Embers Ad Infinitum

The north wind was howling, and the lead clouds were hanging low. Although the guards at the city gate were all wearing thick clothes, they still felt very cold, especially their faces, which either felt as if they had been scratched by a knife, causing raw pain, or were numb and cold. .

Although the sky at this time showed a kind of darkness before a heavy rain, it was still morning, and it was daylight in the true sense. This made the guards not so vigilant psychologically.

As they glanced around, all they saw were faces that were too numb to look like living people, as if they were facing a group of statues that couldn't do anything.

"I don't know when the other slave-catching teams from the 'Primary City' will arrive... It won't be a problem if it continues like this." The little leader with a pistol hanging on his waist walked back and forth at the gate of the city and said casually, "The dead people A little more, and maybe a plague will break out.”

That is a nightmare more terrifying than war in the minds of many people.

At this moment, he heard a loud boom.

This clearly stems from an explosion.

This comes from deep in North Street!

All the guards at the city gate turned sideways, turned their heads, and looked over there, wondering what had happened.

At this moment, from the corner of his eye, the little leader saw a group of unshaven wilderness wanderers suddenly stand up from the crowd near the city gate.

They all have guns in their hands!

Some were revolvers, some were shotguns, and some were tattered-looking rifles, but they were still guns.

"Quiet..." As soon as the little boss shouted one word, he heard a lot of gunshots.

His vision immediately went dark, and the severe pain was like a tide, drowning him.

Bang bang bang!

After a round of fierce shooting, most of the guards at the city gate fell, and the remaining few were all injured and in extremely bad condition.

They each ran towards the fortifications and fought back with their weapons.

However, they were extremely horrified to find that the group of wilderness wanderers rushed over in the face of the bullets. Although some people kept falling, the rest were not affected at all, as if there was a new world ahead, the pure land of bliss.

The expressions of these people were extremely distorted, and their eyes were bloodshot, like intelligent beasts or "careless people".

At this time, Li Tou held a loudspeaker and shouted crazily:

“Come in! Rush in!

"If you rush in, you will have something to eat! If you rush in, you will survive!"

Countless wanderers in the wilderness outside the city turned their attention here, and their eyes turned red one after another.

Seeing that there were only a few guards left at the city gate and they were almost cleared, they instinctively stood up and rushed over there.

Some people still retained their physical strength and ran very fast, while others were already very weak and could only follow slowly.

Click, click, click, several machine guns on the city tower sprayed out fire, and large areas of wilderness wanderers fell down like straw.

In just one minute of shooting, a large number of people lost their lives.

The wilderness wanderer behind shrank, hesitated, paused.

But at this moment, those machine guns misfired and the ammunition belts needed to be replaced.

The first batch of people who rushed into the city gate, Ah Cai and others, had already eliminated the guards there, grabbed better weapons, and quickly rushed up the stairs to the city tower.

When the wilderness wanderers who were about to collapse outside the city saw this, they became crazy again and poured into Weed City like a tide.

Faced with this situation, the main force of the city defense army and the city's main guard, which had been assembled due to the explosion in the First Hospital, didn't know which side to support.

…………

In the First Hospital, when Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei raised their guns and aimed at their colleagues in the company, Jiang Baimian finally figured out one thing:

Lin Feifei entered "Wild Wolf Alley", which had nothing to do with any bar. She passed through it and entered North Street through a secret passage.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao, who was struggling with his hand, suddenly asked:

"Why don't you shoot it yourself and get two servants?"

"Father" originally didn't want to waste any more time, but for some reason, he always felt that he should share his careful planning. Otherwise, wouldn't he have done so many things in vain?

"Don't be anxious yet." He said to Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei.

Then, amidst Odik's constant sneezing, he looked at Shang Jianyao with a smile and said:

"you guess."

Shang Jianyao suddenly became very interested:

"I guess it's the limitation of your ability.

“The essence of it is to associate a certain part of your body with the corresponding part of someone else, so that the target can perform the desired action on your behalf.

"In other words, the movements we are doing now are equivalent to the movements you make with your hands.

"Now that it has made an action, it can't complete other actions, such as drawing a gun and shooting."

"Father" chuckled:

“Although it’s not in the middle, it’s not far off.

"You are smarter than I thought, but there seems to be something wrong with your brain."

Shang Jianyao smiled, looked at the other party, and said strange words:

"Pour, pour, pour..."

As soon as he said three words "down", Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei's eyes became distracted, and their bodies lay down on the ground uncontrollably.

"Priest" also found that he was about to lose consciousness.

He blurted out in shock:

"You, you..."

Jiang Baimian, who was in the side gate area, laughed:

“As a company that specializes in biology and medicine, it doesn’t seem too strange to be equipped with anesthetic gas.

"Knowing that you can make other people's hands uncontrollable and hurt yourself, why don't we make some preparations before we enter here?"

Her electric eel-shaped bioprosthetic limb also has a function, which is the consciousness linkage chip. When there is no movement, it sprays an anesthetic gas with a very light smell and is difficult to detect.

Therefore, after getting rid of the bandit gang with the exoskeleton device, Jiang Baimian said that one of his methods was to surrender, and after being restrained, he would fight back to the extreme.

This is how she fights back.

And this, combined with her genetically modified ability to hold her breath, is enough to achieve a reversal - she can also change the type of gas, turning anesthesia into poison.

Of course, she didn't need to show this this time. After being prepared in advance, both she and Shang Jianyao took the corresponding preventive medicine.

The vinegar that "Priest" used to restrain Odik perfectly covered up those strange smells.

The effect was beyond Jiang Baimian's expectation.

"Priest"'s consciousness becomes increasingly blurred:

"I shouldn't..."

He began to regret why he talked so much.

It must be said that his willpower is really strong. Odik, who was enveloped in the smell of vinegar, had already passed out and stopped sneezing.

Shang Jianyao's smile became brighter and brighter:

"You don't think you really like talking that much, do you?

"Guess when it was affected by my ability."

The time he used the roll to get close to the "Father" was not just for shooting, but to force the enemy to Odik's side.

Otherwise, what does it matter if we are a little further apart? No matter how big the inside of the building is, how big can it be?

This won't have a significant impact on his shooting percentage.

His hidden purpose at that time was to use "hypocritical people" to influence "priests".

However, this time, he didn't let the other party do something that seriously violated reason and would regret after doing it.

That way, the effect of the "pretentious person" will be lifted immediately.

He just used this as a back-up for Odik's failure to control "Father". He used his actions, language and performance to induce "Father" to say a lot more hypocritically, buying enough time for Jiang Baimian.

——When the "hypocrisy" is not so obvious, the target will have difficulty noticing that it has been affected in a short period of time, which can allow the effect of the "hypocrisy" to last for two to three minutes.

Therefore, even if Shang Jianyao has been fighting against his and Jiang Baimian's hands since then and cannot use other awakened person abilities, it does not prevent him from making "Father" talkative.

After hearing Shang Jianyao's words, "Father"'s body gradually softened, with unwillingness remaining in his eyes.

Shang Jianyao kept his smile unchanged and added:

"You lost because you are anti-intellectual. Your servants have no IQ and are just puppets who follow your orders. But my companions are very, very strong."

With a pop, the "priest" fell to the ground, completely unconscious.

"Tsk, there's no need to flatter him at the end." Jiang Baimian turned around and tried to open the door for ventilation.

With a strong movement of her left arm, she directly lifted the aluminum-white electric rolling shutter door.

The cold wind from outside immediately blew in from the doorway, and together with the similar people coming in through the broken glass, the odor in the area was cleaned up.

During this process, Jiang Baimian asked casually:

"Besides waiting for my anesthetic gas to take effect, what other preparations have you made?"

Shang Jianyao immediately raised the "ice moss" in his hand, aimed at his head, and suddenly pulled the trigger.

The trigger was pulled.

An empty sound echoed, and there was no bullet in the gun.

"I only loaded three rounds into each gun..." Shang Jianyao explained with a smile.

And this has been used in the previous attacks.

If there is still a chance and shooting is needed, Shang Jianyao will discard "Ice Moss" and replace it with "United 202".

Jiang Baimian couldn't help laughing when he heard this:

"Are you kidding him in the end?"

There is no need to fight back and forth with your hands at all, you can take the time to use the ability on "Priest" once.

"The plan is to anesthetize him, then the result must be to anesthetize him, unless it is impossible to succeed." Shang Jianyao looked serious.

Jiang Baimian smiled and was about to ask Shang Jianyao to drag Lei Yunsong and Lin Feifei to the lawn outside. When they wake up, use "reasoning clown" to make them friendly, and then formulate a plan to relieve hypnosis according to the situation. .

At this moment, she heard dense gunshots in the distance.

It was as if a war was breaking out.

"Those wilderness wanderers..." Jiang Baimian frowned and quickly recalled all the previous details.

"Not good!" she suddenly said to herself.

At this time, Shang Jianyao also sighed:

"Why."

Seeing Jiang Baimian looking over, Shang Jianyao took the initiative to explain:

"I think this 'priest' is too weak and not as powerful as I thought."

Jiang Baimian nodded seriously and said:

"I also discovered a problem.

"When 'Father' hypnotized Zeng Guangwang and others, didn't he think that those people might fail to commit suicide and spread his appearance and abilities? But the fact is, it is really possible!

"If this is his style of conduct, or a trap for Odik, it is hard for me to imagine that he could have been active for so long under the pursuit of a big force like the Prime City. It would be too imprudent."

Having said this, Jiang Baimian paused and said in a deep voice:

"He looked more like a decoy."
