Chapter 18: Honkai II: Me and Freedom (No. 18) 2
"What's going on? The data link is broken? Xia Lu's question came from the earphones, Ye Zifeng gritted his teeth and ran towards the bottom of the gentle slope. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The computer has been destroyed, and it seems that there is no hope of destroying it from within." Ye Zifeng punched the wall on the side heavily, "I'll figure it out, I'll leave the rest to me." ”
"Hmm." Xia Lu nodded hesitantly, but finally compromised, "Pay attention to safety." ”
"I know." Ye Zifeng replied, "The call is over." ”
Turning off the headphones, Ye Zifeng ran out from under the gentle slope.
A few bullets flew after Ye Zifeng, but Ye Zifeng strode to the side to avoid the bullets and picked up the M110.
Locate the target of three people, move extremely fast, calibrate the firing position. Ye Zifeng stood still on the working platform, holding a rifle and aiming at the three mercenaries who were quickly sliding down the gentle slope, it seemed that they were using tools such as skateboards, and the mercenaries' movement speed was more than twice as fast as when Ye Zifeng slid down before.
Gently pulling the trigger, while moving the muzzle slightly, a triple burst, three bullets flew towards the mercenary, and almost instantly, the three mercenaries fell to the ground in unison, and the wall was splashed with bright red blood.
There was no enemy for the time being, Ye Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief, but there was no time for Ye Zifeng to rest, his most important task now was to destroy the energy gathering device in front of him. After fumbling around in his satchel a few times, he took out a few C7 foam bombs, looked around himself, picked out a few large computer parts that were broken on the side, and inserted a timing fuse after coating them with foam bombs. Eight minutes after setting, the fuse will emit a high-temperature spark to detonate the bomb, and Ye Zifeng stuffed the computer parts into the gap of the energy gathering device. After applying another layer of foam bomb to ensure that the dried foam bomb fixed the computer accessories on the device, Ye Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps back and looked at his masterpiece, and smiled with satisfaction.
However, this is only the beginning, the three mercenaries have just arrived, and more mercenaries have appeared from the exit where Ye Zifeng has just entered the Yuanjing work platform, probably the staff in charge of disinfection notified the guards patrolling the parking lot on the second basement floor.
These guards were not equipped with skateboards or anything like that, and immediately after they reappeared, they spotted Ye Zifeng in the work platform. The sudden sound of rifle fire rang out, and dense bullets rained down like drops towards where Ye Zifeng was standing. Moving a few steps quickly, Ye Zifeng hid behind the computer used by the staff before, there was a bouncing sound overhead, and the shattered glass and the incomplete computer motherboard hit by the bullet fell from the top of his head and fell to Ye Zifeng's side.
"Gotta figure it out." Ye Zifeng gritted his teeth and wanted to look at the guards on the gentle slope, but as soon as Ye Zifeng probed, a few bullets sparked on the steel plate next to his face. Ye Zifeng immediately retracted his head.
The M110 in his hand is completely useless, and he doesn't even know where the enemy is. It seems that it can only be taken in an all-or-nothing way.
Ye Zifeng gritted his teeth, counted down to 321 in his heart, got up quickly from behind the computer desk, and ran briskly towards the safe exit where the strawberry girl left when the guard on the gentle slope did not react.
There is only about ten meters between the computer desk and the safety exit, Ye Zifeng only took five or six steps forward and ran to the fire door, pulled the trigger, and a triple burst smashed the door lock on the reverse lock, Ye Zifeng raised his foot and kicked the fire door, bang, the fire door kicked open, and Ye Zifeng quickly dodged in.
The bullets behind him chased after him, but Ye Zifeng had already closed the fire door, and the bullets clanged on the heavy fire door, but none of the bullets could penetrate the fire door.
Ye Zifeng let out a sigh of relief, the gunfire behind him disappeared, and the guards may have given up shooting and wanted to break in directly, but it would take five or six minutes before running from the gentle slope to this fire escape.
After relaxing, a strong smell of blood came to his face, Ye Zifeng subconsciously covered his mouth and nose and wrinkled, he didn't observe it well before, there was not enough light source in this safe passage, only a few dim red warning lights on the side of the passage glowed weakly. It was like a slaughter field, and everything in front of me was not dyed crimson.
Ye Zifeng didn't have much time to stay here, to be honest, Ye Zifeng would rather return to his previous work platform than move forward in this bloody passage, but there was no way, there were too many guards behind him, and there were nearly ten people in just a flash, and now turning back was completely an act of looking for death.
Ye Zifeng found a few metal boxes of unknown use from the side to block the fire door tightly, and then walked towards the depths of the passage. Ye Zifeng didn't know where this passage leads, it may lead to the real hell, but Ye Zifeng knows better that the metal box behind him can't resist him for long.
Moving forward is a fork in the road, Ye Zifeng thought about it and chose the passage on the left, hoping that there would be no mistakes, Ye Zifeng's task has been completed, and the device behind him will explode in seven minutes. Ye Zifeng didn't want to get into any more trouble in between, although he felt a little uneasy that he didn't find the strawberry girl, but Ye Zifeng didn't have the energy to care about others.
Pulling her phone out of her pocket, she dialed Alice's as she walked forward.
"Alice."
"I'm here." Alice picked up the phone.
"Prepare for a sniper, shoot as soon as the colonel appears, and then the energy barrier should disappear, even if it's really an energy shield, there's no problem."
"I see." Alice looked at the exit of the Hilton Hotel with binoculars, a large number of guards in black combat uniforms were on guard at the entrance, dozens of armored vehicles surrounded the hotel, and military helicopters were also hovering over the Hilton Hotel.
"Now that we're on full alert, it's better to come out soon." Alice reminded.
"You don't have to worry about me." Ye Zifeng said on the phone, "Attention, without me, there is only one chance left for sniping, and you must not miss, and the plan set by your master must not be flawed with you." ”
"Leave it to me." Alice patted her chest confidently after listening to Ye Zifeng's preaching, without showing a trace of dissatisfaction.
"End of call." Ye Zifeng didn't hang up the phone immediately, paused, and Ye Zifeng continued, "Pay attention to safety." ”
A busy tone came from the microphone, and Alice hung up. I don't know if Alice heard Ye Zifeng's last words, Ye Zifeng could only sigh helplessly.
Continuing forward, Ye Zifeng still didn't see the stairs or elevators going up, the passage was still red, and the smell of blood still hadn't weakened. Ye Zifeng realized that he had chosen the wrong way before, but the guard should have entered the safe passage at this time, Ye Zifeng couldn't turn back, so he could only continue to move forward. The roar of some kind of machine operation echoed in the passage, and the sound was not very loud, but Ye Zifeng's footsteps were still drowned out.
Clear traces of blood appeared on the wall, and Ye Zifeng tensed up and clenched the M110 in his hand. The terrain suddenly opened up, and the passage that was still narrow before had turned into an empty warehouse at this time, although the space had become I don't know how many times larger, but Ye Zifeng still smelled a rather strong smell of blood, the blood on the ground gathered into a stream and flowed towards the drainage drain on the side, the corpses of the staff in white overalls were piled up in the middle of the warehouse, several guards were carrying gasoline to pour gasoline on it, and the exhaust channel overhead had been fully opened, making a loud whining sound, This also caused Ye Zifeng to enter the warehouse without attracting the attention of the guards in the warehouse.
There was no place to hide in the warehouse, and Ye Zifeng carefully moved to the corner by sticking to the edge of the warehouse, trying to get out from the other end of the warehouse. Fortunately, the lights in the warehouse were still dim, otherwise it would still be difficult for Ye Zifeng to hide his figure.
But even so. Someone still saw Ye Zifeng.
"Since you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" A crisp sound sounded, drowning down the sound of the exhaust system.
All the guards in the warehouse stopped what they were doing and looked at a slender figure walking from a distance, with long smooth hair falling behind his back, and a new strawberry in his hand.
The guards looked at Ye Zifeng, and everyone picked up the rifles hanging on their shoulders at the same time, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed directly at Ye Zifeng. Ye Zifeng didn't pick up the M110 because he knew it would be futile. On the surface, Ye Zifeng tried his best to stay calm, but in his heart, Ye Zifeng set off turbulent waves.
"How did you see me?"
When these words were asked, Ye Zifeng had to ask a little redundant, a complete living person, and there was no stealth, did he climb the rock and walk the wall, what could he not see.
Sure enough, the strawberry girl glanced at Ye Zifeng contemptuously, stopped, looked at Ye Zifeng with her feet apart, threw the strawberry in her hand into her mouth and chewed it carefully.
"It doesn't matter how I saw you, but since I've already let you go before, why do I have to follow here."
"I said I was lost, do you believe me?"
This is the truth, but Ye Zifeng didn't expect the strawberry girl to believe her words.
"I mean, why did you get into the fire escape!" The girl's sudden shouting made Ye Zifeng stunned.
"There are pursuers behind me, of course I have to run." Ye Zifeng didn't know the meaning of the girl's question, "This is the only way out for me." ”
"Pursuers behind you?" The girl didn't seem to know anything about Ye Zifeng and the situation, "Don't talk nonsense and deceive people!" ”
"I didn't lie to you." Ye Zifeng felt a little aggrieved, but suddenly came back to his senses, and Ye Zifeng suddenly thought of why he had been being led by this girl's nose.
"What's your name?" Ye Zifeng took advantage of the gap in the conversation to ask.
"It's none of your business." The girl replied coldly, then turned to the guards next to the pile of corpses and shouted, "Hurry up and work, we have to leave quickly." ”
The guards lowered their guns and continued to lift the gasoline canisters and splash them on the pile of corpses. The strawberry girl walked in front of Ye Zifeng, obviously a head shorter than Ye Zifeng, but she felt even more domineering.
"You, follow me." The strawberry girl grabbed Ye Zifeng's arm and walked towards the passage on the other side of the warehouse, and the two left the warehouse full of blood.
The fire door behind her closed with a bang, and the strawberry girl leaned against the door and let out a long sigh. The white coat on his body looked a little messy, but the uniform under the white coat was neat.
"What's your name?" Ye Zifeng asked again, I don't know why, Ye Zifeng was very interested in this girl he had never met.
"Is that all you want to know my name?" The girl glanced at Ye Zifeng, "The most important thing now is your own safety, now this building is under our control." ”
"Then call you Strawberry."
"Don't give people nicknames." The strawberry glanced at Ye Zifeng, and then sighed, "Forget it, you can call it whatever you want." ”
"You're looking for me?" Ye Zifeng asked, "You make me worry about my own safety, are you a member of the Admiralty?" ”
"No, absolutely not." Strawberry immediately replied, and replied firmly, "Although it was said that there was a period of cooperation with the Admiralty, but now there is absolutely no intention of cooperating. Standing with the Admiralty is nothing more than self-defeating. ”
The girl had a look of disgust on her face.
"Do you know how much I once believed in the Admiralty?"
"Convinced?" Ye Zifeng was stunned.
"It's about believing." Strawberry nodded, but she suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Zifeng, "How can I tell you this." ”
"I didn't ask." Ye Zifeng raised his hands.
"Forget it, you know, it's probably just that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." The girl shook her head, "Let's get out of here first, it's too dangerous here." ”
"Why are you helping me?" Ye Zifeng asked puzzled.
"I'm like the Admiralty, but I don't hate you." Strawberry replied casually, "Go this way." ”
The lights in the passage became normal, the white light illuminated the turquoise wall paint, and Ye Zifeng also saw a fire hydrant whose glass had been broken, and the fire axe inside was missing.
About five minutes later, Ye Zifeng looked at his watch, and there were still two minutes and twenty-two seconds before the bomb exploded. Ye Zifeng and Strawberry found the elevator to the upper floor, and after taking the elevator, Ye Zifeng clicked the button on the top floor.
"Don't you go out from the first floor? You're going to jump off a building? Strawberry asked, a little confused.
"You're going to jump off the building." Ye Zifeng rolled his eyes, "I booked a room." ”
"Oh, that's right." Strawberry nodded thoughtfully.
"You should tell me why you're helping me." Ye Zifeng looked at the strawberry, "And what is the underground device?" ”
"As I said, I'm only helping you because I don't hate you relative to the Admiralty." Strawberry said loudly, "I have nothing to say about the underground device, except to tell you that it is the one that will free you from the oppression of the pilgrims. ”
"It doesn't matter if you destroy it, right?" Ye Zifeng asked.
"Whatever." The girl said the answer that Ye Zifeng didn't expect, if the girl pulled Ye Zifeng's collar and scolded you bastard at Ye Zifeng at this time, Ye Zifeng would feel better, it was not that Ye Zifeng was cheap, but what did the girl mean casually.
"What did you say?" Ye Zifeng stared at the strawberry with wide eyes.
"I said whatever, we use that device just to collect test data, that one is just a miniature simulator, and the real device is placed in ......," the girl immediately stopped talking, "I won't tell you." ”
"I didn't want to know." Ye Zifeng shook his head, "What does Colonel Burke have to do with this device?" ”
"Actually, it doesn't matter, but when he heard about the device, he said he wanted to see it, but of course we couldn't let him see it, so we hired mercenaries." Strawberry said, "Of course I won't call the guards of the Defense Department. ”
"That's not what I'm talking about." Ye Zifeng combed his hair back, and the roots of his hair were torn painfully. The situation has completely deviated from Ye Zifeng's previous conjecture, but Ye Zifeng always feels that the idea he put forward is not wrong, but there is something incoherent between what Strawberry said and what he thought.
Ye Zifeng didn't ask questions from then on, but leaned on the elevator and lowered his head in thought. Strawberry looked at Ye Zifeng curiously and didn't make a sound.
――I was thinking that there was some kind of cooperation between the "God Arrival" and the Ministry of Defense, and that some kind of energy experiment was being conducted under the Hilton Hotel. And the mask that appeared before was not as he said, but only because of his personal hatred and cooperation with the Ministry of Defense, which must be a link in the cooperation between the "God Resist" and the Ministry of Defense.
-- However, Strawberry said that there is no actual connection between the Ministry of Defense and the "God Arrival", and the "God Arrival" that appeared this time is just a strawberry call to protect the smooth progress of the experiment, and it is not a specific cooperation with the Ministry of Defense as imagined.
A violent vibration interrupted Ye Zifeng's thinking, and Ye Zifeng could feel that the entire Hilton Hotel was trembling incessantly.
Strawberry hugged her body by holding on to the handrail in the elevator, and her face turned a little pale.
"Hey, seriously, you really blew up?"
"Didn't you say whatever?" Ye Zifeng didn't dare to look at the strawberry complimentally.
"That's true, but it's really heart-wrenching for a device worth hundreds of millions to blow up like this." Strawberry patted his chest and let out a sigh.
Ye Zifeng didn't answer, took out his mobile phone and dialed Alice's number. This time, though, Alice didn't pick up the phone for a long time.
-- Maybe he was concentrating on sniping, but yes, this kind of shock would definitely make the colonel more vigilant.
Ye Zifeng put away his phone, sighed, and clicked on the switch of the earphones, wanting to contact Xia Lu.
"You've succeeded, Zifeng!"
As soon as the call was established, Xia Lu's excited shouts immediately came from the headset.
