Chapter 170 Chapter 160·"He's Dead"

[Fifth World, Day [-]]

Under the city wall, the army is ready to go.

The black human heads are like sea waves, and the armored weapons of different shapes glow with various colors in the early morning.

Everything was silent, leaving only the sound of wind and sand rubbing against the ground, which was completely different from the chaotic situation of the large bandit group before.

Everyone's faces were full of joy, and their eyes were brighter than before.

...It's all because of a glowing tattoo on their hands.

This was once the source of their longing, and also the hope they longed for.

In just one night, under a simple magic circle, everyone's wishes were fulfilled.

"—Our city is in danger."

Suddenly, a loud female voice resounded above the city wall, and the black ponytail swayed slightly in the yellow sand.

"—The puppet army and the monsters are all watching."

A girl in military uniform, holding a black knife, slowly approached on the city wall. When facing the dark crowd of soldiers below, her voice was steady, without any stage fright.

"The world is in crisis, and we have nowhere to go."

"Everything has reached the most critical moment.

The entire army was silent, only the girl's loud voice remained, like a drum beating before a battle.

"—However, we will not be afraid. We are no longer civilians who can't survive, and we are no longer robbers who only know how to flee. The blade in our hands has direction, and the hand holding the handle has strength—in our eyes, There is a flame."

"—We, we are no longer powerless, our bodies are no longer weak, our strength is traceable, we can fight for everything for ourselves..." She stretched out her hand, with the back of her hand facing up, and the tattoo on it gleamed Glowing:
"And all this."

She said, raising one hand high, as if raising a flag:
"—all will be within reach."

……

"Shhhhh-"

At this moment, countless weapons were raised high, pointing to the top, their sharpness was undisguised, as if they were about to pierce the sky.White light glides over the sharp corner like water, like another star on the ground.

Although the torrent of steel is different.

But at this moment, it surged like a sea tide.

The girl jumped down from the top of the city and stood in front of the ten thousand army. The light armor on her body shimmered, and the cloak behind her fluttered in the yellow sand.

"All soldiers, obey my orders!"

She raised the black knife with a high tone.

"--kill!"

……

"Cough cough cough..."

Inside the tent, a series of coughing sounded.

The curtain door was suddenly pulled open, and the travel-worn girl quickly entered, stretched out her hand, and held the hand of the person inside the tent.

"Why is your body as paper-like?" Shan and Shuang frowned, and the energy passed through little by little.

"I didn't expect to be so weak." Su Mingan wiped away the blood from his lips, staring at the bullet screen that flew across.

Now is the time when the whole army is just starting out.

Due to his sudden arrival and the sudden plan to send troops, the other legions did not gather in time. Shan Shuang, the second commander, only led a legion in Goka City, and rushed out in a hurry.

It was the afternoon of the eighth day, they had just left early in the morning, and now it was time to rest, so both of them set up a tent to let him, who seemed to be getting worse and worse, take a rest.

If there were no accidents, the Second Legion would be able to reach the main army station tomorrow, and then wait for the other legions to gather.

Su Mingan doesn't understand military affairs, and he doesn't know anything about how to fight a war. He just came here, and he doesn't know the current situation of the revolutionary army. Walking will take a break.

He let the revolutionary army set off in such a haste because he wanted to test the reaction of the main army.

He always felt that if he didn't hurry up and really waited until the tenth day, something unpredictable would happen.

The 49.448% chance of survival that has never risen has been hanging in his mind like a wake-up call.

Just when he decided to let the revolutionary army go, the chance of survival rose to 52%, which made him feel that his decision was not wrong.

In this world where the overall situation is unclear, the probability of survival is the best barometer for his repeated trials.

"Why do you keep coughing up blood... Is this how the puppet army treats you?"

Su Mingan suddenly heard single and double voices.

This heroic-looking female general was still frowning, it seemed that since Su Mingan saw her, she had always looked bitter and bitter.

"I heard that the puppet army is trying to harm you with the excuse of coming of age ceremony, but everyone has been brainwashed by that god religion, thinking that you are really going to ascend to immortality. If possible, I would rather It’s better not to send troops in such a hurry to launch a general offensive, but to keep you to help us improve our talents, accumulate strength, and annihilate that group of people in one fell swoop.” She said.

Su Mingan responded: "There is no time."

"What time?" Shan Shuang was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "It doesn't matter, we have already prepared for sacrificing for resources, and we have been living like this year after year. Personally, that's fine - it's all about peace in the end."

"I mean, me."

Su Mingan let go of his hand and breathed into his palm, but he felt his mouth was cold.

The curse of the blood-red pattern is still there, and he still deducts some blood from time to time, which has little effect.What really made him feel bad was this body that was cooling down a little bit.

He seemed to suddenly understand why Sheng Qi was in a hurry—maybe he admired him, and he shouldn't have survived the day of the coming-of-age ceremony.Even if the coming-of-age ceremony didn't kill him, he couldn't wait for the experiment to really end.

His body couldn't support it at all.

"..."

Shan Shuang seemed to be silent for a while.

She seemed to want to comfort something, but she opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

She didn't stop Su Mingan from letting blood like that yesterday and hurting his own body.

Because in her eyes, from her standpoint, she respects such a person so much only because of his achievements, not because she really loves him so much.Even after Qin Wang's identity was exposed, her favorability level had only risen to 60, which was just a level above friendliness.

She always has a balance in her heart, which can measure everything in front of her eyes, and reason is always greater than her sensibility.In her eyes, the revolutionary army is the heaviest weight, but in her eyes, Qinwang can only become a weight that adds to the weight of the revolutionary army.

If he lost blood, made him weak, could make the revolutionary army stronger, and could truly defeat the main army, she would definitely not stop it, and was even very happy.

——Individual sacrifice can be exchanged for the progress of all people, so this is a matter of course.

She cared so much about Su Ming'an now, but it was just a pity that she didn't want him to die, and wanted him to live and research more results.

For this reason, she didn't care at all about the words "player" and "npc" that Su Mingan said in the conference room before. She couldn't understand, and he didn't say anything, so she didn't ask.

As long as she can see that everyone is making progress in one direction, then all the details are irrelevant to her.

"That's right." Shan Shuang suddenly remembered something: "Where's the commander-in-chief?"

Su Mingan raised his head slightly.

"It seems that I heard Chen Yang say that he is going to destroy some monsters around here, but it has been a day and there is no movement... I sent him a message, but he didn't seem to reply..."

"He's dead." Su Ming'an said, "Sheng Qi killed him."

His words were direct, without any concealment.

This kind of loss of life is very common in the eyes of people in this world, and it is almost unable to stir up fluctuations.

Single eyes blinked slightly.

The crow-like eyelashes moved, like a pair of black butterflies trembling with flower tips.

"That's it." She said, her tone was very light: "... That's it."

Her eyes became a little dim, but she stood up soon, and her partner who fought with her died suddenly, but she didn't seem to be affected by the news at all.

Outside the tent, the army was about to set off again.

People in this world seem to have long been used to sacrifice and being sacrificed.

As long as everything is for the ultimate victory, in their eyes, everything can be abandoned.

Companions, relatives, lovers... Life has gradually become a quantified number. Everyone is struggling to survive for the [future]. Because resources are scarce and danger is imminent, even ignorant children understand that survival is a matter of life. Something that requires repeated struggles.

Some people may never come back once they go out.

Some parting, maybe a turn around, is a farewell.

Including Shan Shuang herself, she has already had such an awareness.

Chen Yang, he was just one step ahead.

She didn't seem to want to talk much, but she didn't shed tears anymore.When she turned her head and opened the curtain door, Su Mingan saw the hair rope dangling behind her head, as bright as a red butterfly.

...This is probably the only thing in her that is still a girlish thing.

Su Mingan got up slowly. He felt very cold, but it wasn't to the point where he couldn't move.

He sensed the movement of the shadow.

Before, he had been letting Ying move freely, killing monsters to supplement his experience.

Due to the sharing of experience, his experience bar is now very close to the second-order nine, and his career point has six points, so the error tolerance rate is very high.

As long as nothing goes wrong in the last six or seven days, it should be fine to go according to the original plan.

He opened the curtain and saw that the army had already set off. He belonged to a guard that was separated from the army. He had a special elite to protect him, and he didn't have to eat and live with soldiers who didn't have enough equipment.

But when he got out of the tent, he saw a figure with a butterfly on his shoulder standing under the shade of a tree next to him.

He saw Lu Shu early in the morning, and found that Lu Shu was in the team when Shan Shuang picked him up, but he didn't talk to Lu Shu all the way back to Goka City until the army set off.

Lu Shu couldn't see him, but he didn't want to communicate with Lu Shu for the time being.

Because he has been busy dealing with various NPCs and thinking about the overall situation, he really doesn't have the energy to persuade this guy who is going to blindly assassinate Edward from the fifth world, although he said before that he should have a good chat with Lu Shu, But at least not now.

He glanced at the figure waiting under the tree, then passed by and walked out.

……

【Lord God Space No. 23】

In the brightly lit room, the curtains completely cut off the outside world.

It looks like a shrewd man in his 30s, dressed in a high-end suit, but his posture is somewhat uninhibited. His legs are spread from the inside to the outside, and he is sitting boldly on the swivel armchair of the desk.

He didn't seem to notice the no-smoking sign on the wall at all, the cigarette butt was burning freely in his hand, and a little orange spark was like a gleam in his eyes.

Opposite him, sat a man in his forties, with a bald head, square face, square lines, and the temperament of a high-ranking official. Judging from the age of recovery, this man was at least seventy or eighty years old. next year.Obviously he can get some points to grow hair, but he still has a bald head, which may be due to habit.

But facing this man who was smoking a cigarette by himself, this high-ranking official looked sad.

"Still haven't checked it out yet?"

The man exhaled a puff of white smoke, and the silver stars on his shoulders shone brightly under the bright lights of the conference room.

"Although the World Forum has restored Zhai Xing's previous network system, and many basic websites can also be used, a lot of information is still lost." The bald man looked at the man in front of him who was smoking a cigarette and had a leisurely posture, and his slightly hunched body slightly Sit up straight:

"This has led to ... it is very difficult for us to find out the family background of some people, including those on the list."

"Heh." The man smiled, the cigarette on his mouth was still burning slowly.He took the cigarette out from his mouth, and with a puff of white smoke, he spit out clear words: "So there is no result?"

"Not really." Excitement flashed in the bald man's eyes: "Although we haven't been able to find those top players with deep backgrounds, we have made a big discovery."

"what?"

"Player One." The bald man said with a serious tone: "We have already figured out his background—including the identity of his parents."
