Volume 2: The Stairway to Heaven (19)
Fire! As far as the eye could see, there was only fire and blood everywhere, and there was a roar of xenomorphs in my ears, and suddenly a mandrill-like monster jumped up and raised its fan-like slap......
"Ahh
Gong Liang sat up from the bed sweating profusely and breathed heavily.
After a dozen seconds, Gong Liang's unfocused eyes grunted, swept the solid metal walls of the room, and then cast his gaze from the window to the distant lights. After seeing that the lights outside were still on, Gong Liang calmed down and reached out to find a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket.
"Smack"
The flame ignited the cigarette on Gong Liang's lips......
"Brother Liang, I have a good deal here, do you want to come?"
In the underground mining area of the refining center, a young man beside Gong Liang stabbed Gong Liang with his hand and said mysteriously.
Gong Liang stopped what he was doing, glanced at this colleague named Han Lin and didn't say anything, Gong Liang has always believed in a pay, a gain, and never thought that there was a good thing about pie in the sky. Although this new colleague who has just arrived at the refinery is flexible and has only been working for less than two months and has been able to get along with most of his colleagues, he has no reason to give himself benefits for nothing.
"Brother Liang, I know that my sister-in-law is about to give birth, and the inspection is still a handle, so you don't want their mother and son to have a better environment?"
Gong Liang's non-accompaniment did not discourage Han Lin, and he moved out of Gong Liang's wife and his unborn child.
Gong Liang was moved by Han Lin's words, but he also had his own reserve. Although he Gong Liang is not a social elite who has studied in an elite college, he is also a senior engineer who graduated from a famous technical school, and he has an untouchable bottom line.
"Han Lin, if it's harming others and benefiting oneself or being a traitor, don't tell me!"
"How can you! Brother Liang, do you think I, Han Lin, am that kind of person? ”
Han Lin saw that Gong Liang was relieved, and quickly relieved him, then confirmed left and right that there was no one around, leaned into Gong Liang's ear and whispered:
"Brother Liang, I got the news that there is a battlefield relic buried behind the closed area of the mine, and it is said that there are still a large number of usable military materials and equipment inside. Isn't Brother Liang's specialty equipment maintenance? I want to borrow Brother Liang's superb skills, repair some equipment that can still be saved, and then transfer them. Brother Liang, at best, we are just picking up some garbage, relying on our skills to eat, which is not considered to be a traitor and a self-interest. ”
"Where did you get the news?"
"Brother Liang, you don't care about this! You are only responsible for inspecting and repairing the equipment we found, lest we spend a lot of effort but make a bunch of garbage, and we are responsible for the rest. How about Brother Liang? ”
If it is really as Han Lin said, it is a great fortune, military equipment has always been very expensive, even if you can repair a small part of it, it is enough for you to live in peace for a few years, and at most you have only violated some company regulations.
"Okay, I'll do it with you!"
"Good! Welcome Brother Liang to join!"
As they had planned, they spent several days clearing a passage in the restricted area through the lanes of the restricted area, using the large machinery at the refining center. After coming to the closed area, the entire tragic battlefield was presented in front of their eyes, and while they were startled, they were dazzled by a bunch of military supply boxes with green lights.
"Hurry up, let's try to put all these things back in, but it's all money!"
After a while, Han Lin excitedly urged the others to move quickly.
"Look, mech! Mecha! We sent it!"
A fellow yelled excitedly next to a half-seated mech.
When the others heard the news, one of the legs of this mecha was cut off by a sharp weapon, and the pilot gave up the entire mecha in order to escape, and from the structural point of view, this mecha had no other damage except for inconvenient movement.
If it is repaired and smuggled out to be sold, how many credits will it be?
Even Gong Liang, who had always been calm, felt dizzy, and the eyes of the others were even more excited.
"Quick, load this mech and transport it to our secret base for overhaul. Brother Liang, you don't want to participate in the search operation anymore, and find a way to fix this big guy first!"
Han Lin was also so excited that he kept pacing back and forth, obviously this kind of gain still surprised him.
For a period of time, Gong Liang stayed in a dug mining area to repair all kinds of things they sent, military equipment, intact weapons, and various types of broken mechas...... Life is happy and fulfilling.
One day, however, the mining area was filled with the sound of weapons firing, accompanied by strange hissing and human screams. Gong Liang's heart trembled, picked up a repaired weapon and walked out of the studio where he had been staying for more than ten days.
When Gong Liang walked out of the hellish mining area and came outside, he sat on the ground, and in the process of escaping, he had seen several times that the enchanting xenomorphs were broken into pieces and then twisted back together, smashing the soldiers' heads like watermelons with a fan-like slap, as a non-combatant who had been living under the protection of the Alliance's armed forces, such a scene was too exciting!
People escaped from the mining area one after another, and the heads of the staff who escaped disappeared into Gong Liang's field of vision in tens of seconds, and Gong Liang suddenly realized that he was not out of danger. As long as you have seen those xenomorphs, you will clearly know that it is impossible for the armed forces stationed in the refining center to stop those xenomorphs who are like fierce gods.
Gong Liang hurriedly found a vehicle and quickly left the refining center. Walking in the wild at night is dangerous, but the monsters that come out of the mines are even more terrifying and deadly!
In the early morning of the next day, Gong Liang rushed to his door in the safety zone, and Gong Liang, who seemed a little nervous because he had just escaped from the brink of life and death, suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
In the past, as long as my car was close to the hut, my wife would come to greet me with a big belly, why is there no movement today? Gong Liang kept driving the car forward until his cozy nest disappeared from the rearview mirror.
After driving the vehicle to a no-man's land, Gong Liang stopped the car, slapped the steering wheel, and scolded angrily:
"Damn it!"
Now that he can be sure that something is wrong with his family, maybe it was the incident of him and Han Lin reselling materials? The Coalition's enforcers are setting up controls at home? Maybe someone with a heart knows that he has made a windfall and hits the idea on his head?
In either case, my situation is quite dangerous, but fortunately I have some preparations!
Gong Liang dealt with the communication terminal, IC identification card, and work identification card that could expose himself, and then put on a set of clothes with a hood, and squeezed into the crowd with all the hard currency.
After a few days of investigation, Gong Liang learned that all the colleagues involved in the excavation, including their families, had disappeared without a trace in this world, and even the law enforcement officers of the alliance did not have any clues about them. Gong Liang knew that he was caught in a huge conspiracy, and his wife and unborn son were probably murdered!
It may be the angry Lin family who shot at them, or it may be the mastermind behind the Lin family who made the Lin family suffer a dumb loss. But no matter which one it is, it can make Gong Liang doomed! Gong Liang had no choice but to hide this hatred in his heart, abandon his citizenship and rely on his excellent maintenance ability to wander in various buffer zones.
In just a few months, Gong Liang tasted the bitterness of the world, and if he hadn't hoped to be with his wife one day, he would have lost the courage to continue.
The appearance of Liu Yuxin gave Gong Liang hope, he was strong, benevolent, and extremely compassionate, like a perfect person who did not belong to this world, and he made Gong Liang see the hope of redemption.
Gong Liang hopes that one day Liu Yuxin can help him find his family, this wish may be very ethereal, but it is the only hope for a little person like him - it should be impossible for a second high-level evolutionary to help an inconspicuous little person like him!
Liu Yuxin is the life-saving straw that is now placed in front of him Gong Liang! You have to hold it firmly no matter what!

"It's a coincidence!"
Nangong Kun muttered to himself and looked at the two comparison photos on the screen, one was Gong Liang's current appearance, and the other was Gong Liang wearing the refining center work clothes.
"Nangong Hui!"
"Brother Kun, what are your orders?"
Nangong Kun pointed to the two pieces of information on the screen:
"You go and report to Nangong Sheng's old guy, and you will say that there was a fish that slipped through the net in the refining center, and now he is heading towards Kunlun Port with Nangong Gui's murderer, probably to use the information in his hand to seek refuge from the Lin family and the pioneer faction."
Nangong Hui was stunned on the spot at first glance, and only after a while did he say:
"Brother Kun, we have done nothing leaky about the refining center, so it is impossible for an ordinary engineer to get any evidence, right?"
Nangong Kun shook his head:
"What if his accomplices have a backup for him? It doesn't matter if he leaves evidence or not, as long as we make Nangong Sheng's self-righteous guy think they have it in their hands. From what I know of them, they're going to be desperate to send out a purge team, right? That old guy has poked enough leaks lately, and he can't stand the toss anymore!"
Nangong Hui asked excitedly:
"Brother Kun, you mean they're going to fight?"
Nangong Kun said unhurriedly:
"What do you say will happen if the pioneer faction gets the evidence that Nangong Sheng framed the Lin family?"
"The neutrals of the alliance will completely fall to the pioneers!"
Nangong Hui happily clapped his palms and said continuously:
"Brother Kun, wonderful! I don't believe that Nangong Sheng, that old turtle is not in a hurry this time!"
After taking a few steps, Nangong Hui stopped his steps again, turned around and looked at Nangong Kun with some apprehension:
"Brother Kun, to be honest, what are you trying to provoke the conflict between the Nangong family and Liu Yuxin? I don't think I'm sure I have that weight......"
Nangong Kun was suddenly happy:
"I didn't expect you to be a little self-aware. I did this to consume the strength of the Nangong family's lineage, only when they are weak, we will have a chance to do it anyway!"
