No matter what level of power the opponent was, the opponent must have learned from the lesson with Xiaoyou last time by changing his fighting style. He must have avoided self-destruction due to the extreme eruption of his fleshly body.
But Luo Nan always felt that it was not that simple. After all, consumption was consumption, no matter what kind of consumption it was. It was all paid out by this fleshly body. True ability users were able to obtain a longer standby time due to the coordination of body and soul. The mind and fleshly body interfered with each other. There was a rhythm to mediate between the rise and fall.
This was the natural weakness of the clone body, but the opponent must have used some sort of method to make up for it. Luo Nan felt that it was extremely odd from the beginning.
On the surface, it was a motorcycle gang. But behind the motorcycle gang, an incorporeal net had long since spread open. A turbid curtain of darkness was propped up, and the thing that formed the curtain of darkness …... seemed to be drawing closer!
Luo Nan didn't have much time to observe. Cat Eyes grabbed him and walked up the ramp. Si Guosheng was in front and Gaud was behind, providing cover. Behind them, the motorcycle gang and He Yueyin's battle had already smashed the upper and lower passageways full of holes.
The electrical circuits and lighting equipment were the first to suffer. Under the powerful impact of the furnace style heat, the degree of destruction was more thorough than at the Tonghui Building. Soon, this cargo passageway could only be illuminated by the Deep Blue Walker's body and the bursting flames of the battle.
The battlefield where the two experts fought was not limited to the cargo passageway. He Yueyin's Deep Blue Walker's Arclight Blade burst out as Luo Nan's group ran wildly toward the parking apron. It forced the motorcycle gang to break through the outer wall and into the office area on the right side of the cargo passageway. And a short second later, the roaring heatwave tore apart another wall. It practically scraped Gaud's helmet, collapsing the back of the passageway into ruins.
Fortunately, today was the weekend. It was late, and there were few people in the building. No one suffered for the time being. But if this were to continue, it would only be a matter of time before the entire building was destroyed, considering the aftermath of the battle between Tian Bang and Mo Lun a few days ago.
"Why do I always encounter this kind of freak who demolishes everything with his bare hands when I'm with you?" Cat Eyes's breathing became a bit hurried. The temperature within the passageway kept rising. The consumption of physical strength was secondary. What was worse was the chaotic aura that shuttled back and forth. It constantly stimulated and interfered with her. It was extremely troublesome for an ability user like her who specialized in mental senses.
Luo Nan kept his head down and didn't say anything. He just sprinted with one foot high and one foot low.
Just when Cat Eyes thought that her complaints would not be heard again, a voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Did you see that?"
"Ah?"
"They're all here, and they're very fast. They must have used some sort of concealment method just now."
"Hey, speak clearly!"
Luo Nan turned his head to look at her. He was finally able to get a bit out of his own logic: "I'm saying, 70 meters away, inside the ventilation duct. Yes, the one on the left. "
Seventy meters just so happened to be within the range of Cat Eyes' mental senses. She focused her attention and quickly discovered her target.
"… Rat!"
Not only were they rats, but they were also identical to the "nest-born" rats in the Tonghui Building's underground tunnel. The largest one was no bigger than two or three knuckles. Its entire body was gray and it had sharp teeth and claws. At this time, there were seven or eight rats like this in the ventilation duct. They were moving quickly in the duct like a gray stream.
Also, these gray rats did not only appear in the left ventilation duct. Under Luo Nan's reminder, Cat Eyes discovered that several hundred similar rats had already been stuffed into the surroundings of the cargo corridor they were in at some unknown time within the range of her mental senses. They appeared in various areas of the cargo corridor up, down, left, and right.
Most importantly, there was still an unending stream of rats pouring in, indicating that there were many, many more in the periphery.
"Has this place already … … been installed with a nest?"
"Maybe. Maybe it's more than that. It's still that ventilation duct. Look further ahead. "
At this time, Cat Eyes's long-range sensing ability came into play. She took advantage of the situation to reduce the range of her all-encompassing senses. She extended the length of her soul strength 'probing feelers'. Under Luo Nan's guidance, she extended it all the way to two hundred meters, all the way to the entrance of the same floor as the ventilation duct.
Along the way, she saw at least four or five bloodstains and meat paste smeared within the duct. From the scope and details of the contamination in these few locations, she could tell that there were at least three to five rats in each location. Their bodies had exploded and flesh and blood splattered everywhere.
"What does this mean?"
Just as Cat Eyes was observing from afar, another explosion rang out from within the cargo passageway. He Yueyin and the biker gang carried out another wave of collision. A terrifying energy jet destroyed the structure of the passageway within a radius of twenty meters, causing a small-scale collapse. The flying rubble smashed against the Gaud exoskeleton armor at the back, producing banging sounds.
Luo Nan requested Cat Eyes to pay attention: "Look over there. Look at these rats."
There was no need for Luo Nan's reminder right now. Cat Eyes could see at least twenty rats within the range of her senses. They instantly exploded in every direction, flesh and blood splattering everywhere. But soon, several times the number of rats came in from various passageways to replenish their numbers.
"Consumables … …"
"And they're scapegoats. The connection between the clone body and the rats is quite tight! "
The range and depth of Luo Nan's senses surpassed Cat Eyes by quite a bit. Earlier, his senses had been disrupted by the opponent using some sort of method, causing him to lose his sensitivity. But now that the two sides were in direct confrontation, the disruptive Dark Screen had lost its effectiveness. He quickly captured the internal connections between the numerous matters from beginning to end.
From his perspective, the wave upon wave of the rat tide was the most crucial key to victory and defeat in this entire battle. Between them and the motorcycle gang, there were thousands of incorporeal passageways constructed from soul strength that interweaved into a net. They formed the disruptive Dark Screen from before, and they also formed the buffer net for the transfer of energy.
The reason why there was such a huge difference between the two ability users' clones, the motorcycle gang's and Xiaoyou's, lay in the fact that the former's pure energy circulation method was more beneficial to the transfer of powerful energy. It was more beneficial to the consumption and damage that occurred when the powerful energy erupted.
The price actually existed at all times. It was just that the rats on the periphery became the scapegoats. From this point of view, as long as the rats didn't die out completely, the motorcycle gang's ability to continue fighting wouldn't be a problem.
"I need to eliminate all of these rats!" Luo Nan was unable to think of any exquisite ideas in a short amount of time. He could only think in a straightforward manner.
Cat Eyes could more or less understand Luo Nan's way of thinking, but she felt that it was quite funny to think about these things when they were fleeing with great difficulty. "Don't make the problem childish okay …. Mr. Deep Blue Walkers who are armed to the teeth, how do you two estimate it? How do you deal with over a thousand rats within a radius of two hundred, no, five hundred meters in a few dozen seconds?"
Thanks to the mental and material image conversion function of the Psychic Wave Network, Gaud and Si Guosheng were able to receive a portion of the perceptual scene shared by Luo Nan and Cat Eyes. They weren't completely baffled.
Right now, the two veteran Burners could see thousands of gray rat silhouettes piled up like a great tide. They followed the road network and pipelines that extended in all directions of the building. They pushed forward layer by layer. Perhaps a few dozen of their own kind had exploded into a bloody paste just a moment ago, but the ones behind them stepped over the broken limbs and flesh of their own kind to continue forward.
But it was also this group of rats. Practically not a single one of them would enter within a fifty meter radius. They constantly dashed and shifted, feverishly sacrificing themselves while knowing to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It was as if there was an awe-inspiring and orderly collective consciousness that led their overall actions.
The more comprehensive the perceptual scene, the more one could feel the terrifying power within.
Gaud answered with a hoarse voice, "Old Si and I have an effective attack radius of thirty meters. Our limit is fifty meters. We can't reach them at all …. And the building is their natural cover. They are separated by floors and walls. Unless it's a destructive attack against the building, it will be very difficult to pose a threat to them."
In other words, it would be very difficult for the two of them to display their greatest combat strength when facing the rat tide. Looking at the coincidental division of the range, these were certainly within the scope of their opponent's considerations.
Cat Eyes gave Luo Nan a sidelong glance. Her meaning was: Do you understand?
Luo Nan cast his gaze over. His pupils sparkled within the darkness. "Then, there are only two people left who can pose a threat to these rats."
"......"
Yes, two people who possessed the mental side of long-range perception. Cat Eyes and Luo Nan himself.
"You can have the radius of a hundred meters. Leave the periphery to me." Rather than saying this was a discussion, it was better to say that it was an order.
"My perceptual radius is only seventy meters."
"That's still within a hundred meters."
"My Destructive Interference just barely passed."
"It's enough to deal with rats. I don't need to be like a sniper who kills with one shot."
The more lenient Luo Nan's response was, the more Cat Eyes found it unbearable.
Actually, the two of them were quite clear in their minds. Cat Eyes's perceptual radius was not just seventy meters. Her Destructive Interference was not to the extent that it could not even put down rats. However, Cat Eyes instinctively displayed a lack of confidence when faced with the hundreds and thousands of rat tide, the illusory Pressure Transfer Network, and Luo Nan himself.
She was a pessimist to begin with.
However, Luo Nan had already entered the circle of his own logic. All of her psychological changes were not included in the scope of his consideration. It was normal for young people to measure others by their own standards.
Cat Eyes knew the problem with Luo Nan's way of thinking. But the more she understood, the more she felt the pain of being completely crushed. Needless to say, this was just a meaningless stab and confirmation … … Essentially speaking, as a believer, she had to keep up with the rhythm of a god. She had to follow the orders of a god. Everything else was meaningless.
Cat Eyes's teeth streaked across her lower lip, leaving behind a faint white mark. She purposely revealed a smile.
"Selling my life. I admit it!"
In the next second, a rat's head exploded in the ventilation duct that Luo Nan had led her to earlier. The rat fell to the ground and twitched. At nearly the same time, the rat beside it exploded into a mist of blood.
It was the same death, but the method of death was different. The difference was not big, but it was not small either. But in the end, a certain amount of accumulation was needed to manifest itself.
Cat Eyes shot a cold glance at Luo Nan. Though she did not say anything, her meaning was clear.
