Chapter 132: The Spring of Ilim
"Drop~", a green light lit up, and the door to the top floor slid silently to one side.
The electricity system on the second floor has been cut off, and there is no lighting light, except for a little urban afterglow from the broken windows. But the thick clouds of the planet Ilim around the equator reflect the glow of the tall buildings, making the entire city lose its night. The bright light from the outside world only made the floor darker. Whether it was the furniture on this side or the scattered corpses, only the black silhouette could barely be seen.
As the door to the upper level opened, a bright band of light shone through the door, and in the dark floor, a long orange square was spread. Zhao Min took Bo Li Reimu's little hand, and the two lonely people walked into the light. Under the light, looking around the empty and dark floor, it looks like a devastated place.
On the second floor, apart from the smoky explosion and a few corpses lying in the light, it seemed that only the darkness was suppressed to the point of solidification.
Zhao Min took Xiao Lingmeng and stopped at the door leading to the top floor of the building, looking at the dark depths of the floor with burning eyes.
"Click, click~", the sound of light, rhythmic heels hitting the ground sounded. A concave figure emerges from the darkness and stays on the edge of a bright block of light. The pillar of light split her in half, her helmeted head hidden in the darkness, covered only by the body-hugging armor and a pair of stiletto-heeled one-piece shoes.
The armor on the woman's body has a large number of intricate stripes and smooth color blocks, which make the front of the whole armor look good. It's like a colorful picture - this style is typical of the Asari.
The woman's location is very close. But Zhao Min tightened his hand and grabbed his eagerness to try. A little reimu who wants to take advantage of the opportunity.
"Lord Zhao Min, please stay, or die." The Asari said in a hoarse, strangely rhythmic voice. As she spoke, the shadows of a dozen Asari slowly emerged from the shadows around her. They hid jaggedly behind cover, guns aimed at two men, silent in the dark. The threat is unmistakable.
Zhao Min looked at the Asari in front of him with a smile. From the moment the woman appeared, her attention remained on the person, as if the dozen or so assault rifles around her were aimed at her. It's not as important as the woman in front of you.
"Elaine," Zhao Min's voice echoed through the dark floors without going through the translator. "I remember, you should work for me...... My dear little secretary. ”
Heard Zhao Min say that name. The Asari on the other side shuddered invisibly. Her body stiffened and then relaxed.
"I really can't hide anything from you." As she said this, her voice had changed to another crisp voice. Elaine tapped her finger on the edge of her helmet, and her visor changed from opaque to transparent, revealing a delicate, blue-skinned female face. There were still a few freckles on her pretty cheeks, which among the Asari suggested that she was not yet a hundred and fifty years old. Maybe just coming of age. Xiao Lingmeng puffed out her mouth dissatisfiedly, this Asari woman. She had met Zhao Min a few times in his office and was the direct person in charge of the environmental protection public welfare fund created by Zhao Min!
"Eat inside and out! Spies! Traitor! ......" Xiao Lingmeng muttered, and Zhao Min touched her head lovingly, preventing her from continuing. Although the contact time is very short, her "mother" and "cheap daughter" Xiao Lingmeng are really in love, and the two of them are like glue...... Zhao Min often thinks that if she really has a daughter, I'm afraid she can't compare to the heart-wrenching love that Xiao Lingmeng gave her.
Seeing that her daughter was upset for her, Zhao Min was of course happy in her heart - but the world of adults is complicated, and it is too naïve to condemn the other party for not being loyal enough. Zhao Min paid the salary of the other party's executives, and the other party completed the work perfectly......
"I'm sorry, Sister Min." The woman named Elaine said sincerely. This is the name given to Zhao Min by several female employees in the headquarters, although they are all much older than Zhao Min. But the sense of fear under this accumulation of authority is in the heart.
"Do you need it?!" Zhao Min's smile faded and he asked coldly. From the day Lu Yuan abandoned her (in her heart, it was Lu Yuan who abandoned her), she hated that others were sorry to her!
It was obviously the dominant side, but in the face of Zhao Min's substantial gaze, Elaine couldn't help but take a step back, and her head lowered involuntarily. At this moment, she turned back into the little clerk who followed Zhao Min to expand her territory, not the commander of the Asari Special Operations Force! After getting along for more than half a year, as Zhao Min's former secretary, she clearly knows the temper of the "queen".
"Of course you don't need ......" Elaine plucked up the courage to raise her head again, first looking at Zhao Min, and then her gaze fell on the long sword that Zhao Min was holding. From the day you first followed you, you said - if you're sorry for the use, why do you need a sword! ”
"The most courageous thing I have done in my life is to dare to stand opposite you today!" Elaine finally faced her weakness calmly.
She crossed her hands, and with a "bang" sound, two serpent-like blades stretched out from the armor of her arms. A dull blade with a narrow arc, crossed in front of a beautiful face! After the blade, Elaine's gaze regained firmness. "But today, no matter what it takes, I'm going to stop you from leaving!"
But her declaration was like hitting a stone wall, eliciting no response. Zhao Min's figure flickered, and the tip of the sword was already pointing at her face. As the "queen", Zhao Min didn't need to explain at all, and went straight to the action.
"Protection!" Elaine didn't move, she shouted in Asari's voice, and from her crossed hands, a blue light suddenly rippled. The blue light then swelled suddenly, turning into a spherical shield that enveloped her. Zhao Min's steel sword slashed on the light mask, only causing a piercing scraping sound! The mask was concave inward like a bubble, but it finally resisted the blade and did not break.
"Stagnation!" Without waiting for Zhao Min to withdraw the long sword, Elaine's dual-wielding Hidden Blade hand had already been pushed forward. In the next moment, the light mask broke, and all the blue light and breath inside shot out in a cone like a fire extinguisher. Zhao Min bore the brunt of it, and was sprayed by the blue breath and light! She felt as if she had fallen into a quagmire all of a sudden, her every move was wrapped in shackles of thousands of pounds, and her movements suddenly became extremely slow!
Asari people generally have special abilities, and for ordinary people, it may be that just falling/falling from a height will not seriously hurt this kind of process. But soldiers of special forces like Elaine, after special training, their abilities are often outstanding, and their strength is not at all comparable to ordinary people. Elaine is good at limited abilities, which are specifically used to "capture" Zhao Min.
Zhao was so sensitive that she felt like she was haunted by heavy objects and couldn't move, not because her ability limited her mobility, but because the ability directly froze her nervous system.
"I say I'm sorry because I lied to you, my ability...... Very strong! Elaine said softly. Her left hand rested on Zhao Min's shoulder, who couldn't move, and with a click, the left Hidden Blade bent into a neck ring with an inward blade, wrapping around Zhao Min's neck.
Zhao Min's hard work on the planet Ilim has never been smooth sailing. Even though she is protected by the Greenskin Guards, she has been assassinated countless times. Many times, Zhao Min has to rely on his agile skills and extremely fast reaction to personally protect everyone's safety. But even at the most dangerous moment, Zhao Min didn't leave them behind, and ran away alone! Elaine, on the other hand, has always played the role of a drag bottle that can only occasionally help out with her abilities.
She felt guilty all the time......
"I know." Zhao Min's voice sounded in her ears.
"What?" Elaine was shocked when she heard this! Her left hand scurried forward, but the coiled neck ring only caught the air.
A bright sword light flew up, and the ordinary green steel sword now seemed to be energized, and the surface was stained with a layer of green light! "Protection!" Elaine, who could barely see the trajectory of the sword light, didn't have time to think about why Zhao Min was able to get out of the "stagnation" of the ability, and subconsciously re-supported the hemispherical ability barrier!
But this time it's useless! I saw the same "bang", but this time the result was completely different from the last time! The sword light was like a new orange, and the barrier was torn apart in the blink of an eye. Countless clear lights leaked out, Elaine only felt a vast blue light in front of her, and she couldn't see anything! When the light cleared, she stood there a little dazed.
Zhao Min stood back in his place, as if nothing had happened. It's just that her empty hands, suing sù Elaine are not her hallucinations. The blue steel long sword that was like a miracle just now, because it couldn't support the internal force, had already shattered into countless pieces of iron, and it fell at Zhao Min's feet.
"Honey, I forgot to tell you, I'm also very strong." Zhao Min smiled and said, "But it's been a year, and your boobs are still like that...... The Asari are really slow to develop. ”
"Ahh Elaine then realized what was happening, she screamed, and covered her hands above and below! (Don't you feel sad that one hand can cover it?) It turned out that in an instant, she had been stripped naked by Zhao Min's sword light! The first time she didn't find out was because Zhao Min was mischievous and left her a complete helmet......
Elaine only felt so sad that it was beyond measure, because this was not the first time. In the past, she had always pretended to be "incompetent", because she was occasionally stripped naked by the queen to "check her body". Is...... An unflattering past.
"You've got five minutes." Zhao Min's smile this time was very different, as brilliant and dazzling as an epiphany blooming in the dark night.
Her smile made Elaine's heart fall straight into the abyss. She had seen it many times—every time, it was the moment when the Queen stood on the edge of the cliff and watched the fools who shot at her jump off the cliff herself.
