Chapter 16 It’s twelve o’clock tonight!
The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier.
Thunder roared.
On the ninety-third floor of Guangming United Manufacturing Technology Company, there is a temporary storage room for experimental items.
Wu Xiaode squatted on the ground and was talking to the crow in the iron cage.
"Quack?" he asked.
"...Gah?" the crow in the iron cage said hesitantly.
"Gah, gah gah!" Wu Xiaode looked upright and made wavy lines with his hands, like white stripes in the waves.
"Quack, quack!" The crow in the iron cage cheered and flapped its wings on the spot.
"Gah——"
The crow possessed by Wu Xiaode wanted to continue talking, but was stopped by Wu Xiaode.
"Okay, just express yourself appropriately. If you do too much, it will make people disgusted. Save her quickly." Wu Xiaode suggested.
"It makes sense, save her now." Crow nodded quickly.
Wu Xiaode stretched out his hand and pulled on both sides of the iron cage——
The cage opened immediately.
"Quack! Ah!" The crow flew out of the cage, landed on his head, and pecked his head gently.
Wu Xiaode pointed to the night sky outside the window and encouraged: "Quack, quack, quack."
"Gah...quagga?" Crow asked in a low voice.
"Gah, crow, gah." Wu Xiaode said.
The crow pecked him again, spread its wings, and flew away through the window.
Waited for a few breaths.
Crow reappeared on Wu Xiaode's shoulder, looking extremely excited.
"What were you talking about at the end?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"She asked me who I was," Crow said.
"That's it." Wu Xiaode said.
"We, the crow clan, are friends of death. In the future, she will turn into a spirit and will definitely come back to me." Crow said.
"It seems that things went well." Wu Xiaode smiled.
"Brother, thank you. If you have anything to do in the future, call me anytime. It's my duty." Crow said gratefully.
"Easy to say, easy to say."
"Shall we go?"
"Wait a minute, I remember there should be two cages in this storage room."
Wu Xiaode walked to the other wall, drew pictures of the gourd and opened it.
I saw that there was indeed a huge iron cage here, which contained an extremely beautiful white peacock.
"Fancy guy." Crow said in a contemptuous tone.
"Forget it, since it's here, let it go." Wu Xiaode said.
He grabbed the iron bars with both hands, exhaled loudly, and completely opened the cage.
When the white peacock saw it, he immediately jumped out of the cage and flew directly to the window sill.
"Can it survive on its own? In this steel forest, can it find a direction to fly out?"
Wu Xiaode asked.
"Yes, it's not a farmed peacock. It comes from an extremely remote wild place and is generally not easily caught. I don't know how it ended up here," Crow said.
"Why else? Someone will catch you."
After Wu Xiaode finished speaking, he took a step forward and kicked Peacock on the butt.
The peacock was frightened by this, immediately spread its wings, jumped out, and flew far away.
Soon.
The peacock disappeared into the vast night rain.
"Since you were so focused on saving it, why did you kick its butt just now?" Crow asked in confusion.
"Let it know that people's hearts are sinister. From now on, if you see someone, run away and don't get caught again." Wu Xiaode said.
"...That's okay." Crow reluctantly said.
Wu Xiaode shook his head and fell into thought.
I really don’t know what this company does.
According to the knowledge and memories of Xia Huilan and her colleagues, this is obviously the place where mobile armors are manufactured.
But why are these special animals used?
And there are so many undead.
Really——
The fog is heavy.
Wu Xiaode took out his cell phone and took a look.
11 o'clock.
——It's late at night.
I don't have that much time to figure out what's going on with this technology company. After all, the people have been killed and the undead have been comforted.
Also gained 1 point of merit.
Right now I have more important things to do.
"Binjiang Road, God of Cookery Restaurant..."
That road is very unfamiliar.
Wu Xiaode opened the navigation on his mobile phone and looked at the map for a long time.
"Can't find the place?" Crow asked.
"Yes, I turned on the navigation to avoid flying to the wrong place." Wu Xiaode frowned.
"Let's go!" Crow said.
Wu Xiaode jumped out of the window and turned into a crow and soared into the sky.
In the sky, a charming female voice sounded from time to time:
"The estimated driving time is: 31 minutes. You will pass through seventeen traffic lights, of which seven hundred meters will be driven slowly."
"Please turn left at the second intersection."
"Drip!"
"Turn left."
As the crow flew higher and higher, the sound gradually became inaudible.
……
Five minutes later.
Binjiang Road.
On the street outside the God of Cookery Restaurant.
A crow circled in the air several times, finally selected a telephone pole and landed.
The rain began to fall again.
The cold wind ruffled the crow's feathers.
The crow fluttered its feathers, not caring about the wind and rain.
"You have reached your destination in time -"
The sound of the mobile phone was cut off by the crow.
It stood quietly on the telephone pole, always looking in a certain direction.
——This place is not far from Room 308 of the restaurant. Across the street, you can just see what's going on inside.
Looking through the window, several men were smoking and playing cards in high spirits.
Some people actually took a look outside.
He was a middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion and a burly body. He had an air of calmness and authority when he sat there, and others spoke to him with a somewhat flattering tone.
When he found a crow sitting on a telephone pole outside, the middle-aged man stopped paying attention and looked down at the cards in his hand.
After a while.
The box door opens.
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked into the box, said something politely, and then placed a black suitcase on the table.
Someone got up and walked to the window to close the curtains.
"What are you afraid of? I'm in charge of these things, and you still draw the curtains."
A voice sounded from the room.
Others laughed.
The man was neither pulling nor pulling. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black spot that kept getting bigger.
Wow——
The windows were smashed into scattered pieces.
A figure passed by the man and patted him gently on the neck.
Amidst the sound of bones shattering, the figure had already landed in the room, his figure swinging like a whirlwind, and his hands turned into several phantoms, striking everyone continuously.
——Iron Wire Fist· Throwing Strength!
The main point of this boxing technique is to knock people away and gain fighting space for yourself.
Five people.
One had his neck broken, and of the remaining four, three were beaten away.
The last one was the burly man. He had already stood up when the window shattered. When Wu Xiaode came over, he waved his fists to meet him and said with a sinister smile:
"How dare such a wanted criminal come to trouble me?"
Snap!
The sound is like thunder.
The two exchanged a hand and each took a step back.
"Huh?" Wu Xiaode looked at the other party with wide eyes.
It's incredible, this guy can actually block his own swing driven by his soul power.
The burly man's face turned white for a while, he rushed forward, and with his knife-like hands, he slashed at Wu Xiaode continuously.
Wu Xiaode had countless battle experiences passed down from the ancestors of the Zhao family in his heart, so he calmly stretched out his hand to deal with it.
But at this moment, he suddenly found that his body seemed to become more agile.
The opponent's hand knife is quite sharp, but I am confident that I can dodge it.
Could it be... the "secondary dexterity" from the crow spirit?
Wu Xiaode simply refused to take the move, swaying his body back and forth like a strong bamboo swinging in the wind and rain, and easily passed the opponent's seven or eight blows.
"䱱——"
The burly man was frightened and angry, but the attack became more chaotic and he still couldn't get close to Wu Xiaode.
On the contrary, Wu Xiaode finally found a flaw after watching a few of his moves. He immediately put his long-prepared fists together and swung them towards the opponent like a giant hammer.
Iron wire fist·thumping strength!
Among the six techniques of Iron Thread Boxing, the destructive power of Chuijing is quite fierce. If you really want to compare it, only the secret "Iron Hands Blocking the River" is more powerful than it.
Therefore, this technique consumes quite a lot of soul power to perform.
Lines of small ice crystal characters appeared on the Book of the Dead:
"You used Iron Wire Fist and Throwing Strength, which cost 1 point of soul power."
"You used Iron Wire Fist and Beating Strength, which cost 3 points of soul power."
"Remaining soul power: 0/4."
A faint cold light appeared on Wu Xiaode's fists, which looked like rings of iron hands.
The man changed his color and said: "Iron wire beating method!"
His moves were old, and when the opponent caught his flaw, he had no time to dodge. He could only put up his hands and try his best to meet Wu Xiaode.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, the man was beaten back seven or eight steps and hit the wall with a muffled sound.
The man spit out a mouthful of blood, his hands trembled, and shouted: "Stop! I didn't know you were the descendant of Iron Wire Fist, otherwise I would never want you."
The crow flew out from Wu Xiaode's shoulder and flew around the recently dead bodies on the ground.
"All for you, brother fuck him."
Crow shouted.
Along with its cry, a line of small words quietly appeared on the Book of the Dead:
"The crow has absorbed 2 points of soul power for you, and the current soul power is 2/4."
Wu Xiaode felt more confident and said, "Who are you?"
"I am the successor of the Baji Sword sect," the man said.
"Chief of the Defense Administration?" Wu Xiaode asked uncertainly.
"Exactly, you and I are both practitioners of ancient martial arts, and we should take care of each other. Give me some time, and I will withdraw the wanted order." The man said.
"Not enough." Wu Xiaode said.
The man thought for a while and suddenly said: "From now on, at twelve o'clock every night, we can work together as a team. I believe you also want to have one more helper."
——What is this person talking about? Is your brain sick?
"What do you mean?" Wu Xiaode asked calmly.
"At this stage, almost no one's soul power can exceed 10 points. This is because everything has just begun, so if you are willing, you can join my team and we will face the terror of 12 o'clock together," the man said.
Wu Xiaode tilted his head and thought for a moment, then opened his fists again.
"What are you doing? Little brother, in fact, we don't have to be harmonious at all." The man said.
"No matter how scary it is at twelve o'clock at night, I won't trust my back to someone like you." Wu Xiaode said.
"I used to think you were an ordinary person, but now that everyone's identities are open to the public, why would you risk your life?" the man yelled.
Wu Xiaode sighed and said softly: "You can order the arrest of a poor student, but how many ordinary people have been treated like this by you over the years?"
"Remember, I will kill you today not just for myself."
He clenched his fists and walked towards the other party.
The man suddenly took out a pistol from his waist and was about to pull the trigger when his eyes flashed and Wu Xiaode disappeared.
"Where are the people?"
The man's expression changed drastically, he turned around and was about to rush out the door, but found that a crow had just transformed into a human form, blocking the door, and punched him in return.
Snap!
The man was caught off guard and punched in the face.
Iron Fist·Push!
The man spun and flew out, rolling to the other end of the room before stopping.
He is dead.
"Ga! Ga!"
The crow flew up excitedly and flapped its wings on the corpse.
This man is quite strong. He can still catch Wu Xiaode's two punches with all his strength. He is considered a master among mortals.
His soul power should be higher than ordinary people.
Bang——
The corpse fell to the ground, and soon emitted some flickering light spots, which disappeared into the crow's wings.
At the same time, a line of small ice crystal characters also appeared on the Book of the Dead:
"The crow has given you some harvest."
"Your upper limit of soul power has been increased by 1 point, and you have received several points of supplementary soul power."
"The current soul power value is: 5/5." (End of this chapter)
