After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

Chapter 14: If time can go back

The members of the bureau divided into several teams and came to the emergency entrances in various areas in an orderly manner.

Although the atmosphere in the control room is still tense, it has restored the previous orderliness.

At the same time, with the rush repair of relevant technical personnel, some of the functions in the simulated actual combat system were finally restored.

Although most of the large screen on the side is still dark, some areas are already lit up.

Although it is still impossible to locate the specific location of each student, it is now possible to see how many students are left in each area, which at least eliminates the need for a carpet search.

"Five-two people in the glacier area, 48 people in the rain forest area, nine people in the desert area, forest area..."

The staff member lowered their heads to read the list, and suddenly paused: "Two people in the scorched earth area."

"Scorched earth area?" the person in charge asked.

It's the area where the crack in the abyss is said to be...?

The staff's expression also became ugly, and he whispered: "Yes."

Although he didn't know anything about combat, he still knew clearly...these two students might be ill-advised.

The person in charge took a deep breath, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, his face tired and old.

He said: "Go, I'll talk to Chief Mu about the scorched earth area."

After telling the action plan, the person in charge walked towards Mu Heng who was not far away.

Mu Heng turned his head and looked over, raising his eyebrows questioningly.

Person in charge: "Sir... something very unfortunate."

He took a deep breath: "I just learned that two freshmen were also trapped in the scorched earth area."

The person in charge hesitated and said, "Do you think they still have the possibility of surviving?"

Mu Heng paused: "Perhaps."

"...Anyway, thank you." The person in charge sighed and handed over a watch: "You hold this, although the GPS in the map has lost its function, but if a student enters your radius If it's within meters, it will tell you."

Mu Heng nodded, took the watch and put it in his pocket:

"I try my best."

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked: "What are the names of the two students trapped in the scorched earth area?"

The person in charge was taken aback, as if he didn't expect the other party to ask this question.

He replied: "This... we don't know yet. The system has not fully recovered. We can only know the number of students trapped in each area, and we don't know who is trapped."

Person in charge: "Which student are you looking for?"

Mu Heng retracted his gaze: "No, just ask casually."

Lin Yanming kept peeking at Shi'an, who was walking in front of him.

In the darkness, the pale side of the young man looked vague and distant, and he could only vaguely see the clear and sharp outline of the lower jaw, which looked familiar and unfamiliar.

Even though he had walked a long distance, the burnt smell still lingered on the end of his nose.

Lin Yanming blinked.

The retina seemed to still have the sequelae caused by the fire, and the black spots left by the hot spots were looming in front of my eyes.

He took a deep breath, did enough to build his heart, and finally said:

"Shi'an..."

Shi An turned his head and let out a heartless "Huh?"

The expression on his face is too natural, it seems that the terrible fire has nothing to do with him.

"The one just now... your magic, that fire..."

Lin Yanming racked his brains looking for adjectives.

"Oh! That!" Shi'an showed a dazed expression.

You get it!

You understand what I want to ask!

Lin Yanming lifted his spirits and looked at each other expectantly.

I saw the boy in front of me scratching his head in embarrassment and said:

"It's not that I didn't want to adopt your opinion just now, but I really can't just use this."

Lin Yanming: "..."

You understand a fart.

At the moment of distraction, Lin Yanming suddenly stepped into the air.

He was shocked, and after staggering a few steps, he barely stabilized his figure, so he didn't directly fall to the ground.

The spare light source illuminates a small piece of land in front of me.

The soil is a thick and deep pitch black, but it has no moisture at all, as if it has been scorched. Irregular and cracked patterns spread on the ground until it is swallowed by the darkness.

Wait a moment……

Lin Yanming froze.

He suddenly realized that it seemed that he hadn't encountered a tree or a rock for a long, long time. He didn't know when it started, and the surrounding area became empty, as if he were walking on a plain without any shelter.

Lin Yanming felt that his brain couldn't work like a rusty gear, making a futile rattle.

He raised his head dullly, illuminating the darkness in front of him with a spare light source, carefully distinguishing the path that was shrouded in darkness in front of him.

It is definitely not a rain forest area.

Not even a forest area.

Then there is only...

"Shi, Shi'an." Lin Yanming heard himself say in a trembling voice.

Shi An stopped when he heard the words, turned his head, and asked unconsciously: "What's the matter?"

"Are you... sure, do you know the way?"

Shi An: "Sure, what's the matter?"

"But, this, this, I don't think this is a forest area." Lin Yanming said blankly.

Unexpectedly, Shi An seemed unaware of his strangeness and nodded very naturally: "Yes."

Lin Yanming: "..."

?

? ?

? ? ? ? ?

Lin Yanming was stunned and could hardly believe his ears.

He turned his head stunned and stared at the boy next to him blankly.

He only listened to the other person’s innocent look, and naturally continued:

"This is the easternmost area. Don't worry, I am sure I didn't lead the wrong way!"

The far east is...

S-level dangerous area, scorched earth area.

"..."

Lin Yanming felt that he had lost the ability to think.

Shi An approached and shook his hand before his eyes: "What's the matter?"

--what's wrong? ! What do you say? !

Looking at the other's innocent expression, Lin Yanming felt that he was in urgent need of a professional cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

He doesn't even speak smoothly anymore:

"You...you...to the east! I said I went to the forest area to the east, no, not this—"

"Huh?" Shi An showed a dazed expression: "But I thought we were on the way?"

So you **** planned to come here from the beginning? !

——This way, you big-headed ghost!

Lin Yanming almost collapsed.

After a long silence.

"...Let's do it again," Lin Yanming said slowly and dumbly:

"The current situation is that I don't know what went wrong in the actual simulation. Now I can't contact the outside world at all, and I can't use the positioning function. So... I want to go to the emergency exit in the middle of the forest area. You, you understand now. Yet?"

Shi An blinked and whispered:

"Understood."

His voice was even smaller: "But, I don't know how to get to the forest area."

"..."

Lin Yanming felt that he was approaching the brink of collapse again.

Just listen to the other person continuing to say: "Speaking of which, is there an emergency exit in every district?"

Lin Yanming: "...should be in every district."

Shi An: "How about the emergency exit to this district?"

Lin Yanming was taken aback.

It's... not impossible?

He hesitated to look at the boy in front of him, wondering if he wanted to get on the other party's thief ship again.

When Shi An claimed to be lucky—they not only met the lion-headed beast, they were also robbed by other new students.

And the time he claimed to have a good sense of direction-they came to the most dangerous scorched earth area.

However, Lin Yanming changed his mind.

The other party claims to be very vegan, but in fact it is hidden deep-maybe there is something for him?

And most importantly, he seems to have no other choice now.

With the last glimmer of hope, Lin Yanming seemed to have made up his mind, raised his hand and wiped his face, and said as if he was dead:

"……alright."

Shi An squinted his eyes and laughed happily: "Okay."

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and continued: "Oh yes, you should enter the poisonous gas area if you go further, so you'd better wrap yourself up with magic power, otherwise you may not have gone out yet. Poisoned."

"..."

Lin Yanming fell into silence again.

Is it too late for me to regret now?

Inside the Authority’s laboratory.

Zhuo Fu lowered his head, carefully handling a small sample of monster tissue in front of him.

He already knew about the Ability Academy.

The location of the abyss crack is certainly a good thing, but inside the school also means that after the abyss spreads, it will cause a lot of collateral damage.

But these are not the issues that Zhuo Fu has to consider.

As the person in charge of the laboratory, what he needs to do is to figure out why the abyss cracks have appeared so frequently recently, and the power is much stronger than usual.

Although the spread of the gap in the academy is inseparable from the magical fluctuations in the academy, it cannot be denied that this is the first time that the abyss of the abyss has been able to develop to this level in hundreds of years.

This made Zhuo Fu a sense of crisis.

Suddenly, without warning, the high-precision magic monitor on the table rang steadily.

Zhuo Fu was taken aback and turned to look.

Surprisingly, in order to isolate outside interference, the laboratory should do strict protection and shielding. Why does the monitoring meter still react like this?

He reached out and picked up the monitoring watch, stood up, looking for the magic leak.

The hands on the watch swayed erratically, and finally reached a peak at a certain moment.

Zhuo Fu raised his head--

Behind the protective layer of the front glass, a long sword firmly wrapped in a cloth strip was quietly placed in the dark.

Some kind of invisible buzzing spread, as if it was whispering in some ancient, unknown language.

Zhuo Fu was dumbfounded: "..."

He almost dropped his chin in shock, and was stunned in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

Grass……

What Mu Heng said was actually true.

The main control room of the college.

"Didididi——" Wen Yao's cell phone rang.

When she answered the phone, Zhuo Fu's noisy voice immediately came from the other side of the microphone: "Where is your boss? I can't get through Mu Heng's call! You can get him back for me soon—"

Wen Yao silently moved the microphone away from her ear: "Are you in a hurry?"

"Nonsense!" Zhuo Fu said anxiously.

Wen Yao replied: "The sir has entered the quarantine area."

"..." The voice on the other end of the phone paused for half a second: "What?"

Wen Yao raised her head, looked at the emergency exit door that was closed just a few seconds ago, and said:

"Just when you called... a minute ago."

The scorched earth area has almost become a semi-alienated area, and poisonous gas escapes from the cracks in the abyss, continuously changing the surrounding environment.

Ominous darkness enveloped the ungrown ground, and there was a disturbing atmosphere everywhere.

As the space on the ground was alienated and transformed, more abyssal species crawled out.

Lin Yanming felt that he had never seen so many strange, ugly and terrifying monsters in his life.

At first, he was nervous and frightened.

Lin Yanming's muscles were tight, and his heart almost touched his throat.

The monsters attacked from all directions, so he had to stay vigilant at all times and be prepared for short-handed combat, but later, he found that he couldn't get in at all.

Every time a monster enters his line of sight, Shi'an blasts the fire.

Simple and rude, with amazing efficiency.

The blazing flames reflected Lin Yanming's cheeks from time to time, and his expression changed from the shock and shock at the beginning to the calm and numbness now.

After walking together for so long, he now believes that Shi An is not humble.

——The other party really only knows this spell.

but……

It's **** enough.

Lin Yanming thought vaguely.

Not far away, a black lizard crawled out of the cracks in the scorched earth, but it just appeared, and a fireball rushed towards him. After the violent crackling, only a pile of ashes remained.

The boy's eyes fluttered back from the ashes, his pale face was bleak, as if he was just crushing an ant to death.

Under the long and dense eyelashes, the golden red light flashed quickly.

The devil shrank in Shi'an's sleeve, watching the unilateral ruthless crush shiveringly.

Compared to massacre, the term "cleaning" seems to be more appropriate.

This is the first time that it clearly realizes how small and indifferent other monsters are to fantasy species—they are far from being a threat, but a kind of filthy kind that affects the mood. And other creatures.

The devil couldn't help shivering.

It only now understood how lucky it was to survive in Shi'an's hands.

but……

The monster suddenly remembered that in the simulation test before entering the school last time, Shi'an had only burned three monsters, and he had already made a very significant change, but why did he burn to death in the semi-alienated abyss area? After the unclear monster, he hasn't changed much until now?

It cautiously asked:

"That... Lord Demon Dragon."

Shi An: "Huh?"

"How are you feeling now?"

Shi An lowered his head, twisted his fingertips, suppressing the excitement of his voice: "Superb."

It's really good.

Every time a monster is burned, he feels his own power increases a little, like a river that flows into the already dry sea bit by bit-as if he is using flames to absorb the energy in the body of the plundered monster to help him restore the original appearance.

The devil dared not speak.

I don't know if it is an illusion, it feels... When Shi'an answered her own question, there was an unignorable enthusiasm and joy in her voice, as if she had fallen into a certain state of drifting.

It's like drinking hi.

Or it's crazy.

They trudged on the pitch-black plain.

A weird crimson light in the distance, the color is very deep, almost blending with the darkness behind it, a winding slender strip, like a wound on the ground, terrifying, and flowing outwards. Foul-smelling mucus.

Lin Yanming was shocked.

He stopped subconsciously and swallowed hard: "Then, what is that?"

Shi An looked at that direction steadily, as if in a trance.

His eyes drooped slightly, and the pupils under his eyelashes had completely turned into a warm red gold, as if molten gold was entangled with flames, with a narrow vertical pupil in the center, showing an inhuman sense of cruel alienation.

Even if he doesn’t need to feel carefully, he can perceive--

The gloomy, cold, and sinister smell quietly surrounded him, enveloping himself in it.

At that moment, Shi An seemed to have returned to the time when he was still maintaining a majestic and beautiful dragon shape, sitting in a spacious and clean cave with a large number of treasures, sleeping whenever he wanted to...

"Hey, how are you?" Lin Yanming's voice came in his ears.

Shi An came back to his senses. The red-gold vertical pupil disappeared more slowly than usual, but in the end it was replaced by pitch black.

Looking down at his palm, his expression became visibly frustrated.

--hateful!

Nothing! Gone!

"What's the matter?" Lin Yanming leaned over nervously.

"nothing."

Shi An sighed.

He raised his eyes, as if he had only realized afterwards the question the other party asked just now, and said absently:

"Oh by the way, the one in front is the reason why these things are happening now."

Lin Yanming: "..."

He couldn't tell whether he was shocked by the content of the other party's words or was shocked by the other party's understatement of speaking.

Shi An tugged his sleeve: "Let's go, it's not far from the center of the entire area."

Lin Yanming nodded, and finally cheered up:

"good!"

Very good! Going out soon!

There are only a few steps left, what other moths can come out——

Rumbling--

There was a faint low roar from the horizon not far away.

The ground began to vibrate without warning, as if thousands of horses were galloping across the plain, bringing a certain heavy and terrible sense of oppression.

Lin Yanming was startled, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

Although the light is very dim, he can still see that the black, overwhelming, almost suffocating number of monsters-it is a tide of monsters.

I am grass.

Why is there a tide of monsters? ? ?

Lin Yanming officially collapsed.

Get sick! How come there are people playing like this! ! Can't you let him breathe! ! !

And... those monsters are not those ugly and weird species that he has never seen before, but serious ground monsters. All of them wear cold silver-white collars on their necks, and all kinds of flashes are on them. The colors-blue, yellow, and red, which symbolizes the regional boss.

Shi An suddenly recovered, and exclaimed: "Oh!"

He seemed to think of something suddenly, and reached out to touch his pocket.

A small bag was taken out, and it was stuffed with unknown spices.

Shi An quietly said to the demon insect:

"That... I think the gap in the abyss can also make the sense of smell of the monsters on the ground become more acute."

Devil: "...Haha, yeah."

Otherwise you think so! ! !

Lin Yanming noticed the small bag in Shi An's hand, combined with his previous experience, he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.

His throat tightened, his voice trembling and erratic:

"The one you are holding, yes, what is it?"

"Oh, this, that guy stuffed it into his backpack before."

Shi An scratched his head: "I don't know exactly what it is, but it seems to be able to attract monsters and make them mad."

Lin Yanming: "…………………………"

He closed his eyes, took a slow and deep breath, desperately restraining his strong urge to smash his head to the ground.

——If time can go back, he must go back to the moment when he teamed up with Shi'an, and then punch himself! ! !
