Chapter 52: Heavenly Punishment
After admiring this self-suggestive hanging, the civilians were escorted back to the cabin by Norland's soldiers.
Stoker's body was bagged by several soldiers and thrown into the sea.
Chen Lingfeng was about to leave in the gap after the farce ended, but he didn't think that he had already exposed his whereabouts.
"My people, the execution ceremony is over, but the sacrifice to God has just begun. Go ahead and catch that escaped rat. "There was a new order from Norland in the command room.
Claytz, who was standing on the gallows, turned around with the order, it turned out that these guys had been acting, and they had long been aware of Chen Lingfeng's escape.
The soldiers on the deck surrounded Chen Lingfeng's position, and he wanted to rush out to break through, but the disparity in attack power could only make him huddle behind cover and not move. Several times enemy bullets flew past his scalp.
The encirclement of the soldiers gradually narrowed, but Chen Lingfeng had nothing to do, and soon became a prisoner again.
"Boy, it's very powerful, you killed two of my men and wanted to escape from this sea fortress." Claytz took the rifle from the soldier next to him, and then smashed it into Chen Lingfeng's abdomen.
The rifle smashed like a hammer on Chen Lingfeng's lower abdomen, and he only felt a churn in his stomach, as if his internal organs had been shattered. The pain spread all over his body, and he couldn't help but fall to his knees.
"Lift him up! It's your turn to get on that stage. Clytz dropped a word viciously, turned and walked towards the gallows. Two soldiers followed closely behind Chen Lingfeng.
On the gallows, a rough rope noose hung around Chen Lingfeng's neck, and he was hung high on the gallows. Clytz, who was standing on the side, kept scraping the blade of the short knife in his hand with his hand.
"Don't worry, it won't make you feel any pain." Clytz patted Chen Lingfeng's ankle and smiled.
When everything was ready, Clytz gestured to the command room, and after receiving Norland's order, he walked to the gallows.
Once again, the soldiers began to cheer, eager to watch the passage of a man's life, one of the few forms of entertainment they had in the last days. Killing gives them the same thrill as those mutated beasts.
"Alright, it's time to get you on your way. Rejoice, people of the kingdom of Norland! Claytz raised his hands and pushed the execution of Chen Lingfeng to the extreme.
Clytz swung his knife and slashed at the rope on the gallows, the noose around Chen Lingfeng's neck instantly tightened, and he began to fall rapidly. Life was slipping out of his body. He slowly closed his eyes.
"Bang" shots rang out, and bullets came with a wave of heat. The imaginary scene of a broken neck did not appear, Chen Lingfeng only felt that his neck was loosened, and the whole person fell on the gallows.
Immediately after that, the gunshots kept coming, and the soldiers next to him fell one by one. Noland and Clytz ordered all the soldiers to take cover immediately.
The familiar sound of the engine came from far and near, Chen Lingfeng opened his eyes, the blue tail flame shining like a comet, and the deep black streamlined fuselage, the Nighthawk One was hovering over the aircraft carrier Sektis.
Razor held out his thumb towards Chen Lingfeng with a sniper rifle, and Chen Lingfeng immediately responded with a smile. Those familiar figures slowly became clear, and after nearly half a year of getting along day and night, Chen Lingfeng had already regarded everyone in the Firefly Squad as his family.
The guns on board the aircraft carrier "Knock, Knock" began to fire at the Nighthawk One, and the shells came with flames, and Nighthawk immediately turned around and drove the fighter to dodge.
The doors of the fighter plane were all opened, and the Firefly team jumped out of the cabin. After dropping the Rinsa, Nighthawk One made a bright blue arc from the sky and left the sea where the aircraft carrier was located.
Nighthawk One left, and the Norland soldiers, who were suppressed by artillery fire, immediately gained confidence again, and under the leadership of Clytz, they stood up from behind the cover and launched an attack on the firefly team.
"Sister, I really miss you!" Fox Huo completely ignored the fierce battle between the two sides, and hugged Chen Lingfeng over.
"Do you think it's appropriate to do this now?" Ning Yu pulled the fox fire aside.
"You're already a qualified fighter, welcome home!" Razor slapped him on the shoulder, then extended his fist, followed by the rest of the Firefly Team. Chen Lingfeng nodded, and bumped fists with them one by one, he felt for the first time that he belonged as a warrior.
"With this, you deserve it now." Ning Yu took out a small black seal, and an orange-red firefly was carved on the front. It was the token left for Lisa that day.
Chen Lingfeng held the small seal tightly, he knew that this was the eternal mark of the Firefly Squad. He has grown into a warrior, a warrior of the Firefly Squad and a ray of hope for humanity, igniting the fireflies of this apocalyptic world.
"Soldier, your first mission is to destroy those shipboard guns with Rinto." Ning Yu ordered solemnly, restoring the majesty of the captain.
"Understood, Captain!" Chen Lingfeng replied categorically.
"The battle plan, Ling Feng drove the Rin knife to destroy the ship's artillery, and the rest of the people took advantage of the cover to shoot." Ning Yu arranged the tactics, and the firefly team immediately carried out their own actions.
Under the cover of his teammates, Chen Lingfeng quickly reached the white mecha. With his first experience in desert combat, he quickly found himself in the cockpit of Rinto.
The connection line in the cockpit was quickly docked with Chen Lingfeng's nerves, the cohominance was quickly completed, the Rin knife was activated, and the holographic projection of the driving assistant Ellie also appeared in the cockpit.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Xiao Ai." Chen Lingfeng said hello a little embarrassed, he knew that the first time he operated because of the extreme emotional instability, the Rin knife lost control, and finally the nerves were disconnected and he lost control of the mecha.
"Hmph, I really don't want to deal with you, I can't coax that." Ellie turned her head and started a temper tantrum with the little girl.
"A big idiot who can't even control his emotions, I don't want to work with you." Ellie clasped her hands over her chest and continued to scold, apparently not recovering from her anger.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Ai, I know it's wrong, I promise that I won't lose control of my emotions again this time, let's continue to cooperate amicably." Chen Lingfeng took the initiative to extend his hand to Ellie and asked for reconciliation.
"Call you stupid, you're really stupid, I'm a holographic projection of artificial intelligence, and I don't have a chance to touch it. Well, stupid. Ellie shook her head with her hands over her head.
"Hey, forget it, I'll forgive you for the time being, but if you lose control again, I promise you won't see me next time, and you won't want to drive Rin Dao again." Ellie crossed her waist and leaned her face closer to Chen Lingfeng and shouted.
Chen Lingfeng nodded hurriedly, he didn't expect that Rin Dao's artificial intelligence would be such an arrogant little girl.
"Alright, get ready for battle. The strength of the shipborne artillery is one level, the number of which is 6, and the performance of the leg-jet engine is adjusted to the maximum. Ellie instructed Chen Lingfeng in detail on the combat operation of the sword.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, the greatsword behind Rin is called Fenrir, it's not an ordinary greatsword, I'll show you how to operate it. Okay, let's go. With all that said, Ellie disappeared into the cockpit.
Chen Lingfeng clenched his fist, and Rin Dao immediately made corresponding movements.
The city of freedom, the god of faith that Norland proclaimed, will soon be broken. The white mech wields its crimson greatsword and slashes at its foes.
If faith is God, this is God's punishment.
