I am weak and friendly

Chapter 370 The Last Guardian (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)
Several members of the special operations team looked up at the red dot on the big screen.

Their hearts were filled with conflict.

On one hand, there was Lin Po-xiao, whom they revered like a god; on the other hand, there was the extremely powerful system they currently relied on.

“I’m not telling you to disobey orders. I’m just telling you that the previous command system is no longer reliable. You should remember that your previous command system has already been hacked,” Shen Hong said.

“I need to contact Commander Lin,” one of the middle-aged men said. “I need Commander Lin to give me the order personally.”

But he paused for a moment, then ordered, "You all proceed according to the plan and await my further orders."

"Yes!"

Shen Hong looked at him: "Who are you?"

"Reporting to Commander Shen, I am Kong Ruofei, the captain of Special Operations Team Three," the middle-aged man said. "Sun Licheng is a member of my Seventh Group."

"Ah, I've heard so much about you!" Shen Hong immediately held Kong Ruofei in higher regard.

Sun Licheng was someone Tang Yiping trusted, and for no apparent reason, he felt a sense of warmth towards this dark-faced man who looked quite tough.

A slight smile appeared on Kong Ruofei's dark face as he shook hands with Shen Hong.

"Wait a moment, I need to try to contact Commander Lin now," Kong Ruofei said, then nodded to Shen Hong and strode towards a corner.

Before he even reached the corner, his phone rang again. He looked down and his expression changed drastically, as if he had been frozen in place.

"What's wrong?" Shen Hong asked.

“Licheng… Licheng…” Kong Ruofei’s face, which was as black as charcoal, turned extremely pale at this moment.

……

Time goes back to a while ago.

In a warehouse of Touchpoint Interconnect in Hailing City, members of the 7th Group of Special Operations Team 3 are on duty.

They stared somewhat boredly at the gate that kept switching between the two worlds. One of them said, "Sigh, I'm so envious of the captain. He gets to go to that place on the other side with Tang. I really want to go too..."

"You can just run headfirst into it now, and maybe you'll travel to the other side."

"Hey, don't get me into trouble! There are so many people on the other side, wouldn't I just be throwing my life away?" They sized up the people coming and going on the other side, wearing orange hazmat suits and fiddling with various instruments and equipment. "I'm not as amazing as the team leader! He can protect Tang in that other world as if it were empty, taking on hundreds of enemies by himself and still managing to fight his way in and out seven times."

"I heard that Tang is incredibly skilled and took down hundreds of enemies all by himself?"

"That was because the team leader was giving Tang face. Think about it, Tang was in a wheelchair! How could he take down so many people? I admit that Tang is very capable. I probably couldn't catch up with Tang's intelligence even in a hundred years, but when it comes to combat, we still have to rely on our special operations team!"

"Hmm...that makes sense, but I'm not much worse than the team leader, so wouldn't I be able to dominate the other side too?"

The two were chatting when they heard someone inside shout, "The team leader called and told us to switch shifts and carry out a new mission!"

"Where to go?"

"Protect Tang!"

"Huh? Really? I can finally meet the legendary Tang classmate?"

"Great, we're finally leaving this weird place."

"Get ready to relieve the other teams quickly, the team leader is waiting for us at the hospital!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

The two men switched positions and were about to leave when Yue Ran turned back.

"Have you guys noticed? There are more and more people on the other side."

"You think so too? And I feel like the time on both sides of the door... is a bit off? It seems... the time displayed in the other world is getting longer and longer?"

The two exchanged a glance, both sensing something was amiss.

"Should we report this to the team leader?"

"Well, let's go!"

The two hurriedly walked to the back and saw many of their companions packing their belongings.

For them, moving around at any time is the norm, so they packed up very quickly.

"We'll set off in five minutes," the deputy team leader told them.

"We have something to report to the captain." The two men explained the situation to the deputy team leader, who turned to look out the window and frowned.

"You guys tell the tech team to test the time and check the monitoring data. I'll call the team leader."

As the deputy team leader said this, he took out his phone and made a call.

While waiting for the call to connect, the group of people looked around idly.

In that direction, a girl wearing hot pants and a tank top was lying on a huge tentacle, constantly swallowing and spitting.

When they first arrived, the tendrils were coiled in a corner of the warehouse, occupying a large area along the wall, but now they have almost been dug through.

When they first arrived, they all thought this girl was really too strange.

Now... I feel that this has become an indispensable part of my daily life.

"Sigh, why am I leaving? Suddenly I feel a little reluctant."

"Yeah, I also want to see what's on the other side after we dig through."

"You just can't bear to look at those pretty young girls, can you?"

"What are you saying? She's just a little girl, I'm not a beast! Besides, I heard she's Tang's sister..." Just then, the deputy team leader suddenly shushed him, and the call connected.

Just as the deputy team leader was about to speak, he heard a voice from the other side.

"No smoking in the corridor. Thank you for your cooperation."

The deputy team leader frowned.

Then... they heard Sun Licheng's voice:

"Why... why?"

Sun Licheng's voice sounded exceptionally weak.

Then came Lin Po-xiao's voice:

"Because I don't want to... die again."

"No, it's falling into a state worse than death..."

"I've finally made it back. This time, I'm determined to survive..."

At the scene, everyone's expressions gradually froze, and then... became ferocious.

There isn't much room to live in the warehouse. A few desks and seven or eight "beds" made of boxes make up the living quarters for the special operations team members stationed there.

For them, this environment was neither strange nor rudimentary.

They were comrades-in-arms who shared life and death, and they were always together.

When it quieted down here, everyone else quieted down too.

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop in the warehouse.

All that remained were the sounds of Lola breathing in and out.

And the voice on the phone.

“The team leader…” A special operations team member tried to speak, but the deputy team leader covered his mouth.

The voice continued:

"I'm sorry, I've always had high hopes for you, and I even thought you might become my successor. In fact, in my plan, you should survive with us."

……

"Hush... Stop struggling, your battle is over, warrior. Go back to where you belong."

"The Coordination Office thanks you for your sacrifice."

They had actually heard Lin Po-xiao say this many times before.

When comrades-in-arms sacrificed their lives, at the memorial service, and in private.

But this time, when they heard it, they felt as if they had swallowed a live maggot.

The footsteps faded into the distance, the phone call hadn't ended, but no one spoke.

All they could hear were twitching and struggling sounds.

Just by listening to the sounds, they could imagine Sun Licheng struggling desperately on the other side.

"Team leader!"

"Go, go, go!"

"That's too late……"

"Let me go! I'm going to kill him!"

At that moment, the group of men wished they could transform into electric current and jump directly into the phone.

But the sounds from that side gradually quieted down.

Just then, someone walked in from outside: "New orders, we are required to withdraw our defenses!"

"Withdrawal?" Inside the warehouse, the remaining members of Special Operations Team 3 could hardly believe their ears.

"This is Commander Lin's order."

"Ah... Commander Lin..."

"Shut up!" The deputy team leader quickly stopped the impulsive special operations team member and asked a member of the technical team next to him, "What were the test results?"

The technician swallowed hard, his face turning pale and bloodless.

In fact, even without him saying it, the members of Special Operations Team Three had already heard a "buzzing" vibration.

The warehouse door shook violently.

They're coming.

"Everyone, prepare for battle!" the deputy leader shouted sternly.

"No, you guys go protect Tang right now!" said another special operations team member from the side. "This is an order from your team leader. Also, inform the captain."

"But here..."

"We will fight to the last man."
