CHAPTER XXVI
Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, and ask for the support of readers
Mackay walked alone in the inky darkness, and although it was dark, he could see himself clearly. "It's weird...... "Ma Kai muttered to himself, as if he wasn't himself anymore, as if his consciousness had left his body and was watching his original "self" in action condescendingly. This feeling is like watching a movie, but it's a little different, he doesn't feel anything wrong, as if he is still himself, as long as he doesn't deliberately feel, it's no different.
Gradually, a little light came out, and the surroundings were slowly illuminated. The neighborhood is revealed, a shabby but somewhat cozy cottage. The layout of the house is very cramped, not only the dining table, pots and pans, beds, stoves and cabinets, but also the toilet and water basin are placed together. This is the most common sight in the slums of the Doom Era, and it can even be said that because of the presence of a hard-working hostess, this is already much better than the average slum family. The mistress of this house is Ma Kai's mother.
"Mom!" Ma Kai suddenly shouted at the middle-aged woman, he couldn't see the woman who appeared in the room, the lights in the room were too dim for him to see her face clearly. But he knew that it was his mother, and there was no need to doubt or verify it, calling her "Mom" was like walking with her legs and drinking water with her mouth, and when she was hungry, she would want to eat, and if she was burned, it would hurt; It's like instinct like a young beast throwing itself into the arms of a mother beast; It's as kind as when I come home after picking up garbage outside every day and calling "Mom" eagerly.
"Akai is back, Mom made a good dish today, you can sit down and eat!" The middle-aged woman didn't look back, just replied gently.
"Hmm." Ma Kai didn't say much, he sat down quietly, the table was full of all kinds of food, although they were all quick and nutritious foods distributed by the government, such as beef jelly, egg white soup, and dried vegetables soaked in water, all of which were tasteless things, even if they were cooked by his mother, they were not necessarily very delicious. But the amount of food today was so large that even Ma Kai was surprised.
"Mom, why is today's meal so hearty? Did you take out a week's worth of food for our family? Ma Kai asked curiously.
"Brother, you're stupid!" Sister Xiaoxia came to the side and poked Ma Kai's head with her finger, "Today is your birthday, my mother specially prepared these!" ”
"Really?" Ma Kai shook his head inexplicably, he never seemed to have a birthday in his memory, and he didn't even seem to remember what day his birthday was. I only remember watching their children celebrate their birthdays when I was helping the families of wealthy community leaders. But that time other people's children's birthdays seem to be far less than the dinner prepared by the mother today.
"Don't talk about it, Akai and Xiaoxia, sit down to eat. Rest early after eating, your brother is tired! Mom sat down with her children. A family of three sits together and eats happily, perhaps the greatest happiness pursued by every family in this era is to sit together and eat a full meal as a family.
"Mom, I really want to forget something......" Ma Kai, who was extremely happy and gulping down the food made by his mother, suddenly burst out of a sentence without a head.
"Akai, you're so tired. Go to bed early after eating and don't overthink it. Mom said pityingly.
"yes, brother. You work three jobs a day, and you must be so tired that you faint. The family is here, what else does it matter? Sister Xiaoxia has always said coquettishly, but Ma Kai knows that she feels sorry for herself.
"No, it really seems like there's something very important that I have forgotten, it's very important!" Ma Kai's heart became more and more uneasy, the more his mother and sister told him not to care, the more he cared very much.
The room fell silent, and neither mother nor sister spoke or even looked at Ma Kai. Gradually, everything around me became blurred, and the scene began to change, as if it was back to that familiar place, Observatory 1108!
"Boss, Fat Dong, Bear! I'm back! Ma Kai shouted excitedly, his mind cleared up, this is Observation Post 1108, the place where countless resentments have been cursed, Observation Post 1108 of the Military Prison. But here are his brothers!
"Boss, Fat Dong, Bear! Where are you? I'm coming, you guys come out quickly! No one responded to Mackay's call, and he was so anxious that he sprang around. Gradually, the scene began to change again, no longer the clean and tidy Observatory 1108, but bullet holes, gunsmoke, and the ruins left by the explosion. There was also a corpse of a stealthy snake man who had been killed by a bear and was shattered by a bear, and continued to emerge with Ma Kai's footsteps.
The uneasiness in Mackay's heart grew, and he looked around, desperately hoping to find his brother, but the results were often cruel.
"Bear! Bear! Where are you? Ma Kai called out to the bear, who usually took the most care of him.
"Ma Kai, are you here? I'm here, come here! The bear's voice came faintly from the corner. Ma Kai happily followed the prestige, but after only one glance, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground!
I saw the bear lying upright on the ground, not wearing the full-coverage exoskeleton armor "Endeavor - Original Model", you can see that his sturdy body has been burned and corroded by snake venom, and half of his body has become white bones, staring at Ma Kai with a pair of white eyes, the corners of his mouth do not move but make an emotionless voice: "Ma Kai, you are back, you have hurt me so badly, but you have finally returned to Observatory 1108." ”
"No, I ...... I didn't want to hurt you! Ma Kai screamed and crawled to his feet, turned and fled! It's a pity that every few steps, I see that Ji Fat Dong is pierced by those fleshy tentacles and hangs in the air.
"Stinky boy, it's finally time for you, I'm dead, and the bear and the boss are also killed by you. You die easily, a bullet doesn't know anything, it's too cheap for you! It's not fair, you have to suffer all over again! Fat Dong smiled and said to Ma Kai gloomily.
"No, don't do that, I didn't want to hurt you, I'm your brother!" Ma Kai cried out in pain as he held his head.
"Ma Kai, are you here? You summoned me, do you remember? A soft voice came, and Ma Kai looked in horror, only to see the succubus who had brought about the destruction of No. 1108 looking at him with a light smile. The face like an angel preserves the heart of this poisonous snake and scorpion; The black wings cover the body of the ****, and it is the face that is half covered by the pipa, which can be described as the ultimate temptation.
But when Makai saw her, he ran away like a demon from the abyss. This succubus was not only the culprit responsible for the destruction of Observatory 1108, but also the embodiment of the evil in his heart, which was drawn to him by his ignorance and untemptation. She is the evidence that he killed his brother and caused the fall of the entire 1108 Observatory!
"Don't run, haven't you always liked me? Don't you want to see me? The succubus spoke softly behind her, her voice as soft and pure as her appearance, as if it were a representation of innocence and dirt. But Ma Kai will not make a second mistake, he will not be deceived by her again, he just wants to escape from this terrible monster as soon as possible, and he does not want to see her again.
Ma Kai desperately wanted to escape, but he couldn't, the feeling of powerlessness was similar to that of a drunk person, top-heavy and limb floating. "Whoosh......" There were a few soft sounds, and it was a few tentacle-like flesh roots, which stretched out from behind the succubus, easily entangled Ma Kai, and tied him to death.
"Let go of me! You monster, let me go! Ma Kai roared.
"Don't go, Mackay. Aren't we good friends? Didn't you always want to play with me? Didn't you want me to take you out of that place at Observation Post 1108? Isn't it what you want if I go and destroy No. 1108, the wrong prison and set you free? Now why did you run away from me? The succubus looked aggrieved.
"Brute! You monster, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you all!" Ma Kai roared, but the succubus's tentacles tightened more and more, and he couldn't break free at all!
At that moment, a powerful arm reached over and grabbed Ma Kai, forcibly pulling him out of the tentacle entanglement. Those tentacles that were impossible to break free from were also powerless to fall as if they had encountered a nemesis.
"Boss! Is it the boss? Boss, you're still alive! It's really good...... "The owner of that hand is none other than the stationmaster of Observatory 1108, Zhao Gang, the eternal "boss" in Ma Kai's heart! Seeing him, Ma Kai couldn't help but whimper!
"Hey, hey!" The not-so-tall figure turned around and gave Ma Kai a teasing smile. Who else could that person be if it wasn't Zhao Gang, "Stinky boy, how can there be anyone in this world who can't die, the boss has already died." It's just that I don't worry about you, so I'm coming back to see it! I didn't expect you kid to be so uncompetitive, and you were bewitched by a little succubus and you didn't have a few words! ”
Ma Kai touched his tears and said happily: "Boss, you are a liar. You're not dead, your hands are hot. Take me away, I don't know where to go by myself! ”
"Haha......" Zhao Gang smiled and pulled Ma Kai forward, not far away was their separate escape passage at that time, "Where are you going?" I don't care where you go! It's good to go anywhere, don't mess around here. The only person who didn't die in No. 1108 was you, and it was enough for me and Fat Dong to be here. You've got to live well, and don't forget that you promised us to go home to see your mother, to go home, remember! ”
"Boss, I remember it all. I remember swearing to avenge you! Kill all these brutes! I did it, and the group promised to avenge our Observatory 1108, and they will! Ma Kai exclaimed excitedly.
Although Ma Kai met Long Zhan and Wendi for the first time, and they had not known each other for a long time, he intuitively felt that this group of mysterious soldiers had great strength, not only from the giant weapons they carried, but also from their own fearless temperament.
"Silly boy, who wants you to avenge us? How many pounds and taels do you have, others don't know, and the boss doesn't know? What else can you do but be stupid? Zhao Gang, as at that time, pushed Ma Kai into the escape passage and closed the door casually. Ma Kai wanted to resist, but he couldn't do it at all, this scene was like a video replay, the body naturally obeyed, and there was no way to disobey at all.
Zhao Gang, who was standing outside the door, lit a cigarette, looked at Ma Kai calmly, and said, "Live well, go home and take care of your mother." We don't want you to avenge our revenge, at that time, I just wanted you to live, I forced you to make that oath, I didn't take it seriously, you don't want to do stupid things, live well, and you will live up to my sacrifice and that of Fat Dong! With that, he exhaled a puff of smoke and waved his hand leisurely at Ma Kai to signal goodbye.
"Don't, boss, let's go together, don't leave me, don't leave me without you, ......" Ma Kai could only watch as Zhao Gang's back turned to leave was engulfed by endless flames, and the entire base of Observatory 1108 ushered in the final explosion in a sea of fire!
