Chapter 58: Conflict
A sanctuary soldier bent down and walked in, glanced at Huang Quan, and saw that he was covered in blood and flesh and wounds everywhere, and there was some admiration in his eyes, and said, "It's a tough guy!" It's worth having one to yourself. General Yu asked me to send you some wound medicine, this bottle for external use, and other oral use. ”
He handed Huang Quan a bottle of potion and a few pills and turned to leave. It was clear that he didn't want to stay here any longer.
Huang Quan picked up the medicine, the light in the depths of his pupils changed, and he began to scan the ingredients of the medicine. The potion is just ordinary alcohol with some antiseptic ingredients added to it, and the pills are basic anti-inflammatory drugs.
However, although they are ordinary, they treat trauma symptomatically, and on the battlefield, it is already thankful that anti-inflammatory drugs can be available.
Huang Quan put away the pill and washed the wound with a potion. Although he has biochemical organs in his body and does not need anti-inflammatory drugs, others may be able to use them.
After a while, Huang Quan treated the wound of his entire body, bandaged the largest wound on the back of his waist, and then mobilized all the biochemical equipment responsible for repairing it to that part and did his best to repair the wound.
He wasn't ready to change his clothes, he was still wearing the tattered, blood-soaked combat suit. At the same time, deliberately in the conspicuous place, leaving a few wounds without quick repair.
Huang Quan always felt that the attitude of the soldiers in the shelter was a bit strange, and when he observed the scale of the outer camp, he did a material analysis by the way, and the latest camp was built more than fifty years ago.
In other words, at that time, there were often humans from outside who wanted to enter the shelter, so such a large centralized isolation camp would be set up. Visually inspecting all the outlying camps combined, there are enough people to live in.
But now all the camps are uninhabited, which means that in the last ten years, there have been no settlements of lost people returning.
What happened during this time that caused the shelter to be so depressed?
A major rout of the Divine Radiance is unlikely, and if the content of the mural left by the ogre is true, then the tug-of-war between the Holy Radiance and the unknown force will probably take thousands of years. More than ten years have only changed the situation in the blink of an eye.
So what is the reason?
Huang Quan pondered quietly, perhaps waiting until he entered the core area and saw the real shelter before he could come up with the answer.
As the day was about to dawn, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Huang Quan awoke from his contemplation, got up and walked out of the shack, and saw several shelter warriors confronting the settlers, one of whom was holding a settlement girl in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was against the girl's back.
The girl sobbed under her breath, her whole body trembled, and she looked terrified.
Among the settlers, a young hunter looked particularly excited, struggling desperately to pounce, but was held by the others.
The shelter fighters pointed their guns at the settlers, and one of them shouted, "What are you going to do?" Want to die? ”
"What do you want to do? At this time, where do you want to take Zhuzhu with you? The young man shouted excitedly.
The shelter warrior sneered, "It's none of your business where you take it. You guys from outside, you have to go through the scrutiny. As for who will be tried first, and who will be judged, and how it will be tried, we have the final say, do you understand, boy? ”
The young hunter's face turned red, and he drew his short knife sharply, and shouted, "I will never let you take Zhuzhu with me!" We lost people are not easy to bully! ”
The Sanctuary warrior laughed, "Just the descendants of a bunch of exiled guys, how noble do you think you are?" ”
The other fighters also burst into laughter, as if hearing the funniest joke in the world.
A sanctuary warrior slapped the girl on the ass and said with a strange smile, "To be honest, it's your blessing to be liked by us!" Playing with us and not missing a piece of meat, I'll return it to you in two days. ”
The settlers didn't know what they meant at this time, and they were all so angry that they wanted to explode, but they were pointed at by the muzzle of the black hole, and barely broke out.
A grim-faced warrior stepped forward, put his gun on the young hunter's head, and shouted, "What, what do you want to do with your sword?" Are you trying to stab us? Isn't it, isn't it? ”
With each question, he would poke the hunter in the head with the muzzle of his gun, harder and harder.
Seeing that the settlers were about to erupt, the shelter soldiers pulled the bolts of their guns and loaded their bullets, and one shouted, "Don't you want to live anymore?" If you don't want to stay here, get out of here, the rainforest is where you should be! The ogres outside will be happy to add a dish! ”
"We can't leave, and it's not up to you to decide!" One of the settlers shouted angrily.
Several of the shelter fighters looked at each other, laughed, and said, "I'm really sorry, it's hard to say that we will kick you all out, but if we want to blast out half of it, we really have the final say." Now say it yourself, who is going to go out like this kid? I can give you five places! ”
The settlers immediately looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The girl Zhuzhu suddenly said, "Don't drive them out, I'll go with you!" ”
"No way!" The young hunter shouted.
"Shut up!" The Shelter Warrior slammed the butt of his rifle into the young hunter's face, bleeding profusely. In the process, the settlers on both sides grabbed the young hunter's arm and prevented him from fighting back.
The shelter warrior who was holding the girl suddenly let go of his hand and sneered: "You can not go with us, but five of these people will be exchanged, and those who come out will get out immediately!" Now it's up to you to decide what you want to do. ”
There was silence for a moment.
Everyone knows that without the Life Stone, even the most powerful samurai will not be able to survive in the rainforest for a week. The best outcome is nothing more than turning into a monster, and what will happen when you become a monster, no one knows.
In the past, when you turned into a monster, you were either killed on the spot by the settlers or disappeared into the depths of the rainforest.
To name five people is to ask them to die.
As for the resistance, no one is crazy, and after witnessing the battle between the Sanctuary warriors and the cannibals, the settlers know that resistance is destruction. What's more, now all the shotguns and ammunition in their hands have been taken away.
The young hunter's face was contorted and in agony. Let him exchange the lives of five of his clan for beads, how can this be done?
Perhaps the only solution is to fight for his own life. But the settlers held on to him firmly, for fear that he would do something irrational and affect everyone.
At this time, whether the settlers are selfish or the young hunters are selfish, I'm afraid no one can say.
The maiden stood where she was, free to return to her people at any time. But she couldn't take any steps out, and the price of going back was the exile of five clansmen, and five lives!
The way the settlers looked at her and the young hunter, the eyes were quietly changing. No matter who you are, when it comes to your own life, it is always difficult to make the decision to sacrifice yourself.
They didn't say it explicitly, but the change in their expressions revealed their intentions. It only takes a small sacrifice to save so many people, why can't it be a girl who sacrifices? Moreover, in the settlement, it is also the strong who choose women.
At this moment, the girl also understood the meaning of the silence of the clansmen. She said calmly, "I will go with you, and do not embarrass my people. ”
"No!" The young hunter struggled desperately, but was held down by his people. He was furious and shouted, "Are you still not human? ”
The faces of the settlers were all ugly, and one of them said unceremoniously: "Do you want us to die for her alone?" Why wasn't it you who died? ”
"I can die!"
"It doesn't matter if you die, but don't bother everyone!"
The soldiers of the shelter stood with their guns in their hands, looking at the settlers who were arguing with them with a look of a joke, but they were not in a hurry to take Zhuzhu away.
Finally, a warrior felt that it was almost enough, reached out and pushed the girl, and said, "Let's go!" ”
Like a puppet, the girl walked mechanically towards the gate of the camp.
At the open gate, there was a towering figure blocking the way.
"She has nothing to judge." Huang Quan's voice was low.
