On the sea.
Crazy explosions, soaring flames, flying debris, and miserable cries for help concealed all the truth.
Before Nangong Faner died, the last person he saw probably shouldn't be called a human being, but was just a human-shaped metal body.
Through the 2-meter-deep sea water, he saw the flashing metallic light and the cold metal face.
Calculation, who thought he had control over everything, didn't expect to encounter such a powerful high-end robot, which completely stumped him.
At this time, he fully understood what a terrible opponent he had provoked.
Chi!
The cold metal hand knife pierced straight into the heart and penetrated the beating internal organs.
Before he died, images from the past appeared in his blurry mind.
Since coming to Earth Star, he has always despised the incompetence and powerlessness of the local residents, always regarded himself as superior, always treated them with indifference and disdain, and always aggressively bullied them. As a result, he planted the seeds of underestimating the enemy and bore the poisonous fruit of self-deception.
“Haste makes waste!”
He thought of Luqiu Gu Hong's advice, but unfortunately he couldn't listen to it, thinking that the success was his own and irreversible.
"Too much ambition and not enough determination."
He recalled the words of advice given to him by a senior after he entered the political arena.
When I tried my best to argue, I was touched by the regretful expression shown by the other party.
It's a pity that after that, it was forgotten in the busy daily government affairs, interpersonal relationships, and social clinging, and no longer took it seriously.
As his life gradually disappeared, he suddenly realized his regret.
Underestimating any opponent will lead to unpredictable and fatal consequences.
In the last moments of his life, he thought of his miserable childhood, the hateful boy, the high-spirited youth, the scenes of sobriety or confusion, pain or happiness, advancement or degradation.
The scenes flashed back one by one, in emptiness and pain, ending a relatively young life and slowly sinking into the cold seabed.
The remaining people, no matter how hard they fled, could not escape the ruthless slaughter.
The whole process took less than 7 minutes. "Buli" killed the primary target, completed all scheduled tasks, and quietly sank and swam into the distance.
Evening, 9:40.
William and two other believers surfaced and saw a wild scene.
The clouds began to gather, and under the pitch-black night sky, the blowing sea breeze blew dots of firelight around, sometimes igniting scattered debris and emitting a choking smell.
A distance of 1 nautical mile away, the opposite side was also in a mess. Fire, thick smoke, debris, and the occasional human head showed that it had experienced the same explosion.
The only difference was that William found that the two speedboats on his side were still floating on the sea, undulating and drifting in the wind less than 500 meters away from him.
As a former military instructor, he couldn't understand why he only heard three explosions before going into the water. Why such intense damage was caused?
Theoretically it was established, he could only comfort himself in this way.
Due to excessive blood pumping and severe trauma to his body, coupled with the injury to his internal organs just now, William was already very weak at this time.
It was our best effort to surface, and we could no longer swim to the speedboat.
After seeing the situation clearly, the two believers held up their guns and swam hard to the nearest speedboat.
After 8 minutes, we finally approached the speedboat.
The two helped each other get on the speedboat, and quickly started the boat without caring about anything else. They turned to look at William who kept waving, discussed a few words, and drove the speedboat towards this side.
On the other side, Wright, who had escaped death, just emerged from the bottom of the water with a small oxygen tank on his back.
Looking at this inexplicable scene, he couldn't figure out what was going on. He only heard the commander shout "An unknown object is attacking!" and he was thrown into the sky.
He was glad that he had done a good job in safety insurance. When he saw something was wrong, he put on a body armor, a diving suit, and carried an oxygen tank just in case. He did not have the special physique of the commanders and princes, and could not withstand the torment of the explosion. He did not care about the ridicule of the alien warriors or the narrow smiles of the two princes, and stood next to Nangong Faner shamelessly.
As a result, of course we got it right.
The moment the explosion sounded, he relied on his professionalism to instinctively cover his head and respirator with both hands, curled up into a ball to reduce the risk of severe damage to his body's vital organs, and avoided the casual killing of the sheep by "Never Leaving". Fortunately, he survived. Come down.
At this time, with the help of the remaining firelight on the opposite side, he discovered from a distance that two people were climbing onto the speedboat on the opposite side.
I was so shocked that I didn't have time to turn on my phone to call the police. I quickly dived again and used the sea water to cover up and swam towards the dark area.
The two believers dragged William onto the speedboat, and they wanted to leave the place and drive to the predetermined coordinate point.
William took a breath, shook his head and said, "I can't do it anymore. Send me to another speedboat."
One person wondered: "Why don't we go together? There's still enough time."
William said: "These vampires have caused me to only have a few years left in my life. Leave me a gun. I want to recover this blood debt."
The two looked at each other and extended their thumbs to William: "The goddess will protect you and grant your wish."
After speaking, William was sent to another speedboat.
William's own mission had been completed. He threw away the remote control given by Captain White, took off the special oxygen tank, and said with a smile:
"The diving suit has been punctured. This oxygen tank and helmet are still useful. I'll leave it to you to escape."
After he finished speaking, he took the loaded AK47, climbed into the speedboat on the opposite side, and turned around and said:
"The coordinate point is a small desert island, 80 nautical miles away from here. If a cargo ship passes by after a day, you will be free."
"May the goddess bless you."
The two of them watched William drive the speedboat to the opposite side without hesitation, gestured a few times in the direction he was going away, then turned the boat's bow and headed southwest at full speed.
Boom!
For a time, there was lightning and thunder, dark clouds were pressing over the sky, and heavy rain seemed to be pouring down.
The wind roared on the sea and the waves suddenly rose.
The fires that were burning everywhere gradually showed signs of extinguishing.
William drove the speedboat and quickly arrived at the opposite sea area. Taking advantage of the flickering light, he pointed his gun at the head of a person undulating with the waves nearby and fired twice, killing the first struggler.
clatter! clatter!
He then wandered around, hunting the heads that popped up from time to time.
After 10 minutes and 2 rounds, a total of 3 people were killed, all of whom were survivors without breathing equipment.
Wright was about 10 meters underwater and was pushed away by the waves. Listening to the humming sound above his head, he never dared to show his head and stayed underwater waiting for an opportunity.
He checked the connection meter and saw that the remaining energy could last for 30 minutes, which should be enough to last until the other party left.
The diving suit on his body was torn, and the cold water penetrated his skin, making his teeth chatter.
He must grit his teeth and hold on, otherwise he will die.
Another five minutes passed, and William did not find the attacker again.
At this time, the sky finally fell impatiently with heavy rain, which quickly extinguished the few remaining flames on the sea.
Between the sea and the sky, it turned into darkness.
Occasionally, lightning cracks the sky, instantly illuminating everything on the sea.
William wanted to raise the protective cover to protect it from the rain, but unfortunately the slots on both sides were deformed and could not be raised or lowered.
The waves were very big and the boat was unstable and not very responsive. So I simply turned off the headlights and engine and let it drift with the tide.
In order to maintain physical fitness, he opened the rear cabin plywood, took out a package of cooked food, mixed it with rainwater and swallowed it.
About 1 nautical mile away from him, Wright no longer heard the hum of the engine underwater. He found that the remaining air volume was less than 15 minutes, and the body's stored energy heat was declining. He felt anxious.
"If you don't get killed, you'll freeze to death. We can't wait any longer, so let's take a gamble."
Wright made up his mind, quickly surfaced, came to the surface, took off his breathing mask, took several mouthfuls of salt water, and began to rise and fall with the waves.
He took out his mobile phone, which was stuck on his body, and with trembling hands, he dialed the number of the UFO Distribution Center with great effort.
After being connected, he briefly explained the situation, told the specific coordinates, and asked him to report to the police immediately and send a flying saucer to rescue Chief Nangong.
So far, he has not encountered any of the five people with special physiques. He thinks that they are powerful and certainly not afraid of winds, waves and water temperatures of this level. The probability of survival is very high, so there is no need to worry.
Later, he dialed the number of a local subordinate.
He has explained his funeral arrangements, and in case he does not survive, some physical savings should be left to be distributed by his relatives.
10:07 p.m.
After receiving a call from Wright, the UFO Distribution Center of the Earth and Star Administration checked the dispatch records and found that the coordinates of Nangong Faner's arrival in the evening were consistent with the positioning coordinates of Wright's ID card phone, indicating that Chief Nangong was likely to encounter In danger or ambushed, trapped in this sea area.
The situation was reported to the Central Undersecretary's Office, which attracted great attention. A warship was immediately dispatched to the site of the accident to rescue Chief Nangong and identify the attacker.
Local extremists who dare to openly challenge alien management must be dealt with mercilessly to demonstrate the sacred and inviolable majesty of the Earth and Star Administration.
Wright silently calculated the time and estimated that he would arrive in 30 minutes at the earliest. If the war saucer came, it would be faster.
With backup, he felt a little relieved, slowed down his stroke frequency, and tried to maintain his strength until rescue forces arrived.
At the moment, the most dangerous challenge comes from those driving speedboats.
If he is discovered by it, he will have to dive again, and he may not have any hope of surviving.
10:20pm.
William ate some food and regained his strength. After thinking for a while, he guessed that he didn't have much time left.
The heavy rain was still falling, so he restarted the speedboat and turned on the headlights to continue searching for the remaining survivors.
Now he has returned with his capital and profits. Killing one more person means reducing one hidden danger that harms the world.
He didn't know beforehand that aliens were involved. It wasn't until the last moment that he discovered that there was a purple drone monitoring and scanning the opposite side, and he realized that the matter was deeply involved.
He didn't know the reason for the entanglement between the Strauer family and aliens. Now that he had chosen a side, he would definitely try his best to eliminate the hidden dangers.
What's more, he had already had the idea of decision in advance, and he could just solve some of the aftermath problems for him, which could be regarded as repaying "Third Brother" for saving his life.
From the inside to the outside, we turned around three times, but still found no trace of the survivors. We continued to expand the scope to look for the remaining survivors.
10:30pm.
William expanded the range to 2 nautical miles, and finally in the residual light of the headlight, he spotted two vampire members who couldn't hold back their breath and came out to breathe.
Without saying a word, he opened fire and quickly killed two people.
Time was running out, and William used his last chance to wander around crazily, hoping to find traces of his target again.
Because the speedboat engine was too noisy, and the enemy used the misty rain, fog, and rolling waves as cover, it was difficult to encounter a chance of coincidence.
10:36 p.m.
The heavy rain has not stopped yet, and a battle saucer from the Earth and Star Administration has arrived.
Strong spotlights illuminated the sea area exceptionally brightly, but the rain and fog made it difficult to see clearly.
In the war saucer control room, the large screen showed the scene of the sea below.
Colorful floating objects are scattered on the sea.
The occasional reflective oil stains and large pieces of plastic frame tell experienced battle saucer commanders that a fierce battle must have occurred here.
Many traces were washed away by the heavy rain, and the air smoke detection data that has not completely dissipated proves this possibility.
