Embers Ad Infinitum

North Shore Wasteland, Chuchun Town, inside the air raid shelter.

Gnawa went deeper and finally saw the silver-white metal gate.

According to his judgment, behind the door should be the laboratory established by the "Primary City" here.

On both sides of the gate, there were soldiers wearing military exoskeletons guarding each side. They stood motionless with heavy machine guns in their hands.

As soon as Gnawa approached, the two soldiers reacted.

They fired continuously, and a grenade launcher used its left arm to blast the shells in the direction of Gnawa.

Gennava was not surprised at all by this. The result of his analysis was: People in the "Primary City" who want to enter the laboratory need to notify the laboratory in advance and wear correct sensors. Anyone who approaches without being notified or marked will There is bound to be a ruthless attack.

If you kill someone by mistake, you won’t let it go!

An ordinary human being would have been too late to dodge such an attack. Gnawa had been scanning the situation ahead and responded immediately.

In the roaring explosion, he not only avoided the center position, but also used his own electromagnetic weapon to fight back.

The two soldiers wearing military exoskeleton devices made full use of the "comprehensive early warning system" and fought back and forth with Gnawa.

What surprised Gnawa the most was that the other party was not surprised, panicked or disturbed at all by the fact that the enemy had broken through to the entrance area of ​​the laboratory. He was calm as if he was doing something he had practiced hundreds of thousands of times.

Da da da! Boom boom boom! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

Gnawa and the two soldiers wearing military exoskeletons went up and down, pouring firepower on each other amid explosions and stray bullets.

For a moment, none of them could do anything to the other, and the air-raid shelter was quite strong, with no signs of collapse.

Because there were two people on the opposite side, Gnawa was briefly at a disadvantage.

With a flash of sparks, he relied on his processor to be truly multi-core and capable of multi-threaded operations. While fighting fiercely, he shouted through the speaker:

“Give up your illusions, throw away your weapons, and choose to surrender!

"You can't wait for reinforcements. All the defenders are either dead, seriously injured, or dispersed. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get here.

“Our large army is still outside and will be here soon!

“Surrender without killing!

"We will exchange prisoners with the Prime City!"

Gnawa imitated Jiang Baimian's thinking, trying to disintegrate the fighting spirit of the two enemies on the opposite side. Otherwise, if the battle continued like this, there would be no hope of victory within ten or twenty minutes.

All his words were not lies. Compared to an intelligent robot like him, Zeng Duo and Han Wang were one plus one equal to two. They were undoubtedly a large force in terms of numbers.

Under such circumstances, Gnawa felt that his chance of victory was probably that as time went on, the military exoskeleton devices of the two soldiers on the opposite side gradually ran out of power, and he carried more than ten high-performance batteries with him.

Hearing his sincere words, the two soldiers wearing military exoskeleton devices did not waver at all. They maintained the rhythm just now and blocked Gnawa's approach with ferocious firepower.

Their faces were covered by masks, and Gnawa could not observe whether their expressions had changed. He could only preliminarily judge that they were not affected much based on monitoring other body signals.

After waiting for a while, just when Gnawa gave up the strategy of attacking his heart, the two soldiers wearing military exoskeleton devices forced him to a safe distance, suddenly turned around at the same time, and returned to the silver-white metal door of the laboratory. .

The sound of dripping sounded, and the door slowly retreated to the side.

The two soldiers ran in one after the other.

Gnawa was about to take the opportunity to break in when Huo Ran scanned some bad information.

He turned around suddenly and jumped into the distance without reservation.

As soon as Gnawa landed, a dull roar sounded from behind.

Boom!

The explosion grew from small to large, and soon filled the laboratory, causing the entire air-raid shelter to shake violently.

Self-destruct device!

Those two soldiers activated the laboratory's self-destruct device!

Gnawa was worried that the area would collapse, so he ran towards the exit.

He had met many people and seen many entertainment materials from the old world, but he had never encountered a human being who could die so generously before.

Once the self-destruction device is activated, the two soldiers wearing military exoskeleton devices will definitely die!

Is this the spirit of human sacrifice? Wouldn't they feel a little scared and regretful when they activated the self-destruct device? Problems arise one after another in the Gnawa core module.

When he rushed out of the air-raid shelter and returned to the ground, the surviving townspeople of Chuchun Town found their own vehicles in groups, or forcibly started the cars left by the defenders, and were using them to search and load them back and forth. Carrying supplies.

There is no need for Zeng Duo's persuasion. They all know that they have rich experience in living in the dust. They all know that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Don't expect to be able to live there. Wait a little longer, and the large forces from the "Primary City" will arrive!

"How is it?" Han Wanghuo had already felt the vibrations on the ground, and upon seeing this, he hurriedly asked Gnawa in a loud voice.

Gnawa moved his metal neck left and right:

"The lab was destroyed."

"Then..." Zeng Duo didn't know if Xue Shiyue had anything else to tell Gennava.

Gennava looked around and said:

"We have to leave in ten more minutes."

"Okay." Zeng Duo hurriedly told his fellow villagers these words through the speaker on the military exoskeleton device.

…………

First City, Green Watch Shop.

After the man on the helicopter suddenly jumped out of the air and fell into unknown shape, the search work of the city defense troops came to a standstill.

In view of the concealment of the awakened person's ability, before that person wakes up, if he can still wake up, others will have no way of knowing where the attack came from and where it originated.

Before other strong men from the "Primary City" arrived, Green, who had a light golden beard, walked out of the workshop area and said to Jiang Baimian and others while wiping his hands:

“The transplant is complete.

"But the injured hasn't woken up yet. I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell when he will wake up."

"This..." Jiang Baimian smiled, "How much does the transplant cost?"

Green thought for a moment and said:

"I heard from Conley that you have a first-aid shot that is very effective.

"If you don't mind, give me two to offset the cost of the transplant. At this critical moment, this can save lives."

There are currently four non-card teams left in the "Old Tune Team".

Will it be too cheap for us? Jiang Baimian's first reaction was to say this.

She immediately woke up:

The reason why non-cards are cheap is because from the perspective of the employees of "Pangu Biology", I and others feel that the large number of first-aid shots that can be applied for after use are not much different from others, but for most people in the world Speaking of which, this thing can really save lives if used properly.

Just like Long Yuehong today, if he had not been given three non-cards, he would definitely not have been able to have a successful operation.

"Okay." Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief.

It feels good to not have to worry about money.

Since they have no debt, they have lost the excuse to mortgage Long Yuehong in the workshop. Moreover, it is foreseeable that this area will be subject to stricter and more careful searches. It is quite embarrassing to leave Long Yuehong here alone. Danger.

Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao got a simple stretcher and carried Long Yuehong, whose right hand had turned "iron black", back to the back seat of the jeep.

"Where to go next? Ask General Phocas to help arrange a suitable place to recuperate?" Bai Chen asked Jiang Baimian while starting the jeep.

The most important thing is to renew Xiaohong's infusion as soon as possible to ensure the effect of the operation.

Jiang Baimian shook his head:

"Not General Phocas."

"Huh?" Bai Chen was a little surprised.

Jiang Baimian pondered for a few seconds and said:

“It was such a coincidence that we bumped into Assus and Kristina.

"It can be seen from their conversation that Kristina lives in that apartment, or at least often lives there."

There seemed to be no necessary connection between her two sentences, but Bai Chen immediately understood what she wanted to express:

"Team leader, you mean that this was arranged by General Phocas?"

"It's not necessarily an arrangement." Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully, "He found out that one of the special commissioner's safe houses was behind an apartment with Kristina's home. Maybe it was because he could do it, but it would be better if he didn't. He passed us over with an indifferent thought, well, he should have known about the relationship between Assus and Christina and the 'Holy Desire' sect, and he hopes to try his luck and plant a nail."

"That's too bad!" Shang Jianyao, who was looking after Long Yuehong in the back row, expressed his opinion, "He still owes us a celebration banquet!"

Jiang Baimian did not respond to him and said to Bai Chen:

"Go to the Red Giant Wolf District, activate the last safe house, and then go to a nearby hospital at night to steal some medicine, and we will give Xiaohong an infusion ourselves.

"Also, we have to report the situation to the company."

"Okay." Bai Chen turned the vehicle away from the relevant area of ​​Antana Street.

Because they had documents, documents, and uniforms, and the scene was relatively chaotic, the "Old Adjustment Team" left this dangerous place relatively easily.

Bai Chen drove the car, and Shang Jianyao suddenly looked out the window and shouted happily:

"Teacher Du Heng!"
