Chapter 2: Perseverance (II)
"Snow Shadow, are you alright?"
"You're all right, how can Miss Ben be fine!"
Of course, Qiu Qian knew that her physical strength was far inferior to Snow Shadow, and her actions just now were purely knee-jerk. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Before Qiu Qian could check herself, a red light flashed on the horizon in the distance, and then an energy projectile dragging the tail flame quickly crossed the battlefield and directly hit the main cannon that was accumulating.
The explosion just now must have been caused in this way, but that shot seemed to be missed.
The energy projectile glowed red throughout, and unbiasedly drilled into the polish of the main gun, and then directly penetrated the main body behind the barrel, and the half-accumulated energy storage tank was also destroyed. The massive energy sent the cannon and its base flying, and the explosion tore the Pyramid Vault apart. Numerous metal parts fell, one of which was really good at the Snow Shadow and them.
"Get down!"
Snow Shadow hurriedly jumped to the ground, one hand gathered above his head. The aura of death on the palm of the hand quickly appeared and formed a semi-circular shroud. The metal part was the size of a small car, but it disappeared the moment it touched the black cover, so that Snow Shadow didn't even feel a trace of impact.
If you use an ultra-high-speed camera to record the footage, you will see that the metal first oxidizes and then decomposes into elementary particles in a thousandth of a second, and finally there is nothing left.
"Lost!"
Qiu Qian had no joy of being saved at all, and when she saw that only one-third of the entire pyramid was left, the little luck that still existed in Qiu Qian's heart had completely disappeared.
You need to get at least planetary level to be able to break through the defensive force field of the main body of the fortress in one move. However, monsters of this level will only appear when attacking large fortresses. This fortress like Qiu Qian's didn't need to be prepared at all, and it didn't have the ability to prepare to deal with monsters of this level.
"Qiu Qian, Snow Shadow, are you all right?"
Sun Tao's voice came from the walkie-talkie, and from the noisy background sound, it could be heard that the inside of the fortress was already in chaos at this moment.
"The attack from the main cannon had disturbed a large monster foraging to the south, and it launched two attacks on the fortress. At present, the main structure of the fortress is seriously damaged, and there are a small number of casualties......"
"It's careless!" Qiu Qian didn't care about Sun Tao's report, and fell to her knees without strength, looking at the broken fortress and smiling bitterly in despair.
Qiu Qian, who had never been surprised before, finally showed a frightened expression at this moment. She felt that the loss of the fortress seemed to be a matter of fate, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not change the outcome.
"Qiu Qian, cheer up a little! If you can't hold on, you can still retreat! Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood. β
Of course, Yukikage was also very sad to think that the fortress she had worked so hard to build was about to be destroyed, but she at least had a way to retreat.
Qiu Qian is dead when she stays, and she is still dead when she leaves.
"Snow Shadow, you go and retreat with the fat man, leave it to me here. Qiu Qian quickly adjusted her state, put on a confident look and said to Xue Ying.
"Qiu Qian, what do you mean, do you want Miss Ben to leave you behind?"
"Didn't you promise me that you would obey my command in everything when you were fighting!" Qiu Qian said angrily.
"But...... However......" Yukikage didn't know what reason to use to refuse the swing's order for a while.
"I'm afraid I'll die here, don't be stupid, if I die, who will pilot the spaceship?" Qiu Qian smiled, "If I leave, who will control those mechanical legions, and you will definitely be responsible for arranging the retreat." β
"Okay, then you have to pay attention to your own safety, you will come back as soon as the spaceship is ready, and you must not do risky things!"
"Good, good. β
"Pull the hook!"
Snow Shadow said as she held out her little thumb.
"You're not naΓ―ve, but don't forget what you promised me, and you can't open the death contract without permission. β
After pulling the hook, Snow Shadow left Qiu Qian with confidence.
"Sun Tao, take everyone to evacuate as soon as the spaceship is ready, I will be the defender, and don't question my plan, just do everything according to what I say!"
"Is there really no other way?"
"It's already the best thing to do. I don't have the time or mood to explain to you right now, but I did everything as I said. β
Qiu Qian understands that Sun Tao is not as easy to fool as Snow Shadow, but fortunately, Sun Tao will not be as emotional as Snow Shadow, and he will still think about the overall situation at critical times.
"I will carry out your orders. β
After speaking, Sun Tao immediately cut off communication with Qiu Qian. He knew that Qiu Qian had already made up his mind to do this, and no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be in vain. Born as a soldier, although he was not numb to this parting on the battlefield, he had already accepted it.
After ending the call with Sun Tao, Qiu Qian raised her head and looked at the endless monster in front of her, half unwilling and half regretful in her heart.
"Are you going to punish me with death?"
Qiu Qian recalled the deepest secrets in her heart that she had never told anyone else. Before joining the Ghost Army, Qiu Qian was a secret agent of the military's intelligence department. In fact, the nature of her work is more like a commercial espionage, because her main target is Ye Gaoshan, the president of Stellar Military Industry.
That person was Ye Heng's father. During Qiu Qian's undercover period in the stellar military industry, she found out countless information about the entire group and the Ye family. Even the military's later assassination of Ye Heng's father and son, as well as the success of seizing control of the enterprise, were attributed to Qiu Qian's intelligence gathering.
Of course, Ye Heng didn't know that Qiu Qian had such a black history, in fact, even if she knew, it didn't matter, anyway, her hatred for Qiu Qian had already reached its peak. However, Qiu Qian has always felt guilty about Ye Heng. In addition to protecting Ye Heng is a task arranged by Ye Ling, she herself has always had the idea of atonement.
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Qian's mechanical legion had already been wiped out, and there were at least 80,000 monsters left.
Of course, Qiu Qian knew very well in her heart that whether she could stop it or not was not the point, as long as she died, others would be out of danger. As for what the world will become after her death, that's not something for her to worry about.
Qiu Qian stood up and walked slowly towards the army of monsters, not even wanting to use her abilities. Apologizing with death is definitely not Qiu Qian's style, she originally wanted to use the completion of Ye Ling's task to repay her debt to Ye Heng. But when the authorities developed to the point where she had to die, Qiu Qian could only accept it happily.
At least the world was not destroyed in his hands, and the debt to Ye Heng could be regarded as repaid, and he could get a good reputation in the Nativity Tower for eternity. Compared to if he was to know his secret in the future, he might not know what kind of tragic death it would be.
It's not too bad to think about it this way, but it's a pity that I didn't make it to the end with Snow Shadow.
