Embers Ad Infinitum

Long Yuehong didn't say much and went to the church's public restroom with Shang Jianyao.

Because Shang Jianyao wanted to take a bath and didn't want to wait in the toilet, he simply came to the door, blew the cold wind from the other side of the corridor, and looked at the shadowy plants outside the window.

The night is so peaceful.

As soon as he glanced at it, he suddenly saw a window slowly opening, and a figure quietly rolled into the corridor from the outside.

Long Yuehong's heart tightened and she pulled out the "Bing Moss" pistol.

Soon, with the help of the cold and bright moonlight, he could clearly see the appearance of the intruder:

He is only 1.6 meters tall, with yellow hair sticking softly to his head, and bright green eyes. He is a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Vier...Long Yuehong recognized this "Hide and Seek Champion".

Almost at the same time, Vier looked at him and showed a harmless smile:

"Is it your custom as outsiders to sleep in front of the toilet?"

Long Yuehong always had a good temper, so she didn't pay attention to the sarcasm in the other person's words and simply explained:

"Waiting for someone."

"That guy in the monkey mask?" Viel walked towards the public restroom step by step.

"Yes." Long Yuehong nodded calmly.

Vier looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said:

"Don't you hate that guy? He's ugly and tall."

Long Yuehong didn't expect that the other party would ask so directly, and he hesitated and said:

"He, he is actually a very nice person and has no bad intentions.

"Sometimes, he deliberately mocks you to stimulate you and give you the motivation to forge ahead. Sometimes, he really points out your shortcomings and gives you what he thinks is good advice. This is all for your own good. "

As he spoke, his words gradually became fluent:

"He never really discriminates against anyone, even if he is a minor person, he feels that he can make friends."

Vier frowned:

"Don't you have a temper of your own?"

Long Yuehong hesitated and said:

“With this scoring situation, you can’t be angry about everything.

"I'm trying to change, and if you don't like something the way you do it, just say so."

He paused and said with a self-deprecating smile:

"I've always been mediocre. Well, I'm only 1.75 meters tall. I'm below average among men in my ethnic group. I'm not smart enough, and my grades are only average.

"In the past, I always felt a little inferior. I felt that I couldn't compare to the people around me. Even luck was not on my side. I was often secretly sad and angry. But now, I have learned one thing. First, compare yourself with yourself. As long as I am stronger than I was yesterday, and that’s something to be happy and proud of.”

He still didn't know the attitude of the residents of Hongshiji towards genetic improvement, so he sensibly concealed the corresponding content.

After listening quietly, Vier was silent for a while and said:

"You are such a good person."

After saying that, he took a few steps sideways and climbed into the ventilation duct with the help of the window frame.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Long Yuehong was a little curious.

Viel stuck his head out of the ventilation duct and said with a smile:

"This world is very dangerous. There are many people who will harm you. I can't let others know where I rest."

Without waiting for Long Yuehong's response, he rubbed his docile yellow hair and said in a show-off manner:

“Ventilation ductwork is another world.

"When you use it to climb to different places and see the conditions in different rooms, you will find a lot of interesting things that you can't usually see..."

As he spoke, Viel frowned and made a face behind Long Yuehong.

Then, he got back into the ventilation duct and quickly moved away from the area.

Long Yuehong was startled. She turned around and found that Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a monkey mask, had come out at some point and was standing at the entrance of the public restroom.

"I thought about it for a moment, wasn't what he just described just 'peeping'?" Shang Jianyao seriously evaluated Vier's words before leaving.

Long Yuehong was startled:

"When did you come out?"

Shang Jianyao did not answer, but gave sincere suggestions:

"You can eat more with each meal."

"Why?" Long Yuehong asked blankly.

Shang Jianyao gave an explanation:

“That way you can get heavier every day and be stronger every day than you were yesterday.”

...How much did this guy hear? The corners of Long Yuehong's mouth moved slightly, speechless.

At this time, Shang Jianyao touched his belly and said calmly:

"I haven't finished pulling just yet, I'll continue."

Long Yuehong was stunned and amused at first, but then she understood what was going on.

"He sensed someone trespassing into the church from the outside, so he ended it in a hurry and came out to meet me and fight side by side?" Long Yuehong felt the warmth brought by the word "companion" at once.

After going to the toilet, the two returned to the room where the "old tune team" was located, and took turns keeping watch and sleeping.

…………

In the southeastern area of ​​​​the city's ruins, there is a top of a tall building near the edge.

Electric wires have been pulled here, maintenance has been done, there are lights and elevators, and it is one of the "watchtowers" carefully built by Han Wanghuo after he took office as the Sheriff.

Scheele is a Red River native, with short, golden-brown hair.

He is young, only in his twenties, but he has experienced many battles and is not a fledgling who has never seen anything in the world.

At this time, he was carrying an automatic rifle and a telescope with night vision function, observing the long-abandoned fields outside the city and the hills beyond.

Although only the west side of Hongshi Ji is close to the lake and is most vulnerable to fish-men attacks. The first line of defense is located there, but Han Wanghuo did not ignore other areas:

To the north of the Vigilance Church, there is another line of defense against mountain monsters in the mountains, and on the edge of other areas of the city ruins, there is a "watchtower" to guard against accidents - Lake Nu is very large, and with the characteristics of the fishmen , it is completely possible to land from other places and attack in a detour.

While observing, Scheler turned his head and glanced at his two companions not far away.

They are all members of the town guard. One is a Gray Whisperer named Tan Tianen, and the other is a mixed race named Gaudi. At the moment, they are all holding telescopes with night vision functions to guard different directions.

This was an intentional arrangement by Sheriff Han Wanghuo. He evenly assigned the Gray Whisperers, Red River people, and mixed-race people to each team. First, he hoped that they could develop friendship and trust in the process of fighting against foreign enemies together. Second, let them They supervise each other and don't let anyone take the opportunity to do bad things.

Gaudí, who had a high nose and deep eyes, black hair and brown eyes, saw Scheler looking at him and started the topic with a smile:

"The relic hunter team I introduced to the town before is quite capable. It seems that they have figured out what happened when Herwig's arms were robbed."

He spoke Honghe dialect.

Scheler frowned and said:

"That's just Buzz's accusation."

Because Warner Song He did not prohibit the church guards from spreading Baz's identification, the members of the town guard were organized again and no longer hid separately. Therefore, in the evening, many of them heard about the arms robbery. the truth.

Tan Tianen, who was silently listening to their conversation, looked into the distance and interjected:

"Don't you still know what kind of people Herwig and Ankhbas are?"

He deliberately used the native dialect and didn't care whether Scheler could understand it.

The mixed-race Gaudi sighed, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, Scheler's voice suddenly became louder:

"There's a situation!"

Gaudi and Tan Tianen forgot about the topic just now, holding night vision binoculars and looking at the area monitored by Scheler.

At the junction of hills and farmland, under the dim moonlight, a group of people came out in the dark and approached the city.

Some of them were in cars, some were pushing cars, and some were walking. There seemed to be a lot of them.

The moonlight became a little brighter again, and Scheler saw the specific situation clearly:

Some of those humanoid creatures are covered with gray-black scales and have bulging eyes, like fish that have grown legs and come ashore. Some have bluish skin and are surrounded by animal skins.

They were carrying submachine guns, assault rifles and other weapons, or carrying gun barrels, brackets, ammunition and other things on their backs, pushing artillery carts, or sitting in armored vehicles, like a group of ghosts emerging from the deep night.

Fishman! Mountain monster!

"Notify Captain Han!" Gaudi blurted out after seeing this scene.

Scheele and Tan Tianen remained silent and did not answer him.

There is only one of their teams in this area, and once an alert is given, the enemy can immediately locate their location.

After a few seconds, Scheele and Tan Tianen responded at the same time:

"good!"

After they looked at each other, they watched Gaudi take out the military siren ordered from "United Industries".

Woo!

Woo!

Woo!

A sharp, piercing sound rang out from the top of the building, spinning and spreading in all directions.

The fish-men and mountain monsters sneaking in the night stopped at the same time and looked here.

They quickly separated a group of people, either pushing the artillery truck forward, or setting up light mortars.

After sounding the alarm, Gaudí, Scheele and Tan Tianen began to evacuate the roof.

Boom! Boom!

The cannons spit out red light.

…………

The three sleeping members of the "Old Tune Group" were instantly awakened by the sharp sounds of "Woo" and "Woo".

Bai Chen, who was on duty at night, said calmly:

"It's coming from the southeast, it should be an enemy attack."

"Are the fishmen and mountain monsters attacking?" Jiang Baimian straightened out his clothes thoughtfully.

In such an environment, they all sleep with their clothes on.

Bai Chen didn't dare to give a definite answer:

"It should be that they chose to bypass the defense line."

"Team leader, what should we do? Stay in the church, or go back to the hotel camp?" Although Long Yuehong experienced a large-scale battle for the first time, the chaos in Weedao City gave him enough baptism.

Before Jiang Baimian could answer, Shang Jianyao had already made a serious suggestion:

“Didn’t you say that you would ‘sell’ half of the arms and accumulated supplies to the town guard?

"Now is the time."

ah? Long Yuehong was a little surprised.

Jiang Baimian then looked at Shang Jianyao and stared at him for more than ten seconds.

In the wordless silence, Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze, smiled and said:

“Now that you’ve said it, let’s do it.

"First ask Warner Song to find out where to find Han Wanghuo and the town guards."

As soon as she finished speaking, continuous gunfire came from the same direction.

Boom! Boom!
