Chapter 1303: Divide the Spoils
Everyone's breath froze at the moment of gunshot.
Everyone's eyes widened as they watched as the man with an unusually resolute expression decisively pulled the trigger, without fear or hesitation.
The sound of the bullet casings clanging to the ground was so crisp that the sound of bouncing and smashing on the ground made everyone's hearts contract.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the pistol shook, Rom's head shook, and his temples splattered with bright blood.
"No......" Anna let out a heart-rending scream, and sat down on the ground with her fists clenched, her whole body seemed to be crushed by the sound of a gunshot.
The Twelve Saints, who were facing away from Rohm, suddenly turned to look at Rom almost at the same time, and all of them bowed their heads and knelt on one knee, one palm covering their hearts.
Rom's eyes quickly became blank, the gun in his hand 'clicked' to the ground, and his slightly swaying body seemed to subconsciously want to stand firm, but after all, the body lost control, and the straight body in the setting sun fell to the ground.
The six men in strange masks watched with burning eyes as Roma's body fell.
Lin Zixian's lips were also tight, and he looked up at the sky, thinking of a figure who had been shot twice and ran to relieve everyone with someone......
He had a chance to stop Rohm, but he was deceived by Rohm's previous words, and thought that Rohm had another plan, who would want to ......
The clouds, who had already flashed away, walked back to Lin Zixian's side, looking at the fallen Rom, and sometimes it was a blessing to not understand the language.
Arnold and Ralph were stunned, they really couldn't imagine that someone like Rohm would commit suicide!
In fact, who would have thought that Roma would do this. Even Lin Zixian couldn't imagine that a man who could get to this day and don't know how many ups and downs he has gone through, no matter how hard and difficult he is, he should be able to face a qiΔ strongly, how could he end his life by suicide?
What's more, Rom himself has not yet reached a dead end, whether it is walking with the woods, or walking with Arno and Ralph, he can survive, there is no need to do this, this kind of ending is really unexpected by everyone, neither Roma's friends nor Roma's enemies can imagine.
At least when Rohm led the Twelve Saints Seiya to meet Arno and Ralph. Lin Zixian can also be sure that Rohm has no intention of admitting defeat at all. Not to mention suicide.
The tens of thousands of people who were still raising their arms and chanting just now were also completely silent, and Rom touched their hearts with his own blood, proving that he had no selfish intentions with his death, and making the cheeks of those who had accused Rom before burn. Shut up completely.
Anna, who was already crying so much that she couldn't make a sound. Tears streamed down his face and he got up. Stumbling into the kneeling Twelve Saints, he knelt and hugged Rom, holding Rom's blood-covered head in his arms.
Shaking his head and choking, he said, "Why?" Why are you doing this? You have a chance to leave. Why? Why give up! β
No one in the audience spoke, and everyone quietly watched the scene in front of them.
Anna, who had been crying with Rom face to face, suddenly raised her head, raised a hand to wipe away her tears, and tried not to let herself cry again.
She actually stood up with Roma's body in her arms, facing tens of thousands of people, and wherever she looked, tens of thousands of people dared not look at each other, either looking away or lowering their heads.
"Take Johnny with you, let's go!" Anna spoke up calmly.
The Twelve Saints, who knelt on one knee, immediately stood up, and someone carried Johnny's body on their shoulders.
"Stop!" Arnold and Ralph stood up almost at the same time.
Anna, who was holding Roma in her arms, turned to look at Ralph and Arnold, and said with a blank face, "Johnny's gloves for them." β
One of the Saints immediately removed the mechanical gloves from Johnny's arms and threw them on the ground.
Arno and Ralph came in person, but they didn't just want a pair of gloves, as soon as the two of them gestured, their men immediately rushed out and surrounded Anna and the others.
Anna's eyes looked at Lin Zixian, and the two guns in Lin Zixian's hands were already on Arnold and Ralph's heads.
The six people wearing strange masks all quickly pulled out their pistols and loaded them, and the muzzles of the guns pointed at the surrounding areas blocked Lin Zixian's surroundings, and at the same time, the small microphone holding the collar in one hand made a sound.
Outside, a large group of black armed elements rushed over with light and heavy weapons, and more than 20 helicopter gunships quickly flew into the air and hovered, all with their tails cocked, and their mounted cannons were also aimed at the American and French troops below.
Several fighter jets whizzed through the air.
"Caesar! Do you really want to turn the other cheek with us? Arnold looked at Lin Zixian and asked.
The twin guns in Lin Zixian's hands were on their heads, "I'll only say it once, let your people stand back and let them go!" β
Arnold and Ralph glanced at each other, and waved their hands as a last resort, and the American and French troops surrounding Anna and the others immediately got out of the way.
Anna, who was hugging Rom, nodded to Lin Zixian in thanks, then turned to face the tens of thousands of people and walked directly towards them.
Tens of thousands of people immediately crowded on both sides, and wherever Anna went, the crowd silently and automatically separated, making way for a passage that led to the building of the command center.
Rom's arms drooped, swaying slightly as Anna walked, and from time to time drops of blood fell from the ground, dripping all the way.
Anna didn't squint, didn't look at the crowd around her, stared straight ahead, held Rom's corpse and led the Twelve Saints Seiya forward, climbed the steps of the command center building, and disappeared into the building step by step.
The group entered the basement where thirteen sets of armor were originally parked, and there was also a basement in the basement, and the Twelve Saints opened it and led Anna down the steps.
There is an underground passage, and on two steel rails leading into the dark depths is a fusiform metal object, a bit like a submarine, which is what Rohm calls an escape 'speedboat'.
A Saint Seiya opened the metal door lifted, and it was the first time Anna had seen something so strange.
The Saint Seiya who invited her in explained: "Madam, this is a new product of the scientific research base, it is not yet mature, and it has shortcomings that are difficult to overcome for the time being, but it is no problem to use it for escape, so Mr. put it here for backup." β
The group entered the 'speedboat', and the Saint Seiya driving the 'speedboat' pressed a button, and the pulley holding the 'speedboat' below immediately rolled on the steel rails, sliding into the dark depths with the 'speedboat'.
Anna, who was sitting on the soft chair and helping Rom close his eyes, asked aloud, "Why did Rom let you take off your mecha, you should be able to leave safer in your mecha?" β
A Saint Seiya replied: "There is a special setting on the mecha, if we don't set it when we take off the mech, once it exceeds three hours, the energy stored in the mecha will explode, no one can get it, no matter who wants to snatch it, Mr. will make them pay!" This should be the only way to go when there is no way out......"
"Caesar!" Anna was startled and reached out for her phone, only to find that there was no cell phone signal.
One of the Saints Seiya said, "Don't worry, Madame, Sir said when we asked us to take off our armor that if Caesar helped us leave, Caesar would be fine." The gentleman said that Caesar would definitely help us leave, so he would definitely be able to figure it out. β
"So......" Anna looked at Rom's lying corpse, estimating what Rom had left behind, otherwise how could she guarantee that Caesar would be able to figure it out.
The 'speedboat' rushed into the icy waters through the underground passage, diving into the depths of the sea like a ghost, and the Saint Seiya driving the 'speedboat' picked up a remote control and pressed it.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the command center building of the Watson base collapsed with the sound of explosions.
In the smoke and dust, tens of thousands of people in the square panicked, but they were forced by the surrounding guns to dare not run around.
Lin Zixian's gaze at the collapsed building suddenly shifted to a pile of mechanical armor on the ground, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately realized that there was something wrong with these armors.
He heard RΓΆhm say with his own ears that there was an escape 'speedboat' under the building of the command center, and the explosion of the building was obviously to cover the escape of Anna and the others, so as to avoid being locked in the direction of Anna and the others in the first place, and thus being caught up.
Since you don't want to die with Anna and the others, why should you let everyone take off their armor and put on their armor to escape, wouldn't it be more certain to escape?
Even if he hadn't heard what RΓΆm had said to Anna before, the reason was the same, the explosives that blew up the building had obviously been prepared a long time ago, and the temporary installation did not react so quickly. Since he has already left his back hand, it is even more impossible for this armor to be given away, and what is left behind is really too strange.
The old gypsy who had taken the lead in accusing Roma came forward to petition again, pointing to the collapsed building and saying: "The culprits have been punished, we are all innocent, and I beg the international community to rescue us from leaving." β
Lin Zixian glanced at him indifferently, there was an unconcealable disgust in his eyes, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, put away his gun, turned to the old guys and said, "Inform everyone to retreat, let's go!" β
"Caesar!" Arnold shouted.
Ralph pushed the old man who was in the way aside, and looked at Lin Zixian expectantly.
Lin Zixian looked back and saw that the guns of the French army and the American army were already eyeing each other, and no one dared to snatch the armor on the ground first, because if they didn't do well, they would lose both.
In the current situation, it is obvious that Lin Zixian, who can control this place at this time, needs to be the referee, as long as Lin Zixian favors whoever wins.
"I'm not interested in this thing!" Lin Zixian looked at the left and right sides and said indifferently: "Since you want it, I don't want to favor anyone, both sides take half of it, is there a problem?" β
Of course, there is a problem, but the shape has reached this point, and there is no choice for the time being, no matter who takes it all, the other party will have to work hard if he can't go back to make a difference. So both sides were cautious and vigilant against each other, and each sent someone to take six sets of armor and a mechanical glove, and sent heavy troops to protect them like treasures......)
