Infinite flow: I have a trick! I have a trick for fighting ghosts

Chapter 158 Strange Invasion

In this chilly winter day, the biting cold wind is like a sharp knife, wantonly cutting across people's cheeks, making people feel as if every inch of their skin is being severely stung by the cold.

The vendors in the surrounding shops all wrapped themselves in extremely thick cotton-padded jackets. The jackets were thick and bulging, as if only this could resist the biting cold.

They were either busy running their business in front of the shops, or hunching their necks and stamping their feet to keep warm, and their cheeks were almost all red from the cold.

But even so, there was still an unconcealable joy in their eyes, as if the cold weather could not affect the joy in their hearts.

Pedestrians coming and going on the road were also wearing similar thick cotton jackets. Everyone was in a hurry, but from time to time they couldn't help rubbing their hands and breathing out because of the cold.

At this moment, a large group of people slowly walked out from the station corridor. Their uniform steps and straight posture instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"A new group of soldiers has arrived." A sharp-eyed vendor spoke first, his voice filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"That's right. This year is the annual training camp for new recruits. Every time I see these young men and women, I feel particularly energetic." Another passerby echoed with a gratified smile on his face.

"Huh? Why are there so many good-looking newcomers this year?"

A young girl couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Her eyes were shining as she looked at the soldiers with admiration.

When the pedestrians on the surrounding roads heard this, they all turned their attention and then consciously made way for the troops. Others scattered on both sides, watching the troops move forward and talking to each other.

Everyone on Train 805 was full of fighting spirit and positive mental state.

Especially the four people walking in front, they held their heads high and walked with firm and powerful steps, and every step seemed to carry an unquestionable sense of mission.

Nanyu was among this team, and his eyes revealed a complex emotion that was difficult for others to detect.

He looked at the shops around him almost without blinking. In his eyes, the shop signs and displayed goods seemed to carry certain memories of his previous life, those bits and pieces that once brought him warmth.

He tried to find a little comfort from these familiar things, even if it was just a little bit, as if this could allow him to find some spiritual sustenance in this strange yet familiar scene.

Suddenly, when passing by a jewelry store in Nanyu, a little girl in a red cotton jacket next to it caught his attention.

The little girl looked only six or seven years old. Her small body was wrapped in the red cotton-padded jacket, making her look even more petite and cute.

Her cheeks were also frozen red. I don’t know if it was because she was shy or the weather was too cold, but her little face was always red.

She carefully picked up a very delicate bracelet from the counter of the shop. The bracelet sparkled brightly in the sunlight, as if it had some kind of mysterious attraction.

The little girl seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage, and slowly approached the troops. There was a hint of nervousness and shyness in her eyes, and her steps were a little flustered, but she still walked firmly in front of Nanyu.

Before Nanyu could react, the little girl quickly stuffed the bracelet into Nanyu's hand, then raised her head and said in her clear and childish voice:

"Sister, you are so beautiful!"

After saying this, the tips of her ears instantly turned red with embarrassment, like two blooming little red flowers, and then she ran away with a red face, and her small figure quickly disappeared in the crowd.

The little girl's sudden action immediately attracted the attention of Gao Rui and others who were traveling with him.

A hint of surprise appeared on Gao Rui's originally serious face, and Jiang Shaoxing smiled happily.

His voice, which was somewhat teasing, sounded:

"Hey, sister?"

He deliberately raised the pitch of his voice and acted as if he was teasing Nanyu. He looked as funny as it could be.

Nan Yu curled his lips helplessly, turned his head to look at the little girl's disappeared back, and then silently put the bracelet in his pocket.

Maybe because Nanyu is pretty and has long white hair, the little girl mistakenly thought she was a girl.

He didn't want to get entangled with Jiang Shaoxing at this time. After all, there were more important things waiting for them.

"Why are you arguing with a child? She is a child, and so are you?" Nan Yu said coldly, with a hint of impatience in his voice.

Then, Nanyu continued to move forward with the other troops. They walked for about seven or eight minutes.

At this moment, there was a sudden cry from the front, the voice was full of fear and panic, followed by a deafening explosion.

The explosion was so loud that it seemed to shake the whole world and make people's eardrums buzz.

Nanyu instantly felt something was wrong, and he couldn't help but wonder:

Weren't we supposed to be going to training? Why were we attacked on the way? This is completely different from what we agreed on.

Since Nanyu and his friends boarded the last car of the train, they were at the very back and had no way of seeing what was happening in front of them.

The only way to judge from the continuous shouts and explosions is that something serious must have happened ahead.

Nan Yu subconsciously turned his head to ask Gao Rui what was going on, but found that Gao Rui had disappeared in this chaotic crowd.

Nan Yu frowned. He really couldn't believe that Gao Rui and other instructors would disappear in such an emergency.

He secretly speculated in his heart that he might be going to deal with the previous matters. Nanyu did not care too much. After all, in his opinion, as long as the danger did not come directly in front of him, he would not care about these trivial matters.

"Master, I seem to smell the scent of my own kind."

At this moment, Fengye's voice suddenly sounded in Nanyu's mind.

Fengye's words made Nanyu realize that something was wrong instantly. He knew in his heart that what Fengye meant was that something strange was spreading around Fengshuang Town.

Once the strange thing starts to spread, it means there will definitely be casualties, which is not a good sign.

"Hey, can you show me the bracelet that little girl just gave you?"

Jiang Shaoxing stood nearby, still looking nonchalant, and asked Nanyu with a grin, as if he didn't care at all about the explosion and turmoil ahead.

Nan Yu ignored him and just stared straight ahead, his eyes filled with solemnity and vigilance.

"Bang!" There was another shocking explosion. The power of the explosion seemed to be even greater than the previous one, shaking the ground slightly.

Following the explosion, the originally jewel-blue sky suddenly became filled with an unknown mass of dark clouds.

Looking closely, they were not real dark clouds, but rather looked like some kind of birds or beasts in the sky. However, their bodies were so huge, so huge that when people looked at them from a distance, they gave the illusion that dark clouds were covering the city.

Almost everyone saw these things in the sky, even Nanyu, who was in the last position, could see them clearly.

Those huge figures circled in the sky, as if they were spying on everything below, giving people an extremely depressing feeling.

"Oh my god! Aren't we here for training? Why are we suddenly attacking?"

A young man whose face was red from the cold couldn't help but swear, his face full of disbelief.

"I remember there shouldn't be any cities around Luoyang City where the weirdness has spread." Another young man followed suit, with a hint of doubt and worry in his voice.

Several young men around Nanyu, whose faces were red from the cold, couldn't help but speak. Now that they didn't have an instructor around them, their voices unconsciously became louder.

This resulted in the crowd becoming disorganized soon after, with shouts and screams mixed together, making the entire scene increasingly chaotic.

"Hello, new recruits! I'm Zhao Yunxiao, the general manager of the training base. I have some bad news to share with you."

A steady and powerful voice came through the radio, and it was particularly clear in this noisy environment.

"Because a pass on the edge of Luoyang City failed to be defended, it was invaded by a foreign monster. Since Fengshuang City is the town closest to that pass, the monster spread very quickly."

The voice continued, each word revealing a solemnity and helplessness.

"Here I hope all the new recruits can help us clear out the weird things in the town first."
