Volume 3 Scarlet Dawn Chapter 21 Gambling on Life
He Yaodong looked at his stubborn opponent, his eyes were full of admiration, surprise, and more doubt.
The moment the sword light flashed from his eyes, his mind regained its former clarity. But all this with his unwillingness, the liberation he had sought so hard, and the pride that came from his bone marrow. plunged into eternal darkness.
Zhou Qi firmly stepped over the corpse. walked to Zhang Dingjun, who was standing in front of him, his eyes in a daze!
"I said, Zhou, Qi. How did you do that? Zhang Dingjun completely forgot that this was on the battlefield, and not only him, but almost everyone who witnessed all this wanted to ask the same question. At this moment, in his heart, he even had a trace of fear for this guy who was a lot shorter than himself.
Yes. Fear. Just like the feeling he had when he faced Qin Fei. The latter is due to long-term respect, and in the face of Zhou Qi, he has a kind of facing a lake of bottomless water, and this fear reveals a slight chill from the deep and unpredictable.
"Guess?" Zhou Qi's blood-soaked face showed a warm smile. While Zhang Dingjun breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
“.…..”
Perhaps no one will notice that when Zhou Qi stepped over He Yaodong's corpse, from his hand, a broken puppet slipped on He Yaodong's corpse.
Zhou Qi decided to gamble, bet with his life, and everything was possible if he won. If you lose, everything will come to an end as the opponent's gun falls.
At the moment when he raised the blade of the spear with both hands, the mighty He Yaodong was about to launch his skills. Zhou Qi used a voodoo doll from the high priest Mustaso.
He wasn't sure if it worked. So, it's a gamble.
This is the only and final hole card he can play.
In the face of an opponent whose attributes are absolutely crushing him, since he can't resist head-on, if he can control him, even if it is only for a few seconds, for him, it means that it is possible to get a glimmer of life from it.
Luckily, he ended up winning the game.
And just as he expected, for enemies with a high degree of mental strength, the control time of the voodoo doll has been greatly reduced.
But that's enough!
At least that lethal skill had changed its position with his will in the moment before it fell!
In his current state, he would never be able to kill this powerful opponent, and it was He Yaodong who personally killed himself, as well as more than a dozen hostile contractors who were affected.
While rushing towards the rest of the enemies who had not yet woken up from the great contrast. Zhou Qibian communicated with heraldry.
He finally got a hint of a promotion in the ranks, and after a series of hints, he had now gone from being a corporal at the bottom to a second lieutenant.
Judging by the merit points obtained, from corporal to ensign, there are exactly 3 grades in the middle.
Killing He Yaodong gained 150 points, plus the 47 points he earned earlier. What he didn't expect was that the more than a dozen hostile contractors killed by the comet summoned by He Yaodong were actually counted on his head. In addition to the regret that I didn't get the box, the merit is worth a lot. He currently has 369 merit points.
If the promotion of a corporal to sergeant is 50 points, then the promotion of a sergeant to sergeant is 100. In this way, for each rank promoted, the required merit is increased in multiples. 369 points exactly exceeded the 350 point line for promotion to ensign.
It can be imagined how terrible this lieutenant colonel called He Yaodong is!
On the battlefield, the waves caused before quickly calmed down with the fear of death. The contractors on both sides are doing everything they can to survive.
Every time you kill an enemy, you have more hope of surviving.
But despite this, as time went by, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards Zhou Qi and them.
At this moment, in the distance of the sky, a bright pillar of light rose again! It looks like another node has been activated. It's just that the color of the pillar of light that rose this time fell on Zhou Qi's eyes, showing a deep blood red.
That's the enemy activating the node!?
"Warning, the enemy contractor has activated the Dongcheng node, and there are 30 minutes left before the activation is completed. If the enemy contractor completes the activation of 3 or more nodes, the mission will fail. Defeat Result: Total Obliteration! ”
Bloodily obliterated the hint, once again confirming his conjecture. It seems that the key to gaining control of the city lies in the number of active nodes. How many nodes are there, exactly? 5 or 7? Or is it more?
It seems that the situation is much more complicated than expected!
In the cities, the civilians of the German-occupied areas who did not have time to evacuate were hiding in bomb shelters, cellars, and even in the cracks formed by collapsed buildings, all of which seemed to them to be safe places.
As early as the moment the guns rang out, they huddled together with each other, using the faint temperature released from each other's bodies to resist the increasingly biting cold wind. While giving each other warmth, they give each other more the courage to live.
In the laundry room near Xicheng District, Martha sat blankly on the only large bed in the room separated by a curtain. In her mind at the moment, she remembered the German officer named Kahn.
Although most of the time, she couldn't understand what he was saying. Still, Martha can tell from his words and photos of his wife why he treats her like this.
Judging from the time, it is not far from dawn, and tomorrow he should come over, bring some canned food, and at the same time, he will also press himself under this bed again, and vent his desire in his body.
"German bitch! Did you wash your ass today? A boy's voice came from outside the curtain.
Martha had a bitter expression on her face. She wanted to say something, but she held back. The little guy named Lyuschenko would not know that his mother took the last box of cans from here just 2 hours ago.
"All assemble at the door! Damn the Russians! ”
With an urgent whistle, the shouts of German soldiers were heard at the door of the laundry.
Martha hurriedly put on her only coat. Cover your head with a scarf and cover your face as much as possible. Following the others, hurried towards the square shrouded in night. The constant sound of artillery around her made her face turn pale for a while.
"All of them, all to the train station!" A German officer stood on a high platform in the square and shouted loudly.
At this moment, by the light of the flames, he set his eyes on the crowd that began to move.
"You, come out!" He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Martha.
A middle-aged woman with short, curly black hair and her daughter were dragged out by German soldiers as he pointed with his fingers.
"Jews?" He asked aloud at the frightened woman who was holding the child tightly.
"No!" The woman shook her head and denied it loudly in what seemed jerky.
"Let my child go!" The woman cried out loudly, kicking desperately at the German soldiers who were holding on to her.
Martha's eyes watched in horror as they were stuffed into a scrapped bus on the side of the road. A group of German soldiers picked up the wooden planks scattered on the ground and began to block the windows of the cars with nails. Soon the poor woman and her child were locked in a car nailed with wooden planks.
"Burn them! The Jews must be purified! "The German officer gave the order!
A German soldier with a flamethrower on his back, lit the muzzle! As long as his finger pulls the trigger of the accelerator, the next moment, the scrapped car will be turned into an open-air crematorium!
