Cleaning up the battlefield

The battle lasted for 12 hours. Deep Sea lost its air supremacy but was still able to resist Chiyuan’s bombing with all its strength, relying on their quick resurrection ability.

After twelve hours of continuous bombingAfter that, the sea area was already full of engine oil.

The sea area became quiet, and the sea breeze mingled with the stench of blood, hovering over here.

The fire not far away was still burning, roaring over the sea like a flame that would never go out.

Chi Yuan silently stared at the burning water surface. She stared at the dancing flames, as if she was staring at all the happiness she had in the short first half of her life.

She knew what the fire represented, and she knew who the person in the fire was.

Upstream No. 1 quietly came to Chi Yuan’s side.

The members of the second unit made way for her and sent the child to Chiyuan.

Both of them remained silent. They tacitly said nothing, waiting for the flame to burn out.

The reefs affected by the flames also let out strange roars, and the entire sea area gradually filled with dull and tragic cries, as heavy as Chi Yuan’s heart.

“Escort Hokkaido back, No. 1.”

Chi Yuan lowered her head, and she stretched out her hand to touch the back of No. 1 Upstream’s head: “The task must have a beginning and an end.”

“… Chiyuan, can your eyes still shed tears?” asked No. 1 upstream.

Chi Yuan was taken aback for a moment. Her field of vision was filled with a sea of ​​blue electronics like a data map. She could only see the outline of a human figure, and could only enter the information of the people around her to determine who the figure was.

She no longer has the ability to cry, and she can no longer even witness the faces of her friends.

In her eyes, the raging fire on the sea was just a data cluster marked with high-temperature flames, and Chi Yuan was trapped in the sea of ​​electrons.

“I can’t do it.” She replied.

Upstream No. 1 lowered her head, stretched out her hand and tugged at the corner of Chi Yuan’s clothes, and took a deep breath: “Don’t forget us all.”

“How could it be?” Chi Yuan said as a matter of course, “Let Hokkaido take the cloak back, I’ll go back and get it later.”

She sent it back to Upstream No. 1, and after handing over to Amberis, the second unit stayed here and began to clean up the pollution on the sea surface.

The soldiers of the second unit spent a lot of effort to put out the fire, and Chiyuan landed on the small island they left in Hokkaido.

The things on the ground were marked as “snow” by the electronic eyes. Chi Yuan stepped on them with her feet and found that the snow was so hard that it was no different from ice.

She raised her head and walked towards the dilapidated house. The collapsed door revealed the terrifying scene inside.

All the soldiers felt sick and scared, only Chi Yuan, who couldn’t really see the scene clearly, strode in.

In her eyes, the frozen corpse on the ground is a lump, marked with the words “deep sea (dead)”.

“Is this the deep sea? On land?” Chi Yuan turned her head and asked.

“No, it’s human, but it looks similar to a zombie.” The teammate who followed her explained, “The skin is dark, the teeth are sharp, and there is a female body that is integrated with steel.”

The body and the steel are integrated…?

Chi Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly, and she lowered her head to look for things she could see in her field of vision, and found a woman leaning against the wall, with abnormal substances on her skeleton-shaped body.

The camera focused, and the electronic eyes read out what was on the outline of the female skeleton: the iron shell of the car.

“Is that thing integrated into her backbone?” Chi Yuan asked.

“Yes, just like we retracted the ship suit, she retracted half of it, and then died here.” The person next to her replied.

The electronic eyes showed the deep sea, but the steel items on her body that resembled ship equipment were not the wreckage of a battleship…

Chi Yuan felt that something was wrong. She squinted her eyes, bent down to get close to the frozen corpse, and turned on the camera of the electronic eye to check clearly.

However, a report came from outside the house: “Chiyuan, the fire is out!”

Upon hearing the news, Chi Yuan immediately put down what she was doing, turned around and stepped out the door.

Therefore, she didn’t notice that there was a notebook on the ground. This notebook was picked up by the team members following her, and then handed to another person: “My lord, you have to put this away too.”

“Of course I know.” Buhui took the notebook while talking. At this moment, an old plastic-covered photo fell out of the notebook, and Buhui bent down to pick it up.

The words “Q.PIA-Aix (Chihan)/Ziyuan-Q.Project-01” are written on the back of the photo.

What does it mean? Missouri?

Bugui turned over the photo in confusion, but saw two people in the photo.

In the photo, a man and a woman are wearing white coats. The red-haired man is looking down at the camera with his chin raised, while the black-haired woman is looking down at the camera with a slightly gloomy face.

The man’s hair color is exactly the same as Chi Yuan’s now, and this woman—her face is also ninety percent similar to Chi Yuan’s.

“Eh? Isn’t this the Dean Shenhai who fought with us?” The comrades at the side suddenly complained when they saw this photo, “Why are you here?”

Wait, that Dean——

Buhui suddenly realized that he had neglected one thing all along.

That’s the fact that the β-type Dean Deep Sea is very similar to Chi Yuan in appearance.

Could it be…

She didn’t dare to think about it, and before anyone else realized it, Buhui hurriedly stuffed the photo back into her notebook: “Since it’s such an important thing, I’m looking for it.”

——

As others have said, the flames on the sea have been extinguished.

Chiyuan came to the burning center step by step, she turned around in a daze, checking the surrounding situation.

She couldn’t see anything that appeared in herWhat is in the field of vision is the blue background and the lines that make up the objects, as well as the marks of some items.

What she sees now is that the sea is full of “burning wreckage”.

…

Where are the pioneers?

“Red kite.” Siberia’s voice rang in her ears, and when she turned around, she felt something stuffed into her hand.

She lowered her head, and the dark blue lines in her vision formed a pair of broken glasses, which lay quietly in her palm.

Chi Yuan’s eyes widened vigorously, and the electronic eyes showed that these were the glasses of the pioneers.

This is the last thing left of her.

She touched the lenses with her fingers, only to find that only the frame was left of the pair of glasses, and the frame had been deformed, and all the metal had been bent.

There was still quite a high temperature on the spectacle frame, but Chi Yuan didn’t think it warmed her hands, she only felt a chill in her heart.

“She is very brave, and she is the pride of country C.” Siberia said, “This is what Amberis said.”

“I know that all of them are the pride of country C.” Chi Yuan took a deep breath, then raised her head and looked at the empty sky that had turned into an ocean of electrons.

If you can arrive earlier, the pioneers will not die.

It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault.

…

It’s all your fault, β-type Shenkai Yamato…!

I’m going to kill you.
