、但是真要是上手分明就是第一步都得让你捶胸顿足焦头烂额好吗？！
丁炎人都麻了。
他握着枪的手有些拘谨地放在旁边，下意识抬起的枪身略微带上一点漂移。
就像是他现在颤抖的肩膀。
他是真的有些害怕。
如果是正儿八经跟那些怪物打遭遇战倒是无所谓，但是像现在这种悄无声息就能够把一个人的生命给夺走的东西，丁炎却有一种打心里的畏惧感。
曾经在云上学院那个阶梯教室，白令利用“罪面”释放出所有人恐惧的时候也是如此。
当时的丁炎亲眼看着先知的胸口多出一颗子弹，然后满脸难以置信地颓然倒在自己的面前。
这种不声不响就把一个人从你的面前带走，甚至于让你连一点反应空间都没有的手段，真的很让人恐惧。
而且更不用说，现在自己就是要用枪管对准那个宛如死神镰刀一般收割生命的家伙。
这也就代表这自己、以及自己旁边的季千琴，已经暴露在那个家伙的眼睛里，只要丁炎他有一丝一毫的犹豫、很可能那个家伙就会提前在自己之前，将自己或是季千琴的命宛如割草一样收割掉！
想到这里，丁炎就没来由得有些手抖。
而坐在驾驶位上的荀墨看着眼前这一幕，缓缓叹了一口气。
“你们啊，就是过得太顺了，”他淡淡地说道，“一看就知道，虽然你们经历了很多事情，但是从来没有用自己的力量应付过危机。”
“一直依靠你们头儿的能力当然很简单，但是如果有一天、你们头儿的谋划需要你们拥有更高层次的能力呢？”荀墨转了一下方向盘，接着说道，“当然咯，先知的能力确实很可怕、而且他到目前为止也没有出现过错误，哪怕是眼下、我也觉得这可能是他想法的一部分。”
“但是那是他的啊，你们自己呢？”
荀墨平静地开口：“你们难道就没有想过，如果一直这样下去的话，你们的实力可能跟不上现在的时代趋势、可能满足不了他对于你们这些人实力的需要？”
“这并不难理解，就好像打游戏一样，前面的区域都可能需要等级提升上来才能探索。哪怕你们现在按部就班地变强，但是日后你们肯定会面对越来越多难以处理、甚至于吃力应对的家伙。”
扭过头去，荀墨意味深长地看着祁光：“到那个时候，恐怕你们就会被后面加进来的家伙给取代了。”
这句话说得丁炎微微一颤。
是啊。
就跟荀墨说的一样，如果他们继续这样下去、那么他们可能会被慢慢淘汰掉。
这当然不可能是先知的意思，到目前为止先知都尽心尽力地培养他们，并且努力地让他们变得比原本的他们更加强大。
但是先知并不是全知，这也是先知自己亲口说过的。
他能够看到一年、看到两年、看到十年，但是他可能会看到十五年，二十年后吗？ 哪怕他现在这么培养着自己，但是假如在他看到的未来之外，出现了一个自己完全不能够应付，而其它人能够应付的情况，那会怎么样？ 甚至于如果未来，自己的实力就像是那些连载在网站上的小说一样，前期可能是惊才绝艳的天才，但是小说后期却成为了只配给其他天才当垫子的垫脚石……
而这很明显都是在先知的预料之外的。
就算自己现在还是在走着先知给自己设下的道路，但是那仅仅只是力量的精进，在其他的方面、丁炎其实基本没有成长。
他已经习惯了依赖先知的预言，而忘记了有的时候先知能够看到的东西也不是全部，在特定的场合，可能也需要自己的思考。
假如未来出现这样的情况，并且需要一个人去应付问题的时候，丁炎就会被另外一个更加优秀的人给刷下来。
Then he became an insignificant pawn in the torrent of the future.
Is this what he wants? Ding Yan asked himself.
He quickly came up with the answer.
"Of course not!"
Holding the gun barrel, Ding Yan took a deep breath.
'From the beginning, what I wanted has never changed - from a very young age, I hoped that one day I could become a light that can illuminate others! '
This sentence may be a little stupid, but it is indeed a reflection of Ding Yan's inner thoughts.
He has always been like this, whether it was two months ago or now, two months later!
Looking at the gloomy sky, Ding Yan felt his mind was more peaceful than ever before: "Yes, although the prophet has predicted everything, prophecy is not omnipotent. Sometimes, our own power is also a variable."
'If I can improve myself, I can make my variable value bigger, and then the prophet can predict me more easily. Just this tiny point may save a few more tragedies! '
What he wanted was to be able to stand in front of everyone like a hero and block the landslide and flood, instead of standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the unfathomable mountain stream and crying, regretting and sighing for his own strength! So.
Ding Yan looked through the sight.
Xun Mo in front looked at him and smiled.
The next second, he slammed the accelerator, then grabbed the steering wheel tightly and turned a big circle! The heavy jeep was like a long, brisk sword, drawing a beautiful arc on the wide road, like a blade slashing a waterfall, cutting off the rushing water in the blink of an eye! The headlights shone brightly, shining into a small building in the distance.
There, a hairy, ape-like monster stared blankly at the jeep that suddenly swerved sideways in front of it.
This is……
Before it could react, the ape monster felt a creepy chill in the next second!
This is... the feeling of being targeted! It suddenly raised its head and stared at Xun Mo at the front of the car.
However, Xun Mo just stretched out a finger and flashed it at the other party.
In this extremely short microsecond, the ape monster noticed that Xun Mo stretched out a gesture that could be made with just one finger...an international friendly gesture.
Such pure provocation did not yet have time to anger the ape monster.
The next moment, in front of the back seat of a speeding jeep.
A black gun barrel was pointed at it.
The barrel of the gun spewed out a fanatical flame, just like a red lotus rising brilliantly from the depths of the earth, blooming with scarlet sparks of destruction in the air.
A bullet went straight through its mouth, and without any reduction in the impact force, it hit the wall behind it again.
Covering his face, the ape-man monster stood there in a daze.
After a long time, a jeep suddenly whizzed past in front of him, raising a cloud of sand.
It fell heavily to the ground with the roar of the engine, and blood spilled on the smooth marble floor.
At the end of his life, the ape monster thought blankly: "Didn't they say that Xun Mo was the one who used the gun?"
'I've noticed it, why are others shooting at me? ? '
With this pure question in mind, the monster lay on the ground with its eyes open, and all the white hair on its body stood up limply.
In the last scene of its vision, there was only the silhouette of the green jeep going farther and farther away. - In the dark corridor.
The golden-haired Lionheart King glanced at the shadow in front of him.
"Well?" he said. "The Pale Lady..."
His voice sounded somewhat anxious.
There is really no way not to be anxious.
After all, what the Pale Lady is seeking is something that countless alien species dream of in their lifetime.
Transcend...the constraints of "time"!
In the shadow beside him, after a moment, a voice that could not be distinguished as male or female laughed and said, "Be patient, Your Majesty."
"Our lovely girl is still making intensive preparations," the voice said slowly, "The prophecy has proved this. There is no doubt that my prophecy is extremely accurate and has never missed a beat."
"After this day, the Pale Lady will become the new 'Origin'. By then, our era will truly arrive, and time will also reveal a loose gap, not big, but at least enough for us to break free."
Leaning against the wall, the voice said with a leisurely tone: "Yes, that's what my prophecy said."
"There is absolutely no possibility of omission, and there is no possibility of the slightest deviation..."
In the silence, the voice spoke calmly: "Because these established things have already become a 'reality' that is worthy of being written down hundreds of years ago!"
