Chapter 114 Chapter 114 This is not how you kiss...
Jiang Ling and Qin Yang are still alive.
But the condition is not really good.
Deep within the ecological core of Contaminated Zone 0, the silhouettes of collapsed, abandoned buildings are immersed in a thick, polluted dust fog. Nest-shaped hills covered in fungal mats are everywhere, nesting among the ruins in various sizes and heights. They stir and flicker with a faint blue light like living things.
Jiang Ling and Qin Yang's mechas were back to back, stuck in the middle of a relatively open intersection. The bodies of the mechas were covered with messy scratches and traces of rust on the anti-corrosion paint. Even the roar of the engines had become low, appearing to be struggling.
"Energy reserves are below 20%, and the shield generator is overloaded... We can't hold on any longer."
Qin Yang's voice, accompanied by labored gasps, came through the communication channel, intermittently: "The left thruster is severely damaged... maneuverability has decreased significantly, and the cabin's airtightness... has been compromised by 79%."
"I still have 27% energy left, the body is 75% damaged, and the airtightness is 67% damaged, but the gun system is overloaded and paralyzed. Only the sword is still usable."
Jiang Ling looked through the porthole at the desolate beasts that kept pouring out from the shadows of the wreckage of buildings and the lair. He waved his arms to shake off the broken limbs and blood on his long sword. The long period of mental overload also caused the glands on the back of his neck to begin to tingle, and gradually spread to the entire brain nerves.
He shook his aching head and chopped down another insect that was about to attack him. "...Can you still fight?"
They've been here for too long.
The main force has withdrawn safely, but now only the two of them are left behind to cover the retreat.
Before Qin Yang could answer, a loud "boom" sounded from his side.
The black mecha was hit on the shield by the sickle claws of a giant wild beast, and staggered back a few steps. Then the shield on the mecha's arm flashed in a burst of electric sparks and went out with a "bang".
Amidst the crackling sound of electricity, Qin Yang's voice rang out again: "The shield is broken—Continue!"
Then he activated the energy cannon, which had little energy left, and blasted the giant beast that was about to pounce towards Jiang Ling. The next second, a flash of sword light appeared, and Jiang Ling immediately stepped towards the giant beast's head, and slashed it hard amid the roar of the thrusters.
“Puff——”
Beheaded with one sword.
This kind of cooperation has happened countless times during their siege.
But now they really can't hold on any longer.
The monsters gathered around them almost endlessly, and they kept killing and killing. The noise they made alarmed more wild beasts around them, but they could not stop and could only keep trying to find opportunities to break through.
"Jiang Ling!"
"receive."
"boom--"
"This way—"
"Here I come."
“Puff——”
Their fighting style, which came from the same source, made their coordination extremely smooth, but their energy was constantly being consumed, and the degree of damage to their bodies was also increasing.
[Warning! The environmental pollution index has exceeded the safe value. There is a risk of intrusion into the cockpit. Please disengage as soon as possible!]
[Warning! Energy is less than 10%, the fuselage is 87% damaged, and the cockpit airtightness is 91% reduced...]
【warn! 】
A steady stream of scarlet pop-up windows popped up from the console.
Qin Yang looked at the rapidly damaged and red-colored body on the screen and the gradually rising pollution index. His pale face, already pale from mental overload, became even more tense.
Once the airtightness reaches zero and polluted dust invades the cockpit, he will be corroded in a very short time, and only death awaits him.
Not far away, the red mecha belonging to Jiang Ling was still fighting, moving nimbly among the surging beasts like an eagle.
Amidst the heavy breathing and gradually blurred vision, the fiery red mecha gradually changed its appearance, and the surrounding hideous and twisted contaminated area suddenly turned into a military academy training ground.
A long time ago, the same red mecha used the same combat style as the mecha in front of him to shoot him down again and again, but its movements were much lighter, more flexible and more at ease than Jiang Ling's.
Later, he was pulled down from the sky. When the cabin door opened, the figure stretched out a hand towards him against the bright skylight behind him. The sharpness in the gray eyes almost burned him.
Then the man pulled him up and he leaned on his shoulder.
A contact that was not even a hug was the closest he had ever been to him in his life.
But the red mecha in front of him was clearly not Chen Luan.
But his fighting style is full of Chen Luan's shadow.
That’s right, how could the people that Chen Luan personally brought up from scratch be any different when fighting?
Are they together?
Qin Yang swung his sword again to cut off the desolate insect beast that was rushing towards him.
They wore matching earrings.
A wild beast that was about to pounce on the red mecha was blasted away by him.
If he died here,
Will he be very sad?
“Puff——”
A wild beast that nearly pounced on his face was split apart by the sword light. The other party's tired and gritted voice came from the headset: "What the hell are you thinking? Don't be stunned."
"Jiang Ling."
A hoarse voice echoed in the communication band.
Jiang Ling drew his knife and kicked the dead desolate beast in front of him: "If you have to fart, fart quickly."
The next second, the black mecha behind him suddenly leaped up.
Amid the roar of engines pushed to maximum power, a hail of bullets blasted out recklessly, pouring down like a torrential rain towards the southeast corner, which was currently the weakest point.
“BOOM BOOM BOOM—!”
The dense explosions cleared a small vacuum in the area.
"Qin Yang? Are you fucking going to die?! How are you going to get out when the energy is used up???"
Jiang Ling was about to turn around when he felt the plane sink.
The next second, he felt his entire body being pushed away.
Jiang Ling looked back in horror, only to see that the black mecha remained in place and was gradually being swallowed by the waves. The light from the muzzle of the energy cannon gradually went out as the energy was exhausted.
"Walk."
Qin Yang's calm voice came from the headset: "If you die, he will be sad."
“…”
The light golden pupils suddenly contracted and were almost blank for a moment.
Yes, he can't die.
Chen Luan is still waiting for him to come home.
There are still people waiting for him to come home.
In mid-air, the red mecha that was thrown towards the brief gap subconsciously activated its thrusters.
On the ground, the remaining black mecha once again drove the remaining energy to swing the blade, trying to delay a little more time.
only--
"Fuck, what the fuck are you talking about."
Suddenly, a curse with an electric sound was heard in the communication band.
The red mecha that had already leaped into the air made a beautiful turn and hovered in the air, then chopped down the winged wild beast that was flying towards it with one sword.
A long hook was thrown out and fastened on the body of the black mecha with a "ding" sound.
"Do you think he won't be sad if you die?"
Amidst the sudden roar of the engine, the red mecha steadied its foot on the flames emanating from the thrusters and pulled hard—
The moment the grappling hook was retracted, the black mecha was also pulled into the air.
"Want to be Bai Yueguang?"
"Ha, I tell you, no way."
No one should think of being the white moonlight.
Jiang Xun can’t do it, and Qin Yang can’t do it even more!
Dream on!
"boom--"
The two mechas landed together.
At this point, there was only a short distance left to break out of the encirclement.
"What are you standing there for? Fight!"
“…There’s no energy left.”
"...Fuck. I still have some left. I'll give you some first! Don't die."
The other side at the same moment.
Chen Luan's mecha was stopped and he couldn't even get out of the base gate.
They couldn't bear to see Chen Luan, who was obviously emotionally dissociated, go in alone and die.
Chen Luan, whose mecha key was taken away, sat at the gate of the base with a pale face and empty eyes.
The newly pierced earlobe would occasionally sting slightly, but Chen Luan would simply numbly touch the burning red spot on his left ear. His voice, hoarse like a broken bellows, was blown to the ground by the wind:
"Jiang Ling won't come back, right?"
Jiang Xun tightened his grip on Chen Luan's fingers, causing his knuckles to turn pale.
The alpha's throat rolled with some difficulty, and his bloodshot eyes met the blankness on Chen Luan's face.
“…”
It felt like there was a sharp stone blocking my throat.
He was speechless.
He couldn't utter a word.
But it was already dusk on the seventh day.
There is no chance.
In the silent air that was almost frozen, Chen Luan looked up into Jiang Xun's eyes and repeated it again.
"He's not coming back, is he?"
There was clearly no other expression on his face, but the moment he finished speaking, a few tears rolled down from the corner of his eye.
It fell to the ground with a "bang".
It's getting dark.
It seemed to be raining again, dripping down and mixing with the soil.
There was a shadow overhead.
"Go back, it's raining."
It was Huo Lin holding an umbrella.
Chen Luan didn't move.
Jiang Xun didn't move either.
"The operating manual says that the maximum time for an S-class mecha is about 7 days."
"It's not dark yet. Is there a possibility? There's still a chance."
"I want to wait a little longer."
"I'll wait a little longer."
There is a warm temperature approaching.
"good."
Huo Lin sat on the other side of Chen Luan and raised the umbrella a little higher to cover all three of them: "I'll wait with you."
Time seemed to stretch out and the sound of rain gradually grew louder.
The sky gradually darkened and the lights in the command base came on.
The raindrops hit the umbrella with a crackling sound, slowly soaking the trouser legs of the three people, and their hearts gradually grew cold.
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind me.
"Captain Chen!"
"Captain Chen—"
The newcomer panted and supported his knees: "Radar, radar——"
"The signals of two mechas have reappeared in the outer area!"
A sharp sound ripped through my ears.
The umbrella above his head was blown over.
Chen Luan stood up suddenly, his voice trembling: "What did you say?"
Medical staff gathered again at the base entrance which suddenly lit up, and a team had already gone to the periphery to provide support.
After an anxious wait, Chen Luan finally saw the light of fire flickering out of the darkness in the distance, getting closer and closer.
Two mechas that had run out of energy and were in tatters were dragged back.
When a familiar figure came out of the cabin, Chen Luan heard the sound of his heart beating wildly in his chest.
In the increasingly dense rain, he ran towards his heartbeat.
Jiang Ling.
Jiang Ling!
"Jiang Ling——"
With a hoarse cry that was almost broken, Chen Luan walked through the crowd and the rain, and tightly embraced the part of his soul that he had almost lost in his arms.
Hot tears began to burst out.
In the familiar breath and embrace, a pair of arms wrapped around Chen Luan's waist and squeezed him into his arms.
The moment their eyes met, the pair of brilliant golden eyes that were so close suddenly curved upwards, and a hint of smile appeared in the tired and hoarse voice:
"Admit it, Chen Luan, you know you love me."
"Why else would you cry—"
Before he could finish his words, a hand reached out, grabbed Jiang Ling's collar and pulled him down hard.
The moment their breath touched, the pair of golden eyes froze in place, followed by the stinging pain of being bitten hard on the lips, and the familiar, warm breath belonging to Chen Luan surging over.
He raised his hand and stroked the back of Chen Luan's head gently as if to soothe him.
"That's not how you kiss, Chen Luan."
"I'll teach you."
