Chapter 36: Memories and Scuffles
The huge hull of the prisoner of war camp has been scattered under the impact of artillery fire, the high watchtower is broken from the middle, the top of the pointed tower is inserted into the desert, the bottom of the short tower is devastated by bullets, and countless holes of all sizes have been opened on the roof of the ship, from which you can faintly see the Linglan Resistance Army and the Blue Python Expeditionary Force shuttling through it, the light from the laser gun, and the sparks from the cold weapon...... The Linglan people in various armors had already rushed down the purple-black spaceship, and the civilians hiding under the cozy volute finally had the opportunity and courage to take up arms and compete with the invaders of the blue python.
Hamili in the wheelchair looked down at everything that was happening on the ground, his left hand subconsciously stroked his knee, the mottled fox tail that had been burned by the flames, and the incessant explosions around him did not shake the resoluteness and ruthlessness in his eyes at all, with the weapons purchased by Liu Jin as support, the legacy left by Chen Linhao as a guarantee, and the capital accumulated by the family for many years as a promise, it was a matter of time before the expeditionary force was eliminated. The high-density attack and surprise attack made the expeditionary force completely unable to react, they must have regretted despising the natives of Linglan Star, and the vanguard team responsible for infiltrating the enemy's spaceship had already caused damage to the enemy from the inside of the spaceship, no matter how strong the expeditionary force was, it would not be the opponent of the Dawn Legion.
He was worried about only one thing now - Ekaterina still had half a blueprint for the antimatter bomb in her hand. This will be the bargaining chip he uses to threaten President Blue Python, and since he survives, he must do his best to get what he wants.
He looked at the chaotic war in front of him, and his thoughts gradually drifted to memories that had nothing to do with the war-
The moment Chen Linhao pushed him out of the darkness, he felt that he was beginning to fall at a rapid speed, the feeling of weightlessness made him dizzy, and there was still a fire around him, but the flame could not light up his dim vision, as if the sun was also obscured by the black matter that Sally burst out. All he could see was that the fluffy gray tail was quickly scorched several pieces, and it was falling faster and faster.
Until a two-feathered serpent staff that glowed golden light appeared in front of him, the flames around him quickly extinguished, the golden light enveloped him, and the sense of falling quickly disappeared, a somewhat familiar woman hugged him, and her warm arms removed the gray fox tail that wrapped around him.
He ...... Chen Linhao gave you the tail? There was a hint of worry in the woman's eyes, and when she looked at the dark sky again, the worry turned to despair.
"You are ......," Hamili did not answer the woman's question.
"I'm Liu Jin, and I kidnapped you with Chen Linhao on the Desert."
This name shocked Hamili's heart, isn't Liu Jin dead? Did you end up in hell so soon? To the world of the dead?
"We ...... All dead? Tears rolled in his eyes, and Liu Jin didn't answer him this time, just put him on the soft sand, and then he noticed that he had landed on the ground.
"That's the entrance to Wim's bomb research lab, do you want to go down with me to find something?"
I saw Liu Jin spin the staff in his hand a few times, and when he stood up the staff again, it obediently suspended on the sand, following Liu Jin's steps towards the entrance of the laboratory, and the faint golden light illuminated the road ahead.
Hamili suddenly realized that Liu Jin was not killed by an antimatter bomb like Chen Linhao and Sally saw on the spaceship, and that she might be some god of Linglan Star, or some other powerful alien?
"I'll go with you." He dragged his scarred body, trying to keep up with Liu Jin's footsteps, but found that it was difficult to even move his body, and he stumbled and planted himself in the sand.
"Be careful!" Suddenly, a pair of hands with black nail polish grabbed his remaining arm. Hamiri looked back and saw that it was a red-haired woman in a leather suit.
"I'm Miss Ningerwood, the writer and editor of the Afternoon Tea on Fire." Behind Ninglewood, D, who was still forced to obey her, still stands, carrying the small lamp it had taken from the institute with a sad face.
"I know this thing behind you." Hamili pointed at D.
"I'm better than it, otherwise how could it be so obedient?" Ninglewood smiled and looked at D, who reluctantly lowered his head.
Liu Jin, who heard the movement, had already turned around and walked towards them, "Ninglewood, have you found the drawings?" β
"I knew you'd be fine!" Ningerwood smiled and hugged Liu Jin, "You're such a workaholic, crazy like this wind." She let go of Liu Jin and picked up a small and solid safe from D's hand, "The drawings are inside, but the box can't be opened." She shook her head helplessly.
However, Hamili felt that the box was somewhat familiar.
"Where did you get the box?" He asked.
"Doriger's ......office," Ninglewood immediately remembered, "it's your father's office." β
Sure enough.
The words overshadowed the howling wind in his ears and went straight into Hamili's brain, and tears suddenly welled up from his eyes, and then they were carried away by the wind and swallowed by the desert. His thin, short body swayed more and more in the wind, but instead he broke free of Ninglewood's support and limped towards the institute.
The fat man he called "Father", the nasty ghost he called "Father", the planetary traitor who called "Father...... Obviously, he kept saying "it's good if he died", but when he really died, Hamili was the only one who cried for him.
"Hamiri!" Liu Jin grabbed his arm, "Chen Linhao is also dead, but do you think we still have time to weep for the dead!" β
"You want to take care of me!" He had never struggled as hard as he could, but the result of the struggle was that Liu Jin grabbed it tighter, "You......"
The swear words were on his lips, but Hamili had before his eyes the image of Dorigel teaching him not to swear, and the preaching that he most disdained to listen to now constrained him in his memory, and then the memory of his father poured out like a flood of floodgatesβto protect the Gallier estate to Shun Wem; Knowing that Hamili was bullied by his classmates in elementary school, he formed a business partner with his classmate's father, and the other party's family property was lost; When the Galiyah Group faced a crisis of confidence, it came back to life by squeezing employees and hype......
It's not a glorious means, but the purpose is clear: to protect everything you get, and then get more.
Hamili covered his mouth and tried his best to swallow all the cries, and the wind had already wiped away his tears, "Inside the institute, the wind is too strong, if it is a paper drawing, it will be blown away." After speaking, he picked up Liu Jin and walked towards the research institute.
The thick iron gate had been buried more than half of it by sand, but when the door was opened a crack, a sudden hurricane blew them directly into the sand, and when the door was closed again, the stairs inside the institute looked like steps in an ancient tomb, completely covered by sand.
"I'll see." Hamili placed the safe in front of him, and snatched the only small lamp from D's hand.
I saw that there was a large groove on the door of the safe, which was shaped like a lion's head, and only when the groove was filled, you could enter the code to open the safe.
The lion's head Hamiri was all too familiar, and without hesitation, he took out the family crest that probably belonged to his brother from his trouser pocket, and stuck the lion's head into the groove, and then heard a crisp sound, and a small iron shell was popped out of the corner of the top center of the safe, and after the iron shell was removed, there was a small screen for entering the electronic password.
"Just crack the code and leave it to me, maybe you can go see your father?" He's at the bottom. Ninglewood tried to take the safe, but Hamili knocked her hand aside.
"The password is my birthday." With that, Hamili quickly and skillfully typed in a string of numbers, followed by the echo of the metal bar inside the safe as it popped open.
The small door opened, and the faint light instantly shone on the drawing in the safe, and on top of the drawing, there was a letter without even an envelope. It is not so much a letter as a short message.
Hamiri immediately put his hand in, but he didn't touch what must have been left for him. He just picked up the drawings and stuffed them into his arms, not giving Liu Jin and Ninglewood a chance to touch the drawings.
At the same time, the storm outside was over, the wind gradually subsided, and he opened the door of the institute without hesitation, without looking back, as if his father's body no longer existed a hundred meters away, and the message seemed more like it had nothing to do with him.
"Liu Jin." Ninglewood looked at her worriedly, "Hamili is just a child, you're pushing too hard. β
But Liu Jin just chuckled, and his voice was full of negation, "Ningerwood, he doesn't want to be an ordinary child." Then, she took the message out and put it in her pocket, "This momentary growth shows that he has a strong desire for something, and this desire can lead us headless flies who live in steal." Now the people of Linglan need an outstanding leader, otherwise they will always be cowering in that purple-black spaceship. I believe Hamili is the right person to do so. β
At this time, Hamili was bathing in the first rays of light pouring from the sky, and the word "Legion of Dawn" returned to his mind.
But suddenly, he felt dizzy and sat down on the ground, and Liu Jin and Ninglewood also noticed the abnormality and immediately rushed out.
A woman with long blue and white hair and a black military uniform appeared in front of Hamili, and behind her, in addition to the large number of expeditionary forces she had brought, there was also a purple-black spaceship loaded with refugees from Linglan Star, but this spaceship was already surrounded by heavily armed soldiers and warplanes hovering in the air.
"Commander of the Blue Python Expeditionary Force, Catherine." She stretched out her right hand, and Hamili could only use his remaining left hand to shake her a few times, "I came to look for the blueprints of the bomb, but I didn't expect that there were already people inside." I don't think you're going to get anything out of it, are you? β
Hamili did not hesitate, he immediately took out the drawing, biting the upper part of the drawing with his teeth, while his hand quickly tore off the lower part and stuffed it into Catherine's hand, "I have conditions. Then he took the drawing from his mouth and stuffed it into his clothes with lightning speed. Wait for the evacuation of the refugees," he pointed to the purple-black spaceship, and the Linglan people on the spaceship, without exception, were all looking at the one-armed child, "and then give the other half to you, and I can be a hostage here before that." But if you want to grab it, I'll have to set myself on fire. β
His tone was very flat, but it could not be refuted.
"How old are you?" A hint of appreciation flashed in Catherine's eyes.
"Ten years old." Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, "Maybe I'm just eleven years old today." β
"When I become the president, I will train you well, let you sit in my position, and be the supreme commander of the expeditionary force." With that, Ekaterina turned around gracefully, "Withdraw the army and let the Linglan people go." β
Hamili still doesn't know how he made his judgment so quickly, and he couldn't imagine that Liu Jin would introduce himself to all the surviving Linglan people on the spaceship, obviously he is the son of a traitor, but when Liu Jin trusts him, these Linglan people also begin to choose to go to the trouble for themselves.
"Hamiri." Suddenly, Liu Jin pulled him out of his memories, "It's almost time to capture these expeditionary forces, maybe you can breathe a sigh of relief." β
Then, she took out the message she had collected earlier, "Don't you want to take a look?" Dorrigel wrote to you. β
"Nope." Hamili turned his head in resistance, "It's nothing more than justifying his actions." I can understand, after all, he has a responsibility to protect the family, but I am different. β
With that, he got up from his wheelchair and picked up the crutches with his mounted mechanical right arm, "What I want to protect is the entire Linglan." Whatever the method. β
But immediately after, there was an explosion at the tail of the spacecraft, and an ominous aura came to the face.
"What's going on?" Hamili immediately pulled out his gun, but was pressed into a wheelchair by Liu Jin.
"You're worth a lot more than me, I'll take a look."
And just then, a short, sturdy figure broke into the command room. "Don't look at it, C43 Expeditionary Force Commander, Jason, come and arrest you, little brat."
It turned out to be the waste commander of the ship, and Hamili held the wheels on either side of the wheelchair tightly with both hands. I didn't expect him to be careless, and only cared about attacking the expeditionary force brought by Catherine, but he neglected to defend, forgetting that Linglan Star was not only Wim, Chen Linhao, but also Jason.
"I robbed your spaceship and renamed it the Thamber, you must be very upset, right?" Hamiley turned his back to Jason and put on a look of contempt for the other party, while Liu Jin on the side had already pointed his gun at Jason.
"You think you're the only one who will steal other people's things?" Jason taunted Hamili as he looked at the ship, "You're just a kid, what are you dreaming about?" Today, you're going to dieβ"
"Bang!"
The sudden gunfire froze Jason, who hadn't raised his eyebrows much, and he touched his forehead, only to find blood coming out.
"I said it all, I'm Shao Yanghui of the Intelligence Bureau, and I have a secret order from the president, so I don't let you get involved, you have to behave." Shao Yanghui said as he threw the snatched pistol on the ground.
Immediately after, he raised his hands and came to Liu Jin, "The A-level expeditionary force of the first fifty is suspected of mutiny, except for the ones you are fighting, the others have been arrested and reviewed, in order to express gratitude to Linglan for his great dedication, the president has sent the Zero Armed Forces and the Clearance Bureau to support you." β
"And send troops?" Hamili quickly turned the wheelchair to Shao Yanghui, and poked his crutches at him, but Shao Yanghui didn't look at it, so he caught it with one hand, "Follow your blue python shouting, I'll tell you, how many come, how many I will kill!" β
"The vicious tone doesn't scare these cosmic bandits." As he spoke, Shao Yanghui pointed to the silhouettes of the densely packed spaceships under the sunset, looking at it from a distance, it looked like a locust, which made the Linglan Star, which didn't birds, suddenly set off a more desperate atmosphere.
"It's your people?" Liu Jin gasped, with so many enemies, no matter what tactics they used, it would be difficult to have a chance of winning.
"It used to be." There was some helplessness in his tone, "Now it's a cosmic mercenary organization, 'above the stars', it is said to be a mercenary, but it is no different from a bandit, and the most difficult thing is that there are many members of the Armed Zero who have defected. β
It can really be said that wave after wave of unsettled battles has risen, fighting the expeditionary force, and fighting the cosmic bandits, and the sense of despair gradually spreads from the hearts of Liu Jin and Hamili. But they won't be manipulated by such feelings.
"It seems that Linglan is your chessboard, and you can start a war on our territory casually." Hamili stood up on crutches and stood up strongly, looking at Shao Yanghui with dead eyes, "Tell you, no, but, yes." β
Hamili didn't understand why this organization called "Above the Stars" came, but he didn't say if he could fight such a large number of troops, the planet Linglan alone couldn't withstand more wars, "Liu Jin, send a negotiation signal to them to find out what they are coming for." β
"You want to talk to them?"
"Yes."
However, Liu Jin immediately denied Hamili's plan, "Let me go, you stay, coordinate with the Blue Python for support, if I fail to negotiate with them, you will join forces with the Blue Python and fight again." β
After that, Liu Jin had bypassed Hamili and launched a signal on the console. Through the thick windshield, she saw the remnants of the expeditionary force that had been crushed by complete force, and the Jason troops who had attacked the Dawn at the tail of the spaceship were also quickly wiped out, countless spaceship debris poured down like a torrential rain, and the scattered expeditionary force soldiers were also burned, frozen, or turned into dust by various weapons. This means that the expeditionary force, which was almost all around them, has now become a bandit group "above the stars" who are eyeing them.
When Liu Jin sent the negotiation signal, a cannonball had already flown towards the Dawn, that is, the spaceship they were in, in a hurry, Hamili grabbed the fox tail on his knee and threw it quickly towards the windshield, but he didn't expect that this tail seemed to accept Hamili's order, and immediately emitted a green light, enveloping the entire spaceship, and when the cannonball hit the ship and exploded, Hamili and the others in the spaceship only saw the shocking fire through the glass, wrapping the entire head of the spaceship, and the deafening roar.
