He came from the bell tonight

Chapter 41 Greedy Wolf

The night wind blew away the pervasive stench and washed away the clear moonlight.

Su Ling stared fixedly at Xiao Huaiyan.The latter was unaware of the stains on his body, pulled off the bandage familiarly, and wrapped the injured forearm several times.Dark red oozes out, and the white bandage gradually darkens.

Su Ling took out an anti-infection medicine prepared by Frank from the medicine box and handed it to him.

"Didn't you say that you won't come for a while?"

"It was purely accidental," Xiao Huaiyan grinned at the corner of his mouth, and laughed at himself, "If it hadn't come here, I would almost have been here."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to brush away the broken hair from Su Ling's ear.

The moment his fingertips touched the pinna, Su Ling quickly dodged away.

A recent dream came to mind inappropriately.In those confusing clips, his intuition told him that the man's fierce eyes and rough movements coincided with the man in front of him.

That dream was so real that even the skin it touched would burn.

The danger and anxiety made Su Ling subconsciously want to avoid it.

Xiao Huaiyan seemed to have noticed this move, but unexpectedly, he didn't do anything else.The expression on that face became a little strange, the smile was bitter, and the twinkling things in the eyes finally dimmed.

The terminals of the two vibrated at the same time.

"Hey Boss, Su Ling, how are you doing over there? I just saw a few disgusting bugs going towards the bell tower." A loud and piercing voice came.

Su Ling looked at Xiao Huaiyan and said, "It's okay."

"Oh, that's fine, Chuchu and I are already seated."

In the group, Xizi joined the call: "We have successfully escorted Frank to Area C, so far there are no casualties. I will stay in Area C and wait for orders. Yun Qing and Ao Lai have already gone to join Zheng Kanzhi."

In the sound of electricity in the background, Frank was yelling drunkenly: "Ao Lai, it's the car on the east side, you're going the wrong way again!"

Zheng Kanzhi said briefly: "Got it."

In the temporary communication group, the persons in charge of each district briefly described the general situation of their location.

Holding a sniper gun, Xiao Huaiyan observed with a telescope for a while, and said in a calm and forceful voice: "At present, there are a total of 45 mimics left in the barrier, which are respectively in the Bell Tower area, B area, T area, and M area. Be vigilant and report the situation in time."

"Considering the current limited weapons, hunting alone will disperse manpower, and it is best to lead them to open areas for strangulation."

Suling saw the giant mimics stepping on the corpses of those bugs under the bell tower.Several golden eyes opened and closed, as if attracted by something.

"The bell tower area is the most suitable," Xiao Huaiyan said in an unquestionable tone, "here is what they want."

Su Ling felt that he knew the answer: "That fragment of the Star Sea."

"That's right. Mimics came here from their hive universe through a wormhole, because the instability generated during the active cycle of fusion during the expansion of the universe gave a passage. And this instability coincides with the distant star sea Related," Xiao Huaiyan sighed, "The purpose of these things is to occupy the human universe through indiscriminate attacks. They require a lot of energy during their difficult trek and reproduction, and the fragments of the distant star sea are the best food."

These shards contain the purest cosmic energies and have a primal appeal to the Mimics.

In the communication channel, Ahman was obviously stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Where did you know this?"

"I just happened to read a few papers that have not been published by the Ministry of Science." Xiao Huaiyan paused and changed the subject, "Everyone, are you ready?"

When he asked, he looked straight at Su Ling, and the smile in his eyes grew stronger.

In the channel, one voice after another answered "in place".

"In the area around us, there are some self-driving buses that were produced 20 years ago, and there are one or two on each line that have not been replaced. The horns used by these vehicles are the RT-W models that have been eliminated, which are equivalent to self-driving buses. A low-frequency sonic device. The only problem is, someone needs to open it."

Without waiting for Xiao Huaiyan to ask, Su Ling took the initiative to say: "I can go."

"It's too dangerous." Xiao Huaiyan covered the terminal and was about to veto it, but saw the persistence in Su Ling's eyes.

In the terminal, Yun Qing's voice sounded: "I move faster, and maybe I am suitable for such a thing."

"Me too!" Aolai, Frank's humanoid weapon also said first.

Finally, Xiao Huaiyan made a plan of action.

Su Ling solved two small mimics trying to climb the bell tower, and set off immediately after receiving the location.Before leaving, he stopped in his tracks, seeing bloodstains all over Xiao Huaiyan's body in his peripheral vision.

"You...you can tell me if you are in danger."

"Are you worried about me?"

Before Xiao Huaiyan caught up, Su Ling left the bell tower.

The night wind passing by the road was not cold, especially for Su Ling who had experienced constant fighting, it seemed extremely chilly.

He found the car in the corner of N area, but when he turned the car around, he was surrounded by insects.Dozens of giant mimics surrounded the dangling convertible.

Su Ling glanced indifferently, clenched his right hand into a fist, and made a gesture of preparing for battle.

Before long, his feet were covered with the limbs of mimics, and the slime stained the edges of his boots, giving off a burnt smell.

At this moment, a tentacle came towards his back from the dark forest——

It was cut off with a "swish" and rolled to the ground.

Immediately, there was a sound from the direction of the woods, and then fell silent.

Su Ling watched there until a young man with short black hair came out.

He has eyes of different colors, one of which is artificial.

"Are you okay?" Feiran asked proactively.He held a stuffed bear toy in his hand.The clean bear contrasted with the green of his pants.

After getting into the car, Su Ling realized that he was here to fetch toys for Si Jinyu.

"Without this, Master can't sleep at night." Fei Ran said.

Su Ling glanced at the mimetic insects rushing madly in the rearview mirror, and pulled the speed to the maximum.He asked lightly: "Master?"

"Well, my current master is still the heir of the Si family."

Not Si Junhe, but Si Jinyu.

The reborn contract allowed Fei Ran to heal the wounds he suffered before. It has only been a few days, and he has recovered to the original state.In exchange, he will continue to be a qualified servant.

Su Ling was silent for a while, and asked, "What happened to you, why did Si Junhe treat you like that?"

Feiran shook his head and raised the corner of his mouth: "This is one of my orders, I can't tell you. However, he is to punish my mistakes."

Su Ling was puzzled: "Even if he hurt you and gouged your eyes, are you still willing to continue to follow humans?"

"Human beings are also different. Jinyu treats me very well," Fei Ran said earnestly, and then smiled wryly, "Besides, where else can I go? In this world, he is The only one I know."

"Don't you want to be free?" Su Ling said, "You can go home, to the distant Xinghai."

Feiran casually dealt with an approaching mimic, and said with a smile, "But I don't even know where this sea of ​​stars is, and how I'm going to get back. Even if I go back, what can I do."

"What about you, if there is no contract, or after your master dies, where will you go?"

The fingers stopped on the console, and a little confusion appeared in the light-colored eyes.

"I don't know." Su Ling's voice was flat and blank.

He never thought about it.

If Xiao Huaiyan died, he would probably be free as well.

The only thing he is sure of is that he will not follow the second human again.

The dark clouds receded, and the bright moonlight elongated the shadow of the clock tower.Three buses coming from different directions will converge on the wide square in front of the clock tower.

Mimics like the Black Tide followed behind the vehicle, seemingly determined to win.

In the communication channel, Su Ling was the first to reply: "The automatic mode is in place."

"Already in place." Ao Lai and Yun Qing replied at the same time.

Feiran stuffed the little bear into his coat, and stretched his wrist.

Three seconds later, Su Ling stepped on the brakes.

On the big screens in all the safe areas, the four humanoid weapons of the Imperial College jumped out of the car surrounded by the swarm.They look gentle and harmless, unarmed, and seem extremely small under the body of giant mimics.

A deep smile came from Suling's terminal: "Let go of the fight, as you please."

The tail sound has not yet disappeared, and the thin figure has already rushed into the swarm.Those slender legs jumped lightly and landed firmly on the back of one of them.

Immediately afterwards, the moment the light blade cut it, he bounced back with strength, flexible and swift.The long black hair curled up in a soft arc in mid-air.

Such an awe-inspiring figure is like a bright moonlight, and everywhere is cold and holy, like a god.

"Come on, Suling! Fight them for the Imperial College!!!" Qin Yue roared at the big screen, which aroused the response of the people around.Screams and cheers reached everyone's ears through the public communication channel.

Immediately afterwards, the voices of more than [-] people in the eight safety zones sounded almost simultaneously.

For Suling, but also for Yunqing, Feiran, and Aolai.

On the top of the bell tower, Xiao Huaiyan held the terminal in his hand.He looked at Su Ling's figure without even blinking his eyes.

He had a faint trace of remorse.

What was he thinking at that time, why did he want Su Ling to stay at home and not allowed to go anywhere?

But he didn't dare to think about it.

The moonlight spread over the hunted square, and those dead mimics were swallowed by the remaining giant mimic.The guy thus keeps swelling.

Su Ling sideways avoided the blow, allowing the plasma cannon not far away to hit him.

However, this shot was crooked.Zheng Kanzhi's position was exposed to the vision of the mimics.

A nanobomb buys him time to escape before the tentacle gets close to him.

Xiao Huaiyan weighed the gun, feeling a little headache: "...there is no bullet."

The mimics, which had lost several tentacles one after another, stopped in place as if they were still.The countless golden eyes all over the body narrowed into a slit.

The next moment, these eyes turned blood red.

"This thing has mutated." Xiao Huaiyan recognized it.

The mimetic worm that entered the mutated state was much faster than before, especially when it faced the attacks of four non-human species at the same time—it seemed to be able to quickly learn their attack habits and began to successfully evade.

Xiao Huaiyan frowned and said, "It must be resolved as soon as possible before it goes berserk."

Countless tentacles made sticky sounds, and even if they were broken, they would immediately re-grow.And the hard shell around it is even stronger - Su Ling's light blade alone can only leave shallow marks.

"Ah!" Ole yelled.A tentacle pierced his shoulder blade, and the white T-shirt suddenly turned red.

The ensuing tentacles entangled him.

Su Ling looked in that direction, and when he was galloping to find an opportunity, the mimic seized the opportunity.

The surging tentacles grabbed the four humanoid weapons fiercely, but it didn't intend to crush them directly, but slowly propped up its body, opening the polyp in its abdomen.

There is also a feeding port.

Xiao Huaiyan climbed up the huge dial of the clock tower, stepped on the pointer with one foot, and was about to smash the star sea fragment——

At this moment, a bullet hit the hard shell on the edge of the polyp, and the tentacles froze.

Ou Chuchu cheered happily in the communication channel: "I hit it, hit it—ah, it seems to be a little crooked."

But at the moment when the mimic was distracted looking for the source of the attack, Su Ling cut off the tentacles and took the lead in helping the nearest Yun Qing to break free.

Immediately afterwards, Ao Lai and Fei Ran also landed safely.

Xiao Huaiyan said in a deep voice: "Suling, distract it. Ou Chuchu, hit in the direction of the polyps."

"I, can I?" Ou Chuchu was still in shock.

"Of course." Xiao Huaiyan raised the binoculars and paused for a moment, "But there is something I've always wanted to tell you."

"You forgot to take off your glasses."

On the empty roof of the teaching building, Ou Chuchu, holding a gun, took a deep breath and made several mental constructions within a second.

The moment she took off her glasses, the whole world became hundreds of times clearer——

Even the disgusting fuzz on the mimic polyps can be seen.

Only Lian Xiao stood beside her wondering: "Do you feel that the boss is different today? When he spoke just now, he looked like an elder, oh yes, the tone is the same as my dad usually orders me. Boss doesn't usually talk like this, Could he be schizophrenic from being frightened?"

Ou Chuchu stared at the scope seriously, and reminded: "If you don't support the plasma cannon to shoot, I will have a schizophrenia."

On the square, Feiran, Aolai, and Yunqing stretched the twisted tentacles in the three directions of the mimic respectively.Just when it was struggling to form more tentacles, Su Ling leaned up and slid under it like a feather.

Su Ling grabbed the edge of the shell.

Four people working hard at the same time——

With a "boom", the mimic turned over.

"It's now." Xiao Huaiyan ordered.

Su Ling immediately let go of his hand, and retreated back at the same time as the other three.

A bullet landed precisely on the polyp of the mimic.

Immediately afterwards, plasma cannons blasted towards them.

A sea of ​​flames engulfed the square.

Su Ling stood on the edge of the fire, raised his head slightly, and saw Xiao Huaiyan on the bell tower amidst warm cheers in the communication channel.The man wiped off the blood stains around his thin lips, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

Su Ling nodded in that direction.

He saw that pair of deep, dark peach blossom eyes barely swept away his fatigue, and his smile grew wider.However, the next moment, he coughed violently.

Xiao Huaiyan hunched over, and managed to calm down.Across the grand and violent flames, he quietly watched Su Ling's figure.

In the public channel, many people are asking "how is Suling, is he not injured?".

Some people also said, "Suling has been fighting all night, and there is a lot of food waiting in Area C."

……

Amid those sincere and hot concerns, Xiao Huaiyan's eyes turned slightly red.

"Do you like this life?"

He asked softly to the silhouette under the clock tower.

As if hearing his words, Su Ling raised his head.Those smoky purple eyes were as calm as if nothing had happened.

But Xiao Huaiyan is very familiar with such direct eyes.

...Usually when Suling is hungry.
