Gate of Apocalypse

Night, island, resort.

Xia Xiaolei twisted the handle and gently pushed open a door.

There is a stack of cardboard boxes in one corner of the room, neat and tidy. At the center of the room is a table, empty, with only one sea bowl.

A core extending from the sea bowl is burning, emitting a faint light.

Xia Xiaolei reached out from an open carton and pulled out two candles, walked to the table, pulled out a lighter from his arms and lit those two candles.

Then he put the candles together in a bowl off the coast and tilted them at an angle. The flame licked the candle body and the candle quickly began to melt from the top, dropping drop by drop into the sea bowl.

There was only a small half bowl of wax left in the sea bowl, and when both candles melted, the sea bowl was almost full.

Xia Xiaolei melted out two candles, clapped his hands and walked towards the door of the room satisfactorily.

But he just turned around and suddenly felt something was wrong and frowned and looked at the corner.

The room was quiet, a bean-like light illuminated only a small area around the table. The rest of the corner is dark.

Xia Xiaolei's figure was cast on the wall by fire and swayed indefinitely.

“Is there someone inside? ”

Xia Xiaolei stood still and took a deep breath, shouting out loud.

The room is still quiet with no response.

But Xia Xiaolei's heart, that unusual feeling never disappeared.

It's like… you're being watched by someone.

“Who the hell is here! Don't... don't fuck with me!” Xia Xiao Leiqiang smiled and looked around the corner of the house: “Flagwood West? Brother Tire? Spare tires? ”

Xia Xiaolei swallowed a sip of water and her face grew pale.

Still unresponsive, he found a hidden shadow at the corner of the room.

The shadow was faint, and only by trying to concentrate could you see a thin outline that was creeping slightly.

“Regiment… Captain? You're back? Roddy?” Xia Xiaolei couldn't help beating his teeth up and down: “Joe... Sister Joe? It can't be you... ”

Xia Xiaolei has already reported the names of all the members of the team, but the shadow still hasn't moved a bit.

Hard on his scalp, Xia Xiaolei tried to take a step forward, but immediately shrunk back, step back.

Returning to the door of the room, Xia Xiaolei's eyes still stared at the shadows in the corner of the room. His right hand held a hand against the wall behind him, and a sweat bead had seeped out of his forehead.

“Where's the switch? Where's the switch? ”

The more impatient Xia Xiaolei was, the less she could touch the switch behind her. And his eyes kept staring at the shadow in front of him, and he didn't dare look back. He was in a hurry to cry.

Just as Xia Xiaolei was about to collapse, her fingertips finally touched the switch.

Xia Xiaolei was finally relieved when the lights lit up in the room.

Under the illumination of the lights, the shadow, though still illusory, has become slightly clearer than it was just a moment ago.

Despite the light, the shadow stayed in place and did not even change its posture, as if the illuminated light had not affected it in any way.

After the room lit up, Xia Xiaolei also had a lot of nerve. He stared at the shadow for half a day and gradually distinguished its appearance.

Rather than being a shadow, that group of things is more like a mosaic. Through it, you can still see the scenery behind you, but it is covered in obscurity.

Seeing that the group of humanoid mosaics has still not moved much, as if there was no reaction to their existence, Xia Xiaolei estimated that it should not be very aggressive and bold to walk past it step by step.

After approaching, Xia Xiaolei knelt down and looked closely at the mosaics in front of him. It's roughly the shape of a bunch of people, but it's not tall, it's a little shorter than Xia Xiaolei.

At this moment, it looks like it's sitting, but it's not sitting on a carton next to it, it's sitting on the floor with its hands around its knees.

Its body is only half exposed, and a small part overlaps with the carton, as if it were unobstructed.

Xia Xiaolei reached out curiously and carefully tried to touch the mosaic. But I couldn't feel anything when I saw my fingertips hit the edge of Mosaic.

Xia Xiaolei boldly continued to reach forward. Until his hands crossed the Mosaic, he ran into the carton behind him, and he didn't feel the slightest obstruction.

And that mosaic, still sitting on the ground like Xia Xiaolei didn't exist for it at all.

this... what the hell is this thing!

Xia Xiaolei became curious after confirming that there was no threat.

Since becoming an awakener, Xia Xiaolei, although not involved in many copies, can only be considered a new person, but at least knows the basic common sense among some awakeners.

In the copy, of course, any kind of thing can happen, any monster can appear, even include the presence of some spirit or something, but Xia Xiaolei has never seen such a supernatural thing outside the copy until now.

Think about it, Xia Xiaolei opened the team channel and sent a message to both the tires and spare tires.

……

Sebastian tapped his wings gently, but at a very different pace than the beat, he was sickened at high altitude.

His face had no expression, but his eyes were full of fierceness.

That's bad teeth! One of the world's finest S-level Powerhouses!

Having obtained his blood and refinement, Sebastian felt his body was filled with strength, and if it had not been for such a full-speed flight to vent, the boiling blood would have almost immediately burst out of his chest.

Although it has not yet been fought, Sebastian is almost certain that his strength must have broken through the original A level, even A +, to the S level.

Perhaps… if I had a chance…

A figure began to appear in Sebasta's mind.

One, standing at the top of the entire world.

A black dot emerged in the distant sky just as Sebasta was about to scream out loud almost because of this excitement.

A woman stepping on a skateboard flying in the air.

The woman also saw Sebasta, the skateboard twisted, reoriented and flew towards Sebasta.

Sebasta slapped the wings behind her two times backwards, hovering in the air, watching the woman fly closer.

“Mr. Sebasta?! It's so good to see you here!” The woman flew to Sebasta, stepped on the skateboard and bowed, expressing her respect.

“Your name is…?” Sebasta took off her sunglasses and weighed the woman up and down, revealing a brilliant smile.

“My name is Gianna. You may not remember me, but I have seen you far away once before the three refresh cycles.” The woman raised her head and smiled at Sebastian.

“Tsk...” Sebasta looked at the scar on Gianna's face, slightly sighed and shook her head: “What a pity. ”

Gianna lowered her head and a little anger passed on her face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sebasta, it's so rude for you to see my face. ”

“It's okay, it's okay!” Sebasta Haha laughed and put the sunglasses back on: “At least your figure is the best I've ever seen at the end of the world. ”

“Thank you.” Gianna smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth.

She has always been very satisfied with her figure.

“Now that you've finished cleaning up the last copy, do you want to go back to the palace report?” Sebasta looked at Gianna's original direction of flight.

“No.” Gianna shook her head: “Our cleanup is not complete, I wanted to go back to the palace for backup. You know, we don't all have communication gear, I'm the only one running legs...”

“Support?” Sebasta smiled stunnedly: "Who are you with? Can't we deal with awakeners without abilities and memories? ”

“No, that's not it...” Gianna's expression was a little awkward: “Me and the Steel Break group just arrived at that copy and haven't started the attack. There… there is a small town that brings together many awakeners, perhaps more than a hundred. Neither of us have the mass offensive equipment and skills, nor the capacity to confine ourselves. If it's just the two of us cleaning up, if they get away with a few more, we'll be in trouble. ”

“A hundred people? It's really hard for you.” Sebasta nodded: "But the task of cleaning up is so tight now, do you think there will be so much support in the palace? ”

Gianna bit her teeth: “Whether it works or not, I have to report this to Lord Thunderfox. Even if he doesn't support us and let us attack directly, what happens is not our responsibility. ”

“I just got out of the palace, cleaned up a copy, and now I have nothing. Why don't... let me come with you.” Sebasta laughed.

“Really?!” Gianna's eyes shone brightly: "With your help, that must be...”

……

“Well, Dodo. ”

Aunt Yun glanced at the two bodies on the ground and looked back at Chen Xiaoliang and turned to the little boy behind her.

The lights on the overhead flashed for a moment, gradually dimming and disappearing into the invisible.

In Chen Xiaolian's heart, this moment is like a terrible wave.

The lamp above his head is clearly the one he left at the resort!

In the painting, following Mr. Umbrella's instructions, he removed the core, and when he returned to the base, he lit the core, as Mr. Umbrella ordered, and told Xia Xiaolei to add wax oil to the light every day, no matter what happened.

And Chen Xiaoliang remembered very clearly, he just casually found a sea bowl to make a container of wax oil.

The light that just appeared on the top of many heads, the pattern on the bottom bowl is exactly the same as the sea bowl found by Chen Xiaoliang!

But... why does it show up here?!

The loophole named Terry is not very strong, but the strength of a heavy hammer cannot be easily diminished. Each time the blades swing, they tear the surrounding air, forming a sharp and unparalleled vacuum wave, besides Aunt Cloud, covering as many of them as possible behind her.

The vacuum wave can be easily cut, even if it simply rubs the surrounding trees. Fighting for a moment has caused the trees in this forest to fall seven, seven, eight, eight. But more than that, he held his knees safely and securely, sat on the floor and watched the series of fights with a calm eye, as if none of this had anything to do with him.

Vacuum waves sufficient to break the gold fracture stone, even if more bodies have been swept, are as if they have just hit a phantom, with no half-point effect.

Chen Xiaocai even saw several times, the bone blade crossed more than one body directly, but he still had no reaction.

Until the lamp gradually disappeared into the invisible, hidden in the void above more than one head, Aunt Cloud walked over and stood with more hands.

“You, their captors?” Aunt Yun turned her head and looked at Chen Xiaolei.

“Kind of... right. ”

Chen Xiaoliang looked down at the two bodies on the ground and smiled bitterly.

The man named Heavy Hammer is strong enough. Aunt Yun, however, seemed to have never used her full strength from the beginning and killed him in a trivial manner.

Chen Xiaoliang naturally doesn't care about the dead and alive of Heavy Hammer. But the question now is… without a heavy hammer, how can he get to the heart of the Covenant, the “palace” in their mouth?

The end of the world is too big, and the number of loopholes is too small relative to the vast area. He and the Blue Sea drove around on the Eater fighter jet for hours before finally meeting them.

It is also too difficult to meet two more vulnerabilities who are on a clean-up mission.

The plan was executed smoothly, but now it is ruined by this woman called Aunt Yun...

“Kind of?” Aunt Yun glanced at Chen Xiaocai: “Forget it, I don't want to get involved in your business either. Now that you are not one of them, you are free. ”

After that, she walked in front of Chen Xiaocai, stretched out a fiber jade finger and gently lightened the handcuffs between Chen Xiaocai and Blue Sea.

The dark sun did not see the handcuffs of the material, and Chen Xiaolian was put on and tested slightly. Although his physical strength has recovered somewhat over time, he is still completely incapable of struggling. But the sturdy handcuffs under Aunt Cloud's fingers, like sand, instantly broke apart.

“Let's go.” Aunt Yun turned her back and walked more toward her, taking her hand and leaving.

“Wait!”

Hearing Chen Xiaocai's voice, Aunt Yun stopped and turned to look at Chen Xiaocai with an interrogating look, but did not say anything.

“What happened to that lamp? ”

Chen Xiaoliang pointed to Dodo.

Aunt Yun glanced at how much she was holding, looked at Chen Xiaolian again, and her expression remained indifferent: “This has nothing to do with you. ”

After speaking, she was about to leave, but stopped because of Chen Xiaoliang's next sentence. Turning her head, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

“This lamp is mine. ”
