to blame

Just as the tower was crumbling, there was a sudden violent vibration from the ground.

Qingqiu's body jolted suddenly, and almost subconsciously, he flew up with Ming Xia.Below their feet, the crowd staggered and yelled in panic.

"earthquake!"

Did an earthquake really happen? !

In front of them, the tower body, which was originally wobbly towards the inner energy wall, was thrown out after such a shock, and directly smashed into an abandoned field behind the tower.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the thick smoke and flames from the previous explosion also rose for half a day.The smoke and dust were intertwined, and Ming Xia felt like he couldn't keep his eyes open in mid-air, let alone the people near the tower.

Ming Xia hurriedly said to Qingqiu: "Put me down and go to the tower to see if there are any of our people. If there are, bring them out."

Qingqiu quickly put him next to Wutong, and flew towards the tower by himself.

Wu Tong was also a little flustered, and asked Ming Xia, "What should I do now?"

Ming Xia was also flustered. He was about to speak when his feet trembled again, and the half-dilapidated pagoda amidst the smoke and dust in the distance also started to shake.

"Even if it's an earthquake, it doesn't matter." Ming Xia comforted him by gritting his molars, "The terrain here is open, so I'm not afraid."

It's been a long time since Wutong turned into a form, but he has never experienced such a panic, and the power of the monster race comes from nature, so they are even more in awe of the power of nature.Although Ming Xia is not as old as him, modern people have been bombarded with all kinds of information. Even if they have not experienced natural disasters, they still have a certain amount of common sense, so they are not so flustered.

"Gather our people together." Ming Xia began to think about things, and his mood calmed down. "Count the number of people, and then divide them into groups. The other party's people can be tied up as much as they can. First, suppress this chaos."

Wu Tong nodded with a pale face, "You are right. Our original plan was to restrain them first."

I originally thought that the people behind the energy wall were all monsters, but I didn't expect there to be so many ordinary humans.Therefore, their battle plan must be adjusted accordingly. Since they can't fight or kill, they should be tied up first.It also prevents them from crying like wolves and howling ghosts, disturbing everyone's panic.

Fortunately, their own people were not too scattered. After counting the personnel, the injured were sent to the outside of the first energy wall and rested in the open space near the lake.Then Wutong and the little fat man each took a small team to tie people up.Honestly, he was caught without a fight, and he took off his shirt and tied his hands and feet.Dishonest, knocked unconscious, took off his pants and tied them up.Not long after, half-naked old men were already lying on the open space by the lake.

Ming Xia inspected several captives, and was very satisfied to see that they were all tied up very firmly.At the same time, Wutong's people have begun to methodically register the identity information of the prisoners one by one.

Ming Xia gave Wutong a thumbs up.

Indus smiled indifferently.Recently, he has done a lot of things like this: tying up people, knocking out those who refuse to accept, then tying them up again, and then gathering together for registration.

It's almost become a skilled worker.

At this time, Qingqiu also carried the first group of his own people back from under the tower, one was Bi Lao, and the other was Xie Rong.Qingqiu hurriedly let go of the man, then turned around and flew back to pick him up again.

Time is urgent, and Ming Xia has no time to ask Qingqiu.I can only find out the first aid kit first, and clean the wound for Mr. Bi.He is an old man in the team, and he is the key protection target. Except for some scratches on one side of his cheek and a little blood, which looks a little scary, he has no fatal injuries.Ming Xia disinfected him without bandaging him.

In comparison, Xie Rong's injury was more serious.When the tower collapsed, he was hit by a burning pillar, he couldn't move half of his shoulder, and there was a piece of scalp on the back of his head that was almost bald.Ming Xia put some scalding medicine on the back of his head. As for the place where he was hit, there is no way to do further examination at present, so he can only spray some blood stasis spray on him first to relieve the pain temporarily.

After going through such a experience, Xie Rong was completely wilted, sitting beside Bi Lao with his arms hunched, looking dejected like a defeated little rooster.

The people near the tower picked them up one after another.Because the direction in which the tower fell was exactly opposite to the direction in which they ran out, everyone was fortunately only slightly injured.

Nanjiang was the last one to withdraw, and Ming Xia had already been waiting impatiently. Seeing this man and fox covered in dust and looking miserable, he couldn't help feeling very distressed.

Ming Xia bent down and hugged Qingqiu first, then Nanjiang.

Nan Jiang heard him exhale lightly, and there was a kind of relief in that voice, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.It is also like a tired traveler who has finally returned home after traveling thousands of miles.

Nan Jiang leaned over slightly, and rubbed his cheek against the top of Ming Xia's hair, his heart felt sore and soft.

Ming Xia himself didn't know what was going on, he didn't feel tired at first, and he didn't think about whether it was hard work or not.But when he hugged Nan Jiang, suddenly there was a deep tiredness rising from his bones, which made him feel like he didn't want to lift his fingers anymore.

Nan Jiang raised his hand and rubbed the back of his head lightly, "Fortunately, it's all right."

Ming Xia took a deep breath, stood up straight, the fragility and exhaustion in his eyes faded away like tides, and he became that tall and straight young man once again.

Nan Jiang looked at him with some emotion, couldn't help but hug him again, and reached out to pat him on the back as if trying to cover up, "You are so good that I am proud of you."

Ming Xia laughed dumbly, "Is it because I rode a fox to rescue you when you were locked in the tower?"

Nan Jiang muffled a laugh.He never thought that a rough man like himself could actually play the role of a princess in a fairy tale. He really dared not dream like this.

They hugged each other for a long time, but fortunately, no one paid much attention to them due to the chaos around them.Only Qingqiu lay beside their legs and stuck out his tongue, rolling his eyes and staring at Nanjiang dissatisfied.

Everyone is here, so naturally we have to get together and have a good meeting.Those secret agents brought by Commander Du to the West District also participated, but they didn't know much about the situation, so they were locked up in a daze.

One of them was rather embarrassed, "I had suspicions along the way, but I didn't seriously investigate. The main reason is that Commander Du is of high rank, and we are also... used to obeying orders."

They are different from the action team. The action team enjoys a high degree of freedom in the process of carrying out tasks, but the secret service personnel are not. In many cases, they are only responsible for completing tasks and do not care about decision-making things.

Nan Jiang explained for them, "Commander Du probably discussed with Lao Zhuhuai and others before entering the West District, and it is even possible that he deliberately brought Mr. Hu and Mr. Wen in. He dispatched special services, so we must It's easy to do tricks. They didn't know they had been tricked until they followed Commander Du into the tower."

"There is one more strange thing." Nan Jiang said: "Not long ago, Commander Du and the leader of the Yaozu were still in the tower. But when you did it, they didn't know where they went."

Bi Lao thought, "Something went wrong, of course I have to go back to guard the most important thing. Is this the inner layer?"

Nan Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked in the direction of the energy wall in the distance and said: "This wall is not easy to tear down. These people from the Yaozu also know this, so they let us in, and the humans on the second floor The guards consume each other."

Ming Xia couldn't help asking, "What on earth are the Yaozu wanting Mr. Hu to do?"

Nan Jiang thought for a while and said, "Commander Du said that he wants to call our technicians to decipher a precious manuscript from the ancient times."

Ming Xia froze for a moment, "Aren't you looking for some coordinates?"

Sitting next to him, Wutong nodded quickly, "That's what Lao Zhuhuai said, you need to find a very important place and determine its coordinates. It's just that a lot of information has been lost, and it's very troublesome to find it."

"Maybe it's the same thing." Nan Jiang thought for a while and said, "Commander Du said at the time that once this matter is done, it will fundamentally solve the problem of the Xishan formation."

The big guys looked at each other.

Isn't the fundamental problem of the Xishan Great Formation that the Great Formation has suffered serious wear and tear over thousands of years and is in danger of collapsing?Could it be possible to recreate a new seal?

Old Bi shook his head and said, "You've been talking about Lao Du for a long time... But I haven't known him for a day or two. Why do I feel that he is not that kind of person?"

If someone else said this, everyone who had been abducted by Commander Du would jump up and curse the street.But the person who spoke was the highly respected Mr. Bi, and everyone complained secretly in their hearts, but no one jumped up to refute him.Only Qingqiu asked stupidly, "But didn't he trick Nanjiang and the others into locking them up?"

Elder Bi still didn't want to believe that Commander Du was really a despicable and shameless betrayer, "Maybe there is some reason, but it's just not clear at the moment."

Nan Jiang couldn't help but sighed.He also had doubts about this matter, but he was lured by Du's command Fangniao, and Li Youran and the others were simply cheating.And it's not that he and Commander Du don't have the opportunity to get along alone, nor do they have the opportunity to pass news quietly.He really has a hard time, just giving him a suggestive look is enough to convey a lot of information.

But Commander Du never did this.

In the silence, Tao Sheng said lightly, "I'm not familiar with Commander Du, and I haven't even met each other a few times. I think my opinion is relatively objective."

Everyone looked at him together.

"I think, no matter what difficulties Commander Du has or what other intentions he has, he betrayed you to the Yaozu side without any coordination between the two of you. This is betrayal." Tao Sheng said: "The evidence It is true, there is no doubt. As for what difficulties he has..."

Tao Sheng asked Mr. Bi, "You think he has difficulties, but compared with his difficulties, isn't everyone's safety more important? This is not a family event of the Du family, this is a public mission related to national security! No matter what No matter what difficulties he has, he should not put his private wishes above his public office. He is dereliction of duty!"

Old Bi was dumbfounded.

"Let's not consider this issue for now." Nanjiang stopped their quarrel, "Whether he is guilty or not, it should not be judged by us."

Ming Xia also agreed, "Our task is not to arrest Commander Du, don't digress."

Wu Tong rubbed his head, "Yes, yes, we are here to save people. They should be inside the energy wall. But how do we get in?"
