"Huh-huh-damn, the temperature is getting lower and lower..."
Controlling the high temperature around her and continuing to maintain it, Tallulah looked at Phoenix who stood not far away, took off his hood, and his hair had all turned into silver-white, and for the first time felt a sense of retreat in her heart.
Just now, after Phoenix triggered a bitter cold hell enough to sweep the entire Chernoborg, the surrounding area began to drop in temperature significantly. The closer to Phoenix, the lower the temperature. On the edge of this street alone, the temperature is in the Tens of degrees below zero can completely freeze a person to death in an instant.
The result of the large-scale cooling is that if Tallulah wants to continue to maintain her own high temperature, she must waste more energy. She also tried to directly melt the surrounding ice, but during the melting process, the high temperature she activated would be be consumed rapidly, resulting in the inability to evaporate the water formed after the ice melts,
Immediately afterwards, because the ice crystals around itself had an unreasonably low temperature, the melted water would turn back into ice crystals exuding low-temperature cold air again, forming an endless loop that was quite disgusting to Tallulah.
In fact, Tallulah is worth it if she fights recklessly, but unfortunately, because the Bitter Cold Hell was formed too quickly and unexpectedly, her high temperature protection at the beginning was directly washed away, which also made the cold air come into direct contact with her. A large area of frostbite had formed on her body. If her Originium skill hadn't activated to maintain her body temperature, she might have been directly frozen.
However, the frostbite on her body was not a serious problem to Tallulah. The most surprising thing was that when the protection was overwhelmed, Tallulah just took a breath, causing a lot of cold air to invade her lungs. The temperature was resisted, but for such a fragile place as the internal organs, even half a second was too late.
Therefore, the reason Tallulah panted heavily was because of the frostbite in her lungs, so if she didn't do this, she probably wouldn't be able to breathe.
After that, Tallulah can only passively defend against Phoenix, and the initial loss will lead to subsequent defeats. Tallulah is like this now.
If the positions were reversed, Tallulah could actually cause Phoenix's lungs to be scalded by the high-temperature gas, but now, it is Tallulah, the leader who has always been aloof, because of a moment of carelessness, he has become a bereaved dog and can only stand sideways. Hit and retreat.
"Damn it... the lungs... are getting more and more uncomfortable... the origin stone skills are about to fail..."
Her lungs were damaged, her energy was exhausted, and the high temperature caused by Originium skills was gradually decreasing. Tallulah's life could be said to be hanging by a thread.
After resisting Phoenix's cold attack again, Tallulah took a deep breath, then thrust her sword into the ground, and said in a low voice:
"Since it doesn't work from above, then find a way from the ground."
The streets are already covered with ice crystals made by Phoenix. No matter how you use the origin stone skills, it will definitely be futile in the end. However, Tallulah suddenly noticed a round manhole cover on the ground, and remembered the time when she was afraid of it when she was a child. He escaped from the sewer again, so he started a new plan.
"Let's fight, I don't want to die here because of a mistake before completing my revenge... Yan Bianhua."
After the long sword pierced the ground, the high temperature began to spread rapidly from the ground, and a large amount of flames were generated in the cracks in the ground. Then, the ground gradually became hot, and the ice crystals on it also began to melt. It spewed out from the ground like a volcanic eruption.
The ice crystals melted, the water evaporated, and a large amount of white fog shrouded the street.
Seeing the white mist gradually blocking his sight, Phoenix frowned slightly, waved his hand casually, the cold air spread, and the white mist dissipated instantly. The ice layer melted by the pillar of flame just now recovered again, but Tallulah had disappeared gone.
"Tsk, run away, forget it, it wasn't a deathmatch originally, but then again... my Originium skill still has such a weird side effect?"
When he said this, Phoenix was looking at the shop glass on the side of the street. On it, the person reflected there was no different from Phoenix, but his hair became bright silver and his skin became fairer.
However, what made Phoenix the most speechless was not the change in hair color, but the pair of snowflake and ice headdresses made of ice on both sides of his head. What the hell is that? !Is Originium Arts divided into men and women?So girlish? !
Chapter 280 Ethan
"Tsk, I'm not the kind of Mary Suwen here, and I'm not the kind of white lotus who can change the color of her hair every day according to her mood. Why do you give me so many fancy things..."
Somewhat helplessly, he pinched a strand of hair, wrapped it around his fingers a few times, and watched the strand of silver hair run smoothly across his fingers. Phoenix was a little speechless, and then looked at the pair of ice crystal headdresses on his head. He tried to pull it, but found that the two headdresses seemed to grow on his head, no matter how he fiddled with them, they would not move at all.
"Oh...forget it."
Now that such a pair of headdresses grew on his head, Phoenix did not put back the hood, but put away the Spiritual Saber, and just maintained such a posture like an ice queen, and began to walk along the street, just took two steps , his earphones suddenly rang:
"Tie Pilot, it has been detected that the energy fluctuation on your side has stopped, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine, how are you doing?"
"A short fight with a female mercenary codenamed W has been successfully subdued, and Rhodes Island's response force is coming soon, and now Amiya is assigning the team, led by Linguang, Black Horn, and Yato. The staff will be responsible for escorting the doctor back, and the remaining people will go deep into Chernobog again to rescue a team led by a Sarkaz, by the way, that Sarkaz is called scout."
"That's it, BT, help them find the scout team. I also have something to deal with here."
"Okay Pilot, after the task is completed, I will send you the coordinates, I wish you good luck."
"You too."
After the communication was over, Phoenix took out a map of Chernobog and looked at it. After confirming the destination, he started to move there, but before he had walked for a long time, the sound of ping-pong from the nearby shop attracted his attention. Notice.
'There are still people here? '
After looking curiously at the place where the sound was made just now, Phoenix disappeared and walked over quietly. As soon as he reached the door of the shop, he saw a somewhat unbelievable scene.
In the store, among the empty shelves, there were two cans suspended in the air, and there was obviously no one around.
For a moment, the word "ghost" came out of Phoenix's mind, but what happened next made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Because in the empty shop, a slightly shrill male voice suddenly came out:
"Why are there only two cans in the whole store? Could it be that this place has been looted? Really, thanks to the fact that there is so much movement here, no one should come."
As soon as the words fell, a soldier of the integration movement wrapped in thick clothes emerged from the middle of the shelf bit by bit from head to toe, and he could vaguely see the big blue lizard tail under his robe, and he happened to be holding that Two cans.
Seeing this, Phoenix understood that it wasn't a ghost at all, it was just an invisible integrated movement looking for food, but...
"Can be invisible, loves to eat, and has a big lizard-like tail... Could it be Ethan?"
Ethan, a four-star special operator in the game, is set as a chameleon, who can make himself invisible on the battlefield at any time. He was found in a Chernoborg split area after the natural disaster.
When Amiya's team was investigating whether there was any remnant of the integration movement, they found a floating dinner plate and found Ethan.
Unlike other integration movement infected people, Ethan didn't like to kill innocent people indiscriminately. The reason why he joined the integration movement was because he wanted to have enough food.
After knowing everything, Rhodes Island, who always cherishes talents, successfully recruited Ethan, a perfect intelligence officer, into Rhodes Island with absolutely full work meals and desserts served every Wednesday.
However, although he had some guesses about the identity of this invisible integration movement soldier, he couldn't jump to a conclusion, so Phoenix came directly behind the integration movement soldier quietly, and blew out an ordinary cold air.
As the cold air passed by, the soldier shivered, and then he muttered to himself in a strange way:
"Strange, why is it getting cold again? I dared to come in with three layers of clothes on. Forget it, get out of here quickly. I don't know which one it is..."
Before he finished speaking, the soldier just turned his head and saw Phoenix standing behind him with an indifferent expression. It made Phoenix feel short of breath:
"……so beautiful……"
For a split second, Ethan felt like he was in love.
Originally, he was just an ordinary tramp who joined the integration movement for a few black breads. After Chernobog was invaded by the integration movement, he has been searching for edible things in troubled waters, but most of the last It must be handed in, but at any rate, you can hide a little and keep it for eating.
Just ten minutes ago, after Ethan noticed the fight between Phoenix and Tallulah, he quietly took several layers of clothes from the dead soldiers on the ground, and after confirming that they were warm enough, he came to the edge of the battle field Find supplies.
But in the end, he only found a few cans. In desperation, when he was about to return to the army to eat those hard black bread, he saw an extremely beautiful woman:
The bright silver hair and eyelashes seem to be shining like frost flowers, and the one blue and one black eyes are full of mystery. The ice flower headdress on the head makes this woman look gentle and strong, A blend without any sense of incongruity.
Although the clothes, hairstyle, and headgear don't quite match, there is no doubt that this is definitely a goddess-level beauty!
However, Ethan, who has always been uninterested in things other than full food, felt a little bit taken away at first, and then he quickly came back to his senses, criticizing himself in his heart:
'Does the goddess have canned incense?No!Does Goddess have delicious bread?No!Goddess has a big ham, is it chewy?Not to mention!So a little promising, eating is the greatest happiness in life. '
After some self-criticism, Ethan's mentality returned to the original state, but then he realized a somewhat serious question... who is the person behind him now...? !
Reminiscent of the previous battle, Ethan couldn't help but glanced at Phoenix, whose expression was gradually gloomy, with eyes full of fear, and the cold air that began to overflow around him, and had a bold idea in his mind:
"The one who turned Chernobog into a world of ice and snow is the one in front of you..."
"Boss! I'm sorry! I'm just a soldier looking for food, please let me go!"
Ethan will not feel ashamed if he admits his defeat decisively. One side is just a simple invisibility, while the other side is a monster that can freeze Chernobog. The difference in strength between the two sides is so big. To rush up to death is brave and fearless to the protagonist, but brain-dead to the supporting role.
And Ethan, never felt that he was the protagonist, so many people died on the battlefield, have you ever seen the earth stop for a second for them?Therefore, in a sense, Ethan and Dark Suo are somewhat similar, they never feel how important they are, as long as they are alive.
"Forehead……"
Seeing Ethan's resolute confession, Phoenix was a little embarrassed, whether he didn't want to do it or not, and finally he could only sigh helplessly and explained:
"I am male."
"I go……"
The goddess is a man, this kind of thing is really surprising, but that's it. After expressing a little surprise, Ethan regained the snail-like cowardice just now.
What?You ask him why he doesn't run in stealth?Hehehe, invisibility is not virtualization, if you can’t hit the directivity, then you can just play AOE, too few players keep their promises, Bronze Thief.
Seeing that Ethan was still afraid of death, Phoenix kicked Ethan lightly and said:
"Get up, take off the mask, show me your face."
"Ah... well, boss, I'm not good-looking, so I don't need to fall into your eyes..."
"Pick it? Don't pick it?"
"...I'll pick..."
Under pressure, Ethan could only get up from the ground, and took off the mask on his face, revealing a dark-skinned face. After seeing his face, Phoenix was sure that it was definitely Ethan. , and then Phoenix asked symbolically:
"What's your name?"
"Um... I've forgotten my real name, but now I call myself Ethan."
"Well, your ability is very good, follow me first, and I will introduce you to Rhodes Island after completing the task."
"Rhode Island? I heard that a pharmaceutical company is here... Can there be enough food there?"
"An institution with hundreds of employees, do you think there will be a shortage of food?"
"Oh——! Alright, boss! I'll hang out with you from now on!"
After saying this, Ethan took off the armband on his arm, and now he can be considered to have officially betrayed the integration movement.
It’s not very good to call it a rebellion. Another euphemism should be used to describe Ethan, that is, a good bird chooses a tree to live in. Ethan’s original intention is just to be full, and he is not picky about the quality of food. But the actual situation of the integration movement is surprising. All the bottom-level personnel eat black bread that is as hard as a rock. They can only be mixed with water and swallowed little by little, and nothing else.
It’s okay to only have black bread, and even black bread can’t keep you full. There is only one meal for a meal, and only two meals a day.
Although the resources of Chernobog were seized this time, after all, there are too many people in the integration movement. Basically, the good things can sustain everyone for about three days.
As for why you don't grow your own food... Heh, do you think a group of people who were squeezed out from the beginning and worked in the mine all day long, how many of them know how to use factory machines?What's more, after capturing Chernobog, Tallulah will launch the Longmen Incident soon. After a series of struggles, the integration movement will become a mess, but what will be the final result?
Except that Longmen suffered a little damage, Chen was ordered to resign, and the conflict between the infected and ordinary people further intensified, is there anything else? What has the integration movement gained?There is only a trace of pleasure in revenge, and it is said that it is for the rights of the infected, but apart from intensifying the conflict, what have they done?
Thinking of this, Phoenix was quite upset. He took Ethan to the street, looked at the control tower in the distance, and thought:
"Whether or not there will be black hands behind the scenes to help you clean up, Tallulah, I will beat you up and let you know what adults need to grow their minds. '
Afterwards, walking on the street, under Ethan's strange gaze, Phoenix began to slowly speak out some insights into the life of a certain berserker:
"I used to think it meant that we were free to do what we wanted, to pursue our ideals no matter the cost.
Now I understand that not all behaviors are allowed, but that in itself is a warning.
Ideals are too easy to compromise with reality, and reality makes people crazy.
There is no right above our own judgment, and no Supreme Being watches over and can punish us for our sins.
In the end, only we can avoid over-attachment, and only we can decide whether the path forward is too costly.
