Rib Flower [Ability]

"It's time to start descending, Bai Ying, turn on the ultrasonic detector."

The warship steadily entered the planet's atmosphere, and was soon lost in thick dark blue clouds.Hero immediately turned on the daylight-like searchlights, making the entire warship as bright as a small sun, which was enough for them to move forward unimpeded in this vast deep sea-like area.

He slowed down his descent and began to search for the precise location of that coordinate.This is an unfamiliar territory with a unique topography. With the light penetrating through the clouds, they can clearly see the scene below through the display screen.

On the gray and white land as vast as snow, huge cylindrical mountains rise up in groups, a bit like the karst landform "Devil City", and it also seems to contain artificial artifacts of ancient civilizations like pyramids, but the closer They made Helo feel uncomfortable all over the body, just like the creepy feeling when he was lured into the ant nest when he was a child.

Those extremely aggressive red ants almost killed him, and at this moment the unforgettable sting pain faintly broke out on his skin again.

But if there is life on this planet, wouldn't Sayero have a greater chance of surviving?

"Good guy, it really looks like a large cemetery." Bai Ying clicked his tongue, "Sayero can really..."

"Shut your crow's mouth, or I will throw you down now." The driver immediately interrupted him, warned him in a low voice, and pulled the hang glider abruptly.The warship rushed towards the Devil Mountains unexpectedly, obliquely and precisely passing through the narrow gaps, like a torpedo with a route set in advance.

But Baiying is sure that they definitely don't have tracks like torpedoes!With a tingling scalp, he let go of the useless control panel and pressed it tightly against the backrest, his adrenaline rushing to its peak in an instant.

This guy is a madman worse than him!

The warship made a humming and roaring sound while spinning and flying, but this sound was pleasant to Helo. He grasped the steering handle, and he seemed to grasp the beating heart together. The moment coincided with the moment when the take-off track of the "Paradise" airship flew all the way.Wouldn't it be nice if we caught up at that time?

But where are there so many ifs?

Time is always only towards the future that cannot be turned back and cannot be changed, just like a warship can only rush forward along the track.

After crossing the Devil Mountain, the front suddenly opened up, and a rolling desert appeared.Radar shows that the location of Sayero's warship is here.Sure enough, Herlo saw the released positioning tracker stop at the foot of a relatively low Devil Mountain, emitting red light twinkling.

His heart clenched uncontrollably, urgently and hesitantly, he pressed the landing button.

He walked out in a trance, so that when he stepped on a piece of soft gravel, he still felt like he was still floating in space.

"Sir, the gravity here is almost the same as that of the earth, even the oxygen content in the air!" Bai Ying jumped a few times excitedly, his face showed the boyishness unique to a boy of his age.

"Don't yell, it's not surprising. Don't forget, we are not the first lucky ones here."

As early as six years ago, Sayero set foot on this planet.

He Luo loosened the overly tight oxygen insufflator on his throat, glanced at the over-excited boy at this time, wandered into the distance thoughtfully, but had to close his eyes in a violent gust of wind .

Surrounded by a hazy cloud of sand and dust, Helo rubbed the red corners of his eyes, put on the goggles, and calmed down the fleeting sadness just now, and held up the tracker in his hand against the wind, He shot a beacon bullet into the sand, and walked over coolly under the admiring gaze of the young man.

The beacon bomb emitted a circle of radial optical nets, accurately locking on to the target's location.

Hero squatted down, followed the instructions to look at the raised shape under the sand layer not far away, and exhaled a long breath.

He saw the mist of his breath on the glass cover that seemed to condense into a blurred image, and made him smell a smoke that wasn't really there.

"Here, birthday present. Do you like it?"

The man asked in a low voice through the smoke.

His voice was hoarse from smoke, revealing an indescribable charm.They sat side by side on the roof, busy with traffic, colorful lights, large and small aircraft shuttled between the tall buildings and the tracks in the distance, the roar hit like a storm, and disappeared like fireworks.

"what is this?"

"Gizmo win from the casino last night. Light it up and inhale it. You'll see a miracle."

"It's so beautiful, like a dream."

"No, Helo, that's the future. If you're willing to run after your feet instead of moving your lips, otherwise it's just an illusion." A hand touched his head tenderly, with a fist still on it. The scars left by the game.

"I will, brother. I will catch up with you."

Bai Ying saw the young man standing up on the sandy slope, looking up at the clouds above his head.

In most cases, he gave people a gentle and elegant feeling, more like an elite engaged in clerical work than an "interstellar mercenary". Strands of silver hair danced recklessly behind his back. Looking from a distance against the backdrop of the night sky, Bai Ying felt that the figure of that man was like the ninja sword with silver sheath and black blade that he had used all the year round. It looked soft but restrained. .

He stood motionless in the violent sand wind, as resolute as when he passed through the wormhole.

The hatch of the cockpit opened behind him, and Hero turned around as if waking up from a dream, waved his hands at the companions who came out, and smiled: "Good morning, no one is seasick, right? "

"I can't see that your driving skills are really good, it's not just that you have a pretty face."

Ando, ​​the most annoying guy in the hunting team, looked up at the misty night sky above his head, walked slowly to his side, and hugged his shoulders like a gibbon, with a gentle scum smile on his face.

"Okay, you, it really succeeded. To be honest, I am ready to sacrifice."

"Go away, if you die, it will be called human destruction." He Luo sneered and slapped his thief's claws away, but suddenly the back of his hand hurt, and he was stabbed by the "hidden weapon" in the opponent's hand.

Ando injected a whole tube of unknown medicinal liquid into his blood vessels, his white teeth brightened: "Hey, do you know that your face is as pale as if you just came out of the morgue?"

Helo wiped the dry wound on his forehead before feeling a little dizzy.

Indeed, he was too weak after driving the warship for several days and nights.Maybe he should take a break, but Sayero's warship is right in front of him, and he can't wait for a second.

Seeing the young man tilting his head and closing his eyes, and his neck muscles slowly relaxing, Ando took the opportunity to wrap his arms around his waist, approaching a narrow slit exposed by the tight neckline of the opponent's isolation suit, and blew in: "As the only doctor in the team, I have to check the commander's health tonight..."

Helo tightened his whole body, slapped off the devil's claws stuck to his body, sat down, and calmed the blood flow.

He really didn't know how he survived the operation performed by a guy like Ando.

Ando is a Japanese. He used to do some shady and illegal activities in the underground clinic. He made medicines from the unsalable alien substances brought back by the star hunters, and sold them to buyers in the black market who needed them. Most of them were Some desperadoes—

Some extraterrestrial substances can have various wonderful effects on the human body, promoting muscle growth, wound healing, regeneration of severed limbs, and even obstinate impotence.Of course, the side effects are also great.

In a transaction, he finally went off the rails and made a billionaire look like a ghost. He almost lost his life first, so he escaped from Kyoto, which was in chaos due to the plague at that time, with a plane ticket. He took refuge in Hong Kong and stumbled into the "Paradise of Thorns" by accident. He manufactured some strange drugs in the casino it operated on the bright side, so as to add some explosive highlights to the violent performances every night.

Later, when the Third World War broke out, Ando participated in the war. With this black technology, he won the favor of the high-level officials of "Thorn Paradise" during the war. A lifelong friendship.

So ever since Sayero disappeared, Ando has been entangled with him lingeringly, pretending to take care of his family for his brother. I don't know what his idea is, but he actually helped him pay for his tuition until he graduated, and recommended him to enter the "Paradise of Thorns" ".

This guy is like a Nazi military doctor, a lunatic who likes to experiment and develop all kinds of novel medicines. If he hadn't stopped him, everyone in the team would have become his guinea pigs.

For example, the tube of nutrient solution just now... Who knows what he injected?

Helo touched the pinhole on his wrist, wondering if it was a psychological effect, and felt that the blood flow accelerated.

"Hey, boy, are you still alive?" A cold female voice sounded beside him.

The owner of the voice, a sexy and tall woman with short hair sat down next to him and handed him a wet wipe.

"It feels great."

He took it and hastily wiped the blood on his face.

Nightingale and White Eagle are siblings. Before they joined "Thorn Paradise", they were already among the top ten hired killers in Southeast Asia.As a felon wanted by the International Police Department, "Thorn Paradise" provided them with a perfect ID card. After all, there is no more convenient choice than becoming an interstellar mercenary to get away with it.

As for another person who was also motivated by "concealing his whereabouts"——

Hero looked at the red-haired man who finally walked out of the hibernation cabin and looked towards him, Lone Wolf.

This man always gives people a sense of danger like a wolf, and most of the time he is taciturn, and rarely communicates with other people in the team unless necessary.Lone Wolf's background is very mysterious, so far he has not been able to find out much about Lone Wolf's origins, he only knows that he is a capable person in the top management of "Thorn Paradise".

This is somewhat unbelievable for him as a hacker, but at least, apart from the shortcoming of being too mysterious, Lone Wolf is indeed an excellent hunter, a high-quality teammate who will never hold back.

Hero adjusted the infrared detection device on the goggles. At this moment, it seemed that a shadow suddenly passed by in the distant darkness, and disappeared in an instant.

Is it a hallucination?

He looked intently and found that Nightingale was also watching from that angle.That direction is the depths of the Devil's Mountains, which is gloomy and filled with thick fog.He didn't want to set foot in that place unless necessary.

"You saw it too?" Nightingale turned on the searchlight and moved the mechanical arm, "Maybe it's an alien species."

"Don't forget, the main purpose of our coming here is not to hunt." Herlo retracted the detector, grasped the vibrating little ball, and raised the corner of his lips a little carelessly, "Don't forget that I am this Captain of a warship."

This kind of expression that was often seen on Sayero's face made the corners of the woman's eyes twitch slightly.

This kid is becoming more and more like that guy, she thought, and it seemed that the man tilted his head again, lit a cigarette, and gave her orders with a half-smile and an uncompromising smile.

"What's the matter?" Seeing her staring at him without blinking, Herlo turned on the built-in searchlight on the mechanical wristband on her arm and shook it in front of the other party's eyes.

Nightingale is a high-level mercenary with outstanding mobility. He Luo knew that as long as he allowed it, this woman would immediately catch up, chasing that thing hiding in the dark like a cheetah, until she caught or killed it. die.Fortunately, he had the final say on this warship. Even though Nightingale refused to obey him, he had to obey their superiors' orders.

——Search for Thorn Paradise's base ship that has been abandoned on this planet for many years, find out the cause of the crash, and bring back all the preserved materials and survivors, even if they have turned into corpses.

Especially Sayero, who is a core member.

"I know, we're here to collect the corpse, little captain." The woman lifted the corners of her slender eyes in frustration, and added with a venomous tongue, "I hope you don't find him. "

As if a thin razor had scratched a certain extremely fragile nerve, the young man raised his eyelids, his bloodless lips were drawn into a line, and he glared at her like a torch, before walking towards the warship without looking back.

Yade, the mechanic and bionic man assigned to the warship, quickly cleaned up the sand layer covering the hull. The arched top of the warship was exposed, and the broken circular observation window revealed the deep and dark cabin space inside, like a mouthful of dust that had been trapped for many years. The ancient well, like the eyes of an ancient monster, watched them quietly.

"Hello..."

In a trance, there seemed to be a familiar calling voice floating from the depths.

The blood rushed to the top of the skull, and the young man who approached the spaceship stood still, holding back and not rushing in immediately.It's just the wind, calm down, he told himself, shaking his head vigorously.Listening to that voice again, it really didn't exist anymore, only the whistling wind and the movement of other people in the team came from all around.

"Hey, sir, are you okay?" Bai Yingmao squatted at the entrance, looking up at him.

Herlo adjusted the searchlight and shone a circle inside.The cold reflection illuminated his pale face, and those extremely beautiful light blue eyes were amazingly bright with some strong desire.

He crouched down and jumped in.
