208 The origin of the homeless
“…… So, my lord, you said you had come to pick us up to the city on orders? ”
Bai Er nodded and said, "Yes." ”
It was just an ordinary soldier in the barracks who saved everyone from the demon's control?
But a person who dares to fight the devil so head-on and is full of the brilliance of the leader will be just an ordinary soldier?
An officer who made a mistake in the past and was demoted? Or is it just a temporary hibernation?
But in any case, it is always good news that there are cities willing to send people to take the initiative to accept them.
The elder is old and well-informed, but has lived in the same wilderness oasis for the rest of his life.
I've heard of a city existing, but I've never really touched it.
After being excluded from the oasis, they had already lost faith in their compatriots, and when they heard that they could live in the city, they were hesitant and excited.
"Big ...... My lord, what does the city look like? The more active boy asked expectantly with sparkling eyes.
"City, ......" Bai E looked empty, he didn't know what the city was like, but with the protection of the military camp outside the city, the people inside should be more stable and comfortable, right?
"The city is a home surrounded by steel."
"What about you, my lord?" The girl also spoke out on the side, a pair of clear eyes staring at Bai E's face, and asked with a hopeful gaze.
"Me?" Bai E smiled at her, "I'm a soldier, and I live in a barracks outside the city. ”
The girl's eyes lit up, "Then can I go to the barracks?" ”
"The barracks are the place where you fight, and you should live well."
Bai E didn't know anything else, but at least in Blackwater City, based on the information he knew so far-
With the consumption of artificial people, the pressure to recruit from natural people is not great.
Even if Kiroran enters the barracks, he will most likely learn how to become a qualified nurse like Marsati who he met before.
But if you don't have to, you don't have to join the army.
Bai E just smiled and explained, "But it will be your own choice, I just received an order to take you back, maybe when you get to the city, you will find a more interesting life waiting for you." ”
"So we can join the barracks, right?" The girl seems to be a little persistent.
Bai E spread his hands helplessly, "If you take the initiative to apply, you should be able to do it, but this is not my responsibility." ”
The girl who got the answer stopped asking, "Got it, ...... adult"
"What about you......" After calming the other party's emotions, Bai E got down to business, "Where are you from, and how many of you are there?" ”
These are related to the judgment of the background of these displaced people, as well as the planning of the transfer.
"We are from Jinshuizhou Town...... the elder whispered about the origin of his group.
Simple resource issues.
The oases in the wilderness can support a limited number of people, and as the population grows more and more bloated, the inevitable survival of the fittest will sift through the weak.
The group of people in front of me is the group that was screened out.
The process is not exquisite, it is all in the past, but fortunately, the person is not dead...... Finish.
"We had six hundred and thirty-one people when we set out, and now there are only four hundred and seventeen." As he spoke, the elder looked back at the corpse that had been sucked by the demon, and excluded him.
"More than four hundred people...... Bai E groaned slightly, almost double the amount of information he had obtained at the beginning.
However, as long as these people are willing to cooperate, there is no essential difference in the difficulty of migration between more than 200 people and more than 400 people.
"Zizizi~"
Bai E, who had a general understanding, heard the voice of his teammates coming from the headset, and the determined voice of the tiger seemed to regain its strength, "Bai E, how is it on your side?" ”
While they were waiting to slowly regain their mobility, they who remained in the car had already analyzed their current situation with reason.
Out of sanity, they need to send someone back to the barracks to report the situation.
A demon invading the real world is a big deal that only the professionals of the Inquisition can handle.
And out of affection, they don't want to see the Baie brothers fighting alone.
Especially after being shared by the demon with the real-time footage in the crypt, even his heart tugged.
It's just that the White Brothers seem to have discovered the demon's weakness and fought back, and the rest of the story is out of their observation.
Demons in need of more power took the initiative to trigger the seeds of fear in their hearts, so that their consciousness fell into a haze.
The images shared by the demons in their minds ended imperceptibly during their struggle against the darkness of nothingness, only to find that their consciousness was blurred in confrontation and fear, let alone clear all the details.
Only the trust in a certain name is deeply rooted in the bottom of my heart -
White E.
When calling this name in despair, it seems that you can really get warm redemption.
So after everyone woke up from the terrifying illusion in their minds again, Tiger immediately contacted Bai Er.
"My side?" Bai Er's gaze swept over the homeless people who were gradually coming to their senses again, watching them snuggle together in the dark and heal the scars in their hearts, and smiled before replying, "Everything is fine." ”
"Good!" Tiger's voice was uplifting, "Let's go in right away." ”
"By the way...... Bai Er remembered a little and reminded him loudly, "bring something to eat." ”
"Okay."
Hanging up the voice, Tiger looked at the other fighters around him excitedly, "He's okay over there." ”
Everyone's situation is basically not much different, and the picture shared by the demon only stays at Bai E's time when he is fighting alone.
Then the surging emotions of non-self forcibly surged up to drown them, and everyone who was vigilant in their hearts, although they tried their best to resist, also lost their observation of the shared picture in a daze.
When he came back to his senses, the image shared by the demons was over.
"It seems that Bai Er drove away the demons?"
"Really...... That's amazing. ”
Captain No. 2 looked at the tiger with a face full of shame and said, "This time it is thanks to Bai Er in your team, otherwise we would have to be planted here again." ”
The soldier in the corner buried his face and did not dare to see anyone, 'On the way here, I told him that you can call me when it is dangerous......
The caution that the White Brothers said before setting out was indeed correct, but unfortunately, even if they were careful enough, it seemed to be useless in this place.
There were no surprise attacks, and there were no external threats.
The real danger comes from within.
The Tiger Squad is not separated, but the hearts of each member are still an island.
Except for the White E......
It is said that this brother performed well when the Zerg lair faced the dominant psionic realm at that time, but they were in the reserve echelon at that time and did not feel the gold content of saving more than 400 people.
Now it seems that if the psionic realm dominated by the Zerg at that time could have the intensity they felt now, then it would be unimaginable for Bai E to achieve that feat.
"And now? Shall we go in? There were also warriors who calmly kept their doubts, "He didn't necessarily really drive away the demons, didn't the scouts who disappeared before also become the demons' minions?" Now it is also possible that his words are a trap set by the devil to trick us all back. ”
In the face of an enemy like a demon they don't know about, any idea of dealing with it will stretch in the most extreme direction.
"I don't think it's likely." Song Ying glanced at the warrior who spoke, "Bai E has never disappointed, he will never become a demon's minion. ”
"But even everyone present couldn't avoid the demon's attack, why should he? It's hard for me not to believe it's a devil's trap. ”
"Don't forget that he saved us."
"I can wake up without him saving myself." He recovered the fastest of all the fighters left in the car, which is why he felt that he was no worse than anyone else.
His teammate tugged at the corner of his coat and whispered, "If it was a trap in the first place, then there is no need for Bai Er to rescue us all from the crypt." ”
The skeptical warrior looked at his teammates seriously, "You must know that even on the Zerg battlefield, he is not the only one who can enter and exit the frontal battlefield. But right now, he is the only one who can resist the demon's spiritual corrosion, don't you have the slightest suspicion? ”
The driver in charge of driving the car in the team said with some hesitation, "I tried ...... on the Zerg battlefield that time."
"That's not what you can do." The questioning warrior's eyebrows were calm, "I don't mean to target anyone, but we always have to be as cautious as possible when we are out on a mission." ”
“……”
Everyone present is also an elite.
Every elite is proud.
If they don't resist, it's hard to believe that there are others who can easily resist and even resist.
Questioning a warrior doesn't sound good, but it makes some sense.
"Why don't you leave someone in the car?"
Captain 1 nodded, "Okay...... Now, Karigan, you and Tiger and their two squads will bring some food to the homeless people as he says. ”
"Okay."
"No problem."
The two captains readily agreed.
……
In the crypt, the five scouts who had disappeared earlier also woke up from their terrible state, and Bai E specially asked the elder to call them over.
He wanted to learn more from them.
But for now...... These former elite fighters don't seem to be in a good state of mind.
Bai E's gaze swept over the dilapidated gloom of their faces.
They are more elite than the outcasts, but it may be that this is why they have suffered more targeted attacks from the demons.
"I left those two photos in your hands, but I actually regretted it after leaving those messages." One of the fighters confided in remorse that he was the first scout to arrive.
Unlike ordinary outcasts, they have been trapped in fear of demons for a long time, and their previous beliefs have been completely destroyed.
Even after the demons had been banished, their spirits could not return to their former high-spirited and full state.
"It's similar to your experience, after I woke up from the vision and escaped from the cave, I felt like a piece of my heart had fallen underneath it, and I wanted to pick it up......"
As he spoke, the warrior's eyes instantly turned red, and he suddenly lowered his head to cover his eyes, and a choked voice squeezed out from between his palms, "But I...... I didn't expect it to become like this. ”
He felt like he was about to be useless.
Even after most of the outcasts bravely took the first step to resist, he still couldn't escape the demon's control.
If it weren't for the fact that the demon whose strength had fallen to a certain level was directly expelled back to the high-dimensional space by Bai E, he would probably still be a pawn in the hands of the demon.
"It's all gone." Bai E was also quite helpless about this, so he could only reluctantly be relieved, "It's all over." Actually......"
Bai Er looked at the mental state of the scouts in front of him, and still asked ruthlessly, "I want to know, how did you all feel during the whole process of being controlled by demons?" ”
Although it can be quite torturous to remind them of those unbearable pasts, in order to learn more information, Bai Er has to take the initiative to uncover their scars.
And there are some things that you have to ask before your teammates arrive, after all, it involves the exorcism oil you use, the origin of this thing...... Not very easy to explain.
