Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 981 Bianca

Bianca had been hiding in the East Ninth District for four days. In order to avoid the detection of those men in black, she had to dismantle the cyborg prosthetics on her body that used energy crystals as a source of energy. The body is hiding in the dilapidated abandoned residential area.

She lives in a half-collapsed ruin, and smears the cold and smelly mud dug out of the sewer on her body to reduce the body surface temperature to avoid thermal infrared detection equipment, even though the temperature control system of this residential area has long been scrapped, whether it is The temperature was only around freezing during the day and at night, and Bianca could only grit her teeth and endure the cold.

She didn't want to die, what's more, her life was bought by those teammates who got along day and night with their own lives.

It's not that Bianca doesn't want to stop her, it's just that she knows very well that even if she wants to stay, they won't agree - the result of not being decisive is to waste precious time and make them pay a greater price, or even pay in vain The price makes those sacrifices meaningless.

When they proposed to let Bianca escape first and leave the rest behind, Bianca knew that she could not persuade them. The obsession to live on.

Her life no longer belongs to her alone, so she must not die.

Even if she couldn't avenge her companions, at least she had to get the news out.

People who work as mercenaries, although they say they sell their lives for money, have an unwritten rule - even if they die, they must die with value, no matter if the value is money or something else.

Like a stray wild dog who was beaten to death and abandoned on the street corner is the most disgusting way of death for them. Even if they can't resist, at least they have to bite a few times... Even if they can't be bitten, they must at least send a message to those people. Angry barking.

Bianca was huddled behind a half-broken low wall, wrapping herself in a blanket that had been deliberately soiled.There is a big gap at the joint of the blanket, and the piercing chill is constantly pouring in from the outside along this gap... However, Bianca, who only has one hand, can only grab one end of the blanket—the upper part and the lower part of the body. It will be numb from the cold, and if you grab the lower end, the cold wind will continue to drill into the neckline.

Her consciousness is already in a semi-dissociated state, cold, tired, hungry... If she is a character in an MMORPG game, there are probably so many negative states that the status bar can't fit.

Her ballista was left not far away. During the daytime battle, the ballista was severely damaged, but she was unable to repair it with only one hand left... In fact, this ballista The cannon is now equivalent to a pile of scrap iron, but even Bianca herself doesn't know why she has to carry it with her.

Perhaps it is to pursue that ethereal sense of security?
She couldn't help thinking of the "last mission" that caused her to lose her right eye, right arm and right leg... At that time, she also thought that she was going to die, but at that time, she didn't have the fear of death. What I want is just a sense of relief that is about to be released.

However, the doctors at the rear hospital pulled her back from the death line, but because of this, the cost of rescuing her had exhausted the military compensation budget. After that, Bianca could only Receive a very meager amount of retirement compensation and the lowest level of disability compensation every month. This money can only provide the lowest level of living expenses except for the cost of follow-up maintenance treatment and daily medicine. Weird-smelling protein lumps, hard-to-eat synthetic food and cheap vitamin supplement tablets, she has been eating this diet for half a year, and during this half-year, she owed a lot to the hospital for completely healing the injury money.

She has no money to install a prosthetic body, and it is amazing perseverance to be able to take care of herself with this crippled body—even daily life is full of troubles, let alone earning money.In the dead of night, Bianca thought of ending her life more than once.

She remembered the first words that the doctor at the rear hospital said to her after she woke up: "You are lucky, you didn't die...but in the days to come, living may be more painful than dying."

The pain combined with the embarrassing days made Bianca realize what it means to be warm and cold - almost all her comrades-in-arms with whom she was close were killed in that mission, and their families had to face the hardships of poverty while suffering great pain. Due to the economic situation, no one can help her... Someone once suggested that she rely on the media for help, but the messages she sent to the media did not receive a response at all.

Those emails are obviously "read", but the person who read it seems to have forgotten after reading it.

In order to survive, she once worked a very "special" job in the black market - many pretty women would choose to sell their bodies when they were desperate.Bianca, who has been tortured by life and has no dignity at all, doesn't care about those things that are very important to normal women, but her mutilated body and terrible scars make many male guests stop... She is there I stayed in the small building painted with ambiguous pink paint for a month, but did not complete a "deal".

However, the "boss" of that small building did not drive her away, but introduced her to a group of very special... no, perhaps using the adjective very perverted is more appropriate...

Not only will those people not lose their "appetite" because of her disability, but they will become more excited because of it... However, their methods are even more bottomless. In half a month, Bianca was tortured to death .

She escaped from that place in the end, but she still keeps in touch with one of those people... that is a person who makes money from loan sharks, and she borrowed a sum of money from that person with an outrageously high interest rate With this loan, she fitted herself with the cheapest second-hand prosthetic body.

This kind of second-hand prosthetic body is dismantled from the corpse, and can be bought from the staff of the incineration plant at a very low price. After simple cleaning and renovation, it flows into the black market who perform illegal plastic surgery on people. in a private clinic.

After putting on this set of mechanical prostheses that can only be described as "garbage", Bianca felt as if she had come back to life again. She found someone she knew in the army and bought one that was about to be scrapped. After picking up his pistol, he stepped into the wilderness.

It took her four years to pay off the loan sharks, and she also got a set of military-grade prosthetic body—although it is not as high-end as those produced by big companies, the price of the military-grade prosthetic body is affordable for ordinary people. That said, it can already be regarded as an unattainable sky-high price.

Few people know the stories between Bianca’s retirement and becoming a mercenary, but she quickly became famous after becoming a mercenary. Everyone knows that there is a severely disabled retired soldier with a high completion rate of difficult missions. Horrible, and her income crushed most of her peers... In four years, she had changed from a disabled person who was almost crushed to death by life, to a rising star in the mercenary world.

But only Bianca knows that the reason why she is today is only because she is not afraid of death and she is lucky enough.

This time, her luck seemed to be over.

Scenes of scenes flashed in Bianca's mind. The timeline of the pictures ranged from near to far, from the scenes that happened in the mercenary period at the beginning, to the dark days that she least wanted to recall, and then to serving in the Field Legion All kinds of things that happened during that time... In the end, she even recalled her own childhood.

She once thought that those things had been forgotten by herself.

She always remembered the others, and those memories were sealed in her head, but she didn't want to recall them.

Is this the so-called revolving lantern?Bianca murmured in her heart... I heard that a revolving lantern will appear in front of people who are about to die, and the life of this person will be played scene by scene like a slide show...

But when he was seriously injured and dying on the battlefield, he didn't seem to have seen the revolving lantern...

Could it be that this time, is he really going to die?
Just when Bianca was about to stop thinking, a strong sense of crisis suddenly gripped her heart—this sense of crisis seemed to give her a shot in the arm, and her heart, which was already beating very slowly, suddenly Pulsating violently, Bianca took a deep breath, and opened her slightly closed eyes instantly.

The carousel disappeared, and although the remaining limbs were frozen stiff, she could still feel their existence.

"I'm alive," Bianca said to herself, "I'm not dead yet...I can't die!"

The sense of crisis that awakened her was still approaching. She struggled to get up from the ground, knelt on the ground with her only left knee, and leaned against the wall with her bare right shoulder. A gap to observe the situation outside.

"Those things... have you found them again?" Bianca pulled out a military thorn with a broken front end and many cracked blades, and held it in her hand. A grenade was fumbled out of his pocket, and the index finger of his left hand lightly passed through the tab.

This military thorn and this grenade are her last weapons. During the four days of fleeing, she has really run out of ammunition and food... The reason why the revolving lantern appeared just now is most likely because she has not eaten for more than 40 hours And the illusion of being hungry...

She found a very puzzling thing: these men in black who hunted her seemed to know her well.Whether it's the action plan or some inconspicuous little habits, such as the habit of choosing routes and hiding places, and some subconscious actions during battle, they all know it clearly.

For example, on the first night, those men in black found Bianca's hiding place, but at that time Bianca was not as defenseless as she is now—or, that place was chosen by her. On the battlefield, she was lying in ambush there, waiting for these men in black to come to her door.

In the surrounding buildings, she set up a large number of booby traps, and at the same time buried four pieces of clay explosives under the two load-bearing walls of the building. As long as those men in black enter the building, she will detonate the explosives and kill them all. Buried in the ruins.

However, those men in black seemed to know her plan, they did not enter this trap at all, and none of the extremely hidden booby traps were triggered... When they appeared in front of Bianca like ghosts, Bianca had no choice but to escape.

They are not like enemies they meet for the first time, but rather like old opponents who have fought against each other for many years... Or, close comrades-in-arms who get along day and night.

Could it be that those who stayed behind...someone rebelled?

No, it's impossible.

Bianca shook her head vigorously. She didn't believe that those people would betray her... If they were that kind of people, they wouldn't choose to stay at all.

Since they chose to exchange their lives for Bianca's, they would never surrender, let alone help those men in black.

Could it be that some people couldn't bear the torture after being captured?That's even more impossible... Bianca believed in these comrades very much, just like they believed in her. Both of them were people who could entrust their lives to each other, and they would never do such a thing because they couldn't bear the torture.

The most important point is that these men in black understand themselves in too much detail... This level of detail is no less than Bianca's understanding of himself. Taking a step back, even if someone really confessed, It is impossible for these men in black to be so familiar with their own tactical thinking and action patterns based on what they confessed.

Bianca had an illusion that it was not the men in black who killed her comrades who were chasing her, but those killed by the men in black... her comrades!

Thinking of this, Bianca couldn't help shivering... She remembered something. When she was in the Field Corps, she heard that the research institute had a device that could read the memory of the human brain, even if the person was dead. Yes, as long as the time of death is not long, this kind of equipment can also extract memories from the brain of the dead.

Could it be...the men in black have such equipment in their hands?
Regardless of whether this guess is true or not, at least the reality is in front of Bianca, which forces her to consciously change her thinking mode and use completely unfamiliar fighting methods to deal with those pursuers...

It has to be said that it is a miracle that she can survive till now.

"Is this a kind of luck, or another form of misfortune?" Bianca asked herself in her heart, "Perhaps, at that time, it would be better to die on the battlefield?"

But since he is not dead yet, he must live on, even if it is only for a second, he must strive for it.

She could already see the figures in black, they had already surrounded the ruins and were shrinking the encirclement inward.
