Volume 5 Indifference, The Nature of the World Chapter 128 Farewell, Cowardly Self
"The people on patrol are the warriors who guard us, and as long as we don't offend them, they are our best shields, our best friends. A mother with her child pointed to the soldiers patrolling the street.
The streets of Black Lake are no longer as insensitive, and while they are more indifferent to those who make mistakes, the patrolling guards are the "old friends" with whom you can chat when you're not wrong. Maybe it was the suspicion of each other's lives that made them suffocated, but now after the reform, laughter can be heard on the streets of Black Lake City from time to time.
It could even be the sound of patrolling guards chatting with people, even if they didn't know each other, but it could be like meeting old friends on the street.
It's a rare moment of fun.
A lost boy passed by, saw the guards on patrol, and heard that they were absolutely trustworthy people, so he tentatively approached them. Sure enough, the guards spoke to him very gently, showed him the way back, and sent someone to see him off.
If it were in Black Lake not long ago, the boy would probably have been tricked away, and what would happen after that would be either him disappearing into this world forever, or "he" disappearing into this world.
Suddenly, the guards on patrol didn't know what they saw, and their faces instantly turned gloomy.
They saw several people standing in a small alley sneakily, looking suspicious, unsure if they were rebels. It wasn't until the group learned that the guards had seen them that they hurried into the alley.
"Discover the Guardians of the Dead. One of the guards took out a communicator and reported.
At that moment, the team suddenly became excited, and they all picked up their guns and prepared for battle. The mother was a little worried and was about to take the child, but the child clung to the guardrail and stretched her neck curiously.
"Correction, a member of a reactionary organization, requesting an attack. ”
In less than two seconds, the men raised their guns and pointed them at the members, and after a series of gunshots, several people were killed on the spot. After this, several guards quickly got up and chased in the direction where the men had left. Suddenly, a cry suddenly sounded, and the guards who remained followed the sound, and when they saw the frightened crying child, several soldiers quickly stood up and blocked the bodies of those who had died.
Seeing this scene, the mother smiled embarrassedly and quickly picked up the child and left the scene.
The guards maintained the scene until the convoy arrived and took over the scene, and then the guards left the area and continued their patrol route.
After half a day, the task of this squad was finally temporarily over, and they got off work and separated in the former guard branch.
Maybe you will wonder what "former guard division" means.
After the change of rights in the city of Black Lake and the start of everything, the city center decided to retract its rights and no longer rely strongly on the strength of the Border Self-Defense Forces, and the city of Black Lake changed from a symbiotic relationship to a cooperative relationship with them. Subsequently, many of the branches of the Border Self-Defense Force in the city of Black Lake were reorganized and became directly under the city of Black Lake, and only a few branches were still managed by the Border Self-Defense Force.
If it continues to develop and the conditions improve, maybe Black Lake City can really be self-sufficient from the Border Self-Defense Force.
Of course, this will definitely cause a lot of dissatisfaction - obviously there are many benefits to coexisting with the Border Self-Defense Force, and the Border Self-Defense Force will not hurt if it loses Black Lake City, so it is a loss to do so.
But for the city center, it's not a loss.
The city center doesn't bother to go and explain to them, if things go well, time will tell them everything.
Taking off the guard uniform in the city center and looking at everything that was somewhat familiar, a man sat down with a soft sigh and quietly thought about something.
"Oh, you're not dead, Captain Liu. Another man patted the thoughtful man on the shoulder angrily, "Logically speaking, you've been beaten into a honeycomb by now." ”
That's right, this thinking man is Captain Liu, who once defected to the enemy, a squad of the security team.
According to the current situation in Black Lake City, this renegade member of the Dead Guardian should have been executed. However, he didn't die, but still appeared in the official guard organization of Black Lake City so swaggeringly, isn't the city center afraid that he will defect to the enemy again?
Of course not, he won't do it, and even if he does, at least he won't be the first.
Now, it was clear that the man who tapped him on the shoulder knew him. The man was a former member of the Guard who worked for the Guard, and he looked down on Captain Liu when he learned that he had surrendered when he was threatened by the Supervisors.
"Don't laugh, if it were you, you might not even be able to speak. Captain Liu snorted coldly.
"Hey, if it was me at that time, I would have shot directly at Peng Yuyun. ”
Captain Liu was stunned by this straightforward answer, of course, he didn't feel any momentum or a sense of justice, he just felt that he heard a stupid big man with five big and three thick talking nonsense. Things didn't befall this person, it was not strange for this person to say anything, and Captain Liu was very aware of this, so he didn't say anything more.
For the decision he made at that time, Captain Liu did not regret it at all, but still had a small "sense of achievement" because he "did the right thing". If it happened again, he would definitely not hesitate to choose the original option.
Unlike everyone else, it's really not an escape, even if it looks exactly the same.
The gloomy clouds gradually swallowed up the sun, and several black shadows swirled in the sky, as if to remind someone of the ominous coming.
After immersing themselves in the music, Peng Yuyun and Yueyue walked out of the building, looking at the dark clouds in the sky that were gradually thickening, maybe there would be a rain soon. Considering that she didn't bring an umbrella, Peng Yuyun unbuttoned her coat and hugged Yueyue, ready to use her clothes to block the rain first. And Yueyue shrank in Peng Yuyun's arms very obediently, just like shrinking in her father's arms, without scruples.
After all, they are all people who have lost everything, so why not be able to find the warmth of family with each other?
"How do you feel, Yueyue, are you happy?"
"Super - happy, Uncle Peng Yuyun is so powerful, I will also be a pianist in the future, I will fulfill my uncle's unfulfilled wish in the real world!"
Yue Yue's innocent words penetrated deep into Peng Yuyun's heart, and he didn't know if it was a knife or candy dimly, making the smile on his face disappear for a moment, and then he came back with a hint of emotion. What a surprise for a sinner like him to have someone who could take over his dreams, or a child with a future.
But soon they will be separated, and Bai Nanyu, who has been freed from the shackles of the "game", is also preparing to send people back to the real world, if Yueyue goes back this time, I don't know when they will meet again.
The wide road became more and more crowded, even though there was no one competing with them.
The rain really fell, Peng Yuyun felt an urgency in her heart, and finally worried that she would never have a chance again, so she said to Yueyue hesitantly: "Maybe this has some selfish intentions...... Yue Yue ...... You can...... Can you call me Daddy?"
The footsteps of the two suddenly stopped, and the secret predator also stopped, and gradually retracted the net.
Faced with Peng Yuyun's request, Yueyue didn't look surprised at all, and even looked forward to it. She smiled, looked at the floor with a deliberate twist, and then glanced away:
"Dad...... Uncle Peng, be careful!"
This sudden caution really made Peng Yuyun, who was looking forward to it, not react, and after a gunshot, he only felt that he was being hugged by Yueyue's small body, and then he felt something slam into his chest. The sharp pain made Peng Yuyun bend down, but he didn't forget to grab Yueyue in front of him, and knelt on the ground following the trend of her falling, supporting the back of Yueyue's neck with his arm.
Blood kept pouring out of the creepy hole in her head, Peng Yuyun was speechless for a while, and the figure in his arms that gradually disappeared on the day his girlfriend died.
"Yueyue ...... What happened to you...... Who! who ......" Peng Yuyun shouted, only to hear a gunshot in response.
Two shots, one through the head of Yue Yue, who was protecting Peng Yuyun, hit Peng Yuyun in the chest, and the second shot pierced his chest and knocked him to the ground. Then, the guards in the center of Black Lake City came out of the shadows, like hunters watching their dead prey.
"The subject has lost the ability to resist and is not yet dead, please instruct. The captain of the guard spoke to the city center with a communicator, hesitated for a moment after hearing the reply, and then continued, "Confirm the order, clear? ”
The captain of the guard didn't pay attention to Peng Yuyun's appearance at all, and simply carried out the order. After confirming the order in the city center, he did not hesitate to pick up his gun, aimed at Peng Yuyun's head and pulled the trigger. However, Peng Yuyun dodged the blow with a shake of his head, glanced at Yueyue on the ground, and then looked at the captain of the guard, the captain of the guard simply adjusted the gun to a three-shot pattern.
After a few shots, Peng Yuyun had no choice but to lie on the ground, looking at Yueyue's figure and waiting for death.
No, why did Yueyue's injury suddenly recover? Seeing clearly the wound on Yueyue's head that had been restored to its original state, Peng Yuyun suddenly felt a little happy, raised her head, and the bullet really floated in mid-air as if frozen.
This is the hero's rescue, and it came at a good time.
Looking not far away, the familiar white figure was indeed standing there, bright red blood was very conspicuous on her snow-white arm. Seeing that Bai Nanyu finally came to interfere with the work, the captain of the guard put down his gun and stood towards Bai Nanyu. When Bai Nanyu walked in front of them, the captain of the guard opened his mouth to warn:
"Bai Nanyu, you guy is useless, we won't expel you, but please don't be so virgin and interfere with our normal work. ”
This cold remark made Bai Nanyu suddenly blow up, took a deep breath and folded his arms, and scolded sharply: "You hurt the child, don't you see?
"That's what she got into the trajectory herself, and we don't care who stops us, we just get rid of the target. The captain of the guard replied very calmly, "This is our rule, as long as the wicked people are not let go, then more people will be saved." I would like to advise you that although you are an 'administrator', that doesn't mean you can use your authority to do whatever you want. ”
"Captain, the target ......"
Because Bai Nanyu had just recovered from Peng Yuyun's injuries, during the conversation between the two, Peng Yuyun said goodbye to the unconscious Yue Yue, and took the opportunity to flee towards the nearest cover. Although the guards found out quickly, they couldn't shoot without permission, and by the time the captain found out, Peng Yuyun had already run away.
Seeing that Peng Yuyun had disappeared from his back, the captain of the guard put down the gun he had just raised, glared at Bai Nanyu angrily, and then beckoned to lead the team members to pursue.
The guard's back gradually faded away, Yue Yue, who had received first aid because of Bai Nanyu's ability, woke up, Bai Nanyu quickly helped her up, looking at her blank eyes, it seemed that she had temporary amnesia. However, this kind of amnesia will be remembered soon, and it is not a big deal.
The real big thing is that when she thinks of Peng Yuyun, will she want to convey that unfinished sentence to him?
But she didn't have a chance.
