Chapter 18: Honkai II: Me and Freedom (No. 18) 3

"What the result. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The energy barrier is gone, and it looks like the experiment they're going to be doing at the Hilton Hotel can be terminated." Xia Lu looked at the blue mathematical model that disappeared on the screen like ice and snow melting, and said quickly.

"I see, it seems that the effort has not been in vain." Ye Zifeng nodded, then turned his head to look at the strawberry on the side, "Tell me, what are you going to do in the Hilton Hotel, poison gas experiment?" ”

"Gas test? What are you talking about? Strawberry glared at Ye Zifeng angrily, "Who told you that energy is only one-way!" ”

Strawberry seemed to have known that Ye Zifeng had mastered the matter about the energy barrier, so he didn't mention it repeatedly. However, these words really made Ye Zifeng stunned. Energy is not unidirectional? What does that mean? Could it be ......

"Defense, an attack from the outside?" Ye Zifeng looked at the strawberry in a daze, a little dry and speechless.

"Uh-huh, you guessed it." Strawberry pointed, and then knocked heavily on Ye Zifeng's head, "It's okay now, we can't escape." ”

"What attack is this energy barrier trying to defend against?" Ye Zifeng asked hurriedly, and at the same time leaned on the viewing window of the elevator and looked out. At this time, the elevator has traveled to the 28th floor, about 80 meters from the ground, which is a very high distance. Ye Zifeng's eyes widened and he looked down, but he didn't find any long-range offensive weapons such as missiles and rockets.

"Don't look, it won't appear." Strawberry said angrily, she seemed to see through what Ye Zifeng was thinking, "The energy barrier is not a poisonous gas or a microbial virus, I said before, this thing can help human beings to resist the oppression of pilgrims." ”

"Free from the oppression of pilgrims?" Ye Zifeng lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head, with a look of sudden realization on his face, "What do you mean......"

Without waiting for Ye Zifeng to finish speaking, Strawberry nodded heavily.

"You understand pretty quickly, that's right, the energy barrier command cancels out the attack of plasma energy, and other than that, there is no defense against any kind of attack."

"Ho." Ye Zifeng gasped, "Are you a genius?" ”

"I love to hear that." Strawberry nodded.

"Have you seen the list of all the weapons of the Pilgrims?" Ye Zifeng asked again.

"No ......"

It seemed to poke the strawberry's sore spot, and she slowly lowered her head.

"Well, it's nice to be like this." Ye Zifeng exclaimed, I don't know why, Ye Zifeng suddenly felt a faint pain in his heart, and blurted out a sentence almost subconsciously, "If the Admiralty had a genius like you before the earth was invaded by pilgrims, maybe the battle situation would not have become so disadvantaged." ”

Strawberry didn't answer, and both of them fell silent in the elevator.

But a gunshot broke the silence, and then shards of glass fell from the side of the elevator.

"First shot!" Ye Zifeng immediately leaned on the viewing window, trying to twist his face to see what was happening in the corridor on the thirty-eighth floor, but because of the angle, Ye Zifeng did not succeed.

"Alice." Ye Zifeng gave up watching with his own eyes, and immediately took out his mobile phone to dial Alice's number, "Pick it up, pick it up." ”

Ye Zifeng urged into the phone that kept making a clear busy tone, even if he knew that Alice would not hear this anxious urging.

"Emperor." Alice's voice finally appeared, and Ye Zifeng sighed, but Alice's voice sounded strange, as if she was slightly weak, at least she didn't have the same vitality as before.

"What's wrong with you, did the sniping work out?"

Alice stood on the edge of the rooftop, the blades of the helicopter slicing through the air with a loud whining sound, dozens of Defense soldiers pouring out of the door behind her, each with their assault rifles aimed at Alice's vital point.

"Emperor." Alice choked up, "I missed." ”

Ye Zifeng hurriedly raised his head and looked into the distance opposite, where the two-stage helicopter gunship was hovering over a building, and a large number of black armored vehicles surrounded the streets around the building.

"How could it be ......" Ye Zifeng was shocked, the mobile phone in his hand slipped and fell to the ground, fortunately, the shell of the mobile phone was hard, and the mobile phone was not broken.

"Looks like it failed." Strawberry walked up to Ye Zifeng's side and said in a deep voice, "But it's not that there is no chance, but you have to make a choice." ”

"Choose?" Ye Zifeng looked at the strawberry.

"Two choices. The first. Strawberry cocked up her index finger, "Rescue your companions, I can help you." ”

"The second." Strawberry gave a thumbs up, "Kill O'Sullivan. Colonel Burke, I can help you. ”

"......" Ye Zifeng lowered his head with wide eyes, a fierce struggle in his heart, and the sweat on his forehead slid down his sideburns.

"You have to hurry up and choose and give me an answer before the elevator arrives."

"I choose ......" Ye Zifeng almost squeezed these two words out between his teeth, "I choose the third option, I want to rescue Alice again, and I also want to kill that damn Colonel Burke!" ”

Ye Zifeng chose this option that could not be selected.

Strawberry fixed his eyes on Ye Zifeng, his eyes were deep, and his dark pupils seemed to be peeking into Ye Zifeng's heart.

"I'm just so greedy, since I can do a single choice, then I'll just want both." Ye Zifeng said fiercely, and there was a slight red streak in his white eyeballs.

"It's fine, since it's your choice." Strawberry waved his hand and clicked the button on the thirty-ninth floor, and the next second the elevator stopped with a clang, "I won't stop you, and I won't tell you, but I want to remind you." ”

The elevator doors slide open, and Strawberry exits the elevator.

"Your record of success is as if a person could survive in a vacuum for more than an hour without any protection." The implication is that you can't succeed, but with such a long metaphor, Ye Zifeng didn't interject.

"Here's for you." Strawberry threw a cloth bag in before the elevator door closed, and Ye Zifeng reached out to catch it, "Make good use of it." ”

The voice fell, and the elevator door closed.

Ye Zifeng spread out the cloth bag in his hand, there was no package in it, it seemed that the content was the package itself. Ye Zifeng grabbed the two corners and lifted the cloth bag to his eyes, in exchange for a corner scarf, Ye Zifeng understood and wrapped the corner scarf around his face. A sweet and sour aroma of strawberries inhaled into Ye Zifeng's nasal cavity, which made Ye Zifeng couldn't help but take a deep breath again.

The elevator door slid open again, and Ye Zifeng walked out of the elevator. There are still no people in the corridors, and the top floor is full of high-end suites, and there may not be many tourists staying here.

Ye Zifeng discerned the direction and returned to his room, the door was unlocked, and Ye Zifeng pushed the door in. The room was empty, but Alice was still on the bed with her clothes she had changed. Ye Zifeng couldn't help but be a little angry, walked quickly to the bed, and opened the curtains that covered the floor-to-ceiling windows. The afternoon sun did not shine in, but instead it was a huge black man-made object, and the blades that cut the air made a loud whining sound, and Ye Zifeng saw a cruel smile on the corner of the driver's mouth.

Immediately turned around and ran back, Ye Zifeng jumped over the wide double bed, and the pilot of the gunship also pulled the trigger for firing, and the 75mm cannon under the cockpit began to rotate, and less than a second later, the tongue of fire up to half a meter long began to spew, and in just an instant, the metal flow smashed the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the high-class rooms with quite luxurious furniture were immediately hit beyond recognition by the cannon bullets.

Ye Zifeng huddled tightly on the side of the double bed, dodging the whistling machine gun bullets.

"What's going on!" Ye Zifeng hugged his head tightly and shouted. It seems that the driver has no intention of stopping shooting, but Ye Zifeng can't accompany the driver to keep making trouble like this, and he has to find a way to escape from this room.

After fumbling twice in the satchel, Ye Zifeng took out a silver long tube.

Ye Zifeng hadn't seen this thing, but he could basically know what it was used for, and it was printed in English with red letters.

β€œWARNING。”

Looking at the shape of the long silver tube, one side is a lid that can be opened, and the other side has a device that looks like a trigger. Ye Zifeng opened the lid and stretched the silver long tube out of the bed without aiming.

Originally, I thought it was a smoke grenade or a tear gas launcher or something, even if a grenade launcher could fire a high-explosive grenade, Ye Zifeng would not be surprised, but after pulling the trigger, Ye Zifeng found that he was wrong. One day, a red ray of light shot out of the long tube, and then the long tube vibrated steadily, and a white light followed the red light and instantly penetrated the helicopter gunship at lightning speed. Cannon fire came to an abrupt halt.

Ye Zifeng stood up from the edge of the bed, looked at the silver long tube in his hand, and then stuffed the long tube back into his satchel.

Walking to the window, the helicopter gunship was still suspended outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and the violent air convection blew Ye Zifeng's long black hair flying wildly. Ye Zifeng looked at the driver's expression, a little distorted, his eyes were round, and his mouth opened and closed as if he was saying something, but before Ye Zifeng could see what the pilot represented, the armed helicopter suddenly exploded, and the wind knocked Ye Zifeng to the ground, and before Ye Zifeng got up, a broken propeller grazed the tip of Ye Zifeng's nose and flew quickly, and it pierced into the wall above Ye Zifeng's head. Ye Zifeng didn't dare to move, and slowly looked at the propeller that was stuck in the wall, his eyes full of fear.

The black smoke gradually dissipated, Ye Zifeng slowly got up, and cautiously walked to the window, the black helicopter gunship had long since disappeared, and the probe looked down, the wreckage of the helicopter crushed several armored cars into discus.

"Huhu~" Ye Zifeng patted his chest and let out a long breath. Ye Zifeng suddenly recalled the parable of the strawberry, it seems that what she said is not wrong, and her record of success in this operation is almost zero.

But as long as it's not zero, it's possible. Ye Zifeng thought firmly in his heart, turned around and walked out of the room, O'Sullivan. Colonel Burke was still waiting for Ye Zifeng.

The thirty-eighth floor was completely blocked, and the elevator could not stop at the height of the thirty-eighth floor, Ye Zifeng did not expect this, so he was taken by the elevator to the thirty-seventh floor, which is a Chinese restaurant, although there are also guest rooms. The situation here is not different from the 40th floor, because of the lockdown, there are no guests on the 37th floor.

Ye Zifeng walked quickly in the corridor with my pistol, and there was an escape staircase not far ahead, no matter what, the escape route would not be blocked.

When the footsteps came, Ye Zifeng immediately became vigilant, and quickly got to the wall on the side, and at the same time, the pistol in his hand was aimed at the escape route. The footsteps grew louder and louder, mixed with the sound of people talking.

"Huh? Don't you know? "The Colonel seems to have passed through the thirty-eighth floor just to take in the view, but he had been warned that it would be too dangerous. ”

"That's right, even though the Hilton Window can also see a better view." Another said.

"It should be a provocation, and sure enough, someone came to assassinate him." The third man continued, "I heard that a little girl was caught." ”

Ye Zifeng gritted his teeth, but at the same time he thought about it.

-- The Hilton Window is a conference room on the 40th floor, and since you have a meeting there, there is no need to stay on the 37th floor, you have to go back quickly.

Ye Zifeng turned around and ran back to the elevator, waiting for the elevator. The elevator door opened, but Ye Zifeng helplessly found that the elevator to the fortieth floor was also blocked at some point, and now the closest to the fortieth floor is the road to the thirty-ninth floor, otherwise it doesn't matter if you take the stairs.

――Let's get closer, get closer.

Ye Zifeng thought about it while clicking the button on the thirty-ninth floor.

――Strawberries seem to be on this floor.

Ye Zifeng leaned against the viewing window and watched the numbers on the digital plate keep changing, and after a while, the elevator stopped on the thirty-ninth floor.

The elevator door opened, and Ye Zifeng flashed out.

This floor is also a Chinese restaurant, called Tianfu Tower. Ye Zifeng had never been here, so he couldn't help but admire when he saw the interior decoration of Tianfu Tower so exquisitely.

"Are you from the mountains?"

A voice came from behind him, Ye Zifeng was startled, but listening to the tone, Ye Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing here?" The strawberry walked around in front of Ye Zifeng and looked at Ye Zifeng coldly.

"Knowingly, I'm here to kill Colonel Burke." Ye Zifeng looked left and right.

"Isn't it on the thirty-eighth floor?" Strawberry asked coldly.

"Don't pretend to be stupid, since you've been in contact with him, you should naturally know that he's meeting on the fortieth floor." Ye Zifeng said, "It's you, what are you doing here?" ”

"Eat." Strawberry turned around and pointed to the various dishes on a round table by the window.

"You're still in the mood to eat at this time." Ye Zifeng turned his face away and said with some dissatisfaction.

"What's the matter with you?" Strawberry glared at Ye Zifeng, "Let's eat together, only when you are full will you have the strength to fight." ”

"I was almost killed by a helicopter!" Ye Zifeng complained as he followed behind Strawberry.

"I don't know, even if I know it has anything to do with me." Strawberry didn't even look back this time, but walked straight to the table and sat down, tied the napkin to the neckline, and picked up a bowl of steaming rice with white flowers.

"Who the hell are you?" Ye Zifeng sat opposite the strawberry with a serious expression.

"Strawberries." Strawberry said nonchalantly, and then really started to eat it.

"Don't be so indifferent!" Ye Zifeng is in the mood to eat at all, this girl who calls herself a strawberry gives Ye Zifeng a strange feeling.

"I don't care, my friends call me Strawberry." The girl chewed and swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking.

"It's a random name." Ye Zifeng shook his head helplessly, "In this case, you can still eat here in a good way, you are definitely not simple." ”

"I never said I was simple." Strawberry said.

"I don't even know if you're friend or foe now, how can I trust you."

"What's on your face?"

"Horn scarf." Ye Zifeng pulled the scarf off his face and hung it around his neck.

"Let's eat, and act after eating."

"Hey, don't change the subject!" Ye Zifeng shouted dissatisfiedly, but the feeling of emptiness hit, and Ye Zifeng looked at the dishes on the table and swallowed.

"Love to eat or not." Strawberry took away a plate of steamed lobster with leaf maple noodles and ate it very ladylikely.

"Okay, okay, I'll eat." Ye Zifeng nodded, picked up the dishes and chopsticks in front of him and ate them. Ye Zifeng didn't seem to think about who made this table of meals for strawberries in the empty floor, and why there was this bowl of rice in front of him.

The table was full of dishes, and the two of them leaned back on the back of their chairs and smacked their lips contentedly. To be honest, this is really good, the steamed sea bass is tender and tender, and the kung pao chicken is also Ye Zifeng's favorite sweet and sour taste.

"Good food." Ye Zifeng exclaimed.

"I did." Strawberry immediately picked up.

"Huh?" Ye Zifeng was stunned, "Don't you have a chef?" ”

"What do you think?" The strawberry glanced at Ye Zifeng, Ye Zifeng looked up and looked around, indeed, not to mention the chef, the waiter in this restaurant is nowhere to be seen.

"Okay." Ye Zifeng nodded lightly, "Although I don't know why you want to help me, I really should thank you for inviting me to dinner." ”

Ye Zifeng got up from his seat, picked up a napkin on the side and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"I'll get back to you when I have time."

"No, you don't. However, the corresponding remuneration is still needed, so in order to make it whole, I will give a little hint. Strawberry replied coldly.

Ye Zifeng nodded, looked at the strawberry seriously, and waited for the strawberry to speak.

"It's always a bit disappointing at the end. Also, sometimes your common sense is the opposite of reality. ”

"Huh?" Ye Zifeng was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand the speech of the shrine priest of Strawberry, he was slightly stunned, and made a puzzled voice, "What do you mean?" ”
