Chapter Thirty-Eight: Friends (The End of the Iron City)
City Gate –
The dense Kabane poured into the residential area like a tidal wave.
Fortunately, the timely arrival of the Sifang Chuan calamus and others controlled Kabane on the periphery.
But there were too many of the Kabanes, and the blood of the dead residents attracted the Kabanes, who had been wandering outside the walls, to attack the defense line in waves.
"Bastard!"
Ikoma stood next to Nameless and Sugari, and after listening to what the two had to say, his expression was full of anger.
The poignant scene on the outer street made Ikoma clench his fists even more, and he wanted to turn around and go to the council chamber to pull Wood out.
"It can't go on like this, we can't stop so many Kabanes on our own."
Jiuzhi Laiqi said in a deep voice.
However, as soon as his voice fell, there was a commotion from behind.
"They're over there."
"All the samurai hurry up and help Lord Calamus guard our Vajra Guo."
"Calamus-sama, we're here!"
"Calamus-sama......"
Hordes of samurai poured out from the rear, each with a firm belief on their faces, as well as trust and awe for the Sifang Chuan calamus!
This scene made everyone in Jiatiecheng couldn't help but be in a daze.
But that's not the end of it.
With the appearance of the samurai, the people who had already fled ran back, each carrying a steam cylinder in their hands.
"Hurry up, you can't let Lord Calamus fight by himself!"
"Yes, we can't fight, but we can do things like transporting steam cylinders."
"Everyone should be sharp, and we must guard our homes."
“……”
People are afraid, but when everyone is afraid, someone stands up.
Then this person will become the hope, and people will make the will to worship this person, and the will to follow this person.
And what Wood did......
It's about shaping a belief, and with a belief, people will enshrine it as their own code of conduct.
So naturally there has been a change!
Looking at the changes in the expressions of the people around him, Ikoma was stunned.
Leave aside whether Wood did something wrong or not.
But he did what he always wanted to do, but couldn't.
Only by confronting Kabane can we regain the lost dignity of humanity!
Only by facing Kabane can you defeat Kabane!
"Haha, I killed two."
"I've killed more than you, and this thing doesn't feel terrible, does it?"
"Don't be careless, you must hold on, no matter what, you can't let Kabane break through here."
“……”
Listening to the words of the samurai in her ears, the Sifang Chuan iris turned her head to look at the people beside her.
Everyone's expressions were a little complicated, and they all sighed in unison.
Seeing this, Sifang Chuan Iris slowly raised her right arm, looked at the Kabane who was constantly pouring in at the city gate, and shouted with the loudest voice she could: "Six...... Clean!!! ”
The sudden slogan made everyone look towards the quadrangle calamus, and everyone had a smile on their faces.
"Six Roots Pure!"
"Six Roots Pure!"
"Six Pure ......"
In the midst of the slogans, the gunfire became more and more intense!
And in the midst of this rain of bullets, a figure rushed directly over everyone's heads.
"Six Pure ——!"
The familiar voice made everyone in the Iron City raise their heads, saw Wood's weak back, and rushed to the direction of the city gate without hesitation.
This scene was seen in the eyes of everyone.
'Da-'
Wood fell in the air, and the surrounding Kabane immediately surrounded him.
But......
In the next second, the figure suddenly moved.
Like a ghost, tossing and turning in Kabane at a speed that humans can't do at all.
The fists rained down like raindrops.
It was just an ordinary fist, but it exerted amazing power, and each punch would pierce Kabane's heart.
Even in the end, the figure disappeared from everyone's eyes, and only one Kabane could be seen being beaten and shattered.
Counterintuitive...... Counterintuitive...... Still unreasonable!
The gunfire gradually thinned out, and everyone looked at the scene in front of them with shocked expressions.
Kabane –
Is there such a fragile one?
The entire battlefield seemed to have turned into Wood's solo show.
Charging all the way forward, the tide of Kabane was forced back by one person.
Wood went completely insane.
The pungent smell of blood kept coming to my nose.
The sky is gradually approaching dusk, and everything you have caused yourself is destined to be the final end.
Wood was like a tiger in a flock of sheep, there was no Kabane who could block his punch, and he could clean up the Kabane in the city all the way with the strength of one person.
There are such brave men......
This is everyone's thoughts, but who knows how much this person is afraid of death.
Ikoma gritted his teeth and started to run forward.
Nameless and others followed.
On the other side, Wood had already slaughtered outside the city gates, and the Kabane in Vajra Gok had almost been cleared.
"Now, Ikoma, do you want to beat me up?"
After killing Kabane in front of him with one punch, Wood turned his head to look at Ikoma and the others running in the distance and shouted.
Everyone was stunned.
"I'm sorry!"
Wood turned his head and smiled at the crowd, "It's a pity that I don't have time for you to beat me up." ”
As the words fell, Wood suddenly retreated from outside the city gate to the city gate, came to the city gate, looked at the two huge cables that pulled the city gate up, turned his head and waved his hand at the crowd.
"Goodbye......"
'Smack——! ’
The cable broke, and only one rope could not hold the huge steel gate, causing the entire gate to fall downward.
This scene made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
But......
Wood moved, and ran out of the thick gate under the gaze of everyone, smiling happily and waving to everyone.
'Bell! ’
A heavy voice fell, and everyone froze in place.
"Wood ——!"
Half-loud, a nameless exclamation was heard.
"Go up to the wall, hurry up to the wall."
Ikoma roared anxiously, and everyone ran towards the wall, everyone with nervousness and worry on their faces.
But......
When they reached the city wall, there was no sign of Wood outside except for the dense corpses of Kabane.
……
"Huh?"
Saitama held the rice spoon in one hand and the rice bowl in the other, and looked at Wood who suddenly appeared in the living room a little sluggishly, and after half a sound, as if nothing had happened, he lowered his head and continued to serve rice.
"Have you eaten it?"
"Nope."
Wood looked at his surroundings and shook his head with a wry smile.
"I haven't seen you in a month, and I feel like you've changed a lot."
Saitama looked Wood up and down, "Hmm...... Before eating, you should wash it first, the taste is too bad for appetite. ”
"Saitama-sensei, do you have any friends?"
"Friends? No. ”
“…… Sorry when I didn't ask. ”
"Hey, what do you mean!!"
……
