"Where is she?" Zero asked softly.
Haiwei pointed to one direction of the palace: "Chengtian Palace, I heard that there is a practice room. After we came back, Yeliu said that I want to train, and I want to go together. She refused..."
The girl raised her head and said, "She has never refused me to train together."
Pinching Haiwei's hair, Zero smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go see her. I think Yeliu just needs a process of familiarization and re-knowledge of herself. She will come over."
"Boss, how do you know?" Haiwei looked at Zero expectantly.
"Because, that's how I came here." Ling waved his hand and walked towards the direction Hai Wei pointed out.
However, the area of the Longhai Palace is not small. Although the architectural layout is based on the central stone path as the axis, the two sides are symmetrically expanded. But if you are not familiar with it, it is really not easy to reach the destination. During this period, Ling caught a Qin official to lead the way, and finally found Chengtian Temple.
The door of Chengtian Hall was closed tightly, the door was ajar, Ling pushed forward with both hands, and pushed the door a crack. He got in, and the hall was brightly lit. This is Longhai's martial arts training ground, and Mu Wu's generals often come to this hall to practice. The main hall was divided into several functional areas. In the fighting area, Ling saw Ye Liu. With her back facing the gate, the girl stood tall on a weapon rack. There was an antique Crescent Knife, and Ye Liu's toes were on the blade, but she stood as steady as a mountain.
Zero didn't deliberately restrain his breath, and even deliberately aggravated the sound of his footsteps. But Yeliu was full of thoughts, as if she didn't hear anything from Zero. When Zero walked to her side, a photo floated down. Zero stretched out his hand to catch it, and looked down. In the photo is an Asian man in his fifties, and beside him stands a girl, who is Yeliu.
"It's father." Ye Liu's slightly hoarse voice sounded: "It's in the office of that man named Qiu Ze, this is one of his collection of photos. When this photo was taken, it was me, Pioneer 1 When the number wakes up."
Zero sighed softly: "Do you have any memory at that time?"
"I don't remember at all." Ye Liu trembled slightly, and said: "My last memory is the scene of my father dying frequently. He wants me to leave, live bravely, work hard, and live like a person. I I didn’t understand why he said that before, but now I understand. Because I am not a human being, but a product of cells extracted from a certain specimen.”
"But to him, you are his daughter, so you call him father, don't you?" Ling said: "To this person, you are not Pioneer No. 1, but his daughter Yeliu! And now , you are not a pioneer, but our companion... Ye Liu!"
Ye Liu's body shook again, something dripped onto the blade, slightly wet the blade.
Zero walked to the other side and said, "Remember Dr. Curd?"
"Um."
"About two years ago, Beyoncé and I dropped into a base. That's where we met Dr. Curd."
"I know, you still brought back that vampire doctor."
"vampire?"
"Haiwei said it, because Ke De is always in the dark."
Zero smiled and shook his head, and said, "Well, that's not the point. In the base, do you know what else I found, Yeliu."
The girl standing on the knife peak finally turned her face away and looked at Zero.
"My identity." Ling Tanshou said: "So speaking, we are all the same. That's right, I am also a body of some kind of life specimen. Yeliu, it's hard for you to imagine that when you see thousands of yourself What kind of mood. Confused, hesitant, life has lost its focus, and life is completely meaningless. Because you are no longer the only one. If you die, there will be thousands of others you can replace. This is scary, isn’t it? ?”
"I was lucky. Beyoncé was by my side at the time. She helped me find the beacon to rebuild myself." Zero raised his head, looked directly at the girl and said, "Yes, there are many bodies. But only me , I am the only one who has experienced all of this. I have Beyoncé, and friends like you who have lived and died together, and all these experiences are unique. They are what I, and only Zero, have.”
"You should be like this too, Yeliu. Even though the other pioneer girls look exactly like you, Yeliu is the only one Haiwei regards as a life-and-death friend. And for us, Yeliu, you are not indispensable Replaced. No matter how many pioneer girls there are, we can recognize you from them at a glance. Because after going through all this, we already have a bond, an emotion that nothing can replace."
Yeliu's petite body trembled slightly, and her small face still didn't have much emotional ups and downs, but there were waves in her eyes. Zero handed the photo to her: "It's the same for your father. He regards you as a daughter, so he will take you away and let you take a completely different path from other pioneers. You have your own will, is the best proof. So, I think all of these are enough to distinguish you from other pioneers."
"Ye Liu, believe in us. Believe in yourself too, your existence is irreplaceable!"
When Ling walked out of Chengtian Hall with Ye Liu, there were several people standing in the square outside the hall. Not only Hai Wei was present, but Su, Feng and Brown were also there. Ling Chaofeng cast a consulting look, and the latter spread his hands and said, "Su and I were looking for you, but we met Haiwei. The kid said everything, so Yeliu..."
Feng stepped forward and said with a grin: "If that bastard called Qiu Ze just caught you on the laboratory bench, don't worry, I will tear him apart."
Before finishing speaking, Feng asked Su Yi to carry it back, and the short-haired girl shook her head and said, "Idiot, you don't understand the point."
She looked at Yeliu and said softly, "Yeliu, although you don't like to talk, but in my heart, I have long regarded you and Haiwei as my sisters. What I want you to know is that only you, I Only then will you risk your life to protect it. Although, you probably don’t need my protection.”
"Of course, Tianran is much better than you, a violent woman who can only wield an epee." Feng shouted from the side.
The plain short hair raised slightly, turned back and said with a sneer: "Isn't that right. For example, a monkey who plays with two swords will not be Ye Liu's opponent."
"Hey, who is the monkey!"
Even though she knew that the two of them did it on purpose, Yeliu still smiled unconsciously. Haiwei saw it, clapped her hands and said, "Ye Liu, you are smiling."
At this moment, Ling slightly pushed Yeliu from behind, letting her walk towards Haiwei. Yeliu turned her head and showed Linger a cheerful smile: "Thank you. Boss..."
Looking at the others again, he said, "Thank you too, I'm fine. You don't have to worry."
"Great." Haiwei jumped over and threw herself on Yeliu like a little lion, hanging on Yeliu's neck and saying, "Yeliu, you are finally normal."
Ye Liu lightly punched her on the head immediately: "Of course, I still have to take care of you, don't I?"
"What, I'm very strong, okay?"
"Really? Let's play a game then?"
"Hit it!"
Zero smiled and looked at the two young girls who had regained their vitality, as well as the other companions. He knew that the bond between his friends had deepened. Perhaps biological weapons without emotions are indeed much more efficient than humans in some respects. But it is because of these emotional ties between people that they can often create miracles out of the impossible!
The next day, a batch of supercoagulant shells had been processed. This was produced overnight by the arsenal of Buluocheng. There are a total of 500 rounds, which can be fired with the cannon of the artillery tank. With this batch of shells, it is hoped that Proseus' feeding will be interrupted, preventing it from absorbing the planet's energy.
After distributing the shells to all the tanks, the huge army assembled from three continents began to set off. In this coalition, the Hall of Valor and the Dark Parliament have the largest number of troops. They occupy the center position and become the front arrows of the entire army. Dawn City, Black Land and Holy Seal Knights were mixed together and located on the left flank of the army. As for the right wing, it will be supplemented by the army of the Eastern Continent.
Located in front of the army, Zero's biological army has already set off ahead of schedule, heading towards the Eternal Mountains.
As for the three leaders, Ling, Douglas, and Long Hai, they brought along a few strong men under their command, galloping on the Yinma Plain far ahead of the biological army. They need to arrive at the battlefield in advance to be able to deploy strategies according to the situation on the spot.
It takes two days to reach the Eternal Mountains from Never Falling City. Ling sits in the Fanjianglong off-road vehicle dedicated to Longhai, and has a panoramic view of the scenery along the way. Fanjianglong is a special vehicle for Longhai. After special modification, it has powerful horsepower and can reach a speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Of course, such extreme speed requires extraordinary awareness from the driver. Of course, ordinary people can't control this wild off-road vehicle, but in the hands of Long Hai, it is like an obedient horse, galloping with ease.
The off-road vehicle is much rougher than ordinary models, and the three rows of thick and short steel cones on the front fender are enough to bounce off any obstacles. The movable light machine gun shooting pods on the left and right sides can provide fire support for rapid strikes, while the anti-aircraft machine gun at the rear is absolutely heavy firepower. Heavy firepower.
Of course, in the eyes of Ling San, this car is just a bigger toy. Not to mention that both Ling and Douglas are powerhouses of the twelfth rank, even Su and Feng, who are tenth rank, cannot be threatened by Fan Jianglong's firepower. Unless they are willing to stand still and give up any defenses to let the anti-aircraft guns and missiles bombard them, it is questionable whether these firepower will hit the target.
The car isn't without its upside, though, and it's powerful enough to run fast. Driving on the plain road, the scenery on both sides retreated like a tide, and the car was left behind in an instant. With the speed of Fan Jianglong, Ling and the others will be able to reach the Eternal Mountains tomorrow morning, and at noon they will be able to see the former capital of the East Asian Union, the free city of Baiconi.
On the way, the car passed through two cities. The city has been reduced to ruins and bears witness to the ravages of the Black Legion.
At sunset, the off-road vehicle finally stopped. Long Hai drove off the highway and turned into a deserted town not far away. The remaining buildings in the town have the typical ancient style of the Qin Dynasty, especially the archway at the entrance of the town, which has oriental characteristics. It's just that most of the archway has fallen down, resting on half of the stone flat by the roadside, and the words "Wushui" can barely be seen.
Long Hai parked his car in the center of Wushui Town. There is a small square here, which is quite open and can be used to camp overnight. It took half an hour until several second-class Haijiaolong off-road vehicles arrived at the square, but it was the accompanying strong men under Lingsan's command who arrived.
The tents were set up, and Su, Feng, Shan, and Staley were in charge of guarding. The first two were in charge of the first half of the night, while Shem and Starley took care of the second half. Wushui Town is not big, and in a small town with a few hundred people, two tenth-rank powerhouses are even a bit overqualified as guards, but no one cares about these. After dinner, Su and Feng respectively occupied the east and west sides of the town, found a hidden place to hide, and monitored the movement in the wilderness outside the town.
There was a bonfire in the small square, and Long Hai and Douglas were discussing tomorrow's actions in the tent, while Ling sat alone by the fire, chatting with Shan about some cultural customs of the Eastern Continent. At this moment, Long Hai came and patted Shan Shan on the shoulder. The general of Qin knew how to leave, leaving room for Long Hai and Ling.
Long Hai turned over several piled branches in the campfire, so that the flames had a gap to get in, so the fire became brighter. The fire shone on Long Hai's resolute face, Qin's emperor looked at Ling and said, "Ling, are you also Asian?"
Zero smiled, noncommittal. His facial features and black hair do have the characteristics of Asians, but his genes are from Gaia, the super life form. So strictly speaking, his lineage does not belong to the current various races, but is older.
Of course, Zero will not discuss this issue with Long Hai in detail. As for his identity, it is enough to let the closest people around him know, but Zero has no intention of revealing all these things. So he changed the subject: "Just now I heard General Shan talk about Qin's past. It is not easy for His Highness Long Hai to re-establish this empire in this land."
"It's really not easy." Long Hai nodded, looking at the bonfire. The flames danced in his eyes, and his thoughts seemed to return to the era when it was in full swing.
Like the Central Continent, after the cataclysm, the order of the Eastern Continent disappeared. There are killings and chaos everywhere. In order to end the disputes and lay the first foundation stone for today's Qin empire, Long Hai has already forgotten how much sacrifice he has made. How many followers will always fall on the bloody road to the throne. It can be said that when the cornerstone of the empire is dug, every stone is covered with blood.
"Qin is not easy to come by today. Although we have constant disputes with the East Asian Alliance. But at least in the territory of Qin, the people have laws to follow and order to follow. I know that I am still not fair enough. But in this damn era , who can achieve absolute justice. But I can guarantee that my people will at least be able to live and live better and better. If... there is no Proseus." Long Hai smiled bitterly: "These damned Invaders, the losses they caused even exceeded the sum of the turbulent years before the establishment of the empire."
"Too many people died, and too many generals and soldiers gave their lives for this. So I, no matter what, have to kill that thing." Long Hai thumped the ground hard, and the green bricks of the square immediately fell apart.
"I feel the same way as you, Your Highness." Zero nodded.
"Okay, speaking of Proseus. What's your plan after interrupting those cloud pillars that draw energy from the planet?" Long Hai asked.
Now it is Ling's turn to smile wryly: "To be honest, most of the time I pretend to be confident. But in fact, just how to make Proseus roll down from the damn sky is a problem. But what can I do, if Even I myself seem confused, how can I give confidence to the people below.”
Long Hai laughed loudly, patted Zero vigorously and said, "This has reached my heart, and I often feel this way too. After all, the responsibilities on our shoulders are too heavy, so heavy that we don't even dare to take care of ourselves." The degree to which decisions are made lightly. However, I have a solution."
"any solution?"
"That's his mother's plan, let's talk about it first." Long Hai waved his hand vigorously, and said: "Anyway, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Oh, this is our oriental saying."
Long Hai clapped his hands and stood up: "It's getting late, you should go to bed earlier. As for tomorrow, let's talk tomorrow!"
Zero readily agreed to Long Hai's proposal.
In the middle of the night, Su and Feng came back and replaced Shan and Staley.
Shem was in charge of the west side of the town, near the town entrance, facing the road. The remaining high-rise buildings here are just a three-story arcade-style building. Shan occupied an attic on the third floor, and moved an armchair to sit on the small balcony of the attic. Seen from this direction, the wilderness under the night is covered with a layer of dark red light, which makes people feel palpitatingly bleak.
Sitting on the armchair, Shan took out a wallet from his coat pocket. Open it, and there is a photo in the wallet. In the photo is Shan, with a delicate and beautiful woman on each side, and five and a half children squatting around. This is Zhang's family portrait. Although Shan looks young, he already has two wives and five children. He is very fortunate that his wives are twin sisters. These two sisters serve the same husband, and they have the same heart, so they are under the same roof, unlike other people's wives and concubines who are jealous all day long. They are kind and virtuous, and they keep the house in order, so that Shem can go out to fight with peace of mind.
Counting, since the intruder appeared, Shan found that he had set foot in the house at the end of two months. He thought to himself, after this operation was over, he had to find time to go home and have a look anyway.
As for the success of the operation, Shan didn't even think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it. Every time he thought of the storm clouds over the mainland, Shan would feel a huge boulder pressing on his chest. He believed in Mu Wu, and even Long Hai would feel this way. That was the intuition of the strong, even before they knew the true identity of the storm cloud, they already had this feeling.
The feeling of facing the natural enemy!
