Chapter 231: There Was Never Hope [First Update]
Commander Xu was the first to react, he carefully looked at these giants, and felt that they didn't seem to have malicious intent, so he slowly stepped forward and asked Lin Chao in doubt: "Who are these few?" ”
"Indigenous remnants in the ruins." Lin Chao glanced at the onlookers on the street, and did not elaborate, among these people it is likely that there are spies sent by other bases, if the value of the giant's relics is exposed, it is likely that the Yanhuang base will cause other bases to covet it, although there is no base that can help the Yanhuang base at present, but there is no guarantee that there will be no future ones, and when there is no suitable opportunity, the poisonous snake will hide its fangs.
"The specific situation, Tulips will explain it to you in detail later, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them, they won't hurt anyone."
Commander Xu realized that this was not the place to speak, and nodded slightly.
Behind Lin Chao, others came out one after another, most of them were disabled, and because they had been in the ruins for too long, their scars stuttered, and they could no longer be repaired and cured, so they could only transplant mechanical prostheses.
The onlookers on the street couldn't help but be moved when they saw the tragic situation of these generals and officers.
"Isn't that General Zhou, the top fifty characters on the God of War list, his arm is actually gone."
"Didn't scouts be sent to investigate in the ruins, they should have intelligence, how could they be injured so strictly, and the number of people seems to be much less."
"What about the top ten warriors, why didn't you see it."
There was a commotion in the streets, and if all the ten warriors fell in the ruins, it would be a big blow to them.
Commander Xu saw those seriously injured and disabled generals and colonels, his lips trembled slightly, and there was a little pain in his eyes. Having had the experience of the first two expeditions to the ruins, he knew that each expedition would involve a lot of elite sacrifices. But I didn't expect that this time it would be a thorough and long-term investigation. There are still such high casualties.
"Tulips they are still alive? Why didn't it come out. Commander Xu saw that no one came out of the entrance again, and hurriedly asked Lin Chao.
Lin Chao shook his head slightly and said, "They are waiting for Ba Ming, Ba Ming may ...... Killed. ”
"What!" Commander Xu's body shook, his pupils dilated slightly, and his hands and feet were cold.
Syllable!
In an inconspicuous position behind the street crowd, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl was holding a bottle that fell and shattered, unaware of it, and her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. Looking at Lin Chao in front of the crowd in a daze, although the conversation between Lin Chao and Commander Xu just now was very small and drowned out by the surrounding discussions, she could hear it clearly.
He...... He's dead?
The girl's body shook slightly, as if her whole body had been drained of strength, and if anyone noticed her, she would immediately be extremely respectful, because on her shoulder was a silver medal engraved with the words "NO.3".
It is different from the golden medal worn by the Ten Warriors. Silver represents alternates.
This inconspicuous girl is exactly the candidate for NO.3!
The girl clenched her fists and bit her lower lip tightly, blood spilling from her teeth. The sharp pain irritated her, but compared to the pain in her heart, the pain of biting her lip. It's nothing at all.
In her mind, she recalled the familiar images engraved in her heart.
Under the darkness of the night. Disaster struck.
The mother pushed herself away desperately, and was pounced on and bitten to death by the crazy father.
She wiped away tears of grief and ran wildly. Wandering alone in the city in despair and hunger.
One day, when she was curled up in a corner, crying without tears, hungry and bone-pounded, the sun suddenly shone through the sky, and then she looked up faintly, and from the dazzling sunlight, she saw a vague but unruly face, the clearest of which was the curvature of the corners of her mouth.
At that moment, she felt as if it was eternal!
Later, she followed the man into the base, where there was food, drink, and something far more precious than food...... Heartwarming!
His smile is the motivation for his own life!
Later, with the help of Ba Ming, she awakened her ability, and after her ability awakened, she was soon notified by the above that she became the candidate for the next "NO.1", and when Ling Yu died in battle, she was the NO.1 among the top ten warriors!
It can be said that she got a chance to transform from an ugly duckling to a swan!
But she refused, she didn't want to leave this man, although the cultivation resources of NO.1 were very attractive, but compared to this man's smile, it was insignificant.
In the end, under her resolute attitude, she became a candidate for "NO.3".
I thought that we could be together forever.
But when she heard Lin Chao's words, she was stupid and stunned, her mind was completely blank, buzzing, and the blood in her whole body seemed to be frozen.
It's been a long time, a long time!
The girl bent down and picked up a piece of wishing paper from the broken bottle, revealing a passage in the corner of the paper: "Always be your alternate......"
Call!
The wishing paper was in the palm of her hand, silently annihilated.
……
The General Headquarters of the Base.
There were four giants standing at the door, and the reckless aura on their bodies was daunting, and the surrounding guards looked at several giants from a distance and whispered about them.
On the top floor of the Commander Building, Lin Chao leaned on the reception sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the three people standing in front of him, according to Commander Xu's introduction, two of the three people were senior hydropower engineers, and the other was a professor-level senior architect who had won a big award.
In the old days, all three were celebrities.
But at this moment, the three of them were very restrained in front of Lin Chao, full of politeness and humility, after more than half a year of baptism in the apocalyptic environment, they recognized their current status very interestingly, not to mention that they were just a civilian high-level profession, even if they were generals in the army in the old era, in front of this young man in his early twenties, they had to be honest and not dare to be arrogant.
"They are a few good players in the base, you can see if there are enough, if it is not enough, I will call a few more people." Commander Xu said a little absent-mindedly, although with his experience, he covered it up well, but there was still a little pain in his eyes, this time to explore the giant's ruins, the loss of the base was too great, especially the loss of Ba Ming, which was worth more than ten honorary generals!
Lin Chao knew that he was still immersed in grief, but he didn't say anything, comforting people was not his forte, and death was a common thing for him, Ba Ming's death just made him feel regretful, he often walked by the river, how could he not get his shoes wet, maybe it would not be long before Ling Yu and Tulip would die on the mission, even if it was himself, he would have already had the consciousness of death!
When he can live, he will struggle desperately, but when death comes, he will face it calmly.
"Just them." Lin Chao stood up, he had done everything beforehand, and it was time to go back to his base. (To be continued......)
