Chapter 27: Fragmentation (3)
Chi Mo had already sorted out his mood, corrected his expression, and hid all his tiredness and irritability in his depths, waiting for the moment when An Xiaoyu arrived, he believed that his closest subordinates would not let him wait too long.
Sure enough, the "envelope" reported that the mission had been completed and would arrive soon. Standing in front of the hatch of the temporary operations command room, Chi Mo waited with a gentle smile, he thought that An Xiaoyu would run to him with tears on his face, and then threw himself into his arms, crying and saying, "I miss you." ”
Then he would touch her head and tell her "I miss you too." ”
And then, everything can be saved.
Thinking about it, the smile on his face became more and more gentle. At this moment, the hatch opened, and Chi Mo took a step forward, trying to hold the girl in his arms, who was so excited that she was crying. However, having just taken half a step, his hands were still in the air, he stopped.
There seemed to be something wrong with things, An Xiaoyu did not run towards him and threw herself into his arms, but stood on the side of the door, as if the door was open, but the two of them were still on both sides of the barrier of the two worlds. His heart twitched violently, and he glanced at the "envelope" quietly, and the other party gave him a bad look.
"Is it true?" An Xiaoyu asked crying.
An Xiaoyu's face was indeed as he expected, with traces of tears, but it was not tears of excitement, her eyes were heartbroken, her body trembled, and she looked at herself with desperate eyes, the eyes full of trust in the past had become chills for him.
Chi Mo slowly lowered his hands and looked at An Xiaoyu in front of him, unable to think of any words to explain, nor could he think of any way to deceive her again, or should he not have deceived her like this in the first place? He sighed deeply, did not answer her words, the expression on his face changed and changed, and finally stopped in coldness, he turned around, and the "envelope" immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed An Xiaoyu's arm with the "textbook".
How many tears have been shed and how many setbacks have been experienced, An Xiaoyu has never cried, she always secretly wipes away her tears, pretending that she is still strong, and she can face the next difficulties, with the hope in her heart, looking forward to calm.
But, finally, An Xiaoyu cried.
She stretched out her hand, thought of Chi Mo's side, and asked him if he was fake, if he was lying to him, but she was dragged to death, and tried all her strength, but she didn't break free, and she couldn't take a step forward.
Chi Mo turned his back to her, looked down at the report on the table, issued one or two orders from time to time, and put her aside, like throwing away a piece of garbage, An Xiaoyu looked at the entire command room, all the work was in an orderly manner, and it became a world that had nothing to do with her, her heart gradually became cold, and in the end, all the questions were not asked.
Seeing that she was much more honest, the "envelope" didn't bear to forcibly grab her, let go of her hand, An Xiaoyu raised her hand and touched a handful of tears, she looked at Chi Mo's back. Just a few days ago, this back was still her whole world, still so inclusive of herself, she could rely on it tightly.
She trembled and asked softly, "Am I going to die?" ”
Chi Mo's body trembled for a moment, paused, still didn't say anything, didn't look back at her, just waved his hand slightly.
The "envelope" put his arm on her shoulder: "Let's go!" ”
An Xiaoyu wiped away her tears again, her sleeves were soaked in an instant, she turned around and walked out of the command room.
The hatch closed, and the dull sound seemed to hit Chi Mo's body, causing his shoulders to sink, and everyone in the room muffled their voices, pretending not to see their own commander, and all of them were concerned about their own work.
Chi Mo stretched out his hand, pinched his eyebrows vigorously, and straightened up again. Now that An Xiaoyu has been recovered, the experiment should continue, only one last step is left, he can end this matter, all the unpleasantness will disappear, and get everything he has always wanted, power, status, fame, wealth, that is what he has been desperately fighting for all these years, since he was abolished meridians, and at this moment, these things are going to be held in his hands.
He thought of the accident that year, thought of those who abolished their meridians without asking, thought of the ridicule he received in three years of college, thought of the excitement and pride when he first stepped on the mecha, and thought of the pride of driving the mecha in all directions on the simulated battlefield.
Thinking of this, he reinvigorated himself, took a deep breath, and gave the order to wait for a counterattack.
But before the smile on his face could fully form, the voice of his researcher suddenly came from the communicator.
The voices in the communicator were extraordinarily noisy, the sound of broken glass, the sound of experimental equipment falling to the floor, the sound of tearing flesh, the chaotic shooting, and the terrible screams... There was another voice that overshadowed all the misery, like a winter thunder that weighed on people's hearts. It was a beastly roar, coming from nowhere, and it never stopped.
The researcher who called for help from him cried out with fear, and wailed into the communicator with his life: "Sir, the test subject... Yes! ”
After a burst of electrical sound, communication came to an abrupt halt.
Chi Mo froze in place, holding the communicator in his hand, as if he couldn't believe that just when he was about to succeed, he was about to succeed? Is this me?
He stood there blankly, looked down at the communicator in his hand, and then raised his head to look at everyone in the command room, his body began to tremble, and the expression on his face became more and more hideous. Seconds later, he burst out of the command room with lightning speed, leaving only his hoarse roar echoing:
"Reinforcements! Reinforce! ”
An Xiaoyu was taken to the laboratory by the "envelope".
It's still that laboratory, obviously only one night, An Xiaoyu suddenly feels that the world is no longer the world she lived in before, and it seems that she is not the same person she used to be.
Just when she was stunned, the "envelope" took out the door card, and was about to open the door, but she heard something hit it the other end of the hatch, and there was a dull sound, and if you listened carefully, there was a gunshot on the other side of the door. "Envelope" habitually narrowed his eyes, pulled An Xiaoyu to take a step back, picked up the gun, and aimed it at the hatch.
In the face of all kinds of changes, An Xiaoyu has begun to become more calm than these battle-hardened veterans, she just silently found a corner that she felt relatively safe, shrunk the whole person in, and prepared to run away at any time, waiting for the danger that she didn't know what it was.
No matter what, you have to face it, don't you? She thought.
The hatch immediately opened, but it wasn't opened, it wasn't slammed open. A bloody arm stretched out from the heavy alloy hatch, and the wound on the arm was even deep to the bone, and then the other hand, which forcibly tore the double metal door in half from the middle.
An Xiaoyu looked over and saw the people inside, although it was stained with blood, she could still see that this was one of the people who were soaking in the green cabin on the other side of the laboratory, and she didn't know what kind of experiment they were doing, but now she understands a little.
But this kind of similar experiment, she has only seen in novels and television, even if she does not know the laws of the Empire, she knows that it is a crime, no wonder everyone wants to target this experiment, but now this experiment is successful? How important is your own experiment? What about this person?
Before everyone could react, the "envelope" immediately disconnected the gun, and the gun rang out twice, and the barrel of the gun was still white in disgust. But everyone found that the figure inside the door had disappeared for some time, and then a shadow flashed, and An Xiaoyu saw the severed arm of the stump raised, and the hot blood fell on the floor. The test subject didn't kill them, but just tore their guns apart, and the battle was resolved in less than a few seconds, then took a deep look at An Xiaoyu and turned to leave.
An Xiaoyu didn't know where he was going, and she didn't know what he was going to do, but immediately there was a dense gunfire from the direction he left. She gritted her teeth, straightened up, picked up the dropped key card from the "envelope" that was slumped on the ground and handled her broken arm, and left in the opposite direction.
"Hey!"
Ann whispered back.
Envelope glanced at her, held out his remaining hand, and pointed to the right.
An Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, nodded, thanked him silently, and rushed to the end of the corridor.
She didn't know what "envelope" meant, but she didn't know which way to go, so she could only hold on to the last shred of trust in human nature, and turned right out of the hatch, and the gunshots behind her slowly approached, she didn't think about it, she kept walking forward, passed through the hatch that she didn't know how many, and finally, when she opened the next door, she saw an acquaintance.
An Xiaoyu felt that it seemed to be destined by God, whenever she walked the way of escape to nowhere to go, the last person who appeared in front of her was actually Bai Amaranth, the person she was most hostile to at the beginning, whether it was Chi Mo or Guan Jue, at least retained her respect, but it has always been this arrogant woman who disdains her, and is personally risking to help her.
Once born, twice ripe, Bai Amaranth didn't say anything, took An Xiaoyu and walked another very narrow road, to the equipment group, and then to the front, it was the regional passage, An Xiaoyu asked: "Go up?" ”
White Amaranth nodded.
Bai Amaranth didn't know why after leaning against the wall for a while, not only did he not calm down like the cold wall, but the anger in his heart became more and more intense, and finally rushed to the silent laboratory to save An Xiaoyu.
When she first met An Xiaoyu, she felt that this was a stupid girl who hadn't come out of the Eastern Wilderness and didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, but slowly, she felt that Chi Mo had a special care for this girl, so she began to be vigilant, she couldn't watch people who had nothing to do with this base, or even had a good youth and a good future, being involved in Chi Mo's affairs.
So she talked to Chi Mo once, and even warned An Xiaoyu in person. But this girl was deceived into the trap step by step by Chi Mo, making her feel that this person was not saved, so she never gave her a good face.
But why would he be so eager to save her life?
Bai Amaranth asked herself, she had followed Chi Mo's side all these years, trying to save this man who had gone astray, because she loved him and didn't want to watch him continue to sink step by step. Over the years, she had seen too many people destroyed at Chi Mo's hands, some of them even younger than An Xiaoyu's age, but she never felt that the lives of these people were more important than Chi Mo's awakening.
But why? Will she be here?
She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't have time to think about it carefully, the noise behind her was getting closer and closer, Chi Mo sent a large number of people to round up the escaped test subjects, searching for An Xiaoyu's whereabouts, the back road has been cut off, and she can't get to the part controlled by the inspection team at all, so she can only escape to the industrial zone and find the armed personnel in the industrial zone to keep An Xiaoyu.
Opening the elevator door of the central passage, Bai Amaranth breathed a sigh of relief, the two of them entered the hatch, she pressed the A1 button, the hatch slowly closed, An Xiaoyu even saw the soldiers running over at the entrance of the central passage, but they were a step slower after all.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and the hatch closed completely.
An Xiaoyu was stunned and watched Bai Amaranth fall in front of her.
