Returning from the abyss

Chapter 629
Yan Rong saw the opportunity and broke the soldier's chain stick. After taking a few steps back, he stopped the attack in his hand.

"Hey! Why don't you fight?" Yan Rong yelled instead.

"The rule is that if you can win one and a half moves, you have passed. If you can find a counterattack opportunity in my rush attack, or even destroy the chain configuration, you have already won."

Yan Rong was a little disappointed when the soldier said this: "This counts as a win? Hey, you obviously didn't use all your strength, did you?"

"Young man, do you still want to continue stealing from my subordinates?"

Another voice came from the top of his head. When Yan Rong looked up, he found that someone was standing on the chain between the boulders, his whole body was shrouded in shadow, only a pair of eyes were golden, as if they could shine by themselves.

"Legion Commander." The soldier immediately gave a military salute.

"Ask me here to verify the identity of the residents of the inner city? Stand up."

The legion leader jumped off the chain and landed next to the wall. The light illuminated her face, and Lu Ning could see some differences between her and the photo.

The black military uniform has not changed much, but her face no longer has the slightly happy and relaxed expression in the photo. The most obvious change is her facial hair, almost all of which have turned into a snow-white color, not due to age Aging is caused, but the simplest reason is fading.Probably aware of Lu Ning's gaze, the head of the legion turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"

"No... nothing."

The head of the legion didn't care, and took off a walkie-talkie-like device from his waist, and when the five of Lu Ning walked up to him, he scanned his face one by one, but he didn't even ask.

"Excuse me...can I confirm my identity in this way?" Jean was a little puzzled.

"To put it bluntly, the identities of the residents of the inner city are all granted now. You just need to check in the warehouse. It doesn't matter how you obtained your identities." Clearly, of course I can barely remember what it was like there, and I can't say much more."

"Have you been here for a long time?" Zhu Qinyuan asked.

"I can't remember the time, my legion and I haven't had any shifts for a long time, maybe some people are gone now." The legion leader put the instrument back on his waist, "There is no problem with your identity, you can get on the bus. "

"When will the car arrive?"

"Now."

Lu Ning heard the sound of birds chirping from afar, and then suddenly a cyan mist rose from the platform surrounded by the wall. As the mist cleared, a huge train stopped. on the platform.The whole body of this train is dark, full of cold and hard metal feeling, a huge "D" is poured on the front of the train, and there are countless ghost carvings on the carriage.About ten seconds later, the car door slowly opened, white cold light shone from inside the car, and at the same time gushed out cold air, even Lu Ning, who was a black engraver, couldn't help shivering.

"The ghost train will arrive at the station in the inner city of the capital without any stops. When you board the train, you will see many people. They are passengers who boarded at a different time from you. Don't worry." The legion leader said.

"Thank you." Lu Ning nodded to her.

"Get in the car, I wish you all can gain something in the inner city of the capital."

After saying this, the legion commander turned and left.This was supposed to be the legendary strong man who survived the same year as the dark sage, but Lu Ning couldn't find any chance to ask her about what happened back then.

"Let's go." The teams of Lu Ning and Liu Yunqing, a total of 12 people, stepped into the Nether Train one by one.

After slowly getting used to the coldness, the train only had a somewhat icy atmosphere.Everyone could see that there were passengers sitting in some seats, but they were all asleep with their eyes closed, and they could tell that they were still alive just from the slightly rising and falling chests.The equipment on these people is also obviously combat-type characters, or there is a mission to get on this train.

"Ok?"

When passing by a seat, Lu Ning saw a person sitting upright. It was Robert—one of the three tourists who escaped from the glorious sacrifice incident together. It was only Chai Ying and Ise who were with him now. They were all gone, only he was sitting on the seat, closing his eyes and not hearing anything.

"Let's just sit here." After finding a vacant seat, everyone sat down on the seats. Even Bi Sheng was awake at this time, but he was a little weak, and even Hei Ke couldn't do anything without an arm. No.

When Lu Ning was sitting on the seat, she felt a chill rushing from her spine to the top of her head, which was more piercing than the temperature in the train, and even her thinking began to slow down.

"I seem to understand why these guys are going to sleep..." Yan Rong whispered beside her, "I... also... think..."

Lu Ning couldn't hold back her drowsiness, so she slowly closed her eyes.

……

The dead and the living, a world far and bewildered.

"What if I told you... that I can solve your problems?"

A voice with a hint of playfulness said so.

"Your medical skills are superb, but medical skills are ultimately the art of immortality. No one can escape from the cycle of life and death." This time it was the king's voice.

"Medical skills are just derivatives of my research. Healing diseases and saving lives is indeed very meaningful, but it is not as good as life and death, the ultimate puzzle of life."

"you--"

"When His Majesty the King recruited me, didn't he know what the research I was really doing? Hahaha." The voice laughed happily, and the king was obviously a little helpless.

"You are studying life and death? It is very difficult to have a final conclusion on this subject."

"But I did find the entrance to the Netherland."

"What did you say?"

"The place in charge of reincarnation, the netherworld, the place where ghosts go, and the place where countless legends say that life should arrive after the end of life. If you want, just end your own reincarnation, then you will always keep this Young and energetic, with eternal time to slowly repair this country."

"Isabel...it's taboo."

"What taboo? Are there still few taboos to be broken since the development of civilization? Just take my colleagues, who has something in their hands that is not something that people in the past feared? King, if you want to change, you must change fundamentally. Everything! Otherwise what is the development of technology for?”

……

"They didn't die."

"People are still alive and suffering."

"Life doesn't change life, and this kingdom...will go to ruin."

"We need new nationals."

"I still need you."

Lu Ning opened her eyes with difficulty, she felt a little stiff all over, but other than that, she didn't feel any discomfort.Turning her eyes slightly, she turned her gaze to the opposite side. Jean and Yuan Jie had also woken up and were slowly moving their frozen bodies. At this time, Lu Ning noticed that there was a golden light projected from the outside of the car window. like sunlight.

It took about a minute for Lu Ning to regain the mobility of her limbs. She raised her arms and wiped her face. After slowly feeling that she could move, she began to move her body.

Then Yan Rong slapped her on the shoulder, and the fiery red net covered her body. The coldness was quickly dissipated, and the temperature from the heart and blood vessels poured into her limbs. In a blink of an eye, Lu Ning was free active.

"Is there any use for this treasure of yours?"

"Stimulate the body's activity, it's a very basic method." Yan Rong went on to help other people relax their tendons and blood circulation, while Lu Ning got up and took a look at the carriage.Most of the passengers were moving their bodies, recovering from the cold and stiff body, and the door had already been opened, she came to the door, looked outside, and was taken aback for a moment.

The golden warm natural light is like the warm sun in golden autumn, and the comforting temperature falls on the body. Compared with the stressful outer city and the chilling wasteland, it is like another world.However, the golden-yellow buildings and streets seen under the sun are a broken wall that makes people feel empty.

It was even difficult for Lu Ning to describe her inner feelings.The houses, walls, and the bricks and stones that make up the streets here are not piled up with moss or dust, as if they just became what they are today.There are only mottled cracks carved by the years on those stones that seem to be soaked in stories, and some wooden sheds on the old streets are only half-collapsed, without any decay. Products of.There are all kinds of buildings in a more distant place, some cracks, or half of them collapsed, but the reason for all this has long been submerged in nowhere.

Hollowness—that was all she could sense about the sight.A well-preserved city that has not been decayed can even make people picture the prosperity of the past in their minds. Specifically, who should be here and what they are doing... But everything is gone.

"This is the inner city?" A tired voice sounded beside her. She turned her head and saw an old man in an old suit. Looking out of the car door through the blurred lens, two young men hurried over to support him. Lu Ning looked at the weapons on the two, and knew that the two were probably bodyguards who had brought the old man over. figure.

The Nether Train has no intermediate stations, and the inner city is the only target, but Lu Ning seems to understand some of the old man's feelings, she slightly moved out of the way, and the old man tremblingly walked to the door, stretched out his hand, as if wanting to hold A handful of golden sunlight, but of course the fragments of that light cannot be grasped by anyone.

"Why... why..."

More people have also woken up, and most of them are coming to the inner city of the capital for the first time, and the appearance of the inner city really shocked them.

Compared with the outer city, people imagine that the inner city should be prosperous and the life is good. The seven nobles work together to maintain stability and use the most advanced technology... No one thought that the inner city would be so desolate.

Lu Ning heard the noise behind her, turned around, and found that her companions had already walked over.

"Unexpected, isn't it?" Yan Rong raised the corner of his mouth, "But...no matter what it is, we have to face it, let's go, Lu Ning."

"We will also be together. Although we have handed over several treasures, we still have some backup means in our hands." Liu Yunqing also said.

"Yeah." Lu Ning nodded and stepped out of the car door.

Without any abnormalities, she has already set foot on the land of the inner city of the royal capital.Despite the desolation here, the entire inner city is so huge that you can't see the edge at a glance, and the urban planning is much more neat than the blindly built outer city. No matter how damaged it is, it still does not lose its grandeur.The light in the sky is not real sunlight, and there are not even similar stars, but the sky itself is emitting light.

"It's really warm." Zhu Qinyuan looked up at the sky, while Lu Ning looked at Zhu Qinyuan instead.

Ever since he fused the treasures on his body, Zhu Qinyuan seemed to have remained in that fused state. His body was covered with blue light of time, and besides the knife provided by the distribution center, there were three pointers in his hand, unlike Lu Ning at all. After the fusion with Yan Rong, it will return to its original state.It's not that Lu Ning can't show the fusion state of "Suddenly Yesterday", but it takes a lot of energy to maintain it, and the cost is similar to that of cutting the past, so she doesn't use it easily.

However, Yan Rong can activate and deactivate the fusion state relatively freely, which seems to be a property that varies from treasure to treasure.

As for Lian Bisheng... He doesn't care much about losing his treasure, and he doesn't think about the power he can't control. He is quite open-minded about it.

"Where should we go?" Yan Rong suddenly asked a question.

"In the inner city of the capital, there should be many ruins. The dark sage said so. Of course...we still have to find the three locations in the mission. By the way, we will also meet the boss of Yoshimitsu Kataha. From there, we can probably get More information." Lu Ning has already considered these things, "Although it is a bit unexpected that there is no one in the inner city, our plan will not change. We have already obtained the position of Jiguang Katayu's boss before, how about starting from here? "

"No problem." Jean nodded, "Let me add, maybe we can find the former site of the seven nobles here."

"Yes, the canonization of the king will definitely be carried out here. Including the predecessors of the seven nobles, the head of the fourth legion, and those who once played an important role in the kingdom have all had footprints here. It is so completely preserved Most of the traces, it is not particularly difficult to find relevant clues." Lian Bisheng said.

"First of all..." Lu Ning took out a photo with a note on it, "The refining factory, Emerald Green Street. This is the address of Boss Yoshimitsu Kataha. At least there are still some living people here waiting for us to visit."

At this time, a voice came from behind the crowd: "I'm sorry...can you take me with you?"

Lu Ning turned her head and saw that Robert had tightly wrapped her cloak and looked at everyone with a gloomy expression.

"Your friend……"

"Turn train."

Obviously, Chai Ying and Ise failed to make it to the finish line.
