The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

"But if you can become the fangs of the Federation."

After saying this, Mercury looked directly at Aloy and said nothing more, as if waiting for his answer.

Opportunity... Is it the Federation that wants to give me a chance?

Right now, the Kingdom and Thebit are training their troops. In a little while, the Thebit war machines will be deployed in the wasteland...

Now is the time for heroes to emerge...

Aloi clenched his fists and looked out the window. The night in Wilkin was still quiet.

......

Li Zhonghe gave Perlis a gift, said that he would also participate in the next [Black Dead Zone] operation, and then staggered away.

Perlis was still wondering what elegant gift this immortal swordsman would give her, but when she looked carefully, she found it was a 200-yuan voucher for a hot pot restaurant...

It seems that he is still a realist poet.

"..."

Back in the private room of the hot pot restaurant, Perlis gave the voucher to Shaya and then told her about her chance encounter with Li Zhonghe.

Su Yao and Carly were both very surprised, only Shaya was grinning.

Um...you don't even try to pretend, right?

In view of Shaya's need to pay the bill (although she had paid with a voucher), Perlis finally said nothing. After finishing the meal, the four people's [Sea of ​​Poetry] simultaneously received a message - it was a file sent by the headquarters, saying that the intelligence of the advance team had arrived.

Perlis quickly glanced through the intelligence: According to the records of the advance team, the area around the laboratory was full of dangers, and there were a large number of black water entities, making it difficult to clean up.

But this is not the biggest problem. What really makes the exploration more difficult is that the door of the laboratory has been completely blocked and it is difficult to open it by any forceful means.

The only way to open the door is with the three keys from the laboratory.

As long as one of the keys is found, the other two keys can be produced through reverse decoding to unlock the password of the laboratory.

As for the location of the key... the Wulan Operations Center is still searching for relevant historical information. According to them, at least one of the three keys is within the range of the [Black Dead Zone].

Originally, Perlis thought that this information search would take a long time, but she didn't expect that within just a dozen minutes, Chaoqu had sent relevant clues -

——The hard drive from the scientist that Su Yao found during the operation in the residential building has been traced back to its source.

Coincidentally, the location displayed by its tracing back is a specific coordinate within the [Black Dead Zone].

This means that the letters that the scientist received that guided him to open the passage to the netherworld were sent from the [Black Dead Zone].

This leads to the fact that the [Black Tide Cult] has a base inside the [Black Dead Zone].

As for the key to the laboratory, they must have some clues, or it must be in their hands.

This base, according to the observation map when the black fog dissipated, was a school.

Thus, the first reconnaissance location of the [Black Dead Zone] operation was determined three days later: the school, or in other words, the headquarters of the [Black Tide Cult].

“It went better than we thought.”

Su Yao said this. She was very nervous when reading the briefing, fearing that she would miss any important clues.

Shaya was much more casual. She focused more on the terrain. After taking a few glances, she said:

"Generally, it's easy to handle."

"Thanks to Su Yao for getting the hard drive," Perlis closed the [Sea of ​​Poetry], "otherwise, it would have delayed even more time."

"Ahahaha... I just did what I had to do... It's nothing..."

Su Yao smiled shyly, but Perlis's praise seemed like a shot in the arm for her, and the light in her eyes became brighter.

"Now that the time has been confirmed, let's take a good rest for a few days," Shaya said, "You can go to Wulan City to have a look, such as Chaoyue Gate and so on. There are many places to visit. Do you want to..."

"I have to go to the shooting range first! You two, let Saya take you out to play. I'll be leaving for a moment!"

Su Yao suddenly became serious. She stood up, nodded at the three of them, and then quickly left the hot pot restaurant.

Her transformation was so fast that the three of them were caught off guard.

"She...suddenly became so serious," Carly said.

"Well...Xiaoyao is like this," Saya sighed, "She...is too serious sometimes."

"It's so serious...it makes me feel sad."

......

6) Quiet Mist (Part 12)

After coming out of the hot pot restaurant, Shaya, who claimed to be an expert in travel, quickly found the most comfortable hotel in the area for Polys and Carly, and then they moved in together.

Perlis didn't notice it when they were having fun before, but now, she found that Shaya seemed a little tired. When she was not speaking, the corners of her eyes seemed to be a little dark, as if she was overdrawn.

"Okay, you two. I'm in the next room. You can find me if you need anything~"

Shaya smiled at Perlis and Carly, and just as she was about to leave the room, Perlis called her:

"Ms. Saya."

"Hmm?" Saya turned around, "What's wrong?"

"Did you hear anything outside?"

When Perlis came to her conclusion, Shaya's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled bitterly and sighed:

"I really can't hide it from you..."

"That's not the case," Perlis smiled faintly, "What happened?"

Perlis's train of thought was simple: Shaya had extraordinary hearing, which allowed her to hear the Black Tide followers far away outside the Great Wall, and this kind of hearing required a lot of her energy.

It's just that transporting goods shouldn't make one so tired. It's something Shaya really likes to do. But now there are dark spots in the corners of her eyes, as if she was tortured.

"I heard some voices outside the East Great Wall... They were not the voices of the regular Black Tide followers. They were more ancient and melodious, just like..."

Shaya hesitated, as if she was afraid that others would regard her next words as crazy talk:

"It's like singing a war song."

“War Song?” Carly frowned. “Is it a black water life with intelligence?”

"I don't know. I can't confirm it." Shaya shook her head. "In fact, I can't hear everything. For example, I have never heard the voice of the Black Khan that you saw when you landed on the coast."

"Then the sound this time..."

"I have a strange intuition... that voice wanted me to hear it on purpose," Saya took a deep breath, "The source of that voice... seemed to be broadcasting its position on the Kuroshio land without any scruples, as if it was eager for some challenge."

"What happened next? Did you find it?" asked Perlis.

"I ran a long way, determined several possible locations, locked an area, and then reported it to the Qilang military," Shaya said, "As for what it is... we have to wait for further investigation."

......

Beyond the East Great Wall - East Continent

"Feiyan 2-5 is about to enter the reconnaissance area. Keep in touch. End."

A factor-energy fighter jet was flying swiftly through the clouds, with white mist bursting out from its blade-like wings from time to time, like an arrow piercing through the clouds.

After entering the reported area, the pilot activated the wide-area radar, attempting to find at least the source of the target in the Kuroshio land.

The factor energy wave swept out from under the fighter, but did not transmit back.

"Signal interference is similar to that in the triangle area. We can only use optical observation," the pilot reported. "We expect to lose contact. Keep in touch."

The echo from the headquarters was full of chaotic electronic sounds, and the driver knew that this time he was most likely encountering the real thing.

He made full preparations, then maneuvered the fighter plane into a dive, entering the sea of ​​clouds like a fish diving into the ocean.

When the clouds broke, the Black Tide Land appeared in his sight, and what he saw made him gasp.

——The earth came alive.

The dark ground was undulating with waves, like real ocean waves. Countless black dots were moving up and down in it, like the tips of a magnetic fluid.

That was a black tide army on the march.

As the fighter jet got closer and closer to the ground, the pilot saw a presence that could not be detected by radar.

It was a tall figure wearing pitch-black armor, walking in front of the queue like a statue, dragging a broken giant sword in his hand.

When the pilot noticed Him, He also raised his head and looked at the diving fighter.

At that moment, the driver was sure that the gaze met his.

Without hesitation, the pilot immediately adjusted the energy wave communication to maximum power and shouted:

"Detected the [Lord of the Black Tide]! I repeat, detected the [Lord of the Black Tide]! The exact coordinates have been sent! The exact coordinates have been sent!"

This is a high-power factor energy wave. Its transmission will cause most of the systems on the fighter jet to fail instantly, leaving only those functions that do not rely on factor energy.

This is a self-destructive form of messaging, done because the driver knows there is no way back.

He saw the huge statue raising its sword, and a fear that was almost biological instinct erupted, causing him to burst into tears.

But he still held the joystick tightly and locked the fire control system on the knight in the hideous black armor:

"Long live the Qilang Republic (Qilang language)!"

The machine guns burst into sparks, and all the onboard missiles flew out, all heading towards the dark figure.

The pilot didn’t have time to see the missile hit the target. The next moment, he saw the broken black sword appear in front of him.

——Using some unknown means, [The Lord of the Black Tide] folded the space. At this moment, He and the driver looked at each other closely.

If you watch from a hundred meters away, you will probably only see the [Lord of the Black Tide] on the ground swinging his giant sword, and the fighter jets in the air explode out of thin air.

But the driver knew that the blade of the broken giant sword really hit his head.

"boom--"

The fighter plane exploded, and the missiles and machine guns were swallowed up by the dark shadows before they touched the ground, disappearing without a trace.

Above the Black Tide land, the [Lord of the Black Tide] put down his hand and continued moving forward as if nothing had happened.

He continued to mutter something in a low voice, and no one except a very few qualified people could hear His battle song.

......

In the Chaoqu Operations Center, an urgent report was sent to Yan Chu's [Shihai] terminal.

He raised his wrist, opened the attachment after reading the text, and listened carefully to the contents:

"...【Lord of the Black Tide】...Coordinates..."

This is a strong factor energy wave, a message that is only emitted in desperate situations and will definitely be clearly received.

But even so, the information is already vague to the extreme.

Fortunately, at least those four words were clearly received -

——For the first time, the Qilang people observed the [Lord of the Black Tide].

"Activate [Sky Eye], conduct indiscriminate bombing of the target triangle area, and try to establish observation means."

Yan Chu said as he pushed aside all the documents in front of him and inserted a small device into the brain-computer interface on the side of his brain. The surface of his black eyes suddenly lit up with a blue-white light.

"Received, starting..."

That day, hundreds of missiles were launched from missile silos throughout Qilang, like a stairway to heaven, connecting the sky and the ground.

Only a very small number of people living in remote areas could see these thousands of white tracks, and in their view, these were just routine missile launches and they did not take them seriously.

And just like that, without most people noticing, the prelude to a decisive battle for the survival of civilization slowly unfolded.

......

6) Quiet Mist (Part 13)

"Come on, little white flower, open your mouth~"

In the hotel, Carly put Polys on the bed, and a small blue light flickered on her fingertips.

Perlis sat on the bed in a duck-like posture. Although she didn't quite understand what Carly was going to do, she still opened her mouth obediently:

"what..."
