Rushing out of the Kraken Hall, the smoke was already filled with gunpowder outside, and it was difficult to tell the direction. A few eagle-like fighter jets could be seen hovering silently through the heavy smoke and dust, dropping powerful bombs one after another. A mushroom cloud rose and bloomed one after another in the team's base territory. The team members were rambling around like headless flies because they couldn't get a unified command, and the two people who could give them command were now lying in the Kraken Hall. Some team members drove their fighter jets into the sky without any rules, but they were easily concentrated in places and exploded in mid-air as fireballs.
Luo Wei took Tang Yi Quicksilver and Zixi through the heavy gunpowder smoke. On the way, he was almost hit by a falling bomb once, and everyone slumped on the ground in embarrassment.
They fled all the way to the abandoned Kraken convalescence hall. There was a medium-sized mini-machine parked on the sea. Lin Maochen was looking at them anxiously at the hatchway. When he saw them approaching from a distance, he immediately started the engine. Tang Yi and Mercury rushed into the cabin one after another, but were surprised to find that Tsuruta Craftsman really had a peacock there. Tsuruta was obviously tortured and bloodied, and now seems to be unconscious, leaning against the bulkhead. If it weren't for the seat belt on the body, I might not be able to sit upright at all. Peacock was beside him attentively wrapping his hands with a terrifying blood hole, only quickly looked back at them and nodded. Tan Mingyuan was focusing on the torn wound on Hetian's chest, while Ashes sang a tune that healed the spirit in a low voice. He placed his palm lightly on top of Hetian's head, and the palm of his hand exuded a faint stream of light.
Tang Yi thought, after today, I am afraid that the name of the 15th Division of their Kraken team will spread throughout the base. There is really no precedent for the entire team to defect together.
As soon as Tan Mingyuan saw Mercury's condition, he sighed deeply, "Another sick number."
"Don't worry about me." Mercury said simply, then silently chose a seat to sit down and fasten his seat belt. Tang Yi also hurriedly sat next to him. Before his butt could sit firmly, he heard Luo Wei shouting, "Let's go!!"
The medium-sized mini machine shot into the sky like a bullet, and the acceleration process was extremely jumpy, apparently manually controlled by Luo Wei. Tang Yi almost rolled off his seat and was brought back by Quicksilver.
They dodged left and right in the aerial battlefield where different fighter jets passed through, almost like an air show. Tang Yi only felt that the world was spinning and the whole body was being thrown back and forth. He felt dizzy like a trapeze man in the air. When Tang Yi turned his head, he realized that this medium-sized mini-machine was equipped with a laser gun. Lin Maochen was sitting in the shooter's position, strafing the fighter jets that were following them, with excited cheers in his throat.
The unidentified bombers simply blew the base of the Kraken team into darkness, and there were not many chasing troops. They quickly left the clan's territory and rushed to the vast no-man's land that stretched between different settlements.
After a day and night of flying, they were running out of fuel. Luo Wei chose to land the mini machine in the ruins of a city.
During the flight, Lan Huang helped Tang Yi shatter the handcuffs with infrasound waves. Mercury kept her eyes closed, healing the wound on her body.
Tsuruta Takumi's wounds have been bandaged, but he is not yet awake.
Like a bunch of water dogs. Tang Yi thought in confusion.
He was in a heavy heart. If it weren't for him, Lin Maochen, Tan Mingyuan and Luo Wei would not have defected. They didn't need to do this at all... Their choice was tantamount to declaring that they were enemies of the entire base. If you want to survive in the future, you can only live a life without dignity in hiding.
This abandoned city doesn't look too old, it may be less than fifty years old, and you can even see the buildings of the settlements built later, but they were abandoned for some unknown reason, and now they can only be gradually replaced. The wind and sand eroded and buried, and countless broken and dilapidated black buildings stood like a jungle against the backdrop of the wind and sand, which was an excellent hiding place.
I just don't know if there will be any traces of the Leviathan virus.
Although the infected person should die seven days after the onset of the disease, the rumors about the evolution of the virus and the extension of the lifespan of the infected person have intensified in recent years, and I don't know if it is true. It is said that the infected roamed the abandoned cities in the no-man's land, searching for fresh flesh everywhere.
Luo Wei found an abandoned gas station. Although the fuel of the mini machine is a mixture of petroleum and other chemical fuels similar to combustible ice, it is theoretically feasible to use only petroleum, but the flight time will be greatly shortened. Everyone decided to rest in the ruins for a night and discuss the next plan.
Peacock carried Tsuruta Takumi on his back, Tang Yi and Mercury walked at the front with the laser guns they hurriedly brought by Lin Maochen, trudging through the middle of the road full of abandoned iron cars, looking for suitable shelter. They scavenged unopened cans in some grocery stores, found fuel in the underground food court of a department store, and built a fire for dinner.
Except for Tsuruta, everyone else sat around a fast food table and ate in silence, with a slightly solemn atmosphere.
Lin Maochen was the first to speak, "What shall we do next?"
Tang Yi raised his head and saw Zhang's resolute faces in the dim light. His heart was warm, but it was also sad. He pursed his lips and said, "After the meal, Mercury took Hetian and Peacock to find a way to leave the third base. Lin Maochen, Tan Mingyuan and Luo Wei, the three of you took me back to the Kraken team."
"Ah?!" Everyone was at a loss.
"Brother Tang, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"When we arrived at the Kraken team, you said that I took advantage of the chaos to rescue Mercury Hetian and Peacock, and you chased me out and took me back." Tang Yi said calmly, word by word, he felt Mercury's burning eyes He was fixedly staring at him.
Luo Wei said loudly, "No! Brother Tang, we have already decided! We all live and die together, the big deal is to leave the third base!"
"Are you crazy!" Tang Yi slammed the table, causing the beans in Lin Maochen's bowl to splash out, "Don't forget that your family is still in the hands of the base!"
After a moment of silence, Tan Mingyuan shrugged, "I don't care, my family has emigrated to the first base. Recently, the first base and the third base have been fighting fiercely, and they wanted me to go back."
Lin Maochen said vaguely while chewing the beans, "My mother died of the Leviathan virus when I was five years old, and my father was taken away by the robot police the year before, and I never saw him again. "
Tang Yi was stunned, he did know the news that Lin Maochen's mother passed away very early, but he never heard him talk about his father's experience. He had never had family himself, so he couldn't remember to ask about these things.
But Tang Yi remembered that Luo Wei had a younger brother in the Kraken training camp.
He looked at Luo Wei. Although the latter's face was pale, his expression was still firm.
"The day you were caught, I asked for leave from the training camp on behalf of my younger brother and asked him to wait for me at his hometown. I'll fill up the gas later, and I'll be able to pick him up and leave tomorrow."
"Hometown? Where is your hometown?"
"District 198, a very remote place close to the border. My home is in an abandoned urban area, there are many refugees there, hiding there will not be found by the base so quickly."
"What about the rest of your family?"
Luo Wei lowered his head, Junxiu's eyebrows were a little dejected, "There was an outbreak of Leviathan virus, and they all died."
Zixi seems to have known this for a long time, no surprise, just silently holding Luo Wei's hand.
Tang Yi knew that in today's human world, such a situation is normal. Back then, there were several children in their orphanage whose whole family was infected by the virus. Although the soldiers of the team face each other day and night and talk about everything with each other, they rarely mention their family members, just because under the harsh living environment and high-pressure rule, each family has its own taboos, so it is no longer necessary to talk about family background. It is the habit of soldiers. Now that everyone has been a friend of life and death, they all talked about it. Behind these seemingly cheerful and fearless faces, there are many unspeakable sufferings hidden.
Tang Yi felt sad for Luo Wei and Lin Maochen in his heart, as if he was stuck in his throat. After a while, he said, "Have you really made up your mind? Once you leave, you will never come back."
Luo Wei rushed to Tang Yi with a bright smile, "If you don't come back, don't come back. Brother Tang, you saved my life before, and I'm willing to follow you!"
Lin Maochen also said, "I can't just watch Boss Hetian be framed, even if he does nothing, he will be arrested and tortured, not to mention that many classic games produced by the first base have all been banned by them... This kind of place is long overdue. Enough is enough. Although you little Tang is a little worse than our original boss, well, I can barely accept it." After he finished speaking, he smiled at Tang Yi.
Tan Mingyuan stretched his back, "Ah, me, I'm the one who finds a way to leave the third base anyway. It doesn't matter to me whether it's defecting or emigration."
Tang Yi's heart was hot, and he couldn't be moved. But he still kept his face calm and looked at the five sea monsters present, "What about you?"
Probably didn't expect Tang Yi to ask their opinions, and Zixi Lanhuang and Ashes were stunned. As a subordinate of human team members, the Kraken is generally not qualified to express opinions.
Tang Yi looked at the three sea monsters seriously, "From now on, we are all brothers, just say anything you want to say."
Peacock held his cheeks and looked around at everyone with interest, "Is there any need to ask? Everyone is bound. Of course, they can only marry chickens, chickens, dogs, dogs."
The owners were very dissatisfied with being compared to chickens and dogs, and protested with eye knives.
The sirens looked at their masters, and then looked at Quicksilver in unison. No one objected.
"That being the case, let's take a four-hour break, then set off for Area 198 and leave the third base from there."
In the department store in the dark night, there are shadows and shadows, and the models that have not been destroyed stand behind the glassless windows with empty faces, posing strange gestures, and they seem to be active at any time.
Tang Yi couldn't sleep, so he sat up and saw Mercury watching in front of the window of a pet store not far away. He put on his clothes and walked slowly to Mercury's side.
"Can't sleep?" Tang Yi asked nervously. Since they were caught after the showdown that night, they haven't been able to say a word until they took it out.
Mercury's eyes focused on a fish tank with a hole behind the window. After a while, he suddenly said lightly, "I'm sorry."
Tang Yi was taken aback, "Huh?"
"I shouldn't take my anger on you about Tang Ya. You don't know anything." Mercury turned around, looking tired, "I hurt you and them."
Tang Yi thought about Mercury's various reactions, but didn't expect him to apologize. Mercury's disheartened expression made his heart ache again dully.
"Don't say that, it's my fault..." Tang Yi lowered his head, gritted his teeth and whispered, "I shouldn't have brought that CD back..."
Mercury suddenly stretched out her hand and gently lifted Tang Yi's cheek. The gentle and pitiful eyes, the cool temperature of the fingertips, and Tang Yi nostalgic and do not want to move.
"You are such a gentle person." Mercury sighed softly, and then took Tang Yi's body into his arms. Tang Yi didn't struggle, his body was a little stiff and he listened to Mercury's clear heartbeat. The tense nerves and anxiety about the unknown seemed to be gradually dissipating with the powerful rhythm.
"Give me a while, and I'll find a way," Mercury whispered.
"any solution?"
"...the way to unbind the sea-monster." Tang Yi felt a little sadness and heaviness in Mercury's voice, and his heart trembled.
Mercury, do you really want to release the bond with Tang Ya
Even after the day of anti-binding, Tang Yi always knew in his heart that Mercury was still unwilling to completely untie the bond with Tang Ya. Tang Ya is his shaper, the master he has relied on since his awakening, and the center of his entire first half of his life. Mercury cherished his relationship with Tang Ya. It would be a cruel thing for him to give up, it would be equivalent to destroying all his life and memories in front of him.
Is it because of that disc
Tang Yi broke free from Mercury's arms and put his hands on the Kraken's shoulders, "At that time, time was running out, and I only saw there. What the hell was said on the back of that CD? Why did you say my brother betrayed you?"
Mercury's lips pursed tightly into a line, his hands clenched into fists, and his body trembled slightly because of anger or sadness. He seemed to be trying to stabilize his emotions, and finally said in a slightly hoarse voice, "He has prepared another identity for you in the fifth base, and a large sum of money. He wants you to get rid of everything related to the Kraken team as soon as possible. , including... me."
Fifth base? heritage
Tang Yi was at a loss. What is Tang Ya doing
"And then? Shouldn't it be more than that? He didn't say why?"
"Others, when you have a chance, you can see for yourself." When he said this, Mercury's tone was a little stiff, and he turned his head to avoid Tang Yi's sight.
"But the disc has been destroyed?"
Mercury shook his head, "It wasn't destroyed. It was hidden."
"Hidden by whom?"
"Qu Lan." Mercury looked at the twilight that leaked from the top of the broken building, his eyes gradually solidified into a cold light, "His identity is the same as Tang Ya. After reading the CD, I realized that Jiang Yanfeng had been looking for it. Spy, it's actually him."
