He and several people came to a conference hall near the city center to discuss some matters with each other.
This is where they come for every meeting, and the situation becomes increasingly tense during this period: the two opposing armies have been facing off in the southwest suburbs of the city for several weeks, and the main topic of their meetings has become the exchange of information.
Determine whether war will break out.
Most people believe that there will be no outbreak, and the media are optimistic about the latest round of negotiations between the two parties.
Just as they were having a heated discussion, there was a loud noise outside!
Fire and smoke burst out of the window, followed by explosions and screams. War suddenly broke out!
"No, we have to go back quickly!"
Everyone came out immediately. It was extremely chaotic outside! The streets were filled with smoke after the explosion, cars and people were rushing around, and the team was scattered...
He ran to the east and was trapped in the panicked flow of people. The traffic was completely paralyzed. He could only walk back, but the war was spreading rapidly throughout the city, and the explosions became more and more intensive!...
.
............
In a blink of an eye, it was already dark, and he was walking alone in an alley, walking in the dark shadows.
The dark sky in the distance in the gap between high-rise buildings was dyed dark red by the firelight from the intensive explosion, and the sound of gunfire beat in his heart like a drum!
Across a street in front of the alley and not far away is their station!
He poked his head out of the alley and looked at both sides of the street. There seemed to be no one in the darkness except for street trees and some municipal facilities.
Without hesitation he ran out of the alley and across the street to the other side!
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and he felt numbness in his legs, lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground!
He lay on the ground panting, and out of the corner of his eye he saw several soldiers with guns standing dozens of meters away. At this time, his brain was numb and he lost his ability to think!
A soldier came towards him.
At this moment, two figures suddenly jumped out from the alley just now and rushed towards the opposite side quickly.
After several gunshots, the two figures were not hit. Instead, they turned around and rushed towards the soldiers, roaring!
Their bodies were very flexible, and they were fighting with the group of soldiers in the blink of an eye. He lay on the ground and watched, and a voice deep in his heart shouted anxiously: Get up! Run!
But the body felt as if it was tied up with a rope, numb and losing the ability to move!
Although the two men were agile and fierce, they were soon no match for the numerically superior soldiers. With a few short gunshots, the two bodies fell to the ground.
At this time, the soldier who was walking towards him had already arrived in front of him, and he squatted down!
The firelight reflected on the soldier's face: the dark face under the helmet was covered with sweat and oil, and the flat nose bridge and nostrils and the bulging muscles on the face were clearly visible.
His eyes were big and black, and he looked at him calmly, and then he took out his pistol!
At this time, he was lying on the ground full of anxiety, despair and panic!
He stretched out his hands to resist the soldier's pistol, and at the same time said: "Please don't kill me, I am a civilian, there is no threat, I am going home!"
The soldier blocked his hands with his right arm, put the barrel of his left pistol against his temple, and said something calmly at the same time!
I don’t understand! I don’t understand this language!
He closed his eyes in despair, and in addition to fear, there seemed to be a sense of relief in his heart.
At the same time, he felt a "pop" sound in his brain, and the soldier fired...
............
It seems like a long time has passed...
A thought emerged from nothingness: Why do I still feel when I'm dead?!
............
Steven suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from his sleeping bag, breathing heavily. He stretched out his hands and turned his palms up and down. Then he looked at the darkness in front of him, touched his head and temples with his palms, and slowly calmed down.
Was that a dream just now?! How could it be so real! He recalled the content and details of that dream and became more and more shocked!
Is this a dream? How come the things inside are completely beyond my understanding?!
The loud sound and fire of the explosion, the cars speeding and ramming on the street, the soldiers' clothes, the long guns they held and the pistols placed on their heads! I have never seen anything like this since I was a child!
Steven recalled, comparing it with things in today's world: the power of the explosion of artillery shells was far inferior to that in the dream. The artillery shells in the dream exploded on the ground like a gunpowder magazine being detonated! The power was so huge that it made people feel uncomfortable.
Horror!
Those soldiers' guns looked much shorter than the flintlock muskets currently equipped by the army, but they fired continuously!
There is no need to fire a shot and then reload slowly, and the pistol is different from the spring guns and flintlock pistols commonly used today. It is much larger than the pistol of the soldier in the dream, and it does not have that sense of refinement!
As for the cars speeding on the street, it is completely beyond imagination! Four-wheeled cars with gas internal combustion engines can be seen on the streets of the relatively developed big cities in Grant Continent, but their speed and sophistication are nothing compared to those cars in the dream.
The same era!
What’s even more incredible is that the entire world in the dream is not the current world! Whether it is the high-rise buildings in the city, the streets, the lights, etc., it is completely beyond cognition!
Steven was a little excited: Ordinary dreams may dream of some weird things but they are completely illusory, but the content of this dream is extended according to the development trend of the times. It is very likely that one or two hundred years later
This is what the world is like!
So is this dream of mine a prophecy? What is more regrettable is that the language in the dream was not presented. What was said during the initial meeting and discussion was completely lost, and the soldiers could not understand anything they said.
Steven had a feeling that this dream must be related to the visualization method on the scroll! He had just experienced the feeling of his soul flying into the sky a few days ago, and then he had this strange dream!
Since getting the scroll, he has experienced so many things beyond his cognition! Steven feels that the scroll seems to have changed his destiny, no! From the moment Field stuffed the leather bag containing the scroll to himself, his destiny has already deviated from the original.
trajectory!
Steven decided not to tell Kate about this dream because he couldn't explain everything in the dream and he didn't want Kate to worry about him.
After getting up in the morning, the two of them had breakfast as usual, and then each did their own thing. Steven still meditated in the room and entered a state of silence, observing the flame in the head of his soul body, the fourth and fifth paintings.
It should express a gradual process: drag the visualized flame to the middle of the head of the soul body and then stay there until the content of the fifth painting is visualized: the head changes from the dotted line in the fourth painting to a solid line.
, this should mean continuing to visualize the flame in the head position of the soul body until a certain critical point is reached or a natural transition to the sixth painting.
Steven didn't know how long this process would take, and there was no hint on the scroll.
He decided to let nature take its course and do this in a relaxed and leisurely manner. He planned to focus on swordsmanship training and bow and arrow shooting every afternoon. Now Kate was no longer Steven's opponent when practicing swordsmanship.
Not only has his strength been greatly improved, but his body's perception and reaction speed have also improved by leaps and bounds. His extremely fast reaction time has been shortened by at least half compared to the original. This is because the reaction ability cannot be measured and quantified, and can only be judged by feeling.
In addition, his hearing, vision, and smell are much more sensitive than before, and when fighting swords, Steven will have a precognitive feeling: the direction of Kate's sword and the power of the sword will appear in his mind in advance.
This feeling is not the kind of rational empirical prediction, but a pure feeling, that is, I know inexplicably where Kate's next sword will appear, including the speed and strength, so now Kate's swordsmanship is completely different.
His opponent.
In terms of strength, Steven can now easily lift and place the stone more than a hundred times without feeling tired at all. He feels that there is no point in lifting the stone anymore. It is too light and he has to find a heavier one.
