When Shore woke up again, he found that it was already night.

Now he was lying on a comfortable and soft bed, and Ye Xiang was sitting on a chair next to the bed.

"After sleeping for so long, you finally woke up. Looking at Xiao Erye, who opened his eyes and was looking left and right with a puzzled look, he said with a smile.

Shore slowly tried to sit up on the bed, feeling still tired, but feeling much more relaxed than he had been when he had just finished casting the Word. He stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips: "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect to cause you trouble." ”

"I'm in trouble for what to say, if it weren't for you, we'd all have to die here. Ye Xiang got up as he spoke, poured a glass of water and handed it to Xiao Er, he looked at Xiao Er who was swallowing warm water and frowned and reminded: "You drink it slowly for me, be careful that it will choke you to death." ”

"By the way, what happened to the demon, Levi Anson, has you found his body?" said Shore, who had finished drinking the water, putting down his glass.

"Corpses? You must be kidding me. Ye Xiang said in a deliberately elongated exaggerated tone. "That move of yours is almost turning this place into a ruin within a ruin, do you expect us to find that guy's body? ”

"That's right. Shore stared at the tent above him and smiled noncommittally. "Under such an attack, I am afraid that even the body will not be found. ”

As they spoke, the door to the tent slammed open. Shore frowned, turned his head to look at the person who had entered, and instead smiled brightly. "It's you, Nicholas. ”

It was Nicholas who had a heavy plaster cast on his arm that came in, because the shoulder blade and hand bone of his right arm had been damaged to varying degrees due to Levi Anson's sneak attack, and now he could only come to them with an arm wrapped in layers of gauze.

"I thought you'd hang up, sir. Nicholas teasingly sat on the edge of Shore's bed, "I didn't expect your life to be so hard and actually survive." ”

Shore stretched out a hand from the quilt and pinched his thigh vigorously, and the painful Nicholas jumped up from the bed, jumping up and down like a stupid bear, causing them to burst into laughter. "If my life weren't so hard, how could I be the captain of your gang of hooligans. ”

Nicholas smiled evilly and said, "Yes, yes, the captain and we are just different. It's earth-shattering to die, how can you be so tired to death by yourself, just like an old Chinese saying, there is no ploughed field, only tired cows, you two think my metaphor is quite vivid, right?"

Listening to the cold jokes told by Nicholas, Xiao Er and Ye Xiang couldn't help but laugh. "Don't laugh, don't laugh. As funny as I admit my jokes, you shouldn't be laughing so much, especially Captain, don't be laughing and laughing and going back on your back. Despite what Nicholas said from the side, he was already panting with laughter.

"Alright, alright. Don't laugh anymore. "You're probably here more than just to tell us jokes, Nicholas, do you have anything important to report to me?"

Nicholas wiped his face, and then tried to suppress his smile and said, "Naturally, there is a very important situation to report to you. The traitor Thomas has been captured by us, and it's clear that he is ready to flee while the riots are taking place. But unfortunately, he met the other team members who happened to arrive just in time, and now he can be planted in our hands. ”

Shore's eyes became beast-like, and he tried to keep his angry tone as low as he could, but he could still feel his voice trembling with hatred. "Bring him here now, and I will see what will make him willing to betray his countrymen. ”

Nicholas looked at Shore, who was already shivering, nodded solemnly, then got up and walked out of the tent.

A few minutes later, Bolton and Raven escorted Thomas Wayne, who had been handcuffed, to Shore.

At this time, Xiao Er had already gotten up and sat on the edge of the bed, and when he saw Thomas coming in, Ye Xiang, who was standing beside him, even felt that even if Xiao Er was wearing a hospital gown, he could strangle this traitor in one go.

Shore watched coldly as the traitor slowly walked up to him, his tone was equally cold and unwarm: "Thomas Wayne, you have been charged with intent to exterminate humanity, espionage, murder, do you admit to these crimes?"

Thomas just shook his head indifferently: "Don't talk about those useless, Captain Shore." If I want to judge, I will naturally have a judge to do it, and it is too big to let someone like you do what a judge does. ”

His indifferent tone obviously angered everyone in the room, Raven, who was standing behind him, kicked Thomas in the knee, and he knelt down in front of Xiao Er and Ye Xiang in an instant, Raven said in a tone of extreme disgust: "You betrayed your own people, and now you still have the heart to tell some useless jokes here, don't you feel that you need to repent at all? Seriously, a garbage like you doesn't even deserve to stand in front of us." ”

"Repentance?ha......" Thomas, who fell to his knees, let out a creepy laugh. "Do I need to repent?" he looked up slowly, the false enthusiasm and flattery on his face long gone, replaced by a hateful and distorted expression. "No, I don't need to repent. I have seen the future, I have seen what the future will bring, and all of this I have done is for ultimate salvation. ”

"Nonsense!" Ye Xiang scolded him, "Do you think that you betrayed your compatriots for salvation and killed people for redemption, do you think we will believe these words?"

"You are the ones who are really stupid and foolish, and you who don't know what fate is will never understand me. Thomas's eyes were full of malice. "Speaking of those who know their future destiny, there is one person you should know too, Captain Shore. You should be familiar with the name Kane Mait, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shore felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he grabbed Thomas by the collar and lifted him up in front of him. "Kane, did you say you saw Kane Mait, who had died in battle, tell me what happened, what the hell do you know!?answer me, you bastard!" Shore shouted hysterically.

"Don't be in a hurry, Captain. Sometimes fate is so inscrutable, but fascinating. "The future has been prophesied, and humanity will be destroyed, but what I am pursuing is the true way of salvation." As for your good brother Kane, I think you'll see him again. Because you and him," Thomas whispered, leaning his mouth into Shore's ear, "are destined to fight each other to the death, fool." ”

Shore punched Thomas in the face, knocking him straight to the ground. "Don't use that tone and talk to me about the future. You don't deserve to mention the future of humanity at all, and if we don't kill you now, we just think you're still useful. He then pulled him up from the ground with both hands, "Tell me what the mystery of the prophecy is, tell me why I am fighting him who is dead, tell me why humanity must be destroyed, you bastard!" Shore roared angrily.

Thomas, though bloodied from Shore's blow, looked up fearlessly. "I said it, and you'll understand when the time comes...... Uh......" Before he could finish his sentence, puffs of blood poured out of his mouth, and at the same time a sharp dagger appeared at his throat.

Shore watched in amazement as Thomas's body fell limply, while Bolton, who was standing behind him, drew his wrist sword from his neck with a cold look in his eyes. The eyes of everyone present were fixed on Niton who had made the move, and their eyes were full of disbelief and panic.

"Don't stare at me like that. Noticing everyone's gaze, Bolton took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the blood on his wrist sword that had not yet dried. "It's impossible for this guy to tell us the intel we want, rather than hear and continue to talk nonsense here. It's better to just shut him up. ”

Raven was the first to recover from his shock, and he yelled at Bolton, "How can you just kill him?" Even if he doesn't say it now, if we take him back to headquarters, maybe we'll get some clues. ”

Bolton didn't even stop what he was doing, but only glanced up symbolically, and then lowered his head and continued to polish his sword. "As I said, he won't say anything valuable to us, so it doesn't hurt to keep him alive or let him die. ”

"What do you think of human life?" said Raven angrily. "Even if he is worthless, he deserves a real trial, not to kill him like you did, you are so cold-blooded. ”

Bolton finally stopped what he was doing, and he slowly raised his head and scanned everyone present with a cold look. "I didn't join your team to work for you, I have my own ideas and my own methods. If you are not satisfied, you can ask the headquarters to transfer me, but never question the right or wrong of what I am doing. With that, he threw down the crumpled tissue, which had been stained with dried blood, and strode out of the tent, leaving only a stunned crowd behind.

"What are we going to do now?" Ye Xiang said, turning his head to Shore. "The only human witness is also dead, and the dead can't speak, so we can't hold our own people to blame, right?"

Shore's brow furrowed, and after a while he said in a helpless tone, "Of course we can't hold our own people to blame. What's more, although that guy did something reckless, he still had some sense. Let this be the end of this matter, and no one present will mention it again, and I will trouble you to dispose of this corpse. ”

Ye Xiang and Raven both agreed with Shore's approach, and they silently lifted Thomas's body, which had begun to stiffen and chill, and moved out.

Looking at the dim and quiet room, Shore began to talk to himself again. He was skeptical, if not entirely convinced, of what Thomas had just said. If everything he says is true, then he must be at war with his dead brother, and will the future of humanity really be as completely destroyed as he says?

Shore felt that his newly recovered body was filled with indescribable exhaustion, but he felt that he could not rest. "If I rested, what would the world be like tomorrow?" for the first time, he felt lost about the purpose of his battle, and he lay on his bed staring at the crumbling chandelier above his head, muttering to himself, "If the destruction of humanity is really the salvation of the future, then what is the point of us fighting for it......
