Chapter 133 The safest place

There are white waves and black sea under your feet, the broken moon above your head, and the towering black tower in front of you.

The girl felt like a little mouse was crawling around, rustling, and her uneasy mood was always scratching her quietly in the dark.

However, Ji Chunzao felt that there was nothing he could do.

The only thing she could do was stare blankly, clenching her hands into fists subconsciously, and then loosening them slumpedly after a while.

Suddenly, a small sound sounded in her ears.

If you were in the real world, this sound that seemed to be tickling your ears would probably be easily ignored; but this place was so quiet. Ji Chunzao could only hear the crisp crack at the moment when the black tower broke through the moon. sound.

There is a vast expanse of sea under your feet, but you can't hear the sound of waves, not even the sound of wind.

The girl's ears moved slightly and caught the sound. She realized she had a chance and immediately concentrated.

As the thought of "longing to hear" surged deep in her heart, the voice actually became louder and clear enough for her to hear clearly——

"Can there be a next time?"

Although Yan Jingxing only had time to say a few words to her, there were still several pieces of information that made her concerned in his words. Ji Chunzao put aside his worries about himself and became more worried about his partner opposite him. their situation.

Hearing the boy's familiar voice, Ji Chunzao opened his eyes wide in surprise, and the panic and loneliness that had been lingering deep in his heart suddenly disappeared.

This is indeed a dream, she thought.

Yan Jingxing remembered that when he and Ji Chunzao were not friends, the girl explained to him the operating mode of her ability in her own way: it was like being able to touch a receiver of radio signals from other channels, so she could " Seeing” and “calling” alien creatures.

Will she be left alone again?

"It's not true, but your dreams may affect reality."

Yan Jingxing felt a little embarrassed when he saw his weak performance, but he still had to ask the questions that should be asked.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. With my ability, it is not easy to be an antenna that relays signals from two worlds."

"Time is limited, so I won't go into the specific principles. In short, the most important thing right now is to wake you up. But we can't help you specifically on how to leave the dreamland, you can only control it yourself."

The priest himself has shown no fighting prowess since the encounter, relying on the protection of the young men around him. He thought that this person was just sent by the intellectuals and appeared beside them simply as an adult to command the children. He did not expect that he had such ability.

He pressed his temples regretfully and turned his head.

"I know, don't worry yet."

"Bah la... there's only so much I can do... bah la... I will protect you in reality, but if you want to solve the problem, the key is still on you... bah la bah..."

His voice sounded like it was coming from a radio, and there was always a floating noise in the background caused by radio interference.

"what……!"

Yan Jingxing's tone was serious and serious. After the first words, it seemed as if someone was talking to him next to him. He repeated word for word:

"Someone asked me to tell you that there is only one thing you need to learn: you are the master of your dreams, and in your dreams, you can do anything. Do you hear me?"

The reason why Yan Jingxing was able to connect with Ji Chunzao—to be precise, her consciousness trapped in a dream—relyed on his power.

The man in black sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, like an ascetic monk. His face was pale, dripping with sweat, and his facial muscles were twitching constantly, as if he was engaged in a fierce struggle and entanglement with a terrible opponent in the realm of consciousness.

The other person seemed to be relieved.

The noise in the background of Yan Jingxing's voice became louder and louder, almost drowning out his own words. Ji Chunzao panicked and nodded desperately in agreement.

At this moment of extreme sadness and loss, an idea flashed in Ji Chunzao's mind.

"I can hear you! I'm here! Jing Xing, where are you now? I, I want to see you!"

"Yes, yes...! You should be careful of other creatures. I just saw that the power of the divine pillar will--"

"Huh? What does this mean?"

It seems that the so-called "sacrifice" all have similar abilities, but they are stronger or weaker in intensity.

The voice seemed to come from her heart. Yan Jingxing said:

"Chun Zao, calm down and listen to me, you are actually dreaming now."

The voice of "over there" suddenly stopped. Yan Jingxing shouted "Hey, hey, hey!" several times, but never received a reply.

"That's good."

"I, I know! Don't leave yet..."

"In other words, everything happening here is not reality..."

she shouted eagerly.

After the contact was lost, the priest opened his eyes and sighed with relief.

"Chun Zao, Chun Zao, can you hear me?"

"dream……?"

The girl put her hands on her chest and widened her eyes nervously. She tried to focus her attention again, but this time no matter how she repeated it, it was no longer effective. Yan Jingxing's voice was gradually leaving him. Go away.

The priest smiled bitterly and reluctantly closed his eyes, but after a moment, he opened his eyes and opened his eyes helplessly.

Considering that their stated original purpose was to help the "Lord Savior (Ji Chunzao)" master the power of the divine pillar, it can be said that the priest himself is the core person in the execution of the plan.

Xie Yuzhi was still behind him. Apart from them, only the priest was left in the ward, and the group of children who had been experimental mice were guarding the door.

"Yes. Yuzhi and I are with you, but you are asleep."

*

"What...what will happen?"

"According to the plan, when the divine pillar first appeared, there was a gap in the process of penetrating the two worlds..." the priest continued, "In fact, only by seizing that gap can my 'sacrifice' ability take effect. , is currently the result of the smooth progress of the plan. It is no longer possible to enter the space where the savior’s consciousness is again, as it has been sealed by the power of the divine seal."

"Next, we can only hope that the Savior can break that shell from the inside."

"...can it really be done?"

"That is a dream that belongs to the savior. If the owner of the dream cannot do it, it is even more impossible for others to intervene."

"Trust her."

The girl standing aside, who had been silent since just now, gently tugged on his sleeve. "……Um."

After being silent, Yan Jingxing nodded slightly. After sighing, he said:

"So what do we do next? Just wait, okay?"

"Be mentally prepared."

Xie Yuzhi raised a finger.

"Chun Zao has given us a reminder just now. It's very important. I'm afraid we won't have a chance to rest. Pay attention to your surroundings."

"Huh? But she hasn't finished speaking yet..."

"Although I haven't finished speaking, I can still make a rough guess." The eldest lady replied, "Mr. Priest has emphasized more than once that the so-called 'divine pillar' is an existence that holds the key power for the evolution of living things, right? "

"..."

"Based on the information we got from elsewhere, we can basically confirm that this is correct."

Xie Yuzhi was talking about what they saw on the alien ruins.

"Perhaps those superpowers...'Priest', 'King' and 'Warrior' all come from the Divine Pillar, but the premise of all this is that the power of the Divine Pillar can operate stably."

"Yes."

"What if it gets out of hand?"

"...It's going to be bad."

"How bad is it? I mean, the pillar symbolizes the evolution of life, but it must not only include us, or intelligent life forms like the Alphas, right?"

"Yes."

The priest sighed.

"Your guess is very sharp. In fact, we intellectuals have always had a guess: the 'invading species' that destroyed the Alpha civilization - they come from all over the universe, are actually 'radiated' by the power of the divine pillar." was born; and after the divine pillars appeared on Alpha Planet, they were all attracted. Because from the perspective of modern biology, it is difficult to imagine that there would be such an unimaginable monster as the 'Overlord' in this world, especially on Alpha Planet It is still an earth-like planet, and to find the root, we can only rely on some more transcendent supernatural power... This is the reason why we value the divine pillar so much."

Xie Yuzhi asked again.

"Then, the creatures on earth may also be affected, right?"

"That's right..."

Before the priest finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the window, and the voice was filled with incredible fear.

People in the ward stopped talking and looked out the window.

It was getting late at this time, the light was dim, and the meadow that was originally soft and shining in the sunshine was shrouded in dim shadows.

At this time, the walking patients, medical staff, and family members should have left. The screams came from the direction near the door of the inpatient building.

After that scream, as if the trigger was pulled, more than one person screamed one after another from the same direction, and then someone shouted loudly, and someone ran hurriedly in the corridor, "Help!" "Run away!" "There were many panic-filled shouts, including the sounds of doors being pushed open and people falling on the corridor.

The door of this ward located deep in the corridor was also pushed open, and the people who walked in were young white-robed soldiers guarding the door.

No. 7 looked serious, and he confirmed to the priest and Yan Jingxing:

"The situation is not good. Someone attacked the hospital. Do we want to get out of here?"

Yan Jingxing's eyes returned to the hospital bed.

If you want to leave here, it means moving to a new safe place with Ji spring algae.

"Are there any better options?"

The priest shook his head slowly.

"When we first came here, we didn't know the situation here..."

"Well, that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter where."

Yan Jingxing said.

Unexpected changes followed one after another. Before that, he could not help but be worried and anxious... but when the crisis really hit them, his mood calmed down.

What needs to be done is just to find ways to deal with them.

"——The safest place is where I am."

The person he wanted to protect was right in front of him, and he would never give in.

"boom!"

The glass of the hospital room was knocked out of the crack, and a black shadow then entered from the open gap and rushed towards the girl on the hospital bed at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to follow.

Seeing this scene, Yan Jingxing raised his hand and made a "finger snap" gesture with an expressionless expression.

Within a hundredth of a second, his fingertips were wrapped in proliferating white bones - "partial clothing". After repeated training, he has been able to achieve this level of precise control, thus greatly extending the control of the prototype. Control time, because the power of the white giant is too huge, and most of the time the whole body is wasting energy;

Within one-fiftieth of a second, the ejected fingers of the body penetrated the air, and the violent friction dyed the air red and white; like a ignited bomb, it released huge heat, and even caused the air in different locations to change into different movements that changed violently. The medium, from which the “cavity” is born;

"boom!"

Within one-twentieth of a second, the shock wave set off by Yan Jingxing's supersonic finger snap shot out like a bullet from the barrel. The destructive power contained in it was precisely controlled within the sliding range of the cavity. From the hospital bed Passing above.

A tenth of a second later, the black figure that jumped out of the window was accurately hit. In an instant, the head deformed and exploded, and steaming blood sprayed on the wall behind; then, there was a wind in the room out of thin air - that was the aftermath. Strong wind.

……

Yan Jing walked to the window and took a deep breath.

"—!"

What was "partially clothed" this time was his mouth and mouth. The clustered sonic pulse cannon released from it was like an indestructible torrent, sweeping along the courtyard outside the window. The terrifying impact shocked all living things within a few hundred meters. Everything was blasted into powder, and dozens of plasmas of different sizes were splashed on the meadow at the same time.

After sweeping away the group of monsters that rushed toward the hospital building like a tide, he casually wrapped the corpses on the ground with curtains and threw them out.

Before that, Yan Jingxing glanced at the black shadow's appearance.

Although the head has been blown to pieces by the shock wave, you can still barely see that this is a creature that is deformed based on a cat, but it is also mixed with insect limbs, rat mouths and dog hair. This twisted creature Anyone who looks at it at first glance will inevitably feel disgusted.

"This is... affected by the evolutionary power of the 'God Pillar'..."

Yan Jingxing shook his head and closed the window.
