"Division Commander, there is nothing left here, it looks like the handiwork of a wilderness hunter." The searching soldiers searched the battlefield. In addition to the corpses, all useful materials, whether weapons or various military equipment, were take away.
"It's like what hunters do." Tang Longjie looked around the battlefield. Judging from the grades on their clothes, the corpses left behind seemed to be low-level law enforcers. The corpses of the captain and deputy were not seen.
"Division Commander, there is something discovered here." A gust of wind blew by, blowing up the yellow sand on the ground, revealing a stone.
Tang Longjie walked over and saw the words "Death Night Charm" engraved on it. The smile on his lips couldn't be suppressed and he laughed. "This boy is really ruthless."
Looking at the handwriting on the boulder, it is clearly visible that every stroke is vigorous and powerful, penetrating deeply into the stone. Tang Longjie could even feel the remaining energy fluctuations and undissipated killing intent on the words, "Is his current strength already so terrifying?"
"Team He, why should we withdraw? They have no way to deal with a small team like ours harassing their large army." A hunter held the long knife in his right hand and followed the lines on the knife. Free to the tip of the knife.
"If we are held back by those people, we will be passive. Sooner or later, they will use their numerical advantage to bring us down." He Yunhua said, looking at the scorching sun in the sky, sticking out his tongue and licking his lips.
"Also, we will not attack the troops stationed in the wilderness area. They are the guardians of this city. We should not do anything to stab people in the back." He Yunhua said, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes.
…
As night fell, the dark night shrouded the wilderness. It was like a wild beast swallowing this wasteland into its belly. Not even a single starlight was visible in the night sky, as if something had swallowed up the starlight.
Lin Zihan, who was sitting on the top of the base, had darkness in his eyes. The endless night was like a sleeping beast, inhabiting the space between heaven and earth, sleeping in this desolation.
"Why are you here alone?" Cao Shan climbed up the stairs, holding a bottle of strong liquor, like vodka, in his hand, and two glasses in the other hand. As soon as it came up, the smell of wine blew with the wind in front of Lin Zihan's nose.
"I..." Lin Zihan said coldly, as if he was a little embarrassed, his mask was turned upside down on the iron plate, he was holding a lollipop in his hand and rubbing his thumb on the candy paper. The candy wrapper looks a little wrinkled. I don’t know how old this piece of candy is.
"Don't you call yourself the God of Death, Ye Mei? Is it possible that even gods can't let go of people?" Cao Shan said jokingly, sitting next to Lin Zihan. Place two cups on the ground and make a "dang-dang~" sound.
The bottle of strong wine in his hand had already been opened. As the wine was poured out of the bottle, the aroma of alcohol slowly emerged and soared upwards.
"No~" Cao Shan picked up a full glass of wine and handed it to Lin Zihan.
"I don't drink..." Before Lin Zihan could finish his words, Cao Shan put the wine glass into Lin Zihan's hand.
"It's a rare big victory today. The people below are having a party. I don't like the noise very much. Please drink two drinks with me." Cao Shan said and took a sip. The strong drink tasted like white water to Cao Shan. It only slipped around in the mouth, then followed the esophagus and fell into the stomach.
In just a moment, Cao Shan had already finished several glasses of wine, his face glowed red, and he began to feel dizzy. Lin Zihan, on the other hand, could only take a few sips of the glass of wine in his hand.
"Tell me about you. You obviously have a great future and are worth protecting. Why do you still come here and be a precarious hunter?" Cao Shan said drunkenly, putting his hand on Lin Zihan on the shoulders.
Looking sideways at Cao Shan, whose face was red, Lin Zihan felt that maybe he was drunk. With every word he spoke, the smell of alcohol in his mouth reached Lin Zihan's nose.
"I just..." As soon as Lin Zihan said three words, Cao Shan's big hand slapped Lin Zihan on the back. The force of the hand was so strong that Lin Zihan almost died.
"Don't say anything, just listen to me." Cao Shan said, his body still swaying, and with the blowing wind, it swayed like basil on the roof of the building.
"You are just a little kid. You are pretending to be serious here because of your ability or because you are young and mature. What have you experienced? When I killed people, you were still poking holes in the urine and making mud." Cao Shan said , looking up to the sky and laughing.
"What? What I said is wrong? Then tell me." Cao Shan looked at Lin Zihan's face, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, his body was swaying, and his hands were shaking on Lin Zihan's shoulders.
"The childhood I experienced should not be like this." Lin Zihan imitated Cao Shan, picked up the cup, and took a sip. The strong wine entered his mouth and passed through Lin Zihan's throat. A spicy taste stimulated Lin Zihan's throat. nasal cavity.
The flowing liquor was like a stream of magma, burning Lin Zihan's throat and making Lin Zihan's stomach feel uncomfortable.
"Ahem~" Before he could finish his words, the glass of strong wine was so hot that Lin Zihan coughed and his face turned red.
"My memory started when I was ten years old. As for things before the age of ten, I only have one dream, a dream that has been repeated for a long time." Lin Zihan said, with a hint of unnoticeable sadness and loss in the corner of his eyes.
"I woke up in the hospital, on a bed. The doctor told me that I have a painful disease that will accompany me throughout my life. The reason is that there are many tiny metals in my spine." Lin Zihan showed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth. That half-smiling look made people feel a little distressed.
"Later I was taken away from an orphanage, where we were taught things and sent to school...
I thought life was going to be great, until one day, I got bad grades and skipped class. The school notified the orphanage. I returned to the orphanage and was beaten severely. I was thrown into a small dark room with bruises all over my body. "Lin Zihan directly reached for the wine bottle and took a swig of strong liquor at the mouth of the bottle.
The spicy smell made Lin Zihan unable to feel the bitterness of tears.
"I cried and begged for mercy, but no one was willing to help me. Even the people I played with on weekdays regarded me as an alien. Only then did I realize that they just wanted to turn me into a machine, an obedient animal. Sheep." Two tears streaked across Lin Zihan's cheeks and slid into Lin Zihan's mouth.
"I swore at that time that I would leave that place." Lin Zihan said, a tear rolled down and fell on the roof, breaking into many petals.
"I wanted to escape from the devil's cave, but I would only be beaten one after another until I picked up the dagger and stabbed it into the man's body. The warm blood flowed along the dagger and onto my hand. This feeling makes me feel pleasure." Holding the wine bottle, Lin Zihan took another sip.
"After that, the Security Bureau just educated me a few words and let me go without even recording it. When I returned to the orphanage, everyone avoided me, even my mother who treated me the best in the past. One person is different.
That was on my way after school. I was stopped by a few gangsters. After a fight, I stabbed several of them with the dagger in my hand. I was also dying.
A masked man appeared and said he would teach me how to defend myself, so every day after school, I would train with him for an hour, which lasted for almost half a year. He said he was leaving, and there were more important things. Go and do it. " Lin Zihan said, the tears in the corners of his eyes had long dried up, and even his emotions had restrained, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him, and he was also a person outside the story.
"What happened next?" Cao Shan played with the wine glass in his hand, and the red light on his face faded a lot.
"Later, in order to survive, I needed money, so I started working as a waiter in some bars and the like. It was also there that I came into contact with the underground forces in Longcheng and hired killers." Lin Zihan said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. .
"The killer makes money quickly. Although it is a bit more dangerous, he is facing ordinary people and minions. In the small town of Longcheng, there are not many strengtheners, and those who are are some of the junior ones. My physical fitness is not good enough. Yes, I even made myself a lot of weapons, hidden weapons, armors, etc., and I can handle them all." Lin Zihan said with a proud smile on his lips.
As a driver, before using the brain, he relied on his physical fitness to become a killer. Lin Zihan was indeed something to be proud of.
"Then when did you become a driver?" Cao Shan said, grabbing the wine bottle from Lin Zihan's hand and pouring it into his own glass. The last drop of wine circled the mouth of the bottle and fell into Cao Shan's glass. In a wine glass.
"I don't know. I was beaten by a dozen enhancers that time, and somehow the core of the telencephalon was awakened. As for where this exoskeleton came from, it may have something to do with my life experience." Lin Zihan said, his face There is endless confusion, like an endless night.
"It's just that at that time, every time I used the exoskeleton, I would be exhausted. It wasn't until the last beast wave in Nandu that I truly controlled Duan Nao." Lin Zihan told the truth, without covering up, as if the strong alcohol made Lin Zi Han talked more.
"Your experience, no matter how it sounds, is a bit... strange, even a bit outrageous." Cao Shan drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp.
"The wine is gone, I'm going down." Cao Shan stood up, patted his butt, and walked towards the stairs.
"You are still young, everything has just begun. You don't belong here, and you shouldn't live in the shadows." Cao Shan suddenly stopped when he reached the stairs, leaving a nonsensical remark.
Lin Zihan turned around and looked at Cao Shan's back. Cao Shan was seen shaking, humming a strange tune, holding a wine bottle in his hand, and disappeared from Lin Zihan's sight.
On the top of the building, there was only the sound of the whistling wind, repeating those words.
After that night, neither Lin Zihan nor Cao Shan mentioned that incident again, as if they had never met that night.
