Volume 1 Eastern World Chapter 019 The Road to Escape
Ye Fengliu looked at his hand in shock, found that there was nothing abnormal, and then looked up, only to find that Miller at the front of the team had been blown into two pieces in a cloud of smoke.
Logan, who was immediately behind him, was also tragically affected, and was blown away several meters away, lying on the ground covered in blood and not knowing whether he was alive or dead, but the hideous wound on his arm showed a suspicious metallic luster.
"Why wouldn't I be surprised that this kind of plot is seriously off-track!" The little fat man Li Hui looked blank, and there was a piece of minced meat hanging on top of his head.
At this moment, a carriage rushed out of the smoke and stopped beside Miller's body.
The driver was a thin, lean bearded man, who looked at Miller, who was only half of his body on the ground and could moan for help, with complicated eyes, and then shouted to everyone: "Are you friends with Skinny Miller?" I'm Lausso, follow me, the Confederates are rounding us up! ”
"Is this Dr. Ford's move again?" Ye Fengliu couldn't help but look at young William, but young William also had a confused and frightened expression on his face at this time.
"Weird, isn't it Ford?" Ye Fengliu felt a little confused.
Without allowing Ye Fengliu to think too much, a dense burst of gunfire rang out not far away, and then a large group of guys with guns appeared around.
"It's Nan Junzai!" "We're already surrounded, don't be stunned, follow me to the train station, there should be a train stopping there at this time, hopefully we'll be in time, that train is our only chance to get out alive." ”
Lausso said as he drove the carriage while shooting at the Southern soldiers who appeared in front of him, and suddenly the Southern soldiers were knocked down several times by him in the screams.
Young William and Dorothy also opened fire, and the marksmanship was three points higher than that of Lausau, and the enemy in front of the carriage was quickly cleared.
"Whew......" Laussor whistled, as if to signal the crowd to follow, and the carriage sped out.
Ye Fengliu and other members of the secondary two team, who had almost become spectators, hurriedly patted their horses and followed, and the group finally rushed up dangerously when the train just started, escorted by Dorothy and young William.
After getting on the train, Ye Fengliu, who was already exhausted, just breathed a sigh of relief, and received two bad news:
"One Labyrinth Guardian is dead, and there are 145 left."
"One Labyrinth Guardian is dead, and there are 144 left."
"It seems that the thin man Miller is still dead, but I didn't expect him to be a maze keeper. But who is the other maze keeper who died at the same time? Ye Fengliu fell into deep thought.
……
"Lawrence is dead!" Nanfeng Kojiro said to Kimura with a numb face: "Just escaped from the pursuit of those mask demons, the first thing this old guy did was to drain his blood!" He seems to be a fond of bloodletting......"
"I see it, don't speak." Kimura looked nervously at Old William, who was inserting a tube into the seriously injured Teddy.
Old William was too close to them, Kimura didn't want to attract Old William's attention at this time, maybe this demon bleed hasn't been let go yet!
It's a pity that Old William has obviously heard the conversation between the two.
"Hmph, I'm cruel, right? If it weren't for the fact that your blood couldn't be used, I would have spared my old friend Lawrence. But ......" Old William didn't say anything when he finished speaking, but just looked at the two of them a few times with bad intentions, and then inserted the tube into the upside-down water bag full of blood.
With the infusion of blood, Teddy, who was already as pale as paper, finally came back to life, and at this time, a rare smile appeared on Old William's face.
"Welcome back, it seems that a few gallons of Lawrence's blood will do you a good job." Old William said to Teddy, who had just woken up, "Are you ready to go on the road?"
"Be merciful, reward me with a bullet!" Teddy looked at old William and said weakly.
"Who said I was merciful, it was not my fault that you suffered, you used to be beautiful, and when this place first began, I opened one of you, and there were a million perfect parts, and then they changed you, and made you into this miserable appearance, flesh and blood like us." Old William crouched down in front of Teddy.
"They say it will improve the campus experience, but do you know the real reason?" Old William sneered, "It's cheaper, your humanity is more able to save money, and your pain is the same." ”
"Huh...... Whatever you want, sir," Teddy exhaled, "I'm worthless to you like this. ”
"It's a pity, Teddy," said William Sr. coldly, "after defeating you, White killed an immigrant settler and snatched a beautiful girl you should know, named Dorothy." ”
Teddy immediately became excited when he heard this: "They snatched Dorothy? ”
"That's it," said old William, smiling with satisfaction, "a magic spell." ”
He stood up and picked up Teddy, who seemed to be in good spirits, and then said to Kimura and Minamikaze Kojiro, who were confused, "Don't worry about Lawrence, kids, someone will pick him up later." Let's move on......"
……
"Are you okay?" Ye Fengliu said to Dorothy, who was sitting in a daze in the corner of the carriage.
"When I ran away from home, I told myself that this was the only choice," Dorothy looked up at Ye Fengliu, "but lately, I think if in every moment, there are not many choices, these choices are floating in the air like ghosts, and if you can see them, you can change your life." ”
Hearing Dorothy say this, Ye Fengliu couldn't help but think of "extreme love", as well as the words she had kept repeating in his mind: "Don't let her find you, go there quickly, and find the treasure left by God!" ”
"Do you want to change your life?" Ye Fengliu muttered, not knowing whether to say it to Dorothy or herself.
"Everybody thinks that, right?" Dorothy's eyes were innocent.
"Maybe!" Ye Fengliu replied unconsciously, "That's why everyone came here, no matter who was before coming here, it doesn't matter." There are no rules or restrictions, you can change your life and become another person. The only thing that limits you is your own ......"
"What an enigmatic man you are!" Dorothy cupped Ye Fengliu's face, "Why are you here?" I feel that you are completely different from those 'new residents'. There is confusion and sadness in your eyes. ”
"I also wondered what I was living for. What should I do? But when I met you, I knew that I had the same pursuit as you, I wanted to find my true self, so helping you was helping myself. ”
"Thank you, until this moment I can't be sure that you are the one who really wants to help me," Dorothy said and looked at Ye Fengliu affectionately.
After a long time, Ye Fengliu looked at Dorothy's beautiful eyes and couldn't help but say, "It's hard to imagine why your eyes are still so pure and beautiful after suffering so many injuries?" ”
"Some people choose to see the ugliness and chaos of the world, I choose to see beauty." Dorothy smiled faintly, like a white snow lotus in the moonlight.
"Are you really sure you can find the maze?" Ye Fengliu finally couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know? But together, I know that a way out can be found eventually. Dorothy looked at Ye Fengliu affectionately.
"How can you be sure I can?" Ye Fengliu asked again.
"I don't want to look ahead, I just want to live in the moment. There was a voice inside me that told me what to do. It says I need you. Dorothy suddenly leaned towards Ye Fengliu, as if she wanted to kiss him lightly.
"Hey, I'm talking about you two!" At this time, an angry voice suddenly sounded in the carriage.
Ye Fengliu and Dorothy hurriedly separated, and looked awkwardly towards the place where the voice came from, only to see Shang Yi standing at the other end of the train car with a resentful expression, and Li Hui next to him was giving a thumbs up.
Just when Dorothy was so ashamed that she didn't even know where to put her hand, Shang Yi shouted at the two again: "You can bear to sprinkle dog food or something in public, but you two are going to abuse dogs to death!" Can you understand the feelings of the audience? ”
"This ......" Ye Fengliu scratched his head, "we're just saying goodnight to each other, that ...... It's getting dark, let's wash and sleep! ”
……
When the second day, when Ye Fengliu woke up, he found Dorothy and Shang Yi cuddling together and sleeping soundly.
Shang Yi and Dorothy seemed to have quarreled without saying a word last night, and Ye Fengliu, who had been hiding early, of course didn't know what they were arguing about, anyway, it seemed that the two should have reconciled in the end.
"Brother Ye!" Li Hui's voice suddenly sounded beside Ye Fengliu, "Look out the car window? ”
Ye Fengliu looked out of the window when he heard this, and saw that both sides of the train track were densely filled with wooden poles more than one meter high, and human skulls were inserted on the top of the wooden poles.
"It's time for the Ghost Clan, the most savage tribe. Here, the Oni will wipe out all those who are not invited. Lawsso and William didn't know when they arrived in this carriage, and it seemed that they had just heard Li Hui's question when they came in.
"It's a place where only trains can pass, and if we walk, we'll die in an hour." Lausso turned off the window guards and said to young William, "I played all night playing cards last night to win you, so you remember to owe me a promise to do something for me unconditionally." ”
Ye Fengliu was still wondering why these two people only appeared now, and when he heard the words, he realized that the two had gone to gamble all night, and it seemed that Lausso had won.
"As long as we pass through the territory of the Oni Clan, we can park," Lawsso continued, closing all the windows, "You can follow me, there is only killing here." ”
As if commenting on this sentence, as soon as Lausso's words fell, the train came to a slow stop with a bang. Ye Fengliu could vaguely see from the window that a lot of boulders had been placed on the tracks in front of the train.
"What's going on? Sneak attack? Is it a ghost clan? Dorothy sat up and asked in a panic.
Ye Fengliu's brows trembled, and he secretly said in his heart: "This woke up too fast, are you sure you've been sleeping?" ”
"No, it's worse, it's the people of the Southern Army who are catching up." Lausso's face was heavy.
"Ye Fengliu, you sneak attack your chest again, look at my aunt and grandmother, I won't kill you!" This fashion Yi suddenly sat up with a flutter, and shouted dream words in his mouth.
Then she opened her eyes sleepily, and when she saw everyone staring at her with strange expressions, she seemed to finally realize something, and her pretty face was immediately so red that she could ooze blood, and she bit her lip and made a strangulation motion, as if she wanted to explain the word "sandwich".
