Embers Ad Infinitum

Gennava didn't notice anything unusual, but he still fully believed in Shang Jianyao's judgment and asked:

"Is it because we are getting closer to the source of the problem?"

Gnawa believes that although Shang Jianyao may be joking or playing pranks at critical moments, he or others will quickly correct him so as not to delay the business. Therefore, if Shang Jianyao has no other explanation later, , Gennava regarded what he just said as true.

Shang Jianyao stared at the depths of the main city that was so dim that it was almost night, shook his head and said:

“I didn’t feel this way just now in the square.

"And the distance from the center of the square to here is only twenty or thirty meters."

This is a small fountain and statue square, which itself is not big.

What Shang Jianyao meant was that there was no reason why he didn't feel anything in front of him, and he had already gained something after walking only twenty or thirty meters.

Gennava didn't quite agree with Shang Jianyao's words:

"Almost twenty-five meters. Although this is indeed insignificant compared to the entire main city of Cornimis, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes. We have moved forward countless twenty-five meters. This may be the last one. Let us The last one to cross the line.”

Shang Jianyao still shook his head:

"I thought about it carefully and found that after the previous library projection was destroyed by the high-voltage current you released, the surrounding situation changed a little bit.

"It should have been since that time that the vortex slowly became stronger, and now it is finally strong enough that I can vaguely sense it from this location."

"This is a possibility." Gnawa completed the analysis in the blink of an eye. "Our attack on the projection caused by the overlap is equivalent to indirectly stimulating the 'new world', so there is a certain change."

Shang Jianyao's mind jumped and he sighed:

"The vortex should be several kilometers away from me, far beyond my sensing range, but I can actually detect it now.

"Did I become stronger in this special environment?"

Gnawa, who was listening to his words attentively, was almost caught by his sharp turn and hurriedly expressed his opinion:

"First, the vortex is too huge and exaggerated. Second, similar things will cause certain disturbances to the surroundings. This disturbance is transmitted layer by layer. Although the corresponding signals gradually attenuate and become weaker and weaker, they have also reached To the extent that you can capture it.”

These two points are complementary to each other. It is precisely because the vortex is too huge and exaggerated that the disturbance can be transmitted to this side several kilometers away.

"Really?" Shang Jianyao asked a little disappointedly, and then said, "From this point of view, it is the highest possible node of a giant 'new world', followed by the sleeping body of the Sui Sui incarnation, and the others The situation can basically be ruled out.”

Gnawa moved his metal neck up and down:

"Do you want to go deeper?"

Shang Jianyao fell into a state of embarrassment, no, internal strife.

It took them several seconds to agree on the answer:

“The whirlpool continues to grow stronger, and I’m worried that it will get worse in the future.

"Let's retreat, rendezvous with Dabai and the others, and closely observe the situation in the main city of Coninmis. If the vortex does not calm down and continues to go out, swallowing up the surrounding area, we will send nuclear bombs to it to prevent the 'Wuxin Disease' from spreading to All dust.”

"Okay." Gnawa's main module simulated the emotion of relief.

The two were about to turn around when they suddenly saw an additional building in the darkness in the distance and in the thick fog.

It was a hazy tower.

…………

After hearing Jiang Baimian's order, it took Long Yuehong and Bai Chen several seconds to figure out that there was indeed only one enemy. As long as they and others escaped separately, at least one of them would be able to escape the opponent's ability coverage and return to normal, and then Use equipment and long-range attacks to help teammates get out of trouble.

This is a solution that works very well for the current situation.

Of course, the premise is that there is really only one enemy.

Long Yuehong, who was in a "drunk" state, was much bolder than usual. With the protection of the "Black Swamp Iron Snake" bionic intelligent armor, she rushed out first.

He hoped that he could distract the enemy and create an opportunity for Bai Chen and the team leader to escape from danger!

When Bai Chen saw this, he immediately turned around and ran in the other direction.

As an experienced warrior, she knew that the only way to avoid dragging down her companions in this situation was to run away with all her strength.

In this way, the enemy will hesitate and choose to chase her with a certain probability.

As a result, others are safe, and it won't take long to find an opportunity to counterattack.

The woman wearing a chameleon-like bionic smart armor was not angry and chuckled.

As the sound spread, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen became even more "drunk" and their body movements became increasingly uncoordinated.

boom!

The two of them fell to the ground almost at the same time, like pushing a mountain of gold over a jade pillar.

The same was true for Jiang Baimian, who was running towards the Jeep, but she had already expected it, so she jumped forward and rolled, and finally arrived at the driver's seat with the door open.

At this time, the enemy dropped the launcher of the AS-9 individual anti-tank missile, picked up his rifle hidden behind a tree, and aimed it at Jiang Baimian.

She was more worried about Jiang Baimian who returned to the jeep than the two people who escaped on foot.

After all, there are powerful bombs claimed by the other side.

For this reason, she had to choose ordinary firearms to avoid being killed in an explosion.

This is one of the reasons why she did not hit vehicles before, but only used anti-tank missiles and grenades to scare those on the opposite side.

Of course, this is also the reason for being ranked last, otherwise she would not have chosen the grenade gun and individual anti-tank missile at all, and would not even have given the three members of the "old tune team" a chance to get on the vehicle.

She completed the aim quickly and was very confident in her ability in this area.

Because one of her three abilities is:

"Gun Genius"!

After entering the "Psychic Corridor", this was promoted to "Hot Weapon Genius".

Just when the enemy, who was wearing a "chameleon"-like bionic smart armor, was about to pull the trigger and let the bullet penetrate into Jiang Baimian's torso from the side without armor protection and roll inside, a sound suddenly rang in her ears. A dynamic female voice:

"Look, look

"It's better to dance

"Chatting is better than dancing..." (Note 1)

The lady was confused and had a strong impulse:

Shooting is not as good as dancing!

Fighting is worse than dancing!

It’s not as good as dancing with your abilities!

She then twisted her hips, put down the gun, and waved her hands.

It wasn't just her, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, who fell into the dirt without taking precautions in advance, also danced on the floor.

Although they have never danced this kind of dance before, but they have never eaten pork, have they seen pigs running?

You know, there is an old world dance master in the "Old Tune Group" who is proficient in various genres of dance.

Yes, he is Gnawa, and he has this in his database.

Shang Jianyao often learned from him and asked for his advice. Long Yuehong and Bai Chen looked on and felt like they were about to master it.

Jiang Baimian also danced.

She grabbed the "right hand of chaos", used it as a prop, and shook it.

Her body trembled, sometimes kneeling down, sometimes whirling upward, which was very rhythmic and beautiful.

At this moment, the scene felt like entering the routine of some movie from a country in the old world.

Absurd and joyful.

But Jiang Baimian did not stay where she was. Wearing a military exoskeleton device, she twisted her body and walked toward the enemy step by step, just like a scene from some old-world movies.

——Holding a small speaker in her other hand, she was not only implanted with the idea of ​​"it's better to dance", but was also affected by negative effects and developed certain mental problems.

This caused her to seem to become a trumpet version of Shang Jianyao, full of weird thoughts that she had to dance with her enemies and defeat her in the dance.

Since we are going to dance, we must close the distance and increase the tension in the atmosphere between them.

In just a few seconds, with the assistance of a military exoskeleton device, Jiang Baimian successfully shortened the distance between the two parties to less than a hundred meters after two jumps in the dance.

Then, she threw the small speaker to the ground like a white glove.

But as the small speaker fell away from her palm and lost the support of the awakener, the singing suddenly became normal and no longer had the magic power that made it worse than dancing.

Of course, the corresponding thoughts that were implanted before still exist and will not disappear directly, but this is incompatible with the environment at the scene. It will not take long for the three members of the "Old Tune Team" and the enemy to realize that the situation is wrong and return to normal.

Compared with Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, the enemies who have entered the "soul corridor" are significantly less affected and will naturally recover faster.

This is a normal development, but the reality is often not like this.

Jiang Baimian twisted her waist and was still dancing, but she no longer had the idea of ​​having to dance with her opponent.

In the "cold" brought by the "right hand of chaos", she suddenly fell into a trance:

"Why dance when it's so cold?"

With this contradiction, Jiang Baimian instantly got rid of the implanted thinking and regained the correct understanding.

And she was not surprised at all by this situation.

Before using the small speaker, she had thought about using the negative effects of the "chaotic right hand" to help herself get rid of the shackles of "thought implantation"!

What she didn't expect was that the "cold" could be overcome while the singing still had magic.

Once his mind was clear and he was no longer in a "drunken" state, Jiang Baimian locked onto the enemy, his eyes became dark, and he raised his arm to aim the grenade launcher of the military exoskeleton device at the target.

At this time, the enemy wearing a "chameleon"-like bionic smart armor also regained his normal thinking mode and stopped dancing.

Her pupils then reflected the dark emission port and the metal skeleton reflecting the light.

And she knew very well that her armor was not good at defense. Although she would not be severely damaged by a grenade, it would still be affected a lot, including damage to the equipment and injuries to herself.
