Chapter 66 Heartbeat is Heartache
Chi Wan could no longer remember how she got on the bus.
After taking the combined heat inhibitor, the man kneeling on the ground with his spiritual body and torn clothes was too bewitching. She couldn't remember how she helped him inject the medicine under the gaze of his red wolf eyes.
Nor did he remember what he said to his subordinates when he destroyed that space-time rift.
I just remember what he said later.
There has been a major discovery with the main force, and everyone must gather.
She was helped into the car by his warm big hand.
The night wind was howling, and each vehicle was driving under the protection of the on-board barrier equipment.
The ghosts gathered around with roars, but were restricted by the barriers and could not get close to the car bodies.
There is a strange beauty in the pulling.
Chi Wan's hair was flying, and she turned her head to look at Shi Ye in front of her.
He happened to look back at her.
Those black eyes that were usually dark and calm were now like fallen stars, with a faint light rippling in them.
…
The light gradually approached, and behind the group of vehicles, most of the troops had arrived.
As soon as Chi Wan got out of the car, Shen Yu's eyes locked on her.
The tall sentry commander beside the girl protected her closely, and the two of them were so eye-catching and harmonious just standing there.
The smile on Chen Yu's lips suddenly faded a lot.
But the big tiger was very stubborn and domineering, and he squeezed through.
Li Su looked at everyone present:
"Everyone is here. The optical computer has just synchronized information with you.
We discovered that all the space-time rifts were just clones set up by pollutants to deceive us, and they could not lead to the Lost Sea.
Only by destroying all copies of the space-time rift can the real space-time rift appear."
As he spoke, he looked towards the vast expanse of black mist ahead:
"And ahead is the mother pool where the space-time rifts accumulate—the distorted space."
Yunqi approached the black mist:
"So all we need to do is enter this mother pool and destroy all the space-time rifts, right?"
"That's about it, but everyone knows the situation of the mother pool of the space-time rift...
This mother pool is extremely large.
It’s going to be a tough battle.”
Chi Wan had naturally heard that the mother pool of space-time rifts, that is, the distorted space pool, was a chaotic space that stored a large number of space-time rift fragments. Once people entered, they would be randomly transferred to various spaces with space-time rift fragments.
These spaces are all made up of polluted bodies and are extremely dangerous. Due to their extreme instability, sentinel guides can easily be teleported out of strange configurations. Once there is no strong main force in the team, there is even a risk of annihilation.
This kind of mother pool is usually built by many highly intelligent and high-level pollutants with a lot of effort and resources.
Cang Lin crossed his arms and looked at the black fog. Pei Yuan stood outside the crowd. His expression could not be seen in the backlight, but he looked calm.
"Qi Ye hasn't left yet. Let's not wait for him. Let's break the pond first."
Li Su put away his gun. With the leadership temperament cultivated by years of leading soldiers in the Interstellar Legion, he looked at everyone with a stern look:
“If you are afraid of death, you don’t have to go in.
Once you enter, if you flee and cause serious injuries to your teammates, the alliance will impose the highest punishment."
The sentries present looked at each other, and no one retreated.
The action began soon.
It would be a lie for Chi Wan to say she wasn't nervous, but her nervousness was only due to the unknown ahead, and she had no intention of retreating.
"Are you scared?"
Tokino's voice sounded from the front.
Chi Wan raised her eyes to look at him, only to find that Shen Yu was also looking at her.
Her face was determined and she just shook her head.
Then he stepped into the black fog without hesitation.
The black fog seemed to have a huge suction force. The moment Chi Wan stepped in, he felt his body being controlled by a powerful force.
Then it was like being drawn into a huge vortex, and time and space were twisted!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of gunfire, the roar of the contaminated bodies, and the exclamations of the sentries were heard intertwined.
Chi Wan fell heavily to the ground. She ignored the pain in her body and quickly got up from the ground to join the battle in front!
In this forest remnant that looked like it had been burned by a fire, the sky was filled with gray fog and an unpleasant burning smell. Amidst the unpleasant charcoal-like polluted bodies, they were crawling towards them in twisted shapes!
Chi Wan took out his gun and shot while quickly releasing his spiritual body!
The silver-white kitten charged among the spiritual groups of the sentinels, like a fearless white military doctor on the battlefield, providing the strongest assistance and support to all the sentinels.
Not only that, she also paid some attention to connecting with those sentinels who seemed to have strong combat capabilities.
Maximize the full utilization of her own abilities.
Running fast, Chi Wan soon rushed to the front of the team and saw the black and gold dragon rooted in the pile of polluted bodies.
It’s Cang Lin.
Sensing her energy and spirit body, he turned to look at her.
The excitement in those golden eyes subsided after he saw her calmness.
As if he was a little angry, he strode towards her:
"Don't you feel happy at all about being teleported to the same dimension as a Super SSS-class?"
He could protect her better than anyone else.
Chi Wan just looked at the contaminated object with a serious face:
"No nonsense, fight."
Cang Lin didn't say much, he stretched out his hand towards her:
"Strengthen me."
He saw it. Under her silver energy, the sentinel suddenly became much more powerful.
Chi Wan didn't refuse. In danger, she didn't care about any favors or grudges.
She released energy to try to connect with him, but the silver-white energy seemed to have its own consciousness. Even though she forced it to get closer to him, it was unwilling to touch him at all.
【Oh my, it really repels him. 】
Chi Wan and Cang Lin obviously noticed it too.
The Golden Dragon and his master were both furious. Cang Lin stared at Chi Wan with his golden eyes, filled with a complex mix of anger, grievance, and irritation, which ultimately morphed into a deep, unwavering question:
"Do you hate me that much?"
He let out a deep breath and turned to join the battle.
As if turning their grief and anger into motivation, the man and the dragon were both extremely fierce, forcing the contaminated body to retreat repeatedly.
Chi Wan hesitated for only a second before continuing to concentrate on the battle.
After the black soil, there is rocky land.
In the rocky land where magma was flowing, the polluted bodies that looked like flames emerged from the cracks in the ground, and at the end of the rocky land, the huge rocks began to tremble.
They are obviously all pollutants!
"It's very dangerous ahead. Sentinels below SS rank don't stand a good chance of winning, so stay put."
Cang Lin said this and rushed out first.
Chi Wan naturally followed closely behind, but the rocky ground was filled with flames and it was difficult to find a foothold.
Noticing her predicament, a black and gold dragon instantly flew over and picked her up.
Chi Wan sat down firmly and focused 100% on the battle.
Although she couldn't connect with Cang Lin, her mental barrier and devouring ability, combined with her relatively steady marksmanship, were a great help.
Among the thousands of polluted bodies, the golden dragon soared into the sky. Worried that Chi Wan would be thrown off the dragon's body, the huge dragon leaped low and sent her to Cang Lin. Cang Lin was in the fire at the moment. He picked up Chi Wan without saying a word to prevent her from being accidentally injured by the fire and continued to fight.
The action is not gentle at all.
Chi Wan's face felt a little painful from being rubbed by his rough skin, but she didn't cry or scream at all.
Still fighting with all his might.
Fortunately, under the super SSS level, the golden dragon, combined with Cang Lin's explosive punches and bold swordsmanship, destroyed an area in an instant.
After the dragon's tail finally killed a group of contaminated bodies, Cang Lin suddenly felt refreshed.
He put down the little man in his arms and turned to look at her excitedly:
"So, working with me isn't that bad, right?"
Say you don't hate him anymore.
But he bumped into a wrinkled little face.
Chi Wan took several steps back almost as soon as he put her down, with the obvious rejection in her eyes like a knife.
It stung his smile.
He had hoped that her attitude towards him would improve after his performance just now, but he never expected that this rejection would be like a glacier on the snowfield, difficult to melt.
The fire was suddenly a bit choking, and the burnt smell made his throat tight.
For the first time, Cang Lin truly realized how much she hated him.
It was so thick that it formed a deep chasm.
Unable to cross.
His golden eyes were reflected by the firelight, and his voice lost its former strength and became unnaturally deep:
"So you hate me so much."
Chi Wan didn't say anything, but the action of taking a step back explained everything.
"Your energy can connect to those ordinary sentinels, but it can't connect to me."
The big knife in his hand was still dripping with black blood, but his tall body seemed to be a little weak for a moment.
Cang Lin looked down at her, trying to understand all her thoughts.
The huge high-level polluted body behind him began to crawl up from the ground. The huge golden dragon was fighting with it, but Cang Lin in the firelight did not move.
He looked at her closely: "What image do I have in your mind?"
The golden dragon soared into the sky and into the earth, fighting back and forth with the high-level polluted body.
Amid the dragon's roar, Chi Wan looked up at Cang Lin's face reflected in the firelight.
This face exactly matched the cold and strong expression that forced her to appease him that day.
She blurted out: "Disgusting."
Every time he uttered these four words, his brows furrowed even more.
In the end, his brows were almost condensed into several ravines, the battle behind him was still going on, and the ground was shaking slightly.
Cang Lin suddenly laughed.
The smile was bitter and self-deprecating, and there was no trace of his former pride on his gray face anymore.
He said in a deep voice: "It makes people disgusted."
His golden eyes were so dry that they felt painful.
He turned his head away and stopped looking at her:
"Okay, since you hate me so much, then stay away from me. I will fight the remaining pollutants by myself."
Chi Wan looked at the golden dragon behind him.
It doesn't look difficult.
She did not refuse and turned away, joining other sentinels in the battle against the small pollutants in the distance.
Chi Wan was always focused in battle and didn't notice that the dragon roar in the distance behind him had never been heard again.
Only after all the contaminants were killed did she realize something was wrong among the sentinels.
Several sentries came over from behind, whispering:
"I went to check on him, and Commander Cang said he was fine."
"He seems a little unhappy and his injuries are particularly serious."
"High-level contaminants are inherently difficult to deal with. If the commander fights alone, injuries are inevitable."
“As a sentry at Base A1, I can only say that he is not in the right state.
Our commander would normally be unharmed against contaminated entities of that level."
Chi Wan stood up and walked through the crowd towards Cang Lin.
Passing through the uneven black rocks, she saw a giant black and gold dragon body lying on the ground.
The dragon was badly injured, with wounds of all sizes on its body, and many of its scales had fallen off. It just lay there motionless on the rock. In front of it, the figure sitting on the rock had wounds of all sizes all over its body, and looked extremely lonely.
Cang Lin stood up and wanted to destroy the space-time rift, but his eyes found Chi Wan's figure not far away.
He paused slightly, but he didn't feel at all that she came for him.
In the battle just now, he was rarely able to do anything. His confused mind and lost emotions were like two disruptors, causing him to make frequent mistakes.
Only her four words kept echoing in my ears.
The moment the body is attacked, the mind and thoughts are clearest.
He thought a lot.
He thought of his spirit's desire for her, and of his own transformation towards her.
I thought about the fact that I had deceived myself and was unwilling to admit, but which was now lying in front of me.
Maybe he fell in love with her.
He fell in love with her even though she already hated him so much.
"I'm sorry about what happened before."
As he spoke, his lonely and pale face did not dare to look at Chi Wan any longer.
He was afraid of seeing some disgust and rejection, which would make him feel a dull pain in his heart.
He smashed the space-time rift with force.
The space twisted, and the scene in front of Chi Wan changed.
