Four spacecraft burst through the atmosphere and quickly approached the mine.

From a distance, in the sky above Dawning City, dense dark red spaceships were suspended.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then they looked at the almost ruined Tinder Headquarters, their faces full of anger.

Red clasped his hands around his chest, his blue pupils wondering what he was thinking.

"Boss!"

"Don't act rashly! Let's go find Lee's convergence! ”

"Chief Rhett and all of you, please come with me!"

Shanna's voice came from the headset communication port.

With a quick dive, the four spacecraft soon came to the mouth of the runway hidden in the mountains.

Slowly landed, pushed forward, and was located in the front of the black front, Hao Liangfeng looked at Li standing on the platform through the photon transmission screen.

The thumb rubbed slightly at the second section of the index finger, turned around and unbuckled the seat belt for Hao Lin'er and said, "Let's go!" ”

Pushing open the hatch, just as he was about to walk towards Li, a familiar figure walked up.

Jareth looked at Xu Zhi and them slowly walking down from the black edge.

"Where did this spaceship come from, the spaceship sent to you by the headquarters, and now the supplies are already in short supply!"

"Hey, Shanna, do you know when the church intervened in the management of supplies?"

Xu Zhi turned his head to Shanna beside him with a curious look on his face.

"Hmm... I don't think I've heard of it..."

Shanna put her index finger in front of her mouth and seemed to be really trying to remember, and finally knocked her hand and answered Xu Zhi's question very seriously.

"You..."

"Hey, isn't this Jarys?"

"Chief Red..."

Jares, whose face was pale, was about to have a seizure, suddenly heard a call behind him.

Looking back, Rhett, who held the helmet in his hand, was already behind him.

He bowed his head slightly and said respectfully.

"Those who do big things, don't dwell on such small things!"

Passing by Jaerys's side, Red's armor turned into bits of light and gathered in the bracelet.

Raising his hand, the mechanical palm with black leather gloves rested lightly on the latter's shoulder.

"Yes..."

"By the way, although I don't know what happened between you, but in the future, the three of them will be taken by my District 0, so what is wrong with them, I will help them first apologize for becoming their chief!"

"Sir, you're welcome..."

Jares smiled slightly, and there were some beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Huh? I didn't expect it to be quite hot in this mine! ”

"yes..."

The palm of his hand slapped on his shoulder, and Red twisted the cloak behind his waist and swung into the distance.

The people on Red's side stumbled past Jares.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a pain in my shoulder, and when I turned my head to look, I heard Xie Guangkun's voice coming.

"Ouch, I'm sorry, I didn't hurt it!"

"It's okay..."

The latter's face was a little pale, and Xie Guangkun laughed as if he hadn't seen it: "After all, they are all guardians, how can they be so easily injured!" ”

"Yes!"

"Well, I'll see you next time, brother!"

Li watched this scene from afar, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth when he lowered his head.

"They're still the same!"

"Yo, Lee, long time no see! Why did you come back this time, you can't even go to Dawning City, you're too stretched! ”

"It happened too fast, but I have to admit that I am indeed responsible for this matter!"

Red crossed his hands on his hips: "Hehe, I knew you would say that!" ”

"Did the operation go well?"

Lee asked, looking at the crowd that was gradually approaching behind him.

"Overall it went well, stopping the Zerg ritual, but losing one person..."

Red gave Lee a rough description of what happened in the tunnels in the undersea park.

Hearing this, the latter's face was a little solemn, and he shook his head and said.

"It's already very good, I roughly guessed the complexity of this matter when Xiao Hei came to talk about it, but it seems to be far beyond my imagination!"

"By the way, Red, you know that Xiao Hei was not able to come back during this operation, right?"

Lee's face was filled with guilt.

"Of course I know, don't blame yourself, that guy isn't dead yet, it's just that the situation is a little bit bad!"

Red spread his hands.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's talk about the situation here? What do we need to do? ”

Red asked curiously as he held on to the railing with one hand.

"Come with me..."

When everyone came to the conference room, Mithia looked at everyone with a smile on her face.

"Long time no see, Red!"

"Yo, long time no see, Mixia!"

Red opened his hands and hugged Mithia vigorously.

"Tsk, Mixia, have you gained weight!"

Red asked with his hands raised and a puzzled face.

The latter's expression froze, and the corners of his mouth smiled and said, "Rhett, you guy go out and have itchy skin, right?" ”

"Haha, all sit!"

Red hurriedly snorted and beckoned to the people behind him.

After everyone was seated, the blue projection screen behind Li turned on.

Mithia pointed to the data behind her and explained to everyone.

"Now all the Guardians are rushing back to Earth one after another, but we have found that all communication networks and space satellites have been destroyed by Karemu!"

Li took Mixia's words and looked at the crowd: "And without communication, our battle will become very fragmented, and it will not be possible to launch a large-scale battle at all!" ”

Mithia's sliding projection, and the entire background becomes a flat topographic map of the surroundings of Dawn.

Mithia pointed to the three locations circled in red on the topographic map.

"According to the research of the academic department on my side, we can activate the communication network from a long time ago, because it is buried underground, and it has not been destroyed by Karimu!"

"Now all we need to do is restart the old communications facilities!"

Mithia turned to the map behind her, pointed to the three red dots, and said, "This is the communication point that we must open to investigate and cover the entire Dawning City!" ”

"Two of the points have already been sent, but now there is a problem with this one point!"

The picture opens, and a picture of a sewer outlet is somewhat blurred in the center of the projection.

"This is the picture that the Guardian we sent brought back!"

Ning Meng looked at the photo and said with a puzzled look on his face, "Is there any problem here?" ”

"It's a creature!" Red, who was cross-legged, replied after swapping left and right.

"Huh?"

Everyone looked closely, and at the entrance of the cave, the black dots that were so small that they were almost inconspicuous faintly revealed the figure of a person.

"That's?"

"Yes, an unknown humanoid creature who took over the tunnel, and our Guardians were spotted by them after taking this picture!"

Mithia said with a solemn face, "Until now, that Guardian is still in a coma!" ”

Everyone fell silent.

Li watched as Mithia turned off the projection behind her, and then looked around at everyone with her hands on the table.

"You're just back... It's unfair to you, but I'd like to ask you to go here and turn on the old-fashioned telems! ”

"Okay!"

Red stood up and stretched, the mechanical bones of his body crunching.

"Red, you have to stay... This attack plan needs your participation in the development! ”

"Huh?"

Red looked at Lee, and after a moment he sat back in his seat again.

"Okay, so who's going to go?"

Red looked at the crowd in their seats.

"I'll go!"

Xi Yu got up and said.

"Since Xi Yu is going, then I will go too, so that no one will take care of him when the time comes!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Xie Guangkun's mouth with his feet on the table.

"I suggest a team of three to take care of each other!"

Li watched the two sign up and said to the rest of the people.

"Ning Meng and Mink Ling can't go, and Kayi..."

Looking at the two who were about to raise their hands, Rhett refused directly.

Hao Liangfeng looked at his sister sitting next to him, who seemed to understand what he meant, but his face was a little worried.

Just as Hao Liangfeng was about to speak, Xu Zhi stood up and said to Li and Ruide: "I didn't move when I was in the undersea tunnel before!" ”

Xu Zhi looked down at Hao Liangfeng and said, "You can't let the newcomer keep pressing your head, right?" ”

Li looked at the number of people who had settled down and nodded: "Then you rest today, adjust your state as soon as possible, and set off early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Yes!"

When the meeting dispersed, Hao Liangfeng looked at Xu Zhi beside him and asked, "Why are you going?" ”

"Huh? Didn't you just say that? You can't let this kid keep stealing the limelight from his predecessors! ”

Hao Lin'er leaned out from Hao Liangfeng's side and said cautiously: "Pay attention to safety..."

"Hey, okay!" Xu Zhi smiled.

Shanna looked at Xu Zhi and his thigh and asked with some concern, "Are you sure your left leg is finished?" ”

"It's okay, don't I know enough about my own body?"

At the fork in the road, the four of them said goodbye one after another, and Hao Liangfeng looked at Xu Zhi's departing back, and his heart was inexplicably strange.

"Delusion?"

"Brother?"

Seeing Hao Lin'er's expression, he shook his head and led the latter towards the arranged room.

Xu Zhi opened the door, and when the door was turned off and the light was turned off, the whole person sat down on the ground.

Watching the somewhat shaky left leg, drops of sweat welling up from his forehead.

"Damn, it seems that the situation of the left leg was bad again when the running in the undersea tunnel and the escape of the Ning League!"

Xu Zhi leaned against the door and closed his eyes to try to ease the feeling of powerlessness.

Early the next morning.

Hao Liangfeng looked at Xu Zhi who was standing at the exit, looked at his left leg and said, "It's really not okay, change me!" ”

"Heh, you've only been here for a few days? Don't worry, I'm fine! ”

As if to prove something, Xu Zhi jumped up.

"Then be careful..."

Hao Liangfeng saw the sense of relief on his face, and the uneasiness in his heart eased slightly.

"Let's go, Lao Xu!"

Xie Guangkun waved his hand at the door.

"It's coming!"

Looking at their departing backs, Hao Liangfeng suddenly felt that these people were really a little strange.

"Don't you think they're weird?"

Red's voice rang out on the right hand side of Hao Liangfeng.

“… Hmmm"

Hao Liangfeng did not fall silent this time, but nodded very truthfully.

"Hehe, you will slowly understand in the future that they are not the only strange people, almost all the guardians in this base!"

"Why would they do this, for money, for power?"

Hao Liangfeng's face was full of confusion, and he turned his head to look at Red.

"Hehe, they all have it, but it's more of a mission and responsibility from their hearts!"

Red smiled and patted Hao Liangfeng on the shoulder.

“… Mission... Liability? ”

"Yes, as a guardian, you not only need to protect the lives of the people you want to protect, but also take on the mission of protecting the fire of the fate of the entire human race!"

“…… I don't understand, the tinder of humanity ... Is it really more important than your own life and the life of the person you want to protect? ”

"It's rare for them not to know that if they die, then the people they are guarding may not have someone to protect them!"

Hao Liangfeng asked Rhett in two consecutive doubts.

The smile on the latter's face remained unchanged, and he gently took his hand away and placed it behind him.

"Hehe, maybe it's as you say......"

"So I look forward to the day when I can see this tiny flame blaze and become an inextinguishable fire!"

"Perhaps, until that time, I can unload everything I just said and do what I want to do easily, because it seems to me that there is no shortage of heroes in a world full of fire!"

Hao Liangfeng was a little stunned, but Red's next words made Hao Liangfeng fall into deep thought.

"So not yet, this fire is too weak, and it needs more heroes to protect it! I want to be the hope of this fire, and I want my companions to do too! ”

"Where the leaves fly, the fire grows!"

Hao Liangfeng looked up, only to see that under the metallic silver-white eyes, the azure pupils flashed with a kind of light.

He knew that the light was called hope!
