The strong light emitted by the main cannon penetrated the clouds of alien stars.

Large pieces of white crystals fell one after another.

These are all the remaining scenes in Jiang Jianming's impression.

Lai An was also counting the time silently in his heart. When the main gun was fully charged, he gathered the crystal bones and turned to protect his body; Margaret lost his balance and fell forward, and then the strong light penetrated thea piece of sky.

The second Jiang Jianming pushed the launch lever, he rushed into the snow dove to save people.But it was still too difficult, the energy from the cannon directly sent Lai An flying.Those few seconds can be regarded as a thought of life and death, and the trajectory calculated by his intellectual brain cut across the past life and death.

In a hurry, there was only time to cover Lai An's body with the snow dove's shield, and then the mecha crashed into the dilapidated fortress building.

Collapse, fall, impact...buried.

Consciousness flies away briefly.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Jianming pushed open the twisted cockpit door and climbed out of the completely scrapped snow dove in the dead silence.

The surroundings were dim, with overlapping steel bars and rubble overhead.He panted with slack eyes, and blood trickled down the bridge of his nose.

Jiang Jianming knelt at the bottom of the ruins, reached out to lift the shield protruding from the mech, but couldn't lift it, and finally pried it open with his shoulder.

Jiang Jianming carried out the motionless body underneath.

"Your Highness." He said hoarsely, "Lai An, wake up..."

Chu Jun closed his eyes lifelessly, and his body was covered with a layer of red gold crystal bones, but they fell off as if weathered with a light touch, like withered dried flowers.

Blood kept gushing out, and twisted crystals kept tearing open the flesh, like parasites biting through every inch of flesh.

The out-of-control crystal particles are rapidly eating away at him.

Jiang Jianming felt dizzy for a while. He gritted his teeth and managed not to collapse. He took out the tranquilizer he carried with him and gave him five consecutive injections. At this time, he couldn't care about the problem of overdose.

Then he took off his coat and wrapped Lai An tightly, leaning against the broken ruins, and hugged her in his arms.

The wrist phone was also broken, and Seth Henry couldn't call out.In the dark, he pressed his wrist, closed his eyes, and counted his pulse... After waiting for an hour, he continued to inject sedatives.

——That's all he can do.

The hot and humid blood in his arms quickly froze under the temperature of Alien Alpha.

Jiang Jianming's consciousness gradually became hazy, and he began to cough up blood again, his whole body ached, and he continued to tremble, only the pulse number he was counting remained in his ear.

Boom, boom... beating rapidly.

In the dense environment of crystal particles and the severe cold, the body and mind were exhausted to the limit, and then suffered a huge mental stimulation.All this works on a handicapped human suffering from chronic crystal disorder.

Of course, there is nothing strange about causing seizures, and it is not normal to even have seizures.

Under the dark ruins, there was gradually a disordered panting sound.

Jiang Jianming was dizzy from the pain, he pressed his forehead between Lai An's messy curly hair, this person is cold now and can't warm him.

Lai An is still in his arms, he can't...can't die yet.

As time passes, the pulse rate is superimposed.

The empty needle fell to the ground, making a very soft echo.

Later, this obsession became blurred, and I didn't even know who I was or where I was.Jiang Jianming kept having hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, and kept repeating the process of falling into a semi-coma and struggling to wake up.

In a daze, he even felt that his consciousness floated out of the body several times, and was dragged back into this broken body by something.

Not yet... not yet.

I do not know how long it has been.

Something cool settles on the eyelids.

"..."

On the ruins of the ground, the black-haired young man tilted his head and leaned on a broken iron-gray beam.

Suddenly, his chest rose and fell rapidly, his pupils rolled slightly under his eyelids, and he choked weakly twice, "...cough..."

After struggling for a few seconds, Jiang Jianming finally opened his eyes wearily, looking through the layers of steel and rubble lazily, looking at the high sky...

Oh, it's snowing.

Scattered snow is falling from the clouds.

Jiang Jianming barely moved, and the toe of his shoe kicked the empty needle tube on the ground.

His eyes moved down slowly, Lai An was still lying in his arms.He put the person in another position and hugged him in his arms, stretched out his hand to brush away the curly platinum hair, and wiped the blood on His Highness's face with his sleeve.

The crystallization phenomenon on Lai An's body has subsided a lot, and her breathing and heartbeat are very weak. Fortunately, she is still stable... Although she is still unconscious, the most dangerous moment has passed.

And he himself seemed to have recovered a little bit, perhaps because the lethargy just now had accumulated a little strength for his life, at least now his mind is clear, and his hands and feet can move.

Of course, the possibility of flashbacks cannot be ruled out.

Hope not, he thought to himself.

Jiang Jianming leaned over to Lai An's ear and called twice, but he gave up when he couldn't wake him up.

Next... but what should do?

He let out a long breath, and looked up at the snow-falling sky in a daze.

The next moment, a shadow loomed above his head.

An alien creature whose head was full of tumors and crystal blocks suddenly poked its head out from among the piles of rubble, grinning out its jagged mouthparts!

Jiang Jianming's scalp exploded suddenly. He first subconsciously turned to protect Lai An in his arms, and at the same time drew the gun with his right hand. There were two loud bangs, and the bullets penetrated the alien creature's mouth and head respectively.

Unexpectedly, the vitality of this thing was extremely tenacious. Instead of dying, it twitched its body frantically—it fell straight from a high place and landed tens of meters in front of him!

No... can't deal with it with a pistol, and now don't have any supplies, and a dozen new crystal weapon bullets will be useless if they are empty.

Jiang Jianming gritted his teeth, and the Wings of Venus fell to the ground, while carefully placing the unconscious Lai An on the ground.

He held out his empty right hand.On the ring finger, the red gold ring turned into a sharp blade.

...

ten minutes later.

The corpses of alien creatures were separated, and bodily fluids and broken crystals were splashed everywhere.

Jiang Jianming staggered back to Lai An's side, his face was pale and he was panting messily.

Before today, he would never have imagined that he, an amorphous race, would have to fight alien creatures in hand-to-hand combat one day.

Handicapped humans can't, at least shouldn't...

Jiang Jianming lost his strength and sat down on the ground. His body felt cold for a while, and soon began to cough again.

In the dimness, he stared blankly at the stump of the alien creature, and finally realized how troublesome he was now.

Now the concentration of crystal particles in the central area is too high, except that Lai An possesses high-level crystal bones with super S grades, which can withstand it, and only a chronic crystal disorder patient like him can be protected from sudden death by taking three generations of tranquilizers.

In other words, it is basically impossible for imperial troops to come in.Even if they could come in, the remaining surviving congregants of Crystal Cult would definitely not let them in easily.

Major General Xie must have wished to exchange his life for the two Highnesses, but he is the general of the fortress, so he cannot lose his mind in this situation—if not, the major general would not have given the unlock code to him in the end.over him.

To sum it up in one sentence: external rescue cannot be counted on in the short term.

Now they are trapped here, without food, water, clothing, medicine, weapons and mechs, and only alien creatures scurrying around; if they want to survive, they must get out of here as soon as possible.

The problem is, now they—

One is a seriously wounded man who is unconscious, and whose crystal bones are consumed to the point that he almost eats himself back to death, so even if he wakes up, he cannot have any combat power.

The other is a disabled human suffering from chronic crystal disorder.

Jiang Jianming looked at his ring finger for a while, and thought to himself: Among them, the most reliable combat power should be this ring.

If he died here now, he could exchange this ring to become a spirit, and take Lai An out smoothly, he would definitely accept it happily.

Unfortunately, there are no such cheap things in the world.

Jiang Jianming panted, closed his eyes and opened them again. He groped and pulled out an angular stone from among the ruins, and began to quickly draw a map of the fortress on the ground.

The top has collapsed, and it is impossible to climb up with Lai An with his physical strength, so he can only try to get out from the lower floor.

It's best to find a usable mecha on the way, then you can drive over.

If it doesn't work, let's go bravely. Anyway, all the crystal cultists in the central area should die in chaos, so it's not impossible to walk to the eastern or northern area by foot.

After Jiang Jianming drew the rough map, he quickly calculated the structure that would be produced after the collapse and their current approximate coordinates, and memorized the places where supplies might be obtained along the way.

After making all possible preparations, he kissed Lai An's forehead and said softly, "Your Highness, hold on, we're leaving."

He picked up Lai An on his back, stepped on the uneven ground, and walked forward.

Footsteps echoed hollowly.

Jiang Jianming couldn't help thinking to himself: don't know what's going on outside, is Margaret completely dead?

Crystal Cult committed suicide so many people, in fact, its strength should be greatly reduced. Will the military have the upper hand?

Even if it doesn't win immediately, it will be much easier.

If he could bring His Highness out alive, and the moment he saw the light again, he would receive the news that the war had been won, how great would that be?

That would be perfect.

In front of it is a narrow opening. In the dark, it looks like an automatic door that has been deformed under pressure.

Jiang Jianming held the door frame to catch his breath for a while, thinking that his physical strength was really too weak.

Not only because of his illness, but also because of the cold, hunger and thirst for such a long time, the high-intensity mental tension, and the exhaustion of fighting.

But that's just the beginning.

In this extreme situation, it is impossible for him to sleep with his eyes closed next.He was afraid that if he fell asleep, he would fall into a coma, and he wouldn't be able to wake up if alien creatures came to attack him.

Jiang Jianming walked through the door, but suddenly stopped in his footsteps.

On the opposite side, dense alien creatures were entrenched in the depths of the corridor, and there were several fuzzy black shadows hanging on the ceiling above their heads, and their scarlet eyes stared coldly at the comers.

There was a rustling sound behind him, as if alien creatures were also approaching.

Jiang Jianming looked cold.

He found that they were surrounded.
