Embers Ad Infinitum

Is this the state of real war? Human beings are so small... They are like slaves to those weapons, adding glory to them with their lives... Long Yuehong saw bombs falling one after another, and missiles flying one after another, covering the area where the "Old Tune Team" was located .

He knew that the bulletproof armor modified from the jeep could not stop this level of bombing. Whether he and others could survive could only rely on luck.

Long Yuehong seemed to see her life beginning to count down, feeling both desperate and sentimental for a moment.

Despair means that he can't find a way to escape and can only watch helplessly. Compared with opening the door and getting out of the car, rolling to hide, as long as the Jeep is not directly hit, it still has a strong layer of protection. Nostalgia means that he can't let it go. He doesn't want to die like this. Return to "Pangu Creatures", show off your harvest on the surface to your parents and younger siblings, share your various experiences, and live a normal life with relatively abundant supplies.

At this moment, he heard Shang Jianyao on the other side of the back row yell:

"This unscientific!"

What's unscientific... When Long Yuehong was at a loss, she saw Shang Jianyao rushing over and pumping his fist.

The fist went straight behind his ear!

Hello! If you think it's unscientific, you're going to hit me? As soon as Long Yuehong had this thought, she was caught off guard and punched by Shang Jianyao.

With the banging sound, his vision went dark and he passed out.

At the moment before that, Long Yuehong saw from the corner of his eye that the team leader also raised his body from the passenger seat, swung his right fist at Bai Chen who was driving, and pointed his left palm at "Garibaldi" Zhu. Sepe.

Jiang Baimian's movements were only slightly slower than Shang Jianyao's.

The unconscious darkness gradually disappeared, and Long Yuehong regained some thoughts:

Why does Shang Jianyao call it unscientific?

Why do you want to beat me for being unscientific?

That's good, at least being blown up to death in a coma won't be so painful...

As his thoughts spread aimlessly, Long Yuehong suddenly felt the darkness shaking.

The shaking became more and more violent, and a gap was opened in the darkness, and a dazzling light shone in.

Long Yuehong opened her eyes suddenly and saw Shang Jianyao's body crossing over "Garibaldi" Giuseppe. He grabbed his shoulder with one hand and shook it, and held a flashlight in the other hand to shine on his face.

"..." Long Yuehong was confused at first, then raised her hands to cover her eyes, "Stop, stop, stop!"

"He's awake." Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, stopped Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao turned off the flashlight regretfully, released his palm, and sat back.

Long Yuehong's heart moved. She sat up straight and looked left and right.

He found the jeep intact, none of the team members injured, and the surrounding streets, although slightly tattered, showed no signs of being bombed.

More importantly, the Jeep seemed to have just left the parking lot attached to the Sikaluo Temple not long ago, but this was not the case in his memory:

I and others are almost turning into another road!

"This..." Long Yuehong blurted out, "Dream? We were just dragged into a real dream?"

"And they are connected dreams." Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, responded with a deep voice.

"It has changed from a stand-alone game to an online game." Shang Jianyao agreed.

"I almost had a car accident just now." Bai Chen was still worried about the fact that he didn't know when he fell asleep and dreamed.

On the one hand, it was the bombing in the dream that made her feel the approach of death, and on the other hand, the brief slumber in reality made her almost drive the jeep into a house next to the road, from the wall.

Long Yuehong suddenly realized, looked at Shang Jianyao and said:

"You said it's not scientific because you think it's unreal, and you suspect it's a dream?"

"Yes." Shang Jianyao rarely said seriously, "We all feel that no one in the 'Primary City' would deal with us so generously. It's such a waste. How many missiles can we buy with all the bounty?"

That's right, that kind of treatment is "enjoyed" at the company's action cluster level... Long Yuehong recalled the dream just now and felt that it was indeed the case.

Shang Jianyao continued:

“As soon as I suspected it was a dream, I decided to experiment on you.

"Coma in a real dream is equivalent to a coma in reality. After a coma, you will lose your ability to sense the surrounding environment, and you will no longer be affected by fatal blows in a real dream."

Long Yuehong held it in for a few seconds before responding:

"thank you!"

He wasn't too angry, because Shang Jianyao didn't use him as a guinea pig but instead left himself in the danger queue.

At this time, Bai Chen glanced at the rearview mirror:

"Team leader, are we being targeted by those awakened from the 'Soul Corridor' level in the 'Dawn' realm?"

This is much more powerful than Nightmare Horse's "real dream", and that person seems to have the ability to force himself to sleep!

What the "old tune team" was most worried about happened.

"Forced sleep" paired with "real dreams" seems so incomprehensible!

Jiang Baimian nodded solemnly:

"right.

"From now on, we may re-enter dreams every moment without being aware of it. Our cognition will deceive us."

…………

In the north bank wasteland, Han Wanghuo, Zeng Duo and Gnawa walked half a circle, leaving the heavily polluted area and entering the ruins of a small town to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

After lighting the bonfire, Zeng Duo sat next to it and looked after the kettle placed on it.

As the fire light flickered, she suddenly smiled and said:

"When I was a child, I most longed to go hunting with adults and search for various supplies in the ruins. But now, I just hope to have a piece of farmland that is not polluted, so that I can survive without taking risks."

Han Wanghuo, who was preparing dinner, glanced at her:

"You still think of yourself."

Zeng Duo smiled awkwardly:

"This is normal. When given a choice, everyone would want to live a better life. Isn't that true?

"I dreamed last night that my disease could still be cured."

Han Wanghuo's expression suddenly solidified.

After a few seconds, he said in a deep voice:

"I dreamed about it too."

"Ah?" Zeng Duo looked confused.

Gennava looked over with flashing red eyes:

"Were you dragged into a 'real dream'?"

"What are your dreams like?" Han Wanghuo asked Zeng Duo hurriedly.

Zeng Duo could not remember the details of the dream very clearly, but he could still describe the overall outline.

After listening, Han Wanghuo said solemnly:

"I had the same dream as you."

"This..." Zeng Duo was a little frightened and confused, not knowing what this dream meant.

"If you die in a real dream, reality will also die." Gnawa explained.

He turned to Han Wanghuo and said:

"The existence of Xiao Chong and the whereabouts of Dabai and the others should be known to the owner of the dream."

"What should we do?" Zeng Duo blurted out.

Han Wanghuo replied calmly:

"Send a telegram to Xue Shiyue and Zhang Qubing later to remind them to pay attention."

"Well, I hope I can make it in time. The wasteland environment on the north coast is complex. From here to the First City, it is impossible to arrive in one day unless you take a plane." Zeng Duo comforted himself.

Even if you fly, you often have to avoid the extreme weather here.

However, the other party can also send a telegram to notify his accomplices in the First City.

…………

"What should we do?" Long Yuehong asked subconsciously, and then took the initiative to make a suggestion, "We can turn around now and return to Xikaluo Temple. There is a 'Buddha's Body' there and there are many 'Enlightened Ones'. I'm sure Make the enemy give up."

Jiang Baimian stared at the street under the night and slowly shook his head:

“One, even if we return to Sikaluo Temple, all this may be just a dream;

"Two, I suspect that tonight's coincidence is indeed not a coincidence, and the purpose is not to get us to go to Home Reproductive Medical Center."

She further explained:

"Someone on the seventh floor may have foreseen that there was an enemy guarding us outside, and deliberately created an abnormality to force us out of the Sikaluo Temple, and then used the enemy's hands to kill us and eliminate the hidden danger."

Apparently, this was the party that didn't want the "Old Tune Team" to go to Home Reproductive Medical Center.

Long Yuehong thought about it carefully and found that the team leader's guess was indeed logical and could explain all the problems.

"Who is the enemy, and why are they targeting us? We have not offended the sect that believes in the 'Dawn'... Also, how did he know that we are at Xikaluo Temple..." Bai Chen slowed down the car and said, Bian asked the question.

These questions are not meaningless. If you clarify them, you may be able to find ways to fight against powerful enemies.

Jiang Baimian seemed to have considered this issue a long time ago, and said after careful consideration:

"There are only three possibilities:

"First, the strong men from the Prime City made a special trip to arrest us. The awakened people in the 'Dawn' realm may not believe in 'Dawn'. But if it were an official force, these would definitely not be the only things we encounter now, and there is a greater chance that... is the master of the 'virtual world'.

"Second, the friend on the seventh floor came to help him when he was unable to do anything. But there is also a problem. How did the friend inform his friend? He seems to be restricted and unable to do similar things. "

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian's voice sank:

"Third, the secret force that has been secretly obliterating the clues to the destruction of the old world. After they knew that we had obtained the password to the secret laboratory in the ruins of Wasteland 13, they came specifically to eliminate us. There is also a question, how did they know that we were Carlo Temple, 'prophecy', or through some other method or channel?"

As soon as Jiang Baimian finished speaking, "Garibaldi" Giuseppe woke up.

He was shocked and angry and said:

"First you knocked me out, and now you shock me. What do you want?

"Huh……"

He found that there were no traces of electric shock on his body.

…………

Han Wanghuo, who was waiting for the time to send the telegram, suddenly thought of a question:

"Why didn't the person who dragged Zeng Duo and I into the 'real dream' just let us die in our dreams after getting the information?"

In this way, they will not notice the clues and will not send a telegram to remind Xue Shiyue and others.

Moreover, if you die in a dream, you don't have to face Gnawa directly, and you don't have to worry about whether your ability can affect the robot.

After exhausting a variety of possibilities, Gennava issued a slightly synthetic baritone voice:

"Perhaps something happened in the darkness and frightened him away.

"It may be that some conditions have been met."
