Horizon Before Sunrise Chapter 6

Although it was the third floor, it only took a moment to land on the ground.

Amid the chaos, something was thrown from the air, bringing with it a tingling and tearing sensation that was hard to tell whether it was static electricity or something else, as if someone had been whipped from the air.

When his back touched the ground, Asher subconsciously protected his head. But the irresistible impact still shook his brain, and there was a moment of blankness.

"I caught you." A voice suddenly hit his ears.

"Who?!" Asher rolled sideways due to inertia, half-knelt on the ground, and quickly glanced around.

They landed in the front yard, and there was no one around him except the mops rolling around.

"Who is that! What was that explosion just now? I think I was hit by something!" Mop almost fell into the corner of the yard, his back against the wall, hugging the little mop tightly and shrinking in the shadow.

"Someone just said something to me." Asher also moved to the wall.

"Me? I've been screaming the whole time!" Mop looked around in doubt and replied casually.

Truth frowned. "Not you."

The voice seemed unclear in the chaos, but it should be that of a young boy. I had never heard it before, but it sounded indescribably familiar.

Before he could think about it, the sound of whistling wind came from the sky again.

"Oh my God-------" Mop looked up in amazement.

Then three huge silver ropes were swung down from the sky. Every time the ropes passed through every inch of air, there was a slight crackling sound, which made people's hair stand on end.

But in a blink of an eye, the mop reacted and the hairs on his body stood on end not because of simple panic or fear, but because of static electricity.

They watched helplessly as the grappling rope crashed to the ground, causing the entire planet to vibrate continuously. The vibration was so great that they could not sit still and almost became ball bearings on the disc.

The grab line rolled accurately along the edge of the debris and wrapped under the chassis.

The sharp tips of the metal grappling ropes hooked on rocks and cliffs, and the impact sounds were sharp and piercing.

The entire planet fragment was firmly held by these three ropes.

The mop was thrown against the wall several times in the irresistible vibration, and he shouted with a bruised face and nose: "What the hell is this!!!"

There was too much noise, and he had to roar to be heard by Asher.

"Is it that terrorist called Yang who finally couldn't stand you and started a riot!!!"

"Shut up!" said Truth.

As soon as the words fell, a huge silver object slowly emerged from the starry sky. It was made up of several flat circles of different sizes, and at first glance, it looked like a group of steel spiders.

The three grappling ropes were hanging from the "iron spider".

The moment it appeared, Chus's face changed, "Space prison?"

Mop: "What!!!! Why did the Space Prison blow us up?!"

This thing, which is larger than the entire black cedar forest, is none other than the space prison used to exile dangerous elements. It is where Miles was supposed to be staying.

Everyone on the planet knows about the space prison and what it means, but no one has ever looked up at it from such an angle under such circumstances.

Who the hell could have thought that the Devil's Concentration Camp would one day float over one's head? !

But Chus knew this behemoth too well------

The three grappling ropes do not look thick, but they are surprisingly strong. After all, the discs that make up the space prison are connected by this material. They have been pulled across the vast interstellar space for hundreds of years, and the wear rate is less than 17%.

For something like this, it would be easy to withstand this piece of planetary debris.

Moreover, the claw at the top of the grappling rope is hollow, and the internal structure is sophisticated and complex, which can build a strong energy field at the moment of successfully grabbing the target.

Buzz------

A thrilling sound came from the bottom of the planet's debris field. An energy field with huge repulsive force has taken shape, pushing the fragments upward with an irresistible momentum and the pull of the grappling rope.

At that moment, Asher and others felt extremely uncomfortable.

Under the huge shock, the courtyard wall that had been abandoned for fifty years finally collapsed into a pile. The flying dust neither dispersed nor fell to the ground, but flew upwards. The ruins of the wall creaked and trembled.

"I feel terrible! It's like someone is pulling me up by my hair!" Mop yelled, "How can we escape?!"

"I'm afraid not------" Asher said this, but he had no intention of sitting still and waiting for death.

He made way for a cloud of dust, frowned and coughed, then looked around hastily in the chaos.

Oh, and there's also a portion for Saer!

"This way!" Asher shouted to Mop, and simply climbed over the collapsed wall and rushed towards the edge.

At that moment, he was so flustered that he could hardly figure out how many times he pushed the mop and how many times he was pulled by others. He didn't even see who was pulling him, and he jumped over the crack and landed on another piece of ground.

"Lend me your rocket launcher------" a deep voice sounded in my ears.

However, before the other party could finish speaking, Truss had already reflexively set up his R-72 and said, "Shut up!"

After he finished cursing, he realized that the person who wanted to borrow the rocket launcher was Miles.

But at that moment, his hands were faster than his brain, and the moment he reacted, the muzzle of the gun had already swept in one direction.

The latest model of the R-72 rocket launcher has an amazing bombardment effect and a material separation function. The most expensive one can fire ten rounds in a row.

Boom boom boom------

The explosions were earth-shaking, one after another, and in the blink of an eye all nine shots were fired.

The mop that fell to the ground had not yet recovered before it was blown into a shower of urine by the earth-shaking impact.

He suspected that Asher didn't even have time to aim in that short time. However, the artillery fire blasted into a standard dotted line, and the planet fragments broke apart again, and a piece fell off along that dotted line.

On the other side of the dotted line was a whole piece of land hooked by the space prison's grappling rope, with a large black cedar forest and the villa they had just stayed in. On this side of the dotted line was the dragon pillar that was still emitting blue light.

The land fragments carrying the dragon pillar broke free from the grasp and fell back, hitting the corner where they were standing in the process, and barely pieced together into slightly larger fragments.

But it is only "big" in a relative sense.

Rounding off, it seems to be no more than 40 square meters.

And these figures, some standing and some lying, stood silently on this piece of debris, like a group of bighead whales on an isolated island.

Chus held the empty rocket launcher, looked up at the land captured by the space prison, and said expressionlessly: "My house, and my men."

After saying that, he lowered his eyes and looked around...

How wonderful it is! In this tiny place, there is the chief of the security building himself, the terrorist Miles, and a pair of mops that are buy-one-get-one-free, all living in harmony and joy.

Commander Chu, who had lost both his property and his people, was not in a good mood. He turned his gaze and stared at Miles, raised his hand and pointed at the space prison that suddenly attacked from above, and said, "Shouldn't you explain yourself?"

******

Sae raised his head, poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue, and squinted at the bottom of the giant. After a moment, he looked at Chus across from him, raised his hand lazily to touch his brow, and saluted in the most rogue way possible.

He said in a drawn-out tone: "Sir, the space prison seems to be under your control. Did you get confused while sleeping?"

Asher: "......"Bullshit.

Of course he wasn't asleep!

It was precisely because he was supposed to be in charge of the space prison that he could detect the problem in an instant - Miles had escaped, and the prison should be hunting him all over the universe. The controller in his hand had not been destroyed yet, and the space prison could accurately locate him to the centimeter level, and even within the radiation range of the controller, it could directly put him into physiological shock.

But now, the space prison warps over, and the grappling rope it drops is not aimed at Saer. Under normal circumstances, such a mistake would be enough to make the prison management resign collectively.

What's more problematic is that Chus's communicator was not turned off, and his channel was ranked first in the prison's certification list.

During the attack, his position would be marked in red on the prison's star map screen. Even if the managers were blind, they would not allow the capture rope to go to their immediate superior.

That's definitely a rebellion.

Combining these anomalies, Chus had to suspect that it was Saer who was behind it.

"Don't look at me with those pretty eyes, dear." Sauer raised his hands. "I really can't explain it."

"If I get shot in the head one day, maybe I'll choose to trust you for once." Asher replied without any politeness.

Sae laughed and said, "We have known each other long enough to raise a short-legged kid to adulthood, and you are still so ruthless. I am very sad."

You're sad as hell.

Asher opened his mouth and replied: "Even if I grow up to raise the little cub to ashes, I will still do this."

Mop: "......" What the hell kind of metaphor is this? !

"Friendly reminder, if you have time to be mean to me, why not take a closer look at your house and your subordinates?" Sae still kept his hands raised, and his surrender was full of the meaning of asking for a fight. "After all, it may be fifty years before you have the chance to see them again."

The silver-white space prison had already collected the entire piece of debris to a very high altitude, and the chassis "spider belly" had opened a mouth, ready to swallow it in.

The outer shell of the prison flashed circles of blue light, spreading from beginning to end like ripples - that meant the jump had begun.

This is definitely not something that can be stopped by just three or two people.

Chus was confused about the purpose of the space prison's trip, but there was one thing that could be considered a consolation: no matter who was controlling the prison and what they were planning, his subordinates would not be in too much danger for the time being. After all, for anyone, the freezing capsule was not waste, even if it was in use and it was difficult to open the capsule from the outside.

But the house...

Asher's face instantly paled: he activated the self-destruct device when he left the storage room.

The upside is that you don't have to worry about someone prying open the door. The downside is...it's not far from exploding.

Sure enough, as the opening of the "spider's belly" was closing again, a loud bang suddenly occurred.

Even Sae looked over in surprise, and saw that the entire space prison, along with Rambo who was preparing for a jump, shuddered suddenly, with black smoke billowing from his stomach, and he looked quite embarrassed.

Saer suddenly smiled with his eyes curved, and gloated leisurely: "Report to the commander, I like your character of 'if you lose a hand, you will break someone else's thigh'."

I don't know if the explosion triggered some device, but one of the ropes that had been retracted in the space prison suddenly dropped down again.

The powerful energy field was somewhat chaotic and crackling.

The outer circle of hidden matter formed by the dragon pillar had an irresistible gravitational force on that thing, and in the blink of an eye it sucked the grappling rope in, as if an invisible giant hand was pulling the grappling rope all the way to the top of everyone's head.

Buzz------

Even Asher's scalp felt tingling, and he immediately stepped back.

Even though he reacted quickly, a little blood still oozed from his forehead. The energy field was partially offset by the outer layer of hidden matter, but the remaining part was still enough to hurt people.

But just as Asher wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, the rope that dangled twice was suddenly grabbed by a hand.

With bare hands...grabbed it.

The hand that was holding it was long and thin, but the bulging bones and joints showed an unbreakable strength.

That was Sae's hand.

Asher, who had a headache caused by the interference of the energy field, looked over in surprise, and his first reaction was not "served it" but "what a pity".

When that handsome hand touched the metal surface of the grab rope, there was a crackling sound, just like water drops falling into a boiling oil pan. Just listening to it made one feel the skin and flesh being torn apart, and the pain was horrifying.

However, Saer just made a "hiss" sound, and it was a very perfunctory one.

He flicked his wrist and threw the rope he was holding onto towards the dragon pillar that was more than a meter high on the ground. He then shook his hands again and said, "My dear commander has given me such a vast piece of land. I should give him something in return."

This ra5cal even put emphasis on the word "vast", fearing that others would not be able to hear his sarcasm.

The flexible metal of the grappling rope was swung around the dragon pillar for several circles, and was then sucked tightly by the positive energy field released instantly by the dragon pillar, as if it was tied into a knot.

The properties of the entire grappling rope were assimilated by the dragon pillar, and were transmitted from bottom to top, reaching the other end connected to the space prison in the blink of an eye.

At this time, more than half of the space prison had already successfully jumped and disappeared into the sea of stars. It was impossible for it to stop suddenly because of this change, otherwise it would be cut in half immediately, crushed in time and space, and disappear in an instant.

Boom boom boom------

A barrage of artillery fire was fired from the disc at the front.

The shaft between the two small discs was blasted into pieces in the blink of an eye. The moment the connection was disconnected, the entire space prison successfully jumped and disappeared. Only the last disc was left, which was pulled by the grappling rope.

Sae held up his torn hand and muttered, "It's quite exciting."

After saying that, he tilted his head and smiled at Asher, pointing at the grappling rope and the space prison disc tied to it, "Dear, I'll give you a kite."

Truss: ...

Mop: "......" God damn kite!
