But soon the sadness was swept away. I don’t know whether it was temporarily suppressed or overcome.
She smiled, took out a bag of snacks called Strawberry Ointment and handed it over.
"Well, okay, this is the snack I promised you yesterday. I know you like blueberry flavor the best, but it's a pity they're sold out at the store. I'll buy it for you next time I have a chance."
"You're wearing too little. Would you like a scarf? A hood or something? I can lend you mine."
"It's okay, I don't feel cold." Su Yi shook his head and took the strawberry ointment sent by the girl in his hand. "Strawberries and blueberries are the same. I'll try them next time I have a chance."
He greeted his mother, and after getting Ms. Xu's consent, he walked to the door of the apartment, opened the door a little, and the cold wind rushed in through the gap.
As he was about to turn and leave, Mu Xiaowei hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand and gently held him:
"Su Yi, I don't know if I'm being sentimental, but I feel like someone is protecting me."
"And you must protect yourself. I already understand that superpowers mean danger."
The girl's words were filled with worry, even too much worry. Her eyes were red and her light brown hair was blown by the cold wind in the corridor, draping over her cheeks and gently caressing back.
The lights in the house were shining, warm and comfortable, compared to the cold and darkness in the corridor, it was as if there was an invisible layer of separation between the world.
It was silent and hushed. I wanted to stay by someone's side all the time, but for some reason it was so difficult to achieve.
Su Yi turned his head in the corridor, looked at the girl who was holding him, and pointed at himself with his thumb.
"Don't worry, we'll both be fine, I promise!"
Chapter 107: Lord Sequence Two, Please Let Me Be Your Running Dog!
On New Year's Eve, when the whole family was happy, except for the families affected by the explosion, every part of Los Angeles was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Some families were cooking hot pot, some were playing poker, and some were "playing poker" in the physical sense.
It was still snowing heavily outside the window, and the goose-down snowflakes were becoming increasingly violent under the blowing of the cold wind.
In this residential complex called Peaceful Era, a dark shadow was leaping back and forth between the balcony and the air conditioner unit at a speed that was difficult for anyone to observe.
Until it suddenly swooped down from a height of dozens of meters, just like the eternal Hu Wei catching Hadi, and caught the drone from mid-air.
"It's flying quite high..." Su Yi took the drone and began to check it.
He is now very wary of drones. Judging from the war situation in other countries, this thing has occupied an extremely important position in the military of Blue Star.
Precision strikes, suicide bombings, and intelligence exploration can now be carried out without any human cost.
Even a well-equipped army would find it difficult to resist, let alone buildings and ordinary civilians.
This thing can fly so high, far beyond the capabilities of civilian drones, and it is almost impossible to catch it by manpower.
Even if you want to hide, you can fly to a place where he can't reach you. At that time, you can only rely on your heart flame to take you down.
How did the stuff get in?
With so many people patrolling outside, there should be people guarding against drones when they come.
He saw someone specifically on guard in the air, driving a vehicle that could search for signals, running around Los Angeles, and he didn't know how they got in.
"Sir, Lolisi found nothing up there that could be used as a weapon, not even any surveillance equipment. Only the very top seems to store video footage."
"Oh?" This piqued his interest a little. He had worked so hard to send the drone over, but it had neither weapons to attack nor monitoring equipment to obtain intelligence.
What's going on? Is someone flying a military drone for fun during Chinese New Year?
Before he could explain the doubts in his mind, Lolisi quickly locked onto the location of the remote controller based on the signal transmission.
The two of them hurried over, only to find that the remote control was tied to a stone in the community with a timer on it, and it had just taken off.
No wonder Su Yi didn't notice it when entering the community, but according to the above operations, the drone's instructions were just to stay in the air above the community.
This operation made Su Yi even more confused. There were no weapons, no monitoring equipment, and they even gave up on the operation.
Could it be that the wolf in front is pretending to be asleep to lure the enemy?
Place an unmanned drone here to let everyone relax their vigilance, and then suddenly fly out a few self-destructing drones to catch them off guard.
But this reason is ridiculous. Knowing that some people are using drones, the protection will definitely be more stringent. Would anyone come up with such a stupid method?
It seems that the problem lies in that video. Someone transported the drone just for the video material above.
So Su Yi clicked on the display screen at the top with doubt, but as soon as he clicked it, he suddenly heard a man's solemn prayer.
"Secret and mysterious Master Sequence Two, your supreme and noble presence is like a burning flame, cleansing the dust of the world."
"You are like the bright moon that illuminates the vast darkness, slaying all heretics and evil that dare to infringe upon your great figure."
"Nothing here can be compared to you, and the light here is only worthy of burning the corners of your clothes."
"There is no one who does not tremble at your majestic aura, and I am not overwhelmed by your proud figure."
"Please show yourself and save the fallen!"
……
What the hell?
Hearing this strange sound, Su Yi's face was full of black lines, as if he was avoiding something dirty. He hurriedly moved the drone away from him. He had carried out many missions, but had never seen such a thing.
The conversation inside has not stopped yet, and it keeps chattering non-stop.
This emotional recitation and passionate praise almost made all the flattery pale in comparison. The other party described Sequence Two as so great that Su Yi felt like digging his toes into the floor.
Even in the wasteland, in the Sword Bearer base camp, no one had ever heard such fanatical praise. He was already compared to a god.
However, when these embarrassing sounds reached Lolisi's ears, the silver-haired girl not only did not think it was excessive, but nodded repeatedly, showing her approval and enjoyment.
A leader should be so great. It’s great that someone shares the same idea as her.
However, Lolixi was a conservative when it came to praising Su Yi. In her opinion, the words in these prayers were still too conservative, as if they were describing how terrifying the superiors were.
He is obviously gentle and considerate, yet extremely powerful, and extremely caring towards his subordinates.
It would be more reasonable to address him as "The Great, Noble, Holy, Supreme, Incomparable, Unrivaled, Sequence Two Lord."
The two of them watched the video together. Since there was no fast-forward button, Su Yi wanted to know what this guy was trying to do. He suppressed the embarrassment in his heart. After about 10 minutes, the prayer ended.
Finally, the image changed, and the culprit of all this was revealed. He was wearing a pure white research suit and holding a cross in his hands, like a devout believer.
I was wondering why the voice sounded so familiar, and it turned out to be this guy. When Su Yi saw Xu Chen's figure, his face darkened. Thinking about it this way, everything was explained. He had been to the community before, and with his identity, there was no problem for him to place a drone here.
But how could he be so sure that he would find this drone, and how could he be so sure that he would appear next to Mu Xiaowei?
Sequence Two is now a wanted criminal!
He is a national S-level wanted criminal, the kind that can get 50 for providing some clues. If the military finds out about his words and attitude, he will definitely be suspected.
Doing this kind of thing at such a sensitive time will definitely not end well.
If Su Yi wanted to deal with him, he didn't even need to do it himself. He could just throw the drone next to the patrol team, and that would be enough to make this guy suffer.
Just when everyone was confused, Xu Chen in the video gave his own explanation as if he had expected it.
"Sequence Two, please forgive my offense.
"My name is Xu Chen. I've met you twice before. I'm an academician of the Daxia Academic Research Institute and currently a member of the Special Operations Team."
"This drone is merely a tool for disseminating video footage. It doesn't have any offensive capabilities. The reason I'm trying to see you in such a presumptuous way is mainly because I have a request."
"If you are dissatisfied with me, you can just hand over this drone."
In the video, Xu Chen spoke very sincerely. Obviously, he had already thought about the consequences of the video being discovered by others.
After a while, Xu Chen in the video put his hands together, tapped his shoulders with his fingertips, and shouted from the bottom of his heart in a weird prayer.
"Please teach me how to reduce the impurities in the radiation energy so that I can absorb the radiation energy as freely as you can!"
"As long as you can promise me Xu Chen, I'm willing to give you anything. If you're interested, if you need a subordinate, or if you need a subordinate, you can contact me through the email address I left."
"If I have been rude, please forgive me for my impoliteness!"
Soon the video went off and an email address appeared. Su Yi watched the video and fell into deep thought.
Xu Chen looked crazy, saying he was willing to give up everything, just like a person cursed by knowledge.
Obviously, this guy is not as calm as he looks. I don’t know how much effort he has made in private to achieve his goals.
However, he had found the wrong person. He was not a talent in scientific research, but he did have energy conversion equipment in the wasteland that was more advanced than the [nuclear reactor].
But he had the help of Heart Flame and didn't need those devices at all, so he didn't really understand its characteristics.
"unless……"
Su Yi recalled that Xiu Ming was still lying at home and preparing to turn on the computer. The girl had radiation energy called upon during the battle with him.
Unlike Lolixi, who relies entirely on her own strength, it is very likely that there is a corresponding device in Xiu Ming's body, which Xu Chen may want very much.
But no matter how much he wanted it, Su Yi would never give it to him. Why should he hand over the soldier he had captured with great difficulty to someone else?
Begging first and then launching a sneak attack is common in the wasteland. Those guys with no moral bottom line will even kneel down before the battle and then take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. This is not uncommon.
Su Yi is not the kind of philanthropist who will help others just because they beg. On the contrary, the more affiliates he has, the more he will expose himself. In fact, it is just a relationship of mutual benefit, which is also very dangerous.
Not killing him was already a mercy.
Besides, he seldom uses means of manipulating people's hearts, but that's not to say he doesn't use them. In fact, if he really wants Xu Chen's help, he doesn't need to pay any price at all.
You just need to send him a message via email, give him some orders, and paint a big picture. Since the other party wants to get something from you, he will not refuse to do it, and dare not refuse to do it.
Of course, the number of times cannot be too many, nor can it be too important, otherwise it will arouse the other party's vigilance or give the other party a handle and that will be bad.
"I actually broke my promise because of such a trivial thing."
Su Yi felt unhappy and ignited the heart flame in his hand. A white light flashed and quickly melted the drone into ashes.
The cold wind blew across his cheeks. He stood on the roof, his eyes piercing the night sky, watching the increasingly lively neighborhood and gazing into the distance at the increasingly peaceful Los Angeles.
"Sir, aren't we leaving?" Lolisi asked doubtfully.
She didn't interrupt about the drone incident just now, but she really appreciated the other party's praise in her heart.
If the boss doesn't like it, then she doesn't like it either.
"Wait a little longer, there are still 2 minutes." Su Yi replied in a low voice.
It was already 11:58 pm.
From his angle, he could see Mu Xiaowei reaching out to grab the window and looking repeatedly at the entrance of the community, as if looking for something. Her neat high ponytail swayed back and forth as her head twisted.
He looked very depressed.
As time goes by little by little.
Su Yi raised his head, reached out to catch a falling snowflake, and counted down quietly.
Seeing him start counting down, Lolixi, also confused about the situation, started counting down as well.
"5"
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
The two people's voices disappeared into the night sky, echoing in this unnoticed corner.
Just when the last word fell.
I don't know who lit the fireworks at the right time. With a roar, a brilliant light appeared in the sky. The colorful light temporarily illuminated the deep night, outlining a dazzling pattern.
"Sir, something big has happened. Someone is going to bomb this place!"
Watching the fireworks exploding in the sky, I could smell the smell of gunpowder in the air.
Lolixi's face suddenly changed. She held a dagger in her hand, protecting him in front of her, staring at the fireworks that kept burning and blooming in the night sky, her tone full of alertness.
However, before she could use the chip to search what had happened, Su Yi grabbed her collar from behind and dragged her downstairs.
"This isn't a bombing; it's the Daxia people's way of celebrating the Spring Festival. There's said to be a fireworks show tomorrow. I'll take you to see it then."
Su Yi explained as he walked, and at the last moment before leaving, he turned his head to look at Mu Xiaowei, who was still lying by the window and his expression could not be seen clearly.
He muttered softly.
"This can be considered as counting down together."
"Happy New Year, Xiaowei."
