After twenty-seven days and three hours, Dongzhou City, where the spirit stone was stretched, was torn apart by the combined efforts of the Yuanying-level monsters, and the formation was no longer able to support it, and the gap widened exponentially.

The battlefield is no longer limited to the vicinity of the city gate, and the Yuanying Raid Array has forced the high-level personnel to decide to abandon the city gate facing the Sea of the Undead and retreat into the city, relying on temporary obstacles, as well as streets and houses, as a barrier against the mutant zombie horde.

Without the protection of the formation, the casualties of personnel are aggravated, which leads to tension in manpower scheduling, and also makes the defensive line that has to be expanded even more negligent from time to time, causing mutant zombies to break in, and causing considerable difficulties and casualties behind the defensive line.

Standing on the high place of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at nearly a quarter of the ruins and broken walls of Dongzhou City, listening to the roar of one after another, as well as the riots and scolding outside the mansion, You Jin felt sad in his heart.

"Lord of the city, those people sent by the family and sect refuse to leave. The person in charge of the report stood outside the door, bowing his head and saying carefully.

Seeing that You Jin didn't move, the man had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "He, they hope that the city lord will open the formation and let them leave. ”

There was still no movement, and the man secretly looked at the back figure standing on the platform, and against that back was the ghostly fog rolling in the distance, and the flickering firelight...... Inexplicably, I feel sadness from my heart.

He was originally an insignificant guard in this mansion, and in normal times, he couldn't do it at all when he waited for orders nearby, conveyed orders, etc., even if he saw the city lord at close range, he had to wait until the city lord's mansion was making a big deal about what activities to have before he had the slightest chance to see it.

Because of the attack of mutant zombies, many people in the city lord's mansion were sent out one after another, and finally the work that he could only secretly envy fell to him; at first, he was excited about this opportunity, but soon, he couldn't be happy anymore.

In this position, a lot of news must be conveyed to the hands of the city lord through his hand, and soon he understood what Dongzhou City was facing, and even looked at the city lord who had always been high and domineering, when Dongzhou City was facing the attack of four Yuanying-level mutant zombies, for the sake of Dongzhou City, how to take the lead in Dongzhou City, leading the good hands of various families and sects to resist foreign enemies.

In that battle, although he destroyed the overwhelming offensive as he wished and killed a meta-infant-level mutant zombie, it also caused You Jin to be seriously injured and almost couldn't come back.

The straight and powerful back seemed to be the same as before, but he knew it...... The castle lord's injuries did not improve at all, and he was unable to fight again for the time being.

As soon as the four Yuan Babies broke through the city gate, a large number of casualties made those people from outside families and sects tremble and couldn't wait to leave, and in just three days, the threshold of the City Lord's Mansion was about to be broken.

"The Lord of the Castle...... People, no, without Yuanying coming to help, we can't hold ...... Shall we open the gates and let those people go? We will abandon the city...... "He said with all his courage raised.

He felt sorry for the city lord's unsuccessful results, but if he could live, he still wanted to live.

You Jin, who had his back to him, was still silent, as if he hadn't heard anything.

I don't know how long it took for the man to muster up his courage and want to say something more

You Jin waved his hand behind his back, "Inform Yan Lao and the others to open the gate of the outer city and let the people leave first." ”

Hearing this order, the man was stunned, and then overjoyed, thinking that the city lord no longer insisted on holding Dongzhou City.

"This matter, you have to do it quietly, don't let those families and sects outside know, go!"

The additional order puzzled the man, and he casually asked, "Why?"

"When no one stops them, the people can't go. They stayed with me. A small and delicate storage bag flew towards the man, "After the notice, leave with your family, if you can, take a few more ordinary people with you, and don't look back." ”

The sudden order made the man stunned, and even a little difficult to accept.

The city lord wanted to leave a large number of monks behind to buy more time for those ordinary people to escape from Dongzhou City. In terms of identity, status, or lifespan and value, whether it is a monk or a city lord, that is not a lot higher than ordinary people, compared to them, ordinary people are just cheap ants, but now the noble city lord takes the initiative to risk his life for these ordinary people...... Completely subvert established notions.

The man subconsciously wanted to dissuade him, but unfortunately, no matter what he said, he didn't see the city lord wavering in the slightest, and finally he could only leave helplessly with the order.

After the man left, You Jin still had no intention of turning around, and looked at the chaotic and ruined area with a calm face, except for a trace of remembrance in his eyes......

……

When he was five years old, his father was drunk and beat his mother to death, along with one of his arms.

His wails did not bring him back to his mother, only more merciless whipping from his father, and when he grew up, he began to drag his crippled arm and go to a small town a few miles away to beg for his father's wine and food.

Huddled in the corner and sobbing, it was the bleakness that he could not get away from his childhood, he envied the children who were always laughing and spilling around his parents, he thought that one day, he would leave the place that caused him physical and mental pain, he thought...... But he didn't, because it was his only home, the home where his mother had been.

When he was twelve, his father was not satisfied with the little money he had begged for, and sold himself to a kind old man's family in exchange for enough wine money for his father's wanton drunken dreams for a while, and he was finally stripped out of that house by the owner of that house.

When he relied on his only remaining arm to work hard in exchange for three meals, natural disasters struck, and then **, he lost his temporary home again, lived on the streets, was bullied by others from time to time, and lived a life without a meal.

On a snowy day, he was driven out of the dilapidated hut by several beggars, but he could not withstand the cold snow, and fell to the wall of a certain house, dying.

Just when he was almost dead, he was picked up by the former city lord of Dongzhou City who happened to pass by.

He finally survived, always with a gloomy face, bowing his head and silently doing the things he was in charge of, meticulous, without any complaints, just to be able to ...... Live one more day.

In those days, no one asked him what had happened, how that arm was useless, and under his calm and gloomy expression, there was a resentment that no one understood.

On a certain afternoon when spring flowers were flying and thin clouds lined the blue sky, the former Dongzhou City Lord stood in front of him and took away the bucket full of water in his hand.

Facing yourself that you've never talked to, say, "I'm not interested in your past. ”

He remembered his eyes widening in astonishment as he looked at the old man with white hair.

"If you don't want to live in misery, live your best from now on. The old man said to him.

The former city lord of Dongzhou City took him into a large room, a large room dedicated to training the guards of the city lord's mansion, and since that day, he has been subjected to more cold eyes and undisguised ridicule.

He didn't know why the former Dongzhou City Lord would bring him into that big house, but he knew that this was the best opportunity in his life, so he studied hard, and with a useless arm, his qualifications couldn't catch up with others, so he spent more time chasing after the others who were ahead.

Gradually, he caught up with the others who were studying in the same house, and even better than the others.

One day when he was twenty years old, the former city lord of Dongzhou City summoned him, and without saying a word, he took off his wasted, shrunken and deformed arm.

At that moment, he was stunned, he didn't understand why the former Dongzhou City Lord treated him like this, could it be that he was so unsightly?

When he came to his senses, he had an extra arm on his body that the former Dongzhou City Lord had reshaped with elixir......

The city lord of Dongzhou City still didn't give him the slightest explanation, but just accepted him as a disciple and handed him a booklet so that he could cultivate well.

Suppressing a lot of doubts and puzzles, with an ordinary body, he worked harder than before, and his cultivation was like a rocket, and soon, he became the first person below the city lord, and the first person of the younger generation in Dongzhou City.

Countless eyes of envy and jealousy gathered on him, and he no longer needed to live aggrieved.

Until he returned to the city after completing the mission one time, that is, the day when the former city lord of Dongzhou City accepted him as his righteous son.

The old man stood on the high ground of the City Lord's Mansion, pointing to the streets and houses below and the busy flow of people.

"This is my home, it is my responsibility to protect this home, and it was also my Master's wish in the past. The old man turned his head, and for the first time smiled at him, "Home is sometimes easy to have, and sometimes you can't get it...... Protecting this home is also my greatest wish as an old man. ”

You Jin still remembers home, the word made him feel complicated at that time, warm and sour......

He didn't know whether Dongzhou City was just a responsibility for his father-in-law, or was it to fulfill his master's last wish, or was it ...... Do you really think of Dongzhou City as a home?

If it is a home, why do you regard this huge city and countless unrelated people as a home?

……

You Jin landed at the gate of the noisy City Lord's Mansion, let go of the breath belonging to Yuan Ying, and pressed down on those noisy people.

"There are more people who refuse to contribute, they just want to escape, and the end will be like them!"

"Bang!"

The six or seven people who were entangled with the doorman exploded in an instant, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
