Chapter 185 Say something!
The wind was cold and the red moon hanging high in the sky had faded in color at some point, as if it was about to disappear. Even the dark clouds suddenly dispersed. As time passed, a scorching red sun finally replaced the moon one morning, bringing the long-awaited warmth.
The warm sunshine falls on my body, but it doesn't make me feel any warmth at all, only an indescribable coldness.
The observer on the defense wall had been on guard all night. When he saw the sun rise, his face changed drastically and he immediately ran to report the situation in a panic: "It's bad, Director! The red moon has really disappeared!!!"
The red moon disappeared, which not only meant that the Wanderer's attack was about to come, but also meant that the Sky City would be closed soon.
Even though Lu Yan had informed the team in advance, many people still panicked when the moment actually arrived. Although they had assembled a team of nearly a thousand psychics and trained to hunt Wanderers under Lu Yan's leadership every day, they were still newcomers and felt somewhat uneasy.
Lu Yan knew very well that he was the backbone at this moment and must not panic. He deployed the team in an orderly manner, evacuated the crowd to a safe place, distributed sufficient supplies and water at one time, put them on high alert for a few days, and then continued to transform ordinary people into people with special powers.
Meng Xichuan asked curiously, "Captain, Sky City is about to be closed. You don't really plan to stay in Devil City, do you? I thought you were just helping them build a team and then retiring."
Lu Yan's face twitched when he mentioned this. He really thought so at first. After all, his brother and his target were in the Sky City. If the gate was sealed, he would not be able to get in. He could not abandon his family. But he did not expect that Lu Xiaozhao was captured by the Wanderer. The last branch mission of the City of Hope released by the system was to let him lead the people of the Devil City to resist the Wanderer and survive successfully. What is the difference between this and rushing to the shelves? !
[If the mission is successful, you will be rewarded with the special item "God's Prayer", and if the mission fails, you will be wiped out. 】
[You're going to die anyway, so you might as well give it a try.]
This is just some nonsense from the system.
Lu Yan suppressed his inner feeling of being screwed and forced a smile, "It's okay, it's what I should do. But you guys, Sky City is about to be closed, why don't you hurry back."
He originally dragged Meng Xichuan and the others over simply to form a team and make up the numbers. They all had Sky City residence permits, so there was no need for them to stay in Devil City and wait to die.
Meng Xichuan refused: "I'm not going back. My Wind Team members have all reached 100, and I can't just leave them outside. Besides, the teachers are all in the lab helping to prepare recovery potions, so it's not appropriate for me to hide in there."
Professor Mo has moved out of the Sky City and built a temporary laboratory in the building to prepare recovery potions. When the supernatural power is exhausted, drink a tube and your physical strength will be restored by at least 80%. Unfortunately, the quantity is limited and each person can only get one tube.
Lu Yan still wanted to persuade him to go back: "This battle is really dangerous, and I am not sure I can win. Your parents are in Sky City. If you don't go back, they will definitely be sad."
When Meng Xichuan heard him mention the Sky City, he crossed his arms and said in disapproval, "I don't believe that people can live in the sky all their lives. Even birds have to land and rest. The number of superpowers in the Devil City is already more than that in the Sky City. If we can't stop the wanderers, they can't stop them either. The teacher said that the damn shield can only block low-level impacts. A high-level collision will be the end. They are like idiots, really expecting that shield to protect the whole city."
Lu Yan was happy: "You are quite open-minded. Unfortunately, the director is too cautious and will not agree to cooperate with us to fight against the wanderers. Otherwise, our chances of winning would be better."
As they were talking, several helicopters suddenly flew over their heads. They were the team Lu Yan had sent out for observation. Chen Yan grabbed the ladder and jumped down when he was still seven or eight meters from the ground. He walked forward with a serious look and said, "It's bad, Captain. There's movement in the contaminated area. The wanderers there are gathering in large numbers and heading towards the Sky City. They'll be there in half an hour!"
Lu Yan's face froze when he heard this: "Immediately prepare the team for battle, and have everyone hide in the building and never come out!"
"yes!"
They had rehearsed the attacks of the Wanderers many times. As soon as the order was passed down, all team members entered combat mode. The Fire Team, which was suitable for group attacks, was in the front, followed by the Wind Team and the Gold Team who provided support. The Ice Team was lying in ambush around the streets and alleys, cooperating with the Water Team. The Earth Team and the Wood Team worked together to set traps. The entire streets and alleys of Yunduan Road were filled with people with special powers.
At the same time, Sky City also received the news. Countless psychics stood on the defense wall, ready to meet the enemy. Xing Yuan was among them. He saw the soldiers connecting to the energy batteries one by one, ready to seal the last entrance and exit. His eyes fell on Lu Yan, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Finally, he suddenly pushed away the soldiers blocking the way in front of him, and jumped down the defense wall neatly amid the screams of Luoyang and others. The corners of his black clothes rustled, like a falcon spreading its wings.
"Xing Yuan! Are you crazy? Come up quickly!"
"The city is about to be closed! What are you doing?!"
Xing Yuan ignored the shouting behind him, put one hand in his pocket and walked straight towards Lu Yan's direction. He turned his back to Luo Yang and waved at them, with a casual attitude -
It was obvious that he had no intention of returning to Sky City.
Lu Yan knew Xing Yuan would come, but when he saw him jumping down from the defense wall, he couldn't help but smile. He walked quickly to Xing Yuan, pulled him into his arms, hugged him tightly, and whispered in his ear: "Think about it, you can't go back once you come down."
Xing Yuan didn't expect Lu Yan to hug him in public. He turned his head away a little uncomfortably. He curled his lips slightly and said nonchalantly, "It's not a good place. If you can't go back, then you can't go back."
He is a wanderer anyway, it doesn't matter where he is.
Most of the time, Lu Yan's smile was hidden in his eyes, making it hard for people to see it. But at this moment, Xing Yuan could hear his heartbeat through the thin clothes. It was strong and joyful, and he said as if promising, "I will protect you."
protect?
Xing Yuan wondered if he needed the protection of a fragile human being. This feeling was strange, but not unpleasant. He kept saying:
"I don't need your protection, just protect yourself."
Lu Yan had reached level six a few days ago. Xing Yuan didn't know that he had a conversion card. He decided to stay away from the opponent when the battle started, so as to avoid the two of them using their ultimate skills at the same time, as one of them would fail.
“Boom——!”
Towards afternoon, there was a sudden roar in the sky, but it was not thunder, but a swarm of wanderers flying in the distance. Their black bodies were densely packed together, without any distinction between you and me. At first glance, it looked like a pool of thick black ink accidentally poured into the sky, and then devoured the remaining light at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The sounds of the wind and roars caused by their flight gathered together, making a sound similar to rolling thunder and lightning. For a moment, it seemed as if the entire city was shaking, with a momentum that covered the sky and the sun.
Someone shouted heartbreakingly: "The wanderers have attacked the city!!!"
This sentence triggered a chain reaction. Sky City immediately opened the protective shield to isolate the outside world. The Devil City's superpower team rushed up immediately. They formed teams according to categories. Hundreds of fire superpowers attacked at the same time. A large sea of fire rose to the sky. The wind team helped control the direction of the flames from behind. Thick smoke billowed, and the wanderers in front were quickly burned to ashes.
Lu Yan and Xing Yuan jumped to the top of the building, one on the left and the other on the right, and began to summon lightning at the same time. The power of the two sixth-level masters attacking together can be imagined, and it is no exaggeration to say that the wind and clouds changed color. Xing Yuan was worried at first that some of them would not be able to summon enough lightning elements, but he did not expect that both he and Lu Yan's attacks were smooth, so he was slightly relieved and began to deal with the waves of wanderers in front of them wholeheartedly.
Xiaorou was also among the group of wanderers. She struggled to avoid the supernatural powers coming from all around while flying towards Xing Yuan. Although she did not transform into a human form, her anxious voice still made Xing Yuan recognize her: "Xing Yuan! It's bad! The priest has started to force the reincarnation ritual. Lu Xiaozhao is in danger!"
Xing Yuan's expression changed instantly when he heard this: "What did you say?! The reincarnation ceremony hasn't even started yet, how could he possibly start it in advance?!"
Xiaorou was hovering in the sky anxiously: "I don't know what happened, I only know that the priest's spirit seemed to be injured and must be reincarnated in advance. They are all gathered inside, I dare not go in, so I can only come to you to report the news!"
Xing Yuan said in a gloomy tone: "This old immortal thing!"
He glanced at Lu Yan from a distance and saw that he was still holding on with the help of the superpower team. He simply took advantage of the black mist to change his original form and headed straight towards the contaminated area.
The first batch of wanderers sent by the priest were all small fry. The real high-level wanderers gathered in the dark cave to protect him. The red magma was bubbling wildly, and it looked hotter than before. The priest's originally old and kind voice also changed due to anger, and his hair and beard stood up in anger:
"How dare you harm my spirit! I will kill you! Kill you!!!! I will immediately pull out his soul and beat him to ashes! Immediately!!"
Next to the magma pool, Lu Xiaozhao was tied up and thrown on the ground, with a ball of black mist stuffed in his mouth, choking and unable to speak. Today, he was wandering around in the cave like before, trying to find a chance to escape, but he didn't expect that almost 70% of the wanderers were sent to attack the city, and the underground passage was unguarded, so Lu Xiaozhao broke into a basement in a daze.
There was nothing in the basement except the corpse of an old man. The more Lu Xiaozhao looked at the corpse, the more he felt that it looked like a priest, so he couldn't help but reach out and touch it. However, the corpse had been weathered and brittle after nearly a hundred years. When Lu Xiaozhao touched it, the thin outer energy shield shattered instantly, and the corpse came into contact with the cold and corrosive breath in the cave, and was directly reduced to ashes.
Turned to ashes.
Gray.
.
Then he was tied here.
It is said that the corpse is the priest's current parasite, and it could have lasted for a month until the reincarnation ceremony. But now that it was damaged by Lu Xiaozhao, his soul has lost its storage container and must be reincarnated early, which means that the priest's energy will be greatly reduced, which is why he is so angry.
How could there be such a wicked person like him in the world!
Lu Xiaozhao's eyes went dark, and he thought he might die here today. He glanced to his side casually, and suddenly found that No. 2 was also standing by the magma pool. The black mist on his body was thicker than that of the other wanderers, so he was easy to identify. The pair of red eyes that seemed to be gloating made him even easier to recognize.
Lu Xiaozhao was so angry that his teeth itched. He was almost dead, and No. 2 was still there watching the fun! Even if he died today, he had to drag a wanderer into the water, just to get rid of the harm for the people and reduce the burden on his brother!
"Woo woo woo!"
Lu Xiaozhao seemed to have something to say. He struggled violently and tried to move to the side.
Number Two had a bad feeling and dodged to the side without leaving a trace. He cursed in his heart, "Why is this damn human staring at him? Making him seem like he's in on it!"
Number 2 moved to the left, and Lu Xiaozhao also moved to the left.
Number 2 moved to the right, and Lu Xiaozhao also moved to the right.
Number Two stood still, and Lu Xiaozhao looked at him with tears in his eyes.
Finally, the priest realized something was wrong. He released the restraint on Lu Xiaozhao's mouth and said in a dark and vicious voice, "Tell me, was someone instructing you to harm the spirit?!"
Lu Xiaozhao ignored him and turned his head to look at No. 2 with a wronged look:
"Second brother, say something!"
Number Two was shocked: “????”
