Chapter 18: Compromise
The arrogant figure, Mo Tian, who was wearing a windbreaker, stood in front of Ye Bai, and his seemingly weak palm supported the sky with one hand, easily blocking the attack of the giant claw.
"Mo Tian, you ......"
Ye Bai looked at Mo Tian's back in a daze, his eyes full of complexity.
"Hey, I said before that as long as I don't die, you will never die, but you kid just don't believe me."
Mo Tian didn't look back, and the helpless voice passed through the back to Ye Bai's ears, which sounded a bit joking.
"You...... Didn't you say that you weren't in control? ”
Ye Bai was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and said with some dumbfoundedness.
"Who told you that only those in control can clean up these beasts?" Mo Tian smiled slightly, holding the giant claw of the desolate beast in his left hand, and raised his right hand with a light smile.
Then, swing out.
Red!
The roar of the air tore through the heavens and the earth.
The next moment, the huge black shadow in front of him was torn out of a fist-like hole from the giant claw, from the feet to the body, and the place where the fist wind passed, all turned into powder, and even the huge hideous head disappeared together.
The wilderness, which was six or seven meters high, slowly fell, and then turned into powder and dissipated into the air.
Everyone in the base looked at Mo Tian who slowly retracted his punching movements in a daze, and their eyes were full of shock.
He ...... Is it really Mo Tian? ”
Such a question couldn't help but pop up in everyone's hearts, and immediately, a bitter smile appeared on their faces.
Even Guo Rong, who fell to the ground with blood flowing from her stomach, stared at this majestic figure and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Mo Tian?"
Who would have thought that this person, who was regarded as a refuge by them at first, would be a super strong person who was much more terrifying than Li Lao and the others.
Thinking of what they have done these days, their hearts can't help but flutter. They didn't expect that the young man who was almost turned away from the base at the beginning would be the great benefactor who saved the entire base.
"Leaf White ......"
Thinking of this, they looked at Ye Bai with some happiness in their eyes. If it weren't for Ye Bai's insistence at the beginning, they would probably have died under the claws of the wilderness now.
"Don't be stunned, pack up your things, this place looks like you can't stay any longer."
After slamming the wilderness with a fist, Mo Tian turned around and said to him with a smile.
Ye Bai was slightly stunned, a touch of surprise appeared on his face, and he blurted out. "Huh? Don't you save the people here? ”
"I don't remember saying such a thing, what I promised you was your life alone."
Mo Tian lightly buttoned the mouth of the windbreaker that had just been loosened because of his hands, raised his head with a smile, and said to Ye Bai.
"As for the survival of the base, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't have the energy to save this place, and it is already the limit to stay one more day for you."
"Then the people here ......"
Ye Bai muttered to himself.
"If nothing else, it should be destroyed......
Mo Tian smiled lightly, as if it had nothing to do with him at all, and smiled so calmly.
However, when Mo Tian's words came out, the people in the base who were originally overjoyed in the rear instantly turned white, and all kinds of dissatisfied voices suddenly sounded.
The crowd that spoke included his college classmates.
"Mo Tian, how can you be like this, you are also a human race, how can you see death and not save it!"
"Yes, don't say anything else, you have lived here for the past two days, no matter how you say it, you owe us a personal favor? Anyway, you have to help us stay there for ten days and half a month. ”
"As a human race, you should help each other, not to mention that you still have the ability to ......"
"We're college classmates, it's a bit too much for you to cross the river and tear down the bridge, right?"
Mo Tian smiled lightly, waved his palm lightly, and threw it outward.
Suddenly, a wave of air surged, knocking the gossiping crowd to the ground.
"Moral kidnapping doesn't work for me. Who has decreed that fellow human beings should surely save you? ”
"My help is an act of kindness, not an obligation. What reason do I have to save you who are indifferent? ”
"When it comes to favors these days, I only seem to owe Ye Bai one person, where did you 'classmates' go at that time?"
Looking down at the people below, their eyes were full of fear, Mo Tian said lightly.
"I've always had clear grievances, but I'm not so generous, I can't repay my grievances with virtue, and you have to bear what you deserve."
The words were like hammers, smashing into everyone's hearts, and their faces were pale.
Looking at Ye Bai, who was rescued by Mo Tian with one hand, they felt endless remorse for the first time. They regretted it, why they didn't help their original classmates like Ye Bai at the beginning, but chose to stand by and watch.
For the first time, they felt the truth contained in this sentence. What is wrong with their inaction at the beginning, in exchange for Mo Tian's inaction today?
When everyone pondered and regretted, Ye Bai, who had been silent for a long time, finally raised his head.
A bitter smile appeared on his resolute face, staring at Mo Tian's face, and said, "Sure enough, you have your style of doing things." ”
"It's just that now that I've been saved by you, where can I go?"
"I've been in contact with the people in the War Fortress yesterday, and someone should be coming to pick you up tonight, so you don't have to worry about that."
Mo Tian smiled and replied.
Originally, he planned to find another opportunity to come here to pick up Ye Bai after the danger of Cloud City was completely resolved, but after noticing the collapse of the space yesterday, Mo Tian changed his mind.
The area where space folding occurs is commonly known as the unstable space region in scientific evidence, and even if a crisis is solved, the probability of secondary space folding is very likely to occur.
Therefore, it was not so safe to continue to let Ye Bai be here, so yesterday he used ground wave communication to get in touch with Fu Lao and send someone over to rescue.
Even if it is thousands of kilometers away, if you go at full speed, the rescue team should arrive at dusk today.
Ye Bai was speechless, so he had to smile bitterly. Obviously, Mo Tian had already prepared and blocked all his words.
After a moment of silence, Ye Bai raised his head, sighed, and said.
"Before the end of today, I am the person in charge of this base, and I hope to do my best to help this place one last time."
"Will you stand here for me until dusk?"
Mo Tian smiled slightly, and did not agree or object.
Turning away, he smiled faintly.
"This is the only time, not the next one."
Mo Tian is very clear about Ye Bai's character, and Mo Tian's character, Ye Bai is also very clear. So they all know that this is the biggest compromise they can make between them.
Ye Bai showed a relieved smile and muttered.
"Thank you."
Glancing back at this familiar base, Ye Bai's eyes were full of reluctance and resolute contradictions.
