Chapter 30: Waiting

It's getting late. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Utter darkness once again enveloped the world, and blinding searchlights illuminated the camp in front of it from all directions. But this did not make the "Emperor" feel any better, and he stood motionless in the camp, staring at the small building in front of him, which was pitch black even under the light of the searchlight, and could not even see what was behind the window.

The sound of gunfire in my ears was endless, and the reports coming from all directions did not bring good news. Among the Big Seven, the "Queen" and the "Butcher" were still able to withstand it, but the two brothers and sisters "Viper" and "Scorpion" had begun to retreat, and the defense line composed of mercenaries and hunters recruited from the wilderness was also shaky and did not look very solid.

In the face of these intruders coming from outside, the monsters in the ruins, after the initial panic, it was clear that they had begun a counterattack. Instead of being completely safe, they cleaned up the monsters in these neighborhoods, and instead made themselves bait in the eyes of the other ruin monsters. In the eyes of these ruin monsters, these neighborhoods have lost their original owners, and it is a good opportunity for them to encroach on the territory. As for these foreign invaders......... Just kill them all.

"Dada............!!"

The automatic machine gun roared and spewed fire, forming a dense barrage of bullets in the pitch black. From afar, a pair of scarlet eyes could be seen rapidly moving around the perimeter of the position in the darkness, and they pounced on them from time to time, and then were blasted to pieces by the relentless fire blockade. But that didn't stop the monsters, who wandered around the periphery, tentatively, trying to find the hedgehog shell's weakness and then crush it once and for all.

The situation is trickier than you think...............

"Your Excellency!"

Hearing the call, the old man slowly turned his head and looked at the man beside him.

"What's wrong?"

"Just now there was news from the rear that Area B defended by the 'Wild Boar' has been lost! These monsters are insane! We are now barely able to maintain the last avenue. My lord, this operation has failed, please order a retreat immediately, it is still too late, and if our retreat is blocked, it will be troublesome! At the very least, you and the other Big Seven should get out of here first, as long as the Big Seven are still around, then District 9 will be fine, but if you ............"

"Alright."

Before the man could finish his words, he was interrupted by a wave of the old man's hand, who raised his head and stared at the sky in silence. The exchange of fire continued, and even sporadic screams and monster roars could be heard in the distance, but the old man ignored this, he just stared at the darkness in silence, and only sighed after a moment.

"I know what you're trying to say, District Ninth is our foundation, and if we are here to lose our vitality, then District Nine will no longer belong to us, and it will no longer belong to the Blackstone Group. Perhaps it will be overrun by the robbers who roam the wilderness, or it may collapse from within. We shouldn't have carried out such a risky plan at all, but ..............." said the old man, raising his right hand and reaching out to the sky. β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦ I decided anyway to give it a try. This is my hometown, I was born and raised here, and I remember walking around here, when everything was normal, there were no monsters, no disasters. My girlfriend and I are walking down this street............"

The old man smiled as if full of memories, and then looked at the mutilated street beneath him, filled with flesh and corpses.

"I remember there was an ice cream shop here, and the ice cream was delicious and there were always some promotions. It's just that it's all ladies-only, so I had to ask my girlfriend to buy it for me......... Hahaha, that's fun........."

"Your Excellency?"

Hearing the old man's words, the man couldn't help but be a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that in this life-and-death battlefield, the old man suddenly began to recall his youth.

"I'm old, and frankly, I'm lucky to be alive until now after that disaster. Not only have I formed my own faction, but I have even become the master of a gathering place, is this a bit unimaginable for me? You must know that before the 'cataclysm', I was just an ordinary office worker, squeezing the tram to and from work every day, being scolded like a dog by my boss, and even my girlfriend finally ran away with other men......... The most interesting thing is......... The day after she left, the 'cataclysm' broke out......... Hahaha, life is such a joke........."

In the face of the old man's words, the man also showed an expression of crying and laughing.

"This is still an adult, you have this ability, don't say now, even before the disaster, I'm afraid you will end up being a successful person with a successful career."

"Oh, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, it's not interesting to discuss this now."

The man's fart didn't seem to be photographed in the right place, but the old man seemed a little interested, he waved his hand, and then took out a cigar from his arms.

"To be honest, I miss being scolded by that old man......... At least, at that time, our world was still normal............ Alright, keep on standby, don't bother me if it's okay. ”

"But, sir......... How long will we have to wait? 'Doctor' he ..............."

"I'm sure the little guy will complete the commission, and he's never let the old man down for so long, and I'm sure it's the same this time. Well, you're good to go. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ Be. ”

Hearing the old man's words, the man hesitated, but finally nodded, and then turned to leave. It was only at this time that the old man withdrew his gaze and glanced at the dim and gloomy small building in front of him.

"I hope you don't disappoint my old bones, 'doctor'........."

Then, he muttered to himself.

While the battle was in full swing outside, inside the building was a different story.

"That......... Is this really okay, Lord Commander? ”

Looking at Faren who was sitting leisurely on the sofa, holding a skewer of barbecue and grilling skewers back and forth on the bonfire, Eluka finally couldn't hold back the uneasiness in her heart and asked. In the face of her inquiry, Fallon shrugged his shoulders.

"Of course, there is no problem, the so-called combination of work and rest is also necessary in this environment. Relax, we are all going to die one day, and since that is the case, then we must seize the time to enjoy life and enjoy life. When you are hit by a bullet from behind or your throat is bitten by a monster, you will not regret that you have wasted your time, nor will you be ashamed of doing nothing. Then, when you are dying, you will be able to say, 'Well, I have enjoyed everything I should have enjoyed in this worldβ€”β€”β€” and I have the joy and happiness I wanted.' You see, why do most of the villains in the movie die with a satisfied smile? It is not because they are freed from the harshness of their conscience, and simply satisfied with their past. Compared with the protagonist who is so hard that he can't even eat, his wife is abducted, his family is torn apart, and he lives just for revenge all day long, isn't it happier to lie in the gentle countryside and enjoy the food and the villain of the woman? ”

As he spoke, Faeron shook his right hand, only to see that the next moment, a piece of grilled steak was forked by him.

"Would you like a piece?"

"This ........."

Smelling this delicious and tender aroma, Eluka couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and she glanced left and right at Chrissy, who was silently eating meat skewers, and Kurona, who was happily holding a cup of milk tea like a hamster............

But then again, the scalpel with the steak in it now won't be the same one used to dissect the cubs......... Not.........!

"Hug, I'm sorry, Commander, I'm a little unwell......... Uh-huh............! ”

Looking at Eluka, who turned around and fled in panic like a rabbit, Fallon shook his head, then he picked up the steak, took a bite, and closed his eyes.

Well......... That's life.

(What a poor child, master, how big do you think her psychological shadow is?) οΌ‰

"It's not too big, just get used to it."

Listening to Delin's words in his head, Faeron couldn't help but smile slightly, and then turned his head to look at the cat-eared maid who was standing quietly next to him. In the face of Fei Lun's answer, Delin sighed helplessly.

(I think most people go crazy before they get used to it......... I don't mean to say anything about your hobbies, but please be concerned about other people's opinions once in a while.)

"The night gave me dark eyes, but I used them to find the light, because they lacked the perspective to find beauty......... Life has infinite possibilities, but human beings only care about their own food, clothing, shelter and transportation, which is really superficial. ”

(With all due respect, master, I have never found any beauty in those wriggling entrails)

"That means your love isn't enough..............."

(I just need to love you enough for my master, and it doesn't matter if I don't have love in this regard......... Speaking of masters, are you ready? οΌ‰

"Of course."

Hearing Delin's words, Fallon narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the ceiling above his head, and then the scalpel in his hand shook slightly.

"Everything is ready."

And at this moment, as if to confirm Feren's words, a bang suddenly erupted in the darkness, and immediately after, Kulona also stood up with a pale face and looked at the gate not far away in surprise.

"Enemy attack!!"
