"You must have immediately realized the meaning of my asking you this question." Vanessa said: "You just need to casually say the number of kilometers, and I will let you go."
"Then what?" the consultant said: "You will try to get there no matter what, right? If the Warlocks stop the capsule or control it to return, you will definitely use the emergency escape device to force out, and then you will still find a way to get close to the Ark. .So that will only increase the risk of you being killed halfway." He paused: "But now, I choose not to leave here, so there should be no changes, and we will reach the portal safely together. . And I can see what you want to do."
Vanessa sneered, "Huh... You are so thoughtful, I should really thank you."
"No, I have miscalculated. When you came to the bridge, I should have thought that you would kidnap me. Obviously, Tianyi had already thought in advance that you would escape, so he asked my sister to prevent this. This situation happened. It's a pity that he didn't consider that you would hijack me, and I didn't have time to reason to this point in the few seconds after seeing my sister." The consultant said: "When you successfully hijacked my At that time, I knew that the only way to keep you on the submarine was to die. Either you die or I die." He smiled: "In this case, I might as well follow your wishes and follow your wishes. Let’s take a walk.”
Vanessa heard this and thought for a while: "You ask me what I want to do. Isn't it obvious? I'm going to the portal to help my father."
"Can a man who has abandoned you since birth be called a father?" the consultant said.
"That's to protect me." Vanessa replied.
The consultant said: "More than ten years have passed. Is it for your safety that you are brought back to the resistance organization from ordinary life?"
"Do you want me to remind you that my adoptive parents are afraid of me? My childhood was basically..."
The consultant interrupted directly this time: "That was also caused by your biological father. Besides, will your life be happy after you arrive at the Iron Commandment?"
"Can you care?" Vanessa asked angrily.
"After you return to the organization, it will be difficult for you to see your father. We both know in our hearts that fostering you in an ordinary family is for your safety, and taking you back to the organization is to prevent your identity from being revealed by the empire. Found. He was just taken hostage." The consultant said some cold conclusions in a relaxed tone.
"Being able to be used as a hostage also shows that he cares about me as his daughter. If my life and death don't matter to him..." Vanessa added.
But the consultant interrupted her again: "Do you have to let me explain everything clearly? In fact, your life and death don't matter to him, but the people around him will discuss it. A man who doesn't even care about the life of his own daughter How can people, subordinates, entrust their lives to him? So he has to prevent you from becoming a hostage, lest anyone see through this.
His reaction after you were taken away by me illustrates my point very well. He did not go all out to find you like a normal father. And I am completely immersed in the study of the Sky Code. Don't think that I am just guessing. The Book of Yongxin can support my statement.
After that, several months had passed since the three-party transaction took place. He was putting on a show to show that he still cared about his daughter's life and death. He just agreed with me to send you back. In fact, what he wants more is to get rid of the white lightning. and an opportunity to advance into Double Eagle County. If it hadn't been for that transaction, he wouldn't have bothered to come to you.
Also, do you know why I proposed the plan for a three-party transaction? That was not my first plan. I was going to arrest your pastor, remember? After I brought you back, I realized that in the eyes of Cesare Bamonde, your daughter was far less valuable than his right-hand man, so I had to choose an agreement in which three parties exchanged interests instead of directly Use threats to gain understanding with your father. "
"Have you said enough?" Vanessa said coldly: "Now if your friends want to kill all the Silver Shadow people and also kill your sister, assuming that your sister and you have been strangers since childhood, Can you save me?"
"My sister is not an old lunatic who has gone crazy," the consultant said.
"Huh... your words are already the answer, thank you." Vanessa said.
While they were talking, a wave of sand suddenly rolled in, pushing the cabin and jolting violently.
"What's going on..." The consultant walked to the driver's seat, quickly pressed a few keys, and cut out the video signal.
Vanessa and he saw an astonishing sight at the same time. They saw a dense cloud of smoke rising in the desert in the distance. Something must have exploded on the ground there, and the shock wave of the explosion actually set off all the way. The waves of sand have reached here.
"Could it be..." Venessa's face was filled with worry. She realized that the main body of the explosion was probably the Ark.
"Now is not the time to worry about others." The consultant said, he simply sat upright and pulled out the keyboard next to his deputy: "We have entered the encirclement of the emperor."
On the radar of the separation module, countless luminous dots were displayed in the front area. The Imperial Army had been fully deployed. The troops from Eagle County and Zaoyang County had already met and surrounded the area where the Ark was located. The capsule where the consultant and Vanessa were located was rushing in from the outside of the encirclement.
The emperor's reaction was still very fast. When the unknown object rushed into the enemy's formation, the nearby mobile firepower and mechas that could attack it directly locked on the target and opened fire. There is also a small group of troops in the front who are gathering and turning around, intending to stop the capsule.
"The energy is still enough. I'm going to increase the output of the thrusters. Hurry up... um..." Before the consultant could finish speaking, Vanessa sat in the co-pilot's seat.
"Then please fasten your seat belt," the consultant said.
But the black separation capsule suddenly accelerated, raised a little height, broke through the sound barrier, turned into a black shadow, and opened a gap in the enemy's formation.
This move caught the Imperial troops by surprise. First of all, they were unable to use ground-to-air firepower because the target was flying at ultra-low altitude. Secondly, ground-to-air firepower was difficult to use randomly. It was too powerful and could not be used because it was too far away from its own troops. close. In the end, we could only use high-precision ground fire weapons to lock and fire, but I don’t know what the black cabin is made of. A small body of this size actually survived unscathed in the hail of bullets. It is rare for some small missiles and beam weapons to succeed. It hit, but it still had a scratchy effect.
The encirclement is very large, and there are some large mechas blocking the road. The consultant knows that it will be bad if it hits something and stops, causing it to be unable to speed up in a short period of time. He constantly compared the radar with the ever-changing video signals and data in front of him. He drove the cabin and flashed left and right. After ten minutes of high-intensity operation without any mistakes, he finally arrived near the portal.
Vanessa finally realized at this moment that if she had let the consultant go before and chose to act alone, she would probably not be able to get here successfully even if she had a separate cabin. Although the consultant did not say it clearly, in fact there was another reason for him to stay. , apparently to protect her safe arrival.
"The Ark is indeed destroyed." The consultant said, "We will drive this directly into the portal."
Vanessa came back to her senses at this time. She saw the wreckage of the Ark and the fire that had not been extinguished on the screen, and some soldiers from the Empire were surrounding the portal, trying to establish a blockade.
"Since the portal has been opened, it means that your father must have disembarked." The consultant said: "Looking at this situation, everyone who stayed here in Steel Commandment should have gone to see Marx. If your father hasn't entered the door yet, he is He wouldn't let this happen, so he was 100% in.
Even in his absence, the Ark would not be easily destroyed. The explosion just now was obviously not caused by a nuclear bomb... so it must have been done by Tianyi and the others or high-ranking ability users in the empire. Whoever did it had already entered, so the soldiers outside were now ordered to guard the portal. "
The consultant said this quickly to explain to Vanessa why she rushed directly into the portal. After all, the Ark had been destroyed and the person she was looking for was already in the portal. Staying here would be a big deal for them. It doesn't make any sense anymore.
The separation capsule rushed straight towards the circular portal. The soldiers at the door had just begun to deploy. They were unprepared and could not stop the separation capsule. In fact, even if they were prepared, they could only rely on manpower and a few temporary The forts set up could not stop the advisors.
The moment the scene in front of them changed, both the consultant and Vanessa felt a sense of detachment. After the capsule entered this dimension, they could see the outline of a city in the distance. Looking at the scene from behind, the scene in the desert can still be seen through the portal, but no pursuers have taken a step through the door. The door is getting farther and farther away from them.
"This is not right..." The consultant looked at the instrument in front of him: "I have reduced the power to the normal value, but the energy consumption is still very fast... This place..."
Before he finished speaking, a hard object hit him on the back of the head. The consultant hadn't fainted immediately. His eyes widened and he turned around. The last thing he saw was Vanessa's face. , and she was holding an intercom connected to the passenger seat.
"Wait..." After all, the consultant couldn't say a complete sentence and passed out.
Vanessa was afraid that she would not be able to knock him out if she hit him too lightly, but at this moment she was worried that she had hit him too hard. She looked at the bloody walkie-talkie on her hand, but she really didn't expect that this thing that had nothing to do with weapons could actually be used. It is also made of special metal and is easier to kill than an ashtray or something like that.
She quickly helped the consultant seal the wound and reached out to feel the pulse on the side of his neck. Fortunately, the boy was still alive and the bleeding stopped quickly, which showed that the beating was not too serious.
She immediately moved the consultant out of the pod and placed him in a place where he couldn't be seen from a distance.
When she was about to leave, she turned around and looked at him deeply. For some reason, she sighed with some loss in her eyes, and then turned around and left. To be continued. .
