ultimate cannon fodder

Chapter 42 tragic

In the innermost part of the corridor on the third floor, in a study room with a dome painted with murals of the old Dunhuang Flying Apsaras, and four walls inlaid with crystal wall lamps made of bronze, Hu Weidong is sitting on a large and stiff mahogany chair. Wearing a pair of old gold wire-rimmed glasses, he is concentrating on reading a paper book that looks as heavy as the layout here.

Today, with the development of technology and information, ink-scented paper books have become a kind of history. Except for some museums and libraries in various states, the rest are almost all owned by major families and wealthy businessmen around the world. It is very difficult to find them in the market because of the high price acquisition. Each copy represents a thick history, and the value of each copy can make ordinary people flinch.Even in the prestigious Hu family, there are only a few people who can read these original paper books with their own hands.

Of course, because these paper books are extremely precious, there are many imitations on the market, the degree of imitation is enough to make it difficult for many experts to distinguish with the naked eye, but no matter how delicate the imitation is, it cannot pass the test of advanced equipment. The age of the paper can be discerned very quickly once it is radiated.However, there are still many nouveau riche who use this method to support the scene. Looking around the house, there are all kinds of fake cultural relics, antiques and books, which immediately add a lot of cultural atmosphere and historical heritage, and can also deceive many people. layman.

Next to the Taishi chair is an antique small tea table also made of precious mahogany, on which is placed a set of exquisite fine porcelain tea sets.The tea set is fired by the official kiln in the old era. It is said that it has a history of nearly a thousand years, but the appearance is extremely good. The glaze is crystal clear, the porcelain is excellent, and the color is elegant and beautiful. It can be called a rare boutique.The tea soup in the tea cup is pure and rich in aroma, and the brewing method is also an old-fashioned brewing method that is rarely seen today.Only people of his age would have such leisurely and nostalgic emotions to toss these old-fashioned things.

Of course, the vast majority of people do not have the financial ability to cultivate such preferences.No matter tea set or tea leaves, it is something that is elusive for most people.

When Hu Weidong is free, his favorite thing to do is to drink tea and read books leisurely.He doesn't just want to read books to be arty, but compared to those e-books with ten lines at a glance, he always feels that flipping through paper books can calm people's mind slowly, and only tranquility can go far.But people nowadays are too impetuous, and they rarely can calm down and think about things.

He reads the book very carefully, as if he has to ponder and savor every word in the book carefully, and he is very gentle when turning the pages of the book, as if he is afraid of damaging the paper with a long history.At this time, few people could associate him, who was full of elegance, with an all-powerful A-level dragon whisperer.

Hu Weidong picked up his teacup and was about to take a sip when he heard light footsteps outside.Although the voice was not loud, the state of mind that had finally calmed down was completely destroyed in an instant.He frowned, put the teacup back on the coffee table and asked displeasedly: "What's the matter?"

The door was gently pushed open, and the thin, pale man walked in as if he had never seen the sun before, stopped three meters away from Hu Weidong, bowed slightly and said respectfully: " I just received the news that Hu Weiguo once went to Jiewei Gate to meet Colonel Chen." There was no respect for Hu Weiguo in his words.

Hu Weidong frowned, put down the book in his hand and asked, "What does this explain?"

The man continued: "On the second day after arriving at the Light of Hope Boundary, Ma Jianyao was sent out to carry out a reconnaissance mission. It has been ten days and his whereabouts are still unknown. The one who lost contact with him on the mission is the daughter of Mr. Tang .”

"Member Tang? Tang Guozhong?" Hu Weidong glanced at the man, and said lightly, "You mean, Wei Guo instructed Chen Wenhua to deliberately send Ma Jianyao and the others to a dangerous place, causing them to encounter accidents?"

"I didn't say that." The man's voice was lower, but still very steady: "My duty is to report to you in detail what I have learned, not to draw conclusions."

Hu Weidong smiled meaningfully, and then his expression gradually became dignified, "Whether Wei Guo is behind this matter or not, you go there yourself, and you must find him back. I can't let people say that our Hu family is behind the scenes. Bad words, do you understand what I mean?"

"Don't worry, it's easy to do." The man nodded, paused, and then said cautiously: "I'm afraid that something bad happened to them. After all, it has been ten days. I heard that the boundary is very dangerous. Without backup and supplies, it is not easy to survive for ten days."

"I believe he is still alive." Hu Weidong glanced at him lightly and said, "Don't you think so too?"

With his faint glance, the man was shocked and his face turned pale.Hu Weidong's clear eyes suddenly looked a little blurry, as if there was a phantom covering them, and he felt that as long as he concentrated his eyes and looked carefully, the phantom could be eliminated, but when the man did this unconsciously, he was shocked to find that Hu Weidong's pupils It suddenly enlarged infinitely, pulling out a dark void space between illusion and reality, like a bottomless abyss, and bursts of powerful and mysterious attraction dragged his consciousness, trying to drag him into the endless abyss .In an instant, an extremely strong sense of danger covered his entire mind, and he couldn't look away. He didn't get rid of the attraction of the endless abyss until he forcibly turned his head to the side by relying on his survival instinct.

The sudden change was no less than walking once on the edge of the cycle of life and death. The man suddenly felt powerless, cold sweat poured out layer by layer, and his face became extremely ugly. Let's go."

"Go and make arrangements." Hu Weidong waved his hand and said, "Tell them not to disturb my reading when they have nothing to do."

The man bowed and saluted, then backed out, and he let out a sigh of relief when he was out the door.

And after he left, Hu Weidong wanted to continue reading, but his eyes fell on the book, but he couldn't read it anymore. Feeling upset, he got up and walked to the window, squinting his eyes to look at the east where the morning light was rising. Know what you're thinking about.

……

With a sound of "bang", a huge blood hole exploded on the head of a strange creature that swooped down from a high altitude, and then fell to the ground weakly and heavily.

Accelerating, stopping suddenly, jumping up, and falling down, Hao Wei continued to make all kinds of unimaginable dodge movements, walking back and forth among countless strange creatures, pouring the bullets in his gun chamber to those within his sight. On the alien creature.

What he is holding is a powerful thunder gun specially tailored for dragon whisperers of the firearms department. Its power and precision are unparalleled, and it can easily penetrate the shell of a heavy tank.The only shortcoming is the terrifying recoil. Besides, the self-weight of tens of kilograms is not something ordinary human soldiers can use.

The laser gun kept roaring, and almost every bullet could kill a strange creature. In the blink of an eye, dozens of strange creatures died in his hands.But as far as the eye can see, there are still all kinds of abnormal creatures everywhere, and they frantically attack any human beings that appear in their eyes, including the federal soldiers hiding in the bunker and shooting.The original battle formation of the Dragon Whisperers has also been dispersed, and now they are fighting on their own.Each of them is very heroic, but they seem to be submerged at any time in the vast sea of ​​strange creatures.

The dragon whisperers and federal soldiers living on the wall have all been withdrawn.After the alien creatures outside the base can step on the corpses of their companions and jump up the fence, there is no point in holding on to the fence. If they don't withdraw, they will probably fall into the predicament of being attacked from both sides.And when the barrier function of the wall disappeared, the entire base became a bloody battlefield.

On one side of his body, he avoided the pounce of a strange creature, swung his backhand, and the sharp short knife in his left hand cut the throat of another strange creature.During this process, the gun in Hao Wei's hand never stopped, and the thunderous gunshots were like deafening drums in the battlefield where fighting was everywhere, which made all the Dragon Whisperers and Federation soldiers who were still fighting in blood feel confident. Big increase, because they knew that Hao Wei was fighting with them.For many people, as long as this flag does not fall, the battle is not lost, and the bugs will be killed sooner or later.

Wiping the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, Hao Wei shouted while shooting: "Wang Qiang, take a few people to reinforce the No. Hold it." After a fierce battle, almost all of his upper body armor and inner battle suit, who had been fighting on the front line, were almost completely damaged, but only large areas of burn marks could be seen on his fit and powerful body, as well as a few places. The incisions were criss-cross, but not too deep, showing the strong defense of the body.

The huge alien creature in the sky was quickly shattered by the intensive artillery fire, and the communication was also restored, but just the high-frequency shock waves it emitted caused nearly a third of the automatic weapons and equipment in the base to be destroyed. The damage is difficult to use normally, which also brings great difficulties to the defense of the base.

Soon Wang Qiang's panting voice came from the headset: "I'll kill right away, but there are no other people around me. Both Feng Chunlin and Liao Guoqiang have already died in battle..."

Hao Wei's movements froze, and a sadness appeared on his expression.Although he has long been numb to death, Feng Chunlin and Liao Guoqiang are old dragon whisperers who have followed him to three realms. They are safe and sound in other realms, but now they died here. Some felt sad, and some even wondered if it was wrong for me to insist on not asking for help from the headquarters?
