In the gloomy sentry room, the middle-aged man was still touching the little beast's head by himself, and he didn't care about Wu Kai's departure at all. But it was the stuffed little beast, after the treasure was rejected, the bared teeth grinned, and suddenly the mouth became strangely big, swallowing the mass of flesh and blood essence in one gulp, and then "dong" suddenly turned into a metal ball, submerged into the man's body.

"Ahem, you're not him after all." The middle-aged man raised his metal palm that had just been transformed, and sighed with a doting but extremely disappointed voice.

The man's mind seemed to return to twenty-nine years ago, in that barren Gobi where only bare soil and wind and sand remained, he was alone and aimlessly wandering. He was only five years old that year, and many of the things that had happened before him had been forgotten, and even he couldn't remember why he was adrift. The only thing I can remember is that I was so hungry that I couldn't even walk.

For the first time in the boy's life, when he felt the imminent edge of death so clearly, he saw a giant beast with a metallic sheen running towards him.

Let it eat, it's better than starving to death here." The boy on the verge of collapse thought so. However, what awaits him in the future does not seem to be a doomed death. On the eve of the boy's death from starvation and coma, a metal ball floated down from the back of the mighty and burly beast, and the cold sphere gently wrapped his whole body. "Quack, a cub was found."

The time that follows is so happy, and men can always bring a smile to the corner of their lips every time they recall. Abba who calls himself "Gai" has taken him along the way, traveled too many places, and taught him so many things. Together, they had reached the vast blue sea, climbed over the towering mountains, looked at the extremely cold and endless snowfields, and finally came to the picturesque water town of spring, and they stopped there.

Abba has long become a man's spiritual support, an inseparable and important part of his life. Because of Abba's presence, the man never starved again, never felt lonely again, and he even thought that Abba would never leave him, so the two stayed with each other until he slowly grew old.

That year, he was twenty-one years old, and he was already a strong young man. One day, Abba told him that he had received a call from his community and needed to leave for a while. This is the sixteenth year after they have lived together, and they originally thought that this was only a very brief separation, but the man waited for a long, long time, but he never waited for Abba to come back. "It's been too long, Abba." The man mired in memories muttered to himself.

It wasn't until two and a half years later that news came from outside the water town, saying that the powerful neighbor Hua Zhou in the east had been invaded by a terrifying alien army, and the alien race was ever-changing, killing and plundering land all the way to the central imperial city, and Hua Zhou was about to be wiped out. Although there are inevitably some exaggerations in the news, the man knows that this alien race is talking about the Abba and their key clan.

Abba must be in Huazhou Kingdom, the man is very sure. He had to find it, even though he was already married, but the thought of Abba still drove him to say goodbye to his wife, who was about to give birth, and set out alone on the road to a foreign country.

It's been a long journey, and for the first time, without Abba's protection, it's so hard. The little entanglement on his body had already been out of the house not long ago, and he was robbed by the wild bandits. If it weren't for Abba's learning some wilderness survival skills, a man would not have the life to go to Huazhou Kingdom.

"It's me who is too slow" The man thought, the hard work of crossing the mountains and mountains did not seem to leave a memory, all he could remember was what he saw and heard when he arrived in the country of Huazhou. It was a world shrouded in war and ruins, and the most terrible thing was that everywhere there were only charred ruins, and everywhere there were only dry and hungry people who could not struggle. However, the hatred of the people there seems to be carved into their bones, even if they are hungry and wailing, they can still have the flame of revenge in their eyes, and curse the alien race that destroyed their homes again and again with their souls that are about to dry up.

The distant memories of his childhood seemed to come back to his mind all at once, and the men at that time couldn't believe that this piece of human purgatory was actually the karmic result of Abba and his people. But the facts are always the most convincing evidence, and the huge guilt that doesn't know where comes from makes him have to do something to make up for it, and he can't care about looking for Abba anymore.

In this way, the man, with his relatively strong physique, enlisted in the army and became a begonia soldier in this completely unfamiliar land, but when he joined the army, he never thought about being promoted to the Fierce Armor Legion, but liked to take on some field rescue work. He buried himself in self-redemption for five years, using all the things Abba taught him, and helped many, many people, so much that he couldn't even remember it too clearly.

Time can always create extraordinary miracles, and the scars left by the war have been slowly erased little by little in the hard work of people. He has unconsciously fallen in love with this piece of land for which he has paid sweat, so much so that in the end, he sent a letter back to the water town, hoping that his wife could bring the child over.

However, the man's original abandonment of his wife and children has already broken the woman's heart, and the letters full of remorse and begging have not received forgiveness, and all that is waiting for is the news that the woman has already remarried someone else with the child.

'It's me who is too selfish', women and children are regrets that he can't erase in his life, and men don't even have the qualifications to blame, it's that he never considers women's feelings.

In the forty-second year of the Hua Zhou calendar, he was just over 30 years old that year, and it was only one year since he joined the Peony Society. Since receiving the news that the woman has remarried and is doing well, the man seems to have let go of all his concerns, and devoted himself to the post-disaster construction of Lijuan Mansion, which is still ongoing, and soon gained the love of the masses, and was crowned by Lijuan Mansion as a stranger, and was elected to the Peony Society. If you can stay in Lijuan Mansion like this, and stay until you die, it may be a good choice. But fate has always failed repeatedly.

On a visit to the slums, he met Abba's kind. This is also the first time he has encountered the Key Clan in the nine years since he separated from Abba, and it is the aura of his body that attracts it. It was that key that brought Abba news to this lonely man who had lost contact with his companion key for years.

"Cover, caught." This is the message that the key told him.

The key doesn't lie, that's what Abba told the man.

"I'm going to rescue Abba." The incomparable longing for his loved ones finally overcame the kindness in his heart, and after repeated struggles of pain and pain, he finally chose to betray this land he fell in love with. In the forty-third year of the Hua Zhou calendar, with his help, the key clan successfully attacked the largest grain storage city in Lijuan Mansion. Of course, he must be the only one who helps the key family. The man clearly knows that he is not so capable.

A food crisis that swept the whole country broke out in Huazhou, making this land, which had only a slight respite since the war was ignited, once again fall into the brink of being subverted, which was the last major counteroffensive of the key clan. It's just that under the targeted force suppression of the Fierce Armor Legion, the key clan's counterattack is so powerless. However, the man has no choice, and rescuing Abba can only be his only belief in the future.

"And now, this belief is so ridiculous, ahem." The man looked at his metal palm with a look of loss, as if he wanted to use his fingertips to scratch off the fragments of the fleeting time, but he couldn't erase the brokenness that had been mixed into his life, and the sadness touched the wound again, so that he could no longer hold back his cough.

The metal hand seemed to sense his sadness, and with a "bang" it transformed back into the fluffy little beast again. "Owoo --!" The little beast rubbed the man's chest with pity, but the man shook it off with his other hand, and his round body tumbled far on the ground.

"Go away! You're not him after all! Ahem, ahem. "The man seems to have been provoked by the mercy of the little beast." Ou woo --! The little beast scratched its head helplessly, and roared with grievances on its face.

Looking at the wronged key beast on the ground, the man was a little unbearable. Although the interference of the sacrifice led to the final failure, and all the memories of the keycore have been erased, but the inside is the keycore left by Abba after all. Now it doesn't understand anything, it's like a newborn child, and sees itself as its only support.

"That's it, that's it." The man waved his only hand, forced himself to support his somewhat weak body, and stood up with difficulty. When the little beast saw the man get up, it turned into a metal streamer with a "whoosh", and then turned into a man's metal palm.

Since it has been decided to break with the Funeral Flower Society, it is impossible to stay here for long. He needed to rest in a safe place, and the man was ready to get out of the house. Just when he walked past the place where Wu Kai had just sat down, he found that the thoughtful man had left a dot matrix card on the stool at some point.

This was deliberately left by Wu Kai. The man picked up the dot matrix card and glanced at it, smiled disdainfully, flipped to the back again, and looked at it again, his face changed suddenly. I saw that the front of the sign was engraved with the detailed rules for the arming of the eastern camp, but on the reverse side were two simple names and an address, and at the bottom there was a sentence engraved by Wu Kai:

/ Maybe you have another choice. /

"Maybe I have another choice! Ahem, ahem... The man coughed violently, muttering repeatedly, "Maybe I have another choice!" Ahem, ahem... Maybe I have another choice! ”

The man's cough grew heavier and heavier, as if he couldn't stop at all.

"Roaring ——!" "Roaring ——!" "Roaring ——!"

"Woo——!" "Woo——!" "Woo——!"

Outside the stone hill, the beasts hiding in the mountain forest seemed to be affected by the emotions of their owners, and they began to roar angrily, and the beast howls became louder and louder, like a gust of wind blowing through the mounds deep in this dense forest.

"Wu Kai! Until the end, I'm going to be used by you! The man gritted his teeth, and a mouthful of blood poured out of the corner of his mouth.
