Chapter 218: Beasts Galloping
Without Xiao Li's translation, Qiao Lan couldn't quite understand Cha Cha's gestures. But he did get the idea. Damn, this dog not only attacked the messenger to avenge himself, but also attacked the Holy Spirit?
"I asked you to seek revenge, not to gamble your life! Safety comes first, don't you understand?"
Qiao Lan angrily slapped Xiaogouzi twice.
He didn't use much strength, and only touched it twice in the end. The warrior who had just made a contribution was reluctant to fight.
She dismissed the puppy's request for more space.
Her current ability can only divide up a few square meters of space, and she can't do more.
"Woo woo woo! Bloop!"
Cha Cha continued to act coquettishly, wanting all the spoils and not wanting to share them with Qiao Lan.
"I agree, you little greedy dog."
Although Qiao Lan coveted those high-level crystal cores, whose purity was comparable to the ones Wen Jiaojiao had given her in her previous life, she doted on Cha Cha and left them all to him. This dog had many flaws, but she was indeed a bit tough. She declared Cha Cha her new favorite.
"Woo woo woo, woof woof~"
Cha Cha rubbed Qiao Lan a few times, very happy. Then it took out the energy barrel and pushed it in front of Qiao Lan.
——This is a gift from this dog to its owner!
The owner was very considerate and didn't compete with it for the spoils, so he would be very generous. Anyway, the barrel was difficult for it to operate with its claws, so I gave it to the owner.
"Oh, thank you."
Qiao Lan put away the cannon barrel and moved forward a little further with the dog and the gecko. Only after he was sure that it was safe and his strength had mostly recovered did he return to the ground.
It was already dusk.
This area is the radiation range of the Crimson Dawn base.
The sounds of fighting and gunfire could be heard from far and near, with battles taking place in all directions.
There were two groups of people fighting on the street in the distance. Qiao Lan found a place to hide, took out his sniper rifle and took aim. Seeing that there were some temple believers, he fired several shots in a row and quickly killed those believers.
It was easy for her to deal with these low-level temple warriors.
The members of the combat team at the Crimson Dawn base were shocked and bewildered as they watched their somewhat formidable enemy suddenly die before their eyes.
I turned around and looked for the person following the sound of gunfire, but saw no one.
Qiao Lan had already put away his gun and left.
It was just to kill a few enemies, she didn't want to meet anyone at the base yet.
"Where are you? I'm on Hongqi 3rd Road." She used the communicator to contact her companions.
"There are still two streets to go. I'm on Hongqi Road." Hou Tian's voice came from the other end.
"I'll come find you. We'll meet at the southeast intersection."
"good."
Twenty minutes later, the two met.
Hou Tian was running out of breath and looked very ashamed.
After listening to Qiao Lan's brief account of how he infiltrated the Temple base, he felt even more ashamed.
He and Qiao Lan went into the city together, and agreed to seek revenge on the Temple together, but now... Qiao Lan has turned the Temple upside down, and he has accomplished nothing from beginning to end.
Initially, when Qiao Lan disguised himself and infiltrated the temple, they had agreed that he would not go in with them, but would instead provide support from outside, ready for any emergencies. But then… what Qiao Lan did inside was beyond his ability to manage. Qiao Lan contacted him while escaping, and he had no choice but to follow in his direction. Fortunately, no one in the temple was pursuing him, so he had a safe journey.
"I..." Hou Tian hesitated.
As soon as Qiao Lan saw his expression, she knew what he was thinking.
So he comforted her, "Maybe next time. It seems that the White Bone Demon surnamed Zhang is still alive. Maybe next time you have a chance, you can kill her with your own hands."
Hou Tian's wrinkled face immediately became solemn, and he clenched his fist and said, "Okay!"
That White Bone Demon is the enemy who killed his brothers!
"I don't know when the fighting between the two sides will stop, and I don't know which side will win." Qiao Lan listened to the sounds of fighting in the distance, and his expression suddenly darkened. "Who will survive in the end at the Bloody Dawn Base?"
Hou Tian was puzzled: "Do you still miss them? They drove you away..."
"I just thought of two acquaintances and hoped they were safe."
At this time, the two were in the ruins of a hidden place, and Qiao Lan released Lao Guo's body.
Now she knew why Lao Guo's chest was so flat.
When Xiao Tang hit her, the body disguised as a gecko's broken tail was flattened.
Lao Guo is like this, it must be Xiao Tang who did it.
Qiao Lan suppressed the gloom in his heart and said, "Uncle Guo's wife and daughter are still at the base. I wonder how they are doing now."
"Woo woo woo!"
Cha Cha poked her little head out of her arms, signaling her owner to contact the parrot at the base, or wait for it to dive back and help find someone.
Hou Tian didn't say anything, but just looked at Lao Guo's body with a blank look in his eyes.
"Did you get scared?" Qiao Lan was about to take Lao Guo back to the space.
But he was held down by Hou Tian.
"How long has he been dead? Maybe... I can think of a way." He lifted up Lao Guo's swollen eyelids and checked his pupils.
Qiao Lan was shocked.
I felt incredibly happy, but then I felt depressed again.
"Could it be that your healing ability, besides healing wounds, can also bring the dead back to life? But every time you heal someone, you age. If you could really bring the dead back to life, wouldn't you be killed by the backlash?"
Hou Tian carefully examined Lao Guo's eyes and then placed his palm on Lao Guo's chest.
His chest was flat as paper, and he released a warm energy.
After a while, Qiao Lan didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the paper seemed to have become thicker.
Hou Tian withdrew his hand, and there was an obvious tuft of gray hair on his head that turned white quickly, which obviously showed that he had consumed a lot of energy.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Unless I have the assistance of very pure and high-quality high-level crystal cores, at least ten or more, I can support and replenish my consumption."
Qiao Lan was worried and shocked: "You can really resurrect him?!"
"I think he's been dead for less than a day. I can try. If it's been more than a day, there's nothing I can do."
"But won't you be in danger?"
"I need crystal cores, very high-quality ones. The reason I've been aging is because I haven't replenished my crystal cores enough. If I could, the aging process would be offset."
Qiao Lan was practically ecstatic. Was there still hope for Old Guo to survive?!
But I'm really worried about Hou Tian. If the price of Lao Guo's resurrection is Hou Tian's death from old age...
"Don't worry, I haven't avenged myself yet, and I won't joke with my life." Hou Tian said with a smile.
At this moment, the communicator in Qiao Lan's pocket suddenly vibrated.
"Sister Lan! Where are you? We are going into the city!" After the call was connected, Xiao Li's cheerful voice came from the other end.
"The intersection of Hongqi 3rd Road. What are you doing in the city?"
Qiao Lan was stunned.
When she left, they agreed that if she didn't return within three days, her companions would continue on their journey and go somewhere further away from City C.
But why did they enter the city?
"Okay, sister, just stay over there and don't move. We'll be right there!"
Xiao Li hung up the phone happily.
It doesn't sound like you're in trouble.
Qiao Lan stayed where he was, and just when he was trying to persuade Cha Cha to contribute the pile of high-quality crystal cores that she had seized, a gray pigeon fluttered into the broken window.
"Cuckoo!"
The pigeons flapped their wings to indicate that others would be arriving soon.
Qiao Lan put away Lao Guo and followed the pigeon to a nearby higher ground, looking towards the south.
“?!”
What is that?
Under the glow of the setting sun, a large group of shadows appeared densely packed on the distant streets.
There are countless animals.
Some were flying in the sky, some were running on the ground, and some were jumping around on the ruins.
A faint, rumbling sound came from the ground, which was the vibration of the footsteps of a group of galloping beasts.
