In the shopping mall area where Jiang Yue and the others were located, as time passed, the night became darker and darker.
But the evil monster that everyone had been worried about did not appear, and it seemed that the strange tree did not intend to cause any trouble tonight.
Everything is as peaceful as the sunshine era.
If the city hadn't been in ruins and there wasn't a single light in sight, the people in the shopping mall couldn't help but wonder if they had returned to the sunshine era and the years had calmed down again?
Even in Crescent Harbor a few days ago, it was not as peaceful as it is now.
In Crescent Harbor a few days ago, except for the most noisy days, there were always some evil monsters coming out every day, or other desperadoes trying to invade. It was so peaceful today that it was almost like sunshine.
Times, this time in the past is unprecedented.
Could it be said that tonight is really peaceful?
Most of the people present hoped that the calm would last until dawn, and that this frightening night would pass quickly.
But Jiang Yue has never been optimistic.
This calmness is extraordinary.
Several times he felt that at this point, the other party should also start, right?
According to past experience, evil monsters will basically start to act as soon as it gets dark. By ninety o'clock in the evening, they will almost enter an absolute active period, and by midnight, this activity will enter a crazy stage.
These are some of the experiences Jiang Yue gained from countless battles with evil monsters.
It is now close to ten o'clock in the evening. It is said that at this time in the past, the evil monsters outside have been very active.
As of now, it is unknown. Several peripheral defense points have not given back any information, nor have there been any early warnings.
It's as if this shopping mall has really been forgotten by evil monsters, and even evil monsters are unwilling to patronize it.
But this kind of calmness made Jiang Yue feel more and more depressed.
The situation this night became increasingly strange. This unusual calm, like the calm before the storm, made Jiang Yue unable to rest at ease.
The calmer it is now, the crazier the storm brewing behind it may be.
At this time, Zuo Wujiang, under Jiang Yue's guidance, completed the treatment of a team member. The process was obviously much smoother than the first time.
When this team member came up, he was full of joy, thinking that he was being treated by Jiang Yue, but when he was told that it was Zuo Wujiang who was treating him, his face turned dark at that time. He thought it would be another few hours of torture.
Unexpectedly, the treatment went so smoothly this time.
This team member was even a little unsure and stammered: "Is this... is this good?"
"Don't worry, it's already fine. I checked it myself and I guarantee there's nothing wrong with it." Jiang Yue smiled.
With Jiang Yue's promise, the team member suddenly felt relieved. He glanced at Zuo Wujiang and said, "Thank you for the rescue. Thank you for your hard work."
These team members were from Crescent Harbor, and they originally had a grudge against Zuo Wujiang, so they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. Now that they were being treated by Zuo Wujiang, he finally said his thanks.
Zuo Wujiang waved his hand a little tiredly: "No need to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Mr. Jiang and our director. I was just following orders."
The man nodded with a complicated expression and was about to leave.
Jiang Yue suddenly said: "Brother Xu, after you get down, if someone asks you who saved me, you must say it was me. No matter who asks, you must insist on this."
The man was a little surprised: "Why is this?"
"No matter why, remember what I said, it affects the overall situation tonight. You must remember that if you spill the beans, it is possible that all of us will be unlucky tonight."
Hearing what Jiang Yue said, the man's expression changed slightly and he nodded quickly: "I know, I'll just say that you were the one who treated me. But what if they ask about Zuo Wujiang?"
Jiang Yuedao: "Just say that after Zuo Wujiang saved a person before, it cost too much and it will be difficult to do it again tonight."
This answer is obviously unfair to Zuo Wujiang.
So the man couldn't help but glance at Zuo Wujiang, wanting to see Zuo Wujiang's reaction.
Zuo Wujiang waved his hands calmly: "Just do as Mr. Jiang says. The more miserable you make me, the better. I don't mind."
After hearing what Jiang Yue and Zuo Wujiang said, what other opinions does that person have?
"Okay, I will do as you say. No matter who asks, I will maintain this caliber."
The man went downstairs and returned to the crowd. Zhong Leyi immediately asked the next person to follow him up so as not to waste time.
Lao Xu returned to the inquiring place, found a seat in a corner, and prepared to squint for a while.
Within a few minutes, someone came over and handed him a cigarette with a smile: "Old Xu, let me ask, what is the situation up there now?"
Lao Xu glanced at each other and saw that they were from the same community. Although they were not very familiar with each other before, they met often.
However, this person was one of the five people who made the most noise before, and was ranked at the bottom.
Out of self-preservation, Lao Xu instinctively did not want to get too close to these guys.
He is not stupid, he knows that if these guys go against Jiang Yue, Han Jingjing and others, they will definitely be marginalized in Crescent Harbor in the future. It may not be a good thing to get too close to these people.
Moreover, now that he has received treatment, he is free of illness and healthy. He no longer has a common ground with these guys who have not yet received treatment, and naturally they have lost a common language.
Dandan waved his hand: "I won't smoke anymore, I'll take a nap first."
The man was not stupid. He could naturally feel Lao Xu's alienation, but he was not angry at all. He put the cigarette on Lao Xu's ear as if to please.
"Brother, I don't mean anything else. I just want to know about the progress of the treatment above. As you know, brother, I was having too much fun earlier and was ranked second from the bottom. I'm very anxious."
"Do you need to understand this? One comes down and one goes up. Isn't it clear at a glance when it will be your turn?" Old Xu Dandan said.
"Hey, didn't you say that Mr. Jiang is also joining the battle? Why can't I feel that my speed can't be improved? Isn't Mr. Jiang just trying to trick us all?"
Lao Xu glanced at the other person and said indifferently: "Then who do you think treated me?"
"Are you really treated by Mr. Jiang?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who else is there besides him?" Lao Xu said angrily, "Stop forcing me to do it. Just wait and don't disturb my sleep."
"But shouldn't there be three people up there? That Zuo Wujiang won't just stop after saving one of them? This is unreasonable."
"Forget about that guy. After saving one, he's overdrafted and hasn't recovered yet. I don't know if he can continue tonight. You'd better not have too much hope for him."
"How could it be? If he is so good, would he be willing to go into battle?"
"Who knows whether his skills are not good enough or his attitude is not good enough? Don't forget who Zuo Wujiang was hanging out with in the first place, and he has a grudge against our Crescent Harbor. How sincere can he be?" After Lao Xu finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
, turned over and turned his butt towards the person who was inquiring about information, obviously not intending to talk to him anymore.
This man is very thick-skinned, and he even wants to turn over Lao Xu's body.
At this time, Zhong Leyi shot her stern eyes this way: "Cai Laosi, what do you want to do? You are running around so late at night, do you want to stir up trouble again?"
The person who was chatting with Lao Xu was Cai Laosi. He quickly retracted his position and said in a flattering manner: "No, no, I'm just a little anxious and want to know the progress above. I don't have any other meaning. Besides, Lao
Xu Du has been treated, no one can shake him if I try to fan him."
Of course, people who have been treated have no reason to be fanned.
Cai Laosi's statement is quite logical.
Zhong Leyi glared at him and scolded: "Be more honest and don't affect other people's rest."
"Yes Yes."
Cai Laosi looked like a grandson, and his tone was indescribably humble.
Little did he know, Jiang Yue had a clear view of everything he did.
Jiang Yue has been using his borrowing skills to observe everyone's reaction, everyone's actions, and everyone's details in the hall.
After careful observation, he found that the guys at the bottom were obviously more agitated than the others and had many more micro-expressions on their faces.
Of course, considering that they have the lowest ranking and are at the bottom of the ranking, it is reasonable to say that they have some thoughts and depressed expressions.
…
At the peripheral defense point, Sangou looked at the time impatiently, his expression becoming more and more depressed.
"It's said that evil monsters are having a big party these days. Why are my three dogs showing up? Where have these monsters gone? They didn't know that my three dogs were here, so they are avoiding me, right?"
Sangou talked to himself, looking a little uninterested.
He is the only one in the whole shopping mall. He hopes that the monster Xie Sui will take action quickly so that he can show off his power and see how powerful the legendary monster Xie Sui is and whether he can withstand the beatings of his three dogs.
After waiting and waiting, there was no movement, which undoubtedly made Sangou feel extremely annoyed and disappointed.
Dong Lan whispered softly: "Brother Sangou, wouldn't it be better if the monsters don't come?"
Sangou curled his lips: "What do you know about this, little girl? Now we humans and monsters are mortal enemies. Either humans will perish, or the monsters will be destroyed by us. We always hope that the monsters will not come, and the monsters themselves will not die, but will continue to do so.
Increase. If you want to win, you must eliminate them. The more you eliminate, the better. If you want to avoid them, it proves that you are afraid of them. If you look back, they will become more arrogant."
Dong Qing also nodded in agreement: "Brother Dog is right, the monsters are fierce, and we are more fierce than them. We have to hit them until they are afraid of us."
The boy was indeed a boy, with militant blood flowing in his bones, and their tones were so similar.
Although Dong Lan didn't really hope that the monster Xie Sui would appear tonight, he didn't refute their statement.
To a certain extent, she also knew that Brother Sangou was right. To deal with monsters, you must fight them. The more you eliminate, the better.
"Dong Qing, do you have the courage to walk outside with Brother Dog?"
Before Dong Qing could answer, Dong Lan turned pale and said, "Brother Sangou, this is not allowed. The director asked us to stick to our stronghold, and Brother Jiang Yue also gave the order. If you wander around and leave your post without authorization, if anything happens,
Who is responsible? This is no joke."
Dong Qing retorted: "It's so quiet tonight, how could something happen? Sister, are you too timid? If you think so, we will never be able to defeat all the monsters in Star City."
Dong Lan said anxiously: "I don't care what you say, anyway, I don't agree. If you leave without authorization, I will call someone!"
Dong Lan, who had always been gentle and weak, became unusually stubborn this time and stood in front of them with a serious look on his face, showing no sign of compromise.
Sangou glanced at Dong Lan's face a few times, squatted down with his head depressed, and sighed: "What a sin, this will kill me!"
…
Inside the ruins of the building where Meng Shuanglin is located.
Several of his subordinates also became a little anxious.
As time goes by, their mood becomes more and more depressed.
It will be almost eleven o'clock in the evening. In the past, the evil monsters would have been having a party all over the city and were extremely active.
Tonight, Meng Shuanglin kept asking them to wait.
"Brother Shuang Lin, these monsters are evil. Although they are not as intelligent as us humans, they still have emotions. If we keep them suppressed like this, it will affect our morale."
Meng Shuanglin said angrily: "How will it affect morale? The more severe the pressure, the more brutal they will be later. What? Mr. Shuzu asked us to wait, but you can't wait any longer?"
"It's not that we can't wait, but if we keep going like this, it's getting closer and closer to dawn. At this time, it's almost dawn at five in the morning."
"Brother Shuanglin, it's not that long before eleven o'clock. Master Shuzu won't delay the time again, right?"
Meng Shuanglin was also unsure of Lord Shuzu's thoughts. The only thing he could do was to wait and unswervingly carry out Lord Shuzu's instructions.
As expected, the guy was right. After eleven o'clock, Master Shuzu still didn't give the order to take action.
Waiting until after 0 o'clock, Meng Shuanglin once again established spiritual communication with Master Shuzu.
After a while, Meng Shuanglin regained his composure and said solemnly: "It's time to give the order. Attack with all your strength. This time, we will never hold back!"
Those guys had been waiting for such a long time and had suppressed their anger. Now they finally received the order to attack.
Wherever Meng Shuanglin was still mobilized, they all began to carry out attacks according to the plan.
The evil monsters that were ready to attack began to flood towards the shopping mall from all directions like a tide.
Deep in the core of the earth, countless giant rats with shiny black fur, sharp beaks and long tails, like an underground army, are frantically shuttling underground and swarming towards the shopping mall.
The first one to react was naturally Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue, who had closed his eyes to rest and only activated the Borrowing Skill, vaguely sensed something abnormal.
This abnormality not only comes from the void, but also from the ground.
He quickly lay down on the floor, listened carefully for a moment, and his expression changed slightly: "Here he comes!"
"What's coming? A monster?" Zuo Wujiang asked.
At this moment, there are only two of them in this secret room. In Jiang Yue's name, Zuo Wujiang has treated two of them in succession. Now, in the name of the outside world, Jiang Yue has spent a lot of money and needs time to recover.
"It seems that the strange tree's hands and eyes can reach the sky, and it can indeed observe the movements on our side." Jiang Yue sighed.
Just when he claimed to his subordinates that he had overexhausted himself and needed to recover, the news finally came.
Is this a coincidence?
Jiang Yue obviously believed that this was premeditated!
