Chapter Thirty-Seven: An Unexpectedly Ending
After announcing Xiuqi's fate, the rather unscientifically bulging and powerful muscles on No. Nine's not-so-thick arm, accompanied by the protrusion of the snake-like cyan blood vessels, was Xiuqi's increasingly serious sense of suffocation and the sense of crisis that death was imminent.
No. 9 seemed to be enjoying the process of killing this opponent who was finally able to make a few moves with him, and did not directly break the opponent's neck, but chose to slowly exert his force provocatively, deliberately delaying the process of sending Xiu Qi to hell. Correspondingly, since there has been such a short period of time, and the situation has reached such a point, it is impossible for a group of capable people to continue to remain indifferent, even considering that this may be a trap that Nine is deliberately forcing them to take the initiative, it is impossible for these people to just watch a companion die in front of them.
"Xiuqi!"
Accompanied by Feng Che's painful and weak scream, several capable people led by Miya made a strong move, and an attack smashed towards the arrogant and turned his back on the nine--without exception, which was easily blocked by the monster that had already been calculated with unknown substances.
"Look, they can't save you, now that you think about it, do you regret that you didn't just turn around and run away?" The goal had been achieved, and Nine smiled mischievously at Xiu Qi, whose face was full of pain, and then planned to end the young life in his hands directly.
"Uh.."
No matter how hard Xiu Qi struggled, with his limbs firmly imprisoned, it was impossible for him to change his fate without a backhand, his consciousness gradually blurred, and even the huge force that strangled his neck seemed to begin to relax. After hearing the other party's last malicious words, even Xiu Qi himself already had the consciousness of dying...
But after all, he still couldn't be lucky to this extent, and his life was destined not to be taken away so early.
The last thing that woke Xiu Qi was the soft cry of surprise from the monster in front of him.
"Huh?"
The sound was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in Xiuqi's ears, because after this puzzled voice, Nine actually let go of his palm directly, allowing Xiuqi to slide to the ground, and at the same time retracted the few unidentified substances that imprisoned Xiuqi's limbs.
"Ahem. . . Ahem.."
Xiuqi, who had forcibly survived the catastrophe, fell to the ground, and then coughed violently, although he knew that it was wise to leave Nine's side quickly, but he had just slipped away from the fingertips of the god of death, and he didn't even have the strength to get up at this moment, so there was nothing to talk about retreating to a safe position.
"You guys are really fatal."
Inexplicably, he let go of Xiuqi's No. 9, and did not continue to kill Xiuqi, but turned around and glanced at the Fengche crowd, six points of confusion and three points of unwillingness in his eyes, and a little bit of annoyance.
There weren't many words, and after that, the monster just dropped a sentence of 'you won't have such good luck next time', and left in a hurry as if in a hurry, leaving only the more than twenty people present looking at each other, and they all saw the happiness of the rest of their lives from each other's faces.
In the end, it ended with the mercy of Nine's men and only two (soldiers) lives, which none of them had ever imagined.
"Get out of here!" Everyone was still in shock, but Feng Che was the first to react, raising his voice and shouting to the others: "After fighting here for so long, and making such a big noise, maybe there will be some monsters, let's hurry up and find a hidden place to adjust." ”
Feng Che's words are very reasonable, in fact, this is also a rule of most people's actions nowadays, under normal circumstances, after the end of a battle or some action, everyone will immediately leave their original position to avoid the various monsters that come from the wind. Even with strong strength, most people would not choose to rampage through the monster crowd unscrupulously, because even if you don't consider the monster army that is almost impossible to solve by manpower, even if it is just a few more groups of high-level monsters, it is not a joke - especially considering that now Feng Che and the others have a large amount of superpower consumption after a battle, and the maximum combat power is seriously damaged, even if only a dozen dead corpses come at this time, it is enough to make them feel a headache.
The people who took care of each other quickly left the place and went straight to the outside of City A. Xiu Qi got out of the transformation state not long after being let go by No. 9, coupled with the excessive use of superpowers before, which made his physical strength overdrawn, at this moment it was like a puddle of soft mud, and the most serious thing was that his limbs that had only been imprisoned by No. 9 for less than half a minute, under the effect of that unknown substance, it was already a blur of flesh and blood, even if Xiu Qi still had enough physical strength, it was unlikely that he would be able to walk on such feet, so he had to be carried forward by an ability person in Miya's team.
There was no word all the way, even Feng Che, who had the most lively personality on weekdays, did not move on this rapid road, as if no one felt incomprehensible about the previous behavior of the nine, and they all kept silent about it.
There was still some distance from the outskirts of City A, and the people who had been walking silently for more than half an hour did not have any intention of leaving this ghost place in one breath, and in a remote alley, they chose a small restaurant that was so dilapidated that it almost blended in with their mood at the moment as a foothold to rest temporarily.
It wasn't until the last man closed the door of the restaurant, and the darkness reigned over the tavern that had been deposited in a terrible night more than a year ago, and at this time, the people who had wandered between life and death once were able to bring down a heart that hung high, and everyone either stood silently, or slumped in their chairs, or even lay directly on the ground, and no one spoke, only a burst of gasps that sounded like panic echoed in this cramped space.
Time seems to pass very slowly, so slow that even if it seems to have rested for a long time, there is still a rather unsteady breathing sound that brings everyone a depressing feeling, and at this time, someone finally speaks and breaks this oppressive atmosphere.
"This time, it's my fault, I'm a little too arrogant, I didn't expect that kind of monster to exist... I'll report my mistake when I go back this time. ”
It was Mia who spoke, at this moment she was obviously reflecting on her use of teasing more than a dozen dead corpses as a means of relaxation, and she was not wrong about her understanding of herself, although there was no clear prohibition in the organization, it was obviously an unscrupulous to the point of excessive behavior. Miya blamed herself, because she felt that if it weren't for her own behavior, she wouldn't have attracted that terrifying monster, so there would be no series of dangerous battles, and she was not a person who liked to evade responsibility, so she took advantage of the fact that she sincerely admitted her mistakes to her teammates now, and even expressed her willingness to accept the punishment that the organization might give to her in the future.
"If you apologize, you better start with Chief Teng's side first, after all, we are injured at most, but Chief Teng's side is missing two people this time.." Feng Che seemed to answer Miya inadvertently, and when he said this, he also glanced at Teng Shan's side as if he didn't have any, as expected, his face was shrouded in shadows, and he couldn't see what kind of expression Teng Shan was at this moment, but in Feng Che's mind, it should be more depressing than the atmosphere here, right?
"Uh..?" Miya obviously didn't expect Feng Che to answer herself like this, and for a moment, she unconsciously moved her gaze to Teng Shan and a group of them, to be honest, this is the first time that Miya has carefully looked at this group of people since the previous meeting between the two sides.
"No need." Teng Shan, who had not made a sound all along, spoke before Mia, and his tone was so steady that people wondered if this person had feelings: "The two soldiers who died were caused by our own lack of ability, and they have nothing to do with you, so there is no need for Miss Miya to blame herself." ”
didn't want to say anything, then Teng Shan turned around and walked towards the inside of the restaurant, wanting to find a place with few people to 'rest', but only after two steps, Teng Shan still stopped, didn't turn around, just turned his back to Feng Che and said: "Mr. Feng, if you have no opinion, I hope the cooperation between us will not end because of this accident, you see?" ”
"Huh? Oh, of course, I didn't plan to break up. Feng Che was stunned for a moment.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Teng Shan said 'um' and walked straight to the darker part of the restaurant.
Feng Che looked at the back that was quickly swallowed up by the pitch black, and somehow, suddenly sounded the words that the other party had said when he had a long conversation with this person all night.
"You're right, unlike you, we're members of the Hope Organization now."
"But before that, we were soldiers."
