Chapter 571: Go in!

Half a month later, North Freedom State.

At the border between the Maple Leaf Country and the Freedom Nation, teams of soldiers wearing pitch-black armor and solemn expressions were staring blankly ahead.

Their moods were heavy, like warriors about to face death with generosity.

Not long ago, the high-level officials of Long Guo had finally agreed to Song Qi’s plan.

No matter how difficult this plan was, it was currently the best way to break the current passive situation...

At the border line.

It was as if there was a huge barrier separating two worlds.

One side was pink, the other transparent.

One side was eerie, the other normal.

But every Long Guo soldier who arrived here had already made sufficient psychological preparations for what they were about to face!

To sacrifice one's life for the country's disaster, viewing death as returning home!

Since they were soldiers of Long Guo, they had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting their home and country!

This was the dignity and glory of being a soldier!

At first, the high-level officials of Long Guo were worried that the special forces soldiers sent to the Freedom Nation would feel dissatisfied and cause a mutiny.

But no one expected that when the soldiers heard the news, not only were they not afraid, but they rushed to sign up!

As if they were afraid of missing this opportunity!

As for the equipment to resist the Attendant Civilization’s molecular weapons, Song Qi had also finished R&D early.

And applied it completely to the armor; it was a layer of pitch-black liquid film, but with extremely high density, capable of resisting even molecular-level intrusion.

Thereby acting to resist molecular weapons!

And this liquid film had excellent defensive performance; applied to the armor, it could definitely withstand the bombardment of a nuclear bomb!

In addition, Song Qi had also upgraded and modified the original armor.

Replacing the kinetic energy core from the initial nuclear fusion with psionic energy!

Other parts had also been upgraded and modified!

As a result, the power of the armor had increased by more than a hundred times compared to before!

The soldiers wearing it were all as fierce as human-shaped Gundams...

At this very moment.

In a certain corner, Song Qi was staring blankly at the red string tied to his hand.

The red string was what Dilraba had asked him to tie. ===== CHAPTER 1207 =====

Inside it were her strands of hair; it was said that for a man going out, tying his lover’s hair on his wrist could ward off evil spirits and keep him safe.

Song Qi had always disdained such feudal superstition, but he really couldn't refuse that girl Dilraba.

Plus, since it was Dilraba’s intention, Song Qi ultimately accepted the red string and tied it to his right wrist.

Mentioning Dilraba, a strange smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Song Qi’s mouth.

On their wedding night, that girl Dilraba had a coy expression, making Song Qi think he had met a saintess.

Who knew...

She was a saintess, but from the Joyous Sect...

The first few times were fine; that girl might have been a bit restrained because it was her first time and it hurt.

Later on, Dilraba got a taste of it, and the situation underwent a earth-shaking change...

If it weren't for Song Qi breaking the genetic lock and his physical fitness being amazingly strengthened, with his previous self, he might have really been drained of his essence...

However, in this period of life-and-death confrontation, Song Qi hadn't fallen behind either.

Except for some weak legs, there were no aftereffects at all!

Dilraba, on the other hand, had her knees worn raw, looking exceptionally pitiful... (Ahem, scenes unsuitable for children, 23,045 words omitted here...)

Just as Song Qi was stroking the red string on his wrist and smiling foolishly, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Major General Song, are you really prepared to enter the Freedom Nation?"

"How about... you reconsider!"

"Even if you improved the equipment to protect us from molecular weapon attacks, the interior of the Freedom Nation is truly too eerie..."

"If it really doesn't work, you can act with our squad; having more people means more support, which is better than fighting alone!"

The person speaking could be considered an old acquaintance of Song Qi, none other than Senior Colonel Wu Di.

According to the combat mission arranged by the higher-ups, this military operation involved a total of 10,000 Long Guo soldiers, each one the elite of the elite!

These soldiers were divided into four routes, moving toward the four directions of the 18th District of the Freedom Nation.

The goal was to lift the ley line barrier of the 18th District.

However, because of the rampant eeriness in the Freedom Nation, this operation didn't just send four teams of 2,500 people each.

Instead, they were broken down into countless combat squads!

Exploring forward while looking out for each other!

However, Song Qi’s existence was an exception.

Song Qi did not belong to any squad but chose to go to the Freedom Nation alone!

How could this not make Wu Di full of worry?

Looking at Wu Di in front of him, Song Qi shook his head gently.

"I have already considered it."

"What I am going to do next is many times more difficult than your mission; even if a squad followed me, they would just be a burden..."

"And would end up implicating others' lives."

Song Qi said softly.

He would do this, certainly not to show off, but as a result of careful deliberation.

One cannot put all their eggs in one basket.

What if Long Guo’s Plan A failed?

What if the existence of the Attendant Civilization had already escaped from the 18th Institute and hidden elsewhere?

These accidents all had to be in Song Qi’s considerations.

Because the lives of hundreds of millions of creatures on the Blue Planet could not afford so many accidents.

Song Qi entering the Freedom Nation was to find the answer behind the eeriness.

To nip all accidents in the cradle!

Looking at Song Qi’s firm gaze, Wu Di let out a long sigh and ultimately shook his head.

Even the Grand Leader hadn't been able to persuade Major General Song.

Let alone him, a mere Senior Colonel.

Wu Di reached out and patted Song Qi’s shoulder gently.

"Then Major General Song, take care..."

"I am going to lead the team in!"

"Hopefully, we can meet again..."

After speaking, Wu Di turned and left.

Song Qi watched Wu Di’s retreating back, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.

After this parting, could they really meet again?

Song Qi himself didn't know; when he and Wu Di made this decision, they probably hadn't thought about returning alive from the Freedom Nation...

For some reason, a touch of bitterness welled up in Song Qi’s heart.

He reached out again and gently stroked the red string on his wrist.

After a long time.

Song Qi raised his eyes and looked toward the horizon.

The entire Freedom Nation was a world of pink.

The blood clouds in the sky were so thick they seemed like a boiling sea of blood.

Exuding an astonishing smell of blood.

Even while in the Maple Leaf Country, with Song Qi’s keen five senses, he could smell it clearly.

Song Qi shook his head, casting aside the wild thoughts in his mind.

"No more waiting!"

"Go in!"

"..."

After speaking, Song Qi didn't look back and walked slowly toward that pink world... ===== CHAPTER 1208 =====
