Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 290 Cutting off the Storm
Only when you are here and witness the storm that covers the sky with your own eyes can you truly realize the power of nature and the insignificance of yourself.

The sky seemed to collapse, and endless gravel flowed with the wind, turning into a turbid storm that swallowed everything. Driven by the terrifying kinetic energy, the earth burst into a series of chaotic scratches, which were the traces of the gravel breaking apart.

Then came darkness.

It was as if a curtain had been drawn, and the raging sandstorm had blocked out most of the light. It was clearly noon, and the world, which should have been brightly lit, had fallen into deep darkness. As far as the eye could see, the only place that could be touched by one's five fingers was visible.

The disastrous consequences of the Seven Lands War, including the slaughter of high-level psychics, the abuse of various strategic weapons, and the extinction of massive amounts of life, were clearly felt in the world.

If we use the terminology used by the Pan-Eastern Continental Federation, most of today's "wasteland" has fallen into a state of collapse of earth veins, disorder of the four seasons, and residual resentment. This is both the reason for the high frequency of extreme climate and the driving force behind the latter's increased intensity.

Quiet.

No, it should be said that the howling of the sandstorm covered up all other sounds, leaving only this one sound of "quiet" in the world at this moment.

If this sandstorm continues to intensify and spread, when it reaches its peak energy level, it may even overturn armored vehicles easily. Even though it is still in the birth and growth stage, it still shows some of the power of a natural disaster.

“Song Shi——?!”

Bart's roar was torn into pieces by the violent airflow the moment it came out.

He was shocked and angry, and wanted to say something, but his eyes suddenly widened.

In the reflection of Ziyi's pupil, the young man did not look back, but walked in front of everyone with a knife in hand.

flame.

——A red-gold sea of ​​fire suddenly burst out and swelled with the wind!

At first, it was the suppression of [Sui Shi]. In the face of individual spiritual energy, the mighty force of nature, the originally raging storms began to slow down and relax.

Then came [Rendering] and [Prairie Fire]. The properties of the visible sand and invisible wind were changed at the same time, as if they had become gunpowder and pure oxygen. Just a tiny spark could spread instantly and start a raging fire.

The hair is flying.

Song Shi turned his five fingers slightly, and the flame of forging surged towards Chongshi.

In the next moment, a flash of flame shattered the strong wind and burned the gravel.

Towards the center of the sandstorm ahead, a tornado column that stretched from sky to earth rushed straight in!

——clang.

Suddenly, there seemed to be the sound of a blade being drawn, but one tenth of a second later, the sound turned into a roaring flame rising into the sky.

At this moment, the flames rising into the sky and the storm raging across the world were all forcibly melted away, and the fierce light became stronger, illuminating the earth that was originally in darkness.

But then, the flame tide suddenly collapsed.

In other words, with a certain point as the center, they all collapse inward.

The surging flame flow was in a counter-rotating state, condensing and condensing again, until finally, the huge flame tide of the previous moment disappeared, and was replaced by a line of fire that penetrated hundreds of meters, dragging a red-gold burning mark!

But at this moment, from this "line", a blazing flame that was even more intense than the previous flame burst out. The red-gold color seemed to be flowing like gilded magma, and it burst out with a scorching brilliance that was difficult to look directly at.

Then the raging storm burst open a crack, and then suddenly expanded, bursting into red-gold flames, engulfing in all directions, burning and stirring the sandstorm!

From a ray of burning light, terrifying spiritual energy rose violently.

Everything is clear.

The dim curtain suddenly melted away, revealing the blue sky behind it. The sunlight slanted down, illuminating the world again.

When I breathed again, all that was left was the hot wind blowing past my ears.

In the center of the melting earth, Song Shi stood, looking at everything in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"Why would you use a fire seed?" Lapis Lazuli's voice sounded: "This is an unnecessary and irrational additional consumption."

It set up a gravity field to resist impact for Bart and the others and their vehicles, and then flew over.

Hearing the other person's voice behind him, Song Shi did not show any surprise.

"Without the fire." He turned his head slightly and lowered his voice: "One strike alone won't be enough to kill it all, but in this situation, a second strike, uh, that's not the case."

While Lapis Lazuli was thinking about what this sentence meant, Song Shi turned around and walked back to his original position.

"-- continue on the road, or take a rest for a while?" Song Shi extinguished the flame, put away the heavy gun, knocked on the car door, and looked at Bart and the other two who were still in a daze.

"This is the spiritual power of the third ring."

After a long while, a bitter voice was heard.

Bart took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead hard: "Dayuan, fire, the Battle of Zhuguang City, and the name 'Song Shi'. I should have thought of it earlier."

Song Shi spread his hands and laughed: "I didn't hide it."

"If you are... Nandou."

Shichiro was shocked. He subconsciously looked at Lapis Lazuli and said with awe, "Then you should be the 'Kiwame Dangerous Gravity User'."

"It seems like the effect is pretty good, it's really made a name for itself." Song Shi said in surprise, "I was thinking that it's time to endorse a drink co-branded with you."

"You should call me 'Lapis Lazuli'."

Lapis Lazuli, who had just returned from flying, emphasized and said, "I would like to know what you, Ye Nan, think about intelligent machines."

It added: "I have seen some information on this, but I also need to know your practical views."

Being asked this question unexpectedly, Qilang was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he sorted out his words: "Mr. Lapis Lazuli, there are great differences among us, and we do not have a unified attitude towards the intelligent machines. But speaking of our part, at least the colleagues I have come into contact with, it basically doesn't matter."

While Lapis Lazuli was doing his research, Bart had already bitten into an energy bar.

He leaned against the motorcycle, chewing angrily and sighing: "Damn it, such an exaggerated thing can actually happen to me."

During the rest of the journey, Bart and the other two were noticeably more relaxed, speaking without as much hesitation as they had at first.

Song Shi found out that Ye Nan's current border actions were just to maintain a "restless" posture, and essentially they did not intend to actually start a war.

This is consistent with my memories of my previous life.

Now is a rare era of peace. In my impression, it will take at least five or six years for all parties to start a full-scale war again. Even if the outcome of the Battle of Zhuguang City changes, it will not have much impact on the direction of the current world situation.

The group traveled together for three days, and when they arrived at a broken cliff, it was time to separate.

Going further, they would be close to the border of the Pan-Eastern Continental Federation. After a few detours, they would enter Fengzhou County. The task of Bart and the other two was to travel westward to survey and investigate the wasteland over there.

"Marvin, pass the stuff over."

Bart stood in the shadow of the rock wall and turned his head and shouted.

"Things?" Song Shi raised his eyebrows.

"This is a map of the wasteland, specially provided by our Rangers." Bart said, "Aren't you going to Fengzhou? Now it is said that we are almost at the Pan-Eastern Continental Union, but there is still a long way to go. This thing can help you save a lot of time. Of course, don't think too much. I definitely can't give you the complete version. It only includes this part of the route."

"Besides." Bart paused and said seriously, "Are you really not going to consider joining our Ye Nan?"

Song Shi laughed.

"I told you, I'm not a rapist."

"With your ability, as long as you join Ye Nan, I guarantee that there will be plenty of--" Bart wanted to persuade him again, but looking at the other party, he suddenly got stuck and couldn't say the next word. The man had to smile bitterly and raised his hand: "Okay, okay. That's fine."

So both sides waved goodbye, and then went in their respective directions, stepped into the wasteland and moved forward again.

".Do you think I should have persisted a little longer just now?"

Looking at the billowing smoke and dust that gradually disappeared at the end of the horizon, Bart suddenly spoke.

"Is it necessary to go to this extent?" Hearing this, Marvin was stunned for a moment: "Although he is indeed very powerful, we in Ye'nan are definitely not short of powerful talents. Forget about anything else, think about Bartholomew! He was even praised by the clan leader——"

"You are not a psychic, so your understanding is not complete." Bart shook his head and looked at the prosthetic limb that had long been transformed into a "super organ". "Tsk, damn, such a young third ring, and the strength is also seriously scary. You don't understand what this means."

"If we can't kill this kind of person early or win him over."

The man's voice was lost in the wind and sand.

"Then never make an enemy of it."
