Flagship Wind Volcano Forest

“Unfortunately, I originally planned to run over it in one go, but I think your expression is very interesting.”

Hei Dahe laughed while playing with the end of his hair.

“Shall we play a little longer? Anyway, I’m not in a hurry, let’s take our time.”

After all, Hei Dahe turned around and sank to the bottom of the sea, and the deep seas also receded following her departure.

Only the remnants and defeated generals remained on the sea.

Kiyomizu Temple didn’t speak. She quickly tore open the hem of her clothes, and temporarily wrapped Chiyuan with cloth strips.

Chi Yuan, who had been hit hard, didn’t speak anymore. She was picked up by Kiyomizu Temple and placed on Feng Huo Lin’s back.

A strong wind blew up on the sea, and the sound of the siren that belonged to Amberis was caught in the wind.

The long sound of sirens hovered in this area, and the bright red sea surface slowly spread, and was then shaken by the sound waves to create ripples.

Chi Yuan didn’t have much strength anymore, but she still turned her head unwillingly, and looked at the sea where there was nothing left.

Until yesterday, Huang Hai still shared the same bed with her.

Today, she was the only one left in that bed.

The blurred vision made it difficult for Chiyuan to breathe, and the reflection of the sun on the water made it impossible for her to see everything in front of her.

Suddenly, the palms that fell in front of Fenghuo Lin were soaked with water.

It’s raining? Chi Yuan thought blankly, and then heard the sob of the person behind her back.

…Don’t cry, Fenghuolin.

When you cry, I want to cry too.

Sister Huang Hai, Tianmu, we agreed to go back together, why are you abandoning us now?

Why?

“Om—”

In Chiyuan’s last consciousness, AmbowLiss’s mournful whistle took over all of her brain.

If I can kill all the deep sea around Sister Huang Hai, will I be able to save her? Then the sky will not die.

It turns out that it was me who was wrong.

It was my fault that they died as the price.

Chi Yuan, why did you…became what you were most afraid of? You can’t do anything well, and you——became like this again.

… Please, come and save me, someone will save me.

I don’t want to fight such a battle. I’m not ready to watch my companion die before my eyes.

I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of my weakness.

Help me, someone will save me.

…Cabot…

help me.

——

Hokkaido lay quietly on the ground in the corridor.

The protective clothing she was wearing was covered in blood, and the medical gloves had completely fitted her skin. She had worn these gloves for at least ten hours.

She, Jiuyuan, and Kiyomizu Temple cleaned up Chiyuan’s left eye in the urgently cleared operating room.

The wound showed no signs of infection, and the right eye was saved. The damage to the brain was not serious, but——

Thinking of this, Hokkaido let out a slow breath.

Feng Huanhan, who came here at some unknown time, lowered his head silently. The red cloak on her body is no longer as bright as it used to be, and even a hero will sometimes be helpless.

“……Thanks for your hard work.”

Her voice was very hoarse, and it sounded like she had been crying for a long time. Her eye circles were also red, and her eyes were full of exhaustion.

Hokkaido stared at Fenghuolin, she was silent for a while, and finally the technician closed his eyes.

“Thank you.” Feng Huolin squatted down while speaking. She stretched out her hand to help Hokkaido take off the disposable medical gown wrapped on the coat, and tremblingly took off Hokkaido’s gloves.

“…Student Fenghuolin, Chiyuan her… eyes.” Hokkaido considered for a while.

Hearing this, the latter’s hands visibly trembled.

Hokkaido noticed her actions, but she still chose to tell Feng Huanlin about it: “Although it’s a pity, but you know, those eyes are what the humanoid aircraft carrier relies on to control the plane.”

Feng Huolin didn’t speak. She threw the soiled disposable items from Hokkaido into the trash can, and then walked to the door of the room.

She didn’t push the door to go in. She knew that Chi Yuan needed to rest now.

“Student from Hokkaido… This is an unfeeling request. Please save Chiyuan no matter what.” Feng Huolin squeezed his fingers together, “I don’t want that child to perish. She is our hope.”

Hokkaido felt that her lips were so chapped that she couldn’t speak. She looked at Fenghuolin with tired eyes, and looked at the other party with almost pleading eyes.

There are ways, of course. Hokkaido remembers all the things he did with the devout researchers in country J.

But——if this is really done, can Chi Yuan return to her previous appearance?

“…Some things cost a lot.” Hokkaido propped herself up, and she raised her head to look at Fenghuolin: “Even if you entrust me like this, I won’t do it unless Chi Yuan asks me for it.”

She took a deep breath, then got up from the ground.

Hokkaido leaned on the wall, his whole body was a little wobbly.

The casualties caused by this operation cannot be quickly dealt with by three medical soldiers. They have no time to take care of them, and even—abandoned seriously injured classmates.

Time, manpower, resources… can only be invested in the most important Chiyuan.

The other students knew it well, so some students who were already in danger chose to commit suicide, and some cut off their severed limbs neatly.

Even those who want to be selfish realize at this moment that life is just a consumable on the battlefield.

In a war that lasted less than four hours, there are now less than 150 of the more than 200 students left.

The vast difference in combat power makes people feel frustrated and even desperate, and it also makes people—hate.

The germs of hatred spread in the hearts of the students. Everyone, like Chi Yuan, hated their own powerlessness and hated that they couldn’t kill a few more deep seas.

No one knows where this power will drive them to, but what is certain is that such hatred will not make them stay here forever.

“I will continue to perform the duties of the Yellow Sea and serve as the flagship of the C series.” Feng Huolin turned around while speaking, and she stretched out her hand to grab the edge of her cloak.

Then he glanced at Hokkaido: “Before Chi Yuan fully recovers, I will form an aviation team with the remaining aircraft carrier students here, at least to ensure that the information war cannot be lost.”

Hokkaido didn’t answer her, so Feng Huanuolin didn’t continue talking.

She raised her head and looked at the living room at the end of the corridor. It was surprisingly quiet there, but it was full of people.

In the midst of grief, no one spoke. At this time, someone needs to come out and lead others.

Fenghuolin doesn’t want to be herself, but now – it can only be herself.

No hero would flee in battle.

“Hokkaido, I…” Fenghuo Lin paused, and finally decided to speak out his inner thoughts.

“At least, I want Chi Yuan to go back. There is someone waiting for her to go back.”
