Chapter 4 "Three"

Stairs leading underground.

After running to a more internal space, apart from the various cargo containers placed in disorder, this is the stairs leading to the underground.

It turned out that I was digging into a dead end!
Judging from the width of the stairs and the lifting device track installed according to the outline of the stairs.

The shipboard hangar should be set up underground.

This factory building is actually just a protective cover built to protect the launch tube of the carrier-based aircraft that must protrude.

"Lin Linman! Huh! Ho~!"

"Your body doesn't seem to be doing well."

I don't know if it's because I feel better after taking the reassurance pill, or because of some other reason, I also teased the panting guy in front of me.

"What do you think! Anyone, everyone is like you! Ha! Same!"

"Climb up every day, ho, climb down, cough cough!"

Sure enough, even his mood became lighter, and he joked with me.

"Drilling in and out!"

Just describing the facts, but look at this poor statement.

"That's true, but I'd be hungry if I didn't."

Suddenly realized if I said something wrong.

The atmosphere fell into silence, and only his uneven panting could be heard in the silence.

"sorry, I."

I waved my hand at the only remaining partner, of course I knew he didn't mean it.

So it's pointless to continue discussing this kind of thing.

It's just the environment.

There is always something to lose while gaining something.

So the world is fair.

But sometimes you get what you deserve.

And the loss is indeed irreparable.

So the world is unfair again
"Let's go, have you had enough breath?"

"Boom! Hiss~!"

"Well!"

The two who had just raised their legs to go down the stairs were suddenly frightened by the sound of an explosion in the distance.

At the same time, he slipped and sat down on the highest step.

"Bah! Spit! Spit!"

"What the hell! Sprinkle me with ashes!"

What to do, it's still embarrassing to think about it.

Do you want to say something at this time?

"Well, the alliance has started bombing again."

"Ah."

"Hey hey hey"

"Hahaha, look at your stupidity!"

Well, it backfired, so let's find an opportunity to change the subject now.

"Okay, let's go, time is running out!"

I don't look at his expression anymore, anyway, there must be nothing else but a smirk.

Maybe he's not so nervous now?
It's also a good excuse to get him to relax.

The stairs are not high, and after walking about two floors, you will reach the bottom.

It seems that there is no other way down.

"Look over there!"

Looking at the direction of the raised hand of the person behind him, the four carrier-based aircraft have already hugged the launch rail.

It is quietly waiting for lift-off.

Unlike the carrier-based aircraft technology used by the Alliance, the Empire prefers to use large carrier-based aircraft launch tubes, and one tube at a time can launch multiple carrier-based aircraft.

The giant launch tubes mounted on Imperial supercarriers can even fire an entire strike squadron at once.

Such advantages are self-evident, with a huge amount of launch, a group of aircraft that can cover the sky and the sun can be lifted into the air in a short period of time.

But the disadvantages are also very obvious: the preparation speed of the carrier-based aircraft facilities is extremely slow, and it is difficult for the carrier-based aircraft to stay on the launch track for a long time after completing the preparation.

This is harmful to both the launch tube and the structure of the carrier-based aircraft.

For example, the carrier-based aircraft that is now turned upside down by 180° and hung upside down,
Bloodstains?
Why is there blood here?
"Moral! Don't go inside yet!"

It doesn't look like the footprints that were left after being stepped on by others.

And there are thin radioactive blood threads near the bloodstains, which radiate from near to far.

Obviously, it looks more like it was splashed on the ground due to the opening of the wound.

While thinking, I still reached out and grabbed Moral who had just walked in front of me from the back, and pushed him behind a spare parts container.

"What’s wrong with you!"

Moral, who seemed to have realized something, also began to suppress his voice.

"Blood."

I reached out and pointed out that I also told Moral what I found on the ground just now.

The latter immediately jumped up and took out the kinetic energy pistol pinned to his belt.

It can be said that he has already understood what this means.

If the previous corpses died of internal fighting as I guessed, where did the blood here come from?

Being attacked from behind, can these so-called elite pilots really have a way to make an accurate counterattack immediately?
"Don't worry, it doesn't necessarily look like what you think!"

After pushing him completely into this small corner that seemed to be safe for now, he still patted his face lightly.

The body is so tense, it seems that he should feel the joy of surviving after seeing the carrier-based aircraft ready to go.

But now it's like falling into an ice cellar.

This world has to be said to be full of drama, and no one can guess what will happen in the next second.

He needs to calm down!
After a short and rapid panting, the young relatives who were under me gradually calmed down.

"Lin Man, I'm afraid!"

If you can look into his eyes like me, you can see the trembling soul through this window of the soul.

"Are we really going to die here? I don't! I don't want to!"

"But they're full of people! We can't get away."

"Okay, okay, calm down!"

The fragile soul deep in the heart seemed to be unable to bear such a strong pressure any longer, and cracks began to appear slowly.

"I'm so tired! I can't even run!"

"Moral!"

"Really! Lin Man! We really can't escape!"

"They! Are they really going to abandon us?"

I don't know if it was because of too much force, or too much fear.

Thin bloodshot eyes began to crawl all over his eyes, which looked extremely terrifying.

"You! You have a gun, and so do I!"

"Lin! Lin Man! Why don't we give each other a quick pass!"

"Listen to me! Moral!"

"Ho! Ho! You"

"Hear me out!"

Just when he was panting heavily again and really raised his hand, trying to reach for the kinetic energy pistol on my waist, I finally couldn't hold back.

"Snapped!"

The yellowed sunlight passed through the launch tubes of the carrier-based aircraft on the bottom layer, drawing long ribbons of color in the smoky underground.

Just like his breathing, the ups and downs of thoughts slowly pushed me to the edge of bewilderment.

The sound of crisp slaps kept ringing in my heart, and the lingering sound lingered.

I hit him.

I am also afraid, but I don't know how to express it.

I don't even know what it is that I'm afraid of.

Will I crash too?

The hand of the person in front of me who was struggling to raise finally twitched feebly, finally slowly clenched into a fist, and lightly hit my thigh that was pressing his chest.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I"

"Woooooo! Lin Man!"

You can feel the warm tears falling gently on your hands.

It's really hard to imagine that such a temperature comes from this guy who wants to give up his life.

Sure enough, in fact, he is still just a child, right?

"sorry!"

Let him get out of the way, and pick up the gun in the hand that I just pressed under my leg by the way.

How to do?
"Boom! Kalong!"

The demons in orbit continue to add to the environmental pressure.

Now his heart is filled with despair, can this exhausted body really support him to gain hope again?
He believed in me so much.

So I have to trust him too. Right?
"Give you!"

Seeing the moment I handed him the pistol, the soul that was about to split at any moment fell into a daze again.

"Hold it!"

"why?"

"The movement just now may alarm people here, I'm going to take a look."

"You take a good rest here and take it to protect yourself."

"Lin Man, why!"

"Listen, Angodos Morar, you are not yet at the end of your rope, you are not yet at the point of giving up!"

If hope is lost, give him hope.

If he still can't accept it, make hope what he has already accepted.

"Remember! Fate is yours to control! Even if you really can't hold on anymore and want to give up, there is still me."

"In the end, even if we gave up, I gave up with you, but now I haven't given up, I'm still struggling, believe me, okay?"

Need to hurry up, if someone approaches us at this time, the consequences will be disastrous!

"Trust me like I trust you now, okay?"

"Woohoo! Lin Man!"

Become!

Although it shouldn't be, I still resolutely chuckled in my heart.

"You take a break here, I'll go ahead and have a look!"

"Remember to watch my ass!"

Although he remained silent, he could still be seen nodding slightly, and then grabbed the pistol in his hand.

The splattered blood was facing forward, so it can be inferred that his wound was on his chest.

This can also be confirmed from the handprints on the ground.

It should be that after the wound burst, one hand covered the wound, and the other supported the ground.

Therefore, the splattered blood was not obvious, and slowly dripped on the ground through the hands, and finally there were only a few silky splatter marks.

So in fact, it can be inferred that someone was injured in the battle above, and finally endured the pain and walked down.

In the end, the wound burst open here, and I don't know where to go.

Then his goal should also be carrier-based aircraft!
Were we just scaring ourselves just now?
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Sha~la!"

The violent shaking accompanied by this continuous and regular loud noise came from not far above our heads.

The ceiling was also sprinkled with plaster from the violent explosion.

The carrier-based aircraft hanging on the launch track in the distance also showed a precarious situation.

It's too late!

They're starting to blow up the facility!

"Boom! Boom!"

"Pooh!"

"Moral, come! Come here!"

The danger of the situation makes me unable to care so much anymore!
The countdown to life has already begun, and now I can only escape with all my strength!

"Quick! Run forward!"

Once again, he had some hope, but this time he still kept silent, but he walked hard with tired steps.

This time, you really want to catch up with me who is running ahead, right?
