Chapter 51
"As the old saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger," Zong Qinyuan asked at the meeting, "So, in your opinion, what is the most critical scientific achievement of our Mo Da?"
In the silence, someone tentatively asked, "Is it aircraft technology?"
Someone immediately raised an objection: "Not only that, our rocket booster fuel research and development is also one of the best in the world."
Zong Qinyuan nodded: "Everyone is right, but I personally think that the Demon God is most interested in our achievements in the field of aerospace. He has stayed on this continent for three thousand years. Isn't his only wish to return to his home planet?"
"So if we use this to tempt him..."
Gu Liangyou twirled his pen and listened attentively to the school leaders discussing the steps of the bait plan.
He remembered that someone had suggested luring the demon into the school, but this suggestion was quickly rejected because the center of the base was located in front of the library. Although there were layers of checkpoints, in order to eliminate safety hazards, Principal Zong still firmly opposed any outsiders approaching it within ten meters.
Now that they have Morton City as their base, the best strategy is naturally to solve all problems in the city.
"You, are you sure that the impostor is the Demon God?" Gu Liangyi asked with some concern, "Or, will the Demon God really come in person?"
"certainly."
Gu Liangyou was quite confident about this. He asked, "Can't you feel your body's strength growing stronger day by day? In this world, apart from the demon gods, there is no race with higher magic power than us. In other words, the mummy has no time left, unless he wants to die of exhaustion."
Gu Liangyi tried hard to feel it, but the surging power that You Neng could easily control was like a thin layer of transparent plastic film between him and it. It was clearly within reach, but he could not really touch it.
“It still doesn’t work,” he said frustratedly. “Maybe I just don’t have the talent for this.”
Gu Liangyou snorted, "What are you talking about? You are me. At worst, I will protect you in the future. I have always done this anyway."
"You, you're so nice." Gu Liang said with tears in his eyes.
After saying that, they both fell silent.
The next second, both personalities inside and outside the consciousness got goose bumps at the same time.
"Next time, please say less such cheesy things," Gu Liangyou said with disgust, "Neither of us should have a narcissistic hobby."
"……agree."
This is the result of knowing someone too well. Gu Liangyou will take protecting the main personality as his natural responsibility, but once the main personality is moved by it, it feels too strange.
——It’s as strange as seeing someone walking on the street and suddenly saying to the mirror, “You look great today.”
"Student Gu Liang."
Hearing his name, Gu Liangyou raised his head: "What?"
"Because we don't know the magic power of the demon god, we need you to help us test the strength of the defensive weapons in the city." Zong Qinyuan said to him, "Just think of it as a practical exercise in advance."
That's totally fine. Gu Liangyou nodded indifferently: "When does it start?"
"This afternoon."
The efficiency of the execution of the plan was astonishingly fast. Shortly after the meeting ended, a line of desert tanks and surface-to-air missile launchers drove into the main road of Morton City.
Looking at these camouflaged, cold and murderous heavy firepower weapons, residents near the main roads did not even dare to leave their homes. They could only hide behind windows and door cracks and look out cautiously, thinking that something had happened in the city.
Although they still didn't know the principles of these weapons, after a few days, the natives had already understood the appearance of these terrifying machines from the devil. They also knew that when the black-robed wizards took out the black machines from their waists, they must behave docilely and obediently.
Otherwise, those rioters who rolled and wailed in the streets with their arms and legs hugged would most likely be their final fate.
"This is the car a man should drive!"
Yan Beichen sat in the driver's seat of the tank, looking very proud and high-spirited.
But Jin Xuan in the communicator was more excited than him. While counting the number of weapons that had arrived, she looked up at the tower in front of her with great pride, remembering that not long ago, a group of them had protected Gu Liang and evacuated from the city urgently. It can only be said that this was a different time, and she felt so happy that she almost flew away:
"Captain Yi, I... hey, where are the people?"
"The captain went to get a sniper," Yaroslav said honestly, "He said there will be a mission next."
Jin Xuan was stunned. Apart from the simulated performance against the demon god, what other tasks were there?
"Wait a minute, Captain Yi is not going to use that big sniper to aim at the little mascot, right?" She suddenly remembered something and immediately showed a look of horror, "This can't be done! If something goes wrong, all of humanity will be doomed. Isn't Captain Yi murdering his own husband?"
"...Uh, that shouldn't be the case, right?" Yaroslav didn't react to what Jin Xuan was talking about for a while. After all, no matter how good his Chinese was, it was still far from the comprehension level of a native speaker. "The headquarters will definitely take these into consideration. It's not our turn to worry."
"Too."
Jin Xuan gradually calmed down, but she was still curious about what Yi Yan was using the sniper for. After thinking about it, she simply said to Yaroslav, "One person is enough here. You help me watch over it. I'll go to the training ground to take a look."
Yaroslav, who had the same plan, said: "…………"
Come back, don't be distracted!
However, Jin Xuan's figure had disappeared around the corner. The location of the exercise ground was the site of the previous thermobaric bomb explosion. It had now collapsed into a huge pit with a diameter of nearly 100 meters. In a more distant open space, there stood a group of technicians from the second team holding binoculars and notebooks to record data.
"Deputy Captain Jin, why are you here?"
Gong Ming was the first to notice Jin Xuan's arrival. Seeing the man waving at her with a smile, Jin Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards him.
"When does the exercise start?" she asked.
"About fifteen minutes later," Gong Ming looked at his watch seriously, "What does Vice Captain Jin want to do here?"
"Just call me Jin Xuan, Teacher Gong." Jin Xuan said, "Do you know where Captain Yi is?"
Gong Ming pointed to a small building in the distance: "Over there."
"No way?" Jin Xuan's eyes widened. "Does he really want to shoot Gu Liang? Even if the headquarters agrees, will Captain Yi himself agree?"
"What are you thinking about?" Gong Ming looked at her with a smile on his face. "Don't let your imagination run wild, Jin. The command center won't agree to something this dangerous. And you must have misunderstood something. We want Gu Liang to help us test the weapon data, not to have him do it himself."
"……Um?"
Jin Xuan looked at him in confusion.
But before Gong Ming could explain, a strong wind blew up from the ground. Amidst the flying sand and rocks, a familiar huge bone dragon descended from the sky. It seemed that it had not been summoned by its master for a long time. It excitedly howled towards the sky, like a dog that finally got the right to go out after waiting for its master for a whole day. Even though it was only a pile of bones left, its happiness could be clearly felt from the burning netherworld flames swaying in its eye sockets.
The strong wind subsided, and Jin Xuan slowly lowered her hands that were covering her eyes. She saw a thin young man in a black robe standing alone on the edge of the huge pit, extending his hand towards the bone dragon.
The horrible monster bowed its head towards him obediently. Gu Liangyou stroked the white bones near its eye sockets with his five fingers, as if communicating something with it. During this time, the dragon's tail swung somewhat unhappily, directly smashing a small building that was already in danger of being exploded into a pile of rubble and bricks.
Jin Xuan heard many people around her exclaim "Oh shit!" and then they lowered their heads and began to desperately record data.
Being able to do this is enough to prove that the dragon's bones are as strong as some metals on Earth!
"So, you want to use this skull dragon to test your weapons?" Jin Xuan turned and asked Gong Ming.
Gong Ming nodded. "There were too many interference factors in the last actual combat. Gu Liang also said that the bone dragon summoned by the demon god was not in its complete form because the demon god himself was still in a weak state. So this time we want to test how much explosives a complete bone dragon can withstand."
They had never considered the possibility that the bone dragon could survive the attack intact.
With the current level of technological development of mankind, no carbon-based creature - including magical creatures - can survive the attack of a hydrogen bomb. If it is hit directly, it is even impossible to preserve an intact body.
But if it's just an exercise, relying on some ordinary weapons and the degree of damage to the bone dragon's body, we can roughly calculate the level of weapons needed to completely destroy these undead beasts.
"It agreed," Gu Liangyou walked over and said to them, "By the way, remember not to shoot at its head. This dragon has a bad temper." It's a little hard to coax.
Jin Xuan was shocked: "It's dead and still has a temper?"
"Ghosts are the most resentful." Gu Liangyou said as a matter of course.
Everyone fell into silence: "…………"
It feels quite reasonable.
"Where is Yi Yan?"
The black-haired young man looked around and didn't see any familiar figures, so he couldn't help but ask the same question as Jin Xuan just asked.
Jin Xuan imitated Gong Ming's posture and pointed towards the roof.
"By the way, do you have anyone with you now?" she asked, "Are you going to look for Captain Yi? I'll go with you."
"Need not."
Jin Xuan frowned: "But..."
"Cough." Gong Ming, who was standing half a step behind her, suddenly coughed and pulled her sleeve calmly.
Jin Xuan suddenly closed her mouth and immediately changed her expression. She smiled brightly and said to Gu Liangyou, who looked puzzled, "It's okay, it's okay. I didn't say anything just now."
Gu Liangyou thought that these people in the special task force were becoming more and more inexplicable, so he didn't say anything and turned around and left on his own.
He was going to go and see the scene of Yi Yan's sniper attack.
Both he and the main personality have the same attitude towards people who can use heavy sniper rifles - they are so cool.
But when that person is Yi Yan, Gu Liangyou must add a premise:
Although he didn't like this person very much, this behavior alone was still very handsome.
Gu Liangyi couldn't help but laugh: "You are really not frank, Brother Yi is really handsome."
Gu Liangyou was walking upstairs when the image of Yi Yan turning over on the bed and his T-shirt being blown up by the wind, revealing his tight abdominal muscles, suddenly flashed through his mind. He immediately said angrily, "What have you been watching every day when I'm not around? Don't look at anything inappropriate, understand?"
Gu Liangyi felt very wronged: "But we are both boys and we are in the same dormitory. I think there should be a condition of not looking at what is inappropriate."
"What's wrong with boys? You know how he treats us... cough."
When Gu Liangyou said this, he couldn't help but think of the embarrassing experience of holding Yi Yan's collar in the dormitory, and was immediately caught by the main personality: "Look, you are obviously thinking about it too!"
"Shut up, we share the same consciousness and brain, you can't run away!"
The two personalities went upstairs while arguing. The wind was strong on the rooftop. Yi Yan and another observer were staying on the rooftop. They did not close the door. The observer was surprised when he saw Gu Liangyou, but the young man in black robe just lifted his hood and gently gestured to him to keep quiet.
The observer withdrew his gaze with understanding and continued to help Yi Yan measure the wind speed.
This mission actually didn't require an observer, because the target was big enough and there was no hard requirement to kill it with one shot, so he looked relatively relaxed and was even able to spare a bit of energy to observe the conditions of Gu Liangyou and Yi Yan.
The young man in black robe did not make much noise after arriving at the rooftop. He just leaned against the wall with his arms folded and looked at them quietly, as if he was really just there to observe.
Yi Yan, a sniper, was lying on the rooftop with his heavy sniper rifle ready. Because he was wearing noise-canceling earplugs, he did not notice anyone coming from behind. He just picked up a piece of ice from the bucket next to him and put it in his mouth to prevent his breath from affecting his vision in the cold weather.
From Gu Liangyou's perspective, he could only see the undulating lines of Yi Yan's thin back as he lay on the ground, and his thick, jet-black curly hair, which was as messy as seaweed and blown into a mess by the wind.
"So handsome." Gu Liangyi exclaimed.
This time Gu Liangyou did not refute.
Because no matter whether it is a man or a woman, anyone who has a little passion for the military, when seeing Yi Yan concentrating so hard on aiming at the target, they would sincerely think that he looks so handsome, without even looking at his face.
Every sniper has a terrifying aura. Even if they blend into the crowd, they will clearly feel the oppression of being a top predator when looking directly into those eyes.
Gu Liangyou bit his cheek and felt a surge of excitement from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't know if he was influenced by the belief in the devil, but now he actually felt a little regretful. He regretted that he didn't plant the mark on Yi Yan's neck with his own hands.
Gu Liangyi: "...You, are you a pervert?"
"How could that be? I was just thinking about it," Gu Liangyou said, "Don't say you don't have this idea. I remember it very clearly. When Yi Yan came back from his mission in Morton City..."
“Enough is enough!”
Gu Liangyi blushed and interrupted his thoughts: "But I am different from you. I am just thinking about it. You really have the ability to do it! Don't really go down the path of breaking the law and committing crimes. Brother Yi finally got rid of the influence of the death row slave brand."
After plundering a large amount of faith from the demon god, Gu Liangyou removed the mark on Yi Yan's neck just in case. Although Yi Yan didn't say anything at the time, he just lowered his head and touched his smooth neck, but for some reason, Gu Liangyi always felt that there was a little regret in his eyes.
"I know. I don't have the hobby of tormenting others."
Gu Liangyou said nonchalantly.
He stood up and walked to the observer, glanced at the dashboard and data in his hand, and gestured for him to come.
The observer was also relieved, and the relationship between Yi Yan and Gu Liang was basically known to everyone in the special operations team, and he had no interest in being a light bulb in the middle - in fact, they even opened a bet specifically for this, betting on when these two would make it clear that they were together.
But none of them knew that the two of them had already made it clear in the dormitory, but there had been no further progress.
Actually, Gu Liangyou just wanted to scare Yi Yan on a whim. He lowered his voice, and continued to help Yi Yan calculate the data while paying attention to the consumption of bullets. When the last bullet was used up, the black-haired young man who had been waiting impatiently curled his lips, half-knelt down, and suddenly lowered his head to appear in the sight of the sniper rifle.
“Yo.”
He greeted, with a hint of provocative smile in his eyes.
Yi Yan hadn't realized that he had run out of bullets, because generally speaking, snipers would hit the target with one shot and then escape. Today's exercise was a special case, and he needed to use up all his bullets.
Looking at the familiar face of the young man in the sight, it is no exaggeration to say that his heart skipped a beat, his index finger on the trigger stiffened instantly, and his lips, which were frozen pale by the ice, were tightly pursed into a line.
"What? Are you scared by me?" Gu Liangyou stood up, still feeling proud of his own genius prank, but unexpectedly, Yi Yan suddenly jumped up from the ground and grabbed him by the collar and pushed him against the wall in the next second.
"Is this something you can joke about?!" he roared at the young man.
Gu Liangyou seemed not to notice Yi Yan's anger and fear. He just stared at his bloodless cold lips curiously and asked, "Isn't your tongue cold from holding the ice cube in your mouth?"
Yi Yan: “…………”
No matter how angry I was, I couldn't get angry at this person who was completely out of control.
His Adam's apple rolled, he slowly let go of his hand, turned around and put away his gun without saying a word.
"Angry?"
“…………”
"Hey, at least give me some face and say something."
Yi Yan remained silent, but when Gu Liangyou began to get impatient, he said to him, "Don't do this again next time."
He turned to look at the stunned Gu Liangyou, and gazed deeply into the eyes of the black-haired young man:
"I don't want to see you in the crosshairs, ever."
After saying that, he carried the sniper rifle on his back, walked past Gu Liangyou and went downstairs.
