Chapter 42: Choice (1st Update)
Chapter 42 Selection (1st Update)
Allow me to rewind the clock for a few minutes.
Lin Mo heard an explosion that pierced through the mist.
He returned to the rooftop, ready to go down through the other rooftop entrance, and jump out of the building directly on the lower floor.
However, he had barely reached the rooftop when he heard a low call behind him.
"Lin Mo."
It was a weak girl's voice, and you didn't have to guess to know that it was the Ice Awakened Man Mugu Yan.
Lin Mo's footsteps paused slightly, but he still turned his head and looked at the girl who was struggling to drag the bodies of his parents.
"I hope you can help me."
The girl's face is whiter than before, but it doesn't seem scary at the moment, but there is a kind of stunning beauty, but she is really about to reach the limit, and she may fall and pass out at any time.
And the soldiers below don't know how long they can hold on, with her at this moment, with her parents, she can't escape at all.
And the awakened man who can fire cannons with his body seems to be able to locate them from a distance.
But Lin Mo, he didn't even dare to be sure that he would be able to run away.
Why should he care about this mess of idle business?
Lin Mo took a step back slightly, he repeatedly warned himself in his heart, this is the end of the world, no one can help anyone, no matter how miserable and pitiful the other party looks.
The girl saw Lin Mo's retreat, she could understand Lin Mo's approach, but it was definitely not what she wanted to see, she took a difficult step forward towards Lin Mo with her two heavy bodies on the left and right: "I'm willing to stop him for you - I just hope you can take them away." β
Lin Mo shook his head, he really couldn't say anything, his reason overcame his feelings, and he chose a cold and safe plan, but he really couldn't face all this.
He took a breath, didn't say a word, and turned to leave.
However, he had barely taken two steps when a muffled sound came from behind him.
The girl finally couldn't support it anymore, her eyes were dark, and she completely fainted.
Lin Mo had just taken a step, but he stopped because of this.
He took a deep breath and repeatedly warned himself that Lin Qianqian was a lesson from the past, he even struggled to protect himself, why should he care about other people's affairs?
However...... This girl had saved his life before.
The rumbling explosions downstairs had stopped by this time.
And Lin Mo heard a low call at this moment.
Makitani's father didn't know when he woke up.
Lin Mo turned around, and the man smiled.
"That...... People, is it really that strong? β
Lin Mo nodded: "The battle downstairs is almost over." β
The middle-aged man looked at his unconscious wife and daughter beside him, her daughter was almost out of strength at that time, and his physique was much better than that of the middle-aged woman, so he woke up the fastest
In fact, he had already woken up when Lin Mo was talking to the girl.
He wanted more, if it was just Lin Mo who insisted on leaving, it could only be said that Lin Mo was too cautious, and now that his daughter, a girl who could manipulate the ice, also insisted on leaving, even at the expense of knocking out her parents, then he had to seriously consider it.
At this moment, the middle-aged man has realized something.
He looked at Lin Mo: "Uncle may be really naΓ―ve, at such an age, he always hopes to be stable and unchanging."
"And such a person, I'm afraid that he can't survive in such a world, even if he can survive today, he won't survive next time, and he can only drag his daughter to death-
"You don't owe anything to your uncle, but please take my daughter away for the sake of those bread and biscuits."
Lin Mo looked at this person, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Uncle doesn't have much ability, but he can stop you for a few seconds." The middle-aged man smiled and put his hand in his pocket, as if he wanted to take out a cigarette, but after all, he still took out nothing.
He rubbed his hands and looked at Lin Mo.
And what can Lin Mo say?
He felt a heavy feeling in his heart, he only nodded, walked over to the middle-aged man, and picked up the unconscious girl horizontally.
The girl's body was as light as a feather.
The middle-aged man looked at the girl's pale face: "It's been hard for her in the past two days." β
Lin Mo was still silent, bowed to the man with the girl in his arms, and turned to walk towards the entrance of the other rooftop.
And the middle-aged man shouted from afar, "Thank you, young man." β
Lin Mo just stopped, didn't say a word, came to the entrance of the rooftop, and walked step by step, his steps getting bigger and faster, as if he was trying to avoid the awakened person who might be chased and killed at any time.
But...... It's more like I don't want to look at the man rubbing his hands and laughing.
In the darkness and fog, the wind grew colder.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
When Lin Mo jumped out of the window on the second floor and landed steadily, he heard a loud bang from the top of the building.
He glanced back, and faintly felt that in the depths of the invisible fog, at the top of the seventeen-story building, a pair of indifferent eyes were staring at him coldly.
For the first time, Lin Mo thought, let's kill him if he has the chance.
Kill the Caucasian man who can fire a cannon with his bare hands.
Whether it's an awakened person or not.
His eyes were as red as blood in the depths of the mist, but he didn't notice it himself, and beneath his feet, the scarlet vines squirmed uneasily.
Lin Mo took a deep look, and rushed into the deeper fog with a girl as light as a feather.
He had completely lost his way in the city, and he believed that he might not have been able to get out of a provincial capital on his own, even without the overwhelming fog.
About two or three kilometers after rushing out, after making sure that he got rid of the awakened person behind him, Lin Mo stopped, he didn't dare to enter the narrow corridor, and helped the girl to sit down by a street lamp.
And he gasped for breath.
Because of the mutation, although he has been exercising, he does not feel too tired, and the only bad feeling is the hunger that rushes into his heart like a tidal wave.
He looked at the pale girl, and could barely resist the urge to go up and bite her throat and taste the blood.
It took Lin Mo a long time to suppress the urge to eat people and sit on the ground.
Before his ass could heat up, he heard a clear whistling in the air.
However, at this moment, Lin Mo already knew that the howling was not actually one, but the result of countless sounds converging in one place.
That's a flock of mutant grey sparrows?
At that time, Lin Mo was so shocked that he jumped up from the ground in fright.
This time, however, he made a fuss, and although the howl was clear, it was in a very high position, and it didn't stop at all.
Under Lin Mo's vigilance, the howling sound became farther and farther away, and finally turned into a sound that seemed to be absent in the sky.
Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief again and sat back on the ground, all he could do now was to wait for Mu Guyan, a local, to wake up and show the way.
Otherwise, he himself might not be able to get out of the city from exhaustion to death.
Of course, the best-case scenario is to join up with the remnants of the city's army.
Lin Mo thought, the regular army can't be like the Holy Judgment and don't treat the lives of these refugees as human lives, right?
In his thoughts, Lin Mo suddenly heard a mutter.
Girlish...... Woke up.
