Scrap iron

Words: "Tell me you're coming to beat us?"

Lucas glanced at him, acquiescing.

Xue Dan dragged him towards the narrow and heavy stone gate, and the gate closed behind the two of them with a bang: "Liuyuanyuan."

Lucas was shocked: "Is she still alive?"

Xue Dan shook his head: "Dead, old dead, she came to Beidao."

Lucas was a little puzzled.

Xue Dan said: "Are you wondering why she will reach Beidao before you?"

Xue Dan sneered: "She came here ten years ago."

Lucas reacted: "Divination?"

Xue Dan nodded, he connected to the iron in the distance, and moved quickly in the heavily guarded Liming City.

He quickly landed in front of a double-story door, turned the door open, and took off his shoes.

Lucas observed the small house and said, "This is where you have lived for decades?"

Xue Dan put away the shoes of the two of them, and dragged Lucas to the living room: "Yes." He suddenly turned his head to look at Lucas, and his mood seemed to get better, "But what should I say, although this method makes people I'm sick, but—"

Xue Dan cleared his throat, looked at the ceiling and said, "But since you're here, this place can finally be considered my home."

Lucas felt that his mood should be very low and frustrated, but he looked left and right at this well-lit, spacious and warmly furnished living room, and the negative emotions in his heart couldn't make any waves.

It turned out...not bad.

——A little tired recently——

69. Struggle

Lucas couldn't help but said to Xue Dan, who was washing the vegetables: "Why don't you untie us first, why don't you tie me up somewhere, but you have to tie it to yourself, heck...

Lucas couldn't help but said to Xue Dan who was washing the vegetables: "Why don't you untie the two of us first, and you can tie it to me somewhere, but you have to tie it to yourself. It's not troublesome."

Xue Dan fished out a handful of cabbage and filtered out the water in the iron basin: "No trouble." He put the washed cabbage aside, "I don't worry about tying you anywhere. I'm really afraid that you will attack me from inside and outside."

Lucas understood his mentality very well, but it was still a little difficult to accept: "Then we have to stay tied like this until the battle is decided?"

Xue Dan pulled Lucas to move towards the stove: "This is my plan."

Lucas was speechless for a while, and waited until Xue Dan had finished pouring oil into the pot before he said, "What if you lose?"

Xue Dan adjusted the fire: "Then I will run with you."

Lucas waited behind Xue Dan, stared at his shoulder for a long time, finally took a light breath, and let out a long sigh.

All right.It seems that he has to work hard to untie this thing by himself-Xue Tiexin seems to be unable to persuade him.

Lucas was led by Xue Dan to the left and right, and was forced to watch the whole process of Xue Dan's cooking.

How should I put it, he always felt that Xue Dan was showing off while cooking, as if he wanted to show off to Lucas.

Although neither of them knew how to cook 30 years ago, in order to improve his diet these years, Lucas has also settled down and honed his cooking skills for more than ten years.

Lucas looked at Xue Dan in shock.

When eating, Xue Dan moved the chairs opposite the two-person table to the same side, squeezing the one-person seats into two-person seats.

Then, he served the dishes, took out two pairs of chopsticks, and sat on the one on the right side of the double chair.

Lucas followed him and sat on the left side of the double chair, with his hand locked in handcuffs awkwardly placed on the right side of his body, and he turned his head to look at Xue Dan with a half-smile: "General Xue, how should I eat?"

Xue Dan shrugged: "What's the matter, come on, which dish do you want to eat?"

Lucas had goose bumps on his body, he didn't expect Xue Dan to be so calm——

During the three years when Xue Dan was ill, he was the one who took care of Xue Dan most of the time. This time it was the other way around, and Lucas felt very embarrassing.

Xue Dan picked up a piece of chicken, shaved off the bone with one hand in the bowl with difficulty, picked up another cabbage leaf, carefully added a little white rice, wrapped it around the chicken piece, and picked up the green piece with the parallel chopsticks. Small dumpling.

"Is this okay?" Xue Dan pretended to be stupid, "I was thinking that there is nothing you don't want to eat on this table, why are you still on a hunger strike?"

Lucas was speechless for a while, he wanted to say that Xue Dan's age was not in vain, he became more and more calm, on the contrary, he lived more and more, but he looked down at the little dumpling handed to his mouth, and still opened his mouth without saying a word included.

Just the right size.

A son honoring his father on Father's Day, Lucas thought.

Xue Dan looked at Lucas' expressionless face for a while, then suddenly turned his head and suppressed a smile.

Lucas swallowed the food in his mouth: "What are you laughing at? You can't move yourself to this point."

Xue Dan's shoulders trembled with laughter. He lifted his chopsticks to his head and waved them, pursed his lips, and took a mouthful of white rice for himself with trembling hands, and then went to make small dumplings for Lucas.

Lucas couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't choke anymore, eat after laughing."

Xue Dan couldn't stop laughing, Lucas couldn't stop it with a word, and the new dumpling was passed to Lucas's mouth again at the tip of his chopsticks, but this time it shook as if he had Parkinson's.

Lucas was afraid that it would fall, so he hurried over and took it into his mouth.

Where is it ridiculous?Lucas half-lyed on the back of the chair with his eyebrows stretched, tearing the tissue of the chicken with his teeth.

Xue Dan was still laughing, he went to pick up the cabbage, but he missed it and dropped it on the table.

After this battle, Xue Dan finally temporarily gave up the job of feeding Lucas, leaned back, covered his eyes with one arm, and laughed wantonly.

Lucas said with a smile: "General Xue was stabbed in the laughing hole? Do you need me to look at it for you?"

Unexpectedly, after Xue Dan heard this, his smile suddenly faded like a tide, and he stopped smiling suddenly, just as suddenly as when he started laughing.

Lucas said: "I just said-"

He was a little confused.

Xue Dan coughed twice: "It's okay, my abdominal muscles hurt from laughing." He began to make small fish dumplings for Lucas.

Although Lucas was still puzzled, he cooperated with Xue Dan very well, and the two quickly finished their dinner.

After eating, according to the usual practice more than [-] years ago, it is the dinner table for two people who are in a daze and chatting time.

At first, neither of them remembered this link, but after Xue Dan put down his chopsticks, the two of them leaned against the dining chair in a daze for no reason.

Then, Xue Dan said: "Why do I suddenly feel today that I have never experienced these thirty years, as if I am still in my 20s."

Lucas said: "That's because your age was frozen too early. If your current physical age is in your forties, you won't feel that way."

Upon hearing this, Xue Dan turned his head and looked at Lucas in bewilderment: "I don't think you look old, aren't you quite young?"

Lucas glanced at him: "The old man is in the details."

Xue Dan nodded, his eyes stopped on Lucas' side face, the vision in the room was gradually dimmed, the two of them did not turn on the lights, a kind of tranquility filled the seaside town.

Xue Dan said: "You were definitely a great beauty when you were young."

Lucas said: "It's true—you were in the Yaling Mountains before, and one morning you finally felt my beauty. Why are your eyes suddenly not blind today?"

Xue Dan smiled: "Isn't it a long time ago that I was used to watching it, and I was suddenly amazed, and I was a little caught off guard."

Lucas shrunk his neck: "Come on, my general, I haven't seen you for 30 years, with such a sweet mouth, which little guy did you hone it from?"

Xue Dan heard the words, digging around in his neck, Lucas didn't understand what Xue Dan was doing at first, and watched him dig quietly until Xue Dan fished out a clean The little cloth bear, with squinted eyes, said to him: "I practiced with this little guy."

My mother, Lucas thought, Xue Dan missed him.

Lucas then lowered his head, put the tip of his nose against Xue Dan's, and said softly, "You still have a little bear. For more than 30 years, I haven't even thought about it."

Xue Dan got excited and wanted to hug Lucas' leaning body, but he forgot that their hands were handcuffed together. With a crash, Lucas's arm was pulled backward by him, and he almost fell down.

Xue Dan quickly withdrew his left hand, supported Lucas who was in a mess with his free right hand, and opened his mouth: "I——I..." Before he could finish his sentence, he snorted and laughed again.

Lucas sat up straight depressed, looking at Xue Dan who was smiling again, he also wanted to laugh a little: "It's really hard for us to do this, can you extend the chain of handcuffs connecting us? I'm not a fairy, run away not drop."

Xue Dan immediately turned his face down, and said vigilantly: "No, I'd rather work harder than believe what you say."

Lucas seduced: "You and I haven't seen each other for more than 30 years, don't you want to go to bed and make out?"

Xue Dan looked at him.

Lucas continued to seduce: "How can we be intimate now that we are tied like this? I guess it will be difficult for me to sleep well."

Xue Dan said mysteriously: "You don't have to worry about this."

Lucas wondered.

Xue Dan said: "For this matter, I have already thought about the design in advance."

Lucas was even more confused: "Huh? Design what?"

Xue Dan said enthusiastically, "I'll wash the dishes first, and I'll take you to see them later."

Don't design that thing...Lucas is worried, isn't Xue Dan always quite normal?

While he was being dragged by Xue Dan to wash the dishes, the inventor Lucas had conceived many convenient designs in his mind, and sincerely hoped that Xue Dan would not come up with such a thing.

Xue Dan put away the last bowl and washed his hands: "Come on, let's go see your bed."

Lucas nodded heavily.

He followed Xue Dan out of the kitchen and dining room, across the hall, up the wooden spiral staircase to the second floor, and stopped in front of the master bedroom door.

Xue Dan pushed open the door of the master bedroom.

Lucas saw a double bed, and on the part of the bed away from the door, there were some handcuffs of strange materials and — strips?

Xue Dan pulled him over to introduce: "I thought before that you can't sleep well, if you tie your hands up, you won't be able to sleep at all, so I found this alloy soft material."

Xue Dan grabbed one of Lucas's wrists, put it on the handcuffs on the left side of the bed, then tightly wrapped around Lucas' other wrist, untied the handcuffs on his wrist, and led the handcuffs on his wrist. To the handcuffs over the bed.

Then, Xue Dan unfastened one of the handcuffs on the head of the bed, leaving only a chain around Lucas.

The two handcuffs on the head of the bed are connected by a soft alloy strip. Lucas found that this thing can be easily stretched and stretched, allowing him to swing his arms freely within a certain range.

However, once Lucas tried to bring the two wrists closer, it would solidify before reaching the distance where the handcuffs could be released, no matter how hard Lucas tried to break it.

Lucas was a little moved: "Then you can rest assured that I will be tied to the bed instead of you?"

Xue Dan shook his head: "Impossible, I'll lengthen the chain a bit, and tie up my hands and feet, so the safety factor will be higher, and it won't delay your sleep."

Lucas was speechless for a moment.

So much effort, what is it for?

Did Xue Dan overestimate his ability?

Lucas has every reason to believe that Xue Dan must have started a meeting ten years ago to popularize his appearance to all the people in Dawn City, reaching the goal of "everyone is a soldier" only for him.

In fact, if Lucas wants to escape, there is really a way.

This method, in order to prevent Zhou Yishang and Kajima from notifying the enemy, he spent ten years researching it with great difficulty.

But only if Lucas figured out a way to get his hands out of the handcuffs.

Lucas was desperate.

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

Xue Dan happily showed Lucas his elaborate design, then handcuffed Lucas back into the ordinary handcuffs, and moved him into the bathroom: "Look, I even sealed the pipes here, and I will bring them in from outside later. Hot water, pour it for you, and then I put a long chain here, and I will stand outside the door and connect with you inside."

"There is also a handcuff on the bathtub, so you have to wash it with one hand - I also control the length of the chain outside, anyway, don't try to put two hands close to pick the lock of the other hand."

"Also, don't look at this lock, which looks easy to pick." Xue Dan warned him, "I cut a little bit of my knife handle into the lock cylinder here, once you touch it, my connection will be broken immediately." can feel it."

Lucas nodded numbly.

He has reason to suspect that since Liu Yuanyuan told him the result of divination, Xue Dan has been studying how to strictly prevent his escape for ten years——

And give the handcuffed Lucas the most comfortable living environment within his ability.

Help……

70. Debate

When Lucas woke up the next day, he saw that Xue Dan had sat up and was staring at him in a daze with his upper body straight.

"Did you sleep well?" Xue Dan asked...

When Lucas woke up the next day, he saw that Xue Dan had sat up and was staring at him in a daze with his upper body straight.

"Did you sleep well?" Xue Dan asked him.

Not just ok.

Lucas had the best night's sleep in 28 years last night.

Lucas had slept well and was not feeling sleepy at the moment.He yawned lazily, squinted his eyes and said to the ceiling: "Very good."

Xue Dan seemed quite happy, grabbed Lucas's wrist, and wanted to change him into the daytime pair.

Lucas half-closed his eyelids, letting him fiddle with it.

Calculating the time, Iron Man should arrive at the South Island this afternoon.

He has calculated thousands of times, but he failed to calculate that Liu Yuanyuan would use divination to get him into the army.

Lucas looked at Xue Dan, who was fiddling with the handcuffs with his head down, through the slits of his eyes, and he couldn't feel any desire to escape.

Although these 28 years of practice have not given Lucas a clear result, he has gradually realized that Iron Man may not be the direction in which human beings should evolve in the future.

In 28 years, the old continent has no security issues, no moral decline, no selfish and unscrupulous iron men, the development speed is balanced, and the urban construction is very rapid. Logically speaking, it can be regarded as a very successful experimental case.

But Lucas began to doubt in his heart, are people of the same race who subverted their own culture still developing their original culture?

Xue Dan said with satisfaction: "It's done."

Lucas asked him, "Why did you move south with so many people?"

Xue Dan looked at him, as if trying to figure out his expression, and finally said: "Why else, to survive."

Lucas said: "If you knew that after being killed by the Iron Man, humans could be reborn as Iron Man by soaking in iron water, would you still take them southward?"

Xue Dan looked down at him, his black eyes showed no emotion: "Yes."

Lucas: "Why?"

Xue Dan licked the corners of his lips: "Because after the migration, I feel that I am living a very good life now, which is definitely better than staying in the old continent as an iron man. The only regret is—" he pouted, "I have to separate from you."

Lucas smiled: "Really."

Xue Dan suddenly asked a fatal question: "I said you, I know what you think, the reason why I didn't stop you on the roof is because I believe your choice must have its own reasons—"

He seemed to feel that what he said was too long-winded, and frowned: "But, why didn't you take the initiative to become an iron man?"

Xue Dan looked at Lucas, and added: "Instead, I would rather take the risk of complete death, drink the new virus, and bet to become a "god". "

He asked the central question that Lucas had been reluctant to confront.

Lucas knew he would rather risk everything than become Iron Man.

why?

Lucas was forced to start thinking painfully.

Xue Dan said: "Because you don't agree that Iron Man is equal to human beings from the bottom of your heart, your thoughts are the same as mine."

He may be right.

Lucas thought, although he couldn't figure it out now, whether Xue Dan really thought so, or was influenced by the psychology of wanting to persuade Lucas to surrender.

Xue Dan said flatteredly: "Maybe there is another reason."

Lucas watched him play tricks with a blank expression.

Xue Dan chuckled: "In your subconscious mind, you don't even think that human beings and iron men can love and mate."

Lucas had no answer.

Xue Dan stopped smiling: "Since you asked me about this matter, I will tell you what I think."

"I didn't think too much about it, but based on my only experience with Iron Man, I think there are two things about Iron Man that I find it hard to accept."

"The first point is that they have a strong will to exterminate human beings. This kind of will is not like wanting to evolve other people for the good of others, but more like an invading nation killing the invaded nation."

"The second point is that they only coincide with human memory. I had a fight with Constance the Iron Man, and it confronted me—

Barely can be regarded as a brother who has been friends for a month. He behaves completely different from the Constance I know. I don't think the two of them are the same person. "

"So, I didn't think about the direction of human development, I didn't think about order or technology, I simply regarded Iron Man as an aggressive nation."

Lucas could roughly guess Xue Dan's thoughts and feelings, but hearing him express it so clearly was still a bit emotional.

"You're right." Lucas said, "But during the years I've been with Iron Man, I can still feel their personality differences, and I can feel that they are very similar to humans before becoming Iron Man place."

"Song Yuguan is alive, Constance is alive, Sewag is alive, May Ang is alive, and Joey is alive." Lucas said, "It's all true."

Xue Dan seemed to be touched, and his black eyes clearly let out a little trance and thought.

"I once met Iron Man Joey—when I was hiding under Song Yuguan's subordinates." Lucas said, "It was the only Iron Man who could tell who I was at a glance, and it didn't expose my identity .”

"Although it didn't look very excited, and didn't even look at me twice, I don't know if it was afraid of causing trouble for me or something."

"Iron Man Song Yuguan is still the same as before. He is harder to tame than other iron men. The sense of faith in his heart is very weak, and he cannot cultivate a feeling of personal worship."

"But it will relegate itself, and willingly submit to the management of Iron Man Mayon."

"Iron Man Sevag is still easy to deceive—very persuasive, and he is still willing to consider the future of Iron Man in his heart. But it is hard to be excited, hard to be sad, and has only admiration for me."

Lucas analyzed Iron Man Mayon, Constance and Xue Dan again, and said, "Do you dare to say that they are just memory overlaps with the original human form?"

Xue Dan stopped talking, his expression was a little confused.

Lucas said: "I've seen a couple where an iron man and a human are combined."

"The wife didn't want to become an iron man, so her husband kept hiding her, and made sure that she would not become an iron man as she wished."

"When I went, she had already been discovered, and her husband asked me for instructions, begging me to speak so that her old wife could have the right not to become an iron man."

Xue Dan scratched his eyebrows.

Lucas said: "But my wife told me that once, during the Iron Tide in the Ero Sea, her husband only saved her, but not their child."

Xue Dan was a little annoyed: "If you beat Iron Man back, you don't have to think about these issues." He scratched his face, "I won't persuade you anymore, I'm not as familiar with Iron Man as you are, anyway, it's still the same problem, if you stand in Iron Man, why? I don’t want to become an iron man—if you think you’ve figured it out, I won’t interfere with any decisions you make.”

"But I'm definitely on the opposite side of Iron Man."

Lucas said: "I think your decision is right."

"But I have already taken the position of their leader..." Lucas said, "This is different from 28 years ago. I have no conscience."

Xue Dan shook his head: "Lucas, think about it again. Since you know your own weight, you should know that every decision you make may destroy a race, or give a race a new life."

"I understand." Lucas said.

The birdsong outside the window is very similar to the Kamo Empire 28 years ago, possessing the magical power of quiet air.

"Since that's the case..." Xue Dan said, "It's a showdown between us, so I'll continue to guard against you. Let's go, wash your face and brush your teeth first. I'll show you the seafood of our Liming Island for breakfast today." .”

Lucas said, "Okay."

Xue Dan can always sweep away all the serious atmosphere, and his mentality is not generally good.

It is very suitable for people who think too much like Lucas.

Xue Dan pulled Lucas up and urged him to change his clothes.

Lucas decided not to wear soft armor, only a coat, but was stopped by Xue Dan.

Xue Dan said that he has clarified the appearance of Lucas to all the users of Liming Island. Although he only said that he is another protagonist in Chen Po's novel "The Last Days and Love", he is still afraid that someone will know the identity of Lucas. to assassinate him.

In short, Xue Dan reminded Lucas to cherish life.

After putting on the soft armor, Lucas asked Xue Dan wondering what novel "The Last Days and Love" was about, and it was probably about them.

Xue Dan dragged Lucas to the sink: "Yes, I have a copy here, you can read it if you have nothing to do."

Lucas was shocked: "What do we two have to write about?"

Xue Dan helped Lucas squeeze the toothpaste, poured mouthwash, and asked Lucas to open his mouth: "Come on, let me brush it for you-of course we have a lot to write, I strongly recommend "The Last Days and Love" to you, you Take a good look at how painful it was for me to be played by you back then."

Lucas's mouth was full of toothpaste foam, and he had no time to refute Xue Dan.

Xue Dan stopped complaining, and focused on brushing Lucas's teeth with one hand: "It's so fucking exhausting."

Lucas squinted at him.

Xue Dan turned his elbows left and right, and finally felt that it was almost the same. He handed Lucas mouthwash and rinsed his toothbrush: "Did the Dawn Republic live like this 28 years ago?"

Lucas spit out the water in his mouth: "Yes."

Xue Dan sighed: "Look, look, I said how right the migration is. Does the iron man not need to brush his teeth?"

Lucas spit out a second mouthwash again: "Yes."

Xue Dan said: "Then your city construction is much simpler."

Lucas spit out the third mouthwash: "Yes."

Xue Dan was upset: "It's not confidential information, why is it jumping out word by word."

Lucas spat out the last sip of mouthwash: "Open your eyes and see, I'm rinsing my mouth here."

Xue Dan resentfully packed Lucas' toothbrush and began to brush his own teeth.

Lucas stared at Xue Dan boredly.

He guessed that the two of them might not have breakfast.

Sure enough, just as Xue Dan finished brushing his teeth and washing Lucas's face, he stood up suddenly: "Bronze sends a message Bronze sends a message."

Xue Dan touched his wrist nervously.

Lucas suddenly realized that the bracelet Xue Dan had been wearing was actually made of bronze.

Xue Dan didn't bother to wash his face, and listened quietly to the message for nearly a minute. He didn't know what message was sent, and finally turned to look at Lucas: "Let's go, your iron man has arrived in Beidao."

Okay, Lucas said, "Let's go."

The author says:

—The war will be easy—

71. First Battle

Iron Man is not a good fight.

Lucas was tied behind Xue Dan, and they were taken together to the huge protective stone wall above the cliff on the north side of Dawn Island.

The top of the stone wall...

Iron Man is not a good fight.

Lucas was tied behind Xue Dan, and they were taken together to the huge protective stone wall above the cliff on the north side of Dawn Island.

The top of the stone wall is very wide, and the construction is several times better than that of the original Kamo Empire. There are metal arrowheads in the stone holes——

None of them contained iron, and there was an elevating ditch every five meters on the south side of the city wall, which was filled with a whole bucket of corrosive liquid, and seven infected soldiers stood upright near each ditch point.

Xue Dan was talking to Chen Siqian: "Grandma Chen, is the corrosive liquid still the last batch?"

Chen Siqian is now close to 65 years old, she has some obvious wrinkles on her face, but her eyes are still clear, and her voice is very hoarse because of an experimental accident. After that, her words have gradually decreased, and the speed of invention has become increasingly increase.

Chen Siqian shook her head: "A new batch."

Xue Dan was visibly relieved, and he held Chen Siqian's loose hands gratefully: "The New World can live without me, but it can't live without you!"

Chen Siqian just smiled.

Lucas asked: "Did you create "The Last Days and Love"?"

Chen Siqian bent her eyes and looked at Lucas, she nodded.

Lucas said politely, "Thank you for your record."

Chen Siqian suddenly pulled Lucas's handcuffed hand, opened her mouth, and said with some difficulty against her throat that seemed to have been worn out by scissors: "The future of mankind is on you, stop the loss in time, stop the damage in time." damage."

Lucas looked down, lowering his eyelids.

Chen Siqian let go of his hand with a calm expression, as if Lucas's reaction was in her expectation.

This matter is not as simple as stopping the loss in time.

Chen Siqian didn't know Iron Man well.

Xue Dan's Adam's apple vibrated next to his chin: "Iron Man found that there was no one on North Island, so he came to Liming Island."

Lucas looked up.

Yes, the mighty iron men have spread all over the end of the sea. Looking from the high city wall, it seems that the sky is divided by the iron tide.

Xue Dan began to issue orders one after another, and the metal arrowhead had already aimed at the iron men in the first row from afar, and the arrowhead was covered with the corrosive liquid that Chen Siqian spent ten years making.

Lucas suddenly saw the Iron Man in the first row on the right.

His heart was shocked, and he stopped Xue Dan who was nervously preparing for the battle: "That's Joey."

Xue Dan stopped talking immediately.

He took a deep breath: "Joy was killed by Iron Man 38 years ago."

Lucas shook his head.

His unbelievable eyes followed the figure of Iron Man Joey.

Iron Man Joey's face was still familiar and kind, and there was no trace of hostility in his eyes. He swam closer, his eyes swept up the stone wall, and caught Lucas and Xue Dan effortlessly.

Lucas wanted to raise his hand to say hello, but forgot that his hands were still chained.

Iron Man Joey smiled slowly, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be undulated by stones.

In the morning sunlight, two drops of light that flickered on and off fell on Iron Joey's face.

Lucas's brain buzzed, replaying every time Joey smiled uncontrollably, and finally he realized that this was the first time Joey cried.

Lucas was dragged around by Xue Dan, surrounded by lively, tense and excited crowd.

Iron Joey said something to Lucas.

Lucas read his lips subconsciously: You two are together, good!

Lucas' vision was immediately blurred by the mist, and he kept opening his mouth, but he still didn't know what to say.

Is it shame, shame, worry, apology?

All Lucas knew was that he had never felt for a moment that nothing he did was worth as much as pure emotion.

Lucas didn't dare to look away, he swallowed, and said again in a hoarse voice: "Xue Dan, that's Joey."

Xue Dan didn't answer or turn his head, pretending he didn't hear.

Lucas raised his voice: "Xue Dan, that's Joey!"

Xue Dan turned around abruptly and grabbed Lucas by the collar. Only then did Lucas realize that Xue Dan's eyes were bloodshot.

Xue Dan's voice sounded like a wild animal warning: "I heard it, I'm not deaf."

Lucas suddenly thought of Joey watching.

So he hastily leaned forward and slapped Xue Dan perfunctorily on the lips.

Xue Dan was obviously stunned, he let go of Lucas's collar, his eyes were a little confused at first, and then enlightened.

Xue Dan's lips twitched slightly, but he still didn't look at Iron Man in the end.He supported his forehead wearily, turned the bronze bracelet and said: "The distance is close enough, let's shoot the arrow, remember to only shoot the neck."

Lucas' body shook violently following these words, and then his feet shook violently almost as if he was standing unsteadily, and Xue Dan held him up.

Lucas panted and asked Xue Dan: "Corrosive fluid..."

Xue Dan knew what he wanted to ask: "One arrow, one neck, no problem."

Lucas didn't have any thoughts of hiding or acting at the moment, he shook his head, his voice was as thin as a breeze: "A broken neck can't be saved."

Lukas grabbed Xue Dan's arm so hard that he trembled, his body collapsed due to violent emotional fluctuations, his stomach churned uncomfortably, and his mouth was full of sour taste.

Xue Dan said: "I didn't see it - don't look at it either."

Lucas didn't have the energy to care about whether Xue Dan felt the pain. He nodded, took a deep breath, and adjusted his state.

Thanks to Zhou Yishang and Kajima for coming, so that he doesn't have to bear the feelings for Iron Man alone, and then bear the simple label of traitor.

He's a traitor, but he's not just a traitor either.

Lucas didn't know how he spent the rest of the time. He didn't dare to watch the battlefield again, and he didn't have the face to make trouble for Xue Dan. He was dragged around by Xue Dan in a daze until night fell.

Even the darkness of night cannot stop the firing of arrows.

Lucas finally took a look at the battlefield.

It seems that the iron man once charged under the stone wall, so that for a while Xue Dan ordered the soldiers to pour corrosive liquid down their heads, so now there are strange-shaped broken iron pieces or liquids everywhere on the battlefield.

Lucas saw the iron man Song Yuguan—he didn't believe that Xue Dan didn't see it.

Xue Dan did see it. Not only did he see it, but he also picked up a metal bow and arrow with a stern face, aiming at Iron Man Song Yuguan with all his concentration.

Xue Dan's sweaty arm was right in front of Lucas, and every muscle was written with reason that made Lucas bow down.

Lucas smiled.

Fine……

Xue Dan's movements were severely restricted by the handcuffs. Seeing that Iron Man Song Yuguan was about to charge down the cliff again, Xue Dan had no choice but to temporarily put down the iron arrow and called Tang Xiaopu.

Xue Dan copied Lucas and Tang Xiaopu together.

Tang Xiaopu was a little nervous, after all, there was a "god" on his body.

Sometimes he looked at Xue Dan who climbed to the top of the northernmost wall of the stone wall and drew his bow upright, and sometimes he looked at Lucas who was expressionless, his whole body tensed.

Xue Dan and the Iron Man Song Yuguan dealt with each other for a long time, temporarily curbing the momentum of the Iron Man's charge.

Lucas said to Xue Dan's tall figure, "If Li Jiu was on the opposite side, what would you do?"

Tang Xiaopu was stunned: "If Li Jiu is on the opposite side, doesn't that mean he is dead?"

Lucas smiled: "I just want to ask you, what would you do if Li Jiu became an iron man and was in the opposite camp?"

Tang Xiaopu shrugged his shoulders, and stood on another leg as if he didn't care: "What else can I do, on the battlefield, you know you have to strip your emotions, right?"

Lucas said: "That's right." He said casually as if chattering, "But it should be uncomfortable to watch your lover be knocked out of his head with an arrow."

"I can't watch Xue Dan turn around—can you watch Li Jiu turn around?" Lucas raised an eyebrow at Tang Xiaopu.
