The Desire to Survive: Puppet Chapter
"Can you escape?!"
Ai Lan suddenly grabbed the steel spear beside him and threw it towards the center of the ceiling with all his strength, when he was talking to Wang Wei, he had been paying attention to the movement in the pipe, and when he said the warm current pipe, he heard a slightly rapid breath, right above his head.
There was a loud bang, the floor was pierced by a steel spear, the smoke and dust were sprinkled, and he couldn't see anything clearly for a while, Wang Wei was startled by his move, and hurriedly got up from the ground, and couldn't care about the smoke and dust, his eyes widened to pay attention to the movements around him, for fear that he would be promised to escape again.
A moment later, the smoke had cleared, but it was still just the two of them in the room.
"You're mistaken, besides, even if the promise is in it, what if you stab him to death with this spear?" Wang Wei rubbed his dry eyes angrily.
Ai Lan didn't speak, reached out and pulled out the steel spear, but instead aimed the tip of the spear at Wang Wei.
"What are you doing!?madness?hmm...... This is...... Blood?"
There were still dark blood stains on the tip of the spear, although it was covered with dust, but it could still be seen that Ai Lan's spear definitely hurt people, and I don't know if it was a promise.
"The reaction was quick, and I left my position the moment I started, just a bruise, but it was certain that the promise was still in Storm's End, like a rat, fleeing in panic. With that, Ai Lan walked outside.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"The source of the warm current pipe is located on the first floor and the top floor, and since the promise is hiding inside, it will not be so easy to catch him, but I have an easier way to make him unable to stay, you take a few people to prepare some firewood, and then take it to the first floor, the sooner the better. ”
......
The warm current channel was wide enough for a person, but it was not large enough to stand up, and could only move forward on its prostrates, as slow as an earthworm in order not to make a sound.
"Bear with me. ”
Mo Ling'er tried her best to keep her voice down, she didn't expect this method to be hidden for long, but it was still unexpected for her to be detected so quickly.
Mo Qiunian covered his mouth, there was a deep blood cut on his calf, there was no way to deal with the wound in this state, he could only hold on, even if the heating spirit array was wiped out, but the pipe was still extremely stuffy, the sweat was almost dry, and the more he climbed, the more dizzy he felt.
"We have to get out, or we won't be able to hold out first, and besides, they've already noticed it, and if we continue to hide, we'll be forced out sooner or later. The promise said bluntly.
Get out?
The promise is no longer hopeful, so many defenders, if they are really forced to hurry, it is not impossible to dig three feet into the ground, and they can't hide for a while.
"It's better to wait a little longer and wait until Xiao Shu comes back......"
Mo Qiunian has an inexplicable trust in Xiao Shu, he believes that as long as Xiao Shu comes back, he will definitely be able to save them, in his heart, there is no problem that Xiao Shu can't solve, and this time will not be an exception.
"He can't come back, I'm almost sure, his departure is definitely expected by the other party, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he can come back, yes, he is indeed very powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, can he still fight against 50,000 defenders alone?"
The promise has been calculated by people to appear psychological shadows, another betrayal, he really can't imagine that the last card in his hand has forced himself into a desperate situation, no, he should have thought of it, when Fang Ye betrayed, he should have expected such a day.
Mo Ling'er was silent, she had already been discovered, and there was no point in hiding any longer, she thought that if they couldn't find it, they would expand the search area, and when the time came, she might be able to find a chance to escape, but now it seems that she is really a little guarding the city army.
"Don't come out, hide for a while, I'll just go out, they're just looking for me, I'm sure they won't kill me directly after such a big effort." The promise squeezed out a smile very reluctantly.
"That spear just now doesn't seem to have lost its strength, you go out now, isn't Master Rook dying in vain?
Mo Qiunian grabbed his hair vigorously, he couldn't figure it out, why did he suddenly become like this, wasn't it okay before, the defenders turned against him inexplicably, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
"What else can we do now, every step we take is expected by the other party, it can be said that the other party is leading us along, at the mercy of others, there is no qualification to play, let alone room for resistance, I guess he even knows that we are hiding in the warm current pipe. ”
Promise's mouth was full of bitterness, his own little cleverness was really not enough, he was just a chess piece from the beginning, but he thought he was a chess player, and it turned out that the opponent only needed one step to force himself into a desperate situation.
"I admit that this person behind the scenes is indeed terrifying, we have always been an afterthought, but what about the others?what about these defenders?
......
"Yo, this isn't a promise, young master, don't you just come out early, why bother us to find it for a long time, don't blame us, your life is life, our life is life. ”
"What nonsense! Hurry up and take him to the Winter Palace, I'm tired of a day, I've untied the spell earlier, and I'm going to sleep in peace. ”
The boulder in Wang Wei's heart finally fell, they had just moved the firewood, and they heard the promise and were arrested, thinking about it, all the entrances and exits of this Wind Breath Fort were guarded, no matter how they could hide, they couldn't escape.
"Let me ask, why did you betray?"
The promise did not resist, his expression was unusually calm, and he allowed them to tie themselves up with chains, and the defenders in front of them were completely different from what they had seen before, not just gray patterns, something in their eyes disappeared.
"Young master, have you seen the patterns on our bodies? This is a spell, it doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, if we don't arrest you and take you to the Winter Palace before seven o'clock, we will all die, all because of Wang Ke, a traitor, we don't want to, if you want to blame him, blame him." Ai Lan said as she looked at Promise, and finally he saw a scar on Promise's calf, which was still bleeding.
"Alright, now that you've caught me, let's go, take me to the Winter Palace, I'll see who can do this." Promise smiled nonchalantly.
"Wait, if I'm not mistaken, young master, your friend should also be in the Storm's Rest Castle, why are you alone now?" Ai Lan still felt that something was wrong.
"You also said, it's just a friend, you want to arrest me with such fanfare, they have already run away, in the face of life and death, what is a friend, what do you say? haha. Promise said sneeringly.
"You're right, of course, we don't have to get along with your friends, for the sake of so many of our lives, we have to wronged you first, let's go. ”
Ai Lan ignored the taunt of the promise, he could basically confirm that the few friends who promised were still hiding in the warm current pipe, and he would definitely be able to catch it if he really wanted to catch it, but he didn't bother to care, what the other party wanted was just a promise, since the promise chose to sacrifice himself to protect them, he might as well fulfill him.
The promise was caught, and the remaining 40,000 defenders were all relieved, it was now more than two o'clock in the morning, and it was not very far from the Wind's Breath Fort to the Winter Palace, at most an hour's journey, and it would definitely be too late to set off now.
In the night, the remaining 40,000 defenders of the city escorted their young master to the Winter Palace, and they were in a hurry and fast, the life of the promise is life, and their life is also life, is the life of so many people not worth the life of a young master?
This is not a betrayal, this is just a very simple choice, as the leader of the city defense army, Fang Ye did not hesitate, and they are the same.
Outside the Winter Palace.
The puppet waited quietly against the stone pillar, he had enough patience and time to wait, while Wang Ke endured the chatter around him with a tired face, he couldn't imagine how these two people usually got along, one couldn't stop when he opened his mouth, and the other couldn't say a word for half a day.
"It's so cold, I'm going to freeze to death, I see you fail, you must have failed, don't you! Don't underestimate their loyalty, hey, or let's go back, I'm hungry, make something to eat before going to bed, or I won't be able to sleep......" The ghost babbled endlessly.
"I don't underestimate their loyalty, I just believe in the desire to survive, if it is on the battlefield, I don't doubt that they are willing to sacrifice, because the blood rushes, the brain is not clear, so what, I gave them a deadline, to create an atmosphere of waiting for death, and at the same time, every minute someone will die, maybe the next one is yourself, fear and helplessness will hold their hearts tightly, freeze their blood, as long as one person is shaken, there will be a second, failure? The puppet said calmly.
"If they don't catch the promise, you're going to induce the spell directly?" the ghost asked curiously.
"There's no need, as I said, the spiritual power of just 300 spirit mages is not enough to trigger the ash spell in the bodies of 50,000 people, do you really think that the promise is very important to me? I set up a spell and let them catch the promise to save their lives, to put it bluntly, it is just to pave the way for their defection, as for whether the promise can be caught or not, it doesn't matter, because once they cross this line, they will no longer be the defenders of the Nuo family, but just a puppet in my hands. The puppet said expressionlessly.
"I sometimes wonder why you can always say such terrible things with a calm face, and the same is true of your expression under this mask?"
"It's just tens of thousands of people, even if they all die, I don't know how many people die in every war, except for their families, who will remember the dead nobodies on the battlefield, you or me? Maybe you don't believe it, but I'm already doing my best to avoid needless sacrifices. The puppet suddenly turned around and gently grasped the ghost's wrist.
