Above Destiny

Chapter 360 Life or death
At the same time, as a series of speeding missiles whizzed across the sky, under the guidance of satellites, they flew towards their original users and fell from the sky.

At this moment on the ground, there were not only the two observation vehicles in the distance that came to check the results of the battle, but also the wilderness robbers on the snowy fields farther away who were excitedly moving for the high bounty, or the guys who were quietly following behind them wanting to take advantage of the situation and rob, and even the four convoys of Echo, Xinyuan, Tiancheng and Northern Territory... all received generous rewards and incentives.

It was just like the gentle aunties in the kindergarten took out a basket of candy.

One for each person, everyone gets one, children, line up and don’t rush!

At this moment, when they looked up and saw the fireworks falling from the sky, countless people's faces suddenly changed and they cursed loudly.

Alpaca! I told you not to use these things, but you really won't listen to me, right?

Who else could have created such a big scene in the Desolate State, other than those lunatics from the North? !
In an instant, blazing flames and storms rose from the ground one after another. Above the dark sky, the dancing aurora was also dyed scarlet.

In the end, outside the bustling Heihe City, the busy rally opening ceremony venue had fallen into chaos, and the chaotic crowd scattered in the shrill air raid sirens.

A crooked missile flew slowly from afar, and in the midst of everyone's gloomy faces, it exploded loudly in the wilderness at a long distance.

Spreading flames and poison, bringing greetings from afar.

By the way, the North was kicked into a mud pit, waiting for questions from all sides...

And from higher up, beyond the more distant sky, in the vacuum of the universe, satellites are adjusting their angles imperceptibly, looking down indifferently.

Behind the invisible data link, an invisible hand stretched out and easily operated everything across a long distance. Finally, it disappeared among the countless signals and noises like a ghost.

The moment Ji Jue noticed the satellite signal locator on the other vehicle, everything at this moment was destined.

Just as An Ning had wondered, it was true that the ex machina could not interfere with the missile from such a long distance, but from the very beginning, the positioning information received by the missile was false!
Long before that, the Hand of Isis had already infiltrated the launch camp along with the satellite signals and took control of everything silently.

After all, even Ji Jue himself did not expect that when he just tentatively asked if there was any high-end navigation, Lu Yingyue took out the satellite operation rights of the Haizhou garrison base from his pocket, along with the mobilization permission of Haizhou's largest Chaocheng supercomputing center.

After just saying one thing, "Don't get caught," he threw this deadly thing into Ji Jue's hands and let him play with it as he pleased.

That nonchalant look really makes it hard to guess where her confidence comes from.

However, according to Professor Ye Xian: Lu Yingyue has always been like this. As a partner, she is reputable and stable, but once you are separated from her by a relationship of interest, it is difficult to find even a little bit of merit in her. Even if there is, it is just a disguise she displays.

If there was still some humanity in her early years, she would have completely embraced Tianyuan by now and become an out-and-out power creature. The only similarity between her and carbon-based humans is probably their appearance.

As a cannon fodder, it made no difference to Ji Jue whether the bosses above were merciful or cruel. At the very least, as long as he paid enough, approved documents quickly and was willing to take the blame, he was better than most leaders in the world.

At this moment, accompanied by the fierce lights rising and falling on the distant snowfield, Ji Jue raised his hand and pointed at the two observation vehicles in the distance that were retreating in panic and trying to escape under the aiming of missiles.

"The rest is up to you."

He drank the remaining tea in the cup in one gulp, jumped off the hood, and walked towards the cockpit:
"After watching the fireworks, it's time to go to work."

"I'm super—"

At this moment, in the sheltered place of the snowfield, Shi Ran, the navigator of the Chonghui convoy, who had just been waving a shovel to dig the car out, looked up and stared at the fire in the distance, stunned.

Even the driver who was smoking and idling nearby was stunned. He poked his head in and asked: "Is the fight this year so exaggerated? Why are there missiles?"

Shi Ran said nothing, his expression gloomy.

Soon, the satellite phone rang, and a familiar voice came from the other end.

Give instructions.

"Aran, withdraw from the competition."

"Withdraw from the competition?" Shi Ran frowned: "Now? This is just the beginning."

"Now is not the time to play around."

The person on the other end sighed: "Remember what I told you last time... Everyone has increased their stakes. This time, the Desert Sea Rally has become a gambling table.

Now the four companies are going crazy, using their channels and positions to gamble with Haichao to decide the winner.

We can't get involved at this critical moment. No, if you're still on the field, those guys will definitely find a way to involve you!"

He paused and solemnly reminded: "Yunzhou doesn't take sides, remember?"

Yunzhou obeys the arrangements of Zhongcheng and will obey whoever dominates Zhongcheng.

At this critical moment, we must not get involved in this storm.

It is foreseeable that the route of the future Wild Sea Rally will become a meat grinder. If anything goes wrong, even with Shi Ran's identity, it will be difficult to guarantee his safety.

"and many more--"

Shi Ran was about to speak when a faint sound suddenly came from the other end of the phone, like a report, followed by a long silence, and even a sigh:
"I just received news that the head of the southern part of the Northern Territory jumped off the building because his job corruption and bribery from the empire's spies were exposed."

"The person in charge of the northern part of the northern border..." Shi Ran was stunned and said, "Isn't that Lu Tianhao's uncle?"

"He's just an uncle. I'm thankful that I was able to deal with the inquiries from Central City and the military."

The voice on the other end of the phone sneered: "It's more than just one uncle. Now the four families have put all their wealth on the gambling table. Lu Yingyue has been dragging them on for so long, forcing them to jump off the wall. Do you still expect them to have a bottom line?!"

Shi Ran was stunned for a moment and said nothing more.

"Other people have big families and big businesses, and uncles and aunts are worthless. Ah Ran, our family doesn't have so many people. I only have this one nephew. Chonghui will eventually have you in charge in the future. Do you understand?"

"I-I know."

Shi Ran sighed helplessly, looked back at the snowy field, kicked the tire angrily and cursed.

"Let's go."

He waved to the driver, "Resign."

Amid the wailing of countless gamblers, five minutes later, the news spread everywhere - on the opening day of the Wild Sea Rally, the Chonghui team withdrew from the race due to an accident.

Soon after, a spokesperson for the Juguan Group announced that the Juguan team withdrew from the race due to the driver's physical condition.

Next up, it was Shengyu and Ditong...

In just half an hour, more than five teams failed and chose to withdraw due to the bad weather, which made the audience nervous about the fate of the remaining dozen teams.
.
"Ah, what a pity..."

In front of the broken and burning vehicle, there were corpses and blood everywhere. An Ning looked up at the black dot that gradually disappeared in the sky in the distance: "It ran away."

Different from the previous nomadic vehicles, the two vehicles that came to observe the battle results and take on the task of finishing off the enemy can almost be regarded as elite troops that have been on the battlefield for a long time.

Even with Ji Jue's assistance, they almost failed.

Even so, one still escaped.

The Entropy System, which had been pulling and maintaining distance from the beginning to the end, immediately controlled the strong wind and increased the distance again when it noticed the decline of its teammates. In addition, it had several alchemical creations on it, and it spared no expense in defense and escape, and it had already exceeded the pursuit distance.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ji Jue."

An Ning shook her head regretfully: "I don't bring much 'Ku Zhou' with me when I go out. To be on the safe side, for your safety, I don't recommend wasting it on this kind of stuff."

"You can't run away, don't worry."

Ji Jue raised his head and glanced at the black spot that was about to disappear. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the silent Pan Ying from the blood-stained steel claws of the calf. The broken blade made a low sound in his hand, and was temporarily isolated by the flowing mercury amid the clanging sound.

"use this."

He held it upside down and handed it over, "Throw it over."

"Hmm, what is that? Oh~ That's fierce, did you do this too?"

An Ning held Pan Ying, sighed, and looked at it carefully, not caring at all that the black spot was getting farther and farther away. After looking and playing enough, she finally raised her head.

After jumping back a few times, he raised his fingers to estimate the distance and nodded.

One step, two steps, three steps. In an instant, that figure flashed forward, passing silently like the wind, and within three steps, running helped - and in her hand, Pan Ying suddenly whistled and shook, silver light burst out, and the seal was broken under the rough control.

Get out.

Unlike the previous glimmer, it was like a mighty and surging blood-red torrent!
Thunder roared, blood flashed, and Pan Ying, which had slipped out of his hand, was instantly unsealed, breaking the speed of sound, swirling and swinging at an incredibly fast speed, above the speed of sound, or even faster.

Even though the weapons and materials were not specially made for Fei Guang, with the help of his extraordinary skill of pitching pots, they were instantly transformed into scarlet electric light.

Crossing the sky, it merged into the figure that dodged in fear and jumped into the clouds.

From beginning to end, there was no change of direction, it just went straight forward.

From a bystander's perspective, it was as if the opponent had actively bumped into him, and the opponent's avoidance direction had been locked at the moment of the attack!
No loud noise was heard.

There was only a flash of scarlet flame in the thick clouds. Then, a magnificent blood-red light rolled back, dragging with it a thunderous sound, and flew backwards.

As the sword spun, the hilt fell perfectly between An Ning's five fingers.

It even saved Ji Jue the trouble of picking it up again.

"how is it going?"

An Ning turned around, ignoring the evil intentions, and grinned proudly: "Brother Ji Jue, was I handsome just now? Handsome or not!"

It’s a pity that Ji Jue seemed not to hear it.

Next to the twisted and burned-out basket, he lowered his eyes and looked indifferently at the corpse in the pool of blood and the twitching and dying face.

“There are still some alive.”

he said softly.

“Let it go…let it go…”

The Chosen One of the Vortex System coughed and spat out a large amount of internal organs. Even though he was burned by the flames and hit by the evil bullets, his body was torn into pieces, with only a small half left, but he was still alive.

It's simply a miracle of life.

It’s a pity that this tiny miracle is about to be completely extinguished.

"please……"

As those dark eyes looked down at him, his broken expression twitched, he was desperate, and he choked with prayers: "I, I... I still have a child... I..."

"if--"

Ji Jue suddenly said: "If I were to beg for mercy now, would you let me go?"

At that moment, the sobbing sound stopped abruptly.

The survivor was stunned and speechless, his distorted expression twitching. He wanted to give an answer, but no sound came out.

No words needed.

The answer had already been placed before them.

"That's the reality, right? There's no need to be ashamed. We're all the same."

Ji Jue shrugged regretfully, patted his remaining shoulder, and comforted him, "Think positively about things, at least I won't kill your child, right?
But then again—"

He paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Will he come to seek revenge on me in the future?"

In a moment of dead silence, the face suddenly froze, cracked and twisted in fear, roaring madly, and squirming like a dying beast, trying to bite the man in front of it to pieces.

However, he was trampled upon and could not move.

Trampled into frozen pools of blood and mud.

"You see, it's normal to be afraid. There are many things in the world that are scarier than death, not just death." Ji Jue sighed, "Not only are you afraid, I'm afraid too. I'm even more afraid than you think."

If I bow my head and admit defeat, will you let me go?
If Yan Jian begged for mercy while being hung up and tortured, would you show mercy?

If Lu Feng dropped his gun and fled, and Chen Yubo raised his hands in surrender, would you show mercy? If Lu Ma and Xiaoling shed tears, would you show mercy?

Even if I kneel down and pray, can there be a way to survive?

Even if I committed suicide before that, could you leave a chance for others to survive?

The answer has already been determined.

Ji Jue could accept that he lost, and could accept that he would die without a burial place.

But from the moment they tried to involve irrelevant people, he no longer intended to accept this...

"I don't want to die."

Ji Jue lowered his eyes and told him: "So, you, all of you, everyone here and everyone not here, must die."

At that moment, Pan Ying rang and shook.

It flew into Ji Jue's hands by itself.

他 说:

"——I came here not for victory or defeat, but to make all of you die completely."

The broken blade swung past.

Silently, endless blood gathered and sank into the sword, disappearing.

Between the opened steel claws, Pan Ying returned to its sheath and sank into the darkness again.

In the dead silence, there was no other noise except the crackling sound of snow falling to the ground and ice crystals growing.

"Let's go, An Ning."

Amid the scorched earth and wreckage, Ji Jue turned around and waved, inviting: "Let's go and kill them all."

An Ning stared at his expression in a daze, gazing at the corners of his mouth that curled up. From the reflection of his pupils, she seemed to see: the ferocious beast that briefly broke free from its shackles and finally chased the white deer.

Then, I could no longer suppress that brilliant smile.

"Ok!"

And so, jumping on their calves and horses, they left behind the burnt charcoal and set off again.

Towards the wilderness filled with thorns and death.

Amid the sound of the engine fading away, only the faint words floated in the wind: "By the way, that move just now was really cool."

"Really? Really? Compared with Aran?"

"Of course Xiao An is more handsome."

"why?"

"No reason, Xiao An is more handsome anyway..."

"Ah, stop the car ahead."

"doing what?"

“…Catch the little mouse!”
