After Han Qingyu greeted Lao Jian with all the curse words he knew and heard, the battle on the top of the slope stopped with the last two screams.
"Gululu", a corpse rolled down the slope.
It landed about less than fifty centimeters in front of Han Qingyu, swayed a few times, was blocked by shrubs, and stopped there.
Han Qingyu: "..."
"Where did it fall? Let me go down and take a look." A voice said from the top of the slope.
Han Qingyu's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
In the situation in front of him, it was difficult to distinguish between good and evil for the moment, but for Han Qingyu, this was a real matter of life and death.
Who can guarantee that the person who just killed someone will not just pick up the knife and drop it when he finds him?
Facing the source energy device, Han Qingyu had no chance to resist.
"It's just a piece of source energy, why are you so anxious... Let's talk about it later, I promise not to steal it from you." At this time, another voice said.
"I'm afraid if someone is still alive."
"It's really dead. Moreover, today, it will be completely dark soon, and you can't see anything under the pitch black darkness. Don't worry. Let's do things first. I think the people who went out in Weilan will be back soon."
The conversation ended abruptly, and after that, there was no sound of footsteps.
Up and down the slope, the distance should actually be considered very close. However, Han Qingyu could not hear the conversation very clearly because of his nervousness, and the few scattered words that fell in his ears were still a bit vague. Obscure and difficult to understand, such as "blue people", "doing things" and so on.
He couldn't even tell if the two men had left.
Because judging from their footsteps, they shouldn't have left yet. But if the problem is that when the source energy device is activated and they leave cautiously, these people can indeed be almost silent.
In short, no matter what the situation is... they probably won't come down for the time being.
Han Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief and realized that his back was already soaked in cold sweat.
After a while of this, he finally summoned up the courage to raise his head slightly and glance at the corpse in front of him.
"Why are you looking at me again?"
The body was lying sideways in the bushes, with its head tilted and a pair of eyes looking directly at the position of Han Qingyu... The situation was very similar to that of Lao Jian that day.
"Look at me, it's useless. I won't save anyone even after I die. If I do, I'll harm me... Besides, you're already dead."
Subconsciously, with a slow-motion rhythm, Han Qingyu reached out and helped the corpse close its eyes... However, he actually opened them again on his own.
...Not completely dead?
Judging by his eyes, he must be dead. Looking at the body again, there is a cut on the neck and two bloody holes on the chest. The blood is flowing out in the gradually darkening twilight.
He was definitely dead, even the metal belt on his body was cut off...but he died with his eyes open.
"Don't look at it, I can't help you get revenge...I can't protect myself."
Han Qingyu complained and explained in his heart, tried hard to avoid the corpse's sight, adjusted his breathing, calmed down, and carefully observed the corpse.
He soon discovered:
The man who died in front of him not only had the metal straps and other things in front of him exactly the same as Lao Jian's, but even the gray shirt-style uniform he wore was the same style as what Lao Jian and others were wearing that night.
The same goes for the uniform epaulettes. Except for the color of the star embedded on the epaulettes, Lao Jian's is silver, while this man's is like black iron. Everything else is the same.
It seemed that the person who was killed in front of him was one of his own. So, the two blue people mentioned above should be Lao Jian and the others, right?
So, those two above are enemies? ! Just killed a blue warrior, and seems to have something important to do, the enemy.
Immediately after making this judgment, Han Qingyu was covered in cold sweat again, and he quickly shrank back into the pit, motionless, and listened carefully...
For a while, there was still no movement above.
Gone?
Han Qingyu was not sure whether the other party had left or not, but he knew very well that he had to leave, otherwise, when the other party came down to check the body, he would almost certainly be discovered.
Staying here will lead to death.
Raise your head, prepare to observe the surrounding situation and choose a way to escape.
But when Han Qingyu cast his eyes on the ground in front of him, he was immediately attracted by something... Right in front of him, about one meter away, the metal box of the dead man fell there.
There... there is an active energy block.
"Take it and leave, it won't make any difference anyway."
Taking a deep breath, taking a deep breath, Han Qingyu couldn't hold it in after all. He used the slowest and gentlest movements to straighten his body slightly and stretch his arms as much as possible... Finally, he put his fingertips on the box.
Then, using slower and lighter movements, he touched a vertical latch on the side of the box, twisted it out, and slowly pushed it up bit by bit...
The box was opened.
For the first time, Han Qingyu opened the source energy device.
He adjusted his posture and looked intently.
However, the situation was a little unexpected. What appeared in Han Qingyu's sight was not the dark golden semi-molten metal block that he had seen that day and had probably been directly absorbed by him.
Placed in the middle of the box is a square, dark blue crystal with a side length of no more than six centimeters.
At first glance, it looks a bit like a piece of dark blue jelly, but it is hard. There are irregular cracks inside, or it may be restrained and zigzag light, or even the fixed flashing of stars. It is very beautiful and touching.
So, this is the source energy block that the troops refine and distribute to them?
Without time to think more or much hesitation, Han Qingyu stretched out his hand to touch... take it away, rather suck it away. "If I can really absorb source energy directly..."
The answer is, he can.
And unlike the last time when he didn't feel it either because of nervousness or ignorance, this time, Han Qingyu felt something rushing towards him the moment his fingertips touched the source energy block.
It feels like a drop of warm, clear spring water, slowly flowing from the fingertips, through the palms, wrists, pulses, forearms, to the body, and then another drop, and another drop...
"Gone?!"
After repeated attempts, Han Qingyu finally determined that the source energy block was empty. The blue crystal-like appearance was still there, but there was no energy inside.
It shouldn't have been empty, he felt a little annoyed.
Just once.
Han Qingyu didn't even have time to carefully feel whether there were any changes in his body.
Because what is more important right now is life.
He needs to leave here as soon as possible.
…………
Observing the surroundings again, with the last faint light, Han Qingyu looked carefully and carefully this time, and then, his heart became disheartened, it was over.
Han Qingyu didn't know why he chose such a place before...a place with no road ahead and dead branches on both sides.
The dead branches are layer upon layer, as if they have been accumulated over the years of cutting and discarding. Under the current situation, as long as Han Qingyu moves in these two directions, whether he crawls or walks, there will definitely be crackling...the dead branches are squeezed and broken or moved and knocked. The intensive explosion caused by the attack.
Recall, in fact, when he came, he stepped on it, and that was the situation. It's just that the situation was different at the time, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with these noises at all. He even felt that the piled up dead branches were a kind of cover. At that time, he only wanted to hide, but did not think of retreating.
Now what?
Push the body down, and bet the people above will hear the sound and think it fell naturally. When they come down to check, they will jump directly below...
No, this is too self-deceiving.
After trying his best to think to no avail, Han Qingyu felt depressed. He unconsciously turned his head back, glanced at the slope, and smiled sadly in his heart: Maybe they are no longer up there at all.
This possibility does indeed exist, but there is no information to provide judgment. It is a completely blind gamble.
At the same time, this glance also made Han Qingyu discover another thing: there is a direction where he can climb and no dead branches will break...
The direction of the soil slope.
It was a not too steep slope, with only solid and slightly moist red soil and clumps of green grass.
"But why should I climb up there? To see if they are there?"
Three seconds later... Han Qingyu decided to see if they were there.
If he's not there, he'll run away.
here I am? Go back, push the body, and take a gamble.
He didn't want to blindly gamble, nor did he want to wait for death. He didn't want to miss the escape opportunity that might actually exist because of his cowardice and despair... By mistake, he wasted time, and instead waited until the other party came back.
Leaning out from the pit, Han Qingyu felt for the soldier's knife, took it back, and put it on the belt behind his waist... He felt for his cone-shaped dagger, took it back, and held it in his hand.
Then, he slowly turned around.
With one hand, he used a rotary drill to slowly drill the dagger into the red soil. With the other hand, he grabbed a clump of green grass and took the first step towards the top of the soil slope.
At this moment, his whole body was concentrated and concentrated, and he realized that the blue crystal source energy he had just absorbed was not directly absorbed by the body like the dull metal block before. It was like a small pool of water in the palm of his hand. The amount is small and can be felt in the veins of the body.
Of course, this small pool of water may also be being digested, but the speed is not that fast, and it is difficult to specifically perceive it.
It acts more externally. For example, when Han Qingyu exerts force on his arm, this part of the source energy will flow to his arm along with the guidance, exerting its effect, and at the same time, it will be consumed.
This effect is obvious. Han Qingyu can clearly feel the changes in his strength, speed and explosive power in a short period of time.
This made his climb much easier.
The slope itself was not high, so despite being cautious, Han Qingyu quickly approached the top of the slope. In the last few steps, there happened to be a small back slope in front of him that he could stick his body on.
Han Qingyu pressed his body tightly against the small back. Adjust your breathing, and then slowly move your body upward...
His line of sight rose... With only the last few inches to block him, he would see the situation at the top of the slope.
For Han Qingyu, this last inch felt like waiting for fate to reveal the answer.
Taking a deep breath and holding it, he finally moved.
Then, saw it.
……people at.
From the gap between the grass blades, Han Qingyu could clearly see: two people, with their backs to him, quietly lying side by side in the grass on the ground...
It was probably less than three meters away from him.
The two of them also carried energy devices on their backs, but the style was different from Lao Jian's. It was roughly like a black disk with an equilateral triangle embedded in it, and a metal belt extending from it.
It's just that the device doesn't seem to be starting up now, or is temporarily in a "fire off" or "sleep" state.
Their clothes seem to be a little different...
It doesn't matter anymore.
Han Qingyu endured the huge loss and deep fear of death, and also endured the trembling and weakness, preparing to retreat, get down, and then push the body and take a gamble.
He started to pull back...
At the moment when his eyes were about to fall below the soil surface... suddenly, he stopped for a moment.
At this moment, Han Qingyu's psychological changes are difficult to describe. It was probably like the process of a super frost freezing the lake surface rapidly, and in an instant there was an icy cold silence; or like a burning red iron sword inserted into the ice surface, sticking to the end.
Two seconds later.
Han Qingyu's body was already in the air, at a very low altitude, streaking forward like a sharp arrow.
The cone-shaped dagger with four health slots in the left hand.
The straight knife is held in reverse in the right hand, with the blade pressed against the forearm.
The two people lying on the ground quickly noticed a noise behind them, and the source energy device on their backs vibrated immediately.
Light flashes - light goes out.
Too late.
Two people - two bodies.
The back of one neck had been cut open with a straight knife, and the other had a cone-shaped dagger inserted into the back of his head.
The knife and dagger were still in Han Qingyu's hands.
Three hours ago, Lao Jian said to Han Qingyu in the car: "For example, I am almost ten years old. If you don't activate the device and you stab me, I will die."
