Section 4 Hatred
Even the wild wolves in the wasteland have times when they are afraid.
An inexplicable sense of crisis arose, and the iron slag's eyes narrowed, urging more larvae to bite the intestines/walls.
"Ah...... Ah......h At this moment, a strong killing intent uncontrollably arose in the depths of his heart. He believed that as long as she was alive and with a hint of hostility, it would bring endless trouble. For such an enemy, he really did not want to stay.
Thinking of this, his face became cloudy. As if sensing his thoughts, Bi Qinglan raised her head, squeezed out a smile at him, and said in a trembling voice: "Come on...... Kill me...... Yes...... Come...... It's like killing my sister......"
"I repeat, your sister's death has nothing to do with me." Iron Slag said word by word with a cold face.
"Doesn't it matter? Isn't it okay! Isn't it okay! Blue screamed hysterically.
Seeing this, Iron Slag hurriedly took a step back, then took a deep breath, and with a thought, the soldier ant larvae stopped biting.
"Friend, I feel very sorry for what happened to your sister, and the murderer has been killed by me." Iron Slag paused and said sincerely, "I can only assure you that he died in despair and pain. ”
Bi Qinglan gradually calmed down, she looked at the iron slag, and said weakly, "I will definitely kill you." ”
"You ......" Iron Slag was so depressed that she couldn't speak, this woman was simply unreasonable, and she talked in vain for a long time.
"Do you really think that my sister's death has nothing to do with you?" Bi Qinglan said faintly.
"Does it matter?" Iron Slag shrugged his shoulders and asked rhetorically.
"Yes......" Bi Qinglan looked at him, leaned over slowly, and then put her hands on his shoulders and said, "Hold me, let's talk as we walk." ”
Iron Slag nodded, gently wrapped his arms around her snake-like waist, and walked in the direction of the Night Lighthouse. At this time, it was already completely dark, and he turned on his flashlight and walked through the dense forest by a beam of white light. Judging from the map of the communicator, it is still 12 km from the base, and it takes two and a half hours to walk.
On the way back, Bi Qinglan snuggled up to him, whispered, and told him the entanglement in his heart.
Every thirty years, the Ancient Temple contributes a large sum of money to support the Temple of Splendour. For the past two hundred years, the three major branches of the ancient temple, the spirit snake, the horned rhino, and the war bear, have taken turns to contribute to support the operation of the glorious temple.
This year, it is the turn of the Spirit Snake Temple to contribute, and the Spirit Snake has seven major branches, namely the Green Snake Temple, the Yellow Snake Temple, the Red Snake Temple, the White Snake Temple, the Black Snake Temple, the Purple Snake Temple, and the Blue Snake Temple. Originally, this money was supposed to be jointly funded by the seven major branches, but now, many people are reluctant to pay. On the one hand, the Far East has been a barren land since ancient times, with little surplus; On the other hand, more and more Far Easterners believe that the Ancient Temples should no longer support the Splendid Temples for free, because they see nothing in return.
For this support, the Grand Master of the Green Snake Temple and the chief of the Green Snake Clan, Biyun Mountain, were able to persuade the rest of the six veins to jointly contribute. Originally, I thought that this was the case, but when it came time to actually contribute, the other six veins came up with all kinds of excuses to reduce the proportion of capital contribution.
In the end, as the leader of the Green Snake Clan, the richest in the Spirit Snake lineage, and one of the most devout supporters of the Brilliant Temple, Chief Biyun Mountain gritted his teeth and paid for the support himself.
As a result, the adult gift "Snow Leopard" that my sister Bi Qingluan had been looking forward to for many years was stranded by her father.
"How much does it cost to eat and drink?" Hearing this, Iron Slag couldn't help but interject and ask. After all, he lived at the end of the world and knew what was going on there. He and Kozan, plus the messengers who are away all the year round, are only three people when they are full, how many supplies can they consume?
"Transporting from the Far East to the end of the world, even if it is a piece of paper, will not be cheap." Bi Qinglan said.
"That's not much." Iron Slag said with reason. Although the transportation fee is not low, for the Seven Great Clans of the Spirit Snake, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket.
"Have you tried mechanical power armor?" Bi Qinglan asked suddenly.
"This ......" Iron Slag subconsciously scratched his hair and did not answer. It was only then that he truly realized the significance of the grant.
"Have you seen mechanical power armor anywhere else in this world? This is a contraband item for the Temple, and it is a huge amount of money from production to assembly to transportation. Bi Qinglan sighed and said, "Every thirty years, the Ancient Temple will send three hundred mechanical power armors over, and most of these power armors will naturally damage over the course of a long time. ”
"For the sake of your illusory beliefs, why should we pay off these non-existent debts from birth?"
"I heard from Senior Brother that you and Li Tuohai had a fierce quarrel that night. In order to defend you, Senior Brother scolded Li Tuohai, and then you left in a bad mood. ”
"After that, in order not to cause misunderstanding among the Flame Guardians, the senior brother stayed behind to explain, and Tuoba San was a fool, so that beast had a chance."
"Maybe my sister was in a little mood and couldn't take care of your brilliant face, but she is a girl after all and is your guest."
"Her father worked hard for you, contributed money and effort, and wanted to squeeze himself dry."
"You're so proud, you can't be wronged a little, if you had a little more energy, maybe all this wouldn't have happened......," Bi Qinglan said in a choked voice.
After being silent for a while, she looked at him and asked softly, "Is Qinglan right?" ”
"Uh......" Looking at the big teary eyes, Iron Slag only felt that his voice was a little dry, and he couldn't speak.
"I'm going to kill you." She muttered in distraction, as if she had lost all her strength.
"Is there any room for negotiation?" Iron Slag asked seriously.
"......No," she said, shaking her head, "unless you kill me......"
Iron Slag sighed and didn't speak again. For the rest of the day, both remained silent, walking quietly through the jungle.
At ten o'clock in the evening, they finally returned to the vicinity of the Dark Night Lighthouse. Looking at the lights in the distance, Bi Qinglan said leisurely: "It's too late for you to change your mind now......"
"Huh?" Iron Slag frowned.
"After tonight, you won't have that chance." She snuggled up to him, but said the heart-wrenching words, "If you don't kill me, you will definitely regret it in the future." ”
"I saved you just now." Iron Slag reminded.
"So what?" Bi Qinglan asked indifferently, as if she was asking something that was taken for granted.
"Secretary-General, please be merciful when reviewing, so that we can settle the matter." Iron Slag suggested.
"Okay." Bi Qinglan nodded obediently.
After returning to the Nightlight Tower, Iron Slag first sent her back to the Bamboo Leaf to rest, and then returned to the camp. As soon as he walked into the tent, Tie Slag saw Qin Ke'er and Mu Qianhe sitting on the sofa in the rest area.
Seeing him come back, the two girls smiled, greeted him left and right, and greeted one by one: "Captain ~ Good evening ~" "Captain ~ hard work ~" The enthusiasm of the two girls for no reason made him feel uncomfortable, so he asked them why they didn't go back to the girls' camp to rest so late.
"The head of the regiment didn't come back~ We can't sleep~" Mu Qianhe pushed down the iron slag and said with a smile.
"We are worried about the safety of the head of the regiment~ If we are taken away by a wolf in the woods~ Such a good head of the regiment~ Where can we find it~" Qin Ke'er said sourly.
"Hmm." Iron Slag nodded thoughtfully, as if agreeing with their concern.
"I'm really surprised~ Assistant Qin for a while, Secretary General for a while, who is next?" "Maybe the student union has been captured by him~" "Tut-tut~ The head of the regiment is a real person who doesn't show his face~" "It's really a blessing and a great honor to be able to follow such a leader." "Two women, you say a word to me, ask and answer yourself, self-produced and sold, half sour and half sarcastic, saying that the iron slag is green and the tendons are rising, and the embarrassment is abnormal. But apart from continuing to play stupid, he couldn't think of any other way to deal with it.
"No wonder the taste is so tricky, eating delicacies from the mountains and seas all day long, and we naturally can't look down on these wild vegetables or something." Mu Qianhe said meaningfully. The sourness in that tone is probably not much worse than that of an adult stinging worm.
"Don't you say~ What temple princess~ Goddess of Happiness~ are still in line~ How can it be your turn~" Qin Ke'er echoed.
"Yes~People are busy~, even if the daylily is cold, people may not have time to look at you~" "Look at what Ke'er does~What's so beautiful about Ke'er~ Look at you~ Big breasts and round buttocks, how good-looking~" "Don't talk when your breasts are small~" "Hmph~"
As she spoke, the two women actually began to pinch each other, and the iron slag was secretly refreshing, at least the focus of the contradiction was not on him. But the good times didn't last long, Mu Qianhe suddenly changed his words, and suddenly the disaster flowed eastward, and the acid in his mouth sprayed towards the iron slag......
Just when the two women were fighting the leader of the wolf clan legion, in the command cabin of the Bamboo Leaf, Bi Qinglan had just connected to a video communication. In the blink of an eye, in the wide glass curtain wall, a delicate and unparalleled face gradually emerged.
"Good evening, honorable student council president, princess of the Temple." Turquoise Blue chin greeted.
"Hello, honorable secretary general of the student union, the holy daughter of the spirit snake." The girl on the screen bowed her head slightly and continued, "Late at night, You Ge apologizes for the disturbance. ”
"Please don't say that, Qinglan is willing to share the princess's worries and solve problems." Bi Qinglan said politely.
"Then I'll bother Sister Qinglan." You Ge bowed his head again, and then said, "Fifteen minutes ago, the 27th Squad of the Airborne Division of the Dawn Expeditionary Force came to report that they had lost two Dawn Knights, one of them a second lieutenant and a sergeant, in the reinforcement operation in the dark jungle last week, and asked the Secretary General to cooperate with the investigation of the Airborne Division of the Expeditionary Force, You Ge would like to express his deepest gratitude. ”
"Yes, my princess." The blue jaw replied.
"Later, the person in charge of this disappearance, Major Mayfield of the Dawn Expeditionary Force, will contact you directly." You Ge added.
After the communication ended, Bi Qinglan looked at the dark glass curtain wall, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and a poisonous trick quietly rose.
"Sakura, Momo." "Yes." "Yes." "Find a way to acquire two damaged Holy Light Power Armors." "Yes." "Yes." With two crisp voices, the two delicate figures disappeared into the darkness of the command cabin......
