Chapter 21 "Twenty"

"Look, I told you, he really can smirk!"

what?
"You still say I lied to you!"

As if he had been greatly wronged, Moral suddenly ran up to me and said to Nalia.

"Moral!"

"What are you talking about!"

"Did you say yourself that you would suddenly be in a daze and then start giggling?"

"I told Miss Nalia, but she still doesn't believe it..."

This...why did you suddenly bring up this topic?

"Didn't you run in every time when I was thinking of something happy?"

The reason is... because of Nalia?
Moral probably had a lot of affection for the chick.

There should be no subjective intention to target me.

But because there happened to be two male primate intelligent creatures of the same species as Nalia at the same time.

But he may subconsciously feel that he is not as good as me?

So this is actually a reasonable xenophobia in front of the opposite sex, right?
"Don't look at me like that, I swear I didn't provoke the relationship between you."

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Nalia.

The latter spread his hands towards me, as if he had misunderstood me, and smiled helplessly at me.

"Ah."

"...Isn't it, Lin Man!"

"You say it yourself."

Um, did he just say something...

I don't want to continue entangled with him on this topic, there are still many things to do next!
Speaking of the fastest way to end this topic now...

"hiss!"

"No, my stomach still hurts!"

Of course he was pretending to be sick!

At this time, just slowly lower your head and cover your wound.

Take the opportunity to take a deep breath and push it out.

Of course, you can't let this breath come out, you have to hold it back.

The harder you squeeze and hold your breath, the faster your face will turn red.

"Ho, ho, ho!"

I feel that my face is almost like that, and I can breathe normally.

The oppressive feeling of holding my breath will force me to gasp like a real pain recurrence.

"Lin Man!"

"Are you OK!"

At this time, of course, he had to say that he was fine, and then stared at Moral with ruthless eyes.

In this way, he will 100% feel that the person in front of him is trying to be brave, so he will not consider other things.

Then I thought that I was arguing with me just now, deliberately making me angry.

Thinking of all the good things I did to him before, that twisted sense of guilt would soon engulf him.

"Come on, come on, lie down first, don't move around."

As for Nalia, it doesn't matter whether she can be fooled or not.

It's enough for Moral to fall into the trap.

"It's okay, ah, hiss!"

Although it is a villain's behavior to attack from a guilty mind, it is also the best way to make Moral listen to me obediently.

"It's okay, so we..."

"Fuck!"

"What's on the ground!"

Just when I lay down again and looked towards the far side of the stairs, a dead body appeared on the ground that seemed to be too stiff.

The corpse is dressed in the uniform of the imperial army, so it looks like it should be a local garrison, right?

The rank facing me should be half pressed into the stones on the ground, but it looks like a junior non-commissioned officer or something.

"This... is Nalia's masterpiece."

"It should be the imperial army who came in to investigate, right?"

"He ran down suddenly, and I killed him without thinking too much."

Nalia spread her hands again, shook the rifle that had been carried behind her back at some point, and said helplessly.

"We have nothing to do, we can't let him kill us in turn, can we?"

This is not good!
"If you killed him, what would he think if he couldn't go back to the army he belonged to?"

If the soldier who was investigating the situation suddenly disappeared, then as his chief, of course he would have to see the person, and the dead body.

The disappearance of his subordinates means that there may be potentially dangerous situations in the area he is investigating.

He needs to investigate exactly what caused the disappearance of his subordinates.

Did you meet an enemy?Or suffered a house collapse?Or have you become a deserter?

"Then they have to come in again to find this person?"

But if you think about it carefully, there is really no other way.

If Nalia hadn't put him down decisively at that time, whether I would be able to open my eyes today is another matter.

"I... sorry, I just subconsciously, I didn't think so much..."

So you will apologize too?
"Yes, Lin Man, we have no other choice!"

Moral seemed to understand the problem, but he still scratched his head and looked at me and said sheepishly.

"That's okay, you're doing the right thing!"

At this time, of course, we still have to think from their standpoint. After all, things have already happened. As long as they can realize that there may be other dangers behind this problem, they will develop the habit of thinking next time.

My purpose has also been achieved.

There is no need to make everyone unhappy.

"How long has it been since you put him down?"

Judging whether there is danger depends on whether his commander realizes that he has not returned to the team and is missing.

It doesn't mean anything to disappear for a short time when performing tasks.

"Today is the third day, and the day after the bombing ended, he ran down."

"Is there anyone still searching in the city?"

"According to my observation, there were still unknown team members active last night."

"How about today?"

"Today, at least before I came back just now, I didn't see it..."

Nalia's voice finally quieted down slowly, and she should have thought of what this meant.

If there are still people active until she comes back, it means we are still safe.

Those who have not returned to the team may still be performing tasks, but if everyone has returned to the team, the commander will start to consider whether anyone is in danger.

Patience will be greatly destroyed.

How would you feel if all your men returned and only one or two disappeared?
Then of course no one should be sent to see what's going on?
"Looks like we have to go!"

"Moral, pack your things quickly, you only need to eat, drink and that medicine!"

"Nalia, you..."

Although it is best for me to get Nalia's help in my current state, I still have to give her the right to choose.

Are you with us?
Or run alone?

Betrayed by her comrades, she escaped with us and smuggled, and she has already shot an imperial soldier, it should be unlikely that she will take the initiative to inform.

Of course she...

"As you wish."

Bright eyes moved slightly, and she didn't know what she was actually thinking, but...

"Wise choice."

"Now you are responsible for protecting us, right? This is also your profession."

"Of course..."

"Do you two really need to be protected by a woman?"

"Yes, Lin Man?"

"What's wrong, I think Nalia can put us both down by herself, and then cut each of us into thin dumplings."

"Is that what you call a girl?"

Sister, you are the Marine Corps!

The real marines!
"Okay, okay, just say yes or no?"

"Is it that simple for me to do?"

"Of course, I think too much!"

"Since you have nothing to say, help Moraldo bring something, or help me carry this pocket."

"Do you want to put something in there?"

Nalia lifted up my fanny pack that was on the ground, and it looked a lot deflated.

It seems that the things inside have been consumed by the two of them during this time, right?

Oh yes, gold bars...

Fortunately, it's still in my pocket!

But now there is nothing to stuff in it, so let's stuff some left-handed Yilimin, right?

Even if this thing is not useful, it would be great to find a way to cash it out.

"Sai, put all those medicines in."

Although I feel that there should be no serious problems in the limbs, the injury in the abdomen is still in a very unclear state...

Judging from the blood on the clothes, although it is not the kind of bleeding from an open wound, it is beyond the scope of ordinary trauma.

I don't know if there is any damage to the internal organs... I can only take a step to see?

"Okay, Moral, can you help me?"

"Hey, you, good!"

"Will this hurt?"

Seeing me trying to get off the bed, Moral ran over immediately and supported me who didn't know how to use force.

"It's okay, I feel much better."

I don't know if it's because I know he feels guilty, or because I have a deep relationship with me, anyway, I really feel at ease when I hold him.

There should be no problem walking like this, and the pain in the abdomen is still within the tolerable range.

I feel weak on my feet, which may also be the reason for lying down for a long time. Walking a few more steps should be much better.

If it doesn't work, just get the needle, how can I care so much!
"Are you OK?"

Nalia also looked at me with a little worry, and obviously maintained a rather skeptical attitude towards whether I could go out.

"It's okay, you can help us get something, Moral can help me."

"Speaking of which, I think my strength may be a little stronger than his..."

Is this being shy?

Although this kind of thing is really not what a girl should do, but since it is like this, you are indeed better than Moral, so don't feel embarrassed, right?
"That's why I asked you to help us get some more things."

"Ah, oh."

"Okay, then give me these?"

"I'll go out and have a look first, you follow."

"Hey?"

I lifted the purse in front of me, and for some reason, Nalia, who had become gentler just now, became less kind again.

Did I... Did I say something wrong just now?
Was my tone too cold just now?Made her feel like we were using her as a coolie?
"Moral, come and support me first, it's time to go!"

"Okay, I'll bring some of this, come on, let's go!"

Moral took two more shots of high-efficiency tranquilizers and took my hand.

"Okay, slow down..."

Do you want to find a chance... to apologize to her?
