Chapter 463 Revisited Shadows!
Chapter 463 Return to the Shadows!
On the other side of the timeline—
2025 years.
The originally dim starry sky was shrouded in an eerie, inky shadow.
The shadows surged forth like a raging tide from all directions, rampaging wildly, and wherever they went, all light began to tremble.
The city's skyscrapers, shrouded in shadow, seemed to have lost their vitality, becoming gloomy and eerie.
In the streets, people screamed in terror and ran in all directions.
Cars collided with each other, blaring alarms, and everything descended into chaos.
One by one, the streetlights went out, and the darkness grew ever deeper, as if it were about to swallow the entire world whole.
The trees twisted and deformed in the shadows, their leaves falling and then transforming into new things that floated up again.
The river water turned black and murky, and the fish swam frantically in the water, but were swallowed up by the darkness in an instant. The turbulent river seemed to stop in the blink of an eye.
The shadow continued to spread, devouring everything that was alive.
An aura of death permeated the streets, sending chills down one's spine.
Meanwhile, in a large building on the outskirts of Yandu, an incredibly grand battle of attack and defense was just beginning.
Inside the building, numerous sophisticated instruments had ceased operation, sparks flew everywhere, and there was a constant risk of explosion.
The shadows spread up the corridor, encroaching on everything in the building. But at that moment, beams of light of various colors burst forth, struggling to resist the surging shadows.
On the rooftop of the building, gazing at the world gradually plunging into darkness, Little Grey stared wide-eyed in disbelief and stammered out.
"What the hell did this guy do to me?!"
Beside him, a white trench coat fluttered in the wind, and a sigh came from his slender figure.
"Although I had anticipated some unexpected events, I didn't expect them to happen so quickly, or so uncontrollably..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hui looked at Chang Lei, who was in his transformed state, with a somewhat complicated expression.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that this time travel journey would involve him partnering with Chang Lei, a greedy person.
Although he knew the other party had good intentions and understood that he was on his side, fighting alongside him alone still gave Xiao Hui a strange feeling.
This feeling is a bit different from when I partnered with Tang Zijun. After all, Tang Zijun only had the aura of a greedy person and no negative energy, but Chang Lei was full of negative energy.
Noticing Xiao Hui's gaze, Chang Lei slightly adjusted his top hat. "What are you looking at me for? If I hadn't acted quickly, you would have been torn to shreds by the time turbulence long ago."
"...Thank you." Little Grey's body trembled.
He did not deny it, after all, he knew very well that Chang Lei was not joking.
When the two trains collided, he was the first to be affected and the first to be thrown out. Without Chang Lei's help, he probably would have been lost outside the timeline.
Perhaps because they were the first to enter the timeline, Xiao Hui and Chang Lei's time travel was not far from the time they set off, and at most, they returned to the timeline a few months ago.
As for the timeline point they arrived at, it was precisely the moment when the Shadow Catastrophe erupted across the world.
Feeling the surging magical energy below, Chang Lei paused for a moment, then took a step forward.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Hui noticed Chang Lei's actions and immediately asked.
"Do you even need to ask? Of course, I'm going to help." Chang Lei said without turning his head.
"Help?" Little Grey was slightly taken aback. "Have you forgotten Tang Zijun's warning? We absolutely cannot interfere in anything, otherwise it will be a disaster for everyone."
"But..."
"Old Chang, don't forget, the Shadow Calamity was all bark and no bite. Although we suffered heavy losses in this battle, there were no casualties. We don't need to get involved."
"No, you didn't understand what I meant," Chang Lei said casually. "What I meant was that, in our memory, the Shadow Disaster did not cause any casualties, but what if the reality is different?"
Upon hearing this, Little Grey was stunned.
Chang Lei continued, "Since time travel is possible, it means there must be some kind of error in our memories."
"In my original memory, this war ended in a way that everyone could accept, but what if, behind the scenes, the end of this war was related to us time travelers?"
Chang Lei's tone was more serious than ever before, and his expression behind the mask was also extremely solemn.
Upon hearing this, a look of understanding appeared in Xiao Hui's eyes.
"You, you mean..."
Don't forget.
Chang Lei tilted his head slightly.
"We're not the only 'outsiders' who traveled to this timeline."
This time, Little Grey finally showed a look of utter disbelief.
It's understandable, really. Under Chang Lei's protection, Xiao Hui didn't know what exactly happened outside the timeline. He only thought that he had been thrown out and then rescued by Chang Lei.
What he didn't know was that when Chang Lei made his move, he watched as several strange-looking guys fell into the same timeline as them.
This means that at this very moment, there is another group of invaders from the wasteland, and they may have already started causing trouble.
Nothing is easier than taking advantage of a massive catastrophe like the Shadow Plague.
Chang Lei ran all the way and quickly entered the building from the rooftop.
"Why are you using your legs? Isn't it more convenient to use the reverse passage?" Little Grey asked, flapping its wings.
"Do you think it's because I don't want to use it? Under normal circumstances, I would definitely take the shortcut. But we are time travelers. If Tang Zijun in this timeline becomes aware of my existence, things will become even more troublesome."
As he spoke, Chang Lei quickened his pace.
"I'm not confident I can fool the wolf riders at this time, not to mention that he and I are estimated to be arriving here soon."
We went down another floor.
Suddenly, the tightly closed emergency exit door exploded open, and a monster shrouded in shadow slammed heavily against the wall.
Looking down the broken door into the corridor, one could see a woman engulfed in flames fighting another member of the Shadow Clan, with a Border Collie breathing fire beside her.
Little Gray, who was flying over here, was immediately stunned.
broken.
They are beings who absolutely cannot be discovered by people in this timeline!
But it was too late to hide, because the man, the dog, and four or five Shadows had already moved towards them while fighting.
The Shadows themselves aren't particularly strong, but in the context of the Shadow Plague, they've become quite troublesome thanks to the terrain buff.
Even so, the red-haired magical girl still dominated the shadow gang throughout the entire fight.
With a single punch, the flame-wrapped fist sent a Shadowman flying, grazing Little Gray's body as he smashed through the ceiling and landed in the corridor on the next floor.
Staring at the woman who seemed completely oblivious to him, Little Grey's eyes widened in disbelief. "What... what's going on?"
"I have blocked part of the visual senses of all the creatures around me. Their subconscious will unconsciously ignore our existence. No matter who it is, unless they can withstand my deception, they will not be able to detect us."
Chang Lei offered an explanation, then paused, his gaze suddenly fixed on the red-haired magical girl still engaged in battle.
"Little Grey, if I remember correctly, this person is also on the assassination list, right?"
Little Grey flapped his wings, finally managing to escape the battle. He then looked back. "Code name Hongxiu Zhao, real name Chu Yu, yes! She's on the list!"
Little Grey was excited to realize this, but at the same time he was also a little confused.
"But I didn't sense anything special. Would those androids really launch an assassination at this time?"
Is it possible...?
Chang Lei narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Has the assassination already begun?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a bolt of dark blue lightning flashed across the ceiling.
The lights in the entire corridor began to spark and flicker.
The next moment, Chang Lei and Xiao Hui saw the red-haired magical girl suddenly take off her headset and mutter to herself.
"Damn it, those shadow monsters have sabotaged the communications!"
