January 15, 2071 3:20 a.m. -- Sharez Star 020 Base -- Intensive Care Unit --

"Who?" Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the muscles in Tang Xingfeng's whole body tensed up all of a sudden, and his right hand stretched out under the pillow, and he grabbed the "Six-Five" pistol at once.

"Sergeant Tang Xingfeng, are you convenient now, it's time to inject drugs." Lu Huiling's voice came from outside the door, Tang Xingfeng's tense muscles relaxed, and the "65" pistol was also put back under his pillow. Because of being contacted in the state of "looking", Tang Xingfeng is a little nervous now, and he can't be blamed for being so vigilant.

"Please come in, Nurse Lou."

Putting the apple down, Tang Xingfeng opened the electronic door of the ward through remote control. Lu Huiling, who was pushing a cart, walked in from outside the ward. To Tang Xingfeng's surprise, Lu Huiling was followed by a warrant officer wearing black armor.

"Nurse Lu, who is this?" After becoming a "sensitizer", Tang Xingfeng had a certain instinctive reaction to danger, such as heart palpitations, arm tremors and other signs. Mark's presence didn't make him feel in danger, it relieved him a little.

"Oh, this is Warrant Officer Mark, and he said he fought alongside you in the Battle of the Centipede Rift, and he heard that you were wounded, and came to visit you." While preparing the injection kits, Lu Huiling introduced Mark to Tang Xingfeng, not noticing that the eyes of the two were slowly changing.

"Hello, Sergeant Tang Xingfeng." Mark took the lead in stretching out his right hand, and although Tang Xingfeng on the hospital bed was reluctant, he still stretched out his right hand because of the other party's military rank.

"Hats off, sir." As soon as she shook hands with Mark, Tang Xingfeng's left hand also had something to do, Lu Huiling picked up a multi-purpose syringe and injected a dose of active medical worm into Tang Xingfeng's left arm.

After injecting Tang Xingfeng with the medicine, Lu Huiling, who noticed the strange gaze of the two, consciously withdrew from the ward. When Lu Huiling exited the room, Mark decisively took out the paper letter and threw it to Tang Xingfeng, who was extremely vigilant.

"What is this?" Looking at the letter that fell in front of him, Tang Xingfeng couldn't help frowning, what age is this, and there are still people using this kind of thing. But then he thought about it, the top secret is also made of paper materials. Swallowing his saliva, Tang Xingfeng opened the envelope very nervously.

It wasn't until Tang Xingfeng finished reading the letter with sweat on his forehead that Mark asked faintly, "How is it, Sergeant, what are your plans?" ”

After lowering his head and pondering for a while, Tang Xingfeng slowly raised his head and looked at Mark who had opened his visor. "Warrant Officer, I don't want to die."

Mark shook his head slightly, "Sergeant, I'm also a 'sensitizer', I can understand your mood right now. You don't have to worry, General James promised me that if we can help them destroy the Leviathan, we'll get a lot of money and we'll be promoted two levels in a row. You're worried that the military will hold us in the lab, but they don't dare, and if you let the higher-ups know that they're working with the 'Sensitors', they'll just run around without food. Sergeant, if you stay in Shariz and wait for death, why don't we go and give it a fight? ”

Mark's words made Tang Xingfeng a little moved, but Tang Xingfeng was not optimistic about this operation. So, he raised the rest of his concerns with Mark.

"Warrant Officer, what are our chances of getting into the Leviathan?"

"Seventy percent." Mark replied very calmly, such a high probability, it was worth a fight, Tang Xingfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But that wasn't enough to dispel his concerns, and he asked another question.

"What are the odds of us reaching the Leviathan Core once we're inside?"

"Forty percent." Mark's words made Tang Xingfeng swallow his saliva, and the probability dropped a little too much. However, compared to sitting in the base and waiting for the results, the success rate of 40% is still high enough.

Seeing that Tang Xingfeng's expression was quite normal, Mark added, "We must retreat immediately after planting the nuclear bomb, and the retreat time should only be ten minutes." The pressure on the troops guarding the assault boats is actually very high, and if they die before we retreat, we will have to jump straight into space, or turn into cosmic dust with the Leviathan. ”

"Warrant officer, what do you mean........." Tang Xingfeng's face had turned pale at this time, this kind of action was no different from sending him to death.

Mark smiled and picked up a peeled apple, and nibbled on the question that Tang Xingfeng couldn't ask, "The chance that we will escape after planting the nuclear bomb is five percent, and if we are unlucky and catch up with the nuclear bomb explosion, we estimate that there is only a one percent chance of coming out alive."

"Sir, one percent" At this time, Tang Xingfeng's face had become pale, he didn't want to take this task now, this was jumping into hell by himself.

Tang Xingfeng's timid Mark saw it in his eyes, but instead of laughing at the other party, he smiled and handed a peeled apple to Tang Xingfeng. "Are you scared, Sergeant? Don't be ashamed of that, it's normal, but I'm scared. With that, Mark opened the inner armor. Even though he felt extremely frightened, when Tang Xingfeng saw Mark's face, he couldn't help grinning, and then laughed.

It's no wonder that Tang Xingfeng is "like this", Mark's face at this time is well, let's call it a face. His face was covered in salt frost, and a strange layer of salt frost armor had been formed, and if it weren't for the two eyes that were spinning there, it is estimated that people would have thought of him as a snowman.

The salt frost on Mark's face was not naturally formed, but he made it with a thermal harmonizer. In the midst of extreme stress, Mark's body temperature rose rapidly, and there should have been a lot of sweat coming out. However, the thermal modulator of the combat armor monitored Mark's physical condition at all times, and when he found that his body temperature was too high, the harmonic immediately cooled down, which caused Mark, who wanted to be nervous, to feel extremely wrong, and then, he stopped the thermostat to cool down

"Sergeant, just like this sweat, even if we have a thermal energy harmonib, we can't 100% guarantee that the sweat will not spill out. That's the way it is this mission, if we don't carry it out, there will be other forces that will carry it out, but can we be sure that they will be 100% successful? Obviously, no. Since we have to face everything, why don't we take the opportunity into our own hands? ”

Lowering his head and looking at the apple in his hand, Tang Xingfeng nodded vigorously. "Warrant Officer, you have to say yes, follow you, and face the future together."

"Hehe, welcome, my new partner. Before you accept the mission, you will have to sign an agreement between us and the Shariz military to protect our personal safety after the mission is completed. Now, Sergeant, we have to go through the discharge process, and there's a fellow 'Sensor' waiting for us outside the base. ”

Jumping up from the hospital bed all of a sudden, Tang Xingfeng stepped on the bed and stood upright, and gave a standard military salute to Mark, "Warrant officer, promise to complete the task." ”
