Chapter 45

Bullets and laser guns kept pressing closer and closer with a noisy sound. With a "boom", a door panel came down, and the laser gun wiped out the sea snake's back to black.

　The sea snake held the bird boy with one hand, grabbed the emergency passage railing with one hand, jumped directly, but before it was over, another group of pursuers came towards him. The leader raised his gun high and pointed it directly at his chest. The sea snake suddenly threw out the metal bedpost he was carrying, and at the same time rolled the bird boy on the ground in embarrassment.

　The smell of rubber, metal, gun smoke, blood... filled the tip of his nose, and his body, which had not yet recovered, seemed to be at the end of its strength.

　At this moment, the bird boy suddenly struggled and flew out of his hand, slamming into the wall on one side.

　There was originally an oil painting hanging on the wall, depicting a young woman with quite classical beauty. The young woman's red lips were slightly parted and she was smiling. With the desperate collision of the bird boy, the young woman in the painting was completely sunken from her lower lip to her chest. The wall A dark secret passage was revealed!

　The beautiful young woman lost her lower lip for no reason, and her expression looked particularly shocked, as if she was about to stand up from the painting and curse in the next second.

　The bird boy stuck his head out and screamed at the sea snake, which sounded like a thrush.

　The sea snake was stunned for a moment, and then got in without thinking.

　The face of Yuan Yiren, who had been monitoring them, suddenly changed.

　None of the pirates chasing the two men knew that there was a secret passage in the heavy armor. They looked at each other for a while and were about to start chasing them when they suddenly heard Yuan Yiren's cold voice.

　"That's enough." Their boss said coldly, "Are you dizzy? Everyone is going to be beaten to death by you. Who can lead the way? Get out!"

　The bird boy pulled Lin Jingheng all the way and ran stumblingly along the secret road. We were almost at the end, and the dark corridor in front of us was very familiar. Lin Jingheng lowered her head, tore off a piece of cloth from her shirt, and tied it hastily around the wound a few times to prevent it from being rubbed repeatedly by the coat. Then she realized that this was the place in the video. Secret laboratory of records.

　Under the pale light, rows of nutrition cabins were inhabited by creatures that were neither human nor strange. Some were still awake, looking numbly at the two uninvited guests through the transparent glass, as if they had no souls. Lin Jingheng looked around for a few times, and the bird boy immediately stretched out his arms and stood up on tiptoes, trying to cover his eyes with his deformed hands, while desperately pulling his clothes forward.

　Lin Jingheng gave him a playful look.

　Yuan Yiren is eager to show his perverted side. This is certain. Every pervert will be complacent about his evil deeds. If he cannot show it to others, at least half of the pleasure of his evil deeds will be lost.

　However, he was worried about Prince Gloria, so Yuan Yiren did not dare to show his secret pet publicly, otherwise he would not be shocked when Lin Jingheng pointed out that he bought the beauty snake on the black market. But this almost bird-like boy is different. Apart from being unable to speak and having strange bone shapes, he is so much like a human being that he can survive completely without relying on any medical equipment. He will not evoke any associations with "transplant people", even if you see him The peculiarity about him is probably that he is a deformed child who has been exposed to some kind of radiation.

　That's why this young bird was taken out to be "free range".

　Lin Jingheng was not a biochemistry expert, and Zhan Lu was not around, so he could not check the information. He did not know how the seamless transplantation technology on this bird boy was achieved.

　But he knew that publicly exposing Yuan Yiren's secret path in front of everyone was definitely not the result of Yuan Yiren's instructions.

　So who is he? Is there any purpose?

　Bird Boy led Lin Jingheng through the inhumane laboratory in a familiar manner, turned countless corners, and opened a narrow and hidden door. There were many pipes inside, which should be the exhaust pipes of the laboratory. Bird Boy jumped in and jumped in again. Demonstrating his ability to be close to "flying", he glided lightly in the air more than three meters high, and nimbly climbed up a pipe, as if he was hanging an invisible wire.

　He flew up by himself, then remembered that there was a man without wings following behind him. He quickly looked back and saw the man climbing up the pipe with his bare hands in the blink of an eye.

　The higher they climbed, the darker the environment became. Neither of them had a light source. Halfway through, they began to walk blindly. The bird boy was a little worried. He was familiar with the road, and he was afraid that the people behind him would not be able to keep up, so he called out "chirp".

　"Sea Snake" said behind him: "Keep going, I can hear your voice and I can track you."

　Maybe it's the darkness that creates fear, maybe it's because Admiral Lin's dialogue skills are not up to par, and the bird boy can't see anything . Next, after hearing this voice, I felt an inexplicable chill creeping up my back, and I suddenly felt an unspeakable fear of the man behind me.

　He quickly tried to calm down and continued to climb up, but there was no sound behind him. Several times, the bird boy suspected that the man had lost track of him, so he couldn't help but ask, but the "sea snake" kept coming every time. They would all give answers three or four meters away from him.

　Like a snake following you in the dark.

　This thought came to the young bird's mind and he shuddered slightly. His palms were covered with sweat and he almost slipped down the pipe until he saw a faint light in front of him. He quickly looked back and saw " The sea snake's still pale and delicate face did not turn into any other monster. He was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

　The bird boy pointed to the top of his head. The source of the dim light was a gap, probably a crack in the ground, which was blocked by several containers. The gap was very narrow and it was difficult for an adult man to pass through. Lin Jingheng made a visual inspection, not to mention that he was now skin and bones, even if the skin was peeled off, he would still be stuck there with only a pair of bones left.

　Bird boy: "Chirp."

　"That's terrible," Lin Jingheng shook her head, "Did you make this crack? How long have you been doing it, do you want to escape?"

　Bird boy chirped in answer, talking like a bird. Lin Jingheng didn't understand a word: "Forget it, you go up first and try to push those boxes away."

　The bird boy was silent for a while, and indescribable sadness flashed in his round and big eyes. Because from this conversation, which was like talking between a chicken and a duck, he realized his inhumanity.

　He stopped talking nonsense, shrank his shoulders, slipped out of the narrow gap with his thin body, and started pushing the box back.

　At this moment, Lin Jingheng suddenly felt the vibration on the ground above his head. He suddenly pulled out the laser gun and used the barrel of the gun to push the bird boy's legs: "Get out of the way."

　The bird boy was staggered by the barrel of his gun, and then , the laser gun passed him by, and shot dead the pirate who was chasing him from behind. However, this was not over yet. Lin Jingheng fired six shots in a row while completely invisible, one shot at a time, and none of them missed.

　The bird boy rolled and crawled to the ground, used his head to open the containers that were in the way, and reached out to pull Lin Jingheng. Before it touched the man's wrist, the laser gun in the crack in the ground fired again. The bird boy was startled and subconsciously leaned back. Hot and smelly blood poured down from his head, covering him. His head covered his face, and then, a pirate's body crashed down next to him.

　The bird boy was so frightened that he froze there, but while he was stunned, Lin Jingheng forced himself out from where the box had been placed. The shirt on his shoulders was torn, and the long collarbone that was in the way was almost broken inside.

　As soon as he climbed up, he picked up the frightened bird boy. At the same time, fan-shaped guns swept over him. Those few shots just seemed to have angered the pirates, and the violent hail of bullets almost cut off the two of them.

　Lin Jingheng glanced around and discovered that this was where the heavy armor carried spare mechas. Six Prince Gloria's medium-sized mechas were parked next to the track, shining with a faint green light. There were pirates guarding under each mecha, and the number of people was getting more and more. It seemed that there was a dead end in every direction.

　A cold finger touched the back of Lin Jingheng's hand. When he lowered his head, he saw the bird boy pointing at the mecha closest to them. Lin Jingheng looked in the direction of his finger, but didn't see anything special about the mecha. She just frowned in confusion. At this moment, the bird boy suddenly kicked the ground hard and was about to fly into the air - he He planned to sacrifice himself for others, draw away the pirates' guns, and create an opportunity for Lin Jingheng to steal the mecha.

　Lin Jingheng reacted very quickly. Before the bird boy's feet even left the ground, he grabbed the back of the neck. Lin Jingheng directly pinned the bird boy, who was less than fifty pounds, to the ground, thinking: "Are you careless?"

　Of course, Yuan Yiren would not let him die. He had already prepared a mecha that could be controlled remotely. Lin Jingheng could already feel the familiar magnetic field the moment he caught the bird boy.

　The next moment, a mecha suddenly moved. The pirates guarding the mecha around were frightened. Before they could raise their heads, they were blown away by the particle cannon. Violent smoke rose suddenly, and the mecha rushed towards them. At the same time, , the pirates in the distance began to fire at them intensively, and the bird boy opened his eyes wide. The next moment, he felt that he was being thrown out without even touching the ground, and he was about to hit the closed door of the mecha. , the cabin door suddenly opened to both sides, and the mental net with claws and teeth rushed towards his face, passed him again, and entangled the people behind him like a river flowing into a sea.

　The bird boy's eyes widened in surprise. The moment he connected to the mental network, something extremely powerful and almost aggressive surged out of the young man, but then disappeared in an instant. The mecha gave the human-machine matching result— — 65%, the docking was successful - the mecha's protective cover was activated immediately, roaring and rushing out from the orbit, taking off directly under its own power without accelerating the orbit!

　The pirates were swept away by the strong wind caused by the mecha's acceleration. The next moment, the mecha broke away from the heavy armored mothership, glided to the middle of the pirate fleet, and started an emergency jump before anyone could react!

　Gone.

　The emergency jump brought huge pressure, as if it hit the bird boy's skull. His eardrums and nose bleed at the same time, and he fainted while maintaining the position of bleeding from all his orifices.

　Lin Jingheng gave him a complicated look, reached out and grabbed his front, intending to put him into the nursing cabin.

　However, he soon discovered that there was no nursing cabin on the mecha - not only was there no nursing cabin, all medical equipment, medicines and supplies had been unloaded, and there was even no drinking water.

　Yuan Yiren installed a remote control port for him, forcing him to choose this mecha to escape when many pirates were chasing him. Then more than 20 hours later, the Rainbow Virus broke out, and he would find himself in a state of endless fear, unable to even save himself. There is no space.

　On the heavy armor, the door of the mecha warehouse opened, and Yuan Yiren slowly walked in, looking down at the bunch of useless snacks under him.

　A pirate ran up in three steps and two steps: "Sir, they ran away."

　"Wrong." Gen Yiren patted the man's head, "It was our guide who took the bug first."

　He As he spoke, he opened his personal terminal, and a huge interstellar route map popped up. A small bright spot appeared on the map - a signal was sent from the little heart of the bird boy, marking their position at all times and sending them out at the same time. All sounds and conversations were dutifully transmitted back.

　"Well, it turns out there is an unknown illegal jump point there," Gen Yiren smiled contentedly, "Mark it for me."

　The pirates, who had everything under control, did not notice that on the small mecha they captured There was an empty wine cabinet. There were several transparent glass bottles floating on the wine cabinet, and there were fluorescent plants with spreading branches and leaves in them. There was a holder under the wine bottle, which was in the shape of a unique robot hand.

　When the bird boy woke up with blood on his face, he found himself on a strange mecha. He felt very uncomfortable, as if all the bones in his body had been torn apart once, and he timidly called out to the "sea snake".

　"Sea Snake" turned its back to him, as if checking the interstellar route map: "Sorry, there is no medical equipment on this mecha. You can wipe your face yourself."

　The bird boy cleaned himself up obediently, and then took a clean towel Walking up to him, he pointed at the large and small scratches and blood stains on the "sea snake". In his opinion, the "Sea Snake" looked very bad, even paler than when he was wearing heavy armor. He was sweating in layers, and his shirt was soaked through, exposing his rugged shoulder blades.

　The bird boy tentatively stretched out his hand and put it on his arm. He was frightened by the astonishing heat and started chirping incoherently.

　In fact, the body temperature of adults rarely rises above 40°. The damn rainbow virus makes Lin Jingheng feel like breathing is boiling hot - but fortunately, he has always been a camel in terms of endurance. As long as it is not fatal, the problem Not big.

　"It's okay," he said carefully, "We've got rid of them for now, but we don't have any supplies. We need to find a way... There's no need to look for it. There's no drinking water on this mecha."

　The bird boy looked at his soaked shirt. , looking anxious.

　Lin Jingheng sat down slowly, breathing as slowly as possible to maintain his strength: "I'm thinking... let's go around in a circle first to make sure we are completely rid of them, and then return to the base immediately."

　There was a struggle on his face that could be faked. His expression was silent for a while, and then he said: "You have to fight on your own. No matter what, I can't watch Big Sister and the others die at the hands of others. I have to tell them to move quickly."

　The young bird chirped softly. " made a sound.

　"Sea Snake" raised his head. Under the high fever, his gray eyes that always seemed cold and cold became much gentler because of the water vapor. He asked: "What special power do you have? You can fly, right?"

　The young man stood there at a loss. After a moment, he rolled up his sleeves and exposed his arms. The arm was longer than a normal human arm, with flat bones, somewhere between a human hand and a bird's wing. There was even a cluster of thin feathers on the shoulder blade. And when he relaxed and no longer tried to pretend to be human, his protruding sternum and curved spine were clearly visible. He stood there like a strange bird with a wrong head.

　Lin Jingheng asked: "Is it natural?"

　The bird boy shook his head quietly.

　"That's the one that was transformed," Lin Jingheng asked softly, "couldn't it...couldn't it be a transplant?"

　The bird boy shrank his head as if he was ashamed, as if to avoid his gaze.

　"Is it really a transplant?" Lin Jingheng asked in disbelief, "How is it possible? How is it possible that there is such a technology? Don't you need a nutrition box?"

　The bird boy fell silent and twisted the corners of his clothes awkwardly.

　Lin Jingheng asked: "Did those pirates make you like this?"

　He shook his head - as expected, such a high-end transplant could not be produced in Yuan Yiren's slaughterhouse-like laboratory.

　Lin Jingheng asked again: "They bought it from the black market. Who made you like this?"

　The bird boy still shook his head, stretched out his hand and gestured at a very short place, indicating that he had been like this since he was very young. Can't remember clearly.

　Lin Jingheng squinted her eyes slightly, blinked away the cold sweat on her eyelashes, and suddenly asked, "You know Sister Stinky, right?"

　The bird boy froze and looked at him in shock, as if he didn't know how to answer.

　However, this expression was enough for Lin Jingheng——

　First of all, this bird boy was bought by Gen Yiren from the black market. Before being bought, he probably got to know Sister Stinky through some channel, and has been in contact with Sister Stinky through some method over the years.

　No wonder Sister Stinky knew about the pirate invasion in advance.

　No wonder this bird boy risked his life to save him as soon as he heard that he was from Sister Stinky's base.

　"Okay," Lin Jingheng swayed as she stood up, grabbing the armrest of the sofa before standing still, "I owe that boy once, I will take you to see him."

　This conversation was read word for word by the source . Yiren received it, and a pirate stepped forward, pointed to the direction of the small bright spot on the map and said to him: "Sir, this direction is basically the same as the direction of the channel map found on his mecha."

　Source Yiren: " Chase!"

　The terrifying mecha group turned around and chased in the direction directed by Lin Jingheng, passing by the base's internal network area.

　The stream of high-energy particles rushed in like a tide, then left the base and flew to more distant areas.

　The base, which knew nothing about the larger crisis, successfully weathered this small crisis.

　The pilots who came down from the sky received a hero's welcome, with hard songs playing on the large multimedia screen. The usually deserted mecha platform was crowded with people celebrating all night long. The fat lady moved out several boxes of beer for them to pick up for free. Yes, the boys who had been subdued by him on Saturday were praised to the sky. He glanced down and found that Lu Bixing was missing.

　"Wait, wait a minute." Saturday/stand on all fours to break free from the enthusiastic crowd, grab Douji who can't close his mouth next to him, and shout loudly into his ear, "Where is Teacher Lu?"

　Douji: "Contact station! "

　Saturday: "I fucking knew it!"

　He stumbled his way through the crowd and walked to the contact station.

　There was no look of joy on Lu Bixing's face. His personal terminal was connected to the contact station. His fingers were issuing instructions one after another like flying. The map on the screen flipped over and over, tracing back where Mecha Beijing had been. Soon, a rough route map came out - Beijing, which was carrying out the detection mission, very professionally visited the surrounding environment of the channel within the scope of the intranet, then disappeared and went to a farther place. It was not until the day of replying to the message that it entered the signal range. , then returned along the channel at a very slow speed, and then...

　suddenly disappeared within the detectable range.

　"An emergency jump." Lu Bixing said in a deep voice as if he was talking to himself, "He must not have enough energy after walking for so many days. Otherwise, he would not have been so slow on his return trip after receiving the message of 'Return quickly'. And the emergency jump is quite energy-consuming - why?"

　Saturday interjected: "How did I know?"

　Lu Bixing thought for a while, suddenly stood up, turned around and left: "I want to go find him, you wait while I leave. "Tell me about it later."

　"Isn't he that... that general? One man beat the crap out of the Self-Defense Forces. What are you worried about?" Saturday stretched his neck and asked, "Are you going to confess?"

　Lu Bixing: "Fart, it's impossible for someone to be omnipotent in this world, just like it's impossible for someone to be useless... Also, don't talk nonsense, he is my friend."

　Saturday spread his hands: "Oh, friend, okay Well - what if your 'friend' is moved and confesses to you?"

　Lu Bixing paused and said, "I will consider it carefully."

　Saturday had never heard such a serious view of relationships in his life, and he was shocked for a moment. : "What...are you talking about?"

　"Tell him I will think it over carefully," Lu Bixing walked back into the mecha station without looking back, "He is a person who must be treated with caution."
