Chapter 307 Your Promise

This was the third day after the overall migration plan was completed.

The strategy formulated by the human side has come to an end, and since then it has completely shifted to the defensive stage. They rely on large cities to survive, and usually open the urban force field as a means of defense, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.

The so-called timing can be the technology of ancient civilizations or a certain powerful mecha. Human beings know very well that unilateral defense will not help. The means to end a war can never be compromise. If you want to end a war, there is and can only be war. itself.

It was at this time that Lu Mingfei received the news that Eli Yi had fainted.

"I'm sorry for making you worry, Ming Feijun."

In the holographic screen is Eri, who looks haggard but still cheers up.

Lu Mingfei had a gentle smile, but in the corner where the camera couldn't capture, he clenched his fists tightly.

For how long, the two of them had been communicating via video and email. The first time they communicated in real time was because Eri was in a coma and was hospitalized.

It was only now that Lu Mingfei knew that this girl had been working on high-intensity tasks for a month and had not even slept for the past three days. She had not had a physical examination for a long time. This was obviously against the rules. Those who were qualified could not sleep for one day. Two physical examinations, recording the status of getting on and off the plane respectively. This is a rule written in black and white in the manual. But if we really want to hold people accountable, who can be blamed? The last few days have been the final stage of the relocation plan, and everyone has been extremely busy from top to bottom. Just on the official record, there have been more than a thousand people who fainted directly on the job, and Eri is just one of them. .

"Forget what happened before."

"Next, you give me a good rest."

Lu Mingfei had a straight face.

"Did you hear that!"

"Uh-huh."

Eriyi obediently agreed.

"I got it."

With force field protection, the city will not be in danger unless it is an extremely high-intensity dragon beast tide.

As a result, Eriyi had a luxurious recuperation time.

Lu Mingfei still had to take action. Human beings could not allow the uncontrolled reproduction of dragon beasts. Killing as many monsters as possible could also delay the awakening of the dragon tomb to a certain extent. According to the deciphered records of ancient civilizations, once the great dragon When mankind returns to the world, the pale dragon wings will completely cover the sky, and the sun, moon and stars will no longer shine, and the curtain of eternal doom will begin.

It looks like a prophecy from a myth, the kind of story an old man would tell a child around a campfire, about the end of the world or something like that. But since monsters transformed into dragons have appeared, this prophecy may not be just false.

There is no doubt that the day the dragons wake up will be the moment of decisive battle between the two races. Before that, all humans have to do is to keep delaying time until they are ready.

Satellites, drones, and humans use various means to observe the location of the Dragon Tomb 24 hours a day. A team of hundreds of scientists analyzes all available data and calculates the recovery timetable of the Dragon Tomb.

Dragons need a huge amount of nutrients to wake up. Currently, no matter whether they are ordinary species or large species, all dragon beasts are doing exactly this. They feed everything they plunder back into the fungus carpet, just like worker bees in a hive society hunt for food. Same as beekeeping queen.

Lu Mingfei's mission was to disrupt this process. Mechas including him fought in the sky, ocean, and earth with the dragon-turned monsters and plundered the nutrients they were supposed to feed back to the fungus carpet.

During this process, anthropologists were surprised to discover that the nutrients extracted by dragon beasts were a super ideal energy source. They used this energy to cultivate crops and livestock and build three-hundred-story production units. In one stroke, it solved the self-sufficiency problem of large cities.

After finishing the day's work and taking a shower, Lu Mingfei spoke to Eriyi on the dormitory terrace.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ming Feijun."

Eriyi was in front of the piano, looking sideways at the camera.

She has been out of work for nearly a month, and has a team of professional nutritionists and medical staff on call around the clock. After getting enough rest, Eri's face is rosy and her eyes are brighter. Compared with the previous haggardness, Eri is now Yi has made quite gratifying changes, both mentally and physically.

Lu Mingfei watched her changes day by day, and his mood became more relaxed. He heard from the doctor that after a while, Eliyi would be able to fully recover. Although it would not be to the level of an ordinary person, as long as she did not act like before If you go on missions like that, nothing will happen.

Lu Mingfei looked at the display opposite the video.

"Eri, do you want to play the piano?"

"No...no."

The girl blushed and pulled down the lid.

"I'm still practicing, playing music and stuff. I'll talk about it later."

She tried to change the subject.

"It's you Mingfei Jun."

"How about it?"

Eriyi's eyes were bright.

Of course she was referring to the synchronization rate between Lu Mingfei and the Dark Lord. Among the qualified candidates in the military department, Eriyi also had the highest synchronization rate. Especially in the high-intensity mission a while ago, there were some differences. Improved, now his synchronization rate has been stabilized at the 90% threshold. Together with the mecha second only to the Dark Lord, the Karma Red Lotus is almost the strongest combat power on the human side.

This can also be seen from the record. Yehuo Honglian is the mecha that has killed the most large dragon beasts. However, having too brilliant a record is not necessarily a good thing. The dragon beast seems to have some special means to defeat the most threatening dragon beasts. The target is marked. The Cangyuan Giant Sword, whose record is second only to Yehuo Honglian, has been frequently ambushed by dragon beasts recently. There have been several near-death situations. Today, he almost died. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he was next door. The city's guard mecha sensed it and rescued it.

Even so, the qualified person of Cangyuan Giant Sword was also seriously injured and is still being rescued and is not out of danger.

Lu Mingfei and Eliyi chatted for a while about the Cangyuan Giant Sword. They had met the qualified person once. He seemed to be a man of few words, but he was surprisingly reliable when getting along with him. He was probably The kind that is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

He goes on missions more frequently than anyone else, and some people even speculated whether this person has mastered the secret of sleeping in a mecha. In the past, because of the difference in mechas, Ye Huo Honglian was slightly behind Eri Yi in terms of performance, but now Eri After more than a month of rest, Cangyuan Giant Sword has become a veritable number one.

It's just a pity.

"Hopefully he will recover soon."

"Yeah, I hope."

The encounter with the Cang Yuan Giant Sword aroused great attention from the military. They issued notices to several other qualified candidates with brilliant records, ordering them to be extremely careful. When necessary, they could consider suspending the deployment and resting for a period of time.

Every qualified person is an indispensable treasure for mankind.

Will you be marked if you kill a certain number of dragon beasts?

Lu Mingfei thought about the information given by the headquarters, and felt more uneasy. Eryi...

I must be worrying too much.

he said to himself.

Although Eriyi killed a lot of dragon beasts, nothing happened after recuperating for such a long time, so there should be no problem.

Afterwards they talked about mechas for a while.

Eriyi once again taught Lu Mingfei her posture experience, emphasizing the skills of feeling the mecha. Up to now, humans have proven that each mecha is a special life form. Listening to the voice of the mecha is not metaphysics, but It’s a technique that can actually be done.

After saying good night to each other and ending the call, Lu Mingfei lay on the bed and looked at the dark ceiling.

"Listen to...your heart?"

He stretched out his hand and put it in front of his eyes.

"The Dark Lord."

"How do I know what a mecha is thinking!"

He covered his face with his hands.

"never mind."

"Let's try again tomorrow."

But unfortunately, it still failed.

The 77% synchronization rate stuck him.

Maybe the Dark Lord has another way.

But how to do it?

Lu Mingfei had no clue.

Moreover, given his personality, listening to the mecha's inner voice was not suitable for Lu Mingfei.

On this day, he returned from his mission.

The Dark Lord is riddled with scars.

The mecha can restore itself, and humans can also use the technology of ancient civilizations to speed up the process. When Lu Mingfei got off the plane, a group of technical officers immediately surrounded him. A large part of them rushed towards the mecha, and the rest surrounded him. , complete the physical examination in an orderly manner.

"Any questions today, Captain."

The adjutant said to Lu Mingfei.

After half a year of war, Lu Mingfei's military rank had been promoted by two levels.

"The average synchronization rate and peak value are both at 77%, the same as the previous few days."

Lu Mingfei wiped his hair and said dullly.

The adjutant recorded it on his personal brain.

"correct."

Lu Mingfei made a move.

"The density of dragon beasts in the nearby area has dropped a lot. Let's see if there is any news from the Intelligence Department. I have a bad feeling."

"yes."

He frowned, stepped on the ground with his military boots, and headed towards the canteen.

The density of dragon beasts dropped. It was not something he suddenly discovered today. It had been for a while. However, in the past few days, he only thought it was the self-migration of dragon beasts, which was a normal phenomenon. But today, there was too little. It was an obvious abnormality. Lu Mingfei I have retrieved the recent mission logs of the West Lake City Garrison and found no large-scale operations against dragon beasts. So what are these monsters doing?

Human scientists are still debating whether dragon beasts have the ability to think logically. Especially after the Cang Yuan Giant Sword two months ago, the monster transformed into a dragon actually launched an ambush on a specific target. After failing once, it continued again. , scholars saw some abnormalities in the dragon beast's behavior, which is also one of the basis for their judgment that the dragon beast has logical thinking.

However, since the Cang Yuan Giant Sword, no mecha has been ambushed by a dragon beast consciously. The special warning originally issued by the headquarters was also canceled after a month of nothing happening.

Recently, many people are saying that the Cang Yuan Giant Sword at that time was just a coincidence, and the dragon beast was just a monster transformed into a dragon, with no logical thinking ability at all.

Lu Mingfei actually didn't care about this. He was exhausted from being busy with tasks every day. He just heard her mention it a few times when chatting with Eryi and remembered it in his heart.

Speaking of which, although there was no basis for it, he stubbornly believed that it was not a coincidence that the Cangyuan Giant Sword was ambushed several times.

Lu Mingfei didn't know what to say in terms of explanation. After all, it was just his intuition.

Holding the dinner plate, Lu Mingfei picked a corner, sat down, and sent a call request to Eriyi.

Got connected quickly.

The holographic screen shows Eriyi in red combat uniform. Her red hair is tied into a high ponytail. She was originally a well-behaved girl, but now she also looks somewhat dashing and heroic.

Lu Mingfei was surprised by Huiliyi's dress.

"Are you going on a mission today?"

"It's just routine training on the machine."

"Whoa whoa."

Lu Mingfei's heart fell back into his stomach.

The two of them chatted one sentence at a time.

Now their daily video has become a daily habit.

Eriki's recuperation is coming to an end and she can return to the battlefield at any time. The doctor's advice is to undergo two more physical examinations and all indicators pass before going on missions. However, this is an ideal situation. Who knows when an emergency will occur? There is nothing we can do about Eri Yi having to take on the task when the time comes.

After all, they are soldiers.

Without talking much about this topic, Lu Mingfei told a few jokes, which made Eli Yi frown. This era is too bitter, and everyone needs something sweet to balance it out.

"By the way, Eri, where's the piano you promised?"

"Still practicing, still practicing."

Eriki said embarrassedly.

"This is what you promised, don't try to cheat."

Lu Mingfei was eloquent.

"Also, I have a feeling that after listening to your piano music, I will definitely improve my synchronization rate!"

"Liar! Ming Feijun is a big liar!"

"Don't believe it. I'm telling you, my intuition was pretty accurate. Just last time..."

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei regained his energy, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"No kidding, Eri, I feel like this can really happen. Listening to my heart is of no use to me. Look, why don't you just play a tune. I'll have some ideas, and then I'll pass 78%! "

Eriyi was stunned for a while after hearing this.

She was thinking.

"What Mr. Mingfei said seems to make sense..."

"Yes, yes!"

After thinking about it, Eryi nodded solemnly.

"Since it is about improving the synchronization rate, let's try it."

"Wait a moment, Ming Feijun, I'll go get ready."

Eriki turned off the call.

Before Lu Mingfei could say goodbye, he shook his head, this girl.

War is too bitter, so we have to find something sweet to spice it up.

I have wanted to listen to Eriki's piano music for a long time. Putting aside the synchronization rate and other things, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he thought that he would soon see the girl sitting in front of the piano.

He just smiled and went to pick up a quail egg, but when he used force, without any warning, the chopsticks snapped into two pieces.

The jagged fractures are shocking.

Lu Mingfei's heart ached.

The smile froze on his face.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, he just felt panicked and indescribable.

I sat there blankly for a while, and I don’t know how long it took.

Lu Mingfei moved.

He gritted his teeth, his face looking horribly dark.

In almost less than a second, he sent a call request to Eriki.

Lu Mingfei stood up abruptly.

No way!

a few minutes ago.

Eriyi opened the door of the piano room, her face was red, she was going to play for Ming Feijun, she always felt very nervous.

She took a deep breath, comforted herself over and over again, and encouraged herself.

As soon as I sat down in front of the piano, the personal computer's prompt sounded.

Hui Liyi looked solemn.

Urgent tasks have the highest priority. Get on the plane as soon as you receive the news without delay.

Eriki glanced at the piano regretfully.

Ming Feijun's words can only be dealt with next time.

With this thought in mind, she hurried towards the Karma Red Lotus.
