Chapter 35: Becoming the Ashes of a Volcano
The three or two guards pointed their guns at Dironga, the only one who was still standing in place, and slowly and cautiously retreated together, forming a small encirclement, encircling Dironga, Sally and Shao Yanghui. Dironga lowered his body slightly, tilted his head slightly, and spat out the letter, trying to use the scent to probe the location of the two guards behind him, and there was no fear in his eyes.
"You don't dare to do it, it seems that you know my identity." It turned to look at the guards in front of it and walked slowly.
"Don't move!" The soldier commanded sternly.
"You know too well what Catherine is doing. Even if I die, there will be a second, a third, chasing her like a wild dog that can't be killed. It shouted majestically, and although it was a bit strange from a human point of view to compare itself to a wild dog, its main purpose was to make Catherine notice her, "I have the head of the purge bureau covering me, and your dog commander has long been under our watch!" β
This sentence was like an arrow that could not be stopped, and as soon as it came out of Dironga's mouth, it pierced Catherine's chest from behind. The civil and military attendants who followed her followed her as she froze in place, and did not dare to move as if they were frozen.
Catherine did not talk nonsense, pulled out the gun from her waist, regardless of whether her subordinates were still standing behind her, turned around and immediately pulled the trigger in the direction of Dirunga, while the attendant who was facing the muzzle of the gun could not dodge and was cut off half of his ear by the bullet.
The blood-stained bullet instantly passed through the long corridor leading to the gate of the prisoner of war camp, and although it was originally murderous, because Catherine drew her gun too hastily, it ended up crooked in Dironga's right leg, and did not penetrate the broken lizard's head as she expected.
Dirunga only felt that its hind limbs were weak, its body was crooked, and it fell on the sand, and the moment it fell, it prayed to Catherine not to repair the gun, and thanked God for saving its life. But when it was lying on the ground, it saw Shao Yanghui, who was lying on his stomach, slowly pulling out another poisonous needle and piercing it on the other side of his soft neck.
At the same time, Catherine walked over quickly and kicked Dirunga in the stomach, causing the lizard to vomit a large mouthful of stomach acid, and the sand on the ground was stained with an unpleasant smell.
"Komodos are so disgusting?" She raised her gun again and aimed it at Dirunga's head.
But at this moment, Sally, who was lying next to Dirunga, moved, although she only shook her calf slightly, but it still startled both the guard and Catherine.
"How so?" Catherine muttered to herself, "That missile containing the water of the Silver Lake destroyed the Dark Sea in an instant, and she drank a cup directly just now...... is the 'blessing' really so strong?" β
She didn't care whether the Dironga on the ground was dead or not, she stepped directly over it, came to Sally's side, and pulled the clothes on Sally's shoulders vigorously, remembering that when she begged Olikser to give Sally a "blessing" before she joined the expeditionary force, Olixse just called Sally, fed her some anesthetic, and gently patted her shoulder, leaving a "blessing". Thinking about it this way, there must be some marks on Sally's shoulder, right?
The clothes were pulled down, but Catherine didn't see anything, and Sally's shoulders were just ordinary scars, presumably from the expedition. Feeling incredulous, she looked over the other shoulder, but still found nothing special.
"Commander, she's awake." Suddenly, a soldier reminded.
Ekaterina hurriedly looked at Sally's face, only to find that Sally had already opened her eyes, with a look of "I saw you for a long time and you didn't notice?" ".
"Looks like the curse has been lifted." Sally pulled her clothes back and patted the sand off her body, with an unconcealable joy in her eyes, "Although you have become unknown to me, there is one thing that you have kept very well. β
"What?" Catherine looked at Sally who was gradually sitting up, her body trembled, and she didn't know whether it was joy or fear. What is there to be joy in? This means that President Olix, her adoptive father, is not something that can be easily killed with the waters of the Silver Lake. Fear, what is there to fear? It's not surprising that people with "blessings" have become monsters and are difficult to destroy!
"Your plan always works, you succeeded, the Dark Spell ......" Sally was suddenly stunned for a moment, she had never heard the word Dark Spell before, how could she blurt it out?
"So this thing is called Dark Spell." Catherine bowed her head slightly, thoughtfully.
"That's right, it's finally gone." Sally chuckled softly, "One more thing, you haven't changed a bit. β
"Huh?"
"Still so daze-like."
"I'm just thinking!" For some reason, Ekaterina felt two cool things on her face, and she wanted to reach out to wipe them, but she was held tightly in Sally's arms. The others seemed to be light bulbs at this moment, and several soldiers hurriedly looked around, not knowing where to put their eyes.
"It's too dangerous for you to kill Olix, there's a suitable person to do it for you."
"Who is it?" She was lying on Sally's shoulder with a happy face, maybe it would be nice to think of Sally as a friend?
But suddenly, she felt a heat in her abdomen, something dripping out, and Sally gently let her go so that she could slowly look down and see what was happening.
It was a dagger that was inserted into Catherine's lower abdomen, and the warm blood flowed through her thigh, eventually absorbed by the dry desert.
The three soldiers surrounding them immediately raised their guns and aimed them at Sally, but Shao Yanghui, who was lying on the ground, suddenly bounced up like no one else, instantly knocked down the person behind him with his elbow, and immediately knocked down the other two enemies after snatching his gun.
"Fortunately, the venom of my two needles can cancel each other out." He took a long breath and turned his gun to the gate of the prisoner of war camp, where the crowds of guards had already run towards them when they heard the gunshots, and the corridor opposite the gate of the prisoner of war was crowded.
"It seems that conflict is inevitable." After Shao Yanghui eliminated the soldier who was elbowed by him just now, he threw the other two guns on the ground to Sally and Dironga, who limped to his feet, "I still have to go back to Earth to go to my son's grave, please cheer up!" β
"Heh......" Sally kicked away the gun in front of her, grabbed Catherine's back collar, pulled out the dagger on her lower abdomen, and put the blade against her neck, "Who dares to shoot!" β
"I'll cover your rear!" Shao Yanghui came behind Sally with a gun, and turned to the desert desert where no one was empty, but he still used it as cover.
Perhaps because of the leg wounded by Catherina, the great lizard Dirunga now resembles an angry fire-breathing dragon, raising its gun and shooting at Catherina's people, shouting Komodo Stars.
Immediately afterwards, a huge cannonball smashed into the door of Camp 26, Sally and the others immediately ran farther to the sand, and the soldiers inside took the opportunity to rush up and protect Catherine, who was slumped in place.
Hearing a loud noise, the scorching air wave and dazzling fire instantly swallowed most of the hull of the No. 26 prisoner of war camp, Sally and they were also swept away by the air wave more than ten meters away, and here, there is a black and purple spaceship slowly descending, there is a large amount of open space and large glass windows that can be opened, and the luxurious banquet hall and extraordinary tables and chairs inside the spaceship make people think that this is just a simple commercial banquet spaceship at first.
At the head of the spaceship, behind the huge and solid windshield, stood two people, one tall and one shortβLiu Jin, the president of the Linglan Chamber of Commerce, and the leader of the Dawn Legion, Hamili.
Seeing Hamili wave his hand lightly, Liu Jin stepped forward, leaned into Hamiri's ear, and after whispering a few words to each other, Liu Jin nodded his head and pressed a few buttons on the console. In an instant, countless drones carrying cheap but lethal white phosphorus bombs poured out from both sides of the purple-black spaceship, and nearly 100 fighters piloted by the Linglan people also rushed out from under the desert in different locations on the planet, rushing to the sky where the second and third expeditionary forces were hidden, and above the No. 26 prisoner of war camp, the sky that was originally as clear as a mirror instantly became like a mottled rag, the fireball of the explosion was red and bright, and the fragments of the spaceships of the Linglan people and the expeditionary force fell from a high altitude one by one, and the sand was constantly raised to form a sand pit.
It's just that, from Sally's point of view, she couldn't see anyone on the spaceship at all, she thought it was President Olixer who came to Linglan, and when she was about to use her ability to devour the spaceship, the palm of her hand that was supposed to be burning with black flames actually flashed with a dazzling green light, illuminating the large space around her.
"Chen Linhao?" She suddenly remembered his name, and instantly understood why she had blurted out the word "Dark Spell".
When he gradually lost consciousness in that darkness, the last place where his memory stayed was not the missile that Catherine hit near him, but was completely torn apart, but Chen Linhao's sentence: "I have decided, bet on your side." β
"Thank you, Boss Chen." She staggered to her feet, and found that Dirunga, who had just happened to be wrapped in green light, had recovered her original appearance, and there was no sign of injury on her legs, "Now we don't have to worry about dying on the battlefield." β
The moment she clasped her hands together, there was another green light, this time, this light wrapped her, and Sally, who was wrapped in light, was not afraid of the guards who rushed out of the prisoner of war camp, and when the bullet opened a wound on her body, these wounds healed faster, and the fragments flying from the sky and the green light emitted by this emitted were like the same poles of a magnet, repelling each other, and could not get close to Sally at all.
"Catherine!" She ran towards the pile of corpses at the point of the previous explosion, and under the burning corpses was probably Catherine, who might still have a trace of breath. If you want to end the war quickly, you can only start with this "best friend".
Sure enough, when she approached these charred corpses, suddenly a delicate palm stained with black ash stretched out from under the corpses, and under the urging of the desire to survive, the outstretched arm seemed to have endless strength, and the charred human body pressed on the body was pushed away one by one, and a head with long blue and white hair was exposed.
Sally immediately drew the dagger from her other boot and threw it at Catherine, but suddenly, an expeditionary force that had been shooting at Sally dropped her gun and desperately blocked in front of Catherine, the dagger was completely stuck in his chest, but it could not make him fall to the ground. He fell to his knees and stretched out his hands forward, trying to stop Sally from approaching Catherine. And Catherine also realized the danger, she glanced at Sally expressionlessly, although her delicate face was a little pale and haggard at this time, but the skin that was maintained day by day hinted at Catherine's daily pampered life.
This made Sally stunned for a moment, Catherine was like a beautiful porcelain doll, at this moment, she couldn't bear to start, her pace involuntarily slowed down a lot, and finally stopped in front of the soldier who stopped her, and Catherine had already taken advantage of this precious time to roll out from under the corpse and flee towards the prisoner of war camp.
Catherine's purpose is also to kill President Olixer, what if she is let do it instead of leaving the danger to Hamiri? But when she was surrounded by three soldiers just now, in order to facilitate the kidnapping of her, he had already stabbed Catherina, if she survived and did not have the constraints of the president, would she, Linglan Xing, and even Hamili have a good end?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Sally sighed, drew a dagger from the chest of the soldier who was still kneeling in front of her, but his body was getting cold, and walked towards the prisoner of war camp.
The wounded Catherine couldn't run fast, but she happened to crash around and crashed into the private spaceship berthing cabin of the prisoner of war camp, where more than a dozen old but well-maintained spaceships were on display, and Ekaterina looked back at the chasing Sally, relieved, there was still a long distance between them.
She opened the hatch of a spaceship in front of her, probably because the system of the Blue Python Group still retained her command authority, and she could enter and exit at will anywhere, so the process of opening the spaceship was effortless, but when she stepped on the spaceship, the hatch was closed with only a crack left, and one hand grabbed the door of the spaceship.
This startled Catherine, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Look for death." After a low curse, the ship was activated, and the exit hatch of the ship from the prisoner of war camp was quickly opened, and the flames of war outside shone into the otherwise dimly lit berthing module. Then, with a loud bang, a dazzling white light erupted from the tail of the ship, and the private spaceship, carrying Catherine and Sally, rushed out like an arrow through the blasting prisoner of war camp and into the sky.
"Tsk......" Sally slammed the door, watching the shattered prisoner of war camp under her feet get smaller and smaller, the sudden drop in temperature made her consciousness almost frozen, and the white mist produced when she breathed and the frost that could be seen everywhere on her body hinted that Sally would soon be frozen into an iceman.
But then she felt a warmth again, and this warmth came from under her feet. At this moment, the spaceship was flying over a huge crater, this volcano raised from the surface of the earth was a rare sight on the flat desert as far as the eye could see, and the hot red magma was rolling wildly in the volcano, and the heat made Sally even want to sweat at this high altitude. And the spaceship happened to slow down at the moment, probably, Catherine wanted to leave her here and let her turn to ashes.
"You're a ruthless monster." Sally mocked herself at the person who was once the most important to her, she had long noticed the small electronic screen used to verify the permission by the hatch of the spaceship, I don't know whose spaceship it is, and I don't know if an ordinary guard has the authority to open it, it's a good bet. It doesn't matter if she loses the bet, at least she saw Catherine's true face before she died, in this case, asking too much, such as saving Linglan and assassinating the president, will only increase anxiety.
"Prisoner of War camp guard Sally, ask permission to open the hatch." Her other hand was on the screen, trying to get closer to the screen so that her voice could be heard.
Immediately after that, something unexpected happened-
The pale pink footpegs quickly stretched out to catch Sally's dangling feet, and the hatch that had been holding her left hand tightly opened as it slowly opened, and Sally seized the opportunity, and when Catherine scrambled to close the hatch, she had already rushed in.
The atmosphere froze suddenly, but unexpectedly, at this moment, the spacecraft automatically broadcast a voice.
"Welcome to Ms. Sally's first visit to Varvara's private spacecraft. Da la da drip! "It's Valvara's pre-recorded voice, probably because the ship's camera captured Sally's face, recognized it, and automatically played it.
Immediately afterward, the ship fell silent, save for the sound of the two of them breathing and the slight rumble of the engines.
"It turned out to be your bale captain's spaceship." Ekaterina broke the silence of the lake and pulled a long, thin knife from her sleeve, "I don't know if its corpse is rotten or not." β
Sally ignored her, just staring at the knife with her eyes, but she didn't mean to act.
Suddenly, the tip of the knife stabbed like lightning, but Sally had no intention of dodging, and in a flash of lightning, the blade pierced her palm, but Sally used her bloody hand to pass through the blade and through the hilt, wrapping Catherine's hand holding the knife.
"You ......" Catherine shuddered as she looked into Sally's cold eyes.
"Command: Open the hatches on both sides of the ship." Sally let go of Catherine, and Ekaterina gave up her knife in an instant.
"Yeka," Sally skillfully pulled the knife out of her palm, a battle scene she had experienced many times, "is there anything else you have to say?" β
"What are you going to do!" Sweat was dripping down her cheeks, the wounds on her body ached, and her legs were already shaking.
"Any last words?" Sally prompted simply. Listening to the other party's last words is for the sake of Catherine and her former best friends.
"What's in it for you to kill me!"
"There are so many regrets and separations, as well as, exploitation and betrayal between us." Sally said calmly, "Ten years of fighting have not taught me the ability to deal with these emotions, and I may only feel better if I kill you." Yu Gong, you are the commander of the expeditionary force, no matter what, if you live, you are a threat to Linglan. β
"If I'm dead, you really don't have any friends!" Catherine cried out, the emotional card was the last means she could use, but it was a bit stupid to play the emotional card with a commander + executioner.
Sally just stepped forward, without giving Ekaterina any time to react and say a word, her hands pushed her shoulders, and Ekaterina just felt that her already weak body was tilted back, and she fell out of the spaceship uncontrollably, and her knife was also thrown out of the spaceship by Sally.
Beneath the spaceship, right in the center of the crater, Catherine struggled to fall from the ship, drowning in hot magma in an instant.
