"So what if you rebelled and killed everyone in the organization? As long as I'm still here, with this experimental base and these research results, we can rebuild an organization within three years.
"As for you guys, you'll die soon after activating the device. You didn't expect this, did you? I've prepared this Four-Star Frost Protective Suit. "
Standing there, the consul looked at Luo Teng and Cynthia in front of him. He spread his arms, and the Frost Protective Shield around him thickened, forming an ice wall in front of him.
"Huff, huff, huff …"
Luo Teng panted and looked at Cynthia beside him. He said in a low voice, "Later, I'll activate the device's self-destruct system and blow up his Frost Protective Shield. You follow up and severely injure him, then destroy the control center."
Cynthia was silent for a moment. A bright smile appeared on her blood-stained face. "I'll self-destruct then. I'll use both my spiritual energy and my physical body to self-destruct. I should be able to make this scum freeze for a moment. You're stronger than me. You're more confident in severely injuring this scum.
"Moreover, even I can't bear to see a woman in such a sorry state. Why don't I blow her up? It'll be cleaner that way."
Luo Teng was silent. He clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked. He nodded.
"Bam!"
Cynthia shouted. Her eyes lit up, and light green spiritual energy materialized …
Suddenly, a heavy pressure came toward them. The minds of the three people present went blank.
"Oh no! This is Spiritual Stab! "
Cynthia exclaimed. Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably. This was caused by the suppression of superior spiritual energy.
Dong …
When Luo Teng and Cynthia came back to their senses, they saw two giant axes slashing toward them.
One of the giant axes smashed the ice wall, while the other chopped the Frost Protective Shield. It was as if it had hit an eggshell, and the latter was instantly shattered.
The consul's body flew backward. The Frost Protective Suit on his body was torn apart.
The Four-Star Frost Protective Suit could not withstand a single blow from the brute force of a Realm Six fighter.
"Ah …"
The ball-like white head revealed a terrified expression. He turned in the air and activated the Heart Elemental Power Boots. A blue flame shot out, and he fled toward the emergency passageway on the other side.
Swish swish …
In the corner, seven mechanical white mice fired paralysis needles at the same time. The paralysis needles, which had been improved by a hundred times, entered the Consul's body. His body stiffened, and he fell from the sky.
"This is …"
"Who?!"
This series of changes left Luo Teng and Cynthia dumbfounded. Both of them looked at the newcomer, and then their pupils constricted at the same time.
A figure wearing a Mechanic robe stood there with two [Undying Warriors] behind him.
The man wore a ring on his hand. It was pure crystal, and in the dim light, it drew a hazy line.
"That ring …"
"Cromwell's successor?!"
Luo Teng and Cynthia exclaimed in unison. The two of them knew more secrets than the burly man, so they knew the importance of this ring.
Hayashi River looked at the two of them and noticed that the gray lines had already spread to their necks. He shook his head secretly.
"You don't have much time left. If you want revenge, do it as soon as possible …"
As he spoke, he walked toward the control center. The self-destruct device of the research base was there.
Luo Teng and Cynthia woke up, and they looked at the Consul with monstrous killing intent in their eyes.
At this moment, the Consul was lying on the ground. He wanted to move, but he could not. Cold sweat continuously seeped out of his body, drenching his clothes.
The half-destroyed frost protective suit was still in effect, freezing his clothes. The coldness from the inside to the outside made his slightly plump body tremble uncontrollably.
"You bastard, die …" Cynthia roared, the hatred in her voice making one's heart palpitate.
Luo Teng held a dagger and walked forward. He had wanted to hack this guy into pieces a long time ago.
"No, no, no …" The Consul roared in his heart. Under the effect of the super-effective paralysis needles, he could not even make a sound.
Hayashi River activated the self-destruct device and looked at the four-hour countdown. Looking at the mess around him, he cursed in his heart that the countdown was a little too long …
Wouldn't it be better to just blow up such a place?
Why was Cromwell of the C team so dirty?
If it was me … Hayashi River thought about it and shook his head …
Thump, thump …
Luo Teng and Cynthia fell to the ground. In front of them was a pile of minced meat. If not for the broken four-star frost protective suit, it would be hard to guess the original identity of the minced meat.
Blood flowed all over the ground. Cynthia blinked, her bright and beautiful eyes glowing with a faint gray.
She looked at the man who had fallen to the side. She had not looked at that determined face for a long time.
"My three wishes in the past were a simple wedding, a family photo with my child, and that we could die together …
"At least one of these three wishes has been fulfilled …"
She reached out and placed her slender hand in the man's rough palm. Cynthia suddenly felt a little regretful. If she had been more selfish and knocked Luo Teng out ten years ago, then escaped with him …
Perhaps she would be blamed by this man for the rest of her life, but at least he would be alive …
In the midst of her blurry vision, she saw a figure walking over, the crystallized ring glistening in the darkness.
"It's all because of you … It's all because of you, Cromwell. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have to suffer like this. It's all because of you … "
Cynthia shouted in a low voice, trying her best to accuse him.
Hayashi River stood there. He didn't want to explain anything. Since he had ended everything on behalf of Cromwell, he would bear the brunt of this guy's infamy for a while.
"Do you have any requests …" Hayashi River asked.
He knew that this was an extremely intelligent woman. Her accusation was just to make him feel guilty and then make a dying request.
"If it's possible, save him. If it's not possible, bury us together in the depths of the Cracked Scale Forest. No one will come and disturb us … "
As Cynthia spoke, she fell silent.
…
Sea-Ao Empire.
Grand Star Ao Prefecture, a prison in the suburbs.
In the deepest cell, a petite figure suddenly woke up. She lifted her head, and a strange light shone from her body, illuminating her face.
It was a face full of scars and distorted. She was very young, only about ten years old.
"Mom … is dead … Mom is dead …"
The young voice repeated this sentence. Gradually, the voice became shrill, and suddenly, a shrill scream rang out.
Bang!
In the cell, the little girl disappeared without a trace.
In an instant, the prison was in chaos. The prison warden mobilized all the personnel, but they couldn't find any trace of the little girl.
"Trouble, big trouble! Why did she suddenly disappear … "
The warden's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He dialed a number and reported the incident.
On the other end of the communicator, a low voice said, "Disappeared? Did she make any movements before she disappeared? "
"The person on duty seemed to have heard something like … Mom is dead …" the warden reported in a low voice.
"Mm. I got it. Well done. "
The communicator hung up. The warden was confused. This was the cell for serious criminals in Star Ao Prison. A prisoner had mysteriously disappeared, and he was praised by the warden?
On the other side.
In a dark room, a lighter lit up and a cigarette was lit.
In the darkness, the cigarette flickered. As the smoke lingered, the figure of a slender man could be vaguely seen.
"Mom is dead …? Is Cynthia finally dead …? "
"I thought that this pair of fugitive lovebirds would come back for revenge one day …"
"I was thinking that when that day came, I would use their daughter as a bargaining chip, and then use absolute power to trample them under my feet."
"Cynthia is dead, so Luo Teng should be dead too. What a pity! Luo Teng, one of the three future generals of the Empire that the commander of the first army personally praised more than a decade ago, is dead just like that … Hehehe … Hahahaha … "
…
Midnight.
The rain was getting heavier. In a tree hole, a mechanical device emitted hot air, filled with warmth.
Luo Teng woke up. Instinctively, he wanted to jump up, but he felt a sharp pain in his body, especially in his back. It was a heart-wrenching pain.
Turning around, on the other side of the tree hole, there was an ice sculpture. Inside was Cynthia.
The blood on her face had been wiped away. With a gentle smile, she looked like she had fallen asleep.
However, Luo Teng knew that the woman he loved was already dead.
On the other side, a figure sat. He was wearing a Mechanic robe and a fully enclosed sensor helmet. He held a document in his hand. It was the mysterious man.
Outside the tree hole, two Undying Warriors stood guard on both sides, alert of the surroundings.
"You're awake."
Hayashi River looked over, then glanced at the document in his hand. This was the information on the Iron Blade Guard Army.
On the first page was Luo Teng. Twelve years ago, a reserve soldier in the training camp of the first army, full marks in all aspects.
On the evaluation column, there was a comment from the commander of the first army — Future General!
"Before your woman died, she begged me to save you.
"I removed the device in your body, but it can't save your life. It can only extend your lifespan for a few more hours. However, if I freeze you now, there might be a way to cure you in the future.
"Of course, I'll be honest with you. I don't have much of a relationship with Cromwell or the Black Net. I'm not his disciple. This time, I'm here to clear this place because I accepted the mission left by Cromwell to complete the deal.
"As for the way to save you, I'll consider researching it. However, it will take a long time."
Hayashi River said calmly.
"You mean, you're the collaborator of the continent's madman?" Luo Teng showed a trace of shock.
Hayashi River's heart skipped a beat.
Luo Teng said calmly, "My woman is dead. My brothers are all dead. I'm afraid my child is also dead … I want to accompany them."
"Thank you, Your Excellency. After destroying this research base, there won't be any more experiments like us … "
Hayashi River nodded. "In 40 minutes, the research base will explode."
Luo Teng looked out of the tree hole. From there, he could see a corner of the abandoned land.
"Among the Black Net organizations in the Eastern Continent, the Sea-Ao Empire is the strongest. They have infiltrated the empire the most …"
Luo Teng took advantage of this time to talk about the Black Net. He knew more secrets than anyone else.
Hayashi River listened quietly. He realized that Luo Teng was indeed worthy of the title of a future general. His foresight was extraordinary. If he were to become the leader of the Black Net organization in Lie Lin Prefecture, it would continue to grow and become a terrifying force.
"Boom …"
A dull explosion sounded. A corner of the abandoned land expanded like a balloon. However, it did not cause a huge explosion.
This research base that had existed for nearly two thousand years was reduced to ruins …
"It's over …" Luo Teng murmured.
Hayashi River looked at the man and said, "You can consider my suggestion just now. It's not too difficult for me to break the [Undying Warrior]. It's just time-consuming."
"I know. Perhaps twenty years from now, the matters of this world will no longer be difficult for you, sire."
"Perhaps you don't know what it means to be a collaborator of Cromwell …"
Luo Teng's face gradually paled. His voice was weak. He was already on the verge of death. He only held on until now because he wanted to see the destruction of the research base.
"Sir, can you bury me with Cynthia?"
Hayashi River nodded.
Suddenly, Luo Teng jumped up and pounced at Hayashi River.
Bang!
Luo Teng's spiritual energy was activated instinctively. Luo Teng was sent flying. He crashed heavily into the tree hole and fell, blood splattering all over the ground.
Luo Teng revealed a satisfied expression. "When I joined the army, I hoped that if I didn't have a good ending, I would die on the battlefield or in the hands of a peerless figure. My wish would be fulfilled if I died in your hands. It's a pity that I won't be able to witness your glory in the future … "
"I'm not a peerless figure …" Hayashi River said.
Luo Teng crawled to Cynthia's side and leaned on her. "I wonder if I can know your name before I die."
Seeing that the man's determined expression was getting darker and darker, Hayashi River fell silent for a moment. "In the Sea-Ao Empire, my code name is' Ling '."
"Ling …"
Luo Teng's eyes widened. He then laughed loudly and muttered a few words in a low voice … before he fell silent.
