[Originally, I was very ambitious and wanted to update earlier each day, but I didn't expect that I would deviate from the target timeline today. I only released the anti-theft stamp at 11 o 'clock … But the good news is that even though I've been stuttering for a long time, I'm almost done with the main text! I will release it before 12 o'clock! Today is the Qingming Festival holiday. What have you guys been doing? "
What's the matter with the tremors? " A sweaty man in a singlet asked in confusion. "Since just now … it has been shaking like an earthquake, and the ground is rumbling …"
"Yeah, and the tremors come and go. That's weird …" The man sitting opposite him muttered and changed the topic. "It's so boring to sit here and watch the door every day. I wonder when I can go out and patrol."
One of the men sitting at the entrance of the oasis immediately laughed. "You just want to go out and look for cigarettes, right? I didn't know that you — "
Before he could finish his sentence, a man who seemed to be the leader of the group stopped him. "Someone is coming. Be on guard!"
A few of the guards stood up and looked into the distance.
The lights of the oasis cast a fan-shaped halo at the entrance. The night sky was getting closer and closer, showing the color of the night sky changing from dark to light. In this ink-like color, there were indeed a few figures running near. The one in front was a woman with long hair. Her body was covered in pus and blood, and she looked like a mess. She was carrying a little girl on her back. It was Xiao Hui.
Xu Xiaoyang straightened his body on her back and waved at the door from afar.
"It's the team that went out earlier. Let's confirm how many people there are!" The leader shouted. "Yes.
"Yes, it's confirmed. Just three. This team has three slots!"
Seeing that Xiao Hui and Septimus were getting closer, the leader waved his hand and said, "Okay, open the door!"
Just as Xiao Hui arrived, the metal door was slowly pulled open. Xu Xiaoyang had not touched anything along the way, so he was still very clean. He shouted at the people at the door anxiously, "Hurry up and inform the officers to come over! There might be a large number of duoluozhongs coming from the direction of Longhua Road! "
When the gatekeepers heard this, they were all stunned and turned to look at the leader. The leader hesitated for a few seconds. Before he could open his mouth to speak, he suddenly felt a gust of fine sand blowing on his face. He immediately looked up.
They did not know when, but a thick cloud of yellow sand had rolled up in the distance. It was like a small tornado, blowing towards the entrance of the oasis. They were still so far away, but in just a few seconds, the strong wind carrying the sand had already rushed towards them, hitting their skin so hard that they could not even open their eyes.
In the blink of an eye, the yellow sand storm was already in front of them. Xu Xiaoyang and the others had already noticed that something was wrong. They all rushed into the gate, but their speed was not as fast as the storm. As soon as they stepped into the gate, the strong wind blew everyone away. Just as they crouched on the ground and saw that the sandstorm was about to destroy the door, the sandstorm seemed to have a mind of its own and actually stopped in front of the iron door.
The whistling wind and sand hit the iron gate. Everyone, including the gatekeeper, stared blankly at the huge sandstorm that seemed to have a life of its own.
Gradually, the yellow sand seemed to lose its support and slowly fell from the sky, revealing two figures in the middle of the sand.
When they saw who it was, Xu Xiaoyang and the other two gasped and exclaimed, "… They're still alive?"
The two people who walked out of the sandstorm were Lin Sanjiu and Hu Changzai.
The corner of Septimus's eyes twitched. Among the three of them, he knew Lin Sanjiu's ability the best. In the past, he looked down on her ability the most. He felt that Lin Sanjiu was able to survive until today because of her well-developed limbs and "keen intuition". Hence, when the two of them were surrounded by duoluozhongs, Septimus was certain that Lin Sanjiu would not come back.
"But what's with her ability to control the sandstorm? Did she develop a new ability? "
"Pfft! Pfft, pfft, pfft! "
Just when everyone was looking at them in bewilderment, Lin Sanjiu suddenly jumped up like a wet cat. She kept spitting and wiping her face, "Hu Changzai, what kind of stupid idea is this? My eyes, mouth, and ears are full of sand!"
"When I saw it in the movies, the energy shockwave couldn't carry so much sand …" Hu Changzai wasn't any better. Even his glasses were buried in the sand.
Even though Iron Man could fly, the Pygmalion Choker could only create one illusion at a time. Hence, to kill a large number of duoluozhongs while they were on their way, they had to use the energy shockwave to stir the air and create an airflow that propelled them forward. However, they didn't expect that the side effect of the airflow would be so severe …
"Nonsense! Is it five minutes … Huh? Captain, Septimus? " Lin Sanjiu raised her head, "Why are you guys here? Wait, isn't this the oasis? Have we returned to the oasis?"
The group of people at the gate stared at them, speechless. After a while, Xu Xiaoyang said, "You … What's going on? How did you survive? "
Lin Sanjiu, who looked like a terracotta warrior, chuckled when she heard Septimus's question, "I was a little heavy-handed. I destroyed a lot of buildings between the oasis and Longhua Road … You don't have to worry about the duoluozhongs. They are either dead or have escaped. There aren't many of them left."
As soon as she finished speaking, a building in the distance rumbled and collapsed.
Everyone at the gate was dumbfounded.
Septimus was the first to react. He glared at Lin Sanjiu, "Next time, before you do something like this, you should inform us first!" As he said that, he let out a sigh of relief. Xu Xiaoyang and Grey couldn't help glaring at him.
Lin Sanjiu continued chuckling as she pulled Hu Changzai towards the gate.
"Captain, the number of survivors in this team has exceeded the quota … What should we do?" One of the men guarding the gate immediately became nervous. He whispered to the leader, "They are coming in soon. Should we stop them?"
"Stop them my ass! Turn around and look!" the leader scolded as if he was exasperated.
The man turned around and saw that a group of people had gathered in the open space of the factory district. They were pointing and craning their necks to look in their direction. Xu Xiaoyang's warning was loud enough, and then there was the terrifying sandstorm. Even though Lin Sanjiu had stopped the sandstorm, the sand that fell from the sky had already dyed the building in front of the entrance a yellowish-brown color.
"Besides … Are you confident that you can defeat that woman? Hurry up and find us a cadre! "the leader shouted. "This kind of responsibility cannot be shouldered by us."
The man suddenly understood, "Oh, oh, I'll go now —"
Xu Xiaoyang and the others heard their conversation. Xu Xiaoyang turned around and rolled his eyes at them. He called out angrily, "Uncle Chen!"
Everyone turned their heads at the same time and saw Chen Jinfeng standing behind them with a gloomy face.
