Chapter 43 The Call of the Dark



Chu Ge could only feel the world spinning, and time seemed to be slowed down ten times. Steel bars, concrete, gravel, decorations and furniture in the building were all flying in front of his eyes.

The nerve reaction speed is delayed by a hundred times, as if falling into an endless swamp, I can only watch myself being submerged inch by inch, until finally, there is darkness.

The darkness is extremely short, and it seems to have gone through eternity, enough to suck the darkness of a person's life.

When he regained his consciousness, he found himself with his head down and his feet in the sky.

Wait, it's not him, it's the Impact Crusher, which plunged into the depths of the building along the huge gap, turned over at 180 degrees, and got stuck between the ruined walls.

Looking through the broken car window, there are criss-crossing steel bars, steel beams and prefabricated floors above, and the faint light that penetrates the dust is divided into pieces the size of fingernails, and the surroundings are so dark that it is impossible to see clearly , filled with sharp construction debris.

"Shushashasha..."

No matter the vehicle or the communication channel embedded in the combat suit, it was filled with noise, and the darkness isolated him from the outside world.

His mouth and nose were filled with viscous blood, his hands could still move, but there was a piercing pain in his left ankle. Judging from the experience of "Earth Warriors", even if it was not broken, it was at least severely sprained and unable to exert strength up.

Fortunately, he is still alive.

The cockpit was fairly solid, and he was also wearing a seat belt, and the flame combat suit had a certain buffering and protective effect, so he could survive such a severe collapse.

It's better to live than to die, it's good to live.

However, how long can you live?

In the darkness, Chu Ge showed his snow-white teeth, first he laughed silently like a kid, then smiled, and then wept faintly.

He regrets it.

He's... scared.

"What the hell are you acting like a hero? You are obviously not a professional rescuer, but you want to swell your face to make yourself fat, want to show off, and harvest some goddamn shock value. This is all right, enough shock, shit is about to come out!

"What the hell is going on in your mind? The first time an amateur rookie went to battle, he became a blockbuster, and won the cheers of the crowd and the favor of the beautiful citizens? How is it possible!

"Thinking about a few hours ago, I was still pretending to be that stuff on the bus very easily and happily, but now it has become like this. Who is to blame? Blame myself for forgetting the old saying, pretending to be that, and being struck by lightning!"

Chu Ge kept talking to himself, using this method to relieve his fear, but it was useless at all. The more he talked, the more he wanted to cry, and in the end, he really cried out.

"Mom...help me...I don't want to die..."

He curled up into a ball, gritted his teeth, and panted.

Thinking of his mother's last moments, lying on the hospital bed, as thin as a cat, but still firmly holding his hand, asking him to take good care of herself, Chu Ge's heart twitched again.

My mother is alive in the sky. Seeing him in such a mess, she must be more sad and heartbroken than him, right?

Do not……

"I can't die.

"I promised my mother that if I want to be famous and beautiful, I will buy an old house at home, and I will also buy a big villa facing the sea with spring flowers blooming, so that everyone will know how great Chu Yiran's son is!

"I still have a lot of things to do - I haven't controlled the largest steel monster on the planet, I haven't put on the most powerful power armor and have a good fight with the immortal cultivator, and I haven't made the whole world go crazy. Surprised!

"I haven't been to the highest mountain and the deepest sea on this planet, I haven't seen the infinite scenery of the Immortal Cultivation World and the Illusory Demon World, I haven't seen the future and the future of the future, how wonderful it looks like!

"I, I won't die, mom, I promised you that I will take good care of myself, I, I will, don't worry, don't worry."

Extreme fear squeezed out the remaining courage in Chu Ge's heart. He stared fiercely at the dim light outside, "I want to live!"

Chu Ge seemed to be back in the game and was chased away by the immortal cultivator.

Died more than a thousand times, and finally died in the glory days that never died.

It was also like facing the monster in green robe that day, under the shadow of death, squeezing every brain cell dry, thinking about the possibility of survival.

There are 153 points of shock energy left.

He did not hesitate to input one hundred of them into his mind.

The golden light spots danced cheerfully in the gullies of the brain, nourishing the brain cells. Although it could not instantly increase his "wisdom", it was enough to calm him down, allowing the central nervous system to properly secrete various hormones, improve physical fitness, and relieve pain.

The good news is that he has only sunk down one or two floors, and the ruins covering the surrounding walls are not completely sealed. As long as he squeezes through some narrow areas, many corridors and rooms can still be walked, no, crawled.

This is also the style of most buildings in the Era of Calamity. It adopts a separate and independent structure similar to a "watertight cabin". Even if a part of it collapses, it will not affect the whole.

The bad news is that the ground is still shaking slightly, the smell of burning is coming from a distance, and the sound of metal fatigue can be vaguely heard, which means that something is burning deep in the ruins, and perhaps the fire will spread soon It's here, and the possibility of continuing to fall is not ruled out.

Chu Ge thought again of that weird black flame, which seemed to have life, baring its teeth and claws, devouring the flesh and soul of human beings—is that the culprit?

Chu Ge forced himself to put this problem behind him, checked the console, and found that the impact crusher was completely paralyzed.

No time to be discouraged, he pulled out a toolbox from under the driver's seat, looked around, licked the blood stains at the corner of his mouth, cleaned the broken glass from the rear window, dragged his swollen left leg, and crawled out—the gap behind It is the largest, enough for an adult to walk through, and it also faintly shimmers with orange light, like the flash of "Cancer Power Armor".

It would be great if it was really a rescuer, Chu Ge silently prayed for God and his mother to bless him.

As a result, half and half, among God and mother, one must have blessed him, while the other did not.

It was indeed a rescuer, wearing Cancer Power Armor but no helmet, falling into a coma, unable to protect himself.

There was no road ahead, and the gaps between the ruins could not even be penetrated by children, and violence had to be demolished.

Chu Ge looked at the unconscious rescuer and found that they looked familiar. After thinking for a while, that's right, it was the buddy who questioned him at first and then vomited on his knees.

It seemed that after the guy vomited, he still felt uncomfortable. Lei Sanpao said to take a rest, so he squatted down to breathe fresh air without wearing a helmet. As a result, he encountered a second landslide, without enough protection for his head, and was knocked unconscious.

This is still luck, such a severe landslide, without a helmet, there is no reason to flatten your head-so, illegal operation is a big deal, you have to wear a hard hat when you enter the construction site, and you are even a famous college student!

Chu Ge sighed. After all, they just worked together to rescue many survivors. Now they are all fallen people in the world, so why bother.

With some saliva on his fingers, he sniffed and found that although the buddy's breathing was weak, it wasn't too disturbed, and his cervical spine didn't seem to be twisted. Chu Ge felt relieved and wanted to move him into the cockpit of the impact crusher. There is a layer of iron shell protection.

But this buddy is wearing thick power armor, even if the battle suit has a certain power storage function, Chu Ge can't move it.

Fortunately, he has practiced, and picking up power armor in the game is no longer a piece or two. The real "Cancer" also has an external button for putting on and taking off, which is convenient for helping the wounded.

Chu Ge found the elliptical cover set under the breastplate, first pressed it down lightly, then hooked it, lifted it, and finally pulled it out heavily, only to hear a sound of "哧—" and dozens of beams sprayed out from inside the power armor. The white air flow slowly bloomed like a crab claw chrysanthemum, exposing the unconscious driver.

Chu Ge used up all the strength to feed the baby, so he moved the buddy back into the cockpit and fixed it with a seat belt.

Fortunately, this buddy is also wearing a flame battle suit, with calming, medical, and nutritional potions, which can take care of him for a while, otherwise Chu Ge doesn't know how to save him.

Although it is safe for the time being, it is not a problem for the two of them to curl up in the small cockpit and wait to die. If the building collapses completely or continues to fall, it will be terrible.

"The fire in the factory area is more serious than here, and those who cannot be rescued in a while must find ways to save themselves.

"The black flame must be weird, it won't leave me too much time, I have to climb up to it and make a way out!

"However, the surrounding area is blocked by reinforced concrete, and there are no powerful enough demolition tools. How can I escape this confined space?

"The impact crusher is finished. There is only a small toolbox in the car. It is impossible to break through such a hard ruin with a wrench and a screwdriver. I must find a stronger machine, a stronger..."

Chu Ge stopped talking.

My mind was buzzing, and I heard a call from somewhere.

His eyes fell on the back of the car, the direction where the orange light came from.

That is - the power armor that is blooming and waiting for a new master!
