Chapter 102: Ten Minutes Later
Maybe it was because the room below the hall was too warm and comfortable, maybe it was because there was too much drinking, maybe it was because he had met nearly two hundred Tortoise brothers who were close to him, or maybe he had harvested a precious bullet, and the night before he left for the Wind Turbine, Master Poker slept very well.
"Recharge, recharge, recharge......"
After a few words, the poker master collapsed on the bed and fell asleep. Lingling and Ziqi also returned to their respective rooms to rest.
Ziqi, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep peacefully like a poker adult, and he couldn't say why, he always felt that a lot of things would happen tomorrow, and maybe it would be the longest day since he entered the game.
In the middle of the night, there was a strong wind and heavy rain, and the rain was mixed with terrible snowflakes.
The sleepiness finally came, the green plants above his head gradually blurred, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and just as Ziqi was about to fall asleep, a voice came from his ears......
"Whew~"
The sound that came underground was soft and hazy, and it was impossible to tell whether it was awake or asleep.
Like a wolf's howl, like the devil in hell roaring.
Just as Ziqi pricked up his ears and prepared to listen carefully, he was greeted only by a silence that went deep into his bone marrow.
In this deep sea-like loneliness, Ziqi finally closed his eyes.
He had an absurd dream.
He ran forward desperately, followed by a wolf-like beast, with its bloody mouth wide open, leaking four cold and shining fangs.
In front of him is Lingling, in front of Lingling is Lord Poker, and behind him there is only a jujube who is rounder and fatter than himself.
"Help, save me......" Ah Zao's face was full of panic and terror, his round body trembled up and down, and he couldn't run anymore.
He stopped, and so did Lingling and Master Poker.
Ah Zao was still desperately moving forward, but after only two steps, the beast pounced, its fangs glittering like a knife.
"Click."
It was as if poor Zao had been split open by a giant axe.
With the blood, Ah Zao slowly turned around, and his originally round body showed half a circle, but he was only half left!
"Help, save me......"
The half-man still looked at the crowd with a longing eye, and stretched out the only remaining hand forward.
"Ahh
Lingling was the first to scream, and then resolutely turned around and ran forward.
Lord Poker looked at Ah Zao, who had rushed to him, and then turned his head to look at the beast that was eating half of Ah Zao's body, his face was full of pain, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.
And he was the closest to Ah Zao, but he didn't have the courage to rush over at all.
"Boom!"
The bloody jujube finally fell.
The beast had already eaten half of its body, and slowly walked over with a pair of ice-free, emotionless eyes.
"Run, run!" Lord Poker shouted to himself in pain, and then Huo Ran turned around and ran forward.
I stood trembling in place, trying to open my legs, but it was extremely difficult.
The beast walked to the place where Ah Zao fell in three steps and two steps, easily picked up the half of his body, and then slowly swallowed it.
Ah Zao was still alive, and the remaining half of his body struggled desperately, but gradually he did not move, and the last thing that was swallowed in his stomach was the remaining eye.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he glanced at himself for the last time, full of anger and unwillingness......
The beast chewed with relish, and the sound of sharp teeth slicing bones filled the air.
Finally, the jujube disappeared completely.
The beast didn't seem to have enough to eat, and it raised its head again, casting a pair of cold eyes at its own close range.
"Ah!!h
I was finally able to take a step.
"Whew~"
The beast let out a long roar and chased after it unhurriedly.
The poker master and Lingling in front of him have long been gone, although they can open their legs, but no matter how hard they exert themselves, they will never be able to run fast.
The beast was getting closer and closer, and the bloody breath in its mouth was already hitting its back.
Finally, the beast leaped to its feet, and the tremendous force brought itself to the ground.
"No, don't!"
Desperately clutching to the dirt on the ground to prevent being dragged away by wild beasts.
Blood gradually oozed from the nails.
"Don't!"
At this moment, the damp and cold earth suddenly changed, turning into a white and soft mattress.
The beast vanished, and was in a warm house with a large expanse of lush vegetation overhead.
It turned out to be a dream.
In a nightmare, Ziqi found that the mattress under him was soaked.
It's not a good sign.
……
The long night passed.
Ziqi walked out of the door, the corridor was quiet, and when he reached the staircase, he saw Lingling.
"Everybody's up there." Lingling turned her head and smiled at herself.
Ziqi saw that Ling Ling's handsome face was very haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot.
She didn't sleep well that night.
The hall was crowded, everyone had arrived, and Number 1 was standing in the center to speak.
"Brothers, from today we will enter a new life. Although it may not sound easy to serve, it is something we must do, because we still have the blood of the Rabbit people on our hands, and we have to work hard to wash away our sins. Brothers, not everyone can have a chance to mend their ways, and this is all given to us by Lord Watarami! In the face of this hard-won opportunity, we must seize it. From today onwards, let us forget about luxury and enjoyment, embrace hardship and simplicity to the fullest, brothers, answer me out loud, can you do it? ”
"Can !!"
The sound of nearly two hundred people was deafening, and even the dense lanterns overhead were shaken up and down.
"Okay, that's all for us, I have to explain something else to you before heading to the Wind Turbine Bureau not far away." Number 1 respectfully stepped back and moved Poker Master to the middle, "I think everyone knows that this Poker Master is our great benefactor. It was he who defeated the heinous Captain Ji and saved us from his clutches. And today, Lord Poker also needs to go to the Wind Turbine Bureau because of some things, I hope that when Lord Poker needs help in the future, the brothers will be able to step up, can you do it? ”
"Can !!"
The deafening sound sounded again.
No. 1 nodded at everyone with satisfaction, and then looked at Lord Poker, "My lord, can you also explain a few words?" ”
"Ladies and gentlemen...... "Poker Master is in a pretty good spirit, and his eyes are bright. But in the face of the black pressure of a group of people is still a little uncomfortable.
He looked around, and when he saw Ziqi and Lingling also in the team, he calmed down a little.
Well, since everyone has arrived, and I am standing in this position, I should explain two sentences.
But what to tell?
"Okay, then I'll say a few words too."
In an instant, everyone craned their necks and looked at Master Poker expectantly.
There was silence in the hall.
Master Poker kept scratching his long hair, and he found it not easy to talk to a large crowd like Number 1 did.
But the previous sentence has already been spoken, and it is obviously inappropriate not to say something.
"Brothers!" Master Poker finally finished speaking, and with a wave of his hand, he said the second sentence, "Let's go!" ”
……
The Storm Authority sits on a wasteland twenty kilometers northwest of Storm Harbor, surrounded by high walls.
A night of wind and snow had plated the wasteland with a layer of silvery white, and even the towering walls were covered with snow and ice.
The walls are high enough that standing on them is like standing on a mountain. The walls were wide enough to accommodate ten carriages running around the walls at once.
The horizontal and vertical wall enclosed the Wind Turbine in the middle, and there was no other place for the Storm Turbine to enter and exit except for a large gate to the south.
Early in the morning, the walls were already crowded with people.
All of them are tall and tall Gollum people.
They were all carefully cleaning the ice and snow from the city walls, and even after the bad weather passed, not a single snowflake could be left on the city walls, which was Hebo's order.
There was a hut on the wall directly above the gate, and Hebo was lying leisurely on an easy chair in the hut. A rusty copper kettle was smoking white smoke from a charcoal fire, and a yellow-white cat was sleeping quietly by the stove.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock on the door outside the hut.
"Is it all cleaned up?" Hebo asked lazily.
"Report to Lord Hebo, the ice and snow on the entire city wall have been cleared."
"Okay, let's all disperse." Hebo slowly stood up from his easy chair, "In ten minutes, I don't want to see a single figure on the city wall. ”
"Yes." The voice outside replied very respectfully.
"Also, in ten minutes I will personally take Mimi to run on the city wall, if there is an uncleared snow and ice that slides Mimi to it, hum, the person in charge of these wall tiles will be unlucky, understand?"
"Ming, understood." The people outside said with sincere fear.
"Okay."
He Bo took out a red and blackened tea brick, broke a small piece and put it into a tea bowl, and removed the copper kettle that was burning on the stove.
Boiling water is poured into the tea bowl, and the black and red tea leaves instantly stretch out and exude a strong aroma.
"The ten-minute countdown begins." He Bo said as he gently placed the tea lid on the tea bowl.
"Yes." After receiving the order, the people outside quickly ran towards the crowd behind them.
Soon, panicked footsteps sounded on the city walls.
"Mimi." He Bo looked at the yellow-white cat lying on the ground and said, "It's time to wake up." ”
"Meow." The cat barked, stretched wide, and turned to the other side.
"Mimi." He Bo slowly squatted down next to the cat, and stroked the cat's shiny body very gently, "I know it's cold outside, but Lord Adler personally instructed you to run a few more laps on the city wall today, it seems that today is your big day again." ”
The cat slowly opened a pair of topaz-like eyes, then shook its head and stood up.
A strong aroma of tea wafted out through the lid, and Hebo sniffed it vigorously a few times.
"Well, it looks like ten minutes is up."
