    Chapter 178 The bottom of the ruins (2)

    Inside the ruined fortress, twisted alien creatures crowded the narrow aisles. There are still a few lights on the floor that are not broken, and flicker on and off at the end.

    Why? Cold sweat slid into the collar along Jiang Jianming's neck.

    It's almost... as if they could collectively predict that they would come here!

    But no matter what the leaked traces are, the reality is already clear:

    Alien creatures are targeting them to surround them, the enemy will only gather more and more, and then it will only be difficult to move an inch.

    The crystal bone ring contains only one-tenth of Ryan's crystal particles. It is enough to deal with one or two enemies, five or six depends on his state, a dozen or so are already very difficult...

    But what if dozens and hundreds of alien creatures come to besieged?

    It's ridiculous, Jiang Jianming's thinking is very clear at this moment, and in this extremely rational state, the first thought that clearly emerges in his mind is:

    Basically, it's impossible to get out alive, and now it's too late to accompany Ryan to commit suicide, and you will suffer a lot less pain.

    If you want to leave some last words, you can use the crystal bone ring to carve the words on the floor.

    Thinking about the more than 20 years of ill-fated life, I have been worthy of myself to be able to go all the way here. The ending of being divided by alien creatures is too tragic, you can consider dying more decently.

    But when he finished thinking about this series in his mind, his body also finished the action:

    The crystal bone stretched out from the ring, covering the entire right arm, Jiang Jianming turned around and swept it, breaking the twisted door panel of the automatic door.

    The narrow path was blocked, so at least the alien creatures behind him could not get in for the time being.

    In the next second, there were at least a dozen alien creatures screaming and pounced.

    Jiang Jianming gritted his teeth, pushed Ryan behind him, and met the tide of monsters.

    fighting.

    The golden blade slid in through the bone seam of the alien creature, and directly lifted half of its head.

    The viscous evil blood poured down, and the rich crystal particles contained in it made his knees go soft in pain.

    fighting.

    He stepped on the bloody water under his feet, and he interrupted the crystal bone claws that stabbed diagonally from the right, and flew out with a "clang", piercing the other one above his head to the ceiling.

    fighting.

    He knows that he can't make mistakes for a moment. Unlike new humans, who have armor-like crystal bones for defense, injury is a precursor to death.

    But it can't be avoided. If you let the alien creature run behind... Ryan is still behind.

    The battle was long and hard.

    Jiang Jianming gasped for breath, his pale face was almost splattered with the blood of alien creatures.

    In fact, he basically has no experience in melee combat with cold weapons. No one... thinks that disabled humans need to learn this.

    Perhaps it was the beginning of the revolving light, and he vaguely remembered the hard nights of studying many years ago, and he was forced to faint in order to pass the assessment of the minor. Tang Zhenhuo rushed over in a hurry, scolded him for being an idiot when he opened his mouth, and was kicked out of the infirmary.

    He remembered that the long rain was beginning to rest that night, and the bright moon was like a jade.

    There was also the afternoon of sparring with Audrey at the Lance family's fencing ring. When the two of them came out sweating profusely, Diana was smiling at them with the black tea she brewed herself.

    He remembered the setting sun shedding light from the edge of the burning cloud, on the girl's cheeks and skirt.

    And his little prince.

    "...!"

    The flank suddenly scalded and then became icy cold.

    Jiang Jianming staggered forward for two steps, and out of the corner of his eye he saw the bloody pointed armor of the alien creature, which was his own blood.

    His little majesty...

    A clean library, accompanied by a long street. He sometimes reached out and rubbed the other person's head, and the young prince narrowed his eyes, and the jade-like eyes shone with a thin light.

    Maybe not so many years ago, but when recall it now, it seems like something from a previous life.

    His little highness should not accompany him to die in the dirty underground.

    - But life is as short as the morning dew since ancient times, and death never listens to people's wishes, it just comes unexpectedly.

    Excessive physical exertion made his arms tremble, and his breathing seemed to burst his lungs.

    Jiang Jianming bowed his head in the darkness, a stream of blood silently overflowed from the corners of his lips, and was forced to step back.

    He looked around with out-of-focus eyes.

    If you finally manage to blow up the ceiling and die with this group of alien creatures, and then use the crystal bone ring to protect Ryan's body, don't know how likely it is to be rescued.

    But there is no better choice.

    When he decided to die, the black-haired youth's face was pale and tired, but he was still calm, no different from when he pushed down the main gun firing rod just now.

    But at the next moment, suddenly—

    The alien creature in front of him froze for a few seconds, as if shocked by some sight.

    There was a sound of footsteps, and a familiar breath came from behind.

    Jiang Jianming's pupils tightened.

    There was another person's weight behind him.

    "temple……!?"

    There was a hard gasping sound and a faint muttering in the ear.

    It's like saying, don't be afraid.

    A cold hand gripped his right hand tightly.

    Across the red-gold crystal bone.

    East of the first fortress.

    The sun was setting, and the blazing light of the autocannon dissipated among the clouds, and several hours had passed.

    But the silence still lingers. The tragic and solemn beam of light seemed to be imprinted in the eyes of every soldier.

    "Xie Yuduo, what do you mean, you lost the two highnesses!?"

    Jin Min was screaming through the communication, the usually serious and prudent lieutenant general, but at this time he broke his voice: "You make it clear to me that you want to see people before you die... What's the situation now!!"

    "..."

    Xie Yuduo rested one hand between the messy hair, his face was gloomy and he didn't speak, and his eyes were already red when he looked closely.

    In the distance, Tang Zhen was crying and roaring to save people, "Don't fuck me! I go alone, it has nothing to do with you!"

    Beimaner was standing beside Tang Zhen and was arguing fiercely with Zheng Yue about something. The whole place was interspersed with various voices, making it chaotic.

    Xie Yuduo hunched his back and sat motionless.

    "You are usually reckless, the commander-in-chief spoils you, and we can't control you."

    In the communication, Lieutenant General Jin said in a sad voice, "But Xiao Xie, no matter how crazy you are, you should be clear in your heart..."

    "Even if you, me, and everyone in Yin Beidou are put on the line, they can't compare to the weight of the two His Royal Highnesses!"

    "The emperor of the empire is gone, you and I want... how do you explain it to His Majesty the Emperor, and how do you explain it to the people of the empire!?"

    Xie Yuduo said hoarsely, "I know."

    "..."

    "As a general of Yin Beidou," he muttered with lowered eyebrows, "being helpless in the face of a powerful enemy, forcing the lord to take risks with himself is all because of Xie someone's incompetence."

    Jimin lost his voice.

    Xie Yuduo is a young talent. His temperament is unrestrained and arrogant, but he is loyal and patriotic, and has many meritorious deeds. He has carried most of the glory of Yin Beidou.

    These generals, who were a generation older, either hated him as a thorn in their eyes, or disgusted him with their mouths, but indulged them without bottom line.

    Only Xie Yuduo can be late at the military headquarters and come in with a smile, only Xie Yuduo can dispatch troops without punishment without punishment...

    Under the acquiescence of the entire military, Major General Xie of the First Army of Yin Beidou can always have a bright light.

    Xie Yuduo, who is so decadent and low now, has never been seen before.

    Seeing his appearance, Jin Min couldn't say more, he could only shake his head and sigh: "You, alas! If you don't say anything, you should organize search and rescue as soon as possible. Again, life and death always have to..."

    But I heard Xie Yuduo continue to say: "—but I also know what the crown prince and the little lord died for."

    "at this point."

    Major General Xie stood up slowly, his eyes seemed to have a layer of ice, all of which were threatening cold light, "Lao Jin, the first fortress, I will take it back even if I die."

    "So for the ultimate victory... Now I will never do a pointless search and rescue, and I will not allow my soldiers to be shaken because of this."

    Jin Min was shocked and angry: "You!"

    Xie Yuduo smiled lightly, "Lao Jin, if I die too, remember to help me take care of my wife and daughter."

    After he said that, he reached out and cut off the communication.

    "Report!"

    At this time, a soldier hurriedly trotted over with a pale face: "Major General, alien creatures are here again, and the crystal teaching starship in Yuyu is also starting to move forward."

    Xie Yuduo's eyelids jumped.

    The Crystal Cults are actually ready to continue.

    One bishop was destroyed, so many crystal members died, and the opponent was obviously defeated, but he still hasn't retreated, and he is still continuing this suicidal crazy attack——

    What does this prove?

    Xie Yuduo's face changed, and he contacted the truth that His Highness told them before the war...

    Could it be that this is really saving energy for Crystal Nest? As long as enough crystal chaotic dead are created, the next wave of crystal chaotic tide may break out?

    But how can this be done? Xie Yuduo tapped his temple with a headache.

    All generals who have brought soldiers know that the battlefield relies on a brave man, and the more afraid of death, the easier it is to die.

    Once he, the general, orders the soldiers to save their lives first, will the morale of the Silver Big Dipper still be there, and will the imperial silver spear be as sharp as ever?

    Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the distance.

    When Xie Yuduo turned his head, he heard exclamations from among the soldiers!

    And the major general almost exclaimed in the next moment, his eyes widened suddenly, reflecting somewhere in the central area of ​​the fortress——

    It was a crystal bone glowing with red gold.

    They directly pierced the dark alloy outer wall, and reflected in the twilight quadrangle under the alien sky, magnificent and majestic.

    From a distance, you can see that the tip of each one is wearing the corpses of several alien creatures, as if it were a divine punishment.

    In a few seconds, the army that was dead just now suddenly became enthusiastic as if it had been reborn!

    However, Xie Yuduo stood blankly in front of the broken wall at the top of the fortress, numb all over.

    ——This is impossible, the major general thought in horror, regardless of the fact that His Highness was already wounded and repulsed when he fought with Margaret, let’s just say that the main gun…

    He knows the power of his main cannon best.

    No matter how inhuman their crown prince is, it is absolutely impossible for them to release such a powerful crystal bone after suffering that one!

    Xie Yuduo's face was tense: Now, who is the one who released the red-gold crystal bone...or rather, what! ?

    The central area of ​​the fortress, inside the ruined passageway.

    As the red gold crystal bones slowly closed, there was a constant muffled sound from the ceiling above. It was the sound of the corpses of alien creatures falling one by one.

    Ahead, there is already a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

    Those alien creatures who gathered to surround the two were all pierced by sharp crystal bones, and they were stacked crookedly.

    And the huge blazing golden crystal bones, like divine punishment, are being pulled away from the corpse without any hassle.

    The crystal bones folded back into the small ring.

    And the ring is set on the white ring finger.

    Ryan didn't know when he woke up.

    He couldn't stand at all, his entire popularity was crouching on Jiang Jianming's back like a thread, and the platinum curly hair was stacked in the back of the latter's neck.

    He also tightly held Jiang Jianming's right hand wearing the ring.

    Jiang Jianming's face was pale and his heart was beating like a drum. He helped Lean to stagger forward two steps, and the two of them sat down on the ground together.

    The ground was full of blood, and the sweet smell came from the nostrils, piercing the brain for a while.

    Jiang Jianming was confused.

    He stared blankly at the ring on his ring finger.

    "...Your Highness?"

    He called out softly.

    For a time, the dizziness reached the extreme.

    For about two or three minutes, Jiang Jianming's five senses were confused and the world was spinning.

    I couldn't see anything in front of me, only the sharp humming and the painful gasping of my own ears could be heard.

    "...Ryan?"

    Jiang Jianming saw only a large area of ​​darkness in his eyes, and he called again.

    The man in his arms responded with a low hum, and shook his hand weakly, and he really woke up.

    But this seemingly comforting action seemed to trigger some devil's curse.

    Suddenly, Jiang Jianming began to bend over and retire. He pinched his heart as if he was suffocating. His physiological tears fell, and his pale hands were trembling in the pool of blood.

    He convulsed, and suddenly he stood up and choked out a mouthful of blood. Mixed with the alien creatures in front of him, regardless of each other.

    The blood in front of him seemed to be shaking, shaking.

    Gradually distorted the shape.

    It became the dark blood in the crown of Jin Xiao.

    Jiang Jianming gasped in collapse.

    He doesn't actually know what happened.

    He didn't know why, but the crystal bone ring suddenly erupted with power comparable to Rai's heyday.

    That's by no means a tenth, at least 70%... no, it could have been 80%... or even higher...

    He didn't know and didn't want to know how this was done.

    This was the first time that Jiang Jianming was resisting with all his heart and was unwilling to face the truth.

    That's ridiculous.

    What about the summer afternoon when walked out of the gate of the military department coldly, and the late night of the torrential rain that took the initiative to suffer from crystal chaos?

    What about the morning breeze of Aslan that passed by before departure, and the vast starry sky that he saw in the mecha when he said he was angry?

    Along the way, his determination, his decisiveness, and even his heartlessness when he told His Highness that I have no regrets—where have they gone! ?

    He didn't want to know.

    But he has something to know.

    For example, he knows that crystal particles are deeply integrated with humans, and forcibly pulling them apart is not only painful, but also extremely technically difficult.

    Twenty percent is the limit for a living person.If it is pulled away to 50%, the whole person's flesh and bones will be torn apart.

    For example, he also knew about Ryan's death in Crystal Nest.

    He had seen the images, the boy who was no longer handsome, the torn flesh, the torn abdominal cavity, the half-crushed organs and the dislocated bones.

    Another example, as early as the beginning of all the changes, he couldn't understand and asked the little highness.

    Why go to the crystal nest alone, such an unintentional act, is no different from suicide.

    is suicide.

    It's smashed to pieces.

    is to peel off almost all the crystal particles.

    Crystal particles have been sleeping in his ring.

    So, when he desperately didn't want to know.

    He actually already knew.

    Jiang Jianming fainted.
