Chapter Ninety-One: Hostages of Cooperation

When Chu Ming and Sache arrived, it was two days after Ji Yu's accident. In two days, the other party had already completed the encirclement, so Chu Ming and Sache could only sneak in alone, and of course Meggie had already sent them away. This time Meggie did not object, this is Meggie's advantage, as long as Chu Ming insisted, she would definitely not have the slightest objection, and she didn't even need Chu Ming to speak.

Both of them have extraordinary abilities, although the process is dangerous, but the resilience of the two has always turned danger into a disaster. When they arrived in Brownstone, they saw the devastation of the town, which had been completely wiped out by the long-range covering bombardment, and the brown stone was shattered and then melted and hardened in the heat. The white crystals on the flat ground make the whole town feel like a desolate saline land. Most of the ground is busy with machinery, mostly repairing the defensive ring, and the new inner shield is also in the process of being built. In addition to this, all non-combatants were transferred to underground bunkers.

"You shouldn't have come."

Seeing Chu Ming and Thatcher Edwards was happy for a moment, but then they only saw that there were only two of them, so their faces sank again. The surrounding classmates also came up to say hello in twos and threes, but they didn't seem to be in high spirits. The underground bunkers were bright, but the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

"It's useless to say this, what's wrong with Ji Yu." Chu Ming looked at Edwards, he had never had a good impression of Edwards Chu Ming, and this time he missed the best opportunity to break through because of his hesitation.

"It's stabilized, but this kind of thing is not good, and the conditions here are not yet the best treatment."

"Where's Accord? Still no news? ”

"Nope." Edwards replied calmly, everyone knows that the Dao Accord is more than lucky. Although the battlefield recorder did not record the scene after the worst scenes, everyone knew the results.

"Don't you feel happy?" Chu Ming looked at Edwards and suddenly became a little annoyed, this was not Chu Ming's personal prejudice. As a leader, you must not be depressed at this time, if a unit does not have morale, it can only be destroyed.

"What are you happy about?" Edwards glanced at Chu Ming in surprise, and then seemed to understand. Talking helplessly, "I know what you're talking about." But things are not what you think, the contradiction between me and Accord is not between us, but between our family. Here, you don't know the way, and the other students know the way. If the people of our two families meet alone, they will inevitably fight to the death, which is an entanglement for thousands of years. There's no way to untie it, and I'm not going to ignore the big picture as it stands. ”

Chu Mingleng immediately understood what was going on, and in his memory of his previous life, there was also a thing called "fighting a wrongdoer", in Mark. That's what Twain wrote about in his book. It's a ridiculous and cruel thing, and it's a dead knot that can't be untied. But Chu Ming didn't care about this the most

"What do you want to explain? Edwards, why don't you try to laugh at what you want. You can be happy or you can be crazy, but you can't be depressed, you know what I mean. The smell of coffins in this underground bunker is too strong, don't you think? Do you want to rot here! Chu Ming's last sentence was said loudly to everyone

Edwards didn't seem to be angry, he didn't even have the hope of being angry, but he was still the leader here, so it was up to him to answer Chu Ming's question

"There's no way around it. The latest figures, including the Accord, we have a total of 15 casualties, but fortunately, the treatment is timely, except for the wounded Jiyu, who have basically recovered, but the combat effectiveness has to be reduced. Even if we want to break through now, we don't have enough strength, so we are here to wait for reinforcements. ”

"Plans, don't give me any plans. This plan is just your family's plan, a plan to wait for death, are you so stupid that you can't even see this? Chu Ming said unceremoniously, "Now, forget about the reinforcements, forget the family, as long as you are yourself, it's time to take life and death into your own hands, instead of waiting for rescue thousands of miles away." Including all the living people here, think for yourselves. ”

After Chu Ming said this, the reaction was not great, not only Edwards was indifferent, but even the classmates around him had the same expression. It seems that he has willingly accepted the arrangement of fate. In an instant, Chu Ming understood what was going on, obviously, it was impossible to make these family children forget the family, the family's order was more authoritative than death. Chu Ming figured this out, so he did something that surprised everyone again.

"Everyone, gather here, now- you've been kidnapped, the boys stand on the left, the girls stand on the right, and the shemales have taken off their views on life."

What's even funnier is that everyone is very obedient, only to see a group of substitutes being commanded by a man wielding a small knife, first in line, then in number, and the best hostage of the year appears.

"Is it worth it?" Sache looked at the students who had gathered and asked in a low voice, even an outsider Sache understood what Chu Ming was doing. Because of the attack on this special training, Chu Ming already had a black cauldron on his body, and now his approach is to take the initiative to carry another black cauldron on his back, a black cauldron that disobeys the family's orders. According to the rumored understanding of Chu Ming, Chu Ming should be a person with thousands of conspiracies and tricks to let others carry the black pot and get away with it.

Chu Ming pondered for a while and didn't think of how to answer Sache's question, it is difficult to explain what the reason is for acting rashly, in the final analysis, Chu Ming is still a man, and being free and easy does not mean being irresponsible, so Chu Ming asked rhetorically, "What about you?" ”

"Me? I'm just a mercenary, you're the employer, of course I listen to you. ”

"Is it still now? Now this 'button' is not an ordinary trouble, as you wish, those families have gone into the water, and now this pool of water is as muddy as glue. ”

"Of course, it's not better, it's really meaningful special training, which saves me a lot of effort." Sache stood straight next to Chu Ming, like a nail. Apparently not intending to leave.

"Anyway. Thank you."

Chu Ming expressed his gratitude emotionlessly, and the tenderness between the iron-blooded men was only that. Then he loudly began to prepare the queue

"Attention all the students, it is class time, from now on you are all ordinary soldiers, and one thing you have to do is obey, even if you are asked to die. So, forget about those things that don't matter. Let me be honest, I can't guarantee that you'll all go back in the first place, but I can assure you that you'll know that living is not entirely a thing to be happy about. If you're going to escape, then be careful, you're my prisoners, and I won't mind tearing up the ticket. Now, all attention, get out of cover and walk in unisonβ€”"

Leaving the underground bunker, the trainees seemed to perk up a little, perhaps because of the long-lost sky, or perhaps because they saw a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.

"Now welcome to my instructors, Weaver and Fowler."

After Chu Ming's words, Weaver and Fowler walked out of the crowd amid sparse applause. During this time, these two people were deliberately alienated and forgotten by these students like air, no one knew what they were doing, but Chu Ming knew what they were doing, and they had suffered a lot for it.

Looking at the disapproval of a group of classmates, Chu Ming sternly yelled loudly: "I'm talking about welcome, not asking you to shoot mosquitoes." Do you really think that the enemy has not been attacking because of your stubborn resistance? If you guys are skeptical, then I need two, not volunteers, Ian, you one, and you, Healy. Now I'm asking you to rush into that area and come back. ”

Chu Ming didn't mean to ask for advice, and he didn't care about the friendship of his classmates, the area he pointed to was the junction of the battle lines of the enemy and us, but it was not the enemy's usual attack direction, it was a no-man's land of dozens of kilometers, and of course it had been leveled by artillery fire countless times.

Ian and Healy, confused, drove their mechs out of the perimeter of defense. These days' battles are concentrated in this defensive circle, and strictly speaking, only the inner defensive circle is now considered a complete defensive circle.

"Ian! What happened to you? Is it that last night's food was not to your liking, if you stop there I will order a shot. ”

Chu Ming laughed loudly, and Ian and Healy didn't move far after they walked out of the outer defensive circle, which confused most of the students.

"Report to the squad leader, there are mines." Ian's voice came from the public channel

"Powerful substitute cultivator, did I hear it wrong? Is it a mine or a rare plant, Ian, please, there is no need for environmental protection now, let's move forward. ”
