Chapter 655 Bottom Line

The video of the remote connection was cut off at Angers' instruction. Norma cut off the signal between Kassel College and the Monyach. The central control room over there should be boiling and cheering now. Bar? The joy of successfully slaying the dragon permeated the entire student class. Will it spread throughout the entire college in a short period of time and cause a wave of frenzy?

Angers turned to look at the other side of the deck. Under the dim light, there was solemn death, a dark red rose.

It was placed in the water on the deck. The petals were so red that they almost stained the puddles. In the reflection on one side of the shallow water surface were the victims dragged and dropped into a row.

They were all wearing crew clothes to represent their status of sacrifice for the Monyach. The wounds and bloodstains on their bodies had been initially treated and no longer expanded. Under the dark and dull sky, only the sound of the river water could make the sound of This dull atmosphere is getting better.

Fireworks are easy to get cold, and the grand joy of victory is followed by the licking and endurance of trauma. When the "Kuimen Project" is declared a great success in Angers, the white doves in the bell tower will also fill the mountains with the sound of the bells. There is no need for the new generation to bear the pain behind these victories. Maybe what they need is just a carnival full of hope for the burden on their shoulders.

"Principal, the Monyach has definitely exploded. Both the steam turbine and the accelerating gas turbine have experienced unsolvable malfunctions. Or it is a miracle that it was able to run for the last time. We are lucky that it did not explode midway." Lin Nian, who had put on the executive department windbreaker and white T-shirt again, walked behind Ange and reported. The black hair still had a slight trace of water after being rinsed, and the eyes under the forehead no longer had the heat of lava. In the dim light, only a dull dark brown remains.

"Where is the inflatable boat for emergency escape?" Angers asked.

"It's cancelled. When we got off the cabin during the last charge, we were hit head-on by 'Jun Yan'. Many things were either burned or left behind." Lin Nian looked up at the still dark sky, "We are trapped. .”

It was really a dramatic celestial phenomenon. Less than half an hour after the fall of the next generation, the storm gradually subsided. Thanks to this, the Monyach did not suffer any further draft or damage, but they were undoubtedly trapped on the river. They It is impossible to abandon the Monyach. There is too much evidence on this ship, and it would be too laborious to evacuate collectively. Besides, there is not enough time.

"There will be some trouble, but we won't break our skin. After all, we are the reasonable party." Angers said calmly.

"Are we reasonable?"

Lin Nian raised his head slightly. Outside the deck where the two of them were standing, the turbulent river was filled with majestic and frightening blood-red eyes. The dragon corpse spread its wings to expand the contact area with the water. There were black islands floating on the river, even if The death of the body still carries the majesty and terror that spans the ages.

If it weren't for the ferocious sword that was still piercing through his eyes and deep into his brain, people might have thought that he just fell asleep temporarily, and after dozing off, he would dive into the river and disappear in the blink of an eye. Maybe he was worried that this scene would really happen. happened, the broken anchor chain of the Monyach was specially pierced through the steel-hard membrane wings to fix it, connecting the entire ship with the dragon body.

The magnificent and beautiful scenery of the Three Gorges River can only be described with the word "tragic". Whenever any photos or videos are leaked, tomorrow's headlines in popular newspapers around the world will be occupied by this scene, including celebrities' anecdotes, the country's diplomatic progress, The new local policy. All second-rate news must be swept away before the advent of the new era. Even if it is done like this, can they be justified?

"If we let them go, or if the Monyach is sunk, Kassel Academy will be a shame to the hybrid race for the next hundred years, and we will move forward with guilt. But we survived and successfully defeated the resurrected Dragon Clan, so The truth is on our side, and the final winner of the dragon-slaying war does not need to care about rumors." Ange said calmly while looking at the river.

"Besides." The old man looked at the disorderly piles of corpses piled up in a corner of the deck. Compared with the victims of the Monyach, this group of dead people did not receive forgiveness after death, and their deaths were still horrific. The blood on his forehead had dried up, and his face was full of fear and confusion before death.

Lin Nian met the old man's gaze and looked at the group of corpses. He was responsible for the deaths of these people. The feeling of the bone knife breaking the forehead bones still lingered on his fingertips, but his expression did not change much. It was the same as before. He is praised as a born ace in the execution department.

"These people were acting unexpectedly, and they were also unexpected by me. Mance didn't take them into account, and neither did I." Angers said.

Most of the victims of the Monyach on the deck were caused by these frogmen. A few died from the vibration of the ship's hull and the aftermath of the 'Junyan'. Among these victims, Lin Nian even found the one who had suffered an abdominal injury. The man whose screws penetrated the underwater drilling rig also participated in the resistance war when the Monyach was attacked, but he did not last until the end.

"I couldn't move away at that time," Lin Nian said.

It's not that he is unwilling to trade the lives of these people with the exposure of "Fu Sheng". If it can be exchanged, he doesn't mind exchanging more troubles for these people's lives. This is a cost-effective deal. In Lin Nian's case, In the concept, you can trade for the continuation of your life, which is always a good deal.

It's a pity that "Floating Life" is not a panacea. If he chose to leave the Bronze City at that time, he would not be able to return to the original place due to the changes in the movement of the organs. At that time, the only people left behind would be Ye Sheng and Ya Ji - he would not easily To make a bet or exchange, he is willing to trade for the life of his companions, but he is not willing to trade between life and life. The latter is an account that can never be balanced.

"I know you have done your best. Replacing anyone else, or even replacing me at the scene, will not bring better results than this." Angers did not discuss this matter too deeply, just in one sentence Lin Nian was given the greatest trust.

"I can do better, but I just don't have enough strength." Lin Nian said softly, looking at the row of corpses of the victims.

"Then keep moving forward." Angers said.

Lin Nian nodded slightly, then fell silent.

The two people, an old man and a young man, looked at this silent and depressing scene with no regrets or regrets, only a touch of mourning. Behind the door of the cabin that was cut open, the crew looked at their backs from a long distance away, and also Look at the remains of those who died silently bidding their souls farewell.

They observed a moment of silence, then raised their heads and continued walking forward.

Around the Monyach, lights flooded in from all directions, searchlights shone on the principal and the boy on the deck, motorboats speeding on the river sounded their sirens, and military and police cars surrounded both sides of the river embankment.

All the crew members have entered the cabin of the Monyach. Ye Sheng, Aki, Mance, Selma and others have all retreated to the background. Now the only people who can represent the Monyach are the two people on the deck. Personal figures, this kind of scene can only be handled by them.

Lin Nian silently paid attention to the situation on the river. Those roaring people dropped floats between the motorboats and pulled out a fluorescent blockade around the huge dragon corpse. Inside the explosion-proof police cars on both sides of the river embankment No one came out with a loudspeaker to persuade them to surrender, but the entire scene was cordoned off silently and orderly.

No one rashly approached the floating corpse of the next-generation species. There might occasionally be shocks and whispers at the solemn death scene of that majestic creature, but after a while those exclamations died down and became unruffled. The most interesting thing was that Lin Nian also saw There was even someone on the motorboat who couldn't bear the power of the dragon at close range and fainted. His companions just carried him aside without saying a word and continued the blockade operation.

The figures on the river were chaotic but eerily quiet. This scene reminded Lin Nian of another group of people - the Kassel College Executive Department.

The same efficiency, the same coldness, moving around the yellow line of warning, but not taking a step beyond it without permission. The big net of warning is silently densely spread across the entire river area, in order to completely turn the water area into a state in a short period of time. "restricted area".

Lin Nian lowered his head slightly and asked, "One of my own?"

"If it's for the general trend of the world, then yes. But if it's for profit, then no." Ange looked at this scene and said calmly, "Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Hundreds of rooms The king is still suffering from poverty, but what about the people who live in households?"

"The local secret party." Lin Nian understood the meaning of Angers after the second half of the sentence, ".'Orthodox' person?"

"Professor Jiang Peijiu told you." Anger said.

"Yes." Lin Nian nodded and glanced at the group of people who secretly had their eyes locked on him and the principal on the deck. The light of countless fireflies floating on the black river in the darkness confirmed his guess and the reality of this group of people. This is not a demonstration, but the need to work around the next generation of dragon bodies. If they don't light up the golden eyes, they can't even get close to this river area.

"Is Dong XZ okay?" Angers asked.

"After hiding it, will they snatch the brass can?"

"The last alliance ceremony Kassel College had with them was during World War II. After the Pearl Harbor incident, we received an intention to form an alliance and drew up an alliance with them on a ceremonial ship. The terms of the agreement were approximately for a period of approximately There is a statute of limitations of a hundred years, so it will still be observed. But what I am worried about is that the people who signed a covenant with us are the old generation more than half a century ago. The new generation of young people may not understand some of the shackles in the covenant. No, after all, our posture at that time was much higher than it is today. Changes in the mountains will affect the rapidity of the water, and the attitude of people to get along with each other has also undergone positive changes with the changes of times and the height of the position. .”

Ange put his hands into his pockets. This action made many people with tense forehead veins in Jiangxia slightly relax their fingers that were a little white due to excessive exertion, but many eyes were still locked on the man beside the old man. On that boy. The boy stood up straight. His presence was as much or even greater than that of the old man. The light from the motorboat hit that handsome side face with a cold and indifferent look.

"So we are the enemy." Lin Nian said. His eyes reflected the tightly held firearms in the hands of the men and women with golden eyes in the motorboat. Across the river, he could smell the smell of gun oil and gunpowder. , as if the form is on the verge of breaking out.

"No, the answer is that I don't know." Angers said calmly, looking at the helicopter coming over the mountains in the distance. "The incident happened suddenly, and nothing can be said for certain. The strategic plan can slowly and slowly mend all omissions. The shortcomings are perfect, but the human heart is not good enough. You can never figure out the human heart. No one can guess whether an old friend from the past will shoot you in the back."

"Then things seem to be very troublesome." Lin Nian looked at the "Seven Deadly Sins and Wrath" soaked in blood on the head of Jiang's previous generation dragon. The sword's current 'living spirit' was also in an activated state. Without Lin Nian, After years of control, the dragon's blood in the dragon's body is still constantly meeting the needs of 'livingness'. This is warming up, preparing for a situation that may get out of control at any time.

"I said, not necessarily. Before they send representatives to negotiate with us, any judgment they make may be in vain." Angers, surrounded by everyone's attention, actually took out a cigar and toasted it carefully with a match. The acrid white smoke came out again. Behind him, Lin Nian silently took a step back, probably because he was not sensitive to the secondhand smoke.

"But remember, we are reasonable." Ange looked back at Lin Nian and said, "No matter what happens in this incident, we are reasonable."

Where does rationality come from? Lin Nian wanted to ask this, but when he saw Angers blowing a heavy puff of smoke towards the corner of the deck while he was lightly lighting his cigar ashes, he suddenly understood a lot when he saw the pile of tragically dead frogman corpses in the dense smoke. .

"The brass pot is our bottom line, and everything else can be used as a bargaining chip. This time we have more chips than we thought. If the other party chooses to trade, then we will trade. If the jackals come, there will naturally be shotguns and sticks. . This is our trophy. We paid our lives and got rewards, so there are some bottom lines that cannot be crossed no matter what." Angre's clear pupils reflected the appearance of the group of victims.

"Will the Seven Deadly Sins also become bargaining chips in the transaction?" Lin Nian asked.

"Can't bear to part with that alchemy sword set?" Ange looked at Lin Nian.

"I have a hunch that I will use them in the future." Lin Nian nodded and admitted. This was his own hunch, and it was also the blond girl's reminder to him in advance. If his enemies in the future are only as powerful as today, Stronger, then the appropriate weapon must be held in your hands.

"Then let's revise the bottom line." Ange smiled nonchalantly, a bit rogue, but his tone reminded Lin Nian of another person, "Whether the negotiation goes smoothly or not depends on whether the representative sent by the other party has a tough attitude. In a sense, we can also find out what step they have understood about our actions based on their attitude, so as to make corresponding steps back and steps forward. I am an educator, and at my age, few people can understand it in a relative way. He talked to me about some exchange of interests in a high-level manner. Of course, you can also say that I am relying on my old age to show off my old age (he chewed his cigar and shrugged with a smile). So in general, this negotiation is beneficial to us. .”

"Are there any students of yours in the 'Orthodox' school?" Lin Nian suddenly asked.

Angers paused for a moment, and the old guy scratched his eyebrows in a rare move and hesitated, "Well, although it is praised by the students as 'peaches and plums all over the world,' sometimes it is not really possible to eat everywhere."

The helicopter pierced the sky, the propeller noise was deafening, and white light shone on the deck. Lin Nian looked up and saw only a blurry white shadow standing in the helicopter's cabin in the white light, looking down at them.

After a moment, the white figure actually jumped out of the helicopter cabin and landed on the deck of the Monyach. It fell from a height of tens of meters and made a loud crashing sound on the deck, which was very disturbing. I just felt like the stone was smashing into the iron and it was dull.

Under the searchlight of the helicopter, the white shadow on the deck stood up. A pure white wide T-shirt covered most of the girl's body, and only two long white legs were exposed. She stepped on a pair of snow-white shoes that matched the color of the clothes. sports shoes. Behind her lay a long sword, with her left hand gently resting on the hilt. Under the illumination of the searchlight, her eyebrows were as dark as snow, and she was equally radiant and unstoppable.
