"I have confirmed that all integrated sports teams that can be contacted have withdrawn."
Thick clouds accumulated in the sky, covering up the brilliance of the sun. A lead-like gray covered the land and everyone's hearts. This slum has never been so quiet. The usual noises and shouts and the sound of tires scraping against the road have disappeared, as if the wind has stopped. Only silent footsteps are left, as people slowly walk out of the alley, quiet. Obediently mixed into a river, colorful, like a person's life. There are infected people and ordinary people in the crowd; there are disheveled homeless people with greasy hair and dirty faces, and there are also neatly dressed community workers - because of this riot, they lost the home they depended on for survival, in the crazy black shadow I found a glimmer of hope and came here to leave Longmen to seek new hope.
The barrier between the infected and the non-infected collapsed miraculously at this moment. They didn't even make a noise, they just slowly raised their feet and put them down again. Their eyes that lost their luster looked at the exit not far away, and their bodies were swaying, as if The soul has been lost. But no matter how bad life is, if your life is still there, you have to continue. Bitterness will end one day, and people must have hope.
A drop of water slowly flowed down from the crack in the wall, dripping into the small pool at the feet of the snow monster, creating a short and small ripple, just like those who were fleeing. The red ribbon on his chest is no longer bright, and it is covered with a light layer of dust. It must have not been washed for a long time.
"There are so many people."
The snow monsters stood in front of the window and looked at the flow of people slowly pouring in and out, sighing softly with a hint of exhaustion. They rushed to Longmen after the battle in the ruins of Qie City, and only rested for a few hours. After arriving at Longmen, the pressure still did not decrease, and maintaining order continued to consume their energy. But thankfully, they have long been accustomed to this fatigue.
At least, it's not cold here.
"Mighty, like a river."
A snow monster remembered the river he once saw in the snowfield. It was a large river that spanned the entire snowfield, and surging white waves could be seen downstream even in winter. The flow of people in front of me is like that big river. Although it is not so fast, it is still moving forward and cannot be stopped.
"A river will appear in the wasteland...a river of refugees. There will be Ursus people and Longmen people. There will be both infected people and ordinary people. When they come, they will be poor or rich, and when they leave, they will be empty-handed."
The snow monster named Big Bear bent down, folded his arms and put them on the window sill, tilted his head slightly out of the window, and watched the flow of people below move his lips slightly. The voice of the man who used to like to fight and scold Suka now has the unique sadness of Ursus people and the affection and bitterness of an adult man, which is extremely magnetic. If the snow monsters hadn't known all about it, those around him would have thought he was secretly drinking vodka again.
“They thought there was a place that would accept them, and now they know they have nowhere to go.”
"This river will eventually disappear from the wasteland."
"..."
The two snow monsters standing behind the big bear looked at each other, speechless.
[His tone is so sad. ]
One of the snow monsters blinked.
[Learned it from Big Daddy. ]
Another snow monster moved his facial muscles and pointed at the cloak on his body.
[No wonder. At this time, people will inevitably feel a little sentimental. ]
The rhetoric of the past has been shattered by reality, and hope has been extinguished before it could have ignited, and is almost impossible to rekindle. The soldiers of these integration movements, including the snow monsters, were confused.
Where else could they go?
"If Big Daddy were here, we would definitely win the fight, and we wouldn't have to go to this point, right?"
Needless to say, the strength of the Patriots. In the eyes of the snow monsters, Tallulah, who had undergone some changes, was no match for him.
But the Patriots weren't there.
"It's useless to think about another outcome when it comes to luck."
The snow monster lowered his head and sighed.
"...Get ready, I'll discuss it with the Phantom Crossbowmen."
He nudged his partner's shoulder and motioned for him to start with him. In the battle just now, the snow monsters have seen the strength of the black mouse. Before those guys reach the exit, the snow monsters can only have the ability to fight if they are fully prepared. It would be a lot easier if Froststar participated in this battle, but...
Their eldest sister's physical condition is not optimistic.
"Don't rush me, it's not like I don't know."
The snow monster shook its body and followed him, but stopped every three steps and still turned its head to look at the window with some nostalgia.
"Go quickly and stop the ink stains."
The snow monster walking in front turned around and patted his friend on the head, pointed in another direction and left. The beaten snow monster looked aggrieved. He raised his hand and grasped the furry edges of his hood and pursed his lips, like a little girl who had been bullied.
"Obviously I'm quite sentimental..."
--------dead end--------
"confirmed?"
In a building far away from the exit, Rhode Island's elite operator stood in front of the window, his blue eyes staring at the white in the distant window with a solemn expression.
"It's the Yeti Team."
A Guards operator wearing a Rhodes Island uniform stood behind her and nodded. The hood with a fluffy edge, the thick white cloak, the stab-proof clothing hidden under the cape and cloak, and the red ribbon hanging from the chest, every place illustrates the unique identity of these people.
No one but the Yeti Squad.
"Where are Amiya and the others?"
As the first team to enter the slums, the Blaze-4 team was the first to arrive near the location reported by Dr. Gavel, and established an observation point in a place with a good view that would not be discovered by the opponent, waiting for the arrival of follow-up troops. Although it was a bit far away, they could still see the distant scenery clearly. Judging from the appearance of the snow monster team opposite, they didn't even think about hiding themselves, they just stood there waiting for the enemy to arrive. There were people below maintaining order, and there were people above who were carelessly leaning on the window sills to watch the excitement. Others were walking around the buildings near the exits, setting up something, and it seemed they wanted to fight a tough battle.
"We have rushed to the scene. Amiya asked me to tell you, 'Don't be impulsive'."
He specially emphasized the last three words. However, as a member of the Blaze-4 team, he knew Huang's character very well, so it was probably useless no matter what Amiya said.
But I still have to say something, after all, it is a mission.
"..."
Huang looked at the snow monster next to the exit and gritted his teeth.
"It's as if she didn't say it. She knows it... and so do you. When it comes to impulsiveness, I'm number one in Rhode Island."
She bent down, picked up the large box beside her, swung it behind her, and fastened the buckle to her chest. After making sure that the equipment was fixed, Huang held on to the wall and jumped down, completely ignoring Amiya's advice.
"Huang! Where are you going!"
The operator looked at Huang running on the ground and shouted loudly, his head hurt a little. As a subordinate of the most enthusiastic elite operator, this is the unexpected situation he least likes to encounter.
His captain suddenly disappeared without even an order. They just stood there like fools.
"Go save people!"
Huang's figure has disappeared, only her somewhat impatient voice still echoes in the air.
————————Perhaps, this is life——————
It was rare that there was no rain in Longmen today.
Thick, iron-like, gloomy clouds floated above everyone's heads, as if they would fall down at any moment and smash the ground to pieces. The early spring wind mixed with cold water vapor blows on everyone's face. Even if winter has left, they can still feel the cold, as if winter has not left yet. The road outside the exit was very messy, with rubbish thrown everywhere. It looked as if a concert had just been held. It's just that the audience at this concert has already left the scene, but those "troublemakers" are still holding on.
Valentine and his group were not very fast and arrived at the meeting point only after Chen had arranged the scene. When they arrived here, the operators of the Guards Bureau had already set up their teams, and the other Rhode Island operators were quietly watching the black river confronting the Yeti team. A silent street divides the world into two sides. On one end is the snow monster team, which is as cold and dead as the snowfield and covered in white. On the other end are the Guards Bureau operators who are armed to the teeth and physically and mentally exhausted but still as fierce as fire. One is black and the other is white. During the silent confrontation, no one made any move during the period when no orders were given, and it was too quiet to be a battlefield.
Valentin raised his head and saw Amiya and Officer Chen who were protected by the guards of the Guard Bureau, as well as Noah who was wearing tight clothes and did not want to expose any skin to the sun. The distance was so far that he couldn't hear what the three people were saying, but he could guess that they were almost inseparable. Because of the exchange between the Yeti team and Rhode Island in Chicheng, as well as the conversation between the doctor and Frost Star, Rhode Island will not participate in this battle with the Yeti. They can take a break after a busy day.
Of course, it was after the black raincaps overhead were gone.
When Valentin first saw those black caps, he thought of the scene he saw in the sewer not long ago, the corpses piled up together. He wanted to go up and ask these guys why they did what they did. , but the pressure the other party brought to him and the fact that he had already guessed the answer made him stop. In the end, he just stared at those guys who looked like sculptures and clenched his fists, and then released them.
Everything is for Longmen.
They could silence Valentine with just one sentence, and the other party would most likely start fighting to teach him a lesson without even saying this. He couldn't forget the cold sweat that Valentine shed on the street at that time. The strength and cruelty of these guys were absolutely proportional. I'm afraid Xing Yihuang couldn't deal with any of them...
Perhaps, Xing Yihuang will have a chance after he fully reveals the spirit behind him. But for some reason, in the past two years or so, Valentin has never seen Xing Yihuang completely release the spirit behind him. The few times he saw it were just shadows hovering in the sky, and he could see through them. Seeing the sky and buildings behind it, the long black dragon was one level worse than the deep blue flying dragon he had released that could be touched and felt.
When he was in Rhine Life, he learned from Jiao Zhengyu that Xing Yihuang was only one step away from Jing Er. She could cross over at any time. So what was it that prevented Xing Yihuang from completely opening the door to becoming a god? The gate of the road is just left ajar, with no intention of pushing it open?
"If you want to know, just ask her yourself."
Jiao Zhengyu's voice was as sudden as thunder and lightning in the daytime, but Valentine had no intention of being frightened at all. He still stood there and looked at the three doctors in the distance.
"I asked her and she didn't say anything."
Valentin noticed this when they were in Chernobog, and he mentioned it when they were sitting on the roof chatting that day. As a result, Xing Yihuang stared blankly at the sky, and shook his head after a long time. .
From then on, Valentine paid no attention to the matter. Since people don’t want to talk, then don’t ask.
"It would be nice if there was some rain in Longmen today, just light rain, light rain."
Jiao Zhengyu stretched out his hand, and the brightness of the world covered by the spiritual space dropped a few points. Several thunder and lightning were swimming in the thick clouds, and soon there was a roaring sound in Valentine's ears.
It was far worse than the aura behind him when the spirit was angry.
"Why?"
He waved his hand, and the gloomy weather caused by Jiao Zhengyu disappeared instantly. This is his spiritual space after all. If Jiao Zhengyu can control it, so can he.
White light flashed in front of Valentine's eyes.
"Because rainy days bring out tragedy even more, the kind that can kill people."
Boom!
A bolt of thunder exploded in the sky, whether it was in the real world or in his mind.
The wind blew again, and the faint black layer disappeared together with Jiao Zhengyu. Ye Yan lay in Ansuo's arms and yawned, the witch hat on her head covering her eyes.
Someone seemed to be coming from the distance, glowing with a light golden light.
"Xiao Wa——!"
When Valentine was about to leave here and find a place to rest, an energetic voice penetrated his ears. In an instant, it seemed as if all the clouds in the sky disappeared, and the sun shone on the earth again. Valentine stood there, slowly turning his neck towards the source of the sound, his eyes widened, his lips slightly opened, his face full of surprise.
impossible……
He trembled his lips, looking at the girl running towards him in the distance, and his heart trembled suddenly.
Xing Yihuang stared at the fast-moving human-shaped light source, still expressionless as usual, but his heart hurt, just for a moment. In her eyes, the distance between Valentine and her was slowly being lengthened, and he slowly ran into the arms of the girl who was running over.
"wait……"
puff.
Raphael, who ran over, didn't give Valentin a chance to say anything more. He gave Valentin a bear hug and knocked the rest of his words into his stomach. He was a little too enthusiastic. Valentine staggered back a few steps, barely avoiding falling. He felt the warmth and softness of Raphael's body, with an awkward smile on his face, and the sadness that suddenly appeared in his heart turned into sweetness. Finally, he raised his arm and put it on the girl's back, following her closely. Hug each other.
"Well...I miss you so much~"
Raphael put his chin on Valentine's shoulder, shaking his head slightly, and the two people's cheeks rubbed together, causing the little dragon man's body temperature to rise several degrees. The wings behind her and the halo above her head were as dazzling as a light bulb due to her behavior at this moment, causing everyone around her to take a few steps back consciously to avoid eating too much dog food.
No one found this inappropriate. When the two embrace each other selflessly on the battlefield, onlookers will only feel happy or sad. They fight to protect these beautiful things, for this land, for those unknown people, and for themselves.
"Well...I miss you too."
Valentin, who had never been in love before, was still in the shock of being embraced by Raphael and could only dryly agree. As an otaku, he can be as cool as a love saint when playing Galgame, and he also has a lot of slutty words in his mind when writing. But when it comes to practice, our innocent virgin Valentin is nothing but blushing and dazed. Won't do it.
Maybe he could say something when facing Xing Yihuang, after all, the opponent might be shyer than him, but when faced with Raphael, who liked to punch hard when he had nothing to do, he could only huddle in the corner and get beaten.
What else can you say? Just enjoy it!
A group of Rhode Island operators were watching this touching reunion scene. Only the secret lock closest to the hero and heroine in the center of the stage looked confused as if he had seen a ghost. She lightly bumped Xing Yihuang's arm, her voice trembling.
"Sister Yihuang, your boyfriend was hugged by another woman..."
She had seen how hard Xing Yihuang's fist was, and she naturally guessed how tragic the fate of Valentine and the Sakota man would be in the next second.
However, Xing Yihuang's voice was extremely calm.
"I know."
? ? ?
Ansuo turned her head and stared at Xing Yihuang's face, trying to find even a little bit of anger in the other person's expression, but no matter how big her eyes were, Xing Yihuang still had a calm expression, as if An outsider who has seen through the world of mortals generally doesn't care at all about the possibility of being cheated on.
well.
Xing Yihuang sighed and explained a few words to Ansuo. He explained the relationship between the three of them in the shortest possible language, and successfully made Ansuo doubt people's feelings. The image of Valentine in her mind It also fell again, successfully evolving from the "scumbag" not long ago to the "iron scumbag".
…
Something seems wrong?
The small theater of Ansuo and Xing Yihuang did not attract Valentin's attention. At this moment, his soul was soaked in the warmth composed of holy light. His whole person was soft from the inside out, as paralyzed as a ball of slime. In Raphael's arms, I felt what could be called the best hug in the world. As for why Raphael appeared in Dragon Gate, he thought of the answer before he was so warm that he went insane: In the main plot, there were a total of eight teams sent by Rhode Island to Dragon Gate to perform tasks, and in the world where he existed There are ten teams in the line, which can be seen by their team name Long-10, so it is obvious that Rafael's team is the ninth team.
So who will lead the ninth team?
Valentin opened his eyes and looked at the Black Steel International people in the crowd, raising their hands on Raphael's back and waving gently. Razer nodded slightly towards him, with an imperceptible smile on his face. Franka stood behind Razer and hugged her waist like Raphael. However, her eyes were fixed on Valentine in the distance and she blinked. She stuck out her tongue and licked Razer like a nympho. The result was that he was hit with an elbow by the opponent until he squatted on the ground and could not get up again.
In some ways, this fat fox and Valentine have a really good compatibility. They both like to cause trouble, and their troubles always end badly...
However, the relaxed and happy atmosphere always lasted short-lived. An explosion drew the attention of everyone in Rhode Island from the embrace of a certain couple, and Valentin also released his embrace with Raphael. They turned their heads and looked behind them, and there was only a dark back in their field of vision.
The general offensive has begun, and the integration movement will completely withdraw from the dragon gate and never appear again.
