“…… According to the interview, Johannesburg now has sufficient rations, the rumored famine did not happen at all, and the ACA guarantees that citizens in any war zone will have a basic right to exist......"

"Do you want fire?"

"No, I have."

The drizzling rain had been falling for a while, forcing the two TFs who had just escaped from the water to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Ling Yu quickly tore a book into waste paper, put it on a firewood pile dismantled from a discarded wooden chair, wiped a handful of water from his hair, then took out an accelerant from his waist bag and sprinkled it on the firewood, and finally took out a lighter.

Some of the damp wood crackled, but with the help of accelerant and discarded pages, a flame was ignited, and it turned into a blazing fire.

"What book are you burning?" Jesse took a step back and asked as she twisted her hair.

"Essential Eloquence Training for CEOs." Ling Yu's face was indifferent, "The practical value is not as good as a waste newspaper." ”

"Poof, you hate success so much?"

"Mistaken son."

Ling Yu finished his evaluation of the book in four words, he sat on the ground, looked up and looked around the dilapidated room: probably because of the bombing, the roof had collapsed in half, and the furnishings and everything were gone, probably long ago taken away by the scavengers.

There was no shortage of homeless people in the slums on the edge of the city to make fires to keep warm, so Ling Yu was not worried about being exposed, but his eyes stayed on the bookshelf on the side

Yes, all that was left of the house was some broken furniture and half-cabinets of dusty books.

When the end of the world comes, what will you bring? Ling Yu didn't think of a question that Logan had asked himself, the tall blonde white man pointed to the holographic screen of the computer, and the results of the social networking site survey told him that only 3% of people would bring a book, and more, no.

Save...... Hopefully?

Inadvertently, Ling Yu remembered the words of the head of the hermit in the afternoon, and then thought of the group of residents who were like walking corpses at noon, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the bookshelf.

"Boss, can I look at the chip?" Jess stood aside, untying her braids and twisting the water from her hair, interrupting Ling Yu's thoughts.

Ling Yu hesitated for a moment, but still took out the box from his waist bag and handed it over.

"Has it been confirmed?" Jiesi opened the box, and then glanced at Ling Yu who was sitting on the ground, Ling Yu nodded a little carelessly, but did not notice that Jiesi swept a trace of a slight scanning line on the tip of her right finger.

"Still, it's done." Jiesi, who looked as usual, rebuttoned the box and handed it back to Ling Yu, then continued to take care of her long golden hair and changed the topic, "Boss, don't you take off and bake your clothes?" ”

"No, this is a quick-drying fabric," Ling Yu subconsciously gave an answer, and then explained, "After all, it's still in an enemy-occupied area, and I don't want to be attacked and I won't have time to get dressed." ”

"Even if it's a quick-drying fabric, it's uncomfortable to get wet," Jesse still smiled, "If someone attacks or something, I'll be on guard." ”

"Hmm......" Ling Yu's mouth emitted a syllable of unknown meaning, and in the face of the girl's smile, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Although it was not a communication barrier, Ling Yu always felt ...... In front of the maiden...... Especially such a beautiful girl......

A little embarrassed?

The older unmarried young man who subconsciously looked around was silent, not noticing that he was already blushing a little, and after a while, he finally squeezed out a smile with difficulty, and said something that made the atmosphere even more embarrassing.

"Uh, if you want to bake your clothes, it's okay, I can go out and have a look first."

"Poof, what a fool are you doing, boss, it's raining outside, just be in charge of the vigilance!"

Jiesi's answer made Ling Yu not react for a moment, but in the next second, the girl in blue suddenly began to untie her clothes in front of Ling Yu!

"Hey--" Before Ling Yu could open her mouth, the heavy blue riding skirt fell from the girl's body--

-- and then reveals the silver-white tights underneath.

"Hey, hey."

Jess glanced at Ling Yu, who was flushed with a mischievous triumphant smile, then lifted the one-piece blue riding suit, took a hanger from the side, bounced off the dust on it, and hung the riding suit towards the fire.

"Ahem--"

Ling Yu pretended to be serious and cleared his throat, but at this time, he just wanted to jump into the river that saved his life not far away, and return this life to the great river god.

The older unmarried young man felt that his face was about to explode, and a mixture of embarrassment, helplessness and disappointment came from the bottom of his heart......

Wait, why the disappointment!!

Like a wet puppy that was shaking its fur, Ling Yu shook his head desperately, and the water droplets on his hair flew into the fire, making a sizzling sound.

"Poofhaha

Jeunsy walked to the other side of the fire, and Jeunse, who was sitting on the ground with her legs diagonally and sitting in a very ladylike position, showed a rare hearty smile, and Ling Yu looked at the girl who was posing with herself again, and suddenly showed a bad smile.

"Jeunse, did anyone tell you that you're actually quite heavy."

Jiesi, who hadn't put away her smile yet, was suddenly stunned for a moment, and seeing that the attack was effective, Ling Yu immediately started the pursuit with a wicked smile.

"According to my judgment, at least 70 kilograms."

To be precise, this weight is not too heavy - if it is for a mechanical TF, Jiesi is definitely "ultra-lightweight", after all, there are so many modified organs and a whole modified arm, even including alloy defense components that may be implanted under the skin, bone carburizing technology, and central nervous system conduction acceleration devices, if you don't use the top black technology of the Knights, but use the standard original on the Alliance's side, the weight is within the normal range of 300 kg.

And when she came up from the river at that time, Ling Yu felt that it was a little more than seventy kilograms, at most seventy-five kilograms, not counting the clothes that were soaked in water.

But as long as Jess is still a woman, she will definitely be sensitive to weight!

It was the first time that Ling Yu, who had Logan's wise words in his mind, thanked his friend so much, and he looked at the girl who was barely smiling but obviously gritting her teeth, and showed a presumptuous smile that the conspiracy had succeeded.

But Ling Yu's smile only lasted for a moment, and he noticed that on the right side of Jiesi's neck, there seemed to be a faint brown spot on the edge of the silver high-necked bodysuit.

Is that a scar?

Ling Yu's heart suddenly tightened, unlike the meat system TF, the mechanical TF needs to undergo a lot of surgery to implant mechanical organs during the transformation process, thinking of the movie I watched before saying goodbye to the bikini forever because of a waist injury, Ling Yu suddenly realized that this silver boot tights seemed to be a helpless move.

As if she understood the reason for the change in Ling Yu's expression, Jiesi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to block the wound on her right neck, revealing a sad smile.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

As if realizing that she was a little reckless, Ling Yu apologized in a low voice, but Jeunsy didn't reply, just shook her head and didn't answer.

"Let's go tomorrow and get out of this damn place."

"Hmm."

Ling Yu tried to start a new topic, but Jiesi, who had always been lively, only nodded lightly this time, which made Ling Yu feel a little uneasy.

However, before he could speak again, suddenly, a low roar came from the sky.

The sound was similar to thunder, but Ling Yu and Jiesi jumped up from the ground at the same time and rushed to the broken wall in the direction where the sound came from.

Because that's the voice of two battle-hardened TFs who will never be mistaken --

The sound of large-caliber shells exploding!

***

Thomas Hunter, the new head of the South African branch of the "Eyes of Unity", pointed his gun at the kneeling man with red eyes, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The large-caliber bullet instantly blasted the man's head to pieces, as if he was not relieved of hatred, Thomas stepped forward, stepped on the corpse, and repeatedly pulled the trigger at the corpse until all the bullets in the magazine were emptied.

Just ten minutes ago, he got the news that the ACA commando team had found the body of the "tape measure", but did not find the chip, and combined with the report before dark, there was only one whereabouts of the chip - that is, it was taken by the two TFs who came out of nowhere.

He has already asked people to check and confirm that the alliance did not send TF to South Africa, so who are these two guys, and why do they sabotage their plans again and again!

The enraged minister glanced at the thirty or so men, women, and children huddled to the side, all of them civilians suspected of joining the monastery, and Thomas grabbed a soldier's assault rifle and pulled the trigger at the women and children hiding in the corner!

"Calm down, Minister."

Just as Thomas finished firing another magazine, a cold voice came from behind him.

On this occasion, no member of the South African branch was willing to touch the mold of his new boss, and the only one who would stop Thomas at this time was the special TF left by Deputy Director Marshall, codenamed "Snake Eyes".

"......" Thomas was still extremely angry, but he did not dare to be angry at the Slav in front of him, who was only about sixteen years old, so he could only nod symbolically and throw the assault rifle in his hand to the ground.

"I'm here to bring you good news."

In the drizzling rain, the snake eye was draped in a military coat, and took off the military hat with his right hand, revealing a head of light blue hair, and gently hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Headquarters has repaired the memory of the first downed drone, I just got the footage, and one thing is certain," Snake Eye glanced at the civilians who had been wounded by Thomas and those lucky enough not to be hit in the previous round of shooting, and shifted his gaze back to the face of the panting minister, "I'm sure there's a high-ranking knight of the Order inside, at least at the rank of captain." ”

"Son of a bitch!" Thomas was stunned for a moment, then rushed to the middle of the corpse and kicked one of the corpses so hard that the mixture of blood and muddy water splashed in the air, "I fucking knew that this group of mysterious believers didn't do good things!" ”

"I said, calm down, Minister." Snakeeye frowned slightly, and raised his voice to stop Thomas in a frenzy.

"Yes, sir, what are we going to do?" Thomas gritted his teeth, turned around and bowed slightly at the snake eye - since the opponent is a high-ranking knight of the Knights, then it is not something he can deal with, and the young man in front of him should help him.

"The reason is clear, they snatched the chips out of the intention of the Knights." Snake-Eye smiled coldly, "So, I said you're lucky, Minister Thomas, all you have to do now is to continue what you're doing, find enough to lure the knight, and then find her and kill her." ”

"Understood!" A look of excitement finally appeared in Thomas's blood-red eyes, and he turned his head and shouted at one of the order officers next to him, "What about our 'nails' in the retreat?" He shouldn't let me down! ”

"Sir, he's been waiting for you for half an hour." The orderly officer saluted and replied, "With his help, we have captured the president of the hermitage in South Africa." ”

"Then I'll be out of company, sir." Thomas gave a military salute to Snakeeye, and although he was technically higher in rank than Snakeeye, he was as respectful as a subordinate.

"Go ahead, don't let your father down."

Snake-Eyes smiled coldly and waved at him, and Thomas took two steps before starting to run in the direction the orderly pointed out.

"There are a lot of stupid people in the ACA system." The 15-year-old junior officer put on his military cap, shook his head and commented, "Okay, as long as they're loyal." ”

"Help Me ......"

Suddenly, Snakeeye felt his left foot being grabbed by a hand, and he lowered his head, and in the mud mixed with rain and blood, a girl of about twenty years old crawled out of the pile of corpses, she was probably shot in the abdomen, and the bullet ripped out a bowl-sized wound from her back, so that she could see the bright red organs in the abdominal cavity.

"Don't get my boots dirty."

A hint of resentment flashed in the snake's eyes, and then without hesitation, he kicked the girl's hand away, lifted the foot wrapped in the tall military boots, and stomped on the opponent's head fiercely.

"So, I'll have to wash my boots with your brains."

The snake eye that directly crushed the girl's head shook off the minced flesh and brains from the boots, and then nodded at the ACA soldiers standing opposite, and after deciding the fate of the remaining civilians, he turned around and left the slaughterhouse.

Then, the night sky was pierced again by a dense burst of gunfire.
