Chapter 76: The Chosen One
"If we don't get enough rest, if we don't die at the hands of mutants, I'm afraid we will show signs of alienation and eventually become monsters."
"Don't be so pessimistic."
"That's right, Captain Jiang used explosives to blow up the rocks this time, temporarily blocking the pace of the mutant pursuit, and we can rest for a while, right?"
"Yes."
The chat between the three of them ended quickly.
But in their hearts, they can't relax for a moment.
β¦β¦
Around noon, Li Xiang returned to the stronghold.
He didn't walk in the door directly, but shouted at Zhou Yang: "Xiao Zhou, you come out." β
"Did something happen?"
Su Tong, who was playing fighting the landlord, raised his head and glanced at it, and then saw Zhou Yang smile: "It's nothing, you play first." β
"Oh."
Su Tong nodded, and began to focus on beating the landlord again.
Zhou Yang walked out of the main entrance and found that Li Xiang was by the wall in the distance, without a trace of a smile on his face.
After walking over, Zhou Yang asked directly, "What's the situation?" β
Li Xiang looked at Zhou Yang carefully, but did not speak, he seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't.
"Just say it."
Looking at Li Xiang's strange appearance, Zhou Yang felt that it must be something terrible.
If it was an ordinary thing, with Li Xiang's character, it would be impossible to show so many emotions on his face.
"You've been drafted ......"
After being silent for a long time, Li Xiang slowly spoke.
"Conscription?"
Hearing such words, Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment.
"Hmm."
Li Xiang nodded, and then said with some confusion: "I don't know how the lord knows about you, anyway, this time you were named to participate in a special mission." β
"The lord directly called names?"
Zhou Yang began to think. He has never seen the lord, and the lord will naturally not see him, this so-called direct name call, there are too many fames.
Who is it?
Is it to hurt him?
Zhou Yang was the first to think of the guy who was neither male nor female who appeared in his shop yesterday, but after thinking about it, he didn't feel that the other party's ability was so great.
But who else?
Just when Zhou Yang was puzzled, a pair of strange big eyes suddenly flashed from his mind.
It's her!
Zhou Yang suddenly thought that if she spoke, then it would not be surprising that the lord knew about him.
The problem is, she doesn't know her name.
This......
"By the way, one more thing. Today, the Bow Angel asked me for your name. Brother, does she have a crush on you? Why don't you pay so much attention to you? β
Li Xiang's next sentence directly answered Zhou Yang's doubts.
When it comes to gossip, this guy's face is not as dignified as before, but looks at Zhou Yang with curiosity.
"How can people take a fancy to me?"
Although it was Li Xiang who betrayed his name, Zhou Yang also knew that Li Xiang was not to blame for this matter.
He had already felt that the Bow Angel might have discovered what he was secretly doing to the brood, and now that he had been recruited, he confirmed his suspicions.
This baby-faced woman is such a troublesome guy!
"No more fuss. I heard that she will also participate in this special mission, if there is danger, don't lose face, remember to ask her for help. β
Li Xiang patted Zhou Yang's shoulder and did not hide his worry. But his words seemed a little strange to Zhou Yang's ears.
"Why does it have to be her?"
Zhou Yang was stunned, and then asked.
"Because she's strong!"
Li Xiang replied very calmly. Compared to others that Li Xiang didn't know, the Bow Angel had already shown absolute control in the previous battles.
That ancient bow and terrifying arrow left a deep impression on everyone's hearts.
"Okay, I will."
Zhou Yang nodded, indicating understanding.
Although he didn't think that Bow Angel was such a good talker, Li Xiang's kindness, he didn't want to refuse directly.
But Zhou Yang also made a decision secretly.
That is, after the mission begins, no matter what, stay away from this woman with extremely terrifying intuition.
Otherwise, it would be a little inconvenient for him to even make a move.
"Fortunately, the harvest last time was big enough."
Zhou Yang can only secretly rejoice now that in the last battle of the brood, the Soul Devouring Ancient Tree absorbed enough souls to repair his injuries.
Otherwise, without using the Soul Devouring Ancient Tree, he would probably not be able to do even the most basic combat.
He remembered the big knife he had been snubbing for days.
β¦β¦
Afternoon.
A person from the garrison came to find Zhou Yang and motioned for Zhou Yang to follow her.
Under the watchful eyes of the seventh team, Zhou Yang followed the woman in front of him and went straight to the lord's mansion.
This was the first time Zhou Yang had seen a panoramic view of the Lord's Mansion.
Unlike the Western-style castle of the previous time and space, the lord's mansion of this time and space is more like an office building in the previous life.
Walking into the building, Zhou Yang was surprised to find something familiar.
Lift.
Under the leadership of a woman, the road is unimpeded.
Almost every guard who saw the woman did not choose to ask her to show her ID, but stood straight and let her go.
"Here we are."
took Zhou Yang to a conference hall somewhere on the seventh floor, and the woman motioned for Zhou Yang to go in, but she stopped outside the door.
"Thank you."
After being led all the way, Zhou Yang thanked the woman, then pushed open the door and walked into the conference hall.
At this time, there were already a lot of people sitting in the conference hall, but compared with the morning meeting that Zhou Yang had seen, there were many fewer people here.
There were only a handful of less than ten people.
"Who are you? Who let you in! β
A fat man with a face full of meat and a weight of about 300 pounds said in an unkind tone.
"You're Zhou Yang, right?"
Compared with the fat man with a face full of meat, a delicate-looking young man said with great certainty.
"Hmm."
Zhou Yang nodded, completely ignoring the fat man who spoke before.
He quickly found the person who started the affair in this conference roomβthe arched angel who stared at him with wide eyes and an innocent expression.
After taking a few steps forward, Zhou Yang soon saw a seat with his name on it. However, that position is next to the bow angel.
"Long time no see."
Zhou Yang sat down, and the bow angel said with a smile.
Although the smile is very refreshing and sunny, in Zhou Yang's opinion, this smile is more like a devil's smile.
"Okay in a few days......"
It had been less than five days since the end of the last mission, and Zhou Yang didn't feel that it had been a long time.
He and the Bow Angel are not so acquainted, and there is definitely no such thing as not seeing each other for a day.
Zhou Yang, who sought truth from facts, did not follow the words of the bow angel.
"Huh."
Hearing Zhou Yang's answer, the handsome-looking man hid his face and smiled, but he accidentally made a sound.
