Chapter 223
When Louis arrived, the Zerg army had already stopped attacking, and the entire ruined battlefield was deathly silent.
Every inch of ground under his feet was soaked in blood, and before him were piles of corpses.
The damaged and fallen warship was still burning, with flames leaping and smoke filling the air.
The soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield among the corpses of their comrades were covered in blood, like soulless zombies.
Under the inky night sky, the moonlight was dim and the breath of death enveloped everyone.
This battle was even more brutal than the one three years ago.
The surviving imperial soldiers remained silent and numb when they saw Louis.
They knew that the empire they were protecting had completely abandoned them...
Louis saw the girl's thin back and unsteady steps walking on the ruins. Just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by Troy.
Troy shook his head at Louis, his voice hoarse: "Don't go over there, she said she wants to be alone."
When he saw the mottled tear marks on the girl’s pale face and her red eyes, Lewis felt very distressed: “What happened?”
Troy glanced at the battleship not far away. The lights in the medical room of the battleship had been on for a long time.
Troy had a complicated expression: "Yuri's left arm was broken. He broke it while trying to save her..."
Grayson came out of the battleship with a gloomy expression. It was true that he didn't like Yuri. He had disliked Yuri since they were in the military academy.
Not to mention that the other party has been competing with him for Yin Yin.
But at this moment, on a battlefield with a shortage of supplies and almost hopeless situation, Yuri lost his left arm, but he didn't even have a low-level ugly mechanical arm...
It shouldn't be like this!
At least, it shouldn't be like this...
When Winter and Norton Noel came back, they both looked very unhappy.
They said nothing, just shook their heads.
This means that the possibility of breaking through the Zerg army's encirclement is very slim.
After their eyes converged, they turned to the girl not far away again.
The girl who loved cleanliness and was always as fair and beautiful as jasmine no longer had the innocence on her face.
Her long black hair was stained with blood, tears and dust, and was no longer smooth but disheveled.
But even so, even though her dress was ragged and dirty, even though her face was covered in dust and specks of blood, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.
She is still the focus of everyone's attention.
Shen Yinyin looked at the sea of blood and corpses in front of her. Her body was on the verge of collapse and her consciousness became hazy.
At this moment, she saw a harmonica out of the corner of her eye.
The harmonica seemed to be someone's beloved item. It was well protected, just covered with dust. However, it was unknown whether the owner of the harmonica was dead or alive.
Shen Yinyin gently stroked the harmonica, and vaguely recalled the memories of her previous life.
Unfortunately, she studied music and painting, and here, what she learned is of no use at all...
The sudden falling of snowflakes on her fingertips made Shen Yinyin stunned.
She thought it was snowing, but when she touched it, she found that it was not snow, but ashes.
She raised her head and saw the ashes in the sky slowly falling like snowflakes.
Shen Yinyin looked at the dark sky, slowly put the harmonica to her lips, and started playing——
On the dead silent battlefield, a sad and distant tune suddenly sounded, like gentle waves, gently soothing everyone's cold and numb hearts.
They didn't know the name of the song, but at this time it was no different from a requiem to mourn the dead and comfort the living.
At this moment, everyone looked up at the girl under the moonlight.
She is fragile and beautiful, like a delicate flower blooming on a branch. It seems that anyone can break her easily, but she is so dazzling and tenacious.
When Shen Yinyin closed her eyes, tears silently slid down under her long eyelashes.
The sound of the piano was so distant that even the insect army stopped what they were doing when they heard the faint and sad tune.
The Zerg officer who was reporting on the battle situation was distracted and paused for a moment because of the song.
Therefore, Prince Roy also heard the sound of the piano through communication.
In this war, it is not just Shen Yinyin and her friends who are suffering and sad.
Like them, the Zerg soldiers also have people they care about, families, and lost comrades.
That is why the insect army can empathize, feel dazed and moved.
Roy's eyes moved slightly, and his cold voice softened a little: "Who is playing the harmonica?"
"Your Highness, this sound comes from the Imperial Army..."
"It seems to be the female named Shen Yinyin."
Hearing the name again, Roy's red eyes deepened slightly, "Don't those males treasure her very much? Why didn't they send her away?"
"It seems like she doesn't want to leave."
Hearing this, Roy was stunned.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of a word - live and die together.
In his opinion, the females in the empire are greedy, selfish, vicious and dirty.
But this Shen Yinyin overturned his perception time and time again. She looked so useless and so weak.
But she was braver and stronger than he thought.
At this moment, Roy seemed to understand why Locke liked her...
The melody flowing from the girl's lips continued, and everyone slowly calmed down.
Among these people, there was only one person whose originally calm heart was stirred up by huge waves at this moment!
Winter's heart was aching so much, his heartbeat was wildly unbalanced, and even his ears were making a sharp buzzing sound.
With a splitting headache, he saw again the person who looked exactly like him in the chaotic fragments of memory.
In the unreal picture, he, with black hair and black eyes, sat next to the girl with gentle eyes and intimate behavior, smiling as he watched her play the harmonica for him.
The scenes that flashed through my mind were all related to her.
He always looked at her, restrainedly, forbearingly, hugged her, and kissed her secretly...
And this time, when his black-haired, black-eyed self kissed the girl, he finally saw her face clearly.
This face... is exactly the same as Yin Yin in front of him.
Winter was shaken.
The same identity, the same hidden feelings, the same face, the same name and personality...
Is it a dream?
Or, are they from another world?
Winter's chest was heaving violently. As soon as he moved, the sound of the harmonica stopped abruptly. The girl's face turned pale, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and slowly fell down.
"Yinyin!"
Winter hugged the girl in his arms, his eyes were red and his voice was trembling.
The sudden disappearance of the harmonica sound also made the Zerg soldiers feel a little lost.
Roy frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"The Imperial Army is in chaos. It seems that something happened to that female..."
Roy was silent for a moment, said nothing, and ended the call.
To him, she was nothing more than an irrelevant enemy.
As dawn approached, Roy looked at the war documents on the table. He knew that the empire had lost the war because their empire had abandoned them.
But for some reason, the faint sound of the piano would always ring in his ears.
Suddenly, the communication came on, and it was the officer on the front line again.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Army just sent out a small warship regardless of casualties. We are unable to break through that warship..."
The only person who could make the imperial army send her away regardless of casualties could be the injured female Shen Yinyin.
Roy lowered his eyelashes and remained silent for a long time, then for the first time he violated his own principles.
"Since we can't break through, let's let the battleship go..."
Just think of it as, for Locke...
