Hope Breaks in Despair Chapter 10

Ethan Xiao spent three full days to finally complete the repair work. He looked at the rows of shining weapons on the display shelf, and felt extremely proud! He could finally continue his vacation, and after the vacation, he would follow a group of students to the No. 14 base.

What he wanted most at this moment was something that could make him forget everything he had experienced. He remembered a very old book in the library system, called. This was Ethan Xiao's favorite book when he was a child. Ethan Xiao's father was an unknown oceanographer. After humans entered Shire, the study of the ocean had almost no meaning. But when Ethan Xiao was young, when he couldn't sleep, his father would lie beside him and describe the strange marine creatures in a tone full of yearning.

Ethan Xiao was always fascinated by the book and fell asleep with fantasies about the ocean. After his father passed away, Ethan Xiao entered the Central Academy of Sciences. When he first found the book in the terminal of the library, he was deeply attracted by it.

Since Base No. 2 also has ongoing research projects, there should be a library database here. I hope that information about this book can be found in the database.

After putting on the terminal connection device, Ethan Xiao was very lucky to find the book. His mood calmed down as the information poured into his mind.

It was as if another world was unfolding before his eyes, detached from the comfort of reality, allowing his fantasy to fly unrealistically. Gradually, a feeling of drowsiness came over him, Ethan Xiao's eyes slowly drooped, and his thoughts rose and fell in the sea.

A pair of hands silently reached into the sea and grabbed him by the waist, strong and powerful, domineering and unyielding. Ethan Xiao's heartbeat suddenly tightened, his back pressed against the solid chest, and when he turned around and met the other's deep eyes, all his fears were almost instantly dissipated, and awe spread.

"Colonel Burton...why are you..."here?

Before he could finish his words, the other person's lips collided with his, and the tip of his tongue pried open Ethan Xiao's lips and forcibly touched his upper jaw. When Ethan Xiao subconsciously pushed it away, the other person slid across the side of his tongue, like gentle water flowing over smooth pebbles. Before he could savor it, the other person immediately wrapped his tongue up, stirring it violently, invading all the softness in his mouth, K!ssing him without reservation, so crazy that it was unbelievable. The more Ethan Xiao struggled, the more overwhelming the other person's K!ss became and he could not refuse it. A strong sense of oppression came over him, and Ethan Xiao was forced to raise his chin to bear everything.

This is Lucas Hein's K!ss, which compresses the world and eliminates all distance.

His slender and powerful fingers reached into Ethan Xiao's hair and clamped him tightly against him, crushing his bones with such force.

Ethan Xiao opened his eyes wide, and all he saw was the other person's drooping eyelids. His legs were folded and placed on the other person's waist. The palm slid down along the back of his head, pressed along Ethan Xiao's back, and came to a frightening gap, kneading it vigorously. The premonition of being possessed made Ethan Xiao terrified.

Subconsciously resisting, Ethan Xiao stretched out his hands to push the other person's shoulders, but was unable to move at all.

His lips finally left, and Ethan Xiao seemed to see a ray of light in the infinite darkness.

But the other party's hold on him did not loosen at all.

Ethan Xiao looked into the other person's eyes, constantly searching for the answer in that unfathomable abyss.

"Why..."

The other person held his face with his fingers, and stroked Ethan Xiao's cheek slowly and forcefully with his fingertips, as if confirming something.

The moment Hai Yin let go of Ethan Xiao, he saw a crack in that forever unshakable gaze.

For the first time, Ethan Xiao felt the urge to hope that everything would fall apart.

Ethan Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and took a breath. Sweat covered his back. He looked down at his legs and saw that they were wet.

"Oh---No way!"

Ethan Xiao was about to fall off the bed when he realized that he was still wearing the terminal! He quickly took off his helmet and rushed into the bathroom.

Water rushed down from above his head, and Ethan Xiao closed his eyes.

He is crazy... to have such a dream! That is Lucas Hein! You are actually in a dream...

Oh my God! If Hai Yin knew about this, Ethan Xiao had no doubt that she would crush his bones one by one!

As the water flowed over his back and sank into the gap, filling up the depression and filling everything, Ethan Xiao's heart beat wildly uncontrollably.

The strength of Haiyin's K!ss and even the touch of his fingers in the dream were so real that Ethan Xiao collapsed.

He didn't know why he had such a dream... Was it because he had accidentally rubbed the other person's lips that he had such fantasies?

Lucas Hein was indeed the most perfect face you had ever seen, but he was definitely not an object of fantasy.

After turning off the water, Ethan Xiao walked out of the bathroom. Fortunately, he was on vacation and could sleep all day tomorrow...

Ethan Xiao returned to bed and fell asleep hugging the quilt.

I really want to go to a place where there are no zombies and no Lucas Hein...

While he was half asleep, someone pulled him out of bed. When he opened his eyes, Ethan Xiao was shocked because Aaron's exaggerated smile was really scary.

"Hey, good morning rookie!"

"Good... morning..."

How did this guy appear in his room?

He...what does he want to do?

Wasn't cracking his shoulder enough to eliminate Lucas Hein's hatred for him, so why did Aaron punish him instead?

"Pack your things and get ready for the mission!"

"What mission? I'm on vacation!"

"Vacation is cancelled." Aaron's face darkened. "Why, you don't want to?"

Ethan Xiao swallowed his saliva and said, "I'd better check with my superiors..."

How could a B-level student like him have any mission? And a mission with the special mission force?

As soon as he turned on the communicator, a mission message popped up.

The mission time is today, the location is an abandoned city outside the base, and the mission goal is to eliminate the Tide Organization hidden in the city and rescue the hostages.

The danger level is A, which means there is a possibility of death at any time.

"No...No way!"

Ethan Xiao showed a collapsed expression.

"What will or won't?"

Aaron threw a backpack into Ethan Xiao's arms.

"What's this?"

"bomb."

"ha?"

Before he could react, Ethan Xiao was dragged out of the room.

In the corridor, Zoe, fully equipped, leaned against the wall and smiled at Ethan Xiao soothingly, her mouth saying "don't worry".

Next to Zoe was Maya, who was pulling and playing with some kind of silk thread. Ethan Xiao had seen this kind of silk thread in the repair room. Its diameter was only a few microns, but it could cut iron like mud. However, it was not easy to control this kind of silk thread. It required extremely high fighting skills, otherwise he would be hurt by this weapon. Being able to use this kind of silk thread as a weapon, Maya's combat ability was first-rate in the special mission force. No wonder Aaron, the big guy, was only a second lieutenant, while Maya was already a lieutenant.

At this moment, Maya raised the corners of her lips and blinked at Ethan Xiao. Judging from her lip shape, she should have said "Baby, did you miss me?"

Suddenly a chill spread throughout his body and Ethan Xiao quickly turned his head away. There were six other special forces soldiers in the passage. Some were wiping their blades, and some were sorting their equipment. This scale had mobilized an entire special mission team, and the mission was by no means simple.

The sound of neat footsteps rang out, and when Lucas Hein brushed past Ethan Xiao, his eyebrows were lowered with a determination as strong as a mountain, which almost made Ethan Xiao lose his balance. The scene from last night's dream flashed through his mind again. Ethan Xiao was afraid that Hein would notice anything, so he quickly looked in the direction of Zoe.

If Haiyin knew what kind of dream you had, you would be dead! And your death would be extremely miserable!

"Set off."

Ethan Xiao was holding a backpack. The special forces were walking so fast that Ethan Xiao almost had to run to keep up with them. Before he reached the aircraft, Ethan Xiao was already sweating.

According to his military rank, Maya should have followed behind Hai Yin, but he chose to follow Ethan Xiao slowly.

"Baby, let me take you away." Maya stretched out her arm and was about to touch Ethan Xiao's waist.

"No need! The bomb will explode!" Ethan Xiao quickly hid aside, but Maya still came closer.

"Aaron, he's too slow." Hein didn't look back, but Aaron understood what Hein meant tacitly.

Aaron turned back from the front of the queue, carried Ethan Xiao onto his shoulders, and reached the front of the queue in two or three steps.

"Hey! Even if I have to carry him, I should be the one carrying him!" Maya chased after him.

Aaron made a disdainful gesture towards him.

"Hey, Boss! Is this guy going to get off the aircraft too?"

Ethan Xiao immediately prayed in his heart, don't let him go down. Two hundred years ago, cities were the most densely populated and most seriously infected places. To this day, more than two-thirds of the world's zombies are still concentrated in urban areas.

"of course yes."

Haiyin's words were like a huge stone weighing on Ethan Xiao's heart.

He will die this time! He will definitely die!

Ethan Xiao was thrown onto the aircraft, and they left the base through the flight channel and rushed towards the bright sun.

"Hey! Ethan Xiao! Believe me, this will be a very interesting journey." Zoe and Ethan Xiao sat face to face, while Maya was transferred to the driver's seat and lost the opportunity to harass Ethan Xiao.

When special missions forces say "fun", they usually mean thrilling!

Only at this time did Ethan Xiao calm down and face the facts.

"Hey, why do you want me to follow you?" Ethan Xiao asked in a low voice.

"Because you are the only one left!" Aaron stretched out his arm and put it on Ethan Xiao's shoulder, almost crushing him.

"What do you mean by 'because you're the only one'? I'm just a trainee! Do you understand what a reserve technical soldier is? You dragged me here and I'll only be a burden!"

Aaron shrugged his shoulders. "Because last time, all the guys in the same aircraft as you died. The technical soldiers thought we would abandon them on the battlefield at will. Lieutenant Colonel Raven also said that he was worried about his men coming out with us, so..."

"So what?"

"So I have no choice but to choose you! You are so capable! You can open the door of the safe and unlock the device that stores uranium raw materials! I believe that detonating the bomb this time will not be difficult for you!"

"Detonate...detonate the bomb..."

Usually, cold weapons are used to fight zombies, because heat sources can enhance their ability to absorb energy. However, the members of the Tide Organization are humans, and bombs are an effective means to deal with them.

"Why not just launch a missile and hit the target!"

"Because they have hostages."

"Then rescue the hostages before launching the missiles!" Ethan Xiao thought to himself how outrageous these guys' battle plan was!

Aaron's face darkened, and two seconds later he couldn't help laughing. "Rookie, you're so cute! I bet with Zoe that you really would be stupid enough to think we asked you to plant a bomb! We don't need technicians to do that kind of thing, we can do it ourselves!"

The veins on Ethan Xiao's forehead bulged. "Then what do you want me to do?"

"The Tide Surging Organization has built a small base using equipment from two hundred years ago. They have blocked all wireless signals and formed an internal network. Most of our technical soldiers are used to operating terminal systems to process data, but they don't know what to do with this backward technology. Based on your performance at the nuclear power plant last time, the colonel believes that you are more capable of this mission than those technical soldiers who rely too much on terminals. How should I put it? It seems that you are good at retro things?"

"What? Which colonel?"

Zoe and Aaron both pointed toward the cockpit.

There was only one colonel in the cockpit - Lucas Hein.

"Do you think the colonel hates you?" Zoe asked with a smile.
