Chapter 206
In the violent explosion, Aphra, who had disguised herself as a corpse to attack Mapu, was not spared. Although she subconsciously evaded at the last moment, half of her body was blown to pieces, and the disguise on her face was naturally destroyed. Although her face and eyes were still covered with blood from the burns, Leslie recognized her at a glance.
When Leslie screamed, a battle broke out again in the spaceship. Red fireworks continued to explode, but because the air in the cabin was almost lost, not much sound could be heard.
Leslie forgot Todd, Mapp, and the tense situation. He rushed over and hugged Aphra, who only had half of her body left. He looked at her wound helplessly, but didn't know which side to cover. He held the girl's face and trembled as he called her:
"Lianlian, Lianlian, Lianlian..."
But his voice could not reach the girl's ears.
Aphra could no longer respond to him. In order to better disguise and lurk, she only wore a close-fitting protective suit, which was of little use. At this time, the girl was seriously injured and exposed to the vacuum. She just barely raised her eyes to look at Leslie. It was unknown whether she recognized him or not, and she stopped breathing.
Leslie held her body that seemed to be weightless, and wiped the blood off the girl's face bit by bit with trembling fingers. He stared at her face that was once as beautiful as a fairy but now looked like a ghost, then looked up blankly at the other side, looking at Todd and others who were still fighting fiercely.
At this moment, because of Aphra's sneak attack, Mapu lost his most powerful fighter Mai. Lloyd had gained a certain degree of trust by "killing" Aphra before, so he secretly placed some beetle-sized jammers on some of Mapu's subordinates. As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, Todd's side was already suppressing the other side, and therefore, Mapu's people had no time to take the opportunity to sneak attack Leslie.
Leslie lowered his head, straightened Aphra's hair, and said softly, "It seems... Master Todd no longer needs us. Lianlian, wait for me."
After saying this, he carried the girl out of the cave and flew out of the spaceship, flying farther and farther away. Looking back at the gradually shrinking Liukasao, Leslie smiled softly.
There is some irony and some sadness.
Then, he removed his armor, lowered his head, bent his body slightly, and held Aphra in his arms like a baby. Their cold foreheads were pressed tightly together, and bluish-white frost quickly spread over his body.
At the same time, Rong Yuan, who was in the core area of the spacecraft, suddenly raised his head, and his eyes seemed to see through layers of obstacles and directly see Leslie and the other person in space. He sighed, and a trace of sadness covered his eyes.
After being pushed hard, Mapp fell down at Todd's feet. In order to prevent him from dying here, Todd did not let anyone remove his armor, but destroyed all functions except the life support system. Then Todd grabbed Mapp's neck and lifted him to another room.
Yin Mu knew that Todd was going to interrogate Mapu about some things. Although he hated Mapu, he didn't want to see such a scene, so he didn't leave with them.
He looked back and saw that the conference room was in ruins and corpses were scattered all over the floor.
Because the eighteenth floor was disconnected from the other floors of the ship and the central control system was also destroyed, the spacecraft could no longer maintain stable gravity. Therefore, the corpses and blood floated in the air, colliding from time to time and then slowly separating.
No matter how evil they were in their lives, such a scene still looks too miserable and pitiful.
Yinmu let out a long sigh and couldn't bear to watch any longer.
He stood up and gathered all the bodies in the cabin, including various floating parts, together one by one, and then tied them up with straps. Perhaps he could give them a not-so-dignified funeral later.
He saw that those familiar faces had turned deathly gray, and some of them could not even be recognized clearly. He could only determine their identities based on some personal belongings on their bodies.
He also saw Davalo - the woman who had always relied on her beauty and scheming to be invincible in Liukasao, but was not good at real fighting with guns and swords. She died not long after the melee began, and it was not even known who shot her to death. Her beautiful face was forever frozen in a distorted and terrified expression.
Yinmu couldn't help feeling a little pity when he saw her, so he reached out and closed her eyes.
One, two, three ...seven, eight, nine...nine?
When Yinmu was pulling a corpse, he suddenly felt a strange resistance. He pulled harder, but still couldn't move it.
——Are you caught by something?
Yinmu came closer to take a look out of curiosity, but suddenly saw a smirking face!
The face even blinked!
Through the goggles on the visor, the face looked more terrifying than a bloody corpse! Yin Mu was startled and kicked him out directly, pointing his gun at the other party!
The man tumbled in the air, hit the wall and bounced back. He was afraid that Yinmu would shoot without knowing the reason, so he said something anxiously, but when he saw that Yinmu didn't seem to hear him, he started gesticulating.
Yinmu was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and pressed the side of the helmet , and then heard the other party say in rapid succession: "Don't shoot, don't shoot! I am also Lord Todd's man! Lord Yinmu, I am in the same group with you! I also provided Lord Todd with the building structure diagram of the 18th floor!"
"...Baili Yun?" Yin Mu hesitated for a moment and asked.
It's no wonder that he was suspicious. Baili Yun's voice at this moment was a bit flattering and trembling, which was too different from his usual careless and nonchalant appearance.
"Yeah, it's me."
As Baili Yun spoke, he raised his head and wiped the non-existent sweat from his helmet. He carefully hid in the distance and asked, "Um... Um... Lord Yinmu, you won't kill me, right?"
If it was Tao De in front of him, Baili Yun would never dare to ask such a question. He would definitely run as far as he could and would rather pretend to be a corpse and burn together with others than make any sound. But since Yin Mu was the only one, he felt that he could still fight for it.
As he expected, Yinmu did not make a move. Instead, he lowered his gun, shook his head and said with a tearful smile: "You are lucky to still be alive."
"Yeah, I think so too."
Baili Yun looked at the corpses around him and said with sincere emotion.
Yin Mu didn't know much about Baili Yun - after all, their personalities were very different - but he also knew that Baili Yun had always made small mistakes but never any major ones. Although his character had flaws, it was much better than other people.
Too many people have died today. He is not a butcher who has lost his mind, so he will not shoot Baili Yun again. But he will not let down his guard easily, after all, he has seen many people who have always trusted suddenly betray him.
Baili Yun knew what Yin Mu was thinking, so he didn't dare to get within three meters of him, nor did he dare to run behind him. He just stayed within Yin Mu's sight and helped him clean up the bodies.
“Ding Di——”
“Ding Di——”
“Ding ding ding—”
A series of communication alert tones suddenly rang in their ears, and Yin Mu and Baili Yun were both slightly stunned.
They all knew that the information communication on the 18th floor was completely blocked before, and they had tried to contact their subordinates before, but the communication was completely disconnected. They didn't know if something was damaged in the previous battle, but the communication was suddenly restored at this time, and all the previous information came out at once.
Baili Yun clicked on a message and immediately heard his beloved little daughter crying, "Daddy, come quickly! There are so many bad guys..."
His hands shook, and he accidentally clicked on another communication:
"Husband, help me..."
"Baili Yun, where have you been? Are you going to come back only when I collect your body?"
"Ayun, I'm so scared. Am I going to die? Where are you? Can you hear me?"
"Dad, the Singer Star Pirates have arrived in Liukasao! They are killing people everywhere. What should we do?"
"Wuwuwu... Darling, if you can hear me, then you must remember that I love you! I will always love you! Wuwuwu..."
"Bailiyun, the Singer Star Pirates have attacked us, and the entire family of the External Relations Department has been killed! The bodyguards at home protected us and hid in the secret room. The whole family is still here, but I don't know how long they can hold out. By the way, I won't care about your little lovers, you can do whatever you want!"
"Dad, dad, hurry up and get through! My sister and I are hiding in the Yaoyu Hotel on the ninth floor. You must come find us!"
There were hundreds of messages, but Baili Yun only clicked on the dozen or so that he was most concerned about. When he understood what had happened, he immediately panicked.
At the same time, Yin Mu, who was standing next to him, saw the names of Lao Xia and many of his subordinates in the Fighting Department. He clicked on Lao Xia's message:
"The Singh space pirates are attacking! We are preparing to intercept them outside the spaceship, and we expect to engage in battle in twenty minutes! In addition, I have already notified the people over there. A guy named Alpha told us that he would organize the crowd to take emergency shelter, but I don't know if he can be trusted! And... if this is the last time we leave a message, I just want to tell you... we have been brothers for so many years. I have served in the army with you, protected the country, killed bandits, fought against space pirates, drank together, and betrayed the country together. Except year, I have never regretted anything in my life!"
"Yes, General! We don't regret it!"
"Take care, General!"
“No regrets!”
"We'll meet again in the next life!"
There was a chaotic noise coming from the back, and Yinmu started to cry as he listened.
He looked at the time; twenty-two minutes had passed since he left the message!
In other words, they may have been exchanging fire with each other for two minutes!
In an interstellar battle, if the difference in firepower between the two sides is too great, an entire team can be wiped out in a few seconds, not to mention two minutes!
Yin Mu knew what mission Lao Xia and the others were carrying out, so he was sure that they should not be far from the meeting room on the 18th floor. Maybe they were killed just a few decks away from him, and he knew nothing about it!
He didn't care that he was only wearing a small piece of armor, which was not suitable for interstellar combat at all. He also didn't care to consider the pros and cons, or whether his life would be useful. He didn't even have time to listen to the message from the combat department. He flew out of the hole in the spaceship and disappeared from Baili Yun's sight in an instant.
