I take skeletons to the apocalypse

"I can't go!" Before Chao Mo could reply, Gu Ming became anxious: "Captain, you absolutely can't go back with them. At worst, we'll take the boat back and fight them!"

"Bring the boat back? Well, I'd welcome it." The other side snorted a few times inexplicably, as if wishing they would all go back, so that they could catch them all.

"Sheng Bai." Chao Mo stabilized his mind, but his voice was calm: "Please give me some time, I want to discuss it with my companion."

Sheng Bai agreed happily: "Okay, you can discuss it with City Lord Chaomo, but... I am not very patient. If I get bored waiting, I will kill a few people to relieve the boredom. Anyway, they are some irrelevant people. If you want to come City Lord Chaomo shouldn't mind."

"I'll give you an answer in 10 minutes." Chao Mo said, "Don't kill anyone."

"Alright, just 10 minutes, one more second, I'll kill one."

After hanging up the communicator, Chao Mo's face turned completely cold.

There was silence on the boat, only the sound of the cold sea water was left, and the turbulent ink color was connected with the sky. The people on the boat seemed to be lonely souls floating in the Styx.The atmosphere was dreary and dreary.

Even the little crow on Xia Xi's shoulder shrank its neck, and put its head on Xia Xi's chin, quietly.

Gu Ming was afraid that his captain would be overwhelmed, so he gave himself away, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Captain, they have a big business in Jingting City, but it is impossible to send everyone out to deal with us, right? Although we are small , but the strength is always okay, and there are so many people in the refuge in Tianming City, if we fight against them, we may not lose."

"You may not lose?" Chao Mo shook his head: "Sheng Bai is the doctor's subordinate, and the doctor will never leave any chance for others to fight. Judging from Sheng Bai's past attack situation, once they launch an attack on other shelters , there must be a crushing trend, the number of people and the level are twice as many as the target."

"Tianming City's refuge is not small. They are determined to investigate, and it won't take long to find out. As for us, Jingting City may have already figured out the details when we dealt with the Chosen One. This time they attacked , must have included Jing Lan and Mr. Black Crow's combat power together, and believed that the victory was in hand. Only then will we show up. We sail back, which is tantamount to death."

"Is Jingting City as strong as this in less than half a year?" Gu Ming's eyes straightened, he ground his molars again, and said with a stiff neck: "It's not good for everyone to die together, it's better than letting the captain you A person was arrested and sent to a ghost place like the Jingting City Research Institute."

"It's not..." Xia Xi had an unformed idea in his mind. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by another voice.

"Can't we just give up the Tianming City Refuge?" It was Song Qiao who spoke, this normally capable and bright girl, now she had a kind of unusual determination.

As soon as her words came out, it caused a small discussion.To be honest, if there was a choice between Chaomo and Tianming City Refuge, most of the people present would choose Chaomo.It's just that the idea of ​​abandoning Tianming City's refuge is too cold-blooded and too contrary to human nature. They just thought about it in their hearts and didn't say it out loud.

Song Qiao's rational tone was almost indifferent, but there was an imperceptible tremor at the end: "I know this is a bit heartless, but I'm not afraid of being the bad guy. First of all, we and Tianming City Refuge are just cooperating after all. It doesn’t matter. It’s okay to help them when they are in trouble, but in this situation, we don’t need to lose our lives for them.”

"Secondly, with Sheng Bai's behavior style, even if the captain sacrifices himself to save Tian Mingshi's shelter, they may still kill Tian Mingshi after controlling you. After all, they have always treated those who are not Those who are willing to obediently return to the refuge in Jingting City."

"Thirdly, we not only represent ourselves, we are not lonely ghosts in this life, we have relatives and family members. Before fighting against Jingting City, we must first protect ourselves. If all of us go to fight desperately, our Who will protect the family?"

At first glance, this statement sounds reasonable and well-founded, and it can represent a part of the intellectuals who have been honed by countless deaths in the last days.But Xia Xi could tell that Song Qiao was still struggling in his heart. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of living beings. Not long ago, during the sea slug disaster, the two sides fought side by side.It's just that this weight can't compare with the love for Chaomo, teammates, and relatives.

Xia Xi couldn't help thinking of Jing Lan's attitude of ignoring him when he knew he was kidnapped at the beginning of the last days. Did he ever put his own safety and his other interests on the balance to be weighed?

Xia Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of weighing the pros and cons, but when the person whose life was put on the balance was himself, he was really unhappy.

Especially when the other party is someone you trust, but you are still abandoned.

Xia Xi silently watched the quarrel that was gradually heating up, and then looked at Chao Mo, whose eyes were still full of entanglements.

How will you choose?

Xia Xi was a little curious.Chao Mo gave him a somewhat contradictory impression. On the one hand, the other party has an almost innocent kindness, which is very similar to Zhang Lin.On the other hand, Chao Mo is much more rational than Zhang Lin.

On the boat Chaomo was on, except for Xia Xi, they were all reborn close to Chaomo, and the two voices argued for a while.

On one side is the rational school represented by Song Qiao:

"Yes, if you go, you will die."

"It's not that we don't want to save it, it's that there is really no other way."

On one side is the passionate faction represented by Gu Ming:

"But let Shengbai slaughter the city like this, what is the difference between us and those cold-blooded monsters in Jingting City, I would rather fight them than stepping on other people's corpses to survive!"

"That's right, those beasts in Jingting City bully people too much. I've had enough of this kind of life. Today we abandoned Tianming City, and tomorrow it might be our own family's turn."

Chao Mo listened to the debate between the people on both sides, looked at the ever-decreasing time, took a deep breath, and made a decision: "Okay, don't make any noise. I'll go."

Xia Xi's eyes flickered slightly, with a little surprise.

Gu Ming clapped his hands: "That's right, we're going back! I'm afraid what those guys will do."

"Captain, I'll go and notify the pilothouse." He was about to leave the cabin when he said that, but was grabbed by Chao Mo.

Zhao Mo stared at Gu Ming's black and white eyes, and repeated in a cold voice: "I mean, I'll go alone."

"Ah?" Gu Ming's expression froze on the spot, and then he shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, no, you will die if you go there alone, no, it's more terrible than sending you to death."

But Chao Mo had already made up his mind, and he seemed much calmer, and even began to arrange the follow-up in an orderly manner: "After I leave, you send a message to let Xiang Lei come back, and he will be in charge of Zhuguang's affairs in the future. If there is a way, I will try to escape, or end myself. You went to the new base, developed in a low-key manner, and accumulated strength. No one is allowed to come to my rescue. I don’t want to see you sacrifice your life in vain. On Jinglan’s side, stay as long as you can, and you can’t Don't be hostile either, Mister Black Crow..."

"No Captain, Zhuguang can't do without you." Song Qiao still firmly objected: "I'm not afraid of death, and I can understand your feelings about the maintenance of Tianming City's shelter. If I'm the one who is going to leave today, I will definitely not Hesitation. But you are the soul of Zhuguang, and if you leave, Zhuguang will disperse."

"Chaomo. I have a safer way here." Xia Xi finally polished the idea in his mind into shape: "I am similar in stature to yours. I will change my body shape slightly, and then use sea slug skin as a disguise to replace it." If you go over, they shouldn't recognize you."

"Mr. Black Crow, thank you for your kindness." Chao Mo's expression was slightly moved: "But the other party is coming for me, I can't push you into the fire pit instead, and the other party must verify my healing ability, and you will not be able to verify it then .”

"Don't worry, I've already thought of countermeasures for these, and I'm at least [-]% sure that I won't be seen through." Xia Xi smiled at Chaomo: "I originally planned to go to the Jingting City Research Institute, but now it's just a different way." It saves me trying to find the way in by myself."

"Do you really have a solution?" Chao Mo asked doubtfully.

"Naturally, I'm not the kind of person to sacrifice myself for nothing." Xia Xi pointed to Chaomo's watch: "The time is almost up."

Seeing that the 10-minute limit is approaching.Chao Mo hesitated a little.He knew in his heart that he would definitely die if he went there, but it might not be safe for the black crow to go. Although the skeleton ability is a bit special, the means of the refuge are even more unpredictable... But since Mr. Black Crow said there is a way, at least compared to He can only heal himself, he should be more confident.

"Okay, I don't have the hobby of dying." Xia Xi urged again: "Reply first. I will explain my plan to you later"

Chaomo called Sister Hua's communicator again.

Sheng Bai's happy voice appeared on the communicator: "Have you figured it out? It's quite punctual."

"I promise to go back with you, don't touch the people in Tianming City's refuge, I want to see that they are all alive." Chao Mo said to Sheng Bai according to Xia Xi's intention.

"Tsk, it's really boring." Sheng Bai sighed a little bored: "Okay, I'll wait for you in the lobby of Tianming City's refuge, half an hour, enough time, right?"

"Not enough, our boat is too far away, and we can only take a single-person speedboat to go back, at least... an hour and a half."

"One hour, I'll take someone to pick you up at the pier. That's it." After Sheng Bai finished speaking, he hung up the communicator domineeringly.

Xia Xi, who had listened to the bargaining between the two, frowned, "Half an hour to prepare, half an hour to return, that's enough."

This is Xia Xi's first time wearing sea slug skin. This thing is not an ordinary layer of skin. It is more like some kind of parasite. After wrapping, it will automatically stick to the whole body and fuse with the skin unless it is torn from the opening. , other places are no different from real skin.

The base has only changed one thing about the function of the sea slug skin, which is to provide a one-time face pinching service while wearing it.That is, when using a new sea slug skin, you can set the desired appearance independently.As long as you "think" that shape in detail, it will automatically change and finalize.Once finalized, it cannot be changed.

As for sound camouflage, the base has created a biological voice changer using the vocal system of sea slugs, which can be built into the throat cavity.But Xia Xi didn't use this, he could change his voice by himself.After getting ready, Xia Xi changed into Chaomo's clothes, put on silver-rimmed glasses, fixed her wig on top of her head, and raised her eyebrows at Chaomomo with a smile.

But Chaomo was still a little worried: "If they want to test their healing skills, what should you do?"

"I can heal myself." Xia Xi stretched out his arm, and with a thought, there was an extra bloodstain on his hand.Then he touched it with his hand, and the blood stains slowly disappeared.It looks decent, but there is no white halo when the healing ability is used.

"You delay for three days, I will arrange a team here, and I will immediately notify Sister Hua to disband the shelter in place, and let her lead people to disperse and live in other shelters. This is a bit hard life, and finally there is a way out." Chao Mo said: "Shengbai's convoy has a lot of people, and they probably won't be able to reach Jingting City in three days. After three days, you can find a chance to escape by yourself. I will also notify Xiang Lei to lead a rescue team."

"Don't worry, I know." Xia Xi tore off the bone bracelet, put it on the little crow's bird's claw, and said to it: "Stay away, don't get too close, people will see it."

"Quack." The little crow flapped its wings and called twice.

Xia Xi took Chaomo's communicator again, and said to him, "I'll use my bones to send you news if something happens."

It's not difficult to operate a speedboat, Xia Xi can learn it in no time.On the dark sea, Xia Xi's single-person speedboat pulled out a white line, braved the wind and waves, and galloped towards the pier.

At the pier, Xia Xi saw the "butcher Sheng Bai" that Chaomo called.

The man looked very young, with red lips and white teeth. He was a very iconic young man. He smiled gracefully. He looked like a college student who hadn't graduated. He was the kind who used to go to the library every day, not a butcher who killed people without blinking an eye.

As soon as Sheng Bai saw Xia Xi, he greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see, don't come here without any problems, Lord Chaomo. You really kept me waiting."

Xia Xi felt the fluctuation of the opponent's ability, and felt that the strength should not be weaker than Zou Qing.

Xia Xi glanced behind him, and there were hundreds of fully armed supernatural beings standing in battle.The situation to welcome him is not small, it seems that Sheng Bai is bound to win Chaomo.

Sheng Bai winked at the people behind him, and immediately several body-strengthened supernatural beings walked towards Xia Xi, holding collars that suppress supernatural powers in their hands.

"Don't be nervous, just let them search you." Sheng Bai put his hands in his pockets and said to Xia Xi with a smile.

It seems that they want to control the person more than verifying their integrity.Probably they haven't thought that someone is so bold and dares to make small moves under the nose of Jingting City.

"The body search is no problem, and the restraint collar can be avoided. After all, I guess you don't want to take a dead person home." Xia Xi took the initiative to take two steps forward, reflecting the lights of the pier, so that the other party could see herself clearly.

His body was bleeding, and a large piece of flesh on his arm was like a withered petal, withered and peeled off from Xia Xi's body, and then another piece.But the wound didn't affect Xia Xi too much, and they soon returned to normal.

"This is?" Sheng Bai looked at the wounds on Xia Xi's body that kept appearing and disappearing in amazement, his eyes sparkled with excitement and amazement, as if he saw some beautiful scenery.

"A newly developed parasitic phytotoxin, I call it the withering rose." Xia Xi introduced the non-existent toxin in a flat tone: "It resides in my body, absorbs my vitality, and makes me continue to breathe like this." The ground, withered and withered, once I stopped using the power to heal myself, it could kill me within half an hour."

"What about the antidote?"

"There is no antidote. Only my abilities can alleviate it."

Sheng Bai understood what Xia Xi said.The smile gradually faded, and the eyes narrowed dangerously: "I hate being threatened the most."

"Oh." Xia Xi imitated Chaomo's movement and pushed down his glasses calmly, threatening with kindness: "Please take me to Tianming City's shelter, I want to see that everyone is safe and sound, if any of them If someone makes a mistake, I will stop treating myself."
