Symbiote Ninth

In the very center of the fire, there was even a little bit of inconspicuous residual heat that had not dissipated. Link stood on the spot and looked into the distance. In front of him was a rough and narrow road, covered by the wind and snow. Began to look around, but there were no other clues.

Standing still, Lin Ke thought silently. He knew that he seemed to know something he shouldn't know. Dutan didn't want him to investigate everything related to those two crazy animals. After the matter is over, even Du Tan will not let him investigate the matter of the Free Army. After returning, Du Tan will naturally have ways to restrict his actions. As for Lin Yitai—— Du Tan knows that Link is unwilling to involve his brother came in.

Looking back at the three soldiers he brought over, Link made a decision in his mind. He took the men back to the camp, and they were working with instruments. Unlike the old-fashioned pumping machines, this machine has a lot of power. , high efficiency and small size, they can complete sampling in a short time.Subsequent mining work may be more difficult, because the machines used for mining are much bulkier and may not be able to approach the target location as quickly as they do.

After the machine started, they didn't want others to stare at them. They gathered together and chatted. When Link came back, they all shut up tacitly.

Link connected to Dutan's call again. Dutan seemed to be in a bad mood, wondering what Link was going to do to him again.Link said: "Admiral Du, I'm here to report the progress of the mission. The oil field has started sampling, and the sampling will be completed in less than five hours. There are no casualties."

"Very good." Du Tan's expression suddenly relaxed, and he was usually amiable again. "Protecting your own safety is the most important thing. The natural environment in the occupied area is dangerous. You should complete the mission as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible. Lieutenant Qi and I both I am very worried about you."

"Just now at coordinates W15, column N2, we found traces of human fire. The nearby terrain is very suitable for hiding. The natural environment here is harsh, and there are no natural resources that can make a living. I don't think there are ordinary people living in It's near here, so I highly suspect that the Freedom Army is operating near here."

The amiability on Du Tan's face froze. He remembered that this was an order he had given to Link. Once there were any suspicious clues, he must be investigated to the end.

"Are there any other clues besides the bonfire?" Dutan asked him.

"No."

"Then this is not a clue." Du Tan said, "Don't increase unnecessary casualties, and be sure to come back immediately. Also, I repeat, bury the corpses of those two animals on the spot and don't bring them back."

Link already knew it in his heart, and he felt a little disappointed—he used to really think Dutan was a very respectable superior.

"But the situation with those two animals is clearly very abnormal. If we let this matter go unchecked, what will happen if the virus spreads to residential areas? And this is a situation that we have never encountered before. I really There is no guarantee that this virus - if it is indeed a virus, it will not affect us because of the distance."

"Link." Du Tan's expression changed, "I'll ask you again, do you have to intervene in this matter?"

"I can't sit idly by," Link said.

The call was hung up, only the noise from the pumping unit at work and the sound of wind and snow wandered nearby, which seemed abrupt and restless in this empty land, the sky was gray, and Link could hardly see the distant landscape.

About 10 minutes later, everyone's communicators rang together, and the chaotic beeping made the atmosphere uneasy. Everyone hurriedly took out the communicators, connected, it was a shared channel, and the initiator was Qi Shijing.

Qi Shijing was holding a piece of paper in his hand, as if he was holding something important. He smirked and said, "Time is running out, so I'll get straight to the point. Since Link has repeatedly disobeyed the orders of his superiors, the superiors have decided to temporarily withdraw the paper." As his captain, the acting captain was assumed by Piggy Man. Everyone except Link continued to carry out oil field sampling tasks. Link went to the coordinates of W15 vertical, near the N2 column, and tried his best to trace the clues of the Freedom Army. The natural environment in the occupied area is harsh. , The oil field mission does not know how many days it will last, in order to ensure the survival of other soldiers, Link can only take his own supplies when he leaves."

He showed Du Tan's signed permission to everyone, and posted it very close, for fear that others might not see it clearly.

More than a dozen voices of Qi Shijing were superimposed, like some annoying remix, the expression of the piggy bank changed, it was unbelievable, and there was some uncontrollable ecstasy.

Link and Piggy Bank answered "yes" together, and Piggy Bank's voice was much louder than Link's.

"Link, oh Link." Qi Shijing looked helpless, "You can't live without doing your own crimes.

Hanging up the call, no one said a word, piggy bank looked at Link, remembered how he saved himself three years ago, he was a little uncomfortable, but he saw Freesia standing beside Chenghe again, last night Link The words that scolded him in public entered his mind again—it was evened out, and he thought to himself, this is the meaning of the above, and I can't help it.

Thinking of this, Piggy made up his mind. He looked at Link frankly, and even felt that Link was a bit hideous.

"Captain—oh, no, Link." Piggy Bank said, "Please take that wolf off the cart and bury it on the spot."

As soon as he finished speaking, the anchor bolts of the pumping unit made a loud creaking sound. Link went over to take a look, and it was obvious that they were lazy when they were working and did not fix it properly. He said, "I can't do it anymore." It's time to stop and re-fix, and the brakes and other parts have to be re-checked."

Since the pumping unit is too big to take away, they are disassembled and brought in the aircraft. The structure of this machine is complicated, and it is easy to cause problems when reinstalling.

Piggy Man was very dissatisfied that he did not straighten his position, so when others stepped forward to stop the machine, he stopped the other party and scolded: "Who is the captain? He is?"

The other party stopped in embarrassment, and his full prosthetic eye spun around. He stretched out his hand and pushed the other party away, but the good eye was fixed on Link, with fierce and indifferent eyes.

"What the hell do you mean, you?" Cheng He stood up.

"Chenghe!" Link stopped him, "Forget it.

He walked to the car, Cheng He followed, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"

"Dutan has a problem." Link didn't answer him directly, but whispered: "If you go back safely, try to minimize direct contact with him, and don't tell him too much about what happened here."

"Don't tell me that you are really going to find some clues yourself!" Cheng He was startled, "He made it clear that he doesn't want you to go back alive, can't you see it?"

"Of course I can see it."

"Then you still go!" Cheng He's tone was urgent, "You just go back with us, what the hell will the piggy bank do to you? Does he dare to stop you from getting on the aircraft?"

"I can't go back with you." Link said: "If I really took that wolf on the aircraft, Dutan will probably prevent none of us from going back, believe it or not? Your sixth sense is right Yes, Du Tan is not a simple person."

"Then don't bother with this business!"

Link gave him a deep look.

"...Forget it, fuck it." Cheng He was very irritable, "Then what should I do? I'll go with you, can you ask your brother to give you a back door or something? I just want to see you being scolded because of him Now, why didn't you get any benefits?"

"Let's talk about it. I can't contact him directly now. He's participating in a secret activity recently." Link said, "You can't go with me. Besides, can you rest assured that the Holy Spirit will follow them back with the piggy bank?"

Chenghe turned his head to look at Freesia standing not far away, and his heart suddenly jumped.

"Then let's go together." Cheng He said very confidently, "Take the Son with us, Du Tan won't disagree, right?"

"The more people there are, the higher my chances of survival are. Why would he agree? And if the four of us walk by force, do you know what kind of behavior it is? Even if you go with me, the nature is completely different Yes, don't be impulsive, you have to go back, try to contact my brother, and keep an eye on Du Tan and Qi Shijing."

The atmosphere between the two became colder a little bit.

Cheng He: "We can complete the task tomorrow morning at the latest. Find a place sheltered from the wind and wait for me. Anyway, you have tents and supplies. I will come back to find you as soon as possible. No matter what, it will not exceed three days."

Link nodded.

The loose anchor bolts were retightened, and the piggy bank was checked up and down again, as if very satisfied with the fact that he could call the shots.

The machine restarted, and it was evening in a blink of an eye. Everyone sat around and ate dinner. It was still the same compressed biscuits and cans. After eating, they got up and went back to the car. Link.

"Link." Piggy Bank said, "We're going back soon."

The meaning in his words couldn't be more obvious, Link didn't talk nonsense, got up and put the tent and food in his bag, Chenghe threw the empty can in his hand with a bang, turned around and went to the car to take the rest All the food was brought out.

"..." Piggy Bank said, "What are you doing?"

"We're going to leave tomorrow morning at the latest. We're afraid that we won't have food when we go back? We can't die if we miss a meal, right?" Cheng He gave Link all the food, "I thought you were a bit annoying before. Son, it’s a person after all, now that I think about it, I really think highly of you, what did you say when Link rescued you? Now that you’re an acting captain, you want him to die quickly, don’t you?”

Piggy Man turned into anger from embarrassment, rushed over and grabbed his collar, "What did you say?"

Cheng He didn't do anything, he thought it was a waste of time to do anything with Piggy Bank.

Link didn't care about the two of them, he got up and carried his tent and food, and didn't look back. Caesar was sitting by the car with Freesia, and when he saw him get up, he also walked towards him.

"Where are you going?" Caesar asked him.

"Go ahead." Link pointed in a direction.

"Front?" Caesar turned around and looked, a little confused, "Why are you going?"

"Look for clues from the Freedom Army." Link didn't know why he was so patient, and explained to him seriously, "The Freedom Army is our enemy, and now I have clues, I have to go and track them down."

"Just yourself?"

"Yes." Link looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"Are you going to die?"

"Of course not." Link shook his head.

"Oh," Caesar said.

Link smiled at him and left.

At midnight, the tents were set up next to the car. Kaiser, Freesia and Chenghe were in the same tent.The machines outside were working rumblingly, and Chenghe didn't sleep. He kept trying to contact Lin Yitai, but he hadn't been successful. Difficult to reach him.

Caesar walked up to him and asked him, "Why are you still awake?"

"Can't sleep." Cheng He was upset, "We're leaving tomorrow, Link is here by himself, I'm afraid he's dead."

"He said he wouldn't die."

"If you are a person, you will die." Cheng He said.

Caesar walked out of the tent, and Shiroha turned off the computer.

He turned off the light, and Freesia lay down beside him quite self-consciously. Chenghe had to hug her to relieve the restlessness in his heart. He even bit her neck lightly as if to vent her anger. After taking a sip, Freesia didn't hide, he could feel Chenghe's uneasiness now.

"It will be fine." Freesia said, "I thought Caesar was going to die, but then you came and fixed him."

Cheng He looked at him, feeling a little funny, "Are you comforting me? Huh?"

"Ah." Freesia said hesitantly, "Yes."

"Thank you." Cheng He touched his face, "Why are you comforting me, because do you like me?"

"Like...?" Freesia said, "What is liking?"
