Main text Prologue Chapter 7 Dumb
Wu Dynasty
Another world.
In the shadows.
"Don't hesitate if you've decided, we don't have a second chance, and no one wants to die here, right?"
"The key is your intelligence! Will the guards really be reduced?"
"Trust me, I'm not going to joke with my life, I'll do it first tomorrow"
"Okay, in that case, Brother Ling Yu, we believe you, but we also want you to know that once your information is wrong, not only you, but all of us here will die!"
"It's useless to say more, tomorrow is the day that will decide our fate, whether we wait here for death, or regain our freedom depends on tomorrow."
"Good!"
The people responded in unison, and each ran to his own hole.
When I stepped out of the shadows, I saw that the people who had just conspired to talk were a bunch of teenagers, the oldest of whom was only in his early twenties.
And this is a prison under the rule of the Wu Dynasty, to be precise, a secret prison, and the people who are held here are not ordinary people.
Either a group of vicious madmen, or a group of demons who have been famous for a long time.
But more of them are children like Ling Yu, who are a group of "special groups".
Using the shadows between the caves to skillfully evade the patrolling guards, Ling Yu quickly walked back to the entrance of his cave, which was his "cell"
Touching the stone in his pocket, this seemingly inconspicuous pebble was the reason why they were able to pass through the cave entrance.
"This world is so big, there are countless capable people, each showing their magical powers, how can the Wu clan imagine? Do you think that you can be the king and hegemon by controlling more spiritual roots? After all, it is also whimsical, and the value of people is by no means so simple. ”
"I must not die here like this, I must live, no matter what, one day! I will kill back and take back everything that belongs to me!" Ling Yu shouted silently.
Holding the stone out of his pocket in his hand, he walked through the forbidden place at the entrance of the cave as if nothing had happened.
"Coming back?"
"How?"
"Do you want to do it tomorrow?"
As soon as Ling Yu returned to the cell, a fellow worker in the squad quickly gathered around and asked nonsense.
Ling Yu glanced at them indifferently, a group of fools, after all, a group of children who had never seen anything in the world, how could this kind of thing be said at the entrance of the cave, once accidentally heard by the guards patrolling outside, wouldn't everything be wasted?
But what can he do? He is no longer the same person he used to be, he is now like everyone else in this cell, trapped in prison, unable to help himself.
It's just that he is the oldest in this class of cells, and he is the strongest and can enter and exit the cave at will, so the others are led by him, but after all, he is only the king of children, and he is a group of children under his command, what else can he do?
It's ruthless, it causes dissatisfaction, and it's not good if it's a big thing, and after tomorrow, not only in this one cell, but also in the entire prison, how many people will survive, how can they care about such a small thing?
He didn't speak, but walked straight to a clearing in the depths of the cell, which happened to be covered by shadows, and coupled with the sparkling prohibition at the entrance of the cave, it was impossible to see clearly from the outside without looking carefully.
Seeing Ling Yu sitting cross-legged, a group of children also quickly sat around.
Except for the one lying on the ground in the deepest part.
Ling Yu looked around, then took a deep breath and lowered his voice and said, "It's decided, I will do it tomorrow evening, if I am injured, I will not save it, life and death will be fate, and the way to escape is to guess the fist." ”
"Guess the punch!" exclaimed a petite girl with short green hair next to her.
"It's good to guess the boxing, it's better to try to survive a few than everyone is finished, life and death depend on the sky, no one can complain about anyone!" Seeing the exclamation of the green-haired girl, a person next to her comforted.
"Isn't there a better way?" begged the girl.
"Okay, the time for today's "gathering" has ended, this is what we have set in the four aspects of east, west, north and south, and now it can't be changed, and this is already the best way, we don't have enough time to prepare, there are so many food reserves, there is only one opportunity, I don't know if I miss this time, I don't know if there is a life to wait for the next time. ”
Ling Yu's voice could be regarded as a conclusion.
Anyway, no matter whether he guesses the fist or something after escaping, he has to live, looking down at the "flag" tattooed on the back of his hand, Ling Yu made up his mind, he is not over yet, he still has luck, his family, everything he carries, needs to rely on him.
Survival is a top priority, and the flag on the back of your hand is where your hole cards are, as long as you don't die, there is still hope for everything.
"The specific process has been told to you many times before, tomorrow will be very chaotic if there is no accident, out of this hole, life and death are all safe and destiny, it all depends on our own creation, whether to die like this, or to fight hard to fight for a freedom, it depends on you, I hope everyone can live!"
"Dismiss now, rest early, maybe this is our last night."
After saying this, Ling Yu got up and walked to the deepest part of the cell, while quietly glancing at several people.
The few people who comprehended it first pretended to disperse in different directions, but in fact, they finally converged with Ling Yu in the deepest part, his eyes were a code, and everyone knew it.
Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.
This sentence is so true, people are creatures who can think independently, and everyone has different thoughts.
If everyone thinks the same way, then there will be no you, no me, and no him in this world.
It is precisely because everyone is independent and self-reliant that there are Zhang San, Li Si and Wang Er. Otherwise, everyone is the same person, and they will all be Zhang San or Li Si.
Even in such a down-and-out moment, when their lives are in danger, just in this small cell, there will be differences in each other's thoughts, and this forms a small group.
Although most people here don't look down on Ling Yu and think that they are a group of children who haven't grown up yet, there are always a few people who can really intersect.
Looking at the four people who came around, plus the one lying on the ground, these five people are their true friends in this prison.
Looking at everyone's gaze, his eyes softened slightly.
He bowed his head and said in a voice that only a few of them could hear, "Tomorrow when the operation begins, everyone else will go up, and we don't, we go down!"
"Down?!" the girl next to her wondered, yes, she was the green-haired girl just now.
"Yes, let's go down, tomorrow most people will rush to the upper floor as soon as possible, and the guards at the upper level must be the strictest, if everyone rushes to the top together, maybe a few fish will be able to escape in the end, but most of them may die!"
"Then you can't go down, how can there be a way out?" said a fat man next to him eagerly.
"I didn't propose this method, but him" Ling Yu said, Ling Yu pointed to the person lying motionless on the ground, and the others followed their fingers before they suddenly realized.
"At first, I didn't agree with this approach, but it wasn't until I heard something I heard during the meeting yesterday that I made up my mind to agree to it."
"What's the news" The fat man glanced at the entrance of the cave and saw that everyone was sitting in small groups in circles and discussing something, and no one noticed them.
"Tomorrow, although most of the powerful guards in the prison will leave, the Red Flame Sect will send a direct elder to come over in order to strengthen the guards here!"
"What!"
Everyone exclaimed! This sound attracted the people from the other groups to look over as well, and Ling Yu hurriedly reminded a few people, pretending that nothing had happened.
Fortunately, at this time, everyone is doing the same thing, after all, tomorrow is the day of the incident, and they will have to rest early to accumulate their physical strength, and now is the last opportunity to communicate, they are all scrambling to explain tomorrow's things, no one will care too much about Ling Yu and their side.
An exclamation attracted the attention of others, but soon returned to the discussion in their own group, and in such a depressing atmosphere, no one cared about what others were doing.
"Don't speak, I only heard it by chance, true and false, whether it's true or false, we can't afford to take this risk, the strength of the direct elders is not at all something that we children can face, if we run out with them directly, it is too risky"
"So we have to go down, tomorrow the people in the entire prison will move, not only we have people in the upper echelons, there is only one elder, he can only guard the most critical road, and he can't solve so many people for a while, besides, there are many talented people in the prison, don't underestimate them, maybe there will be some turnaround!"
"We are down, and the lower levels are full of demons and monsters who have been famous for a long time, if we can release them, our hope of going out will be one more point," Ling Yu said.
"But I've heard that they kill people without blinking, and some even eat newborn babies, isn't it too dangerous to go down there?"
"I can't care so much, now one more hope is one point, tomorrow everyone will act according to the original plan, look at my position, follow me, let's take advantage of the chaos to go down first, everyone else will go up, we will definitely no one pay attention to us down, and then look at the specific situation below, in short, we can't directly rush out as cannon fodder in the first wave, we will first stabilize and wait and see what happens. ”
"Okay, then it's decided," the crowd chimed in.
"In that case, let's all rest early," Ling Yu finished speaking, and was ready to lie down and rest as soon as possible to deal with tomorrow.
At this moment, the tallest of the two, who had been silent, said:
"Life and death are uncertain after tomorrow, the road ahead is treacherous, maybe tonight is the last time we get together, we meet in Pingshui, we can come together is also fate"
"Why don't you all write down your most important wish now, and if one of us really dies, I hope that the living person can help him realize this ideal."
The tall man's words pierced everyone's hearts, no matter how calm they were, they were just a bunch of teenage children after all, and now when they think of what is about to happen tomorrow, most of them are worried, but they all pretend to be calm and cover it up. I guess many people will be nervous and sleepless all night tonight.
Write down what you want to do most before the sleepless night, and if you survive, you will try to complete it, and if you die, you will take it as your last word, and hope that your living companion will be able to do it for you in the future.
It doesn't matter whether the wish is fulfilled or not, the important thing is to leave a thought at the high and low, as if you have walked in this world once, so as not to live this life in vain, even if you die, you hope that your wish can make your living companions think of you by chance.
"I'll come first," said the green-haired girl, "I hope to find my biological parents," the girl whispered sadly.
"And then the two of us," the tall man looked hopefully, as if recalling something. "The two of us hope to find our sister so that she can live safely, and if possible, we want to avenge our parents. ”
"I didn't expect you two to have a sister," the fat man was surprised.
The brothers gave the fat man a blank look and ignored him.
The fat man thought for a while and said, "Well, my wish is to live, yes, the most important thing is to live, nothing is more important than to live, and then eat a lot of delicious food, marry two wives, no, marry four! No, no, no, marry a lot of wives." ”
The fat man's innocent words teased several people, and their mouths were cracked.
The oppressive atmosphere has also dissipated a lot.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ling Yu, who had always been cold, couldn't help but have a trace of fluctuation on his face.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally slowly said two words from his mouth:
"Restoration"
...
Although everyone knows that Ling Yu's life experience should not be simple, after all, they have been together for so long, and everyone can feel his temperament that is obviously different from others.
It's only today that everyone finally realizes something.
The atmosphere that had just eased up became oppressive again because of these two heavy words.
There was a moment of silence.
The figure that had been lying in the shadows on the ground suddenly sat up, without speaking or making any unnecessary movements.
After quickly writing a few words on the ground with his fingers, he lay down again.
"Come and see what the dumb man wrote?" everyone was curious and took a closer look.
In the dim light shone four large characters.
... ... ...
"I want to go home"
