Chapter 143: To Leave or Not to Leave

Worm has very little impression of her mother, for she died of illness shortly after she was born, and then her father died a few years later, and the lonely Worm escaped from the Wings of Liberty to the New Empire with Uncle Galahad, where Worm spent most of his childhood.

Childhood didn't seem to be particularly memorable for Worm, and what she learned the most from Galahad was how to distinguish between Wings of Liberty and people in the New Empire, and the reason she learned this skill was simple: both Wings of Liberty and the people of the New Empire wanted to catch Worm.

As for why they had to catch the bugs, there are not many people in this world who really know the details, but they are all ruthless characters who have mastered powerful forces, such as the top leadership of the new empire, such as the new leader of the Wings of Freedom.

After many twists and turns, the little worm didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact, every night, she would be enveloped by a cold sense of loneliness, after all, she had no relatives in this world, - her mother died, and her father died.

Fortunately, Uncle Galahad took care of her unascent, and gradually, the worm regarded Galahad as his own relative, and his only one.

The new empire and the wings of freedom never gave up the pursuit of her, the worm followed Galahad everywhere to hide in Tibet, and in the blink of an eye, years passed, and the adult worm no longer had a deep impression of the word "parent", but there was a secret she never dared to forget, and she kept it in her heart all the time.

That's why they're going to catch bugs.

……

Galahad didn't play a role like a father, his care for the worm was limited to food and clothing, and not letting others hurt her, as for the inner world of the adolescent worm, he didn't even have a concept of understanding, so he often made the worm angry.

For example, Worm likes to dress up as a punk all day long, Galahad said that she is too conspicuous to escape the eyes of those with bad intentions, in this regard, Worm said that she wants to pursue individuality, and the truth of the fact is actually Worm's last memory of her mother, that is, she also likes to dress up like this.

Galahad seen Worm's mother, or it was not accurate to say "had", he knew Worm's mother well, so even if he was sluggish, he could more or less guess Worm's mind, and then he didn't say more.

It's a pity that the adolescent worm lives like a hedgehog, and he has to fight with Galahad at every turn, and after a fierce argument, the worm and Galahad finally say that they can't stand each other anymore, so they part ways.

Worm who left Galahad was soon cornered by the wolf's den of the new empire, and during that time, Worm thought about a lot of things in her mind, and she found that it was not until she left Galahad that she finally realized the importance of "relatives".

Thankfully, Worm met the turtledove again, and she found a long-lost sense of security in it, although the turtledove was not as invincible as Uncle Galahad, but the turtledove was very good to her, at least anything delicious would be eaten by her first.

In Xiao Mo's opinion, whether it is Uncle Galahad or Turtledove, they are both people he can trust, and to a certain extent, they make up for his desire for family affection.

……

However, today, the worm actually learned from Schultz's mouth that the woman named Natalia lying on the bed would be his little aunt, what does this mean, it means that there is a person in the world who is related to the worm, and the worm is not alone.

This is a real loved one.

Worm never knew that her mother had a younger sister, and she looked at Natalia with her eyes closed in a daze, and wanted to go over and gently touch the other person's cheek, but she didn't dare to do so, as if she was afraid that if she touched Natalia, Natalia would fly away.

"She, she's really my little aunt?"

Even though she knew that Schultz didn't need to deceive herself about this, the little worm still didn't dare to believe Schultz's words, after all, this matter was too sudden for her.

"You can ask her yourself when she wakes up," Schultz said with a smile, "otherwise why do you think she's such a nosy character, and why would she go so desperately to stop Geraint and Enid for you, if it weren't for her, those two guys would have found you." ”

Speaking of Geraint and Enid, Schultz secretly clenched his fists, saying in his heart that they were really ruthless.

……

Schultz's original plan was to deal with the last fugitive first, that is, the eighteenth test subject in the underground boxing arena, but he didn't expect that the second form of the eighteenth test subject was actually a tide caller, which greatly surprised Schultz's expectations, in order to rescue the turtledove and the bug trapped in the underground boxing ring, he did not rush to support Natalia at the appointed time.

Later, when Schultz rushed over, Natalia had been seriously injured under the combined attack of Geraint and Enid, but fortunately, Natalia's own strength was excellent, and Geralt didn't really want to kill Natalia, so Schultz finally saved her.

In addition, Geraint and Enid also heard the roar of the tide caller, and they naturally knew that the abandoned city was no longer a place to stay for a long time, and if they continued to stay here, they could be swallowed up by the "tide of terror" at any time, and it would be difficult to leave here again.

The scariest thing about the Tide Caller is that it can summon the "Tide of Terror", when the monsters hidden around the abandoned city will flock to it, think about how terrifying monsters such as the Wanderer, the Voice Follower are, not to mention the existence of even more terrifying.

Geraint and Enid did come for the bugs, but they didn't want to put their lives on the line in the abandoned city, and they still wouldn't take this risk for no reason while they still had a chance to leave.

Thinking so in his heart, Schultz decided to tell the two young men about the current situation first, and it was entirely up to them to decide whether they would go or stay when the time came.

……

"Do you know the 'Tide of Terror'?"

Schultz chose to get straight to the point, or that there was not much time left for him at the moment, and it was more efficient to speak directly.

The turtledove glanced at the worm, he had only heard the worm talk about it for a short time.

"Then I'll tell you, the 'Tide of Terror' is coming," Schultz said to them with a grim expression, "and if you don't want to die here, you'd better get out of the abandoned city now." ”

Schultz was definitely not joking, but the worm shook his head categorically:

"We're not leaving, at least not now."
