Chapter 240: Remorse
At the last moment, a small gust of wind suddenly swept over Yuan Sui's head, blowing the whole net away.
"Tong Bi'an?" Yuan Sui straightened up and immediately reacted, "Where are you?" β
The moving silent flying object casts a large irregularly shaped dark shadow on the rooftop. The joy of immortality was quickly diluted by a strong sense of crisis. She looked left and right in the direction of the two reinforcements who weren't supposed to be here, praying that they would be discovered by the enemy sooner.
Even though she didn't seem to have the right to worry about them in her current situation, Yuan Sui still had a feeling that her plans had been completely disrupted.
The sound of the door slamming on her woke her slightly. Yuan Sui quickly went through all the experiences since he met Tong Bi'an and Gu Lan in his mind, and finally decided to gamble on his instincts.
While the clenched pursuers burst into the rooftop, Yuan Sui turned his head and smiled at the neatly arranged muzzles, then leaned forward and jumped down without hesitation.
The six-fingered soldier hurriedly stepped forward and climbed the edge of the wall to look down. Naturally, there would not be the corpse of the gifted person who was good at controlling the rope on the ground, so she probably got into a room on a certain floor in the process of rappelling at the right time.
The quarrels in the communication channels continue to continue, and unexpected personnel losses occur from time to time. The only exposed gray eyes of the soldiers revealed some agitation. The weather in the area was hotter than they had imagined, the double ammunition they had carried out of caution had added more weight to their loads, and their close-fitting clothing had been soaked with sweat. The leader of the detachment roughly counted the number of people who had climbed the rooftop, and reported the latest progress to the peak in a calm voice.
"Do you want to keep the hunt? The other party knows this place better than we do, and he is a gifted person whose abilities are difficult to target simply. "The language of six fingers sounds like talking with your tongue curled all the time.
No one responded to its question. A neutral bass dominates the channel, making everyone else's speech a background sound. The team leader was cursing and pulling out a newly issued code control manual, but a rope ladder fell from the aircraft hovering overhead.
"How did you get things like this?" After the full range was muted by higher clearance, a young male voice spoke unhurriedly, "Didn't I say that this time I just asked you to see the situation?" How did you start slaughtering human children? β
"Those aren't ordinary human kids." A relatively shrill voice replied, "As we searched for the source of the fire, we noticed that the town in the col that had been abandoned for many years was still inhabited. You've probably heard the legend that there were a lot of artificially bred gifted people living in this area, right? It was the extraordinary human children who attacked us first. Perhaps to escape the fire, their personnel were very scattered. To be on the safe side, we wanted to keep them under control for the time being, and then you would be able to deal with them when you came. As a result, we did not expect that we treated each other with courtesy, but they insisted on provoking the flames of war, and attacked us several times with those wonderful abilities, causing us great losses. β
"You put a gun to someone's head to keep them 'temporarily controlled', and it's inevitable that the children will resist. In addition, what you are doing now is trying to provoke a war. As he spoke, the young officer slowly descended the rope ladder to the rooftop, and asked the detachment leader, "Who is the girl who ran away from here just now?" Looking at his skills, he doesn't look like an ordinary human child. β
"I don't know yet, but she's tricky enough." The squad leader replied, "I'm sorry sir, I'm still thinking about how to continue the pursuit. After all, the current environment is too unfavorable for us. β
"She must have an accomplice, otherwise she wouldn't have escaped from our net so suddenly." The young officer's eyes were slightly darker than the other six fingers around him, so they appeared much warmer, "Turn on all infrared search devices, scan this area comprehensively, and correspond all the captured figures to our soldiers one by one, and if they don't match, they will be rounded up directly." After thinking about it, he added solemnly, "Try to catch it alive." β
"Don't worry, Yuan Sui has successfully escaped from the encirclement." Tong Bi'an wiped the sweat from his head, turned around and grinned at Gu Lan, "Fortunately, we came over in time." Look, I'll tell her not to be strong alone, and to be more powerful when there are more people. β
"Although this is the case, you can indeed be regarded as saving her, but the formation of such a situation may not be what Yuan Sui is happy to see." Gu Lan carefully buckled the edge of the seam with a large arc, "To put it mildly, for the good of others, you must do it in the way that others want, otherwise it will ......"
"That doesn't sound like you." Tong Bi'an's smile instantly became a little stiff, "Are you still angry with me?" Last time, I couldn't get off the stage in front of so many people, I'm really sorry...... But don't be so angry. At a critical juncture, it is more important to be sincere and united, right? β
"No, it's not ......" Gu Lan looked at the eyes that had been moody since they met, and she couldn't say any more, so she had to say vaguely, "The two of us have known each other for so many years, do you think I'm a person who cares about small problems?" β
"It's because I know you're not, that's why I think it's strange." Tong Bi'an followed her words, and suddenly felt shocked, and his eyes flashed tentatively, "It's been so unpeaceful these days...... It also made you experience the pain of losing your shelter again, are you...... Regret leaving with me? β
"What do you say?" The emotions in his chest for many days suddenly couldn't hold back, Gu Lan suddenly raised her voice, "This is my own choice, how could I-"
"Okay, little aunt, let's see where we are squatting now, please be quiet." Tong Bi'an promptly freed up a hand to cover her mouth, and pointed down with his eyes.
The top surface of the spoon-shaped aircraft is like an iron pot that is buckled upside down on the rooftop. Tong Bi'an and Gu Lan were now equivalent to standing on top of the enemy's headquarters, and they were a little trembling when they spoke.
"But Yuan Sui really has some ability, if it weren't for the fact that another 'big spoon' happened to fly, she might really be able to get out of the crowd." Tong Bi'an bluntly expressed his praise, "I remember the last time I met her in 'Bi'an', she was just a small vase paddling behind the big boss's ass, but I didn't expect that in just a few months, she suddenly became able to take charge on her own." β
"Adversity destroys a man, but it also creates a man." Gu Lan looked stunned, "People who don't have a good life can always grow up faster." β
"Why, do you still feel a little envious?" As soon as Tong Bi'an's words fell, he heard a loud decibel voice from the aircraft under his feet, so he changed his words, "What did it just say?" It sounds like he's swearing. β
"You guessed it right, it's just cursing." Gu Lan also felt a little strange, "The translation is a little easier to understand, it greets the mother of a senior officer who is younger than herself, but has a higher position than it. β
ββ¦β¦ said so literati, isn't it just angry scolding? Tong Bi'an leaned closer, and spoke in a soft voice, "Please, don't follow my brother's example, just tell me if you have anything to say." You also know that I am an uneducated person, I didn't have a reliable mother when I was a child, and when I grew up, I couldn't share the late care of my father. There are too many detours that I don't understand, and there are many things that I can't figure out even if I break my head. β
Although he and Tong Siyuan dropped out of school at about the same age, the foundation of their childhood was too different. Tong Siyuan's mother was a well-known teacher in the city, so although she passed away early, she cultivated good study habits for her children. And his mother, to put it mildly, is just a village girl with a bit of beauty. In addition to making him slightly better than his small-eyed brother in appearance, he has never had the capital to attract more attention in front of his scumbag father. But on the bright side, he's not uncommon.
"Do you secretly regret it when I can't see it?" Tong Bi'an lowered his head and asked, "Although it's not a good thing to be a guinea pig for six fingers, at least you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and it won't be like now, your life will be in danger at any time......
"Don't always be cranky." Although the reason was different from what the other party thought, Gu Lan was actually a little weak-hearted, "If you want to force me to say a few explicit love words, I advise you to die as soon as possible." I feel like my skin has become significantly thinner lately. β
"Why?"
"There are so many whys." Gu Lan licked her dry lips, "Maybe I'm here at my age." Don't forget, I'm no more than five years younger than your brother. β
"Okay, then please serve the old as soon as possible, and don't follow me to the front line in the future." Tong Bi'an picked his head helplessly, "It's too dangerous here." While they are still focused on catching Yuan Sui, let's hurry up and run. β
"I thought that with your personality, since you have arrived at the door of the other party's nest, you will definitely break in and make a fuss."
"That's exactly what I thought." Tong Bi'an was still a little embarrassed, "As a result, seeing Yuan Sui's appearance of jumping up and down being chased, I still won't take you on the risk." β
At this moment, he saw Gu Lan's face suddenly change.
"Did you hear that 'buzz' just now?" She asked in a trembling voice.
"I guess there is." Tong Bi'an twisted his neck and looked around, "Is there any problem?" β
"Have you ever heard of infrared search?" Gu Lan's eyes widened, "Guess what they do when they find someone on the roof?" β
As if even his heart had temporarily stopped working, Tong Bi'an stood still for a few seconds, then kicked on his feet, pressed Gu Lan and rolled her several times.
The dense bullets immediately pierced where the two of them had been before. Tong Bi'an gritted his teeth and created a small tornado out of thin air, slightly reversing the shrapnel that followed.
"Let's go!" The sound of the wind forced him to speak at the top of his throat, "I can't stop them for too long!" β
Gu Lan was about to say something, when she saw a bullet grazing the bridge of Tong Bi'an's nose and flew over, and red blood immediately seeped out.
"Let's go together!" She said with some panic.
"Don't procrastinate at this time, I'm not here to stop you, you can't go." Tong Bi'an pushed her hard, but the outstretched arm hurt violently, and he realized that he had been shot again, "No, they are too close to me, and the power of the wind is not enough!" If you get out of here, I'll be able to make a big move! β
"No kidding, don't I know about you yet?" Gu Lan finally managed to regain her balance on the slope, but the area where the soles of her feet were stepping on suddenly rose slightly, and then began to rotate rapidly at three hundred and sixty degrees.
"You're stepping on someone's hatch!" Tong Bi'an hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Jump down!" β
"I'm sorry...... Always dragging you down at critical moments......" Gu Lan's body tilted uncontrollably, and soon fell to the ground due to centrifugal force, and began to roll down like a spool.
At the moment when she was about to fall off the roof along the arc of the top surface of the aircraft, Tong Bi'an also rolled down with her head in her arms, hooking a bulge with her two feet, and holding her with both hands.
"You-" Before Gu Lan could breathe a sigh of relief, she noticed the newly added blood stains on the other party's shoulder, "You let go!" Don't be a target here, you'll die! β
"Don't act like some bloody romance drama. Do you want Lao Tzu to let go now, and then regret it for the rest of your life? Tong Bi'an shook his head the most, "I won't let it go." You are the person I brought out of my willfulness, and I will definitely choose a suitable time to send you back to your parents safely. β
So you know. Gu Lan paused for a moment, and quickly shouted in a higher decibel tone: "I want to follow you myself!" They obeyed because they were afraid of Six Fingers and threw me into the wolf's den since I was a child! I never regret my decision! Quick, you let me go. Have you forgotten that I can control buoyancy? If you let go, I won't die! β
"I've known you for so long, don't I know how many pounds and taels you have?" Tong Bi'an suppressed himself not to shout because of the pain around him, and at the same time used the air flow to miss the most dangerous bullets as much as possible, "When you can't maintain your balance by yourself, or when your feet are completely empty, you can't use your ability normally at all, and if you are not careful, you will let yourself directly rise into the air at high speed like a rocket on the spot, or fall directly because of insufficient buoyancy...... Otherwise, at that time, why would it be my turn to save you? β
Seeing that there were more and more bleeding spots on Tong Bi'an's body, Gu Lan finally collapsed a little. She leaned back, trying to pull her hand out of the other's grip.
"I'm different from my weird dad, I'm a man who does what he says!" Tong Bi'an gasped with red eyes, and said intermittently, "I said I would take you away, and I would take you away; I said that I would let you live well, but I would definitely not watch you die in front of me! β
"Tong Bi'an!" Hearing that the six fingers not far away were discussing how to use an electric current that was not affected by the wind to defeat Tong Bi'an, Gu Lan was so anxious that he called out his name, and then suddenly showed a relieved expression.
"Thank you for really getting me out of there." Tears slowly covered her eyes, but Gu Lan couldn't spare her hand to wipe it one last time, "I originally thought that there was no hope for my life." β
"You've got a long lifeβah!" The pain of the electric shock caused Tong Bi'an to curl up physiologically, and his muscles instantly lost all their strength. He endured the pain and reopened his eyes, only to slam the ground with his bloodied hands and let out a hoarse roar at the empty spot in front of him.
Maybe as Tong Siyuan said, he is a terrible boss. In this world, people who are not strong enough are destined to cry bitterly for constant loss.
Just below what he couldn't see. Gu Lan, who was weak, was dragged into the house by Yuan Sui, and it took a long time to clean up the broken thin threads on his body.
"You guys are really bold, you dare two people to smash Huanglong?" Yuan Sui pursed his mouth, "But it's okay, it's because I know that you two have a simple thinking pattern, so I can guess that you will run to this top floor." After all, the commanding heights are close to my previous position, so the support is so timely. β
"I ...... I ...... "The rescue came too suddenly. Gu Lan hadn't slowed down yet.
"Okay, okay, let's think about what to do with the one above." Yuan Sui was too lazy to bother to comfort her, "Don't be busy thinking that you are lucky, after all, we still have to think about how to save the prisoners." β
