Chapter 50: Ambush (4)

The strangely shaped rocks were covered with frost, and the snow-like mecha slowly landed among the high mountains.

The sun gradually moved westward, and the sun was hidden behind the mountains. The cockpit of the mecha is dim, only the console and the screen are lit up with various fluorescent lights, and the darkness is overwhelming.

Garcia was panting for breath, he tore off the seat belt and took Jiang Jianming into his arms.

"Wake up."

"ginger."

Jiang Jianming's face was frighteningly pale. He opened his eyes slightly, his eyelashes trembled, and the dark pupils that were exposed were out of focus.

"...Your Highness."

His voice was barely audible.

"I'm here." Garcia responded, holding the crippled human with cold body temperature while reaching out to open the treatment cabin.

There was a hint of resistance from the cuff. It was Jiang Jianming who raised his hand and grabbed his sleeve, but soon, the finger slipped off again.

"Don't move," Garcia immediately grabbed his cold fingers and said hoarsely, "You need to rest."

Jiang Jianming shook his head lightly in the prince's arms.

Garcia leaned over and heard him say in a low voice, "No... Energy..."

When the incident happened suddenly, they hurriedly changed their mecha and retreated to this snowy mountain, and almost all the supplies were left in Zhan Comet's fuselage.

S-Xuejiu is the only mecha they have left, and they don't even have backup energy. In addition, the situation is unknown now. If Xuejiu runs out of energy and can't start it... things will be really troublesome.

"...!"

Garcia clenched his teeth violently, as if someone had been slapped with a whip, and he couldn't tell whether he was in pain or anger.

He was tense for a while, lowered his head and hugged the body in his arms, his voice trembling: "But you..."

Jiang Jianming shrank into his arms, and after a while, the disabled man was smiling softly, and a faint voice came from his lips: "Are you frightened? I won't die..."

He looked so weak that he felt like he was about to die at any time, but he still had the energy to pat His Royal Highness's arm, and said intermittently: "If it didn't cause crystal chaos... it's nothing, wait for me to relax... Cough, slow down. Just now..."

Garcia put his index finger on his lips and whispered helplessly: "Don't talk, you have to lie down quietly."

When the fingertip left, there was a little red stain, which was blood.

"..."

Garcia's breathing became rapid, his eyes were cold and dark, his fingers curled up, and his nails mercilessly pinched into the palm of his hand.

... Before he set off, he thought that no matter what happened, he could always protect Jiang Jianming.

But now, his crippled human was so badly wounded that he was about to die.

And he couldn't do anything.

"sorry."

"sorry."

The two voices overlapped without warning.

Garcia's pupils trembled, unbelievable: "You!"

Jiang Jianming was also stunned for a moment, but he stopped talking.

He wanted to say sorry, but he was so smug before he left, but he was still holding back, and it made you feel so scared. It is indeed his responsibility.

As a result, when he looked up and saw Garcia's livid face, he wisely chose to shut up.

He tugged at the prince's sleeve as if nothing had happened, and whispered, "Cough...don't talk about that anymore, just give me a hand, and I'll put Xuejiu... away."

Garcia didn't help him.

The prince took off his coat and wrapped it around him, directly hugged Jiang Jianming, and took out the mecha.

It was already dark outside, withered branches shaking along the way, and stratus clouds drowned the tops of the snow-capped mountains.

According to this situation, it is going to snow again at night.

Garcia suddenly turned around and looked up. There were a few black spots flying around between the mountains, and strange cries were occasionally heard in the wind.

It is an avian alien creature, and these things fly around their heads, as if they are monitoring them.

A trace of killing intent flashed in the prince's eyes, but it disappeared in the next second.

No, Jiang Jianming's current physical condition can't support more crystal particle fluctuations, so he can't fight here.

Garcia turned around with Jiang Jianming in his arms, Shen Xin guarded the surroundings, and stepped on the snow to the depths of the dangerous mountain step by step.

And those birds seem to know that they must not be the opponents of His Royal Highness. They were just studded high behind, not far away, nor close to the distance that Garcia's True Crystal could reach.

Pairs of red eyes were condescending, staring thoughtfully at the small backs of the two.

...

Night is coming soon.

Jiang Jianming didn't know when he fell asleep, but he was awakened by Garcia.

Into the eye is a strange cave, the distance is very dark, but there is a bonfire in the cave, propping up a small group of unstable brightness in the dark night.

The wind and snow were whistling outside, and the flames were crackling among the wooden branches, becoming the only sound other than the shrill wind.

Garcia got water from nowhere, and fed it to him in a large leaf.

Jiang Jianming was confused, and the warm light of the bonfire made him very sleepy again.

After drinking some water, he was fed something by His Royal Highness. It seemed to be fruit. The flesh was sweet, soft and juicy, and it was actually delicious.

The feeding process lasted for nearly an hour. In the middle of the process, Jiang Jianming wanted to close his eyes several times and continue to sleep, but Garcia stubbornly did not let him go.

Being tossed back and forth like this, Jiang Jianming didn't want to wake up anymore, and finally woke up a little bit helplessly.

"His Royal Highness," he finally raised his head from His Royal Highness's arms unbearably, "Don't be so nervous... Even if you are a cruel human, you don't just die casually."

Garcia looked at him absently, his expression more helpless than Jiang Jianming, who was weak.

The prince murmured in a low voice: "But you... it looks like you're about to die." After a pause, he pressed his throat anxiously: "I don't know how to save you."

Jiang Jianming sighed and slowly raised his hand to pick up Garcia's drooping platinum strands. Under the long hair, those emerald eyes were dim and confused, and the light of the bonfire danced in the depths.

Alas, this is really intimidating...

Speaking of which, this person has only three years of memory, and he has been acting alone before, it should be the first time he has encountered such a situation, which is quite pitiful.

Jiang Jianming was somewhat dumbfounded, thinking to himself: Then again, how did the Black Shark Base and Yin Beidou instill common sense into an amnesiac prince—the disabled human beings are dying once they are injured?

He remembered that when Ryan was still there, he was too protective of him.

He firmly believed that, if it could be implemented, the little Highness would definitely want to trap himself in a safe and comfortable box, close the lid, and shut it up.

But at that time, it was not so exaggerated. One was because Ryan grew up in the imperial capital, and his common sense of disabled humans was still within the normal category.

Furthermore, Jiang Jianming admitted that his temper was not as good as it is now.

It was a young man with an unrestrained spirit, or a simple newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Back then, when he faced Ryan Kaios, who was the heir of the empire, he never followed his superiority and refused to give in.

Even sometimes Ryan annoyed him, he can really slap the face of the dignified crown prince and even rebuke him.

Jiang Jianming recalls the past now. Back then, he seemed to subconsciously feel that he was a commoner and the prince.

As a result, the little Highness became more and more afraid to provoke him. Even if he was blind, Ryan would at most mutter a few words angrily, and then hide to the side to become anxious and irritable. Security risks are ruled out again.

Thinking of the good old days, Jiang Jianming's expression softened slightly.

The wind and snow outside the cave was still roaring. He touched Garcia's curly hair and said warmly, "But you have already saved me, so I won't die."

Garcia looked up.

"Look," Jiang Jianming regained some energy now and sat up straight, "I'm much better now. Take a night's rest, and tomorrow I should be able to drive snow doves as usual."

Under the night and the bonfire, his pale cheeks were clearly outlined, and his dark and clear eyes were beautiful and vivid.

Garcia's expression was full of hesitation.

But Jiang Jianqing believed that he relaxed at least a little bit.

Because after a few minutes of silence, His Royal Highness began to talk about business.

In the crackling sound of the burning bonfire, Garcia quickly reiterated the fact that there were birds and alien creatures monitoring outside, and then said: "...These alien creatures have intelligence close to human, which has never been seen in Yin Beidou before. related reports."

"Also," he said, pressing his eyebrows and pondering, "the young leader of the lava, the speed of releasing the crystal ore is very fast, I couldn't stop it. It seems that he has received special training, or... release Many times, I am familiar with it."

Jiang Jianming leaned on the stone wall of the cave and asked, "I remember using the real crystal mine privately. Is it a serious crime in the empire?"

Garcia stretched out his hand to tighten the coat for him. The coat belonged to His Royal Highness: "Yes. If it causes a large-scale crystal chaos, the highest crime is death."

Jiang Jianming: "But if the crystal particles in the real crystal ore can be absorbed correctly, the power of the crystal bone can be enhanced."

There is no war in the empire, and few people take risks; however, on the group of cosmic pirates who make a living by fighting and plundering, this kind of life-threatening behavior seems to make sense.

Garcia shook his head and said, "I've played against Chilong a few times, and the previous lava didn't know this trick. Including mecha interference waves, high-intelligence alien creatures..." He said, his eyes became cold.

"You mean," Jiang Jianming said, "there are other forces behind Yu Thief..."

The black-haired young man raised his head suddenly, the flames illuminating his eyebrows, he looked at the wind and snow whistling outside, "No, Yin Beidou."

The surroundings seemed to be cold for no reason, Jiang Jianming's lips turned pale, and he looked at the prince solemnly.

"His Royal Highness, you said... We are now trapped here and cannot communicate with the fortress. There was such a dense storm of crystal particles on the cliff just now. Will Master Xie send someone to rescue?"

"!" Garcia held her breath, her eyes shaking.

Yes, if...if Yin Beidou sends a large number of soldiers into this area...

As the owner of the Super S Grade Crystal Bone, neither the mecha crash nor the release of the True Crystal Mine can help him.

But what about the ordinary soldiers of Yin Beidou?

Not to mention, the moment just before the cliff was enough for ordinary Yin Beidou soldiers and officers to instantly erupt into a large-scale acute crystal chaos, and all of them died on the spot in less than three minutes!

Obviously, both of them thought of the tragic scene. Jiang Jianming quickly turned on the wrist phone, closed his eyes and shook his head after a few seconds, "No... The communication can't be made, it must be hindered by the interference wave."

His eyes were a little scattered, he bowed and coughed twice, his breathing became disordered without knowing it, and whispered: "We must find a way to notify the fortress, otherwise it will be too late. Your Highness, where are we now..."

As he spoke, he staggered against the stone wall and tried to stand up, but halfway through, he groaned and slipped down.

"Ginger!" Garcia held him with quick eyes and quick hands.

"...Military General Association." Jiang Jianming gasped with his eyes closed, and said with difficulty, "It will be the day after tomorrow, if the first fortress is severely damaged at this point..."

The consequences will be unimaginable!

Jiang Jianming was pressed down by the prince and sat down again, he gritted his teeth, only to feel cold all over.

This is a very sophisticated and insidious game. In connection with the events of Beta Alien, the planners began to lay out the first chess piece at least a month or two ago.

But the target who really wants to ambush is not only them, but the whole Yin Beidou!

Jiang Jianming pulled out the projection of the three-dimensional map from his wrist phone. Fortunately, the map was still available. The bonfire nearby was indefinitely going out, and his eyes quickly wandered between the mountains and rivers.

"Where will it be..." He whispered to himself, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, "If the enemy wants to set up an ambush, there must be a fixed location, where."

"Ambush is about a surprise, so it can't be that cliff, it's probably in a more advanced location..."

Garcia tightened his shoulders, his eyes fell on the map, and he drew a line with his fingers: "If Yin Beidou sends a rescue team, the rescue team will definitely travel to that cliff, and the route will not be very big. offset."

Where... where... Jiang Jianming's breathing gradually became short, his thoughts turned at a high speed, every line on the map was intertwined in his mind, and each possibility came into being and shattered.

Suddenly, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and his fingers quickly clicked on a coordinate on the map like white lightning!

"—Your Highness, here."
