The virtual image constructed from electronic data has vanished, and the huge Alliance starship is quietly parked on the plain between the garbage mountains and the garbage mountains, covered with a dirty blue sky, and the extinct stars are half gray on the horizon. The arc of defeat is like a godless eye, looking down at the world.
At first, only sparse black dots appeared on the horizon.
Immediately afterwards, they began to gather more and more, and one after another merged into the crowd, just like a stream merged into a river, and a river merged into the ocean, turning into turbulent waves, overwhelmingly rushing towards the starship parked on the ground, accumulating a hundred years of anger. And hatred turned into substance, with the terrifying power of destroying the dead, it seems that it is about to turn all the obstacles in front of them into powder, just like a river breaking down a dam, and the waves smashing a ship.
Even from a distance, one can feel the trembling from the depths of the soul.
Ge Xiu stood at the top of the garbage mountain not far away, his eyes lowered, and he looked down at the scene in front of him condescendingly.
His expression was distant and unpredictable, and there was a faint smile on his lips, as if he was very satisfied with the chaos he had created, and at the same time, he seemed to be showing contempt and sarcasm at something far away and nothing.
Ge Xiu retracted his gaze, took off the No. 0 machine placed on the strange machine, and stuffed it back into his backpack.
Immediately afterwards, he put his thin, knuckled fingers on the control buttons, and slowly turned the power to maximum.
The machine hummed overwhelmedly, sparks burst through the murky atmosphere, and the screeching noise almost made it suspicious that it would be scrapped in the next second.
Xiaoyi watched his movements nervously, barely daring to breathe loudly.
When he was on the main ship, he had been exposed to the relevant information of the electromagnetic pulse. Ge Xiu once said that because it has other uses, it could not maximize its effect. According to Ge Xiu's subsequent behavior, its "Other uses" should be to provide energy for the start of No. 0 machine, but the destructive energy it creates is forcibly converted into a relatively peaceful power source, which naturally leads to extremely high instability.
And cranking up the power... is like lighting a match in an enclosed space with high-purity, dry oxygen.
The machine made a sour vibration and friction, like an active volcano brewing and erupting, and the hot smoke and air were agitated and rose, making onlookers tremble.
Ge Xiu lowered his head and looked at the iron lump in front of him, as if he was evaluating something.
He glanced at the time displayed by the brain on his wrist, and muttered in a low voice, "Well... it should be almost there."
Immediately afterwards, he took a step back, then raised his foot and kicked it hard!
The round machine rolled down the slope of the garbage mountain. Almost before everyone could react, they only heard a violent explosion from below. It seemed that they were all shaken a few times.
Ge Xiu cautiously took two steps forward, looked down the mountain, and said regretfully:
"A little crooked."
Xiao Yi stared blankly in the direction of his line of sight, and saw a burning charcoal black trace extending straight down the mountain, as if it had been carefully calculated, and the end of the path happened to be the Alliance starship parked at the foot of the mountain. , the extremely destructive explosion tore a gap in the protective layer outside the starship, and its tail was affected and burned with the help of the surrounding dry garbage layer.
Ge Xiu sighed and muttered in disappointment, "Actually, I was aiming for the engine."
However, this is enough.
The electromagnetic pulse destroys the starship's take-off system and weapon system, but the protective cover as a protective system cannot be easily broken through, and when its protective cover is torn, the final advantage of the alliance starship will be lost along with it. .
The silhouettes in the distance are still gathering, and the black pressure is like a heavy cloud, rushing in this direction with an unstoppable momentum, and it is almost in the blink of an eye.
The ships were unable to take off, and the Allied forces, which had lost their protective shields, were forced to face the enemy.
Ge Xiu lowered his eyes, his dark eyes were calm, and with a harmless smile on his lips, he said softly:
"That's what's fair."
Everyone stared in shock at the almost terrifying scene in front of them, as if the ant colony engulfed the elephant, ripped off the muscles, skin and blood on the huge body, chewed, swallowed, and digested, leaving only the thick and white bones and residues penetrated into it. The muddy blood of the earth.
Despair, anger, hatred, and dark emotions are vented in the most extreme way, and even blood sacrifices cannot quell them. The steel-shaped protective shell was torn from the gap and washed away. Positional standing quickly became hand-to-hand combat. There are no firearms, only the most primitive and violent conflict between limbs.
The fervent desire for vengeance manifests itself into a terrifying force that destroys, shatters, and reshapes everything around it.
This scene is so terrifying and so spectacular.
It grabbed everyone's attention with an almost sinister charm that shook them physically and mentally, almost unable to move their feet.
As the shaper of such a situation, Ge Xiu's expression was so calm, he withdrew his gaze lightly, and turned on his light brain to operate.
After a while, the rusty freighter dressed in the Junk Star's soil and water attire flew from a distance. Its huge metal body almost blocked the light, and in the turbid air of the Junk Star, it was like an approaching monster. After recovering from the daze, they all looked up at the wobbly and landed cargo ship. Everyone knew that it was time to leave.
Ge Xiu took out a candy from his pocket, glanced at it reluctantly, sighed, and then threw it to a crew member behind him:
"Well, the reward for guessing right."
Suddenly, at this moment, a desperate roar sounded behind everyone: "Go to hell!"
The ragged adjutant stumbled up from behind the mountain of garbage. The blood and mud made him look no longer as energetic as before. The wound on his face was still bleeding, and there was a startling look in his bloodshot eyeballs. Crazy means, his hand on the gun trembled nervously—not a light gun, but a much older, mechanically-powered primitive, long since obsolete, and now perhaps only collectors would be interested in carrying around.
Its use is not powered by energy, nor is it naturally affected by electromagnetic pulses.
Perhaps that is what allowed the adjutant to get away with the siege.
The adjutant's face had a happy smile of revenge, as if he had rehearsed the next scene a thousand times in his mind.
He pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Only to hear a deafening gunshot, echoing in the valleys of the garbage mountain, the passage of time seems to slow down, and the interval between heartbeats seems to be stretched into a century.
No one passed the bullet fast, no one had time to stop his movement.
The bullet made a sharp piercing sound, and charged straight at the boy's chest with ten thousand force—
But in the next second, it suddenly stopped.
The bullet seemed to be stuck in the air by some invisible magnetic field, and the wedge-shaped warhead stayed in mid-air for a few seconds, then finally exhausted all its kinetic energy, and landed lightly in the palm of Ge Xiu's protruding palm.
The warm metal bullet still smelled of gunpowder.
Ge Xiu squeezed the bullet with two fingers, squinted one eye, looked at it carefully under the light, and commented lightly, "It's not bad."
The adjutant's happy expression froze on his face, and an unspeakable look of horror spread in his eyes. He raised his trembling muzzle in a panic and shot at the unarmed crew in front of him. , is the sound of bullets clinking to the ground.
Xiao Yi lowered his head in shock, and dazedly touched his chest where he should have been hit. He suddenly remembered that before leaving the main ship, Ge Xiu had taken away all their brains, and he was famously called "" Hardware Upgrade".
Is it...
He looked up at Ge Xiu in a daze.
Ge Xiu passed him and walked lightly forward.
As the distance between the two shortened, the adjutant continued to pull the trigger desperately and frantically, but he could only make a faint hollow sound of running out of bullets.
There was a slight smile on Ge Xiu's lips. His thin and pale fingers pressed lightly on the warm barrel of the gun, pulling it out of the adjutant's trembling hands with such ease.
He weighed the heavy metal block in his hand and asked, "Do you know any flaws in the ancient firearms?"
The adjutant's pupils tightened, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. The courage just now seemed to have been lost from his body. He gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Ge Xiu didn't care about his silence, he just removed the magazine skillfully, stuffed the bullet in his palm into it, and aimed it at his temple.
Xiao Yi took a deep breath—
His eyes pulled the trigger without blinking.
After the gunshot, the compressed and deformed bullets landed, leaving only a faint burn mark on Ge Xiu's temple.
He raised the corners of his lips: "The power is too small."
The adjutant closest to Ge Xiu trembled slightly, almost stopped breathing, his tattered uniform was soaked with sweat, his teeth chattered and shuddered.
At such a close distance, he could clearly see the eyes of the young man in front of him.
There was a calm madness at the bottom of his eyes, and the dark pupils were like a bottomless abyss, and the demon imprisoned in it smiled maliciously at the other party.
Beautiful to terrifying, flirtatious to terrifying.
"As long as a magnetic field that is turned on by pressure is implanted in the portable optical brain, the damage caused by such a simple physical device can be completely offset."
Ge Xiu retracted his gaze, tugged his fingers to close the safety pin, and added lightly.
"Next time, use your brain." He threw the firearm back to the adjutant's arms with interest: "At least think more about why the opponent chooses electromagnetic pulse."
-Because they are sure they are capable of dealing with all non-light powered weapons.
The adjutant's lips trembled, and several broken syllables protruded from his throat, barely making a complete sentence.
At this moment, the sound of surging airflow came from overhead.
Everyone raised their heads and saw a pitch-black starship breaking through the turbid air of the junk star and slowly descending. Before it touched the ground, the long landing ladder was lowered, and Hall's young and calm face appeared. Inside the open doors, uniformed soldiers landed well-trained under his command.
Ge Xiu pursed his lips boringly and withdrew his gaze.
He beckoned to one of the crew members, and the crew member came back to his senses and hurried over: "Ship, captain?"
Ge Xiu pointed to the rescue starship parked on his head, and then spread his palm: "You guessed wrong, the reward is gone."
Crew: "… "
With a complicated expression, he took out the unheated candy from his pocket and put it in Gexiu's hand.
Hall, who arrived at the fastest speed after receiving Lu Lai's order, had a subtle expression: "..."
Why does he have the illusion that he seems to be despised
It's a shame he was so worried about this little bastard when he was on the road!
Hall's eyes swept across the dirty, but all-tailed crew, and finally stopped at the distraught adjutant not far away.
He recognized the uniform on him, which was marked as belonging to one of the Alliance's most powerful lineage armed fleets.
Hall raised his eyebrows, but he didn't look too surprised.
After all, very few people can play this little devil, he knew this a long time ago.
He gestured towards his subordinates, indicating that the troubles would be dealt with, then turned around and followed Ge Xiu's pace.
Other crew members also began to board the ship in an orderly manner.
Ge Xiu in front of him suddenly swayed, and his whole body fell down gently like a piece of paper blown away by the wind.
Hall was startled, and hurried forward to embrace Ge Xiu.
The slender shoulders of the young man were in the crook of his arms, as if they had no weight at all.
His fainting was so sudden that even Hall suspected that he had come up with a new trick to play tricks on himself, but under his shaking and shouting, Ge Xiu remained motionless. Although there were no wounds on his body, his eyelashes were tight. Shut up, an astonishing death gleamed across his pale face.
Hall's heart lifted, he picked up Ge Xiu, and shouted:
"—Medical staff!"
a few days later.
Lu Lai strode forward along the corridor of the ship, the long legs wrapped in the uniform pants brought a fierce wind, and the hem of the clothes squeaked behind his back.
His pace was never slow, but he was rarely so eager.
The blue light of the medical room was flashing not far away, and Ge Xiu, who had just been brought back to the main ship, was lying inside.
Lu Lai felt a strange emotion stirring under his chest, as if urging him, but what to do
He doesn't know either.
The medical room was very quiet, only the medical equipment monitored by the brain was beeping in the silence. Ge Xiu lay in the isolation cabin with his eyes closed and his expression serene.
The heart that he faintly raised when he lost the signal of the ship that Ge Xiu was on, finally put it firmly back into his chest at this moment.
Lu Lai subconsciously slowed down his steps, he carefully opened the door of the isolation cabin, and walked in.
He stopped by the bed and stared down at Ge Xiu who was sleeping.
He was really too thin, like a thin piece of paper, without weight or thickness, he was almost swallowed and crushed by the thin sheet, and he could only see the slight ups and downs of his chest.
The soft flesh on the cheeks that had been raised earlier had lost weight again, and only the jagged and protruding bones could be seen, stunned under the pale skin.
Lu Lai stared at him and was suddenly surprised by his immaturity.
Stripped of all deceit, wickedness, and madness, he was just a teenager. Thin and weak, he has been struggling to survive at the end of the world for more than ten years. Since he was conscious, he has begun to arm himself with everything he can use, and strive to survive on that hellish cruel and barren planet.
These encounters are enough to crush and crush a strong adult, twisting a healthy body and mind into a wretched and miserable monster.
Lu Lai did not feel sorry for Ge Xiu.
-Pity is an insult to the strong.
What, then, were the strange emotions surging in his heart now
Lu Lai lowered his eyes, under the light gold eyelashes, the silver-blue eyeballs settled into an extremely deep ink color, like a deep sea tumbling under a storm.
He raised his finger and gently touched Gexiu's cold cheek, as if he was touching some fragile and cherished precious china.
Under the shell made of steel, it seems that some new emotions and emotions are fermenting and brewing. It is extremely unfamiliar, but it is dangerous and addictive.
It was like the attraction he felt standing in front of the abyss, pulling him down.
Lu Lai was reluctant to investigate.
But strangely... he didn't really want to contain it either.
Suddenly, the sound of the opening of the cabin door of the medical room came from outside the isolation door. Lu Lai suddenly retracted his hand and looked at the door disguisedly.
I saw Hall standing outside the door, the light screen in his hand flashing a faint blue light in the dim room.
Lu Lai carefully closed the door of the isolation cabin, then strode towards him and asked:
"Have you found out the reason?"
Hall's face was even worse, and he slowly shook his head: "...No."
He handed over the light screen in his hand, and Lu Lai glanced at the text on it, his face gradually becoming solemn.
Hall's voice suppressed:
"The rapid and unexplained failure of organs in his body, with current medical methods... cannot be ascertained."
