The Last Mecha

Chapter 147 Determination (Two in One)

"This is the third hearing of the War Council."

The old and deep voice came to his ears, Wu Gou raised his eyes, and in front of him was a ring-shaped high platform with layers upon layers of high arches protruding from the inside to the outside.

The dense crowd, countless eyes, and the crowd in black and white military uniforms sat in separate seats, with distinct colors.

"Affiliated to the Special Valkyrie Force, Commander of the Third Corps, Wu Gou. Before today, do you have any objections to the disobedience of the Ark Project issued by the committee?"

"No."

Wu Gou raised his head, and on the distant high platform, the old figure seemed to be in the sky, his eyelids full of creases fluttered down.

"So now, have you changed your previous views?"

"No."

His pitch-black eyes were like stagnant water without ripples, and the audience was in an uproar as soon as he said this.

"Silence!" the white-haired old man said loudly, and then his gray eyes sank, "Talk in the middle."

Wu Gou followed the guidance and came to the hut inside. The old man in front of him was slightly hunched, looking exhausted.

"I know that you are the most outstanding warrior in the world and the hope of the alliance. Countless people call you the savior." He said suddenly, his tone was not harsh, "Don't be carried away by your anger, the necessary sacrifice No one can change it. Today is the last chance. The front line is urgent. Our manpower and material resources are only enough to organize one or two continental-scale battles. If you don’t let go, the Ark Project has nothing to do with you. You will be disarmed from all public property, and no one will control your life."

"I don't care. For so many years, no one has ever cared about my life."

Wu Gou responded lightly, his voice a little hoarse.

"You!" The old man's eyes widened, and the fleeting anger was like a shooting star, which disappeared in an instant. He sighed, "Why don't you listen to it? Fighting, how can there be no death, how can there be no sacrifice of."

"Then sacrifice the things that should be sacrificed. Nearly [-]% of the transport planes don't know their purpose. I checked and found that they are full of gold, silver, antiques, and furniture. They are all quality of life that those moths can't put down. The evacuation list is random. The old man, the sick, the criminal, and anyone with connections can be taken away, except the honest ones." Wu Gou poked his eyes, which made the old man's heart beat violently, "I'm not opposed to trade-offs, but those things that should be sacrificed Without sacrifice, the innocent civilians on the entire continent are abandoned, I can't do it!"

Wu hooked his neck farewell, as if he no longer wanted to argue.

"Yes, I know, but right now—no, it has always been the case. The resources of the entire world are held in the hands of such and such people. If the combat committee does not give up some benefits, no one will support you."

"They want too much."

"Then write it down! Just wait until later to settle the case! Don't be in such a predicament and drive me crazy right now in the midst of the war!"

After the old man finished speaking, he was dressed roughly, and blood was welling up bit by bit along his chest and neck.

Wu Gou stared at him, and then spoke again after a while: "I have participated in countless wars, no matter what the nature is, every time I walk on a strange land, I look at the children who survived the ruins, their thin arms stretched into the ruins to find Food, looking at me with eyes full of terror. Every time, every time I feel like an executioner."

His icy eyes pierced the opponent's body, and from this moment on, the old man's aura of dominating the whole body finally disappeared.

"A man was sick, very sick, so he decided to cut off his nails to see if the problem was here. This is the essence of the Ark Project, and Mr. Huo knows what I mean." Wu Gou said, "The Ark Project In essence, it is nothing more than a disgusting retreat."

"The alliance needs to revive. At this time, everyone needs hope too." The old man's voice became hoarse.

"That's right, the 30 billion people in the name of the alliance also need it. In my eyes, you are the same as those people. You can do things that are unconscionable. I have more important things."

"You want to save people yourself?"

"how?"

"You can't save it."

"It's like you can't save all your property."

"The committee, and others, they will not allow you to do this, you will be court-martialed!"

"They don't have the guts."

After Wu Gou finished speaking, he turned around and opened the door, and raised his head to meet countless knife-like gazes.

"Shenwu, take it away, I will withdraw from the alliance with immediate effect."

"Hidden in the corner, pitifully trying to survive!"

Pictures and memories flashed through Wu Gou's mind like Jiang Hai, and when he opened his eyes, the night was already dark.

The memory just now was something someone wanted me to see.

Who is it? In this 15-year-old body, besides myself, there is only one person left.

That young soul once again expressed his thoughts to Wu Gou, young, romantic, brave, upright and unscrupulous.At the same time, lack of consideration.

Wu Gou took a deep breath, and the conversation between him and Nan Zhiyun came to an abrupt end after dinner.

After revealing some thoughts, the girl suddenly stopped talking.She seemed to realize that it would be useless to confide in a boy of her own age.

At this moment, Wu Gou had just regained his mind from nourishing qi. He grabbed the qi detector at hand, and after using up half a five-element pill again, the value on it had reached 8.81.

His goal of 10 is getting closer and closer.

He turned his head, only to find that the girl was sitting by the window with her knees hugged, staring out blankly, her long brown hair shaking.

Crystal tears rolled down her cheeks and landed on Yuehua's flowing instep.

She seemed to feel something, then she turned her head and saw Wu Gou who was watching her behind her, and immediately wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow, it's agreed."

Wu Gou pursed his lips, he paused for a long time, and then said: "Are you going out of the city?"

"No, I still have things to do in Jiang Song, so don't worry about me."

"Are you trying to save someone?" Wu Gou asked.

He couldn't think of any other reason for this girl, which could make her unwilling to leave this dangerous city until now.

"."

Nan Zhiyun's silence proved that Wu Gou's guess was correct.

"Is it your relative? Or a friend?" Wu Gou asked further.

"My brother, he covered me and let me escape, but himself."

"Do you know who is looking for you?"

"I don't know that there are people from your country and foreigners."

"If you understand, Jiang Song is still under the control of the Municipal Council headed by Governor Zhang Li. The ability to make such a big disturbance like this is absolutely extraordinary, and there may even be one or more countries behind it."

"What do you want to say?"

"If you go back, not only will you not be able to save your brother, but you will also throw yourself into a trap."

"It's better to throw yourself into the trap and throw yourself into the Internet cafe than to do nothing."

"But he worked so hard, even at the expense of himself, just to hope that you can survive. I think you can run all the way from Annan to Jiangsonglai. During such a long time and distance, you may not be the only one who pays for you. Come on, they all want you to live—”

"Hope?!" Nan Zhiyun turned his head abruptly, his amber eyes were rounded, and his brown hair was scattered along his shoulders, like a cat with a blown hair, "They hope, they hope, they hope...it will always be like this If others want me to help, I have to keep donating blood; if others want me to escape, I have to leave Annan; if others want me to live, I have to keep my head down and be a tortoise.”

"When can I be a human being for myself?"

Even though she was agitated, she still carefully suppressed her voice, her thin shoulders trembling in the white shirt that looked broad in comparison.

Then her body relaxed, and there was no movement for a long time.

She also knew in her heart that not everything could have an answer.

In an unspeakable silence, Wu Gou could only silently hand over a clean handkerchief.

"Thank you."

Nan Zhiyun took it and wiped it all over his face.

"You can't imagine your life as a caged bird, just like I can't imagine a family as happy as yours." She said suddenly, her voice was as soft as a feather. Outside of the house, people around me were so nice to me. You know what? So nice that I felt like the world revolved around me, until I was 12 years old."

"I remember very clearly that the sun was very bright that day, and it was even a little hot. They took me to a room, which was full of white and medicine smells, strange machines made bursts of sound, and beautiful electric currents jumped. I can't understand the text, it's like a loach."

"They told me that it was a routine inspection, and then they wrapped wires around my hands and feet. The current flowed into the bone marrow, which felt like an ant was biting me, and they took blood. Then that day, everyone was very happy, Only I don't know what happened."

"Later, they hired a Qi-refining teacher to tell me to control my blood. They also said that I was sick and needed to draw blood for treatment. At first, it was once a month, then half a month, and then every week."

"My physique is not much better than that of ordinary people. Later, my eyes became dizzy, and I couldn't see what was in front of me when I sat up in bed in the morning. I cried and said that I don't want to be treated, but everyone changed at that time, little Children, you will be obedient if you are forced or scared, and from then on, they will treat me well only when I cooperate obediently."

"Gradually I got used to it. No matter how nice people are to me, they give me delicious food, talk to me, and make me happy. In the end, they all want my blood. Once, a foreigner came and Bai Skin, blue eyes, Annan dialect is quite standard, he stuck a red ball in his nose, and brought a lot of gifts, but I was in a bad mood that day, so I just stretched my arms and said, "Let's not go through the process", He was stunned for a long time."

Nan Zhiyun laughed out loud as he said that, Wu Gou who was not far away listened and twitched the corners of his mouth, but couldn't smile along with him.

"Among them, only two people smiled at me, not because they wanted to get anything from me." The girl continued, "One is my brother, and the other is an old general who retired to the second line. My parents were like friends, they used to take me out to play when I was little."

"Since my blood has value, the people around me have been very strict. They can't see the outside very much. They secretly brought me food and books, told me stories, taught me to read and write, those books Many of them have been handed down from your country of Xia."

"At that time, I thought, if I have a chance someday, I also want to see what that huge country looks like. I want to see the Daughter Country and Flame Mountain that Tang Seng walked through, even though I know that it is all fake. Just It's a pity, I didn't expect it to come like this in the end."

"There was no sign of it coming that day. I thought it was a routine physical examination, and I was completely used to it. It's just that the machine that day was different from before. It was a black-blue iron cover that was buckled on my head, and the sound was scary."

"I felt something roaring in my body, as if I was a lion in a cage, and the teeth and claws in the front were trying desperately to tear my body apart and get out. Then, the machine stopped listening. The whole body twisted up and danced like iron arms in mid-air, and several people were injured."

"After the experiment was over, those people were very excited. They kept muttering, and hurriedly sent me back to the room and put on several big locks. I didn't care about it myself, thinking that there could be worse results."

"As a result, that night, the door of the room was pried open by the old general. Together with my brother, he pulled my arm and asked me to leave quickly, saying that someone wanted my life and must not be caught."

"Then my brother and I sneaked into the carriage. There were dozens of people guarding us, all of whom were former subordinates of the general. We were born and died together, but we were still discovered. There was no moon that day, and it was very dark outside. It was so bright, the torches like the mountains and the sea reflected the sky red, the blood spread like a lake, the sound of knives and guns, the sound of horseshoes, screams, and foreign languages ​​I couldn't understand"

"I huddled in the carriage and didn't know anything. Then we rushed out. However, we were the only ones who rushed out. From then on, my brother is the only one who has truly treated me well in the world."

As Nan Zhiyun spoke, she sighed softly, the moon outlined her thin back, and she fell on the floor in a hazy way.

The figure that was as pale as smoke was reflected in Wu Gou's eyes. He listened quietly for a long time, and in those eyes, there seemed to be hoar frost sprinkled on the thick blackness.

"You want to save your brother, do you have a plan?" He asked abruptly.

"." The girl was silent.

"If you want to save it, save it, don't die. One, find a way to find out where he is and who is controlling him. The second one, how to save him, is to sneak in quietly, or find a way to pinch the other party's weakness and make a deal .Third, the paths out of the city, waterways and dry roads are all ready, plan a few more, and release some smoke."

His increasingly slender fingers were brushing on the floor self-consciously, forming black and white overlapping shadows in the corner of his vision.

"Don't rush to leave, you don't know where to go, do you?"

The young man spoke every word very seriously, his delicate face was a piece of clean white, reflected in the girl's eyes.

"Within my ability, I will help you."

Wu Gou's eyes were iron-like. On the one hand, he had finally made up his mind.

On the other hand, he was the one who heard from the girl's words that there was more to this girl than just glazed blood.
