Chapter 60: How to choose
Calvin isn't dead, he's alive.
Everyone who was happily preparing to embrace a new life a moment ago turned into frosted eggplants at this moment, wilting and poking in place, all staring at me with big eyes, I look at you, and no one opened their mouths to speak.
The square outside the munitions depot was not small, and there were many people standing here, but it was eerily quiet at this time, except for the sound of "humming" electricity echoing in the air, there was no other movement.
"Smack."
A young man threw the firearm that had just been issued to him to the man in front of him, and the latter hurriedly withdrew his hands as if he had received a hot potato, looking left and right, as if he was worried about someone seeing this scene.
More and more guns were thrown on the ground, and some of the timid ones had even spread their legs and fled into the darkness, not knowing what he was running away, but since someone had risen, those who had been prepared to wait and see did not wait and see, and joined the ranks of the escape.
Strangely, there was no direct threat to them, but these people just ran like frightened rabbits, not forgetting to throw everything related to the munitions depot on the ground as they ran.
In just a few minutes, the people near the munitions warehouse were all gone, leaving only the guards who were supposed to be guarding the place, standing in place in a daze, not knowing what to do.
It's over, it's all over.
……
In the previous small house, the turtledove and the insect sat at the table, and Schultz paced the room nervously, his expression so serious that the turtledove did not dare to speak loudly to the worm, but only exchanged glances with her.
What Turtledove didn't expect was that Calvin's influence on the residents of Candy City was too great, he didn't even have to show up, just used a broadcast to prove that he was still alive, and instantly dismantled Schultz's actions that he had planned for so long, it seems that he is tantamount to a nightmare for the residents of Candy City.
So what's next.
Calvin said on the radio that he would return to Candy City at dawn to have a "face-to-face exchange" with the residents, and that he would inevitably take his small army stationed outside the city with him, as for Calvin's purpose, it must be self-evident.
According to Schultz's original plan, the armed residents of Candy City had the opportunity to use the terrain to fight against the small army, but their fighting spirit had been completely lost, and they did not even dare to pick up weapons again, let alone fight against Calvin's small army.
The inhabitants of Candy City have become ostriches in the desert, burying their heads in the sand when the storm comes, deceiving themselves in a way of covering their ears and stealing bells, but how can Calvin let them go when he returns with his army.
Regardless of what Calvin said on the radio, Ikaruga knew that when he returned, he would kill everyone involved in tonight's assault on the arsenal, and sadly the residents were expecting Calvin to spare him.
It's so stupid.
Many emotions can affect a person's intellect, such as desire, such as fear, in the case of extreme fear, any possible life-saving straw will be held tightly, even if you know that it is just a straw and not driftwood, it is impossible to carry your body in the ocean.
……
In fact, there wasn't much time left for Turtledove to criticize the inhabitants of Candy City, Calvin said that he would return to Candy City at dawn, knowing that he and Worm had contributed a lot to several things in the last few days.
Especially Ikardove, he didn't even understand why Calvin called Schultz's name on the radio instead of himself, you must know that Schultz was sitting in the rear for the past two days, and it was Turtledove who really caused damage, and he did the most.
Therefore, turtle doves and bugs should leave the place before dawn.
The two of them had been passing by Candy City, and they wanted to get some supplies here and left, if they hadn't met Adu and Schultz, the two of them would have set foot on the road to the oasis again.
Speaking of Adu, this is also the reason why Schultz is so anxious,—— he returns here at the same time as he hears Calvin mention the word "Adu", but he can no longer find Adu and Anna, and someone in the room has left him a note with a few words written crookedly:
"They're in my hands."
This "I", Ikaruga is probably Calvin.
For Adu and Anna, the two ill-fated siblings, Ikaruga has mixed emotions, first of all, he is indeed very sympathetic to the plight of the two of them, and hopes that he can help them, and he has indeed worked hard for it, but God does not fulfill people's wishes, and they are about to get out of the sea of suffering, as a result, the two siblings were captured by Calvin and faced the fate of death.
If it was a turtledove in the past, then he would definitely say "bye-bye" without hesitation, and then leave Candy City without looking back, because he had seen too many such situations, and one of his survival lessons was to ignore this situation,—— only by not getting involved with trouble, could he live for a long time.
Since meeting the little worm, perhaps under her subtle influence, the turtledove's mood has been changing little by little, and he even has the ideal and desire to "change the world", which was unimaginable before.
……
The turtledove, who was sitting at the table, lowered his head, and had not spoken since he came back, but made eye contact with the worm, and the two reached a consensus, so he simply lay down on the table, and after a while he began to snore.
"Let's go."
Schultz, who had been pacing for a long time, heard the snoring of the turtledove, his brow furrowed terribly, and his arms folded in front of his chest, and Schultz said this to the turtledove and the worm.
"He's tired for the past two days, let him sleep for a while," the little worm took out a blanket from the inside room and put it over the turtledove, as if he hadn't heard Schultz speak, "I'm also a little tired, so I'll go to rest first." ”
Schultz stopped the worm that was walking towards the back room again, and said, "Wait, do you know that Calvin will be back after dawn, you shouldn't have waded into this troubled water, get out of here quickly." ”
"If you wake him up and I'll leave," the worm pointed to the snoring turtledove, "He's a stubborn temper, and I'm a stubborn temper, but I think he's a little more stubborn than I am, and if you can convince him to leave, then I won't say anything more." ”
Looking at the sleeping turtledove, Schultz groaned for a long time, and after about ten seconds, he turned around and stared at the worm, as if he wanted to look into the deepest part of the worm's soul, and said:
"Are you really going to do this?"
"Nonsense," Worm replied to Schultz's question with his head held high, "and he and I want to work harder." ”
