Chapter 253: Wait and see

"I thought I would come here just in time to collect your body. 35xs" The old man in military uniform had gray temples and cloudy gray eyes, and even by human standards, he looked at least seventy years old, "I can't imagine that you have survived again." Sure enough, what kind of achievements a person can achieve in his life in the end depends not only on his talent, but also on the length of his life. β
"Before you say anything cool, can you do it first and put me down?" The man in the vest tugged at the hook that was stuck in the brick crack with one hand, "I really can't pull it out, I can't pull it out." β
"I'm old, and I've had my bones loose for twenty years." The old man raised his head slightly, his gaze fluttering over the other party's bloody arm, "You still have to wait for the doctor, I don't dare to touch you." β
"So faceless?" The man in the vest struggled to refocus his gaze, staring into the other's eyes gloomily, and whispered, "Old thing." β
After several waves of pain, he finally lost sensation around the bloody hole in his shoulder. That's not a good thing. It bared its teeth at the old man with a distracted expression, but the other party didn't see it, and slowly turned away with his hands behind his back.
"If you don't let me down, I'm probably going to die." The man in the vest glared at the back of the thinning hair, "When the time comes, it's up to you to find a team with such a strong ability from there in a short time." β
"What if I saved you now? Since you're all half-dead, you won't be able to recover in a short time anyway. The old man slowly stepped over a small section of steel protruding from the ground, and rubbed his crumpled hands all over the crack in the broken wall before he continued unhurriedly, "You can save your life, and you are lucky." β
"I didn't live to this age by luck." The man in the vest coughed up a mouthful of bloody saliva, but the corners of his mouth suddenly brought a little smile, and the only movable left hand picked the rappelling rope tied to his waist, "This is called being prepared." β
"Wow, that's a big breath." The old man turned his head and glanced at it, then quickly turned back again, "You should be glad that that gifted person has no habit of mending knives. If it were me, I'd make sure you're out of breath before clapping your hands and leaving. β
"That's fine, I'm holding my breath a lot. In the past, he also deceived people by faking his death. The man in the vest moved back and forth restlessly in a half-suspended position, successfully regaining a little tearing pain, "If you don't let me down, I'll spit the blade in my mouth into the back of your head." β
"Sounds disgusting." The old man also laughed, and finally walked back to the waistcoat man after going around in a big circle, "Isn't it just a blow on the shoulder?" What are you doing in a hurry, it's a big deal to install a new one for you. 35xsβ
"I don't want to be like you, who has changed all the parts on my body before I turn seventy." The man in the vest coughed twice, "There are also internal injuries." Do you think I'm so lucky that I just fell straight into a safe zone? Damn, I was almost stoned to death in mid-air. β
"Don't believe rumors, who told you that I have changed everything?" The old man pointed to his eyes, "This is the original, so it's a little hard to see now." β
"What then? You put me down first, and I'll pay you for surgery later? The man in the vest's vision began to darken again piece by piece, "Really, you have always refused to die honestly, how uncomfortable it is for those big people who are waiting to take over." β
"I'm so embarrassed, I can't even look down on the few who want to take over." The old man paused, flexed his finger and tapped a short cipher on the microphone of the headset, "So I can only sit in this increasingly hot position for a few more years, and try to boil them all to death." β
"Ha, are you talking about pride or modesty?" The man in the vest struggled to keep his eyes open, "What an old immortal, you should be one hundred and forty-one...... It's still a hundred and forty-second birthday, right? β
"According to the common calendar here, it is one hundred and forty-three years old." The old man clapped his hands slightly, and the doctors and nurses who had been waiting in the distance for a long time stumbled around the obstacles on the ground and gradually approached.
Perhaps because of the different living environments in the past, the average lifespan of the six fingers is longer than that of humans, and they are relatively less old. But despite this, there are still very few people who can occupy important positions at this age, not to mention that the old man in front of him claims to have never received any false titles.
Since he promised to take care of the army for the people above, he naturally couldn't just sit in the office every day to make tea.
The old man's name is unremarkable, but the recognized name is quite familiar.
- "Marshal".
The man in the vest lay flat on the stretcher, distracting himself by thinking of something of little significance.
After all, it's never a pleasant experience to watch a doctor cut necrotic tissue from your own body. The blood loss caused its pupils to dilate a little, and the whole person looked weak.
"Are you still alive?" The old man stood beside it, looking down at it with a look that was both mean and detached, "If you feel that you can't hold it anymore, I won't let the doctor waste the medicine." β
"Thanks to you, I can't die for the time being." The man in the vest rolled his eyes weakly, "Okay, maybe you're right, it's all the credit of the other party that I survived this time." 35xsβ
"Is he arrogant?"
"No, it's calm from start to finish." The man in the vest replied, "Rather than taking the time to confirm my death, he thinks it's more important to get to his companions to help." β
"I thought you would never boast."
"Blowing him up a little bit now will help me restore my own image." The man in the vest laughed and coughed again, but his mouth and nose were immediately plugged by the nurse next to him, who couldn't bear it.
"That's right." The old man nodded, "But it doesn't matter...... Where are all your men now? β
The man in the vest rolled his eyes and said he couldn't speak.
"Well, let me start with a not-so-good news." The old man gave the doctor on the side a look, and soon a relatively clever nurse understood, stepped forward and firmly held the man in the vest down, "The person above has changed his mind again." It is said that what they want is not the city anyway, but a piece of land with a good location; The goal is not to achieve a good record, as long as the effect is enough to deter humanity. β
What exactly do you mean? Said the man in the vest with shining eyes.
"They plan to destroy the city completely and rebuild it at their own expense. Anyway, if you have a lot of money in your hand, it's not troublesome. The old man pointed to the south, "The bomb has been dropped into the shallow sea since ten minutes ago, and there are still ten minutes for us and the remnants of your team to evacuate, otherwise, 'collapse-'." It suddenly grinned, revealing a smile that was not at all vicissitudes, "You know what an undersea earthquake means, right?" The water that comes ashore will wash everything for us. β
-
"Vice captain, there is still no new news from the captain's side." The young teammates behind him were already a little out of their breath, "What do we do now?" Continue to waste ammunition like this senselessly? Or just brazen into the alley and fight those two monsters? β
"Don't be in a hurry. The captain did not reach out to us to indicate that there was no change in the plan. The six-fingered woman pressed her gun motionlessly, "Believe me, if we can purge the gifted person who is the greatest threat to us in such a simple way, it will be nothing to consume this ammunition." β
"What if she doesn't come out all the time?"
"She had no other way out. While that position provided cover for both of them, it also made it difficult for them to find other ways to retreat. Probably annoyed by the question, the six-fingered woman's voice was a little cold, "In other words, if we can't hold on first, and we are all wiped out under them, or we have to retreat, we lose; But as long as they show the slightest flaw first, such as risking their arms or even their heads out from behind cover, then we win. β
"You mean ......?"
"I've never missed a shot." The woman rarely turned around, and glanced around in the confined space, "The 'gifted' is not a copper-headed iron arm, so there is nothing to worry about. β
People like it, who don't usually smile on a daily basis, are generally particularly convincing. The atmosphere in the room was instantly relaxed. The woman lay down by the window again, hiding all the emotions that could not be revealed.
The captain who seems to be a fool and has always been steady and reliable when doing things has not contacted him, which is really surprising to the woman. Basically, both of them are hands-on people who like to do everything themselves, and they have never been comfortable leaving important matters in the hands of anyone other than themselves, so that they can build a wonderful trust on the premise of mutual understanding, and not start to be suspicious of each other because of trivial things.
Looks like the gravitational talent should be a little more troublesome than they expected. Thinking of this, the woman's fingers holding the trigger couldn't help but turn a little white. After all, in the face of these special opponents, who are often outside the rules of physics, it is not surprising that there are any surprises.
Even in a state of inattentiveness, the moment the figure swayed in the scope, the woman fired a shot steadily.
No, no, it seems to be a man who was shot. The woman quickly realizes that she has made a mistake. With this lesson in the past, Jian Songming's actions will definitely only become more cautious. It shouldn't attack the wrong target because of its quick hand.
"Vice-Captain?" The team members behind him didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and complimented stupidly, "Your reaction is so fast, I haven't even noticed it, you've already hit someone." β
ββ¦β¦ I regressed. The woman didn't have the consciousness to save face for herself, "I couldn't kill with one shot...... Forget it, I won't make another mistake. β
She forced herself to be still, and the sculpture generally remained motionless.
The absolute silence that had been maintained in the room for several minutes was suddenly interrupted by a tick of alarms. The players behind him were in a commotion again.
"Vice-Captain! Someone came from the other side of the street! β
"I know." The woman's expression relaxed, "Maybe...... It's an opportunity. β
Thirty seconds later, it saw Jian Songming fall to the ground, a corpse that no longer possessed any special abilities.
Someone shouted in a suppressed voice. The woman exhaled softly, too. But it still maintained its usual majesty and reminded: "Don't relax, take the rest of the people by the way." β
Directly across the street, Ling Shucheng's footsteps stopped.
It was only because of a flash of carelessness that he witnessed how Jian Songming lost his life in an incredibly simple way.
"Don't come out! Don't come out! He could no longer maintain his composure, and shouted into the headset, "Qiu Pingning! You just stay where you are, don't move! β
Letting all the flying shrapnel float in the air, Ling Shucheng walked through the raging fire curtain with a cold face, and the burn marks on his arms were soon covered by the new skin.
"I'll deal with this group of people, you be careful." He didn't care how Qiu Pingning reacted, and was about to climb directly onto the wall of the merchant ship with the help of a charred street tree, but was attracted by a roar from far and near.
In the room not far away, the six-fingered woman became unusually excited: "What did you say, evacuate here?" And the people we sacrificed beforeβ"
"No way, that's what the people above meant. After all, the scale of resistance you have encountered has been greater than they had anticipated. The old man's voice was very calm, "And you are not in very good condition on your mission. β
"What do you mean by that?" Knowing who the person opposite was, the woman bit her lip to try to control her emotions, "After all, the 'gifted' is a special opponent, and we have limited personnel. Under these conditions, it is not easy for us to achieve the results we have now, I-"
"I understand how hard you work, and the above probably understands, so you don't have to bother with any more words." The old man interrupted it again, "The plane that came to pick you up is almost here, take advantage of the opportunity to leave now, don't be brainless at this time." β
"That captain it'......"
"Your dear captain has been slightly wounded, and after a shot of composure he has fallen asleep now. What, do you want me to wake it up right away? The old man teased meaningfully, "If it is the only one who can move you, it is fine, anyway, I still have something to ask him." β
ββ¦β¦ Understood, it was me who was so uncool, and I apologize to you. The woman gestured behind her, and the team immediately began to skillfully clean up their things, "Please don't wake it up...... Is the captain's injury serious? β
"What kind of injury do you think is serious?"
"It will affect its future military career."
"Not really. Our medical level is well developed. The old man probably heard something, and his laughter was a little subtle, "Okay, you guys now retreat to the top of the building, and leave the mess to the rest of the 'talented' to clean up." β
