Chapter 74: Attacking Mr. Mayor
The Stormtrooper is made up of five combat-type armored mechanics, and the precision-forged metal covers a portion of their bodies, making the most of each person's size.
The five figures led by Ling You swooped down like arrows from the string, and wherever they passed, there would be a piece of infected people who would fall downward.
Metal grappling hooks hooked up to the wall, and they nimbly climbed between the platform and the infestation, stunned the soldiers who had been stationed in Riverstream.
After a brief pause, they also joined the makeshift combat team. And at this moment, the people who were confined to the high wall finally met the rumored mayor of Riverflow.
The mediocre-looking man was hurrying up the stairs under the escort of the soldiers beside him, and he was unpretentious all over his body, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. If it weren't for the fact that he had known in advance, no one would have imagined that he was one of the most powerful combat mechanics in the Academy of Sciences.
"It's an honor to be with you all at this time." His calm gaze swept over everyone present, "Contemptible Zhao Mingsi, I am willing to live and die with Chuanliu." β
With the arrival of Zhao Mingsi, the soldiers stationed in Chuanliu Town seemed to have a backbone all of a sudden. They cheered and embraced, picked up their weapons again, and shouted "Fight for the river!" At that time, the blood surging in the crowd infected everyone, like a clarion call for another expedition.
Qiu Xuan even saw black people in the quarantine area in the crowd of fighters, with a bright red strap on their arms. She had seen this tie on the old man's arm before, and it was usually tied by the closest family members before leaving or going on an expedition, implying the hope in his heart.
At this moment, in the face of the common catastrophe of mankind, it seems that the artificially divided camp races are no longer important. The Magician's elemental pushed back the crisis behind the Mechanic, and the Mechanic's Iron Arm provided a space for the Blacks to defend against attack. For the first time, people of different identities united to fight for a community of destiny, for their ideal homeland, and for the important people behind them.
"Give." Qiu Xuan lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand, it was a half-new Zimu knife, the sub-knife at the handle of the knife could not be seen in a flash, but the slight wear on it could be seen that the previous master had used it for a long time.
"I saw your weapon at the collection office before, it's yours, right?" Qin Jiuyuan smacked his lips, "Don't use that kind of garbage anymore." Protect yourself later, don't force yourself to know, Autumn ...... Ahem, Qiu Xuan. β
Qiu Xuan didn't speak, she stood in place and saw Qin Jiuyuan turn over and jump off the wall, using her own inertia to repel the infected people around a member of the charging team. He then secured a metal grappling hook and slaughtered the infected with a rope.
She thought about it, clenched the sharp blade in her hand, and killed all the way in the direction of Zhao Mingsi's battle. "Mr. Zhao." In the midst of the flying flesh and blood, she ignored the interception of the soldiers around her and forcibly squeezed to Zhao Mingsi's side.
Zhao Mingsi stopped the movements in his hand slightly, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Qiu Xuan. "Are you...... Black people? Is there anything you want me to do? β
"I just want to ask, do you know anything about this incident?" Qiu Xuan stabbed through the head of the infected person who was about to attack behind Zhao Mingsi's side, and shrugged his shoulders when he faced his somewhat ugly face because of the splashed flesh, "I'm sorry. β
"It's okay, don't take my child seriously." Zhao Mingsi wiped his face casually and smiled at her gently.
"Originally, I had a meeting on Lindao, but this time I hurried back when I heard the news that the mercenary group had come to Chuanliu." Zhao Mingsi said, "I've always heard of the name of the mercenary group, and I finally have the opportunity, so I always have to meet him." It's just that I didn't expect this to happen just after I came back, alas, I was also very surprised. β
"That's right."
"What about you, my child?" Zhao Mingsi waved his hand to interrupt the soldiers who wanted to come to drive Qiu Xuan away, and he stood next to Qiu Xuan like a truly amiable elder to clean up the infected people who had slipped through the net with her, and asked, "How are you doing after coming to Chuanliu?" β
"Can you teach me how a 'black man' can 'do well' in Riverflow?"
Zhao Mingsi paused, "Your background doesn't determine what kind of person you become. He said, "Isn't Mr. Qin the best example?" β
"Indeed." Qiu Xuan grabbed the handle of the knife down, and finally found the most comfortable gesture to hold the knife, "But when people all over the world despise you because of your identity, try their best to suppress you, and finally symbolically comfort you by saying that your background does not determine everything." So are these people doing it wrong? β
ββ¦β¦ Are you questioning me, child? β
"I'm just stating what I've seen."
"What is up to the human eye is not necessarily a fact." Zhao Mingsi's voice was low for a moment. Then, he took a step back, and a pair of mechanical wings made of metal suddenly stretched out from the armor on his back. With the characteristic roar of the machine as it starts, the metal wings extend outward inch by inch until they are fully opened, reflecting a cold cold light in the air.
Zhao Mingsi rose into the air, condescendingly staring at this piece of purgatory on earth. The huge wings that obscure the sky and the sun even obscure the afterglow of the early morning sunrise.
"The real reality is hidden beneath the surface, agnostic, untouchable." On the surface, he was just answering what Qiu Xuan had just said, but for now, he was more like he was talking to everyone who was fighting, as well as the entire Chuanliu Town.
"Those who delusionally try to touch the truth will pay the price."
At this point, the mayor of Chuanliu Town, who was once the strongest armed department mechanic of the Academy of Sciences, really showed his strength.
The air currents stirred up by the vibration of the mechanical wings led him through the infected crowd, and everywhere he went, swaths of corpses fell from the walls. The blood slid smoothly across the metal surface of the wings, not even leaving a trace on itβjust as Zhao Mingsi had shown.
Qiu Xuan finally knew where the sense of disobedience that Zhao Mingsi brought to her was. He always stood on the dry shore with a kind smile as he watched the people below struggle in the mire. He plays the role of a savior, but his mouth says, "You cannot have any faith but me."
The truth. Zhao Mingsi's so-called truth, the so-called truth of the Academy of Sciences and Luoshui, and the so-called truth of those truly agnostic "dominators".
Qiu Xuan clenched the knife in her hand, and in the shadows that no one had noticed, she almost skillfully shuttled through the oblique corpse.
One day, all the truth will be revealed in front of her.
