"Remember: bravery, strength, and self-sacrifice are the heroism of our era and the common heroism of mankind."

Garden of Eden, Tang Lan is endorsing.

"Collective heroism, individual heroism, what they have in common -"

Hubbard covered his face with an illustrated firearms manual: "You haven't finished memorizing it yet?"

"That's almost it." Tang Lan closed the book and looked at the ceiling: "Hubbard."

"What's wrong?"

"Do you want to be a hero?"

Hubbard pulled the illustration down a little, revealing his chestnut brown eyes. He also looked at the ceiling. After three seconds, he said: "It doesn't matter."

After another three seconds, he asked again: "What about you?"

Tang Lan said: "I don't know."

Reinforcements from northern bases arrive at Highland Institute.

The heavy weapons were on the plane, and the land colonel commanded the air combat. The rest of the light troops used large gliders to land. They spread out in an orderly manner to clean up the monsters that had attacked the institute.

Hubbard was in a large open space to the right of the institute, with a steep cliff behind it. A bright red triangular sign erected on the edge of the cliff read "Easy to Landslide, No Approaching". The main body of the institute covered his large

Part of the line of sight, after the heavy machine gun kills a small monster, there are no enemies here.

The reason he came here was because he looked up at the sky during the melee just now.

A bloody and chaotic battle was taking place in the sky. A huge monster died and fell to the ground. When he looked up, he saw a black figure in the sky.

No, he is not a human. He has a human body, but behind his back is a pair of huge black wings that were broken in half. He is a alien species.

When he saw it, the figure was also falling downwards, so it only existed in his field of vision for a brief second.

But this brief second left his soul blank.

"Where are you going?" His teammates shouted to him, but he didn't hear it clearly. The voice seemed to come from a very far away place.

Then he rushed towards the place where the man fell like crazy.

——This place is neglected, with vines entangled and waist-high weeds growing wildly. Nothing can be seen on the surface, and there is a cliff behind it.

With a cold gaze, he stepped in holding a heavy machine gun, pushed aside the vines, and searched around in the waist-deep grass.

There seemed to be a hallucinatory gasping sound in his ears. He turned around suddenly, but only saw the grass swaying in the strong wind.

"Is anyone there?" he shouted.

The wheezing seemed to get worse, and there was a noise from the rear right.

He looked there, but his eyes suddenly stopped.

——On the opposite side, one thousand meters away, at the rear left of the institute building.

That place is where the wind power generation tower is located, and several white triangular windmills are spinning crazily in the strong wind.

At this moment, several snow-white tentacles with thorns rolled up the column of the power tower and twisted onto the rotating shaft in the center of the windmill. Those tentacles were thick and strong, and the rotation of two of the power towers had gradually begun.

Stop.

The purpose of the monster was obviously not limited to this. There were thorns and knobs on its tentacles. Hubbard had spent most of his life leading a team in the wild. After experiencing hundreds of battles, he knew that this was a sign of the monster's strength.

The power towers are about to be uprooted.

The core of the melee was the open space in front of the research institute. No one might notice the power tower in the distance - not to mention that the color of the thing was so similar to the power tower.

Of course, the most important reason is - there is no time.

The third power tower stopped rotating.

The tentacles were already trembling slightly from exerting force.

Hubbard was not very clear about the importance of these power generation towers, but he could imagine it. The power supply for the communication equipment and scientific research facilities in the institute - including the devices that relied on the red sea of ​​fire that Anzhe just walked into, all require a lot of

of power supply.

He took off the large hand-held uranium bomb launcher on his back and aimed forward. Few individual soldiers can flexibly use this weapon. It has sufficient firepower, but it is terrifyingly heavy and extremely difficult to aim. The recoil can lift an average person's shoulder.

smash.

Hubbard was well aware of the vital points of tentacle monsters, but the existence of the research institute's building severely hindered his aim, and the vital points were not exposed.

——He stepped back.

All thoughts and decisions were completed within three seconds after seeing the monster. He stepped back, one step, and another.

The wind became louder and louder, and in just a few seconds, he had passed the "No Approaching" sign. He glanced back and saw the endless sky. Looking down again, he was only one step away from the edge of the cliff, and under his feet

The ground was shaking slightly, and there was a click, as if there was the sound of stones rolling down.

It's still a little bit far away from the position where you can kill monsters without damaging buildings and power towers.

In fact, he never wanted to be a hero. But he still took a step back.

There was another sound of loose earth and rocks.

The crosshair of the scope is pointed directly at the vital point.

The launch tube of this model in my hand has sufficient penetration, sufficient firepower, and sufficient range.

"boom--"

The huge recoil blasted him backwards, causing the edge of the cliff to tremble, and the loose rocks collapsed like an avalanche.

The sound of wind rang in his ears, and he leaned back and fell downwards.

His vision was filled with the glorious dawn. The sun jumped out from the side of the mountains, and the dazzling golden light hit his retinas. Just after this fleeting moment, another figure appeared from the top of the cliff and jumped in his direction.

And down.

A few drops of blood fell on Hubbard's cheek.

As if in a dream.

He stretched out his hand——

Tang Lan's hands, which were pale from blood loss, grabbed him.

The shadows were overwhelming, and the bloody wings suddenly spread out. The wind from the mountains blew to the east, and the blood stained the clothes on his chest. He had no strength to flap his wings and fly up, so he just grabbed Hubbard and used the wind to slide down.

It's like the paper plane I folded when I was a kid and missed the mark.

Hubbard looked him in the eye.

Tang Lan's eyebrows were as handsome and cold as before, and there were two scratches on his cheek, which were oozing blood.

Tang Lan also looked at Hubbard, and he laughed.

Hubbard seemed to have many things in his eyes, and he could see it. He wanted to ask him why he was here, what he had experienced, and even more wanted to blame him for why he sacrificed his life and fell off the cliff.

Tang Lan just laughed and squeezed Hubbard's hand tighter - Hubbard responded with the same strength.

The whole world was filled with the sound of howling wind, and they were falling towards an unknown fate, but there was nothing to be afraid of.

"You became a hero for once," Tang Lan said, "I will be a hero for once."

In the distance, mountains stretch.

The morning sun bursts out.
