Returning from the abyss

Chapter 233 Heavy Firepower Combination

Traveling in a storm can be time consuming.

But when Lu Ning rushed to the sixth district, she was attacked unexpectedly.Several ice picks were suddenly shot from a building. Although she quickly jumped out of the car to avoid it, the bicycle was directly cut in two by the ice picks.

"So... sorry... help... me..."

A person's head protruded from the window launched by the ice pick. This person's condition is even more serious. The entire body has become a stack of transparent squares. Internal organs such as eyeballs, tongue, gums, and ear canals are clearly visible, and even the brain is also visible. The outline can be seen, which means that part of the skull has also been crystallized.

However, even so, the man still raised one hand, and a sharp ice pick condensed in the palm.

Something is wrong with this person!
Lu Ning quickly hid behind a roadside tree, and the ice pick scraped against the tree trunk and hit the wall, actually nailing into the concrete wall.

"Help……"

"My...head hurts..."

"what's up……"

Before Lu Ning could decide how to deal with the person who gave the icicle, suddenly there were many people murmuring in pain.

This kind of sound is simply scalp-numbing, and what is even more frightening is that these "people" who have been crystallized to an inhuman form are appearing from all around the street.Their feet have turned into uncontrollable snake-shaped crystals, and their intact upper bodies are also wrapped in layers of skin-turned crystals, their internal organs are still active, and their hands hold different superpower attacks.

Those are the most simple and crude types, ice piles, fireballs, lightning, poisonous gas... Such opponents would not cause much trouble in normal times, but now they turned into a group of mobile fortresses coming from all directions, intending to surround Lu Ning!

Quantity - this is currently the most difficult enemy type for Lu Ning to deal with.

As long as she hurts herself, the red jelly secreted from the wound can turn into armor to protect herself, and when she cuts the enemy, the wound can spontaneously proliferate and completely cut the person into pieces. The only problem is that no matter how strong the armor is, its defense is limited , and the attack cannot attach superpowers if it is not close range damage.

In the current situation, Lu Ning reckoned that if she hurt four or five people at most, she would be shot through the defense with intensive ability shots.

Invincible.

Thinking of this, she drew her sword on the tree, stretched out her hand to grab the sword mark, was pulled upwards as the mark spread rapidly, and climbed into the nearby courtyard wall along a relatively thick branch.

The crystallized people also climbed up the tree, trying to chase Lu Ning, but just halfway through the climb, they heard a "click", and the big tree shattered from the inside out, smashing all the crystallized people on the ground. on the ground.

"There's something wrong."

Lu Ning broke the glass of this courtyard and ran into the dimly lit room. When passing by the bedroom, she happened to see the owner's family huddled together. Surprisingly, the owner's family did not attack suddenly, and the body was also injured. Just some crystals on the arms and legs, not as bad as those guys out there.

With just a glance, Lu Ning hurried past, but this difference also made her start to speculate about the characteristics of the C-circuit ability.

This superpower that covers the entire city is absolutely indiscriminate attack, and its specific function is to make people or everything into tools, and manipulate them regardless of personal will.However, the process of crystallization seems to have some special conditions. Kazama Rie found the second district from the sixth district. It is still only the crystallization of the arm. The owner's family here is not serious. Know why it's so fast.

It is definitely not an indoor or outdoor factor, because the first person who attacked himself was also indoors.

It doesn't depend on whether you have superpowers or not. The crystallization progress of Rie Kazama and the owner is similar.

To find that condition, more controls are needed.On the other hand, if there are these guys blocking it, it is not easy to break into the defensive range of the C circuit.

After she ran out from the back door, she walked cautiously along the street corner. On the way, she was attacked by crystallized people who suddenly appeared several times, but the number was not particularly large.In line with the principle of avoidance, Lu Ning made a long detour before being able to get close to the city hall in the sixth district.

Just as she was running around a corner, another person rushed out in front of her. She subconsciously swung the sword chariot, and the other person seemed to be surprised suddenly, and raised his hand and pressed it on her shoulder.

The blade scratched the opponent, and at the same time, Lu Ning was also pressed to the ground by the sudden heavy pressure on her body.

"Ok?"

After staring at each other for a while, Sollet and Lu Ning simultaneously canceled the ability effect on each other temporarily.

"I think we came here with the same purpose." Lu Ning said.

There is no crystallization phenomenon on Solite's body, it should be the use of the source of evil, but his companions may not be spared.

"Let's stop for now... I know who you are, Lu Ying. We have your head in our mission."

"I know, but the most important thing is to solve the immediate problem first, right? Besides, we've already met each other."

For superpowers like the two of them, touching such a distance can already determine life and death, but neither party is ready to fight and lose both sides now.

"Okay." Sollet nodded bluntly.

A somewhat strange combination was thus formed.

The purpose of Sollet's coming is just as Lu Ning thought, to help her companion solve the symptoms of crystallization.The members of the victim club other than him had already crystallized, so he almost rushed to the sixth district at the fastest speed.

According to him, the progress of the crystallization of the members of the action team was not uniform. Some people just appeared a little bit and just lost their strength, while some people's skin was crystallized all over their bodies, and their bodies began to lose control.

"There must be some conditions for crystallization, otherwise there is no need for such a difference in progress." Lu Ning said.

"It doesn't depend on the basic elements such as ability strength, gender and weight, and it has nothing to do with the temperature and humidity of the environment." Sollet is also quite good at thinking, and quickly denied several conditions from the comparison of the status of his teammates .

But even if some are excluded, there is no way to find a particularly clear division.

Moreover, the two had to break through the volleys of the crystallized people that appeared along the way, and rushed towards the city hall.

Just as she stepped into the black lacquered gate, Lu Ning's cell phone vibrated suddenly.

"Wait for me." Lu Ning hurriedly picked up the phone.

It's Zhao Xihua, at this time she probably also started to show symptoms of crystallization, and she still has time to make a phone call?

"Hello? Zhao Xihua?"

"When I call you in such a difficult time, at least the tone of my voice will let me comfort you..."

The voice was weak, but with a coquettish tone, Lu Ning couldn't help feeling chills.

"What's the matter?"

"You... are already in the sixth district... That damn thing in the sky is really troublesome." Zhao Xihua slowed down and continued, "I found a way to curb the crystallization... It is necessary for you, the only one, to rush Let the key people on the front line understand."

"Can you stop talking around in circles at this time?"

"Hey hey... It's a personal habit."

On the other end of the phone, there was the sound of running water, much like the sound of a shower in a bathroom flushing water into a bathtub filled with water.

"Long story short, I was bleeding myself."

Zhao Xihua's voice became a little more serious.

"What did you say?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Chang is by my side and won't put my life in danger. I'll tell you the result of my observation. After I released part of the blood, the crystallization speed on my body slowed down by about half, while Qingyu's The situation is much more serious than before, she has completely lost consciousness after dealing with the last thing, and used some drugs."

"Yang Qingyu is more serious than you? Wait...I want to confirm..."

Lu Ning took the phone away and asked Solit: "Who are the people with more severe and mild symptoms in your team?"

"You don't know them either, and you can't judge even if I tell you." Sollet was very vigilant, "If you think of any conditions, we can verify them directly. It's no problem for the crystallizers outside to catch one or two. .”

"When I came over, I saw that some severely injured superpowers and biochemical people on the road also appeared crystallized, but the progress was very slow. When a person I knew saw me, he had just experienced a big battle , there are not too many crystals on the body. Finally, when I passed a house just now, the symptoms of the house owner who were so scared that they hugged each other and refused to run away were not very serious."

Sollet was reminded and realized something.

He had confirmed the condition of some other members of the club. Those old people who were already ashamed and unable to take revenge did not have many crystallization symptoms. Instead, many young people who were full of anger had severe crystallization symptoms.It's just that some of these young people are covered all over, and some only spread on their arms and legs, so it's impossible to judge the mechanism.

"It's vitality." Sollet and Lu Ning thought of it together.

Fatigue, old age, serious injury, cowardice, and usually weak physical fitness, such people have a low degree of crystallization; in contrast, those who are physically strong, exercise themselves frequently, and are full of vitality in the morning of the day, It is the best "forging material" of the earth vein furnace!
Just as the two said this condition, the surrounding lights suddenly lit up.

In the lobby of the Town Hall, a huge screen hangs from the wall above the stairs.At this moment, a letter "C" with a unique shape quickly appeared on the projection screen.

"Sollet, Lu Ying. You two possess the Evil of Essence, so you are not affected by my ability. Can I infer that you are here for your friends?"

There was a hint of doubt in the robotic voice.

"Of course, I will dismantle you by the way." Sollet took a step forward, and the tiles on the ground flew up, and he grabbed them in his hands.

"You can't do it." Circuit C said coldly, "Gravity control can be a top-level ability among general superpowers, but with your level of control, it's not enough to threaten my position."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to get your shitty position, I'm just trying to tear you down, and the core of this city." The corners of Sollet's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a look that he didn't know whether it was pain or pleasure. She smiled, "How long have we been planning this moment? Why does your place that shelters evil exist in this world? Why is it allowed to exist?"

"Your relatives did not die at the hands of any registered people in Sin City. You came here just to obtain superpowers. After you awakened superpowers, you also killed all the people who killed your family. It should be said , Vice City sheltered you, a murderer." Circuit C retorted indifferently.

"So what? Do you think I joined the club only because of my personal reasons?" Sollet's expression twisted slightly, "What I can't understand is the existence of your city! All the justice and judgments you have had are shattered! As long as you survive in this world for a day, it will prove that somewhere in the world still recognizes the rationality of burning, killing, and looting!"

"So? Are you fighting against the city because of the burning sense of justice in your heart? It doesn't look like you are such a passionate person from the outside. But do you still intend to carry out all this in the name of personal justice? Countless History has proven that to be wrong."

"At any time, it is human beings who will be judged..." The tiles in Soliter's hand shattered, "Then what difference does it make between me and some other judge!!!"

The shattered tiles turned into a rain of bullets and shot at the screen, and then hit a layer of ice shell that suddenly appeared, making countless cracks, but they did not penetrate after all.

Around four weeks began to appear "people".

In fact, it can no longer be called human beings. These creatures that were once human beings have been crystallized and carefully modified. All internal organs and brains have been sneaked into the crystals in an orderly manner, while the outside is spliced ​​by cube crystals like building blocks. Some have tracks underneath and swan-shaped implements above.It's just that there are two crystal cannon tubes extending from the wings of "Swan", and the head has become a flat rectangle, with the same "C" embedded in the center as on the screen.

"These people are—" Lu Ning immediately took a step back.

"The staff of the city hall." Sollet laughed mockingly on his face, "The work of the city hall has always been high salary, good benefits, the best happiness index, and a lot of sports and entertainment activities. The lives of these people It is something that countless people would not envy."

That is, the best raw material for the leyline furnace.

Then, the door behind him fell heavily.

"This is the domain of the C circuit." The ruthless electronic voice of the C circuit announced, "I will recover the source of evil from the two of you, and maybe it will be a special surprise in the next Sabbath celebration."

Just as it finished saying this, the wall where the screen was hung suddenly made a cracking sound, and the entire screen lost its support in an instant, and fell heavily on the stairs, with broken glass splashing all over the floor.

Along the tile pit dug out by Solit, a thin crack extended to the back of the screen wall at some point, and then turned into a huge crack.

"you……"

The voice of the C circuit came from all the crystallized people.

"We did it." Lu Ning wiped away a ray of red light from his fingers, "What I like to do most is to surprise someone when they think they have a chance to win."

"Stupid, destroying a screen can't hurt me at all. The fragility of human beings is limited to a living body, and I rely on the entire sin city network to exist. I am immortal. You will never kill me."

"Let's return the word stupid." Lu Ning showed a provocative smile, "First of all, I can do this kind of small trick under your nose, and I can do countless. This is the first thing you exposed. weakness."
