Ember Gun

  Chapter 644 Secret War

   "This rain is really endless..."

  Lorenzo sat by the window, looking at the hazy rain and mist, and couldn't help sighing. Thanks to the downpour, it was now noon, but it was still gloomy and without light.

  I can see the buildings on the street, the lights have been turned on. In this gloomy weather, the boundary between day and night is also blurred.

There was also light in the Winchester office. Lorenzo turned his head and saw Shao Liangye sitting on the side. The terrible situation at the moment was very strange to this stranger, so he held Lorenzo completely. Different mentality.

There was a proper silence in the room. Lorenzo raised his head and looked up at the iron whale sneaking among the clouds. The flame bearer was located on a certain iron whale. When Lorenzo needed it, he would fall from the sky to condemn sin and eliminate evil. .

  Think about it, this is pretty cool.

Early in the morning, Liangxi and Rod ran away. They were patrolling in name, but they were actually traveling. It was pretty good. The heavy rain was so depressing. To see them so happy, Lorenzo felt Not bad.

It’s just that Eve is still worried about them. After all, one is Rod, a civilian, and the other is Liangxi, who doesn’t understand what she is thinking. So Eve went out to look for them after saying hello. The communicator contacted, Lorenzo guessed that they had met now.

  Kestrel has a lot of work. He seems to be working at the pump of perpetual motion. He is helping Merlin. Other familiar faces are almost in the busy work. In the end, it seems that Lorenzo has nothing to do.

  But Lorenzo really doesn’t know what to do.

  All the preparations he can do are ready. Now Lorenzo needs to wait for the war to break out. So he and Shao Liangye returned to this familiar harbor, calmly and prepared for the war.

  It's just that the atmosphere in the office is very harmonious now, and there is no such thing as a big battle.

  Lorenzo lit the fireplace, making the temperature in the room much warmer. The fire spread out in the room, covering every corner with a layer of warm red.

  Shao Liangye was lying on the sofa, holding a book and watching.

  That is a book about the geography of Inervig, Shao Liangye read it very engrossedly, and Lorenzo did not bother him.

  In fact, these strangers are full of curiosity about the Western world, but their responsibilities have bound them firmly together, and they can only hold the sword, instead of wandering in this vast land.

   "It's so funny..."

  Shao Liangye suddenly sighed. He raised his head, folded the book and put it aside, then randomly picked out another one and opened it up.

   "What? Interested?" Lorenzo asked.

   "Of course, if possible, I would like to see many attractions in person."

  Shao Liangye read the book while responding, saying that for him, a person of nine summers, this foreign text is still very difficult to read, but his curiosity is enough to smooth out these difficulties.

"Then you need a long time," Lorenzo thought of something, and said again, "If I have time, I can take you to the Viking countries to see, the aurora there is very beautiful...but It’s also very cold."

   "Jie Hai?" Shao Liangye asked.

"No, no, it's not the sea of ​​silence, and it's not that you can see the aurora only in the sea of ​​silence." For that ghost place, Lorenzo would never want to go again in this life if he could. , It seems to be able to see this scene, but it is too far and too desolate, I have never been."

   "If you have a chance, you can go together."

  Shao Liangye was a little moved.

   "Then you have to live here for a while." Lorenzo said.

"I really had such a plan to live here for a while... I think you should welcome strangers like me." Shao Liangye recalled, on the streets of Jiudunling, you can always see different strangers. .

   "Of course, this city welcomes everyone."

  Lorenzo stared at Shao Liangye, and asked curiously, "Then...I would rather visit your Jiu Xia."

"In the past, Jiuxia would definitely not welcome a monster like you full of erosion. Maybe you can't even cross the forgotten Great Wall," Shao Liangye said. "But at that time, the monsters must be eradicated, maybe. Will Nine Summers open again?"

   "Oh? That's really worth looking forward to."

  The two looked at each other and smiled, enjoying the warm peace. If possible, Lorenzo really hopes that this peace will continue.

   A faint sound of dripping water sounded, which caught Shao Liangye’s attention. He looked at the dim stairs and could see water dripping down.

   "Is this leaking? Lorenzo." Shao Liangye asked.

  Lorenzo got up and walked over, raised his head, and saw water droplets coming from the top.

   "Well, it's the old thing."

Lorenzo said that he walked up the stairs. What many people don’t know is that the office has a staircase that leads directly to the roof, but usually no one will go there. So he was sealed by Mrs. Van Lourdes and only had to clean. It will be turned on only when, so tidy up.

  Since she left, Lorenzo almost forgot about this place, until the continuous heavy rain caused the rain to seep down, it reminded him that there is still such a place.

   Pushing away a mess of clutter, Lorenzo walked to the upper level and pushed open the rusty gate with force, cold wind and cold rain came oncoming.

  The cold chill instantly made Lorenzo awake a lot. He stood on the roof under a rain curtain. The rain on the ground had already accumulated a thick layer, and there were fallen leaves and dust in it, turning into a gray turbid current.

  The drain hole is blocked. If it is dragged down again, the water will overflow into the stairs.

   "Hand me the nail sword."

  Lorenzo shouted behind him. Soon after, Shao Liangye appeared with a nail sword, grabbed the sharp blade, and turned the hilt towards Lorenzo. Lorenzo grabbed it and walked into the rain.

  Strongly stabbed the drainage hole with a nail sword, and opened the blockage. The water flowed here, and even the dust and fallen leaves were expelled.

   "It looks pretty good here."

  Shao Liangye also walked onto the rooftop. He looked around and could see the buildings under the rain curtain, the Benz snakes and pedestrians...

  "I also think it’s pretty good. I always wanted to build a shed here," Lorenzo remembered the plan a long time ago, "put a sofa here, then a small table, sit here to enjoy the sun and eat..."

  Lorenzo said and pointed to the corner, where a pile of masonry was piled up, and they were neatly listed there.

   "I'm still going to bake something to eat on this shelf in the midsummer night."

   "Why didn't you make it?" Shao Liangye asked.

"what……"

  Lorenzo opened his mouth and wanted to say something. After thinking about it, he didn't seem to find any reason for him, but he just responded dryly.

"Who knows? The plan was perfect, but when it was really implemented, I found that I was the only one here. In fact, the life of a person is exquisite and exquisite, and casual and casual. I thought, as if there was no need to be so troublesome. Put it aside."

  Listening to his words, Shao Liangye nodded, and then the guy said solemnly.

   "Lorenzo, this is not something that can be dismissed casually, this is the attitude of life."

"manner?"

  Lorenzo listened to this vocabulary, not knowing what he was thinking.

  The cold rain hit him, he didn't feel cold either. Looking at the city, his thoughts gradually emptied, and he gradually returned to calm.

  Perhaps you should live with a correct attitude, rather than live casually. For example, you should clean up your office. Although you only live by yourself, maybe one day in the future, you will welcome a new roommate? What's more, Lorenzo also has a group of people who are friends, they will come here if nothing is wrong, and brag about drinking with themselves...

  Thinking about it, Lorenzo fell into tranquility, looking peaceful like a newly-married couple, full of hopes for the future, until at a certain moment, the waves resurrected.

  Lorenzo's frustrated eyes became alert for a moment, and even the feeling of his whole person changed greatly, as if there was an invisible fire rolling and burning on his body.

  No, it is not intangible, but tangible.

  Shao Liangye stepped back slightly, pulling himself away from Lorenzo, and he could see the water under Lorenzo’s feet wailing. They were being heated and boiling, and then a pale mist was slowly rising.

   "Lorenzo, what's the matter?"

  Shao Liangye tried to call Lorenzo, but Lorenzo did not respond to him, but constantly shifted his gaze, looking in all directions.

  The burning city was reflected in the blazing eyes.

   "It's going to... start."

  Lorenzo's voice trembled slightly, and he was already prepared, but when it all started, he would still look a little panicked.

  Shao Liangye didn't understand what he meant, he walked into the rain and stared at the city together.

  Everything is normal.

  In the hazy rain curtain, the city is running in an orderly manner. Pedestrians rush in the streets, iron snakes rushing along the railroad tracks, stopping and starting again, leaving a large number of citizens behind and away.

  The iron whale is swimming among the clouds, making melodious siren sounds from time to time, like the sound of a giant whale in the deep sea.

   "The erosion is spreading."

  Lorenzo told that he could feel the ubiquitous pressure, as if a mountain collapsed, and huge rubble fell evenly, covering every inch of the old Dunling’s land.

   "Where is the location?"

  Shao Liangye has also entered the state. The war they have been waiting for has arrived, and now they only need to go to the battlefield.

  But Lorenzo shook his head, and he said slightly confused.

   "Everywhere."

   "Everywhere?"

  Shao Liangye was stunned. He knew very well that Lorenzo would not make any **** jokes at this time. Then there was a cold wind, and it was not clear whether it was fear or cold. Shao Liangye's body was also trembling slightly.

  Everywhere.

   "Erosion...covers the whole area of ​​Old Dunling, spreading evenly in every city and every street."

Lorenzo took a deep breath. He wanted to find the source, but found that there was no source at all, or the old Dunling was the source of all this. At the same time, their communicators also screamed, and an alarm sounded inside, which soon changed. Many sirens sounded in the street, they overlapped and screamed frantically.

The rioters patrolling the streets stopped. They were already preparing to meet all of this. The hideous and terrifying weapons were drawn out, and the armed iron snakes rushed into the streets at this moment. The radio sounded and the alarm was sent to everyone. Place.

  "Emergency warning, according to meteorological observations, there will be a heavy rainstorm in Old Dunling. Citizens are requested to seek shelter in nearby buildings and do not stay on the streets!"

  The citizens still did not react. They stood on the street and did not understand what was being shouted on the radio, but soon there was a dark shadow covering them.

The rioters guarded the main roads on the street, and soldiers in raincoats also appeared on the street. The cold sense of killing made the citizens know that this was not a joke, but they did not understand it. It was just heavy rain. Why For such a big battle, after all, Old Dunling hadn't experienced it.

The cold rain flooded their ankles, and the citizens lowered their heads. I don’t know when the rain had accumulated so much on the street. Then a wave hit, and the Thames flooded the streets with the help of strong winds. , Shouting and passing by, knocking over a few citizens who had not had time to prepare.

  Broadcasting sounded again, and the citizens fled like frightened birds, and fleeing with them were the black crows all over the sky. They wailed and passed by low in the sky, submerged in the rain and fog.

  In a panic, no one seemed to notice the screams hidden in the wind and rain. The large Geiger counters all over the old Dunling sounded together with the sound of thunder.

  Deep underground, Merlin stood in front of a metal round table. This was a backup facility for the Peeper system. After the broken dome was destroyed, it was restarted here as the second command center for the removal agency.

  On this metal round table, various old buildings of the old Dunling are meticulously carved, and different signs are placed on the buildings, and the signs of some outposts are also shining with harmonious green lights.

  There are large Geiger counters one after another, and the peeper system uses these old equipment to detect the degree of erosion of the entire city.

  But now one green light after another turned to alert red, they covered Merlin's face like blood.

  Meiling was expressionless, and saw the last green light turn to red, and the scarlet light completely unified the entire city.

   Eye pupils solidified, and then relaxed again, filled with a feeling of helplessness, Merlin sat down, and I don’t know why he felt lucky that he could become such a great witness.

  Melin picked up the communicator, and he told before the erosion had completely interfered with the communication.

   "Old Dunling has fallen."

He was silent for a while, and Merlin always felt that this was a very serious and sacred moment. What should be said in an inspiring and powerful battle cry, but when he came to his lips, he found that he had thought so much, and all he could say A short sentence.

   "Everyone, the war has begun."

  In the shadow of this history, the secret war that no one knows, with the fall of Merlin’s words, began.
