Chapter 20 The Name of the Strongest

It's time for spring to bloom, and another cold winter should pass. But that refers to the old era, the new era, due to the presence of radiation clouds, the global temperature has generally dropped, and it should still be winter. At least in Dragon City, it should still be the season of snowfall. However, around Dragon City, the thick layer of snow that used to be as smooth as a mirror has completely disappeared, replaced by the scorched earth that still smokes.

Dragon City, which is both magnificent and exquisite, now occasionally has a huge fire cloud rising up, and the civil war of the Bloody Council has become more and more intense, and the flames of war have inevitably burned to Dragon City.

Interpreting the civil war to this kind of process, it can be said that almost all of them are crazy. The few who are not crazy have other plans.

Dragon City has also become a battlefield, which means that the Dark Dragoons, who have always been neutral, are also involved in the war. The number of dark dragoons who have chosen a side, at least between the Speaker and the Empress, is rapidly increasing. The few dragon riders who insisted on neutrality were no longer able to fortify the entire Dragon City. From a strategic point of view, there are many strategically valuable locations in Dragon City, so the two sides of the civil war no longer deliberately avoid Dragon City, except for a few important places, such as the Dragoon Headquarters. Although the war has developed to the stage of unscrupulous means, the wiser people are still unwilling to offend General Morgan too much. Attacking the Dragoon headquarters was undoubtedly the best way to declare war on General Morgan, the Morgan family, and the commanders on both sides of the civil war were not brainless to such an extent, and they would have liked each other to make such a brainless move first.

Dragon City is like a beautiful young woman, rapidly withering under the repeated ravages of war.

In this case, Persephone's private hospital remained largely in stark contrast to the vast ruins that surround it. It's a complete miracle, you know, there have been several major battles on the battlefield, and it was around it.

Day and night, the sound of artillery rang out from time to time, and the gunfire was incessant.

In the real yàn room on the ground floor of the private hospital, only the faint red emergency light is still playing the role of illumination, but the light emitted by the brain light screen that is still running is brighter. If most of the large real room fell into darkness, the power supply line of Dragon City would have been blown up, and now the real room can only rely on small diesel engines to generate electricity to ensure the normal operation of the most critical instruments. Even the mainframe of the large computing center was forced to shut down, and only a miniature brain with limited functions was activated for recording and preliminary data processing.

Helen stood in front of the stage, and the three light screens in front of her were lined up, and dense numbers were constantly flashing on them. From time to time, her hands swiped over the virtual keyboard, hand-adding key numbers at every turn. She stood straight, her slightly curly blonde hair was pulled vertically like silk from time to time, and the whole person revealed an unprecedented sharp atmosphere, but fortunately, the old-fashioned glasses added a little intellectual softness to her, so as not to make the people around her feel overly depressed.

On the real platform on Helen's left-hand side, snow the size of a puppy was lying a little bored, not knowing what to do. It has not adapted to its recent life, and on its original schedule, it will have at least twenty hours of sleep a day, then three hours of various realizations, and the remaining hour will be mostly surgery. Whether it's a real thing or a surgery, the process is painful, but it's enduring. It is well aware that after each operation, its strength will increase by leaps and bounds, or it will have an unprecedented wonderful ability. The sheer power made it feel good, and at least every time it got stronger, it weakened the fear that lurked in the depths of its instincts. So no matter how much pain it endures, it is willing to accept transformation. And its sleep is spent floating in a nutrient-rich nutrient solution, where it is warm and safe. Outside of sleep, it only feels safe when it is clinging to Helen.

It's always safe when you're around your mother.

It also sometimes wonders that its mother does not seem to be strong, but whenever and wherever it stays by Helen's side, it will feel unparalleled security. There are also a lot of humans around her mother, and a few of them are very, very powerful, such as the man who is by her side at the moment. In Xue's eyes, the man's silver hair was so dazzling that he could even be spotted by the enemy from a few kilometers away.

A nasty hair...... Snow thinks so.

The man is powerful, and seems to be eager to please Snow, and has told Snow more than once that he will protect it. But Xue didn't appreciate it, not because it didn't want to believe him, but because it felt that this man couldn't protect him at all. For example...

For example, if the father that Xue has never seen before, Yuki believes that only his mother can protect him, and that this man will die a miserable death. Because of the striking silver hair on his head, he couldn't even escape.

Stupid man, the snow is judged, because he has a very stupid silver hair.

Of course, Raffi couldn't have known what Snow was thinking, so she didn't go crazy.

He stood beside Helen, looking intently at the number jù on the three light screens, and from time to time a string of numbers would be reported, and Helen would enter the number jù accordingly. When the central computing center is shut down, a large number of complex numbers are processed by the human brain. Just from the point of view of being able to help Helen, Lafite is not just top-notch in appearance and outstanding in force. He also has a terrifying intelligence, which even Captain Curtis, a sworn enemy, has to admit. The silver hair, which the captain found unusually dazzling, would make most girls scream.

Raffi is not just handsome, but demonic. Curtis thought that his silver hair was arrogant and hateful, but in fact, he knew very well in his heart that this was just skipping the first two steps of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Coincidentally, Snow came to the same conclusion as Captain Blacksteel from a different angle, but I don't know what Helen thinks. No one knew what was going on under Helen's beautiful, mechanical countenance.

Raffi has been helping Helen for a few days, and the two of them have worked together perfectly, and the effect is not much worse than that of a large computing center. But no matter how hard Rafe tried to speed up her brain's processing, Helen was always able to keep up. This frustrated Rafi a little, though he also knew that trying to compete with Helen in intelligence would end up tragically, after all, he was not known for his intelligence.

Today, though, he's a little slower. Due to the lack of electricity, Helen closed Xue's cultivation tank, so Xue could only lie on the platform in a daze today. It has a beautiful name, and if you look at it purely from the perspective of strength, the body is full of indescribable beauty. It flicked its tail very boringly, and the sharp tail tip spikes easily poked out three-edged holes in the real platform.

God knows, the real countertop can be made of high-strength corrosion-resistant steel plate!

Disturbed by the snow, Raffi knew that he would not want to show himself in front of Helen today, and it would be good not to hold back. Just as he was secretly smiling bitterly, the three light screens in front of Helen stopped rolling almost simultaneously. Raffi immediately looked solemn, he knew that he had reached a critical point, and that the content displayed on the light screen would need to run at full speed for at least an hour for the large computing center to be answered. Even if Raffi activates his potential with all his strength, increasing the processing speed of his brain to ten times the usual speed, it will take more than ten minutes. For some reason, Helen seemed to feel something, and actually put aside the problem in front of her for a while, raised her head slightly, and looked through the thick layer of soil to look into the distance.

Helen was actually distracted? Did she feel something or was she tired?

Raffi thinks the latter is the answer, as Helen's perception is equal to zero. And an unwritten rule is that the more developed a person's intelligence, represented by the ability to process large numbers, the more dull his or her intuition becomes.

Helen is finally tired!

In an instant, Raffi felt as if he had been injected with a whole barrel of stimulants, and his whole body was on fire! He thought he knew Helen very well, this type of woman was cold on the outside, but on the inside, and proud, and it was only possible to subdue them if they showed overwhelming strength in the areas they valued most! After a whole week of waiting, the opportunity has finally arrived!

Although Raffi knew in his heart that relying on the way of fighting to bring down Helen, who had no ability, would be a victory at all, but he couldn't care so much. Even if he doesn't win, who has beaten Helen over the years?

Rafite's face was extremely solemn, his silver hair raised without wind, and then he let out a low cry, and a faint silver flame burned around him! The power of Pang Pei exploded in an instant, and the sleepy snow screamed, and suddenly rushed to the corner, and the eight pairs of compound eyes looked at Raffei in disbelief, its tail coiled tightly behind it, and the sharp thorns at the tip could be seen to be still trembling slightly.

On the roof of the private hospital, Kotis suddenly opened his eyes, looked down, and sneered with some disdain, but the corners of his mouth were twisted obviously unnaturally, and the smile was very hideous. Curtis suddenly grabbed a bottle of liquor beside him, opened his mouth to bite the bottle, tilted his head and poured the entire bottle into his throat, then exhaled heavily, and looked around with a pair of small blood-red eyes, looking for those enemies who did not open their eyes.

God fulfilled people's wishes, and sure enough, there were blind guys who sent them to the door.

A slight and unusual scream suddenly sounded under the gloomy sky, a shock wave that ordinary people could not hear at all. Curtis stood up, his short, stiff hair standing on end! The captain, who was extremely experienced on the battlefield, immediately heard that this was a surface-to-surface cruise missile approaching rapidly! No matter how big the attackers are, it won't be a problem to completely raze this hospital to the ground.

Curtis smiled, his teeth as white as snow looking unusually hideous. He stood silently, listening to the screams in the air gradually turn into substance!

The low-hanging radiation cloud suddenly cracked! A tactical missile spewed out of the clouds with a long tongue of fire and rushed down almost straight at Kotis!

At the moment when the tactical missile had just emerged, Curtis grabbed the rapid-fire cannon next to him with an action that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and the barrel naturally rose, and the dense barrage erupted!

A brilliant fireball suddenly bloomed in the sky, burning up the radiation cloud in a radius of 100 meters in an instant, revealing a clear blue sky beyond the clouds! Then, the fireball turned into a red-and-black blazing cloud, rising upwards and finally merging with the reunited radiant cloud. Shrapnel fell from the sky like rain with flames, and a roar louder than thunder came down from the sky, and in the midst of the roar, the few remaining glass windows of the private hospital were finally completely shattered, and broken glass beads sprayed into the room, scattering all over the ground.

The scorching air that could almost ignite the city spurted down from the sky and swept through the captain's fine upper body, but it only made the captain's hair curl slightly, only to make the dark skin shine even brighter.

At this moment, it was only at this moment that Curtis, who was standing in the rain of fire, showed a bit of the momentum that made the enemy flee on the battlefield in the past.

After the tactical missile was detonated in the air, the muzzle of the cannon was silent for only one second. Curtis stepped on the guardrail at the edge of the roof, flattening the muzzle of the cannon, his fierce gaze fixed on a kilometer away. All he could see was a ruin, but the captain smiled even more obviously, and his teeth were so white that it was terrifying!

"Finally got the treasured missiles out, you little mice are useless!" Curtis squeezed out such a sentence between his snow-white teeth, and the barrel of the cannon spun again, and the 40mm cannonball roared out, like an indestructible metal flaming whip, mercilessly cutting through the ruins in the distance. In the case that the satellite navigation system does not exist at all, the tactical missile is so accurate that there must be someone nearby who provides positioning with a laser.

Several of the warriors hiding in the ruins were shocked when Kotis turned the muzzle of the cannon and scattered. They are agile and have an almost impeccable use of the ground type. IT'S A PITY THAT KOTIS IS NOT A GUY FROM A TACTICAL TEXTBOOK, AND THE 40MM CALIBER AND LARGE-CHARGE TURN-TUBE RAPID-FIRE CANNON IS NOT A WEAPON THAT EXISTED IN THE OLD DAYS. Before the terrifying kinetic energy of the shells, the reinforced concrete was also brittle as glass. The stream of fire directly cut through the remnants of the broken wall, tearing the human body behind it into a rain of blood!

A few rats became history in an instant, and the whining barrel of the cannon slowly slowed down and finally stopped.

Curtis stood on the top floor of the private hospital, grinning and scanning his surroundings with a pair of small eyes. The private hospital is already the commanding height of the area, and Curtis standing on top of the hospital has become the most eye-catching target within a radius of kilometers. This would have been the best target for sniping, but none of the snipers had used a Doji to trap Kotis. The captain believes that now no sniper dares to aim at himself, because those unintelligent guys died the other day.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rose from the ruins in the distance. It was a middle-aged man, dressed in a well-tailored dark gown, with a collar by a famous artist, and even a well-trimmed mustache, all of which were out of place in the smoke of the ruins. He smiled, demonstrating all the charm that a middle-aged man can have. He didn't get closer, but stayed at a distance of a kilometer, reached out and pointed at Curtis, and then slowly turned his thumb down, and beat hard!

Faced with such a challenge, Curtis grinned, raised the terrifyingly large cannon in his right hand, patted the still hot barrel with his left hand, and spat on the ground in front of him. Anyone who has participated in the Battle of Scarlet Twilight knows the meaning of Cortis's classic gesture: You are not qualified to let me put down my toys!

The middle-aged man's face was pale, but he looked at the private hospital, and finally didn't say a word, turned around and left.

"Damn, another cowardless who is just good-looking!" Curtis took a sip. Only God knows who he is scolding.

"It's been a minute and forty-seven seconds...... It would take another nine minutes and three seconds to seventy-two. In the room, Rafi's brain is in high speed, and the only thing that can spare his mind is to calculate the time required. Before the rare opportunity, he definitely played at a super level this time, and the calculation that originally took seventeen minutes has been compressed to a little more than ten minutes. Lafite, who is covered in silver flames, at this moment, is comparable to a large intelligent center with outstanding performance.

But just as computers in the old era will crash, so will the intelligent hub of the new era. Rafi's brain, which was running at full speed, suddenly froze, and he looked at Helen as if he had seen a ghost.

Helen finally came to her senses, she glanced at the light screen in front of her, then closed her eyes, and her blonde hair suddenly floated up and fell slowly! Five seconds, and after only five seconds, she opened her eyes and began to type the calculations on the virtual keyboard.

As if sensing Rafi's eyes, Helen did not squint, but said in her signature mechanical tone, "More than one person is trying to challenge my intellect." None of them are smart enough. ”

Looking at Helen, Rafite's heart was broken. He finally understood that for some reason, Helen at this moment began to become serious, and only then began to show her edge to this chaotic and crazy world.

Damn it! Which bastard poked the hornet's nest?! Raffi roared inwardly, he had never wanted to kill more than he did now.

From the reflection of a light screen, Rafi saw herself.
