Chapter 851: The Darkest Hour
Shisu didn't ask much, any meaningless conversation now was a waste of time, no matter how much she knew, she couldn't change anything, the only thing she could do was to follow what Adam said before she helped her escape, go to the reinforcements, and destroy Patch!
Under Arnold's escort, the three of them arrived at the city gate smoothly, and now, this closed gate is all hope, as long as the gate is opened, the three of them flee to the wilderness, Patch's claws can no longer catch them, as for the fierce beasts rampant in the wilderness, as long as Arnold is there, Shisu and Xiao Zi will definitely not be in danger.
Arnold took Shisu and Xiao Zi to the city gate barracks, showed his logo as the captain of the dawn team, and said loudly: "Arnold, the captain of the dawn team, the city defense army of dawn, open the city gate!" ”
In the barracks, the captain of the city defense team hurriedly ran out and shouted: "Oh, oh! Calm down, Captain Arnold, it's half past four in the morning, and the beasts that come out at night are still active, what are you doing when you open the city gates. ”
Arnold still held his emblem and lied with pretended majesty: "The Grand Duke's Mansion is urgent, and you have no right to know." ”
The captain of the city defense looked a little embarrassed: "This..."
Arnold was unceremonious, and said sharply: "Delay the mission of the Grand Duke's Mansion, can you afford this responsibility?" ”
"I can't afford it, I'll let it go, I can't let it go." The captain of the city defense quickly waved his hand, winked at his companion, and then said, "But, Captain Arnold, it will take a little time. As you know, this is the main gate of Dawn City, which is different from the 7 years of Honkai, in order to strengthen the defense, the Grand Duke of Invid added a special mechanical bearing system to it after he moved in, and now it is not as simple as opening the door. ”
Arnold has lived in Dawn City since the Collapse Era, and later entered the Dawn Team and became the captain of the Dawn Team, of course he knows this mechanical bearing system, the main city gate of Dawn can be opened casually in the past, but now it takes ten minutes to open at the earliest, this speed can't be faster, and the Grand Duke himself asked for permission to do the same, he can only nod impatiently.
Shisu tugged at Arnold's clothes and whispered, "Do we want to contact the outside world first?" ”
Arnold reacted and hurriedly said, "City Defense Army, take us to the communication room!" ”
Accompanied by the captain of the city defense, the three of them came to the communication room, and the captain of the city defense asked, "Captain Arnold, where do you want to call?" ”
"The head of the Circum-Sea Theater of the Federal Heavy Industry Corps..." Before Arnold could finish speaking, Shisu suddenly pulled his clothes, interrupted him, and said seriously, "No! Call Skull City, call Imperial Colonel Luo Wei! ”
If the Rim Theater Command learns that Patch killed his own father and intends to rebel, will Agroso send a large army to suppress the border? Yes! Absolutely! This is not a minor sin in any country!
However, sending troops within the Federation requires information to be passed on layer by layer, and it will be at least a few hours before the news reaches Agronso's ears, and the officers who are to be appointed to fight and the troops are assembled.
Zi Su believes that the people who care about themselves the most in the world will come as soon as they know the news, and the only person who comes single-handedly is Luo Wei.
This is an unconditional trust, Zisu doesn't know where this trust comes from, but it exists, just like when Luo Wei was dying next to the corpse of the bone dragon, everyone said that he was not saved, but Zisu still took out all his savings to save Luo Wei without hesitation.
This time was the same, Zi Su believed that no matter how far away she was, no matter how dangerous it was, Luo Wei would definitely come to her rescue.
Arnold and Shisu glanced at each other tacitly, then looked at the captain of the city defense and said, "According to what this girl said, call Skull City and ask for communication with the Imperial Colonel Luo Wei." ”
Dawn City is a big city, and so is Skull City, although one belongs to the north and the other belongs to the co-governance area, but the large cities have dedicated communication channels between them to facilitate the sharing of information at any time.
The captain of the city defense nodded, dialed the phone, and after half a minute, he handed over the microphone and said, "It's connected, you can talk to Colonel Luowu." ”
At this moment, Shisu pursed his lips tightly, this is the first communication in three years, and it is the first time in eight years of lovesickness and perseverance, since the collapse of 7 years to the current 15 years of collapse, how many times has Zisu recalled the voice of Luo Wei in his dreams, but after waking up, it was all cold reality.
Now, although it was so far away, but it was so close, as long as he picked up the microphone, he could hear Luo Wei's voice and even hear his breathing.
Zi Su wiped her tears, took the microphone, showed a long-lost happy smile on her face, and said, "Luo Wei, it's me, Zi Su." ”
On the other end of the phone: "Shiso..."
"Yes, it's me, I finally heard your voice..."Very suddenly, the happy smile on Zisu's face froze, although eight years have passed, but Zisu's memory of Luo Wei is so clear, so clear that the sound of his breathing is imprinted in his mind, and at this time, there is silence on the microphone, only...
Very unfamiliar breathing sounds.
"You're not Luo Wei..."Shisu's eyes were hollow, and her voice obviously began to tremble, shaking her head in disbelief.
"Hah, you can find out about this?" On the other end of the phone, Patch's voice rang clearly, like a nightmare, in Shiso's ear, "Where do you want to go?" Zisu, you are the maid of the Grand Duke's Mansion, if you don't come back to serve the new Grand Duke, where do you want to go? Want to find the love of your dreams? ”
Shisu trembled in fright, and subconsciously threw away the microphone, and a rustling and distorted voice came from the broken microphone: "Shiso... I'm coming for you~"
Arnold asked suspiciously, "Shisu, what's the matter?" ”
Shiso realized that it was not good, and cried out in horror: "Not good! Arnold! Come on! The Dawn City Defenses have been bought off by Patch! ”
As soon as Zisu's words fell, a dense gunfire rang out, and the heavy machine gun set up in the communication room erupted into a continuous tongue of fire, and the large-caliber armor-piercing bullets set fire to Arnold, and in an instant, he was beaten into a bloody man.
"Roar!! As a high-level evolutionary, although he is not physically injured and resistant to heavy machine guns, the domineering physique of the giant bloodline makes Arnold not torn apart by bullets like ordinary people, he picked up Shiso and Xiao Zi, and entered the giant form, found the weak point of firepower and crashed into the wall and rushed out.
However, Arnold, who was covered in bruises, had just taken Shisu and Xiao Zichong to the communication room, when he was suddenly illuminated by a large number of searchlights, and the rays of light that tore through the night appeared like a long dragon, focusing on the giantized Arno from all directions with an extremely dense array.
Facing the dazzling searchlight, Arno could vaguely see that it was the dark night before dawn outside, in the darkness before dawn, a large number of city defense troops surrounded Arno in three layers and three layers outside, the eyes of the city defense soldiers were full of indifference, and even stared at Arno with a certain sinister smile, they were all armed to the teeth, holding the most advanced guns in their hands, and the muzzles of the black holes exuded a terrifying aura pointed directly at him.
The pleasant-looking city defense captain just now had a gloomy face at this time, and shouted indifferently: "This is the Dawn City Defense Army!" Arnold, the captain of the Dawn Team, now suspects that you are fornicating with the criminals of the Grand Duke's Mansion, immediately put down the person in his hand, kneel on the ground, and put his hand where I can see it! ”
Arnold roared angrily, shielded Zisu and Xiaozi with his arms, and rushed towards the defense line.
"Fire!" As soon as the captain of the city defense team gave the order, the heavy machine guns that had already been erected sprinkled dozens of dense lines of fire, and the 30mm caliber twin machine guns erupted with terrifying power, and the half-meter-long tongue of fire was like a scorching flame spit out by the Hell Flame Demon.
This 30mm caliber twin machine gun is specially designed to deal with fierce beasts, and the special penetrating warhead is extremely lethal to Arnold, if it is just a machine gun, forget it, and now the city defense army has transferred dozens of them, stretching into a desperate dense line of fire, not to mention people, even the impact of thousands of fierce beasts will probably be wiped out here.
When Arnold rushed through the blockade with his life and rushed out with Zisu and Xiaozi in his arms, he was already unsteady, covered with bleeding bullet holes, and finally fell to the ground weakly, and the last words before falling unconscious were: "Run..."
Zi Su looked at the unconscious Arnold with tears in her eyes, and then saw the soldiers chasing after her, she did not stay where she was, but picked up Xiao Zi, and with the last hope, desperately fled to the intricate streets.
Shiso didn't know how long he had been running, but he felt that his legs were as heavy as lead, and his lungs seemed to be burning with a fire.
When the sun showed its first rays in the sky, tearing through this darkest moment, Zisu couldn't run anymore, she used her last strength to stuff Xiao Zi into the haystack on the side of the road, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Zi... No matter what happens... Don't come out..."
In a short time, as the streets were blocked, more and more civilians who woke up opened their windows to look outside, and the evolutionaries of the Grand Duke's Mansion blocked all the retreats of Shiso, and in the cold contact between the Grand Duke's boots and the ground, a nightmare voice came from behind Shisu: "Good morning, Shisu, offer your owe to me, to the new Grand Duke of the Invid family, and to the new ruler of Dawn City." ”
