"Ahem -"
The huge impact made Soshyang dizzy for a long time. When he recovered, the air was full of choking smoke and dust, and the residual heat vibration wave of the explosion also seriously burned the automatic sensing system of the power armor.
At first he thought his whole body was buried, but when the smoke began to dissipate, he found that only his legs were crushed by the fallen broken pillars, and the explosive gun in his hand was also missing.
Hundred meters away, another broken support smashed on the remains of an undead obelisk. The leaked condensate freezes the surrounding rubble, making it look like a machine smashed by a frost giant with a stick.
Farther away, a few pools of leaked material ignited a green flame, which further emphasized the feeling of another world.
The building was almost completely collapsed. The roads were filled with potholes and depressions smashed by huge rocks, as well as tomb spiders that had been smashed and burst open. In a sense, it really became their "grave." "
Soshyang observed for a while, and after confirming that there was no enemy, activated the internal self-check of the armor. Fortunately, he was only slightly damaged.
Then he kicked away the obliquely inserted gravel and metal building wreckage without much effort. After pushing his feet to stand up, the panoramic view of what happened shocked him.
Scattered space necromancers scattered all over the road, some were completely squashed, and some were smashed to pieces by directly hitting boulders.
He switched the communication to the company's public channel, and a series of frustrating hissing noises passed into his ears. He could not receive any information from the team, let alone the company.
"Dad? Axel? Received an answer, received an answer."
After confirming that he could not call his comrades in the communication, Soshyang began to search for any trace of them in the ruins.
After inspecting the metal corpses that were smashed everywhere in the ruins, it seemed that he was the only thing that survived the bombardment of the gravel rain.
Suddenly, his automatic sensing system received a weak signal from the left, and he immediately ran towards that direction.
After crossing an obstacle of black gravel piles, he saw an armored arm sticking out of the tons of stone, and immediately recognized that it was Nade's hand.
"Brother! I will save you right away!"
Soshyang immediately pushed upwards with both hands, while trying to stabilize the fallen wreckage, while pulling out the rubble from the pile of ruins, pulling apart pieces of unknown building materials.
Soon, he managed to reveal Nade's right arm and head, but neither of them moved, and his helmet was damaged, dripping with blood on it.
After redoubled his efforts, Soshyan dug out Nader's torso. During this period, with the help of armor infused with adrenal hormones to strengthen his strength, he removed a large piece of stone that was almost as heavy as him.
"Uh..."
As Soshyan moved, Nad's right arm shook and his fingers stretched.
But Soshyan knows that his condition is far from improving.
There was a large pool of blood spilled over the sharp stone, and there were cracks and depressions in dozens of places on Nadder's armor. His left arm was still dripping with blood, as if the hemostatic organ had lost its function.
"Dade! Dade! Wake up!"
After Nad patted the badly damaged helmet with his hand helplessly, Soshyan immediately realized his intention, and then bent over and turned the helmet to break the connection.
After a sound of air hiss, Soshyang pulled off his helmet, revealing Nad's blood-stained and scarred face.
Only then did he thoroughly see the shocking wound of the other party. Many skull fragments penetrated through the side of Nade's injured head, and the ears on that side had disappeared and turned into a pool of fleshy along the chin.
opened his eyes and saw Soshyan, Nad slowly nodded and smiled barely, revealing his bloodstained teeth.
"I know you can survive, sir... yes, you are destined to be great by nature."
Looking at Nadder's smile, Soshyang suddenly realized who pushed him away at the last moment.
"Why?"
he asked sadly.
"My life is not greater than yours."
"I can't say..."
Nade whispered, then groaned from pain, then he broke free from the trash with his right hand and presented his blaster to Soshyan.
"The commander of the battle team... makes me have to use my life to protect..."
After this last effort, Nade, who accompanied Soshyang from a recruit to a soldier's partner, died.
Soshyan took Nad's pistol and found that the genetic lock on it had been lifted, and the ammunition was full—it was obvious that Nad was ready to transfer the weapon to Soshyan.
He looked at the face of his dead brother and was silent for a long time.
"Soshyan."
At this time, Aksai's voice sounded from behind him, and Soshyan turned around abruptly and saw that the other party was limping and walking among the ruins, clutching his waist.
"Brother!"
Soshyang immediately ran over in a windy manner, grabbing the opponent's shoulder armor with both hands.
"It's great that you are still alive."
But Aksai's gaze crossed his shoulder and looked at the other comrade on the gravel.
"Nade..."
Soshyang nodded painfully.
"He is already honored by the emperor."
Aksai breathed heavily, and a stream of blood gathered from his waist immediately.
Soshyang looked down and found that Aksai's waist armor had been broken, but it didn't look like it had been smashed, but it seemed to have been broken by a sharp object.
"It's just a few aliens that haven't died."
Aksai's tone was very relaxed, but he was breathing with hissing noise. Soshyang knew that the wound must be very deep without looking at it, and it was very likely that he had injured his internal organs.
"Let's go, there should be no enemies ahead."
As he said, Aksai turned and walked towards the other end of the hall. Soshyan followed him, as if the identities of the captain and the players had been reversed.
After walking for two minutes, Soshyang suddenly said:
"Aksai, are you on a mission too."
The opponent's pace stagnates for a second, and then maintains the original frequency.
"Aren't we all performing tasks."
"No, I'm talking about tasks that I don't know about."
Aksai did not answer, but walked forward silently, as if he was a guide.
"Answer me, Aksai."
Soshyang stopped and stared at the other person's back.
"Ugh."
Then, Aksana's helpless sigh echoed in Soshyang's helmet.
"My brother, from the moment you served in the military, haven't you realized that you are so special?"
"I found it."
"Yes, the commander of the battle group entrusted us with a secret task. This task is to do everything to ensure your safety."
"Why."
"I don't know, I didn't ask, nor would I ask, we just executed. This is the Star Warrior, don't you understand, Soshyan?"
Aksai's answer is like a huge rock, weighing heavily on Soshyang's heart. Confusion has never been his normal state, but everything that happened today is too weird.
He is like a blind man in the theater. When everyone is playing their roles, only he thinks he is playing himself.
"Okay, go ahead, maybe the battle captain can answer your question, if we can leave alive——"
was talking, a majestic energy suddenly swept in, Aksai turned around and threw Soshyan to the ground without saying a word.
