Chapter 391: Long Reunion
"Ah!!!!"
Amid the tragic wails, sparks of failure burst out all over Zhou Hannian's body, and the energy core burst out with an unprecedented roar, but it was only the last sound before it was damaged.
Su Mo took advantage of the situation and pierced his hand into Zhou Hannian's chest, directly pulled out the energy core, and crushed it on the spot.
The energy supply disappeared, and all of Zhou Hannian's prostheses failed. Coupled with the serious injuries, the whole person fell to the ground with a bang.
He trembled on the ground like a dead fish, and his sluggish eyes looked at Su Mo with deep confusion with his last strength.
Until his death, he didn't know how he lost.
He clearly judged that Su Mo couldn't withstand his full-strength attack, so why didn't he die in the end.
Why did Su Mo's Crimson Rose Blood Code suddenly have such a big leap.
The answer to all this, only Su Mo himself knows.
The sudden upgrade of the Crimson Rose Blood Code has nothing to do with it itself.
What worked was the earliest and most special blood code on Su Mo's body, the "Ancestral Blood Code" of the "Dawn" clearance prop.
The ancestral blood code has many ability branches, such as the most basic devouring, which can hunt other people's blood codes for its own use.
Another example is the later further "homomorphic devouring", which can turn the blood codes it already has into nutrients when hunting them, so that the existing blood codes can be upgraded.
The ability of the ancestral blood code that Su Mo just showed is called "autophagy", which is newly developed by adjusting the blood code gene sequence in the future.
The effect of "autophagy" is very similar to "homomorphic devouring", both of which devour blood codes as nutrients to provide blood code upgrades, but the target is not the enemy, but oneself.
The autophagy ability allows Su Mo to use a certain blood code as the base and devour other blood codes of his own.
The level of the devoured blood code will be reduced, but the nutrients obtained in this process can allow the base blood code to complete the upgrade.
Su Mo previously had five major blood codes in his body: Scarlet Rose, Crazy Skeleton, Python Poison, Dragon Flame, and Illusion Shackles. The levels ranged from critical to super-limited, and each blood code was not particularly strong when taken alone.
But through the ability of autophagy, Su Mo suppressed the four blood codes of Crazy Corpse, Python Poison, Dragon Flame, and Illusion Shackle to the lowest "Awakening Level", which was exclusively for the promotion of the Scarlet Rose Blood Code, and directly made it soar to the fifth level of "Scorching Blood Level".
From the beginning, the so-called "exchanging injuries for injuries" was a trap set by Su Mo for Zhou Hannian.
Zhou Hannian's judgment was actually correct. With Su Mo's previous Scarlet Rose Blood Code level, exchanging injuries for injuries was completely courting death.
But this judgment itself was Su Mo's deliberate misleading of him.
The trump card of the Ancestor Blood Code was something Zhou Hannian could not have expected in any way.
At the last moment of the attack, Su Mo forcibly raised the Scarlet Rose Blood Code level through "autophagy", causing his "dead line" to soar, and he took the blow that could have killed him, and completed the final Jedi counterattack.
Su Mo walked to Zhou Hannian's body, looked down at him and said, "Sorry, senior, I don't want to kill you. You are also a poor man bound by fate."
"But we are in different positions. Now it's a matter of life and death. If the victory and defeat were reversed today, I'm sure you would kill me decisively."
"Have a good journey, King of Mercenaries."
After saying that, Su Mo stabbed the Yueyin arm blade into Zhou Hannian's brow.
Zhou Hannian's body trembled irregularly, his eyes showed a strong unwillingness, and he stretched his hand to the sky as if he wanted to grab something.
There was a bird flying over there, it soared freely in the sky, light and agile, no matter how the humans on the ground fought, it had nothing to do with it.
The bird drew a beautiful arc in the air, sometimes climbing, sometimes diving, shuttling between the light curtains of the sun, as if performing a passionate dance of life.
Compared with the powerful extraordinary humans, this is just an insignificant little life.
But how free it is.
Zhou Hannian's hands fell to the ground helplessly, and as his pupils completely dilated, he became completely motionless.
The free bird flew farther and farther away, disappearing among the distant mountains.
The king of mercenaries who was bound in the cage finally got his freedom.
After the battle, Nuobai brought Dongdong back.
Dongdong's body was still as hard as ever. He was beaten into such a miserable state. After a while, he was not only fine, but he didn't need to be carried anymore and could walk on the ground.
The three of them came to the place where the airship had made an emergency landing. Su Mo broke through the heavy bones protecting it, looked into the cabin, and then let out a long breath.
The battle just now was extremely fierce, and Su Mo had been worried about whether it would cause damage to the Nether Spring device.
Fortunately, the battlefield was a certain distance away from the airship, and the bone barrier set up by Su Mo was very thick, so Fenrir was not affected at all and was still quietly dormant in the Nether Spring.
Su Mo looked towards the eastern sky, which was the direction of the Tianmen Patrol Station.
"Let's go. We've wasted a lot of time. Xibel must be getting impatient."
On April 12, the 17th day after the Shangting Special Team entered Crescent City, a shocking news came.
Just now, the Tianmen Patrol Station, which had fallen during the beast crisis, was attacked again.
According to the news sent back by the garrison, the attackers were the wolf raiders led by "Wolf King" Fenrir and "Red Wolf" Xibel.
This news shocked the World Government, especially the Shangting Guard stationed in Crescent City.
The entire city was clearly under control, and suspicious people who had different intentions towards the authorities were detained, and Crescent City was also surrounded like an iron barrel.
How did Fenrir escape under such a dragnet? !
Moreover, the intelligence said that Fenrir led the attack on the Tianmen Patrol Station, indicating that she had restored her fighting ability. How did she do this? !
There is no point in asking why now, because the world government is facing a terrible situation - Fenrir is about to defect into the Borderlands.
It is not terrible for ordinary extraordinary people to defect to the land of no one. It has happened in the past. Anyway, small fish and shrimps cannot make waves. The worst thing is that they cannot be caught. From now on, both sides will live their own lives.
A God-blessed blood code carrier is not scary, because before any extraordinary strong person grows to this level, giant companies will put ultimate insurance on them to ensure that they work for them and can protect them when they show disloyalty. Wipe it off quickly.
But it is extremely dangerous for an extraordinary strong man who does not have the ultimate insurance and whose blood code reaches the divine blessing level to defect to the Borderlands.
No ultimate insurance means no means of erasing it if necessary, and no control at all.
Moreover, if the blood code can reach the Divine Blessing level, at Fenrir's young age, it is probably only a matter of time before he is promoted to the highest level of "Black King level".
When that time comes, it won't be a matter of killing or not, but the other party will have the capital to overturn the table.
The capital was too far away from the Tianmen Patrol Station and beyond reach. The High Court Council issued more than a dozen urgent orders to Luo, asking her to deal with them quickly.
Luo also accepted the order immediately, mobilized thousands of the best elites from the Shangting Guards in Crescent City, and personally led them to the Tianmen Patrol Station to intercept Fenrir.
After Luo left, the troops left in Crescent City were leaderless and in chaos. Everyone didn't know what to do and could only wait anxiously for news.
At this time of turmoil, in a hidden corner of the city where no one cared, Qi Ling and Zhao Yiming met alone.
Previously, Qi Ling invaded the Babel electronic system and not only intercepted Zhao Yiming's informant, but also erased all the evidence sent back by Zhou Hannian from his device.
Of course, Zhao Yiming has a way to continue to inform, such as telling any subordinate the news, and asking the other person to tell other people. In the end, if the news keeps coming, there will always be a way to reach the headquarters.
But it was useless because the evidence was gone.
He, Zhao Yiming, is a guilty person, and in the eyes of the headquarters, he is a semi-abandoned person who can only be used temporarily and thrown away when it doesn't work.
Luo is a powerful commissioner. No matter what methods she has used to hide herself, the headquarters trusts her.
He is a guilty person and wants to sue someone else's imperial envoy?
No evidence yet?
What are you daydreaming about?
What's more, Qi Ling controlled the assassination robot and put the gun on his head, not even giving him a chance to complain.
However, Zhao Yiming knew that he was not unable to make a comeback.
He is a strategist and the chess piece that can turn the tables has been laid a long time ago.
In the deserted corner of the alley, Zhao Yiming was leaning against his car, smoking a cigar.
According to the agreement, Zhao Yiming did not bring any guards, and Qi Ling did not bring any companions. The two sides met directly and talked directly.
Qi Ling wore a thin gray sweater and simple flat shoes under her long skirt. It was very different from the youthful and beautiful dress before. Her beauty had a mature and intellectual charm.
Seeing Qi Ling like this, Zhao Yiming smiled briefly and joked: "Being a mother is different, even her dress has changed."
Qiling said coldly: "You came to me just to talk nonsense?"
Zhao Yiming shrugged and said slowly: "First of all, I admit that I was negligent. I was staring at Luo, but I didn't expect that you were also staring at me. It's so good that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole follows behind."
"But this little oriole didn't see that there was another hand behind his back - do you know what I did to you when I took your eight hours?"
Qi Ling replied directly: "I used the Secret Peeping Ring on me and peeked into my three most impressive memories."
Appreciation appeared in Zhao Yiming's eyes, and he said in a high-spirited tone: "Su Mo is amazing. Not only has he cured the Silent Person's poison in you, but he also has such an understanding of the Ring of Secrets, a highly confidential device within the company."
"Then guess what I saw in the Circle of Secrets?"
Qi Ling said nothing, obviously unable to answer.
The Ring of Secrets works on the deep level of the subconscious. A person can clearly express some of his thoughts, but he cannot say what is in his subconscious. If he can express it, it is not called the subconscious.
A mysterious smile appeared on Zhao Yiming's face: "Qiling, I saw the encounter between you and Su Mo. I admit that he was very kind to you, and I also felt your inner fluctuations at that time."
"But don't you think it's a bit naive to commit yourself to him because of those things? Warmth ~ Redemption ~ Love ~ God, junior high school students don't accept this these days. I really can't imagine how a powerful person like you could do it because of these things Things are exciting.”
Qi Ling didn't say anything, she just pulled out the gun from her arms and pointed it at Zhao Yiming, with a cold and fierce light hidden in her amber eyes.
Zhao Yiming didn't seem nervous at all. He still had a smile on his face and even raised his hands in a cooperative manner: "Okay, I won't dictate your personal affairs."
"But now, I'm afraid you have to think about a question. Do you love Su Mo more, who you have only known for less than half a year?"
He paused deliberately when he said this to arouse Qi Ling's anxiety.
Then a sly smile appeared on his face, and he said meaningfully: "Or do you prefer Xiaoqi, who has been with you throughout your childhood?"
Qi Ling frowned, not understanding what Zhao Yiming meant by asking.
Not to mention that she didn't have an answer in her heart, even if she forced a ranking, what did it have to do with Zhao Yiming?
Xiaoqi is already dead, so what's the point of using a dead person to make excuses.
Zhao Yiming seemed to see through Qi Ling's heart. He walked to the trunk, put his hand on the handlebar, and said in a melodious tone: "In the ring of secrets, I also saw your childhood."
"Number Zero, a bullied monster. You should have stinked and rotted in a place like the Garden of Eden, and been alone until you died."
"But because of the appearance of that girl, Xiaoqi, that angelic girl used her life to build a bridge to freedom for you, allowing you to escape from the Garden of Eden, and finally you became who you are today."
"Tuk." The rear door was opened.
The sly smile on Zhao Yiming's face was also intense to the extreme: "After all these years, this childhood friend must be the most unforgettable thing for you. She is a regret that you can never make up for."
"But today, I return this old friend to you."
A figure came out of the back car. When Qi Ling saw her, her pupils suddenly became unfocused and dilated, and her breathing froze.
It was a beautiful girl, about the same age as Qi Ling, with a pair of bright jewel eyes.
Memories that have been buried by the years rush to my face.
When Qi Ling looked at the girl blankly, the girl also looked at her blankly, her eyes filled with tears unconsciously, and she trembled in disbelief: "Little monster?"
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Xiaoqi's breathing became rapid and her eyes widened. She couldn't believe what she saw. She stood there and leaned forward slightly, as if she wanted to make sure that her eyes did not deceive her.
I don’t know how long it took, but when it was confirmed that everything was real, uncontrollable emotions surged into my heart. Xiaoqi stumbled towards Qiling and hugged her tightly.
"Little Monster Zero is really you?!"
Xiao Qi stretched out her trembling fingers to touch Qi Ling's face, but she shrank in mid-air, as if she was afraid that what she was touching was a phantom.
And when she finally touched Qi Ling's cheek, a warm and real touch came from her fingertips. Her tears finally burst and fell down her cheeks, and a bright smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth.
"Little monster, why have you grown so big?"
"I still remember when we were in the Garden of Eden, you were just a little tall, thin and small, with no fat on your face. You are so beautiful now. Really beautiful."
Xiao Qi burst into tears, hugging Qi Ling tightly, feeling her heartbeat and the warmth of her body, and gently caressed her back with her little hands, as if to comfort her, and as if to confirm this reunion after a long separation. sense of reality.
Then he grabbed her clothes tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, everything would disappear.
After many years, two girls who had experienced hardships together in the Garden of Eden reunited with each other. (End of chapter)
