The Creators: From Night City

A wailing sound was heard to the sky, and before several giants could react, half of their bodies were shattered by the bombardment.

The calcified shell was broken, and a tall giant roared to the sky, as if to warn his companions.

He was a full head taller than the [Heat Death-1] power armor, but his body was very well-proportioned, without the deformed and uncoordinated feeling of other biological weapons.

Of course, this is ignoring the several black tentacles shaped like arms behind the opponent.

A high-explosive bomb hit its shoulder blade, creating a basin-sized wound in the beast's body, revealing the flesh inside that resembled wood fiber.

The giant, whose cheeks were covered with the same tiny aerial roots, quickly found the attackers - the 12 apostles.

The black tentacles behind him suddenly pushed against the ground, and he lifted himself up from the ground like a pole vault. In the air, he did not forget to hold the tentacles in front of him to protect himself from attacks.

But before he even landed on the ground, he was hit hard by Jiang Bing's powerful punch.

The thousand-pound stake hit the opponent's supporting black tentacles firmly, sending the opponent flying back and forth.

Jiang Bing carried the stake in both hands and jumped high into the air. He landed on the second giant's head and used the Taishan crushing move to smash the opponent, causing his bones and tendons to break and blood to fly everywhere.

The third giant was about to launch a sneak attack with his battered body when the full-power electromagnetic cannon of the hornbill drilled a hole the size of a washbasin in his chest. His body suddenly stiffened and he was submerged in the metal torrent of [annihilation].

Tens of thousands of small steel balls gradually eroded the opponent's body tissues, like being cut into pieces by thousands of knives, chipping the giant's body into powder bit by bit.

The opponent's flesh and blood was as dry as dead wood. There was not a drop of blood in the whole body, and what was peeled off by the steel balls were just dry fibers.

These things seemed to be really like wood, very flammable. The pile of debris was covered by the high-temperature flames of the flamethrower. It took only a few seconds before it really burned like firewood, emitting bursts of black smoke.

Jiang Bing stood in front of the apostles, leaning on the stake, like an ancient general, able to hold his own against ten thousand.

Any giant who wants to attack the apostles who fired the guns must pass through him first.

No matter how these "old bastards" jump up and down, they are still no match for the three-meter-long stake.

This pillar was swung around by Jiang Bing in armored state. Even if the Chimera self-propelled armor came, it would have broken down after two hits.

The flames gradually enveloped the enclosed space, and the heat radiation transmitted by the flames made the temperature here approach three digits. Fortunately, everyone was safe because of the armor they were wearing.

However, a group of biochemical giants who were suspected to be the old members of the Dubai royal family gradually became irritable, as if the high temperature environment was very harmful to them.

But they couldn't break through Jiang Bing's obstruction, and could only be shot one by one and turned into pieces on the ground.

The tallest biochemical giant, who was three meters tall, roared and launched a desperate charge towards Jiang Bing, but was stunned by two high-explosive grenades halfway. Then the attack of the horned oryx smashed its calves into pieces.

Suddenly losing its balance, it fell to the ground, and with the inertia of its forward movement, it slid to its knees in front of Jiang Bing.

The head covered with black roots raised up, and the figure of Jiang Bing holding the stake was reflected in its slightly embarrassed dark eye sockets.

boom!

The ground seemed to shake three times.

Jiang Bing smashed the opponent's upper body directly into the stone steps, leaving only half of his lower body exposed.

Jiang Bing hit the opponent with two more sticks, beating him beyond recognition, and then swung him away with a stick.

After the giant's body fell to the ground, it was still twitching, and tiny root-like tentacles rapidly spread outward from its body, frantically picking up the debris on the ground to heal itself.

The same was true for the other monsters. Although they were lying on the ground, each missing limbs or beaten into rags, tiny branches like aerial roots began to grow wildly from their bodies, greedily devouring the various body fragments scattered on the ground.

Because two of the giants were too close to each other, the roots on their bodies gradually spread together, and soon they merged into one, becoming an even larger monster.

This monster is covered with a large number of black tentacles (or roots), and its appearance is no longer human. Its two heads, one on the chest and the other on the left shoulder, are still incomplete, but the rapidly growing and spreading roots still ensure their survival.

The situation is not looking good. If the fight continues, these dozen or so old zongzi might merge together and turn into a giant black slime.

Fortunately, the flames had great power over the other party, and those bodies burned by the flames were permanently turned into ashes.

However, with the current firepower (physical firepower) of the 'Apostles', there is still a big gap between them and completely burning these dozen or so large vegetative patients.

Fortunately, Jiang Bing knows some other methods.

The air flow suddenly began to flow in this enclosed space, and the flames that were still burning on the ground were suddenly driven by the air flow to make a whooshing sound.

The air flows faster and faster, gradually forming a tornado that basically does not form in a confined space.

Chapter 305 Seed

Several apostles carrying flamethrowers quickly took off the fuel tanks on their backs, opened the safety locking device, unscrewed the filling port of the fuel tank, and threw these large oil bottles into the already formed tornado.

The colorless oily liquid quickly filled the tornado, and the space was filled with a strong pungent smell.

Jiang Bing clenched his left fist, and a large amount of mental power and chaotic magic power continuously poured into the tornado. While the tornado continued to grow in size, he controlled the tornado to start moving.

When the tornado passed by a burning fire wave, the flames ignited the liquid hydrazine inside the tornado, and suddenly, flames burst out and blazed.

The entire tornado was instantly filled with flames, turning into a continuously rotating column of flames.

The wind fuels the fire, and the fire fuels the wind. This simple combination of the two makes the fire grow stronger in a short period of time.

Several 'Apostles' who had mastered the Leigny Fire Seal soon joined in. They continuously ejected small streams of flame from their palms, merging into the fire storm of the dual cultivation of the monsters.

The air became visibly distorted, and terrifying heat waves began to radiate in all directions. All the biochemical giants leaped frantically to escape the range of the fire tornado, but they were either sucked into the fire storm and refined in an instant, or they were hit by Jiang Bing and other "apostles" and thrown into the storm, trapped by the terrifying suction and high temperature, and flew into the sky.

The flames consumed a large amount of oxygen in the air. The Apostles' power armors detected the low oxygen environment outside and activated their internal oxygen supply.

Accompanied by the roar of airflow similar to that of a jet engine, the inhuman howling of the numerous biochemical giants gradually subsided.

The limbs gradually turned black due to carbonization by high-temperature radiation, and the fibrous muscles contracted and twisted. Even though these biochemical giants continued to struggle, they were still easily ignited, making popping sounds like burning grease. The torsos cracked due to thermal expansion and mixed with the carbonized tissue to form charred slag.

The air seemed to be ignited at this moment, and the waves of heat even activated the external high temperature warning of [Heat Death-1 Type].

The flames licked for dozens of seconds, and many monsters were still struggling stubbornly, and some even huddled together. Fortunately, under Jiang Bing's continuous compression, the core temperature of the tornado continued to rise, and eventually all the combustible materials inside were ignited.

A giant with the most complete body waved his hands wildly trying to survive, but the flames finally broke through his defense and burned him into a fire man. A large amount of flames spewed out from his mouth, nose, eye sockets and other holes. The high-temperature steam made him swell and burst alive, and his scattered limbs burned wildly in an instant.

The fire tornado even burned the rocks red.

But Jiang Bing's purpose was obviously more than that. Under his control, the fire tornado, which had grown to six or seven meters thick, swept towards the upside-down tree.

As the terrifying heat wave hit, the upside-down tree began to struggle and twist like a living thing, shaking constantly.

The earth cracked, and the stone slabs in the underground space collapsed into countless fissures. Countless black muds were secreted from the surface of the fallen trees, wriggling like living things and sticking together to form a biological fire barrier, trying to resist the invasion of thermal radiation.

These black muddy things seem to be magical medicines that can help infected people ascend to immortality, and they emit endless "fragrance" as soon as they appear.

As a result, the entire underground space began to riot, and a large number of derivatives that had been dormant in this way awakened and began to gather here from all directions.

The scene of the ancient fall of the Dubya Dynasty seems to be about to be repeated.

The 'Apostles' began to turn around and defend their positions.

A large number of "balls of yarn" swarmed in from other passages, wanting to pour into this underground space like a tide, following the call of the upside-down tree, forgetting life and death, forgetting pain, just to taste the black mud.

The intensity of the battle gradually increased until it reached a climax.

But after thousands of years, these antiques sleeping underground were no match for modern weapons. They were blocked outside by the "apostles" until the tempting smell from the source gradually weakened and was burned out by the flames and became inaudible, and then they suddenly broke free from their crazy state.

The offensive relaxed instantly.

Its most elite giant guards were all annihilated, and as a plant, it naturally had no ability to resist. In the end, it dried up and cracked under the scorching flames, and most of its body turned to ash.

The living upside-down tree died, and the "balls of yarn" lost their scent appeal and the carrots hanging in front of their mouths, so they naturally fell apart quickly.

Jiang Bing drew his sword, jumped onto the ceiling, and crawled like Spider-Man.

The staff sword looked like a small dagger against the backdrop of [Power - Chi You], but that did not change its sharpness. With Jiang Bing's brute force, the tangled roots of the upside-down tree were cut cleanly in just a few strokes.

He jumped off the rock wall, raised the stake beside him on his shoulders, exerted all his strength, and inserted the thick stake into the roots of the upside-down tree like throwing a javelin. Then he jumped up, pulled the stake down, and repeated the same trick again.

After a few hits, the rock wall where the upside-down tree was rooted was smashed to pieces, and the radiation source that Jiang Bing had been searching for finally appeared in his sight.

This is an amber fossil, or something that looks like an amber fossil. It is oval in shape, only a dozen centimeters in size, and surrounded by black roots.

Jiang Bing carefully pushed aside the tangled black roots, and through the yellowed shell, he could see that the interior of the fossil was filled with a sparkling, extremely viscous liquid. There seemed to be a sky full of stars floating in the liquid, as brilliant as a galaxy, and within these starlights was frozen some object.

Jiang Bing carefully looked at the fossil, and a huge wave of emotion surged in his heart.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and finally confirmed that what was sealed in this 'amber and beeswax' was actually an acorn.

It is a plump and round acorn with a yellowish-brown color. It looks to be of excellent quality, but it looks like an ordinary acorn no matter how you look at it.

A crack appeared in the fossil shell, and all the roots of the upside-down tree poured in from the crack, took root in it, wrapped around the acorn, absorbed nutrients, and grew vigorously.

Similarly, if this amber fossil had not cracked for some reason and emitted waves of inexplicable fluctuations from the crack, Jiang Bing would not have discovered the other party's existence.

Apart from that inexplicable sense of radiation, this thing looks like an "acorn beeswax" collectible.

However, the craftsman's intuition was constantly beating and clamoring, and it was almost as if he was holding a loudspeaker and shouting in his ear, "Good stuff, this is good stuff."

Jiang Bing carefully looked at the 'beeswax', and a vague feeling told him that it was a seed.

Jiang Bing certainly knew that acorns were the seeds of oak trees.

Chapter 306 Aurora's Meeting

The information provided by the craftsman's intuition proved that it was obviously not just an ordinary oak seed.

No matter how you look at it, this thing looks like a good thing for magic. Jiang Bing, who lacks knowledge in this area, had to put the amber away first and prepare to find an opportunity to ask someone to scan it and make sure it doesn't get noticed.

After all, [Key] has done this more than once or twice.

The stars in the sky gathered together, and a starlight door in the void bloomed underground.

After picking up some of the remains of the fallen tree on the ground and placing them in a specially made biochemical sealed container, Jiang Bing led 12 apostles into the door and disappeared without a trace.

........................

Good morning, listeners of Night City!

Welcome to continue listening to Stan's passionate broadcasting in the new day.

A month has passed since the protein farm in the Badlands was destroyed. Whole Foods was also exposed to the scandal of using human flesh as synthetic meat material, which also caused the stock price of Whole Foods to plummet rapidly. At the same time, a food processing factory called "Good Again" seized the opportunity to emerge. This coincidence made people believe that the black material about Whole Foods was released by the other party.

But even if it is, what can we do? After all, this is Night City~!

Here's the second piece of news: the Trauma Team had several missed appointments yesterday, raising questions about whether their consistent adherence to a 7-minute deadline can still hold up. Despite this, Stan still urges everyone to buy a copy if they have the money. After all, this is Night City, right?

Haha!

Yesterday, another fierce conflict broke out in the northern part of Taiping State. I believe that residents nearby could hear the gunshots. It is said that NCPD received a tip-off that the Voodoo Gang has been badly damaged recently and wants to regain lost territory. However, before they even saw the Voodoo Gang, they were beaten to a pulp by the Haitian residents of Taiping State. However, this is not surprising. After all, this is Night City!

…………】

"This bastard keeps mumbling nonsense all day long. I don't know who likes to hear it."

A man wearing a straw hat picked up a bottle of Abydos Classic Beer with the old and simple prosthetic hand of his left hand, took a sip, and then complained to his companion beside him.

"Why bother with him? You might as well look over there. That girl is real."

The man in the straw hat immediately looked in the direction his companion pointed, and sure enough, he saw a beautiful woman with a curvy figure, a pretty face, and more importantly, an extraordinary temperament sitting alone at a table, constantly looking towards the door.

"Oh my god, that's fucking hot. How about I buy her a drink?" He habitually talked sweetly to his companion.

"Come on, you say this every time, but you never dare to do it again." The companion began to mock him sarcastically.

"Hey, today I'll show you my charm."

Straw Hat seemed unable to bear his companion's provocation. He stood up with his beer and walked towards the table where the beauty was.

Of course, it could also be an excuse for his cowardice.

When I was halfway there and hadn't prepared myself mentally yet, I saw the beautiful woman suddenly beaming and waving towards the door.

A well-dressed company dog ​​in a burgundy suit pushed the door open and walked into the pub. After receiving a signal from the beautiful woman, he walked straight to her table.

It is also the destination of the straw hat man.

"Fuck, the good X was Xed by the dog." He was annoyed in his heart, but he naturally turned a corner and went back to his friend.

All of a sudden, all kinds of weird and strange auras came over me.

Jiang Bing, unaware that he had staged a love-stealing incident, sat on a chair, staring at Aurora opposite him, and spoke directly to the point.

"If you want to talk to me about something, you have to meet in person."

"any drinks?"

Aurora waved to the waiter and showed Jiang Bing her proud and curvaceous figure.

"Anything is fine"

Jiang Bing examined the man's slightly cheap clothes and his tired face, and said, "Your outfit isn't as good as the one we wore when we met at Yu Jin."

As he spoke, Jiang Bing took in the bar's shabby surroundings and continued, "Besides, how did a 'second-generation-employee' manage to get into a bar of this caliber?"
