Throne of Shadows

The dripping rain, as if the thread was broken, kept falling.The next person is upset, and the next person is confused.

Dongchen hugged Ai Wei'er with a deep kick, and a shallow kick, and walked forward slowly.Perhaps Bujie's crow's mouth was right, they were cursed.From the morning of five days ago to now, they have been walking day and night for an indefinitely long time, and the rain on their heads has been raining for an indefinitely long time.

"Am I going to die?" Going forward day and night exhausted the last bit of energy of the goblin. She was not a combatant, but a princess who should be protected.

Dongchen hugged her, feeling sore and bitter in his heart.

Maybe Ai Weier was right, they were all going to die.In fact, from the moment he left the city, Dongchen knew that maybe they would all die so ordinary.

Starving to death is not a strange thing.In this apocalyptic age, death due to lack of food happens every moment.The fights and tragedies caused by food have never stopped.

They are not the first, nor will they be the last.

But they are still holding on.The team has thrown everything it can.

Begoberd felt sorry for this for a long time, but he threw away everything except the water maker he was holding on to.If it weren't for the last trace of pride in the fighters, maybe they would even throw away their weapons.For example, the alloy rods dragged by the gold steel on the ground.

The rain is still falling and people are still walking.

There is no end, no hope.

The fossil-like trees around are bare, without even a leaf.

The little goblin's body gradually became cold, and Dongchen turned his head sadly.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, with a breath of despair, and no one knew how to speak, let alone what to say.

With his head down, water was flowing under his chin, bit by bit, converging into a stream and sliding down.

Is it tears?or rain?

"Give her another sip of water!"

Christina hugged Annie, and the little angel was also in bad condition. She had a fever, and her red face made people feel distressed.Maybe...she's next.

He weighed it hard, hugged Annie tightly with one hand, and took off the water bottle at his waist with the other hand and handed it over.The rainwater splashed on it one after another, ticking, and Dongchen caught it with desolate tears.

"Ai Weier, drink water..."

The little goblin was in a daze, with the mouth of the pot pressed against her mouth, but she didn't know to open her mouth.

Big drops of tears welled up in his eyes, and Dong Chen threw the kettle out, wailing like a wolf...

Everyone couldn't bear to turn their faces away.

Suddenly, a golden steel came out of the crowd, holding a knife in his hand: "You eat me up, live on."

Before the words were finished, the knife light was already on.

Everyone's eyes widened in horror, with complex and incomprehensible expressions.

They looked at Jin Gang with respect, confusion, intolerance, and...

No more... Jin Gang flew out.It flew out before the blade reached its throat.Dong Chen held Ai Wei'er and stood where Jin Gang was standing just now, with an Alpha Alloy knife stuck in a tree next to him.

Everyone is silent.

Jin Gang, who fell to the ground, grabbed the dead grass with both hands, and even lost the strength to get up.

Dongchen's eyes struggled, and his eyes slipped past him: "Vegeta, help him up, let's go on. I will not give up a companion, let alone exchange the life of a companion for the hope of living."

Head tilted, firm instead of struggling.

"If we do this this time... so, what about next time?"

Looking back suddenly, his fierce eyes scanned everyone, and Dongchen's voice exuded endless coldness: "I have studied military affairs, and commanders will use the smallest price in exchange for victory. Sacrifice a small number of people to fulfill the majority .In fact, not only the generals, but also the politicians."

The tone was filled with contempt and resentment, and Dong Chen's eyes were filled with blood: "If we can sacrifice a small part today, we can sacrifice another part tomorrow. If we can eat our companions today, we can eat the same tomorrow, but who will we eat?"

"You? Or him?"

The person pointed at either turned his head away, or backed away in fear.

Looking down at the little goblin in his arms who was getting weaker and weaker and about to leave him, and at the girl who was hurt by him but fell in love with him, Dong Chen's tone turned bitter: "What we need is unity, not betrayal. Because of this, more people died, or even all died. But we never gave up on each other. Maybe, some people will say that I am stupid. But if you want to join my team, always remember my words."

His gaze is firm, like a mountain.The voice was cold, like a dry wind.

"Now, let's go."

Perhaps God was overwhelmed by Dongchen's aura, or perhaps an unknown god was moved by the words.

The rain gradually stopped, bit by bit, tick tock.

When the stone-like forest came to an end, it suddenly opened up, and there seemed to be no end to a piece of dark green and black grass.

The crowd rushed forward, and it didn't take long before a vast ocean entered their eyes.

Hope is ahead.

"Ai Weier wake up, wake up..."

The sound of calling did not wake up the unconscious little fairy, her eyelashes moved, and Dongchen seemed to see infinite hope.

"Raise the fire, raise the fire."

The two gold steels dropped their alloy rods and ran back. There are no trees here, but I hope those stones can catch them.

The thick trunk, the petrified branches, although it seems unlikely, it is indeed dead.

The raging flames danced to drive away the severe cold.

Vegeta caught fish in the lake, black, blue, strange in appearance, but still fresh after a bite.

Dongchen bit the fish to pieces and let Ai Weier cross it.

Christina is taking care of Annie, and both patients are struggling.

"Hey, eat more, it will be better if you eat more."

The crunchy fish was swallowed mouthful by mouthful, the little goblin swallowed subconsciously, and her complexion gradually improved.

The stone in Dongchen's heart, with a breath of foul breath, fell to the ground with a bang.Turning his head, he met Christina's gratified gaze, and finally a smile appeared on his face that had been tense.

Is it trust, concern, or love?

"How is Annie (Avier)?"

The words that were asked at the same time made both of them startled, and then laughed at the same time.The crowd was infected by them, and they were all happy.

Begobird muttered angrily: "Damn guy, why don't you take care of Annie, the girl gave it to you for nothing."

"Christina is a doctor, Annie has a fever and it's just right for her to take care of her. Ai Wei'er is just exhausted. Anyone who takes care of her is the same. There is nothing wrong with what the apprentice did. You still think you are a scientist, and you don't even understand the most basic judgment." Don't quit Interjected softly, anyone can hear the run in the words.

Begobird is angry!He took out a damp cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a puff, and then blew it on the unstoppable cigarette.

Thick smoke surrounded the shiny bald head, which looked like a statue in the Church of the Holy Cross, and the group of King Kong who came back from catching fish were all crazy with joy.

"Fuck, it's really filthy to turn into a bird man with a bald head." Cursing and turning sideways, Begobird continued to smoke a stuffy cigarette, enjoying himself while smoking.

Happy laughter spread far and wide by the lake.In the distance, two fleeting dim lights lit up.

Dongchen turned his head, with doubts in his eyes: "Just now... what was it?"
