Chapter 90: I Can't Help It
The group, which was neither large nor small, numbered about a hundred people, quickly returned to the vicinity of the city walls.
"You guys are waiting here now, Wang Er is going to find out the letter." The leader of the Salvation Society beckoned.
Along the way, Lu Shan also learned that the ringleader's surname was Zhang, and for the safety of his family, he could only tell Lu Shan's surname.
Not to mention anything else, Lao Zhang still has a hand in doing things, basically the team he led has never had any problems.
A young man walked out of the line and went to find someone to answer.
"How did you get out of town?" Lu Shan asked curiously, such a large group of people, they will definitely be discovered when they go out, and the city defenders are not blind.
"It's simple, look at these sergeants who rushed to the front line, how hard and tiring they are, those big forces will not come here."
"The sergeants are the sons of the people, and most of their parents are ordinary people, and the city is small, so don't expect the sergeants to deal with ordinary people."
Lu Shan soon understood that these soldiers also had families, and they were all ordinary residents in the city.
Now that ordinary people want to unite to do great things, ordinary people's sons will naturally not obstruct their parents.
"There are still some traitors." Lu Shan knew that some sergeants might have been bewitched by people with great forces and obeyed their orders, and such people could not be saved.
"Yes, a soldier's duty is to protect his family and defend the country, but the sergeants in Cold Wind City are private soldiers, and brainwashing is indispensable, and many people are now beginning to believe in 'loyalty', isn't it funny, parents don't want it."
"They are now lackeys, no longer soldiers who defend their homeland and country, and it is no problem to call them mercenaries."
Lu Shan nodded, Wang Er went for a while, and soon came back.
"No problem." He said.
Lao Zhang immediately led the team to the vicinity of the city wall.
Several ropes had been laid down on the walls, and along the ropes, a group of people climbed up.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lao Zhang patted the officer stationed on the shoulder.
"It's not hard, it's all for the sake of our parents." Officers are actually at great risk.
He is not the only officer in this wall, some have sold themselves to others, and their parents don't want them.
"We've got to get out of here, we'll talk later." It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and the longer you stay, the greater the danger.
"Who is this?" The officer, who had never seen Lu Shan, pulled him back.
"Oh, this is the big hero who blocked the gap in the wall, not a strange person." Lao Zhang let go of the officer's hand holding Lu Shan.
The officer looked at him for a moment, and then his eyes widened and said, "You were the one at the time." ”
He remembered the city wall alone, when his parents were almost eaten by the rat clan.
Maybe it was the wall that blocked the city, and Suspicion saved his parents' lives.
"Thank you." He pulled the land mountain hand, and the palm of his hand was hot.
Lu Shan felt a particularly strong sense of reality from him, that was sincerity, and the officer sincerely thanked Lu Shan.
"No thanks."
"Lao Zhang, you take someone back, I'll talk to the brothers here." He wondered how these sergeants kept their bodies hot on such a cold day.
"Then I'll go first." Lao Zhang was at the bottom, and the team of the Salvation Society finally entered the city safely.
"At that time, thanks to you, otherwise my parents would not have been able to protect it."
"Don't thank me, I'm not a tall and good person, I just can't stand it."
Lu Shan didn't enjoy the sense of accomplishment of being a hero, he didn't think about it, Lu Shan did most of everything for himself.
At that time, he simply couldn't stand it, and in his opinion, he himself could never die without saving himself when he was full of strength.
If he hadn't done that at the time, he would have felt half dead.
In fact, helping others is a selfish act, and why people want to help others is just to seek solace in their own hearts.
In the final analysis, it is for the comfort of one's own heart, like helping the grandmother cross the road, anyone can do it.
But if an old grandmother falls to the ground, I'm afraid that no one is willing to help, why, I'm afraid of being blackmailed.
However, only those who stand up at this time are the ones who truly have justice in their hearts.
Whether these people are true or not, they have only one thought in their hearts, and that is to save others, even if they will be hurt in the end.
"I don't like people to say I'm a hero, and I don't want people to praise me for what I do, I'm just an ordinary person, just one of the many people." Everything he said was the truest thought in his heart.
He doesn't want to be a great good person in the world, he is just an ordinary person with a small heart and can't carry too many things.
As soon as Lu Shan said this, the officer didn't say any more words of thanks, but his eyes were always sincere.
He looked into the officer's eyes and was relieved that it was enough.
"What do you defenders do every day?" He asked.
"It's not too much, just one thing, defend the city wall, in fact, we say it's the city defenders, but we can't defend any city." Officers are well aware of their position.
"In the end, it's just a tool of some strength." Lu Shan knew very well, and the officer himself knew it.
The officer didn't know what to say, but it was quiet around the walls, it was windy outside, the air was cold, and it was raining incessantly.
"Let's not talk about that, how did you survive the cold?" These sergeants stood on the walls in the pouring rain.
Most of them, ordinary people, are unlikely to withstand the freezing cold rain.
"Every day, someone will come and distribute some energy bodies that can be heated, and if you eat them, you can keep them warm for the day."
"I see, it seems that they still treat you as human beings."
The officer smiled bitterly: "It's human now, and when you don't need us, you're not human." ”
"The defenders are just some tools, there are two kinds of defenders here, one is to return to the royal city, you can change shifts and rest every day, eat well and use it well, and the other is not yet loyal, there is no day to rest, even the machine guns set up here, I am afraid that they will blow up."
Those machine guns are really visibly dilapidated to the naked eye, and it is only a matter of time before they explode.
Lu Shan frowned, "How can the equipment for defending the city be in tatters, it seems that these people really think that it is safe within the city walls."
Sooner or later, this city of cold winds will decline, and one day the alien beast will break through the defenses of the human race, and the city will be considered flat in an instant.
"No way, people are like this." There seemed to be tears in the officer's eyes.
He was heartbroken, people are it, can they still be called people.
People are equal, no one has ever pressed on people's heads, many of the previous emperors were not people, and many traitors were not people.
At the very least, people must have a conscience, although most of the time people can't find it, but people's conscience is there.
When you do bad things, your heart is your conscience, listen to your conscience, and don't fall into the devil.
"I don't think I'm not a good person, but I certainly won't be a bad person." He shook his head vigorously.
"Hateful." He spoke lightly.
"I'll go and ask the shopkeeper for mercy, arrange a batch of dark energy weapons for you, and I'll try to make you my forces."
The officer was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears, "Thank you, thank you." ”
He kept saying thank you, because he didn't know how to express his gratitude anymore.
Lu Shan knew that he was not a person who could accommodate too many people, but he felt that these sincere people should not become other people's playthings.
It is impossible for the shopkeeper to form a force, and only he can stand up at this time.
For he is the only one who can come to some agreement with the shopkeeper to betray himself, and only he can bring these sincere people out of the strife.
"There's not much I can do, I can't protect your family, I can only protect you."
A soldier with tears in his eyes walked up to Lu Shan, he heard all the words, he knew that Lu Shan had something to do with the shopkeeper.
This is their savior.
He threw himself to his knees, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, sir." ”
The warrior didn't know what to call Lu Shan, only called him sir.
He wasn't the only one, there were many fighters like this one.
They are well aware of their situation, and now that someone can get them out of the sea of suffering, they are naturally grateful.
"Thank you, sir!" Their voices shook the heavens and the earth, and half of the city walls echoed with their voices.
This is the first time that the fighters have made their own voices strong.
That soldier is willing to do someone else's walk, they are also human beings, they also have their own ideas, and they also want to protect their families and defend the country.
But Zhongliang was lost, they had to be suppressed, and now they stood up again.
"Get up, and since you are my men, I will tell you my rules first."
"Kneel to the heavens and kneel to the parents, kneel to mortals and beggars, and do not kneel to adultery."
"Those who move the heart move the righteousness, and those who move the evil move the evil do not move the good."
His words reverberated in his heart, and he stood high on the city wall, feeling more small at this moment, but his heart felt bigger.
It can accommodate a lot, and it can accommodate a good army.
"Yes, sir!" The sergeants wiped their tears and wept, they all knew that they could finally sit down for a while.
The rain swept through the eaves, and Su Yuening sat boredly on the steps in front of the black shop, teasing the swaying flowers weakly.
Standing alone in the rain, he looked very energetic, but his whole body was loose.
The man walked towards him, like a ghost in the night.
She wiped her eyes, yes, it was Lu Shan who came back, and he hurriedly walked over, as if he saw his long-lost child, tears seemed to roll in the corners of his eyes.
But just as he was approaching him, the figure fell to its knees.
Rumble!
There seemed to be a thunderous sound, and the figure was still broad, but it was so fragile.
Lu Shan was cold, but his body didn't tremble at all.
"What are you doing, what are you coming back for?" Su Yuening hugged Lu Shan and cried bitterly.
"I can't bear it." He was faintly voiced like the dust of the world.
