After learning the bad news, Mary rushed to Viskaya, the most beautiful and rich city in the empire, overnight.
She was sitting in the dark cargo hold, and the only place for ventilation was blocked by haze...
…
"You know what? The Queen gave the order...she wants us dead...all of us."
"Why?"
"Ha... for the happiness of more people." He said it casually, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Meili couldn't accept all this. When she heard the truth, the first thing that came to her mind was not to accept death for honor, but how to live!
After all, she is a young girl in her prime! Why doesn’t she want to have her own life?
"Impossible! How could it be possible? His Majesty has obviously awarded us honors in front of all the princes and ministers. How could he ask us to die?"
He glanced at Meili, smiled, then held her hand and said: "This is all part of the plan, so we will not die in obscurity, we will be buried with glory, and even be recorded in the annals of history.
"
Splendid burial... recorded in the annals of history...
If this was a discussion about a stranger's future, Mary would even laugh.
But now her expression is nothing but horror...
"No! No! I don't want to die! I don't want a grand funeral! I won't accept this fact. I want to see the Queen! I want to ask her why!" Meili said and was about to get up.
But he held Mei Rui in his arms.
"Don't be afraid! Meili! This is good! At least our death is more valuable than other people who died inexplicably!"
"Value?! Are you crazy! They want us to die! How could you say such a thing! I won't accept it!" Meili struggled to push away the embrace that was once so reliable and warm, and then she saw that he actually
Still laughing.
Why does that sunny smile look so disturbing and disgusting right now?
At this moment, Mei Rui suddenly realized something.
She asked blankly: "By the way...where is Wu Huan? Will she be like us?"
He shook his head and whispered: "She is not on the list."
"Why?!" Meili already knew the answer, but she still asked it, or rather... vented it out!
"Someone has to remember us and send us flowers, right?" he said calmly.
Mei Rui was stunned. After a long time, she smiled, her smile was very forced and indifferent.
"How can a pariah like me be lucky enough to receive flowers from a noble..."
"Mei Rui..."
"That's enough!" Meili raised her hand, lowered her head, and said softly: "That's enough... I understand... Anyway, resistance won't change anything... right?"
His smile finally disappeared, and his eyes were filled with sadness, pain, and reluctance.
But he still said: "Yes, this is part of the plan. From the beginning, we were destined to be the cornerstone of the road to greatness. Our death is the best result."
…
"So you just lied to me...and then went to die alone...is that right..." Meili stared at the identity tag in her hand, which was the only souvenir left by him.
The title of the information that appeared in front of you was clearly written on it.
"The Queen's peace talks were attacked, and the former Shadow Guard captain died heroically."
sacrifice……
Meirui got up and put on a brand new mechanical exoskeleton. It was a set of black goods without coding, and it is currently the most advanced individual soldier exoskeleton in the world.
"Mr. Ronk, what is your opinion on the attack on the peace talks?" The program continued, and the politicians in the interview looked like clowns trying to please others by showing off their pretentious posture.
He frowned and replied: "This is the peace negotiation where the empire and the coalition are most likely to reach a comprehensive armistice agreement, but some militants have shattered the last hope for peace, so... I think next, the empire
There will inevitably be a fierce battle between the coalition government."
When Mei Rui heard this, she smiled coldly: 'Yes... a fierce battle.'
She thought, turned off the live broadcast, and then picked up the weapon.
While checking, the alarm suddenly sounded.
Mei Rui was startled and asked hurriedly: "What's going on? Coulson!?"
The pilot exclaimed: "No, we are locked by ground anti-aircraft weapons!"
Anti-aircraft weapons? Meili was stunned: "Aren't we taking a civilian waterway? How could we encounter anti-aircraft weapons?"
Coulson: "How did I know! Damn it, they opened fire!"
Fire?!
Meili was shocked when she heard this, and then she jumped into the air, like other items in the cargo hold, as if she had entered outer space...
But the next second, she fell heavily to the ground in the cargo hold, and the roar of an overloaded engine and a deafening explosion could be heard in her ears.
"Hurry up!" Coulson was trying to avoid ground anti-aircraft weapons.
However, this civilian-grade Pelican aircraft was too bulky, so before it could escape one round of attacks, the second round of firepower completely covered it.
…
When Merry woke up, she was already in the Wings of Liberty Guards camp.
She was not tied up, and the exoskeleton was fully assembled on her body. After checking her surroundings, Meili held her forehead and thought for a while before remembering what happened before.
At this time, a nurse came in. When she saw that Mei Rui was awake, she immediately notified others.
Mei Rui didn't have time to stop her.
But then I thought, if she escaped at this time, she might really be exposed.
So we can only take one step at a time.
Soon an officer led three soldiers to the temporary medical station.
Seeing Meili adjusting his equipment, the officer opened his mask, smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Sera, I'm the person in charge here."
Sierra?!
Mei Rui was shocked. She actually knew this woman. She was the eldest daughter of Steven Runker, and she was half of the Imperial blood.
"Hello." Meili responded calmly.
Selah was a little unhappy when she saw that Merry had not disarmed. She smiled and said, "I heard from the adjutant that when they found you, you were near the wreckage of a civilian-grade Pelican airship, so they brought you back.
, but seeing that the exoskeleton you are wearing is the most advanced Mark 5 model of our Wings of Freedom Guards, there is no force to disarm you. But now that you are awake, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you should explain your identity.
For good."
After hearing this, Mei Rui knew that it was broken, but looking at the equipment of the people around her, except for this Sera, everyone else was wearing the Type 1 exoskeleton of the previous generation. Weapon equipment of that level was not worth mentioning at all.
Therefore, in order to survive, Meili chose to take risks.
She opened the identification inlay on her heart, then raised her hand to take out the identification tag and handed it to Sera.
