Chapter Twenty-Five: Twenty Years Ago—Weird
Time passed minute by minute, Link and Li Li felt that their heartbeat was accelerating, like a runaway engine constantly beating violently, Li Li kept testing the password in the face of this unknown lockbox, but he was still at a loss. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Say the password! Do you also want to be destroyed together? Link said angrily.
"Destruction? I've spent my life destroying, destroying things that seem hypocritical, disgusting, and can't accommodate us people, and I know that one day I'll be destroyed by you, but I'm not going to be alone. After Bai Jin finished speaking, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Link was about to retort when the platinum suddenly disappeared like an image on a curtain, as if it had never appeared in front of his eyes, without sound or afterimage.
Link was stunned by the scene in front of him, and looked around to see only himself and Li Li, who was still busy on the lockbox, in the densely packed storage room, "What's going on?" What just happened? ”
"Haha, is this the first time you've seen this phenomenon?" Hearing Platinum's voice coming from behind him, Link gasped. He quickly turned around and found Bai Jin standing in the doorway not far away, with Pang Tengfei, who had an injured leg, crawling at his feet. Link raised his gun in a flash of lightning, "Don't try to run away again!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Platinum disappeared again in front of his eyes, and three seconds later, Platinum's voice appeared on his right side, followed by the left side, and then behind him, and Platinum kept disappearing, appearing, disappearing and appearing, like a magician playing with animals.
Link couldn't stand the absurdity of what appeared in front of him, and he kept shooting at the place where Platinum appeared, but the speed of the bullet couldn't keep up with the frequency of Platinum's disappearance, and the shot bounced off the walls and pipes around him.
"Link, use this." At the same time as Link was shooting indiscriminately, Pang Tengfei held up a box in his hand to greet Link Dao.
Link walked up to Pang Tengfei and picked up the box, which contained a pair of glasses: "What is this?" ”
"This glasses can see the trajectory and movement of platinum's disappearance."
"How can you have such a thing? You knew he had the ability to disappear in an instant? Link once again had doubts about Pang Tengfei in front of him at this time, this taciturn member of the Special Security Committee exuded an elusive smell, from entering the base to taking the initiative to take the lockbox, all kinds of behaviors made people feel uneasy, and he could even predict Platinum's ability, which made Link even more suspicious of Pang Tengfei's true face.
But at this time, in the face of a helpless situation, Link didn't have time to think anymore, he put on his glasses and looked in the direction where Platinum disappeared, Link picked up the gun and shot in the direction where Platinum disappeared, Platinum disappeared again, but looked through the glasses, Platinum disappeared and left a colored afterimage in place, and as he moved, he left a long trail in front of him. The goal is clear, and there is only a predetermined shot left for Link to shoot, he holds the gun tightly, and shoots a bullet accurately on the line where Platinum moves, and the trajectory of Platinum's movement comes to an abrupt end, only to see Platinum suddenly appear on the trajectory, and with a loud scream, he falls to the ground, and blood flows from his waist.
Link rushed forward and pressed Platinum to the ground, only to see that Platinum was wearing a glove in his right hand, and a small chip was contained on each of the five fingers of the glove, perhaps his ability had something to do with this glove. Just as Link was about to put the gloves in his pocket, a figure flashed past him and instantly took away the gloves, Link looked up and found that it was another member of the Special Security Committee, Ye Shan Cheng, "This is the task of the Special Security Committee, you don't have to ask." Just when Link wanted to ask what was going on, Lu Nan and Takeda also arrived in time, and after everyone tied up the platinum firmly, Lu Nan told everyone that Ji Si and the others had gone to find a way out of the base, and ordered Link, Takeda, and Hayama City to evacuate first with Platinum and the injured Pang Tengfei, and stay at the base to finish.
"Report!" Li Li suddenly interrupted Lu Nan's arrangement, "We may not be able to get out." ”
Everyone turned around, and Li Li, who was sweaty, was holding the locked box that had been opened, and the countdown in the lockbox showed "zero".
"It's going to detonate?" Takeda asked.
"Run! Be sure to bring the platinum, I'll go find the location of the bomb, and maybe a chance to live. After speaking, without waiting for everyone to dissuade him, Lu Nan ran to the depths of the base.
Everyone picked up the fainted platinum and the injured Pang Tengfei and began to move out of the door, whether there was a chance of survival or not, everyone had to give it a try, and after walking far, the ground of the base began to shake, and the lights flickered on everyone's faces, and then the shaking became bigger and bigger, and the sound of an explosion could be faintly heard in the distance. "It's over, it's completely over." Takeda said dejectedly as he threw the gun on the hand.
For this mission, Link thought that he had made sufficient preparations, but he still lacked the necessary estimate for Platinum, but it was a great comfort to be able to die with his good brother in the last mission. He looked at the other team members, only Pang Tengfei and Ye Shan Cheng were still expressionless, as if the impending death had nothing to do with him. The shaking was getting louder and louder, the explosion was getting clearer, the air was getting hotter, the room was dark due to the electrical circuit break, and the sound of the explosion mixed with the surging sea water was heard in his ears, although the base was noisy, Link could hardly hear his own heartbeat, he felt a kind of relief that he had never felt before, maybe this was the pleasure of the moment before death. He felt that his body became a little lighter, began to float in the air, and suddenly felt a huge suction force slowly peeling himself off, like a thousand horses tearing his limbs, he felt some difficulty breathing, a certain amount of smoke entered the respiratory tract, he wanted to try to hold his breath, but the suffocation made his strength gradually weaken, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
It seemed like a long time had passed, maybe a year, a decade, or even a century, and Link felt his body again, as if lying in the water, the cold tide constantly washing over his body. After the sensation of his body and limbs was restored, a wave of pain began to hit his brain, maybe this is the feeling of another world, what is this world like, maybe he is no longer human.
Link slowly opened his eyes, there was a patch of blue in front of him, a white cloud slowly broke into his eyes, the sea water poured into Link's ears, he could hear the sound of the sea slapping on his body, Link wanted to look to both sides, and found Takeda, Li Li, Pang Tengfei and Bai Jinzheng lying on the beach with him.
"Where are we?" Takeda hurriedly asked when he saw that Link was also awake.
Link looked at Takeda and shook his head.
"We escaped." Pang Tengfei said, and Li Li, who was on the side, also woke up at this time.
"Escape, how is it possible, we are in the base under the sea, and it is impossible to escape even if we have wings." Takeda was surprised.
"Link, you should know it's possible." Pang Tengfei's voice was the calm water of the lake, "You also saw Platinum's ability, and we used his gloves to escape." ”
"How do you know so much?"
"We have a lot of information that the Ministry of Defense does not know, which is originally confidential, but in order to escape from the base, we can only show it in front of you, because of the existence of this glove, so our Special Security Committee will participate in this operation."
"What about Hayama Castle? Why didn't you see him? ”
"He failed, after all, it was too difficult for him to need to transfer so many people at once."
"What are you talking about? I don't understand why. Takeda jumped to his feet in a hurry.
"This is a secret of the Special Security Commission, but it was encountered by me and Li Li, and I will tell you when I have a chance in the future." Link explained, turning to Li Li, he asked, "Li Li, why are you in the base?" You shouldn't be on the list for this operation. ”
Li Li shook off the water on his body, walked to the beach, and let the sea water submerge his feet: "I was not on the list of operations this time, but because my vacation location is on Sun Island, so Staff Officer Lu hopes that I can participate in this operation and participate in a covert form, my task is that once you are known to the outside world during the mission, I must create the false appearance that this is a combination of two groups of terrorists, so as to minimize the negative impact on the world." ”
"What about your specific mission?"
"Once exposed, wipe out your entire team, so that the outside world will never know about the existence of this operation, and then close the exit of the base forever, and make it difficult for the platinum gang and everyone in the base to live in the base forever."
"Is this crazy? How many lives are there? Takeda shouted.
"I thought it was a crazy plan at first, but when Staff Officer Lu told me that he would personally participate in this operation, I realized that it was not an impulse, and he had already realized that there was no return."
After listening to Li Li's words, everyone was silent, and the sound of the waves and the whistling of the sea breeze were amplified in their ears, like an elegy for Lu Nan.
"We are all failures in this mission." Li Li said meaningfully, and he turned around to help Bai Jin, who was still lying on the ground, and rechecked the binding measures.
"I feel like we're like a bunch of homeless kids." Takeda smiled bitterly.
"From the moment I accepted the mission, I should have expected this day." Link said, "By the way, our coordinates are Golden Island right now, but from the environment, it doesn't seem like there was an explosion beyond control at the base." ”
"Because there are no nuclear warheads in there." Pang Tengfei was still unusually calm.
"What did you say?" Link stared at Pang Tengfei with wide eyes, "There are no nuclear warheads in here?" ”
"The mission statement says that the number of nuclear warheads here could destroy most of the Indian peninsula." Takeda added.
"It's just an ordinary underwater military base, equipped with conventional weapons, and its lethality is very limited." Pang Tengfei replied.
"How do you know about this kind of military secret?" Takeda stepped forward, grabbed Pang Tengfei's shirt and asked, "We are desperate to recapture the weapons here, and Li Li also opened the lockbox, which actually means that there is nothing here?" ”
Pang Tengfei let Takeda hold him, and said: "It's because Platinum is hidden here, that lockbox is not the controller of a nuclear warhead, but just a detonator for a self-destructing bomb, and the moment the box is opened, the explosives hidden in the base will automatically begin to detonate." ”
"Why do you know so much, who are you?" Link asked.
"I said that I am a member of the combat team of the Special Security Committee, and I have said it many times, and the Special Security Committee has a lot of information that you don't know."
"Could it be that we have all been deceived?" Li Li, who was standing on the side, said, "We have all been deceived by the Special Security Commission, and the entire Ministry of Defense has been deceived by the Special Security Commission? If I'm not mistaken, the real goal of this mission should be Platinum's gauntlet with magical abilities, and the Special Security Commission is just covering up people's eyes and ears in the name of the Ministry of Defense, using our naval power to enter the base, and then carry out its own mission, once our mission fails, then all the consequences will be borne by the Ministry of Defense, and you can get out of the way. ”
"Bastard!" Takeda knocked Pang Tengfei to the ground with a punch and scolded: "How many of us have died in the base for you, have their lives been played with by you like this!" ”
"It's all about the mission."
"Go on your mission, you cold-blooded jackals, you really should let you stay in the base and be buried." Takeda punched and kicked Pang Tengfei again, and Pang Tengfei just sat on the beach and didn't fight back.
"According to the requirements of the mission, you should all stay at the base, and Shancheng should only take me out alone, but I think he must have mixed other emotions outside of the mission." Pang Tengfei silently bowed his head when he said Yeshan City.
Knowing the truth, Link still can't believe what he heard, the ending of his life and his brother's death turned out to be a hoax, he hoped that he was dead, and all he saw and heard was a hallucination.
"Let's go, and when we go back, the truth will be revealed." Li Li comforted Link and Takeda, who had long been crying, "It's not like we got nothing, at least we caught him." ”
