Byron's Blade

The oppressive sky of dark clouds lay heavily overhead.As the plane continued to climb and got closer and closer to the clouds, it felt terrifying as if it was about to be covered by a giant's cloth belt.

Most people in this era have never been on a plane.Airplanes are rare, because the development of Kejing has not yet been used to provide energy for aircraft, and the exploitation of oil is quite limited, so aircraft are even rarer.Even so, the federal air force is still much stronger than the navy.

The flying altitude of the plane is limited, and it cannot fly through the clouds to the top of the clouds, because the substances contained in the clouds are enough to make the plane lose its way, the radar will fail, and the crash will be the final outcome.Therefore, the highest flying altitude is no more than 5000 meters. At this altitude, it is quite tense to cross the Himalayas, but in any case, you cannot enter the clouds, which is a test of the pilot's level.

The route they chose was naturally to pass through the slowest section of the Himalayas.That's why the location is so northward. In the past hundred years, due to the movement of the tectonic plate, the mountain range has extended a large section to the north, almost enclosing the entire federal land.Even so, the newborn mountains to the north are low and fragile, and it is not uncommon for Federation pilots to cross the Himalayas.However, because the European continent on the opposite side is not inhabited by any people, and Zerg races are everywhere, in the end, the Federation has not developed such a route to Europe for so many years.

Thinking of a hundred years ago, the ancestors of the European descendants of the current Federation all trekked thousands of kilometers across the Himalayas to come to the land of the Federation. It is unimaginable to suffer and suffer along the way.Therefore, in the Federation, Europeans consider themselves to be the toughest, tenacious and greatest race. Asians have complicated emotions towards them. First, they are quite dissatisfied with their occupation of their own land, and second, they also sympathize with them for losing their former home.

Continental Europe is the most severely plagued by insects. I heard that at the beginning of the catastrophe, a giant sea monster appeared in the Atlantic Ocean. on the continents of Europe and the Americas.These seeds hatched the first batch of Zergs that came ashore. They are called "Primary Zergs" in history books. They have the strongest attack power, strong vitality, and a very long lifespan. Even though some of them have been wiped out, a considerable number of them survived. , gathering a very terrifying insect nest.

So far, human beings still don't understand where these Zergs come from, whether they are native species on the earth, or aliens from space.

Lan Ni sat in the back seat of the cab, looking at the frosty cab window and the fog outside the window, her thoughts were flying, and she couldn't help thinking a lot.The two pilots in front were operating the plane in an orderly manner. They were already far away from the control tower, and the signal was still relatively stable. When they crossed the Himalayas, they were out of the radiation range of Babel Tower and basically could not receive the signal.

So far, the flight has been relatively calm and there have been no accidents.After confirming to the driver that she could leave the seat, Lanny unbuckled her seat belt and stood up.He greeted Mu Xin:

"Boss, I'll go to the back and I'll be back in a while."

Mu Xin smiled and nodded, and said: "Come back as soon as possible and sit down, pay attention to safety."

Lanny first got out of the cab, passed the weapon control room behind the cab, and came to the side door, where there was a bathroom.She went into the bathroom, not to go to the bathroom, she felt a little airsick, and her ear pressure was uncomfortable, so she came to wash her face to relax.It has been an hour and a half of flying and she is about to cross the Himalayas. She is a little nervous and worried about whether she can pass safely.This was the first difficulty in their trip. They crossed a relatively low-lying valley in the mountains. The peaks on both sides were buried in the clouds. The visibility in the valley was not high, and it was difficult to guarantee that the dormant Zerg in the valley would not be disturbed.

Although winter is the weakest time of the Zerg, there are also species that live on snow-capped mountains and have long been accustomed to the cold.Especially on this plateau snow-capped mountain with an altitude of 4000-5000 meters, there are insects with wings like snow moths. The most disgusting thing is that this kind of insects have the habit of chasing heat sources. The aircraft dissipates heat so much that it is no different from moving heat sources. , once entangled, it is extremely difficult to get rid of.

She picked up the water and splashed it on her face. The cold touch made her feel refreshed. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped off the water on her face. She looked at herself in the mirror.Su Rong's beautiful phoenix eyes are still bright, but the fundus of her eyes is a little dark, showing fatigue.I've been really tired lately and haven't had a good rest.It's not that the long-distance travel overwhelmed her, it's just that the mental exhaustion has never diminished.

Mu Li regained her memory, which was a mixed blessing for her.Happily, Mu Li recalled the past with him, and the relationship between them deepened.The worry is that Mu Li may resent his father, General Friesman, even more because of his memory recovery.In fact, Mu Li has already said clearly that she hates Mu Xin.Even his biological mother was resentful, let alone General Friesman.Although Mu Li has never told her how she feels about General Friesman now, Lan Ni can imagine how much she hates such a culprit who caused her amnesia and caused her happy family to break up.

Lan Ni reunited with Mu Li, who had been missing for 13 years, four years ago. At that time, she was completely different from the woman who reappeared four years later.Taciturn, introverted to the extreme, but with a passion that cannot be expressed.That year, Lan Ni was 20 years old, and Mu Li was 21 years old. Mo Kexin invited Lan Ni to follow her to work in the church welfare home. Lan Ni felt that it was novel, so she followed.But she discovered that on the photo wall of the orphanage, there was actually a photo of Mu Li when she was a child.She hurriedly asked the dean, Sister Elizabeth, to confirm Mu Li's identity.Although the information Elizabeth told her did not match the family of Mu Xin, Jiang Siyan, and Jiang Muli back then, the timing was so consistent that Lanni firmly believed that the child in the photo was Muli.

Later, she found out from Sister Elizabeth that Mu Li had joined the army, and would regularly send a condolence email every year to inform her of the latest situation.

After 13 years, she finally found the Jiang Muli from back then.Lan Ni wanted to see her right away, but she was very smart and knew that Mu Li might be involved in some unknown plan or conspiracy, so her identity changed drastically and her entire life experience was replaced.And this matter may be inseparable from her father.

She is cautious, but her eagerness to meet Mu Li finally leads her to join an expedition team that is about to embark on a scientific expedition through the relationship at hand.The task of guarding the expedition team was undertaken by Mu Li's unit, and this was a reasonable opportunity for her to get close to her.

At that time, she also took the initiative to contact Mu Li as she did in August last year.Although Mu Li tried his best to restrain himself, Lan Ni could still see it, she still remembered herself, very clearly.But she couldn't show it, so she kept pretending that she didn't know herself.

Four years ago, she still remembered herself, but she pretended to have amnesia; but four years later, she really forgot herself, completely.

At that time, she made great contributions in the task of escorting the scientific expedition brigade, and was transferred to the general's mansion as a personal guard.During the first five days, she was indeed in the general's mansion, but she was ordered to guard the study. She was with her father, General Friesman, almost never leaving the study.Even food and drink are delivered by servants, and sleeping is also in the study.Although General Friesman came out once in a while, Mu Li never stepped out, all communication was cut off, and no one was allowed to approach the range of the study, including the eldest son Sona.

At that time, Lan Ni tried her best to get into the study, angered General Friesman, and even put her under house arrest in Yuchanyuan for three days.When Lan Ni came out again, Mu Li had already disappeared, and he didn't know where he went.According to the inside of the General's Mansion, Mu Li was dispatched on a secret mission and went to a distant place on a business trip.And the outsiders of the general's mansion don't even care about where Mu Li, who was just a small person at the time, went. The resume says "served as the personal guard of Gaia's general's mansion for four years", and everyone believes it.

Lan Ni searched hard for her for four years, during which time she tried every means to find out Mu Li's whereabouts from her father, but she still had no way of finding out.In the end, she worked hard to learn hacking skills by herself, and under the intentional or unintentional release of her brother Sona, she broke through the firewall of her father's personal computer, invaded it, and intercepted a short recording of the conversation.

"You have to be careful, don't go too far."

"Yes, General, I will pay attention to propriety."

There was only such a short piece of audio, but it was enough for her to confirm many guesses.Mu Li did participate in his father's secret plan, and it should be voluntary.

When I found her four years later, she couldn't remember anything.What exactly happened to her, although Lanny had some vague guesses, she was still not sure.

Walking out of the bathroom, Lan Ni sighed, and as soon as she looked up, she met Mo Kexin's eyes looking at her.Mo Kexin was sitting with the members of Assassin in the back cabin, and now she got up, she should simply come to use the toilet.She didn't expect to meet Lan Ni here, and she had a slightly embarrassed look on her face.

Lanny's eyes flickered for a moment, and she smiled as usual:

"Cousin, are you not used to flying?"

"Hmm... It's my first time to fly this kind of plane, although I heard that it would be uncomfortable, but I didn't expect the reaction to be quite big." Mo Kexin replied with a gentle smile.

"Oh, that's really pitiful. Cousin needs to take care of herself." Lan Ni said without pain, then waved her hand and said, "I'll go back first, and cousin should go back quickly. After a while, the plane may be less Bump."

She turned around and walked towards the cab, but she heard Mo Kexin suddenly say behind her:

"Mu Li, have you recovered your memory?"

Lan Ni looked at her sideways, her phoenix eyes were threatening and vigilant.

Mo Kexin stood there gracefully, like a young lady attending a party.But what she said was extremely offensive, making Lanny frown:

"You don't know whether it is because you are afraid that Mu Li's memory will recover, and I will pose a threat to your relationship with Mu Li."

"I'm afraid?" Lan Ni sneered, "Cousin, you think highly of yourself, even if Mu Li thinks about the past, there is no room for you to intervene."

"Really?" Mo Kexin's tone was still gentle, "I took you to the orphanage four years ago. If I hadn't been soft-hearted, you wouldn't have found her. I found her first, if it wasn't out of kindness , I won’t even tell you that she exists. I admit that you are stronger than me, and after that, I stepped ahead of me. When we are together, I withdraw, and I only hope that she can be happy. But since she has remembered the past, I will not let go easily. I think I am also qualified to fight for it. I also have a place in her heart. And You, cousin, there is still a huge hidden danger between you and her. The person who is your biological father is just an uncle to me. When you are with her, you can only bring her Pain, not happiness, so I won't allow it."

Lan Ni frowned, turned around, and faced Mo Kexin.She didn't expect that her cousin, who was always soft, would say such a thing.But isn't that what she is?Soft on the outside but strong on the inside, with a dark heart, she has a deceptive vixen appearance, and her words and deeds are not authentic.When she was young, she said quite excessive words to her, which hurt the relationship between the cousins. It is not surprising to say these words now.

"In that case, let your horse come here. I want to see how you can take her away from me." Lan Ni said coldly, turned and left, and returned to the cab.

Mo Kexin stayed where she was for a while, and turned back to the cabin without going to the bathroom.At this moment, the plane suddenly shook, then the nose was raised, and the fuselage tilted.Mo Kexin couldn't stand still for a while, screamed, lost her balance and fell backwards, passed through the curtain separating the cabin and the weapon control room, and fell into the cabin.

"Hey!"

In a panic, one hand precisely wrapped Mo Kexin's waist, hugged her tightly, and prevented her from falling.

Mo Kexin hurriedly stopped, grabbed the clothes of the person in front of him tightly, opened his eyes to look in his busy schedule, and found that it was the little girl who had rescued him in the elevator shaft.

"Go back and sit down, the plane is going to be bad!" Lin Zhao's tone and demeanor were quite serious.

While speaking, the plane stabilized a little.Lin Zhao quickly pulled her back to the seat, and the two of them fastened their seat belts and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened?" Mo Kexin asked.

"When I crossed the valley just now, the snow moth was startled, and now it is entangled." Lin Zhao explained.

Bailey, who was sitting on the other side of Mo Kexin, said in a low voice: "Our luck is too bad, we are really afraid of something."

Mo Kexin subconsciously turned her head and looked out from the small window of the cabin, and happened to see a huge patterned butterfly wing fluttering past, and the window was immediately covered with a cloud of dust.Her complexion turned pale instantly.
