Chapter 104: Wandering in Time and Space
Tang Jingmo caught a flash of water in her eyes, like a meteor suddenly streaking across the night sky.
My heart suddenly ached - this was the third time.
Every time I get close to her, it feels like there's a blunt knife in my chest slowly scraping my bones. It hurts and itches, but I can't remember why.
He subconsciously pressed his chest, and the military uniform fabric under his fingertips was soaked with cold sweat.
The door of the training room was suddenly kicked open.
"Base commander! The radar on the east side detected an unidentified flying object--" The adjutant's voice stopped abruptly like a broadcast that was cut off.
On the mat, Tang Jingmo pressed Xiaobai firmly under her body. The collar of her combat uniform was torn open, revealing the small SO1 tattoo on her collarbone.
They both turned to look at the door at the same time, and the three breathing sounds were particularly clear in the silence.
"Turn around." Tang Jingmo's voice was terribly hoarse, "Close the door."
"Sorry, I'm sorry!" The adjutant's face turned red instantly and he almost tripped over himself when closing the door.
"I'm... sorry!" The adjutant turned around and closed the door. His movements were very quick, but he stuttered.
Xiaobai took the opportunity to hook Tang Jingmo's belt buckle: "Shy, I still have a big move to use!"
Tang Jingmo stared at her red lips so close to him, and was fascinated. Some strange throbbing exploded in his blood, burning his fingertips and making them numb.
"Don't move." He suddenly pulled off his tie and tied her wrists in two or three moves.
The dark blue silk sank into her snow-white skin, leaving ambiguous red marks on her wrist bones.
This method of tying her was very special - it wouldn't hurt her, but a normal person would definitely not be able to break free.
Unfortunately, he forgot that she was never a "normal person".
Xiaobai looked at his almost fleeing back and burst out laughing.
With a deft flip of his hands, the tie slid off like a snake - I had seen this trick before in my previous life and had already cracked it.
"Going after my fiancé again..." She stroked the remaining body temperature on the tie, "It's quite a novel experience."
A shrill alarm suddenly tore through the night sky.
When Xiaobai turned over and jumped up, the sea outside the window was already scarlet.
Three shuttle-shaped spaceships were suspended above the base, with their cabins flowing with a liquid metal-like luster, which was obviously not Earth technology.
The light curtains they projected enveloped the entire base, and the air was filled with the burnt smell of ionized ozone.
"There was no such thing as spaceships besieging the base in the previous life, so is this an action aimed at them?" Her pupils suddenly shrank.
The soldiers on the city wall were shooting wildly, but the bullets vaporized the moment they touched the light curtain.
Tang Jingmo's roar came through the broadcasting system: "Everyone evacuate to the underground bunker! This is not a conventional enemy attack--"
A blinding white light suddenly hit the communications tower.
Amid the roar of the explosion, Xiaobai clearly saw a huge mechanical eye open at the bottom of the spacecraft, with a familiar blue light flashing in the iris.
"It's not targeting the base..." She leaped towards the wall, "It looks like the opportunity to leave is coming."
Tang Jingmo was directing the people to evacuate when he was suddenly dragged into a blind spot in the bunker.
Xiao Bai came towards him with the smell of gunpowder: "Listen! These spaceships are targeting us. If you don't want anything to happen to the base, follow me."
"You really know something!" He pressed her against the concrete wall with his backhand, and the blood from the wound stained her collar red.
"Why do you know this? Did you collude with each other?"
The mechanical eye suddenly turned to their location.
Xiaobai suddenly hugged Tang Jingmo and rolled into the trench. The place where they were originally standing was melted by white light to form a black hole with a diameter of two meters.
"Because..." She shouted in his ear amid the deafening explosion, but before she could finish her words, the artillery fire started again.
Xiaobai spun around to avoid a particle beam, and used her military boots to step on the wreckage of the city wall to gain leverage and leap up. Her supernatural power condensed into a deep blue blade in her palm.
She slashed at the nearest spaceship in mid-air, and dazzling sparks burst out as the blade cut into the metal shell -
"Tang Jingmo! Its core is under the third armor plate on the left wing!"
How did she know the structure of the spacecraft?
Tang Jingmo didn't have time to think. He raised his sniper rifle, and the bullet penetrated the crack she created and accurately hit the dark blue energy core.
The spacecraft began to spasm like a beast with its throat strangled, and the roar of mechanical disintegration could be heard from within.
"There are two left!" Xiaobai landed beside him, his back pressed against his spine.
There was a gap between their memories of two lifetimes, but at this moment they were in perfect harmony, as if every inch of their muscles remembered how to cooperate with each other.
The mechanical eye of the last ship suddenly cracked open, revealing a swirling black vortex within.
[Abnormal target locked]
[Execute Time and Space Exile]
"They want to teleport us by force!" Xiaobai grabbed Tang Jingmo's hand.
Time and space began to collapse.
Bricks of the city wall floated up like building blocks, and the flames of the explosion solidified into a strange amber color.
Tang Jingmo held her waist tightly in a daze, and saw her body disintegrating——
"Remember!" Xiaobai shouted the last words in the distorted space and time, "Don't get separated. If we get separated, we won't be able to go back!"
The white light engulfed everything.
When he opened his eyes again, he remembered everything.
Tang Jingmo suddenly sat up from the hospital bed, cold sweat soaking his back.
Memories came flooding back like a tide - the reunion at Longshen Mountain, the sea breeze at Dong'ao Island, the archives room at the 976th Bureau, her blood-stained smile on the Gobi Desert...
And then there was that final all-consuming white light.
noob!
He pulled out the infusion needle on the back of his hand, and blood splattered on the snow-white sheets.
He left the medical staff's screams behind him, and the lights in the corridor cast blurry shadows in his sight.
——Where is she in this life?
Tang Jingmo stood on the observation tower of the military base, his knuckles white from clenching his fists.
In the center of the training ground, that familiar figure was carrying out an execution mission.
Xiaobai was wearing a pure white combat uniform with the dark blue experimental subject number embroidered on the cuffs and collar: S-01.
Her movements were clean and neat, without a trace of unnecessary strength, like a sophisticated killing machine.
A soldier who was convicted of "rebellion" knelt in front of her, trembling and begging for mercy.
She raised her hand expressionlessly.
Click.
The sound of the broken cervical vertebrae was sharp and piercing.
Tang Jingmo's breathing stagnated for a moment.
He knew clearly that the space at this moment was fictional, perhaps another parallel time and space.
And she seemed to have no memory of anything that happened before.
"noob!"
He stopped her in the hallway, his voice as deep as a cello.
She stopped, there was not a single wrinkle on her pure white combat uniform, and even her breathing was eerily steady.
The eyes that were once filled with smiles were now like two pieces of cold obsidian, staring at him coldly.
Tang Jingmo opened his palm, and a piece of candy that was about to melt lay there, with the candy wrapper glowing a soft color under the light.
"Do you want some candy?"
Her eyes rested on the candy for 0.3 seconds—a habitual pause as she assessed a threat.
"unnecessary."
She walked around him, and the heels of her boots hit the ground like a hammer hitting his heart.
