Chapter 35
The night was dark, the cold wind was howling, and the black sand city was frozen at an extremely fast speed, and all the battle traces during the day were covered with ice and snow.
All surviving mercenaries gathered in the makeshift base camp for repairs and heating, except for a few sentinel groups that were still patrolling outside.
This time, thanks to the rapid actions of Zero and Mosanwu, most of the mercenaries were saved and casualties were greatly reduced.
The temporary base camp is in an indoor shopping plaza. The ceiling and walls are made of transparent glass. The huge billboards have been rusted and dimmed, but the central open space is spacious enough for everyone to sit down and eat something to rest.
There were mercenaries wearing aprons, stirring something next to several large pots of portable induction cookers. The scorching steam made their faces flush red. Boiling white rice slurry was tumbling in the pot, and the aroma of carbs mixed with bacon came out.
"It's time for dinner!"
Everyone held the hot food in their bowls, and they were all grateful that they are still alive in the world today.
In an uninhabited street not far from the temporary base camp, the last mechanical tyrannosaurus screamed in the sky, revealing sorrow. Then it lowered its head, and the spines and scales from the neck to the back began to fall off a little bit.
After a while, footsteps sounded over there. A figure passed through the dark mist, and the leather boots stepped on the sparse snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Mo Sanwu was soaked with sweat, and in the extremely low outdoor temperature, the surface of his skin was emitting wisps of heat. The combat uniform on his body became extremely brittle due to the continuous high temperature, and it rustled into rags with his movements within a few steps.
The ragged clothes can't hide the body, and the broad back and strong chest can be easily seen when walking around. And the man didn't care about his embarrassment at all, just stared at the brightly lit house not far away and accelerated his pace.
Mo Sanwu can only cancel the Tyrannosaurus Mode after exhausting all the energy of the transformation. This time can be long or short, but this time it takes an extraordinarily long time, and the size of the transformation is unprecedentedly huge.
In the dark night, his blue-purple pupils were exceptionally bright.
When he reached the gate of the square, Mo Sang Wu's body temperature had dropped, and a thin layer of snow fell on his head and shoulders.
The mercenary guard who was on duty by the door was stunned when he saw him, but quickly reacted and handed over a new combat uniform jacket.
"Team Mo, everyone is inside."
Mo Sang Wu nodded and took it, and strode inside while putting on his clothes.
The warm air in the room made him narrow his eyes.
Without the coercion of life and death, the mercenaries relaxed, and in the messy place, he could see Zero at a glance.
The girl was sitting on a cardboard box, and the robot in front of her was squatting on the ground and talking to her. The two were familiar and intimate.
Especially with a smile on her face.
Mo Sangwu raised his foot and wanted to walk over, but Qin Shan stopped him.
"Team Mo, we caught five cultists outside the city gate, and found a small airship and related equipment in their hiding place. This attack was done by them.
" Alive?"
"They were still alive when they were caught, but they died later. They hid poison in their mouths."
"Heh." Mo Sanwu sneered, "I'm afraid that when they go back alive, the fate they will meet will be met. It's even more miserable. Being burned alive and poisoned to death, it seems that the latter is easier?"
As we all know, there will always be some black, twisted, shapeless scorched corpses left in places where the Mechanicus sect haunts.
Although the reasons given by the police are different each time, there are electric leakage fires, lightning fires, and dry fires, but the common point is the same. These deceased people are all fanatical mechanical gods, and they live in poverty and have no food.
For such a person, in the eyes of the Mechanic God Religion and the government, there is no difference between the death of one or two and the death of ten or a hundred.
Mo Sangwu stared at the two people not far away: "Don't worry about the corpse, remember to keep the evidence."
"Yes."
He took two steps and suddenly turned around: "Qin Shan, when the news is released, say I died in battle. "The
vice president showed a puzzled expression.
Mo Sang Wu ruffian laughed: "Let them be happy."
"Hiss!"
Zero sucked in a breath of cold air, frowning tightly. An Ling was giving her a pause when she took off her coat, "Does it hurt?"
She pulled out a smile that was even uglier than crying: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, you continue."
Having said that, seeing her pale lips, An Ling made her smile. She still tried to slow down as much as possible, and at the same time carefully avoided the wound on her arm, and took off the cotton jacket that was covered with blood, cobwebs, and dirty dirt.
Zero was wearing a V-neck close-fitting knitted sweater, and the black clothes exposed the girl's youthful body lines.
On her fair face and hands, the scratches on the glass were particularly abrupt.
An Ling opened the medicine box, paused for a while facing the pile of bandages and wound medicine, and finally bent down and touched her cheek very carefully with the pulp of her fingers.
"How did you do this?" There was pity reflected in his bright yellow eyes.
Zero was a little embarrassed when the man touched his face.
"It's all flesh wounds, don't worry, it will grow back soon."
The data in An Ling's pupils skyrocketed wildly for a moment, then quickly disappeared.
He lowered his eyes: "Zero, it
's all my fault." "It's none of your business. You were fighting against the giant spider at that time. I didn't notice the road conditions and the accident happened." Hearing her explain this, An Ling said nothing. He straightened up and went to get the contents of the medicine cabinet.
No matter the process, there will never be a next time.
A cotton swab dipped in ointment was placed on his face. Although An Ling's movements were very gentle, Zero was still baring his teeth in pain.
She turned her eyes and saw a figure striding forward through the shoulder of the person in front of her. He was walking fast and imposingly. It wasn't a Tyrannosaurus rex.
Zero raised his arms and waved: "Team Mo, you're back!!!"
... It's great that you can still see your human form!
Mo Sangwu was in a bad mood at first, and was even a little irritable. After hearing Zero shouting like this, he took a step, and the fire in his heart was extinguished for no reason.
He walked over to meet her expectant gaze, the eyes of the two met in mid-air, and Mo Sang did not curl his lips.
"Well, I'm back." The
girl heard the words with a big smile, with mottled scars on her cheeks, like a cat.
Mo Sangwu fought for a second in his heart, but he still couldn't hold back, and reached out and rubbed her head.
"Stupid or not, you've made yourself so embarrassed, just run away if you can't fight..."
He looked down, because the room was warm, and she didn't cover her tightly, and she could see the exposed neck from under her slightly longer hair. and a small piece of the chest.
Mo Sangwu's eyes were stabbed by the color, and he turned around abruptly, rudely tugging a piece of white cloth nearby that he didn't know what to do and wrapped it around her, his tone hurried.
"There are so many men in this room... I know I'm afraid of the cold and don't wear more clothes. What if I freeze to death! It's not a work injury!"
Zero was wrapped so that only his head was exposed, and he looked at him innocently.
"Captain Mo, it's not cold at all in the room..."
After a while, Mo Sangwu's head cooled down before he realized it. He looked at the white cloth: "What is this?"
A mercenary with a spatula next to him carefully probed over: "... President, can we return our apron?"
At this time, An Ling, who had been silent, suddenly moved, and he removed the white cloth from his body. He took it down and handed it to the mercenary chef: "Of course, it can be returned to the original owner."
After An Ling returned the apron, President Tyrannosaurus's face turned even darker.
Zero One couldn't hold back: Pfft.
In the next week, the mercenaries were divided into various routes, carefully cleaned up the corpses of the aberrants left in the Black Sand City, and burned all the threatening traces, including those secretly distorted spiders.
The energy source stone vein is in the desert not far from the urban area, where there is no vegetation at all, and the radiation level is higher than that of the abandoned city, and humans cannot stay for a long time.
So they just opened up the driving route to the mining area and left mechanical outposts every one kilometer.
At the same time, under the advice of the experts in the team, everyone planted trees along the way for a week before withdrawing, and successfully tanned again.
When the mission officially ended, everyone in the team was very happy.
Some of them have been separated from their families for several weeks, and some of them are looking forward to the upcoming high reward. Although the scenery of yellow sand is still the same, some people sing a melodious military song.
The rough and hoarse man's voice was not pleasant, but Ling leaned against the swaying wall of the car and fell asleep with the singing.
The mercenary sitting opposite her saw it and made a shush gesture. Everyone around nodded and stopped talking.
When he woke up, the military card had already returned to the Loess City Airport with the dust-ridden people. The returning airship was already preparing to set sail, and the waving signal flag was bright red.
Ling walked up the gangway behind An Ling, and was suddenly stopped.
She turned her head and saw that Mosanwu was like a still island in the crowd of people coming and going. He put one hand in his pocket, his body was straight and straight, and his beautiful eyes were hidden under the brim of his hat, but he was facing her direction, as if he was waiting for something.
Ling immediately put down his luggage and trotted over: "Captain Mo, what else is there to order?"
Mo Sangwu pursed his lips, tilted his head to avoid her too bright and candid eyes, and spread the palm of his right hand upwards.
Zero glanced at the calloused big hand in front of him, hesitated, and held it lightly.
The moment the palms touched, Mo Sangwu's face suddenly turned red, but he did not immediately withdraw his hand, but held it tightly before letting go.
"I'm asking, what's your terminal number!"
Zero tilted his head: "What are you doing?"
"You've already entered the Billboard 10,000. According to the rules, the headquarters will tailor-made weapons or equipment for you. What do you want? Like, I'll contact you when I'm done." Mo San said dryly.
Zero was shocked, how good is the service attitude of the general leader of the mercenary guild? !
She narrowed her eyes with a smile, revealing her white teeth: "I want a better mechanical leg, with pink fluorescent ones, thank you Mo Team!"
Mo Sang snorted softly, "Got it.
" People exchanged terminal numbers and became friends of the lying list.
"Woooooo~~~" The
floating airship began to whistle, urging the passengers who had not yet boarded to hurry up. Around him, mercenaries with luggage kept rushing past.
Mo Sangwu looked at the unconscious girl in front of him, suddenly took a step forward, and bent down to be level with her eyes.
"Team Mo?" Because the distance was too close, he subconsciously turned his head back.
The distance between the two was only one fist. He reached out and lowered the brim of her hat, his beautiful eyes blazing: "Zero, we will meet again."
At that moment, Zero smelled the familiar faint smell of tobacco on his body again, exactly the same as when he slept hugging each other in the cold factory that day.
By the time her consciousness returned, she had already returned to the gangway of the floating airship, and the ground of the airport was no longer traced.
Looking for the private room with the ticket, Zero was thinking about this all the way.
After a while, she finally understood.
"An Ling, An Ling, listen to me, Captain Mo seems to want to train me to become a confidant. Did he also find out that I am a martial arts prodigy? Speaking of which, it is not good for me to be the vice president at such a young age, look. Ling Tian is already in his forties..." The girl was so emotional, Balabala couldn't stop talking.
An Ling helped her carry the luggage, and his face was calm on the surface, but in fact, as a Bubble Bob watch, he could detect Zero's breathing, heartbeat, and pulse.
Therefore, he also knew how fast her heart was beating at a certain moment just now.
When I came, I was full of curiosity and full of confidence. When I went back, everyone just wanted to wash and sleep.
But the journey is like this, no matter how comfortable the carriage is, it cannot be properly trimmed.
When he was not far from the hut, Zero started sprinting: "Side, Dongdong, long time no see! I miss you so much!"
"Look, I brought you a specialty: Loess Diesel!"
Zero put down the things in his hand, He gave the mechanical butler and the mechanical corgi a big hug respectively.
An Ling stood at the door, looking at the warm picture of one person, one machine and one dog, with a soft smile on the corner of his mouth.
Sid patted the little master's back: "Zero, welcome home."
"The bath water is ready and the food is ready, let's change clothes first."
"I'm so tired, so tired. I I want to have a good night's sleep..." Zero rubbed her eyes, squinting, and fell onto the sofa.
She was already slanted, but before her butt was touching the sofa cushion, her waist was amputated in mid-air.
The whole person was hung on An Ling's arm, and he raised his head with zero doubt, and saw the serious profile of the man in front of him, as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Anling... What's wrong with you?"
The author has something to say: the
process is a single arrow, and the ending is 1v1, otherwise, it will be reported
to warmly welcome the next male guest to the stage.
Give the little angels a bottle of loess diesel
