into the sheath

When Jiang Feng picked up the communication for the first time, it didn't take long for the other party to hang up. The speed was so fast that he didn't even hear what happened on the other end.

There was only a noise, as if something had been thrown out, and then smashed to pieces on the ground.

Jiang Feng's face darkened.

Jiang Feng had no intention of guessing whether the movement was caused by a fight, or whether the person accidentally knocked over something - after all, it would not be a naive and boring joke - no matter which one, the reason behind it all Not to be taken lightly.

But just when Jiang Feng was about to call back, the communication came in again.

Jiang Feng looked at the name on the caller ID, and pressed the answer button almost without any pause.

In the first few minutes, there was still no one on the other end of the communication, only rustling sounds intermittently, very light, like the movement of clothes rubbing against each other, or the sound of the person leaning over the microphone carefully. breathe.

After a while, even this small sound disappeared.

Jiang Feng couldn't help frowning, "Tang Heng?"

No one responded.

After a pause, Jiang Feng stood up straight.He supported the table with one hand, and looked away from the projection screen to the iron gray emblem on the wall that marked the tower.

But that's not where the line of sight falls.

The next moment, a light and shadow floated in Jiang Feng's eyes, and then instantly melted into a bottomless deep pool. At the same time, the tentacles of the spirit also extended to all directions, like bunches of strong and powerful The whip was waving in a mighty manner, but it was only to confirm the status of the sentinel at the other end of the link...

Five seconds later, everything suddenly returned to normal.

Due to taking "Cardine" for a long time, the existence of Tang Heng in the connection has been erratic from time to time, what Jiang Feng feels at this time is almost the same as the state of the person confirmed before, or even during the daytime .

But Jiang Feng's expression didn't soften a bit.

There is no difference, but it does not mean that the situation of the sentinel is safe.

Jiang Feng looked back at the screen and unconsciously tensed up.He waited quietly for another half a minute, and then, in the silence where no one spoke, he called out again: "Tang Heng, what happened..."

"I'm here."

The words were suddenly interrupted.

The words that Jiang Feng was about to say just stopped on his lips.

Tang Heng didn't expect that he and Jiang Feng would speak at the same time, so he couldn't help but stop talking, and after an abrupt pause, he said, "What do you think will happen?"

The voice was as cold and hard as a piece of steel thrown on the ice.

Hearing this, Jiang Feng was startled, and without waiting for him to answer, Tang Heng laughed and continued, "Something fell on the ground just now, and when I was picking it up, I accidentally hung up the communication .It's nothing, I just miss you suddenly, let's see what you are doing. Didn't bother you?"

When he said this, the sentry's tone was brisk, as if the cold tone just now was just an illusion of Jiang Feng.

It's just that the voice is so hoarse that it's impossible not to care about it.

"Don't disturb." Jiang Feng said.Although his face was still as deep as water, his tone of voice eased a lot.

The loud noise just now was definitely not caused by a small object falling to the ground - if it had to be said that way, it was more like the sound of the whole cabinet containing the things being pushed down to the ground.

But Jiang Feng never mentioned this doubt, and only asked: "It's so late, why haven't you rested yet?"

Tang Heng paused, "Oh. I was woken up by the sound of rain."

"Rain?"

"...Well, it's raining, and it's quite heavy."

Responding to these words, Jiang Feng pressed the button of the central control system and opened the window on one side.

The location of his office is very high. Looking from here, he can easily see almost the whole city. At this time, it is covered in mist and becomes blurred. The neon lights in the distance have been turned off quite a bit. Without the cloak of feasting and feasting, it easily blends into the gloomy tower area.

The sound insulation system was also turned off, and the sound of raindrops breaking into the room unscrupulously, like peas thrown at the window, crackling one pot after another.

Jiang Feng covered the receiver with his hands, and after a while, he turned on the sound insulation again.

In this way, this rainstorm left only water marks on the glass that meandered and renewed.

Jiang Feng replied: "It's really not small."

As he spoke, Jiang Feng pressed his finger on the window, and a slight vibration came through the thick glass.

He looked back at the desk again.

The screen was automatically locked due to no one operating it for a long time, and before that, Jiang Feng just received a briefing from the target city - the heavy rain on a large scale reduced the burden of defense, so in this downpour, the soldiers They got a temporary respite.

According to the weather forecast, this period of rain, which lasted for several days, will be completely over before sunrise tomorrow.

After a brief pause, Jiang Feng asked again: "Where is the cub? It shouldn't like rainy days either?"

Tang Heng was sitting leaning against the head of the bed at this moment.

There is a pillow behind him, but for the overly sensitive touch at this time, the feeling of being pressed against the back by the alloy material is still tantamount to cutting flesh with a blunt knife-to be precise, no movement can make him completely relax.

But it's the only gesture that doesn't make his voice sound too weird.

When holding the terminal in his hand just now, Tang Heng just fell into that chaotic state again, but the duration was very short, and when the vision returned again, the communication had already been picked up.

The bedside table next to him was tipped askew, and the sundries inside were scattered all over the floor.The noise Jiang Feng heard at that time came from this.

Tang Heng could feel his back getting hot, and he didn't need to think about it to know that it was bruised. In order to relieve the pain, he took off all the clothes on his body, but the bed sheet was pressed against his skin, and the pain was still there—only temporarily. I can bear it.

But he didn't know how long this could last for the time being.

Maybe he can say a few more words to Jiang Feng, or maybe he won't be able to hear anything in the next second.

Who knows?

"Boy." Tang Heng moved his body and changed his focus, trying to relieve the pressure on his back. "It really likes rainy days. It may be because it rarely rains in my mental image. It sees rain When it rains, I want to rush out, if it is not Quantum Beast, when I come back, I will definitely..."

Having said that, Tang Heng suddenly realized his slip of the tongue.

The energy of the Quantum Beast often represents the state of mind of its owner.The cub can jump up and down in the heavy rain, so he shouldn't be affected too much.

Not to mention that Jiang Feng had been to his house before. How could he fail to consider the problem of sound insulation in a commercial residence adjacent to the busy city and with Sentinel as the target customer?

The brisk conversation atmosphere before was nothing but a scale beam with a heavy object hanging on it, but at this moment, Tang Heng suddenly realized that what supported the scale beam was nothing but a fragile sharp needle, and the balance was precariously maintained.

So, in Jiang Feng's silence, Tang Heng could only emphasize repeatedly: "It's raining too much, well, I forgot to close the window before going to bed." He joked dryly, "Don't you Knowing how messy my living room was blown by the wind, like a thief followed, at first I thought it was the cub making a fuss again, but later I found out that the windows were not closed, and water had entered the room..."

Tang Heng's speech speed became faster and faster, and in the middle of the speech, it stopped abruptly.Perhaps it was due to the lack of water in the body caused by sweating too much, Tang Heng suddenly felt that his throat was extremely dry.

As if something blocked the throat, I couldn't squeeze out a word.

After a while, Tang Heng felt better.He ignored his tense body that started to tremble slightly, but changed the subject again and asked, "What about you, what are you doing? Are you still working?"

As he said that, he squeezed the terminal in his hand tightly, staring at the default interface in the communication on the projection screen, as if he wanted to stare at it like a hole.

He heard Jiang Feng respond: "Well, there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with recently."

Tang Heng closed his eyes, and after a while, he followed Jiang Feng's words and asked, "When do you plan to get it?"

"It will take a while."

"That's really busy." Tang Heng said, "Working like you is considered overtime. Will there be a subsidy?"

……

Perhaps it was the gentle topic that distracted his energy. This time, Tang Heng's sanity was much longer than before, so that when he waited for a long time without responding, he suddenly realized that he had once again lost his sense of the outside world. perception.

Tang Heng pursed his lips, and could only hold the terminal tightly by feeling.

In fact, he couldn't even feel whether the terminal was still in his hands.

After being in a daze for a long time, Tang Heng breathed a sigh of relief, raised his voice again, and said with a smile, "...that's it." He swallowed, "By the way, the current Chief Sentinel How are you? You never seem to mention it to me."

In the vastness, there is no color, no pain, no taste, and naturally no response can be heard.

But Tang Heng listened attentively.He listened to his own heartbeat, as if he could really hear what Jiang Feng said.

Heartbeat rang 45 times.

After 45 strokes, he said again: "Will the life in the military be very hard?"

one two Three……

"Is the food in the canteen really bad?"

... 24, 25, 26 ...

"What was it like when you first went to Target City?"

...69, seventy...

"Oval cabin, which one did you design?"

……

Without the concept of time, and without knowing the content of Jiang Feng's reply, Tang Heng slowly extended the interval.

He couldn't hear his hoarse voice, he couldn't hear the loud and small volume, he could only pretend to ask questions without knowing it, and then thought to himself: Jiang Feng didn't notice it?

He shouldn't be able to find out, right?

Until Tang Heng racked his brains to throw out the last topic he could think of, there was still no response from the other side.

As if he could never wait.

Five seconds later, Tang Heng suddenly made a throwing motion.He threw the terminal in his hand, and simulated the movement in his mind again, and couldn't help laughing.

The terminal hit the ground and was shattered under the tremendous momentum, but disappeared from the sentinel's perception.

Immediately afterwards, the pain suddenly struck again.

"Uh--!"

Tang Heng tensed his body suddenly.He gritted his teeth, swallowed the scream of pain, and then cursed with the previous laugh, but the last trace of the smile in his eyes also faded at this moment.

After a while, when his body finally got used to the pain again, Tang Heng was already drenched in cold sweat again.

Let's stop there.

"Jiang Feng!" He put an arm across his face, covering his eyes, and shouted viciously without daring to ignore it: "You fucking, get out of here!"

As if his breath was completely exhausted, his voice suddenly lowered and turned into a whimper-like murmur.

"I want to see you..."

And then, a rush of footsteps became the first sound of this world that Tang Heng heard.

He fell into a wet embrace.

Tang Heng's body stiffened for a moment.

The pain disappeared again.The familiar smell of guide pheromones filled the heart, eyes were covered with a hand, and the five senses suddenly became dull, but it was not like every time before.

The airtight and tight bag became a forest cabin with a bonfire.

In a trance, Tang Heng felt like a winter traveler who was about to freeze, walking alone for a long time, and was finally invited to live in, wrapped in a blanket with incense.In the silence, someone handed a cup of hot tea.The tea liquid scorched the walls of the cup very hot.

He should have just thrown the cup away, but for some reason, he just held it tightly, even though the tea bowl made his fingertips hurt from the heat, and even his eye sockets swelled.

"I'm here." The man whispered in his ear, "Sorry, I'm late."
