Chapter 16 If you can't let go
In nature on Earth, the wolf is a united, cunning, and ferocious animal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the wildland of another world, a wolf-like monster is also a social creature, and although it is at the bottom of the food chain, it relies on its unity and superior group intelligence to cause headaches for the hunters of that world.
Because they will gather together in danger, or scatter to surround the hunters, and the result of the confrontation between the two sides is either you die or I die.
Shirou killed more than a dozen of these monsters last night, and the refuge point is bound to suffer a very terrible attack today.
Of course, these are questions that all the survivors, including Shirou, are not aware of.
After being informed by Zheng Yi of the dangers in the outside world, Lin Xuan had been fidgeting, and the sword hanging over his head tormented the young leader, and after thinking about it, Lin Xuan decided to personally patrol the outermost corridor.
The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, and it should be the most intense time of the day, and the visibility outside the window is even less than 100 meters.
This made Lin Xuan suddenly realize that his nervous patrol was only in vain, only a hundred meters, even with the running speed of a human being, it could pass within 20 seconds, and even if it was discovered, it was only 20s ahead of schedule.
20s more time for fear and despair.
So he stood by the window and watched the rain lap on the glass trying to calm down.
Before the apocalypse, Lin Xuan likes rainy days very much, because the gloomy sky will give him the illusion of being out of everyone's sight, and there is a desire to return to himself easily.
Since he was a child, he has been the focus of the whole family, the best of the younger generation, the pride in the eyes of his parents, and the model in the mouth of his elders.
From academic performance to fist and foot kung fu, he has done the best, always the first in the class, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is an absolute idol in the eyes of his classmates, yearning for but jealous of the existence.
He is so good, but he is just working silently in a place that others can't see, and he has put in a hundred times more effort than others, and has fulfilled the expectations of fellow relatives for himself.
Even in this desperate predicament, he is still the leader, even if he is afraid in his heart, he still rushes to the front, the first warrior to face the unknown zombies, and the spiritual pillar of the survivors who can never rely on others and never show their weakness.
However, in the last days, all this is not necessary for him, and even foolish.
"It's not what I want, I don't know when I'm going to die, death will take away everything, take away the meaning of my efforts." Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and rubbed his reflection in the window, the young man who seemed to be very strong, very good and handsome.
"Hard work is meaningful." A voice appeared beside Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan looked back and saw that it was a white-haired young man.
"Even if the soul of a human being eventually returns to the galaxy, death takes away everything he has gained through his efforts, and all the efforts he has made will be seen by the heavens and will be engraved on the throne of the Heroic Spirit." I don't know when, Shirou came to Lin Xuan's side, and there was some kind of power hidden in his calm tone.
Lin Xuan swore that he had never seen this white-haired young man, this kind of tone that seemed to contain countless stories and countless feelings, but finally turned into a flat tone, as long as he heard it once, he would never forget it, it was the tone used by his grandfather, who had created the glory of the family alone, and had passed away.
Before Grandpa passed away, he said the last words of this old man to him in this tone.
That sentence was deeply hidden in his memory.
"It's only now that I realize how ridiculous the so-called status is. Lin'er, if one day you are tired, let it go, let go of all the halos, honors, and all the shackles imposed on you by the world, as your true self, just for yourself. ”
Shirou's tone evoked Lin Xuan's childhood memories, maybe he was too young to understand that sentence at that time, but now that he is in it, he thinks about it, and he already knows it in his heart, but he finds that he can't let it go at all.
Lin Xuan sighed silently in his heart, to this day, the burden, honor and pride brought to him by his position are now impossible for him to remove.
After sorting out his mood, Lin Xuan put a confident smile on his face again, looked directly into Shirou's eyes, and asked, "This classmate, are you?" ”
"I'm not your classmate, and you don't need to know who I am, because soon, you won't be able to care about that." Shirou turned his head and looked out the window at the darkness out of sight.
"They're coming. I can feel it. ”
"They? Could it be ......" Lin Xuan's eyes widened, and at the same time, he wondered why the person in front of him knew the news of the monster, which was only known to him and Zheng Yi, and he couldn't tell the other survivors in order to prevent panic.
"You know? Presumably the director knew about it. Looks like we're underestimating you. Shirou said, and two short knives appeared out of thin air in his hands. It was his favorite weapon, the Cadre, the Mo Evil, the artifact forged by the legendary forging grandmaster with his life.
"Go back, I can't guarantee that I will be able to take care of your life in battle." Shirou said, already holding out his right hand, the blade facing the east, which was the direction in which the sun was rising.
"No...... I'm the student council president, how can I escape......" As soon as the words fell, the glass of the window on the right hand side of the place where the two were fighting suddenly burst.
The monster of its shape, which was difficult to see with the naked eye, flew towards Lin Xuan, who did not react, and the claws glowing with cold light had even touched Lin Xuan's precious suit.
"Dangerous...... Dangerous... Dangerous! Dangerous! Dangerous! Lin Xuan was not without reaction, but his physical movements could not keep up with the speed of his thoughts at all, and he could only repeat desperate cries countless times in his heart.
"Help me!"
An arc of countless sword lights, Shirou dismembered the hungry monster one by one at a speed that the naked eye could not capture at all. The speed was so fast that the monster's flame of life was completely extinguished, and he didn't even realize that he was about to die.
Didn't even feel pain.
"So hurry back and organize your men to maintain order and protect the survivors."
Shirou backhanded Lin Xuan, who was falling, patted his broken sleeve and said.
"They need you, and you can't fall yet."
Lin Xuan's face was pale, and the fear of death made it difficult for him to stand, obviously it was only for a moment, but it seemed like a century had passed, desperate and long.
"You...... You ......" Lin Xuan looked at the remnants of the demonic beast on the ground, and then looked at the white-haired young man who was splashed with a few drops of blue blood on his body, but had a calm face, and seemed to have some answers in his heart, so he reluctantly settled down and said, "Then, I will leave it to you here." ”
After speaking, Lin Xuan tidied up his clothes and reluctantly pretended to be calm and walked towards the hall where the survivors gathered.
"It seems that my so-called efforts, the strength brought by the so-called honor and halo that I think about, are so insignificant." Lin Xuan glanced at his mouth self-deprecatingly, and the burden on his body seemed to be much lighter.
"I regret that I haven't been in love...... I knew that when the little whisper next door was chasing me, I promised that she was a good girl. ”
Time cannot be turned back, the lost youth cannot be recovered, and regret cannot be returned to the past.
"So should I think about falling in love in my last life? Like that particular blonde girl. ”
......
The monsters act collectively, and there is not only one monster that attacks, but the three of Lux, Sima Yu and Shen Kuo, who are guarding the other side, have already fought against the two monsters at the same time.
It can only be said that no matter how weak the heroic spirit is, it is far better than ordinary people, and the girl still follows the standard configuration during the rescue, giving the two weapons and armor, and she hides behind to concentrate on outputting magic power, and the injured heroic spirit core is no longer able to obey the girl's control as she wants.
The battle is one-sided, even if you use sharp weapons and solid defenses, even Sima Yu has a slashing attribute, you can't defeat the monster, you can only barely defend.
Thought they couldn't keep up with the monster's movements at all.
And the girl can't do it at all, once she goes into battle in person, she will inevitably release a larger flow of magic, which may cause the core to collapse and make herself disappear.
So I can only pray for support until Shirou's rescue.
......
Other sides of the corridor were also attacked by monsters, and in an instant, more than 10 patrol members were bitten to death by monsters, including three police officers armed with firearms.
The rest of the monsters even ran towards the place where the survivors had gathered.
They're empty......
They..... Need to kill!
Can't wait!
The situation is critical.
