Chapter 17: Parting
Unbeknownst to the Renaissance Society, when Imperial Park was built, the Imperial Family secretly built an underwater tunnel connecting the artificial central lake and canal in Imperial Park. Originally, this was Yaning I in case he had an unforeseen need, but with the defeat of the Asian-American War and the subsequent defeat, the Yaning royal family almost no longer had influence in the land of New Yaning, and there were fewer and fewer people who knew this secret, but they didn't expect it to be used by Zhongjiu this time.
Shortly after Hong Yuesheng left the Spring Lan Hall in the morning, Zhong Jiu finally waited for a reply from the Mirage New Town—as the core control center of the Meda Busoya Empire, the Mirage New City had a more complete military force.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the rescue plane "Manta Ray" arrived at the bottom of the lake in the artificial center of the Imperial Park, and Zhong Jiu was finally arranged by the mother of the Revival Association, San Ami, to pass through the secret passage in the park and successfully delivered the "Devil Ray", but Zhong Jiu ignored the dissuasion of the rescue captain, and even after the agreed time, he still insisted on waiting until Hong Yuesheng arrived.
At this time, the "manta ray" was stretching its mechanical wings and shuttling close to the ground surrounded by the revival society, and the huge whirlwind and impact brought by the wings continued to blow down the surrounding vehicles. After a period of chaos, the revival regrouped and besieged the "manta rays" with the tactics of jackals gnawing on elephants—vehicles and people who were constantly joining the war zone were responsible for long-range shooting, and the newly arrived yaksha jumped on the backs of the "manta rays" and frantically bitten them. Even though it has a powerful power system, the "Manta Ray" is a rescue aircraft rather than a main combat model after all, and the ammunition has bottomed out after a moment of fierce fighting, although the armor on the body is thicker, but it has been scarred, and the reason for the constant swaying and rolling to try to shake off the yaksha that climbed on the back is that it stumbles and stumbles, like a trapped beast.
In the cockpit of the "Manta Ray", several pilots on the circular console turned out to be all young women of Meda Busoya, all of them were wearing black tight-fitting diving suits, outlining the body lines exquisitely, and the upper left arm was printed with the national emblem of Meda Busoya - a flat logo representing mechanical civilization, but there was an extra touch of red on the top to represent the particularity of the detachment to which they belonged.
In charge of the team was a young girl of sixteen or seventeen, with red hair that looked like a sunset before sunset, and her hair curled like a tumbling fiery cloud. The cheeks are covered with freckles, the bridge of the nose is high, the eye sockets are deeply sunken, and the dark brown and bright eyes are full of anger:
“You_said,Only“A_few”vehicles_will_follow_him,“Maybe。 ”
(You say "probably" only a few cars will follow,)"
She angrily complained to Zhongjiu on the screen, but she used honorifics, obviously there was a difference in identity. On the screen in front of her, multiple screens began to ignite red alarms in various areas of the body due to the heavy blow.
“But_now_we’re_facing_a_fully_equipped_Army!!
(But now there's a legion!!) )”
At this time, Nakahisa was at the unloading hatch of the open bottom floor of the "Manta Ray", sitting in a wheelchair due to his injuries, and behind him was a female team member who was also wearing a black diving suit with a touch of red Meda Busoya logo, but she was tall and strong, and the muscles wrapped in the tightsuit were clear. Even if Nakaku stood up, the woman would be about a head taller than him. Due to the rapid rotation of the "manta ray" and the opening of the bottom hatch, a strong centrifugal force was generated, but the female team members firmly grasped the handrail on the wall with one hand and pressed Nakahisa's shoulder with the other hand to maintain the balance between the two. The red-haired captain's grumbling voice came from the speaker, but Zhong Jiu was unmoved:
“Well,Aliya,What_do_you_want_me_to_say?
(Well, Alia, what are you going to let me say?) )”
A stray bullet from outside nearly hit Nakakusu through the open hatch, and he protected his eyes with his hand to avoid being injured by the sparks from the bullet.
“we_got_unlucky.
(We're out of luck.) )”
He focused on the pickup truck carrying Hong Yuesheng and the motorcycle driven by a strange woman following below, and waved his hand down:
“Keep_going_down! Put_down_the_deck!”
(Keep going down!) Release the deck! )”
The red-haired Alia shook her head, there was no way, and said to the tall subordinate who was defending Zhongjiu:
“Tank,Make_sure_he’s_safe.
(Tank, protect him.) )”
Subsequent maneuvering the "Manta Ray" adventure continues to descend while spending landing decks from the bottom. Through the images transmitted by the camera under the rescue machine, she looked at Hong Yuesheng and his party who were driving pickup trucks and motorcycles trying to chase the manta rays, frowned, and muttered alone:
“Just_for_a_Yanin_boy,is_it_worth_it?
(Just for a Yaning boy, is it worth it?) )”
Despite her reluctance, in order to allow the pickup to enter the manta ray, the red-haired Alia manipulated the manta ray's belly close to the ground, so that the manta ray's head was buried in the thick snow, like a forklift, shoveling huge snow flakes and dirt into the air along with an unfortunate Fuxing jeep in front of her.
Hong Yuesheng and his entourage saw that the tail hatch of the manta fish in front of them had landed, they increased the accelerator, regardless of the huge snow slapped on their faces, while dodging the burning vehicles that were crashed by the manta fish and the wreckage fragments with blue electricity left and right, while trying to rush into the manta tail airtight cabin, inside Zhongjiu waved his hand to Hong Yuesheng in his direction.
Keep running, keep running, can't stop.
The prince who climbed out of his overturned car finally came back from his trance. His head was bleeding, his neat uniform was crumpled and torn in several places, and his previous struggle in the snow had left him covered in mud and blood, just like he had been a day before.
The pickup chasing the manta ray was rushing over from the direction not far from the prince, and he saw Hong Yuesheng standing on the pickup, and the engine fire of the manta ray in front of him reflected Hong Yuesheng's face and body, as if he was wearing a cloak made of flames for him, and the god of war chasing the sun in a chariot, and next to the chariot, there was a goddess chasing him.
"Prince, you are awesome!"
"Prince, you are better than others in everything you do, this is a genius!"
"Crown Prince, you will be the new hope of the Revival Society and even the Yaning royal family in the future, this is your mission!"
"Prince !!"
"Prince, Prince, Prince......"
The prince's mind quickly flashed with the praise, definition, and mission of others who had been to him since he was a child......
Haven't I always been on top and being chased? But in just one day, such a huge identity reversal, this feeling of being dropped down before before, made him jealous in his heart. He saw a jeep passing by and shooting at the manta ray, so he rushed forward like crazy. He jumped into the driver's seat of the car, dragged the driver out of the car without hesitation, and steered the car himself towards the manta ray and the pickup.
"Prince!! Be careful! Kiki, who had just climbed out of the upside-down car behind him, shouted at the prince, but the prince ignored him completely.
The pickup truck was already very close to the deck where the manta rays landed close to the ground,
"Increase the throttle !!" Nakahisa in the cabin was shouting at the white tiger.
The white tiger, who had lost too much blood, was already confused at this time, he rolled his eyes, and the person finally lay on the steering wheel, and finally fell unconscious, and the pickup instantly deflected direction.
"White Tiger!!" In horror, the green snake quickly reached out and pulled back the steering wheel, let the pickup get back on the right track, and tried to step on the foot of the white tiger stepping on the accelerator. Just in time for a snowy slope, the pickup was volleyed upside down and finally rushed inside the manta ray. But due to the large inclination angle of the inclined deck, the wheels of the pickup truck are desperately slipping on the deck.
"Bang!" With a bang, the pickup truck engine overload was reimbursed!
Thick white smoke billed from the hood, and the car moved backwards. It's almost about to fall off the deck again.
Zilala!
A continuous, high-pitched reverse grinding sound finally stopped the pickup from sliding back. The green snake looked up and saw that it was the tank girl who grabbed the front of the pickup with one hand, and grabbed the deputy in the ship with the other hand to prevent the pickup from sliding backwards.
However, the force of the pickup's backward slide was too heavy, and even though the tank girl tried her best to expose her muscles, she couldn't completely stop the pickup's retreat in the future.
At this time, Zhongjiu also pulled up the handbrake of the wheelchair, and pulled the pickup with the handle tank girl, and finally stabilized the pickup.
The tank girl turned her head to look at Nakahisa, deeply surprised by the performance of this cynical man who had previously been in a wheelchair like a disability.
Zhong Jiu gritted his teeth, and did not forget the iconic Chong Tank, blinked his right eye frivolously, and popped out a few words of praise that were yin and yang:
"Hey! Your figure is really not in vain! ”
Even if it was a compliment, it didn't sound so pleasant, and the tank girl glared at Zhongjiu while dragging the car with her teeth bared.
Hong Yuesheng turned around and rushed to the open trunk to help Feng Die—Feng Die's and Lingzi's motorcycles had not yet rushed to the deck.
"Sister Fengdie, come on! That's just one step away! ”
He stretched out his hand to grab the phoenix, and the phoenix also stepped on the accelerator and leaned forward. Lingzi also wanted to help as much as she could, stretching out her short arm to reach her brother.
When Hong Yuesheng and Feng Die's hands were almost caught, several bullets came over and almost hit Hong Yuesheng, and the two of them were separated.
It turned out that the prince who rushed up from behind, he drove in one hand and held a submachine gun in the other hand to fire hysterically at the manta ray and Hong Yuesheng, and at the same time there were words in his mouth:
"I float in the cruel sea of life;
The raging waves are sweeping,
the remnants of my life;
I am determined to cut through the noisy waves,
Sail to the other side of the sun's sinking! ”
The crown prince sang the oath of the Yaning Empire in the past, and did not forget to continue to spray the tongue of fire in his hand,
"Death ends everything, but before the end
I'll be happy to greet you
Thunder and lightning and sunshine, until death rests! ”
The red-haired Alia, who was watching everything happening below through the monitor, shook her head,
“These_mad_men…”
(These lunatics.) )”
She turned to the other drivers and gave orders:
“Turn_to_the_central_lack,be_ready_to_jump!
(Turn to the center lake and get ready for the jump action!) )”
“Copy!”
“Rogar!”
(Roger!) )”
The manta rays began to fan their triangular fins harder than before, and turned towards the central lake. However, by this time, the reinforced Renaissance armored vehicles had already built an impregnable wall surrounded by three rows of vehicles on the edge of the central lake. If the three-layer armored car is too thick and hard to rush over, it will not work, and if it wants to jump into the lake again, the manta ray can only roll into the air and cross the "Great Wall" of armored vehicles by flapping its wings with enough power to jump.
The prince realized the manta ray's plan, and he switched from desperately shooting at Hong Yuesheng to maneuvering the jeep to rush towards the manta ray's birdwing left fin, and when the left fin was hemming, he slammed on the accelerator and drove to press the left fin. The manta rays struggled to shake off the jeep with the power of their huge engines, but as soon as the left fin was lowered again, it was immediately pressed against the prince's car.
"Yaning's Glory!" The prince screamed frantically, his face covered with green tendons, and his eyes shone with excitement.
"Prince!" Kiki, who was in the distance, watched the prince take the lead, regardless of life and death to stop the manta rays from jumping, and was so anxious that tears flowed involuntarily.
The "glory of Yaning" is actually not the original creation of the Fuxing Society, and this kind of action representing "resoluteness" is the tradition of the Yaning Continent to fight against strong enemies since ancient times. The power of this action was seen at the end of the Argonian-American War: fifteen years ago, when it was clear that they were powerless, most of the Yaning royals did not choose to surrender to the shame of being tried or banished, but chose the venerable path of "Yanin's glory": the royal family first put on their best clothes and jewelry, and then burned their palaces with their own hands. They brandished the sacred royal scepter on the Yaning coat of arms, and resolutely walked towards the cannon fire of Meda Busoya in waves, towards death.
With the end of the war, a new generation of young people has gradually forgotten the tragedy of that year, and they did not expect to see this ritual again in this bloodstained land fifteen years later.
“Captain!
(Captain)"
The co-pilot of the manta ray shouted to the red-haired alia, and the display in front of her showed that the manta fish was obviously unbalanced in power left and right, and was rushing towards the Great Wall of the Fuxing Society armored car at an oblique angle. If you don't get rid of the vehicle that suppresses the left fin, you will definitely not be able to complete the jump, and the ship will be destroyed.
“Fxxk!” The red-haired Alia also looked ahead, anxious.
"Sister Fengdie! Fast! Grab my hand!! Hong Yuesheng has already leaned out of the pickup almost completely, and if she has a little more, she may fall out.
Tank Girl and Nakahisa tugged at the front of the pickup with all their might.
The voice of the red-haired Alia came from the speaker:
“We_need_close_the_deck_right_now!!
(We need to close the deck right now!!) )”
Although she couldn't understand the language of Meda Busuya, Hong Yuesheng could guess what it meant, "Don't!" Wait a minute! Don't turn it off! It's just a little bit close!! ”
Butterfly kept twisting the motorcycle throttle with her right hand, and she almost got on deck several times, but failed due to the violent swing of the manta ray. She looked at Hong Yuesheng, who was desperately stretching out her hand to her, and the weak Lingzi on her chest, and then looked down at the ring alarm on her ankle, and the ten alarm slots arranged in a ring on it had already shone eight squares.
Her ears echoed in her ears the words of the judge to her when she was released from the Revival Court:
"Military suspect No. 073, Feng Die, as a condition of parole, you are now forced to wear a GPS alarm device. While you are on parole, you are not allowed to leave the area under the jurisdiction of the Renaissance Society, have no contact with prohibited persons, and are not allowed to go to unauthorized places. Once you leave the area where you are allowed to move, the GPS positioning system will detect your location and blow up your alarm device. ”
She gritted her teeth, raised her head to look at Hong Yuesheng, and shouted in the wind: "Yuesheng! ”
With that, she picked up Lingzi in her left hand,
"Sister." Lingzi looked at her, her big eyes reflected the face of a phoenix, one ice blue, the other dark green, and the three-petal mouth was panting one by one.
Feng Die suddenly pushed Lingzi outward, and Lingzi grabbed Feng Die's clothes and took off the hand, but took away the plum blossom that Hong Yuesheng gave to Feng Die in Feng Die's right breast pocket.
Hong Yuesheng hurriedly took the Lingzi who flew over, and then looked at the phoenix butterfly:
"Sister Phoenix......
Lingzi also screamed, turned around and looked behind him, stammering, "Sister...... Sister! ”
"Yuesheng," Feng Die looked at him affectionately, "remember the days we were together, don't come back." ”
"Sister Fengdie?" Hong Yuesheng was stunned.
The phoenix butterfly turned the throttle of the motorcycle in her right hand, twisted the handle away from the tail of the manta fish, and drove in the direction of the jeep driven by the left-fin prince.
"Sister Fengdie!!" Hong Yuesheng understood what was going on, and shouted in a dumb voice: "Sister Fengdie!" You're back! It's just a little bit close!! Sister Phoenix!!! ”
The prince, who was ready to die with the manta ray, suddenly found that the butterfly's car was coming towards him, and the sunlight behind her made her look like a seven-winged angel flying in.
"Butterfly ......" the prince stayed there.
The butterfly collided with the motorcycle and the prince's jeep, tangled together, and then rolled over in sparks, and the wreckage flew into the air and fell apart.
"Prince !!!" Similarly, Kiki on the ground also saw all this, cried and screamed bitterly, and then frantically rushed back to the jeep that was facing the sky before, and reached for the butterfly sniper rifle that he brought from the bottom of the car. She stretched so fast that the steel wreckage of the jeep cut a long cut in her arm, but the rage of anger made her unaware.
“Left_wing’s_power_is_back_to_normal.
(Left-wing momentum returns to normal.) )”
The co-pilot inside the manta ray reports to the red-haired Alia.
“Right_wing_also_works_well.
(The right wing also works fine.) )“
"Good," the red-haired Alia commanded,
“Close_the_deck,then_Jump!”
(I put away the deck and perform a jump!) )”
The manta rays were finally able to flap their wings sharply and rush towards the revival armored convoy, the aft deck began to recover, and the hatch gradually closed. "Don't!" Lingzi was still crying, Hong Yuesheng endured her grief and grabbed Lingzi hard, Lingzi turned her head and grabbed and bit her brother, "No, you can throw her, you can't throw her!" ”
Hong Yuesheng grabbed Lingzi's chest with her other hand, took Lingzi back into her arms, and asked her to turn her back to the direction of the phoenix butterfly wreck.
Zhong Jiu saw the two people kneeling on the gradually closing deck, and Reiko turned from distress at the beginning to crying loudly, while Hong Yuesheng hugged her sister tightly and whimpered in a low voice.
While taking care of the white tiger, the green snake also looked back at Hong Yuesheng, not knowing how to comfort: "The second master ......"
Although Zhong Jiu didn't know Feng Die, he roughly guessed the relationship between Hong Yuesheng and her, he changed his usual flamboyant tongue, but drove the wheelchair close and gently patted Hong Yuesheng's shoulder.
“Brother.
(Brother.) )”
He didn't say anything more, and made a gesture at the tank girl, who stepped forward and turned her wheelchair to push Nakaku back into the airtight cabin. Leaving Reiko to rest her head on her brother and snuggle together.
Kiki finally grabbed the sniper rifle from the wreckage of the car, she turned around and put the gun on the car, opened the scope, and aimed it at the tail of the manta fish, which had already begun to "jump", by this time the deck had basically been retracted, and the hatch was about to close completely by a meter distance. Kiki was fascinated by one eye, put the other eye close to the scope, took a breath, and aimed the crosshair at the face of Hong Yuesheng, who was kneeling on the floor in the hatch......
Bang!
Zhongjiu, Green Snake, and Tank Girl all heard the gunshots behind them and looked back.
The plum blossoms that Hong Yuesheng gave to the phoenix butterfly floated into the air, facing the diamond-shaped snowflakes flying in the air, and shattered.
"Uh......" Hong Yuesheng gasped into the cold air, but there was only suffocating despair and a hoarse voice coming from her throat.
He looked at the Lingzi in his arms, and the snowflakes slowly fell on his sister's face, lips, and the tip of her nose......
He lifted his hand holding his sister's back, blood oozing from his hands.
Hong Yuesheng gently pushed his sister's body away from his chest, and the hole caused by a high-speed sniper bullet ran through Lingzi's back, and then also pierced Hong Yuesheng's chest. Blood poured out of his sister's chest and mixed with his own blood, unable to distinguish from each other.
"Brother......" The younger sister looked at herself, and finally called herself, and spit out a white mist from her mouth. Her voice was like snowflakes in the sky, drifting farther and farther away. The two eyes of different colors begin to lose their luster and turn gray.
Hong Yuesheng felt a strange popping sound in his body, as if something was frozen and shattered. It was a terrible cold winter day.
Kiki on the ground also took her eyes off the sniper scope, she was never a master shooter, and every shooting training in the past ended in anger. As always, her hands had just trembled and she had deviated from her original goal. Killing a deformed little girl was not what she expected. She stood there, her face covered with tears, not only because she had lost the crown prince, but because she had experienced for the first time the sin of killing an innocent life with her own hands.
The red-haired Alia also saw what was happening through the monitor, and she sighed and gestured to her men.
The manta rays tumbled and spun into the air, accompanied by beautiful somersaults, over the steel walls forged by the Renaissance Society's armored vehicles, and a silver curtain of water fell in the sunlight.
With the rupture of his heart, Hong Yuesheng lost all his persistence and strength, his eyes widened, he didn't blink for a moment, he fell backwards, Zhong Jiu ignored the pain of his serious injury, got up from his wheelchair and rushed over to help him, and soon fell down as well. My sister's body flew into the air behind me with the centrifugal force of the manta ray's rotation, and fell out of the cabin the moment the tail hatch closed.
The hatch in front of Hong Yuesheng's eyes closed up and down, and finally only a bright line remained, and then turned into darkness.
The song "Speaking of the Great River" sounded in his ears again:
"Now you say you're lonely,
You cry all night,
All right! You can shed tears for me.
Do you know that I have shed tears for you. ”
"Now, you say you're sorry,
It feels so illusory all along;
I don't think it should have been like that.
All right! You can shed tears for me.
Do you know that I have shed tears for you. ”
"You made me, almost mad, lose my mind,
And you're still gone.
Remember? But I remember what you said on the side of the non-return.
But you tell me that "love" is too vulgar,
You have more ideals.
And now you say you love me,
Come on! Tears flowed for me.
Do you know that I have shed tears for you......"
