Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 508 507. It is important to combine work and rest, but don’t rest all the time

It sounds dangerous, but Leica didn't do anything extreme.

At most, he would hug her tightly for a while, to avenge himself for being used as a pillow when he was squeezed into the bed at school (obviously it had nothing to do with Cypher), and then complain about why there was no strange smell on his body.

Well, if there is any, it must have been left by Dr. Mei. If not, it means Dr. Mei ate it all. Anyway, it's all that guy's fault.

Anyway, putting all these trivial matters aside, when Seifer had just left the room after confirming that there was no one outside the rest area, he saw Xiaotao suddenly rushing towards him from another corridor.

She slammed on the brakes just before she nearly collided with Cypher—and then a hand grabbed her head, pressing hard against her skull.

"It hurts so much... Ahhhh my head is going to split! No, I can already hear my skull screaming! Teacher, I was wrong. I don't know why, but I was wrong-"

Xiao Tao has already learned the so-called skill of 'apologizing even if you don't know the reason'. In other words, she is ready to find a good woman to marry.

Having strayed from the topic, Cypher let go of her. "So... why are you rushing over here in such a hurry? Have you finally run into funding problems and are you planning to run away?"

"Huh? Uh uh... No, nothing like that. I just heard a strange broadcast and then realized the teacher was here, so I ran over here!"

So that's how it is. Since this is a serious matter, let's not play tricks on her.

Cypher asked her to hand over the information, but Tao waved her hand and directly grabbed Cypher's arm and rushed to the science cabin. Her physical strength and energy can only be said to be beyond ordinary people.

After a while, Seifer took the headphones handed to him by Xiang in the science cabin. After putting them on, a strange coded sound came from inside.

To her, it was just a normal communication, except that the content was more exciting.

At this time, the mercenary system was giving orders to the units still in the storm circle, asking them to reach the breeze circle within a week, and then go directly to the North Pole after setting up camps at the seven coordinates.

The North Pole area and route have been confirmed, and now they need to build a blocking position to delay the company.

So the question is, what kind of benefits does the mercenary system promise these people to give them the courage to fight against the company? Or do certain benefits surpass their fear of death?

Seifer listened for a while, confirmed that the report had started to loop, and took off his headphones. He turned around and saw three people staring at him eagerly.

Xiang was standing next to him, covering his ears with his hands, looking quite peaceful and enjoying.

After telling the three of them the general content and asking them to help deliver the message to Feldrich, Sefer asked with rare curiosity, "Does it feel good to listen to your own blood or heartbeat like this?"
Xiang nodded slowly. "It makes me feel at ease and healed. I usually do this when I'm relaxing. Do you want to try it?"

My ears are not as sensitive as yours. I can't tell whether there is groundwater or something like that from geological activity.

Seifer thought for a moment, then suddenly reached out: "Would you like to hear my voice?"

After getting permission, Seifer stood behind Xiang and gently placed his hands on her ears, which seemed particularly soft and tender due to wearing headphones for a long time.

At that moment, Xiang's eyes widened.

The sound of blood flowing, the clacking of muscles moving within the body, the steady heartbeat that could almost be listened to as a benchmark, the warmth in his palms, and the breath that enveloped him as Cypher moved—

His head was dizzy, and the 'dong dong' sounds were like knocks on his head. Every sound made Xiang feel that his thoughts were shattered, but it was very comfortable, as if his head was melting.

This is what the ultimate healing voice should be like!

Her expression was so relaxed that she seemed almost dazed. Xiang sat limply in the chair, not making a sound. So much so that Seifer thought she hadn't heard enough, and she maintained this posture until Xiao Tao came in. She opened her eyes wide in horror: "Teacher, the minister has been killed!!"

"Don't talk nonsense. I just wanted her to hear the sounds this body can make... Did you tip off so quickly?"

"You're talking like we're some lowly minions. That's too much! Even a teacher shouldn't say that! And, after I told them about it, they seemed really surprised!"

Xiao Tao came over and found that Xiang was lying there with a peaceful expression, even with an expression of "this life is worth it", which made him look extremely depressed.

A few minutes later, Seifer finally let go of his hand. At that moment, he seemed to sense someone's reluctance to let go - but the most important thing now was the commission he was about to complete. These small personal requests could be made up later.

After dealing with the minor matters here, Seifer, with the help of Saint Nai who had refreshed nearby at some point, sneaked back to the main control room with her. Seifer then told her to be careful of Dr. Mei getting into the jar again, and then switched to the backup body.

Standing in the room again in his robot posture, Cypher waited for a moment and rushed directly into Feldrich's room: "Here I come again!"

"? This is your first time here today, why is it again?"

"Because I just passed by your door but didn't go in, it means I'm busy with work."

"..."

"And it's the original body!"

"Are you waiting for me to scold you? Or, after working for so long, your disgusting interest as a mercenary has finally kicked in, and you feel that if you don't get scolded, you will be physically and mentally unhappy?"

Feldrich pulled down the corner of his mouth in displeasure. It was not because he was dissatisfied with Sefer's attitude, but because he was dissatisfied with the fact that he didn't even look at Sefer when he walked over in person, and even came over in such a metal shell.

Suppressing the resentment and evil thoughts surging within him, Feldrich pursed his lips somewhat stiffly. "So you heard it. That guy gradually couldn't help himself and began to implement his plan."

"Then I have good news for you, mercenary. The road to the Breeze Circle has been opened, and the company now plans to push the front line further forward."

Cypher crossed his arms and asked, "How far do we plan to advance? We're inside the storm's circle now, and they've undoubtedly ambushed quite a few people outside."

Even one can imagine what kind of blow will be suffered by those who break out of the storm circle, and if nothing unexpected happens, the enemy will definitely establish complete defensive positions at various passes.

It's really a bit of a bummer for corporate mercenaries to want to break out of the storm and fight to the outside world.

In response, Feldrich unexpectedly grinned: "It seems that your understanding of our technology is still not enough... mercenary."

So what other outrageous technology do you have? At most, you can just indiscriminately attack the outside world from within the storm? But even deploying defenses in the breeze zone requires the advance reconnaissance team to send back information...

Thinking this way, Sefer did not really understand the extent of the boldness of these companies or people in the desert.

Many times, some things are just a matter of whether you dare to do them, not whether you can do them.

It was like there was a defensive position in the Breeze Circle, specifically designed to attack those pioneering teams or corporate mercenaries that could not be reached by communication. After the news spread, Ms. Jin Junmei, who was in charge of the forward area, ordered the factory to start work.

Make some... devices that can help the mercenaries solve problems easily and simply, and then send them all into the storm circle.
