Anger at this grim order inevitably spilled over to Craig.
In the eyes of the team members, no matter how Craig explained, he would undoubtedly use them as cannon fodder just like those above.
Su Shi sat against the corner for a while, and when his breathing and heartbeat gradually calmed down, he got up and planned to go to the door to check the situation, but was suddenly stopped by Paul behind him: "Wait a minute."
Quickly returning to his role, Su Shi shivered slightly, turned around and looked at Paul, with a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.
There is no extra tolerance for timid and introverted people in the army. As a commander, such a cowardly and indecisive character is undoubtedly more troublesome.
Paul frowned slightly and looked at him, the last bit of patience was gone, and he said in a low voice: "Second Lieutenant, please turn on your brain sharing, we must make sure that you will not tip off the military."
"I do not know-"
Craig's face turned red in an instant, and he opened his mouth anxiously to deny it, met his gaze, and finally fell silent, raising his hand to cover the brain on his wrist.
Paul didn't move an inch, still staring at him with his arms folded.
Unlike professional soldiers like them, Craig only came to serve in the military. Because his mental power was above A-level, he received direct training in mecha control and obtained the rank of second lieutenant.
Logically speaking, such people only come to the lower-level legion to exercise their combat awareness, and sooner or later they will enter the core legion, manipulating the high-level exclusive mecha to fight the real battle with the interstellar Zerg. Instead of being like them, they can only manipulate ordinary standard mechs, and even have to fight the Zerg on the ground with their bodies.
It's a pity that their second lieutenant didn't seem to be successful at all.
The young man lowered his head and removed the brain, opened the authority and handed it directly to him. His face turned pale again, but the corners of his eyes were already faintly red.
In all fairness, the young man in front of him was indeed refined and handsome, but it was a pity that such thinness was not admired in the army, and the Zerg would not stop eating him just because he was good-looking.
Paul sighed silently from the bottom of his heart, and his face remained calm. He connected and shared his brain with everyone before returning it to him: "We just don't want to be treated as cannon fodder—Second Lieutenant Craig, If you don't make trouble for us, we won't make it difficult for you. We live in peace and harmony, and we will just break up after this mission, understand?"
Craig didn't answer, took Zhinao without a word, turned and walked up the steps.
Although a timid commander is troublesome, it is also somewhat beneficial. At least when encountering this kind of situation, it is not too worried that he will have the guts to inform.
Paul didn't pay any more attention to him, returned to the table, motioned for everyone to gather, and opened the mental barrier of the brain.
Back in the room on the ground, Su Shi came to the window and checked the situation outside, his heart sank gradually.
The sky darkened, and the nocturnal Zerg began to appear. The city facilities that are not maintained by humans have long stopped power supply. In the dark night, mutated Zerg wander around outside their hiding houses, and they may find their existence at some point.
Danger looms.
The effect of interfering agents is limited after all, they cannot stay in one place for more than three days. It's already the second day here, and it's time to find a new hiding place until the dawn of tomorrow at the latest.
The brain on his wrist beeped a few times, indicating that his brain had been monitored by more than one party. Su Shi didn't pay attention, and turned off the volume prompt.
With the backup function of the system, he does not need to rely on the peripheral brain, and the opening of permissions will not affect him. What needs him to consider more carefully is how to bring everyone out alive.
In the basement, the team members are still discussing their own rescue plan.
The built-in shield of the intelligence brain can isolate all prying eyes below the A-level peak. The original Craig's mental power is only slightly higher than the A-level, and cannot penetrate the shield of the intelligence brain. The sound is so clear that it seems to be in the ear.
Su Shi listened distractedly for a while, sighed silently, and withdrew his mental strength.
It was the first time for them to carry out the mission of infiltrating the Zerg. They had no experience in breaking through the Zerg-occupied area, so the team members still thought the whole thing was too simple.
The Zerg's attack is destructive, unless the Zerg's idea can not be aroused, just like when they sneaked in, there may be a chance to get out alive.
But the core of the mission this time is "recapture". Although I don't know what is to be snatched back, it must be very important, and it will even cause the Zerg to counterattack frantically.
In the face of the outbreak of insect swarms, human beings simply cannot resist. As the lieutenant colonel said, asking some people to attract the Zerg's attention is the only way to keep more people alive.
Someone has to sacrifice.
While he was in a trance, the sound of footsteps suddenly came softly behind him.
Su Shi turned around, saw the person coming through the occasional Zerg taillights swaying outside the window, and said in a low voice, "Luke, what's the matter?"
In the basement, Luke was the only one who didn't confront him. In the original owner's memory, the other party's attitude towards him seems to be a little more relaxed than others, and Craig has always respected him as his elder brother.
"They asked me to watch you, lest you secretly connect with someone and tell the story."
Luke replied, went to close the curtains, sat down on the sofa in the corner, lit a miniature lamp bead and placed it on the table.
The dim light illuminated a small piece of darkness, and finally the room was no longer so dark.
Su Shi walked over and sat down. Luke put the coffee on the table and handed him the biscuits.
"thanks."
His eyes fell on the unchanging coffee, Su Shi's heart moved slightly, he thanked him warmly, took the biscuit and tore open the package.
Luke's eyes fell on his hands.
The fingers of those hands were thin and slender, and with a little effort on the fingertips, even the last bit of blood due to the low temperature could not be seen, flawless as a perfect work of art.
As if vaguely aware of his gaze, the hands retracted uncomfortably, the young man pursed his lips slightly and looked at him, his eyes showing the usual restlessness and bewilderment.
"I was thinking that your hands should be the hands that play the piano."
Meeting Craig's sight, Luke spoke slowly, and leaned back relaxedly, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "I studied art when I was in college, and I have seen students in the music department play the piano. Come, those hands are just like yours."
"I can play the piano."
Craig spoke suddenly, causing Luke to raise his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes fell on him.
There was a faint light in the young man's eyes, and he looked at him with bent eyebrows, a small dimple suddenly appeared on his face, and his body leaned forward slightly lively: "I play very well, I—"
"Well, I guess so."
Luke smiled, interrupted his words with a nod, turned his gaze out of the window again, and sighed softly: "It's a pity that in this era, art is really the most useless."
The light in his eyes flickered for a moment and then went out. Craig was stunned for a moment, and finally recovered his silence.
In the era of highly developed science and technology, people have mastered the method of directly connecting neurons for stimulation, and under the adjustment of the brain, they can relieve the mood and cheer up the spirit. The effect of art is infinitely compressed, and when human beings have to start struggling to survive under the threat of Zerg, it seems to become even more dispensable.
Luke looked at him, feeling a little unbearable in his heart, but he continued slowly: "Craig, you should apply for retirement after this mission is over. Go home and continue practicing the piano. Maybe one day the Zerg will be expelled from the planet. Those schools Will be reopening."
Craig suddenly raised his head, looked at him for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "Luke, you also think I will ask you to die, don't you?"
Feeling a little guilty from those eyes, Luke didn't answer immediately, and after a moment of silence, he spoke slowly: "Everyone wants to live, it's normal for you to choose this way, I won't blame you, but the army is indeed not suitable for you. "
He had tried his best to make his tone and words gentle enough, but the light in those eyes still went out little by little, leaving only soft blackness and tranquility.
Although he was mentally prepared when he came to the showdown, Luke couldn't bear it for no reason when he saw such a situation. He vaguely told him to remember to go down and rest, and then he got up and left quickly.
Seeing his back in a hurry to go out, Su Shi's eyes flickered slightly, he picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip, the bitterness soaked through the back of his tongue, forcing him to put it down again.
It really wasn't him.
Before he left the last world, he had a premonition that his lover's database might go wrong sooner or later, so he had to back it up to a USB flash drive.
But he still has this certainty, even if the data is confused to the point of confusing coffee and cocoa, the other party will never deviate from the essence of chasing him, let alone misunderstand him with everyone.
He had already searched around for the people around him, and they didn't look like anyone. Instead, Su Shi's heart settled down, and he broke the dry and hard biscuit into pieces, poured it into the coffee, and stirred it with a spoon twice.
In fact, it’s better not to come.
It's rare for someone to have a solid back. According to the main line of this mission, if the other party comes over, he will definitely lift his own pot until there is no cover left, and then he can't help but pick himself up and walk away from the broad road to death.
The completion time limit for this world can be long or short, if it is fast, maybe it can be successfully completed and returned to the main world in three to five days. It is very likely that when I go back, the other party's buffer program has not had time to load.
They are already old couples, and they occasionally put a distance away and ask their lover to organize the data before following them. I also took the time to take the time to blame, and it seems good to meet again in the next world.
Ignoring the heaviness in his heart, Su Shi casually ate some soft biscuits, got up and walked to the bed, opened the curtains a little, and his gaze fell on the Zerg that was still shuttling back and forth.
Like the first world he encountered, the ending of this mission is almost unsolvable,
Since there is no solution, there will always be sadness. Although he didn't know if it was really possible to avoid it, but even if there was only a slight possibility, he still didn't want his lover to come with him, just to bear an almost doomed parting.
While in a trance, there was a sudden explosion outside the window, and even the room shook violently.
With a thought in his heart, Su Shi opened the curtains and looked out. The dazzling fire had awakened the dormant Zerg, and dense black spots were rushing in that direction.
The lieutenant colonel once told him that after recapturing "that thing", if the plan to hide and escape fails, he will detonate and forcibly break through.
Now it seems that the progress there does not seem to be as smooth as imagined.
Completing the recapture this time is also his own mission requirement. Su Shi's heart trembled slightly, and he was about to turn around to go back, but a mecha suddenly hovered outside the window, and the lieutenant colonel's hoarse and anxious orders sounded in his brain at the same time : "Tell your people to get on the mech, it's not safe here, and move to the next safe point first!"
The swarm of insects caused by the explosion was overwhelming, and the small building was about to be completely destroyed. Once the basement was exposed, everyone would die.
His intellectual brain is shared, and the team members obviously heard this sentence. Su Shi hurried back to the basement. Everyone was ready for battle. Paul rushed out first, turned the programmed mecha to the door, and said anxiously, "Come up!"
In the wide open state, the disruptor can only persist for a maximum of three minutes. The team members immediately gathered all the equipment quickly, put on protective clothing, and boarded the mecha as quickly as possible.
The team members cooperated very tacitly, which is the most time-saving solution in this situation. Su Shi didn't want to disrupt the rhythm of everyone rashly, so he waited at the door for a moment, and was the last one to run over before boarding the mech, when the black swarm of insects had already swept over.
Su Shi knew it well, and was about to use his mental strength to temporarily guard his body and get on the armor as soon as possible, but the rope on the backpack was suddenly grabbed by force, and his body fell involuntarily, and fell heavily into the mecha.
The door of the mecha was closed in an instant, isolating the swarm of insects from the door. Everyone in the cabin was panting, and there were still lingering fears in their hearts.
The quality of this body is probably only at B level. Su Shi's eyes turned black from the fall, and he took a few deep breaths before recovering. He pressed the painful ribs, pursed his lips and said softly: "thanks."
Although the action was not very friendly, it was still to save himself after all. It seemed that these players were not as indifferent as they appeared.
"Next time, if you continue to dawdle like this, even if you are the captain, I will kick you down!"
Jack glared at him, his face was still serious, and he still had no good tone: "We are also professional soldiers after all, unlike some people who know how to use others as cannon fodder—"
"Okay, don't talk about it."
Luke interrupted him, grabbed a backpack and asked Su Shi to lean on him, trying to check for him if he was injured, but Su Shi politely declined.
Meeting those still shy and soft black eyes, Luke opened his mouth, but still didn't say much, just handed him a bottle of water, and sat back down.
Not every house in the occupied area can be temporarily lived in, and only a small number of safe spots are reliable. Paul set the route, controlled the mecha to avoid the swarm, and rushed to the next safe point as stealthily as possible.
"Let me say—"
Voices suddenly sounded in the quiet cabin, Su Shixun looked over, and it was the thin young Hank who had the ability to eavesdrop.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Hank scratched his head before hesitantly said: "If I say that since they gave us the mecha, it's just to save us? Could it be that they suddenly changed their minds— "
"They didn't change their minds. They were willing to give us mechs because it was a pity for us to die like this."
Paul's tone was slightly cold, his eyes fell on the young second lieutenant who was quietly curled up in the corner, and he said slowly: "They need us to attract the firepower of the Zerg, and then we will be in a situation like the explosion center now, besieged by the bug swarm, And devour it, and there's nothing left—then they can get away safely, right?"
The young man looked up at him, his eyes faintly showing silent struggle, his eyes flickered a few times, then he pursed his lips and lowered his head.
Paul didn't continue to press him, but just picked the corner of his mouth in a self-deprecating manner, and accelerated the mech to the predetermined safe point.
When we arrived at a safe point, someone was already there.
The lieutenant colonel was still covered in blood, and his face was faintly tired. Seeing that they had arrived safely, he just nodded and signaled them to find a place to recuperate, then stood up again, and nodded towards Su Shi.
If Su Shi noticed something, he used his mental power to block the sharing of the brain in advance, and then walked towards him.
The lieutenant colonel's gaze didn't fall on him, he got up and walked out, the two of them staggered, and something was stuffed in Su Shi's hand. It feels smooth and warm to the touch, like a pupa of something.
"Take it well, this thing must always be protected by human body temperature, otherwise it will die soon."
Without passing through the intellectual brain, the voice condensed by the subtle spiritual force was directly transmitted to his ears, suppressed extremely low. Before Su Shi could respond, the lieutenant colonel had already said in a low voice: "You guys rest here, I have to go out again. Don't run around, otherwise no one will be responsible if you lose your life."
Jack showed disdain, and before he opened his mouth in a hurry, Paul gave him a hard look, and fell silent unwillingly.
The lieutenant colonel didn't pay much attention, he quickly went out to board the mecha, and rushed back towards the explosion.
This safe point is much more comfortable than the previous one, and it is also equipped with a separate lounge. Everyone dispersed, and Su Shi also picked a door to enter, closed the door tightly, and then spread his palms.
The small light brown chrysalis dangled in his palm, and suddenly a small slit opened on its head, and a burst of rich cocoa fragrance came out from it.
