Chapter 313: The Betrayer
"What about you, are you willing to be used by him? Don't you want to get your hands on the formula of the stabilizer and from now on, you no longer have to obey other people's orders and live the life you want? ”
The black riders looked at each other, although they didn't say anything, it was not difficult to see from their eyes that they were a little moved.
Su Jinwei still laughed out loud in this situation: "It's really not easy, Wickley." At this time, you also want to divide us through words. ”
"But you're right, I did use stabilizers to control you. But can I not do that? Like you said, I'm just a sheep, and I'm still quite old. If there is no stabilizer, how can I make you lions obedient? I need to use your strength, and you can keep your sanity as human beings. From the beginning, it was a deal, wasn't it? Su Jinwei said: "Although it is indeed a little unfair, but so what, what do you think is absolutely fair in this world?" ”
"Nope." Su Jinwei pointed at him and said, "I will provide you with stabilizers, and you will serve me." I don't feel like I owe you anything in this deal. What's more, in addition to providing stabilizers, I also provided you with conditions that were no less than those in the beginning, but even so, you are still not satisfied. You want to get more, and stabilizers are definitely not the only thing you want to get. So tell me, who told you to do this. ”
Wickley laughed: "No, it's just my unilateral thoughts and actions. ”
"You think I'll believe it?" Su Jinwei asked rhetorically.
Wickley said, "It doesn't matter, believe it or not, that's what I said." ”
"Well, well. I won't kill you, but I'll bury you underground. ”
"Hell?" Wickley laughed out loud, "Old thing, you underestimate me too much. Hell, I've been there a long time ago! ”
Wickley looked at Li Feng and tried to woo him, "Li Feng, are you so willing to be a dog under him?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Li Feng said lightly.
Wickley nodded without saying anything, looked at the other black riders, and exclaimed, "Then you guys, take a good look at me." Today's me is what will happen to you tomorrow! ”
He looked at Lin Xi again, and suddenly exclaimed, "Do you think he is right? For humanity? You've all been lied to by him. He cooperated with the Xenomorphs, this is a traitor, and you haven't thought about who provided the information about the Dragon's Nest, and because of whom, Shi Longfei agreed to negotiate with him. We were even able to leave the Dragon's Lair almost unhindered! ”
Lin Ci frowned slightly.
"It's Douglas! He is also a Zerg general, and he can have everything he has today, and it is Douglas who helps him behind his back! ”
Lin Ci's face changed, and he subconsciously looked at Su Jinwei.
Su Jinwei gestured expressionlessly, and a soldier immediately stepped forward behind him and took Wickley away.
Su Jinwei looked at the black riders and said lightly: "I won't make any guarantees, because for you, guarantees are superfluous. Suffice it to say that this deal, as long as there is value on both sides, will continue. When you don't need me anymore, you can kill me at any time. But until then, don't do anything superfluous. ”
"I'm an ordinary person, but my head is not stupid."
After speaking, Su Jinwei looked at Lin Ci with a guilty face: "You come with me." ”
He walked to the door, and Li Feng had his own Li Feng to deal with Wickley's affairs.
The two silently came to the Central District building and took the elevator to the top floor.
In the core area of the building, Luo Yue noticed that the atmosphere between them was not right, so he walked out in a familiar manner.
Su Jinwei poured two glasses of water, put them on the table, leaned over and sat down, "Drink some water first?" ”
"Is what Wickley said true?"
"Is it really important to you?" Su Jinwei said softly.
"So, what Wickley said is true!" Lin Ci clenched his fists, "Why, why do you do this." Don't you know what we've been fighting against all along? So many people died, and you, actually cooperating with different species? ”
"As long as the result is correct, the process is not that important. Lin Xi, I can understand your feelings. ”
"Then where do you leave us?" Lin Ci stretched out his hand and pointed out the door, and said loudly, "All this time, we have been fighting those things. We have always adhered to a bottom line, and we have always believed that those things are natural enemies, enemies that cannot be compromised! But now you tell me that you're working with some of these enemies. What is this, this is betrayal! What are you opening the Kunlun Jade Ruins for! ”
"For humanity!" Su Jinwei stood up suddenly, and shouted in a voice that was not lost to Lin Ci: "I know very well what I am doing!" I work with Douglas, but we just take what we need. The most important thing is that I will not betray you, betray humanity because of this, isn't that enough? ”
"Why do you think I'm leaving, I was just as ambitious as you were back then. My enthusiasm for this race is not below you, but not everyone thinks so, the jade ruins will be found after all, but the benefits of it will only be in the hands of a few people!
"I can't look at the treasures of ancient civilizations and turn them into the selfish desires of some people. So I chose to leave and choose to save the human race in my own way! ”
"Even if that's the case, you can't work with Douglas!" Lin Ci's tone was firm.
Su Jinwei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "You don't understand, everything is different. Do you think I can get past the Coalition spies and continue my research? Of course, I know that working with Douglas is tantamount to fighting with a tiger, but I also know that there are several tigers like Douglas on that side, and the wolves don't get along. ”
"This is our chance, we can only survive in the cracks of the wolf. In order to be able to continue to seek the dawn of hope for the human race. Therefore I created you and the Bloodeater, and I need your strength. ”
Lin Ci clenched his fists tightly: "Although what you said is very reasonable, I always feel that this will not save mankind." ”
"And what do you mean?"
"I'll have to think about it. I hope you'll take a fresh look at it too. In any case, xenos are always our enemies, and that can never be changed. ”
He opened the door and walked out, leaving Su Jinwei alone.
Sitting on a low slope, biting the core of grass, Lin Xi looked thoughtfully at the other end of the valley. There were a couple of cars coming out of the valley at the other end, and Wickley was on top of the special vehicle in the middle.
Li Feng and the others are escorting Wickley to a special "prison". It took a morning to dig a deep pit.
The pit was indeed very deep, ten meters long. They would pack Wickley in a sealed box, sink it along with it, and finally fill in the pit and leave Wickley to fend for himself.
Wickley was locked in ten tons of metal, and with his strength alone, there was little hope of getting out. He could only listen to his heartbeat in the darkness, and savor the awakening of the beast in his body.
There was no more cruel punishment than this, at least Lin Ci couldn't have imagined.
"Why don't you just kill that betrayer?" Footsteps sounded, and Twilight crouched down next to him.
"To lure other people out."
"Someone else?" Twilight looked at Lin Xi.
"Father and Li Feng said that Wickley still has a comrade, but unfortunately even Dusa doesn't know who it is. So he was not executed immediately, but secretly monitored. ”
"But that's too obvious, isn't it? You look a little unhappy. ”
Lin Ci sighed lightly and looked around: "Is there one?" ”
"I heard that you left the base directly after you came out of the building, what, what happened?"
"It's my fault, I'm not willing to compromise and give in."
"Lin Ci, I don't think you and Dr. Su are wrong." Twilight sat down.
"You have your persistence, and Dr. Su will have his own ideas. You can't fully understand each other, so he can't think that your insistence is wrong. The most difficult thing in this world to understand is the human heart. ”
Lin Ci's eyes lit up: "Actually, it's right or wrong, I didn't think too much about it." I just don't understand that he used to say that people must have their own principles, but now he's doing the opposite, so I guess I'm more annoyed. ”
Lin Ci looked at her and suddenly said, "Thank you, Twilight, for enlightening me every time I am sad." ”
"Why are you talking about this, aren't we friends, friends have to be like this." Twilight laughed, but there was a faint sadness in her smile.
Suddenly, behind them there was the sound of gunshots. The sound of the gun startled a group of forest birds, and Lin Xi suddenly stood up and raised his eyes into the distance. The sound of gunfire came from the west side of the valley, where there was a dense forest, and Lin Xi glanced at Twilight Snow and said, "Let's go, take a look." ”
He slid down the slope, followed by Twilight, and the two of them rushed in the direction of the gunshots.
The woods have been buried with snow, and the snow between the trees is nearly a foot thick.
It was a human being, and I couldn't see it. But it can be seen that she is injured, and as she runs, it splashes on the snow, and drops shocking red plums.
Behind the woman, there were several people, who scattered in all directions, as if they were going to surround her.
"Quick, don't let her go out of the forest!" One of them yelled violently, and his arms swelled, tearing his sleeves, and the two arms turned into tendrils as thick as children's arms, which turned out to be a xenomorph.
Several other men also mutated, and they were all aliens.
One of the shadow species sped up and leaped over the woman's head, but as it fell, a red light crossed his body.
Fell on top of the snow.
An xenomorph that landed behind screamed.
A bone spur was pulled out of his hand. The bone spur broke through the air, and it was about to pierce the woman's back. The snow behind the woman suddenly exploded, and the snowflakes splashed everywhere, and an icicle rose from the snow, and the bone spurs hit the icicle, which was bounced away by the icicle, allowing the woman to narrowly escape.
The woman with a snowflake on her face turned around in shock, and saw a burly figure fall in front of her, and then the man turned around and called out, "It's you, Cortana?" ”
The woman was Lorna, and it seemed that she was relieved when she saw Lin Ci, and as soon as she nodded, she closed her eyes and passed out.
She fell backwards, just as she was about to fall into the snow, she caught her with one hand, and Twilight gently took the woman in her arms and said to Lin Ci: "She should be fine, but she has too many injuries and is in a coma." ”
Lin Ci said "um" and looked back at the aliens. They retreated, then turned around and ran, and soon disappeared into the depths of the snowy forest. Lin Ci frowned and said, "It seems that people are going to strengthen the vigilance here, and the xenomorphs have already come here." ”
"Let's get her back to base first." Twilight Snow Trail.
I don't know how long it took for Lorna to wake up. When she opened her eyes, the bright sight made her raise her hand to block it, and then the person sat up, but pressed a pair of hands.
Twilight pressed her shoulder and said, "You're safe, come, lie down first." Kate should be coming over soon, when I checked you just now, I found that you have inhibitors in your body, Riemann has helped you neutralize it, and now you should regain your strength. ”
After speaking, a lively woman jumped out next to him, it was Li Man. She waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, Miss Lorna, I've neutralized the suppressant for you, but you still need to rest." It will take about a day for your cells to come alive again. ”
"Thank you." Lorna said.
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded, and Lin Xi and Kate walked into the room one after another. Seeing Lorna, Kate, who was still wrapped in bandages, shook slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "Everyone, can you let me be alone with my sister." ”
Of course, Lin Ci would not refuse, and the two of them glanced at each other, and the three of them left the room. After Kate closed the door, she walked quickly to Lorna's side and said in a low voice, "What are you doing?" Cortana, why did you come to the Bright Base? I haven't told Lin Ci your identity yet, but they don't know, but I know the relationship between you and Shi Longfei. So, did Shi Longfei let you come? ”
Lorna smiled contemptuously and said, "If Shi Longfei asked me to come, do you think I need to be hunted down by a group of bastards?" was also injected with inhibitors by them, and almost died on the way. What, do you want me to play a bitter meat trick? It's not that I don't know, you're in the know, what's the point of doing this. ”
Kate was right when she thought about it, frowned and said, "Then how can you be hunted down by xenos, you are Shi Longfei's righteous daughter." ”
"Do you think he's going to treat me like a daughter? He was just a pet, and after you left, Old Wei committed suicide. In addition, the female commander bumped into you and me to talk, so Shi Longfei knew that I deliberately concealed the true purpose of your coming to the dragon's lair. Lorna lowered her head and said, "If I hadn't taken the opportunity to enter the Light Base for him and investigate the true purpose of your collection of witch corpse samples, I would have been able to get out of the dragon's lair alive." ”
Kate took two steps back and said, "I blame you for saying this, since you have left the dragon's nest, why are you still being hunted down." ”
