under the mask

At this time, in front of them was an endless desert, and the moonless sky was covered with heavy snow, and there was a shallow layer on the ground, which already had some reflections, and the surrounding was quiet.

Li Wei took a deep breath of the cool air, and the ice crystals on the eyelashes quickly melted into water droplets and were shaken off again.

"Come up," Jacob opened the back cabin, hugged Li Wei and lifted him up without waiting for Li Wei to move, easily sent him in, and then jumped up with his hands, "Brother, it's done!"

Abel hummed, opened the driver's door and got in.

The propellers hung up the wind, and the speedboat quickly flew into the sky, heading towards the desert in the distance.Li Wei leaned on the back of the chair covered with a coat and looked out of the cabin window, his face was still a bit incredulous, they were still dancing in the bright auditorium hall a moment ago, why are they in the desert now?

"Except for the time when school started, this is the first time I've been out of the city..." He couldn't help sighing, "Sure enough, the game is still different from the reality."

Abe, who was driving the speedboat, smiled a little, but quickly frowned again.The experience he had with Li Wei in the game was very unforgettable for him, and it was because of that time that he was moved... But he couldn't forget what Li Wei suffered that time.If it wasn't a game, he and Jacob might not be able to get to Levi's side, so Levi might be dead.

Jacob also frowned in confusion, hugged Li Wei, and kissed his forehead vigorously.He was also uncomfortable, not only Abel's mood, but also his own. At that time, his own mood was only more complicated, but thinking about it, he was tempted. How could that bastard Abel survive?Sure enough, he was still too immature at the time, so he panicked... Then a chance to develop a relationship with my dear was given to the bastard Abel... It's really annoying.

Ah, I hate my brother the most! !

Li Wei grabbed Er Fei's little paw speechlessly, damn it, what's the matter with you groping Lao Tzu's ass with an angry face?Is someone holding a gun against you? !

The speedboat landed thousands of miles away from the city of the sky, in the hinterland of a large wave of sand dunes in the northwest of the giant scorpion station.The searchlights at the front of the speedboat were like two beams of light, illuminating the front as if it were daytime, and the falling snow was particularly gray and gray.

"Put on your clothes first." Abel drilled into the back cabin, took out a lot of things from the material box at the back with Jacob, and then threw a set of heavy camouflage on Levi.

Li Wei was a little confused, but he took off his coat and dress as he said, put on the inner black protective vest, then put on warm but light long sleeves, and finally put on a flame-resistant jacket. The waist is also lined with a protective layer to protect the joints. The thick-soled military boots have been set up to the calf, and the ankles are also properly protected.

"And this." Jacob unfolded the windbreaker in his hand and forced Li Wei to put it on. The big hood tightly protected his head: "It's still snowing outside, so let's use it as a raincoat."

Li Wei was tightly wrapped, staring blankly at the two brothers who were changing clothes in front of him, and then picked up the leather shoes that Abel had thrown aside, which was so heavy that people were surprised.He looked carefully under the light inside the boat, and heixian discovered that these were actually a pair of high-end leather shoes with inner heightening.

No wonder!When he just danced with Abel Jacob, he felt that something was wrong. Now that he thought about it, it was the height that was wrong!It turned out that he more or less had to lower his head slightly to meet their eyes. Today, when he was dancing, he even slightly raised his hands to put them on their shoulders!

Dumbfoundingly, he put down the shoes in his hand and stretched out his feet to kick the twins.

"?"

The two brothers, who had changed into camouflage uniforms, put their hands on their hips and looked at Li Wei with the same puzzled expression, their heads full of question marks.

"I said, what are we doing here?" Li Wei asked.

Abel glanced at the leather shoes he threw at his feet, and felt a little guilty: "You'll know in a while...Go down."

He turned around and yanked open the rear hatch, a gust of cold air rushed in like a knife, dry and cold.He and Jacob jumped down first, and were about to reach out to pick up Li Wei, but his wife jumped down neatly, and the windbreaker lightly landed beside them, raising her beautiful and delicate eyebrows at them.

"What's the matter? Don't argue with you verbally, do you really think I'm a little daughter-in-law?"

The two brothers rubbed their noses at the same time and gave him a flattering smile.

Li Wei rolled his eyes speechlessly, put his hands in the pockets of the windbreaker, and looked around with the speedboat's searchlight.After this scrutiny, his eyes could not help but become serious, and his complexion was not very good looking.

It was because he saw a lot of one-meter-high metal columns erected around the hinterland, which were constantly flashing red light at this moment.At any rate, he took classes in the military academy for a month, and he still recognized this thing as a sign of the cordon.He frowned and looked to the right, walked towards the pillar closest to him, bent down to check, and saw a row of extremely eye-catching warning words engraved on the metal pillar: Giant scorpions are infested, no entry!

giant scorpion! !

Li Wei's back felt cold, and it seemed that there was unbearable numbness from his arms to his waist.He quickly stood up straight and scanned back and forth, and found red warning lights flashing in an area of ​​several thousand square meters between the sand dunes, telling him clearly that this large desert was the territory of giant scorpions.

The cold wind blew over the sand dunes, and the whistling sound was like weeping, and then it was as loud as a whistle, but it was the whistle that thousands of people were blowing in their ears, which made people shudder and creepy.

"There is surveillance here!" He turned his head and yelled at Abel angrily, "These security posts will record video and send it to the intelligence brain center of the military headquarters. If someone is called out to check, let me see where you hide!"

Abel and Jacob looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.They were worried that Li Wei would have a shadow over the giant scorpion, but they didn't expect that Li Wei was worried about their safety first, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Jacob immediately stepped forward, hugged him and walked back, constantly comforting him: "Don't worry, don't you know that we often go out on missions, the security posts in this desert are all old models, don't look at them The lights are still flashing, but in fact, it takes about [-] minutes for it to really work..."

The corner of Li Wei's mouth twitched, and he let Abel hold his hands: "Do I have to praise you for being fussy?"

Abel immediately glared at his younger brother, and then grinned to the uncle: "Hey, it's our fault, don't be angry, my wife... I have to come here because I have something to do, I'm trying to squeeze the time, if I don't hurry, it will really be too late Already!"

Five minutes later, Li Wei leaned over to look at the instrument installed by the two brothers five meters away from the speedboat. This is a device similar to an underground surface detector. A palm-sized operating handle can be stretched half a meter high, and it is equipped with a 5-inch light screen.This thing is actually simple in structure, but the most useful thing is its shielding function. The unique military ultra-small shielding device can screen within a radius of ten meters, and has no special target. It was able to enter the market smoothly because the effect is too small.

He remembered that Degas once said that the army uses the same type of detectors, which are more sophisticated and have higher technological content, and are generally used in combat to detect the enemy's underground shipyards or arsenals.

"How much did this thing cost you?" Li Wei asked casually.

"Well, it's not too expensive..." Abel pressed the switch of the operating handle and said casually, "About [-] coins."

Li Wei narrowed his eyes.Twenty thousand coins is certainly not expensive for instruments like detectors, but it is not a small amount for students. The twins have worked so hard with the flame station for so long, and the total money they earn is less than fifteen thousand. It seems that the detector has been used for a long time. Maybe the reason why Abel and the others almost have no money to eat is because they spent their savings in the last few semesters to buy it... As for the reason for buying the detector, it cannot be To catch the giant scorpion.

"Brother, are you okay?" Jacob took out a lot of dark guys from the back cabin, and shouted impatiently at Abel: "Leo told me that there was movement in this area a few days ago Come on, why haven't you found it yet?"

Li Wei looked at the pile of weapons in Jacob's hands that should never have appeared in the hands of the students in silence, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.These two people!Wouldn't it be to capture the giant desert scorpion? !

What the hell kind of surprise is this?Do you want to give him two scorpion pincers as a gift? !

"Here we come!" Before he could speak, Abel suddenly yelled, pressed the shield button, then turned around and rushed to Jacob's side. The two quickly put armband Gatling guns on the next door, and each drew a big sword. Hold your breath and wait a few meters away from the shielding range.

"Stay there and don't move!" Jacob shouted at Li Wei without looking back.

Li Wei immediately rolled his eyes with pain in his liver, and lifted the hood angrily. The dry and cold desert wind in winter brought ice crystals and hit him on the face. He didn't care about the pain, and walked to the detector with heavy pulse I took a look in front of the light screen, and sure enough, it showed a green dot approaching the direction of the speedboat. This speed is below the ground, which is really fast.

He stretched out his hand to touch the green dot, and a very blurry green outline image was enlarged to one side, and it could be clearly seen that it was a scorpion. The data next to it showed that although this giant desert scorpion did not have the exaggerated and huge body in the game, even The head and tail are nearly three meters long and one meter high.

And the red dots representing the twins popped up on the edge of the masking range.

"The scorpion is 150 meters ahead of you, and it will be in front of you in ten seconds." Li Wei frowned and reminded them aloud.

After hearing this, Abel hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Jacob, and his figure rushed out against the wind and snow—at the moment when the wet sand in front suddenly arched, he held the sword in both hands and plunged down into the wet sand. On the sandy ground, a giant red scorpion burst out from the ground with a rattling sound. Abel's sword was piercing one of its eyes, causing it to frantically twist its poisonous scorpion tail in pain. The normal hornwhiskers attack Abel.

"Brother! Don't hurt the big guy's head!!" Yada yelled, rushed forward a hundred meters quickly, then turned over neatly and jumped onto the giant scorpion's back armor. The big sword buzzed in the dark night, and then swiped in the air Passing through the red sword light, he slashed down the tail of the giant scorpion. The one-meter-long scorpion tail immediately splashed a large amount of protein liquid and fell on the sand, still moving slightly!

The giant scorpion was in pain, and its whole body seemed to be burning brighter. The three pairs of side eyes and the pair of eyes in the center of the carapace stared at Abel with red eyes, and the scorpion pincers stabbed at him.Abel held the sword in one hand and sneered, allowing his left arm to be clamped fiercely. He tilted his head slightly, the veins on his forehead and neck protruded, and a layer of dark red scales emerged like water. Pressing the hideous sound of his muscles opening, he let out a wild roar, and the scorpion pincers clamping his arm exploded!The giant scorpion rolled and rolled on the wet desert, and the twins fell aside, panting slightly and smiling.

The corner of Li Wei's mouth twitched as he watched the hunting operation that ended in just 5 minutes.When he heard Jacob shout that sentence, he understood that the adult giant scorpion on the flame desert had a spar in its front abdomen. Although the fire energy contained in it was not much, it was very pure, especially because of its beauty. It is transparent and deeply loved by nobles. Since the giant desert scorpion is in a restricted area and extremely difficult to hunt, this kind of spar is extremely expensive and only circulates in the black market. The "supplier" is the resident soldiers on the auxiliary star them.

He glanced at the giant scorpion that was still moving. The entire head and abdomen were torn apart by Abel's great sword, and the clear fluid dripped all over the floor.This giant scorpion is estimated to be close to old age. Although it is red all over, it cannot breathe fire, and its attack power cannot be compared with the female scorpion he met in the game.

Jacob casually wiped the big sword on the light white snow on the ground, retracted the weapon, and stepped forward to drag the red scorpion tail to the airship.Abel lifted his feet and walked back, with a smug smile on his face after a rewarding hunt.He didn't plan to dig out the spar directly. My wife is picky about this. She already hates scorpions. If she gets sick again, their plan will probably fail in the beating...

He picked out a flamethrower from a pile of weapons and put it on his shoulder, and with a bang in the direction of the giant scorpion, he controlled the flamethrower to shoot out a pillar of fire, and his hair was blown up in the scorching wind.In just one minute, the giant desert scorpion that hadn't completely died was reduced to ashes. In the dark night, only a fist-sized, diamond-like stone rolled to the ground, emitting a bright light.

Li Wei watched Abel walk over and bent down to pick up the huge spar.

"Is this a return gift for me?" He couldn't help asking.

"Not really," Abel handed him the spar, and wiped the melted snow on his face: "Leo accidentally got one near here a few days ago, and the polished product is pretty good..."

Li Wei raised his eyebrows: "So?"

Jacob hugged him and said dissatisfied: "Ring, my dear... Leo sent the spar to Wolf to polish it into two rings!!"

Li Wei glanced at Abel blankly, and the other party immediately looked at him aggrieved.What does this mean?Could it be that he got this stone just to make himself a ring for them to wear?

"Engagement, idiot!!" Abel finally became angry, and his temper that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out: "Leo is engaged to Hill!!"

He is really wronged. Why is this guy Li Wei like this? He and Jacob are so fresh and tender, and they are all sent to the door. Shouldn't they be put in prison sooner? !That bastard Thomas is indeed a liar. It's been so long that Levi didn't even say anything, and he knew to make holes in them!

Finally exposed the true face of Fat Dragon!

Li Wei was helpless: "Can't you just say it straight, you have to drag people to this kind of place in the middle of the night..."

"It's only meaningful if you do it yourself!" Jacob looked at him aggrievedly: "We got all the crystals, wife, didn't you say anything?"

what can i say...

Li Wei sighed wildly from the bottom of his heart, pondered for a moment, knelt down on one knee, and took the hands of Abel and Jacob.He pondered for a few seconds, then solemnly raised his head to meet the hot eyes of the twins: "Dear Mr. Sterling...will you marry me?"

The background music is neither soft nor elegant, but the rustling sound of ice crystals falling to the ground. The ground is not covered with rose petals, but wet sand mixed with snow and water. There are only searchlights around... They are wearing heavy clothes The gray military overcoat, the wet hair sticking to the face, and a pile of ashes and potholes in the distance... This is really the most absurd marriage proposal ceremony in the world.

Abel and Jacob hugged Li Wei at the same time, pulling him up and pulling him into their arms.

Li Wei was tightly sandwiched between the two of them, barely feeling the cold weather, he hugged the twins with his hands open, and held the pure crystal in one hand.This is the most memorable day in his life, as if a small flame ignited in the bottom of his heart, burning his limbs warmly.He suddenly understood why those colleagues in the past were desperately taking on private jobs after work. They worked so hard to earn money that they got sick all over themselves. Relatives and family members are different. Instead, the burden on the body becomes infinite power, like a super-grade energy furnace, running day and night.

"We will always be together." Abel whispered, leaning his head and kissing Li Wei's face.

He met Jacob's dark red pupils, which were exactly the same as his own, and reached a tacit understanding with each other.

This guy in their arms, all of them, the one, only, lifelong companion of Abel Sterling and Jacob Sterling.

I swear by the blood of the mutated red pterosaur,

They will protect Levi with their lives,

Share longevity,

Be steadfast and loyal.

This life will never change.

Both pupils glowed red at the same time, and then quietly returned to their original state.
