Chapter Eighty-Three: Ji Ya Zhun
"I'm sorry, because of work, I haven't been able to accompany you well."
An amusement park attraction located in the city, Xia Long looked at Lizi standing quietly in the cool breeze beside him, and his face showed a hint of apology.
After the giant xenobiotic incident ended, in the past few days on the phone with Riko, he repeatedly felt the hidden fragility in the girl's heart.
"Eun," Riko shook her head and smiled happily, "I'm happy today, thank you, Gumen." ”
"Really?" Xia Long looked at the girl's sweet smile, paused, and said, "If Lizi likes it, I will try to come over as often as possible in the future." ”
"No, work is important," Riko refused with a smile, "I'm glad that Gumen can accompany me occasionally, and it won't affect work!" ”
"Hmm." Xia Long took Riko and sat in front of a convenience store.
"By the way, Lonedoor, how is your work now?" Drinking Coke, Riko curious.
"That, it's okay, colleagues and superiors take care of me, except that the working hours are not fixed, and they are usually very free."
In response to Riko, Xia Long was thinking about his bad relationship with the vice captain.
Although Saijo Kaze's original thoughts were loosened several times, she still did not give up the idea that Nexus was a hazard, and even believed that Nexus attacked Xenobiotic for prey.
"Well, the lonely door should work hard!" Riko encouraged.
"I know." Xia Long smiled, "Actually, because of Lizi's amulet, I've been doing very well lately." ”
"Really?" Riko smiled sweetly in disbelief.
"Didi!"
At this time, Bereg, who was carried by Xia Long, suddenly sounded.
"I'm sorry," Xia Long replied apologetically to Riko, taking Bereg from his backpack and stepping aside, "I'm Lone. ”
"Lone door, I'm going to go out, quickly rush to coordinate 267 to assemble!" Kazukura's avatar appears on the screen.
"Understood!" With a tense face, Xia Long put away Bereg and turned to look at Riko who was wrenching her fingers on the wicker chair.
"That's, Riko......"
"Is it work?" Without waiting for Xia Long to be embarrassed, Lizi understood, "Go quickly, it's important to save people!" ”
"Hmm!" Nodding, Xia Long immediately ran to his car.
The mission was dispatched in broad daylight, and looking at the appearance of Captain Hekura, the matter was not small.
After taking one last look at Lizi, who was silently waving to him, Xia Long started the car and headed to the designated place.
……
Somewhere in a blockaded mountainous area, 3 night raider fighters disarming the stealth system appeared in mid-air.
"That's ......" Xia Long, who returned to the team, saw Nexus in battle at a glance, and the enemy was a strange giant creature in the shape of a cicada.
With huge claws and strong limbs, the morphological structure is much more complex than that of the last Xenomorph.
New Xenobiotics?
Looking at Nexus in the fierce battle below, Xia Long nodded slightly.
Compared to before, Nexus's strength has improved again, and there should be no problem in fighting.
"Some of the battle plans have changed," at this time, the voice of Yu Kirazawa in the headset came, "The Chester Beta and the Gamma are attacking the Xenobiotic as originally planned, the Chester Alpha, please attack the Ultra Warriors." ”
"What?" Xia Long frowned, almost thinking that he had misheard the order.
"Repeat, Chester Alpha, please attack the Ultra Warriors!" Kirazawa's flat voice came again.
"Understood! Attack Ultra Warriors now! Without waiting for Xia Long to question, Saijo Feng in the main driver's seat hurriedly responded.
"Vice-Captain!" Seeing Saijo Feng staring at Nexus in front of him, Xia Long's face changed slightly.
This sortie was because he was not at the base, and the Alpha was piloted by Saijo, and after the assembly, he was assigned to the passenger seat.
"If you attack Ultra Warriors......"
"Lone Goalkeeper!" A hint of displeasure flashed on Saijo's face, and he said coldly, "Please act according to the order!" ”
"Beta and Gamma turn 5 degrees to the right, and Alpha turn 45 degrees to the left to cut in, ready to attack!"
"Understood!"
With the roar of the engine, Hecang left Xia Long and directly gave the attack order, and the three fighters immediately changed their formation and cut into the battlefield and quickly attacked.
"Wait a minute!" Xia Long didn't have time to stop it, and watched as Saijo Wind poured ammunition at Nexus, "Vice Captain, please stop attacking!" ”
Looking at Nexus, who was looking at him uncomfortably under the attack, Xia Long clenched his teeth: "Enough, the Ultra warrior is our companion!" ”
"That's why you're attacking."
"What?"
Seeing that Nexus was unfortunately stabbed in the leg by the claws of the monster under the attack of the Alpha, the light particles gushed out like blood, and the painful sound made Xia Long turn his head sideways in reluctantly.
He can't understand attacking when he knows it's a companion!
"Ang!" Besieged by two warplanes, the Xenobiotic wounded Nexus, but failed to take advantage of the successful pursuit, and spread its wings in pain and fled.
"The xenobiotic has escaped!"
"The Beta and the Gamma go after the Xenobiot, and the Alpha continues to attack the Ultra Warriors!"
"Understood!"
Listening to the commands in the headset, Xia Long felt like an outsider, and could only watch feebly as Nexus endured the attack and fired rays at the monsters in the air.
"Do you want to keep fighting even so?" Xia Long's lips pursed slightly.
"Frightened!" After barely destroying the Xenobiotic wings, Nexus finally fell to his knees unable to bear the injury, and his form disappeared from the Night Raider's field of vision.
"The vibration wave of the Ultra warrior can still be detected nearby, the Chester Beta and the Gamma continue to search for the whereabouts of the Xenobiot, Chester Alpha, please land and track the source of the vibration wave." Kirazawa Yu continued to order.
"Understood!"
Waiting for Saijo to land the Alpha, Xia Long followed the fighter plane through the jungle.
Kira Sawayu said that when the vibration wave of the Ultra Warrior was detected, it should be the young man's body, and he didn't expect TLT's technology to be so powerful that it could even detect the existence of a human body.
Holding the Diwaite spear, Xia Long's mind fluctuated.
The change in the battle plan was originally to find out the human body, and it seems that Kirazawa Yu should have known the secret of Nexus for a long time.
"If you get caught by TLT......"
Xia Long's eyes were slightly condensed, and he had a faint feeling in his heart.
If Nexus's human body were really captured by TLT, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Following Saijo Feng, who was probing around, Xia Long asked in a deep voice, "Vice Captain, do you want to attack him?" ”
"It's nearby!"
Ignoring Xia Long, Saijo Feng watched the Beleg detection screen closely, and after confirming the direction, he ran forward without saying a word.
"Vice-Captain!"
Running out of the woods after Saijo Wind, Xia Long limped forward far away, the leather-clothed young man covered his thighs with his hands, full of blood.
Nexus's wounds were transferred to the human body.
"Stop!" Saijo Feng rushed behind the young man one step ahead of Xia Long, raised his pistol and said coldly, "Sure enough, it's you, it wasn't my hallucination a few times before!" ”
Seeing the young man holding the strange weapon in his hand and shooting light bullets into the sky, Saijo Kaze shot directly.
"Don't!"
In a hurry, Xia Long didn't have time to stop it, but after the gunshot, the young man was not hit, and an ice-blue barrier appeared in front of the young man to block the bullet.
"What's going on?" Saijo Feng watched this scene in surprise, and as soon as the words fell, the space suddenly fluctuated violently, and bursts of strong vibration waves surged, making her mind roar and she could barely move.
"What is this?" Enduring the discomfort and walking in front of Saijo Kaze, Xia Long saw a strange sarcophagus-like object falling from the sky with a vibration wave and landing in front of the young man.
"Wow!" As the youth turned into a group of light and merged into the sarcophagus. The vibrational wave suddenly stopped, and only the sarcophagus remained in place, floating calmly.
"Get out of the way!"
Saijo Fuze, who had recovered his strength, shouted angrily and raised his Diwait spear to bombard, but after the explosion, the sarcophagus remained untouched and did not destroy it at all.
"How is that possible?"
"It's useless!" Looking back at the startled Saijo Wind, Xia Long paused and walked to the sarcophagus.
It's not an ordinary thing, the aura and ruins are very similar.
Exhaling lightly, Xia Long raised his hand to touch the surface of the sarcophagus, and suddenly electricity surged along Xia Long's arm and spread throughout his body.
"Uhh
Under the strong light, Xia Long closed his eyes in pain, and a large amount of information poured into his mind, and at the same time, the phantom of the evolution instrument on his left arm blurred under the current.
"Accurate!"
Vaguely, Xia Long saw a rural battlefield, and the figure of a little girl in the bullet fire came into view.
"Quasi-——!"
"Bang!" After a while, the energy sprinted and bounced Xia Long away.
"Lone Goalkeeper! Lone Goalkeeper! ”
……
"Drip-drip-"
The characteristic sound of the ECG echoed in the room, and Xia Long slowly opened his eyes to find that he was lying on a hospital bed, as if he had returned to the base.
After being bounced open by the sarcophagus, he lost consciousness and only vaguely heard Saijo Kaze's shouts, not knowing what was happening behind him.
However, it should be that the youth are not caught.
Sitting up, Xia Long's face was complicated.
Through the sarcophagus, the memories and emotions of the youth's past all poured into his mind at once, and it was a heavy feeling.
unbearable regret, and hopeless loneliness......
"What happened in the past?" Thinking of the battlefield he faintly saw, Xia Long muttered.
After a moment of silence, Xia Long put on his uniform and left the ward and walked towards the war room.
"The lone goalkeeper was bounced off by the object's energy due to accidental contact with the object." When he walked outside the war room, Xia Long heard Saijo Feng's voice and couldn't help but stagnate.
It seems to be discussing the sarcophagus.
"Apart from this question, have you found any other lifeforms related to Ultra warriors?" Kazukura asked out loud.
"No," Saijo paused, concealing it, "and there is no trace of life!" ”
"Really?" After taking a deep look at Saijo, Kazukura continued, "I know, everyone remember to submit a report and disband!" ”
"Yes!"
Watching Shiori and Ishihori leave, a trace of doubt flashed in Xia Long's eyes.
Vice Captain Saijo would be kind enough to hide the situation of the youth.
"Wind," Kazukura called out to Saijo in the war room, and said casually, "You are an excellent TLT player, your right and left hand, I hope you will not live up to my expectations." ”
From Xia Long's position, the figures of the two could be seen clearly, and Kazukura's expression was very strange.
"It may be my delusion, but don't be the same as your ex," Kazukura reminded as he looked at Saijo, "I'm already worried about the situation in the lonely gate, are you going to worry me about it now?" ”
"I'm different from that man." Saijo replied with a salute and exited the war room.
"The man?" Looking at the back of Saijo Feng leaving, Xia Long muttered and set off to chase after Saijo.
From the moment he entered this world, he had a lot of doubts, why he came here after entering the ruins, why he became a lonely man, and why he entered the most important department of TLT as an ordinary person......
What's going on with TLT, what's going on with Xenobiotics, Nexus, that dark shadow in the shadows, Yuu Kirazawa...... The truth of everything is shrouded in fog, and now he has no way to know, so he can only find it step by step.
Above the Fortress of Liberty Dam, Xia Long walked out of the passage and saw Saijo Wind staring at the lake in a daze.
With a hint of weakness in his preoccupied appearance, he doesn't look like the vice-captain who usually has a cold face.
After a pause, Xia Long walked behind Saijo Feng: "Who is that man?" And what about the predecessor that the captain said? Also, why are you worried about me? I don't really understand. ”
"Don't understand?" After seeing Xia Long, Saijo Feng regained his composure, looked at the lake and said, "Don't be impulsive in the future, it will be a lot less trouble to act according to orders!" ”
"Even if it's the wrong command?" Natsuron walked over to Saijo.
"Do you mean the giant? If there is a mission, it will attack the giants," Saijo glanced at Natsu Ryudo, "Even if there is no order, I will not hesitate to shoot!" ”
"Why?"
"Because he's an alien beast!"
Facing the stubborn Saijo Wind, Xia Long faced the cold wind and asked, "Vice Captain, what do you think is a xenobiological beast?" ”
"Huh?" Saijo frowned.
"What is an xenobiotic beast," Xia Long stared into the distance, "When I touched that object, I felt it, that man's past, he was a person carrying a heavy past, such a person could not be an xenobiotic beast, he was an existence that had obtained the light and guarded this world." ”
"Are you sympathizing with him?" Saijo still has a straight face.
"I'm just telling the truth," Xia Long looked at Saijo tightly, "Vice Captain, do you still think he's preying?" Will Xenobiotic beasts fight to get injured and protect humans? ”
Saijo's face moved, turned his face sideways, and left, "If I were you, take care of ourselves first, and it's our job to act according to orders!" ”
Act as ordered......
"Vice Captain, this sentence is the one I have heard the most since I joined TLT." Looking at the figure of Saijo Wind disappearing at the entrance of the passage, Xia Long smiled bitterly and stopped thinking about it.
The cold vice-captain also seems to have an unknown past, not as odious as it seems.
There is another mystery, but then again, there are so many things in this world that he doesn't understand, and some things are not clear and nothing, as long as he knows what he should do, it is enough.
The most important thing now is to figure out the secrets of the ruins.
Back in the dormitory, Xia Long turned on the computer and tried to search for information.
He believed that those battlefield footage seen through the sarcophagus should have clues.
"It's this!"
After searching for a lot of information, Xia Long finally came across a familiar picture in a newspaper from a long time ago.
It is a report about the battlefield in Vietnam, and the simple girl who keeps calling for "quasi" in her memory is in the middle of the photo, and her petite and weak figure walks in the chaos of war.
Xia Long looked at the bottom of the picture, and the photographer's information was indicated in the lower right corner.
"Is Ji Ya accurate?"
