Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1233 Ragnarok of the Gods (9)

(bgm—"Awaken (Instrumental)" League of Legends)
What is it like to launch more than 200 "Scarab missiles" printed with "СССР" and the red star logo at the same time?
It's like a bolide shower that covers the light of the moon rising from the sea, and the flames and white smoke that screamed with devils are like a counterattack flag that is gradually rising.Following this banner and going straight to the stargate position in the sky, there are more than 200 flowing rainbows.The carrier brigade composed of the Winter Palace, the Teutonic Knights, and the Chosen Ones of Hydra chased the missiles that flew into the air, like Thor frantically driving the skycar, and galloped towards the dazzling position of the star gate.

Its sound roared.

Its momentum is majestic.

Its light is bright.

Bai Xiuxiu looked up at the brilliance that illuminated a corner of the sky, and heard the roar of blood in her veins.

Soon, the star gate position, the dense missile group like rain, and more than 200 chosen ones with their shields on were connected together.First, more than 200 "scarabs" reached the highest point, fell down from the air at high speed, and reached the periphery of the position in an instant, rendering the cold and dark night sky and the sea into a radiant glow.Almost at the same time, countless skills were also thrown towards the Stargate position, and after a while, they bloomed like fireworks. Amid the deafening explosions of missiles and skills, a carrier column dived towards the position from a higher altitude , Like a torrent, it suddenly dispersed the star gate's defensive formation.

Among them, one of the carriers flew higher and fell faster, like a waverider missile piercing through the air with a colorful arc, breaking into the dense crowd. He appeared and disappeared, and went straight to the center of the formation holding it high "Three Phases from the Sky" is like a flare-like Henry Spencer Morgan, with an unstoppable posture.

Obviously, it was using the latest SS skill "Chang Feng" developed by "Tai Chi Dragon". The reason why this skill is only rated as "SS" is because it must be combined with the latest Qinglong IV combat mechanical parts to be able to use.When the two are combined, the carrier can fly at high speed like a supersonic vehicle, and has a strong penetration capability. Any skills will be deflected by the shock wave before it touches it. As for the missile, it cannot be locked at all.

Li Yuankai obviously recognized this strange way of advancing, and murmured, "Is this 'Long Wind'?"

Bai Xiuxiu nodded and said softly, "Yes."

"Where is. Who is it?" Li Yuankai was already stuttering with excitement, "Sun Sun Yong?"

Bai Xiuxiu smiled, and quickly replied: "No, it should be Gu Feifan." She paused, and said softly, "He should have come with Cheng Mo."

No one could hear the name behind it clearly. In the next second, they and many soldiers on the deck witnessed a nuclear bomb-like scene. The user of the "Long Wind" seemed to collide with the defenseless Henry Spencer Morgan. Together, this blow is so concise and thorough, and this light is so grand and majestic, reflecting the rational light of sacrifice and faith in the sky.

That is the innate instinct inherited from 103 years ago in the blood of Tai Chi dragon warriors.

It was night, and the 24-year-old Gu Feifei completed the most magnificent scene in his life.With a self-destructive attack, he forced Henry Spencer Morgan, who was ranked ninth on the celestial list, to die under his own skills, which became the biggest joke in the history of the Chosen One.

__________________________________________________
Of course, Henry Spencer Morgan would not consider the future situation. In fact, what makes him sweat at this moment is not a series of explosions and the mysterious group of chosen ones who broke into the position, but the expanding "Three Phases of the Sky" in his hands .

He is now facing a dilemma: release the "Three Phases of Heavenly Fall" now and let this terrifying skill explode in the center of the position; or wait for the enemies who are already close at hand to kill him and let it explode in the center of the position.
Either way is an unforgivable ending of destruction.

The only difference is his own way of death.

He raised his head and saw a man wearing an unmarked combat uniform surrounded by bright white light. He could see a resolute and ferocious face behind the helmet. In the corners of his eyes, blue eyes gleamed with anger.

It's just that the blue color is a bit unnatural. He heard the cry of "Ula" in the distance. He didn't have time to distinguish so much, so he subconsciously chose to immediately release the "Three Phases of the Sky", and used teleportation to escape from the opponent's attack. Attack, while avoiding the opponent's fatal blow, he thought to himself: "Could it be the sun flower flag?"

This question leads to two more: "Where do these Ennoth come from? Have they allied themselves with the 'Tai Chi Dragon' and joined the battle."

Henry Spencer Morgan's back felt cold, his heart was pounding, and every organ in him was on alert, both because of these chosen ones who came out of nowhere, and because of the white light that devoured him.

He regretted and was startled, but before the pain of regret hit his brain, the pain of his body came first.

The distance of "teleportation" is not enough for him to escape from his own "Three Phases from the Sky", even if he has only completed half of the charge, his carrier cannot resist the power of the "Three Phases from the Sky" within the explosion range .His eyes lost color, leaving only a piece of pure white in his vision.At the moment of turning into DNA, he saw countless indistinct DNA helices rising in the bright white light, and he could also hear rumbling noises.

He had already foreseen the ending, but he still couldn't accept it in his heart.

"How did it suddenly become like this?"

Henry Spencer Morgan couldn't believe it, and perhaps the only thing that could give him some consolation was that the power of "Three Phases from the Sky" was indeed very powerful.

So strong that even he can kill himself with ease.

__________________________________________________
The vast light completely illuminated the entire night sky, and the sudden explosion of "Three Phases from the Sky" was like a huge flash bomb that almost blinded everyone's eyes.

Bai Xiuxiu also couldn't help closing her eyes, but she could feel a burning pain through her eyelids. When the discomfort dissipated, she opened her eyes again, and saw Athena supporting the vast Energy shield, this huge energy shield covers almost all ships.Then she saw flames and mushroom clouds rising high above the shield, rising into the sky, obscuring the light of the moon and stars.

At this moment, all the people outside the core explosion area froze in the white light, including Scott Mellon who was trying to hold Athena down. He looked up at the sky, the light filtered by the helmet goggles was still It made him squint his eyes, and behind the bright white, he saw faint pieces of DNA helixes one after another. There is no doubt that the more than 300 Stargate Chosen Ones who had occupied half of the sky just now were wiped out with one move.

The battlefield entered a strange silence and silence amidst the roaring sound. The impact of radiation storm and nuclear electromagnetic pulse on Athena's shield stirred up colorful particle smoke and dust. The long-term bombardment and long-lasting dust The explosion of the cloud call was so lengthy and so beautiful that the shield Athena propped up was like a rainbow illuminating the sky.

The world is so cruel, yet so beautiful.

After a while, the white light gradually dissipated, and night struck again.The Tai Chi Dragon soldiers standing on the deck and the surviving Stargate Chosen stared at each other through the unextinguished flame.The exoskeleton of the Tai Chi dragon warrior was covered with blood, ashes and meat scraps, and although his face was exhausted, it was full of bravery.And the Stargate Chosen Ones floating in mid-air had a dazed face, as if they hadn't figured out what happened yet.

Under the cool moonlight, in the eerie silence, no one on the two sides moved, and even held their breath, only the wind and waves caused by the "Three Phases Falling from the Sky" were left swaying between the sky and the earth.

Even the dolphins in the distance have stopped chirping.

At least for this moment.

The scarred hull of the No. [-] ship shook in the shocking explosion, and the hurricane in the sky rolled up the surging waves.

Bai Xiuxiu was the first to break the balanced silence. She softly said two words from her dry lips, her voice was calm and full of strength, "Fire! Fight back!"

Li Yuankai subconsciously turned his head to look at Bai Xiuxiu. The combat helmet covered most of her face, but he could still see her eyes full of burning anger under the goggles. They used burning to rhetorically beautiful, which made people feel that there was a kind of Self-destructive tendencies, he saw in this new general a strength to commit himself to death with gusto.

This power makes people tremble.

He came back to his senses, and immediately yelled hysterically into the microphone: "Everyone is there, fire! Counterattack! Hit me hard!" He rushed out of the island, raised his hand in the 20th style, and the rapid fire light returned. Once lit up the sky filled with black smoke.

Zhang Zuoyong was the first to respond, raising the aviation machine gun. The red fire chain and the rattling of the machine gun were like loud horns.

Whether it is the people on the ship or the people flying in the air, they all faintly heard the passionate voice that traveled through 97 years, "Di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di di",

This is the sound of the charge horn hidden in the heartbeat of the Tai Chi dragon warrior, and it is also the soul song from hell in the memory of the star gate warrior.

A beam of flares swayed its body and slowly climbed to the top of the dark night.

After a short pause, the fire and blood started to burn violently again.

Bai Xiuxiu raised her head. In mid-air, beyond the rainbow shield supported by Athena alone, the light of "Three Phases from the Sky" had collapsed to the tail, and the bleak last quarter moon gradually emerged from the languid light. Outline the true state of the war in the blood.

Flares continued to rise into the sky, and the searchlight pillars were bright, and the feeble light illuminated the flying blood, scattered flames, and thick black smoke.Bullets poured like scalding raindrops towards the group of Stargate Chosen Ones who had entangled Athena not long ago, and those unknown Chosen Ones were starting to surround them.Some of those Chosen Ones were knowledgeable, and they didn't immediately strangle them into the Stargate Chosen Ones, but circled them together and used long-range skills to consume them.This method also allows the gunfire of the Tai Chi Dragon fighters to no longer be used for defense. They use all tools and weapons to cooperate, and unscrupulous firepower pours on the Star Gate Chosen who were still invincible just now.Shouts and gunfire echoed against the sky, and the gunfire and blood once again dyed the midnight red.In the artificial sunset glow created by violence, the ship with a few flames was driving slowly among the turbulent black waves, pulling smoke, and left the sky where the explosion had just happened in an unhurried manner, no longer so hasty.

But the war has not subsided, on the contrary, it has revealed a more bloody face in the final stage.

The word "counterattack" may be related to victory, but it has nothing to do with security. The star gate's chosen one who fights against trapped beasts is unprecedentedly fierce.Cause Tai Chi dragon fighters to sacrifice faster than when defending.

The sound of the explosion never stopped, Bai Xiuxiu bent her body and ran to a bunker with only two corpses left beside the ship island, she tried to pick up the sniper rifle in the hands of the dead soldier, but she couldn't pull it out, she leaned against the bunker, Breaking open his bloody palm, she took the sniper rifle in her hand. She immediately turned around, put the gun on the iron box covered with blood and started shooting. The golden bullets of the sniper rifle shot at the The Stargate Chosen One, who was still invincible just now, shoots, and from time to time, it will penetrate the body of the Stargate Chosen One who is still struggling.

Just as she hit the enemy again, emptied the magazine, and reloaded the bullet, she saw helplessly that not far in front of her left, behind another bunker, was aiming an aviation machine gun at a star with extremely strong combat power. Zhang Zuoyong, who was shot by the Chosen Men, seemed to anger the other party. The man took the time to throw a red light at Zhang Zuoyong. This red light is extremely hidden, and it is difficult to be found in the rain of bullets. When it is on top of Zhang Zuoyong's head, it is too late to dodge. Yes, he, the bunker, and the soldier behind who pulled the trigger were blown up at the same time, debris rained, and flesh and blood flew in the sky. Four or fifty meters away, Bai Xiuxiu was covered in blood spots.

"open"

Before Bai Xiuxiu even had time to call out his name, she watched another old colleague dissipate like dust and smoke. She was used to it, and her heart was already flooded with blood.If there is anything shed from her eyes, it must not be tears.

She didn't even have time to think about it, she turned the gun head, aimed at the chosen one and continued to shoot, mechanically, ruthlessly, coldly, and continued to shoot, before the victory came completely.

War is the melting pot of life.

Everyone may be melted into a wave in the torrent of history.

Not long after, a golden light pierced the sky, Athena put away the light shield and joined the massacre, the situation became one-sided, the Star Gate Chosen was completely defeated, and the Chosen who killed Zhang Zuoyong tried to escape by throwing himself into the sea , but after being split into a DNA helix by Athena, the battle really came to an end.

When the last stargate candidate turned into a spiral, all the gunfire ceased, Bai Xiuxiu was exhausted, she felt that she would fall down at any time, but she knew she couldn't fall down, so she pushed her tired body out of the bunker Standing up from behind, he followed the white light of the searchlight and looked around, but he didn't see a few people who could still stand.

It seemed that she had finally persisted until the end, but her heart was empty and her body was at its limit. Then she remembered that she had not eaten for more than 50 hours in a row, but she didn't feel hungry at all. Instead, she wanted to vomit and put Heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were all spit out on the blood-stained deck.

In a trance, the surroundings gradually became lively, painful groans, urgent calls for help, low-pitched cries, and dull collisions echoed in her ears.

All of this is endless, as if it will never end.

In fact, feelings are not equal to time, and soon she saw that the logistics personnel and the combatants in the cabin all ran out, and everyone started cleaning and rescue under Li Yuankai's command.

She couldn't stop yet, another battle against the god of death began, this time the main force was the medical staff.Despite the psychological expectations, the tragedy on the deck still frightened the medical soldiers. Many female medical soldiers couldn't help crying. The scene was too tragic, and the crying on the deck disappeared not long ago The sound of guns and guns is still permeating.

Bai Xiuxiu put the sniper rifle back into the hand of the dead soldier beside him, saluted, turned around and walked into the crowd, joining the rescue work.Everyone looked sad. They held on until the enemy retreated, but it was not a victory at all.She saluted everyone with her body that was about to collapse, and told them in a gentle and awe-inspiring tone, don't be depressed, this battle is a great victory, and it is her honor to fight side by side with everyone.She tried her best to comfort and encourage everyone, the wounded, support personnel and soldiers who survived the battle.

Probably because of her encouragement, the crying subsided, and the rescue work started in an orderly manner. It seemed that everyone's condition was not so bad.

It's just that repeating these words of gratitude and comfort over and over again made her gradually numb, and she couldn't tell whether it was the real voice in her heart or it was mixed with responsibility.

In short, she must be strong and calm.

Amid the intermittent sobs, she looked down at the sticky blood under her feet, thinking: This ocean has buried countless corpses of young people from the Xia Kingdom.

For this reason, she felt the cold, and the tiredness growing from her bone marrow.

----------------

Amidst the light illuminating the world and the deafening sound, Cheng Mo took his eyes away from the periscope. For him, this battle is over, and now he has to consider how to end it.He didn't continue to watch the next plot, but turned around and walked towards the rest cabin.Across the thick sea water and the thick steel body of the submarine, the thunderous noise continued, as if it would never stop.

The entire submarine resonated slightly. He climbed down the stairs in a tremor. When he passed the cab, he felt a more violent shaking. The old submarine swayed, and he couldn't stand still, like earthquake.The mottled mechanical components around them also groaned "buzz, buzz, buzz", as if the submarine would fall apart at any time.

Cheng Mo supported the wall and stood in the narrow passage for a while. When the vibration had almost disappeared, he continued to walk in the direction of the rest cabin. When he reached the area of ​​the rest cabin, he heard Gu Feifan's shout: "Fuck! I almost killed him! Just a little bit!"

This shout aroused the dissatisfaction of the Ennosi people in the cockpit, who cursed loudly in Ennosi language.After a few seconds, Gu Feihua lost his voice, probably because he activated the carrier again and joined the battle again.

Cheng Mo wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at the void. He returned to the rest cabin where he and Athena lived. The fish in the room had been moved to the kitchen, and the residual fishy smell had not completely dissipated. The aroma of Athena, other smells made him a little unacceptable.He twitched his nose a few times, and couldn't tell whether the smell was worse in the submarine or the fishy smell.Shaking his head, he closed the door helplessly, and moved a tin box full of ice cubes on the table to the bed.

Inside the tin box were several sliced ​​tuna sashimi, which he left for Bai Xiuxiu.

Cheng Mo is not sure if Bai Xiuxiu is still in the mood to eat, he hopes she will.

Then he thought again, maybe she wanted a drink more.There are still a lot of gin and tonic, soda water, and lemons on the submarine, which must not be available in the alcohol-free Tai Chi Dragon Fleet. He plans to take these things with him when he goes to the third ship.

After putting away the tin box, he took the rolled map to the table and re-laid it, then took out the chess from the drawer, took out a white "King" and placed it in the sea area where the third ship is currently located, and placed it A white "castle" was placed at the estimated location of the Fourth Fleet.Then while he was playing with a black "King", his gaze also turned to the small southern sea area.

In his eyes, the blue sea has turned into an irregular chessboard, and all the bases of Tai Chi Dragon and Star Gate have become key strategic nodes, and the fierce game between Tai Chi Dragon and Star Gate appeared in his brain.It's a pity that the long underwater voyage made Cheng Mo unable to communicate with the outside world. The information in his hands is really not enough to speculate on more developments of the situation.According to the information he has observed in Emperor Haishan, the only thing he can think of is that since the third fleet is not the main target of Stargate, then the conspiracy of Stargate is bigger.

There is nothing more important than the third fleet and the generals, only the southern waters.

Undoubtedly, more intense and intense battles must have taken place in the southern waters at this time. It seems that the corner of the "Emperor Seamount" has not received enough attention, or the decision-makers of Stargate believe that the third fleet has already It's in the pocket, so not even a god will be sent over?
Cheng Mo is not sure, he thinks the latter is more likely, after all, the third fleet and the god general are also important enough, if he hadn't brought Athena, eleven submarines and more than 200 chosen ones in time Arrived, the ending of the annihilation of the No. [-] Fleet cannot be reversed. Without any of these three, it is impossible to create miracles. Even the planes sent by the No. [-] Fleet and dozens of chosen ones are indispensable one ring.

He stared at the map and thought for a long time before placing a black "King" on the north side of Blue Bird Island, and placing a black "Pawn" between the white "King" and the black "King" .

"This is a typical Ivans gambit start!" Cheng Mo said to himself in the empty room, "Soldiers who haven't reached the bottom line can't turn back."

____________________________________
"Reorganize the attack, and this time I will leave the third fleet alone." Henry Spencer Morgan yelled at the communicator in "The Guardian".

The hideous face of Henry Spencer Morgan could not be seen on the communicator, but the heavy breathing was clearly audible on the channel. The other commanders were afraid to speak, but the commander in charge of the "Transportation Point" had to speak .He said cautiously: "But...but sir, we only arranged the 'resurrection point' on two transport planes. It takes time to calculate and reset. There is no way to arrange so many carriers to be resurrected at the 'transportation point' at the same time."

"It's over!" Henry Spencer Morgan's grim face flashed before his eyes as the words echoed in Henry Spencer Morgan's mind, hitting his heart like a boulder.He shuddered, fear turned into anger, "I don't care, I can arrange as many people as I can, even if I fly from the Ford now."

"Sir, all our planes have already flown to the southern waters, and even the fourth god general has personally supervised the battle. There are no usable planes on the Ford. If we want to continue to carry out the attack on Taijilong No. , might as well inform the Nimitz, they."

Scott Mellon interrupted the commander's narration, and said in a low voice: "Calm down Henry." He paused, "The most urgent thing now is not the issue of the third fleet, but the chosen ones who will join the battle later Where did it come from!"

Only then did Henry Spencer Morgan remember the pair of unnatural blue eyes he met before the explosion, and he seemed to have grasped at straws, "Yes! Yes! Those people should be the people of the 'Sunflower Banner'! I It means that the people of Tai Chi Dragon are all under our surveillance, how could there be so many Chosen Ones out of nowhere. It must be that the people from the 'Sun Flower Banner' have already formed an alliance with Tai Chi Dragon! These bloody bastards"

Scott Mellon was not sure that those people must be the chosen ones of the "Sunflower Banner", but he swallowed some doubts back into his stomach for the time being, "Yes, we have to inform Lord General God as soon as possible and let him do it." Just be prepared." He sighed and said, "We've actually won this operation, if it wasn't for Athena and the damned Ennoth, we could have won more"

Henry Spencer Morgan's voice calmed down, "You're right, you're right, Scott" he said through gritted teeth, "If it wasn't for the damned Ennos, whether it was Bai Xiuxiu or Athena, It's all in our pocket!"

————————————————————

Cheng Mo took a rubber boat to the vicinity of the No. [-] ship. The giant boat plowed the sea and turned up black waves. He looked up and saw that the scarred aircraft carrier was bigger than he imagined, like an upside-down ship. steel mountains.

At this moment, only he and Lermontov are on the rubber boat. Athena, Gu Feihua, and Guan Bojun have been sent by him to chase the transport plane and early warning plane that Stargate wants to withdraw. is the most critical thing.

The tall Ennosian Lermontov was also looking up at the No. [-] ship. He said softly in the Ennosian language: "Sometimes I really don't know whether human beings are great or cruel, and they can build miraculous machines. It's just a pity that they Not for worship, but for killing"

"Greatness and cruelty do not conflict, Lermontov." Cheng Mo said in a low voice, "The piano and the aircraft carrier are both human creations. Without death, all emotions will lose their meaning. A person's life is a life of fighting against death. War It's the sharpest form of expression."

Lermontov smiled, "Your language is like a poet, like Pushkin, I think you must be very good at writing love poems in order to win the heart of a goddess like Athena." He shrugged, "Of course, and Our noble and proud little Hermitage princess"

Thinking of Yan Yitong Chengmo's headache, he pretended not to hear, "Send me up!"

"Okay, my lord." Lermontov showed off a thick jet of water, lifted up the entire rubber boat, and slowly rose like an elevator until it was parallel to the No. [-] aircraft carrier.

Cheng Mo picked up the environmental protection cloth bag on the seat and boarded the No. [-] ship that was moving slowly. The sea breeze was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was especially unpleasant mixed with the gunpowder smoke.All the searchlights on the ship island were turned on, illuminating the messy deck. Everyone was busy, some were carrying the wounded and dead bodies, some were sorting out weapons, and some were cleaning the vacated deck. As for those temporary structures The bunker was not removed, probably because the people who were afraid of the stargate would turn back again.

He looked around, and soon found Bai Xiuxiu in the crowd. She was holding a girl with a red cross on her arm. The girl with the pear-blossom hair was trembling in her arms, with her head bowed, tears streaming down her face. rushing flow.Looking at the situation, it should be that the girl has a problem with her mind, and Bai Xiuxiu is trying to comfort her.Probably the battle was too fierce.

Cheng Mo told Lermontov to go back to the submarine first, and walked towards Bai Xiuxiu with an environmental protection cloth bag.The first step he stepped on was a puddle of sticky stuff. He lowered his head and the deck was messy. It was impossible to find a clean path.The pitted deck was covered with blood, bullet casings, a jumble of spare parts, and indistinguishable grime.Taking a closer look, he quickly raised his head again, and it was clearly pieces of meat, internal organs and broken bones.

Even Cheng Mo, who has experienced so many bloody and cruel scenes, will inevitably feel a little unbearable and throbbing when he sees the picture in front of him.He continued to walk forward, kicking the bullet casings and passing through the bunkers that were full of bullet holes and burnt by skills. The smell became stronger and stronger, and he could only hold his breath and breathe through his mouth.As far as the field of vision is concerned, it is even more shocking. It can be said that any novel or movie describing the war is not as horrifying as the scene in front of you.

There is a limit to the human brain's imagination of cruelty. If the war was nothing more than what is shown in novels and movies, there would not be so many people suffering from post-war trauma syndrome, and a large number of people would need to rely on Medication is what gets you through the rest of your life.It's as if reality is only more bizarre than novels and movies. It is absolutely impossible for us to imagine what a real war is like with words and pictures.

Cheng Mo thought that his heart was as hard as iron, but everything in front of him still made him feel heavy, as if he walked into the cold winter in the warm Pacific Ocean.He tried his best not to observe those heartbreaking details, staring at Bai Xiuxiu's haggard and beautiful profile from a distance, and approached her in a bloody place without haste.When he was about to reach her, amidst the heartrending noise, he heard Bai Xiuxiu's mature and soft voice trembling in the cool sea breeze, so the disgusting sea breeze seemed not so annoying.

"I know it's not easy, and I know that everyone has never faced such a cruel thing, but we have to face all of this. Who calls us soldiers?!" Bai Xiuxiu raised her hand to wipe away the tears of the female medical soldier , "You never cried when facing a bullet, why did you cry instead? As a medical staff, your smile will also give courage to those wounded comrades in arms! So muster up your courage and try your best to smile!"

"I...know, but he said he said he... lost his right hand, so he couldn't shoot anymore. He begged me, begged me, to help him. Find me. I found it. Okay. A few right hands, but... but none of them belong to him. I've been looking for them for so long. None of them belong to him!"

Bai Xiuxiu's expression froze at the choked-up sentence of the female medical soldier. She raised her head slightly, as if emotions were about to come out of those beautiful eyes.

(BGM - "Puppet" is still QQ music)

Cheng Mo stopped in his tracks, and just outside the bunker where Bai Xiuxiu was standing, he silently watched her.The bright light shone on her pale cheeks, her once charming and sharp eyes were a little dull, red-threaded, surrounded by black halos, her dry lips were covered with scabs of blood, her long hair was tangled, stained with oil and blood clots, her whole body was Not a single part of the exoskeleton is good, it's either scratched or broken.This is not the Bai Xiuxiu he knows. The woman he knows always has exquisite makeup and decent clothes, and keeps her elegant and charming all the time.Her appearance was obviously more pitiful than that neatly dressed female medical soldier, yet she still spoke softly and patiently to comfort others.

She should be a glamorous star under the spotlight, a rich woman with both wisdom and beauty, or an elegant officer in uniform sitting in the office, even a housewife confined to a corner
After all, she shouldn't be here.

It is unreasonable and logical to think so, but Cheng Mo thinks so.

He watched Bai Xiuxiu silently and looked up at the deep starry sky. He probably held back his tears before he lowered his head and said softly: "I'll accompany you to find it, but there's nothing we can do if we can't find it. Installing a robotic arm, the organization will not give up on him, we will not give up on him, and you are not allowed to just give up like this.”

The young female medical soldier raised her sleeves and wiped away the tears covering her face, then nodded.

Bai Xiuxiu patted her on the shoulder, "Let's find it together!"

Cheng Mo stared at Bai Xiuxiu and turned around, about to face him face to face.It was a short and long moment, and before they saw each other's eyes, time was like a bullet still in the muzzle of a gun.It was such a pain before the trigger was pulled.But after pulling the trigger, it was an indescribable collision, perhaps painful, perhaps fortunate.

Bai Xiuxiu saw him, but to each other, this unexpected encounter seemed to be separated by the ever-flowing Santu River.

In order to meet, he came to this huge ship full of death.

This is a heavy look at each other, but it is also a look at each other full of warmth. The highest peak of Bai Xiuxiu's life is also the lowest point.She thought that no matter how many years later, even if all the plots would become blurred, she would definitely remember these eyes that twinkled like stars.

Because she knew that if it wasn't for him, maybe she, as well as this fleet, would have slept forever at the bottom of the deep and cold ocean.She is not afraid of death, but this concerns the fate of a fleet and a country.

This burden is heavier than that of the entire Pacific Ocean.

So heavy that even death cannot repay.

This should have been a touching and exciting moment, but the two of them didn't know what to say, and looked at each other speechlessly.

"White God General"

The female medical soldier who didn't know the worldly way broke the silence, Bai Xiuxiu turned her head subconsciously, avoiding Cheng Mo's direct gaze.

Cheng Mo rarely saw an intoxicating blush on Bai Xiuxiu's paper-like cheeks, which was a true beauty that countless guns could not render.

In the next second, Bai Xiuxiu felt a strong dizziness, perhaps the tight heartstrings finally relaxed, and her willpower could no longer support her standing like a flag. She felt that the whole world was spinning, and her body was shaking. soft, falling into the darkness.

"Be careful!" Cheng Mo whispered, his hands were quick, and he held Bai Xiuxiu who was about to hit the deck in his arms.

The medical soldier, who was belatedly aware of it, froze for a moment, raised his tear-stained face and exclaimed, "Ah~~~ Hurry up and send General Baishen to the infirmary."

Bai Xiuxiu, who was lying in Cheng Mo's arms, closed her eyes and waved her hands, and said in a low voice: "Xiao He, I'm fine, but I'm a little dizzy. It may be because of low blood sugar. Let me take a rest, let me take a rest. I will accompany you to find it."

The medical soldier interrupted Bai Xiuxiu eagerly, "General Bai, don't think about it so much, you'd better go to the infirmary to have a look!"

Bai Xiuxiu still didn't open her eyes, "I'm really fine, it's just a small problem, there's no need to crowd out medical resources"

"There must be something wrong with you. Why is your face so red suddenly? Could it be a fever?"

Cheng Mo had no choice but to stop the medical soldier from continuing to be stupid, "Just leave Baishen to take care of me, and you can go and do your work."

The female medical soldier looked suspiciously at Cheng Mo, who was neat and clean, and was still wearing a white T-shirt, black slacks and canvas shoes, as if he was on vacation, "Who are you? It doesn't seem to be on our ship, right? You don't even wear combat uniforms. "

Finally, Bai Xiuxiu couldn't help but opened her eyes, waved her hands and said weakly, "Xiao He, go and do your work, I really don't need you."

"Do you really want me to care?" the female medical soldier asked worriedly.

Cheng Mo glanced at the ignorant female medical soldier who was quite speechless. He bent down and directly hugged Bai Xiuxiu under the dumbfounded gaze of the female medical soldier, "I'll take you to find a place to rest."

"Don't..." Bai Xiuxiu struggled, "Let me go by myself."

Bai Xiuxiu's attitude shocked the female medical soldier deeply, as if she completely forgot that she was out of shape from crying just now, and she also forgot that she was on the battlefield, staring at Cheng Mo with wide eyes.

Cheng Mo just hesitated for a moment, and hugged Bai Xiuxiu even tighter. He walked quickly towards the ship island, and at the same time said softly without looking sideways: "No one will notice us, they are all going to the elevator platform. " Then he turned his head and said to the female medical soldier who was still in a daze, "Hurry up and do what you should do, remember not to talk nonsense."

Bai Xiuxiu didn't answer, only her heavy breathing passed through the wind, she closed her eyes again, acquiescing to Cheng Mo's actions.She didn't say in a low voice until she felt Cheng Mo stop at the gangway and the entrance, "Go up to the fifth floor, there is my rest room."

"Yeah." Cheng Mo nodded.Bai Xiuxiu's height is also 170cm, and the gangway on the island is narrow, so he could only squeeze her curvy body, and leaned a little, walking up the gangway cautiously, "Be careful."

The searchlight on the rear side of the ship island was completely out of reach. As for the other lights, they had already been extinguished. The sound of footsteps was "thump, thump, thump", and his knees tapped the environmental protection cloth bag hanging on his knuckles, rhythmically "thump, thump, thump". Bang, kuang, kuang, ding, ding, ding" played a brisk song.

Every time he stepped up the stairs, he had to be careful to avoid bumping into Bai Xiuxiu. His actions were also very gentlemanly, and he didn't mean to offend Bai Xiuxiu at all.Sensing Cheng Mo's inconvenience, Bai Xiuxiu put her arms around Cheng Mo's neck in the hazy darkness, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

The distance between the two people was very close, and the breathing was very close. The moonlight lazily passed through the turbid air, giving a few rays of light to the stairs with corpses left. Through the iron railings, the rugged reflection made them like They are trapped beasts licking each other's wounds in the cage.

Bai Xiuxiu remembered that when she was wandering alone on the sea, her greatest wish was to lean on his shoulder and drink a glass of gin and tonic. At this time, one of her wishes was easily fulfilled, and her blood-soaked heart bloomed roses.In the warmth of comfort, she rubbed his back, making sure it was not a ridiculous dream, and whispered in his ear: "Do you think there will be ghosts in this world?"

Bai Xiuxiu's breath was very soft, like soft candy in the ears and lips, and it was heart-stirring even in such an environment.Cheng Mo held his breath and concentrated for a while, resisting some inappropriate thoughts, and then replied: "If it was before, I would definitely tell you no, but now, I can only say that this is beyond the scope of my knowledge."

"When Gao Xu died, I very much hoped that there were ghosts in the world. Although I am not a superstitious person, I tried many methods with hope. I can't do these things myself, so I let my mother-in-law and Xiaomei Go. Once my mother-in-law found a very well-known sorceress who said she was psychic and could talk to the souls in the underworld. I knew it was impossible, so I went. It was a very remote country, and I had to drive several times. When I was young, there was a Sanqing Temple on the hill behind the house where the goddess lived. The house was lonely at the foot of the mountain, far away from the town. My mother-in-law and Xiaomei and I entered the house, and were led into a small room by the referee. Sitting in the middle of the room, she was wearing a red floral padded jacket, with an old jade hairpin on her head, and a bowl of rice on the table. She seemed to know who I was, and said to me directly, open the door and leave A small slit. I did as she said. She also said that you three sit down, you sit in the middle, and when the time comes to lead the dead into it, don’t move around, or you will disturb the soul. Saying sorceress is on the table The bowl of rice on the table was filled with incense, and she began to say some words. Then she opened her eyes and closed her eyes, and talked to me in two different tones. It was amazing that she not only said The layout of my room, I was still imitating Gao Xu when he called out my nickname, and then he said a lot." Bai Xiuxiu paused for a breath, she moved her head, "I said a lot of inexplicable but a little bit It's like what Gao Xu said. Xiaomei cried so hard that she completely believed what the witch said and gave her a lot of money. I think there are quite a lot of doubts."

Cheng Mo thought that before, he would have said, "If I had, I would have asked you to find a good man to marry! For example, someone like me", but now he shut up, this is the first time Bai Xiuxiu told him about it. The matter of her deceased husband is not the right time to joke. The most important thing is that he is not qualified to joke with Bai Xiuxiu. He is a married man with a child. It is ridiculous to think about it.

So he just asked an insignificant question, "What's your nickname?"

At this time they climbed up to the fifth floor, facing the dark corridor, he stopped again.

"I won't tell you." Bai Xiuxiu stopped narrating, "Can you see it? Go inside, the fourth room."

"I can see it." Cheng Mo said, the corridor was narrow, he walked sideways inside, the inside was extremely quiet, the air had no smell of blood, it looked very fresh, as if it was a different world from the deck.

"This is the one." Bai Xiuxiu said.

Cheng Mo stopped, watching Bai Xiuxiu raised his hand to press the fingerprint lock in the dark.He gently kicked the door open and carried her in. The room was cramped, with only a bed and a small desk. The white moonlight came in from a narrow window, like a flickering white candle amidst the sound of the waves.

He put her on the bed, and put the tin box, gin, soda water, and lemon environmental protection cloth bag on the table, and asked softly, "Shall I help you take off the exoskeleton?"

"I will do it myself."

Bai Xiuxiu barely propped herself up, and Cheng Mo hurriedly took a pillow for her to lean on. His eyes were able to adjust themselves very early, and even in the dark, he could clearly see that Bai Xiuxiu's hands were shaking weakly. buckle.He sat on the edge of the bed, and without waiting for her to refuse, he started to undo the buckles on the side of the exoskeleton near him, and then he leaned over to undo the buckles on the other side, one after another.

Cheng Mo's movements are very gentle, causing people to have a daydream of what will happen in the next minute.The atmosphere was a bit awkward and lonely, like lonely and strange men and women living together in a dimly lit small room.

When Cheng Mo uncovered the exoskeleton, revealing the close-fitting black combat uniform inside, which looked like a warm NEI suit, Bai Xiuxiu, who was getting short of breath, straightened up again, and said softly: "It's ok."

Cheng Mo stared at the blood-stained underclothes, pressed down Bai Xiuxiu's slender hand, his fingertips seemed to touch ice, so he held her soft and boneless hand tightly, as if To pass on some warmth to her.

Bai Xiuxiu turned her head away and even closed her eyes, leaving only a sharp profile facing him.

Seeing bloody scars everywhere under the tattered clothes, Cheng Mo said distressedly and angrily, "It's all hurt like this. I have to send you to the infirmary."

"No, don't go. The medical department is too busy right now, so don't cause trouble for them. My minor injury is nothing. You go to the drawer and find the first-aid kit for me, and just apply some medicine on me. We The Chosen One's body recovers quickly." Bai Xiuxiu looked at Cheng Mo, and seeing his resolute face, she lowered her head and whispered, "I beg you."

When did Cheng Mo hear Bai Xiuxiu speak to him in such a low voice, his heart softened, and he sighed, "Aren't you afraid of leaving scars on your body because you care so much about maintenance?"

Bai Xiuxiu gave Cheng Mo a blank look, "If you stay, you stay, anyway, no one can see."

"Am I not human?"

"You don't even want to see it in the future."

Cheng Mo smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Bai Xiuxiu's sulky tone seemed coquettish because she was too weak, probably aware of this problem, she turned her face to the side of the wall again, like a shy rose in the night wind.

Cheng Mo didn't mean to make fun of Bai Xiuxiu either. He got up and searched through boxes and cabinets to find the first-aid kit, and sat back on the bedside again. He took out the flashlight first, lit it up and put it on the bedside, and then dug out the debridement and disinfection supplies and Scissors, on the edge of the bed. "I'll help you cut the clothes." He said softly.

Bai Xiuxiu didn't answer, the face hidden behind the light seemed calm, but the slightly trembling slender eyelashes and the undulating mountains betrayed her.

Cheng Mo's breathing also became inexplicably disordered. He picked up the scissors, lifted up the bottom of the not-so-thin black long-sleeved T-shirt, and quickly cut it open.Fragile "嗤啦" filled the room, like dense water vapor, making Cheng Mo sweat like rain.When he cut it to a place where he felt as if he was facing an abyss, he chose to cut it horizontally, barely allowing the close-fitting clothing to protect the key points like a holy light.

Bai Xiuxiu's breathing became a lot faster at this second, and even a drum-like heartbeat could be heard in the silence.

Cheng Mo looked at the messy wounds on Bai Xiuxiu's delicate skin, but he didn't care about anything else.He used povidone iodine carefully to disinfect bit by bit. Fortunately, the protective force of the exoskeleton was still sufficient, and the wound did not need stitches, just bandaged with sterile gauze.

It may be that Cheng Mo was too focused and serious, the ambiguous and awkward atmosphere between the two gradually disappeared, and Bai Xiuxiu began to confide her experience to Cheng Mo.Intermittent, always think of where to say.To her, Cheng Mo was just a junior, just a subordinate, but that was the past.Now Cheng Mo is already an adult who can share her worries and let her rely on her.

".I was really shocked when I received your message. Before I went to sea, I never thought that I would face a situation worse than Europa. It is really thanks to you. If I didn't receive your message, I couldn't imagine it. what happens."

"In fact, it can't be worse than today. Maybe there won't be a war. Uncle Xie was forced to go to the field, and Taijilong signed a friendly agreement with Xingmen."

"You are less yin and yang."

"Have it?"

"Do you still want to hear me talk?"

"You say, you say"

Cheng Mo took a cotton swab and dabbed it gently on Bai Xiuxiu's porcelain-like skin. Her body trembled slightly due to the pain, the red scars also shrank, and his heart also tightened.

".I watched Kong Li's body slowly rotting away. I felt extremely hopeless. I didn't think that no one would know where everyone died. I really wanted to die in the Pacific Ocean. At that time, I was in the closed When I close my eyes, I will imagine myself sinking into the sea, the light gradually disappears, and I slowly fall into the darkness, which is quite romantic.”

"Sister Bai, people can't easily admit defeat to death!" Cheng Mo stopped his movements, he raised his head and stared at Bai Xiuxiu in the dusty light, and said seriously and seriously, "I have also done so many times. I have struggled with death. Escape and surrender are bad choices. I also wanted to surrender. At the moment when Xie Minyun turned into light in front of my eyes, I felt that my world was dark. There was no light, no people, and all desires Disappeared, no desire for life, no fear of death, just like being locked in a gray empty space. At that time, I just wanted to destroy the world, as for life or death, I didn’t care at all But then I survived, I told you that it was Xiaomei who saved me, but I didn’t say that I was in a daze during that time, except for instinct, I had lost my thinking and wisdom.”

Speaking of this, Cheng Mo paused, he changed a cotton swab, stained it with some purple iodophor, leaned over slightly and slowly applied it on the red wound like a gap in white porcelain.

Bai Xiuxiu grabbed the sheet with both hands and closed her eyes.

Cheng Mo was sure that she was not because of pain, but because of unspeakable reasons. While continuing to move his hands, he said: "I glimpsed some ethereal happiness in my instinct, and I grabbed her, like an addiction. I I don’t care if it’s correct or not, it doesn’t matter, I just want to fall, sleep in the fall, eat after waking up, and continue to sleep hard after eating. Fatigue is also a kind of pleasure. Even if this kind of happiness doesn’t touch the soul and bone marrow, it’s still a pleasure. Short, like a firefly. I listen to Xiaomei's electronic music, sit by the swimming pool and watch her dance, very charming. When the desire is burning, I will pick up the whip and enter the other side of the primitive, savage, hidden world. Side. Guilt is also a very beautiful feeling, very interesting. It just so happens that the yacht is also called 'carpe diem' (carpe diem), I think it is not impossible to spend a lifetime on this yacht. What direction does life need? Maybe Whether you need it or not, there will always be a direction, your spinning in place is a kind of direction, and your falling down is also a kind of direction. I know that I surrendered to death, and used the way of escape.”

In the strange pain, Bai Xiuxiu bit her lips tightly, and the crystal sweat was densely packed on her forehead, like morning dew on flower petals. She asked in a trembling voice: "Then what happened next?"

Cheng Mo raised his head to look at Bai Xiuxiu, and immediately thought that this kind of Bai Xiuxiu was very tempting, and Xizi's love was probably nothing more than that. He looked at it for a long time, and then smiled and said: "Later, I was locked up by Athena. I told you the same thing. But I didn't tell you how I spent my time in it, a few slices of bread and a bottle of water every day, a cramped concrete room, no windows, only a hard bed, and no one to Communication, it’s still a robot that delivers meals every day.” He lowered his head and continued to treat Bai Xiuxiu’s wound, and continued lightly, “You can hardly feel the passage of time in it, and all material and desires are far away from me. This time I was really caught Trapped in a space with nothing but darkness. I have nothing left but consciousness. I think death can't be worse than this? But I don't feel particularly lonely in it. I have a lot of books in my head to read, and I Even comprehend the "Book of Law", and can use skills with the body."

"What?" Bai Xiuxiu sat up in shock, immediately took another breath, and slowly leaned back to the head of the bed. She frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"Wait." Cheng Mo whispered nonchalantly, "I'll take care of your wounds first."

Bai Xiuxiu didn't speak, but stared at him in the halo of the flashlight.Cheng Mo's movements are careful and focused, and there is a sense of sacredness, like painting on canvas, making an abstract painting.

Cheng Mo put gauze on the last wound and asked, "Are there any clothes for you in the room?"

"In the closet."

Cheng Mo got up, found a looser shirt from the cabinet, and handed it to Bai Xiuxiu. At this time, her upper body was like white paper with dozens of lines of correction fluid.While she was dressing, he walked to the small desk by the window, and when he took out the tuna, he saw the history books on the desk, and his eyes stayed on the red, white, and black spines for a while .When another person takes another person's words to heart, what it means is self-evident.

Then he thought of himself again, as if he was no longer who he imagined.

Time and the people in his life have really transformed him more than he imagined.He took out the tin box from the burlap bag containing the fruit first, then took out the gin, lemon and soda, then turned to look at Bai Xiuxiu, "Should I have some tuna sashimi first? Or a glass of gin and tonic first?" ?”

Bai Xiuxiu didn't answer. She sat on the edge of the bed and stared at him for a long time with her lips pursed. She just stared at him blankly without saying a word, as if she had a thousand words to say but couldn't say anything.

Cheng Mo also stared at her, and the light of the flashlight printed her shadow on the door, like a silhouette photo at an art exhibition.Probably all literary youths will be obsessed with this kind of scenery, saving photos of moonlight, sea waves, portholes and flashlight apertures, not to mention the person in the photos.She hovers between the secular and literary, extravagant and not deliberately showing off her luxury. When you look at her, your soul seems to have a moment of respite.Unfortunately, when you lower your eyebrows, you will lose again. You know that you can always look at the moon, but the moon will never be yours.

I don't know how much time has shifted the moonlight, Cheng Mo said first, "How about a drink first?" He raised the green gin bottle in his hand, "TANQUERAY" is a very cheap gin, "Although the wine is not very good, I think the wine I concocted will not disappoint you. Of course, if you feel that it is inappropriate for you to take the lead in breaking the rules."

Bai Xiuxiu seemed to have just recovered, she quickly shook her head and said: "No." She turned around halfway, took off the flashlight on the bedside, placed it on the side of the bed facing the wall, and sneaked into the shadows "You know? When I'm floating alone in the sea, what I want most is to drink a glass of your gin and tonic. I'm willing to pay any price."

"what about now?"

"What's the matter now?"

"What price are you willing to pay now?"

"what do you want?"

Bai Xiuxiu asked with a smile, this is the first time she laughed today, Cheng Mo saw her sitting up, put those slender and round legs down on the edge of the bed, the hem of the shirt could not hide the fantasy of the moonlight, the white and delicate lotus feet On the floor, a little bit of Koudan is like blood falling on the snow.Her chin is so sharp, and her eyes are so long and charming. Obviously, this kind of appearance won't get a good evaluation from her parents. It's too ecstatic, like Daji.But no one can deny her beauty. When you look at her, you will clearly feel what beauty is.No matter what kind of soul is contained in this pair of skins, it will not damage this fascinating face.Her beauty is so straightforward and simple, it makes people's willpower vulnerable.

Cheng Mo's heart flickered like a flame, as if a cold vessel slid across his skin, every cell was trembling. "I was just joking." He responded with a dry voice.

"You're getting more and more timid." Bai Xiuxiu teased.

Cheng Mo lowered his head, avoiding Bai Xiuxiu's slightly provocative gaze.To hide his embarrassment he started making gin and tonic.In order to show that he can use skills with his body, he first condensed two ice glasses and put them on the table, and then condensed a bar spoon for mixing drinks.Under the frosty moonlight, the ice cup was crystal clear, almost exactly like a crystal cup.

Bai Xiuxiu's expression became serious, she lowered her voice and said, "Why didn't you tell this matter earlier?"

"The "Book of the Law" is not something everyone can learn, and it is not universal. What's more, there are great restrictions. For example, I practiced hard without sleep for two full years in a completely closed prison before I could barely I have learned it, and it is not very useful if I have learned it. I can't even use some low-level skills. I didn't make a breakthrough until this year and I can use some low-level skills. This is because I don't have Ouroboros, so I am helpless." Shrugging his shoulders, "To be honest, it's not worth spending time on this. In terms of efficiency, it's far inferior to the 'God Gene'. When the 'God Gene' comes out, the Book of Law won't make much sense."

"Then you should tell me too."

Cheng Mo heard some sadness and dissatisfaction, he took out a tissue, wrapped it on the ice cup, and handed the adjusted "Gin and Tonic" to Bai Xiuxiu, "Then what I want for this glass of Gin and Tonic is your understanding."

Bai Xiuxiu glared at Cheng Mo, took the ice cup, "It's not that easy."

"Then have another drink?"

Bai Xiuxiu sneered.

"I promise I will never hide anything important from you again."

"What counts as important? What counts as unimportant?"

"You have the final say." Cheng Mo replied sincerely.

Bai Xiuxiu snorted softly, then raised her glass and took a sip of the crystal clear wine, closed her beautiful eyes, and let out a long sigh of relief, "I feel like I'm alive."

Cheng Mo smiled, "I felt the same way when I ran out of Hydra and drank the first sip of Coke."

"With Athena?"

"Together with Athena." Cheng Mo restrained his smile, "She is a good girl, I am not good enough for her."

Bai Xiuxiu took another gulp of gin and tonic, and sneered, "Who are you worthy of?"

Cheng Mo coughed violently a few times, and then said with a bitter face: "No one is worthy, I have self-knowledge."

"Not at all." Bai Xiuxiu changed her tone again, and she handed the empty cup to Cheng Mo, "One more cup."

Cheng Mo took the cup and put it on the table. He first wrapped the tin box in an environmental protection bag and handed it to Bai Xiuxiu together with the fork, "You have something to eat first. The freshly caught tuna is very fresh. I see you like this." You must have not eaten for a long time!"

Bai Xiuxiu looked at the tuna piled up on the ice, and her heart throbbed, as if she was participating in a ceremony.She couldn't understand it either, but it was just a hug, two cups of gin and tonic and a few pieces of tuna, and she was deeply involved in the ritual of sacrificing herself.She knew she was stepping into an incurable trap, maybe not a trap, she knew what was ahead, but she couldn't openly object to the idea of ​​walking into it.She picked up a piece of red fish with a fork, as if it had been inserted into the heart.

She ate it slowly.Carefully.

Cheng Mo didn't pay attention to the change of Bai Xiuxiu's expression. He turned around and mixed a glass of wine for Bai Xiuxiu, and said, "I took her to rob the bank, or to be precise, the ATM. We were penniless, and then She took the stolen money to eat barbecue, that was the first time she drank coke, she felt happy, and I felt it too, I never thought that happiness is such a simple thing, just like when my heart just returned to normal, I ran along Jiefang Road alone. We boarded a cargo ship and watched the sea eating grilled fish. The sky was so clear at night that I could clearly see the shape of the clouds. I stood by the railing and breathed the sea breeze. I also feel so light-hearted! But I became less happy in Syria again. The war destroyed the peace everywhere, and the sound of gunfire was an unpleasant experience. Later, when I returned to Xiangjiang, I thought I didn’t care , but at the moment when I got off the plane, I saw the familiar text, and my whole body became light again. I was also an ordinary person, and I would also feel nostalgic. I took Athena to play around and introduced all kinds of good things to her. Food. We sat on the terrace of the hotel, admiring the night view of Mount Taiping and Victoria Bay, and I taught her Chinese and simple Cantonese. Not long after I returned to the capital, I saw you again." He handed the wine glass to Bai Xiuxiu, I also picked up another glass and toasted her, "On that day... I deeply realized that being alive is really a very beautiful thing!"

Bai Xiuxiu wanted to say "me too", but she didn't say it after all.

There was a crisp and pleasant sound as the wine glasses collided, and the two drank it down in one gulp.

"I know! How could I not know?" Bai Xiuxiu said while holding the cup, "But when I returned to the No. [-] ship, it was endless sacrifices and battles. Regarding the death of Dean Chen, I can't explain clearly." Unknown feeling, feeling sorry for him, and feeling that he shouldn’t just walk away like this, leaving God to throw this responsibility on me.” She smiled wryly, “If I don’t think about it, I’d forget that I’m already a god general now. To be honest, I had such expectations before, but I got it. I just felt that the burden was so heavy that I felt fear in my heart. Standing in the war room, I looked at Dean Chen’s body and thought of the burden on my shoulders. So many lives, and the country's responsibilities, I really don't know how to choose. I thought at the time that I couldn't do it, and I would die like him. If Athena hadn't appeared in time, I was already planning to blow myself up. , Others say that I am calm and strong, that I am brave and fearless, but they don’t know that, in fact, I just want to end all this as soon as possible, I just want to die quickly, I don’t want to continue to stay in the war.”

When she stopped, Cheng Mo asked, "Another drink?"

Bai Xiuxiu nodded.

Cheng Mo took the cup from Bai Xiuxiu's hand and adjusted the third cup of gin and tonic.

".Just now, I saw Gu Feifan appearing. I knew that victory was just around the corner. I thought I'd wait until the dawn finally appeared. But I saw that Zhang Zuoyong was blown up. He was injured and could have been hiding in the cabin. Yes, I wish he wasn't so brave, and he wouldn't be blown into pieces. I searched for a long time on the deck just now, but he didn't leave any traces, just disappeared in a flash of lightning, like Like Gao Xu, there is no trace left. I know his wife and daughter. Before he came, he told me that if he couldn’t go back, he asked me to take care of him. He also joked that the man dared not entrust him. "Bai Xiuxiu's words were a little cramped, like a groan squeezed out of her throat, "I just glanced at him at that time, and I was in a bad mood, but I didn't shed a single tear. I feel that my heart is so hard. Colleague, I can’t cry. All soldiers are very brave. No one is afraid of death in war. As an officer, I am very worried and proud. I think of you and feel that this mentality is wrong. I also complain If I can’t do better, I can’t sacrifice a little less for everyone.”

Cheng Mo put the adjusted gin and tonic into Bai Xiuxiu's hands, "You have done a good job. I dare say no one can do better than you. Why do you have to criticize yourself?"

Bai Xiuxiu shook her head, "Everyone has credit for being able to persevere until the end, but those who have given their lives must be the ones who deserve the most credit. Those who are still alive, including me, should thank those who died. On the deck just now, When I faced everyone's confusion, I could only repeat the words of gratitude over and over again, but at that time I couldn't tell whether it was the real voice of my heart, or it was mixed with some factors for show to appease everyone." She His voice lowered, ".I'm so tired."

Cheng Mo stopped what he was doing, restrained the urge to hold Bai Xiuxiu into his arms, and said in a low voice, "Everything is over."

"Only the dead can see the end of the war." Bai Xiuxiu raised her hand and drank the wine in the glass until there was no drop left. She has a good capacity for alcohol, but today she is a little drunk.

"Sister Bai, I know it's a bit unreasonable to say this, but as a chess player, it is irresponsible to pity the chess pieces. The world is like a chessboard, and everything is a chess piece. The rules of the game may be the laws of nature, or human beings. If you want to win and avoid sacrificing more pieces, chess players must be ruthless."

"Can I not understand these principles?" Bai Xiuxiu said solemnly, "But the world should not be a chessboard, and human beings should not be chess pieces."

"So we have to kill those who claim to be chess players and smash the old world." Cheng Mo said in a low voice.

Bai Xiuxiu looked at Cheng Mo, her bright pupils flickered with disbelief, "You have changed, this is not something you would say."

"Have I become what you want?"

Bai Xiuxiu blinked, "Then do you think it's good or not?"

"Good or bad, there is no answer now, maybe there will be no answer." Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders, "There is no problem in this world that needs an answer."

"If you say" Bai Xiuxiu stared at Cheng Mo and said, "I need your answer."

Cheng Mo closed his lips tightly and remained silent for a long while, then said softly: "Just now you said that you went to the witch to ask Mi. If I die, you will go to the witch to ask me if there is anything I want to say to you? "

Bai Xiuxiu froze, her cheeks flushed.Her heart was a little confused, because she found that she didn't know when she betrayed her dead husband, maybe it was just now, maybe it was planted a long time ago. She even started to imagine that Cheng Mo was her husband.She lowered her head, she wanted to tell Cheng Mo that she didn't want him to die, and she didn't want to go to the sorceress to ask Mi.She just wanted them to survive the war, and she could stand by his side without fear of any gossip.She doesn't need to know what he wants to say to her, she just wants him to accompany her to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, see those dilapidated city walls, and those faded pottery figurines.She also fantasizes about singing KTV with him, as if this is a bit outdated, nowadays young people are popular in playing secret rooms and playing script killing, the behavior of going to KTV seems a bit silly, if he likes it, she is willing to learn.She thought again that he had just carried her across the long deck, and she was resting on his shoulder, giving birth to the warmth of the long-lost home.Her palms were sweating, and she subconsciously thought that thinking like this was treasonous, but her eyes fell on Cheng Mo's lips, and she was so impulsive that she wanted to kiss him with all her strength.She had never had such a strong desire for anything, even though she clearly knew that she could not be his spouse.

He has a wife.She is also much older than him, she shouldn't be so stupid.

She is still a hero now.

She can't.

The small room was swallowed by the distant tranquility, and she was walking on a path completely opposite to her vision.Maybe she is still struggling, but what restrains her is no longer her own emotions, but other worldly, cumbersome and heavy dogmas.She knew that her feelings belonged entirely to him.

In the painful silence, Bai Xiuxiu's exoskeleton vibrated on the floor, and the beating sound of "buzz, buzz, buzz" pulled her back from her disappointing and overwhelmed thoughts.She completely avoided Cheng Mo's sight, bent down and took out the communicator from the jacket pocket of the exoskeleton and pressed the answer button.

Li Yuankai's voice drifted out, "General Baishen, Ms. Athena and Gu Feifei, with the cooperation of Liu Tong, snatched back a Stargate transport plane, which is equipped with the Stargate resurrection point system. And the fourth fleet has already joined us. Communications established, they will be at Emperor Haishan in no time."

"How far is it from us?"

"There are still 160 three kilometers."

"What about the transport plane?"

"It is circling over the No. [-] ship. Now they are discussing whether to let Ms. Athena lift the plane directly. It is a bit difficult, and Ms. Athena is not sure if it will be successful."
