Tell Aina and her father to stay a little longer, but the commander can't resist him, so he can only agree.

A few minutes later, Aina herself left Manny's body and walked to Luo Ruzhi's side. Luo Ruzhi hugged her tightly: "Don't be sad, Aina." Although your father is gone, I will take good care of you in his place. ”

"Daddy......" Aina whispered, "Daddy, he's still ......"

Luo Ruzhi couldn't help but hug Aina tighter, her small body trembling in his arms, like a homeless kitten. Luo Ruzhi's heart trembled. Aina's figure once again overlapped with the image of his sister in his memory. Luo Ruzhi forgot about it at this moment. Even if he gave up everything, he would accompany Aina to the end, and he would not leave her alone again.

"Luo Ruzhi, we really can't break through the laser turret area, and we are going to return now." Xiao Yang's voice came from the direction of the main host of the communicator, and suddenly Luo Ruzhi's consciousness was brought back. He hesitated for a moment, but immediately made up his mind again. He was going to wait for Xiao Yang and them to come back and tell them about his decision. Xiao Yang and the other three finally returned. They all looked tired, and it was clear that they were physically and mentally exhausted from the battle. At this time, Luo Ruzhi walked to Xiao Yang's side, calmly told the fact that Manny was dead, and then said: "I'm sorry, I have decided, I will replace Aina's father and take care of Aina with all my energy." Therefore, I am requesting to quit the team and disassociate myself from you. From now on, Captain, you don't have to worry about me at all, and it doesn't matter if I die. ”

Xiao Yang was silent for a while, and then said, "If you regret it now, I can assume that I didn't hear what I said just now." ”

Luo Ruzhi shook his head: "No, what I said just now was serious, please let me leave." ”

"Well, in that case......"

"Wait a minute!" Rena on the side spoke, "Luo Ruzhi must stay and be with us." Of course, the same goes for the one named Aina. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yang cast a puzzled look at Reina. What exactly is Rena's idea?

"Luo Ruzhi, you think too ideally." Rena said to Luo Ruzhi, "Aina was originally a member of the baron's army, how could you take her away?" ”

"You don't have to worry about it. I'll go talk to the baron myself. Luo Ruzhi said.

"Why did you let the Baron go? Besides, now is the time when he needs war personnel. Aina is so capable, the baron naturally hopes that she can serve his life, and it is impossible for you to release someone in a few words. "And if you run away with that child, the Baron will definitely want you, and you'll die a terrible death." ”

"Then I'll figure it out myself. I can't stay anyway. I want to protect Aina, I can't act as a fighting force, I'll hold you back. Luo Ruzhi said.

"You can't put it off if you want to. I don't see you as a companion anymore, and I won't care if I see you in danger. Rena tilted her head, "It's just that if you stay with us, at least we can help you collect the corpse when you die, which is better than exposing you to the field." ”

Only then did Luo Ruzhi realize that Rena was caring about herself, and couldn't help but say, "...... Thank you, Rena. But I ......"

"Big brother, we'll stay with them, okay?" Aina buried her head and said, "I'm so scared, I ......"

"Hehe, it looks like even your Aina wants to stay." Xiao Yang smiled, "Even if you want to leave, you can't help it." ”

Luo Ruzhi sighed, and had to accept the reality of "not being able to leave with Aina". But he still insisted on quitting the team and returning the blinding gun to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang reported to the baron through the communication equipment of the garrison nearby. After talking about the battle situation, Xiao Yang talked about Luo Ruzhi. The baron agreed to accept Luo Ruzhi into his unit as a gunner and commander for tank driver Aina.

The commander transferred a new sonic tank for Aina and Luo Ruzhi. The Commander then asked Aina about the battle.

"I didn't see anything. I didn't know what was going on, and everyone died. Aina's answer was as simple as that.

The commander couldn't ask for any useful information, so he sighed, waved his hand, and handed the tank to Aina. Then Aina and Luo Ruzhi sat in the tank together.

After losing sight of Luo Ruzhi's figure, Xiao Yang looked at Reina: "It's completely unexpected that you will leave him." Rena, is your purpose really that simple? ”

"Trust me. I really left him for everyone's good. Rena changed the subject, "But you have to remember that he is no longer ours, and you don't have to worry about his survival anymore." ”

“…… Of course I do. He has given up his obligation to fight with us, and he has lost his right to be protected by us. Xiao Yang sighed and handed the blinding gun to Jill, "Jill, you can use this thing too." ”

After Jill put away the blind gun, the three of them went to an open space in the garrison camp and sat down, discussing the situation of the battle.

Attempts to break through the laser turret defenses were a complete failure. They used a roundabout tactic, only to encounter a new group of laser turrets on the other side of the mountain. This is endless, and Xiao Yang finally decisively decided to give up.

"I think we'd better leave those turrets alone. Our results have been brilliant, and it is enough to gain the full confidence of the baron. Rena said, "Our main purpose is to come to Yuan Hu, and there is no point in working hard for the Baron for the time being. ”

"Well, that's right." Xiao Yang held his forehead, "But just now the commander said that Yuan Hu was missing again, which is really troublesome." ”

"Let's go to the place where Yuan Hu disappeared. Maybe I'll find Yuan Hu this time. Jill began.

Xiao Yang nodded. That's a good idea.

Xiao Yang and Rena went to the commander and told him that the three of them were going to the place where Yuan Hu disappeared on the Eastern Front. The commander was already worried about this matter, but Xiao Yang took the initiative to ask for help, so he naturally couldn't ask for it, so he agreed repeatedly. He was also afraid that Xiao Yang would regret it, and immediately said that he was willing to send troops to protect them.

"There is no need to send other troops. Just send Aina with us. Rena said.

"No problem, no problem." The commander nodded repeatedly, "Lord Baron, Aina is now your subordinate. As long as you like, you can order her however you want. ”

After leaving the command center, Rena took the initiative to say to Xiao Yang: "It is also necessary to ask Aina to accompany us, because she is the only survivor of the battle on the Eastern Front just now, and we must bring her so that we can understand the situation." ”

Xiao Yang smiled: "There's no need to be in such a hurry to explain. Of course I know that. You're not doing anything wrong, and I'm not going to object. ”

"That's good." Rena also seemed much more relaxed.

Xiao Yang looked at the east that was revealing the whiteness of the fish's belly: "I hope we can see Yuan Hu this time." ”

"I hope so." Rena prayed from the bottom of her heart.

Rena spread her bone wings and led Xiao Yang and Jill from the air along the eastern front. The bunkers along the way have been replaced with the banner of Baron Harkenny; There was no damage on their crystal walls, and it was obvious that Yuan Hu also used the method of destroying them from the inside. Yuan Hu can use the kind of huge flesh spikes that rise from the ground, and it is obvious that he used this skill to make all the people in the bunker into hedgehogs. If you think about it carefully, this Yuan Hu's skill is really useful.

The road was so quiet that you couldn't see a single gerbil or a sand rabbit. The sand was littered with the traces of the army's march. Originally, the baron's army was still relatively disciplined, and these car tracks and human footprints would be so messy, perhaps because of the hasty withdrawal of the army just now.

After walking forward for about half an hour, Aina's sonic tank stopped.

Luo Ruzhi's voice came from the communication headset: "Aina said this is it, captain." ”

"Hehe, I'm not your captain anymore, just call my name." Xiao Yang smiled bitterly.

“…… I'm sorry, I'm used to shouting, and I can't change it for a while. After saying this, Luo Ruzhi fell silent.

Xiao Yang didn't have the heart to think about Luo Ruzhi. He let Rena land on the ground and take a closer look at her surroundings. There are very few Odos fortifications in this area, so to speak, it is just an ordinary sandy area. What's even more concerning is that there are no corpses or wreckage of military vehicles on the ground, and it is completely impossible to tell that this is the scene of several tragic battles.

"Is it really here? Aina must be mistaken, right? Xiao Yang asked Luo Ruzhi suspiciously.

Aina said yes. The reason why they can't see anything is because there are sandworms that have swallowed them all. Luo Ruzhi relayed Aina's words.

There was indeed a bulge of the kind caused by a sandworm not far away, but it could also be caused by a sand boat.

"Will the sandworms come so fast?" Xiao Yang walked in disbelief, and took a step forward. He suddenly felt something under the sand tugging at his feet, and immediately summoned his huge arm to the ground and slammed it.

"Ouch, it hurts. We just wanted to say hi. "Someone came out from under the sand. That wide size allows people to see his identity from a distance - Yuan Hu.

After seeing Yuan Hu, Rena pulled Xiao Yang to her side violently, and retreated backwards a full twenty meters away.

"Oh, how did you get so far." Yuan Hu rubbed his head and walked towards Xiao Yang, "Isn't this difficult to speak?" ”

"Stop. If you dare to take one more step forward, I will kill you in no time. Rena growled. Yuan Hu stood in place with a wry smile, not daring to move.

“…… All right. Yuan Hu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Xiao Yang greeted Yuan Hu.

"yes." Yuan Hu nodded and smiled, "It's a blessing that we can still meet here." Did you know? The Wang Fan who has an enmity with us, he has been captured by the living. ”

"Wang Fan?" Xiao Yang raised his eyebrows, "You mean the one who uses the sword?" ”

"Yikes!" Yuan Hu patted his head, "Look at our memory, it's really useless." We haven't said his name yet. That's right, that Wang Fan is the soul envoy with the physique of the 'Sword Immortal', the guy who fought with us before. I heard that the living people had grabbed him with a very powerful prop. That prop is really powerful, Wang Fan can fly with a sword, but he was still caught by them, it's too scary. ”

"We know that, too. The item is called the 'Tiger Prison Bead', and it is a special item that only the stranded can have. Xiao Yang said.

"Stranders? We seem to have heard this word somewhere, but we can't remember it clearly. Yuan Hu said with a serious expression, "Tell us what's going on." ”

Before Xiao Yang could speak, Rena said first, "Why should we tell you?" We didn't decide to work with you. ”

"Oh, that's easy." Yuan Hu laughed heartily, "Let's show you all our abilities now." ”

I saw him make a gesture, and his body began to change wonderfully. In just a few seconds, his body seemed to soften, completely out of human form, and his clothes fell off directly; Then the soft mass transformed into a hard, ugly monster with a hard shell, a bit like a large crab crawling on the ground, with sharp spines on its back.

"Lurkers?" Xiao Yang blurted out.

"That's right. Our physique is the lurker of the Zerg in StarCraft. Because we can dive into the sand and hear the sound of the sand layer accurately, we know about the living people. Yuan Hu's voice came out from the monster, "Actually, we don't like this monster's appearance, this physique was accidentally obtained, and the result can only be like this." ”

After finishing speaking, Yuan Hu changed back into human form and put on his clothes again. He deliberately showed his back to Xiao Yang and them, only to see a number 7230 floating on it.

"This is our rebirth potential. We are the soul seducers who have gone through two obstruction operations. In addition, our Dao has these ......," Yuan Hu said, opening the warehouse space and turning out a mess of weapons and equipment, and even food and water. There are no too special props in it, and it is similar to Xiao Yang and them.

"Alright, don't flip it." Xiao Yang stopped Yuan Hu, "Take it back." ”

"But that big girl still doesn't believe us." Yuan Hu was about to look at Reina, but shouted out in surprise, "Where is the eldest sister?" ”

Xiao Yang also found that Rena was no longer by his side at this time. He suddenly heard a violent friction sound in the air, and hurriedly looked up, only to see that Rena was less than ten meters above Yuan Hu's head, and half of her bone wings turned into a giant knife and slashed down at Yuan Hu's body!

"Bang-" Yuan Hu's body was split into two like this!

"Rena!" Xiao Yang shouted Rena's name and strode forward. However, as if she hadn't heard him at all, Rena continued to attack Yuan Hu with lightning speed; The blades on her bone wings turned into dozens of pieces, ruthlessly cutting Yuan Hu's body. On the other hand, Yuan Hu didn't know what the reason was, and he didn't fight back at all.

Rena's attack speed was like chopping vegetables, and when Xiao Yang arrived at them, Yuan Hu's body had already been chopped into thousands of pieces.

"Stop!" Xiao Yang shouted again. Rena stopped and said, "Don't worry, he won't die just like that." ”

Yuan Hu's body slowly returned to its original state. He smiled wryly at Reina: "Girl, you are so ruthless. I'm afraid that our rebirth potential has been beaten to just over 2,000. ”

As Yuan Hu said, the rebirth potential shown on his back was only 2843. But despite this, Yuan Hu still did not attack Rena in turn, but stood still and did not move.

Xiao Yang hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Rena ...... her"

"It's okay, we can understand her behavior. The rules set by the system for the Soul Envoy are too cruel, and we are likely to kill each other. Therefore, the remaining 7,000 or so points of rebirth potential are a potential threat to you. With our ability to escape, so much rebirth potential allows us to sneak up on you without any scruples when we work together. Even if you fight back, we can escape before we die. Yuan Hu said, "And our rebirth potential is only more than 2,000 now, if we dare to sneak attack you, we won't be able to escape at all." ”

Xiao Yang only then understood Rena's intentions. She is really thoughtful. Although Xiao Yang also considered the possibility of being betrayed by Yuan Hu after cooperating with him, he never thought that Yuan Hu could be restricted in this way.

And what surprised Xiao Yang even more was Yuan Hu's mind. Although he looks like a big grin, he is actually not stupid at all, on the contrary, he can be said to be a little shrewd.

"This Yuan Hu is quite muscular, and his mind is not simple." Rena walked up to Xiao Yang's ear and said to him, "If he resisted just now, I would definitely kill him completely." ”

"Haha, we heard the girl's praise! Seriously, we sometimes have super good brains. Yuan Hu laughed, "Okay, in short, our more than 4,000 rebirth potentials are regarded as a welcome gift for you, and I hope you will cooperate with us in our sincerity." After all, the living people this time are too powerful, and if we fight separately, we will definitely have to die. ”

Rena and Jill had no objections, and Xiao Yang agreed to cooperate with Yuan Hu, and Yuan Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

The two sides began to exchange information. Yuan Hu learned about the Stranders and Tiger Prison Beads, and his face became even more grim. According to him, he has never encountered a situation where the other party is a stranded person and has no experience in dealing with them.

After that, Xiao Yang asked Yuan Hu about the mission information of the living. According to Yuan Hu, the task of the living people this time is to get the Fred-Atreides alliance to get rid of the forces of Hakenny and Odos, so as long as that alliance is bulldozed, it will be no problem.

"Can you be sure of this information? You know, those two living men have promised to serve the Baron, and have now been ordered to attack the Fred-Atreides Alliance. "And if that's the case, why did you come to help Baron Harkenny in his attack on Odos?" Odos shouldn't be the one we're fighting for, it's pointless to us, is it? ”

"Sister, you're asking knowingly. We have come here to gain the Baron's trust. The Baron is also a figure that they can't kill the living, and tying the Baron to us is more conducive to protecting our own safety. Yuan Hu's expression became troubled, "As for why the living people are willing to attack the Fuya Alliance, we don't understand. Did the baron promise them anything? ”

"They want the Baron to find out where we are." Xiao Yang said, "This is also a suspicious point. They have completed their mission, there is no need to kill us all, right? And what is even stranger is that they caught the one with the sword, but did not kill him. ”

"Or how many hooks they're going to catch
