Chapter 227: Graveyard
The mechs were not as fast as the starships, but they managed to get into the graveyard before their pursuers arrived. The cemetery not only buried the leaders of the mining tribe such as Toure and Kamara, but also many people with status and status in the clan.
In recent years, affected by the revival of ancient customs, the mining people no longer pay attention to cremation, but choose tombs when conditions permit, each tomb is a large or small room, the lintel clearly records whose grave, and the coffin and the deceased's living life are placed inside.
In fact, this ancient custom has long been abandoned after 10,000 years of precipitation, but after the death of the great Toure, the people were sad and could not bear to cremate it. Since then, people of some status have followed suit, and the area of the cemetery has become larger and larger, and it has almost truly become a "city of the dead".
Out of respect for the dead, people do not come to disturb them except on special holidays or anniversaries, so most of the time in the "City of the Dead" is peaceful.
But today it is destined not to be peaceful, gently landing the mecha in a remote corner, the three of them jumped and fell to the ground, and the tall mecha then disappeared.
Even so, its presence attracted a lot of attention, and soon there were soldiers in ambush, and the three of them shuttled through the cemetery and hid in hiding, without even having time to drink saliva.
Hiding in a tomb again, the pursuers outside had obviously tracked their location and blocked the door, Ling Xiyao and the others understood that they had to do it now.
The three of them had their weapons ready and stood by the wall, but they clearly underestimated the cunning of the enemy and the level of respect they had for the dead, and the soldiers in white did not intend to come in at all, they simply threw a few bombs that could destroy the entire burial chamber, and then turned away.
When she found out what those bombs were, the explosion sounded loudly, although she turned on the protective weapon as quickly as possible, Ling Xiyao's internal organs were still greatly traumatized and couldn't move, Ji Yuntian in her arms was a little better, but she was also dizzy, her ears were ringing, and she couldn't tell where she was.
And the culprits were still not at ease and were ready to come a few more times, but at this moment, the explosion in the center of the cemetery attracted their attention, and they quickly left the scene without hesitation, Ling Xiyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shortly after they left, a charming woman arrived, followed by a man dressed in black.
"These must be the two people who attacked me in the first place, right?" The woman said.
"It's three people, and a child." The man in black corrected.
The woman smiled enchantingly and said: "It doesn't matter if he is two or three, since they go back on their word and attack me, they will not end well, but it is a pity that they were taken the first step and could not do it themselves, so let's do it, for the sake of acquaintance, you can help me give them a ride." After saying this, the woman glanced at the collapsed pile of rocks with relief, and Shi Shiran left.
"Yes, Miss Sophie." The man in black responded without thinking.
Ling Xiyao, who heard the conversation between the two in a trance, almost gritted her silver teeth, eager to cut Sophie with a thousand knives, and regretted that she had relented for a while and left her alive.
When Sophie left a distance, the corners of the black-clothed man's mouth hooked up a cold smile, he also took out a few bombs out of thin air, and threw them neatly in the scattered stone piles, and after a dazzling light, the large stones broke into pieces and gathered high into a pile.
"Baby, baby?" In the dark space, Ling Xiyao called out to the little guy in her arms.
The person in his arms moved twice, and two subtle coughs came out, Ling Xiyao cried with joy, the baby is fine. After the joy, she suddenly remembered that she had not seen Ji Wenjin since the explosion, and her joy was completely diluted.
"Ji Wenjin? Ji Wenjin? ”
There was no echo in the dark space, and she had a bad feeling of premonition, but they were facing a more pressing problem at the moment, and the oxygen content in the small space was not much, and the two of them had difficulty breathing.
"Mom...... I'm so sleepy. "The little guy's lung capacity is small, and he can't support it at first, and his body is weak and weak.
Ling Xiyao secretly screamed that it was not good, she imitated the TV and the plot in it, slapped his face vigorously, and encouraged: "Baby, we can't sleep, we can't get out if we sleep, ah?"
The little guy wanted to answer, but he had no strength in his body, he couldn't even speak, he felt that his life force was draining, probably dying, he thought, and couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
Ling Xiyao thought that he had fainted, the strength in his hand increased, his little face was left and right, and the little guy's tears flowed more fiercely, he didn't want to become like a pig's head after his death, in order to keep his handsome appearance, he struggled to make two syllables from his throat in protest.
His voice was as thin as a mosquito, but Ling Xiyao still heard it, she fumbled and held his little face, and prayed: "Baby, for the sake of mother, you must persevere!"
Ling Xiyao's words cleared the little guy's brain, he recalled the scene of being cornered by traps and beasts several times in Yan Huangxing, at that time he never thought that he would die, because he clearly understood that it was just a test, not real, so every time he was not afraid, nor did he give up, and successfully passed all the levels.
But he didn't expect that in the desperate situation of reality, he gave up lightly, and in his chagrin, the little guy sorted out his emotions, adjusted the rhythm of his breathing, and used a weak voice to stop Ling Xiyao, who hit the stone chips above his head with his bare hands.
"Mom, stop fighting, I have a way."
When his son spoke, Ling Xiyao decisively stopped his movements, "What way?" ”
"Recoil force, attack the rocks beneath us with faster-than-light weapons, pushing us backwards."
Ling Xiyao thought about it, this is indeed a good way, but it is really unwilling to waste such a super weapon in vain, after using it on Jiang Xiaoyao last time, the little guy prepared a new one for her, and she has not been willing to use it.
Ji Yuntian pulled her clothes and urged, and was about to speak, when suddenly his breathing became rapid, like a fish out of water making its last dying struggle.
Ling Xiyao's heart tightened, secretly scolding herself for being stupid, it was time for life and death, she was still distressed about the weapon, no longer hesitated, hugged her son tightly, took out the weapon, and fired a shot downward, the huge recoil force pushed the two of them upward, the stones were piled together at random, the structure was not strong, and they stopped on the ground smoothly.
Mother and son didn't care about anything else, lying on the ground and gulping in the fresh air, which lasted about a minute before returning to normal.
"Where's Daddy?" The little one sat up and looked around with his neck open.
Ling Xiyao stared at the piles of stone chips, her expression sad, and she didn't know if Ji Wenjin could hold on until they rescued her.
