Chapter 25: Blessing
With the help of Jenny's unconscious, Jiang Ke and the others regained their freedom. During the time of his release, Jaime tried to clench his fists and spread them as far as he could to keep his hands supplied and flexible. The moment the rope was removed from him, he immediately crawled to Jiang Ke's side to bandage him.
Jaime held back to keep his hands from trembling, and he watched Jiang Ke approach his shattered legs, feeling his forehead hot, all the anger and unwillingness hitting his brain, making him barely able to think.
Jaime couldn't help but glance up at Jiang Ke, his face was pale, and his eye sockets, which were already a little sunken inward, were sinking deeper at the moment, but his expression was still serene, and the corners of his mouth were engraved with lines showing perseverance and composure. Jaime swallowed and continued to treat Jiang Ke's wound seriously.
Jiang Ke handed over Jackson's things to Jenny as agreed, and then prepared to stand up.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, it'll be good right away." Jaime pressed Jiang Ke, who was trying to get up, and as soon as he spoke, he suddenly looked a little hoarse, not knowing whether it was caused by anxiety or fear.
Jiang Ke glanced down at his wound and said lightly, "It's almost fine, and I'll take further care when it's safe." With that, he gave Jaime a gentle nudge and slowly stood up.
"Why did they light the bonfire?" Ruby saw the light of the fire outside, and the beeping of burning wood made it impossible not to care.
Jaime smiled weakly, "Probably going to roast us and eat it." β
Jenny sat on her knees, holding the white bag as if she had found a treasure. She looked up and said, "Chris said that if we catch you, the Creator will bless us. β
"What?!" Jaime and Ruby's eyes widened as they spoke.
Jiang Ke tore a strip of cloth and quickly hooped his legs, he tried to take two steps, pointed to the backpack on the ground and said, "Okay, take the things, let's go!" β
The three of them carried their stuff on their backs and quietly sneaked out of the tent.
The injuries on Jiang Ke's legs seriously affected his movements, and one of the knives seemed to have injured his nerves, making it impossible for him to completely control his nerves. Every step he took him a lot of strength and spirit. On this cold day, in a moment, his head was covered with cold sweat.
Three huge bonfires stood in the center of the camp, and the place where the meeting place was once in flames. The people of the fire-roasted camp were stuffy and hot, and their nerves had not rested for a day, and now they were about to meet the messenger of the Creator, which made their already tired spirits even more burdened, and they dragged their heavy steps to and fro, not noticing the three men who passed through the shadows.
Jiang Ke and the others quickly withdrew from the camp and fled in the direction of Anchorage, which was the safest place they thought was nearby, even the "Beast's Nest" was stronger than the "Demon Cave".
Andrew, who had been hiding nearby, sensed the aura of his master and immediately sought it out.
"Quick! You two lead Andrew to step on the corpse rot! Under Jiang Ke's command, Ruby and Jaime took Andrew to do so.
There was a "hum" of a paddle spinning in the sky, and a helicopter slowly entered their field of vision from a distance.
"This is the Creator? High-tech, and helicopters. Jaime pouted, apparently unretouched by the messengers of the Creator.
"Stop talking, we won't be able to leave without taking advantage of the night." Jiang Ke didn't stop, turned around and limped to the front, and James and Ruby hurriedly followed.
As they got closer and closer to the city, the helicopter behind them arrived at the camp. When the helicopter landed, there was a huge wind on the ground, three bonfires were flaming, and there were many people around, some were crying and trying to crawl over to touch the messenger's feet, and some were excitedly shouting for help.
They were shouting, shouting, and dancing. For a moment, the camp was like a group of ghosts gathering, and the demons were dancing wildly.
Tsk, what a touching meeting. Jaime commented, shaking his head.
"Jaime, you're so optimistic." Ruby glanced back at the camp with a blank face, having experienced the baptism of the military base, they all knew what would happen next in this small camp. It was an unspeakable sin, and even if you just thought about it, you could feel the evil aura that emanated from it.
After a while, as the helicopter turned off its engine, the surrounding sounds gradually quieted down. A moment later, even though they were far away, Jiang Ke and the others could still faintly hear the angry shouts of people coming from the camp, as well as the sharp tearing and crying of women.
"Bang!" Gunshots rang out in the camp, and the scene became more and more noisy.
Jaime shrank at the sudden attack and staggered a few steps forward.
Ruby subconsciously hugged Jiang Ke's arm.
Jiang Ke said in a deep voice, "Don't worry so much, keep going!" β
"Bang bang bang!" A continuous stream of strafing fire rang out in the camp.
"Are they all dead?" Ruby asked with a shudder, it was hard to imagine that the person who had been trying to hurt the three of them a moment ago had all turned into a corpse at this moment.
"Why die! It's better to die, they dare to do this to Ke. Jaime said angrily.
Jiang Ke was silent, just continued to walk hard. With the direction of his memory, he walked towards the nearby airport.
β¦β¦
Chris sat in his chair in agony, shivering at the slightest sound; From time to time, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and these cold sweats were like dense raindrops before a storm.
A man in a suit in the camp had his foot on Daisy's head and a gun pointed at her.
"Nope! Don't kill Daisy! I'm willing to do anything! Chris shook his head desperately, his screaming was heartbreaking.
To protect himself, he lured the Grim Reaper to him. The camp, which was originally quite orderly, was now a mess, with blood, body fluids, and alcohol all over the ground, and people were still excited when they were shot and almost had no ability to fight back.
"Oh? What do you think you can do for me? The man in the suit slowly turned his head and looked at Chris. Chris's feeling at the moment must be the feeling of the lark seeing the falcon hovering overhead, and the circle is getting smaller and smaller.
"I'm going to get them! Give me another chance, I'll get it back! Chris knelt in front of the man in the suit.
"Just you?" The man in the suit laughed contemptuously.
"Trust me! That Asian leg is basically useless! I can catch them! Chris was drenched in cold sweat, and he shivered as he sobbed.
The man in the suit touched the bridge of his tall nose and smiled slightly, "Well, yes, I'll give you a chance." β
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Chris kowtowed desperately, but the gunshots still rang out in front of him.
"Ahh Daisy writhed in pain.
"No......" The words begging for mercy were not yet uttered, and the man in the suit turned his gun to Chris and shot it.
"Don't worry, you've gotten to the point. In the case of a normal person, he can live for 6-7 hours. Do you understand what I mean? The man in the suit pressed the fiery muzzle of his gun to Chris's forehead, and the burning skin smelled like barbecue.
Chris shook his head in pain. He had been crushed by the sudden calamity, and he had said that he was willing to sacrifice everyone in the camp, but he did not expect such a simple and brutal way. He shuddered, stared blankly at the scene around him, and was speechless.
The man in the suit pulled out an iron box from his lined pocket, "Let me bless you now." β
Chris's expression changed.
The man in the suit took out the object in the iron box, which was a small syringe with a strange dark green liquid inside.
Chris lay on his back frail and submissive, a pleasant numbness permeating every vein in his body. He looked at the man in the suit strangely, one hand pressing on the wound he had just been shot from. Daisy is tied to a stake by the man in the suit and left to fend for herself.
A few minutes passed and nothing happened.
"The new breed doesn't seem to work?" The men in the suits began to exchange heads.
The man in the suit was obviously not a very patient man, and he began to fight the prisoners one by one, and the gunshots rang out one after another beside Chris.
He glanced at his feet, and the bodies were none other than Duke, Eloy, Enoch, and George.
"Doesn't seem to have any effect?" The man in the suit tilted his head and squinted at Chris.
The man in the suit raised his gun, aiming it at Chris's liver. Chris, pale, trembling, stepped back like a visitor who had seen a snake, touched a chair, and sat down on it.
"Hmph. Waste is waste. The man in the suit scoffed, grabbed Chris's hair, easily dragged him in front of Daisy, and shot at Daisy.
"Bang!"
"So there's only about 5 hours left", the man in the suit indifferently calculated the time of Daisy's death.
Chris's head was tilted back, but his hands were stretched forward. His gaze was fixed and silent, staring at the terrible sight before him. Then he jerked back again, leaning against the wall, and let out a cry of sorrow, sorrow, and sorrow.
"Bang!"
"Well, I guess there's still 2 hours left."
The man in the suit glanced at Chris, and seeing that he still hadn't changed, he slowly raised his pistol and pointed it at Daisy's head, pulling the trigger.
Just as the hammer was about to hit the firing pin, a hand blocked the bullet.
It's Chris.
At this moment, his wounds began to heal, and his weak body, which had been caused by long-term drug use, began to become stronger.
βBRAVO!β The corners of the man in the suit curled slightly, and he clapped his hands and said, "Do you know the effect of blessing now?" Make the most of the last 2 hours and don't let me down. β
The man in the suit snapped his fingers, and two people appeared next to him, and pulled out a hound.
"Since you didn't forecast in advance, it seems that you missed it." Man in a suit
"Give you the opportunity to atone for your sins. Go ahead. β
After the three of them received the order, they asked the hound to ask Jiang Ke about the bloodstains left by him, and then disappeared into the night.
"Stop, stop." Jiang Ke sat down against the wall, beads of sweat the size of beans hanging all over his face.
Jaime and Ruby hurriedly supported Jiang Ke alone, and their knees rubbed against Jiang Ke's legs, feeling wet.
"Bleeding." Jaime blankly pressed his hand on Jiang Ke's leg, but there were too many wounds, and he didn't know where to press.
Ruby took out a bottle of water and handed it to Jiang Ke to drink.
Jiang Ke weakly grabbed Jaime's collar with his hand and dragged it in front of him, "Listen to me!" Take Ruby and hide in the supermarket! You can hold out for a while. β
"Supermarket? What about you? "Jaime seems to be much calmer this time than he was last time.
"Ahem. Just in case. Come on! I can't run away with blood, but you can! "Jiang Ke
Jaime had tears in his eyes, but this time he dragged Ruby away without saying a word.
Jiang Ke watched them leave, "Okay, the next thing is my own battle." β
Re-fixing the bandage on his lower leg, Jiang Ke took out the dagger and held it in his hand.
"Woohoo!"
"I've found it!" Voices were heard not far away.
"This way! Keep up! β
Footsteps are getting closer.
I saw Jiang Ke's feet rising flat, his head drooping, and his hands hanging weakly on both sides.
"! He's dead? One of them scolded and bent down to check Jiang Ke's pulse.
Jiang Ke is waiting for this moment, even if it's one!
"Stop! He's alive! Another shouted.
The man who stretched out his hand hurriedly stepped back.
"!" But it was still too late, Jiang Ke grabbed his arm and dragged him to his side, and the prepared dagger pierced the heart steadily.
"Hehe, it's all like this, and he's still so alive, no wonder the master wants to capture him alive. Behold, I have unloaded your limbs. β
Jiang Ke did not have the slightest fear on his face, because even if they were made of two legs, ordinary people, he would still have confidence in three.
Unexpectedly, the remaining two suppressed Jiang Ke's hands at a very fast speed, and one of them had already taken out a machete and slashed at Jiang Ke's hand.
Jiang Ke was not afraid, nor did he waver, at this moment he just raised his head and looked at the sky, with a relaxed smile on his face.
"Captain, it seems that you still don't want me to follow you!" Jiang Ke sighed in Chinese in his mouth, and the two people on the side were stunned, glanced at each other and continued the previous action.
But the strange thing is that Jiang Ke, who was almost weak to them just now, suddenly couldn't hold it back.
A faint silver glow began to glow on Jiang Ke's body, and blood no longer oozed from his legs.
