Headshot Wizard - Chapter 598

Chapter 598
Lance, who was still a half-year-old at the time, was in the crowd, watching the scene. At that time, he swore that when he grew up, he would become such a hero.
It is a pity that the subsequent development has failed to meet people’s wishes.
The threat of aliens was lifted, human beings were also greatly injured, and a long period of recuperation began.
Perhaps the most ironic aspect of human nature is that only in times of desperation can people show that kind of selfless temperament.
When order was established bit by bit, classes and levels began to be divided bit by bit. Heroes with great power naturally gained greater rights.
Some of the heroes began to treat ordinary people as inferior. This view quickly gained more people’s approval.
In the relatively peaceful era, human beings emerged from the shadow of licking scars hiding in the corner, and began to become the masters of this earth again. But within human beings, a clear division has begun.
Ordinary people are reduced to inferior people, and superpowers become hot ones.
This may not have occurred to those who died on the battlefield.
And Lance, who has no superpowers and can’t afford to install a gene chip, is undoubtedly reduced to inferior people.
Whenever he thinks of these past events and memories, Lance sighs.
He hasn’t remembered these memories for a long time.
Those are memories of a tragic childhood: the half-bowl of porridge made by the mother, the constant coughing of the father before his death in bed, the wild cat with cold eyes outside the window sill, and…
A little girl feeding the cat.
Those pictures were touched again after many years, and Lance only felt a sense of vicissitudes of life.
So that when he fell into his own thoughts, he didn’t even see Diana’s weird face.
…
When Lance finally woke up from her memories, Diana kindly reminded: “We will be there in five minutes.”
“Where?” Lance asked vaguely.
“Huaxia District, the eighth airport in Donghang City.” Diana said.
Lance was a little surprised: “Didn’t you go to Tibet?”
“We have made arrangements for the big crack. Three days later, there will be a hero from the elite team to perform our planned mission. So we still have time. Besides, don’t you want to go back home and have a look? ?”
Faced with Diana’s unpredictable attitude, Lance chose to change the subject:
“Since there are still five minutes, let’s discuss Paramount’s problem. If I’m not mistaken, you should want me to join your team, right?”
Diana squinted her eyes like a sly Persian cat.
She stroked her hair, nodded and said, “It is true.”
“Because there are only a few people on the entire earth, who have not been polluted by quantum storms, but they have more power than ordinary people.”
…
When the stealth plane finally stopped, Lance got off the plane slowly.
Donghang Airport No. 8 belongs to the Tiandeng Bureau. When Lance stood on the runway of the airport, feeling the sun shining on him, there was no special feeling in his heart.
The sun is very warm. Compared with the old times, the air quality in the new era is not known how many times better. This may also be the change brought about by the quantum storm. After all, after this catastrophe, mankind has also developed many new energy sources. There are always pros and cons in everything.
Unlike Manhattan, neither the initial quantum storm nor the two subsequent alien invasions, or the invasion of other monsters, did not destroy the beautiful city of Donghang. On the map of Huaxia District, the population of this city ranks among the top ten. Even in Asia as a whole, it can be ranked in the top fifteen.
It’s just that compared with the cities of the old era, the cities of the new era always have something the same—indestructible energy shields, chaotic and poor outer areas, and safe and warm inner areas.
The northeast corner of the city is a relatively less run-down gathering point.
Lance walked in the corner of the city, and the ruins after the devastation that year were faintly visible. It’s just that under the hard work of people, more and more areas inside the defensive cover have been cleared out.
After passing a corner, the small building in front seemed a little different from the hazy appearance in memory.
But the same is that it is still so shaky, it looks like it might fall down at any time.
In fact, when Lance and his parents moved out of the underground bunker twenty years ago and moved into this small building, the small building looked shaky.
Unexpectedly, twenty years later, it still looks like that.
He walked quickly close to the small building and walked through a courtyard.
208’s window was still tightly closed. He stopped for a while in the yard, thought for a while, and finally walked in.
Nothing has changed in the room, except for a lot of dust.
A family portrait from many years ago was placed in the most conspicuous part of the living room. It was a yellowed photo of a young Lance and his still-beautiful mother.
Work materials from three years ago were scattered on the desk, and two broken pens were still lying quietly on the edge of the corner.
Lance flipped through a notebook, familiar and clumsy fonts, which he had written before crossing.
Keeping a diary every day was what his mother had always asked him to do when he was young.
He finished on time every day until the countercurrent event happened.
Everything in the old house is so full of memories. For a moment, Lance even had the urge to stay.
But in the end he still walked out of this room with a wry smile.
After all, the past is over.
No matter how cruel the past is modified by memory, it will always become better, not to mention those memories are always cherished for Lance.
He walked out of the courtyard, ready to leave.
Who knew that at this moment, a familiar and unfamiliar “meow~” sound rang in his ears.
A black and thin wild cat, standing on the fence of the yard, was looking at Lance with a vigilant look.
It stared at Lance with bright eyes for a while, then suddenly ran over very affectionately and rubbed Lance’s trouser legs.
“Hey, long time no see.”
Lance smiled at the black cat in a low voice.
The black cat meowed twice as a response.
This black cat is definitely an odd number among cats. It has been there since Lance moved into this yard twenty years ago. People drove him away and didn’t go, people fed him and didn’t eat it. It has been hovering near the courtyard.
In Lance’s memory, it only ate what was fed by one person.
“Three years have passed, she should have left long ago?”
Lance shook his head, and suddenly saw a flash of spirituality in the black cat’s eyes, and suddenly wanted to bend down and hug the black cat.
It’s rare to come back, it’s better to take something with you.
After all, this cat and him are old acquaintances.
Who knows that when Lance was bent over, the black cat was quite alert, jumped straight and avoided Lance, then quickly climbed up the fence and looked at Lance with a vicious look.
It does not want to leave here.
Lance laughed dumbly. He randomly turned on a death gaze, and sure enough, he discovered the abnormality of this black cat.
Its soul fog is comparable to human beings, probably one of the consequences of the quantum storm. As long as this small mutation does not endanger the survival of human beings, most people will not care about it.
“No wonder it can live so long.” Lance laughed self-deprecatingly: “The life of this cat is probably longer than that of ordinary humans.”
After strolling around, Lance took a deep breath, and finally left his former residence quickly.
People still have to move forward after all.
He did not forget the purpose of this trip.
…
Half an hour after Lance left, a woman in a white dress hurriedly walked into the courtyard.
Her face was calm, but when she saw the black cat on the fence, she showed a long-lost smile.
It seems that the tiredness of the days has disappeared.
She hasn’t lived here for a long time, but she still comes back to see this black cat from time to time.
I can’t say why, maybe it’s just a habit.
Women spread out the food in the bag. Exquisite cat food is not easy to obtain in this era.
The black cat leaped over excitedly, standing in the yard one by one, eating and talking.
Women habitually talk to the black cat about daily trivial matters.
“The house here has been unoccupied since the man disappeared three years ago. How can you live alone?”
“I am going to Tibet tomorrow. I may not be able to come back for a long time.”
“You are alone…no, a cat, take care of yourself…”
“Hey, I don’t know where that man went. I searched the database in the bureau many times, but found nothing. Did he disappear?”
When talking about this, the black cat suddenly stopped eating, but meowed.
The woman saw the abnormality, but didn’t pay attention, just touched the black cat’s head and soothed it.
The black cat ate stuffed dullly, eyes blank.
No matter how smart it is, it is only a cat after all, it is impossible to speak human words.
Can’t tell her that the man has just returned.
…
When returning to Earth, the spirit in the bottle once gave Lance a coordinate. That coordinate is a rough range, marking the place where the other half of the plane’s heart may exist.
The reason why Lance wrangled with Diana was that he hoped to find the other half of the Plane Heart here as soon as possible.
According to the instructions of the coordinates, he ruled out the possible strongholds one by one, and finally came to a stadium-like place.
“If there is not yet, then you have to summon the spirit in the bottle again.”
Lance looked at the abandoned stadium in front of him, and finally walked in.
The elf in the bottle is sleeping. He needs time to recover his energy. If it is not the most important time, Lance will not try to summon him.
He walked into the arena, his mental powers were fully aware, and he wanted to sense whether there was any abnormal substance nearby.
Who knew that at this moment, a series of sirens sounded in his ears.
