At Li Shuo's speed, in less than half a minute, the shopping center was blocked by other buildings, away from sight, and only the sound of sniper rifles firing non-stop, and staggered collapses could be heard.

At the moment they were attacked, Li Shuo had already requested support from the deployment center.According to the speed, they will meet on the road.

His footsteps are getting faster, the lines of the street are elongated, and they fly by before his eyes.

Suddenly a strong wind came from the left, Li Shuo stepped on the ground with his left foot and made a hole in the ground, avoiding the attack.The second he was sideways in the air, flames leaped from his fingertips and rushed towards his attacker.

The man was dressed in black, skinny, and extremely fast. The flames could barely pass by the corners of his clothes—he wasn't even equipped with an exoskeleton, and he was only active during the time when the ability didn't fade.

Without the extra weight of the exoskeleton, his speed surpassed all the agility people Li Shuo had seen.In a blink of an eye, Li Shuo recognized that he was the predator who was originally guarding the machine gun.

He ignored his companions and chased after him alone.

The next moment, he had already appeared beside Li Shuo in a flash, mixed with the strong wind, he reached out and quickly reached his throat!

Before Li Shuo adjusted his figure, he fell backwards to avoid the thorn.However, the other party withdrew his hand quickly, turned around, and grabbed Xia Yinan who was carried on his shoulder with his left hand.

His hands were bony, and the bones were abnormally long, reminiscent of eagle claws at first sight.

After all, this grasp failed to reach the real point. Li Shuo put his center of gravity on the left side, and leaned to the right with his waist to open the distance.

The black-clothed predator wiped Li Shuo's ears with his hand, and hit the thick wall behind him, which instantly cracked into rubble.Li Shuo's speed is not as good as his, not to mention that his left hand is not dominant.The other party saw the short knife cold light and just wanted to back away, suddenly the street bricks a few inches behind his feet cracked a little, and a fiery breath gushed out of it.

As long as you retreat, you will be completely engulfed by the sea of ​​fire.He didn't expect Li Shuo's ability to reach such a level at all, and he had no choice.

The high-frequency knife that cuts iron like mud does not have the slightest suspense when it hits the human body.The silver light flashed in a beautiful arc, and the half amputated hand flew up under the moonlight, splashing blood, and the man retreated and opened the distance.

All this happened within five seconds, and the two sides took a breath for half a second before shooting again.

Because of the injury, the opponent's speed dropped drastically, and the flame wave had greedily licked his body several times.Even though his arm was broken and he was seriously injured, he didn't show any intention of backing down, and there was a kind of fanatical light in his eyes.

This light also shines in the eyes of every enemy.Whether it was the rapid reduction of two employees, or the fact that the old-fashioned exoskeleton had been heated and deformed under the flames just now, causing unbearable pain to ordinary people, they did not have any intention of retreating.

The person who abandoned his companion in front of him will obviously only become crazier.His speed has almost reached the limit of the human body, and even Li Shuo's dynamic vision cannot fully capture his actions.

The palm wind whistles, and the fingers are all sharp weapons.

It's a pity that he met Li Shuo.Even with a comatose person with him, Li Shuo would not lose in a single fight.

Li Shuo knew the different fighting styles too well, and quickly grasped the opponent's rules of action.After that, his style of play became fierce and aggressive, with murderous intent leaping from his brows.

The long knife is easy to expose its flaws, so he used the short blade to deal with it, the sharpness was so sharp that the moonlight and the sound of the wind were cut off.The flames continued to burst out from under his feet, and every time they appeared at key positions, they effectively blocked the opponent's displacement and pushed him straight to the dagger.

The man in black had just lost his left hand, his body's balance was broken, and the blood loss further ruined his state.The flame waves made it impossible for him to fight close to each other for a long time, and he couldn't take advantage of his speed.

Even so, Li Shuo didn't dare to leave Xia Yinan behind because he didn't know if he had any other tricks.In fact, he didn't even have a chance to do this, the speed of the man in black was really too fast, and a slight distraction or carelessness would be a fatal mistake.

The advantage was still accumulating bit by bit, the short knife flashed a cold killing intent in the heat, and then Li Shuo threw it out in a certain confrontation, and pierced the shoulder of the man in black.

Uppercut, toe kick.During an extremely aggressive attack by the opponent, Li Shuo seized the opportunity and kicked him hard on the chin, kicking him with two broken ribs into the rising flames.

The sound of the mandible smashing came, and the body drew an unsightly curve in the air, and was instantly engulfed by flames.

Immediately, the man rolled out of the flames without saying a word, his body was mixed with blood and mud, his black clothes were almost burnt, revealing his horrific burnt skin.If it weren't for the strengthening of his physique by the exoskeleton, he would have gone into shock due to the loss of blood and body fluids.

The situation became clear, and the last blow was left. The man in black was panting heavily, but he didn't feel the pain at all. The frenzied light appeared in his eyes again.

He went up against the flame wave, threw himself into it, and reached out to grab Xia Yinan.His fingers are exceptionally strong, and he can easily crush fist-sized rocks with his bare hands. Even the exoskeleton may not be able to withstand this force.

This kind of suicidal behavior was beyond Li Shuo's expectation, but it was not unstoppable.He was taking half a step back slightly, preparing for the explosion in the next second, when the person on his right shoulder suddenly struggled——

It might not be accurate to say that it was a struggle, because Xia Yinan broke Li Shuo's arm with absolute strength, and fell to the ground, supporting the ground with both hands.

He was breathing quickly, and there was a dull and turbid sound in his chest, like a roaring beast, and suddenly he raised his head and stared at the front, pulling out a ferocious laugh.

The palm wind struck in front of his eyes, and what came down faster than Li Shuo's flames was the black blade stabbing out from the ground.

There were dozens of long black lines one to two fingers wide, smashing the street floor like strong steel bars, piercing through the man in black in an instant, nailing him in the air like a statue.

The one that pierced his throat made him unable to utter a sound, and he died.Big blood bubbles gushed out and burst open, dripping to the ground.

The surface of the line is as rough as frosted, and there are remaining blood beads at the tip, which are frozen in the moonlight, each stabbing fiercely in different directions, with a rough and violent beauty, like the corpse of some unknown monster, like A treacherous sacrifice.

Xia Yinan's eyes were full of changing light, shadow and color. His pupils were sometimes close to people and sometimes like beasts. When he stared into it, he saw an invisible abyss, an existence that even feared light.

In the next second, he couldn't support his hands, and he directly faced down and lay stiffly on the ground.

Li Shuo: "..." He felt pain even looking at it, his face twitched empathetically, and hurried over to hug Xia Yinan.

As soon as he picked up Xia Yinan, he heard a low growl in his ear.

This was the voice of an infected person. He turned his head subconsciously, and there was already a tyrannical fire flowing between his fingers.

The movement was stopped by him abruptly—the one who was grinning at him was the one who was crucified into a statue.Suffering from those lines, it couldn't move no matter how much it twisted and struggled, it could only make the wound bigger.

The infection of the corpse is all because of being eaten by other infected people, and this is impossible for the person who died just now.Li Shuo hesitated for a moment, bypassed the infected person, and came to one of the black lines.

Apocalypse virus For the living, only when the aorta is injured can it be infected.The tip of the line was extremely sharp, Li Shuo stretched out his hand and scratched it lightly with his fingertip, a small drop of blood immediately rolled down.

At the small wound, the skin was slightly dark green, which completely disappeared within half a minute.This already represents the infectiousness of these black lines.

On the environment map displayed by the exoskeleton, a group of red dots suddenly appeared, approaching rapidly.After identification, their numbers appeared below the viewing angle.

Support is coming.

Li Shuo quickly scanned the bloody face that was still screaming, and then there was a snap of his fingers, and the flames completely engulfed everything.

……

Xia Yinan stood in front of Kelsen, with a perfect apology written on his delicate and gentle face: "I'm very sorry, this time it's entirely my responsibility."

The painter happened to finish the last stroke, completing a watercolor painting of spring grass and warm sun, and then looked at the two in front of him through the same old glasses.

Li Shuo was still wrapped in bandages, and he rarely looked serious: "You can learn about the specific incident through official documents later. Next, we will discuss rescue operations and try not to let more people die."

Kelsen pushed up his glasses and said, "There was a similar case a few years ago, when looters hijacked people in the station for the first time, but I don't remember any rescue."

"You're talking about three years ago," Li Shuo explained patiently. "At that time, we were suddenly attacked by 'death' and lost a lot of troops. Even the head of the station died unfortunately, which caused the rescue plan to run aground."

"The subsequent rescues had a very low success rate. There were 11 people in total, and only two have returned so far." Kelsen took it easy. Thoroughness, coupled with the uncertain location and small group activities, are really beyond our capabilities. So the rescue is actually not reliable."

These useless words, which were like a textbook, would have rolled countless eyes in Xia Yinan's mind in normal times.But this time it was his fault after all, it was rare for him to show some respect, and he didn't express anything in his heart.

On the surface, he was still apologetic.Li Shuo's "official accent" always makes people feel very sincere. Kelsen quickly took out a new drawing paper and waved his hand to signal that he didn't want to talk about it.

So the two were about to go back, and Kelsen said afterward: "Professor Xia."

Xia Yinan turned around.

Kelsen said: "I respect the fruits of your labor very much. Everyone can see the scientific research in these years. But let me make it clear that you have insisted on going out to participate in missions due to personal reasons. Isn't it too hasty? In order to protect you every time, the station will waste a lot of resources."

It is impossible for him to give up going out, after all, it is necessary to relieve the symptoms of infection.Xia Yinan lowered his eyes and said, "I'll think about it."

The painter behind him didn't say anything more.

No one was sacrificed in this hunt, but Ye Huai was nowhere to be found.The four Marauders disappeared with him, as well as Andre.

At that time, Chuan Mingliang was too mentally overloaded and explored the inside and outside of the building.So after Ye Huai detonated the bomb on the roof, he probably hid a little further away.

When Li Shuo moved Xia Yinan, who was in a coma, to the eighth floor, Chuan Mingliang had lost track of him too much, and with the dazzling light of the flames, it was almost impossible for the other party to catch their actions.

But what the predators showed afterwards was that they knew the specific direction and attacked, preparing to force out their exact location and expose it to the sight of the machine gun.

The only place where they can be directly observed is the roof.As long as the other party has perception-like abilities, Ye Huai's thermal induction can be erased.At that time, Chuan Mingliang had already overloaded his mental power several times, and the period of weakness was approaching, so it was not surprising that his existence was not detected.

Also on the roof is Andre, the missing person this time and Kelsen's son.Li Shuo and Kelsen have known each other for many years, and this time he and Xia Yinan made a special trip to the West Station to condolences to the old painter.

After bidding farewell to Kelsen, they boarded the Evernight, which arrived on time at six o'clock in the evening.There were several teams of soldiers on the move, talking and laughing loudly a few carriages away from them.

Li Shuo and Xia Yinan were sitting face to face. When they sat down, they grinned because of the burn on their back.

This injury was caused when he rolled out of the outer wall with Xia Yinan in his arms. At that time, the heat from the supernatural power was still hot, and it passed along the exoskeleton very quickly.

Xia Yinan frowned slightly, looked over: "Be careful."

Li Shuo just smiled and said nothing.

The time on the subway was very long, Xia Yinan was so bored, he leaned on the seat and stared at the ceiling, thinking wildly.The rumble of the train came, and under the half-broken light, his profile was more clearly defined and his neck was slender.

After a while, Li Shuo finally said, "You don't have to pretend in front of me."

Xia Yinan woke up within a second, without changing his expression, he cast a puzzled look.

Li Shuo said: "I have known the professor for many years, and the way we get along has never been like this."

Xia Yinan shrugged: "What are you talking about?" A bad feeling crept into his heart, and he began to consider various explanations.

"Usually I'm cheap, so I like to put my hands on other people's shoulders. But every time you walk with me and put your shoulders on your shoulders, your body will involuntarily lean outward, or pretend to throw your hands off unintentionally."

"Although it's very subtle, you probably have tried your best to restrain yourself, but this is an expression of resistance to strangers." Li Shuo raised his legs, expressionless.

"And as long as you are noticed once, this kind of behavior will inevitably become a little obvious later. There are many other details, which are different from before. When I first met the professor, he really reacted in this way. Later, we have a good relationship , he got used to it and didn't bother to care about it. After more than 30 years, don't tell me to start all over again."

Without waiting for Xia Yinan's reaction, he continued directly: "Professors are polite in front of others, but they are not so good after others, and it is completely different in front of acquaintances. Similarly, in front of me, you are completely behaving towards strangers. So You are not the person I know at all... How did you get into this body? What is the purpose?"

"..." Xia Yinan was silent for a while, showing a helpless and confused smile, "Li Shuo, you've been too tired recently." He leaned forward slightly, "And I'm curious, the 'old acquaintance' you said has changed. It’s like’, why did it make you think that it was someone else who came to this body in the first time?”

He continued to smile purely, as if genuinely curious: "This kind of theory is too rare, without any precedent, and it cannot be the first thought of a normal person. This makes me doubt you a bit."

"You really should be suspicious." Li Shuo smiled, and suddenly reached out to rub his soft hair, causing Xia Yinan's expression to freeze for a moment.He continued: "Then please tell me how we got here from Whitewall Hospital."
