Scarlet Dawn [Apocalypse]

Leaving Charlotte's old house on the way, Bai Yi realized that the phrase "trash" in Nickles' mouth was really not a joke. The artificial body he is using now is already quite weak, not to mention running, even walking at a slightly faster pace. It will start to pant quickly, and a series of body overdraft reactions will appear.

The rain in winter in Australia is not too cold, and the air is fresh and humid, but this is in the eyes of ordinary people.

Nicklus walked in the safest position between the two of them. The layers of warm clothes on his body were wet with water vapor. He tried his best to suppress it, but his chest was like an old bellows, and every gasp carried a painful echo. His footsteps became increasingly heavy and unsteady.

"Otherwise, I'll carry you?" Finally, Bai Yi, who was walking at the end, quickly walked two steps to Nicholas's side, and couldn't help asking.

Nicklus didn't have the energy to speak, his pale lips were restrained, and he shook his head slightly.

Bai Yi saw that he seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and wanted to persuade him again, "But..."

"Cong Xi has been very busy these days. I was already preparing for my new body, and now I have to prepare for the transplantation of the consciousness body for your original body. Even if I rush back, I can't find time to see you."

After talking for a long time, Nicholas had no choice but to stop and took a few deep breaths. His cheeks and nose were red from the cold, which made his complexion look better.

"Besides... those things that even I can't tell, let alone tell you..."

No matter how the last sentence sounds, Bai Yi finds it funny. This guy has lived for hundreds of years, and he should be in his thirties before the end of the world. Otherwise, it would be impossible to become friends with his father. Why are you still as awkward and willful as a teenager?

Nicklus didn't know that he was being complained about by Bai Yi, and felt that the breath he held in his chest was finally over. He wiped the water on his forehead with his sleeve, sniffed his nose and continued walking forward.

"How far is it?" Silvison asked without looking back.

Nicklus said sullenly: "Two blocks away, there is a convenience store at the crossroads. I used to buy the frozen yogurt cheesecake inside... Well, well, there is a freight elevator inside, and it will be here soon."

Silvison fought back, and the lightsaber cut through the air leaving two bright trails, cutting the several zombies who rushed over to their waists in half.

Generally speaking, the weakness of zombie creatures is the brain and cervical spine nerves, but he deliberately cut them in half along the way, and then left half of the zombies with their internal organs exposed, dragging their intestines and crawling towards them.

At this time, Nicholas' face would become particularly ugly.

Seeing that the zombie's rotting fingers were almost reaching Nicklus' ankle, Bai Yi kicked that half of his body aside, and asked casually, "You set the entrance of the base at the convenience store?"

"This is just the closest one." Nicholas glanced at the zombie who was still struggling to thump, his Adam's apple rolled with pain, "I said I like the frozen yogurt cheesecake there..."

"You're so willful." Bai Yi commented.

Nicholas said: "I was already living to the end of my life. If I am not self-willed, I might as well die sooner."

"It's really good for us if you have such an idea," Silvison said with a smile, "When do you plan to die? Do you want to help?"

"Thank you Major General, I will tell you if necessary. To be honest, anyone can take the position of Pope. If I die, there will be many people to replace me. Even if they are willing, they can make hundreds of Nicholas gates." Luo's artificial body, change one every day~" Nichols said blankly: "The most important thing about an 'innovator' is not a superior person, but a scientist like Cong Xi, and technical talents are irreplaceable."

"That's what stupid leagues can't match," he added, pointing out.

Bai Yi shrugged indifferently, "I don't have any feelings for the alliance, you can scold at will."

Silverson: "Me too, you can take a break when you're tired of scolding, we'll wait for you."

Nichols: "..."

The other party was a blood clan with subconscious anti-alliance thoughts, a human who was reborn not long ago and hadn't experienced the era of the alliance. Even if he called the alliance a sieve, it would have no effect on these two people. The poisonous tongue failed, and Nicholas decided to shut up and save his energy. .

Two hours later, they finally saw the intersection that Nichols had mentioned.

Bai Yi glanced at it from a distance, stopped on his feet, and said in surprise: "Here..."

"Very kind, isn't it?" Nicholas smiled and turned to look at him, "They are all living human beings~"

It is now one or two o'clock in the afternoon, the sky is still gray, and the street in front of me is lit up with colorful lights, all of which are beautiful scenes created by electricity and glass lampshades, without the hologram of the honeycomb underground projections, and more importantly every store is operating as normal.

Affected by the weather, there are few passers-by on the street, but behind every steam-covered window, you can see the busy figure of the shopkeeper and the customers who are choosing products.

"This is the new world we created. Although the street is short and there are less than 400 residents, everything works the same as it did [-] years ago. Destruction and rebirth are what we really want to accomplish."

Bai Yi couldn't help but took two steps forward. A little boy dragging a balloon ran past him and almost collided with him, followed by a young mother holding a baby.

"I'm very sorry," the woman smiled apologetically, but her eyes were very wary. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Nickles standing a little behind, and her beautiful brown eyes lit up, "Hi~ Neil, come up when you're free. .”

"Good afternoon, ma'am." Nicholas bowed politely, pointed to Bai Yi and said, "I'm here to pick up the ninth-level mutant, he is Congxi's son, Bye."

"So it's Bishop Congxi's son!" When she looked at Bai Yi again, the woman's eyes changed obviously, "Hello!"

The corner of Bai Yi's mouth twitched, "Hello..."

Nichols hummed, then pointed to Silverson, "This is the enemy."

woman:"……"

Silverson: "..."

Bai Yi: "..."

"But it's been taken down by Bye. When I see Cong Xi, I have to call him daddy." Nichols added.

The woman suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment, Bai Yi was so haggard that he just wanted to vomit blood, and turned to look at Silvison, who had a serious and pensive face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nicholas cleared his throat and reminded in a gentle voice, "Madam, your child has run away."

"Oh, my God!" The woman exclaimed, "See you some other day, I wish you a happy~" After speaking, with a whoosh, she chased after her at a speed that absolutely surpassed human beings.

Bai Yi was taken aback by the speed of the opponent's movement, swallowed a mouthful of blood from his throat, and asked, "There are no protective measures in this street? Is this how they live?"

"On Genesis Day, the first-level mutant announced our 'God-Apocalypse Project'. The humans here have received a special transformation from 'innovators', immune to viruses, and with their abilities, ordinary zombies will not pose a threat at all," Nicholas glanced at Bai Yi, and said casually: "That child didn't hit you just now, if he hits you, whoever will fly out."

Bai Yi: "..."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that you are a ninth-level mutant," Nicholas said without apology, "I'm afraid it won't be possible to fly out, but it will still hurt a little bit."

Bai Yi: "!!!!"

This guy is definitely mocking him on purpose, okay? !

"The facilities here are still very new, built recently?" Silverson asked.

Nicholas nodded slowly, "It's been less than a year, and everything is in the experimental stage. The vaccine was not very successful at first, but people are willing to cooperate."

Silvison laughed, "That bastard Ah Chen said he didn't find any survivors..."

Bai Yi frowned, and said, "Nickels, answer me a question honestly, is Su Chen from Bai Congxi?"

"Cong Xi will be sad when he hears you call him by his name," Nicholas said, "Su Chen is a level-eight mutant who escaped. Of course he is not one of us, but Cong Xi gave him a body after all. , It’s not a problem to leave a few humans for us to experiment with, that’s probably what I know.”

Silverson grasped the point, "You know?"

"Yeah, I always feel that he has something to hide from me about this. Now that the world is dead, we can talk casually for a while," Nicholas said while standing at the intersection and waiting for the signal light, and when the green light turned on, he turned to Bai Yi and Hill behind him. With a wave of his hand, Wei Sen motioned for the two to keep up, "We all know that the ninth-level mutant is reserved for Bye, and the first to seventh are carried out according to the predetermined plan. That day, Cong Xi brought back a half-dead human and said that he would use him. I find it strange to be an eighth-level body..."

Bai Yi said: "Do you also think that he deliberately let the eighth level swallow the human body?"

"Obviously," said Nicholas, "every body needs to be excellent, so that it is possible to defeat the mutant in the battle of the spiritual realm. That human being is weaker than me, and it looks like he was brought back by Cong Xi to die."

The three stood in front of the sensor door of the convenience store, and the door opened to both sides. The middle-aged store manager who was dozing off was awakened by the sound, and looked over sleepily, seeing Nicholas standing up from his seat immediately, "You're back .”

"Good afternoon," Nicholas yawned lazily, walked to the counter and began to dig out his pockets, "I want a frozen yogurt cheesecake, a large one, and there are a lot of people today."

"..." Bai Yi stood at the door, a row of ellipsis appeared above his head, "Hill doesn't eat this kind of food."

Nicholas gave him an annoyed look, "You can eat."

Bai Yi: "..."

Under the murderous eyes of the other party, Bai Yi swallowed his saliva, and swallowed the phrase "I won't eat it either".

After paying the money, Nicholas took the cake packaged by the store manager, held it in his arms with great effort, and muttered contentedly: "I've always wanted to buy a large one, and today I finally have the chance."

"Come up often when you are free," said the store manager.

"I'll come up for your cake too~" Nicholas said happily, then raised his chin at the other two, "Let's go, the elevator will take a while."

Since meeting Nickles, Bai Yi has always had a strange feeling. From the perspective of the camp, they are definitely in the opposite position, but they don't feel tense at all when they get along. Although they are not sure whether what the other party said is true or not, everything has A feeling that is self-evident and natural.

On the way here, he had imagined the whole process from meeting to going deep into the base more than once, but none of them started with opening the door and eating apple pie.

As Nichols said, the 'innovators' were well prepared. Since the aircraft approached this continent, they may have entered a well-woven net. The taste of conspiracy is obvious, but there is no more goodwill or is malicious.

Everything is written by that man, quietly and pervasively, all the details are connected together in the dark, spanning hundreds of years, from the peaceful era to the end of the world, in his script, the protagonist enters the scene , the supporting role quit, Bai Yi suddenly felt that perhaps the foreshadowing had just passed, and this was the real beginning.

"Hey, what are you two thinking about? We've already arrived at the door of our house. Why can't we go back and think about it?"

Nicklus' urging brought Bai Yi back to reality, he shook his head to drive those weird thoughts out of his brain, only to find that Silvison standing beside him hadn't moved, and immediately poked him with his arm, saying: " What's wrong?"

"To be honest, my original plan was to put a lightsaber around Bai Congxi's neck as soon as I saw him, and then forcibly invade the spiritual realm to obtain useful information," Silvison said with a serious expression, using a voice that only the two of them could hear Said: "But what Nichols said just reminded me."

Bai Yi was surprised, "What did he say?"

Silverson repeated earnestly: "What should I call Bai Congxi when I see him?"

Captain Xiaobai: "..."

Bai Yi turned the table angrily in his heart, one or two of them have no sense of camp, so what is the point?What do you mean it must be your life and death in the end?Nicklus is crazy, don't go crazy with him, okay?Can we still bomb the base happily together? !

correct--

Bai Yi suddenly realized a problem. They had planned to destroy the base of 'Innovators' at the beginning, but now there is an orderly street above this base. Living almost exactly the same life as before the end of the world.

Destroying the base means disturbing everything here.

"Cheesecake needs to be chilled to keep it fresh, and the taste will deteriorate at room temperature," Nicholas said: "If you don't move, I will leave first!"
