Chapter 277 Sudden sequelae
After a few brief exchanges, Zhao Nanxing and Jiang You didn't say anything else, but just looked at each other silently.

At this moment, Xiao Qingque and the other two who were hiding outside the door were extremely nervous. The extremely depressing atmosphere made them dare not even breathe, for fear of attracting the attention of the two.

Xiao Qingque had already sensed the impending danger and quietly began to summon blood to protect himself and the other two.

"Please take care of yourselves."

In a brief silence, Zhao Nanxing suddenly spoke these words, obviously addressing Xiao Qingque and the other two.

They had just heard Zhao Nanxing's words and had no time to react when a loud bang filled their ears.

boom!
A loud bang accompanied by a terrible shock wave came towards them, blowing the three people away in an instant.

Xiao Qingque couldn't control his body at all. His vision suddenly spun around and he felt like he was flying wildly in the air. He finally stopped after crashing into a wall.

Crackling!

Countless large and small pieces of debris hit her like a storm, submerging her completely in the blink of an eye.

The world fell into darkness. After a few seconds, Xiao Qingque came back to his senses from the dizziness and found himself buried.

She struggled to crawl out of the ruins. Looking around, she saw hazy dust and debris everywhere and could not see the surrounding environment clearly.

Xiao Qingque coughed a few times, waved his hand to fan away the dust in front of his eyes, and suddenly felt as if he was holding something in his hand.

She looked down and found it was a USB drive.

It was the USB flash drive that Zhao Nanxing used to install the virus. No one knew when it fell into her hands.

Xiao Qingque was completely confused and could only put the USB drive away. Then he looked around for Yan Qiuli and Cheng Ying, and soon dug them out from the nearby ruins.

The two were not injured, but were a little dazed by the sudden explosion.

Seeing that the two were safe and sound, Xiao Qingque felt deeply frightened. If she had not sensed the danger in advance and secretly protected the two, they might have been killed by the shock wave in the explosion.

The dust in the air had gradually dissipated, and Xiao Qingque could finally see the surrounding environment clearly. His eyes widened involuntarily, revealing obvious surprise.

She saw that the originally neat buildings around her had turned into ruins, and a huge gap appeared in the wall in front of her, as if the entire building had been bitten off by some giant beast. The cold wind blew in from outside.

Zhao Nanxing and that guy named Jiang You are both gone.

The violent explosion just now and the huge gap in front of us should be caused by the aftermath of their fight.

Xiao Qingque's mind was a little shocked for a moment. This was the first time she felt the power of the trump card up close. It was really hard to describe in words.

Yan Qiuli and Cheng Ying had also come back to their senses, but they were stunned again when they saw the devastated scene before them.

Just as the three were in a daze, there was a violent explosion in the distance, as if an airplane had dropped dozens of bombs on the ground, directly destroying an entire area.

That was not an airplane bombing, but the noise made by the two aces fighting each other.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard from inside the building.

Only then did the three of them come to their senses.

"Come on."

Xiao Qingque hurriedly pulled up Yan Qiuli and Cheng Ying who were still kneeling on the ground, and used the blood control technique to create a giant eagle, which carried the three of them and flew towards the gap made by Zhao Nanxing.

Just as the giant eagle flew out, a man who looked like an officer rushed out from inside the building.

When he saw the giant eagle flying away and the three people sitting on its back, he immediately bent down and pulled out a steel bar that was inserted diagonally into the ground. After a few running steps, he threw it hard at the three people.

The steel bars shot out with a whistling sound and shot towards Xiao Qingque who was sitting in the middle.

Xiao Qingque had already sensed the danger, so he raised his hand and summoned a large amount of blood to form a huge shield.

The steel bar hit the shield with a deafening sound.

The shield was shattered into pieces in an instant, but the steel bars also broke into several pieces.

A large number of fully armed soldiers followed closely behind the officer, raising their guns and shooting at the giant eagle.

Xiao Qingque had used his blood to create a second shield, blocking all the bullets shot at the three people.

The giant eagle under them was not a real creature and was not afraid of bullets at all.

Seeing that they had successfully escaped, Yan Qiuli and Cheng Ying both subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Xiao Qingque frowned as he watched the black building gradually recede. He suddenly turned to Cheng Ying and Yan Qiuli and asked, "What do you think Sister Zhao's purpose is?"

The two were slightly stunned, wondering why Xiao Qingque suddenly asked this question.

Yan Qiuli barely thought about it and said subconsciously: "Didn't Sister Zhao say she was going to blow up the nuclear power plant?"

Cheng Ying, who had been silent all this time, also replied: "She implanted so many viruses, perhaps to destroy the data here?"

"No!"

Xiao Qingque looked down at the USB drive in his hand and expressed his guess: "Sister Zhao should want to destroy this place."

She had been wondering why Zhao Nanxing wanted to hand this important USB flash drive to her. It was not until this moment that she realized that she wanted her to accomplish her goal and implant the virus into the data center.

The reason why he didn't say it directly was definitely because Jiang You was right next to him at the time, and if he said it directly, Jiang You would notice it.

"Destroy this place?"

Yan Qiuli and Cheng Ying both showed surprised expressions: "Why?"

"No reason! Because that's how the storyline develops."

As the author, Xiao Qingque easily guessed Zhao Nanxing's purpose. She chuckled, controlled the giant eagle under her, turned around and flew backwards.

"Let's go back."

In the building, the officer was leading the soldiers to clear the rubble and search for survivors, when they suddenly discovered that Xiao Qingque and the other two had returned.

By the time they wanted to raise their guns again, it was too late. Xiao Qingque summoned countless flying birds from the sky and directly drowned them all.

-

When Xiao Qingque started to struggle, Shen Cheng was still looking for his whereabouts everywhere.

But his attention was gradually drawn to the battle between the Living Tribunal and the Star Rangers.

The battle between the two sides spread across all parts of the dungeon, and their active figures could be seen everywhere.

In order to wipe out these powerful lurking enemies, the Life Tribunal had to mobilize the entire city and dispatched at least five thousand soldiers and a large amount of weapons and equipment.

But these soldiers posed no threat to the Star Rangers. At most, they could harass them and slightly hinder their progress. They were not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

The battle situation suddenly became brutal only after a large number of middle-level and senior officials who remained at the Life Tribunal headquarters joined the fight.

Almost all the rangers were scattered and could only choose to fight on their own, and each of them had to face the siege of several or even dozens of times the number of enemies. During his journey, Shen Cheng had already seen the death of two Star Sea Rangers.

One of them was the ranger who pretended to be Du Tianming. He was the first to be exposed, and stayed in the intelligence department to attract firepower for other Star Sea Rangers, so he had the most enemies besieging him and the intensity of the siege was also the greatest.

Shen Cheng didn’t know the name of the other dead ranger, he only knew that he had always been taciturn and didn’t like to talk.

Both Star Rangers died in battle, but they also caused great losses to the Living Tribunal.

The first ranger almost destroyed the entire intelligence department, and at least a thousand people died in his hands, including Minister Wang who came to suppress the rebellion, but was severely injured by him before his death and had to withdraw from the battle.

The second ranger dragged three master-level mid-level cadres to their deaths, and the battle between the two sides spread over several kilometers.

There are only nine Star Rangers left, and their conditions are all precarious. The Life Tribunal has already predicted that they are going to destroy the nuclear power plant, and is preventing them from getting close to the nuclear power plant at all costs.

Shen Cheng is now in a dilemma, whether to continue looking for the missing Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli, or to choose to help this group of respectable Star Sea Rangers.

If he chooses not to help, then when all the Star Rangers are wiped out and Shen Cheng has not found Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli, he will have to face the entire Life Court alone and will surely die.

If he chose to help, even with his trump card, he could only delay the time of the rangers' destruction at most, and might even miss the best opportunity to find Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli.

These two thoughts swirled and entangled wildly in Shen Cheng's mind, as if they were going to pull his brain directly in half.

"Is there another way?"

"Who?!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him. Shen Cheng subconsciously turned around and looked behind him, and actually saw another self.

He opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Who are you?"

"I am you!"

The other Shen Cheng smiled and said, "I am the subconscious in your heart."

"subconscious?"

"Yes, I will provide you with a third solution."

The smile on the other Shen Cheng's face was full of temptation: "The third way is to abandon all of them and leave this damn place directly!"

Shen Cheng's eyes turned cold: "You want me to be a deserter?"

"No, no, no, how can this be considered desertion?"

The other Shen Cheng raised his finger and shook it: "You are not a Star Sea Ranger, so what does the life and death of the rangers have to do with you? As for Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli, you have no relationship with them. These two damn girls have only caused trouble for you. They are two burdens on you. It's time to get rid of them."

Shen Cheng frowned, as if he was thinking about what he said.

"Don't doubt it, I am your subconscious."

The other Shen Cheng opened his arms and moved closer to Shen Cheng: "The third method I mentioned is what you really think in your heart, so follow your heart..."

"Fuck you!"

Shen Cheng suddenly punched another Shen Cheng in the face, directly blowing his head off.

However, what exploded out of him was not flesh and blood, but fireworks. His entire body exploded out of thin air like fireworks.

"I know it's hard for you to believe, but it's true."

Another voice of Shen Cheng sounded around: "I am you, you are me, there is no difference between us, no matter how you resist, one day we will become one."

Shen Cheng looked around with cold eyes and directly summoned the demon armor to sense energy, preparing to pull out this guy who came out of nowhere.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Shen Cheng came to his senses and found himself floating in the air. Apart from the sounds of fighting coming from afar, there was nothing unusual around him.

It was as if everything that happened just now was just an illusion caused by his slight distraction.

But he knew it was no illusion.

"The aftereffects of Eternal Blood?"

Shen Cheng clenched his fists tightly. Although he was mentally prepared, he did not expect that he would suffer from sequelae so soon.

Fortunately, the symptoms will gradually worsen and last for a long time, and will not suddenly change Shen Cheng into another person.

If he really turned into another person, he would probably do as the other Shen Cheng said just now, abandoning Star Sea Ranger, Xiao Qingque and Yan Qiuli and running away alone.

"I can only choose to believe her."

Shen Cheng sighed and could only choose to believe that Tianxuanxing could help him solve this problem.

He quickly pulled himself together and put the matter behind him. There was no time to think about it now.

He had already made a decision in his mind and immediately flew quickly in a certain direction.

……

Wei Yiting was half-kneeling on one knee on the ground, gasping for breath, her hair disheveled and her clothes in disarray. She looked extremely disheveled, and there were even many bloody wounds on her body.

Behind her, Shi Liu was sitting on the ground with his back against a broken wall.

Compared with Wei Yiting, Shi Liu did not have as many bloody wounds on his body and seemed to be in better condition.

However, one of her arms was broken at the shoulder, and there was a huge wound on her abdomen. Blood was all over the floor, and her face looked pale due to excessive blood loss.

Around the two people, all the buildings within at least 1 kilometer had been completely destroyed and turned into incomplete ruins. The ruins were scattered with corpses, and fires were burning in many places, illuminating the dark night.

Compared with the miserable appearance of Wei Yiting and the others, Yan Yubin, who was floating in the air, was unharmed, and even his hair style was not messy.

However, Yan Yubin's face did not show any joy of having the upper hand, but instead seemed extremely impatient.

As an ace, he was unable to deal with the two masters easily. Instead, he was unable to kill them even without holding back, and was delayed until now.

"Star Ranger!"

Yan Yubin gritted his teeth and said, "You are really not afraid of death. You dare to break into our headquarters."

Because the power of the Star Ranger is very special, and is very different from that of other people with special abilities except for those with life-type abilities, Yan Yubin had already discovered the identities of these two people during the battle.

I finally understand why this group of people behaved like a bunch of fearless lunatics. In the eyes of the Living Tribunal, the Star Rangers were a bunch of mentally ill lunatics, just like the Masquerade.

Wei Yiting smiled slightly: "What is there to be afraid of? We are not like you parasites who only dare to hide in the dark underground."

Yan Yubin had a blank expression on his face. He had heard enough of this kind of rubbish and did not feel the slightest bit of emotion.

He raised his hand towards Wei Yiting and began to concentrate his mental power in his palm.
