For Ningchuan City, this old-fashioned housing area in the south of the city is like a callus that has fallen off half of a person's body. It has obviously lost its effect on the body, but it is reluctant to leave and self-disappear. It can only be like a dog skin plaster. Tightly clinging and lingering, even if a large number of migrant workers have poured in in recent years, it cannot hide the sense of powerlessness and decay revealed by this housing area.

Chengnanfang District may be dying, or it may be really dead.

Like after a heavy snowfall, the ground was covered with thick embers, and the surrounding old-fashioned residential buildings looked gloomy. The small advertisements on the walls were not as eye-catching as they used to be, and many places were stained with clear bloodstains. These bloodstains had already dried up and lost their moisture, and Chen Xian could also smell the fishy smell from them.

That's the smell of human blood.

Passing through the alley, Chen Xian took Lu Yisheng to a path outside the central square. Everything he saw looked like some kind of doomsday scene.

The air here seems to be worse than that in the alleyway. Even if there are no tall buildings on all sides of the square, the air circulation is not comparable to that of the alleyway.

Perhaps it was the smoke and dust left in the air after the embers decomposed. Those black floating ash kept fluttering in the wind, almost covering the sky visible above Chen Xian and the others. Many red lights were seen through the thick dust in the air.

Those crimson rays of light were like apocalyptic revelations, and they pierced through the dust and cast down from the sky, turning the entire room as red as blood.

This seems to be a scene of doomsday, and it seems to be a scene that only appears in hell.

Everything is red.

Nearby houses, streets full of dust and embers, zombie cars parked on the side of the road that have not been started for many years... Everything they can see is covered with this eerie red light. shadow.

By this time, Chen Xian had to wear a breathing mask. Although he was not afraid of the mutation of yin and yang particles outside, he would not be in danger even if he didn't wear a mask to breathe, but... these dust gave him a headache. .

When he breathes, the black dust will enter his lungs down his nose, and then there will be a burning pain in the lungs.

Chen Xian is not afraid of death, but he is still the same as ordinary people, very resistant to pain, after all, from a certain point of view, he is still a very normal person.

"Boss...Are you sure we want to go..." Lu Yisheng was wearing a mask but still seemed worried, for fear of inhaling the harmful dust in the air, so when he spoke, he also Covering the bulging breathing device on his mouth with his hand, as if this would allow the mask to isolate more black dust, "Is the disparity between the two of us a little big..."

Before coming to the central garden, Lu Yisheng had imagined the terrifying scenes that would appear here, but it was only an imagination with his brain, not a real sight with his eyes.

At this moment, Lu Yisheng had only one thought.

run!

The faster you run, the better!

The farther away from here the better!

So many paper figurines... even if you give us three heads and six arms, we can't stand it!

"Don't worry, let's take a look first." Chen Xian said calmly, seeming to sense the change in Lu Yisheng's mood, and then comforted him, "If the situation is not right, we will withdraw immediately. It's a big deal that the case will not be solved."

Hearing this, Lu Yisheng was a little calmer, but the physiological reaction caused by fear still made his body tremble uncontrollably.

The area of ​​the garden square in the housing area is not small, about two or three thousand square meters. It is roughly a regular square. There are eight passages that can enter the central area. In the center of the square is a circular open space covered with cobblestones. , where there is an extremely conspicuous huge stone fountain sculpture, surrounded by many flower ponds that act as greenery.

Before this disaster, it should have been a peaceful scene, but now...

The plaza was covered in embers and black dust falling from the sky, and the plants in the flower ponds were all withered and withered, leaving only a disturbing twig left.

Everything here seems to have come to an end. The breath of death is tightly shrouded in the dark sky of the square. There are no traces left by human activities in the square. What can be seen at a glance is only the countless numbers in the square. paper man.

These paper figures seem to be silently waiting for something, and they seem to be carrying out an incomprehensible and mysterious "activity". They are crowded with each other, standing rubbing shoulders in the square, all with their backs to the center of the square. The eight entrances stood motionless and did not make any sound, eerily quiet.

After visual inspection, Chen Xian roughly counted the number of these paper figures.

two thousand.

Even three thousand.

This is definitely much more than the batch of paper figurines seen by the Armed Forces Section.

"The place where the Armed Forces fought with those paper figurines...isn't it right there?" Lu Yisheng asked suddenly, raising his finger to an open space in the northeast.

The area is about 500 meters away from the center of the square. There are obvious traces of explosion. There are several huge pits on the ground. The surrounding buildings have also turned into dilapidated ruins. Even at a distance of nearly a thousand meters, Chen Xian could smell the smell of gunpowder wafting over there.

"Can you find that person's location?" Chen Xian asked, the voice coming through the breathing mask was a little dull.

Lu Yisheng glanced down at the wooden man, and saw that it turned its head left and right, as if to determine the location of the murderer behind the scenes. The red light on his face was constantly flashing violently, and the electronic beep beep beep beep sound also kept ringing.

After half a minute, the wooden man raised his head, looked at Chen Xian and Lu Yisheng, and then raised his finger to the fountain sculpture in the center of the square.

"Are you sure you're there?" Lu Yisheng glanced over there with a little fear, and with the last glimmer of hope, he cautiously said to the wooden man, "Would you like to re-sensing? Maybe it's your sensing error? ?"

Hearing Lu Yisheng's words, the wooden man was very unhappy, as if he felt that Lu Yisheng didn't believe in him, so he patted his chest with a loud bang, and then raised his finger to the sculpture, meaning Is definitely there not where I eat shit.

"Fuck."

Lu Yisheng was suddenly desperate, and couldn't help but opened his mouth and cursed, which was probably the most frightening swear word he scolded in his life. Even Chen Xian could hear the unconcealed fear in his tone.

It's normal to be afraid at this time, and Chen Xian understands it. After all, seeing so many paper figures...not afraid is weird.

"Boss... why don't we withdraw..." Lu Yisheng once again stepped back and glanced at Chen Xian secretly. Seeing that he was eager to try, he hurried. Persuaded, "You don't want to kill from the pile of paper figurines, do you? These thousands of enemies are here, and we can all drown with one spit. You must think twice!"

Chen Xian didn't answer Lu Yisheng's words, and glanced left and right silently, as if to determine the next plan, and he couldn't see the slightest idea of ​​retreating from his eyes.

Just when Lu Yisheng was about to persuade him again, Chen Xian suddenly spoke up.

"You should have played an e-sports game of tactical confrontation, right?"

When Chen Xian asked this sentence, he used an affirmative tone. Without waiting for Lu Yisheng to answer, he immediately said: "A team needs multiple occupations to complete, and now we will assign occupations."

"Brother, don't make trouble." Lu Yisheng trembled even more, because in his opinion, the current Chen Xian is absolutely crazy, and he still talks about LOL with the gameplay of Dota at any time, "You can't do it at this juncture. Scare me!"

"You are a spell tank now. Find a way to help me attract the enemy's hatred value. It's better to draw their attention away, and leave the rest to me." Chen Xian said, watching very seriously. Lu Yisheng said, "I'm an assassin. I'll be responsible for killing the person hiding inside. If the plan goes well, this case will be closed."

"If it doesn't go well, do we have to be tied up by him?" Lu Yisheng was about to cry, "It's better for you to make me a meat shield than to make me a shooter, at least I can be safe from that distance. You are determined to let me die!"

Chen Xian frowned, his brain circuit seemed to be at odds with Lu Yisheng, and said coldly, "You can't be a shooter."

"Why??" Lu Yisheng asked with red eyes.

"Isn't it the shooter?" Chen Xian pointed to the little wooden man on the ground and said, "Luban No. 8, you took it."

Lu Yisheng: "..."
