Byron's Blade

Above the towering Himalayas, a blazing fire burst out, burning a long red dragon in the sky, reflecting the pale earth in the early morning.In that blazing flame, a meteor flew out, like a fire dragon spitting beads.The fire dragon spit out the orb, as if it had lost its vitality, and fell headlong to the mountain below.Not long after, there was a loud noise, and the mountain below shook violently. At the same time, a huge avalanche was triggered. A large amount of white snow rolled down.

The orb that was spewed out—the escape cabin flew eastward for another thousand meters, and finally lost its propulsion and began to descend.When the escaping people felt the descent, parachutes popped up on the escape module, and they were blown away again in the strong wind.

The time was less than four o'clock in the morning, thousands of kilometers away from the main city of the Federation. They landed at the southeastern foothills of the Himalayas. This is probably the former Tibetan area. Under the vast scene, you can still see the ruins of some Tibetan buildings. exist.

The parachute outside the cabin was shaking constantly with the wind. It had been half an hour since we left the cabin and landed here, but it still hadn't opened.Everyone in the cabin was sitting stiffly in place, with no strength or motivation to get up.I just feel that the cruelty of the world has reached such a point, grabbing and draining the last trace of precious spring in everyone's heart.

Lan Ni nestled in her position, and Qiu Zheng was around her.And on her body and Qiu Zheng's body lay Mu Li.Mu Li was overstimulated, couldn't bear it, and passed out.Lan Ni's tears trickled down, passed over her dirty face, and dripped down her chin onto Mu Li's face.She sobbed softly, looked at the doll that Mu Xin had stuffed into her hand before she left with teary eyes, and couldn't help herself.This rag doll looked ugly, half of it was burnt, and it was extremely old.Every stitch is clumsy, and the expression on the doll's face seems to be smiling wryly.She knew the origin of this doll, Mu Xin had told her about it.

She told the story of how a mother put her beloved daughter in trouble and had to fake death to leave.

But now, has she fulfilled herself and fulfilled her wish?Will she finally stop regretting, feeling guilty and remorseful?Is it finally possible to relax a little bit?

"Lanny...don't cry...tell us what's going on." Qiu Zheng wiped away the cold tears on her face. She didn't remember how long she had cried so sadly.Her beloved teacher died, but she could do nothing while she watched helplessly.

But her pain was far less than that of Mu Li. She heard Mu Li crying "Mom" heart-piercingly, like an abandoned child, and all of them heard it.Now, they finally know what the relationship between Mu Xin and Mu Li is.Mu Li's pain was truly heart-wrenching and infected everyone present.Everyone's emotions collapsed, and everyone's face was wet with tears, so that Lin Zhao, who suffers from emotional isolation, had already wet his cuffs with tears, and he still couldn't stop sobbing.

Lanny tried hard to control her emotions and wanted to speak, but she couldn't continue.After a long time, she calmed down a little bit, and told everyone the story of the mother and daughter bit by bit, intermittently.Then a second round of emotional breakdown was set off again, and Lanny herself was choked up several times, unable to speak.

Alita spoke with red eyes, but her mood was still calm, after all, she was much more sophisticated.She looks much better, because of a deep treatment in the treatment cabin, although the back injury is still not completely healed, walking is no longer a problem.It's just that her back can no longer be as straight as before. This is a permanent injury that cannot be healed.

"What the teacher has done these years is almost paving the way for Mu Li. She has lived in guilt for many years, and she tortured herself. No matter what I say or do, I can't persuade her to take a break. Every day from morning It is really hard for her to stay busy late and sleep for less than four hours. But she enjoys it herself. Only by doing all these can she have the motivation to live.

Back then, the teacher chose to let Mu Li join the project. Although she never admitted it, I knew she was coerced.Lanny, I hope I won't make you sad when I say this.At that time, the cooperation between the teacher and General Friesman was entirely out of her own ambition, and she never thought of involving her family in it.That year, Mu Li went to Gaia General's Mansion as a guest because the teacher received an invitation from General Friesman, saying that he wanted to invite their family to Gaia to celebrate the New Year and connect with each other.The teacher readily agreed and took his family there without any scruples.

But after the accident in the well happened, Mu Li was seriously injured and received treatment, and accidentally discovered her unusual spiritual strength.She is a once-in-a-lifetime genius, someone who absolutely cannot be obtained by Rudolph.General Friesman must let Mu Li join his plan.But he also knew that a teacher who loved his daughter eagerly would not agree.You also know how General Friesman handles things. He will never give up until he achieves his goal, even if everyone betrays his relatives.His threat to the teacher can be imagined. The teacher not only has to take care of his family of three, but also the entire Jiang family.The federation is only so big, they can't escape, and they can't escape.Even if they escape, the Jiang family cannot escape.She had to push her daughter out.But she made an additional condition that she must agree, that is, she herself must become part of this dangerous plan.She had to be by her daughter's side and protect her personally. "

Having said that, she sighed deeply.Lan Ni felt extremely uncomfortable, bent down, embraced Mu Li who was lying on her lap, and sobbed softly:

"Sorry……"

"Lanny, it's not your fault at all. In fact, who is at fault? Everyone does things according to their own will, not intentionally to hurt anyone, but things have come to this point in the end. It can only be said that it is good luck. People." Alita said.

After another half hour, everyone calmed down a little.Alita said:

"We can't stay here anymore. There are supplies at the back of this cabin. Let's take out the things and check them together to see what can be used. There must be a long distance from where we are now to the Federation. We can’t walk back with our own legs, we have to find a way to get someone to pick us up.”

After all, Alita is an elder, she has seen a lot of things, and she is more calm and reliable.She seemed to be the backbone of everyone at this moment, and it was precisely because she was still so calm that everyone could temporarily put away their grief and take action.In any case, Mu Xin sacrificed for them, for the general trend of the revolution, and they could not live up to such a burning expectation.

So Liu Lanni was still watching Mu Li in the cabin, and the rest of the people all left the cabin and went around to check the supplies behind the cabin.First aid medicine is the first thing needed, and almost everyone among them is injured and needs treatment.Immediately after that, food and water are also the most urgently needed things. Fortunately, they are abundant. Seeing these, Alita was relieved.In addition, there are two big tents, four sleeping bags, a lot of blankets and cushions in the cabin.There are also two hovercraft, each expanded to accommodate ten people.

Surprisingly, they found the signal transmitter from the escape cabin. This thing is simply a life-saving artifact. Whether they can return to the Federation depends entirely on this treasure.

Alita ordered that everyone set up tents on the spot, bandage the wounds, light a fire and cook to replenish their physical strength, and seize the time to recharge their batteries.During this period, the signal transmitters were constantly used to call the friendly forces in the Federation, asking them to send people to the rescue.

They inflated the hovercraft, turned it over and fixed it on the snow as a base, and then built two large tents on top of it.Evenly distribute sleeping bags and blankets to ensure the warmth of the seriously injured first.Even the seats in the escape cabin were removed and used.

There were only 200 people left in the mighty 13-member team at the time of the expedition.Among them, Mu Li fainted from grief, Zoe fell into a coma due to a puncture in her abdomen, Dora and Latia were traumatized and unconscious, and Lan Ni, Qiu Zheng, Lin Zhao, and Jill all suffered trauma to varying degrees.Alita and Mo Kexin have just left the critical condition and are still weak.He Yingning, Joan and Dr. Bailey were relatively better, but they were all exhausted.

Just inside the escape cabin, there were still the bodies of Sona and Chris.

In this struggle, they paid an extremely painful price, and finally won a phased victory.Although Rudolph was wiped out, the power he left behind is still huge, Conrad is still alive, and the church has not been eliminated.But in any case, without this huge trouble, the next thing will be much smoother.

After placing the seriously injured, Alita immediately began to treat them, with Lin Zhao assisting.Lan Ni, He Yingning and Mo Kexin started to prepare food, set up an energy stove to boil snow water, put it in cans and stew with the staple food.This is a plateau, and the water can't be boiled, but everyone can't take care of so much. It is already a very happy thing to have a mouthful of hot food.

Qiu Zheng, Jill, Joan, and Dr. Bailey are tinkering with the signal transmitter and trying to contact friendly forces.It's not too far away from the Federation. At any rate, it has crossed the Himalayas. Without the partition of this natural moat, the transmission of signals is much smoother.It didn't take long for them to contact General Luo Jia. Although the signal was unstable, it was enough for General Luo Jia to grasp their situation and immediately send someone to rescue them.

Zoe's condition has stabilized. Although she lost a lot of blood, her body is not generally tough, she can still hold on, and her life is no longer in danger.Mu Li is still unconscious, and he doesn't know when he will wake up.The situation of Dora and Latia is a bit troublesome. Alita is not very clear about how to treat mental trauma, so she can only let them rest.Several people who were still awake gathered around the energy stove, holding bowls and eating hot food.Although the taste is really not delicious, but after the catastrophe, the hot food is so precious. When I eat and eat, I think of Mu Xin and those lost partners, but tears will fall again. down.

Everyone is silent, tired, hurt, and sad, torturing everyone's body and mind.After eating, I simply cleaned up, Qiu Zhengjill and Lin Zhao went to watch, Lan Ni, He Yingning and Mo Kexin went back to the tent to take care of the wounded.Joan and Dr. Bailey continued to watch the radio, waiting for friendly contact.

The surroundings were extremely quiet and extremely cold. Qiu Zheng, Lin Zhao, and Jill stood facing the east, watching the sky brighten up bit by bit, and the dawn came, tearing apart the long-lasting darkness that had enveloped the world.

In that light of dawn, they saw a military plane coming towards them from the east.When they got closer, they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the military emblem of the Southeast Army on the fuselage.Joan and Bailey came outside the tent holding the radio, and they heard the call of the friendly army.

An old era is over, and a new era is about to begin. They will surely turn into the light in the sky, like silver-white sharp blades, tearing apart the darkness covering the earth.
