Chapter 0079: Temporary Alliance
After a short deep laugh, Xia Chenghao stopped with doubts and asked seriously, "What?" You mean ......, help? ”
Mason nodded, with a begging look in his eyes, but it was only for a moment, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, avoiding Xia Chenghao's gaze and replied, "Yes!" ”
For Xia Chenghao, this is incredible, there shouldn't be such a thing in Red Moon's territory, he has already made a mistake yesterday, and he will not repeat it a second time with the same person today.
"I've made an exception once, so please don't get an inch. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, and make me lose my guard, right? Pretend to be pathetic, huh? Tell you, it doesn't work. ”
"No......" Mason seemed to be trying to explain something.
But Xia Chenghao had already made up his mind, and scolded in a low voice: "Get out of here, get out of here-"
He meant to let Mason leave with a sense of humor, and that would be treated as if he didn't see it. Xia Chenghao won't kill him, but he won't help him, and it's the most unwise choice to get into trouble.
With a fierce glint in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and forced Mason, hoping that the other party would leave here quickly and not look back.
Merlin suddenly laughed miserably, glanced back in the direction he had come, then turned his face and lowered his head and sighed, "Actually, there is no way out." I didn't expect this day to come so quickly, so fast......"
"That's your business." After Xia Chenghao finished speaking, he turned around angrily, he could feel that Merlin was indeed not here to kill, the other party did not have a weapon on his body, and he could even say that he did not have any equipment, and even his clothes were torn.
Since he is not a threat, and it is inconvenient to kill them all, it is better to let him fend for himself. More things are better than less, I have been saved yesterday, and I have a clear conscience in both emotion and reason.
Xia Chenghao didn't look back.
"Uncle Gui is chasing me, he is my survival mentor!"
Behind him, Mason's calm, obviously breathless voice came, obviously he used his last strength to maintain this tone that sounded quite backbone, in his opinion, this may be the last time to talk to Xia Chenghao, and he didn't want people to look down on him.
People who are dying need dignity as well, although Xia Chenghao is unwilling to help today, Mason still wants to tell him one thing, that is, the survival mentor is not as out of the way he imagined, and he is also involved in the life and death of the children, not just a guide as everyone thinks.
Hearing Mason Carr's words, Xia Chenghao stopped the next step he was about to take, and stood there motionless, many terrible thoughts flashed through his mind. Although I don't know who Uncle Shi Gui is, I can think that it is Mason's survival mentor.
I have to say that Merlin's words from behind him shocked him greatly, and he couldn't understand why this happened for a while.
And he stood there, not turning, not leaving, not speaking.
Mason saw Xia Chenghao stop, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He moved a few steps forward with difficulty, maintaining a relationship with Xia Chenghao, "I think, he's not far behind, maybe he will catch me soon!" ”
Xing Zhengbin's words rang in Xia Chenghao's ears - don't trust anyone; On the other side, Mason's plea continued repeatedly.
As time drags on, the danger gets closer.
"Help me! Please......"
Xia Chenghao turned around slowly, shook his head helplessly, and strode over to Mason's side.
"This is the last time!"
"Thank you!"
Now that he agreed, he had to take Mason away from the edge of the woods, as the trees were dangerous, so it would be unwise to disappear as soon as possible. He picked up Mason and walked quickly in his intended direction, needing to find a safe spot as soon as possible.
This time, it's not a teenager who is dealing with it, but a survival mentor who has been experienced in killing countless people.
Xia Chenghao felt that he was a little unlucky, and even doubted what he was doing, to know how dangerous it was to go down this step, maybe he would easily put his life into it, but the arrow that had already opened the bow could not be turned back.
The two of them kept moving in the waist-deep grass towards the direction that Xia Chenghao had scheduled before, and it was noon in a blink of an eye. The pace of progress is too slow, and there is basically horizontal movement at the junction of river valleys and mountains and forests.
But I finally got away from that dangerous exit, and I felt safer and safer.
Xia Chenghao felt that it was inconvenient to help a person with a lot of equipment like this, so he thought about sending some equipment to the front first, and then coming back to pick up Mason, which might save time and speed up.
"I'll send the sniper rifle and backpack over there first, and then I'll pick you up!" He told Mason what he thought.
Mason now trusts Xia Chenghao and nods in agreement without doubt. He let go of his hand from Xia Chenghao's shoulder, but he didn't take it back immediately.
Xia Chenghao instantly understood what he meant, Mason needed a self-defense weapon, and if that noble uncle appeared after the ally left, he wouldn't even have a chance to fight last.
"Next time, don't think this gun will leave me except to die."
Xia Chenghao carefully handed his proton gun to Merlin.
Mason understands very well how important self-defense weapons are to him as a future Red Moon Cleanser, and this gun has never left the left and right since Xia Chenghao walked out of the Super Academy.
"There won't be a next time!"
The implication is that Xia Chenghao will not die, and the weapon will not leave him again. I don't know if this is a compliment or a blessing, but it sounds no malicious or otherwise.
Xia Chenghao turned around and walked forward quickly, while Mason moved slowly, taking one step at a time.
There was a raised hill in the distance, like a large rock or a mound of dirt, where Xia Chenghao planned to drop his backpack and sniper rifle and come back to pick up Mason.
The solo round trip is of course much faster, and it takes less than twenty minutes to return.
"Don't come here!"
Mason stood in place, his face frightened, and lowered his voice to warn Xia Chenghao.
What's going on? Could it be that this guy turned his face in twenty minutes? Or did you want to bite back because you saw Xia Chenghao give up all your equipment and lose your weapons?
Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, Xia Chenghao really didn't expect this trick, it seems that Xing Zhengbin's last advice is completely reasonable, don't trust anyone.
Xia Chenghao hurriedly stopped, stopped five meters away from Merlin, and looked straight at his face, as if he wanted to eat people, probably wanting to ask which you are singing.
No...... no, no, this is not the rhythm of the development of things, Mason was holding Xia Chenghao's proton gun, but he didn't point the gun at Xia Chenghao, but at a loss, he casually pointed the muzzle of the gun towards the grass below.
This is not what a trained pre-cleaner does, and looking at his expression, there seems to be something unspeakable.
"I ......, I should have stepped on a snake!"
When Xia Chenghao heard this, he chuckled coldly twice, and said indifferently: "It's just rotten wood, and I stepped on one in the morning, and I was scared at that time." Isn't it a little squishy? ”
Mason nodded cautiously, meaning to answer, soft.
