Chapter 7: Metal Statues
Zou Lang stood in place for more than a minute, and then flicked his wings and flew directly into the air.
No one cared where Zou Lang went, not even the soldiers of the two companies under his command, taking advantage of the commander's absence, all the soldiers who had been drenched in the rain all night hid in the room to find a place to rest.
Zou Lang flew lonely low in the air in the direction of the Holy Water River. Zou Lang is indeed very lonely, since he left Shengshui Town in a negative spirit, he joined the Doomsday Salvation Army by chance. Although General Shan valued Zou Lang's ability very much, and directly gave him the actual position of a major battalion commander, but there are also factions in the army, and Zou Lang, a latecomer, will not be able to integrate in any matter in a short period of time.
When he was lonely, Zou Lang often thought of the Beidou team, he complained about Luo Zhigang and he hated Chi Hua, but he would miss the days when everyone was wandering together and the days in Shengshui Town, and he would think of the quarrel with Qin Yurou and living in the same cave with Yan Jie. Zou Lang also had the idea of going back, but a decision made him never go back, and pushed himself into a situation where he was fighting to the death with his former teammates and siblings.
When he learned that General Shan's son Shan Hao was injured by Qin Yurou, he took the initiative to persuade Beidou to give in. After being insulted by Luo Zhigang again, he was embarrassed and angry, and led the Doomsday Salvation Army to Shengshui Town.
Instead of elevating his status in the Doomsday Salvation Army, this decision made him even more isolated, and although no one said anything, Zou Lang could feel the contempt in the eyes and smiles of many officers of the same rank or even his superiors.
Those who betrayed their brothers' robes have been despised and ashamed of the soldiers in the armies of any dynasty or country from ancient times to the present.
The smile on Jin Fei's face just now, as well as the sentence "ask for more blessings", all seemed to Zou Lang with contempt, and the anger in Zou Lang's heart burned to his head at once.
"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, I'll arrest Chi Hua first, and let you go and explain to the general." So Zou Lang searched down the river bank first.
......
Chi Hua didn't know how far he had drifted along the river, and the only thing he could confirm was that he had left Shengshui Town.
In a river channel where the water flow was slightly gentle, Chi Hua relied on his two feet to paddle desperately and climbed the riverbank, and then planted himself on the grass on the riverbank.
At this time, Chi Hua was shirtless and barefoot, with only a pair of camouflage pants that had been torn into strips all over his body, he had not eaten for nearly two days, he was first drenched by the rain and then soaked in the cold river water for so long, coupled with injuries all over his body, Chi Hua lay on the river bank and gasped for breath, his brain was dizzy for a while, and his body could no longer stand up.
Just when Chi Hua was in a daze, a pair of military boots suddenly appeared in front of Chi Hua's eyes without warning, Chi Hua tried his best to raise his head, and the first thing that caught his eye was the pair of eye-catching wings.
Zou Lang looked at the scarred man in front of him and suddenly felt a pain in his center, but the words he said were cold, "Chi Hua, I was ordered to arrest you, if you don't want to be offended, I advise you not to resist." ”
"What? Don't even call Brother Hua? Chi Hua raised his head and stared straight into Zou Lang's eyes.
"There's no need, now I'm a soldier, you're a bandit, and we don't have anything to do with it." Zou Lang's tone was still indifferent.
Chi Hua suddenly laughed, laughing and coughing, "It's okay, you said it so lightly, why doesn't it matter, you owe Brother Luo a life, you owe a blood debt to thousands of people in Shengshui Town, is it over if it doesn't matter?" ”
"I Zou Lang don't owe anyone, what I gave them a chance was that they didn't catch it, even if they didn't have me, they would have died yesterday!" Zou Lang suddenly shouted hysterically, he wanted to shout out all the loneliness and hatred in his heart.
"Do you know why I'm running in the direction of Holy Water Town? Because of you, I want to kill you with my own hands, do I owe you to go underground and tell Brother Luo, and tell the thousands of victims in Shengshui Town! ”
"If you may have been qualified to say such things before, but with you now, dream!" Zou Lang said and pulled out the bright silver spear behind his back, and stabbed Chi Hua on the shoulder, who was still lying on the ground.
Chi Hua endured the severe pain, and suddenly raised a hand and grabbed at the tip of the spear.
Then Zou Lang saw an incredible scene, the tip of the gun began to melt before it was pierced into Chi Hua's hand, and then the entire barrel of the gun turned into metal liquid and flowed to Chi Hua's palm.
"Remember, I gave you this gun, and now I've taken it back." Chi Hua's eyes began to turn blood-red.
Zou Lang knew that Chi Hua had already made a killing move, and subconsciously spread his wings and was about to fly into the air, but suddenly felt that his feet sank and did not fly.
"It's too late to leave!" Chi Hua stood up with difficulty, and the flowing metal liquid slowly flowed down from Chi Hua's palm like a spring.
Zou Lang looked at his feet, the flowing pale silver metal liquid had covered his entire feet, and it was rapidly spreading above the calves, and the metal liquid would immediately solidify and shape once it stuck to his body, as if he was wearing a pair of metal boots.
Zou Lang shook his wings vigorously and pulled his body up, but his feet didn't move as if they were welded to the ground, "You, you ......" Zou Lang excitedly pointed at Chi Hua and couldn't speak.
Chi Hua smiled, looking at Zou Lang's eyes, he smiled as contemptuously as Jin Fei and the others, "My new ability, liquid metal, if it weren't for you and Jin Fei, I wouldn't have awakened so quickly." ”
As he spoke, the liquid metal had already overflowed Zou Lang's waist and spread rapidly towards his upper body and wings.
"Brother Hua, don't! I was wrong, don't kill me! Zou Lang was finally scared, and the next moment the metal was going to cover his whole body, and death was so close.
"Why do people only know that they are wrong before they die, it is too late!" Chi Hua let out a long sigh. Metal had already spilled over Zou Lang's neck.
Zou Lang cried loudly, "Brother Hua, please let me go!" I was really wrong! I'm willing to atone for my sins, I'm still useful, I know all the information of the Doomsday Salvation Army, you let me go......"
"Men have to bear the responsibility when they make mistakes, and you will only make me despise you even more if you do this!" Liquid metal covered Zou Lang's face, blocking his continued words.
Chi Hua raised his head, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, "Brother Luo, I have avenged you!" You are watching in the spirit of the sky, Zou Lang is just the beginning! ”
Chi Hua staggered into the distance step by step, leaving behind a lifelike metal birdman statue with wings ready to fly.
......
The rain has stopped, an autumn rain and a cold.
The soldier hunched over the wet grass and searched quickly downstream along the banks of the Holy Water.
Bao Yun frowned and kept sniffing, obviously not finding any trace of Chi Hua yet.
Jin Fei also frowned, his face already showed an anxious expression, although he pretended to be chic in front of Zou Lang and said that he didn't need to explain to the general, but he was ready to bear the general's anger in his heart. In yesterday's battle, nearly forty of his Evolvers were killed, and the losses were more than one-third of the Special Operations Battalion, which was enough to cover a tank regiment. If all the people in Beidou were caught, they could barely explain to the general, and only one Chi Hua was caught, and he was ready to push Zou Lang out to take the blame, but now Chi Hua actually ran away under his nose, which completely hurt his self-esteem as a soldier.
"Boss, there's a new discovery, what are you looking for?" There were Evolvers shouting in front.
When Jin Fei rushed over, more than a dozen evolutionaries under his command were chatting around a one-person-tall silver metal sculpture, and some people couldn't help but touch it.
"Who threw this sculpture at the river, you touch it and see if it's silver, if it melts, it will be worth a lot of money, right?"
"You dirt buns, this is a work of art, and a master's work of art! You see this sculpture carved so vividly, even the feathers on the wings are carved vividly! ”
"Hey, have you noticed it, this sculpture is very similar to the carved Camp Chief Zou, it can't be that someone admires him and deliberately placed it here!"
Jin Fei was also curious for a while, and stepped forward to touch the face of the sculpture, and saw that the face shape was really very similar to Zou Lang.
"It's not like Camp Commander Zou, but it's Camp Commander Zou!" Bao Yun suddenly said from behind Jin Fei.
As if his hand had been electrocuted, Jin Fei immediately withdrew his hand from the statue's face, and the other evolutionaries also took a step back in shock, all looking at Bao Yun with surprised eyes.
"Chi Hua's breath appeared again, it was from here that he climbed ashore, and I smelled the smell of Camp Commander Zou in this statue, if you don't believe it, you can break this statue and take a look."
Jin Fei took a step back and looked at this statue again, yes, this statue was Zou Lang. From the shoes to the belt and even the collar badge on the uniform, these details are by no means possible with sculpture!
Jin Fei stretched out his hand again and carefully stroked the metal on Zou Lang's body, what kind of ability made Zou Lang look like this?
"Is there anyone else here? Was it that Chi Hua who did it? Jin Fei turned around and asked Bao Yun.
"There is only the breath of the two of them, maybe this is Chi Hua's ability, in the previous battle, he once made the machete in his hand huge, but we didn't care at the time!"
Jin Fei hammered himself on the head with his fist, if Chi Hua's ability was to control metal, then everything before and after would make sense, and locking him in an iron cage by himself was the biggest mistake!
What makes Jin Fei even more afraid is that Chi Hua has already broken his arms and can still exert such an ability, if he faces Chi Hua alone, will he also become like Zou Lang, the unknown is the most terrifying!
"Boss, do you want to keep chasing?" Bao Yun saw that Jin Fei had not spoken for a long time, and suddenly asked.
"Nonsense, how can you explain to the general if you don't chase it back?"
"I remember that the general ordered Battalion Commander Zou to be responsible for arresting people back and asking our special operations battalion to cooperate. Now that Battalion Commander Zou has chased down Qin Yurou and the others, and he has fallen into it again when he acted without authorization, should we ask the general for instructions again, and who will be responsible for arresting people next? ”
Jin Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted Bao Yun on the shoulder heavily, "You kid not only has a good nose, but now he has a good brain!" ”
Bao Yun smiled proudly and didn't speak.
"I'll take someone back to ask the general for the next step now, before I come back, you bring a team of people in civilian clothes to keep an eye on Chi Hua for me, and in the absence of new instructions and absolute certainty, you can stop doing it first."
"Ahh Bao Yun grinned, but he didn't expect to free Jin Fei but put himself in.
