Hidden Corner

 Chapter 249 249 Ambush 1

 In the command hall.

Li Chengyi looked at the people in the blind spot who were constantly fighting outside. The golden ring of fire around him slowly faded. That was the vision when I used the Blade of Destiny just now.

Skittle Candy is obviously much more adaptable than before. Wearing the flower fantasy clothes, her speed and strength have been greatly increased. She can jump over the sand with extremely agile movements.

With the high-frequency vibrating knife prepared by Sea Wolf in advance, it only takes about ten seconds to kill a giant lizard in close combat.

 But there are too many monitor lizards.

 Their three teams totaled nearly twenty people. Facing two to three hundred monitor lizards, it was basically a situation of being besieged.

 ‘These monitor lizards cannot be formed naturally. Such strength of flesh and blood is obviously artificially modified’

Li Chengyi recalled the information Su Tan had read.

Sutan is in chaos, the government is incompetent, and the warlords are divided, so human lives are at a loss, so it is very suitable for some biochemical experiments to be stationed.

 Among them, biotechnology is led by Noel Group, which is second to none in the entire Sudan.

Li Chengyi just sat quietly in the command hall, assisting everyone in killing the giant lizard by controlling the fire control system of the ship's hull.

 Occasionally, at a critical moment, he will use flower language to hide within the range and save the person in the corner under control.

 More than ten minutes later.

 The last monitor lizard was severely stabbed through the head and fell to the ground.

 Alyssa panted heavily and spread out the blue exoskeleton armor, revealing the face inside.

Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and even the heat-dissipating and sweat-absorbing function of the exoskeleton had no time to eliminate it.

 Three teams together, four people died.

 They are all members of the Seawolf team.

As the top elites sent this time, they didn't expect that they would encounter such a big danger right from the beginning.

 The equipment they thought was powerful was torn apart in a few blows in front of these giant lizards.

 “Just bury the person on the spot.” Alyssa seemed to be a different person at this time.

“Perhaps it is a kind of happiness for people in a dead end to die in reality.” She walked to a scratched corpse and took a marker from the corpse to keep her identity.

"Boss, it seems that this trip is really different from what I thought before." Wang walked to her side.

 “Yes.” Alyssa’s eyes were calm, as if there was a fire brewing in the depths.

 “If I die, you will be the next boss. Remember?”

 “What if I die?” Wang asked.

"That's your business. I'm not your mother." Alyssa said impatiently.

  Turning around, she reboarded the troopship.

The rest of the Sea Wolf people were just a little sad, and then quickly returned to normal. They should eat and drink, as if the person who had just died was not theirs.

Skittle Candy, who got on the boat together, discovered that they had brought with them the tokens of the people who had died before.

 This seems to be a tradition among them.

“What a strong-willed team.” Lei Shan also saw this scene and his expression changed slightly.

"Those who can come here are either lunatics who overestimate their abilities, or strong people who have been prepared for it. Everyone is mentally prepared." Li Chengyi sighed.

 “Same.” Lei Shan nodded.

“We have to speed up and try to reach our destination within two days. Fight quickly. There may be many dangers hidden in this desert.” Li Chengyi reminded.

“Is there any new information from our intelligence channels?” Lei Shan frowned.

"There are some." Li Chengyi did receive some information about the sand pirates from Qiong An.

“The dead-end teams in front were all attacked by sand pirates. These giant lizards should be their work. Many people died. I suspect they were screening.” He said solemnly.

 “Sifting.” Lei Shan was silent.

"Or testing can be used. If we are too weak, they will naturally not talk nonsense to us. If we are strong enough, they may have another attitude." Li Chengyi said.

 his purpose was to find Harnes directly. And now, the clues of Hanes and the Book of Records are all marked in the Black Road Oasis.

The core hinterland of the Sand Pirates is the most critical place.

“So, are you confident that you can go through this journey?” Lei Shan looked at Li Chengyi tentatively.

 At the first level, we encountered trouble like a giant lizard. You don't have to think about it to know that the next step will definitely be more dangerous.

"If we don't keep going, we won't be able to survive sooner or later." Li Chengyi sighed, "Actually, I have a better idea."

"Oh? Tell me." Lei Shan asked calmly.

"Brother Lei Shan, most of the dead-end people who can come to Sutan are determined people who have experienced a lot of life and death, are not afraid of hardships, and strive to survive in death." Li Chengyi said seriously.

"Such individuals, even in the army, are elites. But here, they will be buried in the desert in vain due to equipment gaps and insufficient training. So."

"So, Brother Li wants to bring everyone together as much as possible? I heard that Destiny Garden has opened a company called Mingyuan in Yi Country. It is dedicated to improving the survival rate of people in dead corners?" Lei Shan Thoughtful.

"That's it. We dead-end people have been ostracized by society and abandoned by our families. The only people we can rely on are our own kind. In this case, why don't we unite ourselves?" Li Chengyi asked.

“Even if a blind spot may pull us in at any time, even if we may suddenly disappear and die somewhere at any time. But at least we have tried hard! We have struggled!”

 His words moved Lei Shan slightly.

 Most people who can integrate teams actually have this idea. And those who dare to pursue clues to get out of blind spots are people with great perseverance and ambition.

“So, how do you identify the restless elements in the team? After all, it is often difficult to distinguish between lunatics and elites.” Lei Shan asked.

“If people are not forced to the point of despair, who would be willing to work hard to become a madman?” Li Chengyi asked.

“Well said!” Wang walked into the command hall from the side and rear. "Actually, our previous leader also had such an idea, but he died in a blind spot only halfway through the implementation. So the first thing we have to ensure is to live as long as possible."                Live longer. Who can absolutely guarantee that he will survive for a long time in the face of a dead end?" Lei Shan sighed.

“Yes, if the leader himself is an unstable factor, a group will not be cohesive at all.” Wang nodded.

“Then rely on the system. Attract people with the same ideas, and then gather strength to maintain the rules of the dead zone.” Li Chengyi said.

"Furthermore" he narrowed his eyes slightly, "there are many people in the blind spot who have various talents. Maybe, one day, there will be a person who can live in the blind spot for a long time. "

Just when the people in the dead end were desperately rushing to the Black Road Oasis to **** the Book of Records.

 Shalinpo urban area.

 In front of the ruins of a collapsed house.

 The setting sun shines slantingly, stretching people's shadows very long.

The boy Paine stood quietly on the roadside, watching his mother kneeling in the ruins, covering her face and crying.

 The sun is very strong, but their hearts are extremely cold at this time.

 A small-scale conflict between warlords half a month ago resulted in the city of Shalinpo being accidentally bombed by more than a dozen missiles.

One of the houses that was accidentally bombed was the house of his grandfather’s family.

 After they arrived here, they couldn't contact their family members. When they found their address, they found that their original home had completely disappeared.

"Maybe I will be the one who lives the longest in the family." This thought flashed through Paine's mind.

 No other normal person can live longer than this blind man.

He quietly held his father's ashes and stood by the ruins, looking at his crying mother.

 “Excuse me, is your name Paine?”

 Suddenly, a gentle female voice floated behind him.

Paine turned his head silently and saw a beautiful woman with brilliant blond hair slowly approaching him.

 She was wearing a simple black women's suit, with a trace of regret and sympathy in her eyes.

 “Who are you?” Paine asked.

“Do you remember the magician who talked to you on the plane?” the woman asked softly.

 “??” Paine opened his eyes wide. How could he not remember that the mysterious magician was a magical man who he couldn't tell was a magician?

"It seems you remember." The woman walked up to him and stared at the ruins in front of her.

 “It was he who asked me to come to you.”

 “Why?” Paine asked.

 “Do you want to save your mother?” the woman asked.

 “Can you help me?” Paine’s eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope. My mother is terminally ill and may not live long.

 In addition, he is also a blind spot person. Maybe he will go to spend time with his family soon.

 At first he had given up hope.

 But the man in front of me said:

"Paine." The woman said softly, "Did you know? In this world, people are different."

"Yes. That's why my mother got terminally ill, and that's why my father died in space. That's why my grandparents were bombed by missiles even when they stayed at home." Paine answered calmly.

 “This is for you.” The woman took out an earphone and handed it to Paine. "If you want to know why you are so unlucky, maybe he can give you the answer."

Paine looked at the black earphones the size of peas in the opponent's palm. Without hesitation, he took them and gently inserted them into his right ear.

 “I wish you good luck.” The blond woman turned around and left slowly.

 There was a slight hissing sound coming from the headphones, but it soon became clear.

 “Hello, Pan.” Li Chengyi’s voice came from it. "You can call me Magician."

"I don't want my mother to die." Paine said calmly, "So, what can I do for you?"

 This world is cruel. He understood this very early on.

 His father often told him that if a person wants to get something, he must give something.

"You are very sensible, child." Li Chengyi sighed, "I can help you treat your mother's disease and delay her survival time. If it cannot be cured, I can help you use freezing technology to completely freeze your mother into dormancy and wait. In the future, medical technology will be stronger and it will be possible to cure this disease and then thaw it.”

 “So, what can I do?” Paine asked.

"You are special, Paine." Li Chengyi said, "Everyone in this world is different. So why, why does the world give people different talents? Have you ever thought about this?"

  ." This question is obviously a bit profound for a boy who is only eight years old.

“God gave you birth and gave you special abilities so that you can do what you should do in this world.” Li Chengyi said.

 “I don’t understand. What should I do?” Paine couldn’t understand.

 “Paine.”

Li Chengyi’s voice was deep.

"Your ability, your talent. Perhaps it is the only light that can find the ultimate hope among us dead-end people."

“In a blind spot, you can surpass everyone and everything, and find the light with the highest real survival rate.”

 “I don’t understand what you are talking about.” Paine hesitated.

 “Come work for me.” Li Chengyi said. "In exchange I help you treat your mother."

".good."
