161. Black Dragon Night Attack

The Black Dragon Society really got involved, and the last thing Zhao Li wanted happened. I always thought that the words of that guy before he died were to disturb his mind, but out of caution, he still asked Li Mengdie to pay more attention to it. It seems that this caution is still very necessary.

It's strange, how could that specially trained soldier know such important information? Zhao Li never thought of getting any information from him, all just to attract his teammates while he was alive. I didn't expect that guy to be able to know this level of intelligence.

While rushing back, Zhao Li was thinking. Yes, those special fighters must have the mission of contacting the Black Dragon Society. If it weren't for the fact that he took the initiative to attack at the beginning, so that those people couldn't take care of it, maybe those guys would have left the team at the right time, and then found the Black Dragon Society's manpower and unexpectedly dealt a heavy blow to themselves.

It's okay to jump out now. At least not to face the rebel army and the strangulation of the Black Dragon Society at the same time. Maybe the people of the Black Dragon Society also wanted to take the initiative to join the rebels, but they didn't expect that the key mountain pass was placed by Zhao Li to set up a garrison. Li Mengdie's firing should be the reason.

The rebels must have gotten the news, but Zhao Li estimated that they would not immediately rush up and storm the position with their tired troops. Most of the people of the Black Dragon Society are armed drug traffickers, and it is estimated that the commander of the rebel army also hopes to use the people of the Black Dragon Society to test the combat effectiveness of the federal army. It's easy to say that if you can break through naturally, if you can't defeat the political axe army in a short time, then you need another plan.

I knew in my heart that this was the case, but Zhao Li still couldn't help but want to scold my mother. The Black Dragon Society is a drug trafficking group, how good it is to be honest and legal drug trafficking, but you want to get involved with the rebels. And such important information, the political axe army has never gotten it.

Does this mean that there are also hidden rebel forces in other surrounding areas? How long did the rebels operate for this reading?

It's not that Zhao Li thinks the rebels will be interested in the periphery, the only thing that can be provided to the rebels here is the profits of lucrative industries such as drug trafficking and smuggling. It seems that, with the exception of some federal political axe officials, the rebel side is not so clean.

The half-day journey, under Zhao Li's rapid march, only took eight hours to arrive. When he saw the position from afar, Zhao Li couldn't believe his eyes.

What was originally just a narrow mountain pass has now become a strong fortress. The thick protective robbery made of stones, coupled with those almost dense shooting holes, is really difficult for Li Mengdie and them, how could they achieve such an effect in such a short period of time?

"I'm Zhao Li, let us in!" On the other side of the pass, there were still sporadic gunshots, but Zhao Li and Sanders did not enter immediately. In this seemingly flat land, who knows what the evil soldiers have arranged.

"Roger! Sir, the active defense system is turned off, ready to come in at any time! The communicator's voice came from the communicator, and then someone appeared on the position and began to wave his hand from a distance.

"How's it going?" The group quickly ran into the location where the soldiers on the battlefield were directed, and then saw the soldiers who answered. On the way to lead Zhao Li into the position, Zhao Li had already asked anxiously.

"We received a notice from the commander and immediately reinforced the opposite position and sent a reconnaissance team." The soldier led them skillfully through the narrow places, and reported in his mouth: "The other party didn't expect us to snipe here, so we were caught off guard at first." Now they have repelled two of their attacks, and Major Lee is commanding behind. ”

"What about casualties?" Zhao Li then asked anxiously.

"We have a position, and the casualties are not very large." The fighters jumped over a section of trench, climbed more than ten meters, and finally entered the position: "Seven were killed and a dozen wounded. ”

Hearing this number, Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Zhao Li was very satisfied with the layout of the positions he saw along the way, and it seemed that Zhao Li and Sanders' training for the surname in the past few months had not been in vain. With such a position, Zhao Li was confident that he would be able to hold off the enemy for at least three days.

"Take me to Major Lee." Directly ordered the elite squad fighters who came back with him to rest, and Zhao Li and Sanders went directly to the battlefield behind.

The position in the rear made Zhao Li a little worried. Because of the short notice time, it was not strong against the rebels. However, the terrain still has a great advantage, and with a little transformation, it is a natural defensive position.

The gunfire had stopped, and not far from the position, there were many bloody corpses. In the forest below the mountain, the black pressure is too dark to see the human figure. Li Mengdie, with almost half of the manpower, is in this position. When the soldiers saw Zhao Li, they all smiled.

"How's it going, Major?" There were soldiers present, and Zhao Li didn't call Li Mengdie affectionately, only calling her military rank.

"They are almost out of the nest and are now hiding in the forest, waiting for their chance." Li Mengdie pointed to the black oppressive forest opposite: "Two tentative attacks, leaving more than a hundred corpses to retreat." The defense is very passive, and if it weren't for the automatic machine gun active defense system, we might have been touched by the enemy. How's it going over there? ”

"It's okay, at least everyone is back." Zhao Li looked at the forest opposite, and couldn't help frowning: "Counting their casualties, the rebels should still have about three thousand five hundred people, and they will arrive at this time tomorrow at the latest." "If you don't solve the Black Dragon Society in a short time, you will face the danger of being flanked in front and back. Zhao Li turned his head, looked at the mountain peaks on the side, and let out a long sigh in his heart, hoping that he would not use those final arrangements!

"Seize the time to rest, those on duty do not expose their bodies, and prevent enemy snipers." With a simple command, Zhao Li turned his head to Li Mengdie: "What about the wounded?" Check it out! ”

"This way." Li Mengdie also looked very tired, but this was not the time to be hypocritical, so she took Zhao Li to the other side: "Your special medicine is very effective, the gunman is already recovering, depending on the situation, there will be more than ten hours at most, and you will be able to participate in the battle." Li Mengdie's words made Zhao Li very happy, there is nothing happier than being able to save the lives of his comrades.

After seeing all the wounded, Zhao Li and Li Mengdie Sanders got together.

"Inform James and see if he can send someone to help?" At this time, Zhao Li had to use all the power he could use: "If we can't hold it, his side will be useless either." ”

"It's been notified." Li Mengdie looked down at the time: "Six hours ago, I already notified them, if we can catch up, we should be able to arrive by this time tomorrow." ”

"Sanders, in the later battle, you are mainly responsible for the other party's snipers." According to the situation observed along the way, Zhao Li specially set a task for Sanders. The opponent is in the dense forest, although several sides also have the same position protection, but they cannot effectively kill the enemy in the forest, and when the time comes, the sniper will be the biggest threat to the soldiers.

Sanders didn't say anything and nodded. At this time, it is time for everyone to work hard.

"Ah Die, you hurry up and rest, I am responsible for the position." Only Sanders was there, and Zhao Li didn't mind calling Li Mengdie affectionately. She was in a bad condition, apparently not resting much for a few days.

Li Mengdie also had no objections, Zhao Li's tone at the moment was simply an order, not a discussion.

There were still three hours before it would get dark, and Zhao Li was alone, sitting in a position that could be monitored on both sides, waiting quietly. Whether it is success or failure depends on tomorrow's battle. The Black Dragon Society and the rebels combined, with a strength of almost 5,000 people, Zhao Li's little people can be drowned in the crowd almost immediately.

Zhao Li himself didn't know whether his order was right or wrong? James's factory, as long as it is a simple move at night, can stop production, even if it is thrown to the rebels, they can get no other than a little stock of products, there is no other benefit, is it necessary to make such a tough posture?

The order above is a death order, and the death order means that if you can't complete the task, you will die. And even if you die, you have to complete the task. But everyone knows that if the reinforcements don't arrive as soon as possible, their 200 people will be sacrificed in vain. Or, the reason behind General Lucas's order is just to be able to explain it to the higher authorities after losing the rainforest mines!

It's just that he wants to sacrifice Zhao Li, Li Mengdie and the soldiers to explain, but Zhao Li is absolutely unwilling. He must not die with a suspected black cauldron on his back, and the soldiers cannot die in vain.

Again, Zhao Li set his eyes on the hills on the side, Li Mengdie had already arranged them there according to Zhao Li's intentions, but once it was time to use those arrangements, it also meant that the situation could no longer be recovered.

In his thoughts, time passed quickly, and when Zhao Li came back to his senses, he found that the sky was already dark. There were already soldiers who brought him marching rations, Zhao Li thanked him in a low voice, and gnawed slowly.

I just took two bites, and I didn't know where I felt something abnormal, so I turned my eyes to the side of the Black Dragon Society in confusion. The forest there was even darker at night, and nothing could be seen.

But a feeling that made the whole spine tingle made Zhao Li's spirit shake suddenly. This is murderous! When Zhao Li was in the hospital, he felt it once.

"Be careful, be on guard!" Shouting loudly, Zhao Li's own body, like an arrow from the string, rushed straight to the side of the position.

At the same time, the automatic machine guns that had been planted there for a long time were already roaring. In the darkness, tongues of fire licked towards the edge of the forest and the slopes on both sides.

Relying on the familiarity of life in the jungle, the other party chose to carry out a surprise attack at night. And there are masters who have climbed the slopes on both sides and are approaching the middle.

After Zhao Li's reminder, the soldiers were awakened by this burst of gunfire, and everyone grabbed the weapons around them and quickly entered the shooting state.

There were a lot of people, almost more than 200 people, and their skills looked very good, although the automatic machine guns swept a lot of people, but most of them looked for various covers, and quickly surrounded them. Needless to ask, this must be the core master of the Black Dragon Society, and at this time, all of them are used for raids.

The bullet in Zhao Li's hand, as if he had eyes, shot wildly at the dodging figures on the opposite side. In a short time, a shuttle of bullets was swept away.

Changed a magazine, another shuttle. At least within the field of vision, Zhao Li saw that at least two shuttle bullets swept five people. Just after firing two shuttle bullets, the forest suddenly flashed bright, and countless people rushed out of the forest frantically, towards the position above, a burst of deadly strafing. Bullets rained down on improvised positional cover.

The automatic machine gun is set to attack the range, giving priority to enemies at short and medium ranges. In this way, the automatic defensive firepower was directly attracted to those guys at the edge of the forest, and the people who raided immediately lost their pressure and rushed up frantically.

The crossfire of the fighters, because of the hasty setting of the position, was not enough to seal all the angles. In addition to the fact that almost all of the enemy came up were masters, in less than three minutes, the enemy dropped almost a hundred corpses, but there were dozens of them, and they frantically rushed into the position.

The guy on the opposite side had just jumped into the position when he was swept down by Zhao Liyi's bullet. There was no time to change the magazine, and there was already gunfire behind him. On Zhao Li's back, there were several consecutive plops, and a continuous force pushed Zhao Li forward a few steps.

Fortunately, there is still King Kong armor on his body, and fortunately, the enemy has received the same training as the military, and it is estimated that the body part with the largest shooting area is as large as possible, not the head, Zhao Li was taken care of by a few bullets from the other party, and he actually left a surname.

However, even so, a bullet grazed Zhao Li's forehead, leaving a blood groove. Warm blood flowed down his cheeks.

Ignoring the pain in his forehead, Zhao Li hurriedly turned around and smashed the gun in his hand towards the enemy on the opposite side. Then, with a stretch of his hand, the general thorn was held in his hand.

The enemy's bullets were also strafed, and when he saw Zhao Li's gun smashed over, the empty gun in his hand was blocked and blocked to the side. But Zhao Li had already rushed up, and it was a stab at this enemy. Until he pulled out the military thorn from the other party's throat, the other party still couldn't believe why Zhao Li was shot more than a dozen times in a row, and he would be fine.

There were too many enemies rushing into the position, and Zhao Li didn't have time to pick up his gun and load his bullets, so he rushed directly at another enemy. The surrounding warriors also did the same, they didn't have time to load their bullets, and they all rushed towards each other with military spurs. However, what fighters are good at is cooperation, several people against one, a simple combo, but infinitely powerful.

After knocking down three or four enemies in a row, Zhao Li was about to rush to the other one opposite, but his body shook violently. The nameless true qi that was invincible was actually at this time, and suddenly there was a strike, and the condensed true qi quickly returned to the dantian, and there was only a trace of pitiful internal force wandering in the meridians.

162. Fatal moment

At this time, such a problem suddenly appeared, which is really fatal. Zhao Li didn't know how he was instinctively driven to dodge the pinching attack of the two opponents, and then pounced in the other direction.

The shock when he landed made Zhao Li realize the seriousness of the problem. However, at this time, there was no way to hesitate, and the military thorn in his hand was quickly aimed at a guy and thrown out, and Zhao Li took the police crutch pinned to his lap in his hand.

Zhao Li has always had a soft spot for police abduction, and he has never let go of the recruits since they first came into contact. Later, because in special operations, the lethality of military stabbing was far greater than that of police crutches, so Zhao Li's first choice for cold weapons was replaced by military stabs. However, there has always been a police crutch pinned to his body, and Li Mengdie also made a sleeve on Zhao Li's leg, which can insert the police crutch into it.

The police crutches in their hands, and they are in a mood, the surrounding soldiers are desperate, the enemy came up too fast, within a few minutes, they have rushed to the front at any cost, even the reinforcements did not come so quickly, everyone in order to keep the position, except for desperately, there is no choice.

Where Zhao Li's eyes scanned, he had already seen several soldiers lying in pools of blood. Everyone ran out of bullets, there was no time to load new magazines, and almost everyone was in hand-to-hand combat.

In this kind of hand-to-hand combat, the police crutches did not have a great advantage, especially when Zhao Li's true qi suddenly became weak. Just after fighting with an opponent, Zhao Li's speed was very fast, but the police crutch was only knocked in the appropriate position, except for making the opponent feel pain and his movements deformed and slowed down, there was no other effect.

I want to find a suitable opportunity to use the lock of the police crutch with the surname of Nat, but this kind of straightforward and one-trick situation of life and death, without the support of true qi, Zhao Li can maintain the attack of the other party without being injured, which is already very valuable, and if he wants to hurt the enemy, he is just a flash.

was dealing with the enemy in front of him with his whole body, but there was a gust of wind behind him, Zhao Li's body was deflected, and a military spur directly penetrated the muscles between the left shoulder blade and the neck, stabbing Zhao Li in half. The Vajra armor here was no longer effective, and the severe pain made Zhao Li suddenly a little unbalanced, and the strength of the enemy behind him almost knocked Zhao Li to the ground all at once.

The enemy in front of him would not let go of such an opportunity, raised his military spur, and stabbed towards Zhao Li's heart. Zhao Li was driven by the military thorn behind him, but he couldn't avoid it, seeing that the military thorn was about to pierce into his heart, a figure suddenly rushed over next to him.

"Poof", the opponent's military thorn directly pierced the figure that rushed over, and the sharp edge of the military thorn did not even pause, still stabbing towards Zhao Li's heart.

"Ding", there was a soft sound, and the sharp military thorn seemed to have encountered some obstacle, and it did not pierce again. But the figure that rushed over diagonally suddenly hugged the enemy in front of him firmly, regardless of the fact that there was still a military thorn on his body, and he slammed it at the opponent's neck.

A terrible scream was cut at the throat of the enemy. It was an ordinary warrior who pounced, and Zhao Li often saw him during training. He was by his side just now, and when he saw Zhao Li in danger, he flew over to block a blow for Zhao Li, but he was directly stabbed into the vital point by the military thorn.

Forcibly endured the severe pain on his shoulder, Zhao Li turned his body around, and the police crutch buckled the arm of the guy who had no time to pull out the military stab in time, and slammed it fiercely, with a bang, the other party's arm was broken violently, and then Zhao Li still didn't understand his hatred, and directly picked up the police crutch, and slammed it at the face of the guy who was holding his arm to participate.

One hit, two hits, a few times in a row, the opponent was directly knocked to the ground by Zhao Li. Zhao Li picked up the enemy's military thorn and stabbed it directly into the opponent's throat.

After doing all this, Zhao Li ran to the side of the soldier just now. The warrior's opponent had already been bitten open by him directly from the throat, bleeding all over, and was still struggling to die slowly.

"Don't die! That's an order! Zhao Li hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover the soldier's wound, and the military thorn had been pulled out when the enemy fell, and the blood in his body poured out like a flood that opened the floodgates. The warrior was dying, but he still had a shred of sanity.

"I'll kill ...... Kill...... Him, sir! The warrior coughed a few times, and a stream of blood flowed from his mouth, and he didn't know if it was the warrior's own or the enemy he had just bitten. Seeing that Zhao Li could still take care of him, he grinned: "Sir, I can ...... Can...... To die, you can't ...... Die! ”

"Fart, no one is allowed to die, this is an order!" Zhao Li yelled again. His groans were too loud, and he uttered the word command, which directly attracted three or four enemies and ran towards him.

"Thank you...... Sir! The warrior smiled again, but suddenly he didn't know where the strength came from, he pushed Zhao Li violently, pushed him aside, and miraculously got up from the ground and rushed towards the enemy who came over.

"Boom", there was a bang, and several figures were all drowned in the shrapnel of the exploding grenade. Even Zhao Li fluttered a few times on his body, his face was hot, and he was rubbed out of a big hole by shrapnel.

"Ah......" The anger in his chest that didn't know where it came from, made Zhao Li suddenly, he could no longer control himself, and shouted at the sky. It seems that between the chest and abdomen, there is a anger that has been suppressed for a long time, and I want to take this opportunity to vent it.

The blood on the shoulders, face, and forehead suddenly seemed to be pumped out by a powerful water pump in the body, spurting blood straight out. As soon as a few streams of blood spurted out, Zhao Li's body was like a bomb detonated, and it exploded.

The condensed true qi of the three dantians seemed to be sudden, strongly promoted, and flowed wildly. The meridian pass occupied by the weak nameless true qi exploded with a bang, and the condensed true qi used the most violent way to blast the meridians of that part and pour into the meridians of the nameless true qi. And the three true qi before and after, all of them are in this way. In an instant, it seemed that the nameless true qi also had two more dantians, and there were three true qi circulating in the meridians.

It seemed that the anger had found an outlet, and the sudden force made Zhao Li suddenly increase his speed, and he rushed towards the enemy not far away.

The police crutch in his hand seemed to turn into a post of urging him again in an instant, and he drew towards the nearest enemy without dividing his head and face. Under the urging of the Nameless True Qi, no matter what part is hit, the opponent will always have a spasm. Then, Zhao Li's police crutch would wrap around the enemy's neck as quickly as possible, and simply twist the opponent's neck neatly.

The crazy shouts and crazy actions made almost everyone in the upper position attracted by Zhao Li. As soon as everyone saw that Zhao Li was an officer, almost all of them gave up their opponents and rushed towards Zhao Li. The Black Dragon Society has been here for a long time, and of course he knows that there is only one chief in the barracks, and that is Zhao Li. As long as he is dead, there is no threat to the others.

"It's Madman Zhao, kill him!" Vaguely, Zhao Li heard this voice, but he didn't have any special thoughts about the fact that the enemy also knew his name. These people in front of them all have to die, and the dead don't have to care about their thoughts at all.

"Come on!" Zhao Li shouted frantically as he rushed towards the enemy. He is not afraid of many people, and the special fighters who kill the rebels are also a pair of more than twenty, can it be that the masters of the Black Dragon Society can be more powerful than those people?

"Bang", a guy blocked Zhao Li's attack, and just as he thought he had a plan, suddenly, another force suddenly came from Zhao Li's police crutch, directly pressing down his military thorn, and the police crutch was heavily pumped on his head. When he touched his head, this guy could clearly feel that there seemed to be another force in the police crutch, which directly pulled his head into a rotten watermelon.

Zhao Li, who rushed violently, was also stunned, thinking that the police crutch had been framed and his offensive had been contained, but he didn't expect that the second true qi directly blocked the opponent's military stab, but the third true qi smashed the enemy's head.

This was an unexpected surprise, the method of simultaneous luck of the three dantians that had been only tested in the basic physical fitness technique was actually directly used on the nameless true qi. The continuous attacks of the three true qi were equivalent to the opponent having to take over Zhao Li's three successive attacks, at this time, under the condition of Zhao Li's condensation of true qi, even Li Mengdie did not dare to say that he had such a certainty.

Zhao Li, who discovered this, was even more powerful. Compared with the enemy, those who can use skills can directly use skills to knock the enemy over, and if they encounter the enemy's hard resistance, after three consecutive true qi, the enemy has no room to resist, and he is helplessly knocked down by Zhao Li.

There were more than a dozen guys in a row, and none of them were able to walk through three faces in front of Zhao Li. Zhao Li was angry, but he was ruthless, and almost everyone was smashed by Zhao Li beyond recognition. As an enemy, seeing Zhao Li's terrifying killing methods, even these armed drug trafficking elites were a little scared one by one.

"Crazy, he's a madman!" When Zhao Li stood in front of a guy, this guy muttered, and then looked at Zhao Li's head and face covered with blood, and occasionally there were some slags of flesh and bones hanging on his body, and he was frightened. The guy in his hand threw it away, and he turned around and was afraid.

One person was frightened, as if with a domino effect, there were only a dozen people left, and almost all of these dozen people were taken aback by Zhao Li's posture, and they all screamed in unison, turned around and fled.

Running to the edge of the position, as if he was afraid that he would run slowly, the guy in a hurry, jumped directly from that side, and then rolled to the bottom of the mountain with his head in his hands.

Although Zhao Li was angry, he did not lose his mind. Seeing the enemy fleeing, he immediately shouted: "Load, shoot!" ”

Needless to say, the other warriors had already started such actions when those guys were besieging Zhao Li. This will be the time to beat the reservoir dogs, and with the fastest time to load the bullets, the soldiers take their guns and pounce directly on the edge of the position, and rush at the people below is a shuttle.

The automatic machine gun was still roaring, and there were not many living people below, and even those guys who escaped, who ran as fast as bullets, were killed by the fighters behind them one by one. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Black Dragon Society fled back to the forest as quickly as possible.

"Clean the battlefield immediately, guard it, and bandage the wounds." Zhao Li shouted a loud order at the surrounding soldiers. Seeing that the soldiers began to clean up their positions in an orderly manner, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in the wounds on my body. The strength in his body seemed to have suddenly leaked, and his legs went limp, and he sat on the ground.

Behind him was an ammunition box, and Zhao Li could only support himself and lean against the ammunition box. I wanted to move my body, but I found that I couldn't lift up any strength. Fortunately, the true qi in the body is still circulating violently, and it seems to be even more domineering than when he first cultivated the nameless true qi.

"Zhao Li! Zhao Li! Li Mengdie's frightened voice came from behind, and then, Li Mengdie's figure appeared in Zhao Li's field of vision.

Looking at Li Mengdie's anxious gaze, Zhao Li wanted to say something, but found that he didn't even have the strength to move his mouth, but his lips trembled twice, and he couldn't say anything.

This scene made Li Mengdie's heart split. Zhao Li's whole body was covered in blood, and there was still a lot of flesh and blood hanging on his body, and the small hole above his left shoulder that could be seen at a glance was still bleeding blood, as if Zhao Li had reached the point of life and death.

Ignoring the condemnation of why he didn't come faster, Li Mengdie took out the kettle that Zhao Li gave him, aimed his mouth at Zhao Li's mouth, and trembled anxiously: "You drink a little, drink a little, you will be fine, you will be fine." "A frightened little daughter-in-law, where is there still a little bit of iceberg beauty.

Despite saying this, Li Mengdie's hands still trembled uncontrollably. Two mouthfuls of activated water were poured into Zhao Li's mouth. Because the speed was too fast, Zhao Li choked and coughed twice, which made Li Mengdie come back to his soul, put down the kettle, and began to bandage Zhao Li.

"I'm fine, you go and see the wounded warrior." I don't know if it's because of the activated water or because of the true qi, Zhao Li finally regained his ability to speak after being weak for a while.

As soon as Zhao Li spoke, Li Mengdie let out a long breath, and then handed the kettle to Sanders, who came over. Sanders looked at the situation here, didn't say anything, took the kettle, and went to give the wounded fighters a service.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I should build the position closer, so that there will be no delay." Facing Zhao Li, Li Mengdie blamed herself for a while, as if everything that happened here was because of her.

"I don't blame you." Zhao Li was finally able to sit up straight without leaning against the ammo box. Because of the crazy flow of basic fitness techniques in the body, the strength is also increasing: "No one thought that these guys would choose to attack at this time, rather than waiting for the rebel soldiers and horses to arrive." ”

With Li Mengdie's support, Zhao Li could already stand up. Seeing Zhao Li stand up, the soldiers around him, whether injured or uninjured, cheered, as if they had already won the victory.

"Yes! It's weird! Li Mengdie also didn't understand, it is said that attacking at this time is not the best time, and the people of the Black Dragon Society are not stupid, how could they make such an unreasonable action?

"Because they want to steal credit!" Not far away, Sanders gave a sip of activated water to a wounded man, and seemed to hear their discussion, and directly picked up the sentence.

(To be continued)
