At the moment when darkness fell, Jiang Hui's heart was not disturbed at all. He was like a traveler who knew that he would have to return home sooner or later. A strange sense of calmness surged in his heart.
The sounds in my ears seemed to have disappeared, and the wind as strong as a knife also lost its presence and was getting closer and closer.
The strong pressure came towards them from behind with an irresistible force. The girl felt a chill down her spine, but she couldn't resist the fear of her physiological instinct and closed her eyes tightly.
What? Why did it suddenly... stop.
Jiang Hui, who was ready to say goodbye to this world, opened his eyes in confusion. The surroundings were still dark... but he seemed to feel nothing.
"Squeak—" coming
Jiang Hui shrank her neck, not because she was afraid, but because the sound was too harsh. It was like it was pressing on her eardrum and causing pain in her entire hearing system.
"Kakaka..." There was another loud rumbling sound, and along with the friction sound, the huge monster that seemed to have been pressing on her from behind moved a little away from her. A beam of light came in, bringing in fresh flowing air.
Jiang Hui froze, and turned over from Clarence's body as if in disbelief. Her right shoulder seemed to have brushed against something cold and hard for a moment, but it passed quickly in just a moment. She still closed her eyes, not daring to open them to see what was going on. She leaned against the ground with her back weakly, sweating profusely, and it took a while before she slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing that caught my eye was a large dark unknown barrier. In the dim environment, I could vaguely see the uneven lines on it, and I could smell the unique rust of metal. The light came in from the gaps around it, and Jiang Hui and Clarence were lying directly under an unknown metal disk.
The moment she opened her eyes, Jiang Hui realized that the strong sense of oppression she had felt before was not an illusion. Of course, the oppression was strong when such a large piece of metal plate fell down. Moreover, the distance between her and the plate of this thing was only the thickness of three people's waists.
That is to say, if there was no sudden blockage, this thing would have pressed down to the thickness of her waist and hit her back. If it had been lowered a little further, both she and Clarence would have been crushed into meat patties.
It's just that dangerous... No, how could she still have time to think about this? !
Although they didn't know what had saved them temporarily, who knew if it would only be temporary. While there was still a chance, they should quickly crawl out of this damn place.
After thinking about it, Jiang Hui didn't care whether Clarence was awake or unconscious, he grabbed the man's waist and tried to pull him out.
But soon someone came to her aid.
Now the disc-shaped unidentified object above them seemed to be suspended by something, and suddenly it was placed at a safe distance from them.
Without such a large object pressing against her eye to eye and nose to nose, Jiang Hui felt that her breathing was finally smoother, but she still did not let her guard down until she heard a chaotic sound in her ears.
"You guys are going over there? Quick, jump up and get ready, Lieutenant Colonel Zong is there to keep you there."
"No, the lieutenant colonel has already come down. He is on the other side. The one operating the mecha now should be Brigadier General Paisel."
"Never mind. Just go up first. There are too few people holding you back. If Angel uses some tricks again, I'm afraid there will be another chaotic fight."
"The mecha is broken into this state, and you're still..." Why are you making trouble
"Be careful, there are two children down there, I can hear their breathing."
"Which side? Wait, I need to see—"
"No, the lieutenant colonel said the children should stay closer to that side, so just carry them there."
…
Jiang Hui had already climbed a short distance with Clarence, and when he heard the commotion outside, he was a little afraid to move. However, after listening for a while, he finally understood that the group of people outside should be the official troops of the military, not the rebels, and he was relieved.
In fact, she thought it would be safer to escape from here as soon as possible, and it would be useless to wait for someone to rescue her. But from what they said... the people outside were preparing to open the things on top and let them out. So she naturally couldn't move any more, otherwise it would only cause more trouble.
Jiang Hui could only remain frozen there, silently praying for everyone to move faster. Because Clarence, who was in her arms, seemed to have fallen into a deep coma, and even the danger of death and the noise did not arouse the slightest reaction from him. His hands were as cold as a dead person, which made Jiang Hui more and more anxious.
Fortunately, the soldiers were very efficient. As if in response to her prayers, several different rays of light shone through the arc near them where the light was coming in.
Then the thing on top seemed to be completely opened, and a large patch of sunlight slowly shone on her face. At this moment, the girl didn't know what a complicated expression was on her face - it was hope, a desire for life, but with a little melancholy that she herself might not even be aware of.
After the metal disk on the top was opened, if Jiang Hui checked it first, he would find that it was not a disc-shaped object, but a part of the back of the transformable mecha used to adjust balance and read information. It was disc-shaped as a whole, and the other side of it was connected to a larger fuselage.
Fortunately, the mecha landed in the perfect posture, with the slightly concave disc-shaped component facing downward, just right for Jiang Hui and the other person who were caught in the whirlpool.
If they were even less lucky and were hit by other parts of the mecha first... they would probably have died before the military could lift the mecha. So the two of them really had some luck.
Of course, Jiang Hui and Clarence didn't know at the moment. One of them had a confused mind and didn't know what had happened, while the other was dizzy from head to toe. They both had no idea what kind of fatal danger they had brushed shoulders with.
The few rays of light that had just come through the gaps were completely exposed under the large amount of light. They were the people who saved them.
Although Jiang Hui was still conscious, after having fled all over the place and going through a life-and-death race just now, she knew without even trying that the bones in her hands and legs were probably very soft at the moment and she definitely couldn't get up.
She didn't bother to do so. She just raised her head slightly and squinted her eyes, trying to see the person clearly.
However, she didn't know whether it was because the light and shadow were too strong or her brain was a little confused, but she could only roughly see the elongated outlines of the group of people coming.
Then a strong feeling of dizziness came over her, and Jiang Hui could no longer maintain her consciousness. In the end... She only vaguely remembered a figure with a pale and cold jaw.
"… Colonel Zong…"
