[FF7][SC] Star Flower

It's Claude.He gripped Zack's hand so hard that Zack couldn't break free.But when Zack turned his head, the boy lowered his head, not intending to explain anything. "Too much time has been wasted. Let's get started."

The command of this operation fell on Zeng. After all, neither of the two forces would obey the other.

The original plan was to use hypnotic gas or poisonous fog, but after studying the blueprints, it was discovered that the latest phase of the project had actually installed smoke alarms.But in the final analysis, dealing with bugs is not necessarily a particularly risky thing, after all, there is a first-class soldier and a third-class soldier present.For safety reasons, Genesis was the first to enter the facility holding a sword, followed by Wade. In the end, the weak Felicia should have stayed outside and waited, but she was unwilling.Maybe it was just to see Wade's troubled and helpless expression.

Even Genesis, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help wrinkling his nose when he saw the scene inside the furnace, and took a step back in disgust. Goosebumps crawled up the back of his neck, and his physiological trembling gradually calmed down under restraint.

Translucent giant insect eggs adhered to the walls and corridors, one after another, densely dotted.The body of the larva trembled from time to time, and its huge unformed eyeballs turned slightly, staring at the intruder.Genesis pierced one tentatively, and the liquid splashed on the boot with a bang, and the worm that slipped out squirmed and bounced violently towards him.After splitting the worm body casually, the green slurry still splashed on the coat.Genesis' expression twisted for a while, and he quickly walked deeper, leaving the task of cleaning up the eggs to his companions behind.

The whole process went extremely smoothly.Although there are mutated adults waiting around the eggs, they are really not worth mentioning to special forces, and the threat level may not even be comparable to that of the BizzarBug.At least for Genesis, the most unbearable thing is the visual impact when he first enters the arena.

"There's something wrong." Wade stopped and looked at the way he came.They had already entered the depths, approaching those billowing Moko who were almost hot.The further you go, the bigger the eggs become, but the number of guards gradually decreases. "These eggs are already larger than adults. Those just now were just engineers, and there should be queens inside. But how did insects of this size get in?"

"No matter what, let's hurry up." Genesis just wanted to leave quickly, "If it's just a change in body shape, it's nothing to be concerned about."

This naive idea was quickly slapped in the face.When they found the queen—the transparent, swollen, greasy worm swimming in the magma-hot mako—Genesis and Wade stood on the edge of the platform and could clearly see the worm buried in it. The magic stone in the body can't do anything about it.They couldn't stay here for long, it was too hot, the light was too dazzling, and the Moko steam was extremely poisonous.For a while, there was no backup plan except to shut down the equipment and wait for it to cool down.

No, actually there are.

Genesis swung his sword anxiously, shaking off all the mucus on it, and looked back from time to time.He hoped that the follow-up troops would not arrive so soon, because he didn't want to watch Claude just jump down and fight that thing, which was not what he should do.The operation should have been declared a failure at this point, and then they turned around and thought about the long term.

"Let's catch it." Wade said calmly, staring down.

"what?"

"It's like fishing, catch it." He must be crazy, because when he said this, his eyes were burning, like an eagle, locked on the prey, and he showed a crazy smile like a demon, "I'll be the bait, use 『 Wall' to take less damage. When it bites me, your strength should be able to pull us up."

"You're crazy." Genesis shook his head, "The 'Wall' can buffer physical and magical attacks, but it can't insulate from high temperatures, and before it's hooked, you'll turn into charcoal. This isn't a plan, it's just murder. "

"There is also 'freezing'. What's more, there is no gain without sacrifice, isn't it?"

To be honest, Genesis didn't care about the old guy's life or death, and Wade's hands were not clean at all, which he deserved.But Genesis didn't want this person to die in front of him.Wade is a man to be admired, and while his powers are misused, his qualities—resoluteness, tenacity, forbearance—are still admirable.Even for that reason alone, Genesis was unwilling to cooperate with such a whimsical move.

"You're just crazy. Calm down, there's a better way."

"There is no other way." Wade said firmly.He began to take off his jacket and his gun belt, one by one in an orderly manner.The belt contained specialized fibers, and he simply tied two slipknots from the armpit to the shoulder, and handed the other end to Genesis. "Take it."

Genesis was indifferent, "The thread is so thin, if I pulled it a little faster, both of your arms would fall off."

"That depends on your skills." Wade pretended to be relaxed, and then jumped down without hesitation.

Genesis hasn't even caught the line yet!

He rushed over, and the rapidly rubbing fibers quickly burned through the glove, causing a sharp pain in his palm, and blood spattered everywhere.The damn old thing!Genesis slammed the long sword into the floor, and the fiber wrapped around the hilt several times to fix it, then slowly slid to the edge of the platform and looked down slowly.

It was hazy with fog.Ice magic can certainly alleviate the damage of high temperature, but at this extreme temperature, a huge amount of water vapor suddenly gushes out, covering everything.Wade obviously realized this too. After a while, the fog gradually cleared, and the little man who was already completely red wobbled at the other end of the line, making a downward gesture.He couldn't speak, and the heat would burn his airway.

Genesis remained silent, the hand holding the thread trembling.He should have pulled back.But that kind of look...that is the look of a father...why do some parents treat their children as props and abandon them like shoes, while others sacrifice to such an extent?

He gradually let go of his hand, controlling him to approach the queen.

He wondered how far he could go.

Wade rarely puts himself in danger.He can always foresee their coming and make the most suitable choice.But not this time.For three years, he watched his Felicia gradually improve, and then weaken again irreversibly like a withered flower.Wade was more afraid of losing her than of the danger itself; and when a fighter is afraid, he is no longer invincible.

Under the high temperature, the epidermis began to wrinkle and crack, and curled up and shrank together, exposing the pinkish white dermis underneath.But soon the pink was replaced by blood red, the blisters were burning and getting bigger, the blood vessels burst one after another, leaving scorched black marks after drying.He tried his best to hold his breath, so that the most fragile lungs could last a little longer, a little longer. The magic stones of "Recovery" and "Wall" glowed with green light at the same time, but against the bright light at the foot, it was so weak that it was almost non-existent.

The queen flicked her tail leisurely, pouring the boiling magic on the wall, making a scorching sound.

Wade squinted his eyes, and could hardly see where the other party was. The destruction of the temperature also acted on the eyeballs and brain.He felt extremely thirsty and had lost too much fluid in a moment, which was a dangerous sign.

Fortunately, even mutated creatures still maintain their biological instincts.The smell of blood and flesh stimulated the queen, she circled around Wade's feet a few times, and finally jumped up uncontrollably, her round mouth opened wide, and layers of fangs densely surrounded the ball, Bite down hard!

The sound of the wall breaking was heard at the same time, and the three-story wall was like a thin piece of paper in front of her, crumbling into powder without any room.Seeing the situation, Genesis quickly pulled back upwards, the serrations closed spirally like a meat grinder, and sank deeply below the thigh.Wade's eyes went dark, he lost consciousness briefly, and was immediately awakened by the severe pain all over his body.Rising extremely fast, his muscles are tearing, his bones are whining, his regeneration has long been unable to keep up with the speed of damage, and his whole body is dismembered in the frantic confrontation of strength.

Until a certain moment, his right leg, crushed by countless dense teeth, lightened and he lost consciousness.

"I hate you. 』

"I can not be reconciled. 』

"I endured so hard—"

"Dear Papa. 』

With his right hand tightly grasping the broken leg, he pulled the worm queen, who was dozens of times his own weight, with unimaginable strength. It took only a moment, and the right arm was torn off after a moment.But this moment was enough, and the final inertia brought them to slam into the platform.There, Genesis had pulled out the sword, adjusted the angle, and plunged into the metal floor again. The magic of the flame was compressed to the extreme, and the blade of the sword bloomed with a dazzling light that was even more dazzling than the magic.

Wade fell heavily behind Genesis and rolled out. The next second, the worm queen hit the blade and was torn into two halves with a howl. The hot viscera and meat slurry sprayed out perfect symmetry on the wall. butterfly wings.Finally, the squirming piece of flesh twitched and collapsed exuding heat.

The barrier blocked the pattering rain of blood.Genesis knelt there half-kneeling, and let go of his hand. Under the extreme high temperature, the blade had already melted and deformed, blending into one with the ground.He staggered toward Wade.Arms and thighs may not be saved even if the bleeding is stopped, let alone burns.But when he saw the man's miserable condition, he still took a deep breath.

The wound does not require hemostasis.Because the fracture has been charred.One eye was sunken and watery, and it was not known whether the eyeball was still there.

"You smell ripe."

"It's a pity that I can't smell it." Wade smiled, his voice hoarse like a broken bellows, "I'm old, and it's really hard to do this kind of job for young people."

"You're always going strong," Genesis replied bitterly.

It all happened in a matter of minutes, and when the others arrived, they couldn't even comprehend how it had gotten so messy.Felicia was originally at the end, but when they saw the situation clearly, they couldn't help but make way for her.She walked slowly towards Wade, and Wade opened his remaining eye, looking tenderly at his child.

The smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

You still...can't...forgive me...

Felicia ruthlessly pierced Wade's chest, and the hand that was drawn out was stained with blood, and she shook it casually.

Leaning against the corner of the wall, Wade slowly released his left hand, and a small, green fragment lay in his palm.He held it as if holding the whole world.

And now, the world is falling.
