Chapter 166 A Heart of Steel Melts in Love
Qianzhi ran towards the second floor.
After exposing Rhodes' crimes, the man did not make any further defense for himself. Instead, he chose to blow through the roof of the mansion, hiding his whereabouts in a cloud of dust and screams.
Most of Bo Lan's sentinels were canine sentinels. With their keen perception, most people evacuated quickly.
"Qianqian, you should go back to the warship. It's not safe here." Bo Lan caught up with Qianzhi in two or three steps, picked up the girl, held her hips and put her on his shoulders.
Although he said words to stop her, as long as she didn't agree, he would still follow her orders and do what she wanted him to do.
"From the very beginning, Lyon used Rhodes' authority to let me know the existence of 'Ningyue'. At the same time, Rhodes also used Lyon's plant research and development capabilities to attract my attention," Qianzhi sorted out his thoughts while hugging Bo Lan's neck.
The man who had recovered his mental strength had amazing physical strength and explosive power. He quickly shuttled between the fallen stones, quickly passed through the corridor, and chased after Rhodes' shadow.
"But after realizing I wasn't fooled, he chose to attack me in the Ninth District bar," Chizhi recalled. "The man who spoke to me had induction and siphon marks on his body, forming an induction chain with the child android, causing a blinding explosion and capturing me."
"But Rand's appearance ruined some of his plans," Qianzhi pressed against Bo Lan's chest, lowered his little head, and made the man jump faster.
"So he chose to lure and deceive you again, and took the risky move of releasing false news about the Empire and the Inspectorate's collaboration. His ultimate goal was to lure Claude and me out." Qianzhi bit her lip.
Although Rhodes knew that he had no chance of winning, he did not even try to excuse himself.
She stared at Rhodes's figure who was not running away fast in front of her, frowning. What was he doing this for?
There was a cool breeze on the top floor at night.
The man in the dark grey suit stood on the edge of the roof, with half of his feet hanging in the air.
Rhodes stared at the darkness at the bottom of the building, then looked up at the hazy sky. The half-bright moon was slightly exposed, making him feel as if he saw the once lively smile of a girl.
He clenched the necklace that had been with him since two years ago, took it off and held it in his palm.
The half-closed door on the top floor was kicked open by the sentry who rushed over. His strong chest was heaving, and he held the black-haired girl firmly in his hands.
"Rod, what exactly is your purpose?" Qianzhi said softly.
The man with dark grey eyes chuckled and asked her instead.
"Guide Qianzhi, do you believe in so-called love?"
"The physiological temptation of pheromones has led poor people to have such a tragic illusion that the mutual attraction of pheromones is the essence of love." Rhodes' expression was cold and indifferent.
"This foolish attraction makes them willing to sacrifice their lives for each other."
"Is it stupid?" The cool breeze blew, and Qianzhi's hair was blown gently, and then Bo Lan gently tied it up, and raised his arms to help her block the cool wind.
"You seem to have forgotten that pheromones are also part of our bodies. They are like our eyes and faces, allowing people around us to clearly distinguish who we are through pheromones."
"Maybe pheromones will tempt people to make wrong judgments," Qianzhi put her arm around Bo Lan's shoulders, feeling the man's burning body temperature coming to her like warmth and continuously.
"But ultimately, what makes people attracted to each other is the pure, loving soul beneath the skin."
“Character, quality, conversation, ability, the scent that lingers on people’s noses will gradually fade, and those deeper things will gradually stand out.”
"And your judgment, Rhodes." The girl's thin lips touched up and down lightly, and the soft throat sound was resounding, like the sound of broken jade.
“Arbitrary and shallow.”
"Really?" Rhodes grinned.
His cold eyes were filled with paranoia as he looked up at the approaching fighter plane belonging to Lyon.
Rhode's words were light but filled with malice. "What if this love belonged to the current commander, who holds the demonic core? Would you still believe it?"
"Devil?" Qianzhi's eyebrows jumped.
She wanted to continue asking, but Rhodes had already spread his arms and fell from the roof.
Bo Lan took a few leaps over, but it was too late.
The man's figure disappeared into the shadows between the buildings, as if swallowed by the gluttonous darkness, leaving no trace.
"He ran away." Bo Lan's expression was stern, but he softened when he looked at Qianzhi.
"He didn't run away, but led us to our final destination." Qianzhi slid down from Bo Lan's arms and picked up the necklace pendant that Rhodes had left on the ground.
Inside was the face of a very young girl, and there seemed to be a young man hugging her, but her face was torn off.
"I think," Qianzhi stared at the falling girl, "she is the fuse that leads to the destination."
"Xia Dolan." The slender finger bones pinched the necklace, and the transparent glass of the pendant reflected the man's dark eyebrows and eyes.
He rubbed his fingertips, feeling the warmth of Qianzhi's slender fingers touching him when she handed him the pendant.
Dry and warm, unlike the bodies of other aquatic creatures that maintain low temperatures.
Leon licked his teeth.
Staring at the small piece of skin exposed by Qianzhi, his larynx moved.
I really want to lick it.
Every moment she was in the Federation, his desire to be close to her, to touch her, to hug her and kiss her, grew stronger.
Unfortunately, he was not even as good as a flower she touched, or even the door frame of the mansion.
She could touch them without any scruples, but every time she touched him, those green eyes were filled with vigilance.
"Who is she?" Qianzhi sighed that although the man in front of him was deep and strange, he was indeed like a robot and could remember the names of all the sentries and guides.
"A Class A Sentinel belonging to the 877th Legion." The shadow of this girl flashed through Leon's mind. It was a memory belonging to his previous life. "She died in a Zerg war two years ago."
"Dead." Qianzhi concentrated.
Rhodes' words, the boy with a damaged head in the photo, and the skeleton of the young guide in the cave
"Ryan Smith," she murmured the guide's name.
"By the way, where is Xia Dolan buried?"
Leon's fingers paused.
The burial place of the warriors is the eternal resting place of their souls.
His predecessor actually sealed this memory forever, just to let his soldiers rest in peace forever.
Leon Claude was not, as people said, just a robot fulfilling the duties of a commander.
He melted his iron heart into his love for people.
