Chapter Thirty-Seven: On the Road Again

The ground was littered with corpses with lost heads, and filthy blood was sprinkled on the sand, which even the vastness of the desert could not wipe away in a moment.

So they flow, flowing out of their original hosts, like the source of a river.

Eventually, they came together and walked like snakes on the sand.

What a filthy river.

――

On the side of the road, the members of the convoy gathered the damaged cars on a makeshift basis, each with its front wheels scrapped and its body more or less bullet marks, looking as if it had been dragged out of the scrapyard. A few people who seem to know how to repair cars are busy, but even Mo Ye, a layman, can see that these cars are probably not so easy to repair.

Such a fact is written in their faces.

It was such a sad expression......

It's as if you know that the only light in the eternal night is in front of you, but your hands and feet are bound to the cross, and they are firmly nailed, so that you can only watch the dawn appear, but you can't touch the only warmth in the cold night before it disappears.

You can never imagine the madness of people who have been adrift in the eternal night for so long in the face of the light of day.

Mo Ye saw that the eyes of these people were shining, an inexplicable light, like beasts walking in the night.

They cursed the Umbrella Inc. for its inexplicable attack, but more of it was silent. This time they once again witnessed their own insignificance, their hopes, their lives, their everything, for the behemoth of the Umbrella Corporation to be taken away at any time, and they were only silently licking the wounds that they didn't know if they could heal after all this.

There weren't many people repairing the car, but everyone in the team wanted to do their part, some helping to lift the car, some helping to adjust the glue for the people trying to fix the tires......

These people just don't want to make themselves seem helpless.

In the face of this busy scene, Alice seemed very cramped, and she couldn't wait to disappear from these people's field of vision.

The unfortunate boy still thinks that the cause of all this is the leakage of his own deeds.

"Don't think too much, sooner or later, I will settle this account with the umbrella company, and it will be profitable. Standing on the side of the tanker truck that had all the wheels removed, Mo Ye quietly used his mental power to fix the "luggage" in the tanker truck, and said to Alice on the other side.

"No, I always bring bad luck to those around me. Alice lowered her head, and she fiddled with a dagger in her hand, as if only then could she keep her voice from trembling.

"It's not your fault. Mo Xie said, "You didn't do anything wrong. ”

(The above dialogue can be completed at the English level of junior high school, and does not contain any advanced vocabulary and sentence structure~You can try to make up the English version of the dialogue~)

Alice lowered her head and was noncommittal to Mo Ye's words.

Is it true that only if you do something wrong in this world will you be hunted down?

The dagger in his hand was hot, but the light it reflected was cold, and the chill hit people's hearts.

"Hey, excuse me~ I have something to discuss. From afar, Claire, who had finished directing everyone to repair the car and count the battle damage, came over and motioned for Mo Ye and Alice to come with her.

……

"As you can see, it's bad. ”

Claire, the centerpiece of the team, sat in the shadow cast by a car with the other three of them, and spread out a map in front of her, circled around what looked like a finite vintage. (The previous conversation swearing the umbrella company is omitted...... )

"Alas. The other three people sitting here were Carlos, Alice, and Mo Xie, and it was Carlos who let out this sigh, his arms were covered with bandages, some of which were close to gray and seemed to be the product of repeated use.

"We're still a day's and a night's drive from Vegas, and again, unfortunately, there's no place nearby that can provide the necessary parts and tires, and now we can only save five cars even if we give up some cars. Claire glanced at Carlos, who now looked like a mummy and a human, and then dodged the trio, keeping her voice as low as she could.

She didn't want the rest of the team to know about it, even though they were aware of it.

As the leader of the team, Claire has to be confident in this situation, and she has to use her confident look to make them feel that everything can be solved.

"I think we can leave some people here and send a bunch of people to Vegas first, maybe in Vegas we can find supplies to save our cars. Carlos said, perhaps because of the scars on his face, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was very reluctant.

Laughing can sometimes be more ugly than crying.

"Then in your opinion, who should be left here?" Claire said, the three swords in the field looked at Carlos at the same time, Claire frowned, Alice was the same, only Mo Ye was calm.

"This guy doesn't seem to understand the ...... of the conversation just now" - Alice and Claire both thought to Mo Xie's bland reaction, "Really, why did we let this half-baked guy in English participate in the meeting......"

The answer is obvious, Mo Xie is a strong man, and he is strong enough to slaughter a 'tyrant' squad that has become a formation, and this alone is enough to make Claire and the others dare not make decisions behind Mo Ye's back.

Even if Mo Ye couldn't understand them, he had to ensure that he appeared at the scene of the decision, which was an attitude.

"Send the children over first, and the rest will be easy to say. Unexpectedly, Mo Ye, who was defined as "didn't understand the conversation just now", spoke, his tone full of categorical meaning.

Nonsense, he has the task of "escorting the children to Vegas", and the punishment for failing the mission is unknown......

However, in the eyes of outsiders, Mo Ye's words are full of chivalry, knights, they will be respected there.

"That's for sure, we're already prioritizing bus repairs. Claire said, probably she felt that Mo Ye couldn't understand some 'advanced words', so she said to Alice without any disguise: "Your boyfriend is a knight." ”

"That...... Our relationship is not what you think......" Alice said hurriedly, but she glanced at Mo Ye, who looked away in an instant that she had almost met Alice, and the whole scene looked a little embarrassed.

"Knight......" Mo Ye secretly repeated the word in his heart, and the purpose he needed to achieve at this time was to bring the children in the convoy to Vegas to complete his mission.

"Women and children go to Vegas first, and I'll escort you, which will reduce the number of people a lot. "Mo Xiedao, naturally, in order to show his poor English level, there were many pauses in his original words, as if he was thinking about words.

Since these people consider themselves to be "knights", he is not afraid to show some orthodox "chivalry" in order to achieve his goals.

"Good idea. Carlos said, waving his bandaged arms, "Just in time I need to recuperate, I'll stay." ”

"Carlos ......" Alice looked at Carlos as if she was about to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"Okay, let's make a note of the plan, and we'll vote and select volunteers in the convoy later. Claire simply said that this is basically the only way to go, given the current situation of the team.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Under the age of 17, step forward!"

Standing on the roof of the jeep with its four wheels removed, Claire looked down at the convoy she knew, the one she had built single-handedly, and there was an unmistakable meaning in her voice.

As her voice fell, fifteen people lined up.

"Good, you stand on the right. Claire continued, "Hmm...... Fifteen people in total......"

Claire scratched her head, and then directly called out: "Mickey! If I'm not mistaken, you're only 16, right?!"

Her finger pointed at the Able Boy standing at the back of the crowd, a programmer-like presence in the convoy, in charge of the convoy's night defenses.

"No, I'm going to stay, who will get the defense system if I'm not there?" replied Mitch loudly, what a man.

But today, if he doesn't make a list, he has to be listed, if Mo Xie's mission is defined as a failure because of his own reasons, Mo Xie personally promises that he will never kill him.

"Listen, these kids will be in Vegas first, and we'll be back after their ancestors sent us Oh Vegas, and your night defense system should protect these kids. Claire said, her tone was unquestionable, "I ordered you to protect these children in the name of the team captain, what, do you want to disobey?"

"No......" Mickey scratched his head and hesitated for a moment to finally come out of the ranks, "Okay, I take your orders, and I will definitely protect them." ”

“Okay。 Claire checked the queue again, and after making sure no one was left behind, she continued, "Now we only have five cars, so space is very limited, and I need to leave enough people here to wait for the team to take the kids to Vegas before returning to pick you up." Of course, I'll stay as the captain of the team. ”

"Because our guests and the knight who swore to escort the children to Vegas first, there are still 12 places left, and everyone will allocate their own places, but the ladies will take precedence. ”

With all that said, Claire jumped out of the car.

"I'll leave these children to you, warriors from the East, please protect them. Claire said to Mo Xie in the crowd, but she reacted as soon as the words came out - the words and sentences she had just used seemed to be a little more complicated......

So she added a simple sentence: "Protect them." ”

Claire pointed to the children standing in a row on the right, her eyes full of solemnity.

“I_will。 Mo Xie replied, he stretched out his right hand, and a bandage was tied around the palm of his hand, and the blood on it had dried up, "In the name of blood." ”

This guy once again took advantage of the previous trick when he swore to Old K and the "chivalry" in the hearts of Claire and others without remorse.
