Chapter 896 "Scale Man" (Seventeen)
After the literary drama, the screen turned to the big scene again.
This time, unlike before, natural disasters and earthquakes were more frequent, as if there was a moody god sitting in the sky. The clear sky turned dark, the rain poured down, and the mountains shook and the ground cracked. Even the scale people could not escape the huge cracks in the ground.
The violent shaking and deafening roar made the audience sitting in the screening room feel an extremely strong psychological pressure. Several children cried, and the parents around were in a hurry to comfort them. The harsh children's voices intensified the atmosphere of terror. For a moment, everyone could not tell whether the crying came from inside or outside the screen. The seeds of fear took root in the bone marrow, piercing the bones, blood, and flesh. Many people subconsciously turned away or closed their eyes.
After a while, there was a rustling sound from the seats. It was the parents of the children who saw that they couldn't coax the children and didn't want to affect other people's viewing experience, so they bent down and hurriedly left with their children in their arms, quietly apologizing all the way until their figures and sharp cries disappeared behind the soundproof door of the theater.
Unexpectedly, few people were dissatisfied with these parents and children who left midway. They even realized through this behavior that "Oh, I was watching a movie", and they were relieved and their nerves were no longer so tense.
"The special effects are amazing..."
Someone murmured near the seat, and his tone was full of awe for Qin Yi Technology.
Fang Youwen's camera direction also made a great contribution. The picture is mainly based on two perspectives, one is the crowd of people fleeing on the road, and the other is a cold panoramic view. The two are intertwined, showing the grand and terrible momentum of the disaster.
Qin Jue's expression gradually became solemn. She saw the rock wall rising from the ground with the violent earthquake, and the ground cracking, as if it was torn open by invisible hands. Huge gaps. Looking up, there is pitch darkness without sunlight; looking down, there is an endless abyss covered with thick fog. Not to mention finding a way out, even finding a safe place to stay is a luxury.
The scale people who once boasted paid the price for this, and fell into the endless cracks in the ground with their "protected people", or were buried in the thick black smoke.
Bright colors finally appeared on the gloomy and strange canvas of heaven and earth. Several mechas rushed out of the black smoke like drilling holes, and the scales followed closely, guarding the container. Those who had shown their value and ability to Rui were among them. Everyone was tied up back to back and fixed in the box. Everyone tried their best to endure the discomfort caused by the violent shaking, like a united ant colony.
"Over there!"
Pan Qing's voice was like a ray of dawn that broke through the dark sky. As soon as she finished speaking, a fierce and gorgeous fire "boomed" through the clouds. Rui took the lead to open the way, and Pan Hong immediately followed in the mecha. The first thing he did was to place the container steadily in a relatively less dangerous area.
Balls of flames burst out one after another. They were powerful scale people like Apo and A Liu. The flames gathered into a wall of fire, like a barrier and a barrier, blocking everyone behind them.
"Chijiu and Minhua are two stupid things!" Apo said angrily, "I said that people with scale armor will die-"
"Who else can I blame!" Amber, who gathered fire, also felt pain for the sacrifice of his companions, but it was an indisputable fact that they had brought it upon themselves.
In the past, those scale people who "circled people" would bring their own "resources" when they fled. It was certainly much more comfortable to be wrapped in scale armor than to be squeezed in a container with others. It was safe, needless to say, and they could even go sightseeing, which was as exciting as riding a roller coaster. This is why there are always humans who prefer to go to "private" rather than "public" people like Rui and Pan Hong.
And many previous migrations did not go wrong, which made these humans who chose to stick together feel that their decisions were correct, and the scale people were even more confident, but they didn't want to overturn this time.
The skylight pierced through the clouds, and the big sun like a fireball rose high. Suddenly, there was a deafening roar, and a black-gray mushroom cloud rose in the sky in the distance. Dust, debris and rocks spread outward rapidly from the erupting volcano. The momentum was strong and violent, and the billowing smoke once again dyed the sky as black as ink.
"Pan Qing!" Rui, who was supporting the fire wall at the top, roared.
"Stay where you are!"
In the mecha that transformed into a spherical shield, Pan Qing's half of his face that was not covered by scales was full of sweat, and he shouted hoarsely.
Bang!
The volcano was like a beast that had just woken up from hibernation. After a brief yawn, it stood up completely and roared to the sky.
The nearby mountain top collapsed suddenly, and the hot and sticky magma overflowed from the crater at a speed visible to the naked eye, like an emperor who looked down on everything expanding his territory, gushing down from the high ground, and there was only shocking red wherever it went.
The birds were startled and the few wild animals fled in the opposite direction like crazy, but they were all engulfed by the thick black smoke and boiling lava flow, leaving no bones behind.
The roar and explosion, the collapse of the sky and the collapse of the earth, the almost doomsday-like horrifying scene made Rui grit his teeth. The jungle was wailing, the mountains were weeping, and the sky was laughing. He was just a little bit away from completely overturning his trust in Pan Qing because of his fear instinct.
In the end, Rui's body exploded with crackling sounds, like firewood thrown into a bonfire. The next second, colorful flames shot up into the sky, and a layer of vague air waves condensed outside the flames.
It was an energy shield transformed from scales.
Rui was burning.
The music made the atmosphere increasingly tense. Pan Hong controlled the mecha to block the container. Pan Qing in the cockpit not far away stared at the rapidly flashing screen, with a line of blood winding down from her cracked lips. The chaotic and tragic scene in front of her almost made her give up the desire to live, but she still insisted on her previous judgment and did not change her mind.
The magma surged and the hot steam rose. The camera boldly adopted the "magma perspective" at this time, moving forward layer by layer, like a group of snakes spreading outward crazily, and soon it would pounce on the air shield fire wall that symbolized the last line of defense!
Everyone's heart was in their throat, and the picture suddenly stopped!
The perspective was far away. Under the rolling smoke, the land in front of the magma was cracked by the heat, and a gap of 20 meters was forcibly cut off.
The terrain changed immediately, and the scorching lava flow slid to a lower place, like a huge red waterfall washing over the edge of the area where everyone was, and the fire wall and the land it guarded, like a protruding rock in the waterfall, or a water curtain cave covered with vines, extremely dangerously avoided the boiling magma.
——Pan Qing's heart suddenly fell.
She exhaled heavily, and her originally dazed and scattered eyes flashed with tired but extremely excited light.
The audience in the screening room almost forgot to breathe, and only then did they slowly breathe out. They only felt that their adrenaline surged at that moment, and even now their heartbeats were violent.
Rui, who was self-immolating, had a face full of pain. He dispersed the sky-high flames and staggered to the ground from a high altitude. His whole body was still emitting white smoke from the burning.
"Boss!" A Liu turned back and shouted. Rui raised his sweat-soaked face and nodded at him.
The originally gathered inner layer of the fire wall was a little thin. Half of the scales retreated, and the remaining half continued to guard.
Pan Hong jumped out of the mecha and opened the door of the container.
The air was still filled with volcanic ash. He activated the smoke filter, untied the straps that bound everyone, quickly and professionally distributed emergency food and water, and put masks on those who were seriously unwell one by one, and carried them, hugged them, or helped them to another rescue container, and took care of them separately with those who had medical care skills.
Rui lowered his head and took two breaths. He coughed awkwardly because of the dust. He barely used the scales to cover his mouth and nose before he stood up and planned to check the survival situation.
At this moment, the ground shook violently again, and the people standing, including Rui, fell to the ground unexpectedly. The earth lost its balance, and Rui fell to the edge. Before he could react, he rolled out of the cliff.
"Boss!"
A Liu's heart was shocked. He rushed over and grabbed Rui, and threw him to a safe direction with all his strength.
However, the next second, A Liu, who had just rescued Rui, felt his feet loose. The fragile rock was completely broken from the mountain wall due to his weight. A Liu fell backwards and fell down.
The steaming magma was right below. Throwing Rui back just now was the last burst of physical strength. A Liu, who was completely exhausted, opened his eyes in shock, and couldn't believe that he was going to die here.
No... I haven't...
See the new world that the boss said with my own eyes...
Swish!
Ah Liu stopped in mid-air, and Pan Hong pulled him back. Above Pan Hong was a powered exoskeleton deeply embedded in the rock wall. The two of them were vertically attached to the cliff in a very extreme posture.
"... You?"
Ah Liu made some noises in a trance. The consequences of overdrawing his physical strength due to gathering the fire wall and saving Rui just now broke out at this moment. Intense fatigue surged into his limbs and bones, his brain was dizzy, his eyes were black, and his body even began to soften.
"Hey!!!"
Pan Hong's iconic loud voice sounded.
He looked up at the powered exoskeleton. The situation was urgent, and he "removed a thigh" and inserted it into the rock wall. The powered exoskeleton of the leg is mainly used to assist jumping. It has many functions and is load-bearing enough to "pull" the two of them up, but at this time, because it is separated from other exoskeleton groups, it needs additional charging separately, and must wait for a certain period of time.
"Are you okay! Can you open your eyes! Can you speak!
"How do you feel about your body temperature now? Can your muscles still work? Do you want to describe your current feelings? Sharing your mood is also OK! "
Amid the falling debris and pebbles, Pan Hong kept shouting. A Liu, who was on the verge of coma, was annoyed by his chattering and said:
"You are so noisy...!"
In stark contrast to his annoyed expression, Pan Hong was refreshed after hearing the voice.
"It doesn't matter! As long as you can stay conscious, you can say whatever you want!" he shouted.
"You must stay awake! ! Don't sleep! !
"Come to think of it! I apologized to you before, but you didn't forgive me! I didn't mean that you must forgive me! I said, how about you scold me now!
"We still have to wait a minute before we can go up, you can say whatever you want! Anyway, you must stay conscious! It will be very dangerous to fall asleep!
"Come on, stay alive!!!"
The loud voice was unusually clear under the bubbling noise of the magma. Some people in the screening room subconsciously complained about the noise, but looking at the dusty Pan Hong on the big screen, they were like A Liu, not knowing whether to be angry or moved.
Qin Jue frowned suddenly, and his heart broke open.
To put it nicely, it was sincere, but to put it bluntly, it was simply a "silly" guy. She had such a guy in her memory, and the impression was extremely deep.
Very small, but very strong, well-behaved and obedient, hit wherever he was pointed, could kill blood on the battlefield, and was not afraid at all, but valued every promise like a child, naive and stubborn, and sometimes stubborn to death.
...It was their silly rabbit.
At that time, the order was gone and the world was miserable. Even ordinary people who were forced to carry knives and guns would collapse physically and mentally due to the huge psychological pressure. They would "blow up camps" in gathering places and kill each other as if to vent their anger, let alone those who have experienced hundreds of battles. , Qin Jue held countless lives in his hands.
Many times, she literally lost her head from killing. The sadistic desire rushed into her brain, and her rationality disappeared within a few seconds. She just wanted to plunge into the broken limbs and be wrapped in the thick smell of blood. As long as Cheng Zheng, the Seventh Military Advisor and the little fox are not around, Qin Jue, who has scarlet eyes, can turn into a human meat grinder in minutes, with disastrous consequences.
Among the comrades with whom she has the closest connection, Tutu has no ability to comfort her.
She doesn't have the unique mental soft waves like the little fox, nor does she have the bomb-disposal aura of the Seventh Army Advisor. She can't be like Cheng Zheng who can accompany Qin Jue to fight until she feels happy, allowing her to release that crazy energy in one breath. Let it out to the end.
So she used her method to calm down the murderous Qin Jue.
drag.
Hard drag.
Without any skills, just plain and simple, he just pounced on Qin Jue, hugged Qin Jue tightly, and dragged him hard.
In the apocalypse, Qin Jue was 1.96 meters tall, and the rabbit that had grown a long way only reached her ribs. She hugged her, pushing the soil with her toes and gathering it into a small pile, but it still could not stop Qin Jue's progress. It's as futile as shaking a big tree.
Qin Jue, who had a murderous intention, basically refused to recognize her relatives. Tutu would be dragged dozens of meters away, kicked and beaten, and her bones would be broken and her flesh would become bloody. However, she had the strongest willpower, so she just used that stubborn energy to fight. Against Qin Jue's ferocity, even if he loses the ability to move in the end, he will still crawl over and grab Qin Jue's trousers.
As long as Qin Jue wakes up and any one of the other three people comes over, it will be victory.
A simple-minded rabbit can't think about more complicated things, so just say what you say, and if you can't do it, keep doing it until you can do it.
When Qin Jue asked her afterwards, touching her swollen face, he would only get a thumbs up and a bright toothy smile:
"Look, isn't this a success?"
...so stupid.
This kind of fool who doesn't care, who wholeheartedly only wants to do your best, save you, and keep you alive, to the point of not being afraid of feeding a tiger with his own body, will really make people unable to do anything.
On the giant screen, Ah Liu really started scolding Pan Hong, his voice was weak and feeble, but Pan Hong kept responding with "Yeah, yeah, yeah", not caring, and even encouraged him to curse a few more words, trying to cheer up as much as possible. By the end of charging of the powered exoskeleton, the two were rescued.
The sense of déjà vu was too strong, and memories filled with scarlet blood rushed to his eyes. Qin Jue, who was sitting in the auditorium, suddenly experienced heart palpitations, his hands were shaking, his legs were weak, his subcutaneous nerves were throbbing, his skin was numb, and his breathing was weak and he could not catch his breath. gas.
The muscles on her face twitched, and she adjusted her sitting posture slightly. She crossed her arms under her ribs, contracted them hard, and pinched her palms tightly at the sides and back of her waist.
"I promised the Seventh Military Advisor to keep a good watch on you, Captain - I succeeded!"
With his eardrums buzzing, Qin Jue pressed his lips tightly and used his hands harder and harder to roughly suppress his emotions and body's instinctive stress response.
In the picture, the camera suddenly switched. It turned out that at the same time as the earthquake, the volcano erupted again, and several large or small stones were ejected far away. People quickly repaired the fire wall again, but in the end, due to too much physical exertion, the fire wall was not thick enough. One, the thin areas were smashed open mercilessly by stones, and the ground was in chaos.
Suddenly, a huge boulder penetrated the wall of fire and hit Amber directly behind the wall, knocking him several meters away.
"amber!"
The blood in Hemerocallis in the container suddenly turned cold.
The next moment, a thick and broken tree root fell from a high place, and the impact point was at Amber's place, and he was still struggling in pain at this moment, unable to dodge.
"—Attention!"
Outside the cliff, the charging display on the small screen of the powered exoskeleton finally reached 100%. Pan Hong shouted, and then his arms suddenly exerted force, and he rushed from the cliff to the sky with the exhausted A Liu.
"careful!"
The shriek was so sharp that it cut through the dark sky like a sharp sword. Hemerocallis suddenly rushed out of the fluorescent blue translucent smoke filter and flew towards Amber.
The camera switch was like a gust of wind and rain. The next second, Pan Hong and A Liu fell to the ground quickly. The broken wood they smashed down was suddenly swallowed up by the dazzling fire. Only a small section of dead branches remained, and they were hit to death with a "snap" On the back of the daylilies that protected Amber.
The earthquake subsided and the crisis was resolved.
Ah Liu looked at Pan Hong blankly, and at this moment he realized the reason why Rui Weiwei had a different attitude towards him.
Not far away, Amber's eyelids trembled in pain. Before her eyes were fully opened, she subconsciously reached out to protect Hemerocallis's back.
The familiar yet unfamiliar touch suddenly startled him. He struggled to sit up from Hemerocallis's embrace, and sure enough, he saw a cluster of hard and shiny green-black fine scales in the damaged clothing.
