Chapter 193: Gas Bomb (2)
On the nose of the plane, the stiff Gu worms gradually woke up, slowly wriggling, and were about to assemble.
In the face of these ugly snakes, scorpions, and frogs, I have no panic in my heart, only a surging sense of mission.
"If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha—" The loud and iron-clad sentences in those Buddhist scriptures came to my mind little by little.
No one deliberately wants to be a hero, but the times create heroes, and when I was faced with the critical moment of Dunhuang's life and death, I resolutely chose to charge to the death, rather than cowardly and avoid.
I am a man, the pillar of human society. Only if the pillars do not fall and the courage of men does not collapse, can there be hope for society and the future of the Chinese nation.
"I've got to fix this, there's nothing to say. This is my life, my mission. "I didn't look back, because at this moment the general was already emotionally broken and crying.
Whether she is a general or a jade fox Chan, she has no obligation to carry the Gu worm to the death and sweep away the crisis for Dunhuang. As long as she returns to Kyoto, she will be the royal princess of all eyes, and by some chance in the future, she can even become the royal queen, just like Queen Elizabeth of the British royal family.
Everyone's lives are different, and the path they take is different.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the long snake wrapped around the wings also wriggling, and the snake was full of ferocity. Of course, the cracks at the junction of the wings with the fuselage on both sides have developed into cracks, the length of which reaches half of the total contact surface.
In this case, as soon as the aircraft takes off a second time, the wings will snap within a few minutes when the air is compressed downward.
The glider is gone, and the only way to get out of the base quickly is to rappel and fall down from the hole.
In that case, we will not only have to race against the Gu worms, but also race against the spread of the poison gas after the explosion of the poison gas bomb.
"I can't tell you where the gas bombs are...... You have to come with me, there is a better life waiting for us in Kyoto...... When I met you, I was tired of the ups and downs on the rivers and lakes, and I wanted to go back to Kyoto safely, be my royal princess well, and never come back, never re-emerge...... Come with me, follow me......" The general's hands reached over and covered my eyes.
"You know what I'm thinking, so I'll forgive you." I whispered.
Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not my yearning. When the country is in trouble, it is the responsibility of the husband. If you can't solve the misfortune of Dunhuang, even if you follow her to flee to Kyoto, you will have a bad conscience for the rest of your life.
"You really won't ...... Listen to me? The general said in a trembling voice.
Her fingers were cold, moving slowly downward.
I shook my head slightly, and before I could say no, I suddenly felt a soft handkerchief in her hand, and the handkerchief had a faint fragrance on it.
"I'm sorry...... All I could do was ...... "These were the last two words I heard, and then I lost consciousness."
I don't know how long I was in a coma, but when I became conscious, my first feeling was that my right wrist was tightly bound, and my body was very cold and hard.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw the back of the general.
She was standing on her tiptoes, slipping a rope around the iron gate hook on the stone wall.
Ten paces away is the exit of the base where the glider has passed twice, and in the depths of the passage in the opposite direction is the scrapped glider.
I still had that smell in my nose and a faint tingling pain in both temples, which is typical of Class * anesthetics.
"Tell me...... Gas bombs...... ......"I opened my mouth to speak, but at the moment my tongue was still numb and I couldn't speak clearly.
The general turned his head and leaned over to stare at me.
"Gas bombs, gas bombs...... We had to ...... "I struggled and tried to do it, but my limbs were limp and I couldn't exert my strength.
"Go back to Kyoto and forget about the Dunhuang Heavenly Machine, and forget anything that happened in the Mogao Grottoes, okay? I promise you that you will enjoy endless glory and wealth from now on, and you will not be disturbed by the gossip of the rivers and lakes, okay? We live not to atone for the country and the rivers and lakes, but just to live well. You and I, Xanadu, will never be separated, okay? She asked softly.
Once, I blamed myself for the death of Jade Fox Zen, and blamed the Yellow Flower Society and the Great General. Now, the person in front of me is the person I am sorry for, and it may be a good choice to listen to her and follow her.
Suddenly, her face slowly leaned down, pressed against mine.
"How beautiful, in an ancient city like Kyoto, Fuso, the morning bell and the dusk drum are accompanied by the morning and evening, and you never pay attention to anything outside your body. I am not Jade Fox Zen, and you are not Long Fei, but two brand new people, rich in food and clothing, happy and worry-free, and seriously talk about a vigorous and long-lasting love. Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Yuhuan did not realize the 'Hall of Eternal Life on the 7th of July', let's realize it for them, okay? She muttered.
I took a deep breath and secretly exercised my numb limbs.
This is not a beautiful moment to fall in love and express heartfelt feelings, every minute and second is incomparably precious.
"I'll put you down first, and then block the passage, and let the Gu worms fend for themselves. In this way, we can escape safely, and you are worthy of Dunhuang, okay? She whispered in my ear.
I felt my arms regain my strength and my legs felt better.
Suddenly, I put my arms together, grabbed the general's shoulders, supported my elbows on the ground, and rolled over to hold her down.
I've never wanted to fight her in close quarters since we met, but now, in order to fight for control of things, I have to get my hands dirty.
The general stretched out his hand with agility, and as soon as he was restrained, he rolled on his knees, shrunk his neck and hid his head, and broke free from the crook of my arm.
"I mean well, don't let it down—" she called as she drew her gun.
I rolled, my feet were numb, and I couldn't exert any force, so I could only slam my knee on the ground, pull it out on the spot, and dive forward, hitting my forehead in the general's right shoulder socket.
With a loud bang, the pistol that the general had just drawn fell to the ground.
I took advantage of the momentum and flipped over, and when I got up again, I had already grasped the pistol.
"Don't fight, tell me where the gas bomb is. You go first, and I'll follow. I said as I untied the rope on my right wrist.
"You can't go, the gas bombs are three layers below, and even if you carry them up and detonate them, you won't have time to evacuate from the hole. I've seen the instructions for use, and those gas bombs are so powerful that they can spread to a radius of 10 kilometers in 20 minutes downwind. I know that you will definitely force it to detonate regardless of your own life and death, and in that case, I will lose you forever. The general said.
"The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people. It is better for one person to die than for a city to die. I replied awe-inspiringly.
Forced by the situation, I don't have time to make a name for the "hero" at all, I just want to properly end this matter, eliminate the disaster of the "Gu Refiner's Spear" in a shadowless and invisible way, and not let the people of Dunhuang be disturbed.
The general shook his head: "In that case, it's better to ...... It is better for you to kill me, and I will not live alone...... After returning to Kyoto, he suffered from lovesickness. Dying under your gun, I have no regrets, and this life is complete. ”
Actually, I have one last choice, which is to trap the general first, hang down from the hole, and then completely close the passage to prevent the Gu worms from escaping. Then, I went to look for poison gas bombs according to the route map inside the base, and finally died along with the Gu worms and the base.
In this way, exchange my "must die" for the "must die" of Gu worms, and exchange my life for the lives of the people of Dunhuang.
This exchange, great value for money.
"I don't care who you are, whether you are the general of the Yellow Flower Society or the royal princess Jade Fox Chan of the Heartless Moon Sect, whether you and I have feelings in our hearts or not—all of them. Now, you go, I stay, and never see each other again for the rest of my life. I slowly stood up, carrying the rope, and walked towards the general.
The rope was at least twenty meters long, and the other end was already attached to the iron gate hook, so as long as the general was tied, she could escape from the danger zone.
At the bottom of the cliff, she will naturally be able to find a way to survive and return to Japan.
This is her life, and she will never cross paths with me.
"Mr. Long, don't be like this, don't be like this......" She didn't resist, but covered her face with her hands, tears welling up.
"This is our life, live well, don't die lightly." I whispered to her.
"We could have gone back to Kyoto, we were ...... Can become a fairy couple that everyone envies, why? Why do you have to sacrifice yourself? Why can't you ......?" she cried so hard that she could barely stand.
I tied her hands with ropes, then held her and approached the edge of the cliff.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go." The general was not a weak, simple-minded ordinary woman, and when it came to such a time, she knew that she could not change my mind, and immediately made the most correct decision and left on her own, so as not to cause me trouble.
She grabbed the rope and slid down quickly, reaching the bottom of the cliff in two minutes.
At a height of more than ten meters, we waved goodbye to each other.
This is the true farewell, she goes to the heaven of life, and I go to the hell of death.
She raised her hand and sent me a deep flying kiss.
"See you in the next life." She exclaimed.
The mountain wind passed by, and those three words were swallowed in an instant.
I waved to her and slowly stepped back away from the cliff.
"I'll ...... Worship your ...... in Kyoto Tablet, the next round of knowledge, come to Kyoto to find me......" she called.
Every cry is like a cuckoo crying blood.
After reincarnation, the human soul is lost in time and space. This kind of reincarnation covenant may only be done by Tibetan secret monks, as for me and the general, the relationship is deep, and it ends like this, which is enough.
I followed the hint on the stone wall and closed the three layers of iron gates in the passage one after another.
The iron gate is a fence that not only ventilates the air, but also climbs over the top. Therefore, they are just to block the entry and exit of planes, but they can't block the Gu worms.
What can really cut off the passage is the two stone gates between the three layers of iron gates, that is, the "broken dragon stone" developed by experts in ancient Chinese institutions.
This primitive gravity structure usually appears in the tombs of emperors, generals, dignitaries, and nobles, and when the deceased is buried, the last person to leave the tomb pulls the mechanism and puts down the broken dragon stone, and it is difficult for people outside to open the tomb.
The dragon breaker is a giant stone slab, with a weight of at least three tons or more, relying on its own gravity to cut off the channel. In the narrow terrain, no crane or pulley group can exert force, and manpower alone cannot move several tons of heavy objects. Therefore, for a long period of time, the Broken Dragon Stone has been the biggest nemesis of tomb robbers.
The Gu worms have fully recovered, gathering around the explosion-proof trawl, constantly hitting and devouring the metal net, making a chilling "click" sound.
"Fight, this is the last resort." I calmly pressed the button, and the two dragon stones fell in order, cutting off the light in the passage and cutting off the last ray of life.
Since ancient times, those who can achieve great things will surely be ruined and reborn after death.
