"She's coming! The witch is coming! And there's only one person!"
"Fire! Use deadly fire!"
The noise, mixed with screams of fear, echoed in the town on the edge of the desert.
There was also the humming sound of heavy laser guns firing, mixed with the rocket fire from the defensive turrets, as if they were dealing with an army.
The ambush on the edge of the desert had failed.
It was only a matter of time before the wild dogs of the Black Hand Society, who had the advantage in firepower, attacked the town. However, it was obvious that the members of the Eternal Life Society guarding the town did not intend to hand over power peacefully.
Although desert locusts had already sneaked , the defense line set up by the Eternal Life Society outside this well-equipped town was still firing rapidly.
But the breakthrough on the other side of the defense line, facing the hail of bullets, was only one person.
A slender woman wearing a helmet and carrying a light machine gun.
The town's defenders called her a "witch".
The fact that this woman can fill the words of these grown men living in the wasteland with fear means that she is not simple.
No matter whether it was the highly penetrating rays, the plasma grenades hitting the ground, the modified gunpowder weapons, or even the explosion of rockets, none of them could hurt her.
The woman was advancing at a speed that no normal person could possibly achieve.
A layer of cloud-like gauze was wrapped around her body. The destructive attacks fell on the gauze, splashing points of light, but were completely unable to break through.
This is not scientific at all!!!
In the town's third-floor outpost command center, the commander, wearing a black coat and the Eternal Life Society's iconic full-face breathing helmet, slammed his fist on the table.
Looking at the image projected in the optical projection in front of him, he angrily shouted into the microphone-like intercom in a voice with a strong metallic texture:
"HQ, we need backup! Hunters! Missiles! Nukes! Damn it, anything! We're under attack from a supernatural force!
We need support..."
Before the commander finished speaking, he saw on the projection that the witch moved nimbly, braving the hail of bullets, and jumped over the two-meter-high fortifications like a hurdler.
The moment she landed, two red, round objects that looked like red crystals were thrown into the makeshift trench behind her.
"boom"
The next second, flames broke out.
The roaring fire broke out from behind the witch in a way that completely subverted the laws of science. Like a tide, the fierce flames flowed to both sides of the trench.
In less than two seconds, their carefully constructed defenses, weapons, and more than twenty armed men who had no time to escape were all engulfed in the sea of ​​fire.
The commander's life signal projected in front of him was like a candle in the wind, and was extinguished in an instant, blocking the commander's unfinished request for help.
Like a rooster with its neck cut, he could only make a clucking sound in his throat.
One second later.
After seeing the witch rushing out of the sea of ​​fire and charging towards the third-floor outpost, he hurriedly grabbed the pulse rifle at hand and rushed out of the office.
He kicked the machine gunner on the edge of the third floor and shouted in a distorted voice:
"Fire! Fire now! Stop her!"
"Boo-boo-boo"
The defensive laser turret was activated immediately, and the automatic weapon system mounted on top of the outpost, a pulse cannon that was like a small cannon, flexibly changed direction.
Cooperating with the rays stimulated by the rainstorm below, he fired at the attacking witch.
The person running on the ground seemed to have predicted the future, and before the huge laser cannon hit him, he suddenly rolled to the left.
In the dust of the cracked ground, she nimbly hid in an underground shelter nearby.
“Hoo, hoo!”
Ruyue held the gun in her arms and took a few rapid breaths.
She leaned against the side of the bunker, and the red alarm of being locked kept flashing in the prosthetic left eye. The strong firepower from the third-floor outpost was hitting the surroundings of the bunker, making the surroundings look like a desperate battlefield.
"Without spiritual energy around, the power of the Dragon Fire Pearl has been greatly weakened. The magic weapon given by Master is good, but it consumes too much spiritual energy to maintain it."
The secretary glanced at the beautiful string of beads on her waist, shook her head helplessly, and thought to herself:
"We must fight quickly and decisively!"
She threw the gun in her hand into the ring, and took out a black pendant from her slender neck. It was a seal carved to look lifelike.
Ruyue poked his head out of the bunker, took a look at the third-floor sentry post, and then suddenly retracted it.
The attack direction was confirmed again.
Next second.
The secretary poured her remaining spiritual power into the seal in her hand.
Then he stepped back a few steps from the cover, and along the dotted line drawn in front of his left eye's field of vision, he threw the thing in his hand out fiercely as if throwing a grenade.
The moment the stone seal was thrown out, Ruyue grabbed a bottle of Soul Gathering Pill, pulled off the mask, and poured it into her mouth.
The movements were so skillful that he already had some of Boss Jiang's style.
"Shua"
A thumb-sized stone seal flew into the air, and the Mohist talisman engraved on it was activated. As the spiritual power poured into it by Ruyue exploded, the entire seal expanded rapidly against the noisy wind.
In just a moment, it changed from the size of a thumb to a real "flying peak".
It looks like a square rock cut entirely from the top of a mountain.
Ten meters long.
Ten meters wide.
Ten meters high.
The material is ordinary basalt, and its density is about 3.3 tons per cubic meter, so we can do a simple calculation using junior high school math knowledge.
You know the weight of this stone is at least over 3,000 tons.
As for the kinetic energy that comes with it when it hits you, this involves high school physics knowledge. However, since this is not a popular science novel, please let the smart people calculate it yourselves.
In short, the commander who was standing on the edge of the outpost and directing the firepower stopped breathing for a moment.
He and other stubborn protesters in the outpost could only watch with bewilderment and helplessness as the huge rock suddenly appeared and whizzed down from mid-air towards the third-floor outpost in an extremely unscientific manner.
"boom"
With a loud bang, the ground of the entire town shook violently at this moment.
All the noise quieted down.
Ruyue, with a pale face, crawled out of the bunker and looked around. At the location of the three-story sentry post with strong firepower, there was only the "Taishan Seal" engraved with mysterious talismans all around.
The area around where it landed was surrounded by a violent dust storm.
No one could stop her from moving forward.
This was one of the magical weapons for self-defense that Elder Sanbao gave her before she left Mo Shuang Mountain.
It is extremely powerful and indestructible.
But it can only be used once.
The elder also had a genuine "Taishan Seal" made of rare spiritual jade that could be used repeatedly. He instinctively wanted to give that thing to his good disciple as well.
But unfortunately, it is a magic weapon that can only be used by those who have reached the realm of truth.
"Huh?"
Ruyue smoothed her hair and was about to send a message to her boss, but suddenly she detected life activity ahead. She took out a semi-automatic heavy sniper rifle from her ring and held it in her hand.
After walking a dozen steps forward against the flying dust, I saw a guy wearing an Eternal Life Society robe and a full-face breathing helmet, crawling on the ground in a panic.
His lower body was crushed.
There were flickering electric arcs at the wound on the waist, and milky white nutrient solution and black oil stains were flowing out of the shattered machinery.
Like mutated blood...
This may explain why he was able to survive under the pressure of the Taishan Seal.
"A madman with a cybernetic body."
Kisara lowered the semi-automatic heavy sniper in her hand, with the muzzle against the helmet of the Eternal Life Society commander. In the wind and sand, she said:
"I heard about you from Jasmine, and I thought it was just a rumor. But how could a normal person replace his body with metal...
But I didn’t expect that you mechanical fanatics actually exist.”
"Emma won't let you go!"
The commander did not struggle.
Instead, he raised his head and faced the muzzle of Ruyue's gun in a very calm voice with a strong metallic sound, and said:
"Eternal life is destined to change the world!"
"Bang"
In response, he was fired a 12.7mm armor-piercing bullet.
The commander's metal head exploded directly, but it did not shatter into pieces , but instead it was like a metal can with firecrackers stuffed inside.
From the explosive hole, disgusting red and white stuff spurted out.
"There's still a normal brain inside the metal body, but you must have gone crazy."
Ruyue complained.
He put away his rifle and looked around again. There were still many signs of life in the town, but they were probably not the fanatics of the Eternal Life Society. Ruyue was also very surprised.
The door is full of dog brains.
Why are these people still hiding in the town, pretending nothing happened, when there isn't even anyone watching?
"Buzz"
The noisy sound of tracked trucks rolling over the ground rang out outside the town where the smoke had dissipated. In the equally dispersing sand, Ruyue brushed her hair and looked back.
I saw the windshield shattered, and the wasteland heavy truck with a rusty bulldozer component installed in the front, guarded by several armed Bigfoots, crashed into the town in a brutal manner.
The remaining defensive fortifications on the periphery were easily smashed apart by this iron behemoth of the wasteland.
Amid the collapse of machinery and masonry, there were also silent warriors of the Black Hand holding weapons on the firepower platforms welded on the top and sides of the truck.
This scene was extremely violent.
It is full of the wildness that a wasteland should have.
But it was not . Boss Jiang, who was holding a cigar in his mouth, was holding the steering wheel and reliving his few racing experiences in the past.
"Where did that stone come from?"
The truck started to shake, then it braked suddenly and stabilized a few meters in front of Ruyue. The door opened and Rogge jumped out. He saw the crushed boulder at the original location of the outpost at a glance.
He asked Ruyue in confusion.
The secretary shrugged and did not answer. It was too troublesome to explain the working principle of Taishan Seal to these scientists, so she chose to let them figure it out on their own.
"Elder Sanbao is too stingy."
Lao Jiang also jumped out of the car, blowing smoke rings, walked to the secretary who was shrouded in smoke, put his arms around her slender waist, pulled down her mask, and gave her a light kiss as a thank you.
He took another look at the activated form of Taishan Seal.
Complained to Kisaragi:
"He just gave this disposable thing to his own closed disciple?"
"Master wanted to give me something better, but I can't use it."
Kisaragi blushed and whispered:
"The power of this thing is just right. Master has a good eye, but it just feels terrible to have my spiritual power drained away, especially in this world where there is no spiritual power recovery."
"Go and have some rest."
Boss Jiang patted the secretary's back considerately and said:
"Use the elixir to restore your spiritual energy as much as possible. The first battle was a success. Now let Lao Luo take over. We don't need to fight anymore. However, this local tyrant said he wanted to show me the other side of the wasteland.
Are you interested in coming along?"
"That Elysium... I just can't do it."
Ruyue chuckled and reached out to straighten the boss's crooked collar.
explain:
“I’ve seen it once before when I followed them to the edge of the desert for reconnaissance and combat. Although it was really fun, I don’t want to experience that illusion a second time.
The place is not very friendly to the cultivation of the monks' minds.
Boss, just enjoy it.
Also, your cultivation is higher than mine now. If you want me to recover my fighting power quickly, how about... double cultivation tonight?"
"Be serious."
Old Jiang said without looking away:
"There's a war going on."
"whispering sound"
The secretary snorted and went to the truck behind her. Her spiritual energy was exhausted and she needed a good rest.
"Tonight at three o'clock, at the edge of the desert."
Boss Jiang's response came from the chip communication, which made Ruyue smile. As she walked forward, her waist twisted more seductively.
But don't overthink it.
It’s just dual cultivation.
Practice! Do you understand?
Serious practice.
"That's another unscientific magic weapon, right?"
After Ruyue left, Rogge also came back from Taishan Seal. He asked Lao Jiang a question, and the latter nodded without saying much. Black Fox didn't ask any more questions either.
He was afraid that he was asking too many questions.
It will have an impact on the scientific worldview that I have spent more than 30 years building up.
Without saying much, he made a "please" gesture and took Jiang Xia to the row of low and cramped rooms in front.
"Bang"
The black fox kicked open the room in front of him violently.
Suddenly, a mixture of rotting food, smelly feet, the stink of alcohol, and the musty smell of a sunless house rushed into Jiang Xia's nostrils.
It almost made the monk vomit.
He immediately blocked his sense of smell, and then he felt a little better. The house in front of him, which was less than five square meters and was filled with all kinds of garbage, made Jiang Xia not want to step in at all.
He stood outside the door and looked in the direction where Roger pointed.
In the corner, on a pile of "bedding" that I don't know how to describe, there was a guy with disheveled clothes lying there. He seemed to have been awakened from his sleep .
When she saw Roger coming in, she was about to scream.
But the next moment, the reddish light on the top of the laser pistol in Black Fox's hand made him shut his mouth rationally.
"Snap"
Rogge stepped forward and roughly grabbed the small external device fixed on the chip information device above the man's left ear. The jumping of the electric arc made the man scream.
But no one paid attention to him.
Rogge turned around and handed the thing to Jiang Xia. He said in a complex tone of disgust and helplessness:
"Want to see the 'truth' beneath the surface of the wasteland world?"
"Take it and follow me."
