Chapter VIII The Edge of Crisis

The dispute ahead seemed to be getting more and more intense, and what responded to those people was the indifferent voices of several others.

I also couldn't understand it, but Mo Chen could hear the serious and commanding tone of official business.

The two sides seemed to be quarreling repeatedly about something like that, and finally...

Bang!

Bang bang bang bang!

A short but dense gunfire sounded, accompanied by a fierce howling, which made Mo Chen, who had already subconsciously stopped and stopped moving forward, felt that his heart suddenly stopped and beat.

This kind of movement is good no matter how you look at it, and it is definitely not a joke.

Mo Chen's mind was blank, he only knew that he was standing there. It took him five or six seconds to come back to his senses, and then he almost couldn't think about it and leaned against the wall.

He froze like this, unable to move, wanted to scream, but did not dare to make a sound, wanted to tremble, but his body was stiff and motionless—

Unsuppressed fear has become the only thought that occupies his entire brain at this moment. The cold air that emerged from the very end of his back quickly spread throughout his body, stimulating the nerves all over his body.

This was a very terrible emergency, and he was not prepared for such harsh mentality.

Although I have considered various possible dangers in advance, the possibility in my imagination and the facts I face are completely different. Just like the so-called pain of childbirth, many people know what the "level tenth level of pain" belongs to.

However, people who have never really experienced it personally cannot understand what this concept of "the equivalent of level 10 painful childbirth".

Although, in fact, the limit of pain that the human body can bear and the value of childbirth pain is likely to be a rumor on the Internet, and there is no conclusive medical evidence or research to support it.

Even the so-called twelve-level pain level index is actually just a fabricated statement, but it’s good to understand the meaning.

That is, women feel very painful when giving birth, at the same level of pain, but no matter how much pain is rumored or fabricated, it will be cured, no matter whether it is credible or not, people who have not experienced it personally will never truly understand it.

——Because imagined and realistic are always different.

This is the case now. Many people have seen news about shootings, massacres, terrorist attacks and other things on TV, and have also thought about how they would deal with it if they encountered such a thing.

But this is just an imagination after all. When they really face the terrible reality in person, it is completely different.

Otherwise, how could he say "there is a great horror between life and death"?

Is it the only one who is the keyboard strongman, and those who suffer are relatively weak? As ordinary people, you can do things well by picking up the keyboard and then using it?

This makes no sense at all.

Besides, Mo Chen himself does not have the perception of a keyboard powerhouse. He already knows how good he can do in such a thing. He thought before just the idea of ​​"After it passes, I will come back immediately if I encounter danger."

But unexpectedly, after coming here, he never encountered any danger. Until he relaxed his vigilance, such an accident suddenly occurred.

It can only be said that he is not a "warrior" who has experienced many battles and has enlightenment.

Mo Chen was trying his best to control himself at this moment. He wanted to turn around and run away, leaving the place far away, and wanted to rush back and hide behind him to the place where those people were hiding.

But he knew that that was the wrong way - there was still a chance to fight now, but there was no chance after that, but it was definitely very slim.

Therefore, no matter how creepy or panic he was, he could only open his eyes and force himself to stand here.

You cannot expose yourself, hide it first, wait for an opportunity to find opportunities...and then...

By the way, how far is this place from where the "gate" is located, and can you take a detour?

This is a nightmare, but it is not possible to wake up at any time. Fear tightly grasps Mo Chen's heart and soul, causing chaos in his mind. He can only think about countermeasures like this, almost rudely calm himself down.

That’s right, let’s figure out the status quo first!

He made a decision in an instant, turned around suddenly, and then suddenly stood up, turning into a squatted position, with careful and cautious action.

Mo Chen moved carefully to the corner of the street at a turtle speed, and tried to lean down and see from a lower angle to the outside.

This is because he heard the voices of those people talking far away.

This look made his pupils shrink suddenly, and he felt his scalp numb—

In the distance were the soldiers, perhaps because they had received some orders, and were setting up levels and blocking the road. The group of people who had argued with them before should be some upper class and elites, dressed brightly.

This is also natural. Ordinary poor and low-class people know how to protect themselves to the greatest extent. They are already very difficult to survive and will not cause trouble.

Therefore, those elites, ladies and gentlemen, don’t know how many people are—

After all, from Mo Chen's perspective, they couldn't see clearly. They just fell to the ground in a row, blood flowing out, dyeing the streets red.

It's like a wax figure, lifelike, but it just doesn't have any vitality, it's just a dead thing.

Mo Chen never knew that his eyesight was so good that he could see their terrified and distorted faces, their bleeding mouths, and their frozen pupils...

There is no doubt that the shooting just now ruthlessly took their lives.

The souls had slipped away silently from their open mouths and bleeding holes.

“…”

“…”

You must never be exposed and you must never be able to pass here!

Withdrew his gaze, Mo Chen hid his body back to the street here and retreated little by little, while also making such a conclusion in his mind.

It is impossible that there is only one way to go around from other places.

He held his breath, afraid of disturbing some prehistoric beasts, turned around slowly, then looked around, quickly searched for a narrow and dark alley, and quickly drilled into it.

The empty city and the streets are lonely, with only the sound of shootings and explosions coming from time to time in every direction.

There are also the harsh roars that trams are rushing past the live tracks above.

...

...

Mo Chen walked through remote and dark alleys as much as possible, and sometimes he carefully climbed up the roof of the building along the huge iron pipe, looking for "road signs" around him, confirm the original direction of the route, and correct his plan of travel.

For safety, he abandoned the route of returning directly, and the result was that he had to spend more time and energy on detours.

Along the way, he saw countless people who were in danger of being taken refuge, and also saw corpses in every street and alley, each of whom died with his eyes open.

Maybe it was killed by the rioters, or maybe it was robbed by some people with ulterior motives.

The whole city was undoubtedly in a turbulent war. At this time, people who were still outside had to take huge risks, but Mo Chen had no choice.

And he also noticed that more and more guards patrolling the streets, and his situation was becoming more and more dangerous.

Just now, they just ordered people not to go out to the streets, block roads, and be able to communicate or have some security. Now, they basically just kill people when they are in a slightly remote place.

It was completely like the kind of soldiers who were red-eyed and snatched. The soldiers who were originally maintaining public order were no different from those of the bandits at this moment.

Moreover, it is said that art originates from life, which is not unreasonable.

No matter how careful Mo Chen is, he is still not a thief master or legendary assassin with a huge stealth skill. He cannot break through the siege in a dangerous city.

Every key intersection is blocked, guards patrolling each block, and some outlaws even take advantage of the situation to rob and roam around, looking for opportunities to commit crimes, kill people and set fires, and do everything evil.

In such a situation, it is not uncommon to be able to cross a line of defense safely. It can be said to be a good luck to cross three or five lines of defense in a row.

But if we can go smoothly from beginning to end, everyone is blind, only he is bright in his eyes and is so lucky...

This is pure nonsense.

So, it's like this now-

He didn't know how many times he carefully took his steps and carefully looked out until he confirmed that there was no one in the alley at the corner, and then he tiptoed to rush to the end in one breath.

This is how he prepared, and he did, but this time, he had just sprinted hard and ran halfway, and heard the movement coming from the front again.

That was the sound of footsteps and scolding.

Mo Chen couldn't stop the car at all, and even if it was braked at this time, it was useless. He raised his head and saw it almost immediately.

Just as there was a burst of cursing, two strong men dressed in guards held a gun in one hand and a bloody sword in the other, turning out from the corner of the end, with a fierce look on their faces.

Damn it! How could this happen?!

He suddenly widened his eyes, then almost thoughtlessly accelerated and rushed into a lane next to him.

Although this will make him deviate from his original direction, it is important to save his life no matter how you look at it. If you don't run at this time, or turn around and run back, he suspects that he will be shot directly.

This is no joke.

I don’t know which stage the gun weapon type in this world is gunpowder weapon to develop, but the height it has developed is probably not too amazing. However, within a range of more than ten or twenty meters, as long as it is a musket, the lethality and accuracy are guaranteed.

The two guards on the opposite side probably didn't expect that as soon as they turned around, they saw a young man sprinting towards this side.

They were a little surprised, and it took a full half a second to react. Both of them immediately raised the pistol in their hands, pulled the trigger on their fingers, showing fierce expressions and bloodthirsty eyes.

Just like what they had done not long ago, they had the courage to repeat it once, not even by courage, but by the tyrannical pleasure in their hearts.

It feels so good to dominate the lives of others.

However, this time it was slightly different. They found that the half second they delayed was so important that as soon as they raised their arms, the young man opposite had already jumped extremely quickly and accelerated into a narrow path next to them.

I couldn't see it all at once, and I could only hear the sound of the other party running away quickly.

All this happened too quickly. They looked at each other, and they were both confused for a while. Then they ran up quickly and chased after each other after a few words.

...

...

Mo Chen found that his condition was even worse.

Under the threat of a possible bullet flying behind him, he ran out for a long distance in a panic, and then realized that if he continued like this, he would completely lose his way.

This is normal. If the enemy behind you may be caught up and killed at any time, who would consider distinguishing the direction and making a plan?

It is normal to just rush forward in a hurry. Moreover, the most important thing is that he is not familiar with the place and he has no chance of knowing what route he is heading.

But he reacted in time.

If you continue like this, you will never be able to go back to the "door". Even if you are not caught by the people behind you, you will only lose your way in this city, and then encounter other enemies and continue to attract their attention...

As time goes by, the probability of surviving becomes increasingly slim.
