…
After a night of fighting, Shen Ye and Tifa got up very late. They had worked hard all night and didn't want to get up much.
It was not until noon that Shen Ye reluctantly got up from Tifa's bed. After having lunch with her, he returned to the fifth block.
Just like yesterday, Aerith locked herself in the room, but surprisingly, Elmyra was also at home and did not go out to work.
Seeing Shen Ye coming back, Elmyra expressed her dissatisfaction to him for the first time: "Where did you go last night? I didn't see you the whole night."
"Sorry, Ms. Elmyra, I went out last night for something." Shen Ye didn't dare to say that he was going to find Tifa, otherwise Elmyra would definitely fight him to the death.
"Listen, Shen, no matter what you have to say, there's something wrong with Aerith right now. You'd better stay at home and accompany her well these days, okay?" Elmyra had a good impression of Shen Ye after all, so she didn't ask any more questions and just gave some instructions.
"I understand." Shen Ye nodded, then walked to Aerith's bedroom door and knocked gently.
"Aerith, I'm back."
Click!
As soon as his voice sounded, the door was opened immediately, and Aerith appeared in front of Shen Ye with a haggard face.
"Shen, I'm so sleepy." Seeing Shen Ye, Aerith hugged Shen Ye's waist and pressed her head tightly against his chest.
Seeing Alice who seemed to have not slept all night, Shen Ye felt a pain in his heart. He then picked her up by the waist and walked to the bed.
"I want to sleep in your arms." Aerith didn't let go of her hand, but just murmured with her eyes closed.
"Okay!" Shen Ye nodded, then sat on Aerith's bed.
…
In this way, Shen Ye stayed at home with Aerith for three days.
Three days later, at night, as a train arrived at the station near the No. 1 Mako Reactor, two neatly dressed Shinra soldiers, holding guns, checked the train that had just arrived in accordance with regulations.
One of the soldiers nodded to his teammates and began to walk towards the back of the car body, looking at the car body with vigilant eyes from time to time, not wanting to miss any clues.
When he walked to the fourth carriage, he suddenly heard some strange noises behind him.
He turned around immediately and saw that his companion had suddenly disappeared.
Realizing that something was wrong, Jing raised his gun and immediately ran towards the place where his companion was standing. But halfway through his run, a man with a red cable tie on his head suddenly appeared behind him and covered his mouth with his hand.
As an elite soldier of Shinra Company, even though his mouth was covered, the soldier did not give up resistance and swung his gun and smashed behind him.
However, the man with the red cable tie was not acting alone. Just as the Shinra soldier swung his gun, another woman with a cable tie on her head jumped down from the top of the train, quickened her pace a few steps, and kicked him in the abdomen.
"Wow!" Although this Shinra soldier had received rigorous military training and had better physical fitness than ordinary people, this kick still made him hurt like a cooked shrimp. He curled up his body, then his eyes went dark and he fainted.
"They are so weak!" Jessie, who had a red tie on her head, curled her lips. Then she waved towards the roof of the train, and several more people jumped down from the top of the train.
"Hurry up and don't waste time." Among the people who jumped down was the leader of the Avalanche Branch, Barret.
As soon as he stood firm, he lowered his voice and shouted towards the top of the train: "Don't dawdle, hurry up and catch up."
Just as he finished speaking, two more people jumped down from the roof of the car.
It was Shen Ye and Cloud.
When they landed, Cloud deliberately tried to show off, waving the giant sword that he never left his body and striking a pose that was incredibly handsome.
"You yellow-haired boy, keep a low profile." Looking at Cloud posing, Shen Ye covered his forehead helplessly.
"There are no spectators here. Are you going to pose like this for nothing?"
Cloud, who was still posing, twitched his mouth. He looked at Shen Ye with some anger, but still ended his handsome pose and put the giant sword behind his back.
At this moment, two patrolling Shinra soldiers appeared at the entrance of the station. When they saw them, they raised their guns at them at the same time.
"Who are you?" One of the Shinra soldiers took two steps forward and shouted loudly.
The people from Avalanche were too lazy to answer this question. Barrett even smiled disdainfully and said to Cloud and Shen Ye behind him as he walked forward, "It's your turn."
Before Shen Ye could react, Cloud rushed out first, drew his giant sword and rushed towards the two Shinra soldiers.
"Damn it! Stop it now." The Shinra soldier who spoke earlier shouted, "Or we will shoot."
But Cloud just glanced at him coldly, then raised his huge sword high and slashed at them.
Bang bang bang bang...
Seeing this, the two Shinra patrol soldiers immediately pulled the trigger, and countless bullets shot at Cloud.
But Cloud was a "1st" special forces soldier, and ordinary bullets had no effect on him. He waved his giant sword and deflected the bullets one by one, shocking the two Shinra soldiers so much that they even forgot to dodge.
Ordinary Shinra soldiers were no match for Cloud. In just a moment, the two Shinra soldiers were taken care of by Cloud.
"Well done, Cloud."
After Shen Ye and others entered the inspection gate of the site, the fat man Wedge, who was walking at the end of the team, couldn't help but praise them, and then went up the stairs to the upper level of the site.
Cloud didn't react at all to Wedges's praise, and continued to concentrate on dealing with the Shinra soldiers that kept appearing.
When the last Shinra soldier was killed by his sword, he also ran to the upper floor.
In front of a huge electronic door on the upper floor, Jesse and Biggs were using the tablets in their hands to hack into and unlock it.
At this time, Wedge, who saw Cloud coming up, ran up to him and gave him a thumbs up with some admiration in his eyes.
"Don't treat me as one of your friends. After the work is done, we will have nothing to do with each other." Cloud said expressionlessly.
Wedge was stunned for a moment. Cloud's indifference made him feel uncomfortable, so he could only awkwardly retract his thumbs-up hand.
After hearing what Cloud said, Biggs couldn't help but say to Jessie, "He has quite a personality. He seems like a bit difficult guy to deal with."
"Indeed, although he is very handsome, I don't like his personality." Although Jessie likes handsome guys, especially those who are good-looking, she has no resistance to Cloud 's face, but she keeps her distance from him.
"Shen's personality is better. At least we can play together." Jessie said again.
"Thank you for your compliment, but you should be careful about the occasion before you say bad things about others. He can hear it." Shen Ye suddenly spoke behind Jesse.
Jessie was startled by Shen Ye who suddenly appeared behind her. she patted her large chest and said nonchalantly, "It's an employment relationship anyway. It should be okay if he heard it. Besides, judging from his personality, he shouldn't be the kind of person who will take revenge for any slight!"
"That's hard to say." Shen Ye looked back at Cloud , but the other party was standing there with his arms folded, with an indifferent look on his face, as if he didn't hear their conversation.
"Okay, I take back what I said just now. He is indeed a broad-minded person." Shen Ye smiled.
After hearing his words, Cloud 's expression finally changed and he glared at him with some disgust.
"Haven't you finished yet?"
Barret, who had been standing in front of a fence, not sure whether he was thinking or observing, turned around and walked over, pushing Cloud who was blocking his way.
"Give me a little more time, Barret. Shinra's security software is not that easy to crack." Jessie glanced at the cracking progress on the tablet computer. There was still at least one third left.
"Hurry up, we don't have much time." Barret knew that this was a technical job, but he urged anyway.
It is said that fat people have big hearts. While waiting for the door to open, Wedge was stunned for a while, as if he had forgotten that he had not been well received by Cloud just now. He ran to Cloud and said to him: "If it was just for money, you wouldn't come to a place like this, right? You must be like us, for this planet..."
"I'm not interested in this. I'm just here for the high hiring fee you offered." Cloud interrupted Wedge and didn't even want to look at him. He turned and looked to the other side.
Having failed to get a good response again, Wedge became embarrassed again. He looked at Cloud , then at Shen Ye and the others, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Just as he was about to say something to ease his embarrassment, he suddenly heard Jessie cheering excitedly: "Ha, it's done."
As Jesse's voice fell, the electronic door slowly opened.
"I'll go in first, and you follow me." The door was only half open when Biggs rushed in with a gun in both hands. After he made sure it was safe, he waved behind him.
"Let's go together." Shen Ye said to Jesse.
Jessie put away the tablet, nodded, and trotted in with Shen Ye.
Barret did not follow him in, but turned around and shouted, "Weiji, you go in first."
After Weegee left, Barret continued to say to Cloud: "Although you are Tifa's friend, don't forget that we also spent a lot of money to hire you. You'd better be polite to us and don't let us down."
In fact, he already disliked this guy a little. His cold personality didn't make people like him at all. But since he had already been hired and it was Tifa who recommended him, he could only endure it for now.
Cloud still looked at Barret expressionlessly, then nodded coldly and walked towards the door.
"Weiji, are you okay? Don't mind that boy, that's just his personality."
On the way to the core area of the Mako Reactor, Shen Ye noticed that Wedge was in a low mood, so he leaned over and patted his thick shoulders.
"Not bad." Wedge and Shen Ye had only met a few times and their relationship was not very good. Seeing the other party coming to comfort him, he smiled at him gratefully.
"It's okay." Shen Ye nodded at him, then looked back.
Behind them, Cloud was fighting with the endless stream of Shinra soldiers. During this time, many patrol dogs trained by Shinra Company also joined the battle. However, these soldiers and patrol dogs were just a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers and were easily dealt with by Cloud .
"Although his personality is not likable, his strength is really beyond doubt. Our money is totally worth it." Jessie also looked back and then sighed.
"After all, he is 1st, the strongest special forces soldier." Shen Ye nodded. Even if this 1st was self-proclaimed by Cloud due to memory confusion and his real strength may not be 1st, he had to admit that even so, Cloud was indeed quite capable.
"Okay, now is not the time to chat. Biggs has already cleared the way." Barret spoke up to stop the two from talking. He watched Biggs use tools to cut open the fence blocking the road, and then he was the first to crawl into the hole.
…
The Mako Reactor is a large, sophisticated and complex building. In addition to being strictly guarded, the internal routes are also extremely complicated, like a maze. Without a map, you will get lost if you are not careful.
However, Shen Ye and his friends don't have to worry about getting lost or taking the wrong path because they have a map of the interior of Mako Reactor No. 1.
With the map, they were able to move much faster after entering the Mako Reactor than from the outside, because they didn't have to take detours or spend time looking for the way out for fear of taking the wrong path.
"I don't know where Tifa got the map of the interior of the Mako Reactor, it's so accurate." Jessie, who was leading the way with a tablet computer, exclaimed. She didn't believe it at first, but after coming in, she found that the map was incredibly accurate, as if it was taken directly from the original design drawing.
"Who knows? Maybe she has her own channels." Barret certainly didn't know. Although he was a little curious, he didn't ask much when Tifa gave them the map. After all, everyone has their own secrets.
Shen Ye nodded thoughtfully. He remembered that the last time they parted at the Wall Market, Tifa left in Scarlet's car.
"It can only be her, otherwise Tifa will never be able to get the map of the interior of the Mako Reactor." Shen Ye thought.
Since they had the map, there was naturally no incident of Barret questioning Cloud after entering and asking him to take them to the Mako Reactor Bridge, so surprisingly, there was no dispute among everyone along the way.
After getting rid of another group of soldiers who were seeking death, they came to an elevator.
"Biggs, you stay here, we'll go up." Barret ordered, then pressed the elevator door open button.
"Don't worry, Barret." Biggs raised his pistol and made a reassuring gesture to them.
Afterwards, Shen Ye and others entered the elevator.
