Nanying Jane still clearly remembers the time when she first saw Yincheng.

A real man who looks a little wooden, but in fact has a cool and warm personality.

But at the beginning, Nanying Jian was not satisfied with this new partner, and even felt that he was a suffocating iron bump, which would only drag himself down.

But...... After a few contacts, Nanying Jane felt more and more that she had a problem with her vision.

Silver City.

Much more reliable and lovely than she imagined.

I still remember that once Nanying Jane and Yincheng were ordered to go to the old military factory to rescue a group of heterotypic cell collection experts, after fighting in the underground darkness for more than ten days, the first thing Yincheng who successfully completed the rescue mission did when he returned to the ground was to plant a small flower born in the dark under the green shade.

Look at the gentle movements of the big man with blood stains on the mechanical exoskeleton.

Nanying Jane didn't want to spit out a man for the first time......

Because this little flower originally belonged to a little girl who was an administrator on the bottom floor of the arsenal......

When the arsenal was invaded by xenomorphs, the little girl chose to trap herself in the management area in order to prevent the spread of the harmful substances at the bottom.

After a few years, when Nanying Jane and the others forcibly opened this door, the low temperature of minus 170 degrees still saved her at the moment of the end of her life.

And she kept her eyes fixed on the little flower in the thermostat.

……

"You like flowers?" Nanying Jane walked over and asked.

Yincheng carefully backfilled the soil, then took off the equipment pot, and poured some nutrient solution on Xiaohua.

"Well, my father, my grandfather, and my great-grandfather were all gardeners, and I grew up in a flower garden." Yincheng said and got up and clapped his hands.

Nanying Jian looked at Yincheng in surprise and said, "Why haven't I heard you talk about it?" ”

Yincheng smiled: "It's not a big deal, let's go, we have to go back to our lives." ”

Nanying Jian became interested, and she asked again: "Then how did you join the army later?" ”

Yincheng raised his hand and called the recovery pod, and then said: "Isn't this relatively big, tell people that I am a flower raiser, and people don't believe it." ”

Nanying Jane was stunned for a moment, and then popped into music.

That's true.

"What about you, you're from a military family?" Yincheng asked.

Nanying Jane shook her head: "No." ”

Yincheng: "Huh? I see you have a file on your file that you joined the army at the age of thirteen, huh? ”

Nanying Jane smiled bitterly and said, "That's because of my sister." ”

"Your sister? Ay? You don't have it on file. ”

Nanying glanced at Yincheng when she heard this, and said, "Do you also believe the things on the file?" ”

Yincheng smiled: "I'm a little surprised, you don't look like a sister with such a willful personality." ”

Nanying Jian was stunned when she heard this, and then said angrily: "Who is willful!" Yes? What do you say? Is it itchy? Think I can't beat you if you're wearing an iron block? ”

As he spoke, the little fist was raised.

Yincheng hurriedly begged for mercy.

At this point, the recovery pod landed.

Yincheng stepped forward to calibrate his identity, then opened the hatch and said, "Lady first." ”

Nanying Jane snorted and walked in with some smiles.

Secret service recovery pods are usually cramped.

Like the one used by Nanying Jane and Yincheng, this Angler Weng III is the smallest infantry recovery pod in the classic series. Compared to the standard type of six-seater, the type three can only accommodate three people.

But Yincheng is relatively large, and as soon as he comes in, he can only ride for two people.

After connecting the exoskeleton to the stabilization device of the recovery module, Yincheng entered the coordinates, and the recovery module began to rise slowly.

The shaking is relatively large at the beginning of the ascent.

Nanying Jane just took out a piece of chewing gum and wanted to throw it into her mouth, but she spilled all the contents of the box.

Yincheng looked at it and wanted to laugh, but was glared at by Nanying Jane

After the eyes, he immediately stopped smiling.

"Annoying! When I get back, I'll definitely apply for a more comfortable recovery pod! This is too shaky. ”

Yincheng closed his eyes, breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Then apply for the best, preferably with a massage ......"

"Massage? Hey! It's a great idea! Hey, what are you going to do when you go back? ”

"Me?" Yincheng opened his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Take a bath, get some sleep, and then train normally." ”

Nanying pouted when she heard this: "Cut, it's boring." ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"What do I ...... I'm sure I'll have to take a shower and sleep comfortably...... But when I wake up, I'm going to go shopping in Cerberus, buy some good food, and buy some nice clothes! ”

Yincheng: "Huh? Can I go to Cerberus without a mission? ”

Nanying glanced at him: "Nonsense, it's been a year since you came, and now this kind of thing is all acquiesced by the top!" ”

"Hmm...... That's something to consider. ”

Nanying Jian immediately said when she heard this: "What about it?" ”

Yincheng smacked his lips, and then said, "I want to buy some books, I'm afraid it will delay you." ”

Nanying Jane said, "No, I also like to read." ”

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Alright then, then I'll call you tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Hey! ”

While the two were talking, the recovery capsule had reached an altitude of more than 900 meters.

Fly up another kilometer or so to join the mothership.

However, it is not only the small recovery pod that rises in the morning sun...... There is also a flock of black birds...... They follow the recovery pod silently.

Wait until you reach a certain altitude.

……

"Bang Bang !!!!"

A series of impacts came and went.

Nanying Jane was taken aback: "What's wrong?" Enemy attack? ”

Yincheng didn't speak, and raised his hand to close Nan Yingjian's mask as the mask fell.

After completing the two actions, Yincheng followed and opened the defense measures of the recovery pod.

The Angler Weng III recovery pod is small in size, and its defense is only a pressure cannon that automatically seeks out the enemy.

This rate of fire is only 25 rounds per minute, and the power of a piezo cannon is not bad...... However, when faced with a large number of enemies, it is very powerless.

The black bird's desperate attack soon rendered the recovery pod untouched.

Yincheng's call for mothership support was also unanswered.

Nanying Jane was a little panicked, but her long-term combat literacy quickly calmed her down again.

She unfastened the stabilizer on her upper body, then drew her weapon and said, "Prepare for a crash landing!" ”

Yincheng nodded silently.

……

In the morning light, the recovery pod, which had just risen, was firmly grasped by a large black hand.

Then there was a "boom".

The recovery pod falls from the sky.

……

Three days later.

When the search and rescue team finds Yincheng and Nanying Jane.

The two of them were huddled in the corner of the ruins of a transport ship, snuggling up to each other for warmth.

The core energy has been depleted, and Yincheng's breath is faint and has gone into shock...... And Nanying Jane is almost intact...... It's just that the long battle has put her into a stupor......

……

I slept for a long, long time......

It was so long that when Nanying Jian opened her eyes, she couldn't tell that she was in the past at this moment...... Or are you still in the future......

The breeze was mixed with a hint of grass.

A few clouds drifted by in the sky.

Nanying Jian sat up, only to see that the field was empty all around, and only the area where she was could see the blue sky......

Where is this?

Nan Ying Jian checked all over her body.

Then determine the time you are at this moment.

Everything is a dream memory.

It's just that somehow it's so clear......

Even something that wasn't supposed to be in her memory was presented in its entirety.

"Hey!! Anyone?!! Nan Ying Jian shouted at the open space on all sides after reactivating the desperate situation.

However, no one responded.

In the drizzly and hazy world, it seems that only Nanying Jane is alone.

She struggled to remember what had happened before.

Some small images came to mind......

……

She remembers the scenes at school...... I remember the conversation between Ju Ziyao and Guan Chuyan in the library...... I also remember that spooky pool...... And also......

And that guy who seems to be Lin Sen.

Enemy......

Enemy?

It was clear that she was trapped at the last minute.

Why is there no injury on his body now, but he has appeared in a strange place again.

And that's not all.

Just when Nanying Jane was feeling depressed and confused.

A voice broke into Jane's mind......

Is that......

The sound of the sea crashing against the shore?

How close is it to the sea?

Nanying Jane could hear it clearly, and the voice came from behind her.

She hurriedly looked back, but she didn't see the sea, not even the end of the hazy drizzle.

Is it far away?

But why does it sound so close?

Nanying Jane decided to check it out.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, he tripped over something.

Han Kongwen was startled, and almost instinctively entered the fighting posture.

It's not like she's overreacting...... Because it stumbled where her stuff was, and before that was where she had been lying.

What is it?

Nanying Jian looked fixedly.

It was a cylindrical glassware.

Thirty-five centimeters in length, ten centimeters in diameter, and a silver metal lid of one centimeter at each end of the glassware.

The sound of the sea came from this glass jar.

But the jar was empty, and nothing could be seen at all.

Nanying Jane walked over and picked up the jar and held it in her hand.

The jar is very light to the hand, and although it is impossible to determine what specific material it is made of, Nanying Jian believes that in terms of weight alone, this thing is by no means made of glass and metal.

And just when Nanying looked at the glass jar carefully.

The sound of the "sea" in the jar became clearer and clearer...... At the same time, the jar, which had been empty, turned black, like a drop of thick ink dripping into a clear spring.

Just a dozen seconds of effort.

The jar was filled with a black unknown substance.

But Nanying Jane didn't feel that the jar had become heavier, it was even lighter than before.

This......

What the hell is this?

Han Kongwen moved closer curiously, and she turned the jar again and again, carefully trying to see something from the darkness.

But there was nothing but darkness before him, and nothing else...... And the sound of the "sea" is also far away.

Nanying said simply: "What is the use of this thing?" Do you want to lose it? ’

While he was hesitating, a gust of wind whistled in the distance.

Nanying Jane put down the jar and felt the breath in the wind.

It's the smell of blood......

Very strong ...... The smell of blood......

Never mind......

Let's take it with you, maybe it's useful.

Thinking of this, Nanying Jian put the jar behind her back, and then walked forward in the direction of the bloody qi.
