Chapter 92: Two Moons in the Same Sky
The opponent did not continue to attack. Relying on my more sensitive senses than others, I could not find his position. I exchanged glances with Chen Yubing and decided to continue moving forward.
After encountering such an attack, we became more cautious in the following operations and the team atmosphere became more solemn.
Just like that, we arrived at a cafe only three kilometers away from our destination.
There were no further attacks along the way, and although there had been some near misses, no one was injured when we arrived at the cafe.
By this time it was already dark. In order to ensure that we were in the best condition for tomorrow's operation, Chen Yubing directed us to go into the cafe to rest.
Looking at the dark environment around us, we can't completely relax even if we want to take a break.
The outside world is different from the Investigation Bureau base. When night falls, there will be more unknown dangers and anomalies lurking outside.
And the journey from where we were attacked to here has been so peaceful.
It was so quiet that it was even a little eerie.
Although it is only two kilometers, it is basically impossible to have no sound in the city center, even in the end of the world.
There is not even any wind.
Anxiety spread in my heart.
Just as my thoughts were in a state of confusion, Chen Yubing's voice came from behind me.
"Ji Ling, go and take a rest. I'll stand guard now."
When I heard that Chen Yubing was going to stand guard, I frowned.
When she came to me, I looked into her eyes and asked her.
"Did Lin Hanning help you regain your abilities?"
After hearing what I said, Chen Yubing shook his head.
"No."
Hearing Chen Yubing's words, I sighed helplessly.
No matter what Lin Hanning's reason was, whether he was unwilling or really unable to do anything, the fact that Chen Yubing could not use his ability was quite tricky at the moment.
Without even thinking, I rejected Chen Yubing's proposal:
"You go and rest, I'm in good condition now."
Although she still has a lot of powerful equipment, but she has no abilities, which means she is in more danger.
Chen Yubing is the commander of this mission. I cannot refuse an order of right and wrong, nor can I persuade her to withdraw from the mission, but I can still refuse to stand guard.
Chen Yubing's face turned bitter when she heard my rejection. Although she knew that I was thinking about her, this feeling was still a little uncomfortable for Chen Yubing, who was known for her strong character.
But she did not insist on her opinion. She sighed slightly and returned to the rest area.
Seeing Chen Yubing went back to rest, I continued to look around.
A few hours later, Jiang Wang came towards me:
"You've been keeping watch for a long time. Let me do it. Save some energy. We have to travel tomorrow."
I nodded without refusing, turned around and walked to my seat to rest.
Because it was too dark, such an environment was not conducive to movement. Even though I couldn't sleep, I tried my best to calm down and rest.
Jiang Wang’s rotation time cannot be wasted.
Maybe I was really tired. As soon as I sat down, I felt my eyelids become heavy and sleepiness came like a flood.
Before I knew it, my vision went completely dark.
When I woke up again, I found myself in a city shrouded in thick fog. I couldn't see any of the buildings in the city clearly. The only thing I could see clearly was the blood-red moon above my head.
The blood-red moon cast a crimson light over the surroundings, which made me want to stare at it.
Just as my attention was attracted by the blood moon, the same light source seemed to appear in another part of the night sky.
I subconsciously moved my gaze over and saw another moon suddenly appear in the night sky. The only difference from the blood moon was that this moon was white.
Two moons?
Although the other moon is white like the normal moon, it is such a white color that it makes the hairs on my body stand up.
At the same time, bursts of sobbing were heard all around.
The sound was sometimes far away and sometimes near, and even if I concentrated, I couldn't tell where the source of the sound was.
The voice was so resentful and weeping that it made my hair stand on end.
I shuddered all over and quickly looked away, but after that, my attention was attracted by the blood moon again.
Tick-tock——
A drop of water fell on my face, and I subconsciously reached out to wipe it, and my fingers were stained bright red.
The red liquid was thick and had a faint fishy smell.
This is……
At this time, more water drops fell on my face, and a bloody rain began to fall from the sky.
As the rain fell, I suddenly felt a burning sensation on my skin where it touched the rain.
When I raised my arm, I saw that the skin was ulcerated.
As the rain grew heavier, not only my skin was corroded, but my flesh and blood were also corroded.
Soon I couldn't help but scream out because of the severe pain that spread throughout my body.
"ah!"
When I shouted this, I was suddenly awakened from my sleep.
After opening my eyes, Lin Hanning's face appeared in my sight.
She jumped up at my shouting.
Similarly, my voice also attracted Jiang Wang and the others.
"Ji Ling, what's wrong with you?"
I stared blankly at the scene around me. In the darkness, the only light source was the glow sticks we carried with us at all times.
Several teammates looked at me with confusion and concern.
At this moment, I was still a little dazed. I looked up at the sky and saw only a dark ceiling.
There was no moon at all. I listened carefully to the noise outside, but there was no sound of rain.
"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare." I rubbed my throbbing temples and let out a long sigh.
Seeing that everyone was there and there was nothing unusual around, my heart calmed down a little.
"Just when I was about to wake you up, you suddenly yelled."
Lin Hanning also ran over to explain to me.
"I'm sorry."
Seeing how scared Lin Hanning was, I felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, Chen Yubing said:
"Okay, now is not the time to apologize, Ji Ling, we are in trouble now."
Hearing Chen Yubing's words
"What trouble?"
"Come with me."
After Chen Yubing finished speaking, he pulled me to the door.
Looking from outside the house at this time, a layer of fog was floating on the street.
Because every anomaly is accompanied by fog, we are very sensitive to fog.
But the fog was not too thick, and we could still see the moonlight shining from above.
etc.
moonlight?
I remember that there was no moon before I rested.
The two moons in my dream suddenly appeared in my mind, making me feel even more uneasy.
In order to verify my guess, I hurried to the street.
As soon as I stepped onto the street, my hair stood on end.
Looking up at the sky, a pale full moon hung high in the sky.
When I saw the moon, my breath suddenly stopped.
That familiar feeling of fear made my legs tremble uncontrollably.
Fortunately, this feeling of fear subsided after a few breaths.
Just as the feeling faded, my knees gave way and I fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yubing quickly came to my side.
Looking at me sitting on the ground gasping for breath, she asked anxiously, "Ji Ling, what's wrong with you?"
After forcing myself to catch my breath, I stammered to Chen Yubing, "I, I'm fine."
Even though I said I was fine, my current condition didn't look like it at all.
Chen Yubing looked around and found that the fog around her was gradually getting thicker.
Knowing the danger of the thick fog, Chen Yubing quickly pulled me into the cafe.
After entering the coffee shop, Chen Yubing saw that I had not yet recovered and my body was still trembling slightly.
She grabbed my shoulders and asked me again, "Ji Ling, tell me the truth, what happened?"
Jiang Wang and Lin Hanning noticed that something was wrong with me and hurried over.
Because something was wrong with me, Lin Hanning put his hand directly on my forehead.
After feeling the warmth coming from Lin Hanning's palm, I slowly recovered.
Seeing my teammates' anxious expressions, I hesitated for a moment and prepared to tell them.
"This environment outside, I just dreamed about it."
After hearing what I said, Jiang Wang scratched his head and said, "Ji Ling, what do you mean?"
Seeing that my teammates looked confused, I told them everything I had dreamed about.
"So the white moon you dreamed of is now outside?"
After listening to what I said, Chen Yubing asked me a question first.
"I'm not sure if the moon outside is the one I dreamed of, but the moment I saw it, I felt a sense of fear that I couldn't mistake."
Although I can't guarantee that the dream I had is real, I know that the feeling that chills me to the bone will not lie.
After hearing what I said, the other three fell silent, seemingly thinking about the authenticity of my dream.
It was Jiang Wang who broke the silence and asked me another question.
"Ji Ling, didn't you say there was another blood moon?"
"yes."
“But we didn’t see it just now.”
To be honest, when I just went out, I subconsciously looked for the blood moon in my dream, but I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked.
This difference also makes me doubt the authenticity of my dream. After all, it is just a dream.
But soon, I no longer dared to doubt the authenticity of this dream.
Because something unexpected happened outside, the nerves of the four of us were on edge at this moment.
Jiang Wang also scattered his own flesh and blood around the coffee shop. As long as any abnormal unit touched this flesh and blood, Jiang Wang would be able to sense it immediately.
He only realized this ability after experiencing mental suppression yesterday.
In Jiang Wang's words, this is his "seed of flesh and blood."
After making all preparations to meet the enemy, time began to slow down.
This kind of waiting is the most exhausting.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when we were getting a little impatient, I noticed that the fog outside seemed to be a little red.
It was as if a red light was shining outside the house.
Red light.
Blood moon.
I looked up suddenly.
At this time, Jiang Wang's voice came from the side.
"Ji Ling, the blood moon you mentioned really appeared, and the white moon is also in the sky..."
When I heard his words, I quickly turned around and looked at him.
It turned out that Jiang Wang was confused because the fog turned red, so he secretly ran to the window, opened the glass and stuck his head out to look outside.
Jiang Wang’s words suddenly reminded me of a sentence.
When two moons appear in the same sky, there will be great chaos.
I have heard this sentence in some middle school film and television works in the past, but as a young man of the new era who has received higher education, I certainly know that this is impossible.
What is that extra moon?
In addition, I saw the horrific blood rain falling in my dream.
At this moment, I am certain that what we are facing now will be the biggest trouble since the end of the world.
Just as my thoughts were racing, Jiang Wang was staring at the sky in a daze.
Seeing him like this, I quickly shouted at him.
"Jiang Wang, don't look! Come back quickly."
But my calling had no effect on him.
At this moment, he seemed to have been bewitched.
In order to avoid further complications, I quickly went to his side and kicked him away from the window.
Even though I kicked Jiang Wang away, he still couldn't come to his senses.
Fortunately, we have Lin Hanning. Lin Hanning frowned, took a step forward, and put his hand on his forehead. With Lin Hanning's ability, Jiang Wang slowly came back to his senses.
But Jiang Wang, who had just come to his senses, screamed.
His voice was so loud that it hurt my eardrums a little.
After shouting, he crawled under the table trembling.
And he was shaking and crying under the table, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in his life in just those few seconds.
Seeing Jiang Wang like this, I quickly went forward and squatted down to see what was going on with him.
"Jiang Wang, wake up, this is a coffee shop."
"What kind of cafe is this? Where is there a cafe?"
When Jiang Wang answered me, his words were a little incoherent.
Seeing him like this, I slapped my forehead in frustration.
I should have stopped Jiang Wang earlier. Who knows what’s going on with those two moons.
But this guy was really too reckless. He actually went out without saying hello.
And I originally thought that Lin Hanning could use her ability to wake Jiang Wang up, but who knew that the awakened Jiang Wang would become like this.
Until now, I have a deeper understanding that superpowers are not omnipotent.
Seeing him like this, I really have a headache.
Now Chen Yubing can't use his abilities, Jiang Wang is unconscious, and it's such a horrible scene outside. Our situation is not optimistic.
At this moment, Chen Yubing spoke again.
"Ji Ling, let's retreat quickly, the fog is coming in."
When I heard Chen Yubing's words, I quickly looked towards the door.
The doorway, which was once clearly visible, was now shrouded in fog.
This had never happened before, and I frowned.
"Put on your gas mask and open the valve on the mask. This fog is wrong."
I whispered a warning, and at the same time pulled Jiang Wang over and forced the gas mask onto his face.
