Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

The open pit of a mine.

It is also an open space for miners to rest.

——They don’t have such leisure now.

When the thundering sounds of fighting turned into shrill screams, everyone should understand what happened.

Moreover, the sound was getting closer and closer to them.

Dr. Yang was also here, bandaging the wounds of the helpers lying on the ground one by one, and was so busy that he was sweating from time to time.

Some strong miners were also recruited, asking them to help snatch the gang members who fell to the ground from exhaustion from the mouths of the monsters, and carry them here to receive treatment from Dr. Yang. Maybe they could get up to fight again after waking up.

The miners who came back will never forget it once they have seen that kind of monster.

——If they can survive today.

Huo Buyang was not called to the front line because he was not old enough. In addition, he is a member of the old doctor's family, so the gang members thought that he might have some medical skills, so they arranged to help Dr. Yang take care of the injured.

The same goes for Aping, who has just recovered from his leg injury, but even coming to work is already considered a life force and a strong will. If he faces the fog man, he will not be able to run fast at all, let alone rescue the injured.

A Ping has never seen such a battle, and he can only keep thinking of his wife at home to cheer him up. Even so, his hand holding the mining pick was still trembling slightly.

He walked around the clearing from time to time, then sat down again helplessly.

It seems that he is inspecting the injured, but in fact he is just covering up his anxiety and fear.

"Xiao Huo, do you think we can go back alive?" A Ping couldn't help but speak.

As soon as he finished speaking, he laughed at himself.

‘Do I still want to get comfort from a child? ’

However, Xiao Huo's performance was indeed beyond his expectations. From the incident until now, he has always been the least conspicuous but the calmest one.

Sometimes even Dr. Yang would tremble nervously, but it was this young man who stepped up to steady his hand and help him pick out the instruments the doctor wanted.

Aping was also infected, so he unconsciously wanted to get advice from him.

"I don't know either." Huo Buyang shook his head.

"That's right..." A Ping's mouth was bitter, how could he ask such a question that had no answer at all.

"However," Huo Buyang pointed to a gang member lying on the ground groaning, "Brother Aping, you were able to face the bone dog directly at that time. In this situation, you already have a lot more possibilities to survive than people like him. .”

"What do you mean!" After hearing this, the gang members on the ground couldn't help shouting: "I'm injured too, okay!"

A Ping took a closer look and recognized that he was the gangster who searched Xiao Huo at that time. The so-called "injury" he meant was a cut on his forearm. The injury was so slight that it almost turned into a scab.

It seems that he is someone who took advantage of the injury to stay behind.

"Go, go, leave me alone." The gangster kicked the miner next to him again and lay down with his head covered.

Dr. Yang could only shake his head helplessly.

This man's status in the Qingyang Gang was higher than that of ordinary gang members. No one present could order him. The other Qingyang Gang members were all resisting the Fog Man and could not find him.

"But the reality is... only people like this have a chance to survive."

He doesn’t even know if he will have a tomorrow, and Aping no longer avoids it:

"Those brave men are dead."

I don’t know how many of the gang members who were really fighting against the monsters had already been killed by them. On the contrary, the gang members who usually made things difficult for the miners and who stayed behind at critical moments were still able to hold on until now.

Just like himself, he was the only one who rushed out to drive away the bone dog at that time, and was injured for this. If it weren't for the old doctor's medical skills and his wife's careful care, he would have died long ago.

On the other hand, the miners hiding behind him are still living well, and even more nourished.

"That's not what I meant." Huo Buyang shook his head, "This is not a matter of courage."

"It's about whether you can accurately judge the situation..."

"What do you mean?" A Ping was stunned.

"Ah ah ah run quickly!"

Before Huo Buyang could speak, bursts of screams suddenly sounded in the open space.

A fog man crawled out of the ore pile with his body covered with crossbow arrows and half of his arm broken off, but his eyes were still fierce.

I don't know what method it used to pass through the fighting battlefield, avoid the search of Wang Hu and her personal guards, and climb to the top of the mine.

There are only a group of injured and unconscious gang members and miners who have no weapons and do not know how to fight.

It's almost like...

——Natural enclosure.

"No, no, no, no, no!"

Fog Man roared to the crowd.

The first to bear the brunt were Huo Buyang and others.

Dr. Yang was so frightened that he sat down on the ground and beat his legs frantically to try to stand up.

Seeing the ferocious face that did not look like a human creature, A Ping's mind went blank for a moment.

He subconsciously raised his pickaxe.

But, is courage useful at this time?

The gang members at A Ping's feet were so frightened that they quickly fell to the ground and squirmed away into the distance.

He found out.

It is because these miners can still move that they have become the preferred target of monsters. As long as he escapes secretly without being discovered, he will definitely not be the first to die.

You can also use the rest of the people to attract the monster's attention.

Suddenly, a strong force lifted him up.

Then there was a whirlwind, and when the gang member opened his eyes again, what he saw was a bloody mouth.

At some point, the gang members were thrown in front of Fog Man.

The monster held the man down as if to hold him in his arms, and then bit him.

at this time.

At this moment when the fog man lowered his head to eat the gang members.

The boy held an iron bar and hit it hard on the back of the head.

"Brother Aping!" Huo Buyang roared.

Aping reacted, raised his mining pick and hit the fog man, hitting its slender legs and hitting it so hard that it was unable to get up for a moment.

But Xiao Huo was still waving the iron rod.

Once or twice... it hit Fog Man's neck like a violent storm.

Click.

The head rolled down.

Huo Buyang Shengsheng was actually smashed to pieces with an iron rod, including bones and skin.

But he hasn't stopped yet, and is still beating the remaining chest and abdomen of Fog Man frantically, as if he wants to beat it into a pulp.

Debris flew everywhere.

The slime was all over the young man, but he didn't seem to notice it.

Until Aping stopped him: "Okay, okay, the monster is dead!"

Xiao Huo showed no trace of fear or madness during the whole process and acted entirely with reason.

"This is called last hit."

He exhaled, picked up the clothes of the fallen gang members, and wiped the serum off his hands.

This man was lying under Kirito just now. At this moment, he didn't know whether he was bitten, bleeding, and fainted, or was knocked unconscious.

A Ping cast a shocked look at him.

"Picked it up secretly." Huo Buyang held the iron rod in his hand and explained the origin of the weapon casually.

The Iron Ten Hands have been hidden in advance, there is no need to use them now.

He continued, as if explaining or recalling:

"Didn't Brother Aping ask me 'what do you mean' just now? The key to surviving is not how courageous you are, but how clearly you can judge the situation..."

"Just like Brother Aping once said, if you hadn't gone out to drive away the bone dog, everyone, including yourself, would have died from the siege of the dogs.

"Now, if the Qingyang Gang cannot resist these monsters, even if you are hiding behind, you will eventually be killed and surrounded by them, eating them all, which will be even more miserable.

"By then it will be too late, whether you are brave or cowardly... How can you expect others' efforts to determine your own destiny with luck?"

Suddenly, Huo Buyang smiled sheepishly.

He scratched his head: "This is what others taught me. I can't remember the exact words, but this is how I understand them."

At this time, the boy's behavior was consistent with his actual age.

"Taught by others..."

It wasn't these parts that surprised Aping. Excessive stimulation made his head swollen, and he had no energy to listen clearly to what Xiao Huo said.

What he noticed was the unconscious gang member.

There was already a bite wound on this man's body that was deep enough to show the bone, and the skin and flesh were torn apart - now he was considered a real injury.

Thinking of how he had made things difficult for the miners and Xiao Huo before, A Ping suddenly had a feeling.

The so-called "judging the situation", the most important thing is actually - don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with.

He smiled, raised his mining pick and stood behind Xiao Huo, and the panic in his heart somehow calmed down.

He also understood the logic.

I just don’t know who taught this tit-for-tat method... who taught it.
