Chapter 51: The Action Begins
In the silent night, Bai Heng, who was keeping vigil, looked at the crescent moon with white frost. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe night is like purple grapes, deep and dark, but with a beautiful dark purple glow. "Have a bar and warm up. Fan Ziling walked up from behind and handed him a wine jug.
If Chen Zhi was here, he would definitely frown. During the vigil, you should pay attention to all aspects of movement, do not chat privately, and do not drink too much. It's just that now that he is gone, except for Zheng Yihao, a loyal and honest man, Bai Hengyuan and Fan Ziling will choose to secretly relax and drink wine at night.
What's more, the weather is getting colder and colder, and if you have a sip of wine, it won't seem that the night is too difficult.
"At this rate, we'll be in a position in two days. Bai Hengyuan took it, unscrewed the lid and took a sip, and the hot wine suddenly warmed his lungs. He sighed, his brown skin looked more and more angular in the night, and his eyes were bright and sharp.
"Maybe we got the map faster than Chen Zhi. Fan Ziling smiled lightly.
Bai Hengyuan glanced at him: "What do you want to say?"
Fan Ziling shrugged his shoulders, with a faint smile on his handsome face.
"I know this clue may have been put down on purpose. Bai Hengyuan glanced at him, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, with a hint of blood, "Someone invited us, we always have to give some face." ”
"So bold," Fan Ziling laughed and said jokingly, "But are you sure you're not making excuses?"
Bai Hengyuan glared at him fiercely.
Fan Ziling laughed, the two took turns drinking, he suddenly looked at the cold night in the distance, and said, "The cold winter is coming." ”
The cold has always come from the northeast all the way to the southwest, spreading every day, and it must be that the northeast is now a snowfield, and it is uninhabited.
It was the cold that annihilated most living things.
Maybe today you are still bathed in the warm sun, and tomorrow it will be cold to the bone. In a few days, people without the shade of high-rise buildings will be struggling with the sky every day. Only by running and fleeing can we get rid of the cold hands in the depths of the terrifying cold wave.
Bai Hengyuan pursed his lips and said softly, "I'm worried." ”
"It's almost there. Fan Ziling looked into the distance.
***
The atmosphere at the Phantom Base grew bleak. There weren't a few people left, people died, people were hurting, and the base might still treat the lightly injured, but for those who were seriously injured, after calculating the cost of benefits, they gave up, just prepared a pitiful meal for them every day and put it aside, regardless of whether they had the strength to take care of themselves or not.
The air was filled with a faint rancid stench and the lingering smell of blood. It is not always a pleasant thing to eat with such a taste, Gu Lian put down her chopsticks after eating a few bites. Long Zixuan sat against the wall with her, and unlike her, he was eating expressionlessly, as if he was eating some kind of delicacies.
"Eat some more. He didn't look at her, but chewed and ate.
Gu Lian took another bite, her stomach stirred, and she stopped her chopsticks again.
"You need energy. He said in a hoarse voice.
"I can't eat it. Gu Lian shook her head, "I've already forced myself to eat." Mental disgust had filled her stomach, and she knew that she had nothing in her stomach, but her body deceived her and said that she was full, and she vomited when she ate again.
Long Zixuan ignored her anymore and gulped down. He can be considered to be able to fight in the phantom base, and he is a brain, and he has never shown the slightest collapse and grief in front of people, which makes him faintly the leader of a group of people, and once he speaks in silence, they will answer. These people probably thought that Gu Lian was already Zhang Jing and Long Zixuan's "pet", so although some people would covet Gu Lian when they were tortured by death and were about to go crazy, no one really dared to do it.
However, a few people couldn't bear the pressure, so they got drunk and vented to each other. The name of the gladiatorial arena is really not bad, people are raised as beasts, amused, killed and played, and after being deprived of the attributes given by society layer by layer, it may be the essence of human beings that is revealed: animals.
After Gu Lian put down the meal, she couldn't look past it after all, and was silent to take care of the people who were unable to take care of themselves and fend for themselves. They didn't even have the strength to get up, and they groaned weakly. groaning, his eyes numb.
"Let's take a bite to eat. Gu Lian struggled to half-pick up the bloodied man on the ground, picked up a sleeve and wiped the dirt on his face, and fed him with chopsticks with her own hands. A foul smell came from the man's body continuously, Gu Lian couldn't help but hold her breath, but she smiled slightly, wanting to make him feel better.
The man's sloppy eyes gradually focused, he looked at Gu Lian, and gradually struggled to develop a clear clarity in his psychedelic expression, he suddenly trembled faintly, his fingers trembled like spasms, and his throat made a weak voice: "Ah...... Ah......h
She hurriedly changed her hand and gave him a sip of hot and sweet honey tea, he breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know if it was an illusion, his face was better, and his throat could make a sound, very weak: "I...... I don't want to die...... I don't want to die......" he cried out miserably, his chest heaving violently, his fingers grasping her arm, holding it with all his might, his hoarse throat making a breaking sound like a broken stone.
"It's okay, it's okay......" Gu Lian soothed his chest with her hand, letting him breathe. He gasped violently, gasping like a broken bellows, and the next moment it would collapse in all directions. He suddenly dissipated his anger, laughed again, his eyes were scattered and weird, he looked at her, his hand pounced on Gu Lian's neck like an eagle, and said frantically, "Whoever dares to kill me, I will kill him...... Ahh......hh I'm going to...... Kill you...... I'm going to live......"
Gu Lian might as well be like this, it was difficult to breathe when he was caught. However, after all, he had little strength, after Gu Lian got through the initial panic, she reached out and quickly seized the veins on his wrist, flicked her fingers, the man's body shook, and her hand couldn't help but let go, she took the opportunity to press his hands and let him listen to her: "Will live, will live, calm down, quiet down......" Her voice was gentle and slight, as long and gentle as coaxing a child to sleep.
The man listened, stopped struggling, suddenly let go, and fell into her arms again. He looked dazed, like a helpless child, his tall body curled up in the middle, his rough hands grasping the hem of her clothes, shaking his body to hide his voice and sobbing.
Gu Lian couldn't stop feeling sad.
When she took care of four or five people and returned to Long Zixuan exhausted and stinky, she heard him say coldly: "It's better for you to let him die simply than to stay in this kind of ghost place." ”
Gu Lian curled up on her knees like a child, put her hands on her knees, rested her chin on them, looked at her feet with her eyes in a daze, and asked, "Is there no way?"
"Life and death are not certain, and where can I have the spare energy to manage others. Long Zixuan was as hoarse as a stone mill, and his voice was as cold as that.
Gu Lian was stunned for a long time and closed her eyes: "Yes......"
She is so powerless. Atonement, charity, sympathy, arrogance, good and evil are no longer distinguishable, is she just asking for peace of mind? Is it liberating to give them a direct stab? Or, is the idea of wanting to do something for others extremely arrogant and rude?
"Let's take a break. Long Zixuan said lightly.
"Hmm. Gu Lian replied vaguely.
After a while, Long Zixuan felt a sinking in his arm, he opened his eyes, and saw that Gu Lian had already slept with even breathing, his palm-sized face was pale and dry, and the few taels of flesh that had been raised on his face had all been reduced, and under the cover of messy black hair, it was quiet and fragile, like a spinning top struggling to maintain balance, and the next moment it would stop, collapse, and fall.
He shifted her position to lean a little smoother, his eyes cold at the people she had just cared for. A meal doesn't change anything, they will be weakened when they should be weakened, and sadly, in this place, they won't even be given time to weaken to death.
***
On this day, the people in the cage did not know if the weather was clear and the wind was smooth, but the interior was warm as spring. In front of each of the bigwigs in the audience was a glass of wine from the gladiatorial arena, a delicious meal, and a local souvenir with their names written on it. Compared with the previous hustle and bustle, the atmosphere in the audience today was much lighter, and people talked and laughed softly, as if on the eve of leaving this paradise, the elegance and etiquette that had been swallowed by dogs were spit out and placed on their bodies.
This day is known as the last carnival, they enjoy the ultimate bloody feast, and they can also vote before the game to indicate which star player to die, as the last sacrifice, the fireworks of the carnival, and the gluttony before the end of the song.
In previous years, the voting area would be very fiercely contested, but this year, because Gu Lian, an unprecedented dark horse, was far ahead on the list, so he was selected without objection and became the sacrifice that everyone wanted.
"What does it feel like?" asked with a grin.
“…… It stinks. Gu Lian pinched her nose and said in great pain.
They're in the bathroom now, and unfortunately since it's a restroom used by the players, it's clear that there's no such thing as a women's restroom, and the hygiene inside is outrageously bad. Every time she comes in, she will lie on the edge of the sink and retch, and the people inside will scream at the sudden female creature.
Gu Lian said she was very depressed.
But now the people here have fallen asleep.
Looking at Gu Lian, who was panting and pale after retching, Jiang Ji disliked her: "Why are you so hypocritical." ”
"I have a better sense of smell, do you have any opinions?" Gu Lian glared at him.
"Don't dare, don't dare. Sauce shook his head hurriedly. Although several of them always looked down on Gu Lian's three-legged cat's kung fu, they were all secretly wary of her abilities. Two seconds is enough time for a master to die blindly. When he was blind, he reacted so much when she bandaged the boxing champion yesterday, wasn't it because he was injured at that time, and his usually well-hidden guard was suddenly exposed.
He suddenly looked up at the silently rotating monitor in the corner and smiled, and said casually: "You have been out for so long, do you think they are coming to you?"
Gu Lian smiled and bent her eyes: "I'm afraid so." ”
The two men glanced at each other, both with a hint of cunning.
The next moment, the lights went on and off twice, and suddenly it darkened.
The commotion in the hall could be faintly heard. People screamed in disbelief, there was a rush of running in the hallway, doors opened, and someone shouted, "What's going on?"
In the midst of the noise, Gu Lian and Jiang Ji laughed at each other, and the folded diode in their hands emitted a turquoise glow.
