Chapter 213: Heavy Casualties (Ask for Recommendation Votes, Ask for Collection)
Two days later.
Yu Cijiu and his party drove for hours on the narrow mountain road, and after tossing and breaking several tires, they finally drove down the rugged hillside.
"Vomit..."Yu Cijiu leaned on the railing on the side of the road, his face was pale, and a large number of black and dark unknown objects appeared on the ground, which should be the braised pig's trotters that he ate yesterday.
The stuff he spat out had been fermented in his stomach last night, and the smell was particularly pungent.
"Young master, rest for a while, and then you can leave later," Wang Er walked back from the pile of cars not far away with a dusty tire, although the vehicles have been specially reinforced, but the tires are still leaking, and if not dealt with in time, it may bring unexpected trouble.
The Vulcan mercenary group was also busy in the car pile, and the condition of their vehicles was not much better, they needed more than just tires, they directly dismantled several dusty vehicles completely, just to find the accessories they needed.
"I'm tired, I'm really tired," Yu Cijiu began to complain again that he must repeat countless times every day, but he only complained a few words, and he also knew the current situation, and they had no way out now.
The Vulcan mercenary group suffered heavy losses during the two-day journey, and after the original team of thirty people lost two people on the first night, they were scattered two days later due to encountering corpses, and then encountered several high-grade cracked corpses with green source crystals. After everyone worked together to solve a third-level split-face corpse, they didn't even have a chance to pick up the source crystal, so they could only escape while the split-face corpse was snatched and divided, and now there were only fourteen people left in the team.
Although Wang Tou had long anticipated the difficulties and dangers along the way, things often turned out worse than he expected, not only did no one in the team advance to the golden rank, but more than half of them died because of it.
It was not easy to kill a third-level split-face corpse, but he didn't have time to pick up the source crystal, and he felt a little aggrieved when he thought about it.
Wang Tou's originally burly body actually looked a lot thinner at this time, and these changes happened in the past two days.
He watched his people die one by one, but he was helpless, and this feeling constantly tormented his nerves, so that he didn't get a good night's sleep for the past two nights.
But things have come to this point, and there is no turning back for the Vulcan Mercenary Group, even if there is only one person left in the team, this mission must continue, because in front of the Yu family, the Vulcan Mercenary Group is an ant-like existence, unless they don't plan to return to the Dongfeng Jurisdiction, but Wang Tou has too many things to let go, and for him, the Dongfeng Jurisdiction is his home.
The originally happy team also became a little lifeless at this time, and the originally active people became less talkative at this time, because according to what happens every day now, no one knows who will die in the next moment.
Wang Tou now has a trace of regret, if he hadn't taken on this task in the first place, wouldn't the Vulcan mercenary group have come to its current situation? I thought I was walking on a broad road, but I didn't expect it to be a Huangquan Road.
During this time, Wang Er has always been honest by Yu Cijiu's side, and has never made any out-of-the-ordinary moves.
Yu Cijiu sat on the stone, looking at the lifeless appearance of Wang Tou and the pedestrians, and his mood was also a little heavy.
"Wang Er, can't we get to the cliff bank jurisdiction?" At this rate, before he reached the Cliff Shore Jurisdiction, the people were about to die, Yu Cijiu felt a deep fear for the first time, he had never thought that one day death would be so close to him.
"No, young master, even if everyone dies, you will be the one who survives in the end," Wang Er's face was dark, now their water storage was insufficient, except for eating and drinking, naturally they couldn't waste it casually.
"But... Wang Er, I don't want you to die either..."Yu Cijiu's face was helpless, and he wanted to reach out to pull the other party, but when he saw the other party's black hand, he retracted his hand again.
"Let's eat, young master, go to the car to rest after eating, maybe you will suddenly set off at some point," Wang Er saw the other party's retraction of his hand, there was no expression on his face, as if nothing had happened, for him, Yu Cijiu was the person he needed to protect with his life, and the other party tilted all his resources on his own body, and he had to repay the other party.
"Oh," Yu Cijiu regretted a little when he withdrew his hand, even if he did something more, he had a feeling of wanting to cover up, so he simply didn't do anything, and honestly hugged the food and ate it.
Wang Tou held a dry steamed bun in his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth with dull eyes, a little unate.
"King, drink some water."
"Do we have enough food?" When the king saw the man standing in front of him, he asked as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"One way should be fine, round trip is definitely not enough," although more than half of the team died, but a lot of supplies were also lost during the escape.
"Well, go and rest," Wang Tou nodded, looking down unsure of what he was thinking.
"Something?" As soon as Wang Er changed the tires, he saw Wang Tou standing on the side at a glance, and the man looked at him silently, obviously having something to say.
"I hope that in the next journey, you can also help," Wang Tou didn't know why the other party wanted to hide his strength, but since that night, the other party has never made a move, only this one explanation.
"Didn't the young master pay you?" Wang Er stuffed the tools in his hand back into the trunk, "I remember that your mission is to protect the safety of the two of us, and now you need me to protect you?" If you return the source crystals that the young master gave you, I can consider your proposal. ”
"It's too much for you to say that, we are now people on the same boat, and if we get into the water here, there will be no good end for your side," Wang Tou's face turned red all of a sudden, his forehead was bruised, his eyes were slightly red, and he was breathing heavily, obviously angry.
"I'm just kidding, the king doesn't need to be so excited. Don't worry, if there is any danger in the future, I will definitely help," Wang Er completely changed when he faced Wang Tou, probably because the other party had seen his true strength, so there was nothing to hide, and he made a rare joke.
"I hope you remember your words, if you don't save you next time, don't blame me for prioritizing my team..."
The moment Wang Tou turned around, Wang Er's face completely darkened.
