Chapter 145: The Dark Web (Part 1)
"Why keep him?"
The night, as the war unfolded, had become boiling.
The sound of artillery fire, the sound of fighting, the roar of beasts, and the roar of corpses, a symphony of war formed under the stars in the night, drowned out Vivian's helpless sobs.
She's not actually accusing anyone, let alone questioning anyone? Just a pure emotional outlet.
She just couldn't believe that a person like Tang Ling would die like this.
Will there be any miracles? Vivian herself did not dare to hold out such hopes.
Thinking about the second-level mutant creepers, and the crowd of corpses like a sea tide, even if the Purple Moon Warrior wants to rescue Tang Ling, it will take a lot of effort, right?
"Vivian." Christina grabbed her from behind, and she was just as sad to lose her companion, but no one was sadder than Vivian.
In the face of Vivian's collapse, Yu and Auston were speechless, even if there were thousands of reasons, they couldn't hide the fact that Tang Ling sacrificed himself to fulfill them.
What is even more shameful is the fact that these two proud teenagers are somewhat unable to face the fact that they have 'abandoned' their comrades.
Andy's eyes were a little distracted, and he just looked at Warehouse 19.
Perhaps, after a while, Tang Ling will be seen on the rooftop? How much this might be, Andy didn't think about.
He was just very unaccustomed to it, not used to the absence of Tang Ling in front of him.
This figure he wanted to follow all along, but today he was left behind by himself?
"Let's all be sensible, let's go back to the Hope Barrier." Amir was silent for a long time, and then said this.
Vivian looked at Amir angrily, "Don't you have a heart?" In case Tang Ling appears, he must be seriously injured, and he needs us. ”
"He's not going to show up." Amir looked over to Warehouse 19 when a new group of corpses swarmed in, blocking the road.
With a 'bang', Auston punched Amir.
Amir didn't dodge, just let two wisps of blood flow from his nose, and looked at everyone with ridiculous eyes: "The Tang Ling I know has never been a dreamer. ”
"He's very invisible, maybe he's hidden a lot, people can't really understand him. However, it is clear to me that he is a person who is always sober and knows what to do and how to do it. ”
"He doesn't seem to be able to go wrong, and even if he chooses to sacrifice himself today, it seems to be the right decision. I'd love to be like him. ”
With that, Amir wiped the blood from his nose and walked alone towards the other side of the hill, the steep slope that was close to the crack.
He seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be speaking to everyone.
"The war began, and we stayed here like abandoned soldiers. Tang Ling saved us, not to let us wait here stupidly, I think that after returning to the Hope Barrier, we will also be arranged to fight again. ”
As he spoke, Amir had already reached the top of the low slope, looked back at the entire battlefield, his eyes stayed on Warehouse 19 for a second, his eyes were complicated...
But soon, he turned and jumped down the hill.
Yu closed his eyes in pain, but the next moment he mercilessly grabbed Vivian from Christina's arms and forcibly followed Amir.
Auston pulled Andy to follow Yu's footsteps.
"I don't want to go, I'm going to wait for Tang Ling." By this time, Vivian had finally shed tears.
It seems that to leave here is to deprive her of the last glimmer of hope.
"Yu, don't be so rude." Christina pulled Vivian back from Yu's hand, hugged her tightly, and said softly, "They are all just, they just don't want to live up to Tang Ling." ”
"We're going to keep fighting and become stronger."
Vivian stopped talking, just sobbed quietly, and Auston pulled Andy, who was a little 'stupid', past them and said, "Maybe one day, I'll die too." I hope that my death will be more glorious than that guy Tang Ling. ”
"I, I, I'm not going to forget him. I will always remember that we once had a partner named Tang Ling. Vivian followed Christina out of the hill after all.
In a very small voice, which only Christina could hear, she concluded: "I will remember, I liked him very much." ”
That's how the Raptors team left.
The hillside, on which there was hope for survival, was quiet again, and the battle did not subside because of their absence.
As more troops are invested, it becomes more and more intense.
It's like a final duel on a ruined battlefield today.
Shrouded in the shadow of death, in a state of despair and sadness mixed with numbness, no one thought about why there were so many corpses here.
No one thought much about the sudden appearance of the sixth-level corpse king, what kind of huge conspiracy was behind it?
Therefore, no one would have thought that behind the battlefield that suddenly became fierce, is there a pair of invisible hands controlling everything?
Why on earth is it controlling all this?
**
A battle that made Henk's clean, pale cheeks a little dirty.
In the fortress of hope, the first reserve battalion is urgently assembled, and the entire cave belonging to the reserve camp is busy and chaotic.
Only the small cavern where Genk was, in the depths, facing the concentrator was unusually quiet.
With a gentle smile, Andrew placed a basin of warm water from the bathroom cave beside Genk.
He tried it, the water temperature was just right, he wrung out a white silk scarf, and wiped Henk's face with some care, his eyes were calm and calm.
Henk took Andrew's hand a little irritably, he looked at Andrew, and said, "You already knew, right?" ”
"Know what?" Andrew was careless, then looked at Henk's face and said, "Don't move, I'll see if there's an injury here?" ”
With a 'bang', Henk overturned the basin in front of him, and as if he wasn't enough to vent, he kicked the basin again.
The innocent basin slammed into the stone wall of the cavern with a crunching sound that was undoubtedly deformed.
Andrew didn't speak, but walked over and picked up the basin of water, barely recovering it with all his might, and was about to walk out of the cave.
"Where are you going?" Henk looked at Andrew with a hint of unease in his eyes.
He doesn't know Andrew, and sometimes he feels like he doesn't know at all, but because of this lack of understanding, he thinks that having Andrew by his side is the safest.
Andrew's departure like this naturally aroused his uneasiness.
"Don't go anywhere, go get a basin of water. Time is running out, we'll have to rush to the battlefield in a minute, and I don't think you like to be unclean in front of others. Andrew said lightly.
"Why are you just...", and instead of moving Henk, he rushed to Andrew and grabbed him by the collar.
Andrew's expression didn't change, he just said quietly: "Why don't you tell you a lot of things, right?" ”
"The more you know, the more you will endure. I hope that everything is just for me to bear, and you can grow up quietly. ”
"So, take me for a fool, right?" Henk sneered.
"I can see it at all, you know that this cleanup mission will turn out like this, but you told the Summit Team to take on this mission. I know, this is to clear suspicion so that no one suspects that you will know. ”
"Actually, you don't have to be pretentious at all. Who would have suspected a guy from a reserve battalion who wasn't even a Purple Moon Warrior? ”
"By the way, you instigated us to stop the Raptors from taking on this mission. It's also for acting, right? Does this make your ignorance more real? Right? Henk was so excited that he finally said everything.
Because, can it be more obvious?
The Summit Squad simply did not complete its mission, and under a so-called coincidence arranged by Andrew, they forcibly retreated.
This so-called coincidence, maybe the rest of the Summit Team will not have any ideas, and they will be glad that if it weren't for that, they would also be trapped in this mission.
No one can guarantee that they will be able to get out when the corpse king appears and the corpses are flooded.
But Henk knew that this coincidence was fake, how could Andrew be captured by a corpse man on a battlefield of this level? And then the whole team happened to be unprepared with fungal inhibitors.
With Andrew's prudence, such a mistake would not have been made at all.
Even though it seems to be Emma's responsibility to not bring fungal suppressants, Henk has 10,000 reasons to believe that if Emma forgets, Andrew will make up for the mistake.
And, perhaps, Emma's forgetfulness is also inextricably linked to Andrew, such as Andrew's contempt for this mission, consciously or unintentionally emphasizing other things, and deliberately ignoring fungal inhibitors.
Emma is a brainless woman, and she will be led by the nose by Andrew.
Thinking of this, Henk himself was a little shocked, saying that he didn't know Andrew, but he really did.
He just couldn't withstand this kind of pressure, he didn't dare to think that Andrew knew in advance that the battlefield would become like this, what was behind it?
Treachery? Betrayed whom? Seeing that the current mission has evolved into a battle against the Fortress of Hope, could the answer be more obvious?
"No, you're not entirely right." Andrew grabbed Henk's hand by the collar and gently lowered it.
"Of course, I want to clear my suspicions, but I also want to do one thing by the way." Saying this, Andrew sat down leisurely.
"That is to kill Tang Ling."
"What?" Henk looked at Andrew puzzled, he didn't understand why Andrew cared so much about Tang Ling? Besides, it would take so much trouble to kill him?
Andrew took a bottle of wine from the cave shelf, unscrewed it and took a sip, ignoring Henk's questions, and said to himself: "I thought, for example, if we provoke the Raptors, they will be more determined to do the mission." ”
"Don't underestimate the self-esteem of young people, and of course don't underestimate Tang Ling. A lot of details prove that he is a suspicious and intelligent guy, and I have to give him some security. For example, our Summit Squad also has to do missions, and they do it in a hurry. ”
"So, you instigated everyone to suppress the Raptors that night. Is it for Tang Ling? Is Tang Ling so important? Henk raised an eyebrow.
Andrew tidied up the corners of his clothes and said peacefully: "It's not important, but it can't be said that it's not important." The important thing is that I want to clear my suspicion, and killing Tang Ling is just a matter of convenience.
"For your uncle Leno?" Henk thought of this matter, and the Summit Team knew about it from the first day, after all, Su Yao made a big fuss.
He used to wonder why Andrew, as a member of the Anse family, would let Tang Ling stay in the first reserve camp for so long, it turned out that he was preparing to kill with one blow?
"For him? No! Although I have to admit that in the family, Leno is on my side. But he's stupid, and he's impulsive and reckless. I didn't have to do anything for him. ”
"Tang Ling's matter, you don't have to ask too much. But he's dead, and it's very good news for me, I'll be rewarded, and that's enough. Andrew put the bottle down, and he just took two sips.
Even if he liked the liquid, he didn't allow himself to indulge in it.
"It's easy to kill him." Henk thinks Andrew is doing things too detouringly, so why take advantage of such a thing?
Of course, now Genk also understands that before they retreated, they broke the door lock of warehouse 19, and the real target was really Tang Ling.
But the other team members will not think of it, at most they will only think that the Raptors team who provoked the top team should be treated like this.
Andrew is a guy who will perfectly disguise his purpose.
"Of course, it's easy to kill him. But it's hard not to startle the snake... Leno wanted to fight for credit, but also because he had a perfect excuse, otherwise he wouldn't dare to do so. Andrew put one hand on his cheek, and his gaze became a little deep, which made Henk a little incomprehensible for a while.
"Are you scrupling about Su Yao?" Henk's tone had softened at this time, no matter what, Andrew would not hide it from him.
"Su Yao? Well, a madman to worry about. However, this is not entirely the case. Saying this, Andrew stood up, looked at Henk and said, "Tang Ling's matter will be discussed here, if nothing else, he should be dead." ”
"But tonight's thing..."Henk felt cold at the thought of this battle with conspiracy, that someone knew about it, and that this insider turned out to be Andrew.
"Henk." Andrew's tone suddenly softened, then looked at him and said, "Remember when we were kids?" You also said that no matter what happens, you will definitely stand by my side. ”
Henk's eyes became a little misty, as if the distant, long-gone time had resurfaced in front of him.
Of course he remembers, how could he forget.
He knew the meaning behind Andrew's words, undoubtedly admitting his betrayal, his betrayal of Safe Zone 17.
"I have nothing to hide from you. Do you understand? Andrew's eyes still fell on Genk.
Henk felt that his face was a little hot, he had lived in safe zone 17 since he was a child, and then what? Betray it?
"I need you. All along, my attitude has been the same, you just need to grow up with peace of mind. Andrew sighed, then walked over to Henk, straightened his uniform, and said, "But when I was a child, I couldn't take my words seriously, and I just needed you." In fact, you just need to be happy according to your heart's wishes. ”
With that, Andrew was about to walk out of the cave.
Henk suddenly said, "Of course I will always be by your side. ”
Yes, betrayal is shameful and uncomfortable, but if it's for Andrew...
When Andrew heard this, he just lowered his head and smiled, and then said, "Hurry up, wait a minute, we still have to fight with our lives." This time, I swear that for the sake of my conscience, I will fight seriously, but the outcome you know is not up to it. ”
