Chapter 35: Persistence of Each
Veronica's serious and uncompromising expression hit her delicate face again, and she insisted:
"I'm a healer, so I know what your body is like right now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ Info You're going to die now!, according to my estimate. Even if only half of the heavily infected people were mutated, there would be nearly a hundred zombies. It's very likely that the garrison will come back and kill them, but you can't do it alone!"
Looking at Veronica, who did not back down, Lance grabbed Veronica's shoulder, and then said seriously:
"I'm not going in to kill all these zombies one by one, I'm just going to give a Naheri Magic Flower. I can't hide if I can't beat it? I can just sneak in and not be discovered. There are only more than 100 zombies, and I can always find a spare gap by myself, so let me see the stitches. If I don't go, I'll be the only one who will survive, and the only ones who will die will be those who are still saved. If I go, those more than 100 lives will survive, and those families will not have to feel the tragedy of losing their loved ones and separating their wives. I felt like I was taking the risk. β
"No, if you go, Her Royal Highness the Princess must also go with you, Her Royal Highness is still in her infancy. It's too dangerous for both of you. I'm going to be sad if you two get hurt!"
At this time, Lance turned to Loxani and asked, "Lorney, would you like to go in with me to deliver the medicine?"
"Of course I do, it's a lifesaver. The White Dragon Princess Roxani turned to Veronica at this time and said, "It's okay for me, Sister Veronica, I'm willing." You trust me and the nasty guys. β
"But...... It's impossible!"
"No, no. Lance's eyes were full of determination that he had to go:
"Trust me! I don't want to repeat the tragedy of Little Tommy. I have long since lost the memory of my loved ones. There is no difference between such pain and the loss of a loved one in itself. I don't want this pain to happen to anyone else. Winnie, give me the Nachni Magic Flower, trust me. β
As he spoke, Lance reached for Veronica's silk wrap containing Naherny's magic flower, which she clutched in her hand. Veronica bowed her head and said nothing, but her hands just didn't let go.
Lance knew that Veronica was very entangled at this time, after all, everyone is life. Lance decides to help Veronica cut off this tangle:
"Winnie, do you think my left arm is still free to raise now?"
"Huh?" Veronica looked at Lance a little confused, she was confused by Lance's sudden question, but replied anyway:
"Of course not! The pain will force your brain to give up the arm lift. Your left arm now needs rest and recuperation. What's wrong Lance? Your left arm hurts again?"
Lance shook his head and smiled at Veronica. Then, Lance gritted his teeth, endured the great pain in his wrist bone, slowly raised his devastated left arm, and then grabbed the silk package with his left hand. With the force of both hands at the same time, he pulled the silk wrap out of Veronica's hand.
When she saw this scene, Veronica was shocked. She knew that Lance's left arm was basically paralyzed, and if she wanted to lift it, she would endure great pain, and maybe she could already fight with the pain of a woman when she gave birth.
"Lance, you!"
Beads of sweat rolled down Lance's temples, and he endured the pain in his left arm, trying to keep his composure, and said, "This is my determination." Winnie, holding it out. β
Lance slowly opened the package, took out some of the petals of the Naherie Magic Flower and placed them in Veronica's hand. Veronica asked suspiciously, "Lance, what are you?"
"Didn't you say that a single petal could save 100 people? Leave some as a backup. The tallest tower must be the Mahogany Chapel. Am I going to get to your grandfather just by running there?"
"Yes, but ......"
Although Lance didn't say anything, the clever Veronica still heard it.
Lance's voice-over is that if Lance fails, he can back up some petals and start a second action. Veronica's tears rolled in her eyes, and Lance was determined to become a benevolent if he didn't succeed.
Veronica suddenly said, "Then I'll go with you! β
"That won't work! Winnie, I know you don't want to leave me alone in danger. But dive into this kind of thing, the fewer people the better. You just wait for Uncle Bagh and them to come. β
Seeing Veronica's resolute expression, the White Dragon Princess Roxani also said at this time:
"Sister Veronica, you're a girl. You don't know swordsmanship or fighting, and if you go with you, it's not good for action, isn't it? Don't worry, I'll take care of the nasty ghost along the way. β
Veronica listened and thought for a moment. It's true that I can't tie the chicken, and I can only drag my feet when I go. I won't say much more.
Seeing that Veronica had given up on following along, Lance wiped his nose with his index finger and smiled confidently, "Alright, take me to the place where I can sneak into the city." β
"Okay, follow me. β
Veronica and Lance quickly walked to a cemetery outside the city. There is a white mist around the purpose, which is intimidating. Inside there are neatly placed sarcophagus tombs. It feels like a patient with autism standing here. The faint breeze and the pressure of the purpose made Lance and Tommy a little scared. After all, humanity's fear of cemeteries is the same. Especially after the appearance of the Legion of the Dead.
Veronica walked to an inconspicuous sarcophagus and called Tommy's servants to push the lid of the coffin. When the heavy sarcophagus made a dull grinding sound, a dark tunnel was revealed. A torch is also hung on the inner stone wall of the coffin.
Veronica took out the flint and steel she had with her and lit the torch. In an instant, a raging flame burst into flames, illuminating the surroundings of the passage.
Veronica pointed to the passage and said:
"This is it, it's a secret passage, and even Uncle Bagh and Mayor Mare's knowledge don't know about it. It was my grandfather who secretly dug it up with the dead former garrison captain Uncle Rond. It is used to lead the townspeople to get out of their shells after MΓ©nice is surrounded. However, the exit of the passage here is still a bit far from the mahogany chapel. β
Lance glanced at the steps that slowly sank into the darkness, and without saying a word, he was about to step inside.
"Wait a minute!" suddenly called out Veronica from the side.
Lance had just turned around and was about to ask what was wrong, when he felt a person suddenly throw himself into his arms and hug him.
As soon as Lance smelled the familiar scent of his hair, he knew it was Veronica. Little Tommy on the side also turned his head embarrassedly. However, the white dragon princess Loxani looked at the two of them with great interest.
"If you can't deliver it, you withdraw it. Don't push yourself. Anyway, you must come back safely!I'll wait for you!" Veronica struggled to suppress her desire to cry.
Lance hugged Veronica with his right hand, patted Veronica on the back and said, "Don't worry, I'm still waiting for you to make me new clothes." β
After saying that, Lance let go of Veronica, took the torch from the side, and then entered the darkness of this secret passage with the white dragon princess Roxani without looking back.
