Collapse 3, the opening made the Yingjies regret for life

After a while, a group of people arrived at their destination. Looking at the camp that had already begun to take shape, which was built on the back of a huge cave, the Cuntou leader couldn't help but whistled frivolously, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Oh, I didn't expect to organize the camp. , isn’t it just a joint interaction, it doesn’t take such a big deal, does it?”

What responded to him was a cold, mechanical accusation: "Isn't it because you have done nothing and wasted precious time, and the superiors have no choice but to send us to 'assist' your work."

——Maybe because of the heavy resentment in his heart, this person even emphasized the word 'assistance'.

A man wearing a special combat uniform walked out of the camp. His figure was straight and his expression was stern. He looked at them with eyes as sharp as a falcon.

——The visitor is not good.

——Proceed with caution, pay attention to vigilance, prevent backstabs, and be ready to break out at any time.

Thinking of this, the Cunto leader was not annoyed, and calmly communicated with his teammates with his eyes, then spread his hands and complained: "Isn't that for sure, hasn't the Saotome Research Institute been ruined all these years? What else is there?" The missing information and value remnants, even if there are, it will definitely not be the turn of us latecomers, right?"

The person on the opposite side replied impatiently: "Sergeant Li, there is no need for us to play charades in circles anymore, you know the purpose of sending you and your team here - you don't think that the person who was in charge of security work in the Saotome Research Institute back then Can the experience be hidden from us? Be your dream!"

- Sure enough, it's not that simple

Hearing this, Sergeant Li, the leader of the Cuntou team, felt his heart sink. Since the other party has already torn his face, there is no need for him to continue to pretend to be stupid. He put away his playful smile and said in a cold voice with no expression on his face: "Oh? It's just not negotiable? What do you want?"

"The Big Hole."

The other party straight to the point uttered a taboo word that horrified Sergeant Li. The man stared at Sergeant Li with scorching eyes, and slowly uttered the frenzied words of the devil:

"We want you to investigate the large void beneath the Saotome Institute."

Chapter 76: People and ghosts are all on show, only Brother Jie is being beaten

"We want you to investigate the large void beneath the Saotome Institute."

—Would you like to hear what you're saying?

——Hey, if you want our lives, just say it straight, there is no need to beat around the bush like this.

Hearing this, Sergeant Li's forehead burst into blue veins, his left hand, which was not holding a gun, silently clenched his fist, his forearm muscles tensed and stiffened like steel bars, and his whole arm trembled slightly, just like his angry heart.

If he hadn't been uncertain about the opponent's details and the hidden strength of the camp, and he didn't want to lose the lives of his teammates in vain, Sergeant Li probably would have turned his back on the table, punched this person in the face with all his strength, and then made up for it. Take a few shots to relieve hatred... But no, as the team leader, he must be responsible and forbearable, and he can't disregard the wealth and lives of his brothers for his own pleasure.

Thinking of this, Sergeant Li took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the anger and shock in his heart, and asked with a dark face, "Do you really know what you are talking about? Are you awake?"

Only two or three positions away, the man could see Sergeant Li's expression change very clearly, but he didn't care what the chess piece would think. Hearing this, he just nodded calmly: "As you can see, I'm very clear-headed."

"Then why don't you repeat it again!? Now, immediately, immediately!!!"

Sergeant Li's tone was obviously angry, and the gun that was facing downwards in his hand showed signs of being lifted up, and the trembling fingers firmly pressed against the trigger showed that its owner was about to be unable to restrain the blazing anger.

The man in the special combat uniform has been monitoring Sergeant Li's every move since the moment he appeared. Looking directly into Sergeant Li's eyes, he repeated very forcefully: "I say, let you take your people to the big hole directly below the Saotome Research Institute, and investigate here."

As if he didn't expect the opponent to be so tough and direct, Sergeant Li was speechless. He was silent for a second, and then raised his gun violently in the next second, and instantly pressed the thick black barrel on the opponent's head. He roared ferociously: "Do you believe it or not, I will shoot your head off right now!?"

Brush brush!

The tacit understanding cultivated by fighting together for many years and going through life and death was instantly reflected. The moment Sergeant Li raised his gun, the team behind him was ready to go to war. Shields and weapons guarded the entire camp, and they were mentally prepared to deal with cold shots from any corner. By the way, they separated several barrels from different directions and aimed at the man who was confronting Lieutenant Sergeant Li.

People in the camp and the cave rushed out after hearing the sound of gunshots and quarrels, and then they saw the team members who were ready to fire at any time and Sergeant Li who put the barrel of the gun on his boss's head.

They also took out their weapons without hesitation, and at the same time summoned their friends, the entire camp was awakened in an instant. The combat personnel directly supported the scene with a group of light and heavy firepower, while the technicians mobilized action mechs to come To assist in the battle, but because their own words mattered to others, they didn't dare to push too hard, they just formed a semi-encirclement and confronted everyone in the team.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, like a powder keg that was about to explode. Facing the light and heavy firepower aimed at from all directions, Sergeant Li was not afraid at all, but looked around with interest. He recognized these equipment and weapons, knew Their models, power, uses, and origins, he even knows the weaknesses of these gadgets. Although his side is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, he has already conceived several feasible strategies to break through in his mind. The battle damage they may cause and the possibility of a successful breakout are also estimated.

——It’s not a big problem, we can break through.

——However, such a generous shot... It seems that they are really in a hurry.

Sergeant Li, who was not at all panicked in his heart, looked away contentedly, with a mad and mocking smile on his mouth: "Hey, the guy even has a lot of money--Clough, you are not very aware of the danger of the big hole. Sex? How about you?"

The man called Clough didn't change his face even though someone put the barrel of a gun on his head. He seemed to believe that Sergeant Li would not shoot, and he seemed to see the barrel on his forehead as nothing, completely ignorant of fear. He didn't say a word when he showed his superiority to persuade the other party to put down the gun. He looked at Sergeant Li, who had widened his eyes and turned against him when he disagreed with him. He roughly guessed what he was thinking... nothing more than feeling The little troops on the battlefield can't help him, so there's no need to compromise and bow down.

Clough couldn't help feeling a little emotional for a moment.

——Can’t all of this do anything to him?What a terrifying man, he is indeed the leader of the defense team who was in charge of the security work of the Saotome Research Institute in the past.

——Fortunately, we also have a backup.

Clough sighed: "Sergeant Li, you don't seem to have figured out the status quo—well, let you take a look."

As soon as the words fell, he turned around and shouted at his subordinates: "Hey, there's no need to hide it. Let our good friend open his eyes and boost his confidence by the way."

Sergeant Li said in astonishment, "What—"

Before he could finish his words, he felt the ground under his feet began to stir inexplicably. The terrifying momentum of an earth dragon turning over was wrapped in a strong shock and swept his body, bringing a creepy biting chill, a kind of "something indescribable and exaggerated" The wonderful feeling of "It's coming" instantly occupied my mind.

Then, the feeling came true.

A frightened bird flew up in the distance, the thick smoke spread out at some point, the dust was flying, the air flow was reversed, the engine roared, the core roared, the steel giant smashed the barriers of the jungle, stood on the bare earth, and cast a cloud of fire. The shadow that looks down on all living beings exudes an unparalleled sense of thickness and oppression, so silent, so heavy, so cold, and so sacred.

Sergeant Li and his teammates stared blankly at what happened in front of them. There was only a blank in their minds, and they lost the ability to think on the spot.

After a long time, Sergeant Li's eyes slowly regained focus. He swallowed, trembling his lips, and murmured dreamily:

"Titan..."

……

Lie suddenly turned his head as if he had a feeling in his heart, frowning and staring at a certain direction: "Huh?"

--What's this?Why do you suddenly feel uneasy and frightened?

Immediately, Qianjie's roar came from the side: "Don't get distracted in the battle, you idiot!"

Boom!

Because of the inexplicable throbbing in his heart, Lie Yi was a little restless for a while, and accidentally used the wrong strength, directly changing direction one after another, and finally punched Qian Jie, who was rushing from the side, into the sea.

Although he made a block in time, his fists shook and his violent force was still unstoppable. Qian Jie hadn't figured out what happened, his vision went dark, and his consciousness cut off the connection with his body in an instant.

Pfft!

A huge splash of water suddenly exploded on the calm sea, and the loud sound of falling water awakened Lie who was still in deep thought.

Looking at the place where the spray exploded, Lie first blinked inexplicably, and then said suddenly: "Ah, no! The punch just now has no strength! I'm sorry, Qianjie, I'm here to save you!"

After all, he didn't care about the weird feeling that haunted his heart anymore, he jumped into the sea and swam straight towards the direction of the dead body.

Chapter 77: Doomed Fate and the Gate Line itself

Sergeant Li looked at more than one steel giant with different colors, models, and armaments in front of him, and almost squeezed out these two bitter words from the bottom of his throat:

"Titan..."

Clough seemed very satisfied with Lieutenant Li's reaction, with a happy smile on his face: "That's right, as you said, this is a Titan, and we have more than one body - now, do you understand your situation? .”

——The situation has changed, brothers, you can't be tough, you have to compromise for a while, and then find a way to get out.

--receive.

--receive.

— Got it, boss.

After quickly communicating with his teammates with his eyes, Lieutenant Li immediately put down his gun pretending to be helpless, and at the same time raised his hands, pretending to be submissive and said: "Okay, okay, you have Titans in your hands, what else can I say— —You are a boss, you have the final say.”

"That's right..."

Before Clough finished speaking, Lieutenant Li interrupted with a wry smile: "However, can you give us a few more days to allow us to make some preparations? After all, it is that big hole..."

Clough waved his hand indifferently, and agreed to Lieutenant Li's request: "It's okay, anyway, we still have a few troops to arrive... Let's start in a few days, and I will notify you when the time comes, and you will be responsible for leading the way, and then Let's sneak into the big void together."

—Tsk, don't drag us if you want to die.

——We have no intention of being buried with you.

……

After spending a little effort to salvage Qian Jie from the sea, Lie took a look at the gradually dimming sky, roughly judged the current time, and felt that it was time to go back. After all, he promised Aponia before departure. Finished early and went back.

——It’s about the same time now.

After making up his mind, Lie tried to wake up Qian Jie, patted his shoulder lightly, and called his name: "Qian Jie? Qian Jie? Can you hear me? Can you still move?"

"..."

Qianjie lying flat on the ground is as unresponsive as a dead pig, still unconscious. Compared with his fragile body, the wooden mask on his head is very strong, neither falling off nor damaged, it is always firm Covering most of his face.

But after all, this is not a full-cover mask, so you can still see the situation on the lower half of his bare face - from Qianjie's white and slightly trembling and twitching lips, it can be seen that he seems to be very uncomfortable now look.

Lie hurriedly checked him again. Fortunately, there were no fractures on his body. They were all critical skin injuries. It seemed that he was simply stunned by the force of the punch just now. Looking at It's uncomfortable, but it's actually not a serious problem. With the physique of a thousand kalpas, it is estimated that this injury can be cured after a night of sleep.

After confirming that Qian Jie was safe, Lie breathed a sigh of relief, and then he slapped him harder on the shoulder, and shouted at him louder, but it was still useless, unable to wake up the unconscious Qian Jie.

If he had no other choice, Lie had no choice but to grab the tops of the two with one hand, carry Qianjie on his shoulder with the other, and then run towards the sanatorium.

On the way home, he couldn't help thinking of the reason why he just accidentally knocked Qian Jie unconscious.

It was a wonderful feeling.

It seems that something that he will definitely meet at a certain time in the future is about to arrive ahead of time. Although he doesn't know what it is, he can clearly feel it. It is very dangerous, but it is very familiar and nostalgic to him. 'something' that is closely tied to his roots.

Just thinking about it, a strange but reasonable sense of fate arises spontaneously, lingering in Lie's heart with a faint uneasiness, which cannot be dissipated for a long time, and cannot be let go for a long time.

Lie couldn't figure out the mystery at all, but he could tell the sense of familiarity—he had a similar feeling when Aponia mentioned the term 'Gate Line' last time.

An immature guess suddenly jumped out of my mind.

—Could it be... the Gate Line?

Lie thought in surprise, but deeper and more doubts followed.

——What could be the Gate Line?A terrifying high-energy ray?

——No, impossible, the Gate Line is definitely not such a simple thing, it is far deeper and more dangerous than I imagined...

While thinking, Lie's originally clear and clean eyes unknowingly appeared circle after circle of faintly visible spiral lines, and translucent emerald green arcs radiated from his body, but soon, these faint strange radiance disappeared. As if being pulled and restrained, they were all gathered back into the body, failing to attract Lie's attention at all.

——But even if he noticed, it probably wouldn't be of much use.

——Even if he guessed his connection with the Gate Line, it was useless.

——Because some things are destined to end from the beginning.

With incomprehensible doubts, Lie resisted Qian Jie and returned to the nursing home. After cleaning Qian Jie's body and changing his clothes, he went straight to Qian Jie's room, and put her on the bed with ease, and finally After covering the quilt, he left, and he did not forget to help Qian Jie close the door before leaving.

After dealing with Qianjie's affairs, he ran to Aponya again.

As always, he found traces of Alponia in the corridor of the courtyard.

The sharp-eyed Aponia immediately spotted Lie's figure, his eyes lit up, and then trotted all the way over, smiled and said to Lie: "Lie, welcome back."

Lie nodded slightly in response: "Yes."

In the past, even if the two had finished fighting at this point in time, they usually acted together, but Aponiya didn't see Qianjie's figure around at this time, so she couldn't help asking curiously: "By the way, where is Qianjie?"

Lie hesitated for a while, and finally answered truthfully: "There was an accident during the fight. I didn't notice it for a while, and I didn't hold back, so I punched him unconscious. He is resting on the bed now. I guess I won't be able to wake up until tomorrow, and I won't have to cook his meal later."

"I see."

Aponiya nodded suddenly, then a smirk flashed in his eyes, and he asked with great interest: "What did Qianjie say this time? It can actually make Lie Pogong."

Lie shook his head and said, "It's not because of Qianjie's provocation...it's more because of me."

Aponia couldn't help being taken aback: "The reason for the strong? What is that for?"

Lie let out a long sigh, and immediately told the ins and outs of the whole thing, including the strange feeling of being absent-minded due to the sudden suddenness before, and his related conjectures afterwards, which made Aponia stunned for a while.

It took a little time to digest the information, and Aponia's expression gradually changed from bewildered to serious, and she said in a deep voice, "Lie, do you really think this premonition is related to the Gate line?"

Lie nodded and said: "Yes, that's what I think, and my intuition also tells me that I can't be wrong in all likelihood, because I also had a similar sense of familiarity when I heard Aponia mention the Gate line before——but This time, in addition to the sense of familiarity, there are also many complicated feelings mixed in."

Hearing Lie's acknowledgment, Aponia's face became even uglier, and she couldn't help sighing with a headache: "If it's really related to the Gate line... then the problem will be serious."

Lie asked again: "Does Aponia really not know what the Gate Line is?"

Aponia said with a wry smile: "I don't know, I can only know that it is a very dangerous thing, but no one can tell how dangerous it is. There is really too little information, and I didn't find anything useful from them at the time. things come."

Lie continued to ask: "Then are they people who chase fire moths?"

Aponia still shook her head: "No...they don't even know the name of their organization, they only know what they are here for and why they are here, and they don't know anything else, it's weird—even, the feeling they gave me Not quite human, but a plausible monstrosity in human skin."

"But the commandments can take effect on them?"

"Well, this is also a place that I still don't understand."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Lie suddenly said softly, "Aponia."
