Chapter 10: The So-Called Heroes
What exactly is a hero?
Zhao Zhi didn't know that he had once walked on the tip of the knife and did things that had nothing to do with justice, and the hero was a joke in his eyes.
But the word hero carries a lot of weight in Lux's heart.
She has never experienced any darkness since she was a child, and she has been influenced by American personal heroism, and she dreams of becoming a hero.
For her, a hero is the one who can save most people, and she decides to face danger alone, partly because of her yearning for heroes, and partly because she knows that she is the only one who has the ability to deal with the coming enemy out of thousands of survivors.
So, she wanted to attract the attention of the enemy and make the survivors safer.
Sima Yun and Zhou Xiaohan can't protect themselves yet, they still need to grow, and Zheng Shiyu should be able to protect them.
If she fails, at least the few people she cares about the most can save their lives, and that's enough.
However, when Lux told Zhao Zhi his plan with a serious face, Zhao Zhi smiled disapprenorantly, lit a cigarette, and said, "You, you're still too young." ”
Seeing Lux's puzzled eyes, Zhao Zhi educated her as a person who came over.
"Is it any good for you to be such a hero?"
Lux shook her head.
"Can you keep everyone else safe?"
Lux shook her head again.
"So, if disaster strikes and the survivors of the Valkyries find out you're not there, what will they think?"
Lux thought for a moment and said, "I see, let's go back together." ”
Zhao Zhi looked like a teachable child, patted Lux on the shoulder, and said: "The pressure you put on yourself is too great, and you can't afford the lives of so many people, so don't think about being a hero, personal heroism is unacceptable." ”
Lux nodded, shook her head again, and said, "Although what you said is correct, I will not give up trying to be a hero in my own right." ”
Zhao Zhi shrugged his shoulders, accidentally touched the wound, and grinned in pain, but still said: "As long as you are worthy of your heart, it is enough." ”
Lux didn't answer, and asked the two soldiers who were more lightly injured to help Zhao Zhi go back to the convoy first, while he sat down cross-legged, calmed down and controlled the spell, trying to communicate with Artoria.
Within moments, Lux received Artoria's response.
"Saber, how's it going over there?"
"Master, the enemies on this side have been cleared, but there are still some unarmed degenerates left......"
When Lux heard this, she chuckled in her heart, and secretly said that it was not good, the chivalry that Artoria believed in did not allow dealing with unarmed people, and it seemed that Artoria was now entangled.
But it is definitely not a good thing that the fallen are not removed, and the demon god will never be bored enough to give power to useless people, there must be a reason for him to do so, and Lux guesses that these people must have something to do with the vision in the sky.
Sure enough, Artoria continued, "Although the knighthood does not allow me to attack the unarmed, I have destroyed an altar here, and now I am rushing back. ”
"Okay, Saber get back as soon as possible, there's going to be something big going on outside."
While it would be unwise to leave the root cause behind, Klux had no absolute reason to let Artoria go against her principles.
"Master, I wonder if Emiya Shirou has returned?"
"No, what?"
"It's nothing, it's just a little relationship, after all, we are acquaintances."
Despite Artoria's words, Lux sensed that the relationship between the two was more than just acquaintances.
There is no basis, just intuition.
"We can't get in touch with that acquaintance of yours right now, so if he can't come back before you, we can't wait for him, the enemy could come at any time."
"Understood, master."
After communicating with Artoria, Lux returned to the team.
Since the stay time was not short, many zombies and creepers followed the smell to find them, but fortunately, the number was not large, and the soldiers who stayed behind could still bear it.
And now that Lux has returned, a small number of enemies are naturally not a problem, but now she can't use the power of the Eye of Death, and it is still more difficult to destroy the enemy as soon as possible.
So she asked someone to drive the convoy into the road in front of the train station, where it would not be attacked from the belly and would be easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It's just that the white bones there really scared some survivors.
Ignoring the feelings of the others, Lux stood in the center of the convoy to clean up the more and more zombies and creepers that were coming, the dark clouds in the sky rolled more and more violently, and from time to time there were lightning bolts on the tallest buildings, the scene was spectacular.
But half an hour later, Artoria still didn't show up, and Lux couldn't contact her, which made Lux feel a little irritable.
At this time, Zhao Zhi poked his head out of the car and shouted to Lux not far away: "There are more and more zombies, and the bullets are almost gone, so we can't wait any longer." ”
Lux's cleaning speed was also a little unable to keep up with the speed of the zombies, and she couldn't help but sigh, she believed in Artoria's strength, and the spell did not wear the news that Artoria was in danger, so quickly deal with the three creepers who were fighting with her, and Lux returned to the convoy and ordered the driver to drive to Ping'an University.
Due to the cancellation of the operation, there was no need to rush, and on the way they rescued several survivors on the way, and returned to Ping'an University without encountering any obstacles.
At this time, Shen Yi, who was once the governor of the province, was having a meeting with Zheng Shiyu and others, but it was to discuss the escape route after the convoy returned.
But before the meeting was held, the people who went out on a mission had already rushed back, which made them a little puzzled.
"There's no time left to evacuate."
Lux said to Zheng Shiyu.
When Zheng Shiyu heard this, he looked at the sky, nodded in agreement, and said, "Since it's too late, I can only take refuge on the spot, but now that there are so many people, there is no big enough building to accommodate them." ”
Lux also looked at the sky, and the magic seemed to be gushing out of the vortex as if it didn't cost money.
"There's no need to hide, magic of this scale, even if you hide in an anti-nuclear facility, it will be twisted into ashes." Lux said.
Zheng Shiyu was silent, and Shen Yi on the side was also silent, no one knew what form the upcoming disaster would take, and there was no trace of confidence in his heart.
"Still, I'll try to protect everyone, trust me."
Lux said firmly.
Shen Yi shook his head and said, "At the critical moment, protect yourself, your life is the greatest contribution to this world." ”
