Marvel Nephalem

Chapter 62: Blessings never come in pairs, misfortunes never come alone (14)

"..."

Joey glanced at Clark Kent speechlessly, ignored his previous words, and suddenly said: "This world is really fantastic and weird. I still feel like I'm in a nightmare."

These words made Clark choke, and he could only let out a heavy sigh, losing even the interest in teasing this old rival.

Joey, who was swatting away mosquitoes, heard this heavy sigh and suddenly raised his head and asked: "Clark, what on earth did you experience after the avalanche?"

Clark didn't answer. After experiencing life and death together, he didn't feel like he was cheating on Joey, but he couldn't confess either.

"I can tell you're hiding a lot, Clark, and I hope this doesn't affect Annie's safety."

It seemed that Joey and the others were used to Clark's silence, and continued to mutter to themselves: "The reality is very bleak, extremely bleak, but I believe this is only temporary. Sometimes I think, if you hadn't appeared, we might all have become New York history. An insignificant part.”

"I don't know why that terrifying demon came out of your body, but the two warriors didn't tell the camp what they saw, and they obviously wanted to hide it, especially the barbarian named Tru. I can Seeing that he is very close to you, he might be the point that opens up the situation."

"Although the camp is very alienated from us, I think they have done a good job in this regard. Proper alienation and isolation are conducive to avoiding the occurrence of riots among the refugees, and it is more convenient for them to deploy manpower and strengthen management and control. Obviously, there are not only powerful A warrior leader, and a wise man with strong knowledge.”

"The possibility of a demon emerging from your body is no matter how big or small it is. This place looks like the Middle Ages, but there are many differences. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that they will send you to the stake like the European churches in the Middle Ages. This world is very strange. , I don’t know if there will be any proficiency in prophecy or the ability to detect the future and the past. If someone detects that there is a demon in your body, the reaction of the camp will cause great risks."

"So, Clark, don't make any risky attempts. As long as you are alive, Annie and we will have a chance to return to the past world. Waiting for the barbarian to come back and waiting for the opportunity to make an Arrancar is the safest attempt."

Clark listened carefully to Joey's analysis. After all, he had been in a high position for a long time and had been in the shopping mall all his life. Joey's ability to observe people's emotions was obviously unparalleled. And through the accumulation of years, those fragmentary knowledge had been transformed into great wisdom about life. He could Looking at the whole thing from an objective perspective is something ordinary people don’t have, which is what people often call the overall situation.

Clark knew that he did not have such a big-picture view. Even if he did, it would not be as big as Joey's. Sometimes it is always difficult to distinguish small cleverness from great wisdom before the critical moment, but when a crisis arises, each has its own merits. Who is superior? Low is not something that can be determined by immediate success or failure.

If the layout is too easy, the details will be neglected and the details will be restricted. If the layout is too small, it will be short-sighted and it will be difficult to have a long-term vision. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Short-sightedness is more practical, but long-term is more development. Clark sees this clearly.

I reflect on myself three times a day, and Clark himself must reflect on his actions every day. This is exactly what adults have to do when faced with many choices.

According to Clark, there is no harm in listening to other people's opinions, especially in areas where the other person is better at it.

Joey is gone. His figure is fat and rickety, and his back is a little desolate. When people live to this age, they already feel that they have more than enough to do, and they can only fight against the years, race against time, and fight against the body.

But Clark is okay. Although he has become older, he is still able to fight at the age of 50.

Clark raised his head and looked at the bonfire outside the wooden wall, the blood-red wasteland, and the forest where crows were whistling and circling under the bright moon. Until the moon set in the west forest, the dawn of dawn dispelled the darkness, and Clark, bathed in the warm sunshine, finally said what was in his heart. : "I'm still too weak."

Just as he was about to climb down from the sentry tower and go back to sleep, a strange noise in the forest suddenly caught his attention.

"Boom"

The subtle sound was almost impossible to detect in ordinary people's ears, but it was very clear in Clark's ears. He immediately stopped his movements, turned around and held the rope hanging under the alarm bell, and stopped to look at the forest, which was where the sound came from.

"Dongsususu"

The sound became clearer and clearer, which made Clark squint his eyes. After all, the scorching sun was rising, and the sound came from the east, until a dragged object jumped several meters high from the dense woods, and then fell to the ground, leaving a cloud of dust.

Only then did Clark recognize who it was.

It was the barbarian True and the paladin Lannister who rushed out of the woods with them. Several giant beasts that looked like orangutans and were 4 meters high sprang out of the forest. More than a hundred of them were enchanting, either holding spears or Female warriors holding shields and wielding axes, all wearing metal armor, followed closely behind, and the shouts of killing came immediately.

"cao"

Seeing this, Clark cursed angrily, then sounded the alarm and prepared to leave. Those female soldiers looked like they were not a good person, and he did not want to die on the front line.

But good things come like no other, and misfortunes never come singly. As Tohru took off again and roared into the wooden wall, a cloud of dust was trampled on the ground. Clark, who was climbing on the vine ladder of the sentry tower, suddenly heard a loud noise from outside the sentry tower. In his surprised eyes, a giant beast with wooden thorns blasting through its chest was breaking through the wall without hesitation, and crashed into the root of the sentry tower. Clark, who had no way to use the vine ladder, could only curse and break. The sentry towers fell towards the outside of the wall together.

Rumble

The dust raised by the collapse of the tower formed a natural fog outside the city walls.

Clark, covered in dust and embarrassed, emerged from the pile of broken wood. He looked at the female warrior holding a spear who suddenly sprang out of the mist. She didn't even need to look carefully. She directly subconsciously picked up a piece of broken wood with her feet and moved it with incomparable accuracy. Knocking the female warrior to the ground.

Then he stepped forward, grabbed the spear, and used his excellent hearing to throw it towards the footsteps.

Hearing only a shrill cry, the visitor fell silent, but Clark did not dare to stop at this time. He knocked out the female warrior under him with one punch and pulled her up to block her chest before retreating.

Sure enough, several flying axes shot through the air and pierced directly into the back of the female warrior. Due to the force on her back, the female warrior threw herself into Clark, coughed a few mouthfuls of black blood, and then died.

"Damn it, Annie and the others are behind..."

Suddenly, Clark stopped retreating. At this moment, he realized that if these female warriors rushed into the camp, the first people to suffer would be Annie and the other refugees living on the outside. There was no way to resist these female warriors who were obviously battle-hardened. He could only curse angrily and try to stop the attacker, waiting for reinforcements.
