Chapter 271: Confluence
The blast wave of the explosion swept the last of those who had not had time to retreat to the ground. As the closest person to the center of the explosion at that time, Rao Yiling Shucheng's physique also took several seconds to fully regain consciousness.
"Hey, Brother Ling, Brother Ling, wake up"
It may be because the intensity of the ability to use it in the past few days is a bit too great, and there is a delay in the transmission of pain to the brain. Ling Shucheng lay on his back on the ground, and after calming down slightly, he could barely see that the figure standing above him was Lao Zhong.
"Why are you so stupid. Even if it's to save people in the limelight, you're trying too hard. Lao Zhong had a small wound on one side of his forehead, but he seemed to be quite conscious, and even had the strength to grab Ling Shucheng's shoulder and shake it back and forth.
As a result, the discomfort on Ling Shucheng's face became more obvious. But he still accurately slapped the other party's hand away to check his wound, and said calmly in the smoothest tone possible: "I'm fine." ”
"Nothing? Who are you fooling? Lao Zhong's expression was a little excited, "I've eaten more than ten years more than you, and the dead people I've seen are more than double digits." Just now you for...... A person standing in such a position in front of him, even if he was lucky enough to block a little shrapnel with a mud pillar, but was the shock wave a joke? Try coughing twice and feel if there's any pain in your body......"
“…… It's nothing, I'm really fine. Ling Shucheng originally wanted to sigh softly, but he caught a glimpse of the ghostly strange flying machines in the sky, and suddenly his wrist exerted force, pushed the old clock away, raised the volume and urged, "Hurry up"
If it weren't for the super perception that detected the trajectory of those special munitions that could not be seen with the naked eye and intercepted them at close range, everyone who was left here would have no chance to speak. But the enemy didn't give Ling Shucheng time to adjust his state, and almost the same second he stood up, those ghostly weapons were once again stirred by a slight air current, bringing with them countless dangerous fragments and uncomfortable hot winds.
Completely ignoring the dissuasion of his teammates behind him, Ling Shucheng casually used gravity to lift the scattered clods of soil on the ground, and then threw them into the sky as simple cannonballs after compacting them slightly.
"Okay, okay, we've all seen what you're capable of." Lao Zhong was pushed by him and fell, but he quickly patted his ass and stood up, stepped forward and pressed his shoulders again, "Don't be reckless, follow me and retreat, there are only a few of us left." ”
"If no one stays here behind the palace, you can't leave." Ling Shucheng didn't look back, and continued to concentrate on interfering with enemy attacks from all directions, "Besides, if you don't weaken their combat effectiveness as much as possible, even if you hide in the woods, it's not much safer than staying on the plains." ”
Countless top-heavy pillars of earth formed a magnificent landscape behind him. Under the blazing sun, the yellow-brown dust moves with the wind, giving people the illusion of being in the desert.
"Why are you so stubborn?" The sound of the old bell was actually mostly covered by the sound of the explosion, but Ling Shucheng still heard it clearly, "Don't think that if you look good, you will be favored by God and let the bullets fly around you." ”
Another flying machine finally couldn't hold it anymore, and under Ling Shucheng's control, it fell rapidly along an arc, the metal part on the outside rubbed against the air and made dazzling sparks, and finally released the last shock wave while touching the ground.
A few sticks of hay that had been charred twice flew into the sky like a kite that had been flown off. The old bell shook his head with a strange noise in his head, and was about to persuade a few more words, when he saw the figure in front of him suddenly turn around with a premonition.
The young man, who had been cold-faced and untalkative for several days, suddenly smiled at him. Although the smile is very faint and faint, it basically does not convey any contagious feelings of joy. But Lao Zhong was stunned.
Of course, it wasn't because he realized that this guy seemed to be extremely similar to the outline of a female chief's eyebrows, but because he had witnessed how a small piece of shrench grazed the side of Ling Shucheng's face in a few seconds, leaving a bloody wound, and how that not-so-shallow scar gradually disappeared before he could pay attention to the shape of the area.
"The wound on your arm is not light." Lao Zhong heard Ling Shucheng speak again, still in a plain tone, "Hurry up and leave, I will try my best to cover you." ”
"Ling Shucheng, what the hell are you?"
"It doesn't matter anymore." Ling Shucheng shook his head, turned his back again, and repeated, "It's not important anymore." ”
Old Zhong wanted to say something more, but was slapped from behind by another person. He turned his head and saw the bad-tempered captain continuing to curse the enemy with a gauze around his forehead, reminding him by the way, "Either seize the opportunity and get out, or stay and continue to help, in short, don't be idle."
How to deal with air strikes remains the first priority at present. Ling Shucheng pretended not to hear the dissuasion from behind, and took the lead alone in stepping on the improvised earthen wall, manipulating his ability to climb to the top of the wall in a few steps.
This act of being sent to death as a live target soon attracted more attention from artillery fire. But he didn't care at all. The surging sweat was quickly dried by the sun, and Ling Shucheng's whole person was plated with a layer of reflective gold edges.
Beneath your feet is the scorched ground. But he knew that with a little rest, the bright green blades of grass would soon be covered again.
There was another movement from the side, and Ling Shucheng recognized the footsteps and confirmed that it was the old bell who had climbed up so tirelessly. He wanted to spare a little energy to persuade his teammate, who was already past the peak of his physical strength, to leave quickly, but he was tripped by another round of cannonballs.
"Ling Shucheng," Lao Zhong was still calling out to him persistently, "You listen to the captain, the team that originally stayed in the city and waited for our support has come around from the direction of the woods to meet us, you don't need to do any personal heroism here, come back with me to gather."
Support? It came pretty quickly.
Ling Shucheng didn't make any superfluous indications, only frowned slightly, and looked up at the sky that had been occupied by spoon-shaped flying machines.
It is necessary to ensure the safety of the responders as much as possible. He thought.
Just as he was about to squeeze all the remaining energy out and clear the most dangerous obstacles for his teammates, a small white bird suddenly skipped over his head unhurriedly.
Bird? Ling Shucheng was momentarily stunned, and then guessed that this unlucky animal that had entered the battlefield should have been startled from the direction of the woods that were now full of people.
A white feather landed on his forehead. Ling Shucheng maintained a posture of looking up and gently blew out a stream of air.
At this moment, he vaguely saw a few reflective wisps of something flying over his head, fixed on another earthen pillar not far away.
It's the line. It looks like a delicate fabric, but it is extremely flexible when gathered.
Ling Shucheng froze in place.
Less than half a minute later, he saw a very casual short-haired girl in short-sleeved jeans lightly leap over all obstacles and slowly land on the pillar.
"Second team, what are you all doing? When this action is a walk after dinner? The little girl's voice is quite sweet, but her tone is fierce, and the posture of shouting at the earphones with her waist crossed is also full of the appearance of the eldest sister, "Hurry up and keep up with a group of old men who claim to be from the regular army on the ship, and I am not a girl with quick hands and feet, don't be ashamed of you"
The war was urgent, and she had just been dragged out of the precious afternoon sleep time, and she was in an irritable mood, so she didn't even glance at the group of reinforcements who were causing her trouble, and rushed forward with a group of team members who followed her one after another.
The vision was blurred by some kind of sour liquid, and Ling Shucheng felt that he had even lost his voice for a short time, and could only watch blankly as the small figure jumped high again, moving forward with the help of the dense rope.
It wasn't until Yuan Sui turned into a small dot jumping in the distance that he came back to his senses because of the pat on the shoulder from behind him, turned around at a very fast speed, and looked at the old clock face, who was also startled.
"What's wrong with you? Stunned by the explosion? Or are you happy because you are in a desperate situation? Lao Zhong patted his chest exaggeratedly with a gray face, "Why are you reacting so much?" Scared me. ”
"That...... Who are ......? ”
"Didn't I tell you everything? Walk through the woods to reinforce our friendly forces. It seems to be formed by the union of several powerful talents on land. Lao Zhong obviously noticed the girl's figure, touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect their leader to be so young, I heard that a few days ago, wasn't it still a young man in his thirties?" It seems that during the war years, a group of unexpected talents always emerged...... Wait, why are you going? Now that the army is here, let's hurry back to the woods and meet with the other captains. Don't go too far and beware, be careful that people count you in the list of fallen soldiers......"
"I have a special thing to do." Ling Shucheng shook off the hand he was holding on his shoulder, and rarely raised the speed of his speech, "You go back first, I"
"What a stupid thing to say. Let's not mention that you are still injured, and then what is the most important thing on the battlefield? Obey orders, don't touch the captains' brows at such a juncture, and cut off the way to promotion and fortune...... Hey, I didn't hear you."
Without giving him a chance to reach out and pull it, Ling Shucheng had already jumped two steps away, and then bowed deeply with the eagerness that Lao Zhong had never seen, and threw out a sentence "I will definitely take the initiative to confess the guilt in the future" and began to step on the earthen wall and ride the dust, completely leaving all the warnings behind him.
"Oh, young man." Lao Zhong recalled Ling Shucheng's expression when he saw the female team leader, "Is this for love?" That's too hard, isn't it......"
Even if everything went well, the battle, which concentrated the small semi-talented, lasted until sunset. was made a little laughed by the cheers in the channel, Yuan Sui stood in the middle of a group of bigwigs who had not known each other for a long time, tried to hold back for a while, but still laughed a few times, causing the women around her to look at her several times.
"It's fine. Everyone must be happy in their hearts, and I don't bother to take it. Yuan Sui waved his hand, "Are you sure that the six fingers have clearly put forward the two words of proposal and harmony?" ”
"If you want to participate in this commemorative reconciliation conference in the future, I am the first to welcome you." With a very decent smile, the woman gradually approached and faced Yuan Sui, and then said in a low voice, "I'm sure Mr. Akiyo will definitely be happy to see you as well." ”
"It's you." Yuan Sui raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything more, just asked with his eyebrows, "Can you take the liberty of asking, what is your relationship with him?" ”
The woman took a breath in her ear, smiled genuinely, and playfully responded, "Guess." ”
"They're all people with stories." Yuan Sui glanced at her, stopped asking, and went to talk to other big men.
A hundred meters away, Ling Shucheng stood on the roof of a building that had been half blown down, staring at the small figure.
At this time, he began to hesitate unconsciously.
The change of the first year is on the bright side and taken for granted. It is very likely that she has missed her most helpless and confused time period, and can only watch this extremely fast-growing girl bounce and run all the way away.
If he was to say hello, how would he begin? A dry greeting, a silent tear, or a tightening hug?
After leaving the team for a whole afternoon, the captain was in the headset and criticized him by name. Even if he is a person who often takes risky actions in the eyes of ordinary people, today is still the most reckless day in Ling Shucheng's twenty days or so.
With a smile that he couldn't even understand, he stared motionlessly at the girl in the distance who was arguing with people because of a trivial matter.
This warm and strange atmosphere lasted for more than ten minutes, until Yuan Sui suddenly turned around without warning, and the two of them looked straight at each other through countless moving heads.
"Ling Shucheng? Ling Shucheng"
The tone quickly changed from question to exclamation. Ling Shucheng saw the girl rushing to this side, completely ignoring the group of people behind her who were full of doubts. The rope exploded in the air like a salute flower, and Ling Shucheng stretched out his hand and took the initiative to hug Yuan Sui before he plunged into his arms.
When his neckline was completely wet with tears, he knew he didn't have to say anything. The only thing she can do is to gently pat Yuan Sui's twitching back to give her a smooth breath, so as not to faint directly.
"I ...... I miss you so much" or Yuan Sui is more active.
"I know." Ling Shucheng rubbed her hair, "It's hard work." ”
Half a year later, Christmas Eve. Yuan Sui deliberately came to the beach two hours early, but when he saw the shadow on the beach, he almost turned around angrily and left.
A date is not a meeting, how obsessed is this person with not letting himself come and wait first, is the usual work of the police department so idle?
She was holding her hands in anger. As a result, I witnessed a little girl running in front of her, then losing her balance and falling headlong in the sand.
"Eh, be careful." Yuan Sui dragged the person out like a turnip, "Don't rub your eyes in a hurry, be careful to let the sand get stuck in." ”
As a result, the little girl not only did not listen to her advice, but rubbed harder. Motosui had to half-crouch down to hold her waving hand firmly, only to stumble upon a scar left between her fingers.
The little girl also reacted, bit her lip with a little frightened expression, and pulled out her hand to run away, but the sister in front of her only sighed slightly, and then rubbed her brain.
"It doesn't have to be to that point. It's all gone. Yuan Sui put it to her ear, whispered a word of comfort in the language of six fingers, and then took the initiative to turn around, and walked a few steps away before turning back and waving at the little girl.
The little girl was silent for a long time, and finally after she had walked away completely, she showed a smile that was slightly more mature than her appearance.
Fireworks of various colors explode in the night sky one after another. The beach immediately became as bright as day.
"Look." Ling Shucheng pointed to the sky, only to get a round white eye.
So he sighed, took the initiative to take the hand that was a little cold, and asked softly, "Didn't you say that you had a little cold?" Why are you still wearing so little. ”
"On a date, I deliberately wore it for you to see." Yuan Sui was very unladylike and lifted the hem of his skirt up, "It's not easy to see me like this, but you still make me angry." ”
“…… I'm just three minutes ahead of you. Ling Shucheng blinked, and corrected a little weakly, "Five minutes at most." ”
"Well, it doesn't matter." Yuan Sui dug a hole in the sand with his foot, and after a while he laughed.
