Cyber Heroes

Yuki heard the screech of tires.

He clung to the rock wall, closed his eyes and lowered his heart rate.

The artificial heart slows down the flow. At the same time, the diaphragm stopped moving, and the air bags on both sides of the "Dragon's Breath" expanded to the smallest extent, allowing him to breathe at the smoothest speed.

came a voice.

"Lieutenant, that woman turned a corner here...the fork in the road here-eh?"

"What's wrong?"

"She seems to have come around."

"The road over there is blocked? I remember it is open, right?"

"So panicked that you became a headless fly?"

"By the way, is it really okay for us to talk like this now? The echo can travel far, right?"

"You don't understand, third child." The second voice - the one who sounded like the leader said in a low voice: "If we don't chase her out, the woman will probably think that she is out of danger and escape slowly. It's okay. We can only make some faint noises and tell her that 'someone is chasing her', and then she will run away desperately. This can speed up the pace of the game!"

"High! Lieutenant, high!"

"Hahaha, there is another benefit here." The leader laughed softly: "Don't she also have a baby with her? That baby also weighs 20 kilograms, which will consume a lot of her physical energy. ! As long as she is forced like this, she will be able to squeeze out her limits. Imagine trying her best, her heart and lungs will explode, and her eyes will turn black. In this case, she can see the light, take a breath, and think I escaped, and my eyes were filled with hope—and then, wow! We appeared!"

"Hahahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Yuki couldn't help but tremble.

This is the "thug" - this is the martial arts man who is addicted to "violence" and "trampling"!

The sound of tires faded away.

Yuki's strength relaxed and he couldn't help but fall to his knees.

His hands and feet were shaking. But the amazing thing is that while the feeling of "fear" continued to surge, there was also a feeling growing in his heart.

That's "shame".

He was ashamed of his fear.

"I am a 'knight'." The boy said to himself: "I am a 'knight'... I am, a knight."

——I have remembered that pain in my heart...I can't let it happen to others again.

Yuki said to himself in his mind.

He quietly stood up from the corner where he was hiding, and then secretly poked his head out of the corner.

He was afraid that there was a face behind the corner, waiting for him to poke his head out, and yell, "I got you!"

Or, just a gun.

Looking at the empty corridor, Youki breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he hit his thigh hard above the knee.

——I am a knight...

Although he knew that from a rational point of view he should not follow, a certain emotion drove his behavior.

Little by little...

Be careful...

——Keep a corner distance at least once...

When little Edward saw blood on the ground, he couldn't help but laugh.

Generally speaking, this means two things.

First, he did not lose track.

Of course, this is not a big problem. There are surveillance cameras in the corridor anyway, so even if the other party is really lucky and can accurately navigate through the unmonitored sections, that doesn't matter.

Because there must be surveillance at the exit from the corridor.

At that point, the brothers in the monitoring room will definitely issue a reminder.

And then there's the second point - that woman is reaching her limit.

She couldn't even make a protective move when she fell to the ground.

"Very good..." Little Edward commented.

He was even considering whether to slow down the pace a little so that the woman could take a break.

Although it is interesting to look at a dead body, it is not as interesting as crushing hope with your own hands.

At this time, a person at the end of the team suddenly listened to the rear.

"What's the matter?" asked little Edward.

"There seems to be an alarm bell?" the man said uncertainly.

We are now a few kilometers away from Dazhai. No matter how obvious the echo effect is, the sound will not travel this far clearly.

Another person said doubtfully: "Alarm bell? Isn't it? Didn't you receive the signal to go back?"

"Indeed..." Little Edward nodded: "Although I have informed the others and asked them to deliberately create the illusion that there are loopholes in the stronghold's defense... but they shouldn't also turn on the alarm bell, right? It’s so loyal!”

"Should we go back and see..."

With a snap, Little Edward slapped hard with his palm, interrupting his men: "You are crazy! The second master is still in the stronghold, what kind of enemy can come in? The government? The government's suppression of bandits will not be like this."

"Anyway, we are only a few minutes away from the exit. Let's go back and take a look after playing with that woman!"

……………………………………………………………………………………

Emiko has reached her limit.

Her heart was giving out. So does the lungs. The original lung structure cannot support such intensity of exercise.

Even her eyes couldn't see clearly. Although there was some lighting in the corridor, she could barely see.

The originally dark corridor seemed to have turned into some kind of demonic realm - the kind that existed in that kind of... that kind of "fantasy" that had long been abandoned by humans... the impossible monsters... the man-eating monsters... that The abode of something unreal.

The exit ahead seemed out of reach. To Emiko, the ground was as soft as cotton... No, it was because she was almost out of strength.

The child in her arms seemed to sense something, crying desperately and pushing Emiko who was holding her hard.

"Quiet...quiet!" Emiko screamed, covering the speaker on the child's mouth with her hand. She almost wanted to crush the vocal organ. But as a non-cyborg, she doesn't have that power.

Several times, she wanted to simply leave the girl halfway. But the faint sound coming from behind suppressed this idea several times.

——This kid is so ungrateful...

Such thoughts flashed through Emiko's fading consciousness.

——If my sister didn’t like you, I would definitely strangle you to death...

She ran stumblingly.

I don't know how much time passed - the dying woman seemed to have completely lost her sense of time. She couldn't even remember how she ran down the last section of the road.

When she regained consciousness, she was lying on the soft moss layer.

Emiko's lungs were the first to feel the smell of "outside". Plant photosynthesis brings higher oxygen content than inside the tunnel. She breathed the air with "life force"!

Next comes the eyes.

Sunshine... is the warm light of the sun, shining through her slightly metallic eyelids and caressing her retinas softly.

"I...I came out..." Emiko regained consciousness slightly, but she was not sure whether she was in a dream.

As far as the eye can see, there is a black tundra.

Perhaps because there is an underground river underground, the soil is much wetter than elsewhere. There is a little bit of vegetation here. Black moss covered the entire field of vision, and occasionally there were light red lines in some places. In addition, there are some half-meter-high white fungal vegetative structures.

Yes, this is "outside"!

"It's great..." Emiko cried with joy: "We can all go back alive...It's great..."

"Kid, we can live together now. Really... I can go to the gene bank to register a name for you... We can become a family... As long as we arrive... As long as we arrive in the city..." Emiko gasped while Said: "As long as we arrive in the city, the gentlemen will...will...us..."

"Hahahahahahahahaha... the patrons don't care much about the life and death of individuals!"

At this moment, a rough man's voice came from the speaker on the young girl's mouth.

Emiko felt dizzy.

This voiceprint...she is very familiar with it. The one who occasionally tortured her...

"how come……"

"Look behind you!"

The trumpet on the young girl's mouth continued.

The young girl seemed to have some awareness of this. She shed tears and shook the loudspeaker on her mouth desperately, as if she wanted to interrupt the words in her mouth. But this doesn't seem to depend on her will.

Behind him, there was the sound of tires crushing the ground.

Emiko screamed and ran away. But she had already exhausted her physical strength just now. She only took two steps before she fell to the ground.

Little Edward came out of the corridor and said with a smile: "Let me tell you a good thing... that little thing in your arms is the culprit who betrayed you!"

Emiko stared blankly at the little girl in her arms.

"She, hehehe..." Little Edward snapped his fingers. At this moment, the little girl seemed to be allowed to use the vocal organ. She cried desperately, and her cry was extremely harsh.

Emiko felt her eardrums hurt.

It hurts.

It hurts so much that I want to cry.

"She is a tape recorder, a video recorder, a locator..." The man chuckled: "In the past year or so, three fools have taken her to escape, and you are the third one. Her eyes can record the first two fools His expression. I recently took it out to reflect on - do you want to see it?"

"You..." Emiko shed tears: "This little bastard, she..."

"It is indeed possible that she is a hybrid. Maybe she is the genetic descendant of one of the brothers in the village. Think about it, even if we don't like the 'obligation', it is inevitable." Little Edward chuckled and said, "You What are we going to do now? Are we going to strangle this little bastard to death?"

The little girl cried miserably, as if she had foreseen what was going to happen next.

Emiko looked at the baby blankly.
