Chapter 29: The Grave Keeper (2)

Chu Sui has walked out of the grief of his teammates' deaths.

Yes, death in battle, this is the honor given from above, but Chu Sui knows that his teammates, his co-workers, are not worthy of this honor, and he should not accept it, he should continue to live, at least not lying in the cold morgue like now.

Chu Sui's heart was already numb, and just when he realized that he was so cowardly, he was already numb. An Xiaoyu was taken away, he didn't know what would happen, but according to what Bai Amaranth said when he took them over to intercept him, maybe he would be dead?

He couldn't accept it, An Xiaoyu, that beautiful, innocent girl, died like this?

He was heartbroken that he couldn't save her, if at that time, he could be brave, pick up the gun at hand, just like when he practiced, accurately rely on the aiming system to hit the two people next to An Xiaoyu, and then fight with his own life to protect her behind, would everything be different?

As if he had gone mad, he vented all his anger at his impotence on the enemy on the other side, the gun in his hand kept shooting, and he felt a happy relief in his heart as he watched the blood of the enemy he had hit rise and fall to the ground, crawling like a crawler on the ground.

Because of their participation as miners, the inspection team used reckless tactics to directly penetrate Chi Mo's last line of defense and drive all of them out of their living quarters.

In other words, the living area that lost all the experimenters and had no use value was given up on his own initiative and retreated to the industrial area to make a final struggle. Chu Sui followed the team and continued to move forward, and he couldn't count how many people had fallen in his scope, so he could only obey the order to advance, aim, shoot, and continue to move forward.

The teammates around him were constantly hit and fell, and the follow-up troops were replenished one by one, I don't know when it started, there was no familiar figure around him, but he never paid attention to it. The people next to him looked at this crazy miner with puzzlement and surprise, thinking that he must have lost someone very important.

And just as they thought, Chu Sui lost An Xiaoyu, lost his co-workers, and even lost himself.

"The enemy withdrew from the industrial zone, and the first and second teams advanced to seize the position in front of the passage of the cultivation area."

Chu Sui heard the order from a familiar voice in the communicator again, but unfortunately, he was only in the fourth team.

A team of mecha appeared in front of everyone, and stepped on the elevator of the central passage one after another, Chi Mo had run out of ammunition and food, and was forced to the top of the base, wanting to make a final fight with the enemy in the open place of the crop cultivation layer, in the eyes of the inspection team, it was obviously just a battle of trapped beasts.

Victory was in sight, the battle was extremely smooth, the team of the inspection team seemed to be in order, and they only needed to fight according to the order, and they could end this terrible incident immediately, at this time, in the mecha team that was lining up to the elevator, a mecha covered with scars appeared.

Anyone watching from the sidelines wondered what terrible battle had taken place to make it what it was, with only half of its arm left, and some of its armor peeling off, revealing the broken wiring inside, and the constant impact of electric leakage as it moved.

The hydraulic rod that supports the waist on the back is exposed, and a yellow-green liquid flows out, and the power rod that loses the liquid has no effect, making its body appear a little stiff, and as it walks, a large piece of armor on the mecha's leg shook twice, fell to the ground, and mixed in front of it, making the entire mecha stumble.

Just when everyone thought that it would fall to the ground with a bang at this time, and thus end its service period, it actually slowly stood firm in the surprised eyes of everyone, continued to follow the team, and walked towards the central passage, as if nothing had happened.

"02-62, what are you doing? Come on! ”

The second captain obviously did not tolerate the subordinates with damaged hardware, and reprimanded fiercely, 02-62 did not make a sound, but only quickened his pace, and soon the whole team returned to order, which made the second captain and the deputy head of the inspection team very satisfied.

Mecha Team 1 had already passed through the central passage and occupied the vantage point of the doorway on the fourth floor. Or rather, Chi Mo didn't want to fight them desperately on the platform in front of the door, and went straight through the field, on the other side of the fourth layer, quickly building a simple defense with mechs and dirt, waiting for the final battle to come.

Then the second team came out of the hatch of the central passage and spread out the formation on the other side, then the third team, the fourth team...

The defense was left, the first and second teams were the vanguard, and the inspection team began to slowly move forward.

The sun was still shining brightly, the air was filled with the smell of branches and leaves and earth, golden sunflowers, swaying gently in the wind, huge mechs entered the fields of sunflowers, like chocolates falling on golden cakes, and the infantry followed behind the mechs, passing through the high sunflower forest, and it was impossible to see what was in front of them.

Suddenly, the first loud bang began.

The anti-infantry* detonated, and in one corner, a large cloud of dirt, charred sunflowers, and shattered bodies were raised. The sun was dyed bright red at this moment, the sunflower lowered its head, a golden beauty, lost its luster in an instant, and the aromatic taste was replaced by fishy sweetness and gunsmoke.

The battle began.

Chi Mo stood at the back of the fortifications, unable to make any expression.

Watching the soldiers around them fall one by one, without even paying attention to the corpses of their comrades, everyone began to go crazy, completely undeployed, no longer caring about protection, and shooting with desperate roars, but this did not change the outcome.

The only remaining mechs fell, and then the soldiers were gone, leaving Chi Mo alone, standing high on the mound of the fortifications, and in the empty space of the fourth floor, the gunfire finally stopped, and the first and second teams outflanked them from the front and flanks.

It's not so much an outflanking as a ritual.

On such a battlefield, facing the last remaining man of the enemy, and the supreme commander, they deserved to give him the attention he should have received, so they slowly approached from both sides like facing a giant beast, and at the same time silently admired the enemy who was at the end of the road.

The sun shone on Chi Mo's face, and there were broken sunflowers and comrades lying all over the ground, peeling bullet shells and broken armor, he slowly raised his head, looked at the transparent film of the zenith, and suddenly remembered the last time he was here.

He and An Xiaoyu, the two of them stood on top of the large sunflowers, looking at the gorgeous world, with happy smiles, the heartbeats of the two people were so close, maybe it was from that time that the two of them began to fall in love with each other... But none of this will be the case, he thought.

He took a breath, lowered his head again, looked at the formation that had come not far from him, and chuckled, not seeing death as home, no heroic end, just as An Xiaoyu saw when he opened his eyes for the first time, with a gentle smile, as if watching his loved one slowly approach.

The sound stopped abruptly.

All the formations formed a circle around Chi Mo, and a soldier stood up and shouted to Chi Mo: "Second Lieutenant Chi Mo, surrender..."

"Bang!"

Chi Mo raised his hand to shoot it, but unfortunately, it was only in the face.

The soldier with only half of his face left was immediately dragged into the shadow of the mecha by the people behind him.

The deputy head of the inspection team, who saw this scene, was furious and jumped on the platform: "Rampant! Bastard! Fire! Shoot me! Captain One! ”

"Yes!"

Compared with the hoarseness of the deputy minister, the reply of the first captain seemed firm and deep, in the face of such an enemy, his former boss, the former genius of the empire, is still with a shallow smile when he is at the end of the road, and he faces the entire army without changing his face, no matter what he has done outside the battlefield, this is a person who can be admired by any soldier.

Finally able to end a play against such a hero, the captain of the first team can't wait, he wants to personally press the launch button to end his life, to show a soldier's highest respect for the enemy.

Soon, the launch button was pressed, the cannonball was launched, the mecha of the first captain shook a little, everyone knew that it was all over, watching the cannonball approach Chi Mo, the whole world seemed to have stopped, they were all waiting for this moment to come, even Chi Mo.

However, at this moment, a black shadow rushed out of the formation of the second team, blocking Chi Mo's body at an unbelievable speed.

The second captain exclaimed: "02-62! ”

Explosions rang out, sending up large clouds of flames and smoke.

The entire fourth floor was stunned, looking at the fire in front of them, wondering what was going on, why a mecha in the second team that looked like it was going to be scrapped rushed out, and blocked the deadly cannonballs, saving Chi Mo from the final execution.

Chi Mo also felt incredible, he was ready to meet his end, why would someone come out to stand in front of him, the next moment, his eyes flashed with brilliant brilliance, he opened his mouth, and his voice trembled, as if he was asking himself, and as if he was asking the sky:

"Whispering?"

An Xiaoyu looked around at the empty workshop, trying to find a weapon that could at least produce a certain amount of intimidation, and suddenly, her eyes lit up.

In the other corner of the workshop, there stood a huge pitch-black figure, with various wires and pipes inserted into its body, and its armor was badly damaged, even losing half of its arm, but it was still a mecha. The repairman apparently repaired it halfway through and was drawn into the battle before it could do its final work, so it could only wait here for the next mission to call it.

At this time, it met An Xiaoyu.

An Xiaoyu laboriously climbed onto the mecha, looked at the operation room similar to the simulation cabin, overjoyed, immediately turned on the power, and locked herself in the cockpit, she didn't know that in order to test her mecha potential, the simulation cabin in the laboratory increased the difficulty of mecha piloting by seventy percent or more, and now let her pilot the conventional mecha, even if the operation mode is different, but it can still achieve the effect of hiding people's ears.

Opening the airborne map, An Xiaoyu saw the instant deployment, she immediately pretended to return to the team, approached the second team, and after entering the formation range, the team system immediately gave her an automatic number-02-62.

Orders also began to come from the communicator: "The enemy withdraws from the industrial zone, and the first and second teams advance to seize the position in front of the passage of the cultivation area." ”

She looked at her number, 02, it should be the second team, right?

So An Xiaoyu followed the team, trying to get herself into the central passage neatly like the other mechs, a piece of falling armor almost made her fail, but she was glad that she was steady, at that moment she felt that she was so suitable for mecha piloting, like Chi Mo.

Entering the fourth layer, the sunflowers all over the ground were still the same, An Xiaoyu wiped her tears, and finally saw Chi Mo's figure, just in the far opposite mound, there was not much left of his side, and his face was no longer gentle and elegant, but with blood and dirt.

An Xiaoyu looked at Chi Mo stupidly, everything else became irrelevant to her, she wanted to rush up to him immediately, ask him if he lied to herself, ask him if he loved her, but she could only follow the team slowly, and this distance became so long.

She guessed that Chi Mo would definitely be arrested and then sent to the empire for trial, and in between, when Chi Mo was locked up in the base waiting for escort, she would definitely have the opportunity to meet him and tell him all the grievances in her heart, all the questions, sadness and loss.

Whether he wants it or not.

Sure enough, the formation stopped, surrounded the only enemy, and the war was about to be won, An Xiaoyu looked at Chi Mo, he looked up at the sky, as if with tears, and didn't know who he was repenting for.

It's all over, she thought.

But he fired, someone was shot, the frantic roar of the deputy head of the inspection team reached everyone's ears from the communicator, and the calm reply of the first captain came immediately, An Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat, and without thinking about it, he rushed out of the formation of the second team.

“02-62!”

The explosion sounded, An Xiaoyu felt that she was about to be torn, the hard shell of the mecha blocked the high temperature and shrapnel, but the huge impact still hit An Xiaoyu's body through the mecha, she began to understand why piloting the mecha needed special meridians and a stronger body than ordinary people, and also understood the reason why Chi Mo was crazy about it.

The mecha fell to the ground, and there was a churn in his body, An Xiaoyu felt that his body was numb with pain, and his eyes were a little blurry, and then his stomach twitched and vomited.

Can this be motion sickness? When she was confused, An Xiaoyu thought, reached out and touched it, it was sticky, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be blood.

The buzzing in his ears slowly dissipated, and his eyes began to become clear, and the pain in his body came, making An Xiaoyu almost unable to stand up, with a bang, the armor on the top of his head completely fell off, and the sun shone on An Xiaoyu's hands. She glanced at it, got up from the pain, and crawled towards the outside of the mech.

I don't know where the strength of her body still remains, An Xiaoyu broke free of her stuck seat belt, and crawled from the cold cab to the sun-drenched land, where there was the most amazing scenery she had ever seen in her life, there was a person she loved, she wanted to go out, she wanted to see.

Finally, she stood on the dirt, unable to stand up straight due to pain and dizziness, and could only lean against the mecha that still had the residual heat of the explosion, and then, she heard a voice with an incredible voice: "Whisper? ”

Raising her head, An Xiaoyu looked at Chi Mo's face covered with dust and mud, and the wound was still congealed with blood, she knew that she might be even worse than him, she reached out and wiped the blood from her mouth, and suddenly laughed.

"Are you lying to me?" Ann asked quietly.

"I lied to you." Chi Mo looked at her and said.

"From the very beginning, you wanted to experiment with me, didn't you?" She sighed.

"Yes." He sighed too.

"Zhang Shujie, did you kill you?" An Xiaoyu looked up at him.

"I killed it." Chi Mo was stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile.

"White amaranth is dead." An Xiaoyu lowered her eyes.

Chi Mo was stunned, not knowing what to say.

"To save me, White Amaranth died." An Xiaoyu stared at Chi Mo: "She saved me, let me save you." ”

The air fell silent, and the two men lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

The deputy minister shouted loudly into the communicator and opened fire, but no one followed his orders.

When An Xiaoyu raised her head again, she couldn't cry, she walked towards Chi Mo, walked in front of him step by step, reached out and grabbed his sleeve, just like usual: "Surrender, I'll accompany you." ”

Chi Mo looked at her with wide eyes, she didn't expect this girl to say such a thing, the girl who didn't understand anything at the beginning, was as pure as a little flower in the sea of sand, what she understood, what she was looking forward to, she would know how to choose such a just right reality, and say such a sentence to him.

For the first time, Chi Mo felt that the sin of his experiment was so heavy, but could he turn back?

His face changed and changed, and he finally relented, holding An Xiaoyu in his arm with one hand, and raising the gun with the other hand to aim at An Xiaoyu's temple.

An Xiaoyu was taken aback, but immediately laughed again and asked, "Chi Mo, will I die?" ”

Chi Mo didn't answer, and an ultimatum came from the mecha: "Chi Mo, lay down your weapons and release the hostages!" Repeat! Lay down your arms and free the hostages! ”

But Chi Mo was unmoved, holding An Xiaoyu hostage and slowly walking towards the regional passage, the formation began to make way for him, and actually let him walk to the platform in front of the regional passage.

Tie Qing, the deputy head of the inspection team, looked at Chi Mo: "Don't be stubborn, you have been..."

"Is there no way back?" Chi Mo sneered, choking on a sentence that made his face turn from iron blue to red, and he said, "Get out of the way, let me go!" ”

"Even if you can leave the base, where can you escape?" The deputy head of the inspection team said contemptuously.

"Don't worry about it, get out of the way!" Chi Mo held up his gun.

The fat on the deputy minister's face shook twice, and finally moved his steps, and at this moment, a voice came from the other side: "Chi Mo, long time no see." ”

Chi Mo looked over and said angrily: "Guan Jue! ”

Guan Jue sat on the metal feet of a mecha, crossed Erlang's legs, and his white sideburns flashed blinding in the sun. He held a remote control in his hand and kept playing with it, looking at Chi Mo meaningfully as he played, as if admiring his own work.

"Surrender."

"Huh!" Silence was dismissive.

"Alas~" Guan Jue raised his head and looked at the sky outside the base: "Do you know, I have prepared five moves for you, but I always feel that the first four moves are enough, but don't force me." An Xiaoyu desperately wants to save you, so reasonable, you shouldn't let her down... And, of course, white amaranth. ”

Chi Mo looked at Guan Jue's face, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Then tell me, what kind of tricks do you still have?" I'd like to know how I got so by you, haha! ”

He laughed dryly twice to build up his momentum.

But it didn't work for Guan Jue, both of them knew each other too well.

Guan Jue was not polite, and said directly: "Do you remember the signal that transmitted out of the base?" In fact, no one accepts it, I just need to pass it on, and it is enough. ”

Chi Mo sneered: "Are you mocking me? ”

"No, no, no! I mean, it's not the person who receives the message, it's something else. ”

The smile on Guan Jue's face was vicious and abnormal, making Chi Mo have an ominous premonition, if the recipient of that message was not a person, then what was that range... He couldn't think of it.

Seeing that his face was full of doubts, Guan Jue became more and more excited: "This move is enough for you to be wiped out, now, my hand is on this button, you still have time to choose, whether to surrender or continue." ”

An Xiaoyu looked at Guan Jue's crazy joy and shouted loudly to Chi Mo: "Surrender!" Silence, surrender! ”

But Chi Mo stretched out his hand to cover her mouth, letting her tears flow into his fingers, but he could only make a "whine" sound, he pondered for a long time, the hand holding the gun trembled slightly, and finally raised his head and looked at Guan Jue.

"You're my best friend in life."

"So what?"

"Give you a cheer."

Guan Jue's smile completely burst out: "Hahahahahahahaha All right! ”

The next moment, Guan Jue pressed the button, and everyone found that nothing had happened.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

A blinding flash of light came from afar, a huge mushroom cloud rose up, and two minutes later, a rumbling sound resounded through the sky, followed by a violent tremor of the earth, the base of the steel skeleton rattled, the glass membrane of the zenith shattered, and the explosion was deafening.

Chi Mo had already put down the pistol, let go of An Xiaoyu, and looked at the mushroom cloud in the distance stupidly, almost pushed to the ground by the aftermath of the oscillation without reacting. At this time, he thought about the battle of the "Harrier Eagle" at the waste treatment plant.

I see, the so-called receiver is not a person, it turns out to be so.

He sends a signal from a self-detonating system to the Space Crusher, and once the Crusher explodes under control, what happens next? He felt that Guan Jue must know something he didn't know.

The glass of the zenith shattered into countless pieces and slashed down on the heads of everyone on the fourth floor, and they were so driven by the shock wave that they couldn't stand on their feet, and they couldn't even think of defending against the impending crisis overhead.

But at this moment, the shock wave disappeared, the base was as stable as Mount Tai, the roar was cut off, and it could no longer be transmitted, people looked up, and the broken glass shards fell, suddenly shattered again in mid-air, and finally turned into powder, and fell on the person's body, without causing any damage.

A low sigh sounded from the air, not very loud, but ringing in everyone's ears, exceptionally clear.

Chi Mo raised his head, and An Xiaoyu also raised his head, looking at the figure floating in the sky.

The people in the sky, with black masks, short black hair, black robes, black cloth boots, and black black without a trace of patterns, looked particularly gloomy and depressing in the bright sunlight and rising gunsmoke.

"Who are you?" Chi Mo asked loudly.

The masked man lowered his head, looked at Chi Mo, and replied:

"Grave Keeper!"

As soon as the three words came out, it seemed that a huge storm had rolled up, the heavens and the earth began to tremble, and the day sounded a long thunderclap.

An Xiaoyu will never forget the scene in front of her, just after the grave keeper spoke, these three words with such a huge power struck everyone's heart, making people unable to move, and the silence in front of her began to become like a dream bubble.

She looked down at Chi Mo's body, his feet were gone, turned into ashes and disappeared into the storm, and his hands were gone, also turned to dust.

Chi Mo watched his body slowly dissipate, and finally couldn't help it, and shed tears, this tear that he had endured for so long, how much emotion he couldn't speak, slipped from his translucent face and fell to the ground, leaving his last traces in the world.

He stretched out his hand, rubbed An Xiaoyu's blood-stained cheeks with his empty arms, and then poked his head down, and kissed the forehead of his beloved girl with his remaining mouth, he cried and lay on An Xiaoyu's shoulder, and gently whispered in her ear, just as she was still the girl from the Eastern Wilderness who was lying on the hospital bed, and he was still a young ensign who saved her.

He said: "Originally, I thought, when everything is over, we will be together..."

However, the world failed to leave him with the right to repent.
