I slept for a long time before waking up. When I woke up, I saw Li repairing my protective suit and Liv was using a floater to shoot lasers to help.
I didn't know where Lucia had gone. I put on my clothes and walked out of the tent. I took some water from the faucet and washed up quickly.
I walked to the open space next to the tent and saw Lucia practicing with a sword using dead trees in the distance.
Lucia's whole body was in a half-squatting position, with her left leg wrapped behind her. She held the sword in her right hand and pulled it out from her left abdomen in an instant, then her body rushed forward. The yellow-brown soil splashed everywhere with Lucia's movements, and she cut the dead tree into two pieces with one stroke.
It feels a bit like when I saved Nice yesterday and cut the infected body in half. At that time, I really couldn’t imagine that a human being like me could do such a thing. Is it because of the protective suit?
I don't know what Lucia has been through? What does she hope for? I really want to get to her heart, but I've heard that after the construct surgery, a lot of memories will be lost, so I don't know how to touch her heart.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from a distance, and dozens of artillery vehicles more than ten meters long drove towards our camp from a distance.
I looked at the huge gun barrel, and to be honest, I was very curious about Miss Vera's combat operations, so I decided to go and talk to Miss Vera.
I walked to the front of the tent and saw the Construct Glo following Miss Vera.
Glo noticed me and asked, "Do you want to talk to Vera?"
I explained, "I'm just curious about the future battle plan and want to learn more."
Glo was delighted and shouted, "Miss Vera, someone actually wants to talk to you."
Vera came out of the tent when she heard the voice: "Huh? Are you Lucia's commander? I'm very free, just come and tell me if you have anything to say." Vera said with a smirk.
I entered the tent and sat on the ground. Miss Vera sat in front of me and said, "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
I thought of the gun carriages and asked, “What were those gun carriages used for?”
Vera explained, "They were brought from the Plains of East, weapons left over from the local national revolution. Ninety of them. Those people in the Sky Garden were very picky. These are not only simple and crude, but also very much to my taste."
I asked, a little confused, "You helped the Hanging Gardens capture the East Plains. Why don't you return to the Hanging Gardens? You could take a vacation and stay away from the war."
Vera lowered her head and said calmly, "I really want to confirm one thing."
I was a little confused: "What?"
Vera looked up and said to me, "You should have heard that I survived being surrounded by thousands of infected bodies!"
Me: “Is there really a problem?”
Vera said a little excitedly, "I saw a construct. It wasn't infected. He opened his mouth and said something to me. My body was being torn apart by the infected. He stepped on my face with his foot, so I couldn't see his face clearly. He lowered his voice and said, 'How pitiful! Your teammates have abandoned you, why are you still struggling here? Oh, you seem speechless now. Why don't you let me, Uncle Roland, be a kind person and let you go today! You are such an interesting person. It would be a pity to die. I hope you can continue to fight in the future. When I woke up, I found that all the infected around me had disappeared."
Hearing this, I was a little confused. What was going on with the constructs inside the infected body? I quickly asked, "How many people around here know about this?"
Vera pointed at me and said, "Me, you and Glo are the only ones left. Telling this to the Sky Garden might cause other trouble. I also feel that he must be near the core of the Crimson Tide."
I speculated, "Could it be that the last mission failed? It has something to do with him."
Vera shook her head: "Not sure, as long as I can get into the core of the red tide."
Glo interrupted our conversation: "Miss Vera, all the artillery vehicles are in place."
Vera asked, "Your name is Huaqi, right? I hope you can stay away from Lucia and the others. They are all very pitiful children." After listening, I walked out of the tent, thinking thoughtfully about what Miss Vera had just said. Who is our enemy?
Liv came to me in a panic: "Commander, you are here. It's time for lunch. You didn't have breakfast. Although the barracks don't provide meals, you can cook your own food. Lucia is busy. She was very happy to hear that she was cooking for the commander."
I am a little looking forward to the dishes Lucia cooks.
Before I reached the tent, I saw thick smoke billowing into the sky, and I instantly had a bad feeling.
Lucia was wearing a smoked apron, her face blackened by the smoke. Seeing me coming, she quickly brought a pot of something to me. What was this? As far as I knew, it couldn't even be called food.
It felt like the food I had eaten at Kowloon Dog before was more normal than this: "Lucia, what is this?"
Lucia said happily, "It's stew!"
I covered my face and asked with difficulty: "How did you do it?"
Lucia raised her hands and gestured: "Just grab a handful of vegetables, put them in water, and then add those nice-smelling seasonings."
I looked at Li and asked, "Li, what do you think of this dish?"
Li turned his head away and whispered, "I'm not sure, but the food I ate when I was alive was definitely better than this."
I looked at Lucia's expectant expression, but I didn't want to collapse before going to the battlefield.
Liv leaned over to my ear and said, "Commander, just take a small bite. Don't make Lucia too sad."
I nodded and scooped a little with a spoon. The leaves on it had turned black. I felt a chill in my heart, but I still ate it in one gulp. A wonderful taste rushed straight to my head. I lost consciousness instantly and fell down. I vaguely saw Old Hua, the little girl who died in yesterday's mission, and heard Liv calling Miss Vera.
