Chapter 21: How Could I Possibly Die?

  Let's put aside the massacre at the Red Army base for now and shift our focus to the main character of the bloody battle in Berlin.

  "Hoo hoo hoo ———— Hoo hoo hoo ————"

  The brown-haired young man ran with all his might, running towards the battlefield with a determination to die.

  He wound his way through the streets and alleys of the town, the terrain of which had long been deeply etched in his memory. He ran with a deep and shallow foot over the crushed rubble, sometimes tripping over the chaotic bricks on the ground, but the boy's disobedient feet still stood up again and again, continuing to run forward without hesitation.

  So tired, so tired. Want to close my eyes...

  I really want to rest...

  Absolutely not!!!!!!!

  If you fall asleep, you'll die!!!!!

  This is a battlefield!!! Only the dead can rest here!!!

  The living must dodge those evil bullets at all times!!!

  What is this for?

  To escape from the fear of death.

  Bullets crisscrossed in the air, whizzing past. If hit by one of them, it would be certain death. Even if not fatal, a hole would be drilled into the body, and intense pain and blood would flow all over... It was a horror that made one's eyes unable to look straight. The young man was running away from this fearful shroud. This was no longer rational thinking, but simply under the control of instinct, wildly driving his legs to move.

  The Red Army superiors said they must hold this place at all costs.

  They said they would come to reinforce very quickly!

  Nonsense!

  They received this news a week ago and have been struggling for 7 days!

  In fact, they themselves were completely immobilized by the new Allied weapons?

  The reinforcements are just a joke!!

  Why did he suddenly realize such a simple truth until now?

  And what am I fighting for now?

  The ASK assault rifle in his arms felt exceptionally heavy, and breathing was also very difficult. The intense heartbeat made his chest feel aching. Even his index finger, which was always on the trigger, had become numb due to accumulated fatigue.

  Obviously there's nothing here worth going all out for!

  The young man just came to his senses at this moment.

  There is no family of one's own here, and naturally there is nothing to protect.

  What am I fighting for after all?

  The boy simply didn't understand.

  He should have thought of this problem a long time ago, but for some reason, he didn't want to think about it at all.

  Once I've thought it through clearly, I actually can't solve that problem myself. And in the end, I'll probably be overwhelmed by that meaningless question too.

  What is the reason for fighting?

  For revolutionary war? For protecting loved ones? For glory?

  No! No! No!

  The boy curled up and hid behind a half-collapsed wall. His eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the gray sky.

  Behind him, the heavy artillery of the Allied forces fired shells that blocked the boy's path forward. The boy, to protect himself, pressed his back closer and closer to the wall.

  This is a goddamn battlefield!!

  The Capitol Building can't be defended anymore!!!!!

  This morning, Igor and I decided to defend this building for the last day. If the reinforcements do not arrive by sunset today, Igor and I will have to abandon our position. After all, a person's endurance is also limited, and the repeated orders from the higher-ups to hold on at all costs have completely exhausted their last bit of patience.

  Alright, actually the weapons and ammunition picked up from the battlefield were still usable. However, by noon, the coalition forces seemed to have suddenly changed their tactics, no longer sending troops to capture the building, but instead directly deploying the Athena cannon to destroy the building.

  When I saw the golden light column, like Zeus' spear, breaking through the top of the building and hitting a spot not far from me, and melting a marble statue into magma on the spot. My heart sank to the bottom of the valley at once.

  Damn it, did the Allies finally go this far?

  Wasn't it that instead of excluding small units from fighting in alleys, they directly used heavy artillery to launch a devastating attack?

  It takes this big guy to deal with two people...

  Isn't this killing a mosquito with a cannon?

  But if Xiao Bingjia knew that the Allied forces, after suffering heavy casualties, were still unable to capture this symbol of German military power and had to send in heavy artillery units to clear out the "large number" of enemy troops inside.

  The two of us, Igor and I, were said by the Allies to have a battalion's worth of troops.

  Whether to laugh or cry?

  But... this is nothing to be happy about.

  In the last moment of the collapse of the building, he unfortunately dispersed with Igor, who was supposed to be behind him.

  It's just me now!!!!!

  Igor was buried under the rubble of the collapsed stones, but he didn't even have time to look for himself!

  For the Allied forces' small troops have already sounded the call!

  How could Xiao Bingjia, who had been in contact with them for a long time, forget? But if there was only one infantry team, it would be easy to deal with. However, the key issue is that at the moment when he heard the command, he also seemed to hear the barking of guard dogs.

  Damn it!!!!!

  How could Xiao Bingjia, who has played Red Alert for many years, possibly forget this strongest infantry killer?

  A lone peacekeeping infantryman is not scary, a lone police dog is also not scary.

  The terrible thing is that these two things come together.

  The barking of police dogs and the shotgun pellets of infantrymen are a nightmare for all infantrymen!!

  So, young man~

  In front of your companion's life and death and your own life, who would you choose?

  Hehe~~

  Run away!!

  Xiao Bingjia chose to escape.

  Ran away like a dog with its tail between its legs.

  Xiao Bing Jia finally chose a path of abandoning his companions without the support of foreign aid and companions.

  Can't die... No matter what, can't die!!!!!

  Trembling teeth bit into lips until they bled. Cold sweat on the back soaked through to the wall.

  The gunfire behind grew stronger. My own back grew colder.

  Damn it, the road ahead was blocked by artillery fire, and the road behind was also blocked by pursuing soldiers.

  Is that all?!

  Although I have an ability similar to the Burst Mode in Gundam SEED...

  But, but...

  Do I have to rely on this ability?

  Last time's jump, last time's dodge.

  It's all relying on this sixth sense similar to superpower...

  Do I have to use this ability again this time?

  This ability... I basically can't control it at all...

  It is only used occasionally before death, barely allowing the body to make some movements that it cannot normally make. Of course, one does not have consciousness at that time either.

  I'm going to die...

  No... No way!!

  I don't have any reason to sacrifice my life for this world at all!!

  But reality won't let him off just because of a young man's excuses.

  "Look over there!! There's a Red Army soldier!!!"

  It was no different from the call of a devil, and Xiao Bing didn't even have time to react before he instinctively jumped up and ran in the opposite direction of where the sound came from.

  "Damn it! He's escaped! Get after him! Enemy forces spotted at XXX, XXX requesting reinforcements!!" A soldier wearing a blue Allied Forces uniform chased after Xiaobing while holding a communication device to report back to headquarters.

  The explosion of shells behind him and the shouts of peacekeeping soldiers were like the most terrifying harbinger in the world, Xiao Bing ran wildly with his hair disheveled.

  But will the Allies scattered all over the battlefield let him get away?

  *Whoosh*

  A sharp whistling sound, that is the sound of the Allied rocket troops' javelin missiles piercing through space!!

  A moment of silence——

  BOOM!!!

  The rocket-propelled grenade hit the empty space beside Xiaobingjia, and the impact of the explosion sent Xiaobingjia tumbling through the air. After flying for a full 2 seconds, Xiaobingjia finally crashed heavily to the ground.

  "Hmm..."

  Prostrate on the ground, covering his left eye that was bleeding non-stop, Xiao Bingjia groaned in agony.

  A shrapnel from the rocket explosion pierced his left eye.

  But this is not the worst.

  "Go, let this kid run! Well done, Tommy!" The Allied soldiers who arrived soon after chased up and praised in the intercom inside their helmets.

  "Haha, it looks like we've done a great job this time!"] The intercom in the soldier's helmet crackled with noise.

  "Right, after this battle is over I'll invite you to dinner in Paris!" The Allied sergeant was a bit too proud of himself this time, he took off his helmet and revealed the face inside that had become somewhat distorted from laughing wildly. "I told you, today is my lucky day."

  Xiaoshi grabbed Shao Bingjia's hair and lifted him up. Behind him, more and more allied soldiers gathered around.

  "Ah, is this little mouse the one that made us run for half a day?" A burly Allied soldier glanced at Xiao Bing's half-dead body before spitting on his blood-stained face. Then, as if relieved, he cursed: "Damn little mouse..."

  "Cut it out. If only I had known earlier, I would have just shot him and be done with it. We wouldn't have to run around like this... By the way, ask him where his accomplices are."

  The disgusting saliva flowed down his face, and Xiao Bing's physical strength had now reached its last limit. Whoever could still have the energy to fight continuously without sleep or rest for a week would probably become a god.

  But Xiao Bing Jia was clearly not a god.

  If he were in top physical condition, these surrounding allied troops wouldn't even be a concern to him. But himself... was simply too exhausted!!!!!

  He, caught by the hair, could only see a few blurry figures in the retina of his right eye, and as for the left eye that was probably already useless, it could now only see a blurred redness.

  He is now like a wooden puppet, being tossed around in mid-air by those few Allied soldiers.

  The intense pain constantly transmitted from his left eye to his brain kept reminding him - your life is about to come to an end!!

  His consciousness had become blurry and he couldn't hear the questioning of the several Allied soldiers beside him, only constantly feeling the young life force flowing out of his body.

  This feeling is like being pulled apart thread by thread... it's really unbearable!!

  The young man felt intimidated.

  Death.

  It was so terrifying!!

  More realistic than last time's jump machine, more terrifying!!

  "Hey, are you dead or what? Can't even hear us talking!" The Allied soldier, who had been questioning Xiaobing for a long time, was getting impatient and slammed him to the ground. Then he pulled out his handgun from his waist.

  "If you're dead, then there's nothing that can be done... Actually, you should be dead by now too..."

  The muzzle of the black hole gun was suddenly so clear to Xiao Bingjia, who was half-dazed on the ground for some reason.

  The dark muzzle and the barrel emitted a cold glow of death. It made people worry that in the next second, it would fire bullets that could kill people.

  When this gun's trigger clicks in an instant, I... guess I'll get another world again.

  And this world itself... will also be erased without a trace.

  Dead is dead.

  It's just like I've never been in this world before...

  A scream from the bottom of his heart.

  I don't want to die...

  The boy yearned so much.

  Want to live on...

  Bang———

  A red spark flashed by.

  At the same time...

  Uh ah ah...

  In a dimly lit place, inside an object resembling a container, the lone long-haired girl who should have been lifeless and eternally asleep let out an inhuman scream.

  Along with her scream, everything around her seemed to be twisted and torn apart by an invisible giant hand.

  Glass was spinning violently in mid-air like stars, and the alloy steel plate that had been torn into thousands of fragments was like a cannonball, crashing into the surrounding walls that had already collapsed, and soon the futuristic room was smashed open with a gap.

  "No! No! Nosaki! You can't do this!! Dammit, who made her suddenly wake up!?!" On the ground, a thin middle-aged man with glasses grasped the protrusions on the ground tightly, preventing himself from being blown away by the scattered powers. At the same time, his face filled with terror, he stretched out his right hand as if to stop something.

  Bang!!!

  A loud bang.

  The special reinforced glass cover that originally wrapped around the single ponytail girl was pushed outward by a huge force from inside.

  Then the entire space was a violent shake, and a huge pale blue light shield spread out from the container to the surroundings. And this light shield is also constantly expanding outward.

  Although the light continued to scatter in all directions, it was also constantly fading. Soon, this layer of destructive light merged with the air.

  Looking around, the laboratory that was still relatively intact has now been completely flattened, with steel debris and cement rubble blown everywhere. At the same time, looking up at the ceiling, a large hole about 10 meters in diameter appeared above, and this hole also penetrated several layers of the ceiling.

  Oh ~ I didn't know there were still several layers on top.

  The pierced floor can already see the azure sky above.

  Look, this basement has been thoroughly penetrated all the way up to the top floor!

  As the culprit of this accident, the red tight-dressed girl with a ponytail full of sci-fi sense was now walking down from the container in an unsteady gait.

  The girl's eyes seemed to have a hint of nostalgia as she glanced around.

  "How long has it been since I've had this feeling? This down-to-earth realness..."

  The girl said softly.

  Then she lifted her head and looked at the sky flowing out of the rooftop that had been pierced through. The girl's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

  "How many times... how many times... wanting to see the sky outside?"

  The girl's body trembled involuntarily as she tried to touch the sky with her hand, which was impossible to reach.

  "Wait... Wild Spring... you... don't... go..." The middle-aged bespectacled man, who was pressed under a concrete slab, spoke in a stuttering voice.

  Looking back at this ugly 'little thing', a girl named Yeshui appeared in the eyes of a girl named Ye with an emotion called contempt.

  "Shimada... I really want to kill you right now... I really, really want to kill you..." The girl's voice was soft and gentle. But it couldn't hide the naked killing intent and hatred inside. "But..." The girl's tone changed.

  "After all, you've been taking care of us sisters for a long time... So, I won't kill you now either... After all, Yuriko... Never mind."

  Noguchi waved his hand to interrupt himself: "I shouldn't be talking so much with you..." Noguchi's body turned, gazing up at the sky.

  At the same time, her body also defied scientific principles and floated in mid-air.

  She floated in mid-air, ignoring the ear-piercing alarms and the surging soldiers outside. She was like a goddess, looking down at the figure below making one last effort - stretching out his hand to pull her back, Island Shinji revealed an unprecedented cold smile.

  "Before I go find that person destined for me. Let me properly repay you first ~ I'm going to... destroy all your hard work!!!"

  "No!!!!" Isoda Shinsuke's face was covered in blood as he let out a desperate roar.

  "Monster...!!" The Allied sergeant fell to the ground, crawling backward and shouting at the red army soldier who was crouching down in front of him.

  Why is it said to be a monster?

  Just look at the scattered corpses in front of that 'person' and you'll know.

  At the moment when his companion fired, the Red Army brat who seemed to be out of breath suddenly emitted a purple light from his eyes, and then it was as if time had stagnated for half a second. A whirlpool-like light screen appeared on the brat's body.

  Then something happened that left me speechless.

  In just an instant, I and several other comrades were found by that light screen again and immediately turned into a mass of bloody flesh fragments. Fortunately, my reaction speed was very fast and I narrowly escaped the light screen, but at the cost of my own two legs.

  Xiao Bing Jia looked at the Allied soldier in front of him, who was so scared that he had urinated in his pants. The left eye area, which should have been blind, suddenly burst out with a blood-red glow.

  "He said in a low voice: 'How can I die? In this world that doesn't belong to me...'"
