In the mountains, there is a dark night and no moon. The slopes are high, but the mountains in the distance are even higher.
The wind blew from the darkness, and the lush summer grass blades hit my face and body. The grass seeds have awns, which are a little bit piercing. The red soil that has been exposed to the sun for a day is still warm, and the stones under the body are a little bit irritating.
The cone-shaped stabbing dagger with four blood grooves carved on it was pulled out, and the blood on the blade quickly slipped away, and the last drop of blood was quickly drained away.
Han Qingyu is now lying in the grass on the top of the slope, next to the two corpses.
Looking back at the moment just now, when the thought came up in my heart... there was almost no gap or even connection between making up my mind and starting to take action.
He didn't dare to allow himself space to think and hesitate, fearing that if he hesitated, he would lose courage.
So, at that moment, think and act. Han Qingyu used the power of the dagger inserted into the ground. While leaping forward, he drew the dagger and struck it horizontally...
The results are already in sight.
In fact, as long as his previous killing was delayed for even half a second, the source energy device on the opponent's body would be activated... and he should be the one lying on the ground now.
One thing is undeniable. Lao Jian's previous chat in the car played a crucial role in the whole process. Perhaps Lao Jian himself never thought of this...
In the story, the teller has no intention, and the listener kills.
Then there is the power of source energy.
One drop, two drops, Han Qingyu holds a blue crystal source energy block in his hand, and the warm source energy flows from the palm of his hand into his body, the third drop, the fourth drop...
Gone, empty again. Very few.
"Also, it shouldn't be like this. What if I go to the army in the future and get it like this and absorb it all?"
After thinking about it, he turned around and opened the metal box of the remaining man.
The third piece was the last piece. He had just searched the body, and there was no spare source energy block on the body.
Han Qingyu held his breath, focused on perception, and began to try to control...
One drop...stop, stopped.
Han Qingyu could clearly feel that there was still a drop of source energy flowing towards him in the blue crystal, but he deliberately controlled it and controlled it, which made him a little happy.
Then, he tried to see if he could send the source energy back into the blue crystal, but he failed.
After a brief thought, Han Qingyu decisively gave up the last drop of source energy.
He put the blue crystal back into the metal box of the two corpses without touching anything else. He came down from the slope, returned the knife and dagger to the dead warrior, and closed the box that he had opened before.
After doing this, Han Qingyu found another mountain stream, cleaned his hands and body, and then ran to another hill in the distance.
I found a new pit and continued to lie down.
Everything returned to calm in the darkness. Only then did Han Qingyu finally realize one thing clearly: I killed someone.
Well, you have to get used to it.
"...Because I want to survive." Then he began to quietly and carefully feel the source energy in his body.
Counting from the time Han Qingyu decided to climb up the slope to take a look, less than twenty minutes had passed.
…………
Another ten minutes later.
Han Qingyu finally heard the sound of people passing by the valley entrance in the distance. But he remained silent.
"Boy Han, where are you? Where are you? Come out."
Lao Jian came back alive and shouted this several times along the valley before Han Qingyu emerged from a hillside at the end of the valley.
"Gone," he said.
Han Qingyu jumped down and asked, "Did you win?"
"Well, most of the 764 team is here."
Lao Jian nodded and walked in front silently after speaking... The battle he had just experienced, regardless of its brutality and the number of casualties, was rare in his ten years of fighting career.
When Han Qingyu saw this, he stopped talking and followed in silence.
He didn't tell Lao Jian what happened just now because of three considerations:
First, he hasn't figured out how to explain why he was able to kill those two people; second, he "ate" two blue crystal source energy blocks; third, in the unlikely event that he was successful, he judged the enemy and ourselves wrongly. Already...
…………
On the way down the mountain, Lao Jian suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, raised his hand to wipe it, turned around and smiled at Han Qingyu easily, and said, "It's a small matter."
Then, he spit out a second mouthful... a third mouthful...
Blood everywhere.
Lao Jian pushed his knees hard with both hands, stood up unsteadily, waved his hands and said, "I'm fine."
Han Qingyu: "..."
"I'm the captain. I can't embarrass 752 when the three teams are present," Lao Jian continued to explain.
After speaking, he straightened up and walked down the mountain.
Until the two of them returned to the jeep, Lao Jian held the door handle and was silent for a few seconds. Then she turned to look at Han Qingyu and said with some embarrassment: "I may not be able to take you back... I, it seems, I have to first Go to the medical center."
Han Qingyu looked at his pale face and said, "Yeah."
"Are you okay with yourself?"
"No problem, I'm a kid from the mountains."
"Well, then please be safe on the road."
"good."
When Han Qingyu picked up his bicycle from the back of the car, Lao Jian's communicator received a call.
The person opposite told him a situation: traces of "purge faction" activities were found near the reserve station, and everyone was asked to be careful on the way back.
then,
"Wait a moment."
When Han Qingyu was about to ride away first, Lao Jian shouted behind him and then chased him on the road.
"How about you go to the medical point with me first? Anyway, you will join us soon... I will take care of the recovery and then send you back." He seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying.
Han Qingyu shook his head, "My parents will be waiting for me to have dinner. It's so late, they must be very anxious."
Lao Jian looked a little embarrassed.
"Starting tomorrow, I may not be able to go home for dinner for a long time." Han Qingyu said again.
Lao Jian tilted his head and was silent for a while before turning back.
"Okay, then if you do this, just ride on your own, don't stop along the way, and don't yell." He paused, took out an epaulette from his pocket, and handed it to Han Qingyu, "If you are wearing If someone stops you with the same clothes and equipment as I did that night, you can show them this.”
There was a silver star embedded on Lao Jian's epaulette. Han Qingyu took it and nodded, "Yes."
"Now, take a closer look at my equipment..." Lao Jian held the disarmed device in his hand and told Han Qingyu: "As long as the style of the person's equipment is slightly different from mine, you will be in trouble after being discovered. Don’t reveal anything...just act stupid, pretend you don’t know anything and don’t know anything, okay?”
Han Qingyu nodded again, observed carefully for a while, then looked away and looked at Lao Jian.
Lao Jian: "Okay?"
Han Qingyu: "Okay."
"That……"
"Who are those people?" Han Qingyu finally couldn't hold back and asked.
From Lao Jian's words, he could deduce: There is indeed another group of people, and they also have source energy devices, but they are enemies... those two on the slope, probably.
This made Han Qingyu feel a lot more relaxed, but he still chose not to talk about that matter.
Lao Jian hesitated for a moment, her tone was a little low, and she replied: "They are some people who think that human beings are ugly and should be destroyed... Of course, maybe only their higher-ups really think so... As for the people below, most of them are just blindly following Just venting."
"...Oh." Han Qingyu found it hard to understand why the kind of person Lao Jian mentioned existed, so he didn't say much.
"It should be fine... Just treat yourself as an ordinary person." Lao Jian finally confessed. He had figured out that in fact, now that he was traveling with Han Qingyu, it might bring greater danger.
Han Qingyu: "Okay."
On the winding mountain road, the two of them walked separately.
…………
Just when Lao Jian and Han Qingyu were walking on the road respectively.
Azure Alliance Army, 700 Area Hidden Reserve Station.
The soldiers who had just experienced a bloody battle still had no time to clean up or even dispose of the bodies of their dead comrades.
The preliminary investigation has just been completed, and the team members assigned are reporting back information.
"Xiao Wu, he is dead... his body was found on the edge of the valley."
"...Hmm. Xiao Wu is responsible for staying behind and patrolling the outside today, right?"
"Yes. Then, the two Purge sect members who killed Xiao Wu also died. They died on the top of a dirt slope very close to each other."
"Oh?...Did they die together?"
"No, judging from the battlefield marks, they were killed by others after killing Xiao Wu, and died in a sneak attack from behind."
"Someone else, who?"
"I don't know, but it's definitely not one of ours... Let me talk about another thing first. This may be more important... We found something next to the two Aurge people." The speaker took out something Put something on the table, "This should be a detonator."
"That's right, we just discovered the high-explosive mine formation on... our way back later." Another group of people spoke.
There was a collective silence in the conference room.
Until the deputy webmaster, who was said to be a military writer, broke the silence and said slowly: "It turns out that we are all surviving."
Still no one said anything, but everyone present was imagining the scene - they had just walked through a high-explosive mine array in their weakest state, and they were just ambushing the person waiting to press the detonator and were killed.
The logic of what happened is actually very obvious:
Two shuttle-shaped aircraft landed at the same time, and the reserve station garrison team attacked and came to the nearby area for reinforcements; the Purge personnel who got the news from unknown sources were secretly waiting for an opportunity, preparing to use high-explosive thunder arrays to kill everyone on their way back after disarming their equipment after a bitter battle. , and then capture the reserve station.
They successfully deployed a remote-controlled high-explosive thunder array, killed the patrolling soldiers, and waited in ambush on the slope...and then were killed.
After a while, the head of the reserve station stood up:
"To put it another way, someone just single-handedly saved 63 Blue Alliance soldiers, including us, as well as the 700 regional hidden reserve station. All the source energy and material reserves here, as well as all 22 non- Combat staff.”
