Luo Lixi clenched her hands, stood there and timidly shouted: "Sir, just give an order and everyone will do their best to help you."
A worried glint flashed in her light blue eyes. She stood at the very corner of the corridor, looking a little aggrieved and pitiful, standing there, motionless.
As a highly intelligent humanoid soldier, she was choked with emotion when she spoke at this moment.
"Sir, we are not afraid of danger, nor of death, as long as we can help you."
Hear these words.
Su Yi lowered his eyes and looked down, thinking for a moment, then spoke.
"Actually, there's a reason why we didn't bring you along. Invasion is far easier than protection. Blue Planet is too big, and those lunatics in the wasteland have countless opportunities to swarm over. Even if we try our best, we're still too slow."
"Even if we find a passage to Shu County this time, it will most likely be a trap. I'm the only one who has a chance to fight it out."
In order to stabilize the morale of the army.
Su Yi has never said anything negative, but since the beginning of this incident.
He knew very well that he was at a great disadvantage, and even his every move was calculated.
Many things were planned, but Su Yi had no choice but to do them.
It is much harder to defend a place than to invade it.
Even when Daxia was at its most powerful in ancient times, its borders were always harassed. During the Han Dynasty, there were the Xiongnu, and during the Tang Dynasty, there were the Turks, these ethnic minorities who were isolated from the fertile land.
When faced with natural disasters or resource shortages, even if they know that the country they are attacking is extremely powerful, they will choose to plunder to replenish themselves.
If you have huge resources but lack sufficient strength, you will definitely be greeted by unbridled erosion. The Five Barbarians' Invasion of China and the Manchus' Breaking Through the Pass are both very realistic portrayals.
Under the influence of the Dark Forest Law, the existence of Blue Star has been exposed, and a war between the two worlds is almost inevitable.
Su Yi only wanted to delay Blue Star for a while longer, giving it more time to grow and develop, and that was enough.
In order to truly solve the problem of invasion, he had to return to the wasteland, rejoin the Sword Bearer, completely wipe out other forces there, and unify the entire territory, but that would take a very long time, at least not now.
Luo Lixi rarely retreated immediately. She followed his instructions and trotted to Su Yi.
"Sir! You knew it was a trap, but you still went alone. Isn't that too risky?"
After spending so many days together, she deeply realized that her superior still had many weaknesses. He was easily restricted by spatial abilities, had insufficient energy, and had few ways to perceive and search for information.
Obviously, many shortcomings can be compensated by bringing them along.
Su Yi smiled bitterly and put his hand on Luo Lixi's head:
"How could I possibly take you there knowing it was a trap?"
"If everyone is in good condition, has been trained, has taken their medicine, and has the means to protect themselves, I will definitely be happy to carry out the mission together."
"But this is not the time."
Su Yi understood this feeling. He had said the same thing to the big sister in his early years, and he also knew how to comfort those who were worried about him.
He spoke and gave Lolisi a clear task.
"Lolita, I formally order you to report any emergency or important intelligence you receive to me immediately."
Lolisi raised her head, her delicate face full of worry, and she did not respond for a long time.
Su Yi received it again in a serious tone.
"Sequence 748923, are you confident you can complete it?"
Another instruction.
Lolixi raised her arm involuntarily and gave a standard military salute.
Looking directly at her superior's face, she bit her red lips, swallowed back all the words that were about to come out of her mouth, and nodded heavily.
"Yes, sir. I will complete my mission."
……
a long distance away.
Shu County.
The red maple forest swayed in the wind, and clouds gathered around. The sky showed an incomparable dark purple light. Thunder rumbled continuously, and a violent storm gathered around. The radiation energy was extremely high, spreading in ripples around.
Under the influence of this energy storm, flowers and plants began to wither, trees began to shrink, and everything in the world seemed to be dying, presenting a dark color.
As the man waved the dark golden scepter in the air, the entrance of the passage slowly emerged in the air. He held the scroll and chanted continuously, accelerating its formation.
"God of Space, please unleash your divine power. Resonate with us, stir the universe, and bring the Holy Land to you!"
The white robe engraved with the golden Sagittarius star pattern fluttered in the air. The man tried his best to hold on. However, since his life energy was not fully gathered, he began to sacrifice himself directly. Blood flowed from all seven orifices and his face looked extremely hideous.
There were more and more cracks, and the sound of breaking glass came one after another, and finally a footstep slowly took a step in the tunnel.
"Hahaha, is this Blue Planet? What a unique world."
"Your energy is so depleted, Sequence Two! Sequence Two! No wonder you haven't recovered yet."
"It's really God's blessing, God's blessing."
As the voice rang out, the man who was originally holding the dark golden scepter fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed violently, and a wanton smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Welcome, my Lord from the Holy Land."
Chapter 271: Dead End (6k)
Haidu Ward.
The strong smell of iodine mixed with various liquid medicines, a unique aroma filled the empty room. It was noon, and the sunlight shone through the curtains into the room.
The room was very crowded, and the bed was packed with people. Amidst the noise, a dull cough was heard, as if someone was vomiting blood, and the sound was very low.
"Cough-cough-"
"What Su Yi said is indeed correct. The enemy's barracks are extremely simple, and they are ready to retreat at any time. When we sneaked in, we saw a lot of equipment that was scrapped due to lack of energy. According to the consumption rate during the attack, it definitely won't last long..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Li Chengyuan fell on the hospital bed and said to all the officers who came to visit him that he was bandaged and there was a hole in his left chest caused by the heat radiation. Although he underwent surgery and emergency sutures, blood was still oozing out.
Despite his old age and having suffered such a serious injury, his face had already lost all color, but Li Chengyuan still forced himself to hold on and explain everything to everyone.
Fortunately, the mission was successful, and he and Cheng Sanli not only obtained an energy shield, but also a lot of prosthetic equipment.
The materials obtained are sufficient for the Daxia Research Institute to crack and analyze.
"Mr. Li, take good care of your injuries. You've worked really hard this time. I'll compile the remaining information and report it to the Central Command."
The soldiers around said solemnly.
In order to allow the old man to take good care of his health, after learning about the relevant situation, everyone did not make any further entanglements and quickly left the ward.
Leave room for silence.
Seeing that everyone had left, the injured Li Chengyuan lay on the bed, squinting at the corner of the room, looking at the silver-haired girl standing there. He stroked his chest, dragged his tired body upwards, and asked:
"Did Su Yi ask you to come?"
"Ok!"
Lolixi nodded, walked obediently to the bed, took out a dark green potion, and handed it to the old man.
"Grandpa Li, this is for you."
"What is this?" Li Chengyuan looked at the medicine handed to him, and a look of confusion appeared on his old face.
The dark green liquid, coupled with the shape of the syringe, looked familiar, but I couldn't remember what it was.
"This is a healing potion. The commander instructed me a long time ago that if you are injured during an operation, I should send the medicine over. You can take this injection and your injury will be healed quickly."
Lolisi explained patiently.
Su Yi had long expected that his teacher would definitely lose his patience and make contributions to Daha even though he was old.
So I left a healing potion on purpose in case anything goes wrong.
At this time, Lolixi was in invisible state, but it was useless in front of Li Chengyuan who had the ability to see through things.
She can keep the car on to communicate with the elderly, and at the same time avoid being observed by others.
Lolisi's eyes turned dark green, scanned the old man, and then reminded him.
"Your injury this time is quite serious. Even if you recover, your body will enter a period of weakness and you will lose the ability to move for the next few days. Please try to stay in bed to recuperate. This will be very helpful for your recovery."
"Can it heal injuries instantly? There's actually something so powerful. This must be technology from another world. If only Daxia could use this technology, it would save a lot of lives."
Li Chengyuan held the potion in his hand and had already guessed its origin. In the past, he had seized similar things from foreign forces like the Holy Land Organization and knew how valuable they were.
He sighed deeply and then continued.
"I don't need it. You can give it to Cheng Sanli. His injuries are much more serious than mine. He is still lying in the ward and hasn't woken up yet."
Everything was going well for the two of them, but on the way of retreat they happened to run into patrolmen from the alien army, and were then chased for a long distance by a large group of suicide bombers.
Cheng Sanli blocked a wave of cruise bombs for himself. Although he was protected by the rocks, he was still seriously injured and is now in the intensive care unit.
Rather than letting it go to waste, it is better to save a young life.
Luo Lixi tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Grandpa Li, your injury is not fatal, but if you don't receive timely treatment with medicine, with the medical level of Blue Star, even if you recover, you will still have hidden injuries."
The officer only gave her one bottle of healing potion. If Li Chengyuan missed the best time to use it, it would be difficult for her to recover even if she got a replenishment later.
Giving up is not a good option for the elderly.
Su Yi once told him that Li Chengyuan's attainments in swordsmanship were high enough, and they had a lot to talk about in many aspects. The old man also learned many things much faster than ordinary people, and he was truly gifted in swordsmanship.
It's just that his abilities are too auxiliary. He has no talent for physical strengthening and has not undergone any transformation. Such physical conditions limit the old man's performance. If he has individual abilities, or has some opportunities to obtain an extraordinary physique, he will have a higher ceiling.
But there is no if in the world. If there is another hidden injury, the old man's physical condition will be further deteriorated.
Li Chengyuan shook his head, a wry smile forming on his lips: "It's nothing. I'm already a withered bone in a grave. I'm so old, why should I care about these things?"
"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. You are also a human being, not a substitute with superpowers. When Su Yi asks you, just say it was my decision."
As soon as these words came out, Lolisi's expression became uneasy, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her light blue eyes, and she lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.
"Do you... understand? Did the commander say that?"
If someone pointed this out to Lolisi, she would definitely make sure that person would never be able to speak.
But the old man in front of him obviously had a special status, as he was the boss's master.
"No, I just guessed it myself." Li Chengyuan coughed twice and shook his head.
"I haven't lived in vain for so many years. Before, I thought your face was too pure, like a newly born bird, so I thought you were a product of superpowers, but now it's obviously not the case. You are clearly human."
"Human?"
Lolisi tilted her head, her silver hair falling by her ears and floating on her chest. She didn't quite understand the meaning of this word.
Although she is a soldier, she should always look like a talented person.
Li Chengyuan explained, "Humanity means that your face clearly displays emotion, and there are obvious facial details that only humans possess. My special ability pays close attention to this kind of thing and is very sensitive to it."
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be from another world. Su Yi hid you so deeply, probably because he didn't want you to be exposed and hurt."
"Hmm..." Luo Lixi nodded without denying it. The commander had already told Li Chengyuan a lot of information, so it was not surprising that the old man could guess it.
The two's original plan was to tell the old man about everything after everything was over. It was just a little early now, but it was not a big deal.
But realizing something, curiosity flashed in Lolisi's pale blue eyes:
"Grandpa Li, am I the same as everyone else in this world?"
Li Chengyuan paused: "Why would there be such a question?"
Luo Lixi explained in a low voice: "Actually, I was a soldier before, a product created in a laboratory, so I am a little different from everyone else."
"Is that so..." Li Chengyuan coughed twice and shook his head gently. "How can anyone else confirm this? There are so many people in this world, all different. When you have the emotions and beliefs of a human being, you can already call yourself a human being."
Back when people with special abilities were still a minority, still ostracized as aliens, the old man had asked himself this question many times: Am I still human? Am I the same as everyone else? Is he a freak?
But these answers all have a reasonable explanation in the end. He still has concerns. He did not go crazy because of the side effects. He still has his own beliefs and ideals like all ordinary people.
There is no difference.
"Is that right?"
Lolisi fell silent, but nodded involuntarily.
