Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

If you had taken Tang Miao, Xiao Xiang, and Dr. Zhou with you and left first, you wouldn't be in this situation now."

"Sister, I don't regret it," Shen Qiyin smiled at her gently, "I didn't come here for the convoy, but for you. Out of responsibility, you can't let go of the survivors, and out of family affection, you can't let go of me, and neither can I."

"That's true, but as your aunt, your only relative, I actually put you in such danger. If my sister knew, she would definitely scold me to death."

Shen Qiyin reached out and brushed away the slightly messy hair that fell on both sides of her cheeks. Her voice was gentle: "Then we must not let her worry. It's just a mere black tide. We can handle it. Believe me."

"..."

Lin Qiutang was slightly touched by Shen Qinyin's words. She knew that she was trying to comfort her. After all, everyone knew how bad the current situation was.

But strangely enough, the words spoken by this frail little girl, who needed a wheelchair to travel before the end of the world, gave her an extremely strong sense of security.

It was as if as long as she was there, she could hold it up even if the sky fell.

"Who is the aunt and who is the sister..."

Lin Qiutang reached out and rubbed her warm hair. At her suggestion, like Tang Miao, she placed her hand on her shoulder.

Chapter 88 The Irresistible Black Tide Clone

The new page in the notebook made Shen Qinyin's heart excited.

I didn't expect that my bond with Lin Qiutang would be strengthened at this time!

These 500 desire stones really came at the right time. Now, including the unconverted spiritual amplification crystals and the additional abilities provided by Lin Qiutang, her total desire stones can reach 1730!

Shen Qiyin doesn't need to dispel the black tide. She just needs to delay the other party's actions, buy time for the train, and reach Huaibei Province!

Chu Tieshan and his team set the train's destination in Huaizhou City, the capital of Huaibei Province. This is also the second line of defense established by the country to fight against the black tide mentioned in the U disk.

The railway distance between Huaizhou City and Yunlan City is about 800 kilometers. If there are no accidents on the road and the current speed can be maintained, the train will reach Huaizhou City in at most six hours.

The Black Tide's hunting speed is not much faster than that of a train. If this is its maximum speed, Shen Qinyin only needs to buy the train an hour to escape its pursuit.

Now that things have come to this, let's give it a try. This not only determines the life or death of the evacuation team, but also the battle for the survival of our own team.

When the distance was shortened to 20 meters, Shen Qinyin finally threw out the evil-repelling jade pendant worth 50 lust stones!

Almost at the moment when the jade pendant and the black tide came into contact, an extremely dazzling light suddenly "exploded" in all directions!

The light quickly spread outward with the jade pendant as the center, forming a huge circular light wave!

The black tide touched by this light wave suddenly made a "sizzling" sound like water splashing onto red-hot charcoal, and countless tiny black particles evaporated like water vapor!

Those black tentacle-like objects at this moment looked like arms, being pulled out continuously with a creepy "sizzling" sound. These limbs twisted and struggled frantically in the air, and then exploded with a "bang", splashing black viscous liquid in the air like ink.

Not sure if it was her illusion, but Shen Qinyin seemed to see a large number of distorted human faces in the strong light. Their facial features were hideous, their mouths were wide open, and they seemed to be howling at the top of their lungs.

Of course, all the things that Shen Qinyin "saw" came from the power brought to her by the third eye. Other people could not see what was happening in the black tide at all.

They only knew that the light emitted by the jade pendant thrown by Shen Qinyin was constantly distorted by invisible objects, as if a giant beast made of black mud was constantly expanding, contracting, deforming, and then expanding again.

Shen Qinyin once again felt a slight tingling sensation in her cerebral cortex, as if hundreds of fine acupuncture needles were pricking her at the same time.

The black tide in front of her seemed to produce double images, making her vision increasingly blurred.

Damn, it’s cognitive pollution!

How could this happen? I clearly had the jade pendant to ward off evil spirits, so why was it contaminated by it?

Shen Qinyin's body softened, and her telekinesis seemed to be suddenly cut off by something, causing her to collapse.

Fortunately, Tang Miao and Lin Qiutang beside her reacted quickly and supported her in time.

"Qiyin!"

"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Shen Qinyin withdrew her third eye, and the stinging pain in her brain finally disappeared.

She took a deep breath and said bitterly, "I'm fine, but that thing seems to have noticed me. My 'sight' will be used against me, and then it will launch a targeted cognitive pollution on me..."

"This... there's actually such a thing?" Lin Qiutang realized something immediately and asked hurriedly, "Is it because of direct observation that its rationality has decreased, or does that thing have the intelligence to infer who poses the greatest threat to it?"

"Both." Shen Qiyin wiped the tip of her nose with her finger and re-invoked her telekinesis, causing her body to float gently. "It inherently possesses the property of being unobservable. I just didn't expect that even though it was suppressed by the evil-repelling jade pendant, it could still have a targeted effect on me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Qinyin frowned suddenly.

She...felt a gaze!

An extremely evil gaze!!

An invisible sense of oppression surged towards her like a tide, the air seemed to be distorted, and an indescribable fear filled her heart.

Her vision began to blur, the scene before her became distorted and strange, and the boundary between reality and illusion gradually blurred.

Bursts of rustling sounds kept echoing in her ears. She felt her skin cracking and granulation tissue growing, and the blood in her veins seemed to be boiling, but the chill that seeped into her bones became more and more intense.

For a moment, Shen Qinyin saw that all her companions around her had turned into burning human candlesticks.

Lin Qiutang's brain looked like melted wax, a bloody wick was stuck in Tang Miao's beating chest, and even Chu Tieshan's bear-like steel body in the distance had turned into a bloody mountain of flesh!

The internal organs and flesh kept rolling down the slope, and were then thrown back by the speeding train and smashed into a meat paste...

The next second, Shen Qinyin suddenly broke free from the suffocating cold.

To outsiders, Shen Qiyin just stood there in a daze for less than half a second, but to Shen Qiyin, the feeling of being stared at was as long as a dream.

She clenched her fists and looked into the distance.

The train was already far away from the city, and with so much fog still lingering, the city buildings were completely invisible.

However, at this moment, her sight seemed to traverse space and she saw an extremely terrifying scene—

A blurry, sticky mass like black clay is covering the city buildings.

The sticky substance covered several buildings. From a distance, it looked like a pool of black dough spread between the buildings.

The most terrifying thing was that the edge of that thing was still undulating, like the densely packed and wriggling gastropods on the edge of a mollusk as it moved.

Just as Shen Qiyin was immersed in the shock and astonishment brought to her by the other party, the strange black sticky substance seemed to have sensed her presence, and the edges that were originally wriggling disorderly suddenly stopped for a moment -

The next second, that thing rushed towards her!

That’s right, it’s really a surge!

It was like a wave of black mucus rolling towards Shen Qinyin!

A terrifying thought suddenly emerged in her mind:

Could it be that... that thing is Kuroshio's clone? !

The more Shen Qinyin thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible!

Because she clearly "saw" that the thing was emitting a black haze that was invisible to ordinary people's naked eyes.

She didn't understand why she could see this scene, but now was not the time to pay attention to it.

That thing has locked onto her!

Moreover, Shen Qiyin was very sure that she would not be able to stop it with just the resources she had!

Damn...

This is too difficult. How can I destroy that thing?

Is this journey of time travel really going to end at this step?

Shen Qinyin closed her eyes and tried hard to think of a solution in her mind.

After a few seconds, she took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly.

Now that things have come to this, we can only take a gamble!

Chapter 89 I hope this is not our farewell

"Qiyin?"

"what happened to you?"

Lin Qiutang, who noticed that Shen Qinyin's reaction was not right, gently shook her shoulders. If Shen Qinyin had not yet shown any stupidity or madness, she would have thought that she had also lost her mind due to cognitive pollution.

"I'm fine..."

Shen Qinyin calmed herself down, removed her "third eye", and took out another evil-repelling jade pendant. She raised her right hand, allowing the jade pendant to emit a dazzling light in her hand that was no less than a giant firework explosion.

This evil-repelling jade pendant not only helped Shen Qiyin regain her sanity quickly, but also replenished the energy of the previous jade pendant that was about to be depleted.

The two evil-repelling jade pendants exerted force at the same time, and the power of the black tide was further weakened. If Shen Qinyin had not withdrawn the ability of her third eye, she could clearly "see" the inky black, wildly surging black tide, which was twisting and stagnating in an extremely strange way.

Spreading over a range of several kilometers, the successive black tides became uneven. Part of it was stretched out, like a black line as thin as a hair, while the other part curled up into a ball, like a dense black tumor, with black holes of varying sizes constantly emerging on the surface.

These ones

The exorcism ability of the evil-repelling jade pendant is very limited, but it can still buy the train some time.

The most serious problem now is the "clone" that has locked onto him and is rushing towards him.

Shen Qiyin cast her gaze on Lin Qiutang, then looked at Dr. Zhou in the back, as well as the several carriages carrying the hope of survival for all the survivors, heading towards Huaibei Province.

She thought for a moment and finally sighed helplessly.

Will there be a day when I will carry firewood for everyone?

Forget it, that thing is coming for me. Now that it has come to this, there is no need to drag more people down with it.

Shen Qinyin reached into her pocket and grasped an exquisite antique mirror.

As her mind moved, a line of words immediately appeared on the page of the notebook:

[Do you want to spend 500 Desire Stones to upgrade the "Ordinary Antique Mirror" to the "Evil-Suppressing Bronze Mirror"?]

Shen Qiyin silently said "yes" in her heart, and then slowly took out the upgraded evil-suppressing bronze mirror.

This evil-suppressing bronze mirror worth 500 desire stones feels a bit cold in the hand. The mirror body is made of ancient bronze, and the surface is covered with tiny potholes and unevenness. One can faintly feel that some inexplicable power is wandering inside.

The edge of the bronze mirror is engraved with a circle of intricate and exquisite patterns. These patterns are like clouds and fog, entwined with each other, and in the center is a lifelike Taotie head pattern.

Taotie's eyes were slightly closed, the scales all over his body were of a warm color, and he lay quietly on the bronze mirror, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Sister," Shen Qiyin handed the bronze mirror to Lin Qiutang and instructed, "This is for you. Although the black tide is fierce and difficult to resist, this bronze mirror should be able to hold it back for about an hour.

The train still has more than five hours to go before Huaibei Province, and only four hours until sunrise. Unless there are any accidents along the way, the Kuroshio Current will be too fast to catch up with you."

Lin Qiutang suddenly realized something and grabbed Shen Qiyin's wrist: "Wait, what are you thinking? Don't tell me you are planning to..."

"Sister, listen to me." Shen Qiyin smiled and said gently, "You should know very well how bad the current situation is. That thing has set its sights on me. If I don't leave, everyone will be buried with me.

There's only one way I can think of to turn this situation around, and it's no exaggeration to say that this is a gamble with your life. But this kind of thing has been happening almost every day since the end of the world, so it's nothing surprising, right?"

"Qiyin!" Lin Qiutang couldn't help but tremble, and even her voice was trembling uncontrollably. "You, do you know what you are saying..."

"We have no other choice, sister."

"If that's the case, then I want to go with you!"

"But these survivors still need you."

Shen Qiyin cast her gaze behind her. Everyone had a heavy expression on their faces and was silent, like dying people waiting for the god of death to judge their fate.

Inside the carriage, the survivors had already closed their eyes, leaving their fate to fate.

Faced with a "god" like Kuroshio who is unable to fight back, the lives of ordinary people are like grass and they have no control over their own lives.

"Sister, you are also responsible for restoring civilization and order. The happiness and lives of the people are paramount. This is your creed as a government worker, right?"

"me......"

Lin Qiutang was immediately gagged by these words.

On one side are responsibilities and beliefs, and on the other side is the safety of loved ones.
