Chapter 3: The Rain of Spring

"At that time, people rarely slept every night, for many reasons, a lot of work every day, not enough to eat, the hustle and bustle of the war outside.

I remember that when I was a child, my father would always cover my ears at night and hide in the cellar dug up at home, and my father's right ear was deaf because of improper protection.

I went out every day, rummaging around, just like the waste pickers now, and of course, their environment was much better than it was then.

We also have to pay attention to our surroundings at all times, whether in the sky or on the ground, there may be attacks, even if we rub the point, it is only a matter of time before we die.

I still remember that once when I went out to look for food, on the ruins of a building, I saw a snow-white pillar of light, breaking through the clouds. Suddenly, it landed on a mountain.

I've been to that mountain before, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to do it again.

At that time, people were panicked, we were like worms trying to survive in the cracks, and no one would care about us.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, these two sentences, a soldier told me at the beginning, his team appeared in front of the village, captured several very healthy villagers in the village, I didn't know what was going on at the time, and later, I learned the facts.

It's tiring to live, but you still have to live.

This is what Dad has always been steadfast in, I know, for Mom's wishes......

After a few years of this, finally, the war ended, and a new order was rebuilt on the embers of death. ”

"Yes, the establishment of the Anti-War Federation brought an end to the war that enveloped half the world.

The war that arises for no reason, the competition of interests, and the darkness here are not known to ordinary people. ”

………………

Bang!

A deafening thunder resounded through the sky, accompanied by snow-white lightning, flashing by.

The torrential rain pouring out of the sky slammed down on the ground and splashed water.

On the highway far from the city, two people sat in bus shelter No. 404, both of whom had to enter the shelter because of this sudden rainstorm.

Qi Xi stood on crutches, looked at the rain outside the window, and said loudly, people are old, and they always like to talk about old things.

At the age of one hundred and twenty this year, he is still in good physical condition, it can be said that he is forty or fifty years old, and he still recalls the old things clearly, as if it was yesterday.

"Old man, local?"

The young man on the side said with a smile, he shook the drink in his hand, and the old man he met by chance seemed to be very interesting, he had seen a lot of interesting scenes, and he was also a person who had seen the world.

The energy cannon that hit the ground from the sky, at that time, the most widely used in the war should be Yunqi, and it is said that the maximum power is to turn a mountain peak into powder.

"Of course, I was born here, I have lived a lifetime, and I will live here for a lifetime!

People are old, and there is nowhere to go, and my wife and children are also here, so why should I leave them.

Boy, you're not a local, are you? ”

Qi Xi smiled, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, he had a good impression of this young man, his granddaughter, almost this big, right?

"No, the old man can tell at a glance that I'm not a local."

"Your accent, I used to be very sensitive to accents and the like, after all, I was deceived and paid the price, people, only if you have suffered losses, can you grow."

Qi Xi's face was full of sighs, and he also remembered the past, which was not a wonderful memory.

"Accent? I speak with a little accent, just a little, basically very close to normal, old man, are your ears so clear? ”

The young man touched his chin, he actually showed his stuffing here, and he had to pay attention to it next time.

"The body is great! Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the original war may not have brought the so-called 'good fortune', and other people don't know, but I have lived for a long time anyway.

It's enough to live...... No loss..."

Qi Xi smiled, holding the cane tightly with both hands, for fear that it would get out of his hands and leave him.

"What ...... like that?"

The young man didn't say much, and the tide of time did not leave much on the old man, but when he began to stop, others were still moving forward, from the beginning of life to the end, starting another race.

The rain is still falling, and the sound of rain is very pleasant.

On the highway, from time to time, there are hovering cars speeding by, and the streamlined appearance is full of beauty.

The technology of the hovercraft was subtracted from some military technology during the war years and became civilian technology.

Youth, no, Ye Lu took a sip of the drink, and the faint sweetness spread in his mouth.

"Old man, where are you going to come out at such a late hour? Martial law at night, if you don't go home early, you can't go back. ”

Ye Lu glanced at the automatic robot on the left, although it was set up here to serve people, it was said that it was a little armed.

"My home is in the suburbs, and I don't live in the city, it's too noisy, it's too noisy."

Qi Xi responded, indeed, the urban area at night, full of people and bright lights, is not quieter than the suburbs.

Ye Lu shrugged, he was a person who slept in the park every day, and he was embarrassed to say anything.

"It's almost time, old man, goodbye."

Ye Lu drank the drink down, threw it into the trash can not far away, and got up to leave.

Qi Xi watched Ye Lu leave, but just sighed lightly.

…………

Ye Lu walked along the road, the sky was no longer raining, the heavy clouds had become thin, and the bright full moon hung high in the sky.

Step by step on the small water beach, Ye Lu is in a good mood, at least he should be able to get to the place before midnight.

Time is running out......

Ye Lu looked up at the sky, and the moon was clearly visible, as if the previous downpour had never been there.

The rain clouds that had shrouded almost three cities were gone.

Ye Lu shook his head, the ability can make people exercise many powers with the ability of the body, reach the sky, and descend to the Yellow Spring.

Understand the inside, understand the outside......

Just thinking about it, Ye Lu shook his body and took out his mobile phone from his pocket, an unknown call.

"Huh?"

Ye Lu answered the phone unequivocally, but he knew whose call it was.

"How's it going? Lao Buzi cares a lot, after all, she was the only one who believed in her ability at that time. ”

On the other end of the phone, there was a voice like a yellow warbler in a deep valley, which was pleasant to the ear.

"You can tell her that she is right, she has met a smuggler who can be resurrected, and she has some skills, and she is not a bad person."

Ye Lu scratched his stomach and said lazily, Xu Wensang did have some skills, but he couldn't show them at that time.

"yes, then he'll come out? Come out of that place. ”

The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, and sighed softly, as if there was some resentment.

"If he doesn't come out, he will die, I can't keep him, he stays there, sooner or later he will be discovered."

Ye Lu's tone remained unchanged, still relaxed and cheerful, he didn't need to explain too much, it was an unnecessary behavior.

"Ah, if it weren't for the ability, would we be ordinary people now?"

"No ifs......"

Ye Lu stopped, stood on the side of the road, looking up at the starry sky, and a little star had appeared on the black curtain, and the silver-white disc stars arched.

People have their own aspirations, and under many factors, there will always be a few unrealistic thoughts.

Powerful people want to live the life of ordinary people and become ordinary people.

Ordinary people who have no power aspire to become those who have power.

But reality is not fiction, no one can be smooth sailing in life, and all wishes come true.

"It's also, ah, said lines like a supporting role in a novel, isn't this a flag, after all, if you want to be an ordinary person, it's a matter of the next life. What if I don't get on the direct train?! ”

Hearing this, Ye Lu couldn't help laughing, and said in time: "Unless you are really unlucky and meet some guys who restrain you, you will always be at large."

"I'm not a criminal, I'm at large or something, what nonsense."

"It's not right now, sooner or later, sooner or later, we will touch the rules that bind us, go deep into the line, until we cross the bottom limit."

Ye Lu picked up a piece of gravel, the size of a palm, the gravel was covered with irregular cracks, and the white dust shook off slightly,

"Hey!"

Ye Lu shook it hard, and the gravel clattered into the shadows, and in the forest in the distance, a burst of birdsong sounded.

"What sound? Isn't it okay for you to 'run at night'? Am I bothering you? (〃?ω?)”

"That's not it, it's not interesting for me to run alone, I'll run with you next time."

Ye Lu's face did not change, he picked up a piece of gravel again, and said secretly: Where did so many stones come from on this highway? Even if the hovercar doesn't touch the ground, it shouldn't be.

Looking around again, Ye Lu noticed something unusual, in the moonlight, away from the road, near the position of the forest, there was a boulder, but it was in a broken state, and it seemed to be half missing.

Raising his hand and gesturing, Ye Lu listed many methods in line with this kind of destruction.

Although it is far from the city, it is not deserted, and there is a town behind the forest.

The target of Ye Lu's trip was the town behind the forest, and his feet were strong enough to walk along the road in one night.

But

As we all know, between two points, the straight line is the shortest.

Ye Lu planned to go straight through the forest, and besides, there might be something interesting in the forest.

Someone was spying on me just now, and it should have been hit.

Ye Lu found a gentle terrain and jumped directly off the road.

"To be honest, I also feel like I've set up a flag, and in the middle of the night, my curiosity has struck, and I break into the silent forest alone, and I find some evil ritual, or the villain's secret garden.

In the end, those who die cannot die again. ”

The communication was not over yet, Ye Lu was joking while hurrying, he still enjoyed the process of communicating with others, especially her.

"Isn't it? Isn't this the end of the dragon role? The ending of our water-word character is definitely stinky and long. ”

The strange answer couldn't hide the faint pleasure.

"The ending or something, as long as it meets your own expectations, you don't have to stick to the opinions of others, the words of others, and the ending under the absolute self is our real ending."

Ye Lu fell straight to the ground, the river beach on the side was wet, and the air was filled with the unique smell of the forest.

"Hmph, you guy, it's really ......"

Honk......

The communication hung up abruptly, Ye Lu was stunned for a moment, his finger raised slightly, as if he wanted to dial back, but this idea was quickly abandoned.

Tucking his phone into his pocket, Ye Lu began to walk up the river beach, which he had just seen on the road, the river that stretched down from the forest.

Squeak,

Squeak,

Ye Lu grabbed a handful of sand, dry like sand in the desert, without any moisture.

There is a high temperature that evaporates the water in an instant, but it does not reach the melting point......

Is the evaporation of water in a large area and the flow of the river broken?

Ye Lu approached the riverbank, and in the night, there was no trace of damage to the riverbed......

If it's not a high temperature, then it should be able to collect moisture or something.

Ye Lu touched his chin, and thought as he walked, if there was a battle of the Stranger here, there should not be no traces, of course, there should be afterthought.

But they left the stones, and the rubble on the road was not cleared, why is that?

Too late?

Or is there no way to clean it up at all?

Or is it disdainful?

Ye Lu finally walked in front of the gravel, almost as tall as the two of him, and more than three meters wide.

Ye Lu kicked on the bulge of the stone, grabbed the stone with one hand, and turned over.

"It should not be the impact of energy, the irregular edges and corners, and the cracks that are almost all over the surface."

Ye Lu stood on the boulder and took in the situation in a downward posture.

Ye Lu made a simple comparison, probably knowing the direction, from the forest all the way to the highway?

Ye Lu stepped on the boulder under his feet, then jumped off the boulder and continued towards the forest.

suddenly

Ye Lu felt something, and when he looked back, he saw a silver-white hovering car galloping past on the highway in the distance......

Looking at this?

Ye Lu raised his eyebrows, and it seemed that some demons and monsters had popped out again.

"In other words, will this be the standard routine in online novels, where the whereabouts of passers-by are accidentally leaked, villains chase and kill, and finally passers-by succeed in counter-killing."

Ye Lu muttered to himself, although no one was listening to him complaining, he would still talk, even if he listened to it himself.

Shout!

The mutation suddenly appeared, and several flying knives disappeared in the shadows, attacking Ye Lu!

Ye Lu raised his eyebrows, and immediately turned to attack, holding multiple black blades in both hands, and shot down all the flying knives.

"Assassins? A clown, how could someone be guarding like this? ”

Ye Lu's face did not change, he chuckled, and continued: "It was you just now, right?" Well, I should have hit, right? If you really win, then your professionalism is really not good. ”

Ye Lu glanced around, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he didn't have the strength to search for this so-called 'assassin'.

Ye Lu didn't stop, and continued to move towards the forest, waiting for the rabbit was too much time to kill, and taking the initiative to attack was the king.

The pace became faster and faster, and Ye Lu began to run, like a ghost at night, invisible and shadowless.

"Interesting, waiting for me here."

Ye Lu rushed straight into the shadows of the forest, the dense and heavy canopy blocking all the moonlight, losing all light, the real dark place.

While Ye Lu rushed into the forest, he also closed his eyes, human intuition is often more useful than vision.

What's more,

He was not very human, far from ordinary human intuition, almost a sixth sense, even a prophet of the enemy, like a fish in water in the dark.

Sparks splashed in all directions, and a brief blade exchange burst into a sparkling spark, illuminating a small shadow.

Ye Lu's figure flashed, wielding the multiple black blades in his hand, which were enough to shoot down the precision and power of the bullets, making him easily fly the flying knives that merged with the darkness.

Is it possible to have night vision?

At the same time, it is moving at high speed.

The deadly throwing knives that came from all directions were almost non-existent.

The leaves rattle and the night wind shines through the branches, free as a fairy.

Ye Lu shuttled through the forest, and the recent downpour made the forest full of damp smell, and the new branches and leaves in spring also exuded the fragrance of life.

Where?

Ye Lu glanced sideways slightly, the so-called high-speed movement was just a joke, and the killing intent that was almost like a bright light was very eye-catching.

Ye Lu stepped on the trunk of the tree, and then, upside down, Ye Lu walked on the ground, and in a few steps he went up to the canopy, leaving a few deep footprints.

Clang!

The arrows that rushed forward came through the gaps between the branches, and flew towards Ye Lu without leaking.

Ye Lu shook his right hand up and down, and shot a rain of arrows down under the tree, and sparks flew everywhere.

I see you.

Ye Lu rushed in one direction, constantly changing directions on the way, and finally pointed to the end point, which was nothing more than the stranger he had never met.

One chase and one escape, it seems to be a chase battle between hunters and prey, the absolute gap, that is an irreparable abyss.

Well?

The killing intent gradually disappeared, the light went out, and the 'vision' that disappeared in his intuition made Ye Lu lose his position.

Lost the will to fight?

How is it possible, is there any surprise waiting for me?

Ye Lu opened his eyes, the field of vision in front of him was no longer dark, and the bright moonlight sprinkled from the gaps in the branches, providing Ye Lu with a lot of light.

Bang Bang Bang Bang ......

The leaves rattle and a strong gale blows in front of you! The branches of the trees under the feet of the blowing leaves are crumbling.

What is it?

Ye Lu is as steady as Mount Tai, and it seems that he is not affected by the gale, but his clothes are hunting and clinging to his body.

Are you going to close combat?

The Assassin has opened the Peerless!

Ye Lu caught a flashing shadow out of the corner of his eye, riding the wind, constantly approaching him, and the small attacks used for interference were still endless.

Clang!

Clang!

After Ye Lu blocked a few flying knives again, he suddenly remembered, why don't I use this flying knife or arrow to fight back, the ready-made weapons are here, don't use them in vain, it's shameful to waste.

The plural black blades disintegrated in an instant, returning to their original shape, and the pitch-black light bloomed in the right hand, and in just a few breaths, it condensed into a pitch-black spear, and the silver-white chains that were brighter than the moonlight tightly wrapped around the spear body, intersecting and echoing the pitch-black spear body, forming a conspicuous contrast.

In his left hand, he carried the three throwing knives that he had snatched, which could be thrown at any time and turned into deadly throwing knives.

Wielding the spear, the simple skill of the spear shattered the incoming objects without exception.

Ye Lu no longer stays in place, and the branches that stop are already overwhelmed and will break at any time.

Leaping between the trees, Ye Lu walked with the wind, since the man was going to get close to him, it was not his style to wait for guests.

Here it comes!

A snow-white sword light lit up and slashed towards Ye Lu! From then on, the stranger who had never appeared before appeared.

Dressed in a black night suit, a bodysuit similar to the anime, her bumpy and convex Miaoman figure is vividly displayed, and a pair of slender legs are full of wild beauty.

Ye Lu tilted his head slightly, narrowly dodging the knife, and at the same time glanced up and down at the stranger.

On the night walker, there is a blood-colored texture on the left chest, a messy, irregular messy texture.

The tall twin peaks are natural, and they are the shape that can only be possessed by years of exercise and youth.

Ye Lu jumped backwards and threw out three flying knives at the same time, blocking the escape routes in three directions.

Then the scene made Ye Lu determine a lot of information.

Whew!

At that moment, the wind gathered like a tornado, revolving around the man, using her as the eye of the wind, and striking in all directions!

The ability to manipulate the wind?

Ye Lu didn't make up his mind too early, because some types of abilities can be blessed on others, as long as they are properly controlled, it is still no problem to add a buff with no side effects.

Just now, when she approached Ye Lu, the gale blowing from the front did not change direction, and the wind did not decrease.

Of course, it is not excluded that this person's mastery of abilities has reached the point of leaving the body, that is, leaving the level.

The formation of the ability is unknown, no one knows how it was formed, and thousands of years of exploration have always been a fog.

Abilities are singular, and the assigned ability can only exercise that single power from beginning to end, unless it goes beyond its limits, which is to move up.

Rank doesn't determine how strong an ability is, it just represents mastery and development of an ability.

Innate and acquired, these are opposites from beginning to end,

Ye Lu's body was as light as a swallow, stepping on the slender branches to maintain his body, keeping parallel to the man.

The wind grew stronger, the dense canopy was blown out of shape, countless leaves were blown down, and a 'rain of trees' began

Easily blowing off the big branch at the mouth of the bowl, the wind force has reached level eight, and Ye Lu finally saw the end of the wind.

A petite black-haired girl stood in the air, her warm thighs and knee-high black silk were extremely conspicuous.

Are they really two people......

Anyway, how are there two women, did I break into whose crystal palace? Will it be me who will hurt them both with great might, and then the angry hair who opened the harem will beat me to death.

There are still good people who are uneven on the road to help the two of them, and then I chase after them, looking like a villain.

Isn't that a trick......

muttering a few words in his heart, Ye Lu felt that the water was almost over, so he dealt with the matter in front of him first.

The spear shook and pierced straight through the trunk of the tree, and Ye Lu regarded it as a standing object, standing firmly on it.

Empty-handed, Ye Lu didn't have time to prepare a new weapon, because the tight-clad woman rushed over with the wind, and she was menacing.

What a hassle......

Ye Lu had a plan, since it was two people, it was natural to start from the source of interference, and it was not a matter of being blown by the wind all the time.

With a stomp on the soles of his feet, the pitch-black spear under his feet broke through the trunk of the tree and came out, and Ye Lu, who had lost his foothold, inevitably fell downward.

Holding it in his hand again, Ye Lu bowed slightly, stepped on the trunk of the tree, and exerted his strength, flying out like an arrow from the string, going up against the wind!

Whoosh!

The two short knives spun quickly, striking from above, Ye Lu forcibly twisted his body, and with the advantage of the spear, he flew the two short knives.

The tight-clad woman followed, not giving Ye Lu the slightest chance to breathe, the wind made her mobility greatly enhanced, and she could come and go in the air freely.

Very good!

Ye Lu's eyebrows rose, and he looked like he had the upper hand.

With a flick of his right hand, the spear snapped and split into tiny squares, which changed in an instant, and a slender chain extended from his right hand!

In his right hand, he holds a pitch-black pyramid carved in a delicate pattern, which is an interpretation of a certain story.

Sou!

The pitch-black chains were wrapped around a trace of silver and white, and they went straight to the tights woman directly above!

The chains are like dragons, free from the wind, and the wind passes through the holes, and cannot have a great impact on the chains that are in full swing.

In addition, the distance between the two at this time was already close, and the speed of Ye Lu's fall was far inferior to the speed of the pursuers, and the distance in the middle was always being shortened.

Until, this moment!

Jingle bells

With a crisp thud, the woman swung her twin knives quickly, and the wind around her contracted further, trying to interfere with the flexible chains.

It's a pity that nothing has been done, maybe a little longer, they can indeed avoid this chain, but unfortunately time is not enough, it all happened with bated breath.

Unsurprisingly, the chain wrapped around the woman's knife-wielding right hand, and at the same time jammed the short knife on the right hand, unable to move.

Ye Lu's right hand flipped over, wrapped around the chains, and pulled hard, speeding up the time for the two to get closer.

And the woman also knew that she couldn't escape, the chain on her right hand sank deep into the skin, and the night gown was directly torn open, revealing the white skin inside, and the skin gradually reddened, which was a sign of poor blood flow.

One second,

Two seconds,

Two seconds passed in a flash, Ye Lu took back most of the chains, and the woman finally came to him.

The wind around him still existed, the cold gale was whistling, and Ye Lu's clothes were almost torn.

However, Ye Lu was not afraid at all, with a flick of his right hand, he flipped up and down, and the woman was like a sandbag, and was smashed hard by Ye Lu on the trunk not far away, and the debris flew all over the place, and almost two people hugged the wide trunk in response, and the neat fracture point announced the truth.

When the woman was about to crash into the trunk of the tree and be hit hard, the gale that surrounded her body converged in one place, and the terrifying wind pressure cut through the trunk.

When the gale is tilted on one side, the wind pressure in other locations is naturally relatively weaker.

Ye Lu did not let go of this opportunity, when the gale was tilting, he pulled the woman violently, and pulled the woman over like a sandbag, and at the same time shook the chains, the slender chains were interlocked, like a snake dancing, trapping the woman in, and entangled her to death.

What about her abilities?

Dead or alive?

Thump!

Thump!

The two of them both landed, and Ye Lu took advantage of the situation to roll around twice, but fortunately there were old leaves and water beaches, and there were no sharp stones or anything like that.

The woman was hindered from moving and could only obediently slam herself on the ground, face to the ground.

The right hand was numb, which was the sequelae of being pulled for the third time, and the other parts were not much better, and they were more or less injured.

"Bah, it's always got you."

Ye Lu looked up somewhere, and in the dense canopy, there was a second person, that is, the petite girl.

Maybe it's an aunt or something......

The so-called 'legal Lori' doesn't often appear in the novel.,Age is up to standard.,Petite and lightly pushed.,It's still a tsundere or something.。

Anyway, tsundere has been outdated lately, right......

Ye Lu muttered two words secretly, and at the same time raised his right hand, the chain retracted wildly, and at the same time brought the woman who fell to the ground with him.

"It's better to turn off the ability, otherwise, I can't guarantee that this young lady will be able to drink tomorrow's drink."

Ye Lu said loudly, if it weren't for the ear problem, this decibel sound should be heard, right?

After all, the physical fitness of the supernatural is slightly better than that of ordinary people, and it is common for them to have five senses.

Sure enough, after Ye Lu finished speaking, no, just when he spoke, the wind around the woman disappeared, and the girl also slowly fell, standing on a branch that had not yet broken, looking at Ye Lu from a distance.

Vigilant, aren't you......

Ye Lu grabbed the tight-clad woman, and stared straight at Ye Lu with slightly purple pupils.

"What do you want to do?"

A slightly childish rebuke, the voice of a girl in a tree, the wind gathered again at that moment, in a spiral.

"Hostage! Otherwise, if you do something again, I won't have a headache, and I will take a shortcut at night and almost stab someone, can I be careless. ”

Ye Lu said with a look of surprise, and at the same time grabbed the woman's neck and poked her temporarily numb right hand, the crimson marks were so conspicuous.

It feels good.

"Miss, can you tell me your name? I can't always call you a woman in a night suit, or a woman in a straitjacket, it's rude, and the number of words in this way is not very pretty.

I don't even know the name. ”

"Lynchia, ahem......"

Lin Qiya said the name very honestly, although Ye Lu didn't quite believe in the authenticity of the name, but truthfulness is often not so important.

"Oh...... Miss Lin, by the way, is that young lady again? ”

Ye Lu glanced sideways slightly, his gaze turned to the girl in the tree again, the violent wind gradually subsided, and the unwilling expression made Ye Lu a little happy.

"Xu Xiang, hum ......"

Xu Xiang snorted coldly, obviously unhappy, but her every move was expressing her worry.

Aren't they the four surnames of the online article......

Ye Lu shook his head, and after asking his name, he turned on his attribute of being a friend of women.

Carefully helped Lynkia to the bottom of the tree, using the mountain of leaves as a mat.

"Let's talk, I'm in a hurry!"

Ye Lu also sat down, put his hand on Lin Qiya's neck, and said in a slow tone.
