Returning from the abyss

Chapter 598 lingering fear
The strength of the foreign officer is far from that of a muscular weirdo with no strength. After knocking down the two of them with a raise of his hand, he immediately rushed towards Yan Rong.Lu Ning threw out the blade with her backhand, and at the same time pressed her left hand in the air, a phantom of a phalanx that overlapped many times flashed, and the strong recoil instantly pressed on the foreign affairs officer, and at the same time, Lu Ning herself was bounced away for a certain distance.However, the Foreign Affairs Officer used this thrust to rush towards Yan Rong faster, and with a swing of the naginata, he passed through the flames of the lion.

At this moment, Yan Rong swung his long spear, together with the roar of twelve city-breaking spears.

"Shattered in unison!"

The City Breaking Spear let out a deafening whistling sound, and Yan Rong instantly activated the super-powerful dual spears and rushed forward at the same time. As the only person here who could capture the foreign affairs officer's movements, she still accurately attacked several places of the foreign affairs officer. Crucially, this also forced the foreign affairs officer to reverse the naginata he had slashed out, and waved a streak of blue flames in the air, stopping all twelve city-breaking spears.

The offensive failed to achieve results for a while, and Robert's burning light sword and Ana's saber had already come to the foreign affairs officer's back.

"fry."

With a soft moan, the remaining flaming heads of the dog and the wolf exploded behind the Foreign Affairs Officer, and the air wave instantly hindered the attack of the two. , knocked the two of them into the air, and then turned the blade and continued to slash at Yan Rong!
This time, Yan Rong could only stagger her two guns to block it. Amidst a huge earthquake, she suddenly knelt on one knee, cracks appeared on the masonry pavement under her feet, and the foreign affairs officer was also slightly surprised.At this time, Lu Ning had already charged back, and the dagger was drawn out, but the foreign affairs officer didn't even look at it and hit an invisible backhand.

"40 seconds... Your strength is beyond my expectation." The foreign affairs officer looked at Yan Rong, "Especially you, Hei Ke, has the strength of Huangyuan reached this point now?"

Yan Rong stared at the Foreign Affairs Officer with her arms hanging down. After taking that move, it was already difficult for her to raise her arms, but if she tried harder, she could still move them, but what's the point?

It was obvious that Robert and Ana's chest was not simply poked. The two were struggling to get up from the ground, but they couldn't slow down for a while. It was also impossible for Lu Ning to help in this kind of battle.

"Time is running out, now—" Seeing that no one answered, the foreign affairs officer raised his knife again.At this moment, his footsteps moved back a bit, and his figure swayed half a meter. A ball of warm white fire ignited between him and Lu Ning, and disappeared after a few jumps.

"We don't care which nobleman you belong to! Don't try to hurt our friends in front of us!"

The foreign affairs officer raised his head and looked at the low room next to him.Lan Tu, Dorothy, Dan Sheng and Pa Xi stood there, Lan Tu raised his right hand, holding a ball of white flame in his palm, while Dorothy pointed all the guns in his direction, with a face full of righteous indignation expression.

"Mr. Foreign Affairs Officer, we have an agreement with the nobles." Lan Tu said flatly, "As someone who handles some trivial matters for the nobles, we can have the necessary understanding of certain situations, and you have no right to conduct regular inspections on us. Follow-up measures."

"This is not a routine incident." The foreign affairs officer laughed.

"It's the same, it's just a matter of size. Mr. Foreign Affairs Officer, let me just say it straight. If you insist on sticking with us to the end, we are definitely not your opponent, but I think I still have the ability to make you late." Lan Tu Shaking his head slightly.

"Are you threatening me?" The foreign affairs officer smiled even brighter.

"Don't dare, I know you have no problem even killing us here, but still, you will be late. 1 minute has passed, how much time is left before you have to rush there? I think Compared with the tasks directly assigned by the nobles, these after-dinner things don't have to be so serious, right?"

Lan Tu's words were ambiguous, and the foreign affairs officer slightly narrowed his eyes, and finally waved his hands, and the two of them disappeared at the exit of the alley.Lan Tu breathed a sigh of relief after he left, and the four jumped off the roof to check everyone's situation.

"Ana and this brother got acupuncture points, and the two fainted ones suffered from Soul Losing Slash, Yan Rong had slight muscle strain and bone damage, and Lu Ning had a strain." Very professional, he analyzed the injury clearly in a few seconds, "Then the foreign affairs officer did not kill him."

"That's rude enough!" Dorothy helped Yan Rong to apply the ointment on her, "Nobles have always done things like this! If we hadn't arrived in time, that guy would definitely bring everyone down. After that ? The monsters may kill these defenseless people when they come over!"

"Don't be angry...Dorothy..." Dan Sheng urged frantically.

"You guys, come here and do me a favor. If you can, you can lift it. It's important to get out of this damn place quickly. Fortunately, the scale is not large this time, so we can come here in time." Lan Tu pointed to the gangsters , Those few rushed over to help lift everyone up.The four muscular geeks who were blocking the road before had been killed by the foreign affairs officer, and there was no need to take a long detour. They left the designated block safely under the detection of Pao.

"Thank you, I owe you another life." Ana managed to calm down, "That shitty foreign affairs officer..."

"Don't we owe each other enough? There's no need to be so divided." Lan Tu lit a cigarette, "Yan Rong, Lu Ning, how do you two feel?"

"Nearly dying." Yan Rong said seriously, "That foreign officer is really strong. Is this the strength of a nobleman?"

"The things they know are very complicated. In order to improve their strength, they learn everything, use everything, and dare to try everything." Lan Tu nodded, "The same is true for Eosek before. People can empty it, but these people must follow the instructions of the nobles, and usually if it does not involve treasures or large-scale events handled by the nobles themselves, the foreign affairs officer will not do it."

Yan Rong looked at Lu Ning, who also nodded slightly.

So the task of collecting royal badges in this mission is obviously not a hard one, or at least the difficulty of combat acquisition has reached a certain unreachable level.

"In short, you have taken a life, and this is something to be thankful for."

"Lan Tu, can I ask you something?" Lu Ning said.

"Oh... the things you usually ask are very serious, but I'd better listen to them." Lan Tu nodded.

"Your conversation with foreign affairs officers...it sounds like you have had some dealings with foreign affairs officials. Do you know some foreign affairs officials?"

Lan Tu was silent for a while this time with a cigarette in between.

"Lan Tu, do you really know the foreign officer?" Dorothy was surprised.

"I can't say too much, especially to you, Lu Ning." Lan Tu took a deep puff of a cigarette, "I can only say that I do know foreign officials, and I am familiar with some of the rules here. It's good for you, understand?"

Seeing his attitude, Lu Ning knew there was something else hidden, so she stopped asking.

During the whole night of dealing with the incident of Brilliant Sacrifice, those gangsters and office workers had already been dismissed, and the old people in Uncle Deng's restaurants were placed in a cheap hotel to rest.Afterwards, when Lu Ning talked with Ana and Dorothy, she realized that her group had almost avoided being involved in the whole incident, so the foreign affairs officer didn't pay much attention to these people in the final assessment.

This can be confirmed, of course, because Dorothy and Dan Sheng were actually involved in a major event handled by nobles, a floating bird's nest event officially named "Silicon Crystal", which affected an urban area of ​​six square kilometers, and even secondary derivative events continued. For nine days, the death toll was close to 8, and no other statistics were even released.

"So you are lucky." Dorothy looked at Ana with her chin resting on her cheeks. "Half of Dan Sheng's body was replaced with a silicon material, and even his speech was affected. I lost my sense of touch permanently and my bones softened." This is the problem that falls after being really involved in the incident, and even the hospital in Mist can't cure this disease."

"Sorry, Mr. Lan Tu, I want to know how my two friends are doing." Robert talked to Lan Tu in a low voice on the other side.

"That move is not a fatal attack. It is a short-distance shot of the soul out of the human body, resulting in a coma due to incoordination between the soul and the flesh. Depending on the physique, you will wake up in about one to three days. If you are prepared enough, you can still survive this time. past."

Robert didn't look happy, but even more depressed.

"If I'm not wrong in my judgment, is there any discord in your team?" Yan Rong spoke suddenly.

"Uh……"

"I remember that there were six of you, but now there are only three left. It stands to reason that you should not split up like this, after all..."

Yan Rong said it in a rather cryptic way, but all tourists understand the meaning.When newcomers don't know much about the surrounding environment, it's not normal to split up and act directly.Lu Ning still has the advantages of Wen Dongyang and his own black-carved physique, but the three of Luo Bei belong to a small group in the outer city at a glance. They are separated at night, and now they have such unspeakable expressions. One can imagine.

"Oh? The team you just put together?" Lan Tu glanced at Robert, "Your equipment is not bad, are you the teammates you found after being broken up?"

"Let's be like this." Robert sighed, "Those three people have known each other before, and they are very powerful, so they are a little xenophobic towards others. In short, if we don't really have no way to cooperate with them, we wouldn't run out like this .”

"I don't care about the affairs of other teams." Lan Tu shook his head, "Although your strength is not bad, but once the danger in the outer city occurs, you will easily die inside."

Robert opened his mouth, but did not speak.

"Let's take a rest here today. It used to be a drug dealer's lair. It was abandoned after being kicked out, and no one came." Lan Tu walked towards the door, smoking a cigarette, "It's always better to sleep."

Dorothy stretched her waist: "Yes, I was almost sleepy after running out in the middle of the night, although it's already dawn..."

"Take a nap." Yan Rong casually found a hard bed and lay down, "Thank you for the ointment, it's very useful."

"You're welcome." Dorothy waved her hand.

Lu Ning recalled the collected information, found a chair and closed her eyes slightly.Lan Tu walked outside with a cigarette in his mouth, and at the same time took away the smell of smoke from the room.

The morning light in the outer city is still dim, and the dark clouds in the sky seem to never dissipate, just like the haze that hangs over people's hearts.

"It's all done?"

"Yeah... Thank you for notifying me, it was almost too late to save Ana." Lan Tu raised her head, and on the eaves of this abandoned building stood a white-haired man in a white sacrificial robe with a long staff in his hand. For women, there is a "Mist" coat of arms painted in gold patterns on a ribbon near the neckline of the robe.

"It's just to reduce our troublesome work." The woman said without emotion, "It happens that you are the most suitable candidate."

"Yeah, I'm always the right one." Lan Tu threw the cigarette butt under her feet and stamped it out, "It's really incomprehensible for the nobles, and now even you make me a little incomprehensible. In order to reduce your own troubles, just Let ordinary people suffer all kinds of suffering?"

"I don't think you want to hear the reason, so that's the result." The woman's eyes were closed all the time, and they didn't open them at this moment, but she could feel that she was "looking" into the room.

"I want to hear the reason!"

"Then the reason is that nobles don't need to make simple things too complicated. It's just that what is simple for us is complicated for other nobles, and vice versa, so ordinary people will suffer."

"You can see...it's quite clear." Lan Tu was discouraged all of a sudden, "Forget it, I don't care about what to do, at least you are alive, which means that the nobles can still do something."

"See you then." The woman nodded, her body turned into bits of broken light and disappeared.

Lu Ning turned the electronic eye back. Of course, the eyelids can't stop the eye from visiting, and after collecting some data, she also knows why Lan Tu doesn't seem to be telling herself the relevant news.

Mist and Heike obviously have a natural incompatibility. The connection between the bleak mist and the wasteland probably made the relationship between Heike and this line of nobles not very good. It happened that Lan Tu knew Mist's foreign affairs officer.

She felt that the foreign officer should have seen her, but it was the same as the attitude of the nobles, and she didn't care about this level of inquiry.

It seems that this trip to the outer city will be here first, and the next goal is to explore the ruins step by step. If you can get one or two treasures, you might have the capital to trade with the nobles.

Lu Ning turned off the electronic eye and really took a rest.

=
On the wasteland at this time, a battle had just ended when the morning came.

"Hmm...not tasty."

"Xiao Jing, butchers can't eat them."

"But if you don't taste it while you're alive, you won't be able to eat it when you die and turn into ashes."

"Hey... don't stuff everything into your mouth, you child."

This is a group of six Hei Ke, wearing the same costumes as Lu Ning, and this means that without exception, these six people all chose speed-type costumes. Although the weapons are slightly different, they are all light and agile like swords A swift weapon.

"I said... Jiuzhu Hirama, is it really the right way to crack it if we call directly like this? Why do I think the chaotic scene is not that simple?" A short-haired man sat on the hillside with a grass in his mouth, looking at it. Looking at a depression in the distance, there is a fire there, which is not very clear.

"We will still negotiate first, but if we don't want to negotiate, we can only use weapons to speak. Isn't this the same rule in this world?" Jiuzhu Hirama pulled the girl squatting next to the butcher up, "Every time as long as Once you conquer them, you can get the information, which is very convenient.”

"After the search for the ruins is over, we should start preparing to join the camp and go to the outer city." Another man with a jade-like face said lightly, "The past of the dead country, except for all kinds of monsters, so far there are still A name like Dead Country doesn’t matter.”
