If the fishman who rode the moa and flew in front noticed the changes behind him at this time, there was still a chance to avoid the gaze of death, Su Lan had noticed during the test launch that if the target was a dead object, such as a balloon fluttering in the wind, then there would be almost no accident, but the life form with autonomous consciousness was different.

Aware that they may be in danger, living creatures that violently change their course of movement are not within the scope of the ability to measure. It's still the same sentence, as long as the gun is fired, then the laser bullet will definitely land somewhere; Once she pulls the trigger, the corresponding landing point is already predetermined, and if the target leaves the predetermined overlapping location due to some subjective factor, she can dodge the fatal blow.

She had never missed a shot before, but when the distance was extended to five kilometers, it seemed a little too long.

Su Lan was not surprised by this situation, after all, her ability was the Eye of God, and she could pick the coin that was bound to go upwards instead of applying glue underneath it, and if someone jerked away from the carpet at the bottom, or touched the coin with her finger, it would still fall.

This is exactly what the Mist Stealth Group is prepared for.

It's a pity that the fish-people are indifferent.

It can't be blamed for not being alert enough, even if it is just staying at an altitude of hundreds of meters, the whistling wind is difficult to talk to, not to mention that the dinosaur is still flying in the wind. This was tested repeatedly at the beginning of the development of the Shechert plan, and finally came to the conclusion that as long as the two were ten meters apart, the sound of the bullet penetrating the flesh could be completely masked by the wind noise.

This is also the reason why Su Lan prioritizes targeting the last fishman.

The large-caliber laser rays that burrowed into the moa's body completely destroyed its organs, and the diagonal side attack caused its stomach to burst open, not only causing its internal organs to leak, but also depriving it of the ability to scream.

The fish-men, who didn't notice the slightest abnormality, missed the only remaining chance to escape.

After a few breaths, a ray of rain from the sky shattered its chest, then broke the mount's spine.

The moa in the middle of the group finally sensed that something was wrong, but with its intelligence it could not comprehend what was happening in front of it, and instinctively it simply turned around and flew in the direction of the fish-man watchtower.

In Su Lan's eyes, this was no different from a dead thing.

She tossed a third erected coin.

……

In the evening, the Imperial Squad gathered in a hidden place.

According to the map drawn by the expedition team, the sniper team arrived safely at the bottom of a naturally collapsed stone cave in the rest base.

"There's also sun-dried superwheat here?" Su Lan said in surprise.

"I collected it!" Dean pulled out a few glass bottles from under a rock, "Even the spices for the barbecue!" ”

"You don't have these things hidden in every colony, do you?"

"Of course," said Huert smugly, "this is already rudimentary, and if you settle in a large hidden stronghold ten kilometers away, the food stored inside is probably enough to support a banquet!" ”

"A large hidden stronghold?" Momiji asked curiously, "Where is that?" ”

"A giant tree near the Qianjiang River, with a trunk as thick as a castle," said Dian Bi, "I asked Huert to build a roof on it, and to set up a drying ground for the uneaten jerky." ”

"I'm afraid that only His Majesty Huang Shang can tolerate you stealing his refined salt and spices," Lord Liuying rubbed his forehead, "These bottles alone are estimated to be worth several silver bullets, and if you put them in other territories, the lord must stew you." ”

Su Lan nodded sympathetically.

"I didn't steal it!" Dean protested, "All those spices were picked up from the ground!" ”

"Pick it up?" Liuying looked skeptical.

"The buckets of spices in the kitchen always leak out, I just collect them."

"Besides, we are not taking it for nothing," Dean added, "in the base, any Assassin can get a good reward for the enemies they kill, and I have assassinated many enemies for His Majesty." ”

"Actually, even if the kitchen is emptied, Your Majesty won't blame you," Huerter interjected weakly, "What's the point of collecting spices, I've seen Su Lan go to the kitchen six times a week and sweep away all the honey and dried fish that the chef has made." And not only the dried fish, but even the ...... in His Majesty's study"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn.

"What's in the room?"

Only then did Su Lan come back to his senses, "Ah no, it's nothing...... I'm just hungry, let's make a fire and cook! ”

Su Lan's timely words of firefighting also dispelled everyone's curiosity.

"Then again...... Do you really want to find out Sister Su Lan's secret? ”

So everyone put their doubts out of their minds and got busy.

The warbler lit the firewood with electric sparks, Amy cut the mushrooms with her hands and feet, and Su Lan and Momiji carried back a mutant wild boar, and in a short time, the enticing fragrance spread through the stone cave.

Although it is much less expensive than the base fort banquet, it is already a rare delicacy for the pancakes and dried meat strips that are commonly eaten in the wild.

Especially when Su Lan used the few fatty meat under the belly of the wild boar to fry the fat, and then sprinkled it on the half-charred mushroom meat slices and skewers, everyone couldn't help but drool.

In the end, the wild boar was eaten cleanly, and even the hooves were spared.

After filling their bellies, the crowd quickly fell asleep after a long day's journey, leaving only the most energetic Limiters and Assassins in charge of the vigil.

"I'll keep watch for the first half of the night," Su Lan filled two sticks of firewood into the fire, "I heard His Majesty Huang Shang say that although your ninja's sleep time is shorter, if you don't get enough rest, the impact will be much greater than that of ordinary people." ”

"If it's serious, it can even make this body lose control," Momiji admits calmly, "but it's still early, so it's okay to sleep later." ”

Su Lan nodded, she didn't speak anymore, she wasn't a person of many words, even in front of Huang Shang, she was more just listening and sharing.

All that remained in the cavern was the crackling of flames and the slight breathing of the overrunners.

"Their relationship is really good," Momiji muttered as she looked at the sleeping little girl beside her, "Even in the pre-wasteland era, I'm afraid I can't find such a close partner as them." ”

Su Lan followed the other party's gaze, and saw Dean lying on his back on a piece of animal skin, and on his stomach was a shrunken Qing Ling, whose white hair reached the ground was spread out in all directions, covering the two of them like a silk quilt, looking extremely warm.

The two have known each other for a short time, but because of their close age, they have become very intimate.

She couldn't help but smile, "This guy wasn't like this in the first place. Before being accepted by His Majesty Huang Shang, she almost regarded herself as a psychopath, and lived alone in a mental hospital for a long time, and almost lost the ability to speak. At that time, let alone being close to people, a random sound could make her panic. ”

"I just don't know if I can see this kind ......of intimacy again in the future," Su Lan lowered his eyelids, "I hope that after this war with extraterrestrial civilizations, something will change." ”

"Why do you say that?" Momiji raised her eyebrows and said, although she didn't want to ask too much, but this sentence still made her can't help but open her mouth, "Won't the common enemy unite everyone more closely?" ”

"That's true," Su Lan sighed, "but it will also gradually change the group of overlimiters, haven't you noticed that the power beyond ordinary people affects more than our abilities?" ”

"What else?" Su Lan asked in surprise.

"Every aspect...... So we have a longer lifespan, a healthier body, a stronger self-healing power, and a higher plasticity than mortals. Momiji said slowly, "And that includes our temperament." ”

"Temperament...... What is the meaning? ”

"If we aspire to use our strength to achieve a certain goal, the genes in our body will guide us in that direction, such as wanting to avenge a dead partner, wanting to kill a fishman at all costs, etc., and the hearts of the overbound will become more and more indifferent, or unforgiving." Momiji looked at the flickering firelight and said, "For the combatants, this can indeed make us stronger, but it will also gradually make us become something different......"

"What's that?"

"Inhuman."

Su Lan's heart couldn't help but tighten.

She thought of the self in the past who was desperate to kill xenos and monsters in the end. That time was indeed when she was at her strongest, and the killing intent surging in her heart gave her almost infinite strength, but aside from these, she had nothing, if she hadn't happened to meet Huang Shang, she would probably be no different from a beast.

"Of course not everyone will be like this, it's just a trend The pressure of the war makes most of the living people have no time to take care of anything else, even mortals who don't have supernatural talents will be driven crazy in the face of a hopeless long war, compared to them, we at least converted madness into power, which is already very good." Momiji continued, "So the series of events that happened at that time may seem difficult for you to understand, but at that time it was a matter of course. Without a very strong determination, it is impossible for what was once a small base to become a huge empire. ”

"......I see," Su Lan stretched out his hand to stir the fire, "If the war of civilizations continues, what will become of the overlimiters in the end?" ”

"No one knows the answer, maybe even the appearance will change," Momiji said lightly, "After all, outstanding beauty is still judged by people's perception, and if they are not even human in the end, they may become strange, such as being like a fishman." ”

The flames flickered, and silence temporarily enveloped the cave.

After a long while, the female ninja spoke again, "May I ask why you decided to fight the fishmen?" ”

Probably sensing Su Lan's hesitation, she took the initiative to say, "Our purpose is very simple, to defeat the fishmen, win the battle of civilizations, and revive the glory of the ninja line, if it weren't for this belief, the surviving ninjas would not be able to hold on to today." ”

"Do you want to rebuild the ninja?"

"Of course, that's where we dedicate our lives to it. However it will be more of a symbol, and the underground institutions under the rule of the Daimyo. If His Majesty Huang Shang can defeat the Fishmen, it will prove that he is on the right path than the Daimyo and the other leaders, and since the cooperation between the Transcendents and mortals can bring a broader prospect, there is no reason why we should not support it. ”

Su Lan was silent for a moment and then replied, "I just want to protect someone and help him fulfill his wishes. Since he wants to drive the fish-men off the earth, then I will fight on his behalf. ”

"Yes......" Momiji shook her head, "IMHO, that's not a good belief. ”

"Why?"

"Because the goals are too broad." "It's easy to lose yourself, especially in a life-or-death battle." It is difficult to define a person's wishes, not to mention, but more importantly...... Do you really know what he wants? ”

"Of course," Su Lan suddenly paused in the middle of speaking.

Would Huang Shang want her to fight the fish-people on the front line? The answer is clearly no, it's just her own decision. If the previous series of actions still had the need to go to danger for the other party, Su Lan did not need to participate in the sniper battle in person this time, but she still joined the team at the invitation of Huang Shang.

There is no doubt that there is a reason to win prestige and merit for the Han Science and Technology Empire, and the more important the weight of the overrun in the general base, the higher Huang Shang's status will naturally be.

But is that all?

She couldn't help but look at the overrun warriors who had already fallen asleep, their faces showing tiredness but calm and soft, and her gaze first expanded from Dean, Huerter and the others, and then slowly expanded to all her companions.

"Why are you telling me this?" Su Lan suddenly asked.

In any case, the relationship between Momiji and her had only been limited to occasionally learning swordsmanship and improving combat skills, and it was far from being very familiar, so it was a little strange to ask about this step. There is also the effect of talent on temperament, and the appeal of the ninja line...... She always felt that the other party didn't talk about it to everyone.

"Because you are a transcendent being," Momiji's tone also became solemn, "The natural pride of human beings has unimaginable potential. In the Wasteland Age, every combat type of transcendent is the focus of training, once you break through the limit and be promoted to the next generation of overlimiters, their strength can kill high-level fishmen head-on, and at the same time, they will become the best of the overlimiters. ”

After finishing speaking, she stood up and saluted Su Lan, "Maybe I'm not qualified to guide a female general on how to go further, but for any chief, a solid goal and a firm will are essential. The top ninjas are all promoted in battle, and those who fail to cross this hurdle all fall to the fishmen. She paused, "I want you to be the former." ”

By the end of the sentence, the female ninja from Toei had already used honorifics.

"You don't have to be so ......," Su Lan frowned.

"Just take it as nostalgia, it's been a long time since I've seen a female superlimiter with obsession and talent like you." Momiji smiled, "Don't worry, I won't take out this set of ancient etiquette in front of everyone." Then I'll go to bed first, and I'll see you in two hours. ”

"Ah, good night."

When there was no other sound in the cave, Su Lan raised his head and looked at the small piece of night sky exposed from the crack in the stone above his head, and he didn't move away for a long time.
