Chapter 18

"Cough -"

The huge impact made soshyan 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 down the automatic sensing system of power a.

At first he thought he was buried, but when the smoke began to disperse, he found that only his legs were pressed by the fallen broken pillars, and the bomb gun in his hand was missing.

A hundred meters away, another broken support hit the wreckage of an obelisk of the dead. The leaked condensate frozen the surrounding rubble, making it look like a machine flattened by an ice giant with a stick.

Further away, several pools of leaked materials ignited a green flame, which further set off the feeling of another world.

The building almost completely collapsed, and the road was full of pits hit by huge stones, as well as the cracked tomb spiders. In a sense, it really became their "tomb."

Soshyan observed for a moment. After confirming that there was no enemy, he started the internal self-test of armor. Fortunately, he was only slightly damaged.

Then he kicked away the obliquely inserted rubble and metal building debris without much effort. After pushing his feet to stand up, the panorama of what happened shocked him.

The road was scattered with broken space dead, some completely flattened, and some directly hit boulders smashed to pieces.

He switched his communications to the company's public channel, and a series of frustrating hissing noises came into his ears. He couldn't receive any information from the team, let alone the company.

"Nad Axel? Got the answer, got the answer."

After determining that he could not call his comrades in arms in the communication, soshyan began to search for any trace of them in the ruins.

After examining the metal corpses smashed everywhere in the ruins, it seems that he is the only thing that has survived the indiscriminate bombing 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 a black gravel barrier, he saw an armored arm inserted from tons of stone, and recognized it as Nader's hand for the first time.

"Brother! I'll get you out right away!"

Soshyan immediately pushed up with both hands. While trying to stabilize the falling debris, soshyan pulled out the gravel from the pile of ruins and pulled away the unknown building materials.

Soon, he managed to reveal Nader's right arm and head, but neither of them moved, and his helmet was broken and dripping with blood.

After redoubling his efforts, soshyan dug out Nader's trunk. During this period, with the help of injecting adrenal hormone into his armor to strengthen his strength, he removed a large stone almost as heavy as him.

"Er..."

As soshyan moved, Nader's right arm shook and his fingers stretched.

But soshyan is well aware that his condition is far from getting better.

A large pool of blood spilled over the sharp stone, and there were cracks and depressions in dozens of places on nad's armor. His left arm even flowed blood, as if the hemostatic organ had lost its function.

"Nader! Nader! Wake up!"

After Nader helplessly patted the helmet that had been seriously smashed on one side, soshyan immediately realized his intention and bent down to turn the helmet to break the connection.

After a hiss of air, soshyan pulled off his helmet and revealed nadna's bloody and scarred face.

At this time, he completely saw each other's shocking wound. There were many skull fragments on one side of nade's injured head, and the ears on that side had disappeared and turned into a pool of meat mud along his chin.

When he opened his eyes and saw soshyang, Nader nodded slowly and smiled reluctantly, revealing his bloodstained teeth.

"I know you can survive, sir... Yes, you are born to be great."

Looking at nade's bloody smile, soshyang suddenly realized who pushed himself away at the last moment.

"Why?"

He asked sadly.

"My life is no greater than yours."

"I can't say..."

Nader whispered, then groaned with pain. Then he took his right hand out of the garbage and presented his blaster gun to soshyan.

"Commander Zhan... Let me use my life to protect..."

After this last effort, Nader, who accompanied soshyan from a recruit to a soldier, died.

Soshyan took Nader's pistol and found that the gene lock on it had been lifted and the ammunition was full - it was obvious that Nader was ready to transfer the weapon to soshyan.

He looked at the face of his dead brother and remained silent for a long time.

"Soshyan."

At this time, Aksai's voice sounded from behind him. Soshyang turned back fiercely and saw that the other party was limping between the ruins with his waist covered.

"Brother!"

Soshyan immediately ran over in the wind and grabbed each other's shoulder armor with both hands.

"It's great that you're still alive."

Aksai's eyes crossed his shoulder and looked at another comrade in arms on the rubble.

"Nader..."

Soshyan nodded painfully.

"He has returned to the emperor."

Aksai gasped heavily, and a stream of blood flowed down his waist.

Sosh looked down and found that the armor at Akesai's waist had been broken, but it didn't seem to be cracked, but it seemed to be broken by sharp tools.

"Just met a few non dead alien bastards."

Aksai's tone was very relaxed, but he was breathing with a hiss. Soshyan knew without looking that the wound must be very deep, and it was very likely that the internal organs had been hurt.

"Let's go. There should be no enemies ahead."

With that, Axel turned and walked to the other end of the hall, and soshyan followed him. At this time, it seemed as if the identities of the captain and team members had changed.

After walking for two minutes, soshyan suddenly said:

"Axel, are you on a mission, too?"

The opponent's pace stagnated for a second, and then maintained the original frequency.

"Aren't we all on duty?"

"No, I mean, I don't know the task."

Axel didn't answer, but walked forward silently, as if he were a guide.

"Answer me, axel."

Soshyan stopped and stared at each other's back.

"Alas."

Then, Axel's helpless sigh rang back from soshyan's helmet.

"My brother, haven't you found yourself so special since the moment you served?"

"I found it."

"Yes, the commander of the war gave us a secret task, which is to give everything to ensure your safety."

"Why?"

"I don't know. I didn't ask, and I won't ask. We just execute. This is the Star Warrior. Don't you understand, soshyang?"

Axel's answer was like a huge stone, which weighed heavily on soshyan's heart. Confusion was never his normal state, but what happened today was too strange.

He is like a blind man in the theater. When everyone is playing their own roles, only he thinks he is playing himself.

"Well, go on. Maybe the commander can answer your question. If we can leave alive -"

Just as he said this, a great energy suddenly swept through. Without saying a word, Axel immediately turned and threw soshyan to the ground.
