Chapter 29 Moving Forward (3)

A few minutes later, the flying electric shock fell in the air, and Tang Zhen controlled the mecha to fall to the original meeting point.

When he saw that there were only three IPs approaching across the canyon, Tang Zhen's face suddenly turned pale.

He glanced at the positioning cursor with hindsight, and asked in a trembling voice, "...Where's Xiao Jiang?"

In the team's communication channel, Qiao and Ellie were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak at all.

Li Youfang gritted his teeth: "He..."

The communication flickered at this time.

There was a turbulent sound inside, and then stabilized into Jiang Jianming's smiling voice: "Are we going to make peace? I look at the positioning coordinates, we should meet, is Man'er doing okay?"

Tang Zhen's nerves were all tense, but when he heard Jiang Jianming's voice, he immediately exploded: "Jiang Jianming!! Where the fuck are you!?"

"And, where's your location? I can't see your coordinates here - where the hell are you!?"

"Um?"

The opposite Jiang Jianming gave a nasal tone perfunctorily, with a lazy smile, "Didn't the three of them tell you?"

...

The other end of the canyon blocked by rocks.

Most of the blue-black mecha was buried by the falling rocks, and one side was sunken, and a faint black smoke rose.

Jiang Jianming struggled to open his eyes, his vision was blurred. From the gap between the broken mecha and the falling rocks, he saw the snow-swept night sky.

There was a crack on the screen of the cockpit, and he had turned off Seth Henry's voice, only the words were flashing.

Blood dripped from his forehead, along the brow bone all the way to the pale chin.

Jiang Jianming was lying on his back in the broken mecha, unable to move—the IP mechanical arm broke, pressing down on his right shoulder.

He said with a smile: "I changed my mecha... Xuejiu doesn't have Yin Beidou's positioning system installed, of course you can't see it."

Tang Zhen, who was on the opposite side of the communication, was greatly relieved.

Jiang Jianming grabbed the depressed robotic arm with his left hand and tried his strength.

In his mouth, he said casually: "I'll stay and observe for a while, and then go back after confirming that it can't climb over."

"Observe?" The opposite Tang Zhen laughed angrily, "Observe! Jiang Jianming, do you really think you are capable?"

Between the canyons, four IPs stood still.

Tang Zhen was scared out of a cold sweat just now, and at this time he couldn't help but say annoyed: "I said you are a little self-aware, in the end, you are just a disabled human being, and someone else will wipe your ass in the end. , go back to Laozi!"

"Tang Town!"

Li Youfang couldn't help but let out a cry, his eyes were blank and his throat was dry, "You, you...don't say anything."

Tang Zhen rolled his eyes at him and hummed, "What's the matter, I was rescued by Xiao Jiang once, and now I'm protecting him? I'll tell you, you'll know when you're familiar with him, this guy is not a worry."

Li Youfang was speechless, his hands were shaking.

In the cockpit, three lines of words flashed on the screen in front of them, and it was the information received remotely in the communication channel:

"Listen to me this time"

Li Youfang closed his eyes abruptly—he knew that the same message must be flashing on the screens of Qiao and Ellie at the moment.

It was Jiang Jianming...he told them not to look back...

"Okay, don't be angry, Tang Shao, I'll go back now...!"

Jiang Jianming gritted his teeth hard, and with a thud, the robotic arm that was on his shoulders was finally pushed away by him.

His eyes widened, and he saw the huge subspecies spider.

This guy also seems to have been hit by falling rocks and has new injuries on his body. However, the sound still made it turn its head, and it was the two rows of muddy green eyes again.

Jiang Jianming gasped slightly and pressed his throat: "You all proceed as originally planned, at least run forward for half an hour... Find a safe place to camp, and I will come over and meet with you as soon as possible."

Tang Zhen: "Okay, you can hurry up."

Jiang Jianming said "um" and turned off the communication.

He was not flustered, but very calm.

I remember a few years ago, when Marshal Chen pulled him to chat, he said: The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the wise commander cannot always predict all the situations.

Therefore, as a general and commander, the important qualities are not as expected—

Rather, it's a matter of time.

He gasped and grabbed Xue Dou's folded bracelet. Fortunately, I left the remaining energy of the snow dove, and it is not a big problem.

if only……

Now get on the snow dove...fly to the canyon...

"Cough...cough...!"

Jiang Jianming suddenly coughed with convulsions, and his internal organs were connected to the bones, causing a sharp pain.

By this time, his body couldn't hold it anymore.

Too tired...and too painful.

It's not the trauma that hurts, it's the lungs.

Jiang Jianming couldn't help shrinking from the pain, his dark eyes were soaked with some physiological tears, and the blood that he coughed up fell on the silver-white bracelet.

The goose feather snow seemed to be swirling and fell into his brain, a vast expanse of white.

Amid the exhaustion and pain that swept through his body, Jiang Jianming lost his mind for a moment.

He took a deep breath forbearance, staring at the blood stains on the snow dove bracelet, and at the huge subspecies not far away.

suddenly.

A very strange thought came to mind.

Strange, why do you...

The memory suddenly became confused.

A crisp childish voice resounded in the depths of time.

"why……"

...

Outside the window is the boundless universe, a huge purple star ring and planet, this is the purple silk star city of the second galaxy, the most important star of commerce in the empire.

In the warehouse of the civilian starship, the black-haired, black-eyed boy closed the paper book he was holding, tilted his head, and his eyes were clear: "Why do you want to run away?"

...

Heavy snow, heavy snow falling all over the sky.

Jiang Jianming lay on his back among the wreckage of the mecha, as if he felt that the ring hanging around his neck had warmed.

In the dark of night, the subspecies giant spider waved its cheliceras and rushed towards this side, its mouthparts opened and closed, and was preparing to spin silk next time.

Jiang Jianming held Xuejiu tightly, he had difficulty breathing, his eyes were dark, and his heart was beating fast and fast.

If you don't go...it's too late...

However, this is strange.

After all, why did he leave?

For this B-level subspecies that came suddenly, the good experience was invalid, Beimaner broke his right leg, and he was exhausted himself, and the pain was like death.

M-IP 18 was destroyed, Xue Dou's energy and the new crystal weapon prepared were almost exhausted, as well as the potion and crystal particle tranquilizer...

They fought all the way to break out of the siege, and they also succeeded in letting this subspecies bleed all the way.

Now the teammates have left safely and have no worries.

Why did he—

In the flashback memories, the young boy sitting in the civilian starship... The thirteen-year-old Jiang Jianming held his chin curiously and asked with a smile:

"Why not kill the enemy?"

Jiang Jianming's pupils shrank slightly.

In an instant, the sprayed spider silk shattered the old memories!

There was a crisp sound of metal hitting, and white light suddenly appeared. The mecha Xuejiu unfolded at the last moment, and the pair of white shields like wings blocked the spider silk of the subspecies.

Jiang Jianming fell into the driver's seat!

Confused, he seemed to have returned to the Purple Silk Star City in his childhood, and saw the back of his adoptive father dragging his luggage out of the house.

The old man who taught him to read and read, and taught him to touch firearms and play mechs; the old man who wore an apron and cooked vegetables and raised him happily...

The first person in his life who promised to be with him forever, his father.

In the end, he was called to the far interstellar space and buried his bones in the sea of ​​stars forever.

More spider silk stuck to the joints of the mecha, and the snow dove was like a flapping bird trapped by ropes, suspended between the cliffs!

The subspecies spider hissed, and it kept spewing out a white substance mixed with venom and spider silk, trapping the mecha tighter and tighter until it hung the snow dove in mid-air.

Jiang Jianming was lying in the red cockpit. He was too weak, his whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and he could no longer hold the joystick.

But he held a black throwing grenade in his hand, which was the crystal particle bomb he had fished out of the combat bag beside him in the last few seconds before the snow dove unfolded.

"Cough...cough..."

The body hurt more, and more blood gurgled out from the corners of the lips.

At this moment, Jiang Jianming's eyes were out of focus, and he seemed to see Ryan's leaving back again.

The platinum long hair was flying, and the prince looked back one last time and slowly disappeared into the dark depths of the universe.

This is the second person in his life who has promised to be with him forever.

On the occasion of my parting three years ago...

Has his little highness also made such a choice?

Was his father the same?

Knowing that the strong enemy is at the moment, as long as you turn back and retreat, you will find a safe and comfortable home behind you, those who are waiting for the return of the conquerors.

But throughout the thousands of years of human civilization's stumbled history, no matter when and where, there will always be some stubborn souls——

——Choose to go forward in blood.

Between the cliffs before the canyon, the cobwebs have already formed.

The subspecies giant spider rushed towards the immobile M-Xuejiu, and spewed the last spider silk at the position of the cockpit.

The silk will corrode the hard metal, and then its hard mouthpart appendages will bite open the cockpit and drag the driver out.

It will first suck the most delicious brain, and then spit out the digestive juice, corrode this weak human into a mass of meat puree, and then swallow it into the belly for a full meal.

"..."

Jiang Jianming gritted his teeth, and he smiled softly with tears in his eyes.

In fact, he never really resented Ryan's death, the only thing was that he couldn't calm down——

He whispered: "...Why don't you take me away, I have to work hard to chase."

You should know that I am the same person as you.

next second.

The snow dove in the middle of the spider web disappeared.

No... it didn't disappear, but the mecha was forcibly retracted into a folded state.

The spider silk in the center lost its binding object, and suddenly drooped softly, turning into a ball swaying in the wind.

Jiang Jianming fell down.

The cold wind mixed with thousands of snowflakes came from behind like a wave.

He saw the overwhelming, criss-crossing white spider silks passing around him one after another.

That is……

Is that the chain that fate wants to bind him?

He also saw the jaws of the subspecies spider, every hair down, and even every fold on the beetle.

Then let it all be destroyed.

With a light sound, Jiang Jianming opened the safety ring of the crystal particle bomb in mid-air and threw it at the enemy who was close at hand.

He didn't use a lot of strength because he really had no strength.

But this distance is close enough, he used himself as a bait to attract the subspecies to the point of face-to-face, and now even if a child throws it, he will not be able to throw it.

As expected, the explosive bomb landed on the bottom of the subspecies spider's seriously injured abdomen, and there was a flash of light.

The next moment, the scarlet fireball expanded rapidly.

The fireball wrapped the subspecies spider, especially not satisfied. The aftermath of the explosion, carrying heat waves, quickly spread in all directions.

Jiang Jianming quietly watched the heat wave hit him.

There was peace in his heart.

Not dead, just seriously injured at most.

Injuring the enemy one thousand and self-injuring eight hundred is worth it.

Until he was in sight, countless red-golden real crystals were stabbed out of thin air, blocking the rushing energy for him.

"!?"

boom! ! !

The loud noise that shook the valley was long overdue.

boom! Jiang Jianming's falling body was first blocked twice by the real crystal formed in mid-air, and then he landed on the icy mountain.

He groaned, even though he had been relieved of seven or eight points of strength, there was still another sharp pain in his heart.

Jiang Jianming didn't care about anything, and raised his head suddenly.

The night seems to have stagnated, and the place outside the canyon has changed.

There was thick smoke and fire everywhere on the scorched earth, the severed limbs of giant spiders fell from the sky, and the blood rained wildly.

The long wind brings the smell of burnt, blood and stench...

If the eighteen levels of Avici Hell described in the Eastern Theology of the Ancient Blue Star Era really existed, it might not be more depressing than this scene.

However, just before this tragic scene, a tall figure stood.

Garcia turned his eyes back against the firelight, and the snow-covered wind blew away his long platinum hair, still those cold emerald eyes that captured the soul.

A pitch-black mecha hovered obliquely in the sky at some point, blocking the spray of filth for the prince.

Among the blood rain spider corpses, he is like a fallen god.

The author has something to say: "Ping (cong) Ping (small) Wu (just) odd (ruthless)"

It's better that the little highness came down early than the coincidence. Jiang Jiang took away all the merits of killing the subspecies, and he could get the weak and battle-damaged beauty*1
