Chapter 176: Goodbye, Old Times (3)
In the small room, there were only two people, Duck and Isabella.
They successfully completed the mission and returned to New Paghda after successfully throwing the Rongdian Slime culture tank into the gastric ciliary forest in Kunshabi.
As soon as they came back, the two of them heard the news of Salong's suicide, and they both sighed, a tyrant who used intrigue and trickery to stir up the situation on the peninsula, chose to say goodbye to the world in this way, which is embarrassing. Fortunately, though, he still retains his self-esteem.
People die and hate each other, and everything is over.
Now Ibn Khaldun is in charge of administrative affairs, Aladdin is in charge of the guards, Basher and other members of the Eye of Light are doing their best to do their missionary work, counting the number of people who are willing to leave Kunshabi's belly, and the leader of the puppet team, Selim, leads the warriors of the puppet team such as Mansur and Zakaliya to maintain order.
The Black Guard was disbanded, the girls returned to their parents and loved ones, and the homeless joined the war puppet team.
The Steel Rock Slime has entered the special Flame Seal cultivation tank, and the ignorant children are looking forward to escaping from the "terrible adults" and the "outside world" promised to it by their big sister.
Everything is going in an orderly manner.
For a while, Duck and Isabella were idle.
Isabella sat on Duck's lap and snuggled up in her lover's arms, quietly listening to his heartbeat.
Neither of them spoke, just hugged with satisfaction.
After a long time, Isabella raised her teary eyes: "Duck, Duck, I'm so tired, I want to rest! Let's find a place to hide and don't care about anything, right?"
Duck gently wiped away the girl's tears, "Listen to you, but George still owes us a salary! You've got to help me. ”
"Don't mention that unhappy guy, let's find a place where no one knows us, no cruel angels, no slimes, I'll be a governess, teach children to read and write. You'll be my assistant, okay?"
"Forget it, my head will scare the children. Let's go and carry the work, haha. ”
"If that's the case, it's hard for you—I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. ”
"No, George is responsible for the design of the Steel Rock House, and we can get in and out. ”
"I'm not talking about the House of Steel, I'm talking about ourselves. Did you feel anything unusual after driving the cruel angel?"
"No, what, how do you feel?"
"Well, there's a point, I always feel like I'm becoming her, Duck, I wasn't kidding, let's find a place where no one lives, forget about that, okay?"
"No problem, when this is over, we'll leave it. When the time comes, I'll talk to George, and now the priority is to get 20,000 people out. Let's hope they will be well. How's it going over there in Kunshabi?"
"It agreed to let us out, but asked us to get rid of the 'poison'. ”
"Now that you know how powerful the Rongdian Slime is, don't even think about when we're going out, when we're going to put the antidote on it. ”
"How do you release the antidote when you go out?"
"Some of the outer walls of the steel rock houses have special interlayers, which will be dissolved by its stomach acid and release an antidote. Of course, the control switch of the mezzanine is in our hands, whether to put it or not, and when to put it we have the final say. An intelligent being, forced to negotiate terms with a group of parasites, and suffered such a big loss, it is simply impossible to have a little resentment and not make it bad. We have to be on guard. ”
"Yes, as soon as we leave New Paghda, we lose our strong defenses, and we must let it be cautious about us, or we will be in trouble. ”
Duck laughed: "The immortal epic creatures in the desert, famous and famous, now turn around to be 'cautious' with small humans, look, it won't be long before caution turns into awe, into fear." The progress of mankind is so fast, too fast. I'm even a little worried. ”
"Worried about what?"
"Just a few years ago, a magic cannon was considered a priceless treasure, and now, it is not very difficult to make a cruel angel, what will come next? Humanity has gradually gained superiority over all living beings, and now that epic creatures have to bow to fully armed humans, what else can humans fear?
"Perhaps, in the future, only we are worthy of respect, right?"
Duck shook his head, "That's not the world I wanted. What the New World will look like, I don't know, but it must not be a slaughterhouse full of hope, strife, intrigue, and slaughter. Advanced technology should not be a tool to hasten the destruction of mankind. However, it is better than this world full of fanaticism and ignorance, so although we are unwilling, we cannot but walk on this road, and even be a pioneer in opening the way. ”
"Dark......
Darker smiled slightly: "Anyway, Lala, it's okay, with you, the road is not difficult." Come, kiss one. ”
"You go away!"
At this time, Ibn al-Hardun and Basher were in full swing at the launch site of the House of Steel.
Ibn al-Khaldun asked: "Is there any news from Kunshabi?"
Bai Sher immediately replied: "According to the news from the liaison officer, Kunshabi has agreed to give way, and the time is set for noon tomorrow. ”
"How's the preparation going?"
"About eighty percent of the way through, most of the Steelstone Houses are ready and ready to float at the sound of an order. ”
"Load-bearing?"
"There are three kinds of steel rock houses, large, medium and small, the large ones can accommodate 100 people, the small ones are about 40 people, and the average is 60 or 70 people each, because it is a short trip, there is no need to carry provisions, and the people have been informed to carry only their personal clothes, and the outside world is ready to welcome us. ”
"Well, if we go up to the ground, we will face the siege of countless sandworms, and the people outside can kill through the siege and rescue 20,000 people?"
"It's not going to happen. The sandworms are under the control of Kunshabi, and Kunshabi has been caught by us in the weakness, and there will be people who will stay behind to break the queen, and before they come out, the vanguard is absolutely safe. ”
"Lord Hassan and his wife, as well as the city hero Mansur and Aladdin, the god of lights," added Bescher, "they all stayed of their own free will. ”
Ibn al-Haldun was silent.
"Why, my lord, do you have any doubts?"
"After all, we have been separated from the outside world for too long, and now, listening to Hassan's words, it is a bit ...... to decide the fate of 20,000 people"
"What else can we do? Since Hassan and the others can come in, the army behind them will continue to flow, and it is better to take the initiative to approach them than to be a second-class citizen who lives in the eyes of others. ”
Ibn al-Haldun sighed.
"Actually, I don't think I need to worry too much. Since the forces out there are willing to fight even the Yulias, there is no reason to refuse us—our ancestors came here with the noble ideals of saving the Arab. ”
"Now that's all I can think about, let's talk about something else, what about those who don't want to leave?"
Bai Sher smiled slyly, "The subordinates have arranged for them to disperse in groups of fifty people to underground bunkers, where shields and metal structures will help them defend against acid meteors. ”
"A group of fifty?"
Bai Sher smiled, "That's right, when they're all in, bang!" he made a gesture of flying upward, "Come out with us!"
