ACT099: Man-made Acts of God
With a slight mechanical sound, an earthy yellow ball jumped out of the dirt and flew up about 1.5 meters high, right in front of Litis. Without time to think about it again, Weiss, who was closest to him, rushed over with an arrow, knocked down Lytis, who was still dazed and at a loss, and then rolled out with the other party in his arms.
"Hey, you ...... guy"
Suddenly pushed to the ground by Weiss, Lytis instinctively wanted to push the other party away, but before she could start struggling, an explosion sounded. Litis, who was protected by Weiss, only felt a sudden shock from the other party's body, and soon some warm liquid dripped onto her face, and Weiss's breathing became a little rapid.
"Weiss!"
The sudden explosion surprised everyone! The earthy yellow ball was actually an anti-infantry jumping mine, fortunately, the killing range was limited, and no one else was injured, only Wess and Lytis were within the splashing distance of the fragments, and all the fragments flying towards them were all blocked by Wess with his body, so Lytis was unharmed.
Misled by the habitual thinking, no one expected that there would be a mine here, after all, under the influence of the magic storm, all devices based on the operation of the guide technology or runes could not function normally. Most of the mines that the three countries had planted in the area had almost exploded by themselves, and Eddie, who had served in the military, could determine by his voice that the mines that had just exploded did not belong to any known mine.
Unsure if there were any other mines, Eddie wanted everyone to stay out of the way, but before he could say anything, Wendy was already desperate to rush over. should always be by the other party's side, but she walked away when the other party was in danger, if Lytis had something to do, then she would feel guilty for it for the rest of her life.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Weiss reacted quickly enough and used his body to block the explosion for Lytis, but he himself suffered a lot of injuries as a result. Wendy ran over to see that Weiss's back had been stained red with blood, and at least four fragments had pierced it, just now, with his current strength, there was no time to enter the awakening state.
"Hey, are you alright?"
"Wendy, I'm fine, but Weiss he's hurt!"
Because of his back injury, Wendy didn't dare to turn Weiss over for fear of touching his wound, so Lytis had no choice but to lie down and use him as a "meat pad". This is the first time since she has grown up so much that a different surname of the same age is so close to her, and in such an indecent posture, the other party is not only pressed on her chest with real benefits, but also her left leg is still between her legs, plus the circle of "onlookers" around her, Litis feels like a fire on her face.
"How's he doing?"
"It's okay, it's all flesh wounds, no bones or internal organs, so let's get up quickly. ”
After examining the wound on Weiss's back, Eddie patted him on the shoulder, implying that you kid is almost "cheap" to take advantage of, and you know that "if you see it, you will take it", so Weiss groaned and got up from Lytis, and the pain caused by the wound made him only inhale cold air.
"Shh~! Damn, why are there mines here?"
"You ask me, I ask who is going?"
Because there is no "saint" in the team, the role of "team doctor" is temporarily replaced by Lena, who claims to have learned medical skills from her mother for a period of time, but judging from the other party's shrapnel and suturing techniques, she is afraid that she has not learned very well, and the whole stitching process can be described as "punishment", Weiss once wanted the other party to give herself a "happy".
"I didn't expect you to be so strong!" said the stitched as he sprinkled a hemostatic pill on Weiss's back.
"What do you mean by that?"
"You're the first one who can let me sew for so long and haven't screamed for so long!"
“...... I'm honored. ”
Shortly after the mine exploded, a group of unidentified armed men was urgently assembling under a sinkhole about 3 kilometers away from their location. Equipped with extremely sophisticated weaponry, nearly a third of them are pawn owners, and they have just been notified of the appearance of several "intruders" who need to be eliminated as soon as possible before they enter the "realm".
If Lytis were here now, her detector would have discovered that all of the "Forbidden Areas" with a mana concentration of 0 within a radius of about 1,200 meters centered on this sinkhole were completely contrary to the most basic characteristics of the "Magic Storm". That's why you can't see monsters here!
What the armed men were trying to protect was a strange boiler-like device, around which some technicians were being engrossedly debugging. Not far away, a middle-aged man was staring at this side with a nervous expression, but the purple-haired young man opposite him had a relaxed face, while the guard behind him showed an indifferent expression, as if he didn't care about anything.
"Mr. Polivela, don't be so nervous, okay? That is just a jamming device, it can't explode on its own. ”
"But it's meant to cause an explosion, isn't it?"
The middle-aged man named Polivela looked at the purple-haired young man with a smile on his face in front of him, and felt sincerely distrustful of this person. The other party found him one night half a year ago, and without alarming anyone, he appeared in his study so inexplicably, with a mask-like smile as now.
At first, Polivela thought that the other party was an assassin sent by his enemies or political enemies, but the young man sat down across from him, first introduced himself, and then asked him directly.
"Mr. Polivela, do you want to be president of the Republic?"
Bolivela is the No. 2 candidate of Endeavour, and despite the fact that he belongs to the same party as the current president, Barov, the relationship between the two is not harmonious. Polivela is a man with great ambitions and a very radical approach, in a sense, his style of action is quite similar to that of the "Iron Emperor" of the Aaronic Empire.
The current President Barov knows very well that although Polivela is capable, if he is allowed to become president, the Cold War is very likely to turn into a "hot war", and even if the presidential throne is given to Omar of the National Patriotic Party, he must not be allowed to sit on it, so Barov suppresses Polivela everywhere and tries to hide him, and Polivela has been resentful of this for a long time.
The word "president" was like a spell, and Polivela blurted out a "think", and the purple-haired young man opposite saw him answer so simply, and his smile became brighter and brighter, and then he told Polivela about a crazy plan. (To be continued.) )
