Cannon Fodder Counterattack System (Twenty-One)

However, no one responded to his question.

Most of the monsters that were dispersed by Cui Lan's sword have swarmed up again.

Those monsters that had broken into pieces under the silver light fell into the quicksand and pieced together, quickly recovering to their original intact state.

“…”

The two people who were just blaming each other looked at each other, stretched out their long legs and started running again.

"Now is not the time to talk, run!"

Cui Lan grabbed Shang Li by the back of his collar, and most of the body of the 20-year-old man was immediately blown up by the wind caused by the high-speed movement, flying along the sand like a ribbon in the hands of a gymnast.

"I remember you, you are the big brother with silver eyes from more than ten years ago!"

"Shang Li" grabbed the collar that was stuck on his Adam's apple with both hands, raised his head and said excitedly to Cui Lan.

It seems to be the same timeline. This guy is Shang Li who asked him to leave a letter filled with exercise books.

It still feels weird to call a young man in his twenties "Little Shang Li". Since he is the Shang Li from the second timeline that I know, I might as well just call him No. 2.

The pixel man floating nearby decided on a nickname in his mind, and once again split into more than a dozen small clones, who were guarding the surroundings with the silver pixel swords obtained through "networking".

One of the little clones came up to No. 2, pointed at himself curiously and asked:

"What about me? What about me?"

Number Two looked at the ghost in front of him and asked straightforwardly, "Who are you?"

“Tsk.”

The clone floated away in disappointment, allowing the monster that was approaching to bite No. 2's calf, tearing it into a bloody mess.

"Hello! Hello!"

Number Two used his other foot to kick the strange creature that looked like a lamprey, but he couldn't kick it off.

Seeing that the monster's entire head was about to bury itself in his flesh, he quickly gave in with tears in the pain of bone-eating, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"Brother Ghost, save me, save me!"

Shang Li's cube hand turned into a "convex" shape and said disdainfully: "Can't you use your supernatural power to save yourself?"

Number Two immediately wailed, "That can only be done in a technologically advanced place. Where can I find a network to use my supernatural powers in a place that's no different from a primitive desert?"

“…”

Shang Li poked the lamprey away.

"Thank you, brother!"

Number Two thanked him without hesitation, and then quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, brother, I really didn't remember who you are."

"It's OK."

Shang Li responded grimly, "It's correct that you can't remember."

Number Two: “?”

Faced with his confusion, the ghost did not give an explanation, but continued to poke the monsters that were chasing him.

After all, the same identity cannot exist in the same timeline at the same time. Shang Li is holding the identity card 031 at the moment, which is why he was able to successfully avoid the collapse. Naturally, he does not expect No. 2 to give any answer that can confirm his identity.

He was simply looking for an excuse to let a monster in to bite people and test their strength.

Even the pain is a super-magnified version processed by supernatural powers.

In the end, all I got was a cry for mercy.

Tsk tsk, how embarrassing.

Shang Li thought.

By the way, how does Xiao Jiang live in this timeline?

Could it be that he...

"Hey, you two."

Cui Lan, who was running in the front, panted and pleaded, "You have time to chat, but no time to do your work?"

"Oh yeah, running like this is not an option!"

Number Two just remembered at this moment, his entire face had turned purple due to the pulling of his neck, "I know a place that is absolutely safe!"

"say."

"Stele, look for the stele with the white ribbon!"

He shouted: "The owner of these rifts created an independent space with them, and the monsters can't get there!"

Stone tablet?

Isn't that where they were just now?

Shang Li took the opportunity to check when Jiang Mingyu had just escaped and the monsters had not yet completely caught up with him.

No matter what method is used, there is no reaction. Most of the time, the person has recognized his master.

The ghost's pixel sword poked No. 2's nose. "How did you know?"

Number Two gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said, "I've been there, and that person gave me some authority."

“…”

Shang Li looked at Cui Lan who was turning around, and then changed direction.

The two of them fought their way in and out of the monster pile, but after following their memories for a long time, they still couldn't find any trace of the stone tablet.

The traces that were once left behind had long since disappeared amidst the tossing and turning of the surrounding monsters, as if no one had ever visited.

Shang Li sat on Cui Lan's shoulder, turned his head and asked, "Do you want to continue looking?"

"No, we can't stay any longer."

As soon as the words fell, a roar with powerful pressure instantly permeated the entire desert rift.

“Boom boom—”

The largest sand dune in the distance began to shake violently, and golden sand began to slide down from the top, revealing the scales underneath.

A strange creature shaped like a giant western dragon slowly raised its body. Its entire body was pitch black, like a three-dimensional shadow, and all the light sources that shone on its body were completely swallowed up.

"roar--"

The dragon roared towards the two people, and its breath turned into a strong wind. By the time it reached where the two people were, a small dust storm had already formed.

The smaller monsters were also blown away.

Cui Lan originally wanted to use his supernatural power to isolate the space in front of him and freeze his body, but the sand and gravel wrapped in the dragon's breath disintegrated his supernatural power bit by bit like weathered rock.

Not only that, even Shang Li, who was supposed to be unaffected, was blown away.

Shang Li, who had no physical body, had no countermeasures. The only thing he could do was to leave his location to avoid losing contact with Cui Lan.

Normally, most monsters would not be interested in him as a ghost.

But the weirdness here is obviously different.

Cui Lan dragged the frightened No. 2 and chased after the ghost that was blown away by the wind.

The quality of this body is not bad, but No. 2's legs have become weak and it is obvious that he can no longer move quickly.

When the distance was close enough, Shang Li directly disbanded his clones and gathered them into a bright red data ball, which slammed into his own body in another timeline and blatantly seized control of his body.

Cui Lan's hand that was holding onto the back of his collar also held tightly to his hand.

"How could such a powerful monster be born?!"

The friction of sand and the whistling of wind were too loud in his ears, so Cui Lan simply asked in his heart.

Anyway, Shang Li's mind communication was mostly with him all the time.

Sure enough, Shang Li responded immediately.

"And it looks like it's almost as powerful as those old things on the bottom of the sea!"

He blocked out the pain and ran and shouted.

The reason why the seabed rift produced such a powerful monster at that time was because there was a crack that leaked the world's energy.

In addition, they are not affected by restarts, so the monsters have enough time to accumulate strength.

What about here?

The green dumpling never said that when the main system descended, it only created a crack to harvest energy.

"Xiao Cui, we don't have to stay in the rift forever, right?"

He coughed out a mouthful of sand and said in his heart, "Puh, Puh."

Cui Lan raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"If we can't beat them, can we run away?"

Shang Li transferred a location and a large amount of energy from the two people's clasped hands.

“…”

The giant dragon behind them flapped its wings that could block out the sun and flew above them, then opened its fang-filled mouth.

A tremendous amount of energy gathered and then spit out towards the figure running below.

“Bang!!”

A perfectly shaped mushroom cloud exploded in the desert.

After a long time, the yellow smoke dissipated.

All that remained where the dragon's breath covered was a huge deep pit.

The quicksand nearby seemed to come alive, slowly covering the exposed rocks at the bottom, and then continuously filling it up, turning it into a flat land whose depth could not be determined.

The dragon flapped its wings strangely and flew away.

Outside the crack, two people fell to the ground one after the other.

The sound of whistles and the noisy voices of passers-by talking reached my ears.

Shang Li stood up with the help of the street lamp beside him and looked at the busy streets of Yan City.

The gap cut by the long knife closed immediately after Shang Li and Cui Lan left, but even so, it still brought out a large amount of yellow sand, which could form a small pile at the feet with a slight movement.

At the last moment when the dragon's breath caught up with the three people, Cui Lan used up all the energy in his body to open a hole in the space wall of the rift, cutting off the distance between them and the location, and teleported here.

Some passers-by looked at the two people who suddenly appeared and began to whisper.

Shang Li looked down at the body.

There were several large cuts on his jeans, one of which was bleeding profusely on his calf, and his upper body was also in tatters.

He looked at Cui Lan again.

The man with silver eyes was holding onto the same street lamp. Apart from being almost fainted from exhaustion, the corners of his clothes were slightly dirty.

So Shang Li put his arms around Cui Lan's waist and carried her to the nearest hotel.

"Hello, please help me get a double room."

The girl at the front desk looked up and saw two men coming in hugging each other. Before she could think of anything, she saw that they were covered in dust and looked almost dead, as if they had just escaped from a crime scene.

"How can I help you?"

The receptionist immediately calmed down and said considerately, "With this kind of injury, it's better to call 120 and go to the hospital as soon as possible."

"If it's inconvenient, I can provide my phone number and... help contact the police."

"No, call another number for me."

Shang Li reported Chen Jin's private number.

The old man could be considered a high-ranking executive in the Supernatural Bureau, and only a handful of people knew his personal number. Shang Li, who had been his subordinate for nearly ten years, was one of them.

“Beep—”

The call was quickly connected, and a middle-aged man's voice came out, "Hello?"

"Hello, is this Commander Chen Jin?" Shang Li lowered his voice and pretended to be so weak that he might die in the next second.

"Shang Li?"

Chen Jin on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, "How do you know my number?"

"That's not the point, sir."

Shang Li swallowed his saliva and said slowly: "I just came out of the crack."

Chen Jin immediately became serious when he heard this, "Has a new unknown rift appeared in Yan City?"

"Yes, and the monster in this rift seems to be controlled by someone."

"Did you see that man?"

Chen Jin said: "Does he have short pink hair and is very short?"

This time it was Shang Li's turn to be stunned.

After a long while, he responded softly.

From the other end of the line came the harsh sound of a chair rolling on the ground and the thumping of hands hitting the table.

"That's right, it's him."

Chen Jin said word by word:

"Jiang Mingyu, the biggest enemy of the Superpower Bureau."

“…”

Shang Li turned his head slowly and looked helplessly at Cui Lan, who had come close to his ear and was listening to the phone call.

“Wow.”

He said dryly.
