Chapter 256 (1/2)
There is no real sun and moon in the suspended continent, and the day and night alternation is completely revealed by the orange Law Shield on the surface of the suspended continent.
During the day, the orange shield will emit warm sunlight similar to the sunlight, but at night it will be dark. In addition to the little starlight reflected by other suspended continents in the sky, there is no moonlight.
The holy city of Atlantis has been destroyed. There is no more energy in the city for lighting. In the dark, ”the wheel of heaven” is like a huge monster crawling in the dark. There was a dead silence around the area, which was destroyed by the war. Even the wild creatures were not willing to build nests and stay here.
Qin Lun quietly sneaks back to the original hiding place, and when he observes the surrounding environment again with the eyes of the gods, he is not surprised. In the two hours he left to search for food, the number of Apostles lurking around him almost multiplied. Although the exact number is not known, it is at least 20.
”Can't wait any longer!”
Qin Lun's sense of urgency increased rapidly, and more than 20 apostles had surpassed one tenth of the area of the war of hegemony. By tomorrow, I'm afraid that the number will exceed 50. At that time, there will be fighting. Whether Qin Lun takes part in the war or not, it will affect his plan.
He checked his equipment, got up from the darkness, took a swift wind step, and flew like lightning toward the military fortress in the darkness.
His hiding place is less than 200 meters away from the wheel of Tianhua. Although there are countless ruins in the middle, he came to this military fortress in six or seven seconds by using the wind system drift effect of the fast wind step, and without hesitation flashed into one of the crevasses.
”Fuck...” Around the ruins of the military fortress, there were countless low voice curses, and there was a stir in the dark. However, the commotion caused by Qin Lun soon subsided, and there was a strange calm around.
Qin Lun did not go into the breach of the military fortress immediately, but leaned against the wall and looked out of the breach. After a few minutes, it was found that the commotion had really subsided. No other apostles followed him in. He breathed out a long breath and walked back towards the interior of a dark fortress.
He has been thoughtful about the night exploration of ”Tianhua wheel” branch. Although there are more than 20 apostles hidden around the military fortress, few dare to act in the dark.
First, it is not known whether there is any gain in entering the military fortress at night. However, searching for such a large military fortress in the dark can not be completed in a few hours. By the time we came out, it was almost daylight, and we were bound to be besieged by all.
The second is that the branch of ”Tianhua wheel” was originally an important apostle's residence. It's hard to say whether there are any institutional traps in it. In case of injury inside and siege by other apostles after coming out, the possibility of falling is more than 90%.
Qin Lun's only worry is that there are particularly powerful assassins and thieves among the twenty apostles around him. If this kind of Apostle saw him act ahead of time, and could not help but follow in, it might really stir up all the hidden apostles, leading to the bankruptcy of his next plan.
Fortunately, he's got the right bet! There were no such assassins or thieves among the twenty apostles, or they had come in quietly. A few assassins and thieves won't affect his plan. Besides, assassins and thieves don't detect auras and celestial eyes. In the darkness, they were no different from the ordinary apostles.
Qin Lun felt for the flat jug of walnut wine and poured a mouthful into his mouth. Detecting aura is a passive ability, but the spirit eye needs to consume energy. For the next exploration, he must maintain the spirit eye all the way.
Three flickering fluorescent hands, beating slowly in the clock like pupil, make Qin Lun look a little weird. The surrounding scenery shows the effect of black-and-white film in his eyes.
The breach of the fort he broke into seemed to be a sentry post, with a long steel table in the corner, scattered with a ragged radio station and pager. On the floor of the room, there are several scattered long barrel guns, which should be some kind of heavy machine gun.
Qin Lun squatted on the ground and scratched the ground with his fingers, showing a strange color on his face. Although the table in this place is full of dust, there is not much dust on the ground.
”Are there any aborigines hiding in this fortress?” Qin Lun's eyes twinkled slightly.
He did not think that it was the other apostles who first entered the fortress. In that way, the ground would not be dusty, but would leave obvious footprints. Only when you enter this room often, you will not be able to accumulate much dust on the ground. This place was originally a sentry post. Maybe someone observed the situation outside through this breach.
The fall of the holy city of Atlantis was only two or three years ago. It was not surprising that there were still people hiding in the city, which had a population of millions. In the broken starry sky, once the whole civilization of any intelligent race is destroyed, it will be a miserable fate to wait for them.
