Through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, you can see the scene of the forest lake in winter: in the faint morning light, the lake is sparkling, and occasionally a wild duck flapps its wings across the water, making the sound of "blablah" wings across the water. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The mottled shadows of the trees sway with the breeze on the surface of the lake, the "rustling" sound of the rubbing branches and the "catalpa" chirping of the birds contrast with each other, and the people by the window close their eyes and rest their minds, holding a broken porcelain teacup in their little fingers and gently swaying, enjoying the wonderful music of nature.

Poof, poof.

Only the sound of the central ventilation device above the head exhaling regularly every few minutes is quite picturesque, as if deliberately reminding the image seen in front of you that it is just an illusion.

Poof, poof.

A voice from the intercom interrupted the morning tea time of the person by the window: "Lord, the person you want has brought." ”

The man at the window opened his eyes: "Oh, please let him in." "It's a bit of a male and female voice.

"Yes..." The voice in the intercom seemed a little embarrassed for some reason: "But it's a little difficult... ”

Before the words fell, the gate was slammed open, and several commandos were trying to organize to prevent the people in the middle from breaking through.

"Let me go! I'm going to save my companion! ”

"We were ordered to bring you back to see the president, don't know what to do!"

From the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling windows, it can be seen that the person who is surrounded in the middle is Hong Yuesheng, who is wearing a mecha pilot suit and has black and white messy short hair.

"Hey! Be honest!!" A commando tried to hold Hong Yuesheng's head down from the front, but he hit his head in the face, and he fell to the ground on his back with a muffled scream.

"You guy!" Seeing that his teammates were injured, several other commandos jumped up, angrily swung the butt of the submachine gun and smashed it down, Hong Yuesheng endured the first few heavy blows, found the right opportunity, dodged a blow and grabbed a gun shaft, grabbed it violently, raised it to block the next wave of attacks, and then quickly counterattacked. Compared with the previous pure fighting courage and ruthlessness, after the professional tactical training received in the US-Asia Alliance in the past year, Hong Yuesheng's fighting is now more skillful, especially with weapons in hand, and it is a product of Meda Busuya, it is easy to use, like a tiger with wings, even if the opponent is overwhelming, after a few rounds, he was still knocked down by Hong Yuesheng one by one, but only the last one to jump into the encirclement, the commando captain wearing a tactical helmet with face protection is vigorous, waving his hand at Hong Yuesheng's face is a blow, Hong Yuesheng dodged on his back, but he was inevitably carried, There are four long claw marks left on the face.

After the two dismantled back and forth a few times, they were finally caught by Hong Yuesheng and hit the commando captain's helmet with the butt of the gun, and the helmet fell to the ground in response.

"Captain!" The commando next to him exclaimed.

Long black hair fell from the flying helmet like a scattered wave. Behind the strands of hair is a bony Yaning female face, which attracts more attention than the slightly more beautiful face, whether it is on the nose, brow bone, lips or on the right ear, the ubiquitous steel ring, and the sharp eyes with dark eyeliner tattoos.

Seeing that the gun was on a woman, Hong Yuesheng hesitated when he moved, and with this effort, the hand of the commando captain holding the short dagger of the steel ring control had also reached his ear.

"Don't let go of Mr. Hong yet, there's no courtesy!" The neutral voice of the person by the window came from outside the crowd, although the tone was still soft, but there was irrefutable majesty, and the team members who wanted to rush up to help had to stop when they heard the sound. Only the female captain of the nail ring still refused to put down the dagger in her hand.

"President!" "President!" Before the person arrived, the aromatic fragrance of the perfume had already filled the air, and the team members all bowed to the comer.

"We're meeting again, Mr. Hong!"

Hong Yuesheng looked up at the speaker, but was surprised.

"Every time you visit the Spring Orchid Club, you are still so energetic! Hehehehe~"

With the soft laughter, the person by the window had already arrived in front of Hong Yuesheng.

"Ami?!" Hong Yuesheng called out unexpectedly.

The speaker was dressed in a tailor-made tunic and was thin, holding a handkerchief in his slender fingers. Not only does the face not need to be worn for a moment, but it also has a white foundation on it, and the pink eyeshadow spreads from the corner of the slender Danfeng eyes to the eyebrow bone...

Ami - used to manage and dispose of the largest gang in the old city, the "Harunogan Kaikan", and diverted stolen goods, and also took charge of the sex business on Harunoarashi Street as Mama-san. After Hong Yuesheng and Nakahisa destroyed the Haruniran Hall a year ago and killed the former president, Ami once helped the two of them evade the pursuit of the Revival Society and reach the junction with the manta ray.

But Hong Yuesheng never thought that such a feminine man in the past would take over the position of President of Chunzhilan a year later.

"Mr. Hong, your subordinate White Tiger was also a member of Chunzhilan before, if it weren't for the serious situation, we wouldn't leave our own people alone. If you have walked through the Santu River and returned, you should understand it when you think about it. ”

Although Hong Yuesheng was emotional, Ami's words hit the nail on the head, and he understood that what Ami said was the truth. Hong's hand holding the gun kept trembling, and he finally put the gun down.

"Bastard!!" Hong Yuesheng couldn't suppress the remorse in her heart for losing the white tiger and yelled.

"It's right to vent, but I have long known that Mr. Hong is a reasonable person." Ami giggled while covering her mouth with a handkerchief, and gently raised her other hand, brushed the hand of the female captain of the nail ring with the dagger, and gently pressed it down. Seeing that the opponent had put down his weapon, the female captain finally stopped insisting, raised her hand hatefully to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and retreated.

"Ami, what the hell is going on here?"

Waiting for the commandos to disperse, Hong Yuesheng asked.

"Hehehe, that's a tough question." Ami said quietly, "What's going on here?

Reminiscent of:

What is it

Who caused what happened here? ”

Ami pressed the button on the mahogany desk, and a few interference lines flashed in the morning scene of the forest lake in the winter on the floor-to-ceiling window, and it turned out that the previous natural scenery was just an electronic image generated by the holographic background wall, and when the mirror gradually faded, only the regular central ventilation device "poof, poof, poof, poof" exhalation, and the city outside wrapped in a thick pink mist-

It was supposed to be a great place to get a bird's-eye view of Harunoran Street in the red-light district, but now you can see a dark street where even the morning light is obscured by fog, and groups of dried corpses follow the trajectory of the convoy, staggering around the location of the Harunolan Department Store.

"Now you can know how much risk we took for the sake of Mr. Hong."

Walking in the forefront, a tall, thin corpse whimpered, staggering into the range of about three hundred meters from the Haruniran Department Store, the dark red laser under his feet was touched, followed by the white dilapidated shopping mall upstairs window quickly lowered, and the heavily armed machine gunners sitting on automatic seats and their heavy machine guns were sent out of the window.

The machine gunner, facing the far north, raised his left hand and silently stretched out three fingers, two, one...

When his hand was lowered, the head of the tall and thin corpse exploded, and then the other machine gunners also opened the tongue of fire in their hands, and the high-speed bullets cut countless light marks in the mist, shattering the bones of the dried corpse that had entered the safe range. Despite this, the dried corpses that were added in the follow-up were still endless.

On the huge display opposite Aramco's mahogany table, the number representing the base's energy source rapidly dropped as the gunfire outside.

"We have very limited supplies," Ami looked at the ever-changing numbers, "since Young Master Nakahisa and Mr. Hong left a year ago, this pink smoke has turned the old city into a living hell, and we, the few survivors, can only be cautious everywhere in order to fight the danger outside. ”

"What are those dry corpses that attacked us?"

"It's ~water~ghost." Ami's slow answer was incredible.

"Water ghosts?" Hong Yuesheng didn't understand, although since the celebration of the dead a few days ago, the symbols of the Santu River and the Ferry of the Dead have been appearing constantly.

"According to ancient legends, when disaster strikes, just as everyone faces life and death, the way you choose to survive it will determine one's future fate.

The chosen ones, such as you, will be able to board the ferry and go to the new life... ”

Hong Yuesheng guessed that the so-called ferry that Ami was talking about was the manta ray amphibious boat that carried him to Mirage New City at that time.

"But most people, poor and lowly like us, are not so lucky." Ami continues to tell his story: "However, to survive a disaster is to pay a "boat fare", and even if a soul without a passage fee is boarded, it will be thrown into the Santu River. Those souls who fall into the water will never have a chance to go ashore, and can only become water ghosts in the Santu River...

The pink mist burned as soon as it touched the human body, and the flesh and grease of the flesh and grease were burned out and had seeped into the bones," Ami said as she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, looking at the victims she described as "water ghosts" coming downstairs with a look of disgust: "Most of the people in the old city have been eroded by this poisonous mist that can corrode souls, and they have become not humans, ghosts are not ghosts, that is, they are not humans, nor are they relatively mature biochemical weapon breeders like Yaksha, The pain to the bone has made them instinctively jealous of other souls with blood and fresh flesh, and jealousy brings hatred that makes them eager to pull the other survivors into the water and become "water ghosts" like them—that's what you've seen before. ”

“。。。。。。” Hong Yuesheng was speechless after hearing this, for this year he had only heard in the new city that after the rebellion on the Alliance Day was suppressed, the old city had been rebuilding and had refused visitors, but he never imagined that this was the case.

"But how do you know I'm back?"

"After the disaster, most of the things were destroyed, but there were still some remnants of equipment, such as monitors in some areas, that were still functioning. Luckily, we didn't have many guests to keep an eye on this year, and you were the first to return. ”

Hong Yuesheng looked around the room, and sure enough, in addition to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows that can play electronic natural images and the display screen that records the energy of the building, there are also many ordinary TV-sized surveillance screens on both sides of the room, showing some real-time monitoring of the streetscape, including the temple where Hong Yuesheng and Baihu were previously besieged.

"But why are you risking the water ghost to help me? Hong Yuesheng is still puzzled by this -- the white tiger who was obviously abandoned was not the target of Aramco's rescue, and Hong Yuesheng a year ago was just a street gangster begging for a living.

"Disasters bring destruction, but they also bring new life, and everything will always be toppled and then built again. Everywhere Mr. Hong went, there were always disasters and people died, but only you, Your Excellency, survived. Ami showed a weird and charming smile again, "We are all gamblers, and I put the bet on you~"

Ami said, waving back to everything in front of her - despite the appearance of a dilapidated shopping mall, the inside of the Spring Orchid Hall is a traditional Yaning-style opulence. "Thanks to Mr. Hong and Young Master Zhongjiu, I have the opportunity to ascend to the throne, and this is the reward I got from my bet."

Ami paused, "Having said all this, I have a question of my own: Why did Mr. Hong come back?" ”

"I met Liu Yuetai and his revival society again in Xincheng, I want to know the truth." Hong Yuesheng was as straightforward as ever.

"Truth?。。。 There are some things that you still don't know, curiosity kills cats, I think you've heard of it, right? ”

"Now that you and the Spring Orchid Club help me, I will be one step closer to the truth."

“。。。。。。” Ami turned her back to Hong Yuesheng this time and looked at the pink street outside the floor-to-ceiling window: "I have already helped Mr. Hong twice, why do you think I will help you a third time?" ”

"I'm sure you can't help me for free, right?"

Although he couldn't see Ami's expression, Hong Yuesheng was sure that he must have shown that feminine smile again.

"I noticed that the equipment used by your commandos came from Meda Busua, and I believe that before the Confederate Day riots, no matter what form it takes, the Spring Lan Guild must have had a lot of unknown connections with the Asian and American governments." Zhong Jiu must be very clear about this, Hong Yuesheng thought secretly: "But now this connection must be severed, and I can be a bridge between this." ”

Ami turned his head, Hong Yuesheng knew that he hit the point, so he continued: "Help me find the Revival Society, which can not only allow me to lure away the "water ghost" again, but also if I survive, I can re-establish the underground cooperation between you and the Meiya government, I don't know if this gamble is not a loss, Ami, do you want to play another game?" ”

After Hong Yuesheng finished speaking, Ami suddenly let out a shrill laugh, "Hehehehe, I really didn't misunderstand Mr. Hong!" Shibei three days, when you want to be impressed! I remember when I met you a year ago, although you were already tainted with the color of legend, but after all, you were just a ragged samurai, and now, when you stand here, you are not only noble, but also a discerning gambler! He shook the handkerchief in his hand, his movements were charming, and the smell of perfume rippled in the air: "Good! Am I not greedy, then I'll bet on you again! ”

When the elevator of the equipment depot of the Spring Lan Hall was opened again, Hong Yuesheng was already in the re-fully charged and fully armed Lionheart King Mecha, not only that, but the mecha was also carried with a special weapon backpack, as for what was in the backpack, it was not visible.

"The Commando Captain will send you out of the Harun no Lan Department Store," Ami said under the mech.

The female captain of the nail ring control let out a reluctant "hum", but she was still holding a machine gun and was ordered to escort Hong Yuesheng.

"But after that, it's up to you."

"I've always been alone." Hong Yuesheng replied, Lionheart's blood-red eyes lit up, and the mecha started pacing into the elevator.

"Mr. Hong." Before the elevator was about to close, Ami suddenly stopped him. Hong Yuesheng turned the upper body of the body to look at Ami.

"I wish the dragon slayer warriors a triumphant return." Ami said with a smile, with the sound of the engine turning, the elevator closed between Hong Yuesheng and Ami and drove down.

Ami looked at the elevator and muttered to herself:

"In the story of the dragon slayer, although the warrior killed the evil dragon, when he saw the dragon's lair covered with gold and silver treasures, he also sat on the corpse, looking at the twinkling jewels in fascination, and couldn't take his eyes off it, slowly growing scales on his back, and his body gave birth to tails and tentacles... Eventually, he also became a dragon. Mr. Hong, what will happen to you? Hehehehe~"
