Elena sat on the ground leaning against the wall under the window, her chest rising and falling. She put the sniper rifle in her arms aside, closed her eyes and breathed heavily.
After Ryan didn't make a sound for a long time, she knew that the captain had accepted her advice and given up on herself.
sad? disappointment?
No.
After Elena became a wasteland walker, she already knew that the fate of most wasteland walkers was like this.
Die accidentally in the wilderness, or die from injuries in battle.
For wasteland walkers, this is a normal thing.
What's more, the request to retreat was made by Elena herself.
panic? fear?
nor.
For Elena, who grew up in an orphanage until she was adopted by Ivan, fear had always been with her when she witnessed her mother being raped and murdered.
She's used to it.
In Elena's mind, she suddenly remembered what her mother looked like before she died.
Being choked by someone, her face flushed, even if she was about to die, she still looked at her with a smile, comforting little Elena who was hiding not to make a sound.
What kind of face is that?
It has been so long that Elena can no longer remember clearly.
The only thing she remembered was the dilated pupils that looked at her closely after her mother's death, and the trace of undried tears under the corner of her eyes.
Slowly exhaling, Elena opened her eyes, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes, and pulled out a Glock from the side of her thigh.
When I was a child, I heard my mother say that kind people will meet in heaven after death.
Mother is such a good person, she must be there, right?
Will she still recognize me after I go?
Elena held the pistol, pulled the bolt and loaded it, with a smile on her lips.
Probably so.
Although so many years have passed, I have grown up a lot and my appearance has also changed.
But where is the mother who cannot recognize her child?
Thinking of this, Elena chuckled.
It's better to think about it, if you kill so many people, you might go to hell.
She raised her pistol and pointed it at the door.
Surrender is just a lie told to those few people to let them leave quickly.
She never had any intention of surrendering.
The mother's ending was to be helpless and at the mercy of others, and finally died.
Elena doesn't want the same ending for herself.
The Glock magazine contains a total of seventeen bullets. Except for the last one left for herself, Elena still has sixteen chances to pull the trigger.
Elena adjusted her breathing and waited for the last moment to come.
Ivan and the others should have left the city by now, right?
Elena looked at the door and suddenly remembered the members of the Akainu team.
To be honest, even though she was about to die due to the mission, Elena really felt lucky to be able to join the Akainu team.
His adoptive father, Ivan, is a veteran who looks tall, strong, and a little scary, but he is actually the kindest person at heart.
And the captain, a former soldier from a racially discriminatory country, said every day that Wasteland Walkers should be ruthless and focus on their own interests.
But when things really happen, Ryan always thinks like a soldier with a sense of honor and takes good care of his team members, which is completely different from what he says.
And Rock, the mean-mouthed Rock calls himself a "cyborg girl" every day and has a very poor education. But he was born in the streets and was full of loyalty, and he was always filled with indignation when he saw injustice. All in all, he can be considered a good person.
Oh, by the way, there is also Yang Jie.
Yang Jie, who is always very kind but sometimes looks silly.
Elena recalled the night when she first returned to Old Port, and thought it was particularly funny when she thought of Yang Jie staring at her adapter in a daze, and then looking a little embarrassed.
Quite an interesting person.
It's a pity that I won't see you again.
"osprey."
Just as he was thinking this, Yang Jie's voice suddenly came from the earphones:
"Stay still on the second floor while I go up to rescue you."
Elena was stunned by this dramatic turn, then quickly pressed the throat microphone and asked anxiously:
"Wrench? Why are you back?!"
"Ha! Mechanical girl!
How about it, you didn’t expect it? The brothers are back! "
Yang Jie didn't reply, and was replaced by Luo Ke's voice:
"Were you crying up there just now and were you ready to commit suicide?"
Before Elena could reply, she heard Yang Jie downstairs suddenly yelling something, and then the familiar sound of machine gunfire sounded outside, followed by the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, accompanied by breathing footsteps.
The footsteps stopped, and Elena saw Yang Jie standing at the door, holding his knees and panting.
Seeing Yang Jie standing at the door without any defense, Elena couldn't help but became anxious and shouted:
"Be careful! There are snipers!"
But Yang Jie just waved his hand, took a few breaths, and walked quickly to Elena without any bullets.
"Wrench, you..."
"Cut the nonsense!"
Yang Jie's headache became more and more intense. The situation was urgent and he was tortured by the headache. He spoke a little irritably and urgently:
"That person can't threaten us for the time being, so hurry up and leave!"
Elena listened to Yang Jie's confused explanation, and then was stirred up by Yang Jie.
Elena's ribs were broken. Yang Jie remembered that people with broken ribs could not carry their backs, so he put Elena's arm on his shoulders and helped Elena stumble down the second floor.
"How did you deal with that sniper?"
Elena asked while coughing while going downstairs.
"Use drones."
"Drone?"
Elena looked at Yang Jie confused. She remembered that Yang Jie's drone had already dropped grenades. How could it...
"It's not for dropping bombs."
Yang Jie shook his head, pointed to the remote control that was thrown in the corner, and the display still said "NO SIGNAL", and explained:
"Just knock him down with the drone."
Using a drone? Smash?
After hearing Yang Jie's explanation, Elena suddenly felt indescribably happy for some reason.
"Pfft"
Elena couldn't hold it back any longer and burst out laughing. She leaned against Yang Jie's body and trembled. Then the wound on her lungs was affected and she couldn't help coughing twice.
"How can you still laugh after being hurt like this?"
Hearing Elena's laughter, Yang Jie couldn't help but complain.
"it's okay no problem."
Perhaps because of the injury, Elena's voice no longer sounded so cold, but instead sounded soft and waxy like a girl:
"What's your idea?"
"Um."
Yang Jie frowned and looked at Elena with some confusion. Seeing that the girl's face was pale, but there was a smile on her face, he couldn't help but sigh and said somewhat speechlessly:
"What's so funny about this?"
"I have no idea."
Elena leaned on Yang Jie's shoulder, tilted her head slightly and thought for a while, then she couldn't help but laugh and said:
“But I just want to laugh.
I really, really want to. "
"Tsk.
Laugh if you want to. "
Elena laughed louder when she heard that Yang Jie seemed a little depressed.
Yang Jie felt that there might be something wrong with this girl. She almost died here, but she could still laugh so happily over such a trivial matter.
"Ahem."
After coughing twice, Elena finally stopped laughing.
She lay next to Yang Jie's ear, her warm breath gently caressing Yang Jie's auricle:
"Thank you, Wrench."
The scene in front of him became increasingly blurry. Yang Jie shook his head and said nothing. He bit the tip of his tongue to stimulate himself and took Elena to the off-road vehicle.
"Bear, retreat!"
Rock and Ryan stopped shooting randomly at the garrison and got on the off-road vehicle one after another. Ivan immediately put down the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed out of the town.
"How about the mechanical girl, isn't she dead?"
Rock started to bad mouth Elena when he got in the car.
But this time, Elena surprisingly didn't react at all. She just looked blankly at Yang Jie sitting next to her.
Sensing something strange about Elena, Yang Jie turned around and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Wrench, your nose..."
Before Elena finished speaking, Yang Jie suddenly felt a little warmth under his nose.
When he reached out and touched it, his vision suddenly began to blur.
In the confusion, Yang Jie vaguely saw some bright red color on his index finger.
Is there such a side effect after using QuanZhen simulation too much?
This was Yang Jie's last thought before he lost consciousness.
"Wrench! Wrench!
can you hear me? "
"Yang Jie!"
