Volume 2: Opening Chapter 39 Ambition
Looking at the coolies around him who had a complaining expression but did not have much resentment, Luo Xia had to dispel this unreliable idea. Looking at the regular army patrols that walked outside the cave from time to time, Luo Xia, who was sitting close to the entrance of the cave, could almost smell the smell of blood on the cold weapons in their hands. So he couldn't and didn't dare to move his mind anymore, but carefully shrank into the cave and waited for fate to come, and no matter how hard he tried for a while, he had no idea. But in his heart, there was still a strange excitement that even he didn't want to admit.
It's just that although Luo Xia is unconsciously accustomed to the dirty and bitter life at the moment, he has also done murder and extortion after crossing over. But firstly, the mentality was different at that time, and secondly, it was not my current body, and there was always a sense of disobedience in playing holographic games.
In the final analysis, when he was a human being, his heart was still in peace, and even after experiencing the ups and downs of his mood, he had a capacity far beyond his peers. However, in fact, in addition to the false shell of self-protection in his previous life and the heart of self-exile, in addition to his will and calmer mentality, he is stronger than ordinary people, but it is also limited.
Besides, the Predator is obviously a creature that can't joke, and he can't even handle the maids, let alone the soldiers. He's not so ignorant of life and death.
It can only be said that fate is sometimes a pit that specializes in playing with people's hearts, and when you are not afraid of death, you will not die if you toss it casually, but when you are yearning for a new life, it helps you book a one-way ticket to the end of your life.
After a short time, a man dressed in the clothes of an officer, who could clearly be seen as an officer, led four soldiers of the Red Armor Governor Brigade into the room, and announced to the coolies who were squatting on the ground in a daze with a cold face: "Get up for me, and report to the pioneer camp immediately." Hmph, if anyone dares to ink, don't blame me for not reminding you, snort! ”。
As soon as his words fell, the four warriors behind him pulled out the large decapitating knives behind them that belonged to the Warlords, and looked at everyone with bloodthirsty expressions.
These warriors are all wearing thick red and black, suspected chitin-like cuticles, but like armor made of metal, holding some waterproof leather along the side to appear slightly wider, resulting in a very strong overall figure, a kind of ferocious atmosphere, because the strange material seems to have a waterproof and heat-insulating function.
In particular, the arm guard of the officer who took the lead also had a smooth ball like a closed eye, which looked like it was made of both crystal and some unknown alloy, and had a rounded pale gray sheen, and it was not known what it was used for.
What made Luo Xia even more uneasy was that this guy also had a flare-mouthed stick pinned to his skirt armor, which looked like a backward musket at the end of the Middle World, except that there was no insurance and a firing pin structure. But Luo Xia didn't doubt its power at all, it was a weapon belonging to the Demon Breeder, using the power provided by the powerful power of the professional.
As an officer, there was a black mid-length cloak behind him, on which was painted with a domineering and hideous war hammer that shattered the earth.
Although it is not the first time to see 'firearms', and he understands that the meaning of firearms here is different from that of his previous life, Luo Xia, as an earthling, is still accustomed to panicking about this kind of thing.
The officer looked at the generally gray faces and lifeless expressions of the coolies, and immediately sneered in his heart, and then, as if remembering something, he showed a slightly stiff smile, and threw out a temptation in a soothing tone: "However, you soft-bastards should not be so half-dead, it is better to die than to live." The Shogun has given the order, and in three days a decisive battle with the Inhuman Legion will be. Hey... As long as you can survive the battle, not only will you be allowed to go home, but you will also be given a large reward. ”
It's just that the little pity in his eyes that was unintentionally revealed, with a mocking look, obviously even he felt a little bored.
But sometimes, even a false reason can make despair even more delicious.
Sure enough, at this point, all the coolies really lifted their spirits, as if they saw the hope of life. If you have been working as cannon fodder in the pioneer camp, no one is confident that you will be able to live, and naturally you will have no fighting spirit at all, but if you can go home after only one battle, the meaning is naturally different.
After looking at everyone's expressions with satisfaction, the officer said with a cold shout, 'Follow,' and then called a few of his subordinates to coerce the coolies to walk out of the cave. And Luo Xia had no choice but to follow Uncle Wang and follow everyone step by step.
His face was full of wry smiles. Just one fight to go home? It's a dream.
Since it is a decisive battle, then even ordinary soldiers will suffer heavy casualties, not to mention any cannon fodder battalions. Wrapped in pods on both sides, the cannon fodder who rushed in front to attract firepower, the chances of survival...
After all, Luo Xia is different from these coolies born in the isolated countryside, after a little thought, he understands the language trap in what the non-commissioned officer chief said, just looking at the slightly excited and nervous expressions of everyone, including Uncle Wang, what can he say except a wry smile?
But why am I so excited? Damn, this isn't a game, why do you have such a ridiculous delusion in your head? He vaguely realized that after he woke up, his whole person became a little strange, and the originally gray world seemed to have color. The whole person seemed very excited, and he wanted to find someone to talk to for three days and three nights.
He didn't know that on the one hand, after he untied the knot, the whole person couldn't wait to get in touch with the new students, and his spirit was naturally excited. On the other hand, it is the rebellious psychology of the rest of the catastrophe and falling into another dead end in a blink of an eye. This sense of disparity makes some people give up on themselves. And some people will feel that the world is not real and need to prove their sense of existence, commonly known as doubting life. And then it's not normal.
"Baba, Baba, if you put aside your unbearable background, your color is also beautiful, uh..." Luo Xia shook the soles of his feet, quickly threw away the thoughts that were emanating in a terrible direction, and walked out behind everyone. It's not that he likes to be vulgar and always compete with poop, but that he has been licking dogs for too long before, and the sequelae are not funny, and they can only be corrected by time.
It was already getting dark. The place in front of me is backed by the Gobi, although the wind and sand in the wind and sand valley are fierce - the wind carries the sand and gravel and hits the people faintly painful, but fortunately, the sand on the surface of the Gobi under the perennial blowing is actually not vain, and the sand and gravel wrapped in the wind is actually very small, so it does not affect the line of sight much.
Luo Xia, who came out with everyone, saw rows of coolies sparsely led south by several soldiers. On the way, each person is given a water bladder to use as their only source of water. Luo Xia naturally received one with Uncle Wang, and took the initiative to carry it on his back.
Uncle Wang is an old vagabond, and his health is not good.
The scenery along the way is boring and monotonous, except for one side against the towering Gobi, there is a sea of sand everywhere you look. The canyon where the natural Gobi is located in the Wind and Sand Valley is also known as the Wasteland Path. It reaches the famous Barren Stone Plain in the north, connecting the southern frontier of the Longtu Empire and dozens of human kingdoms or power divisions in the Broken Dragon Mountain Range where it is located. Cutting straight into the barren rocky desert to the south has become the most convenient way on the continent to reach the Inhuman sphere of influence in the south from the land.
Where there is wisdom, there will be merchants who chase profits, whether they are aliens or humans.
This passage is undoubtedly an extremely important strategic location and economic lifeline, but after all, it is located in the desert area, the supply is difficult, and the surrounding forms are complicated, even with the strength of the Longtu Empire, it took several twists and turns to grasp the control of its northern tip in the last ten years.
However, in the Governor's Mansion of Southern Xinjiang, hundreds of kilometers to the north, there was a group of people who looked happy and held banquets day and night. They sat and watched the beautiful women sing and dance slowly, and after talking from time to time, there was always a sound of laughter, completely different from the tension of the approaching battle within the Angry Hammer Legion on the other side of the Wasted Rock Plain.
