Chapter 243: The First Sunrise (Part II)

"As long as we continue to pursue our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We can't choose when the flower of life will fully bloom, but it will bloom on its own when the time is right.

Jiesi looked at Ling Yu, who rushed out from her position and went straight to Marshall, but her gaze stayed on Ling Yu's arm.

In fact, at this moment, the girl's left eye is no longer completely a girl's control.

She could clearly feel that just now, at that moment, the mechanical eye of this prehistoric civilization found the right frequency in Ling Yu's brain waves that spread in the air and received the order.

And Ling Yu's brain waves, under the increase of the lines of his left hand, almost instantly called Jiesi's left eye with high authority, and the fit now displayed was not Jiesi's fit at all, but Ling Yu's fit with this mechanical eye.

And Jess also turned off the safety lock that limited the power to protect herself almost instantly, and the girl who completely turned on the hollow focused all her energy on a new function-action prediction! This eye collects extremely fine optical information, combined with Ling Yu's brainwave perception transformed by the lines, so as to give the most likely attack method before the opponent makes a move!

And Ling Yu once again dodged Marshall's all-out attack. The shimmering dagger cut a hole in Marshall's body again from bottom to top, turning over and retreating to avoid the attack, Ling Yu did not choose to continue to retreat, but attacked again, and stabbed Marshall in the chest again.

This is the tactic that Ling Yu has been implementing all along—can't you recover? But no matter how strong you are, there is a limit to the number of times your cells can regenerate. Sooner or later, you will die directly due to excessive regeneration!

The countdown had entered the last 90 seconds, Ling Yu continued to create scars on Marshall's body with the assistance of the hollow, and finally, gradually, the wounds on Marshall's body could no longer heal, and then, he couldn't even stop the bleeding.

But Marshall still maintained enough strength to constantly attack Ling Yu. Although most of the attacks would be perceived and dodged by Ling Yu, over time, Marshall also created some opportunities to hit Ling Yu.

And at this time, Ling Yu finally caught a rare flaw and slashed the shimmering dagger in his hand at Marshall's neck with all his might!

Marshall, on the other hand, raised his hand and used his forearm to block the dagger's path.

Ling Yu gritted his teeth and didn't stop attacking - this was probably the best chance, because of Marshall's arm. He couldn't stop the three-edged thorn in his hand, and he could even imagine cutting Marshall's arm open. Then cut into his neck, cutting his head straight out.

All you need is a little more strength!!

However, when Ling Yu's dagger sliced into Marshall's arm, Ling Yu suddenly realized that the battle could not be ended with this blow.

Because of the next second. Ling Yu only felt a light in his hand, and a crisp sound of metal cracking pierced the air.

***

The shimmering dagger was finally overwhelmed, and when it was almost about to complete its last mission, it broke in two.

The triangular blade flies straight out. Spun and plunged into the wall next to it.

Falling short.

And Marshall naturally wouldn't let go of this excellent opportunity, his right hand protecting his neck punched Ling Yu in the face with a backhand, and then stepped forward, and the knife in his left hand stabbed directly into Ling Yu's heart!

Ling Yu barely turned sideways, although he saw the red light, but his body could no longer dodge, the only thing he could do was to avoid the heart and let Marshall's hand knife stab his lungs.

The sound of flesh piercing resounded through the room, as if to match the broken shimmering dagger, the armor on Ling Yu's body was finally overwhelmed, hardened entirely, and then shattered into pieces.

Ling Yu choked out a mouthful of blood, without any hesitation, shook his hand and threw the broken dagger on the ground, and then took a step forward, and choked Marshall's neck the moment he pulled out his hand!

Both of them were scarred and barely had the strength to stand up, but they still fought together, like two little children, rolling on the ground with each other, attacking each other with their hands, elbows, and even teeth.

There is no skill, no tactics, no strategy, only the most naked fighting, only the fighting instinct engraved in the most primitive genes!

It is impossible for either person to give up, and it is impossible for either to let go of the other at this time.

At this moment, all missions, fates, and responsibilities seemed to disappear, and both of them had only one thought left.

Kill each other!!

However, after all, Marshall still relied on the Westerner's tall size advantage and not obvious strength advantage to press Ling Yu to the ground, Ling Yu's fist fell on Marshall's chest like raindrops, but he couldn't stop the other party from choking his neck.

"No one will come to your rescue this time! What if you can see my movements, even if you can dodge my attacks! Get out of the way! Disappear into thin air and show me! ”

Marshall's blood-red pupils radiated a crazy light, and I don't know if it was because of adrenaline or because of the stimulation of drugs, the middle-aged man with blond hair shouted frantically, squirting bloodshot saliva onto Ling Yu's face.

Ling Yu's neck was already visibly sunken, and the young man had given up attacking Marshall, as if he was already struggling on the verge of death.

"I said, you will die here, you will die here!! Give me death!! I'll strangle you first, and then screw the chief knight's head off!" Then let you bury me! Funeral!! ”

Marshall shouted frantically. He even seemed to see Ling Yu's pupils begin to dilate from suffocation......

Then, there was a clanging of metal hitting the ground, and the next second, a cold object pierced Marshall's neck.

Ling Yu instantly turned over and stabbed the shimmering dagger deep into Marshall's throat, not far away. Jiesi, who was lying on the ground, still maintained the posture of throwing things.

At the last moment, it was Jiesi who crawled next to the broken shimmering dagger and threw it to Ling Yu.

But Marshall was not dead yet, the middle-aged man who was pressed to the ground struggled frantically, he stretched out his right hand and pressed his thumb directly on Ling Yu's face, and then. Piercing his nails into Ling Yu's eyes.

The contact lens cracked instantly, and Marshall's finger directly pierced Ling Yu's eyeball, and the white aqueous humor and bright red blood instantly stained Ling Yu's face and Marshall's finger.

But Ling Yu didn't let go at all. Still holding the three-edged thorn in his hand, it stirred in Marshall's throat, and the three-edged thorn was like a drilling machine, constantly bringing out Marshall's flesh mixed with white vertebral bones from the grooves of the dagger.

Eventually, Marshall's pupils slowly dilated.

Ling Yu still maintained the posture of piercing the other party's throat. It seems that he does not believe that the other party is dead, and as if he is trying to read something from Marshall's last gaze.

"Boss!"

Jiesi's shout woke Ling Yu out of her stupor. Ling Yu reached out and pulled Marshall's finger out of his eye—he knew that Marshall would almost be able to pierce his head directly with his finger.

Ling Yu's movements were very slow, and could even be described as gentle, as if a slightly larger movement would revive the man in front of him who couldn't be killed.

But it wasn't until Ling Yu stood up. None of them.

"Boss, he's dead." Jessy's voice was soft, but immediately became urgent, "We're running out of time!" ”

"Yes!" Ling Yu looked around as if he had been awakened. Then he looked at Jeunse, and then at the gate in the distance, he ran a few steps, directly copied Jeunsy from the ground, and then ran to the gate.

Jess inserts the fingers of the robotic arm directly into the port of the door, and after a few seconds, the door slowly opens with a green light on both sides.

Ling Yu rushed to the control platform, Jiesi glanced at the control platform, and then quickly pressed a few buttons, pointed to a lever that she couldn't reach, and turned to Ling Yu, "I'm set it up, just pull it off!" ”

Ling Yu nodded, jumped over in one step, and then directly pulled down the lever.

At the same time as pulling down the lever, the entire control room suddenly resumed power at the same time, and one by one the lights lit up, Jiesi raised her hand to help Ling Yu block the dazzling light.

In the next second, the main screen in the center of the control room lit up, and Ling Yu could clearly see that a simple image used to represent a cylindrical Icarus had been adsorbed with more than a dozen red dots representing semi-autonomous space engines.

Through these simple images, Ling Yu could even imagine that in the sky above his head, at the altitude of the geosynchronous orbit, the soldiers of the Space Army on Icarus were struggling to find a way, facing the vent on the side of the earth that had been opened to the maximum, but they could not stop the continuous decline in altitude.

Just when the huge space station was about to fall into the clutches of gravity, an indicator light representing the ground connection status of the laser interception system changed from red to blue, and then, a string of indicator lights continued to turn blue as if it had been infected, and the high-power interception laser cannon represented by each lamp was like a warrior who had awakened, using its own light enough to melt the meteorite to directly burn through the engine adsorbed on the shell, igniting the solid fuel inside. Blow up these devilish devices that almost sent Icarus and more than a billion people to hell into pieces of space junk.

"Boss, over there."

When the last red dot disappears from the screen. Jiesi's voice pulled Ling Yu back from her imagination, and the girl stretched out her hand and pointed to a phone in the distance that shone green, which was a quantum communication device.

And on the other end of the phone, of course, it was the President of the Alliance, and all the officers in the Washington theater of operations.

Ling Yu hugged Jiesi and walked to the side, in fact, he could let go of the girl in his arms, but the young man thought that such a moment. Leaving her aside was too much.

Without the girl, there would be no victory for yourself.

Ling Yu hugged Jiesi, while the girl picked up the phone and put it to Ling Yu's ear.

The young man took a deep breath, and there was no sound in the microphone. It seems that something is waiting on the other side.

"I'm Ling Yu, and the ground interception and control system has been launched."

"The crisis is over, the area is secure, and the evacuation is requested."

"Over."

Instead of putting the phone back in place, Jiesi put it on the control table next to her.

Because of the cheers on the other end of the phone, Ling Yu could hear it here.

Although the situation had already been determined from Icarus, Ling Yu's report had completely confirmed the bankruptcy of the "Candlewax" plan.

ACA took several years and was meticulously planned. The plan carefully planned by dozens of TFs and several compilers was completely ended by a courier from Rimlia and a young girl from Reykjavík.

"Reinforcements have already entered the ground control center, and it may take a few more minutes." Jesse stretched out her right hand and projected a screen in the air, "At the speed just now, Icarus will only be captured by Earth's gravity in 15 seconds. ”

"I wish it wasn't so thrilling." Ling Yu walked out of the control room with Jiesi in his arms. His gaze fell on Marshall on the ground.

"I won, not just beat him. And crushed his plans. Ling Yu looked at the corpse on the ground, and Marshall's dilated pupils had closed for some time.

"Because we're right." Jeunse shifted her head and leaned into Ling Yu's arms.

"No, I don't know if we're right." Ling Yu shook his head slightly, "If the person who survives to the end is the right one." Then there is no difference between us and him. ”

"It's just that, the only thing that's certain is that he's wrong." Ling Yu closed the only remaining eye, then opened it and looked at Jiesi in his arms. "Humans need to evolve, but not that way."

"Hmm." Jiesi nodded lightly, close to Ling Yu's heart.

"Looks like I'm going to need a mechanical eye too." As if sensing that the topic was a little too strict, Ling Yu blinked, looked at Jiesi's face full of purple blood, and showed a warm smile, although this smile looked a little strange against the background of blood, but this did not affect the young man's mouth, "Thank you." ”

"Should I call you boss, or should I call you God-sama?"

Jess tilted her head slightly, responded to Ling Yu with a smile, and then half-jokingly asked the question.

"Feel free to do whatever you want." Ling Yu shook his head indifferently and shrugged his shoulders slightly, "Your words, it's fine." ”

Ling Yu hugged the girl in his arms, turned around, and an explosion came from behind him, and a group of TFs wearing protective suits—most of which still showed signs of battle—rushed into the basement with their auxiliary personnel, and quickly took over control of the base.

"Just like in the movies, these strong back-ups are always just a few minutes late."

Ling Yu looked around noncommittally, and finally fell on the medical soldier who unfolded the portable hospital bed and rushed straight over, "But it's finally here." ”

"Without these tricks, how can we reflect the meaning of heroes?"

Jess reached out and helped Ling Yu cut her hair, though it wasn't all that necessary for a bloodied warrior.

"This time, I'm going to carry you out." Ling Yu walked to the hospital bed and gently put Jiesi on the bed, "Isn't it much stronger than that time in Paris?" ”

"Congratulations boss, you have officially graduated from the Savior Training Class." Jess stuck out her tongue, then raised her right hand and saluted pretendically, "It feels good." ”

"Hmm," Ling Yu took Jiesi's hand and nodded.

"Again, your mission is done, no matter which one."

Jeunsy nodded slightly, she understood the meaning of Ling Yu's words: what Jeunse had been tracking down and what she had been looking for, since she met Ling Yu, had been haunting the two of them - the former, that is, the nightmare called "Candle Wax", finally dissipated completely at this moment.

And the latter, which is the task of finding the "son of God", can finally come to an end.

"Rest well, I'll wait for you."

Ling Yu watched as the medic connected Jessie with oxygen, let go of the girl's hand, and returned a military salute, then nodded at the medic and watched the other party push Jessie away.

Then the young man turned around and collapsed on another portable hospital bed behind him.

The hero's time is over, he has lost an eye, and there is a hole more than ten centimeters in his lungs, and now he just wants to sleep well.

Closing his eyes, the young man knew that this matter was far from over, the aftermath would be extremely terrifying, and standing in the center of this storm whirlpool, he would still face many problems that his fists could not solve.

But that's all for the future. (To be continued......)
