Ember Gun

  Chapter 618 Long-lost reunion

  Grey and black clouds were rolled together, like a funnel in the sky. After a short period of peace, thunder rang out, and then heavy rain came and washed the city full of rust smell.

  The weather in Old Dunling is always so gloomy and changeable. Few people can predict the direction of the weather. It is possible that a large discharge of the Pillar of the Furnace will result in a heavy rain.

  Rain water swept across the cold armor, crashing to the ground, and thunder light swept across, drawing the same gray and black figures one after another.

  Heavy armed rioters guarded important intersections and blocked the Xiacheng District. Black umbrellas filled the streets. The cleaning agency took over the Xiacheng District, cleaned up and hunted down the remaining demons.

  The sun is no longer, the sky is gloomy, and the iron whale wanders above the lower city, beams of light cast down, reflecting the desolate and declining land, and guiding them.

Lorenzo stayed under the eaves on the corner of the street, avoiding the heavy rain. They were neither close nor far from the Xiacheng District. The building that originally divided it was completely collapsed under the violence of the rioters. Desolate world.

  Prosperity and ruin are closely connected, until this day, the barriers collapsed, they were inside the ruins, and the lower city was outside the ruins.

  There are also black umbrellas everywhere here, they are detecting the damage, helping the wounded, and there are people holding a Geiger counter back and forth, surveying the intensity of the erosion.

  Lorenzo's few people did not have any serious problems, and there was no obvious injury. In this emergency situation, they were left aside, and the few people were like a penalty station, hiding under the eaves to avoid the rain.

  Sao Liangxi and Luo Luo talked and laughed. It was probably because Luo Liangxi saved Luo's life. Luo began to regard her as a top customer. He answered all the strange questions with great patience.

  Eve and Kestrel are not here. They assisted others in controlling the Xiacheng District, explaining the situation at the time by the way, and telling the detailed process of the incident.

  Shao Liangye leaned aside, he might still be wondering what [Wangchuan] was, or maybe in a daze. He looked at the heavy rain and stared at this strange city.

   "It's so cold... It's winter again."

  Lorenzo squatted aside with a cigarette in his mouth, like an idle gangster.

  Winter is here, the birthday of God is not far away, and then the new year...Is this my first year in Old Dunling? The eighth year, or the ninth year?

  Lorenzo can't remember too, everything goes so fast, it makes people feel that time is so short.

  Think about it, too, for such a long time, it is only a few sentences on the paper, let alone those who have not left a mark.

Throwing the cigarette **** into the rain, Mars stumbled and stayed in the footsteps of another person. Lorenzo raised his head, a tired Kestrel, looking behind him, Eve was holding a black umbrella and saying something to others .

   "Control of the Xiacheng District has been restored. After the rioters entered the stadium, the remaining demons were not threatened. The only trouble now is how to clean them all in this complicated environment."

  Kestrel told Lorenzo about the current situation.

   "Report or something, our side will be responsible, you can return to the pump of perpetual motion first."

   "Are you working overtime?" Lorenzo teased.

   "Oh, probably not," Kestrel sighed, "It should be considered normal work."

  "Didn't you say that Adren was also here? We seem to have found his trace." Kestrel remembered this, and he said again.

  Lorenzo stood up abruptly, with a vigilant look on his face, and asked.

"what happened?"

   had been expected, but such two terrible monsters wandering in the old Dunling, Lorenzo also had to be vigilant and stressed.

"In the industrial zone, after the erosion broke out in the Xiacheng District, the same high-intensity erosion occurred in the industrial zone near the Mechanical Yard, but it was an abandoned area, usually only used for experimental weapons, so no one exists there, Geiger The counter coverage is not very wide either.

  Mechanical Academy first observed successive explosions, and then followed by erosion, as if some monsters were fighting inside. They waited until everything calmed down before going to investigate the situation. "

  Kestrel only knew this, he motioned Lorenzo to find Arthur Merlin and the others.

   "Anyway, you should be able to know the details after returning to the pump of perpetual motion."

   "Then don't I need me here?"

  Lorenzo pointed to the lower city behind the ruins behind him, beams of light fell, it was like a construction site, not busy.

   "Mr. Holmes is indeed omnipotent, but he can't rely on you for everything."

  Eve came from behind and caught the Kestrel.

   "It's up to us here."

  After finishing speaking, Eve pulled the Kestrel back to the blockade. They were equipped with weapons, and it seemed that the next thing would not be easy.

  Lorenzo breathed the cold water vapor, looked aside, and happened to meet Shao Liangye together.

   "Sounds a bit bad," he said.

   "It's not that bad, at least it proves that your antimemetic weapons are really useful, doesn't it?" Lorenzo smiled, "Actually, I had this idea a long time ago."

"what?"

   "I suspect you are a bunch of liars."

  Shao Liangye showed a puzzled look, and didn't understand why Lorenzo thought so.

"Antimemetic, a piece of information that is absolutely self-enclosed. This thing sounds like a black box. It is hard to falsify. Who knows if what you Jiuxia people are saying is true or false? What kind of carrier are you shouting, maybe Is it really just an ordinary entity?"

   "You sound like a person who is desperately insecure." Shao Liangye said.

  "This is called a profession. Experts always have to ask some questions, but things like antimemes are really amazing."

  Lorenzo said and took out the black cube, which he carried with him.

  Seeing the black cube, Shao Liangye's expression became serious for an instant. The black cube itself has no magic power, but the meaning it contains makes Shao Liangye treat it in awe as a divine object.

  But now it is such a sacred and awe-inspiring entity, being manipulated by Lorenzo in his hands at will. If it were not for fear of breaking, he would probably throw this thing away.

   "You... just treat it like this?" Shao Liangye felt his heart trembling.

   "Otherwise? Take a shower and change clothes, then kneel to hold it?"

  Lorenzo threw the black cube up and caught it steadily. He observed the black cube. It is also an absolute black box. You can never falsify it before the necessary moment arrives.

   "Relax, stranger, this is just a ‘tool’."

  Lorenzo smiled and put away the black cube, and then shouted to the two people who were whispering.

   "Hey, stop chatting, ready to go."

Hearing Lorenzo’s shout, Rod raised his head, his eyes revealed the joy of being rescued. He was really unable to resist Siao Liangxi. She was like a newborn child, asking endlessly, and she was considered rescued. It's hard for me to refuse anything if I lose my life.

   "Let's go."

  Lorenzo picked up the umbrella placed in the corner, opened it, and walked into the rain.

  Several people picked up their umbrellas and followed Lorenzo. A group of people walked in the misty rain and fog, and walked on the wet streets.

  They should have returned on the iron snake, but Lorenzo suddenly wanted to stroll around, staying in the dark underground for a long time, sometimes he also yearned for fresh air...Although the old Dunling air was not good.

But after all, it was still under the sky, and no one else said anything. Liang Liangxi looked around in surprise. The tall buildings only left silhouettes one after another in the rain. Iron whales wandered low in the sky, and the people on the streets also Holding an umbrella, people come and go.

  The black umbrella blocked the faces of several people, and with the hazy rain and fog, no one noticed these strangers who had come from afar, and these strangers were also observing this strange city.

With twists and turns, Lorenzo remembered the rest of his work and remembered what had just happened. It seemed that the continued installation of antimemetic weapons had to be postponed for a while.

   Then he stopped, in front of a pub.

  Lorrenzo came here around like a ghost. He was not very anxious in terms of time. Kestrel and Eve were involved in many matters. He turned his head and suddenly said to Shao Liangye and Shao Liangxi.

   "By the way, guests from afar, it seems that we haven't been entertaining you much, right?"

  Shao Liangye didn't know what Lorenzo was going to do. He didn't know whether it was cultural difference or personality. During the time he got along, he tried to understand Lorenzo, but every time he ended up with his own comical.

  Rod also had the same doubts. He just wanted to return to the pump of perpetual motion, and then get off work. He didn't understand why he, an interpreter, had to suffer such a crime.

  Sao Liangxi’s Western language is so good that he doesn’t need Rohde here anymore, but think about it, if this is the case, he will be unemployed. Such a dilemma made him very painful.

   "Entertainment?"

  Xiao Liangxi's pronunciation in Western language this time is very standard, paying attention to the roundness of a word, and then nodding vigorously.

  ……

   "Sir, you look terrible."

  Herkery wiped the glass and said to the drunk who was lying on the bar.

  The drunkard ignored him, just hummed, his hands clung to him randomly, and after a while, he said.

   "I'm fine! I can still drink!"

Hercules smiled bitterly. The location of the new store is a bit biased, so there are usually few customers, but after a long time, there will be more regular customers. This drunk is one of them, and I see him here every night. .

  In fact, he is the only one.

  After a long time, Hercule got used to it. He knew what to do. Just leave him alone. He usually wakes up before closing the store, and then leaves drunk with a sorry expression on his face.

  He has a pretty good attitude. In addition to giving money to himself, Hercule is not disgusted. Correspondingly, he sometimes understands it. After all, life is so bad and everyone has troubles.

   "Oh, this is life."

  Herkeley continued to wipe the glass, and the tavern was filled with soft female voices.

Since Gallunaro returned, he probably saw the deepest darkness and cruelty. Hercules felt that he loved life more and more. The last time he felt this way, it was when he was picked up from the sea. NS.

  Life is so beautiful, not beautiful.

Hercule didn’t know that his mentality could last for a long time, but he had figured out the pattern. When he was bored again, he would take an adventure...provided that the intensity is not too exciting, otherwise Hull Kerry was really afraid that his heart could not stand it.

   "No monsters, no monsters, no **** Holmo..."

   "Yo! Hercules!"

  The door of the tavern was kicked open, and the cold wind and rain poured in, driving away the comfort and gentleness. The drunkard lying on the bar felt cold and shivered.

   "Hey, there are still not many guests. You won't go bankrupt, will you?"

  Lorenzo put the umbrella by the door, and just brought a few people to the bar.

   "Lorenzo, you..."

The arrival of this guy shredded Hercule’s dreams and laughed at his business by the way. Hercule wanted to scold Lorenzo, but then he saw the man standing beside Lorenzo. Shao Liangxi and Shao Liangye.

  Their faces are so unfamiliar, with the breath of a foreign land.

   "Nine...Nine summer people?"

  Herkery pointed at the two of them and looked at Lorenzo with a look of sorrow.

"uh-huh."

   "Thank you so much! I have a treat today!"

  Herkeley was very excited, he directly turned over the bar, and walked back and forth around Shao Liangxi and Shao Liangye, as if looking at a handicraft.

  "Jiuxia people...a living Jiuxia people!"

  Sao Liangxi's expression was a bit awkward, and he met another person who was more enthusiastic than himself, and even a bit abnormal.

   "It's really a good friend of mine, Lorenzo."

  Just wanted to tell him to go, and in a blink of an eye, Hercule and Lorenzo became friends again.

  After he turned back to the bar, his hands and feet were so flexible, he quickly mixed up the wine, and he chatted with two foreigners.

To be precise, Shao Liangye looked indifferent and didn't give Herck any inside. Shou Liangxi responded in embarrassment. Rohde couldn't help smiling when he saw this place. This is quite a wicked person who has his own wicked person. The feeling of grinding.

Hercules is a greedy mouse, longing for the secrets of this world. He feels that he knows enough and it is time to stop, but now this mysterious Jiu Xia is in front of him, and the peace of a beautiful life is easily Forget about it.

  Lorenzo gave a smirk. He still knows Hercules very well and can play with him at will, but he is also listening to the conversation between the two, and Lorenzo is also quite curious about Jiuxia.

   Picking up the wine glass, just about to take a sip, another drunken voice sounded, somewhat familiar.

  "Boss, wine..."

   "Go, go out of business today!"

   was interrupted by a drunkard, Hercule wanted to drive him away, anyway, there was only one guest left, but at this moment Lorenzo exclaimed in surprise.

  I saw him lift up the drunkard, forcing him to look up at him, and shouted joyfully.

   "Buskalo!"

   Hearing Lorenzo's yelling, the sound seemed to come from a nightmare, and Buscalo woke up immediately.

  He blinked vigorously, and Buscalo found himself still in the tavern, whispering.

   "Is it a dream?"

  Think about it, he hasn’t seen that murderer for months, most of them are dead, but this guy is uneasy when he is dead, always looking for himself in his dreams.

  At this moment, two wine glasses were handed over, and Buscarlo instinctively caught one of them, and then touched the other with a crisp sound.

  He thought of something and raised his head.

   "Yo! Long time no see!"

  Looking at Lorenzo, Buscarlo woke up most of his drunkenness, probably because of the cold wind remaining in the room, he couldn't help but shivered a few more times.
