The rain became heavier and heavier, and the raindrops were the size of soybeans, mixed with hail the size of eggs, and smashed on the ground to stir up clouds of cement mixed dust. Although the tent from the Dark Dragoon is sturdy and unbreakable by raindrops and hail, the wind is also very strong, and the foundation of the tent may not be very stable. All the tents were swaying in the storm, and the ropes that held the tents were so tight that they even creaked slightly, as if they might be blown away by the wind at any moment. The water on the ground has already been rushing, but fortunately, the terrain chosen for the camp is a relatively commanding height, so there is no need to worry about being flooded by rain for the time being.

Su stood quietly in the rain, letting the cold and biting rain run down against his skin, and when the hail fell, the muscles on his body bounced out as soon as they were slightly retracted.

It was still dark.

After being drenched in the rain for a long time, Sue has begun to gradually believe Helen's words, and Diaste must have lied, but until now Sue has not figured out where he lied, but it doesn't matter anymore. Judging from the diary, Anjie, who should be called Pandora now, may be much more difficult to deal with than expected. The girl, who was already so smart when she was ten years old, now doesn't know what she has become. What's even more terrifying is that from the diary, it can be seen that she seems to have a kind of indifference to the world.

Su used to have this feeling, as if the qiē seen in the eyes and the qiē heard by the ears were not real. The human body shaking in front of him is no different from the immovable cement steel bar. Killing a person is as simple as breaking a piece of wood, it doesn't need to be thought, it doesn't feel anything, even the blood that spews out has no temperature. And this qiē transformation began the moment he met Medilli and decided to raise her.

Let's destroy the blue scorpion completely, Su finally made up his mind. Sue still decided to believe Helen, to believe Persephone, there was no reason why he could trust the enemy and not trust the people on his own side, especially one of the women who had already done so much for him.

As for Diaste, it was a stepping stone in the process of growing up. The next time they meet, Sue will tell him what the price of deception will be.

A particularly violent gust of wind swept in, blowing Su's pale blonde hair, which was completely drenched, straight out. But Su himself was not shaken in the slightest, his gaze followed the swirling wind, and finally landed on a tent. At this time, his brain was running at full capacity, processing thousands of numbers at the same time, trying to decipher the direction of the wind and the possible effects. It was the first time Su had tried to perform such a complicated calculation, and in less than a second, his eyes suddenly went black, and his headache was as if he had been pierced by dozens of sharp needles.

Su shook a few times before he stood firm. He shook his head, knowing that the computing power of this kind of Cheng Dù was beyond the limits of what he could currently bear. Although driven by all its might, the brain has processed the number jù at least half as fast as before. And among the people that Su has come into contact with directly or indirectly, whether it is Pandora or Helen, the ability to deal with the number of jù seems to be far above him.

At this moment, a camp tent was uprooted by the strong wind, and the originally heavy pile foundation seemed to have no weight at all, and flew lightly into the night sky, and then disappeared. There were six warriors in the tent, who were now completely drenched in heavy rain and rolled down in muddy water by the strong wind.

Su immediately rushed over, first grabbed the two warriors who were no longer able to get up and stand firm on their own, carried them to the side of his tent, stuffed them in, and then rushed to the other four.

Two tent curtains were being drawn, and it seemed that someone was coming out.

"Don't even come out!" Su roared, and his penetrating voice was clear and bright, spreading far away in the wind and rain.

One tent closed obediently, but the other opened faster, and Leigh rushed out of it. In an instant, she was drenched in a torrential rain full of radiant power!

"You go back to me!" Su Xiangli, who was carrying the two warriors, roared, and ran as fast as he could in the wind and rain with difficulty, stuffing the two warriors into his camp.

Leigh was silent, rushed to the last two warriors, picked one of them up, and dragged her towards Sue's tent. With her fourth-order strength and agility, she dragged an adult man, and she could barely move in such a ferocious wind and rain. Su Yi gritted his teeth, directly dragged the last warrior, and when he stuffed it into his camp, Li also stuffed the warrior he dragged into it.

Sue's tent was a single tent, not too large, and six sturdy warriors could only barely fit into it by squeezing each other. Su Yi took off the combat uniform on his body, put it directly on Li's head without saying anything, wrapped her and picked her up, and then rushed towards her camp tent and stuffed her back.

Li suddenly grabbed Sue's hand and dragged him into the tent. Su did not object, but closed the curtain of the camp with his backhand, and then stared at Li coldly with a gloomy face.

As the only woman in the current army, Liz is also a one-man tent. Her tent was smaller than Su's, with only a makeshift bed in it, and her equipment and clothes were piled up under the bed, and she didn't have much anyway. The two men were crammed into the tent, and there was little room to turn around.

Perhaps sensing Su Ling's fierce gaze, Li hugged her knees and shrank in the corner, her forehead against her knees, and she didn't look up at Su at all. She was already soaking wet, and drops of water were still running down her short chestnut hair. Sue reached out and touched her hair, then spread her hand. The rain in the palms of your hands is gray, and you can see countless fine dust floating on it. Sue's palms were slightly numb, a sign of radiation stimulation.

Su was silent and lifted Li up. Although Li has fourth-order strength, Su's current strength is also very fierce, and in front of Su's silent anger, she actually looks a little timid, and she has no intention of resisting at all.

Su grabbed Rei's clothes and tore her blouse in half with a fierce force, then tore off her battle corset and threw it to the ground.

Li trembled a little, didn't move, and let Su San strip herself to the ground. Sou took the sheets and wiped the rain off Rei a few times, and then threw the wet sheets and Rei's wet clothes outside the tent.

Leigh sat on her knees, her head bowed, like a child who had made a mistake.

Su ignored her, but took out the tactical board and directly connected the preset line. A few seconds later, Helen's image appeared on the screen. Just as she was in battle whenever she was connected, Helen seemed to be always at work and never saw her rest.

Helen's eyes turned and she saw the naked Li, and the half-naked Sue, and said lukewarmly: "It seems that now is not a good time to talk." Or are you finally willing to let me see your physiological reactions? That's good news, but it's really good news when you're in front of me. ”

"There's a storm here, and seven people on my side are getting rainy. I need the hospital to be prepared, and as soon as the rain stops, I'll send a car to take them back. Sue said.

Helen on the screen lowered her head and was busy, and when she heard this, she didn't look up at all, but said, "Please be more specific, Lieutenant Su." I don't remember that there were as many as seven people in your ranks who were eligible to be treated in my hospital. ”

Su suppressed his anxious mood for a moment, slowed down his tone, first explained what had just happened, and then said, "This is the case, Li and the six warriors need treatment. The radiation of this rain is very strong. ”

Helen raised her head, glanced at Su, and then began to get busy again, and said lightly: "Counting you, there should be eight people who were caught in the rain." ”

"I'm fine, I'm not afraid of radiation." Su Shen said.

Helen frowned obviously, put down what she was doing, pondered for a while, and then said: "It is indeed possible, and you should know more about your body than I do, of course, this situation is only temporary." As for who to be treated, Liz can, others can't, let your field doctor treat them. ”

"And what about these warriors? I don't have a field doctor here, and I don't have any medicine! With radiation of this intensity, they can't survive a day! Sue couldn't contain her anger anymore.

Leigh kept staring at Helen on the screen, and suddenly said, "I don't need to be treated, so you can save my warriors!" ”

"Shut up!" Su Xiangli roared, which made Li tremble and involuntarily retreated.

Su looked at Helen and said in a calm voice, "Shouldn't you explain?" ”

Helen lifted her glasses and asked seriously, "Does this need to be explained?" Lieutenant Su, you're not really so naïve, are you? ”

Her tone was flat, but Sue heard a great mockery in it. At this time, Su calmed down and said, "I really don't understand. ”

"Alright then, I'll explain it to you." Helen put down the work in her hand, crossed her arms, faced the screen, and said in a mechanically cold, uninhibited voice: "Institutionally, only dragoons or servants are eligible to be treated in the hospital of Dragon City. Of course, there are some exceptions to the Dragoon's private hospital, such as your subservient woman, but this is only possible if Quinn pays enough for it. Let's talk about the more realistic reasons. The treatment of this kind of acute radiation is much more difficult than the treatment of mutant tissues, and the price of the special drug for one person is 250,000. Lieutenant Su, with your current credit and financial situation, I can only accept pre-treatment for Li, and if she is willing to cooperate with my research, I can also reduce some of the fees. As for the other 6 fighters, Lieutenant Su, you have no ability to vouch for them. ”

"Just watching them die?" Sue's voice gradually became somewhat similar to Helen's.

Without hesitation, Helen replied directly: "Yes, human life in the wilderness is not valuable. I think you know this better than I do, Lieutenant Su. ”

Su did know the laws of the wilderness, and had seen death countless times. It's just that he can't accept that the Dark Dragoon obviously has this ability, but he refuses to treat it, even if it is a warrior who has fought bloodily with him.

"Is a person's life measured in terms of money?" Su smiled bitterly, a little helpless to herself.

Helen apparently heard this and replied, "Yes, there is a price for everybody." You, me, and even Persephone, have their own prices. You can disagree with this, but others will have their own evaluation of your price, and the price that most people agree with is your actual value. If you don't accept it, it just means that you think the price is low. ”

Su sighed and said, "Perhaps, people still have dignity. Is dignity valuable? ”

"Of course. As I said, people who refuse to sell their dignity often do so simply because they don't think the price is high enough. Helen said very seriously, as if she was discussing an academic issue with Sue. However, her next sentence made Su speechless: "And in this era, people who can still insist on their dignity are either dead, or they are so strong that no one can challenge his dignity." But if there is such a person, it means that everyone else except him will live without dignity at all. ”

"Can you treat the soldiers first, and I'll find a way to pay for the treatment later." Su himself actually didn't have any hope for this mention.

Helen was surprisingly silent for a while before she said, "Sue, you have disappointed me very much. I had no idea that you would make such a request. There are three things you need to keep in mind, first, you should know that there is such a thing as interest in this world. The money you pay into Persephone's account is not enough for even a fraction of the interest. Persephone should never mention this to you, but that doesn't mean the borrower won't charge her interest. Second, Leigh's treatment costs were actually on credit. If you are willing to admit to sharing Persephone's debts, then in your present position you owe nothing on credit anywhere. So, you've got special treatment. Third, perhaps you can ask Persephone for more, but not me. I don't have any special relationship with you, and I don't have any reason to pay for you. Lieutenant Su, you imagine yourself too important, the world doesn't revolve around you. ”

Sue's face flushed with a strange flush, and every word Helen spoke, like a sharp needle, pierced his pride mercilessly, and his heart had never beaten so wildly, even in the face of the most dangerous enemies. All the blood seemed to be out of control, rushing to the brain like crazy.

"By the way, I remember that there was a word in the old days that could very well describe your current situation, and that was soft rice. When you don't have to eat Persephone Soft Rice anymore, I'll be happy to accommodate your request. But now, Lieutenant Su, you can't save a few people, please don't abuse Persephone's resources. That's it, remember to send Leigh over tomorrow. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Su to answer, Helen directly cut off the communication.

There was a long silence in the tent before Liz broke the silence: "It seems that I have caused you trouble again." ”

"I've already shouted for everyone not to come out, why don't you listen?" Sue's voice carried some irrepressible anger. But even he himself couldn't tell whether he was completely angry at Leigh's self-assertions, or if he was angry at Leigh because of Helen's words.

"They're all my fighters, and they'...... Aren't you out there too? Leigh's voice was low, and her eyes fell on the corner of the tent.

"I'm different from you, at least I'm not afraid of this kind of Cheng dù's radiation!" Sue was furious, and in his opinion, Lei's actions were completely meaningless, and instead put herself in it. If it weren't for the medical conditions of the Dark Dragoon, Eli's physique would not have survived for three days.

Li suddenly raised her head and stared at Su: "But I don't know!" You've never told me this, and you've never told me about you, and I know almost nothing about you! ”

Facing Li's burning gaze, something hard in Su's heart quietly melted. Indeed, Leigh knew almost nothing about him, and neither did Persephone. All along, Su has deliberately closed herself. For him, being known meant danger.

Su sighed, took off a clean set of combat uniforms hanging on the tent wall, handed it to Leigh, and said, "Put it on, you can't get cold now." ”

Li didn't take the clothes, and suddenly threw herself into Sue's arms and hugged him tightly! Through the touching skin, Sue could fully feel the amazing heat on her body, and the strength of her hug also surprised and touched Sue.

"Give it to me!" Rei's head was buried in Sue's chest. Her voice was low, but like a roaring lioness.

"Not now! You're weak right now, and it's going to kill you. Su directly refused.

Leigh raised her head and stared into Sue's eyes: "Then when will it be given to me?" You promised. ”

Su didn't remember when she had promised her this, but under such close contact, Su could feel that the vitality in her body was rapidly decaying, and her breathing had begun to reveal a faint bloody aura.

This guy Li, for a hundred dollars, became his servant, and rushed out on a deadly rainy night, perhaps, just so that he could get less rain. She probably didn't think much of it, but instinctively did it.

"When you come back from the hospital, I'll give it to you." Sue said. In fact, the speed at which Reich's life was failing made him very worried, and if this continued, maybe Rei would not survive tomorrow night.

Leigh's eyes suddenly glowed, and she almost gritted her teeth and said, "I will definitely come back alive!" ”

The rainy night was very cold, and Rei soon felt tired and fell asleep in Sue's arms. Sue turned up her body temperature and warmed her like this until the rainstorm stopped.

As soon as the rain stopped, the roar of the off-road vehicle was heard, and it was Rigore who drove in, his cigarette butt standing out in the dark.

Sue picked up the sleeping Leigh into the buggy, handed him a piece of paper, and said, "Send her to Persephone's private hospital in Dragon City and find a woman named Helen." I've marked the location on the map, so be sure to be fast. ”

"No problem, sir. What about the others? Rigore clicked on the accelerator, and the buggy trembled and roared like a leashed monster.

"It can't be saved. Only Liz can, she's a servant. Sue replied briefly.

Rigore didn't ask much, but stomped the accelerator to death, and the off-road vehicle roared, splashing large clouds of mud, all the way away.

Seeing Li Gaolei walking away, Su Cai turned around and slowly walked towards his camp. With each step he took, his heart fell like a lead stone and became heavy, for there was no life in the tent. He leaned over and opened the curtain, and there was a thick smell of blood in his face.

Each of the six warriors had blood oozing from their mouths and noses, and their eyes were closed. They were crowded together, and they had all fallen into an eternal sleep.

Su stood silently.

I don't know how long later, Quinn's voice sounded behind him: "Chief, they can't do it, bury it, or burn it, and if you keep it like this, the living brother will be sick." ”

Sue sighed.

Now it seems that even if Helen is willing to save them, these soldiers will definitely not survive to reach the hospital, even if the heavy rain stops at that time, they will not survive Dragon City. But that didn't alleviate the heaviness in Sue's heart. Helen is right, his current ability is very limited, even if he has the heart, he can't save a few people, and he already has a lot of responsibilities, and indiscriminate favors will only make him unable to fulfill the responsibilities he has.

Quinn stood beside Sue and looked at the dead warrior. These six people were all veterans who had followed him for a long time, and each one he was familiar with.

Quinn touched his beard, took out a small bronze flask, poured a few sips of spirits, and then said with a smile, "Boss, don't feel sorry for them." They are very lucky to be alive today. What day in the wilderness will no one die? ”

Su shook his head and said, "They are my warriors, but I can't help them." ”

Quinn turned his head, looked at Sue, and said, "You did your best, sir." That's all that matters. ”

Did your best?

Sue was silent. It's just that, at this moment, he feels that Helen and Persephone are right, and many times, only the result is the most important, and it doesn't matter whether you try your best or not.

"Boss, do you know why I'm willing to be your servant?" Quinn's tone was not like a subordinate talking to a superior, but like an old friend chatting: "Because I believe that if I am blown off my leg on the battlefield, you will definitely drag me back if you can." In retrospect, I was not wrong in my decision. ”

"But I can only drag one person at a time." Sue's heart was full of gloom.

Quinn laughed and said, "Don't think like that, sir. You should think that it is better to be able to drag one away than not to be able to drag one! Chief, this is war, and war always kills. We've got to look ahead! ”

Su perked up, nodded, and said, "You're right. Inform our people that we will pack up after dawn, and we will leave here and move to the edge of the core of Dragon City. ”

"We're leaving?" Quinn was a little surprised, but thoughtful.

"Yes."

"Alright! Looks like we're going to smash these scorpions to pieces! Quinn said.

The smile that had not been seen for a long time returned to Sue's face. "Yes." He said.
