Black Chapter (8) The Old Man

"Chief, 'Ymir' they're back!" "Electric eel" said respectfully.

The woman raised her eyes looking at the table, and in the next second, she walked quickly to the "electric eel", "Excuse me, you can go back to your post." ”

"Yes!" The electric eel saluted and trotted out of the cave.

"'Ymir'." The woman paused and patted "Ymir" on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work, it's good that you can come back alive." ”

"It's a pity that less than ten people came back." "Yumir" choked up, this operation, the layout is so perfect, he can't figure out which link has an accident.

"Don't dwell on it, war, there will always be deaths." The woman said calmly, turned to Zero, and held out her right hand, "You're Zero, aren't you?" Thank you for your help. ”

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of convenience, your hand ......" Zero hesitated, but still took the woman's hand, which was not a slender, soft hand that a woman should have, but a cold, hard mechanical arm, the arm was painted white, making it look softer.

"An accident a few years ago." The woman's tone remained calm, "'Blood Wolf', the leader of 'Cold Fang'. ”

In front of a large computer, a man and a member of "Cold Tooth" explained a few words, walked briskly, shook a folding fan in his hand, and came to Zero, "Huh", the folding fan in the man's hand was closed, and Zero Luo shook hands, "'Ghost Fox', the boyfriend of 'Blood Wolf', and the military advisor of 'Cold Tooth'." By the way, Brother Ymir, I just intercepted a piece of information about why this plan failed. ”

"Tell me!" "Yumir" pushed Zero away and squeezed in front of Zhuge Fox, "Tell me! Something went wrong! ”

"The problem is, he's on him." Zhuge Fox pointed to the "starlight" with the folding fan in his hand.

Starlight was shocked, "Fox Boss, don't talk nonsense!" I won't betray my 'cold teeth' if I kill me!" ”

Zhuge Hu smiled and shook his head, "Look at what scared you, I didn't mean that you betrayed 'cold teeth', I mean, you are still not careful enough, this time it was someone in the bar that day who betrayed you, he recorded what you did and said in the bar, and sold it to the patrol." ”

"What? How so? Aren't we all human beings united against the invasion of the alien race? Starlight was pale and trembling, he didn't expect everyone to stand up heroically against the Empire, but at a time when the survival of the race was at stake, how could anyone betray their fellow citizens for the sake of temporary gain.

"This is war, this is human nature." Zero sneered disdainfully, as if not surprised, "There are fearless heroes, and there will be villains who live in secret, just like light and darkness, positive and negative, always interdependent." ”

"You don't seem to have a lot of experience, you don't think you're old?" Zhuge Fox asked tentatively.

"As a traveler, it's normal to have a lot of experiences." Zero said as a matter of course.

"Normal ......" Zhuge Hu shook the folding fan in his hand, "Brother 'Yumir', please arrange a comfortable room for our guests, don't neglect others." Zero, I hope you can stay here for a few more days, I'm very interested in your 'enriching' experience! ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey! I'd love to get to know the members of Nightwings, too! Zero readily agreed.

Hearing Zero mention "Night Wing", Catherine showed a somewhat complicated expression, Zhuge Fox didn't seem to have any fluctuations, and said very casually: "That's all a past that is not worth mentioning, but you, I'd love to know a few more, young and strong people like you." ”

"Young powerhouse?" Zero seemed to have a hint of self-deprecation, "If you don't mind, I want to go and rest first, I'm a little tired after a few days of messing with the 'Empire'." ”

'Of course!' Yumir's big brother, please arrange it, remember, give this brother the best treatment. Zhuge Hu instructed "Yumir" again.

"Yumir" patted his chest and said: "No problem, if you don't say it, I will give him the best, he is our savior." ”

"I said, I just can't get along with the 'Empire', saving you is just a convenient thing, don't take it to heart." Zero said disapprovingly.

"You're quite modest. Welcome again to 'Cold Teeth'. Zhuge Fox stretched out his friendly right hand.

"Let's just tell the truth." Ze Luo held Zhuge Fox's right hand, his movements were elegant, and the strength and speed control were extremely appropriate, as if he had been specially trained to shake hands with people, "Then, I'll go and rest first, Uncle Ymir, please lead the way." ”

"This way, 'Starlight', 'Phantom Curtain', you guys go back and rest! It's enough to choke these days! Ymir led the three young men out of the cave.

The heavy iron door of the cave closed with a "swish", Zhuge Hu walked quickly to the table in the center of the cave, pulled out a chair, sat down, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's too similar!" That guy looks too much like the boss! If it weren't for the fact that Brother Ymir had been vaccinated in advance, the moment I saw him, I would have pounced! Wolf, he's really not the boss? ”

"It's not!" Catherine shook her head affirmatively, "He doesn't have the aura of a 'sober person' at all, I'm sure he's either an ordinary person or a G-class 'sober'." ”

"G-rate? The G-class is a legend, if there are G-class 'sober people', how can the 'empire' rule the world in just a few years? Zhuge Fox snorted disdainfully.

"Fox, I know, you've been thinking about the captain, and in the past few years, we've occasionally received information about him, but it's all too scattered, how can we possibly find an X-class 'sober person' whose whereabouts are erratic? Besides, even if we find him, will he come back? Catherine sat down next to Zhuge Fox, and the other people at the table consciously moved away from the table and went about other things.

Zhuge Hu said in frustration: "I understand, he is uncomfortable, I just hope that one day, he can get through, just like the time you were caught, suddenly stood up and gave us a surprise." ”

"I believe that one day, he will come back, fate has chosen him, and he can't escape." Catherine said jokingly.

"When did you believe in fate?" Zhuge Hu pretended to be surprised.

"You're talking too much! I think you'd better go get some sleep! You haven't closed your eyes in days! Catherine's tone changed from hard to soft, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch Zhuge Fox's cheek, but when she got closer, she realized that it was the mechanical arm that she stretched out.

Catherine's hand stopped close to Zhuge Fox's cheek and was about to withdraw it, but Zhuge Fox grabbed her wrist and put the cold mechanical arm on his face, "Does it still hurt?" ”

Catherine shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore, you see, I haven't taken painkillers for more than a year." ”

"I don't mean your hands, I mean here." Zhuge Fox pointed to the location of Catherine's heart.

After being silent for a while, Catherine said coldly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, I don't blame him, but if we meet on the battlefield, I won't let him go!" ”

"I heard that he has also reached the S level, not by medicine, but by himself." Zhuge Fox leaned back in his chair and worried, "Another tricky enemy!" ”

"What I care about is that the weapon he has, according to intelligence, is a huge threat." Catherine thought about the day she lost an arm and a family member on the plane.

"Yes! If you run into it on the battlefield, it's a nuisance. However, no matter how troublesome it is, Sima Luming, I will also settle this account with you! Thinking of that day, on the plane, Sima Luming's cold face, and his unhesitating to cut off Catherine's arm in exchange for the trust of the "empire", Zhuge Fox hated the roots of his teeth.

"Fox, don't worry too much, I'm sure he will have a reason for doing this." Catherine is as calm as ever, but Zhuge Hu knows very well that Sima Luming's betrayal, Catherine is the most hurt, not the physical injury, but the heart, lonely for many years, finally has an existence that can be used as a "home", but was ruthlessly betrayed by her family, this wound in her heart, tormented Catherine, often woke her up in her sleep.

"his reason! One day, Lao Tzu will break his hands and feet to pay back! Zhuge Fox didn't feel angry, he slapped the table excitedly, and stood up suddenly, attracting the attention of everyone in the cave.

"Look at you, the anger is so big, why don't you go and rest!" Catherine reprimanded gently.

Facing the eyes of everyone in the cave, Zhuge Hu coughed dryly and put on a condescending posture, "Have you seen enough?" Is it very leisurely one by one? Don't hurry up yet! This mission has failed, we have to hurry to find the next opportunity, and we don't have much time left! ”

Catherine laughed and shouted, "Pretend! Hurry up and go to bed! ”

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go!" Zhuge Fox reluctantly walked to the iron gate of the cave, and when he came to the iron gate, he turned around and asked, Wolf! You say, should I go all over? It seems that the guys with similar faces are very powerful! ”

"Think too much! Even if you're done, you're still a stinky fox! Catherine smiled angrily, in fact, she is a cold person in her bones, but with Zhuge Fox, she can always forget the pain and troubles, and laugh easily, she enjoys this state very much, which is also what she wants to protect the most now.

In the dark night sky, a beige full moon was exceptionally bright, but strangely, there was not a single star in the night sky, only vague outlines, tumbling black clouds.

"The night without stars is really lonely." Sitting on the half-man-high wall on the side of the rooftop, looking at the night sky in the distance, Zero sighed.

"Get used to it, in a few years, maybe the moon will be gone." The Electric Eel stood to the right of Zero, with his back against the vine-covered wall. For several years, the gray clouds left behind by the "Empire" launched a dimensional invasion have not completely dispersed, especially at night, without the drive of the blazing sun, the gray clouds have gathered together, obscuring the stars in the sky, and only the moon has narrowly escaped.

"Is there only the moon's night sky?" Zero looked at the moon, and there seemed to be a special meaning in his words, "'Electric Eel', I'm curious, this forest of the afterlife, there are many demonic beasts, and there are some powerful guys among them, how do you manage to enter and exit safely?" ”

"It's not completely safe." Zero's topic jumped from the night sky to the forest, and the "electric eel" almost didn't react, "We have set up several safe passages in this forest, and the monsters usually avoid the people in the passages, but there are occasional exceptions, in the past two weeks, a few days ago, our patrol team lost two members. ”

"Safe passage? I can't see it, you're pretty good! And such a strong defense can be laid. Zero was amazed, to be able to be in such a corner of the forest, the strength of "Cold Tooth" is not simple!

"It's not that we're powerful, it's the leader of the 'Blood Wolf' who is powerful, and the safe passage is all arranged by her, and we don't know how she did it, maybe she used magic." A few years ago, "electric eels" would certainly not say the same, but now, times are different, and "magic" is no longer a legendary existence. And "Blood Wolf", as a member of "Nightwing", has mastered magic, which is a very normal thing in the eyes of "Electric Eel".

"It's not just a safe passage." "Starlight" suddenly appeared out of thin air and stood on the wall, startling the "electric eel".

Ignoring the resentful white eyes of the "Electric Eel", he shook his bright red dagger in his hand, "Bullets, daggers, etc., the dragon slaying weapons we have are also made by the leader of the 'Blood Wolf'. ”

"Can you lend me a look?" Zero became interested in the dagger of "Starlight".

Starlight happily handed the dagger to Zero, "Of course! ”

This is a very ordinary-looking military dagger, and the material is not special to the touch, if you want to say that the special thing is that the entire dagger, including the blade, is bright red, which is very similar to Zero's own strange-shaped sword.

"It's a pity, the material is a little ordinary, but it's still a good weapon." Zero solemnly returned the dagger to Starlight, "Cherish it, this weapon is the brainchild of your leader. ”

Starlight put away her dagger like a treasure, "I don't need to say it, I will too!" But, Zero, listen to you, do you see how this dagger is made? ”

Zero shook his head and said, "It's just speculation, I'm not sure." ”

"Tell me about it! Maybe you guessed right? Taught us that we can also help the leaders share some of the work. Starlight urged Zero to speak his guess.

"You want to learn?" Looking at the "Starlight" and "Electric Eel" who were looking forward to his answer, Zelo was helpless and amused, "Even if I say it, you can't learn it, this kind of weapon, only your 'blood wolf' leader has the ability to make it, what you have to do is to cherish and use it." ”

Starlight flicked his index finger, "Cut!" Not righteous enough! I don't even say anything about treating you as a brother. ”

"Hahaha!" Zero laughed, "If you want me to be a brother, don't embarrass me, no matter how much you ask, I won't say it." ”

"That's it! You're so pushing, is it funny? At this moment, the "phantom curtain" ran onto the rooftop, panting and scolding.
