The soldier's fear was always frozen on his face, which brought unparalleled picture impact to other companions. Except for Rankine, the remaining three soldiers screamed and turned around and ran away.
Rankine's danger level rose to the peak in an instant!
"Don't run..."
Langken just started warning, suddenly three thorns came in the dark, passing through the throat of the three soldiers with unparalleled accuracy. The sharp vines bring out a fluffy blood flower and take away three lives at the same time!
When the vines retracted, the darkness returned to silence, and only Rankine's roaring breath sounded.
After three rapid ups and downs in his chest, Rankine roared, quickly changed into a magazine and shot again and again in the dark.
The muzzle of the gun kept spewing out flames, but this time, there was no sound of hitting the metal. A vine swam like a snake in the dark. Without Rankine's awareness, it rolled his ankle and waved it hard. Suddenly, Langken, who was out of balance, was thrown to the abandoned warehouse next to him by vines.
Rankine bumped into the wall, and the strength of the impact made him look like Venus. As he tried to regain his consciousness, he saw two feet.
Looking up again, it was a thin man in a loose windbreaker. A cruel smile hung on the man's face, and behind him, there were seven or eight thorns and vines swinging irregularly like the tentacles of an octopus.
Rankine struggled to get the pistol that fell to one side, but one of the vines behind the man touched it first. With a gentle wave from the vine, the pistol slipped into the darkness in a circle. Then the vine rolled up to Rankine. Rankine suddenly bounced up, followed his hands and feet to support the ground at the same time, and let him fall to the man's left like lightning.
The vine rolled up empty. The man with an unexpected expression looked at longken and said, "it seems that you don't want to die."
"Nonsense, who would think his life is long?" longken replied.
"Well, maybe we can make a deal." he bowed to Rankine like a gentleman and said, "my name is gunabel. It's a pleasure to meet your excellency. Well, as long as you answer me a question, I can't kill you."
Rankine was livid and didn't answer. He clenched his hands and trembled gently. He couldn't see whether he was nervous or afraid.
Gunabel took all this in his eyes and said with a smile, "I want to ask you about a man, a soldier named zero. Tell me where he is, and the reward is your life."
Rankine showed an unexpected expression and said, "so you want to change the trouble. I've seen that guy unhappy. It's easy to tell you where he is."
"Oh, what's the answer?"
"Well, the zero guy is..."
Seeing that he was about to find out the whereabouts of zero, gunabel couldn't help but show an expression of attentive listening. Although he knew that zero was in the base, the underground base of Cossacks was too big. If gunabel doesn't know the specific trend of zero, it's not easy to find him in a short time. Now that he was finally about to hear his exact news, gunabel was not only slightly happy.
So he didn't find that the warehouse buildings on both sides of him shook gently at this time.
"Where is he?" pursued cournabel.
"He's right behind you!" Rankine shouted with a shocked expression.
Gunabel was also startled and turned quickly, but there was no figure behind him. Just when he found himself fooled, he was about to get angry, but the warehouses on both sides suddenly made an earth shaking noise and fell down towards him. Things came so quickly that gunabel could only scream and watch himself drowned in the shadow. At the moment when he was submerged by the stone flow, he felt the light power of earth elements left on the warehouse building.
It was Rankine's ability to vibrate elements that created this result. Just now he clenched his fist and shook his whole body. But it was his effort to condense the earth elements. Now Langken gasped and said with a smile: "I don't like zero, and I don't like being threatened!"
Looking at gunabel, which was crushed by a mountain like ruins, Rankine spit in his direction and walked towards the dark in the direction of his pistol. But when Rankine picked up his weapon, there was a click behind him.
This is the sound of a gravel falling to the ground, followed by the second and third
Finally, with a loud bang, hundreds of black shadows stabbed out of the stones in the huge dust and smoke. Then spread around like flowers in full bloom, and finally stick to the ground. These shadows are the thorns and vines of gunabel, which suddenly rise when they plunge into the ground. Immediately, countless rubble were jacked up and rolled down to both sides. Finally, the vines propped up gunabel and let him rise slowly from the ruins.
Gunabel's face was so bad that he didn't expect to be plotted by a mouse. He looked at Rankine and said in a cold and heartless voice, "do you choose to commit suicide or are you going to let me do it myself?"
Rankine smiled bitterly.
The element shock just now had consumed his last strength, and there was the last bullet left in his pistol.
No matter how you look at it, this bullet is for yourself.
With a wry smile, he raised his pistol and moved it to his forehead. Langken murmured, "suicide..."
Suddenly, his eyes became sharp.
"Kill your shit!"
Rankine turned the muzzle of his gun towards gunabel's chest. He was about to press the trigger to declare his unyielding. But suddenly the whole body was shocked, but there was a vine that stabbed out of the ground behind Rankine, pierced the back of Rankine's head, and stabbed it out directly at the center of his brow.
The vine suddenly retracted, and the unsupported body immediately fell to the ground. The vine sank into the metal ground and finally appeared at gunabel's feet and retracted into his body.
Gunabel fell to the ground and hundreds of vines supporting his body retracted into his clothes. He looked coldly at Rankine's body, then turned around and left.
When the thin man disappeared at the entrance to the third floor base, the area became quiet again. Both the murderous spirit released by gunabel and the last elemental shock launched by Rankine warn the wandering corpses nearby that inhuman fighting is going on here. But soon, footsteps broke the silence of the base again.
Anthony and his party came to the place where the blaster team was slaughtered by gunabel.
Although they were competitors, they could not help but sigh when they saw that five people in a line, including Rankine, were killed. At Anthony's instigation, they collected the bodies of the blaster team and piled them together.
Anthony himself went to longken's body. The cruel captain sighed for some reason, and then picked up longken's pistol. There was also a bullet in the pistol that Rankine didn't have time to shoot out. Anthony gently withdrew the bullet and then put the pistol on Rankine.
"Captain?" Luca looked at Anthony and asked, "what should I do?"
"Cremate it," Anthony whispered. "Although Rankine is a fool, he finally died like a man. He deserves the least respect and can't make the corpse food for the living body after death. So cremate them."
Anthony looked up at Luca and said, "it's said that the real warriors can be led to heaven. I hope longken can be reborn in the fire!"
With that, Anthony turned and left. Looking at the captain's background, Luca felt that he seemed to have some subtle changes due to Rankine's death.
He was not idle and took out a piece of solid fuel from his carrying equipment that was originally used for marching. Luca crushed it and sprinkled it on the bodies of the blaster team. Then he looked at OLAM, who nodded and took out a lighter from his body.
OLAM's thumb rubbed the pulley, the spark aroused by the flint fell into the fuel liquid, and immediately a flame rose from the lighter. OLAM looked solemn and gently threw the lighter onto the corpse.
In the dark, the lighter rotates, leaving a circle of fire in the space. When it landed on the body, it instantly ignited the fixed fuel. With a bang, a blue and white flame suddenly rose.
The high temperature released in the flame made the hair of all the people nearby curl slightly, but no one was willing to leave. They just watched the bodies of Rankine and other team members gradually melt in the thousand degree high temperature flame released by solid combustion. Yes, not only Anthony, but also the team members including Luca thought Rankine was not smart. Behind this man, although his uncle as a congressman is supporting him, Rankine's talent is limited, and his potential and achievements are almost predictable.
But this man, branded as a fool and a reckless man, broke out with great courage at the last time of his life. Rankine died, but left as a warrior who was not afraid of strong enemies. Therefore, he deserves respect.
Looking at the body in the fire, everyone hoped that it was also their destination. Asgat's soldiers, rather than want them to die in silence, they would rather choose vigorous war death!
As the flame died out, Anthony's voice interrupted their thoughts.
"Let's go, Rankine. He can stop here, but we can't!"
Anthony was the first to walk in the direction of the third floor entrance. The others bowed to the dead in the fire and chased after Anthony. Luca walked quickly to the captain and asked, "what shall we do next?"
"Of course, try to complete the task!" Anthony's mouth pulled out a smile: "you should hear it, too. That man has to make change for trouble. In this way, the situation is better for us."
"But that man killed Rankine and them. I think he is a common enemy!" Luca stressed.
Anthony stopped and said coldly, "the enemy of the enemy is a friend, or do you think zero is our friend?"
Luca closed his mouth. Anthony said it. Without looking at his best friend, he went straight ahead. Looking at the figure, Luca shook his head.
It was an illusion just now. Luca whispered in her heart.
