Xiao Chen vigorously picked up a concrete block the size of a grinding disc, stepped down from the rubble, and threw the stone on the stone pile in the clearing. Then, without much breath, he took two or three steps up the stone pile.

Chen Hansheng followed him with a similar stone, and next to him was Liu Yisheng, who was speechless, although this guy had a bad brain, but his strength was really not covered, and he was almost twice as big as Xiao Chen when he held a stone. They each threw down a piece of cement and crawled back onto the rubble. Chen Hansheng took two breaths and said, "Xiao Chen, I'll just say that you are amazing." The people around us who came up with us have already changed a group of people, and you are still not red, breathless, or tired at all?"

Xiao Chen was stunned by his question, and said a little strangely: "This cement block is not too heavy, right? It doesn't take much effort." ”

"It's not heavy, it's very light!" Liu Yisheng grinned.

"Haha. Chen Hansheng was so angry and funny, he didn't pay attention to the muddy man at all, and said to Xiao Chen, "What are you kidding, have you seen my body, I've already gone down to rest twice." You've never done this kind of menial work before, and you don't know how to do it. Just the big cement you just moved down, at least more than 100 catties. ”

"How is this possible? How long have we been doing this?"

"It's been two hours. ”

Xiao Chen opened his mouth and stammered, and then he himself felt that something was wrong, before the change, with his body and bones, let alone transporting things, even if he ran up and down empty-handed for two hours, he was already out of breath. But now, he just feels that he is full of energy and his limbs are comfortable, like an athlete who has done a good warm-up exercise and is preparing to compete.

Is it the same as my eyesight, but it has also changed? I raised my hands and looked at it, it was still the same as before, white and thin, very slender. At first glance, it is only suitable for holding a scroll, not carrying a stone.

He picked up a two-finger-thick steel bar from the ground and broke it with all his might, but the steel bar didn't respond. Liu Yisheng didn't understand what he was doing, and following his example, a steel bar was immediately folded into a U-shape. Xiao Chen glanced at the muscular man helplessly, his strength was good, and his endurance had improved, but he still hadn't become a fierce man like someone.

At the other end of the school, Wang Jiyuan is checking the post.

"Report to the head of the group, everything is normal here, it's ......"

"It's what, don't spit out. ”

"That's it...... It's just not good. The soldier with the gun said with some embarrassment.

"Sluggish?"

"It's just that I'm panicking. ”

"What's wrong with you, kid? Learn Aunt Qiong Yao's sentimentality?"

The soldier's face turned a little red, and his cheeks trembled for a long time before he spit out one word: "Homesickness." ”

Wang Jiyuan was a little silent for a while, and finally could only pat him on the shoulder.

The warrior's shoulder was touched by him, and he trembled even more, and the tears fell without stopping, "Woo...... Before, you used to be able to visit relatives and go home, but now, woo...... There is no fake, nowhere to go. ”

After the soldier said this, he wiped his face with his sleeve, stood upright, and said loudly: "Report to the regiment commander, I didn't ...... Didn't cry, this ...... It's rain. ”

Wang Jiyuan nodded, saluted the soldiers, and walked to the next sentry with Sergeant Shi Hao. At this time, the light rain that had been falling was heavier, hitting people and cold in people's hearts.

The silence was unbearable, Shi Hao probably wanted to break this silence and said: "Commander, listen to that Silo said, except for their town, there are no people around, is it a bit of a waste of manpower for us to spread sentry posts like this? Several comrades-in-arms have told me privately that they feel that it is more urgent to save people. ”

"There is nothing else tonight that is more important than keeping most people safe. ”

"But now most of the rescue team is students, and their physical strength and stamina are very limited, if we can spare half of them to help them......"

"Say no more. We had to make sacrifices for the sake of this guarantee of security. Wang Jiyuan stopped, looking at the tall building that turned into a silhouette in the night, and the ruins on the side of the tall building that were illuminated by firelight, "Stone, you remember, we soldiers are always the people who know how to sacrifice the most. Sacrifice not only yourself, but also others. ”

"They're just ordinary students. ”

"In a strange and wild world, we can sacrifice anyone for everyone to survive. I, you, Xiao Chen, or Principal Guo. It just depends on whether the times have chosen us. ”

"Do you have to choose?"

"Yes. Wang Jiyuan walked forward again, turned his head slightly and said, "Don't avoid the moment of making a choice." ”

It was time for the shift change again, and a group of students who had taken the turn to rest before dragged their tired steps and slowly climbed up the ruins with tools. Rao is Xiao Chen's physical strength is not what it used to be, and he also feels very tired. A light rain fell on the rocky ruins, making an irritating rustle.

Xiao Chen saw a student not far away, who fell on the gravel because the ground was slippery. He hurried to help him, and as soon as he got to him, the student staggered to his feet, bleeding from his forehead, and his face was very hideous.

The student gasped for breath and leaned on his back, slowly raised his head, stared at the sky, and let out a loud shout.

"Ah~~~!" he roared, waving the shovel in his hand and smashing it into the sky. "Damn my God, I'm going home! I'm going home! I'm going home...... Ah......" The shovel flew three or four meters before it fell weakly, Xiao Chen grabbed this classmate who was a little out of control, and the other party pinched his forearm with his hand, and squeezed a few words with the strength of milk: "Why did you throw me here? I'm not wrong! Why punish me like this?"

With Xiao Chen's current strength, he could push him away with one hand, but he didn't move, just looked at him a little sadly, letting the other party pull him and scream, and let the rain slide down his face.

"My mother is seriously ill, I still have to go to the hospital......" He let go of Xiao Chen and cried with a whimper.

The people around him watched him silently, and gradually someone was infected by him, and the sound of the rain was joined by whimpering and crying.

"My parents haven't seen me in my hometown for two years, and if they can't find me, they'll die of sadness. ”

"Woo, I really want to eat the braised pork made by my grandmother. ”

"Woo, I just got a girlfriend yesterday, and I haven't held her hand yet. ”

There were many more who did not speak, but secretly wept. The people present were all big men, but they cried wantonly and indulged. Xiao Chen wanted to say something, but he found that he couldn't say it, and if he didn't even believe it, how could he persuade others?

"Let them cry, they need a chance to vent. Chen Hansheng said on the side. He thought that in the dark, Xiao Chen couldn't see his face clearly, but Xiao Chen, who had night vision, could clearly see his reddened eyes.

————————————————————————

A dozen kilometers east from the school and the town is a scenic plain, which is divided in half by a small river from west to east. On the north bank of the river there is a small castle, built on a small hillside, surrounded by water, with a nursery at the bottom of the hill and a large sparse forest behind it.

The small castle is small in size and has low walls, obviously not much military use, but it is a good resort. This is where Count Arias hunts every autumn. If in previous years there had been only a few gardeners and servants in the estate, but today the lights were all on the inside, and many people were coming and going in and out of the castle.

"Hasn't the Earl woken up yet?" asked Batisse and a few knights, who were eating pastrami and baked potatoes in the castle's hall, when they saw the sad-faced flatbread family coming down from the upper floor.

When he saw a doctor crawling down from the upstairs with his face covered and running through the door, he knew that the man must not have been able to save the master.

"There's not even a real doctor in this hellish place. Pinto said angrily, "That idiot just now said that he would bleed the old man again, and that he would grind the lizard's tail into powder for the old man to eat." ”

"Ah, don't doctors do it all?" asked a bearded knight, as he bit down on a chicken leg.

"Only stupid village women and idiots like you who don't know anything will believe those liars. As soon as the young lady heard him say this, she directly blasted him out. "It seems that only by waiting for the priests of the temple to come over can we treat the Earl." ”

"But are we just going to wait here?" asked Bartis, "I still don't know what we had this morning?"

"I saw a mountain fall with my own eyes. Pinto said with trepidation.

"I saw that there seemed to be a house on the hill. A knight added.

"Summoning a mountain and falling from the sky. Pinto pondered it and finally came to a conclusion, "Magic, I suppose only magic can have such an effect." ”

"I've seen Master Merlin use magic, but nothing like that......" one of the knights interjected, "Master Merlin is already one of the most powerful magicians in the kingdom. ”

"Have you ever seen Master Morin go all out?" said Batis, disdainfully, "those magicians are secretive, and who knows how capable they are." ”

"Maybe it's a very powerful demon, maybe it's a very powerful mage. Either way, they are dangerous. Pinto dragged his pointed chin in his hand and tilted his head in thought, "If it weren't for the untouchables' tax resistance, the Earl and us ran out of the house, and the mountain was pressed down, what do you think would have happened?"

Several knights had ugly faces, because they knew that it was impossible to avoid such a sudden large-scale magic. If it weren't for the tax resistance, I'm afraid they would all be turned into meatloaf.

"Are we going to be an enemy of such a formidable adversary?" said a small knight, a little timidly.

"There are many kinds of enemies, and some enemies can be killed, such as the Imperials. Some enemies can be taught a lesson, such as the untouchables. Others may be friends if they have the right conditions. We have to find out who is behind that mountain. Otherwise, when the Earl wakes up, he will not be able to explain. Pinto decided, "Batis, send two scouts back to see, don't provoke them, don't attract attention, and quietly find out who they really are." ”

Batis nodded. But at this moment, an attendant rushed in, and said a few words in Pinto's ear with a nervous face.

"What!" Pinto was furious, slapped the squire hard, and then stumbled to the window to look out, and then yelled, "Bastard, waste, chase me!

Outside the window, in the night, several galloping horses had already rushed out of the castle for miles, running straight in the direction of the school.
