After seeing Ma Ling leave the Taiyi Department, Xiao Dong took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, from now on, I will be in charge of the operation for the time being. Next, the investigation team is urgent, and we need to give Li Tong and all the personnel an explanation. I hope you will cooperate with my work. ”

"Now, let's make a good decision on the list of members of the investigation team."

When the eastern sky shone slightly, Xiao Wei turned over on the bed, and suddenly found someone sitting on the edge of the bed with her back to her. She immediately bounced up, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and her whole person's aura became very hopeful, like a panther panther pounced on its prey.

"Don't be nervous, it's me." The man said.

Xiao Wei was stunned for a moment and relaxed: "What are you doing, do you want to sneak attack me?" ”

The man smiled, stood up and turned around, but it was Li Yuanqian. He reached into his arms and put an envelope into Xiao Wei's hand: "I'm leaving, this is the letter I left for everyone, I hope you can read it for me." ”

Xiao Wei noticed that he actually had a bag in his hand. She wondered, "You have a mission?" ”

"No, there's been a lot going on tonight, and I don't know where to start. Anyway, I've written everything I want to say in my letter, and it's up to you to tell you. ”

Xiao Wei was taken aback: "You want to leave?" Li Yuanqian, what are you going to do! ”

Suddenly, his body tightened, but he was hugged by Li Yuanqian. Holding this woman who was two years older than himself, Li Yuanqian said softly: "Thank you, Xiao Wei." In the past two years, I probably wouldn't be able to survive without you. Obviously you are more sad than me, but you comfort me in turn. I'm really far worse than my big brother, so it's no wonder you like him. ”

"I didn't want to tell you, but I'm afraid that I won't have a chance in the future, so I'll tell you. I like you, Xiao Wei, from the first time I saw you, I thought you were a good girl. But what you like is the eldest brother, and my eldest is the only guy I don't want to grab things from him. So all this time, I didn't dare tell you. ”

"But now, no matter what. I'm leaving anyway, and I probably won't see each other again, so I'll tell you. You don't have to respond to anything, listen to me, forget about us. Quitting the crow, going to be an instructor, or specializing in civilian work. Then find a good man to marry, have four or five children with him, and live your life well. ”

"That's about all I want to say, that's it, I'm leaving."

With a hard hug, Li Yuanqian let go of Xiao Wei and turned to leave.

Xiao Wei stretched out her hand, trying to hold him. But in the end, the hand was put down. She looked at the letter and muttered, "Stupid, I know, I've always known......"

It's dawn.

Lin Ci opened his eyes and saw the sunlight gradually creeping in outside the window. He yawned and sat up on the bed.

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, and Lin Ci frowned slightly, giving birth to a bad premonition for no reason. The door was quickly opened, and Li Tiefo ran in, followed by his adjutant Lu Jiang. The two of them looked panicked, and Li Tiefo kicked Lu Jiang and said, "You say it yourself." ”

Lin Ci stood up and asked in a deep voice, "But something happened to Li Tong?" ”

Lu Jiang shook his head, nodded again, and then said, "Li Tong, Li Tong...... He's gone. ”

"Gone?" Lin Ci frowned: "What do you mean it's gone?" ”

Lu Jiang said: "Last night I kept vigil and heard movement in the middle of the night. At a glance, it turned out that it was Li Tong who got up, and I thought he just couldn't sleep, so I went up and asked a few words. Before I could say a few words, I ......"

"Just what?"

"I fainted." Lu Jiang said, "I must have been knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, Li Tong was gone." ”

Li Tiefo also said: "Lu Jiang came to me early in the morning, and when I heard about it, I immediately sent people to find it." But I can't find it anywhere, and I don't know where Li Tong went. Brother Lin, do you think it could be done by a different species? ”

Lin Ci shook his head, he was in Black City last night, if it was done by a different species, the blood devouring would warn him. But if it wasn't done by xenos, there were only two possibilities. One is that Li Tong ran away by himself, and the other is that he was rescued.

Lin Ci didn't believe that Li Tong was the kind of person who escaped from the battle, so there was only the second possibility left.

He was rescued.

This is bad news.

Strong winds blow.

The ears are full of whistling winds, and as far as the eye can see, it is a barren and lonely land. Lin Ci sat in the cabin of the helicopter, and looked out of the hatch that the earth was rapidly receding. He had already left the city of Ink and used the only helicopter in the city to go to the Black City.

Although Li Tong was missing and did not have a Kunlun jade disc in his hand, he had to go to the appointment of Heicheng.

From above, the earth is vast, but the greenery is much more obvious than before the first impact. Once upon a time, humans grabbed a large amount of land from nature. The city of Mocheng is dotted with stars, occupying most corners of the land. But now, the city is deserted, the green spreads, and the land is back to nature.

From the perspective of the ecology of the earth, this is a good thing. Suddenly, Lin Ci had a ridiculous idea, perhaps, the world prefers xenomorphs.

Soon the Black City was in sight.

The city looks like a giant tomb in the sun, with sloping buildings, broken pavements, abandoned cars parked like toys on the road, and once magnificent skyscrapers now in a dilapidated state. Some of the buildings are only half left, and the exposed copper-reinforced floors are like white bones turned out of corpses, revealing a strong smell of death.

The helicopter flew over the Black City and finally chose to land on a football field. It's an open-air soccer field, the green ground has long been overgrown with weeds, and the goal on one side has long since fallen apart. On the east side of the spectator stand, there is a huge crack that divides the spectator stand in two, from which you can see the road outside the football field.

"Go back, don't wait for me." Lin Ci said loudly to the pilot, then jumped out of the hatch and landed on the grass.

He looked up, the helicopter was rising, then circled in mid-air and flew in the direction of the city.

After the helicopter departed, there was silence all around.

Lin Ci raised his head, and the sun was shining today. But his mood was cloudy. Li Tong's disappearance disrupted all the layouts, and now he is not even sure whether Jin Shengjie will come as promised.

If Jin Shengjie didn't come, relying on him alone, Lin Ci couldn't see the chance of winning at all.

It's just that it's one thing to not have a chance of winning, and it's another thing to do it or not. Knowing that there is no chance of winning, but still showing up for the appointment is undoubtedly a stupid decision. But sometimes, some things, no matter how stupid they may seem, have to be done!

So Lin Ci came, regardless of Li Tiefo's dissuasion, just because he couldn't abandon those companions who had lived and died together.

Lin Xi didn't let him wait long, and soon, he heard the whistling sound of the helicopter breaking through the air.

A moment later, several black dots appeared in the distant sky. The black dot expanded rapidly, revealing a transport helicopter and three helicopter gunships. Four helicopters flew towards Heicheng, Lin Ci raised his hand, his heart pounded, and he poured energy into his arm, and then spewed out a stream of fire from his palm.

This orange stream of fire soared into the air, exploded in the air, turned into a churning cloud of fire, and then blew it away by the wind in the air.

With Lin Ci's signal, several helicopters adjusted their direction in mid-air and approached the direction of the football field. Moments later, the helicopter was already over the football field and finally landed on the overgrown meadow.

After the helicopter's propeller stopped, the hatch of that transport plane opened first. Jumping from it was a man in a leather coat with a grim expression and one eye closed, who looked like he had lost his vision. The man grabbed a chain in his hand, tugged at it, and someone stepped out of the hatch.

A messy head of blond hair, which looks like it hasn't been washed for I don't know how many days, and the hair has no luster at all, piled up like dead weeds. The familiar face was still there, and there was even a wry smile on it, but the eyes were dull. Lin Xi didn't know, it turned out that Kate would also have a time of silence. At this moment, he couldn't say a word except for a wry smile.

Lin Xi noticed that he was wearing a collar around his neck. A metal collar, surrounded by a syringe, is supposed to be a device that automatically injects Kate with a depressive potion every once in a while.

Kate clasped her hands behind her back, and a chain on the lock reached into the cabin. A moment later, another person came out, but it was Twilight Snow who looked extremely haggard. The girl with better skin than snow now has a dirty face, long hair that is scattered, and her lips are cracked, no different from a wanderer.

When she saw Lin Ci's voice, she shook her head and shouted, "You shouldn't come!" ”

Lin Ci chuckled: "You are here, so I should be here!" ”

The one-eyed man sneered and shouted into the cabin, "Get out of here!" ”

The people in the cabin came down one after another, followed by Chen Hu, who had only one arm left, and Alice, who was also emaciated, and Eric. To Lin Ci's surprise, he didn't see Zhao Yu and Winnie.

Seeing his expression, Twilight seemed to know what Lin Ci was thinking, and exclaimed, "Mr. Wellington got off the boat on a small island, and Miss Winnie followed him aboard." As for Zhao Yu, when we were attacked, he was the only one who managed to break through and leave. ”

Twilight looked at the one-eyed man and sneered, "One of this guy's eyeballs was injured by Zhao Yu. ”

The one-eyed man's face turned red, and he let out a breath of turbid air and walked towards Twilight. He raised his hand and was about to slap Twilight, but a murderous aura that was extremely cold from behind him made him dare not let his hand go.

Lin Ci stood in place, looked at the man coldly, and spit out two words from his mouth: "You dare?" ”

A complicated expression appeared on the one-eyed man's face, and at this moment, a majestic voice came: "Don't do anything superfluous, step down!" ”

Startled, he lowered his hand, his head almost down to his chest, and stepped aside like a dog with a dead tail. Lin Xi's gaze left him and fell on the owner of the voice.

The moment the two sides made eye contact, the entire series of crackling sounds, and even strips of electric light as thin as a gossamer, flashed and jumped around.

Shi Longfei!

When he saw this man, Lin Ci's vision could no longer accommodate anything else. Still wearing a long coat and a black high-necked uniform, the general stepped out of a helicopter and finally stopped at a distance of ten meters in front of Lin Ci.

Not much, not too much, exactly ten meters.

Those thrilling electric lights finally disappeared, and Shi Longfei glanced indifferently at Lin Ci, who was also observing him.

However, in addition to monitoring Shi Longfei, Lin Ci also moved his eyes to the other two helicopters.

He saw the fighters on the helicopter with live ammunition pointed at him, but that was all.

In addition to Shi Longfei, the one who can be called combat power is the one-eyed man. However, that one-eyed man, his combat power was only three and a half orders at best.

The third-order and a half-order combat power is now no longer a threat in Lin Ci's eyes.

Shi Longfei didn't bring other high-end combat power, which somewhat surprised Lin Ci. But think about it, with Shi Longfei present, where can anyone else play, so it is reasonable.

"Well, I don't want to waste time. Give me the Kunlun jade plate, and the person will give it to you. Shi Long flew straight to the point.

Lin Ci had a smile on his face, and it was estimated that he could still smile in the face of Shi Longfei.

He shook his head: "No, General. The deal goes like this, you put my friend first, and they need a helicopter. Wait until they've gone far enough before you get the Kunlun Jade Plate. ”

Shi Longfei's face was not shocked, and he said slowly: "You are very cautious, but do you think I will go back on my word?" ”

"Of course, you won't do this as well, but be careful in everything."

The Kunlun jade disc is not on Lin Ci, he doesn't have it at all. But because of this, Shi Longfei will not be suspicious.

Shi Longfei's face suddenly showed a smile with complicated meaning.

He nodded, raised his hand and made a gesture: "Release the people, give them planes." ”

The one-eyed man didn't dare to question it, and despite the extreme unwillingness on his face, he still untied the handcuffs of Kate and the others one by one, as well as the injection equipment around his neck.

After those things were removed, they could be seen to have obvious pinholes in their necks, and it was these things that suppressed the cells in Kate's body, making them indistinguishable from ordinary people.

Although they have been taken down, it will take some time for Kate and the others to regain their combat effectiveness. So Lin Qi asked for a helicopter so that they could leave calmly.

After moving her hands and feet, Kate looked at Lin Ci, and looked like she wanted to speak and stopped. Lin Ci shook his head, signaling him not to say anything, and said, "Let's go, take them and leave here immediately." ”

Kate immediately understood, and walked towards one of the helicopters that the Xenomorph had given up.

The others silently followed him, but Twilight was the last to leave.

Moments later, the helicopter flew swiftly north under Kate's pilot.

Lin Ci didn't go to see the plane, but stared at Shi Longfei for fear that he would attack. From beginning to end, until the helicopter became an unreachable black spot, Shi Longfei remained motionless.

At the speed of that helicopter, it should be able to fly more than two hundred, or even more than three hundred kilometers, in an hour. In other words, Lin Ci would have to drag on for at least an hour, after all, Shi Longfei still had two helicopters of the same model here.
