Nan Yingjian, who had not slept for ten consecutive days, was still looking for Xue Ming's whereabouts in the ruins.
Although Yincheng has tried to force Nan Yingjian to take forced hibernation measures many times, she has always been rejected by Nan Yingjian... At this time, she only has one obsession in her heart, and that is to find those who disappeared in the space collapse.
!
Yincheng knows Nan Yingjian best. This carefree-looking woman is actually an extremely gentle person with low self-esteem. Such a person usually gives people the impression that although she is enthusiastic, she is extremely strong and difficult to approach. As long as someone gives her
If a little bit is good, she will return it several times.
Now that Xue Ming disappeared to save her, it is expected that Nan Yingjian has been so persistent in searching for the whereabouts of Xue Ming and others since she woke up.
But Percival is so big, and the space-collapse area radiates hundreds of thousands of square kilometers around it. In addition, the effectiveness of various cutting-edge search equipment is greatly reduced due to heavy snow. After several difficulties are added up... I want to
Finding someone here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Hey, want one?"
Looking at the cigar offered by his old subordinate, Yincheng, who seldom smoked, actually accepted it.
After putting it under his nose and smelling it, Yincheng smiled and said: "This thing is not bad. If Lao Xue were here, he would definitely snatch it from me."
Yincheng's confidant is called Zhu Yue. He was originally a corporal of the Wings of Freedom Guards of the United Government. After the Central Curtain incident, he joined the Border Guards. Later, he was discovered by Yincheng and has stayed with Yincheng. Although he
His current military rank is still not high, he is just a captain, but Yincheng thinks very highly of him, so many people with a much higher rank than him in the Border Guard Army will be polite to Zhu Yue when they see him.
Zhu Yue smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I don't know where Minister Xue is now..."
Yincheng held the cigar but didn't light it in the end. He put it away and looked at the snowfield in the distance.
The northern border under the aurora is like a girl under the dim light, as pure and flawless.
"Old Xue...where are you..."
…
Somewhere in the north.
The sky is full of ice and snow outside, and the north wind is howling.
But in this mysterious underground culvert, the air temperature is very high.
When Ye Xin, who had been unconscious for a long time, opened his eyes, a drop of water fell on his eyebrows from the top of the culvert.
When he wanted to raise his hands, Ye Xin was horrified to find that both of his hands had no feeling.
'what happened?!'
Feeling uneasy, he struggled to sit up, and then he was horrified to find that...his arms were missing, and even his left leg was missing.
The damaged body was like a broken doll. For a long time, Ye Xin could not get rid of this realistic nightmare.
After sitting there for a long time, he recalled the scenes before the disaster in his mind.
…
hiss……
…
“Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!!!”
…
That was Xue Yi's voice. I vaguely remembered that when the earth was shaking continuously and the red fissures appeared, Xue Yi, who was fighting with Meirui, urged Ye Xin to leave as soon as possible.
That woman...
horrible.
Even if Ye Xin and Xue Yi join forces, they are no match for her.
Faced with the suppression of absolute power, Xue Yi chose to stay by himself and cover Ye Xin's retreat.
Neither did Ye Xin
To live up to Xue Yi, he successfully passed through the door and returned to the underground warehouse. However, as soon as he came back, he saw a group of light that kept expanding and finally enveloped him.
In a hazy state, Ye Xin saw a familiar figure, so almost out of instinct, Ye Xin moved closer to her.
However, the process of getting closer is like moving forward in scalding boiling water, but this is only a mild description, the real searing heat is heartbreaking.
Ye Xin felt as if he was being set on fire. His skin was melting and his body was dissolving.
But he still grabbed the figure's arm and hugged her tightly.
He couldn't remember anything that happened after that...
How did I survive, and why did I appear in this culvert?
Who is that familiar figure? Is it Concubine Wan Xiao?
Ye Xin thought about it again and again but had no answer. He sat there, and the pain in his heart caused by the damage to his body was fading away, because he was a soldier, and as long as he was alive, his body could still be repaired.
But how can I leave the culvert and get rescued?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sound of water coming from deep in the culvert.
It was like the sound of someone coming out of the swimming pool, or... the sound of some kind of aquatic monster jumping out of the water...
Ye Xin was so frightened that he immediately moved his only intact right leg and leaned into the darkness.
This culvert is very large, warm and humid, and there is a kind of fluffy green grass growing on the ground like a carpet.
Although Ye Xin has difficulty moving now, he can still move a few times if he wants.
But when the footsteps sounded, Ye Xin knew that her hiding was in vain, so she should just stay there, because maybe this one was Concubine Wan Xiao.
And even if it wasn't Concubine Wan Xiao, since he was still alive and his wounds had been treated, it proved that they had no intention of harming him.
However……
When the man came closer, Ye Xin felt a chill in his heart.
How could it be her?!
Ouyang Lailai, who was slender and slightly enchanting, was holding a fish caught from nowhere in his hand. After looking around, he walked over with a smile and said, "Hey, the handsome guy finally woke up?"
Facing this top killer within Hong Yan, Ye Xin couldn't help but smile.
Ouyang Lailai didn't seem to have any ill intentions. She said: "Don't be afraid, I won't take advantage of others. What's more, you saved me. I still have this basic morality."
Ye Xin was stunned: "I saved you?"
Ouyang Lailai chuckled: "Yes, the explosion happened so suddenly. If you hadn't blocked most of the impact for me, I would have been wiped out."
Ye Xin had a dark look on his face. He clearly remembered that the figure he desperately tried to catch was his familiar figure. How could it be Ouyang Lailai?
Seeing that Ye Xin didn't speak, Ouyang Lailai asked curiously: "What's wrong? Do you think you shouldn't save me?"
Ye Xin laughed silently, shook his head and asked: "Where are we?"
Ouyang Lailai: "I don't know either, but it looks like an underground hot spring system."
Underground hot springs... Tsk... Ye Xin tried hard to recall the homework he had done before coming to Percival.
I vaguely remember that there is indeed an underground hot spring network in the introduction about Percival, but this underground hot spring network is extremely complex, and the source of geothermal heat is also very deep from the surface. Someone once tried to use the Silverbait 3 exploration robot to map the entire underground
The structural diagram of the hot spring network, but all failed, the specific reason seems to be related to here
It is related to the geothermal eddies that often occur.
Geothermal vortex is a very special geothermal phenomenon. To put it simply, a group of liquid with extremely high density and extremely high temperature will randomly appear in this hot spring network. Although this liquid looks very similar to water,
But it has ultra-high temperatures that far exceed the temperature limit of water bodies.
Underwater exploration robots like Silverbait 3 have a temperature tolerance limit of -120°C to 2200°C, which is basically equivalent to the endurance limit of current conventional combat exoskeletons, and even has a better load capacity.
Even Silver Fish 3 cannot successfully complete the entire network, so how can Ye Xin leave here with his current broken body?
Thinking of this, Ye Xin smiled sadly: "We are afraid that we will be trapped and die here..."
Ouyang Lailai had just lit a fire and was about to handle the fish in his hand. When he heard this, he was unhappy: "Hey, you are still a soldier of the Republic. Why don't you, a little thief like me, have the fighting spirit?"
Ye Xin didn't bother to explain, but when he saw the bonfire lit by Ouyang Lailai, he seemed to find a little bit of hope.
The underground culvert and the hot spring network system should not be matched, which means that this culvert just happens to appear near the hot spring network. Looking at Ouyang Lailai's skillful actions of lighting the fire and the nearby fish bones, Ye Xin estimated that he
During the period of time when he was unconscious, Ouyang Lailai had been lighting a fire to grill fish here, which means that this culvert has a ventilation system, otherwise they would have suffocated to death.
Where there is wind, there is life. This is an eternal truth.
Thinking of this, Ye Xin smiled again.
Ouyang Lailai happened to see it when he turned around, and couldn't help but said with a gloomy look on his face: "Can you stop smiling so weirdly?"
Ye Xin's smile faded when he heard this, and then said: "Although we are all trapped here now, in the end, we are still enemies. If you think that I can be at your mercy now that I have no ability to resist, then you should die as soon as possible.
This is my heart."
Ouyang Lailai was startled, then covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Giggle, giggle, you are so interesting! If you are not an enemy, each of you has his own master. If you want me to see that, you'd better be sweeter now, so I can
Maybe they will kindly take you out of here, otherwise, you will have to wait for death here!"
Ye Xin just stated his position, he is not stupid.
"Hey... you are right... everyone is his own master, but I just can't figure it out. What benefit does destroying this world bring to you, Hong Yan? Huh?"
Ouyang Lailai didn't smile either. She turned her head and grilled the fish slowly. After a long time, she said: "Whether the world will be destroyed or not is not something people like me can decide. That depends on my mother-in-law."
"Mother-in-law? Are you talking about the head of Hong Yan?"
Ouyang Lailai didn't answer. She looked at the flames, pondered for a while and then said: "Why do you care so much? We can't get out anyway, so we might as well soak in the hot springs and relax."
Taking a dip in the hot springs...
Is this what Hong Yan’s top killer said?
Anyway, Ye Xin doesn't see the slightest bit of killer look in Ouyang Lailai now, especially when she is staring at the bonfire in a daze, she is just a confused little girl.
However, this idea was quickly abandoned by Ye Xin.
A little girl who killed countless people...what on earth was I thinking...
Leaning against the rock wall of the culvert, Ye Xinbi started to try hard to recall what happened before the disaster. Unknowingly, perhaps due to the fatigue caused by his physical injury, he actually fell asleep.
