Chilly.

Mingyue woke up from the cold, and Xia Xingcheng was on the side, looking at her anxiously. When she opened her eyes, the sky was gray, and it was a world under the dark sun, a world of cold insects. Her consciousness was still a little blurry, but she could hear the roar of guns and the screams of the zergs, and she knew that on the other side of the mountain, the drone swarm was fighting the swarm.

"You're finally awake!" Xia Xingcheng smiled meaningfully and said happily.

"Don't worry, the old lady can't die!" Mingyue said coldly, and was about to get up.

Xia Xingcheng helped her sit up, handed her a bottle of carbonated drink, and said, "You better rest for a while, I think you're going to collapse." ”

Mingyue did feel a dry mouth, and she cooed, and she went down in one gulp with a bottle of drink. Looking around, I saw that on this hillside, there were also mountains of coniferous forests, many of which had been crushed by landing craft. The hillside was crowded with people, and the wounded abounded. Equipment and supplies are scattered everywhere.

Looking back, there were many soldiers shooting at the top of the mountain.

Mingyue asked for a bottle of carbonated drink, and asked while drinking, "Where is Huahu?" ”

Xia Xingcheng said: "He has a little broken wing, and he will be treated in the front field hospital." ”

Mingyue nodded and said, "Then I'll rest assured, this guy has fought hard to protect me." ”

"I'm sorry, Mingyue, it was too chaotic just now, we even messed it all up and couldn't take care of you." Xia Xingcheng said guiltily.

"It's not your fault. You also know that it is very easy to mess up in war, and it would be good if we could pick up a small life, but unfortunately many of our comrades-in-arms died, which was very miserable. ”

Mingyue witnessed many comrades-in-arms being pinched off by vise insects and corroded by poisonous plasma insects.

"I didn't think you could do magic!" Xia Xingcheng looked adoring.

"What magic!" Mingyue smiled, "What kind of magic is there in this world?" I'm mind-controlling, and I'm born with it. ”

Mingyue said, taking out a necklace from her neckline, the pendant was two gems, a diamond, and an amber, both the size of a fingernail. Wrap it with a special material and tie it to a necklace, and then hang it around your neck.

Such a big gem is not something that ordinary people can wear, Xia Xingcheng understands very well, especially the big diamond in front of him, at least hundreds of millions of contribution points.

It should be noted here that the contribution point is the electronic currency of the Ming Dynasty, which is also the legal tender in circulation. The value of each contribution point is approximately equivalent to one yuan RMB in the Old Earth era.

Xia Xingcheng glanced at the two big gems and said, "Sure enough, it's a big star, and the people of the first family can afford such a big gem." ”

Mingyue smiled: "You don't know the function of this gem, do you?" I'll introduce you to it. ”

Mingyue said and picked up the amber and said: "This is not ordinary amber, it is the amber of the Great Bodhi Tree, which is natural, that is, the soul stone, and I rely on it for mental control." ”

After that, he picked up the big diamond again and said, "As for this star worm diamond, it is hung together with the soul stone for the purpose of amplifying the soul wave. So, these two gems are very important to me, and without them, I would not be able to exercise mind control. ”

"That must be worth a lot of money?" Xia Xingcheng asked.

Mingyue said: "I don't know, it was my maternal grandfather who gave it to me, and he said that for our soul masters, everyone has it. By the way, Lao Xia, now that you know my identity, don't tell me. ”

"Don't worry, my big star, this is the top secret of the Ming Dynasty, I am a soldier, of course I know to keep it a secret."

Xia Xingcheng is also surnamed Xia, so Mingyue calls him Lao Xia. And Mingyue herself is not surnamed Xia, if she insists on following her father's surname, she should be surnamed Baizi. However, Mingyue's father, Bai Zixiong, didn't care about this, he was "produced" in the population factory, and Bai Zi was not an ancestral surname.

And the surname Xia is currently the first surname in the Ming Dynasty, so when she signed up for the army, Mingyue changed her name to Xia Mingyue again.

Mingyue suddenly asked, "Lao Xia, to be honest, do you care about me very much?" ”

"Then you still need to ask?" Xia Xingcheng said, "If you have anything to do, I have to raise my head to see the head of the regiment!" ”

"Brother Cheng, you know that's not what I meant," Mingyue suddenly changed her tone, from cold to gentle, and even the title changed, Lao Xia became Brother Cheng.

Although Mingyue is fifty years old, her body age is only twenty years old, and Xia Xingcheng's body age looks like she is only in her early twenties, and her biological age is the same as Mingyue's, and she is also in her early fifties. is only one or two years older than her, so it's okay for Mingyue to call him Brother Cheng.

"What do you mean?" Xia Xingcheng asked knowingly.

Mingyue grabbed his hand and looked at his watch, and the watches of the two people touched together, and there was no red alarm, which shows that the two are not related by blood and can fall in love and get married. And both of them

Mingyue asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Xia Xingcheng actually became cramped and said, "But Mingyue, have you thought about it, you are a princess, and I am just an ordinary person, the two of us ......"

"Are you still a gentleman?" Mingyue said angrily, "Why do you think so much useless? I'll only give you one chance, and if you don't like it, I'll just say ......"

Mingyue was pressuring Xia Xingcheng to ask, when suddenly an officer over there shouted with a loudspeaker: "Everyone get up, pack up your equipment, we have to leave here, the drone is almost unable to resist the Zerg!" ”

Xia Xingcheng helped Mingyue and said, "Let's go, big star, do you want me to carry you?" ”

Mingyue shook him off and walked forward alone, "No! ”

"Hey, slow down!" Xia Xingcheng followed.

The team began to walk down the hill, and on this side of the hill was a valley, and on the opposite side of the valley was another mountain, but there were not many trees on the mountain, and the ground could be seen, and it was also covered with snow.

The above means that it is safe to climb over the opposite mountain, and as for how this definition of safety came about, the soldiers do not know. This is a worm star, insects everywhere, where is the safe place? But since it is an order, it must be executed.

Most of the wounded were carried onto the landing craft, and those who were not injured could only walk, Xia Xingcheng repeatedly asked Mingyue to make a landing decision, but they were all refused.

Dozens of landing craft took off and flew towards the opposite hill first. The other infantrymen followed. On the way down the mountain, the company commander of Company A, Lei Mingdian and Lian Zhu Xia Xingcheng, converged, and gradually gathered the separated brothers together.

Only 30 members of the 102-man company survived, five wounded were treated on the landing craft, and the remaining 25 members were mixed in with the large force, including 15 Taíno and 10 Chinese.
