soul bondage

"This is?" I looked at everything around me, the loud crowd, the constant traffic and the gray sky.I looked to the left, and a few hundred meters away was an overpass standing quietly, not dismantled as it had been badly damaged in the attack.

At this time, I felt two familiar voices behind me.

"What are you looking at?"

"meteor."

I stared at myself five years ago and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Could it be that?"

The crowd began to commotion, and I turned my head to watch more and more red meteors falling in the gray sky.I push my way through the bustling crowd, but no one else takes a second look at my strange attire.

If I remember correctly, the first wave of airdrops were not soldiers, but...

Then a red meteor rushed to the ground and exploded in front of my eyes.Immediately afterwards, all the vehicles lost control, and all the lights on the street were extinguished.A few faint red lights flickered on my body, and all the electronic equipment in Beru's suit also failed.Now that I've lost my shields, optical camouflage, and all of my support systems, it looks like I'm in big trouble.

At this time, a bicycle rushed out from the left side. Without thinking, I ran over and grabbed the person in the car. The bicycle wobbled forward a few meters and fell on the road.

"What are you doing?" Before he finished speaking, a speeding car ran over the bicycle on the road a few steps ahead.

"Everyone, run away, don't look around anymore, if you don't leave, it will be too late!" I put down the student and yelled at the crowd.

Around us, more and more airborne pods fell to the ground, some exploded directly, and some airborne pods walked out of several Lorgar airborne soldiers.

The crowd was completely out of control now, regardless of men, women, old or young, rushed onto the road full of car wreckage, and the screams made the whole scene extremely chaotic.

"Don't run blindly on the road, you will be crushed to death. Go find a nearby subway station." I kept shouting, but my voice was completely drowned out by the surrounding noise.

I looked back to find my other self, only to find that he had already gone away on his bike.I gritted my teeth helplessly and walked the other way, hoping I could catch up this time.

When I sprinted forward several hundred meters and came to a crossroad, several Lorgar paratroopers were shooting and killing fleeing civilians.I hid behind an SUV whose hood was belching smoke, and raised my gun to take aim only to find that the optical sight was no longer working.

"Damn it!" I cursed and unfolded the spare mechanical sight, analyzing the current situation.

Now I have neither a shield nor an invisibility, and a direct firefight is tantamount to suicide, and I can't use optical camouflage to touch their backs.It seems that there are only two options now, either to sneak away, or use these scrapped vehicles as a cover to slowly advance and eliminate them one by one, but this way I may not be able to rescue my parents.

Just as I was struggling, an old man who was pulling a child was hit by a few stray bullets and fell on his back.The child fell to his knees beside him, weeping.At this time, a Lorca man raised his gun not far away, but fell down covering his bleeding wound before firing.

I used the assault rifle to suppress the firepower while firing non-stop, and ran towards the child quickly.

A few Lorcas along the way were killed before they realized what was going on. I rushed over to pick up the child and flashed behind a bus. Before I could stand still, a black sphere flew towards me. fell behind me.

When the grenade exploded I curled up and hugged the child tightly to my chest and put my arms around his head and body.Dozens of steel pieces from the grenade flew towards me, most of which were blocked by the liquid bulletproof interlayer of the tactical vest and Beru's suit, but a few steel pieces still hit the weak point of Beru's suit, Cut my calf and elbow.Regardless of the pain of the wound, I quickly stood up and fired two rounds of bursts through the glass of the bus. The enemy who threw the gun at me and another guy with a short-barreled carbine were knocked to the ground by the bullets.

"Hey little one, are you okay?" I said to the shocked kid.The child nodded. Although he was frightened, fortunately his body was not injured.

"Listen to me carefully, wait for my signal later, as soon as I open fire, you run to the residential building on the right, go in and find an empty basement or garage to hide. Remember not to make a sound, wait for the rescuers I came to see you. Do you understand?"

The little boy nodded.I walked to the other end of the bus in a half-squat, and lay down on the ground.There are a total of ten enemies here, five of which were killed just now, and the remaining five already know my location, and now the enemies are slowly approaching me, but their eyes still stay at the place where I fired last time.From the exchange of fire just now, it can be seen that these guys have no shields. I guess these guys are not the main force of the Lorgars. I am afraid that they are just a desperate company composed of criminals sent by the Lorgars to reduce casualties. A group of people without human rights victim of.

I got up and removed the holographic grenade sight on the guide rail and stuffed it into the storage bag of the tactical waistband. At the same time, I took out the folded mechanical grenade sight, installed it, unfolded it, and measured the impact point.Waiting for them to get closer.

"Run!" I yelled and pulled back the firing ring of the grenade launcher with my index finger. A 40mm grenade flew out and landed at the feet of several Lorcas. After the grenade exploded, it released a hot blast. The radiation field turned the two Lorgars into blood mist.I pulled the trigger and poured the bullets out. While aiming, I watched from the corner of my eye the unknown child disappear into the dark alley.

With the help of the cover formed by the car, I moved quickly while shooting. When all the bullets in the magazine were fired, only one Lorca was still firing at me, but his marksmanship was really bad, and the bullets flew everywhere. Both are.I waited until he was halfway out of cover again and fired two bursts, hitting him in the stomach and thigh.The Lorgar screamed and fell to the ground.I threw the assault gun that had run out of bullets behind me, took out the gun and pointed it at the stubborn enemy on the ground. Two bullets passed through his forehead and right cheek and were deeply embedded in the ground.

After the smoke cleared, I couldn't use the life detector on the ICT, so for safety reasons, I shot each enemy again before leaving, and now they can't hurt anyone anymore.

I left the crossroads and walked quickly onto the sidewalk. Too much time wasted trying to get rid of the scumbags. If I'm going to get home before the Lorgars, I can't do more...

"Help, is there anyone who can help me?" A miserable voice came into my ears, and I stopped to look for the location of the voice.

"What's going on?" I ran to a young man holding a young woman in his arms who was bleeding from her forehead, and the blood dripped slowly on his plaid shirt.Wait, no!The blood did not flow from the woman's forehead, but gradually spread from his abdomen.

"Just now a person-tall object fell from the sky and just hit a passing car. We couldn't dodge before we were..."

"Let me see your wound." I cut open the blood-stained clothes with the claw knife, and a stream of blood came out from around a two-finger-wide car fragment.

"My God, you must receive treatment immediately, otherwise you will die from excessive blood loss." I took out a tube of emergency ointment from the tactical vest and applied it evenly to his wound, but for some reason the transparent green ointment did not Congealed in the wound, but melted into the crimson blood.I shook the ointment tube a few times in a panic, and then tried again, but it still didn't work.

"Damn, put this over the wound." I grabbed a synthetic tampon from my right leg pouch and handed it to him. It contained hemostatic and painkillers, but I wasn't sure about such a trauma. How effective is the area hemostatic cotton?From it I took out a small roll of hemostatic bandages and a small piece of tampon.I applied the hemostatic cotton to the wound on the woman's forehead, and then wrapped two bandages. At the same time, I took out a multifunctional knife from the pocket on my right arm and cut off the bandage, completing the basic first aid measures.But in this way, if I get injured, the remaining first aid supplies may not be enough.Forget it, never mind him, saving people is the most important thing.

"I just dealt with it briefly, but you must seek medical attention as soon as possible, otherwise your life will still be in danger." I carried the young woman on my back. There is a hospital nearby. Now all the communication equipment has failed due to the electromagnetic pulse, and even if Even if there are communication equipment, transportation has become a decoration, and the only way is to go there on foot.

"There are still a lot of aliens on the street. Do as I said, and I will take you as far as possible to bypass them." I said to the young man, but at this time the man's consciousness had gradually blurred due to excessive blood loss, and he knelt on the ground Couldn't stand up and walk at all.I looked towards the burning street, hoping that there would be a few pedestrians passing by at this moment.

At this time, an office worker holding a briefcase ran towards me. I waved at him vigorously as if I saw a straw, but the guy took a look at me and ran away quickly.

"Officer, help!" At this moment, two traffic policemen wearing white police caps were talking loudly into the walkie-talkie and walking towards this side. I just called out to them when a black figure suddenly appeared behind them.

"Be careful!" As soon as I finished speaking, the black shadow flickered a few times, and then a silver dagger slit the throat of a traffic policeman. Just as the other traffic policeman was about to resist, the black shadow pulled out his short The shotgun blasted off half of his body.I raised my assault rifle and shot at the black figure, but they were all bounced off by the green glowing shield on his body.The shadow slowly approached.It was getting dark and I couldn't see his face clearly, I kept shooting at the shadowy figure with my assault rifle, but the dozens of bullets on him didn't even slow him down.Then the shadow finally came to me, he looked at me quietly, a black dragon-shaped skull was engraved on the folded helmet visor.The guy in the bronze combat uniform looked at me first, then at the two wounded.

"I'll help you." He pointed his gun at them and fired two bullets.

"No!" I smashed the butt of the assault rifle at him, but he easily dodged it.Rage and self-blame drive me mad, I snarl and attack him, but no matter what I do, he always easily dodges at the last minute.His smug laughter pierced my eardrums and pierced my heart.I swung my fist hard at him, and he grabbed my hand and pressed it down, and then kicked me down with a roundabout kick.

"You bastard!" As soon as I took out the gun and was about to shoot him, I slammed my foot on my wrist and crushed it with the sole of my foot. The disgusting laughter sounded so familiar.

"You are not a good thing in your bones, Chu Mingyu. You are a burden in the eyes of your relatives, a scum in the eyes of your teachers and classmates, and the scum of the bottom of society. Do you think you can draw a clear line from the past by changing your skin? No No matter what you become, as long as you are the archangel or Chu Mingyu, you are just a loser who deceived himself and others." He said with a big laugh.

"What the hell are you?" I'm no longer sure what the monster in front of me is. He looks so evil and cruel, but it's frighteningly familiar.

"Who am I? Haven't you figured it out yet? I'm that stray dog ​​who is insane in people's eyes!" He grabbed me by the neck with his right hand and lifted me up, through the filter that was stained red by blood stains I stared at his black helmet slowly opened and folded back, an all-too-familiar face appeared in front of me, except that he didn't have red pupils like mine, and there were no protruding black blood vessels on his face and neck .

"You are just my illusion! You are just my demon!"

"Here I am the real existence, and Chu Mingyu is the real existence! And you, the Archangel, are just a poor lonely family with no teammates, no high-tech equipment, and no direction. By the way, the The child really believes in you, but it's a pity." He covered his mouth with his left hand and whispered in a low voice: "The way he begged before he died really made me sick."

I clamped his wrist with both hands while grasping his little finger with my left hand and snapping it outward.As soon as his hand was loosened, I stepped on his thigh with my right foot and slammed into his chin with my left knee, causing him to lose his center of gravity and fall heavily to the ground.

"Look, this is the real Chu Mingyu. You are the pure Chu Mingyu who tore off the mask of hypocrisy." He laughed and looked at me, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

I pulled out the claw knife, pressed the blade against his throat and pressed down hard.

"I'm not you! I'm a human, not a beast!" I got up from the ground and looked at the corpse in front of me, but I questioned myself in my heart, how different is this guy on the ground from me, or is it like he said that I and him are the only ones? The only difference is that I wear a mask of hypocrisy.

Now I don't have all the electronic devices, and I can only rely on the heat sensing ability of my eyes to move forward in the dark streets.The wound on my left shoulder was getting more and more painful, but I didn't dare to overuse the emergency ointment with anesthesia effect. If I encountered a combat, my left arm would be killed due to numbness.

I clutched my left shoulder and ran towards home. Along the way, because the road was too dark, I tripped over corpses on the ground several times. I felt the muscles all over my body were sore and burning, but I didn't want to stop and rest.Even if it's just a dream, I want to be able to protect them with my arms, just like they protected me when I was a child.

From the dilapidated streets, I vaguely recognized what they used to look like.I have lived in this city since I was born, and every bush and every brick here bears my past, but all this has been destroyed by the Lorgar.There is no reason, no remorse, everything is just for the benefit of the race. When they launched this attack, it is estimated that some people still have some kind of sad sense of honor in their hearts, but when they raised their weapons to massacre my compatriots I will never forget the crime I committed.I will never be like those angry youths who make a few flags and forward a few messages and then force others to join them in shouting those meaningless beautiful words, let alone show my lust in a way that hurts innocent alien immigrants, I We will use our own actions to prove that human beings are definitely not lambs to be slaughtered, and we are stronger than other races imagined.

I speeded up my pace and rushed forward. There were still Lorgar soldiers making trouble along the way. In order to clear the main passage through the hospital for later people, I deliberately fired a few shots to expose my position and attract the three waves of enemies along the way.These idiots were fooled and ran over. I deliberately stayed for a while when I was about to enter an alley, so that the distance between them and me would be a little closer. When the enemy was less than 100 meters away from me, I entered the dark alley. middle.

I ran more than ten meters into the alley, turned around and lay down on the ground, put the gun against my shoulder and put my fingers on the trigger guard while holding a microwave gun in my right hand.

The sound of the enemy was getting closer, I held my breath and pressed the detonation button of the gun, waited for two seconds, and then threw it on the wall.The grenade bounced off the wall and landed at the foot of the enemy who had just arrived, before it exploded before hitting the ground.

The enemies under attack retreated one after another and wanted to leave the orange-red high-temperature zone. I took advantage of their chaos and kept shooting until they all fell down. I waited patiently for a few seconds, and changed the magazine after making sure that no one was there. walked out quickly.

Unexpectedly, there was an enemy who escaped by chance in the corner. As soon as I came out, he raised his carbine and aimed at me. I grabbed the barrel and pulled it forward, and hit him in the lower abdomen with a hand knife.He bent down in pain, and I took the opportunity to pull the body of the gun with both hands and pull the muzzle to his head and press the enemy's trigger finger.

Finally, after a lot of hardships, I returned to the place where I lived for 15 years.I looked at the dilapidated residential building burning raging fire, the body of a security guard fell on the ground at the entrance of the community, his head had been smashed into pieces.

At this time, the familiar piano music sounded in my ears again, but this time it was not from the headset. My headset had already been on strike due to electromagnetic pulse.The white figure appeared again, she stopped in the firelight and looked at me, although her lips did not move, but I clearly heard soft words floating into my ears.

"It's too late, kid."

"No!" I rushed over, she smiled and turned around and disappeared into the flames.

Suddenly, an airborne pod hit a place only ten meters away from me, and the powerful impact knocked me to the ground.Everything in front of my eyes was a blurry double image, and my ears were buzzing, but I still forced myself to sit up from the ground, and the strong dizziness made me feel like I was about to vomit.With two clicks, the sealed door of the airborne cabin slowly opened, and I saw the calves of several double Lorgars covered in black carapace. Before they found me, I pointed the grenade launcher in the direction of the hatch and fired A microwave grenade, the grenade passed through the opening of the hatch door and smashed into the cabin. It is estimated that the enemy inside had not realized what was falling on the ground, and it was instantly dissolved by the high-temperature radiation field generated by the grenade. After a while, white heat radiated from the scorched airborne capsule.

Before the dizziness subsided completely, I staggered up from the ground and strode towards the residential building where I lived.

When I opened the green-painted iron door, the long music came from the corridor again.Considering the limited space, I simply removed the heavy-duty barrel and optical sight of the assault weapon and put them in the sundry bag behind my waist. A 14.5-inch barrel assault weapon turned into a barrel like this Only 10-inch carbine.

I followed the music and walked up.The corridor was pitch black, and I used my heat sensor to carefully move upstairs, praying in my heart that no object emitting heat would attack me.When I tiptoed to the sixth floor, I could clearly feel that the sound was coming from Room 862. Behind this door was the home I had lived in for 15 years.

I took off the helmet, hoping that the reconstruction surgery would not affect the facial recognition system. After being scanned by a beam of blue light, the door opened with a snap, and a white light in the darkness overflowed from between the gaps in the door.Putting on the helmet, I swallowed and opened the door, stepping into the dazzling white light.
