Doomsday city

"Hey! You are walking so fast!" Frieda's voice and the cold light of the flashlight appeared at the same time.

Ingrid lifted Esther from the ground, and wiped away the remaining tears on her face with her sleeves. Those red eyes would only make people think that she was not getting enough sleep. No one would know that she had just heard Ingrid's shocking words. Life experience, and her acquiescence to Ingrid's crazy behavior towards her.

"Help me, there is a patient here who needs assistance." Charlotte said while helping Vinoa approach.

All of a sudden, Essers didn't know how to describe the surprise in her heart. Vinoya was like a seriously injured patient in a war movie. She had to rely on the support of her comrades to continue walking. Wrong, the doctor who always pursed his lips into a line, and occasionally gently encouraged her in her ear, is now so weak that he can't even lift his head.

Being dragged around like a Muppet.

"She's running a fever, but I'm not sure if it's caused by a cold or something else," Charlotte shrugged. "She's a doctor herself, and she's relying on vitamin supplements every day? It's a mess."

Essers approached Vinoa worriedly, and tucked the broken hair from her cheeks behind her ears. Her body was so hot that she could even imagine Vinoa sitting at the desk with his back and sorting out the materials, while no one was there. From time to time, he would rest tiredly on the desk full of books.

Charlotte frowned, supported Vinoa's shoulders and said, "Can a volunteer carry her? Our captain is almost out of strength to walk, God, I'm about to be crushed to death."

"Okay, okay," Frieda looked helpless, and squatted on Vinoa's back, "Just now I said I wanted to help, but you said 'Get away! Frieda', so I left. I should have known Seeing that you have no strength, you shouldn't have been so fierce to me just now, maybe you apologize to me, and I will consider forgiving your recklessness."

"Yeah, I should have complimented you on your skill when you tossed your shotgun like a toy stick. Damn it! Get the hell out of here, Frieda," Charlotte growled with a headache.

Mabel is holding a flashlight and carrying a mountaineering bag on her back. Even if she loses her distinguished status, she exudes calmness and charm no matter where she is. People are fascinated.

"Everyone, save your batteries." She extinguished the flashlight, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness for an instant, only her voice echoed softly like a poem: "Merodad once said: The dawn will lead us. I think she is right, draw The dawn of the night is always exciting, isn't it?"

The dark and deep military underground tunnel is like a quiet dream, and at the far other end, the glimmer of light brings them hope.A bright smile appeared on Benny's dirty face, which contained the pain of losing his teammates and the joy of rebirth. He waved his hands excitedly, and staggered away with his back bag pulled.

"We'd better hurry up," Frieda whistled, "Captain's not in a good place, I mean, she's like a ball of fire, and she might actually catch fire if it keeps going like this." Lighthearted joke It made Essers feel more and more heavy, she knew that Vinoa was completely exhausted this time.

"Esther?" Ingrid called softly.

"Hey, baby," Red Scorpion approached from behind with a cigarette in his mouth, and Ingrid grabbed his neck with one hand in a blink of an eye, "Calm down! You're overreacting! My God, are you guys all so bad-tempered?"

"If you shout like that again, I will cut your throat." Ingrid said coldly.

"Sorry, okay? Calm down," Red Scorpion raised his hands up as if to surrender, "I have something to say to Essex, can you give us a little space? You know, conversation between women," she paused , adding: "Interactions between ordinary women."

Ingrid blocked the red scorpion from approaching with a cold face, like a dedicated knight.

"What do you want to say?" Esther looked at Red Scorpion vigilantly, and the white flashlight in her hand reflected the red hair even more glamorously, "We don't have much time." She pointed to the distance, Benny and Mabel were almost Get out of the tunnel quickly.

Red Scorpion threw away the cigarette in his hand, and skillfully extinguished it with the tip of his shoe, "Please?"

Ingrid turned her head to look at Essers, and was silent for two seconds before taking the backpack from Red Scorpion and walking away slowly.

"Your beagle is really dangerous, you should seal her mouth with a mask so that she doesn't bite people," Red Scorpion exhaled, grabbing the messy short hair, "Hey, don't go so fast, we need to be alone talk, remember?"

Esther took a deep breath and stopped.

"Look, I did do some... er, cruel things to you before, I mean took a gun and smashed your hands and feet, and took you with a trap, yes, I did that, but I have difficulties," Red Scorpion walked around to Esses, wiped his face anxiously, "Okay! To be honest with you, I need your help."

"What?" Esther didn't quite understand.

"I know it's shameless to say this, but I need your help," Red Scorpion clenched his fists and said, "The damn mission is all a fucking lie, I escaped, yes, it's exactly what you think, like A lost dog escaped in embarrassment!"

escape?Esther thought silently.

"As much as I want to keep you from going to Jason Lehman, that damn old man, I have to take Christine before I leave, my daughter, you know, my 15-year-old out-of-wedlock child, I pity Christine is tied to Jason Lehman like a bargaining chip!" Red Scorpion lowered her voice in a panic, and checked to see if anyone was nearby.

"We should turn around." Esses clenched her fists angrily, and she glared at Red Scorpion, ready to expose the lie.

"No! Wait!" Red Scorpion excitedly grabbed Esther's arm, pressed her against the wall, and said, "If you tell the truth now, it will be bad for you...no, it will be bad for everyone," She lowered her head and leaned against Esses's ear, and whispered: "Your captain is in poor condition. Her face is as pale as death, but her body is as hot as boiling water. At this juncture, you still want to 'wander' around. Don't forget there are a lot of hungry monsters on the other side of the tunnel."

Indeed, those monsters have been hungry all winter.

"You disgusting liar!" Esther said viciously.

"Whatever you think, I don't care, but I need your help, or you can interpret it as cooperation with each other," Red Scorpion pursed his lips, and said, "Listen, Jason Lehman had done it before the outbreak Well prepared, his group of old friends from the research institute warned him long ago, so he improved the holiday villa into a steel fortress, with double-layered barbed wire within a radius of twelve meters, just like a prison fence."

"He hired a special force like a lunatic. I won't say how powerful those guys are. At most, they are muscular monkeys who can use guns, but!" She narrowed her eyes and said, "Lehman took the most All the valuable belongings were moved into the villa, and I kept those things to death. I signed a contract with him on favorable terms and was responsible for protecting his life and property, but everything changed after the outbreak,”

"Who cares about buying a small island or a limited edition sports car at the end of the world? Everyone, including the villa servants, all want to leave, at least hope to see their family or loved ones one last time before they die, but Lehman blasts those 'traitors' with bullets 'He is old, but his steward, Harris, is not old."

"He doesn't allow anyone to leave his post without permission. As long as he has a thought, he will let the butler Harris deal with the disordered part, such as killing people—but that's only for servants without force, for us—he will use threats way, like my poor Christine was held hostage and I had no choice."

"What do you want?" Esses frowned, she was sure that Red Scorpion didn't tell the 'details' to others.

"I have only one purpose - to rescue Christine," Red Scorpion let go of Esses, and took a half step back, "Your friends will get food and safety, and your captain can also recover from his illness with peace of mind. It is you who must cooperate with me."

Vinoah York, Esther repeated the name of the doctor in her heart.

Red Scorpion knew that Essex had compromised. She had no reason to accuse her of lying or refusing to cooperate. There are only traps left.

"I know Jason Lehman's weakness, and I can help you leave safely," Red Scorpion reached out to Esses, as if to reach an agreement with her, "Of course, you can also refuse to cooperate, if you can disregard the life and death of your companions , or, let me have it all, and make it easier for everyone, what do you say, Esther Eli?"

The decision is in her hands.

Esther bit her lower lip and looked at Red Scorpion hesitantly, her slightly curved eyes were illuminated by the faint light.

Maybe Red Scorpion is right, but it could be another lie, who knows?

"Hey! Is someone lost? We're leaving if we don't catch up!" Far away, Frieda's energetic shout came from the entrance of the cave.

Essers stepped forward to hold Red Scorpion's hand, and said, "I hope you can keep your promise."
