Friday, July 11th, 2177.

This day finally ushered in the torrential rain belonging to the middle of summer, accompanied by lightning and thunder in the afternoon, it fell obliquely for more than twenty minutes, leaving a large puddle of water accumulated on the ruined battlefield.

Under the sunlight after the rain, it is like a mirror, reflecting the bloody battlefield, and at the same time steaming up the stuffy water vapor, so that everything is shrouded in it, twisted, and swaying There is an unreal feeling.

Tang Ling sat on the edge of the Fortress of Hope, smoking a cigarette, squinting at the puddles on the battlefield.

It seems that a long time has passed, but it is close at hand.

Every summer, after heavy rains, there are also large puddles of water in the settlement.

At this time, when Shanshan was the happiest, she would pull Tang Ling with her soft little hands and happily go to the puddle and drip water.

Beneath the puddle is soft silt, like a mischievous little fish shuttling softly between the toes.

The puddle is a magical world, there will be all kinds of small insects that are not very dangerous, as well as small fish and shrimp, and as the puddle dries up, they will disappear.

It's like Shanshan, she disappears... It's gone.

It's unbearable pain, and it would be nice if the memories could be gone.

Tang Ling took a hard puff of his cigarette, the rising smoke concealed his sadness, but there was still some pain in the jaw of Wu Qing.

This was due to Dil's punch three days ago, but it wasn't really good, Tang Ling didn't take Dil in his eyes, at least his angry punch was not qualified for Tang Ling to pay attention to.

"Smoking." At this time, a figure sat down beside Tang Ling, looking at this kid with some helplessness to stop talking.

Tang Ling smiled and handed over a cigarette.

Uncle Hu Zi has always been a veteran who has always taken care of Tang Ling, and Tang Ling will not be stingy with him.

"Wait another hour, and the people on the night shift will come. After two hours, the on-duty personnel who signed up for the collective mission will cooperate with the 100-person elite group led by the 10 Purple Moon Warriors to start the mission. Taking a puff of his cigarette, Uncle Beard said.

Tang Ling smiled and didn't speak, but his gaze fell on the universal energy stone that emitted purple light.

There will always be the fiercest battle next to the universal energy stone, and the crack that exudes danger will always be so glaring.

However, today's focus is not on this, but on a warehouse area about a kilometer away from the Ten Thousand Energy Stone.

Once, it was occupied by a group of corpses.

However, some time ago, the most powerful leader among the corpse crowd and the eight elite corpses beside him suddenly disappeared, and the Hope Barrier decided to seize this opportunity to clean up the warehouse area and put it into the security area that the Hope Barrier could develop in the future.

After all, that piece of warehouse area is well preserved, and it is very close to the ten thousand energy stones, and the value is extremely high.

As long as it can be successfully occupied, and then add some arrangements, even if the corpse leader reappears, it will not make any waves.

"Without the most powerful guys, and 10 Purple Moon Warriors leading the team, plus an elite hundred-person group, the danger of this mission is really low."

"Besides, your first reserve battalion is only responsible for clearing that corner." Uncle Beard continued to chatter, but his expression had become heavy.

"However, I regret telling you about this mission." He grinned at Tang Ling, this smile was not very good-looking.

The conflict between the Summit Team and Tang Ling was not a big deal in the Hope Barrier, and even several instructors from the First Reserve Battalion did not express any opinions, and it was impossible for the higher-ups to express any position.

But it does not prevent this matter from being used as a 'gossip' to add a touch of color to the iron-blooded life of the Hope Barrier.

Who is Genk? Hope Star of the Fortress of Hope! Many people even thought that once he broke through to the Purple Moon Warrior, he would have an impact on the top ten elite squad leaders among the Purple Moon Warriors, and at least one of them would be pulled down and replaced.

In time, he will be the most powerful challenger to Captain Purple Moon's Wyvern.

Such a person has been rampant in the Hope Barrier, but he turned out to be in the first place from the bottom, Hang Erlang should not be motivated, a guy named Tang Ling suffered a loss in his hands, why is it not gossip?

This kind of loss does not refer to the time, but also to the time when the task is involved.

Not only could Henk's pinnacle team not be able to stumble secretly, but it was best to pray that Tang Ling and the others would not have an accident, otherwise it would be difficult for them to clear their suspicions.

Therefore, it is also because of Dill that he shot angrily! Not only were they provoked, but maybe they had to protect Tang Ling and a few people during the mission? Because no one can afford to have the reputation of mutilating their comrades.

It feels as disgusting as eating!

But so what? Uncle Hu didn't think that Tang Ling really took advantage of it, because people can't just look at the present, they must think about it for a long time.

It's just a collective task, so what's the benefit? Tang Ling's days in the first reserve camp are at least more than a year away, can he get through it?

Maybe the benefits of eating will be spit out the next day.

Even if you get out of Reserve Camp 1, can you still get out of Safe Zone 17? From now on, the shadow of Genk will always hang over Tang Ling.

Because Tang Ling is the most ruthless person who offends the pinnacle team, as for his teammates who have family identities, there is no need to be afraid, and the rest of them are at most slightly suppressed, after all, they try their best to suppress the 'little shrimp', and the reputation of the pinnacle team is not good.

This stupid boy... Unless he becomes stronger than Genk later.

Uncle Hu didn't think it was possible, in Uncle Hu's eyes, Tang Ling was just a clever little slipper, not a genius.

So Uncle Hu blamed himself, because of his kindness, he completely ruined the future of this likable young man.

There is no need to guess, Tang Ling also understands Uncle Hu's thoughts, he smiled and hugged this kind veteran, and said, "I don't want to think too much, so I am happier." Who knows what will happen tomorrow? It's better to live happily. ”

Is this a consolation? Absolutely! Because for veterans, if you don't say anything, I'll go, and what you are kind and so on is.

Between life and death, which can happen at any time, telling him that it is painful to do so can poke him in the heart.

'What a considerate boy', Uncle Hu patted Tang Ling on the shoulder and didn't speak.

On the contrary, Tang Ling looked at the warehouse area and asked, "What is the reason why the Summit Team has to charter this task?" ”

"Quite simply, battlefield principles. According to the principle of the battlefield, a third of the harvest can be deducted for oneself. ”

"What is the main goal of cleaning up the warehouse area this time? It's a corpse! You may not know that corpses are the most prone to crystallization. ”

"I mean these corpses who are close to the universal energy stone." Uncle Hu snuffed out the cigarette butt and glanced at Tang Ling meaningfully.

This is not something that can be recorded in the data, but a secret between the warriors of the Fortress of Hope.

Tang Ling smiled faintly, looking at the target in the warehouse area with a little more heat.

At the same time, the familiar footsteps sounded behind Tang Ling, and Tang Ling turned around—it was everyone from the Raptors squad who was already walking towards him.
