Chapter 344: The Promise of Sunset Witness (End of Part 2)
"Indeed, my ability can only lead them to this end......" Arthur said and lowered his head, and after a few seconds, he suddenly took out a pistol from the pocket of his raincoat, but the muzzle of the gun was not pointed at the cockpit where Lu Pingchuan was, but his own temple, "I can't decide their life and death, but I myself will never be a member of the 'feed farm'." ”
"Captain Arthur!" Bruce, who was standing on the mechanical sentry more than ten meters away, let out a sad howl, and Lu Pingchuan was also stunned, but before the robot's hand could be stretched out, the gun in Arthur's hand rang out - bright red blood flowers suddenly bloomed from both sides of his head, bringing down his strong body as a stone sculpture and overturning it into the stagnant water under his feet, and the bright blood color only opened wantonly for a moment in a gray rain fog, and soon disappeared in the rain wash.
After the death of the commander, Crassus's positions 1 and 3 immediately entered a state of no command: the mechanical sentinel's defense program ceased to function, and the door of the self-locking command post was opened, and after realizing that it was no longer possible to organize effective resistance, the remaining members of Crassus's camp very simply handed over their ID cards and entered the surrender order into the system dial...... The blue that had firmly occupied two-thirds of the area of the electronic map was completely zeroed out in an instant, and only that little scarlet was left like a flower.
After more than 10 hours of torrential rain, the sun finally broke through the dark clouds and shone again on the endless Amazon rainforest.
The rain-washed rainforest is filled with refreshing air, and the Amazon River and its countless tributaries, which absorb a lot of rainwater, have been transformed from babbling canals into a majestic network of water, enveloping the entire rainforest in a brilliant sparkling water. Lu Pingchuan and Xia Yan sat side by side on the roof of the command post of Position 1, looking up at Caesar's armored robot shuttling back and forth in the position, using a robotic arm to send the surrendered Crassus soldiers and their remains to a safer place.
There are still a large number of piranhas lurking in Position 1 and the surrounding water bodies, so the follow-up work of taking over the position and personnel placement can only be completed by the remaining three armored robots in Caesar's camp. However, Lu Pingchuan was not unhappy about the follow-up of such a slightly delayed victory, and there were still thirteen full hours before the end of the closed test, and they had plenty of time to rest and enjoy the fruits of victory. At this moment, he just stretched out his limbs and sat on the roof of the command post, silently looking at the corpse that had been covered with a raincoat on the top of the outpost not far away.
"He's a good guy, but not a good commander." Xia Yan followed Lu Pingchuan's gaze, and her eyes also focused on Arthur's body, "Kindness on the battlefield is meaningless, and a commander who can't lead a soldier to victory can only be regarded as a mediocre person at best." ”
"Do you think so?" Hearing this, Lu Pingchuan sat up straight, turned to Xia Yan with a calm face, and said, "I have a different opinion, I think he is the best opponent I have ever faced, in a sense, he is stronger than Jiang Lan." ”
"How?" Xia Yan asked rhetorically.
"He's a good guy, but that doesn't mean he's unprincipled. The previous assistance of 'Keriopatra' was a double-edged sword, which not only solved the problem of insufficient manpower and equipment in the later camp, but also brought the problem of unclear command ownership. Looking at the corpse that was as peaceful as a sleeping corpse in the sunset, Lu Pingchuan's tone was unusually gentle, "He is a mercenary, and obedience is his instinct, but even under such passive conditions, he still insisted on seeing the last moment and endured until the last opportunity to launch a counterattack on the No. 1 position...... Our victory today is a fluke, if it were not for this heavy rain, if it were not for the explanation given to us by Jiang Lan after discovering the piranha before, and if it were not for the inspiration of the last internal test giant Wolfe's insulation coating...... It's really hard to say who will win or lose between us. ”
"Perhaps, but the truth is that we won, and the result cannot be changed." Xia Yan stood up, facing the sunset and the beautiful sunrise, let go of the hair rope that bound her black hair, and let the breeze after the rain take away the fatigue and pressure for a long time, "The internal test is over, but the trouble has just begun, do you have any plans?" ”
"We won't have a choice, we won't even have the possibility of entering the 'feed farm', our future is only to die or join them, there is no third way." Lu Pingchuan's face suddenly became gloomy, but the words immediately changed and smiled at Xia Yan, "It depends on whether you are willing to be martyred or continue to be my partner." ”
"You know, I don't like the grey word 'death' or 'failure.'" Xia Yan lowered her head, just as she met the hot gaze that Lu Pingchuan raised her head, and in the next second, she was pulled into her arms by the man in front of her, and a warm and lingering kiss that contained endless bitterness fell on her lips...... After a long time, Lu Pingchuan finally let go of her, and promised Xia Yan in the sunset that was about to extinguish the light and heat:
"I swear that no matter how much time it takes, no matter what the cost, I will take you back from the Black Sheep and take back the life and freedom that belongs to us! I am here to promise you that the same people who have made us saddled with the killing and the sin will one day give them a taste of what it is like to be in the hunting grounds...... I'll make them pay their due! ”
"Until that day, I'll be by your side." Xia Yan covered her fingers on Lu Pingchuan's white-turned knuckles, and the two watched the sunset and the night fall together, "After all, no one can predict the outcome in advance until the last moment." ”
