Embers Ad Infinitum

By the campfire, Davis leaned against the front of an old world military vehicle.

Wearing a black windbreaker and a beard, his eyes were full of panic and fear, but he had a grandiose smile on his face. He burst out bubbles from time to time, and blinked quickly at intervals like cramps.

He kept shaking his hands up and down, and his body was shrouded in illusory darkness.

The darkness is like mist, originating from his left pocket, sometimes shaking like water, sometimes as deep as night.

This is the relic hunter who has just returned from the ruins of Scarlet Wilderness No. 9. He and his team have also got rid of the chase of two high-level "unintentional people"... What extraordinary things did he bring out of the ruins? Items that can connect to the "new world"? Any numbered ruins are not simple... Jiang Baimian thoughts were mixed, Shang Jian Yao was like performing an old-world gymnastics, while standing upside down, he split his legs and let one of them point towards Davis.

Gnawa "understood", stepped over and rushed to Davis's side.

Although he can't see the source of the "darkness" and don't know where the problem is, as an intelligent person, he has his best method:

Exhausted!

Gnawa first pointed to the sunglasses clipped on Davis's trench coat. Seeing that Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were motionless, they switched to a mechanical watch on each other's wrist.

After so many trials and errors, he finally reached his palm and pressed it to the left pocket of the black windbreaker.

Hey, Shang Jianyao swelled his palms with his feet without shoes and socks.

Jiang Baimian was very thankful that she was standing upside down and couldn't see the distorted picture, but she only imagined that she felt that Shang Jian Yao was bringing the "chaos" on that terrifying cruise ship into reality.

The most emotionally complicated thing is that one of the feet used by Shang Jianyao to applaud is still holding the "Six Consciousness Beads".

Gnawa, who received positive feedback, flashed a red light in his eyes, and put his bone-like palm made of metal into the pocket.

Soon, he took out an item.

It was a gray and black silver necklace. The pendant was in the shape of a cross, and its surface was also inlaid with one after another fine diamonds.

Suddenly, Gnawa's arm was stiffening in the air.

While squatting, the red light in his eyes kept flashing, but his silver-black body remained motionless.

In the "eyes" of Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, "darkness" is pouring out of the old but delicate pendant.

It is as quiet as a lake in a windless night.

When Shang Jian Yao saw it, he blew a few bubbles.

He wants to wake up Gnawa!

The action of speaking will be reconnected to blowing bubbles, and Shang Jianyao carefully blows up the bubbles, trying to reconnect to the action of speaking.

But for a while, he couldn't figure out the more complicated corresponding laws. Although he really opened his mouth and made a sound, it was limited to a single syllable:

"Puff puff!"

This made Jiang Baimian want to laugh again, and fearful.

At this moment, Gnawa did not respond to Shang Jianyao’s "call" at all, as if being possessed by a ghast, or by someone pressing the freeze button, squatting stupidly next to Davis, becoming a "hanging" color. Statue of lamp.

Even for smart robots, nodes that touch the "new world" will be affected? Jiang Baimian turned his mind, alternated his hands, and quickly approached Davis and Gnawa in an inverted posture.

Shang Jian Yao was unwilling to fall behind and gave up trying to speak, and ran with his hands abruptly.

This scene is so funny that the hunters around can't help but want to laugh.

But what appeared on their faces was panic and fear that could not be concealed.

After arriving at Genawah, Jiang Baimian adjusted for a while, and finally supported his whole body with his right hand.

She then tried to "raise" her left leg and let her left palm leave the ground.

When he aimed his palm at Gnawa, Jiang Baimian felt a little hesitant in his heart.

What she wanted to do next was to imitate Shang Jianyao's secret laboratory in the wasteland 13 ruins with a large current impinging on the "New World" node, temporarily destroying it, relying on the high voltage stored in her electric eel-type biological prosthesis. The current briefly suppressed the "darkness" that gushed out of the cross pendant, and bought time for the "danger" to be transferred away.

However, there is still a big difference between the two things. At least the "New World" node in the secret laboratory of the wasteland 13 ruins did not plunge the surrounding humans into chaos, but simply acted as the artificial intelligence "future" to manipulate electromagnetics. The passage is relatively harmless.

And today's "new world" node is affecting nearby humans on a large scale, as if there is a certain consciousness hidden in it.

Therefore, for the impact of high-voltage current, it may not be passively beaten like the one in the laboratory. Jiang Baimian's attempt may bring bad results.

At that time, the entire "old tune group" has a high probability of dying here.

In comparison, it seems a better way to drive away from this camp while still being able to turn the steering wheel with your feet and press the accelerator.

However, in this way, the "rooted" Gnawa will undoubtedly be abandoned, anyway, the robot will not suffer from "intentional disease", and after the abnormality disappears, it can be rescued.

Of course, the escape strategy also has certain potential risks. The members of the "old-tone group" who have been affected or eroded by the "darkness" are likely to be unable to escape the subsequent outbreak of "intentional illness" even if they ran to the ends of the world.

After thinking for a few seconds, Jiang Baimian gritted his teeth and made a decision.

Anyway, try it with a high-voltage current shock!

Evasion cannot really solve the problem!

After the impact of the high-voltage current has worsened the abnormality, consider staying away from this camp. There is still a chance.

With such a mentality, Jiang Baimian, under the pressure of losing his companions, raised his left hand with difficulty, barely aligning his palm with the cross pendant.

In the crackling sound, silver-white arcs jumped out, entangled into a giant python, and slashed into the palm of Gnawa holding the weird object.

Davis, who was sitting at the front of the military vehicle next to him, couldn't lower his head to the side. He couldn't see what Jiang Baimian had done. He only knew that his vision was instantly filled with the burst of silver light.

The high-voltage current hit the cross pendant, and the "darkness" that spread out from there shook violently.

At this moment, Jiang Baimian felt his eyes cast from infinity, and fell on her body, which made her blood freeze and her thinking slow.

However, this seemed to be an illusion caused by the dispelling of the eroded "darkness", and everything quickly returned to normal.

This includes the actions of hunters around.

Davis spouting bubbles blurted out:

"Throw away that necklace!"

Noting that "Darkness" had retracted inside the cross pendant, Jiang Baimian also quickly issued an order to Genawah:

"Throw it five kilometers away, it would be better to bury it!"

Gnawa, who still has small electric currents running around on his body, seemed to have had a dream just now. In the dream, he was reunited with his wife and daughter in Tarnan.

He woke up feeling a little melancholy, and he heard Jiang Baimian's voice.

Without hesitation, Gnawa made a big jump in place, leaping dozens of meters away.

Then, holding the old cross pendant, he ran out of the feeling of a car driving at high speed.

During the run, he made the electric shock module he installed aim at the object in his hand, and if something went wrong, he would immediately take emergency measures.

In just over two minutes, Gnawa rushed a full five kilometers.

Boom!

He fired a grenade and blasted a shallow crater in the heavily polluted wild grassy wilderness.

With a snap, he threw the cross pendant in.

After getting out of contact with this object, Gnawa was no longer in such a hurry, and carefully found dirt and stones to fill in the shallow hole.

At this time, the hunters in the camp had returned to normal, Jiang Baimian also stood up, cancelled the binding of his right foot and left leg, and threw the "Angel of Life" necklace back into Shang Jianyao's tactical backpack.

Shang Jian Yao reluctantly gave up the inverted state.

Seeing that all eyes were on this side, Jiang Baimian said to Davis and his team, the relic hunter who wore a black trench coat and kept his beard:

"Is that what you brought out of Ruins 9?"

Davis nodded in fear:

"Yes, I saw it had special abilities, so I brought it out."

"Have no such anomaly happened before?" Some other relic hunters asked dissatisfiedly not far away.

This almost led to the destruction of everyone in the camp!

Fortunately, the beauty and her companion seemed to have similar experiences and knew how to deal with it.

Davis and his companion looked at each other, frowned slightly and said:

"It seems to have happened, but every time it returned to normal within five minutes."

"Then why don't you throw it away?" Jiang Baimian raised his eyebrows.

Davis’s statement made her feel that it was an anomaly similar to the horror cruise ship:

Both are repeated many times in a period of time, but now one has an end, and the other has not yet developed to that stage.

Seeing the eyes that looked at him and the others all brought obvious anger, Davis, who was originally confident and calm, whispered and said:

"We are going to throw it away~www.readwn.com~ but, but..."

"But what?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

Davis and several of his companions replied in unison:

"forget!"

"Forgot?" Some hunters didn't believe it, while others showed a pensive expression.

Shang Jian Yao rubbed his chin:

"The negative effect of that item is forgetfulness?"

Davis showed a suddenly realized expression:

"So it's like this..."

Jiang Baimian didn't intend to intensify the contradiction. After thinking about it, he deliberately changed the topic:

"Where did you find that item in Ruins 9?"
