The Wheel of Chronos

Xue Lun felt a strange atmosphere coming, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. The car horns that had been beeping all the time suddenly disappeared, and the long queue of vehicles fell into silence.

Xue Lun carefully checked Tianyang's physical signs, everything was normal, except for slowed breathing and loose irises, he seemed to be asleep.She let Tianyang lean against the inner wall of the car body on the other side, then leaned forward and checked Sergeant Li Zhangwei's situation, which was exactly the same as Tianyang.

She decided to get out of the car to check the situation, so she pressed the control screen of the military jeep, adjusted the car to the state of closing the door and automatically locking the car, then got out of the car, closed the door and confirmed that the door was locked.Then she opened the trunk, took out the gun and held it in her hand, and stepped towards the front of the convoy.

Passing through the narrow road formed between the car body and the car body, she found that all the people in the car had fallen into a coma. It seemed that the air wave just now was probably some kind of large-scale mental shock.However, due to the special brain waves of Sharon herself, she was not affected by the mental shock.

After advancing about 200 meters, Sharon found Captain Abigail fainted in the crack of the vehicle.She lifted Abigail onto the back of a car next to her.It's a bit dangerous to faint under the wheels, but now Xue Lun can't take her into action. I don't know what happened in front of me. Xue Lun must maintain high mobility in order to deal with it.

She memorized where Abigail was, and pushed on.The road is finally coming to an end, and there is a huge intersection in front of it. This is the busiest intersection in the port area. There are many high-rise buildings around it. As a distribution center for industrial goods, the port area is not only an industrial city, but also a developed economy and trade. During the federal period, this was the Territory region with the best commercial and economic development. The port area inherited the tradition of the Territory region, and was not affected by the flames of the Liberon Revolution. Therefore, it became more and more prosperous in the Empire period. .

Sharon followed the traffic flow to the end of the intersection, and the spacious central intersection area where traffic flows were fully occupied by vehicles.In the middle is a scene of a tragic car accident. More than a dozen vehicles crashed into a ball, and the rest of the vehicles were blocked behind and could not move.The traffic lights at the intersection were paralyzed, and when Xue Lun looked up, the tall buildings around her were also completely silent, and she couldn't even see a figure who opened the window to watch the excitement.

what happened?Goosebumps appeared on Sharon's skin.

When she walked to the center of the car accident, more than a dozen cars overlapped and collided with each other. The people inside the cars had already lost their breath of life. dust.Sharon was overwhelmed by the weird scene in front of her, and didn't dare to act rashly for a while.As for how the car accident happened, Sharon can only guess for the time being that it has something to do with the signal lights.But even if there is a problem with the signal light, it shouldn't be such a big car accident.It's really strange.

She wants to turn back time, but this time the time to go back is really long.It took more than half an hour for them to join the congested convoy.I don't know how long the previous car was stuck in the traffic jam, it might have been an hour.Going back an hour, the huge amount of energy she needs to consume seems to be impossible to find at this intersection where there was a tragic car accident.

Of course, she can also touch the building or the ground to directly absorb energy, but the part consumed by her will disappear forever and can never be restored. For this reason, she may raze the entire bustling city to the ground, which is not feasible.

When she was distressed, she suddenly noticed some fluctuations on the ground. She quickly squatted down, using the body of the car in front of her as a cover to hide, and turned on the perspective ability of the digital prosthetic eye to observe.

Right at the center of the accident where dozens of vehicles overlapped and collided, something inside the ground was agitating in a strange rhythm. Those vehicles trembled every five seconds, and then trembled After about ten times, another shock wave was launched from the center, spreading to the surroundings in a positive spherical wave state.Sharon looked at her watch, and the interval from the last shock wave was about 5 minutes.

It seems that something should be buried below in the central area of ​​the accident, Xue Lun made a judgment.

She approached the center, using her digital prosthetic eye to look deep into the ground through the occlusion of the vehicle.She saw a long tube-shaped object of unidentified metal, with things like flying wings spread out on both sides, and it was taking root in the ground.It is this thing that is constantly "breathing" regularly. It inhales once every 5 seconds, which will generate a strong suction force on objects within a certain range around it, and then 3 minutes later, it will exhale once, and the accumulated and All the absorbed energy is released at once, creating a strange circle of mental shock waves.

What the hell?Sharon was confused, and immediately thought of Lemuria.Could it be that this thing was sent from the continent of Lemuria?

She thought again, this thing looks like an energy conversion device, it absorbs energy from the surrounding physical matter, and then converts it into spiritual power and releases it.So, can she use this device to go backwards in time?

However, it will be difficult for Xue Lun to touch this thing now, it is rooted in the ground, and there are a large number of vehicles covering it, Xue Lun has no way to get in and touch it.So she took out her pocket watch, which she hadn't used for a long time, and was ready to wait for the right moment to trigger the time reversal, which was the moment when the unknown device sent out a mental shock wave.The pocket watch can absorb the power of faith from Tianyang to go backwards in time, which greatly inspired Sharon.She noticed that the time regression may not necessarily rely on the energy of the touchable entity, and the intangible energy without the entity can also provide energy for the time regression.

She put her finger on the hour hand of the pocket watch and stared at the second hand, counting down the seconds.Three, two, one!At this moment, the unknown device in the ground triggered a mental shock wave as expected, and at the same time, Sharon also started to turn back the clock.When she found that the hour hand could be moved, she knew that her guess was correct. The shock wave engulfed the surrounding dust and was sucked into the pocket watch like a tornado visible to the naked eye. Not only that, the other end of the tornado was also connected to the ground. The devices are directly connected together, and the underground devices begin to continuously provide energy for time backwards.

The surrounding scene began to change. The gray vehicles at the scene of the car accident, as if they were colored by an invisible pen, gradually returned to their original appearance, and quickly retreated backward along the trajectory of the car accident, one car after another They flew past Sharon's side, returning to where they were before the car accident.The people in the car are recovering quickly, returning to life.

Sharon's time passed by every minute and every second, while the world's time was going backwards every minute and every second. When Sharon turned back the hour hand completely for an hour, the time backward finally ended, and a car at the empty intersection Not left, all the vehicles returned to the back of the stop line controlled by the traffic lights, waiting for the command of the traffic lights.Only Sharon was left standing alone in the middle of the intersection.And the unknown device underground suddenly broke through the ground and soared into the sky, and the asphalt road that was pierced by it returned to its original state.And the unknown device had just flown about ten meters, when the time reversal completely stopped, the device reversed direction, and fell rapidly again.

Sharon immediately put away the pocket watch, pulled out the snatch, aimed at the device, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang", three gunshots in a row, Sharon felt that two shots had passed by, and only one shot hit.But the device really failed, and the momentum of continuing to plunge into the ground suddenly disappeared. Like a piece of scrap iron, this weird device fell freely and hit the hard asphalt road with a clatter. There was a small crack in the road.

Sharon silently put away the gun, stepped forward to pick up the unknown device, and walked back to the sidewalk beside the road.At this time, the traffic lights returned to normal, the green light of the fast lane was bright, and the vehicles began to drive through the intersection interactively.The tragic car accident disappeared like a phantom. Only Xue Lun's act of firing a gun at an unknown object in the sky attracted a lot of attention. There were many people around who took pictures of this scene with their wristbands, and most of them called the police.Sharon was expressionless, as if nothing happened, standing alone by the sidewalk at the intersection, with the malfunctioning unknown device at her feet.She sent a location to Tianyang, waiting for the military jeep to pick her up.She completely ignored the group of passers-by who were staring at her and whispering.The military uniform on her body can actually explain a lot of problems, but the good people still want to find out. After all, no one has noticed this female soldier before. She seems to have appeared suddenly. As soon as she appeared, she shot into the sky and shot down A strange, drone-like thing appeared.

The police car that received the call arrived almost at the same time as Captain Abigail, Sergeant Li Zhangwei, and Tian Yang who were driving from behind.When Sharon clearly saw Captain Abigail and Sergeant Li Zhangwei get off the car, the expressions on their faces were tense.They were probably taken aback because, based on the timeline they experienced, Sharon, who was supposed to be sitting in the car, suddenly disappeared and appeared at an intersection a few blocks away.They were not informed in advance that Sharon used the ability to go backwards in time, but they only followed the order to assist Sharon and Tianyang in their operations, and they had to provide a large amount of energy items for this operation, and they were not informed of the reason.The disappearance of Sharon just now made them feel like they were dreaming, and Tian Yang's explanation afterwards made them even more horrified:

"Oh, Lieutenant Spencer has the special ability of teleportation."

Princess, you are serious about saying this, should we believe it or doubt it?The hearts of Abigail and Li Zhangwei are broken.

The police's interrogation was overwhelmed by the authority of the military, and the matter was covered up on the grounds of military secret operations, and the police had no right to intervene and intervene.The unknown device was stuffed into the trunk of the military jeep, and the three of Xue Lun boarded the car and set off again, while Tian Yang never showed up.The police and the good-for-nothing crowd were left scratching their heads.

When Xue Lun sat back in the car, she saw Tian Yang smiling at her beside her.Sharon glared at her unhappily, and this guy smiled coyly, but in the end she settled the matter by herself, and she didn't know what happened.Tianyang leaned over and whispered in her ear:

"You're handsome……"

Xue Lun was speechless for a moment, her cheeks were stained with a layer of crimson.

"So what happened?" Tianyang asked again.

"I'll tell you later." Sharon moved away unnaturally, her ears were burning, and then she tilted her head and said, "You call me handsome without knowing anything?"

"Handsome, I see you standing alone on the sidewalk, with an iron bump that you hit next to your feet, and you don't waver to the people around you, so you are very handsome." The world's number one Xue Lun said so Said.

Sharon: "..."

"Although I didn't see what you did, I can deduce it. Only I can do it in this world." Tianyang suppressed his smile and suddenly became serious, "You saved many people, Sharon, and you will do it again in the future." To save more people, they may never know that their lives were in danger, or even lost their lives, and they did not know that they were saved by a human being. But Sharon, you have to remember, there will always be someone I personally understand what you've done, as long as I'm here."

There was a hot current spreading in the chest, and Xue Lun's breathing was a little stagnant.She turned her head to look out the car window, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Tianyang took her hand and interlocked her fingers. This time, Xue Lun did not break free.

But Tianyang, do you know that the person I most want to save may not be able to save him in his entire life.So what's the point of me saving the whole world?

Fog floated on the car windows, obscuring the reflection of Sharon's face.She closed her hot and hot eyes for a while, and gradually suppressed the feeling of sore nose.Not long after, the car stopped, and Captain Abigail in front said:

"Here is the place."

When they got out of the car, Sharon opened the door and found that they had come to the factory area of ​​a military factory.Abigail at the other end said:

"This is our temporary operation headquarters, located in this abandoned military factory. All the materials needed for this operation have been delivered in the past two days, and they are all piled up inside. I really don't understand, the two How can a personal covert operation use so many things, and how do you take them away?"

As she said that, she opened the door of the factory building a crack, and they entered the factory building one after another. What was displayed in front of them was a mountain made up of goods.Sharon took a closer look, only to find that these goods were all energy spars one by one, locked in metal tubes, each tube was about 8 cm in diameter, and could be held with one hand.

"Wow, it looks like you're going to spoil the time." Tianyang smiled at Sharon.

The author has something to say: Facing Tianyang's sudden and forceful confession, Xue Lun: I can't bear it.

Abigail, Li Zhangwei: Do you two consider our feelings?
