hunting light

"Another question." Ian asked, "Guang Ji, when did 'he' get ordered to hunt us down?"

"At 9657:28:57 p.m. on April 35, [-] in the new human calendar. He ordered the entire system to search for you." The time reported by Guang Ji was accurate to the second.

Ian and Advi looked at each other: "At that time, the Byron Empire hadn't even been established..."

"Even Brad the Great hasn't been born yet." Adway said, "In 9657, something must have happened, but it hasn't been recorded in history! But what I'm more curious about is how Guangji and Ian will get there Managing the Holy Lord? After all, the other party is hunting you both all over the Internet. His power is obviously much greater than yours."

Guang Ji said: "Ian needs to continue to grow, combine with the Sentinels to form a powerful force, and then find the base left by God. There, you will get corresponding instructions."

As for the question of where the base is, it is no surprise that Guang Ji asked three questions and said that he could not read them all.

"So, you really need to rescue the blond boy." Advi concluded, "The organization has been trying to find a way, but the Cruvia army is mixed with dragons and snakes, and the forces are intertwined and intertwined. We The people in the office can't help you in a short time. Fortunately, you have an assistant like Guangji."

"But 'he' is chasing us." Guang Ji said, "After I invade the military network, 'he' will find me, swallow me, and kill Ian."

If the chaser is the Lord, then with his power, he can control all the mech weapons, and killing Ian is as easy as crushing an ant.

"But I don't think this will stop you from looking for him." Adwei squinted at Ian.

The young priest has regained his composure: "Yes, no matter what, I will find him. No matter what kind of conflicts he may have with the Holy Lord in the future, I will rescue him first."

"Even if the Lord wants to kill you?"

"Most of the conclusions we draw today come from speculation. My belief will not be shaken so easily. Even if the Holy Lord is a false god, there is still a true God." Ian said calmly, "I said, I believe in The core is the truth, goodness and beauty of light. This is a belief that will never collapse."

Adway bowed slightly to Ian to pay tribute: "I can now understand why you are the one chosen by God, Mitchell. I can see the beautiful qualities of the legendary guide of light in you. I think there should always be A way to save you from being killed by that 'he'. You need a protector..."

"Protector." Guang Ji read the remaining entries again, "Every light guide will combine with a dark sentinel to exert the most powerful power. The dark sentinel is also the protector of the light guide. He has the power to control the light The ability of a guide to hide."

Ian was dumbfounded.

Advi tutted: "I'm starting to like your system. Although I'm a little confused, as long as I find the right keywords, he can always surprise us. Talking to him is like playing a game to find hidden equipment. "

Guangji said: "The birth of the Dark Sentinel needs to go through the most severe test. But once he is forged, he will become the most powerful warrior of mankind. Ian, I am your strength, and the Dark Sentinel is the invincible weapon in your hands." weapon."

Ian couldn't help asking: "Is it God's arrangement that I will meet Leon?"

"God arranged everything." Guang Ji replied.

All births and deaths, all encounters and partings, are calculated by God within seconds.But did He count the hearts of men?

"So," Ian finally concluded, "I need to use Guangji's power to save Leon. But this will invite 'him' to hunt down and kill me. But if Leon is the Dark Sentinel, he can protect me. So, as long as We successfully rescued Leon, and all difficulties were solved!"

Ian happily decided: "Then, go and rescue my sentinel!"

Although the priest was full of confidence, when he was sitting in the semi-old shuttle that the rescue team flew to Nimes, almost all the team members showed resistance to him.

Weak, beautiful, clean, or an unmarked Omega?

"What are we doing? Are we going to infiltrate the city of Nim, where 50 armored soldiers are stationed? At least one-fifth of the soldiers in it are Alpha. With such a pheromone diffuser, we are afraid that we will not be attacked by the enemy." Have you found it? Let alone sneaking into the city, you will be spotted by the mechanical dogs of the Ke army if you are one kilometer away from the defense line?"

"Even if we successfully entered the city, what the hell are we going to do with this priest? Or does the Duke mean that we strip this Omega and dedicate it to the soldiers defending the city in exchange for a chance to sneak into the city?"

The mercenaries laughed, and their malicious ridicule was undisguised.

"Boss, are you poor and stupid? It is more difficult to keep this Omega's life in Nim than to keep my virginity."

"Shadu, you're not a virgin any longer!"

"That's what I mean!"

The men laughed wildly again.

Half of them are Alphas, and the other half are Betas with exceptionally strong bodies.I have lived a life of licking blood for too long, and every pair of eyes, even if they glance at people unconsciously, carries the bloody smell like a jackal.

There is no need to discuss sexism with him at all.Their world is always only suitable for the strong to survive, and the weak are not worthy of leaving their bones behind.

"Get out if you haven't laughed enough!" Captain Scott yelled, "Kim will only pay the other half when he sees his son alive. How much time do you plan to delay?"

The crowd fell silent.

Scott pointed to a crude map on the table, and casually pointed at Ian: "Tonight at nine o'clock local time, a group of refugees will arrive in the city of Nimes. They can't enter the city, they will only be outside the city. Sleeping in the open. We plan to cause riots here, and then sneak into the city, and then implement real-time positioning of the 'package'. When we get him, we will gather here in the west..."

"A very detailed plan." Ian interrupted Scott, "But I think the implementation is too flexible, and a slight mistake in any part of the process will lead to the failure of the operation."

"What do you know, you bastard?" the team member named Shadu scolded, "Nim City's defense is like a can of salted fish. The brothers are all risking their lives to earn the little money from your master. Do you still have to be picky and picky by something like you?"

Ian calmly faced dozens of contemptuous gazes, and said, "I have a better way, gentlemen, can you listen to me?"

Scott was impatient and said roughly, "Say it!"

Ian picked up a pen and pointed to the map.The gazes of a group of elders couldn't help following his fair and slender fingers.

"I also did a little research on the way here. There are also a group of military officers' family members and entourage who arrived in Nimes with the refugee wave at nine o'clock tonight. I can pretend to be one of the entourage, sneak into the city, and find Leon — that's the 'package.' Then, you're causing chaos in the refugee camp and covering us out of town."

After Ian finished speaking, he looked at the team members.

"Pfft—" Someone started, and then the team members laughed hahaha.

"Every family member of an officer must undergo a very strict identity verification and body search." Scott's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes at Ian, "Even if you sneak in, you can't even find the north. It will be turned into a hornet's nest by the mechanical police."

"So many soldiers and agents of the Imperial Army failed to do it, how can you do it?"

"Yeah, don't make any trouble, Father. You just stay in the cabin and recite the scriptures." Sandu laughed, "Where do the dicks get so much self-confidence these days..."

Ian smiled faintly amidst the ridicule.

In the next second, the two mechas fixed to the wall in the cabin suddenly started up, their movements were in unison, and with two swishing sounds, they took a big step and stood behind Ian, like two burly patron saints.

All the weapons on their bodies and arms were turned on, the machine guns were fired, loaded with a click, and the long swords popped out of their scabbards, showing their sharpness.

Every team member present was pointed at the vitals by a gun or a sword!

The laughter stopped abruptly.

And Ian picked up a photon gun that was randomly thrown on the table.

This gun with a genetic code lock cannot be opened by outsiders at all.Keyan held it in his hand, unlocked it in a second, and the blue energy in the gun circulated in the circuit.

All the team members looked like they were facing an enemy, and their expressions changed suddenly.

"Oh——" Scott immediately raised his hands, "Calm down, Father!"

"Sorry!" Ian immediately put down the gun.The mecha behind him also quickly put away all the weapons.

"I don't know how to use guns, please don't worry." The priest suddenly showed such a trick, which made everyone's cold sweat break out belatedly, but he himself had an apologetic and humble appearance.

"I just want to confirm to everyone that I have the ability to sneak into Nim City and ensure my own safety. Of course, to complete the rescue, I still need your help."

Ian still spoke softly, with a very sincere and serious attitude: "Can you reconsider my plan, captain?"

Two hours later, the military airport on the western outskirts of Nimes.

In the bathroom, a butler who was washing his hands after going to the bathroom was knocked unconscious by a sap.

Yi An quickly changed his clothes, and put on the disguise magnetic net on his face.Although his movements are not skilled enough, they are methodical and surprisingly calm.

Scott was sure that this priest had absolutely no training in martial arts or ordnance, and he had never held anything sharper than a pen in his hand.But this calm attitude, coupled with his terrifying control over the mecha, made it impossible not to trust his ability.

"Good luck, Father."

"You too, captain." Ian straightened his tie and walked out of the airport bathroom.

"Guangji, how long will it take from when you enter the military network to when 'he' finds us?"

"The Kruvia army's military network is under hacker attacks from the empire around the clock, and the information is quite messy, which can delay us for a while. A conservative estimate, it can take about two hours." Guang Ji said.

"That's enough." Ian said, "The countdown begins!"

At [-]:[-] that night, a car carrying a dozen family members and entourages of military officers passed the military checkpoint and entered the heavily guarded city of Nimes.

Military frontlines generally rarely receive family members.These soldiers are the wives, children and younger brothers and sisters of the supreme commander of the garrison in Nimes, and they came here to celebrate the general's [-]th birthday.

The privileges of senior officials, coupled with the recapture of the military town of Nimes from the imperial army, made the confidence of the Cruvia army unprecedentedly inflated.The officers had allowed themselves a little relaxation in the joy of victory.

But despite this, the sentry still strictly and carefully implemented the security check.Even the general's wife has to undergo a body scan in person to check her personal biological information.

This time the security check went very smoothly, except that the machine was a little slow for two seconds when it scanned a housekeeper of the general's sister.But the two-second pause did not attract the attention of the soldiers.

These scanners are all the latest models that have just been shipped from the rear, and they are worth more than people.From the military's point of view, they couldn't possibly go wrong.So when the machine judged that the butler matched his identity information, the soldiers waved their hands and let him pass.

The convoy of the military family passed through the checkpoints in the city and headed for the family area in the City Hall Square.

After repeated attacks by the two military forces, this city, which was once an important industrial town, has been destroyed like a building block knocked over by a bear child, and it is full of sad devastation in the night.

In the urban area at night, except for the area where the army is stationed, the only remaining light in the city is listless street lamps.

Ruins destroyed by shells can be seen everywhere, and war-damaged vehicles and mechs are abandoned on the road.The mechanical soldiers patrolled along the streets and alleys in groups of two.

Suddenly, a stray dog ​​ran across the road, and the mechanical soldier clicked and raised his gun, aiming at the moving creature.However, their intelligence is not low. After judging that the opponent is not aggressive, they put the gun back.

The remaining civilians in the city hid deep in the house like voles, covering the windows with cloth and wooden boards.People outside can only tell from the light leaking from the gap that there are still people living in the house.

In the military area, however, it was orderly as if it had never experienced artillery fire.

The streets are spacious and tidy, the street lights are bright, and the general's temporary residence is decorated with lights and festoons.There was even an open-air dance in the small square, and soldiers danced and flirted with girls from nowhere.

In this hot midsummer night, the music and the humid wind flow like sticky honey, sticking to people's exposed skin.

While the general's relatives were immersed in the joy of reunion, a housekeeper asked for tea, walked through the chaotic kitchen of the general's mansion, and went straight out through the back door.

Military-grade combination locks are useless in front of him.The moment the man raised his hand to hold the doorknob, the lock unlocked automatically, and the green light for permission came on.

Ian still didn't forget to close the door, and then walked quickly along the long street behind the house.

The patrolling machines in the military area are denser than those outside the area, and there are eight machine guards standing guard at each intersection 24 hours a day.There is also a floating electronic eye in the air to monitor everything on the ground, as long as it scans someone whose information is unfamiliar, it will send an alarm.

At this moment, Yi'an fully realized the strength and convenience of Guangji's power.

Guangji invaded the system of Kruvia's military headquarters, and when Yishun stepped out of the general's mansion, his personal information was changed from the general's military entourage to a soldier with a patrol mission tonight.

Ian walked all the way, unimpeded, passing all the scans of mechanical waiters and electronic eyes.

Ian also passed several pairs of real patrol soldiers.Ian nodded politely to the soldiers.Even though the other party would look at him suspiciously, but seeing the green light of the mechanical attendant, all doubts were dispelled.

Even the mechanical waiter judged that this stranger was safe, so why should they be suspicious?

Human beings' dependence and trust in electronic products allowed Ian to walk freely in the enemy-occupied area and successfully arrived at the small square.

As far as Leon approached and sent a distress signal, they hid not far from the military area.As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place.But that was six days ago.Leon and the others are likely to have transferred.

Ian frowned and looked at the soldiers who were having fun.

Even with the cover of night, Ian can see that not every girl is willing.The pain and embarrassment on some people's faces are undisguised.There was even an Omega boy who refused a soldier's invitation to dance, and was slapped and knocked to the ground by the soldier.

Ian's eyebrows twitched fiercely.

"You can't be distracted now, Ian." Guang Ji reminded, "It's 38:[-], half an hour has passed since I touched the military network. You should go to Leon as soon as possible."

Ian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure out a single thought.

"Calm down, Ian." Guang Ji guided, "Although you haven't formally combined, the Light Guide will establish a super induction with his sentries. As AO, you also have emotional marks, and you can sense each other .”

Ian calmed down his breathing.

"Follow your instinct and look for his biological magnetic field." Guang Ji said, "Imagine you two are two whales in the deep sea, looking for each other through sound waves..."

A wonderful experience happened at this moment.

Ian felt like he was in a dream, his consciousness was withdrawn from this body standing on the street, and he was above the entire capital city, looking down on the world like a god.

The ruins and faint lights under the dim moonlight are all in sight, and the city is like a small desktop model, allowing him to read it from different angles.

Every life is represented as a rhythmic wave in his consciousness, whether it is the crowd in the square or the rats looking for food in the corner.And all machines are presented with blue energy light clusters.

"It's amazing!" Ian sighed, "Guangji, is this how you see the world?"

"It's slightly different, but not much different." Guang Ji said, "This is perception, the power left in your genes by the Guide of Light. This is an ability that has been lost with human evolution."

"But why have I never felt it before?"

"Because you were only strong and firm in the past." Guang Ji said, "Your thoughts are not yet urgent enough to trigger this force. And this force is too strong, and you in the past did not have enough willpower to control it. Perception Once the force is out of control, your sanity will fall apart and you will become a walking dead."

Ian stretched out his hand in the sea of ​​consciousness, and grabbed a thin thread that was so weak that it was almost invisible in the vast seaweed-like wave of life.

"I found him!" Ian then wrapped the thin thread tightly around his fingertips and opened his eyes.

"I know where they are hiding!"

The City Grand Theater, two kilometers away from the City Hall Square, burned for a long time, and was finally bombarded to pieces in the last round of siege street battles. Later, it experienced the baptism of fire, and now only the steel frame of the big stage is still strong. with.The rest of the curtains, seats, and luxurious decorations all disappeared into the smoke and dust along with the singing, dancing and applause of the past.

Because there was no one to extinguish the fire, a fire burned intermittently for five days, and was only extinguished by a heavy rain yesterday.

The fire affected the data of the robot's life monitoring instrument.No one knew that nine soldiers of the Imperial Army had been hiding in the underground warehouse of the Grand Theater that was about to collapse for five full days.

After the failure of the last retreat, Leon led the rest of his subordinates to move here, just because there are many flammable materials here and are resistant to fire.After they hid in, they immediately lit a fire on the ground.

It really did not meet Leon's expectations.The Cruvia army was busy relocating and increasing troops elsewhere, and didn't bother to care about such trivial things as the ruins burning.The nine of them struggled in the basement with what little food and water they had left, waiting for the next batch of rescues who would arrive at some unknown time.

In order to save energy, only a very weak energy-saving lamp is lit in the warehouse.The ticking of water dripping into the bucket was the only sound in the room.

The soldiers were exhausted and desperate, holding their guns and sitting against the wall, with only endless darkness in their vision.

Lying in the corner was a blond young man, the gauze wrapped around his upper body was already dirty and oozing with pus and blood.Under the dim light, the young man's face was gray and decayed, his cheeks were sunken, his lips were dry and cracked, and there were two thick shadows under his eyes.

If it weren't for the slight ups and downs of his chest, he would be like a fresh corpse.

Tick, tick...

The young man suddenly opened his eyes, and the azure eyes were shining brightly, just like the energy revolving on the core machine of the mecha.

A soldier guarding the door became alert and checked a military photon board in his hand.

"Someone is approaching! Our first security device has been triggered!"

Leon narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not speak.But the originally dead soldiers all woke up with a start and clenched their guns tightly.

"The other party is approaching very fast!" the soldier whispered, "He broke the second checkpoint! He didn't trigger the explosion... Did he directly demolish our checkpoint...?"

The soldiers were on full alert.

They are at the end of their battles, and the people coming are so powerful, it is very likely that what will meet them will be a massacre without any suspense!

"The third checkpoint has also been demolished!" The soldier said in despair, "Platoon leader, we need to move!"

"No." Leon finally spoke, his voice was extremely hoarse and weak, but his tone was firm, "I probably know... who is here..."

The soldiers were terrified.But out of trust and admiration for this officer, they chose to obey the order.

"The fourth one..." On the photon board, the red lights marking the warning levels went out one by one.

When the last red light went out, the soldiers heard footsteps outside the door.The man staggered through a corridor filled with various obstacles piled up by soldiers, making a series of noises, and finally came to the door.

Leon squinted his eyes like a wolf, piercing the door like a sharp knife, and said, "Open the door!"

The soldiers were taken aback.Two soldiers reacted first, holding guns in one hand, and slammed the door open.

Standing outside the door was a strange man in a suit and leather shoes, carrying a small suitcase in his hand, he looked like a white-collar worker who had gone to the wrong office.

The man looked past the soldier who was pointing his gun at him, and then he flew across the room, and then fixed on the blond young man lying in the corner.

"Report your name!" The adjutant shouted in a low voice.

"A friend." The man opened the suitcase and poured out a large pile of powerful nutrient solution and a hand-held healing device from it.

Holding the healing device, he almost threw himself in front of the young man in the corner.He looked at the gauze on Leon's body and trembled violently.

"Scissors! I need to heal his wounds!" the man turned his head and shouted.

The soldiers still held their guns vigilantly.

Leon raised his hand with difficulty and waved it lightly.Only then did the soldiers relax.

The gauze on his body was cut open, exposing the wound that almost ran through his entire chest.

The edge of the wound was jagged and extremely irregular, obviously caused by an impact such as an explosion.

Leon's abdomen must have ruptured at that time, and the first aid treatment barely healed the wound on his abdomen, leaving a hideous scar.However, due to the lack of good follow-up treatment, other wounds have been infected on a large scale, and the corrupted and necrotic muscles are purple-gray and emit a foul smell.

The man's pupils shrank fiercely, and the hand holding the healing device trembled slightly.

"Let me do it." The adjutant looked at the man who was about to faint, and reached out to pick up the healing device in his hand.

"No." The man quickly calmed down again, "It's still me."

He knelt beside Leon, cleaned his wound skillfully, and then turned on the healing device to heal him.

"The officer was injured trying to block an explosive bomb for us. Asura was also seriously injured and temporarily hibernated." The adjutant said, tearing open a bag of nutrient solution and handing it to Leon.

Leon didn't answer.He silently stared at the man in front of him, reached out to his face, and gently stroked his cheek.

A nearly transparent magnetic mesh mask was peeled off the man's face.

The real face of the man is still very young, surprisingly handsome and delicate.Because of the strenuous exercise before, the whole face was covered with fine sweat, and the lips trembled slightly due to the high tension.

The adjutant was all too familiar with this face.

Since he became a subordinate of Coleman's platoon leader, he has often seen this kid show off that he has a "research theology" sweetheart, who is also his childhood sweetheart.The photo Leon released from the bracelet had the same face as the man in front of him.

All the soldiers asked in unison in their minds: "What's the plot? Why didn't the imperial army's rescue team come for a long time, but the platoon leader's boyfriend came instead?"

The people who had been trapped in the warehouse below for several days were so hungry that they were fed a mouthful of dog food before they could drink the nutrient solution!

The adjutant put the nutrient solution in Leon's hand, and left wisely.

The power of the therapy device was turned on to the maximum.The carrion was removed, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This level of treatment was very painful, and Leon's muscles tensed up, but he didn't say a word.He drank the nutritional supplement slowly, keeping his eyes on the man's handsome and pale face for a moment.

That gaze was an invisible hand caressing Ian's brows, cheeks, and lips wantonly in this dim, musty room.

"You have a high fever, you need to enter the treatment cabin." Ian said, his voice was so hoarse that he was a little surprised, "Your father hired a rescue team, but the city of Nimes is too tightly guarded. Although Guangji helped , but they couldn’t all come in. I’ll come in first to find you, and they’re waiting in Area 87 to meet us.”

"Where's the military?" A kid squatted closest to them and overheard them.

Ian naturally wouldn't tell this group of soldiers at this time that they had been abandoned by their motherland.He said: "The efficiency of the military is too low, and it takes too long to organize a rescue. The Duke of Oran couldn't wait for them and chose to do it himself."

Leon gave Ian a meaningful look, his throat could hardly make a sound under the high fever: "Guangji?"

Ian understood what he meant and nodded: "We must evacuate the military zone before 'he' finds me."

Otherwise, Leon knew very well.That thing that is said to be "hunting" Ian and Guangji, I don't know if it is a person or an organization, after finding Ian, it will kill him!

The adjutant couldn't help asking: "You are alone, how can you take us out?"

Ian said: "How I found you, I can take you out."

He tore another packet of nutritional supplements and handed it to Leon: "Drink it. You are hurt too badly."

Leon took his hand, bit the nutrient straw, and swallowed it.

The treatment instrument beeped, and the initial treatment was finally completed.The festering part has been effectively treated, and the wound edge has initially healed.Leon's injury was too severe, and a simple portable healing device could only do so much for him.He needs to return to the base as soon as possible, go to the treatment cabin, and treat the infection in his body with medicine.

"I'an," Guangji suddenly said in the sea of ​​consciousness, "I noticed the movement of 'him'. He started looking for it."

Yi An calmed down: "How much time is left?"

"Less than half an hour." Guang Ji said.

"The situation has changed, we only have half an hour to reach Area 87, we must leave now!" Ian made a decisive decision, took off his suit jacket, put Leon's arms on his shoulders, and helped him up.

Leon's complexion was still ashen, and the newly healed wound on his chest was bright flesh red.The serious injury and days of high fever consumed too much of his physical strength, but he still let go of Ian's hand and stood up with his own strength.

"From now on, the words of this gentleman have the same effect as mine." Leon looked around at his remaining eight subordinates, "I said, I will do my best to bring you to the battlefield , take you back again!"

The operational efficiency of the soldiers is obviously much higher than that of Yi An, a frail scholar.

Three minutes later, the soldiers who had supplemented their energy with nutritional supplements all evacuated from the opera house.

Five minutes later, with the help of Guang Ji, they successfully hijacked a military vehicle.

Leon put on the Kruvia army uniform, sat in the co-pilot, grabbed Ian and held him beside him, wrapping his arms around his waist tightly.

"Go!" he ordered.

The military vehicle started with a buzz and sped towards the destination.
