Chapter 39: The Core of the Star
Seeing the prisoner of war camp gushing with fire, the hundreds of spaceships above the stars instinctively retreated a hundred meters, despite this, the rolling heat wave still triggered the early warning system of many spaceships, and the sand and dust stirred up made everyone's vision blurred, and the Dawn, which was closest to the prisoner of war camp, was directly washed by the shock wave of the explosion more than ten meters away before being swallowed by the firelight.
"Wow-" The strong vibration caused Hamili to fly directly out of the wheelchair, and Dironga saw that the situation was not good, panicked, stepped on the rolling debris, weapons, and garbage, kicked the wall of the spaceship, flew away, grabbed Hamili's arm, and then immediately pulled him into his arms.
"Lying on the ......" it grabbed Hamili in its arms, and rolled several times with the ship that rolled backwards, and the feeling of the world spinning made it take turns to say the Komodo stars, but the ship did not stop until it collided with several ships above the stars and planted them into the sand dunes with them.
"How can this surnamed Shao ......" Before Dironga, who was lying on the ground, could finish speaking, a wheelchair suddenly flew in and smashed on its head.
At the same time, in the continuous explosions and firelight, the pale green protective cover tightly covered Sally and Shao Yanghui, who thought that he was going to die, vaguely saw a figure in the firelight, it must be Sally.
He pressed his hand on the sand, trying to support himself up, but found that the sand was already hot, looking at the firelight around him, smelling the smoke of gunpowder and the smell of burnt flesh and blood in the air, Shao Yanghui suddenly spit out.
"Are you scared?" Sally turned her head slightly and said to Shao Yanghui behind her, "The people in the deacon are scared and vomit, and if they spread it, they will lose adults." ”
"But you kept a hand, I really didn't expect it." He rubbed the corner of his mouth slightly, "In addition, maybe I should explain to you by now, I am Shao Yanghui of the Blue Python Black Hole Intelligence Bureau, and Bixalas is just a random name." Pretending to be a deacon house because of a mission. He said as he slowly got up from the ground.
Shao Yanghui's answer made Sally immediately think of the 3D projection that was killed by a shot on Catherine's spaceship, and the moment when he came to the gate of the prisoner of war camp and met Catherine, Shao Yanghui risked his life to draw a poison needle, intending to kill Catherine, "The mission is to assassinate the commander?" ”
He put his hand in front of his forehead, trying to block the glare of the fire, "There is also the 'blessing' that recovered you, but probably because Catherine gave you a drink of the silver lake water, your 'blessing' is gone." ”
"Part of the reason...... Sally said, putting her hand on her chest, "Chen Linhao gave me all his power to counteract the Dark Spell. I guess so. ”
"Oh?" Hearing the word "Dark Spell", Shao Yanghui frowned, how could she know this word? This is a top secret, as the Dark Spell has a very close relationship with the Blue Python President. Could it be because of Chen Linhao? Chen Linhao was just an ordinary little gray fox in the northern forest of the earth, and among the animals in the northern forest, there are many legends and even secrets about the president of the blue python.
"Now that you're awake, come with me. Chen Linhao's remaining strength is afraid that it won't last long. Sally suddenly interrupted Shao Yanghui's thoughts, and quickly moved towards the center of the explosion, and Shao Yanghui, who was originally half-kneeling, hurriedly followed behind her, lest he accidentally get out of the protective shield.
Shao Yanghui didn't understand why he went to the center of the explosion, Sally went over like this, maybe because there were weapons hidden in the prisoner of war camp that could turn the situation, if this was the case, no matter how she acted after that, I am afraid it would be completely out of control, and the secret of the president of the blue python might be revealed to the outside world by Sally, and even the enemy of the blue python.
Unlike Chen Linhao, Chen Linhao will only sell his information as a commodity, and like this secret of the president of the blue python, he will definitely offer a sky-high price, from another point of view, the probability of Chen Linhao revealing the word "dark spell" is very small. And Sally, judging from various actions, has gone to the opposite side of the blue python, and one day, she will become an extremist like Zane, and the secret of the "dark spell" will also be revealed, followed by a series of destruction plans against the president.
Shao Yanghui followed behind Sally, thinking about what to do next, the green glimmer emitted by the protective shield had long been swallowed by the light from the strong explosion around him, and his eyes were stunned and painful by this dazzling light; The vibration of the ground made every step of his and Sally's walk extremely difficult, and the heat that was not completely shielded from the shield smashed into their faces. Obviously, without this protective cover, they would have been burned to the ground, and there would be no slag left.
Although he fully understood this, Shao Yanghui's eyes still did not waver, he looked at Sally's back, sighed, and then took out the photo of his son from his arms, and his two thin and withered fingers held the yellowed photo that had been placed for nearly thirty years and had been seen I don't know how many times. But this time, after taking out the photo, Shao Yanghui didn't even look at it, but silently said "sorry" in his heart, and then slowly loosened the photo and let it roll in the air with the heat wave.
Until the elusive heat wave turned in the air and sent the photo to Sally's side, the sudden floating unknown object made her quickly reach out and grab it.
"Photos?" She looked at the old photo, and the child on it looked like Shao Yanghui's son, and these two people looked too similar. "You've dropped something."
Just as she turned back, a poisonous needle stabbed at her like the wind, Sally's afterglow just saw the approaching danger, she immediately raised her hand to knock the poisonous needle out of the protective shield, the silver needle immediately disappeared into the firelight, and the photo of the escape immediately rushed out of the protective shield with another wave of heat, and disappeared in an instant.
Shao Yanghui obviously didn't expect Sally to react so quickly, he wanted to pull out another poisonous needle, but Sally was already one step ahead of him and pulled out the needle for him.
The silver needle was immediately erected in front of Shao Yanghui, and a trace of murderous aura flashed in Sally's eyes.
"I really haven't seen anyone in the deacon office use anything like this." She is still holding the needle, "There are two needles with a design that cancels each other's toxicity, which is quite creative." ”
And Shao Yanghui, knowing that he was not Sally's opponent, quickly broke off the idea of resisting, although he is not a person who loves to give up, but in front of the situation where the victory and defeat can be seen at a glance, it is better to die with dignity than to struggle desperately. He stood quietly on the desert, the extremely high temperature around him couldn't stop the cold sweat he was pouring out, and his otherwise calm face was now a little more nervous, but despite this, he still looked at Sally as calmly as possible.
"You're so sensitive." Sally threw the other needle out of the protective shield as well, "Just one look at your son's picture, you're going to kill me?" ”
Sally's words made Shao Yanghui stunned, it seems that she has not realized that the word "dark spell" is the reason why she is killed, and further thought, Sally may not know the importance of the meaning behind this word at all, maybe, at least in the short term, she will not pose a threat to the president, this word is still in a state of ignorance in Sally's head. If so, maybe there really isn't a need to rush to kill Sally, at least not as much as you are now.
"That's my son." He continued the topic and said, "I used to work for the enemies of the blue python, so ...... Anyway, I don't really want people to see his picture. ”
"I'm sorry about that." She pointed to a piece of fire outside the protective cover, "But we have to hurry up and go to the core of the explosion, I can feel that Chen Linhao's remaining strength is getting weaker and weaker." It won't be long before we'll be like that picture, turning to ashes. ”
"What are you going to do in the core?" As if he had been confused, Shao Yanghui quickly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, and finally made up his mind to die with Sally, and even broke off his last thoughts, but found that he was a little too anxious, and there was no need to do so at all.
"In your experience, is the current explosion caused by Zane?" Sally continued to walk briskly forward.
"This ......" He knew that Zane's mechanical heart was completely controlled by E, and maybe even his entire mechanical body could be remotely operated by E, then, in such a body, it was even possible that E hid a bomb, and the moment Sally killed Zane, the bomb was triggered. There are many groups in the universe that treat life like grass in this way, planting bombs in the bodies of employees, and detonating them at critical moments to turn the situation around, and the stars are such groups. However, no matter how powerful a bomb is, it won't explode all the time like it does now, right?
Shao Yanghui looked at the dazzling in front of him and frowned, "It can't be that your prisoner of war camp is really preparing to rebel, and then hiding some lethal weapons, and now it's blowing up with you, right?" ”
"Of course not." Sally hurriedly explained, "It's my business to save the Linglan people, and it's almost as if Camp 26 was affected by me. ”
"Then you really don't take your brothers' lives seriously." Shao Yanghui laughed, his eyes and tone were full of helplessness and sarcasm, "I thought that the commanders who were born and died on the battlefield regarded their subordinates as siblings. ”
"Oh?" Shao Yanghui's sudden change of attitude made Sally feel incredulous, "Could it be that the expeditionary force is like this in your eyes...... Decency? ”
"Probably." Shao Yanghui shook his head and fell into memory slightly, "In the past, when I was on Earth, I was a member of the military, at least I felt that my comrades-in-arms around me were very righteous, and I would do anything for them...... Actually, I joined the blue python because one of my brothers was killed. ”
Hearing this, Sally stopped slightly, but soon she regained her speed and continued walking, searching for something on the ground as she went.
"It's not that the blue python killed him, but someone else. But with my strength, I couldn't make those people pay, so in the end, I made an agreement with the president that I would do things for it and it would help me avenge me. It's just that I didn't expect to do things for it, and while doing it, I went abroad, went to the sea, and then went out of the earth. After I left Earth, I never had the chance to see my son and wife again...... I don't know what's going on on Earth, but probably, the Blue Python's power is already weakening, otherwise it would have protected my family. ”
Sally listened to Shao Yanghui's recounting of the past, while carefully looking at the slightly blackened sand in front of her, but she felt a little upset, "Actually, I joined the expeditionary force for others. ”
"For Catherine?" Shao Yanghui couldn't think of a second person who could make Sally do this.
"Probably because she's the president's daughter. Foster child. Sally corrected, "So I was sent into the universe a year or two before me, and I became a commander. ”
After saying this, Sally felt a lot more comfortable, and besides, she seemed to have found what she needed.
"You who have family members and joined the Blue Python in the later period actually don't understand the essence of the Blue Python Group's thinking at all." She crouched down and lightly touched the sand with her hand, "I, and Zane, are both orphans created by the wars of various countries on Earth, and the first rule taught after being sent to the Blue Python Orphanage is that as long as we can win, we can do anything." ”
"Catherine must have thought so, but like me, what she wants to win in the end is not what the blue python wants." Sally said as she gently peeled back a thin layer of grit from the surface, revealing a black, wet trail hidden underneath, "That's why, even if Olikser was her adoptive father, she would put it to death." ”
With that, Sally stood up from the sand, "The Ibiaz people are just a ball of light, and if I hadn't been 'blessed', I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of anything in this world that could trap light." ”
"What did you find?" Shao Yanghui became nervous again, and as soon as Sally mentioned it, he would start to panic.
"When I confronted Catherine at the gate of the prisoner of war camp before, I learned some key information from your mouth."
She took a few more steps forward, and finally, on the sand covered in the hot firelight, she saw nearly a hundred iron boxes, and the cores of stars were flying out of the boxes one after another, rushing towards the bright and dazzling sky.
"Catherine spread the power of Olikser among different people in order to facilitate small-scale experiments and find a way to break the dark spell. That's logically fine, but with what I know about her......"
As they got closer and closer to the core of the explosion, Sally's voice was gradually drowned out by the explosion sound of the collision of energies around her, and Shao Yanghui's gaze moved upwards with the cores of the stars, and finally in the brightness, he vaguely saw a huge, scorching orb!
He instantly understood that the reason for the constant explosions was not what weapons were hidden in the POW camp, but that the Ibiaz, or the core of the stars, who were imprisoned by Catherina, escaped from those special iron boxes, collided with each other, and converged. It was the collision of clouds of energy that caused a constant explosion, and eventually pieced together a huge star that, according to the composition of the Ibiaz body, may still have self-consciousness!
"Sally!" Shao Yanghui wanted to pull Sally out of here immediately, but Sally pushed away the iron boxes, and under the iron boxes, there was actually a glassware filled with black liquid.
"See, she's not only going to break through these powers, she's going to take them for herself." Sally crouched down slightly, touching the long crack in the glassware, and sure enough, some black liquid was already flowing out of the crack.
"Are you looking for this?" Shao Yanghui also saw the vessel full of black liquid, and he knew the power of that thing, so he didn't want to approach it at all.
"Maybe it's because I've been 'blessed', and I felt it the moment I got close to the POW camp." As she spoke, Sally unscrewed the lid of the glassware, "Otherwise, how could I have drunk the water of the Silver Lake that Catherine gave me so easily, and give up these powers so easily." ”
"Wait." Shao Yanghui stopped Sally, and Sally's fingertips were almost touching a piece of black inside, "After getting these powers, the president will pursue them at all costs, and you may be purged from the bureau, or I will bite you like a mad dog for the rest of your life." ”
"So I'm going to be the second Zane?"
"Probably worse than him, the dark spell will come back against its owner." Backlash is another secret about the president, but perhaps revealing it to Sally now can prevent even more irreparable consequences.
"I knew that, and I found out when I got the 'blessing'. But I can handle it. ”
"This is a 'blessing' from several people, why don't we withdraw and wait for the Blue Python's army to deal with this star?"
"Because when they come, Linglan is gone."
With that, she soaked her entire hand in the black liquid, which pounced on Sally like a hungry wolf that had found its prey.
The thick black exuded a strong smell of blood, and the incomparably bright surroundings that were originally illuminated by the core of the stars were immediately surrounded by black, while Shao Yanghui retreated again and again in an oppressive darkness. If it is said that getting rid of the dazzling light of the stellar core is just out of Longtan, then the current darkness is like entering the tiger's den again.
The huge star also felt the ominous aura that permeated the desert, and it immediately flew towards the higher sky, and at the same time began to spin at high speed, and all around it, both the spaceship "above the stars" and the already dilapidated Dawn began to disintegrate little by little, turning into tiny metal molecules, flying towards the star......
