A person's life cannot escape memories, and memories often begin with: It was a summer night
Yes, the passionate sunshine that seems to burn endlessly, the blood-red sunset, the hunting hot wind with the smell of the earth, and the bright starry sky in summer are always the most profound things in my memory.
Its nights seem to have a natural romantic color, and many stories happened like this.
This is also a summer night.
The purple moon has risen, but the sky has not dimmed yet. The setting sun is like a splashing freehand painting scattered in the deep blue sky.
The wind blew, bringing with it the unique bloody earthy smell of the Barrier of Hope, as well as the dull water vapor.
Wei An stood at the edge of the patrol area. The electromagnetic arm guard was already on her left arm. Under her feet was the thick steel cable. After passing this steel cable, she would officially enter the battlefield for the first time. .
In almost a month, the nervousness and discomfort of the first battlefield had been completely worn away, so Wei An felt very calm inside, especially when her eyes reflected Tang Ling's back.
The wind blew quietly.
Tang Ling's back was turned to Wei An. His black hair, which had not been cut for two months, had grown to the nape of his neck and was a little messy by the wind.
He was sorting out his equipment at this time, including electromagnetic arm guards, three grenades, a Desert Eagle with seven bullets, a C-grade alloy finger tiger, both hands, a wolf bite, and a C-grade alloy long knife. .
These were all Tang Ling's weapons, and everyone in the Raptors team was equipped with such weapons.
Just no wolf bites.
In addition, there are seven special fiberglass protective combat shirts and two tubes of the most important fungus inhibitors.
"Is it safe enough?" Tang Ling said to himself. He spent all his reserves to find Tony on the black market to exchange for these equipment.
But when the equipment was distributed to everyone, it was not in his name, but in Yu's name.
"Can I completely trust you? Yu."
"Don't you trust me completely yet?"
"I trust you. But everyone has secrets. Mine is a big and bitter secret. Are you interested in knowing it?"
"No interest. But tell me what you have to say."
"Follow me to the left wing forest. I want to get a batch of equipment back to prepare for our collective mission. However, I need you to come out and admit that you got this batch of equipment."
"why me?"
"You and Auston are actually both capable. Even if your family backgrounds bring in some better guys, no one will doubt it. But in comparison, Auston is too stupid and will leave many loopholes for people to find out that he did not do things. Yes. But you won’t. As long as you promise me, you won’t leave any flaws.”
"I will tell Auston exactly what you said."
"Yu, do you want to challenge me to a duel?"
“It’s always been an idea.”
This was the briefest conversation between Yu and Tang Ling before they set off to the North Wing Forest to trade with Tony for the second time.
In fact, after offending the Summit Team, several people related to Tang Ling have been staying in the cave for the past few days.
They were immediately suppressed and had no tasks to take on. Other seniors came to 'scoop' and cause trouble every day.
In the end, Shi Yu found a way to notify the family members who were at the top of the Barrier of Hope, which temporarily alleviated the embarrassment.
Regarding this matter, Yu acted very indifferent, and even joked that if he hadn't entered the First Reserve Battalion, he would not have known that his cousin was a senior member of the Hope Barrier.
But Tang Ling knew that Yu cared about him, and he never wanted to rely on his family's power.
Because of his own existence, it seems that he has dragged everyone into a quagmire, and everyone is sinking deeper and deeper.
It's a pity that Tang Ling had to continue dragging Yu to do things that were not so upright, so he had this conversation with Yu.
He could not take everyone to participate in the collective task without making any preparations.
The premonition of danger rose again, and it became more obvious the closer to the day of the mission, but this kind of thing was unspeakable, and he could only "go bankrupt" to do his best for everyone's safety.
Yu naturally followed Tang Ling. When they came back with this batch of things three times, Yu only said one word to Tang Ling.
"I have never felt that you are not as simple as you seem. So, I think your secret is really important! I am a little curious but still don't want to ask. But, can I trust you?"
"You can leave your back to me." Tang Ling replied.
Friendship is not about time, but about shared experiences.
The most unexpected things in life are the little things, such as catching a bug together, drinking a bottle of water together, and inexplicably falling in love with each other until we can risk life and death.
Tang Ling found all of this very baffling. When he realized that he cared a lot about everyone on the Raptors team, he could no longer stop or defend himself.
"Are you all ready? Let's set off." Tang Ling put the finger into his trouser pocket, turned to look at everyone, and said this.
Beneath the high barrier of hope, everyone preparing to participate in tonight's event is already gathering and lining up.
Facing Tang Ling who suddenly turned his head, Wei An quickly lowered her head, her face flushed. She didn't know if Tang Ling noticed that she was peeking at him
As for the others, they were laughing and joking, looking a little careless.
Yu's sudden generosity gave everyone a sense of security. For some reason, Tang Ling, who was usually the most annoying, became more cautious.
Could it be that the affairs of the Peak Team burdened him
"It's been prepared a long time ago. Let's go!" Auston was already a little excited.
"Remember what I said, even if it's the simplest scratch, don't skimp on fungal inhibitors. It's Yu Chu's credit anyway." Tang Ling joked, moved his left arm with the electromagnetic arm guard, and then opened it. Turning on the button, he jumped up high and grabbed the steel cable below.
'Zi', the electromagnetic arm guard produced a strong magnetic force, tightly adsorbing Tang Ling to the steel cable.
Then, a moderate thrust was generated between the steel cable and the arm guard, pushing Tang Ling under the barrier of hope.
"Despicable, you actually set off quietly first." Auston yelled and followed, but his figure was too strong and his leaping appearance was far less graceful than Tang Ling's.
Yu naturally jumped in front of Auston again. Amidst Auston's strange screams, everyone jumped down the high wall of the Hope Barrier in laughter.
Under the wall, Andrew carefully arranged Henk's dazzling, half-length golden hair with a hint of pity.
But his eyes fell on Tang Ling's figure sliding down from the steel rope.
