Winter winter winter winter.
There was a rapid knock on the door, and Dou Ming suddenly opened his eyes, almost instinctively raised the gun and loaded it, and put his finger on the trigger.
Uncle Li, who was snoring just a second ago, also jumped up from the bed and shouted: "Who!"
"gather!"
Dou Ming realized that it was the voice of Lawrence's deputy Adam.
Uncle Li gave him an adaptable look, and then the two of them rushed out of the room and found that the corridor was full of Spades members, but no one was making any noise, only the sound of doors opening and closing and chaotic footsteps.
After a moment, Lawrence came to the middle of the crowd and said in a low voice: "Unload the bullet, hang the empty magazine, and unload the magazine."
Everyone didn't know why, but they did it without hesitation.
After the intensive sound of repelling bullets, Lawrence ordered again: "Make way."
The crowd was immediately divided.
Dou Ming was squeezed so hard that his back pressed against the wall, and he couldn't help but become nervous.
Suddenly, a series of heavy footsteps came from the stairs not far away, and it sounded like the sound of metal hitting the floor. However, when he stood on tiptoe and looked around, he saw nothing.
Lawrence in the middle of the passage bowed his body and said nothing.
The sound of footsteps came from far to near.
The next moment, seven tall figures appeared out of thin air. They are strong and muscular, covered with fish-scale metal armor, which shines brightly under the light. Their helmet masks are like the curved section of a golden honeycomb, with pentagons flashing one after another. They hold a huge gun diagonally in their hands. , the caliber is exaggerated and looks like a short cannon, with a dazzling red light surging in the middle of the gun body.
Dou Ming was startled, and his companions around him also looked surprised. Some of them muttered something in a very low voice. He only heard two words: "Legion".
"Where is the box?" The leader of the seven had special patterns on his shoulders and made a sonorous mechanical sound.
"This way," Lawrence led the seven people towards the guest room where the air-tight boxes were stored.
Looking at the seven disappearing and reappearing figures, the Spade members who stayed in place began to whisper. Dou Ming pulled Uncle Li and asked in a low voice: "A big shot in the legion?"
"What a big shot, just seven big-headed soldiers," Uncle Li pretended to be calm.
Silla, who was standing in the front row, turned back and said with a smile: "Look at this formation, we will see the big shots soon."
At this time.
The mechanical sound came again: "This floor has been taken over by the Guards' special response force. All residents of the lower city area are gathering on the first floor."
ten minutes later.
Under the leadership of Lawrence, a group of Spades members took the stairs down to the first floor.
The sky has not yet come up, but the hall is brightly lit and crowded.
Dou Ming realized that everyone in the container building had been rushed here. He also saw Park Zhengtai, the boss of Samsung Club, staying obediently in the crowd, with his head hanging down, completely without the arrogance he had before.
As more and more people came downstairs, the hall became crowded and hot, but no one dared to complain, because from the main entrance to the elevator entrance, two rows of armored soldiers held short cannons. The muzzles of the cannons were always pointed at the crowd, and electric light surged. , obviously in a state of firing at any time.
Dou Ming was only a few meters away from the nearest soldier. He stared at the huge electromagnetic weapon in the soldier's hand with fiery eyes.
When the goblins invaded, he had seen Xi'an infantry fighting with the goblins from a distance. This electromagnetic weapon was like thunder when activated, and its power was astonishing. In comparison, all the guns he had used looked like toys.
Suddenly, Uncle Li next to him pushed him, and he subconsciously turned his head and his eyes widened immediately.
I saw a stream of light swaying outside the hall door, and countless soldiers were looming, marching in neat steps to form a square formation, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A crane train stopped at the door, and two men and one woman stepped out.
The three of them wore short-brimmed military hats with bright military emblems and tight-fitting collared military uniforms. Among them, the shorter woman also wore a gray lapel coat, which was dignified but elegant.
There was silence in the hall.
Dou Ming swallowed, his palms full of sweat.
This is a big shot in the Xian Legion.
——————
Guest room on the twenty-fifth floor.
The sheets on the big bed were messy. Li Liang turned over, put his arms around Cain's waist, and asked with a smile, "Are they here?"
"Well, you can sleep a little longer..."
It wasn't until the sound of even breathing came from beside him again that Cain gently took away the hand that was in her suspender skirt, quietly left the bedroom, closed the door, and turned around to enter the bathroom.
After hastily taking a shower, she walked to the floor-to-ceiling window wearing a towel and opened the curtains.
The sky was dark, and the container buildings in the distance were flashing with colorful lights and shadows.
Dongdong.
There was a slight knock on the door.
Cain glanced at the bedroom, wiped his hair and walked to the door. He opened the door and saw the person clearly and said in surprise: "Group?"
"excuse me."
We haven't seen each other for many days. The representative personality of the group is still Sorge. He is tall and burly. He is now wearing a military uniform and holding a military cap in one hand. His demeanor is more oppressive than before. The only thing that remains unchanged is his trembling eyes.
"Where are Robben and Li Anqiao?"
"They're in the conference room upstairs."
"Come in," Cain walked back to the sofa and sat down, continuing to wipe his hair, "Why are you here?"
"Sonoya sent me a message last night, saying that her actions in Zhongjing were very important and that the 'whisper' intelligence network needed to be activated to the greatest extent. In addition, there are some things that I think it is necessary to interview Li Liang."
"Oh...the military uniform is very handsome."
"Thanks."
Cain ruffled his hair, lowered his head, folded a towel, and asked casually: "How is the Gate of Spiritual Reason?"
"The carbon-based biozone in Qishan City has begun to take shape, which is enough to receive representatives of various civilizations participating in the opening ceremony. The reorganization of the legions is nearing completion. It is expected that the formation of three main legions will be completed before the New Year. In terms of ships, the Tifami people delivered The second batch of battleships has arrived at the port and is expected to be accepted next week. The first batch of assault ships manufactured at the lunar base are also being assembled in the anchor space. It is expected..."
"Wait a minute," Cain scratched his eyebrows, "I'm just asking casually. You should report this to Li Liang."
"good."
"By the way, is there any news from the Terranza Alliance?"
"I have brought the most recent issues of the Makosik Times. Judging from the battle situation, it is estimated that the coalition forces will be able to retake the Yinkan Defense Line in more than ten days."
Cain raised his eyebrows and said, "Good news."
"Li Liang has been worried about Harlan Potter's position. At least for now, Makosic City's attitude is very clear. The goblins also abide by the Treaty of Avalon and gradually withdraw their troops from the four spiritual core mines that were compensated to us."
"Our four fleets are still where they are?"
"Well, I came here this time to talk to Li Liang about this matter. Chico took the initiative to contact us, hoping that we can provide data on human civilization."
"Chico...is the Chico who has only one life in the universe?"
"Um."
"After cleaning up the mess in the lower city, I must go to the spiritual world to play around," Cain looked excited.
The group did not respond and instead asked: "I heard that the investigation did not go well?"
"What?"
"Natural Cult."
"Oh, yes, it's a mess." At this point, Cain suddenly leaned forward, "Hey, did you smell anything strange?"
The group hesitated: "What do you mean?"
"Do I smell weird?"
"shampoo."
"No, stew. Does it smell like stew?"
The group sniffed: "It does smell like cooked meat. What's wrong?"
"Well..." Cain shook his head, "Forget it, you should ask Li Liang."
The two fell silent.
Just when Cain was hesitating to wake up Li Liang, the group asked: "Li Anqiao is training Mayfly for you, a special force of nearly three hundred people."
Cain fiddled with the towel and nodded, "Yes."
"You don't trust K and Sonoya? Or..."
"I don't trust anyone," Cain snorted, "Why, you, a big shot in the Xian Legion, would you still put three hundred people in your sights?"
Romance
The group suddenly laughed: "You are worrying too much, I am just asking casually."
"Come on," Cain said angrily.
The atmosphere became much more relaxed now, and she raised her eyebrows: "I've always been curious, do you... have any girls?"
"……have."
"I want to meet."
The group turned to look at the empty space, as if listening to the voices of other personalities. For a moment, they slowly leaned on the sofa. The muscles on their faces began to twist and deform abnormally. Their hair grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, their bodies began to shrink. But my belly slowly swelled.
In the end, the burly Sorge turned into a chubby white girl with blond hair, a round face, freckles on both sides of her nose, and her military uniform became extremely ill-fitting and baggy, making her look a bit funny.
"Hey, honey, what's your name?" Cain leaned over and hugged the girl's shoulders.
"Uh, we, my name is Daisy," Daisy lowered her head and twisted her hands together, her voice showing embarrassment.
"Daisy, do you rarely come out?"
"Well, it's dangerous outside, and I can't handle it." Daisy looked sideways at the empty space with an anxious expression, "Wait, don't leave, I want to go back..."
"No, let's talk for a while," Cain said with a smile on his face, "Hey, why don't your eyes tremble?"
Daisy looked around blankly, then finally sighed and murmured, "They don't like looking out with my eyes."
"What's the meaning?"
"With many people looking out at the same time, the focus of the eyes will be unstable. Mr. Nerd warned everyone a long time ago, but the men didn't take it to heart."
"So that's it," Cain suddenly realized, "Humph, ignore those stinky men."
Daisy was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, "Well... your hair is of really good quality, not frizzy at all."
"ah?"
"Do you use conditioner?"
"Well……"
"Your hair is still wet, let me help you dry it."
Cain didn't follow Daisy's train of thought at all, and stared blankly as Daisy ran into the bathroom to get a hair dryer and then ran back, plugged it in, and started blowing her hair.
"Blue suits you well, but next time you can try highlights or ombre."
"oh."
"It would be nice if I had a hair straightener, look at this, it's all shapeless..."
"oh."
"Hey? Do you want me to cut it for you?"
Cain turned his head stiffly and asked, "What...are you doing?"
"I'm a barber."
"..."
"Do you want to cut it?"
"..."
A few minutes later, Cain was sitting at his desk with a towel on his shoulders and a dull look on his face. Daisy in military uniform was skillfully cutting her hair.
After doing her job, Daisy seemed to be a different person, focused and talkative.
"Cain, do you like Li Liang?"
Cain nodded and came to his senses for a moment, "Huh?"
"I said, do you like Li Liang...raise your head..."
"Alright, it's okay."
"Like it or not?"
Cain didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why do you ask this?"
"They said that Li Liang is a very contradictory person, especially after merging with another Li Liang."
"Um."
"They said that Li Liang wanted to make the world fairer, and at the same time continued to consolidate power, but he didn't realize it..."
Cain glanced in the direction of the bedroom: "I noticed he showed another side when he was angry and smelled smoke."
"Then can you accept his other side?"
At this time.
The sound of the door opening came.
Li Liang walked out of the bedroom and came to the desk, looking at Daisy seriously.
Cain stood up with a look of dismay on his face, but the next moment, Li Liang asked seriously: "Is this the barber you found? Can you give me a haircut too?"
"..."
