The red light covered all the ground and disappeared in a flash.
Although it is only for a moment, the contract-abolishing "petrification" disease uses red light as a medium. As long as you are exposed to red light in the blink of an eye, your muscles will be petrified.
Fortunately, everyone had rehearsed various scenarios in the pre-war meeting, otherwise such an unexpected blow might have wiped out the entire Punisher army.
After seeing Ai Liang's action of integrating crystals into electrical equipment, Mo Bo also noticed that Beate Nanni, the Shouyang Witch King who was fighting against Zong Baiyi, also quickly activated her ability, causing the trampled wooden vines under her feet to quickly extend online.
In the blink of an eye, a sealed hollow wooden ball was formed, completely surrounding her.
Unpredictable activated the "Guanglan Shield" almost at the same time as the warning. Judging from Shouyang Witch King's response, this is in line with one of the pre-war rehearsals - as long as the red light can be blocked, one will not be "petrified"
disease” impact.
Other teammates also resisted. Captain Vera immediately held the "Annihilation" bracelet to dissipate the talisman sources in the surrounding area.
This is undoubtedly the most reliable means of defense. No matter what form the "petrifying disease" is spread in, it cannot function within the scope of "annihilation".
However, she really wanted to pull Luo Qing, who was moving in the same direction as her, and wanted to pull Luo Qing into the scope of "annihilation".
Luo Qing also noticed something was wrong. His long-term cooperation with Vera made him subconsciously turn into smoke and quickly float towards Vera. However, before he could enter the annihilation range, he was drowned by red light.
"Luo Qing~~" Captain Vera roared.
Let her run towards Luo Qing quickly, trying to close the distance between the two, but she failed to see Luo Qing's aerosolized body turn into a human form again before the red light was activated - if Luo Qing successfully entered the realm of "annihilation"
Within the scope, his contract ability will expire and he will turn into human form again. This is a safe signal.
faster!
Faster!
It's a pity that I couldn't do it
Captain Vera only saw a look of horror and regret on Luo Qing's hazy face, as if she had countless words to say to her, but no sound came out.
For a moment, Captain Vera was filled with grief and anger, and instantly thought of the worst result, a result that she could not even imagine.
She is like a punch that shatters the ground, but because she is in the center of "Annihilation" at this time, she does not have the steel body given by the contract.
The red light recedes instantly
In front of her eyes, the familiar figure of smoke appeared.
At the same time, she saw that the hazy expression of the smoke was still full of fear and astonishment, but at this moment, she unexpectedly had a strong surprise.
If Luo Qing hadn't turned into smoke and couldn't make a sound, this kid might have laughed out loud.
He was surprised to escape the disaster because his body turned into smoke at this time
Any contract ability has limitations. This limitation is not only due to the existence of cost, but also has objective prerequisites——
The premise of the contract ability "Petrification Disease" is the petrification of muscles, and it is the muscles inside the body. Everyone in the Supervisory Office failed to find any record of this contract-abolishing ability in the files, and they were not aware of this.
Vera didn't know this premise either.
Luo Qing, who had turned into smoke, had no muscles inside his body at this time. With only smoke, he accidentally escaped the fatal attack of the "petrification disease". And his surprise at this time was not only about surviving the disaster, but also
Because he accidentally saw the panicked Vera.
This is an expression he has never seen on Vera's face, at least an expression she has never shown to him! This panic is not just the captain's concern for the team members, but also has some very special meaning.
This kind of emotion is written on Vera's face, and it is so obvious - after the deep regret, panic, and unwillingness, there is the anger of losing an extremely important, family member.
This is the response!
This is the response I have been giving silently!
Vera Alexandra, a woman with an extremely tough appearance and heart, loves him! She puts him in the position he dreams of.
Luo Qing almost jumped up with joy, but because his smoky body couldn't do this action
When Captain Vera saw that Luo Qing was fine, she was shocked and immediately figured out where the joints were, and spat fiercely:
"You bastard, why don't you die!"
After saying that, he pretended that nothing happened and calmed down his expression, looking around at the others.
The white-clothed Zongchen was fighting against the Witch King. He was the first to notice that the Witch King had turned from offense to defense, and he was also the one who almost responded to the unpredictable reminder.
The source of the yellow-level talisman circulated, and a "magma line of fire" used during the battle with Scalpel Von Jackman suddenly appeared around him. However, this time it was not used to trap the opponent, but to protect himself.
With himself as the center, a lava circle appeared at a radius of five meters away, and instantly a lava wall with a height of more than ten meters rose up in the lava, surrounding his body like a cylinder in the center.
At this time, in Vera's eyes, the lava walls around Zong Baiyi fell, revealing the fierce figure in white clothes, looking around the battlefield in a daze just like her.
Straw Hat's Holy Sword Aubrey Bacon also reacted and once again activated the "trick" he had used before!
He used up all the talismans in his body almost instantly, and the sword he held tightly in both hands emitted a holy white light that was more brilliant than the red light.
This is the secret of the Holy Sword, which can dispel all filth with white light!
This includes the "demon" that was solved at Lei Mingden Factory last time, as well as various contract abilities that are lower than his level - "Petrification Disease" is scary, but it is only orange level and is purified by the white light of the holy sword of the same orange level.
.
However, Uncle Straw Hat's "Heaven and Earth Sword Slash" has a drawback that cannot be ignored, that is, after using it once, all the talisman sources in the body will be drained.
Therefore, just like the last time he killed the voodoo killer "Demon" at the Thunderden Factory, he once again fell unconscious after using this contract skill.
Even so, he was still alive and used the purification ability of the "Holy Sword" to avoid the blow, because his chest lying flat on the ground was constantly rising and falling, and he was still breathing.
Akali was also unharmed, because she had already taken her own paraffin potion when she received the reminder, which temporarily waxed her entire body. This was exactly the same reason why Luo Qing was spared.
The "Guanglan Shield" that was turned on unexpectedly has been shattered by the red light and has not been affected by the red light——
"Guanglan Shield" can withstand an attack of less than half a spirit, including "Petrification Disease", but the consumption of the source of symbols made Mo Zhi's face turn slightly white, and he sighed in surprise that he had escaped this attack.
At the same time, he had turned his head and looked at the building under Ailiang's feet!
There is electrical equipment fused with crystals inside. As long as this thing is not destroyed, the talisman sources in the line will accumulate again, replenishing the more than a dozen talisman sources connected to the "petrified disease" items, and launching a second wave of offensive.
I was lucky to escape this time, but what about next time?
What about next time?
This thing is like a "fort" that continuously fires out indiscriminate range attacks. If this thing is not destroyed, I am afraid that the three of Ai Liang will be able to deal with this "fort" by restraining all the punishers present, making them unable to take action.
I am always under attack.
If it continues to be consumed, only the punisher will be dealt with.
Zong Baiyi also realized this. He had the highest combat power among everyone present and had a wide range of attack capabilities. He was the best candidate to destroy this power equipment.
He took advantage of the brief opportunity when the Shouyang Witch King was still hiding in the "wooden ball", and the talisman on his body suddenly rolled, and he raised his hands at the same time, as if he was holding up a sun.
As the extremely powerful Fuyuan raged, the entire building under Ai Liang's feet immediately showed signs of melting. Everyone present understood that Zong Baiyi was going to use the temperature of the lava to completely turn the electrical equipment inside into molten iron——
Because the crystals integrated into the item can turn the item into an "insulator", and the insulator will not be directly affected by the contract ability. In addition, it is not made of stone and cannot be directly turned into lava. However, the "insulator" will also be objectively existed.
Realistic forces destroy, for example, the intense heat of lava.
Almost at the same time, a shrill meow came from inside the building.
From a ventilation duct in the building at Ai Liang's feet, a fat yellow cat figure rushed out, running wildly on all fours.
The hair on its body is slightly curly. Although it can't be smelled, it still makes Captain Vera feel like it has a burning smell.
The old cat used his usual tactics. After entering the substation, he quietly got into the building at the foot of Ai Liang with his "petite" figure. He waited for the opponent to be careless and came out to possess him.
Technique to turn the tide of battle.
Unexpectedly, before the opportunity came, Zong Baiyi wanted to turn the building directly into lava. Of course, the old cat inside would not be spared.
This person escaped from the ventilation duct and moved to a nearby building.
Seeing Uncle Cat's figure, Vera subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Uncle Cat had hidden well and was not affected by the red light of the "Petrified Disease" just now.
Also because she saw Uncle Cat, she remembered that there were two teammates whose conditions were unknown, and quickly glanced behind her again.
Rebecca was holding a pistol and shooting repeatedly at the roof. Her position was next to the fainted Straw Hat Uncle Aubrey Bacon. She must have been within the range of Bacon's "holy light" when she was attacked just now.
, thus luckily escaping the "petrification disease".
only
The figure of a giant turtle in the corner made Captain Vera's eyes suddenly freeze.
douglas
This punisher, who has worked in the Hot Spring City Supervision Bureau for the longest time, was unable to escape with his "turtle shell" skills this time.
He was struck by red light
Although the thick turtle shell has strong physical defense capabilities, it cannot make him ignore the petrifying properties of red light.
Vera Alexandra's breathing suddenly became heavier.
The turtle transformed by Douglas did not move. He was not breathing. His face was facing the other way. The captain could not see his expression, let alone imagine it.
He was "petrified". To be precise, he was killed in the line of duty!
Just like this, he walked away quietly, nearly thirty meters away from himself.
Captain Vera's heart was gripped again just now, and for a moment, there was an indescribable sadness rolling in her throat.
Although this guy was passive and lazy, even though he was the most lazy, he almost never missed a single battle of the Punisher team;
Although he does not play any role every time, most of the time he just protects himself by turning into a turtle shell, but he is the punisher after all, and is the oldest punisher in the Hot Spring City Supervision Office;
Although he was not very serious and had little motivation, and most of the time he just thought about looking for flowers and flowers, but he sacrificed his life quietly in this battle.
He didn't do well, but still gave his life for his duty as the Punisher!
He stayed at the white level for fifteen years, and finally felt the emotional obsession, and applied to himself a few days ago to be promoted to the red level. Captain Vera was even happy for the entire day that he was "turning back the prodigal son".
His life was fixed at the last moment, and he was not even able to leave behind his original human body, but was forever fixed in the strange image of carrying a turtle shell.
Contractors face life-threatening danger at any time!
This sentence is indeed the mantra of Captain Vera. She will mention this sentence to the team members almost every time they meet, hoping to warn the team members that the job they are doing now requires their lives as a bet.
This sentence is to give myself and my companions a "psychological expectation" in advance——
At any time, someone among us may leave us forever!
However, although the words were said as before, the effect was unexpectedly ineffective. When faced with the death of a colleague, no one could accept it easily.
Captain Vera felt the anger in her chest growing rapidly and expanding.
The talismans on her body exploded, and she was instantly tempered.
The shiny metallic Vulcan appeared on her body, and almost immediately the magazine was clipped, and she shook the handle towards the soul singer and Airang on the roof.
The six barrels rotated rapidly, and tongues of fire spewed out!
With no time to grieve, Vera Alexandra used attacks to vent her anger at losing her teammates.
I don’t know if other teammates discovered that Duras was dead, but as the leader of the Punisher team, Vera must avenge her teammates!
Since being promoted to Orange level, because of her excellent combat power and contract ability that can cope with various situations, she has long accepted invitations from many white-clad teams of the Punisher Council, inviting her to become a member of the white-clad team.
But she refused without hesitation every time. The reason was because before she was promoted to Orange level, when she was a member of the Punisher team in other cities, she witnessed the captain at that time die trying to protect herself.
The job of a punisher means danger and parting. From that moment on, she decided not to become a punisher in white who faced higher risks and experience more pain of losing her colleagues.
So she stayed at the Hot Spring City Inspectorate and became the punisher captain of a small city. In a city like this where there are relatively few contractual crimes, her ability and level are enough to face most dangers.
It can ensure the survival of teammates in most situations.
This is indeed a kind of escape, just because I don't want to face my companions leaving again.
Almost as she wished, there were not many contract crimes in Hot Spring City. In most cases, they were just trivial matters at the white and red levels, which Vera Alexandra could handle enough.
It's just that now, this kind of escape can't let her avoid this pain forever, and it still allows her, the captain, to witness her companions dying next to her again.
The dense bullets vented their hatred for revenge and rushed towards the roof of the building where the temperature rose sharply.
Today I still haven’t been able to make up for the missing update from yesterday.
Yesterday I went back to my hometown and planted a lot of vegetables at home. As a result, because I didn’t exercise too much, I was tired and had to stop cooking. I also caught a cold. After I got home in the evening, I had a parent-teacher meeting with my children, and I assembled and bought new ones for my family.
I was tired and exhausted all of a sudden, and my cold turned serious, so I couldn't muster up the energy to write.
My condition is still bad today. I feel like my brain is frozen. I couldn't catch up on yesterday's update smoothly. Please forgive me.
Will make up for it later
In the past few days, I have seen many friends backstage who voted for me and gave me rewards. I am very grateful.
I will thank you all individually for your support when Lao Sui makes up the updated chapters, I will remember them all.
