Why it never ends

Chapter 193 The Sun
The intensive and short hand-to-hand combat made Hesta have no time to stop and think about the reason why she failed to predict the enemy's defense tonight. Between the false and real offense and defense, she began to hesitate whether to forcefully enter the Golden Crow tonight.

Unless she had to, she didn't want to fight to the death with these mercury needles...it wasn't worth it.

It was precisely because of this consideration that she had previously singled out a night to warn all the mercury needles guarding Rishi. Unexpectedly, Avinash immediately understood, and Victoria became more and more frustrated.

She observed the quicksilver needles stationed in the Golden Crow Palace tonight, although she was always far away from the one who fought at a long distance from the main force, there were a few faces here that she was familiar with, even though she had hardly spoken to these people, and He couldn't call out their names, but Hesta was sure that he had met some of these people during several extremely dangerous battles involving chelate tides.

There are a total of ten people here, except for Victoria, there is at least one mercury needle that has not been shown.

Where is this man and what is he doing?
And Victoria... what is she doing now?

After several times of harassment, all the mercury needles returned to the Golden Crow Palace again, and they returned to their original guard formation again. Hesta also fell into a forest not far from the Golden Crow Palace.

Everything is back to square one.

If this continues, there will be no end.

Complex emotions rose in Hesta's heart.

If what Victoria said at Central Hospital tonight is true, fine.

……

"The target is at two o'clock, about 150 meters away from us. It has been dormant for 4 minutes... What should we do now? Just wait like this?"

"How about I lead the team to rush it again?"

There was a faint electronic noise in the headset, and then Victoria's voice sounded, "Everyone, prepare to evacuate."

"...you're back? Where are you?"

"It's also nearby. I just arrived, and something delayed me on the way." Victoria whispered, "Zoe, the place you are standing now is too far from the escape point, and it will be too late to evacuate in a while, you go east now Let's go to Suzie's place."

Zoe protested, "But my side is the best to face the assassin—"

"It should have made up its mind to rush into the building by now, it doesn't matter if you stop it or not."

Zoe sighed unwillingly, and quickly obeyed Victoria's order.

"And Trisha, you leave the basement right now. It seems that we don't need to implement the fourth plan now... You go to Ende's side."

"receive."

"Attention all personnel, within 30 seconds, make sure you have reached your respective escape points. I don't want to see anyone injured or killed by accident."

"receive."

……

Victoria was lurking in the forest farther away. She couldn't see the assassin at the moment, but she could see the little red dot that belonged to it on the electronic map.

Victoria's mood at the moment is also very complicated.

During several short fights, she felt that the assassin always seemed to have a subtle brotherhood towards the mercury needles.

Although the assassin showed inhuman cruelty when dealing with Hoffman and others, he obviously showed the greatest restraint in the face of the pursuit of the mercury needle.

This extremely difficult opponent has almost never countered Mercury Needle's attack head-on-except for the time of Avinash, the assassin seems to be used to dodge, or to make everyone who gets in the way humiliated in a mocking way.

This stark difference has already caused Victoria to exclude her from the "chelate".

Of course this person cannot be a chelate.

But...she can't be Mercury Needle, there is no such character in Mercury Needle, Victoria is sure.

If she didn't meet in this way, she really wanted to go up to this person and ask her face to face: Who are you?Where are you fromWhere are you going?
I don't know what answer the face behind the mask will give.

From the earphones came the replies from the companions that they were in their respective positions. They had all arrived at the back of the Golden Crow Palace. When the assassin came towards them, they would leave here as quickly as possible.

Everyone took off their earphones, fixed their eyes on the little red dot on the screen that belonged to the assassin, and got ready to flee.

The night became quiet again, only the wind whistling——

"It's now!"

The little red dot started to move, and all the mercury needles were ejected from the roof of the Golden Crow Palace in the same direction like arrows leaving the string. Everyone showed their fastest speed——

A loud bang, deafening.

It erupted suddenly, and this violent explosion quickly solidified all the souls like the wind, and all the houses, wooden sheds, and abandoned posthouses in the field... all quickly collapsed under the huge shock wave.

Thick black smoke rose from the ground and gradually floated to a height of more than ten meters. The air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.

The explosion directly ignited the buildings and firewood within one kilometer, and the fiery flame engulfed everything behind them, making the entire Golden Crow Palace dazzling, like a real sun.

After arriving in a safe area several kilometers away, everyone’s first reaction was to look for the assassin on the screen—whether it was a chelate or themselves, everyone had a common weakness:

unable to withstand high temperatures
At the temperature of 2947°C at the center of the explosion, no one could survive.

On the map, the activity coordinates belonging to the assassin had disappeared, and its last location stayed in the Golden Crow Palace.

In a kind of joy of surviving after a catastrophe, the mercury needles straightly fell back and collapsed on the ground. They were all so exhausted that they didn't bother to high-five each other.

Looking at the raging fire and thick smoke in the Golden Crow Palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the distance, dawn has appeared on the horizon.

All this should be over.

……

In the early morning, as investigations on the follow-up battlefield continued, another event beyond everyone's expectations happened: a large-scale circuit breakdown occurred in Tanyi City, and all communications were cut off.

At first, the military thought it was an electronic bombardment from an unknown source, but then they received an explanation from the AHgAs headquarters about the actions of Victoria’s team in the Golden Crow Palace last night—this is the planned combat behavior of the Mercury Needles, so there is no need to make a fuss .

In addition, the bombs used at the scene did not contain electromagnetic bombs, so it is impossible to cause electric strikes, and there must be other reasons for the power outage.

The staff of the city hall was dispatched urgently and went directly to various blocks under the condition of communication isolation, informing the residents that the explosion last night came from the normal activities of AHgAs and had nothing to do with the power outage. The cause of the power outage is still under investigation. Tan Yi is safe and there is no was attacked.

Tan Yi was indeed safe.

The large amount of woods near the Golden Crow Palace offset most of the impact well. The explosion itself did not cause actual damage to the urban area of ​​Tanyi, and the residents around the Keliye Farm had been evacuated by AHgAs long ago... No matter how you look at it, this It was a beautiful fight.

Simply, neatly, one move is fatal.
