Chapter 747: The Game Begins One
"The Andula Worm is a Calamity Worm created by Dr. Andura, and they are severely uncontrollable. Andula bugs, in particular, are instinctively extremely hostile to humans. So we had to abandon that base and leave the Andula Worm at the bottom of the Well of the Weeping. It's just that I didn't expect that man to be able to come out of the hive, which also made us reevaluate it. ”
The first member of the Brotherhood to speak before said, "Now, then, vote." Those who are in favor of reaching out to the Poseidon and providing the necessary assistance, please turn on the lights. ”
So the little red lights in the darkness came on one by one, and when there were no more lights, there were six lights in total. Six small lamps form a circle, and on each lit lamp, a pillar of light falls, revealing the members of the Brotherhood that they represent. But in this ring of lights, there is only a black place, and the first person faces the tunnel and says, "Solomon, do you have any objections?"
A unique sound rang out, hoarse and low, but it didn't feel unpleasant in the slightest. The voice said, "I have always believed that the Brotherhood should no longer act as a dark guide. To be honest, we do not have the right to decide the future of the people of the mainland, their future should be in their own hands. ”
"But don't forget, Solomon. If we hadn't guided it, the continent wouldn't be what it is now. The only woman in the fraternity said.
"Do you think that life is good now, Isabel, look at the Sauron we have chosen, he has brought nothing but brutality and heavy taxes. ”
"But you can't deny that without Sauron's iron will, we would have been able to open the path of blood and put most of our resources in the hands of the human side, rather than sharing them with the filthy aliens?"
"The alien race is also a life, and it is also a life with a higher intelligence. Who of you can be sure that if it hadn't been for that war, maybe we would have been able to work with the aliens to improve the living conditions of the entire continent?"
"Well, there is no point in such a debate. The first person said: "The past cannot be changed, and the future is in our hands is the safest." We have an ancient heritage, and only we can ensure that the mainland will not deviate from the track of survival and eventually reach the other side of hope. Solomon, isn't that why we've come together?"
"But what I had been hoping for back then has now deteriorated in my opinion. With this sigh-like voice, the member named Solomon was silent.
"He's gone. Isabel said softly.
"It doesn't matter, he's just lost, and he'll be fine after a while. The first person said, "Then the resolution passes." Isabelle, it's up to you to contact the Poseidon. ”
"It's a great honor. ”
"Then this meeting is over, brothers and sisters, next time zaijian. ”
When the lights were turned on one by one, in the huge hall of more than 300 square meters, only Joseph and Mendrisa sat two people, and the other positions were screens, and the people and voices in the direction were just means of remote communication.
About 30 seconds later, a screen directly east lit up, revealing the person who had just presided over the entire meeting. The man who couldn't see his face clearly said, "Joseph, and Mendrissa." My brother, do you think Pope Paul is enough to lead the continent without Sauron and the Queen Zero?"
Mendrissa remained silent, while Joseph Sr. said, "His Highness Paul is still very young, and he has already behaved very well. Although it was with our covert funding that he was able to organize the rebel army of Ista to contain Sauron, he has proven his talent over the years. Most importantly, he showed us the quality of forbearance. ”
"Forbearance?" the first chuckled, "It seems to me that he is still not calm enough. I've just heard that he and Zoro have torn their faces at the rally, which will put themselves in a bad position. So this young pope, I'm afraid it's still too short-sighted. ”
"And what do you mean, Lord Gosato?" Mendrisa finally spoke.
The man named Gori said in a deep voice: "If order on the continent is restored through zero, and Pope Paul is unable to lead this continent, then it is the time for our brotherhood to move from darkness to light. ”
"I hope that when the time comes, you can see the votes of both of you in favor of the resolution. ”
The screen flickered, and the figure inside disappeared.
Old Joseph sat still, while Mendrissa sneered, "Finally, you can't hold it back? ”
"Mendrissa, what do you think?"
"Can we stop it?" Mendrissa replied, his words full of bitterness.
"We can't help it, but that doesn't mean others can't. Joseph Sr. replied, "Perhaps, we should give a little information to our young Pope." ”
Mendrissa took a look, and then nodded: "You want to pass on Gouri's thoughts to Zero's ears through Paul?"
"Since that man can't see the tyranny of Zoro, in the same way, the tyranny of the Brotherhood and Gori, he probably can't sit idly by, right?"
"But wouldn't we be in danger in that case?"
"Let's talk to Solomon, or he will give us a fair opinion. Joseph said, "But before that, talk to His Highness Paul." ”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and an old man who looked like a butler pushed the door in and said to Joseph, "Sir, His Royal Highness Paul asks to see you." ”
"It couldn't have come at a better time. Joseph laughed.
It was already dark, and a faint glow of fire lit up in the wilderness. About 300 kilometers from the City of Rocks, a modified car is parked on the side of the road, and the light of the fire is shining behind the car, and the laughter of children can be faintly heard.
Jafidi sat on the ground with a faint smile on her face as her three children chased and frolicked in the wilderness. Beside it was a blue flame, a smokeless fire provided by a marching furnace and solid fuel. There is a round pot on top, and inside is a pot of broth made from instant food and clean water. So in the night, the fragrance is overflowing.
"Anne, come with my brothers, we can eat. His wife, Mina, called softly, and handed another bowl of broth to Yafidi.
Mina is just an ordinary person, but because of Yafidi's husband, she got a life-boosting injection after getting married. It is a booster developed by the laboratory of the Papal Chamber, which can greatly stimulate the life potential of ordinary people, making their physical fitness far superior to that of their peers. However, this potion does not produce powers, and it is expensive, so only those nobles who do not have the ability will use it to extend their lifespan.
But the booster shot also has a lot of benefits, first of all, it has no side effects, and secondly, it greatly improves the ability of ordinary people to resist radiation, even if there is no abnormal tissue, they can survive on the surface. It's just that because they can't be widely used, these injections are only in the hands of a few.
As for the three children of Yafidi, they did not use the injections, but they were already tested at birth for the potential to have abilities. Anne is in the Perception Domain, and the other two boys are in the Fighting Domain, and they are currently at a first-order level in their own realm. It's just that their potential is not high, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach their father's height, but the combination of a high-level and an ordinary person can produce a low-level ability descendant is already a lucky thing.
At least as in the wilderness, the three children are basically able to resist the erosion of radiation.
"Are we heading to the City of Rocks?" Mina asked, after giving her three children a bowl of broth.
"The defenders of Rock City are the Tenth Army, Adam is now in the city of Rome, plus we have the coat of arms of the House of Signe as a cover, it is not difficult to enter Rock City. Sine is well prepared, but there are still a few things missing, and he hopes to make up for it in Rock City. Then we headed east and found a place to stay away from the bloodstained road. When Yafidi said this, he apologized: "It's just that I want to drag down your mother and son, and I really don't want to go." ”
"Say what. Mina pretended to be angry and said, "We are a family, a family, people who want to stay together regardless of whether they are rich or poor." So in the future, you are not allowed to say anything that drags you down. ”
Yafidi's heart warmed, and he didn't speak, but gently grabbed his wife and let her lean into his arms. Suddenly, Jafidi looked behind him, but there was nothing in the night.
"What's wrong?" Mina asked.
"Nothing, it should be...... Delusion, right?" said Yafidi, who was not sure that he had been watched, but the feeling was fleeting.
"It's a dangerous guy, I almost found it just by looking at it. ”
A skinny man patted his chest as he held a telescope behind a rocky hill on the other side of the road. Three men sat in the front, and in the center was Scar.
On the left is a large man nearly two meters tall, wearing his own welded armor. The armor didn't have any style, just iron sheets and copper sheets soldered together haphazardly, and it looked very rough. At the feet of the big man were two machine guns, a one-handed axe and a long-handled war hammer. As you can imagine, when armed with these things, he is like a moving fortress.
On the right is a man dressed in black clothes and black pants, with a row of leather buttons on his chest and on the calf of his trousers, which is the complete opposite of the previous big man. The man had no weapons, but as he ran his fingers across the ground in a boring way, he left marks comparable to those of a sharp knife.
The skinny man from before came to Scar's side and said, "Boss, we've found him, what's next?"
"What to do, of course, kill him and smash him into a patty!" said the tall man, in a low voice.
Scar shook his head and said, "Yafidi's strength cannot be underestimated, and he attaches great importance to his family. In such a situation, it will only push him to hurry. The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, forcing a high-ranking person to be anxious, who knows what he would do. ”
"And what do you mean?" asked the man in black.
"We are walkers in the dark, wolves. Remember, our purpose is to kill Jafidi, not to go up and duel him in the open, so we might as well use some means. Scar sneered, "Like a wolf chasing its prey, let's run after Yafidi first." From time to time tear off a piece of flesh from him, so that he will be more anxious. If we are in a hurry, we will have a chance, so let's have a good time with the former head of the regiment. ”
