old light morning light

Chapter 22 "21"

The glare of the glare directly plunged me into a near-blind state, and the heat wave kept sweeping towards me.

Even if you don't see it with your own eyes, the strong smell of blood in Miman in the air is also accusing the atrocities that have taken place here.

An uncontrollable feeling of oppression surged into my heart.

When the line of sight was able to focus again, I don't know why looking at this bloody and messy scene, an extremely depressing picture appeared in my mind.

A scarlet blood moon is slowly rising in the distance, and everything in the world is shrouded in a dark red blood mist. On the ground in front of you, trickles of blood continue to gather together, and after growing stronger, they flow away into the distance.

When I looked up again, the demon dragon with its teeth and claws in the sky roared, and it mercilessly spewed scorching fire at the people kneeling and praying on the ground.

They howled, they ran around...

It is really a miserable state of purgatory on earth.

"Lin Man, let's go!"

It seemed that I had fallen into silence, and the person who was supporting me in front gently tugged at my dusty sleeves.

"Moral, do you believe that retribution really exists in this world?"

"Although I believe it, what's the use of saying this now?"

"Let's go."

This is war.

Even if it is Ziming who slaughtered himself, is there still a war?

Hahaha, what's the point of that?
"Ho ha!"

"Are you okay?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that I can't exert much strength."

I have to say that Nalia's medicine is still very strong, so far I have only shown weakness.

"By the way, even though we're running out like this now, we can't run around aimlessly, right?"

Moral glanced at my face with a little worry, maybe it looked pretty good, and then looked at Nalia in the distance.

Where are you going?
Originally, I just wanted to live, but now I see such a miserable situation like purgatory...

Is it really possible to find the so-called paradise and live alone?
The world is so big, there is no place to live.

Although I don't know where we can accommodate us, but now I don't have the slightest favor for the empire.

Is it possible...to run to a place controlled by the alliance?
Then how to leave?
The carrier-based aircraft has crashed, and now the means of interstellar travel can only consider smuggling?
Run into the port and sneak into the cargo hold of the cargo ship while they are not looking?
Or buy a black market ticket at a high price?
At least I still have some money on me right now?

Or buy a cheap lightweight shuttle?
Taking a step back, even if he could really leave, would Moral agree?

He is native...

"Why don't we simply flee to the area controlled by the alliance?"

"I don't think I can stay here anymore..."

When Moral saw that I didn't answer for a while, he suddenly turned around and looked at me very seriously and said.

Perhaps as a native citizen of the empire, even if he did not show belief in sects or other wills in his previous life.

But in the depths of his heart, he should also obey the so-called saint and the glory of the empire.

And at this moment, he actually said such words to me seriously.

When I was thinking about how to open this mouth to him, he actually took the initiative to tell me?

Even though I had such an idea in my heart, I was still very shocked.

"I think so... this is no longer the so-called glory."

Called by Nalia in the distance, we started walking again.

Moral's slightly trembling voice was covered by the constant rustling of walking.

I also couldn't see what kind of state Moral's expression was at this time with his back to me.

"it is good."

Just promise him directly.

For a moment, I didn't even know what to do.

Do you need me to comfort him?
He must also feel very uncomfortable, right?
Rather than useless consolation, why not respect his serious determination?

"Then let's find a way to get to Central City first."

"Um……"

Although on the surface it seems that I have made concessions to his request, but in fact this is also what I need.

Speaking of it, Monk Zhanger couldn't figure out how he became like this, but in the end not only made him more grateful to me, but also achieved my goal by the way.

Even if a villain like me dies one day in the future, I'm afraid I will go to hell, right?
Ha ha……

What nonsense, Lin Man!
I didn't deliberately use words to guide Moral to think in this way, I didn't even have the idea of ​​deliberately inducing him!
Besides, my starting point is to consider the interests of the collective.

When thinking about it, there is no distinction between Moral or me, what should I do personally, and what benefits can I get.

It was Nalia.

Do you want to distinguish between her and our two concepts?
"Call Nalia and let her come over first, I have something to discuss with her."

Out of the consideration of saving energy and avoiding the wound by shouting loudly, Moral was finally allowed to be a coolie again.

"it is good!"

"Miss Nalia!"

"Nali...please come here!"

"What's wrong? Is there anything uncomfortable?"

The person came trotting in front of me, and began to observe my expression.

At least from this point of view, she should still really care about me.

But to be on the safe side, why not exclude her from the team?
"I'm fine. I just asked you to come over and I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh? Do you want me to help you?"

If it continues like this, she will lead the topic off, right?

"We're going to get out of here and go into an area controlled by the league."

"how do you feel?"

"Let's go then, but..."

As if thinking of something, Nalia suddenly hesitated to speak.

she is worried?

What are you still afraid of?

"Worried about how we're going to get out of here?"

"Ah."

This is indeed a big problem, although I have some preliminary ideas now.

But if I can't make her feel confident, I probably won't get her support, right?
"Although I feel that there is no hope, but thinking that I can be brought out of the mortal situation by you..."

"If it's you, you can give it a try."

Can you believe that's what the Marines of the Empire said?
"A miracle has happened to you, I choose to believe in you."

From a certain point of view, the empire is like this, and it is no longer essentially different from failure.

"So you chose to bet with me to the end?"

"Think clearly, are you sure?"

I don't know now whether they will come to find the missing teammates, or whether it is the right choice for us to escape now.

But I know that if I don't take the initiative in my own hands now, I will only become a fat sheep to be slaughtered in the end.

Similarly, I have no binding force on Nalia. If possible, I hope she can leave voluntarily after sending me to Central City.

It may make people feel uncomfortable to say it, but it's just that your kindness and viciousness are not pure.

So you will be confused, you will feel sad.

"I believe you!"

But there is one exception to this, and that is the connection.

Just like her answer, she chose to trust me, even though her eyes looked so clear at this time, but I think people who have experienced betrayal will not trust others so easily.

But since my situation is so bad now, should I trust her for the time being?

"In this case, our first goal is Central City."

Only there will we have the means to get out of here.

"We need to find places that can shelter us again before sunset."

According to my impression, Central City should be in that direction, which is exactly the opposite direction from when we came.

"Anything else?"

When Nalia saw me standing up, she stopped acting like she was thinking.

"There's nothing for now, let's go first, you go a little further."

"If there is anything wrong, let us know immediately."

"Ah."

There should be more than half a day between now and sunset. According to our state, we don't know how far we can go.

Recalling the map I saw on the terminal of the guest house, there seemed to be no other settlements between this settlement and the central city.

Then you need to detour.

If it's Central City over there, you should go in this direction, right?

"Nalia, let's go in this direction, let's go in the direction of other settlements first."

"Just walk straight along the road."

In my memory, I just need to walk along these roads to reach...

vehicle!

An undamaged vehicle in the distance immediately attracted all my attention!

"Moral, is that a car?"

"It's you……"

"Call Nalia!"

"Miss Nalia!!"

"What's the matter this time?"

Nalia, who had already run further ahead, ran back with a waddle.

He looked at me feeling a little unhappy and said.

"Well, can you see if it's possible to make it loud?"

Moral and I definitely don't want to think about it, but fortunately we still have a genuine Imperial Marine Corps here!

"This?"

"Although I have been exposed to training in this area before, but I haven't actually tried it yet?"

"I'm not sure either."

Sure enough, there is a show!

"Then why don't you try it first?"

"Even if it doesn't work, we won't blame you!"

Moral, who could feel it, was also a little excited.

"Okay, then I'll try it..."

The appearance of this vehicle means that we don't need to endure long treks, and the threat of low temperatures raging at night.

Just need Nalia...

"Woo~! Hululu..."

Ring!

While I was still thinking wildly, Nalia picked up a thin wire from nowhere and opened the door just like that...

Opening the door, removing the cover, and igniting the fire are all done in an instant. He is a hero among thieves...
