Chapter 440: The Drowned
Listening to these sounds that rose and fell in the turbulence, Zhong Wuyan, who was floating with the waves, felt that his heart was full of knives one after another. She also despairs, she also hates, she also wants to cry. But at this time, she heard Er Fat's cry in pain, her eyes moved out, and she saw her struggling in the water like Er Fat going crazy, crying bitterly, and when he was most desperate, his stutter was actually gone.
"Why don't we have any money? Why do we never take other people's money! Why do we have to return all the money to everyone after we rob the government! ”
"Do they have one of them who cares if we live or die? People's hearts are harder than the other, why don't we want money instead of being fools who help others! I'd rather ask for money! I wouldn't die here if I asked for money! "I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
The second fat cry pierced Zhong Wuyan's heart like a sharp knife, didn't these words seem to be directed at her? She struggled to turn through the turbulence, and turned her gaze to the stone village brothers who were trapped in the water in all directions, and saw the desperate gaze and anguished faces in their eyes. She turned her head sharply again, and saw that Da Hei and Sangouzi in the distance were also in the same pain in the water, and their eyes were all the same despair - the kind of regret that she had believed in love and righteousness and disdained money for a moment, Zhong Wuyan felt a huge sense of guilt pressing on her weak body.
Blame her for everything, although no one said it, but she knew that she could understand the despair in their eyes, and everyone was actually blaming her...... Oh, yes! If it weren't for her stubbornness and disregard for money, so many people would not have been able to follow her to live without money. If she hadn't given back the money she had gotten back to the townspeople every time, they wouldn't have been without money in the first place. If it weren't for her, they wouldn't all die here!
It's all because of her stubbornness, her stupidity. Why was she so disdainful of money before? Why do you have to be so arrogant and tough? She has never taken a penny, she has never had money, so until now, she has not had a penny to take out to save people. And because of that, they're all going to die here! The water of the Xuan River still poured into the town, churning the rushing river, mercilessly sweeping people one by one, and drowning even their despair.
And in the turbulence, Er Fat still howled like crazy, his water nature was actually not good, a wave fell, and his entire 300-pound body sank under the water, and never floated again. Up to now, Da Hei is still upright, he desperately swims against the current, trying to save Er Fat and the other sinking brothers, but the turbulent river has pushed his last bit of affection farther and farther.
Sangouzi's water nature should be the best among everyone, but he looked at the brothers who sank one by one, and Zhong Wuyan, who lost his mind, actually stopped swimming, and quietly looked at the big wave that was approaching, and before the wave came down, he sank into the water by himself.
Zhong Wuyan, it seems that only Zhong Wuyan is left in the end. She lost her mind, watching her brothers sink into the turbulence one by one, watching her family members die in this water one by one, and her whole body was deeply trapped in the fact that she has always treated everyone as family! They are lonely people, and they all regard each other as the most important thing to rely on! But they ...... They're all going to die here, because of her! Because she has no money! So Zhong Wuyan didn't struggle, she just let the turbulence roll her heavy body and drift, and then when the surging waves fell in the air, she sank into the water and never came out......
The flood lasted for a day, and the raging waters of the Xuan River flooded all the life of Chenhe Town, leaving only a bleak ocean. - When she woke up, it was three days later. Zhong Wuyan didn't think that she would be able to wake up, but the ill-intentioned stroke of fate made her, who didn't want to live the most, survive this catastrophe. It was still noon when she opened her eyes, and she lay stiffly on the mountain pass in the distance, her soaked body scorched hot by the scorching sun. She struggled to turn her flickering gaze, but instead of seeing a trace of Chen Hezhen, she saw three figures standing beside her.
The excessive consumption of physical strength and the long period of not eating made her no longer have the strength to be surprised by the scene in front of her, but she could see the three figures clearly with her squinting eyes. A man covered in armor, a swordsman in strange costumes, and a man in a white cloak. "The water of the Xuan River has been flooded for three days, and you have survived - the great calamity and not dying must have the meaning of your survival." The man in the white cloak spoke, in a young and deep voice.
"Tell me your name, woman." "My name is ...... Zhong Wuyan. Zhong Wuyan subconsciously wanted to say Zhong Da Hammer Zhong Wuyan, but after his numb consciousness was dulled for a while, he only said "Zhong Wuyan" after all
"Do you know who is behind the flood in the Xuan River?" The man in the white cloak changed his mind and asked this most sensitive question directly.
"Yes." Hearing this question, Zhong Wuyan's calm gaze suddenly changed, becoming extremely fierce, "Xu Fu! "It's easy to know." The man in the white cloak smiled silently and said suddenly, "Now I tell you, in this flood, except for you, no one survived in Chenhe Town. Zhong Wuyan's pupils were silent, she thought of it, she didn't have to think about it to know, such a big flood, no one would definitely survive. But when she heard this, she still felt a pain as if she was suffocating. "Do you want revenge? Go and kill Xu Fu to take revenge. The man in the white cloak didn't give Zhong Wuyan more time to calm down, and asked concisely and smoothly.
"Report!" Zhong Wuyan trembled and spit out the word, without thinking. Although her body was still stiff on the ground, her voice was unexpectedly firm. "Heh, the strong people who survive the catastrophe must have taken revenge as their lifelong wish, and I really didn't mistake you." The man in the white cloak smiled lightly. Then he reached out and uncovered his white cloak, allowing Zhong Wuyan to see his young face under his purple and silver hair. "Zhong Wuyan, I am the prince of the thirty-seventh generation of the Qin Chu royal family! Come with me, and with us, you can fulfill your only long-cherished wish now! "The only long-cherished wish?" Zhong Wuyan stared at Ying Zheng, who seemed to be less than twenty years old, and said in a sluggish voice. "Kill Xu Fu! Come with us, and you will be able to kill Xu Fu to take revenge! Ying Zheng said firmly in a still young voice, and then asked rhetorically, "Isn't this your only wish now?" "I have two wishes right now." Zhong Wuyan was still lying on the ground weakly, but stared at Ying Zheng Shen - "Emperor Ying Zheng agreed to my wish. As long as I follow him, when he achieves his own imperial hegemony, he will give me gold coins that can fill a building! ”
"A building's gold!" Zhong Wuyan's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he finished the last sentence heavily, and then he sank. Under the silent night, in the ruins of the jungle hinterland, Lian Po and Zhong Wuyan were still lying in the cracked ground like that, panting slowly, and no one said a word. The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Zhong Wuyan didn't expect to say so much to Lian Po. She had never told anyone her story about Shizhai and Chenhe Town, and she never thought that she would tell anyone, but tonight, against this hard-hitting opponent who had only known each other for a day, she told her past. But in fact, the reason why she never said it was because no one had ever cared about her past. Ever since Da Hei, Erfat, and Sangou all drowned in that big water, no one has cared about her anymore. Naturally, no one cares about her past, what it looks like.
She remembered that when she was in Xianyang Palace, Arthur also wanted to ask about her past, but out of respect for her, he didn't ask in the end. And now, this man who fought with her asked straight in the head, but let her say it.
So that she can finally speak. "Then ...... you" Lian Po looked up at the night sky, and after being silent for a long time, he finally spoke up slowly and asked, "Do you really like it?" Of course I like it! Why don't you like it! Zhong Wuyan didn't hesitate at all, and opened his mouth to come out. She also tilted her head and her face to the night sky. "Money is much more valuable than people." Lian Po didn't reply, just stared at him, and after exhaling a long breath, he said, "Why are you so cocooned and let the past hold on to yourself?" "Bullshit." Zhong Wuyan raised her eyebrows and said indignantly, "What is cocooning and self-restraint, Lao Tzu suddenly realized!" "If it weren't for that big flood, Lao Tzu really didn't know that money could be so important!" "It's all retribution, damn retribution......" Zhong Wuyan said fiercely, but his eyes were unnaturally moist.
Lian Po Ning frowned, and he didn't know how to comfort Zhong Wuyan, compared to facing such a sad past, it was not something that could be broken in a few words. So he could only sigh silently, and then lay next to Zhong Wuyan and Zhong Wuyan like this, which can be regarded as the company of friends. But at this moment, a few faint sounds came from the distant sky, making Lian Po suddenly notice a trace of strangeness.
"Hey, did you hear anything?" Lian Po stared slightly, and suddenly asked. "What's the sound?" Zhong Wuyan was obviously still immersed in the emotions of reminiscence, and he didn't notice anything wrong at all, and he was only surprised when he heard Lian Po's sudden question. "Listen carefully, it seems that something is coming from a distance." Lian Po said again, his voice was very serious. Zhong Wuyan blinked his eyes, and then listened attentively to the movements around him with his two ears.
At first, it was as silent as in the night, and there was no superfluous sound in my ears except for some subtle cicadas and birds. But gradually, Zhong Wuyan also heard a few strange muffled voices echoing in the distant sky, so his gaze narrowed unnaturally. "Do you hear that? What was that? Lian Po asked. I don't know, I've never heard such a voice. Zhong Wuyan said directly, "But...... It's kind of like the sound of some animal......"
"Scream? You think. Lian Po still asked uncertainly, because in his cognition, it is difficult for ordinary animal sounds to travel far. Well, it's like a cry coming from far, far away. On the battlefield where the wind and sand subsided, the dark red figures of the nineteen corpse demons were hidden in the bleak night, brewing bloody killing intent in the silence.
After the Hundred Beast Legion and the Praetorian Guard all withdrew, this reckless battlefield seemed even bigger and empty, and the scarred Xiang Yu was standing in the open, as the only living life here, facing the nineteen crazy corpse demons. Almost all of his armor was torn and broken, and there were deep wounds on his left shoulder and waist, and other small scars covered his body. However, Xiang Yu calmed down, attracted the demon blue energy in his body to seal the blood veins at the wound, and then clenched the Decepticon blade in his hand without fear. There was no need to doubt that it was the sound of the enemy's movements, and the nineteen corpses were all madly attacking him, and in a moment all kinds of bloody and crazy attacks would come at him.
But he raised his head calmly, the blue hair of any messy lion swayed, and the fierce eyes of a lion were majestic in the night, and he would not sit back and wait for nineteen corpse demons to pounce on him. "Overlord Rush!" Xiang Yu lowered his body suddenly, released the demon blue with his feet pressed on the ground, and then the whole majestic figure rushed up, like a fierce lion, violently impacting the person in front of him in an instant, there was no other living thing for the corpse demons to bite and eat, the corpse demons had no resources to heal and resurrect, Xiang Yu killed them one and died, just like the previous corpse demon.
Thinking like this, Xiang Yu tightened his grip on the Decepticon Blade in his hand even more, staring at the corpse demon in front of him without any hesitation. But at this moment, something terrible happened - when Xiang Yu was still opening his mouth to release the "Overlord Roar" to suppress the corpse demons, suddenly a fierce murderous aura struck from behind him, and he who was releasing his skills couldn't turn around and make a countermeasure at all! Immediately after, a cracked mouth with only half a tooth suddenly bit on Xiang Yu's left arm, and dark red corpse blood trickled down into the wound, triggering a burst of intense burning pain, instantly forcing Xiang Yu to stop the attack of the "Overlord Roar".
Xiang Yu frowned violently, and his eyes moved to the left and immediately saw the corpse demon that bit his left hand - it was the corpse demon that had been broken by him before! It actually bit Xiang Yu's left arm with the only remaining sharp teeth, and the dark red corpse blood trickled down the wound and flowed all the way to the Decepticon blade clenched in his left hand, reflecting a terrifying luster.
"Damn it!" Xiang Yu scolded fiercely in his heart. He really didn't expect this corpse demon to attack him - its neck was about to break, and it was obviously a dying body, but it could bite Xiang Yu fiercely at this most critical time. Without any hesitation, Xiang Yu clenched his teeth and stretched out his empty right hand suddenly.
