Chapter 17 Orphans in the Holy City
Although Qin Lun had a clear purpose and a clear plan, it was not easy to find the branch location of the "Wheel of Tianhua" in this area.
One is that most of the buildings in the Holy City of Atlantis are dilapidated and are almost the same from a distance. If you don’t get close to a certain distance, you cannot identify whether it is the residence of the “Wheel of Heaven”.
The second is that the "Wheel of Tianhua" implements a strict military control system. Administrative buildings, apostle residential areas, arenas, and apostle exchanges are all military forbidden areas. Even if they find their base, outsiders can't tell which building is the apostle branch of the "Wheel of Tianhua".
"Huh!" Qin Lun took the help of the claw chain and rushed from one building to the rooftop of another building, rolled down and stood firm. Although he was also more careful about concealment, due to large-scale searches, it would inevitably attract the attention of some apostles.
However, after seeing Qin Lun for the first time, these apostles would immediately dispel their desire to fight with him. The reason is also very simple. At this time, the belligerent apostles were rushing to the previous battle area, wanting to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Most of the apostles who did not join in the fun were very thoughtful and made up their minds to keep a low profile in the early stage of the battle for hegemony.
What's more, seeing Qin Lun flying in the air like Spider-Man, any idiot would be willing to chase after him. Most of them cursed and ignored the arrogant flying monkey.
As a result, Qin Lun made the road unobstructed. In the half-day situation, except for the battlefield where wars were constantly fire, he almost touched this battle area and marked it completely on the city projection map.
As Qin Lun thought, the headquarters of "Wheel of Heaven" was not in this area. He could even see the majestic building like a huge Ferris wheel through the orange and yellow shield in this area. The other side was also covered by an orange and yellow shield, and it was probably the battlefield for the battle for the high-level apostles.
As for the "Wheel of Heaven" branch in this area, Qin Lun also had a rough judgment in his mind at this time.
It was a building complex with serious damage. Except for the central area, the surrounding buildings were like building blocks that were pushed down, scattered into a pile. Among the ruins, rusty broken steel bars could be seen everywhere. Only a huge building in the central area still maintained a roughly complete building framework.
However, this building is not so much a building as a military fortress. It is like a big pot facing upside down on the ground. The round building surface is full of potholes and is suffering from the war. The fortress's many troughs are twisted and deformed, revealing the steel structure inside.
There are broken fortresses everywhere, and the inside is dark, like a monster with a wide mouth, quietly crawling on the ground, waiting for outsiders to come to the door.
At this time, Qin Lun was lying behind a pile of ruins, and three pointers were slowly pounding in the clock-shaped pupils. However, he was not observing the branch fortress of the "Wheel of Heaven", but in the dark corners around the reconnaissance fortress.
Qin Lun believed that among the apostles who were deliberately looking for this branch, he should be the earliest one. However, it is difficult to guarantee that any apostles who were randomly teleported into the Battle of Hegemony by the broken starry sky were just around the corner of this military forbidden area.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun slowly retracted his body and quietly took out the wine bottle and fed himself. In the past half day, in order to find this place, he basically did not search for food or water, and using strong alcohol to quench his thirst was a helpless move.
"It's almost dark!" Qin Lun looked up at the sky and murmured to himself, "I have found the place. Before entering, I have to make some preparations. The most important thing is to find some food!"
Qin Lun tiptoed out for a distance, and disappeared at the end of the ruins with a flash.
On the wide asphalt road, a cute little beast poked its head out of the lush bushes beside the road, looked around with vigilance, then jumped to the middle of the road with all its limbs. There was a dead mouse lying on the ground with its belly facing the sky. There seemed to be some blood next to it, emitting a strong smell of blood.
Just as the little beast opened its mouth and bit the dead mouse, a gust of wind flew over it. A big hand grabbed the little beast's neck like lightning and lifted it up.
"Jiji!" The little beast screamed in panic, and his cheeks bulged, and a gust of wind element fluctuated around his mouth. However, the big hand that grabbed it twisted mercilessly. Before the wind blade on the little beast's mouth was formed, it was twisted directly.
The little beast's eyes were red, the fur was soft and thick, and its lips were divided into three petals, which was a wind-type magic rabbit. However, judging from the two sharp fangs exposed in its cracked lips, the puppy-sized wind rabbit is probably not just a vegetarian.
"I actually encountered such a fat wind rabbit on the road!" Qin Lun grinned, feeling very glad that this kind of good luck was not something that often happened.
"Hey, it's not right!" Qin Lun was about to leave, but suddenly his heart moved and his eyes swept on the ground, "Where is the dead mouse just now? Could it be..."
Qin Lun's pupils instantly turned into a clock shape, and he slowly turned his head to look around. He originally thought that it was purely luck to encounter this wind rabbit, but now it seems that it was a hunting trap set up by someone on purpose. The dead rat used as bait should be a rat summoning object.
"Come out there!" Qin Lun lifted the body of Fengtu and smashed it at a big tree by the roadside. At the same time, his body flashed, spread the wind steps, and jumped up obliquely. His body was still in the air, and his left hand shook, and his claw chain shot towards the trunk of the big tree, and his right hand had already grasped the evil dagger at some point.
He did not use light and dark funeral. Since the opponent arranged such a trap and avoided the detection halo, there must be follow-up methods. At this time, he first entangled the enemy close to him to disrupt the opponent's rhythm and creates an opportunity for himself to escape.
However, what Qin Lun did not expect was that his opponent gave up the first wave of attacks, allowing him to use his claw chain to get close to the big tree smoothly. After going around the big tree, a black shadow flashed in front of Qin Lun. He immediately slashed his right hand, and the evil dagger brought a black light in the air, stabbing the black shadow's neck like lightning.
After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, Qin Lun immediately paused, and the evil dagger stopped barely on the target's neck.
This black shadow was not Qin Lun's imagined enemy. His body was covered with black mud, his hair was radiant, his limbs were as thin as firewood, and he was wearing a dirty and ragged T-shirt. Because of his slim figure, the adult T-shirt was worn on him until his knees, like a dirty robe.
"Children!" Qin Lun raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the "enemy" with surprise.
The child looked only seven or eight years old, and perhaps because he was too thin, his head looked extremely big. He raised his head and stared at Qin Lun blankly, reflecting the young man's face, there was no emotional fluctuation, but a lifeless indifference.
"Squeak squeak!" While Qin Lun and the child were looking at each other, an anxious beast sound came from the top of the tree.
Qin Lun gently put his left hand on the back of the child's neck, looked up at the top of the tree, and saw a rat with a fluffy tail grinning at him.
"Squirrel! It turns out that it was the one who pretended to be dead on the ground just now!" Qin Lun looked down at the tree. There was a mud pit more than a half meters deep under the tree. There was a small slingshot and some sharp bamboo sticks at the bottom of the mud pit. He suddenly realized.
This trap should have been set up by the child who raised this squirrel. He was squatting in this mud pit just now. The mud on his body covered his breath, and his tiny figure had actually concealed Qin Lun's detection aura. If Qin Lun hadn't noticed the disappearing dead squirrel, he might have really not been able to find this child.
Seeing the squirrel appear, the child's calm eyes finally fluctuated slightly, and the eyes staring at Qin Lun showed a hint of pleading.
Qin Lun smiled lightly, and the evil dagger that was pressing against the child disappeared into his sleeve. He leaned over and picked up Fengtu's corpse, turned around and strode away. Fengtu's corpse was hit by him just now. It was a little broken, but after cleaning it, it was still edible.
Thinking of snatching the food of a little orphan, Qin Lun felt something strange in his heart and turned to look behind him.
Just as he saw the young man's face changed, he saw the child kneeling under the big tree, holding a ball of mud and sucking carefully, and licking the blood and cumin left on the wind rabbit with his tongue.
Qin Lun's heart twitched violently, his eyes immediately red as blood, and his body emitted a monstrous aura of violence. The child under the tree was shocked and he froze there with the mud in his arms, his body shivered slightly, like a faint candlelight in the wind.
Qin Lun's tyrannical aura disappeared as soon as he burst out, and the blood in his eyes slowly faded away, and he returned to the clarity. His eyes flashed slightly in silence. After making a decision, he flashed and came to the tree, picked up the child with one arm, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
...
"Eat!" Qin Lun tore off one of the hind legs of the roasted wind rabbit and handed it to the orphan of the Holy City who was huddled in the corner.
The child hugged his knees indifferently, leaned his chin on his knees, staring at the floor beneath his feet without any focus, and didn't even look at Qin Lun.
Qin Lun curled his lips boredly, spread a strip of cloth in front of him, and placed the rabbit legs on it. He turned back to the grill, put the bonfire out, and dealt with the remaining wind rabbit meat.
"Squeak!" The squirrel came out from under the child's wide T-shirt, smelled the rabbit's legs, and shouted at the owner twice. Seeing that the owner ignored it, he shrank his head and crawled back to the T-shirt, and actually resisted the temptation of barbecue.
The place where the two are now is a ruin about 300 meters away from the "Wheel of Tianhua" branch. After eating most of the wind rabbit, Qin Lun finally burped, stood up again, held the broken wall and looked out of the ruins.
"No matter how the world changes, its essence is the same. Only by bringing death to others can you survive! Sometimes, it is a lucky thing to be able to have the mercy of others. The most terrifying thing is that no one pitys you!"
Qin Lun murmured to the child, "I'm leaving. If the sunlight illuminates the place again, you are still there... Then follow me and let's live together and appreciate other people's death!"
"Bang!" A small slingshot was thrown at the feet of the orphan in the holy city, and there were silhouettes at the ruins.
