Chapter 18: Honkai II: Me and Freedom (No. 18) 4
"I don't know. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info" Strawberry's tone was still cold, and Ye Zifeng felt that he would not have any results if he continued to ask. Strawberry completely ignored Ye Zifeng and poured a full cup of hot tea into the teacup in front of him.
Ye Zifeng felt a little embarrassed, so he didn't want to stay here longer, and walked towards the outside of Tianfu Tower, Ye Zifeng turned his head and waved his hand at the strawberry.
"Goodbye."
"Hmm."
Strawberry took a shallow sip of the clear liquid in the teacup and nodded gently.
It really gives people the feeling that they want to get close but it's hard to get close.
Ye Zifeng kept thinking about the girl Strawberry in his heart. is obviously very cold to people, but Ye Zifeng can always feel that this is just an illusion on the outside, but in fact, Strawberry is still a very enthusiastic person in his heart. But what does it mean to be disgusted with the Admiralty? This may have something to do with Strawberry's hiding of its true self.
Ye Zifeng shook his head and threw the cranky thoughts out of his mind.
For some reason, there was no sign of the Defense Department soldier in the staircase leading from the thirty-ninth floor to the fortieth floor. This saved Ye Zifeng a lot of things, holding the pistol and coming directly to the fortieth floor, Ye Zifeng first checked the situation in the corridor on the fortieth floor, and then dodged in.
The Hilton Window was on the other side of the room where Ye Zifeng lived, basically at both ends of the fortieth floor, so Ye Zifeng didn't pass through his room when he went to the Hilton Window.
That's fine, I can hear a slight shouting in the corridor, and a thick layer of carpet is spread on the ground, so that when someone walks in the corridor, it won't disturb the guests who are resting in the guest room, but this design is also Ye Zifeng can't judge whether anyone is approaching him from the sound of footsteps.
Ye Zifeng leaned around the corner, and looked into a horizontal corridor, at the end of the corridor was the Hilton window, two guards guarded in front of the door of the conference room, there was only one way to enter the conference room, there was no dead end at all, that is to say, if you wanted to enter the conference room, you only had to kill these two guards first.
Ye Zifeng frowned, to be honest, if he didn't have to fight, Ye Zifeng would try to avoid fighting, he was not the kind of person who had nothing to do, so he hated the current situation the most, and he had to fight.
"I can't help it." Ye Zifeng sighed, gently pulled the sleeve of the pistol, and a bullet slid into the chamber. However, before Ye Zifeng could dodge out of the corner and shoot at the two guards, a shout came from behind.
"What people!"
Ye Zifeng's whole body immediately tensed, and he was not willing to delay at all, almost subconsciously turned around and looked behind him, a team of heavily armed guards happened to pass by, and Ye Zifeng's whereabouts were exposed.
Without thinking about it, Ye Zifeng took advantage of the reaction of the two guards at the door of the conference room, and immediately jumped to the center of the corridor leading to the meeting, a short distance of five or six meters did not need to aim at all for Ye Zifeng, and quickly pulled the trigger, and the two bullets opened a hole in each of the two guards, and the guard fell down softly without even holding up the gun. The guards behind him saw Ye Zifeng shooting, and immediately fired back, but Ye Zifeng had already taken a step ahead of time to hide in the horizontal corridor leading to the conference room, dense bullets drew orange-yellow light from outside the corner, and a few bullets hit the wall at the corner Cement debris flew, the originally exquisite wallpaper was hit by bullets and exploded from the wall, Ye Zifeng shrank his head tightly, not daring to look back.
It may be that the captain of the patrol team feels that the suppressive shooting has achieved the desired effect, or maybe the patrol team is changing the magazine, and the gunfire has stopped for a while, and Ye Zifeng breathes a sigh of relief.
Can't drag it out like this, they will call for reinforcements, Ye Zifeng weighed the pros and cons of both sides in his heart, ran to the right, and kicked open the door of the conference room.
Several bullets hit Ye Zifeng's face, Ye Zifeng immediately tilted his head, and the bullet flew past Ye Zifeng's ears, the high temperature slightly burned the skin of Ye Zifeng's ears, and the stinging pain came, but Ye Zifeng didn't feel it, when people are highly nervous, people will discover their potential.
The body jumped to the side, Ye Zifeng half-knelt on the ground, the air-breaking pistol pulled the trigger at a thunderous speed, and the two bodyguards in dark gray suits were shot and fell to the ground backwards. The high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Defense were hiding under the conference table, Ye Zifeng looked at the content displayed on the floor-to-ceiling window, no wonder the people of the Ministry of Defense were so interested, and the plan of action for the next year of the Admiralty was all displayed in the text.
Ye Zifeng shook his hand, and a bullet shattered the floor-to-ceiling observation window.
"Come out, you have nowhere to hide." Ye Zifeng looked at the high-ranking officials of the Defense Department who were hiding under the table, and raised their hands in front of Ye Zifeng.
"That is Ao ......" dropped the chain at the critical time, Ye Zifeng always used Ao or something, and when it was time to use it, Ye Zifeng suddenly didn't get up first, sorted out the wording, and Ye Zifeng said again, "That is Colonel Burke?" β
"I am." O'sullivan. Colonel Burke stepped out of the crowd. He is about 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a dark green logo military uniform, and his right chest is full of rank seniority badges.
"I'm sorry, but I'm on a mission." Ye Zifeng raised his pistol and aimed at O'Sullivan. Colonel Burke.
"Are you trying to kill me?" A strange smile appeared at the corner of the colonel's mouth, as if it was specially for Ye Zifeng. Ye Zifeng immediately became alert and did not shoot rashly.
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Zifeng frowned and looked at the colonel, not knowing what the colonel was thinking in his heart. Is it trying to stall for time? But there will be people coming without delay, a large number of guards have surrounded this conference room, and Ye Zifeng has no way to escape.
"Why, it's just really watching the clown's performance." The Colonel's tone was relaxed, and it was completely unclear that he was being threatened with a gun. However, the serious expression on his face turned into contempt, the colonel raised his head slightly, and pointed his chin at Ye Zifeng, "Do you think you can really kill me?" β
"You are not a god, what can't be killed." Ye Zifeng retorted coldly, and took two steps forward at the same time.
"Oh, I'm sorry I asked the wrong question." The expression on the colonel's face became even more contemptuous, and there was deep disdain in his eyes, "What I want to ask is, do you dare to kill me?" β
Ye Zifeng suddenly thought of something, as if to cater to Ye Zifeng's conjecture, the colonel sneered and took a step aside, and two junior officers of the defense department walked out with a figure. Ye Zifeng gasped, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand lowered.
"Alice......" Ye Zifeng looked at Alice in a daze.
Alice's eyes were closed and her brow furrowed slightly, as if she were having a nightmare. Grizzled, with a somewhat messy hair and dust on his face. The uniform on his body was torn, and there were traces of blood flowing on his white arms that were exposed outside his sleeves.
The colonel didn't let go of this gap, and quickly pulled out his gun and shook his hand is a shot, the bullet hit Ye Zifeng's right leg, Ye Zifeng instantly lost his balance and knelt down heavily.
Hulahula's footsteps sounded from outside the door, and a large number of soldiers from the defense department poured in to drain the water surrounding Ye Zifeng. The senior officers in the conference room walked out of the conference room one by one under the escort of the soldiers, and finally only O'Sullivan was left. Colonel Burke's two soldiers, Alice, who fainted, and Ye Zifeng, whose eyes were full of anger.
"How? Do you still want to kill me? Mr. Assassin? The colonel smiled and pulled a chair from the side and sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at Ye Zifeng with contempt on his face.
"Who do you think I am!" Ye Zifeng shouted, and his left leg, which was not injured, slammed into the colonel. Colonel Burke obviously didn't expect Ye Zifeng to have the strength to fight back, so in a hurry, he had to lean back and raise his arms in front of him.
Seeing this, the soldier behind him immediately ran forward, kicked Ye Zifeng's chest, and coughed up a mouthful of blood, Ye Zifeng flew backwards and slammed into the wall behind him.
The colonel's eyes were full of hatred, and he stared at Ye Zifeng's eyes as if he could kill people. Sitting up straight and straightening his clothes, the headmaster let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay, the farce is over, let's see who you really are?" Colonel Burke waved his hand, and a soldier stepped forward and grabbed the corner scarf that Ye Zifeng covered his face, but the soldier who was about to tear off the corner scarf just now stiffened before he could exert his strength, and then fell to the side. Ye Zifeng saw a beam of white light piercing the back of the soldier's heart with precision.
"What's going on!" The colonel shouted, immediately got up from his seat and turned around. The soldier ran to the window and looked out, but a second white light pierced his body, and blood burst through the back of the soldier's heart, and the bulletproof vest did not resist the powerful impact of the bullet.
The colonel figured something out, and immediately turned around and hooked Ye Zifeng's neck, pulling Ye Zifeng up from the ground and blocking his chest. He walked to the window and shouted out of the window.
"I don't know who you are, but if you don't want this kid to live, you can shoot at such a distance that a bullet can penetrate him and enter my body!"
"Hey, didn't that kid succeed?" Archer lay in a room, looked at Ye Zifeng and the colonel in the scope, and immediately asked Xia Lu.
"But Alice failed." Xia Lu nervously looked at the video uploaded from a helicopter.
"Little girl failed?" Archer seemed to hear the news that the President of the United States and Hippo were jumping in the White House office, and was immediately stunned, "What you said is true?" β
"Is it interesting to lie to you?" Xia Lu said angrily, "Now we can only rely on you, we don't have the manpower to go to the rescue." β
"But it's so far away." Archer hesitated. The bullet was loaded, but Archer didn't pull the trigger for a long time.
"What do you say! I didn't forget, but you knocked out the bullets I fired! Xia Lu immediately retorted.
"Well, it's just luck......"
"One is good luck, five in a row, how do you explain it?" Xia Lu asked unceremoniously.
"This ......," Archer sighed, "well, all I can say is I'll try." β
"It's going to work." It seems that Xia Lu has a lot of confidence in Archer.
"Looks like you're important, boy." The colonel smiled coldly, "They are reluctant to let you die." β
Ye Zifeng kept tapping the colonel's right chest with his hand, but his hand always hit the rank seniority card held on the colonel's chest. Ye Zifeng felt that it was awkward and incongruous that he didn't know something, but Ye Zifeng couldn't think of it. The colonel's body was very strong, and Ye Zifeng's elbow blow was like an itch from a boot.
"Weak struggle." The Colonel shook his head, and shouted out the window, "Listen, on the other side, if you want this kid and that little girl to live, shoot me in the air and let me see where you are." β
The gunshots were not heard, and the colonel snorted.
"What a coward."
Before he could finish speaking, a gunshot rang out, followed by a bullet that struck the colonel in the left shoulder. The upper line body slammed to the side, hooked Ye Zifeng's right arm and subconsciously let go, Ye Zifeng's body fell, this is what Ye Zifeng thought of.
- Shouldn't the level credential card be hung on the left chest? And this material ......
Ye Zifeng thought of something, but his foot interrupted Ye Zifeng's train of thought.
"Huh?" Ye Zifeng was stunned for a moment, his body instantly lost his balance, and he fell out of the broken floor-to-ceiling observation window.
"Ahh Ye Zifeng let out a miserable scream, waving his arms wildly, and the corner of his eyes glanced to this side, Ye Zifeng saw a searchlight hanging on the outer wall, and a metal bracket that could be stepped on, which was originally intended to be used to fix the body by the cleaners who wiped the outer glass wall, but he didn't expect it to become Ye Zifeng's lifesaver at this time.
Trying his best to turn his body sideways, Ye Zifeng quickly stretched out his hands and grabbed the bracket before he missed it, and his body hung outside the hotel.
"Damn it!" The colonel shouted, his right hand on his left shoulder, while his left hand trembled as he held his rifle.
"Goodbye, little ghost!" The colonel aimed the gun at Ye Zifeng, but another backlight pierced the colonel's body, this time the landing point was the left chest, the blood burst out, and the colonel's body leaned back.
At the moment when the bullet hit the colonel's left chest, Ye Zifeng suddenly understood the previous sense of incongruity and the second hint that Strawberry said.
"Common sense is the opposite of reality, and there are also level seniority cards made of special metals. Could it be ......" Ye Zifeng saw the colonel's gun fall from the top of his head. With a free hand, he caught the pistol slightly, and Ye Zifeng showed a smug smile.
"You bastard!" The major did not die immediately, which also confirmed Ye Zifeng's guess.
"Die, you pervert." Ye Zifeng said calmly to the colonel who poked his head out of the window, and aimed the colonel's gun at the colonel's eyebrows.
O'sullivan. Colonel Burke's eyes widened, his pupils constricted. The orange firelight took over his vision.
Blood dripped from the top of his head, Ye Zifeng shook off the colonel's matching gun, grabbed the stand with both hands again, and tried to climb up, but unfortunately, there was no second stand that could be used as a handle. Ye Zifeng shook his head helplessly, his body trembling slightly. The right leg is still bleeding, the strength is like the air in a leaky balloon, the scene in front of Ye Zifeng began to blur, although the strong will to survive supported Ye Zifeng did not let go, but it has not been power, or not actual power, and it has been strong and has not been able to practice the ability is tantamount to a daydream.
- No, I can't.
Ye Zifeng's hands began to slip, if it was normal, Ye Zifeng would be able to crawl back into the room in a few seconds with this strength.
ββIs it coming to an end? Unwilling to ......
The figure suddenly flashed in front of Ye Zifeng's eyes, and the surrounding scenery was still blurry, but only this flashing figure was extremely clear.
"Why, why did you think of ......"
Ye Zifeng murmured softly, his strength finally disappeared, and Ye Zifeng let go of the stand with both hands.
Another pair of hands appeared, and then a strong force pulled Ye Zifeng back from outside the building. Falling heavily on the ground was uncomfortable, but it was also better than the previous free fall.
"I'll just say you'll be disappointed." The voice of the strawberry was still cold, but at this time, Ye Zifeng stopped in his ears as if it was a virgin and warm.
"I owe you one more time." Ye Zifeng said weakly, and then his eyes closed heavily.
......
Opening his eyes again, Ye Zifeng found that he had left the Hilton Hotel. Beneath him was a silky and white bed, although the smell of disinfectant in the air made Ye Zifeng a little sick to his stomach, but it was much better than the smell of blood.
The instrument on the side was dripping, and Ye Zifeng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I'm hospitalized again."
"Who's to say no, you should pay attention to your body." The automatic door slid open, and a figure walked in, listening to the voice, Ye Zifeng could easily distinguish that this was Xia Lu, but the footsteps told Ye Zifeng that there was not only one person here. Xia Lu is in the villa, and the doctor in the villa is only ......
Ye Zifeng easily came up with the answer.
"Doctor Toyama, I'm in trouble with you."
"I'm used to it." Toyama Genji walked to Ye Zifeng's bedside, looked at the numbers displayed together, and said angrily, "Every time you don't listen to my advice, you come back with an injury." Do you know that you have lost too little blood, a full 1500cc, and your whole body is almost deflated. β
"Uh......" Ye Zifeng was a little afraid to compliment this metaphor.
"The doctor is right, Zifeng should not be so desperate in the future." Xia Lu stood beside Ye Zifeng's bed, looking at Ye Zifeng worriedly.
"Even you say that......" Ye Zifeng turned his head, as if he was making an awkward fuss.
"But it's a fact, every time you try so hard, you almost die."
"This time it's a special situation, they captured Alice!" Ye Zifeng said a little excitedly, wanting to get up from the bed, but Toyama Xuanji, who was quick-eyed, pressed Ye Zifeng.
"You'd better be honest, or I'll give you a tranquilizer."
A naked threat, but it works. Ye Zifeng sighed and honestly lay back on the bed.
"......" Xia Lu's expression was a little complicated, and she shook her lips and wanted to stop talking. After all, Xia Lu didn't say what she wanted to say.
"Take care of your illness, Saber told me to inform you, it's better not to participate in tomorrow's operation." Xia Lu said quickly, "Goodbye." β
Without giving Ye Zifeng a chance to speak, Xia Lu turned her head and left the ward. Genji Toyama on the side didn't stop him, but just let out a long sigh.
Ye Zifeng was stunned as Xia Lu's back disappeared at the door of the ward, he suddenly felt a moist feeling on his face, raised his hand and dipped it gently, and the crystal liquid appeared on his fingertips. Ye Zifeng has been used for a long time, and it is slightly bitter.
"The little girl is heartbroken for you, do you know how anxious he is when he hears that you are injured?" Toyama Genji said as if talking to himself, Ye Zifeng knew that this was for himself, "But you have been thinking about the girl named Alice, although you don't know too much about your situation, but this is too ruthless." All said...... It's indestructible, but it's as if you've never had one. β
"What?" Ye Zifeng didn't hear clearly for a while.
"It's nothing, don't take it to heart." Toyama Genji shook his head, "Everything is normal in the body, but there is a little blood loss, just cultivate quietly, Saber is right, you still don't want to participate in tomorrow's action." β
"This is not good, today's injury is for tomorrow, if I don't go tomorrow, won't this blood be shed in vain."
"I don't know what you think, I don't care what you are, and it has nothing to do with me if you insist on going on a mission and dying outside." Toyama Genji's expression looked a little serious at this time, even a little terrifying, "But as a doctor, I solemnly remind you not to participate in the operation, even if you can't succeed without you." β
"......" Ye Zifeng didn't continue, and Toyama Genji's words made Ye Zifeng ponder. I can't succeed without me, why? Did he come up with this on his own, or did someone say it to him? If someone said it to him, who would it be? The tone is familiar.
"It seems that you have a pretty high opinion of him." Saber stood in front of the window looking at the night view of Shanghai, holding a coffee in one hand and answering the phone in the other.
"I've been judging him for a long time, but you don't know."
"That's a mystery." Saber smiled slightly, "Let me hear it, what did you think of him at the beginning?" β
"King."
"King?"
"It's the king." The person on the other side said firmly, "I am not mistaken, he is the king, the king who can crush God and destiny to pieces." β
"Pretty high." Saber took a sip of coffee and smiled.
"But the evaluation is not king now."
"Downgraded?"
"On the contrary, he has someone else who calls him quite appropriate."
"What's it called?"
"Emperor."
