Chapter seven hundred and twenty first: meet again
When the landing craft docked, the cargo helicopter had already landed in the safe harbor to unload the cargo. A group of armed combatants quickly unloaded the heavy cargo. Due to the lack of forklifts, it could only be moved manually.
Zhou Zhen, Lin Nian and his party got off the boat and approached it. Along the way, Manstein introduced, "The storm torpedo has a total length of 5.84 meters, a total weight of 1565 kilograms, a maximum speed of 66 knots, and is loaded with an alchemy warhead. The main explosive component is made of St.
Composed of infant blood and high-purity mercury."
"How about the power of the test explosion?" Zhou Zhen asked, looking at the metal monster that required three or four people to carry away.
"If placed in the context of modern warfare, it only takes two rounds to paralyze a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier." Manstein had done enough homework on one of their trump cards this time, Aka.
Minister Doula even kissed the torpedo passionately when he sent it to the carrier plane, giving it a sense of ceremony as if he were marrying his daughter.
"The blood of the Holy Infant and mercury elements are toxic substances that exceed the standard of pollution. Orthodoxy has urgently cleaned up the stalls contaminated by the dragon blood left after you killed the dragon three months ago. They will not be able to do it again in the short term.
A large-scale river management." Zhou Zhen reminded.
"It may not necessarily be used. Storm torpedoes need to be launched by ships, and the guidance system is also a key point. In this case, we can only carry the same type of portable alchemical bombs and sneak into the Bronze City to detonate them. As long as we enter the Nibelungen, it will become a
Even if the plague dies, it will not affect the outside world," Manstein said.
"I also hope that the alchemy bomb can have an effect on the Dragon King. Even if it has a slight impact on the core of the matrix of Bronze City, it is acceptable. After all, attacking Bronze City is a bad idea." Zhou Zhen nodded and waved to signal more people who ran out of the haven.
Many people went to carry supplies from the helicopter.
"When can we set off?" Lin Nian asked, looking at the temporary camp set up in the shelter that relied on the protection of the mountain.
"Most of the ships and patrol boats were destroyed during the first wave of offensives. The damage to the orthodoxy is immeasurable, but new ships are being shipped from the outside and will be in place soon. But this will also be what we can
The last ship used was a warship temporarily transferred from the military through my connections." Zhou Zhen looked down at the rough river.
"Can't that landing ship be used as a means of transportation to send our people to the dive destination?" Caesar turned to point to the landing ship they came on.
"Its tonnage is far from enough. We can't get close to the dive site without a large-displacement warship. Transportation takes time. It is expected that you will board the ship directly to start the mission when you arrive, but it seems that your actions are faster than we imagined.
Arrived early.”
"Approximately how long will it take?" Su Qian asked. She was paying attention to the current water conditions all the time. Within half an hour, many areas in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River had been hit by surging water and continuous heavy rains. The Three Gorges Dam was also affected.
A danger warning was issued.
If the intensity of the rain does not decrease, the Three Gorges Dam will have to open its gates and release water within three hours at most, which will be a catastrophic blow to the downstream areas. It is unknown how many houses and counties will be directly submerged in the torrential floods.
"I can only say as soon as possible, they will notify us via short-range radio when they arrive," Zhou Zhen said.
"We are racing against time. It seems we can only wait now." Manstein sighed slightly.
"Before the warship arrives, there are still things that I may need your help to deal with." Zhou Zhen said. Although he said "you", his eyes fell on Lin Nian alone, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Trouble?" Lin Nian glanced at the temporary camp not far away in the rainy night.
"It depends on how to define it, follow me.
Zhou Zhen led everyone deep into the camp of the haven. As they passed by, the heavily armed soldiers saluted them, their eyes full of awe and expectation...the expectation that this group of reinforcements might create miracles.
"If there is no ship, my students can swim to the dive center with bare hands." Manstein patted Zhou Zhen on the shoulder, giving his ally some comfort at the right time.
"Then you may have underestimated the intensity of the current storm in the center of Kuimen. The huge waves caused by the hurricane can directly overturn a ship with a displacement of less than 1,000 tons!" Zhou Zhen shook his head.
"I have dived in waters with faster currents," Lin Nian said.
"How fast? Where?" Zhou Zhen shook his head. As a diving champion in his unit, he was daunted by the water conditions in Kuimen. He didn't think even Lin Nian could conquer this bad water condition that could be called a natural disaster.
"An artificial swimming pool with a speed of 30 kilometers per hour." Lin Nian answered.
"The one in the physical examination room of the equipment department?" Lu Mingfei, who had finally recovered from seasickness, suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Nian and asked.
"You know?" Lin Nian looked at Lu Mingfei with surprise.
Lu Mingfei said heartily that of course I knew. No wonder when I took the physical fitness test after entering the school, those people in white coats had been expecting me to jump into the deadly high-pressure pool. I almost thought that those planters wanted to murder me and covet me.
What about organs?
"Speed 30... 'S' class hybrids really can't be measured by common sense." Zhou Zhen pressed his forehead and felt a little ridiculous, but he seemed to be able to accept it, "The last one said that if there is no ship, just fly over with the sword, now you are more
It’s outrageous, I might as well just swim over.”
"Flying over with the sword?" Chu Zihang raised his head and looked at the man, "I thought the orthodox 'S' class couldn't continue to perform missions."
"There are always persistent and stubborn people. It's not surprising after seeing so many people... So I also need you to do a formal handover, otherwise she won't give up and climb out of bed." Zhou Zhen said.
"Aren't you willing to accept defeat?" said Caesar.
"Perhaps, everyone has their own reasons for perseverance. I don't know why she risked her life to gamble with the Dragon King, but if something happens to her again in the future, I will trouble you, too." Zhou Zhen
He led Lin Nian to the door of a tent and stopped, his meaning becoming obvious.
Lin Nian looked at the door of the tent and said, "Is she inside?"
Zhou Zhen nodded, took off the dark wood scabbard on his back and handed it to Lin Nian. He looked at the young boy and said, "You and she have met each other before, and we barely know each other. There are some things I think it's better for you to say
It will be better if young people communicate on their own.”
"What you said makes Lin Nian look like a scumbag who always gives up but always gives up..." Lu Mingfei complained softly.
Lin Nian turned his head and glanced at Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei immediately shut up and looked away because he noticed traces of thinking flashing in his partner's eyes.
His sixth sense told him that the other party was probably thinking about how he could unknowingly let him pass when he dived later. From now on, someone could only live in the "Dragon Slaying Classic Battle" textbook at Kassel College.
Lin Nian took the heavy scabbard, held it in his hand, glanced at Zhou Zhen and said, "She had a face-to-face meeting with Norton. If the King of Bronze and Fire was in his prime, then she should have paid a lot of effort after the failed assassination."
Big price."
"It is indeed a considerable price for her." Zhou Zhen whispered, "When we brought her back, we thought she was hopeless, but a certain phenomenon of dragon transformation occurred in her body that forced her to
She survived, but because Jiang Xinzhou was submerged, our medical level was limited and we could only briefly treat her injuries, but the effect was minimal."
Lin Nian said nothing more, opened the camp door and walked in. Lu Mingfei and others were waiting outside the camp. After an 'S' class hybrid failed to kill the dragon king, another 'S' class took over the whole situation.
, and there is no more suitable person to negotiate with than Lin Nian.
Li Hueyue?
Lin Nian remembered that it was called this name. The orthodox ace whom he met last time on the Yangtze River was inside. Although their first meeting was not pleasant, at least now he was meeting again as an ally. He could say whatever he wanted.
What.
After opening the door and entering, Lin Nian raised his eyes and looked inside. He was stunned for a moment, then put down the tent curtain and retreated.
Zhou Zhen and others standing outside were stunned when they saw him retreating. Zhou Zhen's face changed and he said, "She's not in there?" After saying that, he immediately turned to look at the soldiers standing guard not far away, "
Has anyone left the camp?"
"No, sir!" the other party immediately replied nervously.
"If the orthodox ace wants to slip away, there probably won't be many people who can stop her, right?" Caesar said, looking at the curtain door of the tent.
"No, she's inside." Lin Nian spoke at this time. After saying that, he silently looked at the curtain door of the tent and said nothing more.
Zhou Zhen and others continued to look at the motionless figure standing in front of the curtain door with puzzled eyes.
—
In the tent, the girl who had untied two-thirds of the bandages on her body was moving in the same way as the boy outside. She was holding a piece of bandage in her mouth and silently watching the curtain door of the tent being lowered, untying the bandage with one hand.
The movement stopped.
The layout in the camp is very simple, with only a table with a lamp and a bed. Sitting on the bed is a girl whose graceful figure is covered by bandages. Two-thirds of the bandages have been removed, revealing
There were extensive burn marks, and even if most of his body was exposed, it would only make him feel unbearable and sad.
These are shocking injuries, enough to leave any girl with permanent psychological trauma, but as a patient, she showed no signs of collapse. Even when Lin Nian broke into the camp and saw her naked body and the injuries all over her body at a glance
, she was just stunned for a few seconds.
After Lin Nian immediately withdrew, she did not scream or anything. She just thought silently for a while. After understanding the current situation, she quickly untied the bandages on her body and grabbed the clothes on the table with one hand.
Wear.
A few minutes later, the door of the camp was opened again, and Lin Nian walked in again. He saw Li Hueyue, who was neatly dressed by the bed but still had obvious burn marks on her neck and cheeks. She was now wearing a familiar white dress.
The T-shirt covers most of the skin, which is beautiful but cracked, like a beautiful wrinkled painting.
But compared to her appearance, Lin Nian's eyes fell on her left hand, which was supposed to be a slender and powerful beautiful arm that could wield a sword like a dance. Now this arm can only make people think of the word "crisp".
It's a bit of a metaphor for the cold, but it's extremely apt. The piece of wood that couldn't be retracted now looked like a burnt piece of wood, shriveled up like firewood that had shrunk a lot, as if it could make a crackling sound when pinched.
These blackened and ugly limbs should not appear on this beautiful girl's body, but sadly, the blackened firewood did indeed grow on her body, and the remaining beauty with it formed the cruelty of black and white.
Compared.
Slaying dragons has always had a price, but few people can truly see the heavy price hidden behind the glorious honor.
"'Jun Yan'?" Lin Nian asked calmly, looking at the charred, shrunken arm.
"Maybe." Li Huanyue paused for a few seconds and chose to answer the question calmly.
If Lin Nian remembers correctly, at the end of the orthodox video, Li Hueyue feigned an attack with a ceramic sword, hiding Han and Han people behind him. The swordsman who swung the most critical sword was also his left hand. Unfortunately, Norton still held it in the end.
He took away the Han Bafang, took away the chance of victory, also took away the ancient bronze sword, and now it seems that he even took away the sword wielder's arm in one fell swoop.
Lin Nian stared at the exposed burnt skin on Li Huoyue's neck. He could probably think of what happened after the video was interrupted. Li Huoyue, who could burst out with such power of speech and spirit, must have used a technique similar to "violent blood".
The insulating dragon scales serve as protection so that she can survive the situation where she is face to face with the Dragon King.
Judging from this injury, the left hand that was wielding the sword was naturally the most severely affected by the extreme high temperature. The scales, as the first protective layer, were instantly disintegrated. The skin did not last even 0.1 seconds before turning into fly ash, and the exposed muscle tissue underneath it
and blood were destroyed in an instant, and the dark surface of the withered arm should be the carbonized substance of muscle tissue.
Li Hueyue probably realized her failure when she suffered a devastating blow to her sword-wielding arm, so she chose to retreat. Although it is not known how she escaped from the Dragon King, the burn marks on her body showed that the escape process was not
It didn't go well.
Maybe these large-scale burns will accompany this girl who was beautiful enough to get Lin Nian for the rest of her life. This is a nightmare for many women, not to mention being completely naked by others after being injured.
This ugly scar is simply adding insult to injury.
But Lin Nian couldn't find any escape or collapse on Li Hueyue's face. The indifference made people feel a little scared, as if the appearance that could make people crazy and the stunning figure under the wide T-shirt were never her own.
Same.
Maybe it's because she hides her emotions too perfectly, or maybe she really never cares about her appearance. No one knows what she thinks.
After a simple question and answer, she continued to deal with the last part of her body that was dragging her down in front of Lin Nian.
Li Huoyue raised her right hand, and a palm-sized piece of iron on the table was slowly torn off from the table. The sharp piece of iron fell quickly into the fingertips of her right hand, aiming at her withered
The black left arm, under the dim light of the lamp, reflected a pair of beautiful eyes with extreme indifference.
"'Bloodshed' is indeed a good technique. Although I don't know how the orthodox name this technique, as long as it is about refining bloodline, it can never be abused. It can save you from the Dragon King once.
, but I can’t save you a second time.” Lin Nian looked at Li Hueyue and said.
Use the "Sword Control" to swing down the iron piece to cut off the charred left hand, and then quickly use the violent bleeding technique to stop the bleeding, and force the body of a dragon to withstand the symptoms of blood loss. The adaptive gene will temporarily close the cut wound. Lin Nian guessed
Li Hueyue's idea is not difficult.
"Yeah, but the Dragon King is still underwater." Li Hueyue said.
Then she flexed her fingers slightly, and the iron piece came out at an extremely fast speed and cut into the crisp black arm. With such force, even the arm, let alone steel, would be easily severed.
But the next moment, nothing happened. The light and shadow of the lamp on the table swayed, and the shadow on the ground still maintained its movement. There was never a missing part of the slender shadow.
Li Huanyue slowly raised her head, her blackened arm was still connected to her body, but the iron piece mobilized by "Sword Control" was nowhere to be seen. She looked at Lin Nian not far away, who was holding the piece between his fingers.
A sharp piece of iron.
Even though her "Sword Control" can erupt with tons of power, the piece of iron is still firmly clamped in the opponent's hand, and the two fingers are also struggling and resisting under the "Sword Control".
Tremors that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.
For the first time, Lin Nian saw other emotions besides formulaic emotions in this girl's eyes.
This emotion is called irritability and restlessness.
"Let's talk." Lin Nian walked to the table, firmly placed the iron piece on it, looked at the silent Li Huanyue and said calmly.
