Chapter 299: The Road Ahead
After the glowing fox controlled by Chiyo Kanna left, there was no obstacle between Dongdong and Park Sang-woo and the others.
Dong Dong fell motionless in a pool of blood, only blood kept dripping from his mouth, and his pupils were also dilated.
She had been seriously injured in the previous battle with Lucifer, and now the energy supply core in her body has been blown up again, and the most basic energy source to drive the prosthesis is gone.
Without the prosthetic's own life support system, coupled with the fact that her chest was penetrated and she suffered fatal injuries to the vital points, she would die in a few minutes if she didn't even need someone to repair the knife.
Park Sang-woo has no pity for the jade, for the sake of his reputation and future, he directly does things and beckons to his younger brother.
The two brothers swung their prosthetic blades and stabbed at Dongdong's vital point in unison.
"Die!"
At the last moment, a violent sense of oppression suddenly came from the side.
A distorted afterimage rushed into the battlefield, and in a single breath, the flying black hair took over the entire sight of the twin stars like a splash of ink.
The comer leaped in the air, punching and kicking out together, drawing a sharp arc like a water bird spreading its wings.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The twin stars were hit hard in the face at the same time, their noses and eyes were crooked, and their broken teeth flew out several meters away with saliva.
They took several steps back, staggered to their feet, and looked ahead with a frown.
I saw Shangguan Li standing in front of Dong Dong, his long inky hair flying with the wind and snow, and his small body was like an insurmountable barrier.
Park Sang-woo broke his dislocated chin back and scolded: "Oh mom Xiba's cream!" Why are the neuropathies coming one after another today, what are you going to do?! ”
Xuan Hui said with a smile: "Shangguan donor, this woman is a dead end for offending the company on the edge, why are you like this?" ”
Shangguan Li said with a cold face: "I can't control what happened to me recently, and I don't have the ability to take care of it." ”
"But Dongdong is my apprentice, do you want to save me, who is a master?"
Park Sang-woo spat at the blood foam and let out cruel words: "Do you want to pick the three of us one by one?" Believe it or not, kill you on the spot! ”
"Boom-" Shangguan Li's energy supply core rioted, symbolizing an overload of light surging all over the body, high-energy laser beams converged at his fingertips, and the majestic battle intent swept like a huge wave.
The girl, who has always been indifferent and introverted, was boiling with unprecedented killing intent in her eyes at this time: "First to die, who will be the first?" ”
Shangguan Li didn't say a word and directly released the killing move, Park Sang-woo and Park Seung-woo were so frightened that they retreated several steps together.
Hyun Hye also narrowed her eyes, and the frequency of the rosary beads in her hand became a little messy.
"Yaoguangxing" Shangguan Li, among the seven stars of the crescent moon, her nickname is elegant, coupled with her usual preference for chivalry and righteousness, so that many people think she is very bookish.
But outsiders don't know that in the ancient saying, "Yaoguang" is also known as "breaking the army".
Shortly after her debut, Shangguan took on a mission about the Borderlands, and because she was betrayed by a traitor, she and her companions were surrounded by an army of more than 1,000 armed men from outside the country.
In that battle, Shangguan Li did not stop fighting day and night, killing a regiment-sized enemy to the point of only one battalion, and catching up with the traitor with the rout and becoming famous in the first battle.
Later, after she strengthened the Moxue mercenary group and became a supernova, the nickname given to her in the industry was originally taken from the battle of fame, and she wanted to call it "Broken Star".
It was only because of this name that it sounded too evil, and it was somewhat incompatible with Shangguan Li's daughter's body, so he finally took the ancient word of consent and set it as "Yaoguangxing".
Now, outsiders only know that Yao Guangxing is a scholarly and chivalrous, but they don't know how many enemies she made frightened when she broke the army.
At this moment, Shangguan Li was facing the murderous intent of the three people, how could they not be afraid.
Just as the two sides confronted each other, Lucifer, in a pool of blood, let out a dying wail: "Leave her alone. Fast. Help me, I can't do it."
Park Sang-woo and the others showed helplessness in their eyes.
Dongdong was seriously injured, and neither was Lucifer.
If the two sides fight at this time, so that Shangguan Li can't make a move, Dongdong will definitely not be saved, but Lucifer is probably also more auspicious.
If it was to kill Dongdong, Lucifer would not be saved in the end, and the three of them would have put the cart before the horse.
The Park brothers could only bypass Shangguan Li, carried Lucifer on their shoulders on one left and one right, and walked out accompanied by Hyun Hye.
As soon as they walked out of the square, a floating car landed on the street, and dozens of individual aircraft arrived almost simultaneously.
Su Mo rushed out of the floating car, and the fringe mercenaries led by Chu Nanyi also landed one after another.
The Park brothers put the unconscious Lucifer on Hyun Hye's back, one left and one right, and stared at Su Mo with unkind eyes.
The fringe mercenaries also clenched their guns, ready to engage at any time.
However, Su Mo didn't even look at them, and rushed directly to the square.
The marginal mercenaries had no choice but to give up.
The two sides went their separate ways and scattered.
Su Mo rushed to Dongdong's side, looking at the bloody body, he wanted to pick her up, but he was afraid that he would cause secondary damage by moving around, so he could only hiss: "Medical team!" Fast! Fast!!! ”
The medical team members on the edge carried first-aid equipment and quickly connected to Dongdong's body.
Mirai was also present in person, and was anxiously checking Dongdong's injury.
Chu Nanyi, who has always been cynical, grabbed his hair at this time and cried silently: "Commander, I'm sorry. It's that I didn't like her."
Su Mo's whole body was trembling now, but as the head of the regiment, he could only force himself to remain calm, holding Chu Nanyi's shoulder and comforting: "Shhh
At this time, Dongdong's extremely weak voice came: "Boss."
"Knock knock!" Su Mo hurriedly knelt on the ground and held the bloody little hand.
Dongdong's hand was terribly cold, Su Mo put it to his face to warm it, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm here, they will be there in the future, don't be afraid, you'll be fine!" ”
There was blood dripping from her mouth, and she was extremely weak, she pulled the corners of her lips with difficulty, and showed a silly smile to Su Mo: "I helped you fight for this breath."
Before Su Mo could respond, he suddenly felt that the little hand in his palm had lost its strength.
At the same time, the first-aid device also heard the warning sound of "Dididi", which was so sharp that it was about to tear people's eardrums.
The medical team members exclaimed:
"Heart rate missing! The heart stops beating! ”
"All signs have fallen below the critical value! The first aid device didn't work! ”
"Oops. She can't do it anymore."
Rao is the most skilled future, and at this time, his eyes were also full of tears, and he knelt beside Dong Dong at a loss: "No, no, no, no, no, no, there must be a way."
"The vital signs can't be maintained, mainly because the energy supply core is completely destroyed, right, the energy supply core! I need an energy core!! ”
Chu Nanyi immediately rushed up: "Use mine!" Tear down my one and give it to her! ”
Future anxiously shouted: "Yours is useless!" The parameters don't match! There's no time to tune it! I want one that can be matched on the spot! Right. And who! ”
Before calling out his name in the future, Shangguan Xue had already come to Dongdong's side.
At this moment, in a race against time, Shangguan Li didn't even care about his image as a girl, directly tore off his shirt and stabbed into his chest with one hand.
"Poof!" The outer layer of flesh and bionic bones were broken, and she endured the severe pain and directly pulled out the energy supply core in her body.
The energy supply core is similar to a normal human heart, and once pulled out, all prostheses lose power.
Shangguan Li's hands trembled, and he handed the bloody energy supply core to the future with difficulty, and such a simple action alone consumed almost all his strength.
"Take it. My parameters are the same as hers. You can use it directly."
After speaking, Shangguan Li lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.
Su Mo hurriedly helped her up, took off her coat to cover her body, and covered her shame.
In the future, he will obtain a valuable energy supply core, and immediately pick up the relevant tools and start to help Dongdong do emergency surgery.
The sound of the "drip, drip" life detector beats steadily.
In the edge medical room, Dong Dong and Shangguan Li were both lying on the prosthetic maintenance table, their eyes closed and falling into a coma, and they were taking several edge prosthetic doctors for follow-up maintenance in the future.
Su Mo, KK, Chu Nanyi and others were standing outside through the window, waiting anxiously.
After a while, the voice of the future came from the radio: "It's okay here, Dongdong's physical signs have returned to stability, and the head of Shangguan has also been continued by the temporary component." ”
"There's a lot of maintenance to be done later, about two or three days. Go about your business, and don't watch from here. ”
Chu Nanyi's mood had eased up, and he silently rubbed his eyes that were still a little red.
KK sat in the hallway against the wall, still unable to stop sobbing: "Big brother, what should I do with Dongdong."
Su Mo knew that KK was not asking about injuries.
Prosthetic implants, no injuries can not be repaired, and in the future, they will say that they will be fine, and then Dong Dong will definitely be able to recover unharmed.
KK asked about Dong Dong's future life.
This time, with the determination to die, she resolutely withdrew from the edge and went to Lucifer alone to take revenge.
This thing is done very well, and from the perspective of industry rules, it really has nothing to do with the edge.
Because Dongdong has completely gone through the withdrawal process, she is now a free person, and no matter what she does, she will not implicate the team.
But the price is that she has walked her life path to death.
The destruction of Lucifer must have annoyed his father, Mammon.
And Mammon is an executive of the Crescent City branch of the joint company, and in a fit of rage, he uses the company's resources to retaliate, which will be disastrous.
Dongdong's upcoming pursuit is probably several orders of magnitude higher than that of Nuo Bai before, even if she escapes from Crescent City, she will live in the shadow of being hunted for the rest of her life, and she can only be a homeless wild dog for the rest of her life.
Faced with KK's question, Su Mo didn't answer, just patted him on the shoulder: "I'll figure it out, you guys go and rest first." ”
Tonight's night was dark, the snow had stopped, even the howling of the wind was gone, and the whole Crescent City was shrouded in silence, and the silence was a little suffocating.
Su Mo sat in his office, silently looking into the distance through the window, the streets were empty, only the dim street lamps barely illuminated the surroundings.
He was thinking.
Think about the future of Dongdong.
I'm also thinking about my future.
"Knock knock." At that moment, there was a knock on the door, echoing through the silent office.
Su Mo: "Come in." ”
"Squeak-" The door opened.
Su Mo's mind was filled with all kinds of noisy thoughts, and he was originally absent-minded, but he was suddenly frightened by something outside the door: "I'll go!" What is it?! ”
I saw a "cat lady" poking in from outside the door, her ears shaking regularly, and her half-beast, half-human face was very cute, and she was playfully sticking out her tongue.
The other party jumped in, this is a person wearing a full Furry costume, with a full body of hair, dancing a cheerful house dance in front of Su Mo, as if he had just come out of the anime world.
Su Mo was a little confused.
Thinking about it, there is only one person who can do this kind of work.
He tentatively asked, "Zero?" ”
The other party took off the Furry hood, and the long silver hair poured in the air, and the amber eyes were full of smiles.
Qi Ling smiled and said, "How is this dress, cute, right?" ”
Su Mo looked puzzled: "Cute is cute, but what are you doing?" ”
Qi Ling: "I'm making you happy~"
Su Mo couldn't cry or laugh: "Thank you for taking great pains, happy or not, I was indeed amused." ”
Qi Ling took off his doll clothes, came over and sat on Su Mo's lap, and spread his arms coquettishly: "Hug~"
Su Mo said helplessly: "I'm thinking about things, my brain is very messy now, I'll hug it after a while, okay?" ”
Qi Ling couldn't help but grab Su Mo's head and hug him tightly.
Caught off guard, Su Mo's face was directly attached to Qi Ling's heart, and the marshmallow-like touch made him freeze for a moment.
"Zero?."
"Shhh ”
Under Qi Ling's guidance, Su Mo unconsciously closed her eyes and gently pressed against the warm heart, listening to her heartbeat.
"Knock, knock, knock" The girl's heartbeat was soft and even, beating gently in Su Mo's ears, like a clear trickle, cleansing away all the noise.
Feeling Qi Ling's body temperature, only the sound of heartbeat in his ears, an unprecedented sense of comfort surrounded Su Mo, he forgot to think, immersed in this gentle embrace, heart and heart seemed to be blended together, and only the two of them were left in the whole world.
Qi Ling stroked Su Mo's hair, as if soothing a child, and whispered softly in his ear: "Do you feel that your troubles are gone for the time being?" ”
Su Mo closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
Qi Ling pressed his cheek against his head and muttered about the past: "When I was a child, every time I came out of the black prison, I had nightmares and couldn't sleep at night, and Xiao Qi also held me like this and let me listen to her heartbeat. ”
"She's trying to tell me — don't be afraid, you're not alone. And now, I want to tell you that too. ”
"You're not alone, silently. I have seen all your hard work and dedication in the past few days. ”
"You may feel that as the head of the regiment, you have to take responsibility for everyone. But don't forget at all times that everyone is behind you and I'm behind you. ”
Su Mo smiled slightly, wrapped his arms around Qi Ling's waist, and pressed his face tighter, greedy for the warm body temperature and soft heartbeat.
I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly asked softly, "Zero, have you ever been to the Borderlands?" (End of chapter)
