Twelve Trials from Scratch

A moment later, the order was conveyed from the flagship to the skies over Canaan Island, and all the rebellious fleet ambushing outside the battlefield began to evacuate.

……

"Miss Lin, the rebellious people are starting to evacuate."

As soon as the formation of small floating battleships outside the Huberian Bridge left, Lin immediately got the news—although in terms of pure technology, the overall level of anti-entropy equipment is higher than that of Destiny, but it is far away from it. It's so close, it would be too useless if Huberian's radar can't find it anymore.Although there is some gap between the two, it is not that big.

"Very good, but you still have to stay alert and pay close attention to their movements. After you confirm the evacuation, you can turn more energy to the cleaning of the remaining Houkai beasts and post-disaster rescue."

She let out a long breath, and the strings in her heart that had been tense since the attack of the Houkai Beast finally relaxed a little.

"By the way, what about the Captain?"

"It seems to be safe and sound, moving to the Hyperion."

"Are all three still alive?"

"According to reports from responders, none of the three are life-threatening."

"Yeah, that's great..."

Lin raised her head slightly, muttered to herself, and slowly slumped on the chair.

……

Not long after, Teresa, who had almost reached the ancient city, returned to Canaan Island and began to preside over the overall situation.

About ten minutes later, the last Houkai Beast in the city was wiped out, and the goal of sweeping up the remaining enemies was completed.

Next, all the personnel of the Tianming Extreme East Branch organized the rescue under the coordination of Teresa, Ji Zi and other branch executives. Su Qi also joined them and began to fight fires in most of the ruined cities.

At the same time, Zhang Qian, who was imprisoned in the prison area on the Hyperion, had a long-lost reunion.

"Old Wang, help me watch first, I'm going to the toilet."

"Understood, go and come back quickly, don't just play with your phone."

"Hey, what a pity, shitting at work and playing with your phone is one of life's great pleasures."

"Stop talking nonsense, get the hell out of here and go to the toilet, go early and come back early, do you hear me?"

"Yes, yes, I understand, I will be right back."

Another guard trotted away, leaving only Lao Wang, who had come forward to serve as a strong man due to lack of manpower, standing at the door of the prison room separated by iron fences, quietly watching the inside where the armor was stripped and he was wearing only a yellow prisoner suit. Take Zhang Qian who is sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Zhang Qian also looked at him with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, not seeing the indifference of strangers and enemies at all.

The two were silent for a moment, and Lao Wang walked to the blind corner under the monitor, leaned his back against the wall next to the iron fence, looked down for a cigarette, and said to himself, "It's been a long time, Lao Zhang."

Zhang Qian did not turn his eyes away, but still sat cross-legged on the ground, his head still, his lips slightly opened and closed, and said softly: "Yes, three years later and three years later, three years later and three years later, ten years in a blink of an eye It's over."

Lao Wang took out a cigarette, knocked on the cigarette case, and said casually, "How did you get in?"

Zhang Qian's eyelids trembled, and he looked down at the reflection on the floor in front of him, as well as his embarrassed face, and sighed softly, "I said that what happened tonight was all caused by me, do you believe me?" Do not believe?"

"Believe it, why don't you believe it?"

Old Wang Keng flipped on the lighter with a bang, lit the cigarette, looked at the swaying flames, and said in a daze, "People change. You were a good person ten years ago, who knows if you will still be a person ten years later? Just like me, didn’t I never think that I would become a cleaner in ten years’ time.”

"I want to be a good person, but the world doesn't give me a chance."

"How can I give you a chance?"

He put away the lighter, but said in a complicated tone: "Do you know how many people died tonight? Who will give them a chance?"

"I want to give them a chance too, but I don't have a choice."

"Then I have a choice?"

Lao Wang looked up at the ceiling, raised his cigarette and took a puff, exhaled slowly, and said with deep eyes: "I still want to raise a daughter, so I can't lose this job."

This "job" is of course not a cleaner, but a spy subordinate to Archbishop Otto.In order for his daughter to continue to live, even if he had a deep friendship with Zhang Qian in the past, he would never let Zhang Qian go out at a huge risk.

"No, you have a choice."

Zhang Qian raised his head slowly, his eyes were calm, but his tone was extremely depressed as before the storm, "If you knew that the Honkai Beast invasion ten years ago was intentional, which side would you choose?"

Chapter 24 Repeater

"What did you say!?"

Old Wang's pupils shrank slightly, and his voice suddenly increased.

But immediately he calmed down, his eyes were as sharp as a knife's edge, he turned his head, stared at Zhang Qian's face, and said coldly, "Did someone really do that thing ten years ago on purpose?"

Ten years ago, Pharaoh was not Pharaoh.He could have been considered one of the "winners in life", with a happy family and a satisfying job, but the large-scale collapse and invasion in Cangqiong City destroyed everything.

Now he has lost his family, job, and honor, and has become a spy who appears to be a cleaner and needs to protect others from guns at any time; only his sick daughter is left to depend on each other, but they are separated from each other and cannot see each other for a year to several times.

If everything was a natural disaster, it would be fine, no matter how angry and hated he is, he can only endure it, but if the disaster ten years ago was just someone's calculation for his own benefit, then he... besides revenge, is there anything else? choose?

Turning a blind eye to Old Wang Fengrui's eyes, Zhang Qian's mouth curled into an incomprehensible arc, as if mocking himself or sarcasm: "Otherwise, what do you think I've been doing for the past ten years? Studying how to become a terrorist?"

Not caring about the tone of the other party, Lao Wang immediately said: "Who is it?"

Zhang Qian asked instead, "How many people do you think can create an artificial collapse of that scale? And you should have heard a little bit about it. Why was I arrested?"

"Could it be..."

The pupils dilated slowly, and an ominous premonition rose in Lao Wang's heart, as if a heart was gradually dipping into a cold ice pool.

"That's right, that's the one." Zhang Qian sneered, "That guy will be the culprit. How could it be impossible for ordinary people to think of it?"

"evidence."

Lao Wang's face remained unchanged, but his heart had already begun to struggle.

"Evidence? Then I'll tell you a little bit about what I've investigated in the past ten years..."

Next, Zhang Qian gave a brief overview of all the black materials about Otto that he knew as soon as possible, including the ins and outs of this incident.

"These... are just empty words you said, not enough evidence."

"You can't trust me?"

Zhang Qian raised his head slightly, looked at his friend from ten years ago through the fence, and suddenly smiled wryly, "That's right, people change, ten years have passed, and the big fool back then has become less easy to fool around. "

Old Wang turned his head and glanced in the direction of the corridor, "He's almost coming back soon."

"Su Qi."

Hearing the other party's "reminder", Zhang Qian immediately said: "That man seems to be called by this name. I have nothing on me now, so it is impossible to give you evidence on the spot, but you can go to him, I will hide the latest evidence The location of the spot is given to that man."

"Su Qi?"

Hearing this name by accident, Old Wang couldn't help being slightly startled.

"What, you know him?"

He paused and said calmly, "That kid shares the same dormitory with me."

Zhang Qian's eyes lit up, "Oh, that's really the best. With his ability, he should be an excellent help against that person."

"How did you get involved with him?"

"Wrong, you should ask him why he took the initiative to get involved with me. On the way to send me to the Hyperion, but he took the initiative to ask me to exchange his views on that bastard Otto."

"His goal is the same as yours?"

"It seems so."

"Do you really think that with your strength, you can win that person? You have no idea how powerful he is... Maybe all your actions are in his expectation, maybe he doesn't care about your plan at all. Because he If you are prepared, you can make ten years of hard work in vain with a light flick of your finger."

"so what?"

Zhang Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, and for the first time since the reunion, he looked at Old Wang with some cold eyes, "Wang Qinian, what are you afraid of? That's right, maybe my plan is indeed not perfect, maybe I have endured humiliation for ten years in the eyes of that bastard." It’s a joke too, but do you think it’s better to do nothing than to fight back? Like you are now?”

Lao Wang was shocked, silent for a moment, and said with difficulty: "Yes, I am afraid. Because my daughter is still alive, but is corroded by Houkai, and the medicine is in Otto's hands. I can't bring my daughter in." .”

Zhang Qian froze for a moment, and was also silent for a while, but still unwilling to say: "So... Even if what I said is true, you are going to pretend that you didn't hear anything? Comrade comrades, family members, and thousands of others Innocents, let them die in vain?"

Dead silence, suffocating dead silence suddenly descended, filling every strand of air between the two of them.

Old Wang, who was stared at by Zhang Qianshi, leaned against the wall like a solid bronze statue, supported his body with difficulty, lowered his head, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and his heart was full of struggles.

kill!Kill Otto!Kill that bastard!Take revenge for everyone!To avenge myself too!

Do not!Never do that!You have no chance of winning. Even if you are really against Otto, you are just blocking the car with your arms. You will survive the hard work. The only daughter is also involved in the whirlpool and dies with you... How can you bear it! ?

Although he said that "everyone is subject to change", knowing Zhang Qian's character well, coupled with the flawless rhetoric of the other party, he actually believed it half to eighty percent in his heart.So in his heart, heaven and man were at war, and hatred and love kept colliding, seesawing back and forth, deeply tormenting his soul that had been scarred since ten years ago.

Faintly heard footsteps coming from the other end of the corridor. Obviously, the kid who went to the toilet to fish is about to return. Zhang Qian didn't care about letting his former friend calm down, and hurriedly asked: "How is it, Wang Qinian, which one are you going to choose?" side?"

Wang Qinian's body trembled, his face twisted slightly, and the sides of his rapidly fluctuating eyes showed an extremely violent struggle in his heart, until the footsteps at the other end of the corridor were getting closer and closer, and Zhang Qian urged again, "Old Wang, we are almost gone!" It's time." Then he finally closed his eyes, lowered his head slumpedly, with pain and unwillingness on his face, and whispered in a difficult tone that seemed to have squeezed out all hope: "Sorry, I choose... the side of the living..."

At the same time as the words fell, a trace of disbelief flashed in Zhang Qian's eyes, and his face became as stiff as a stone sculpture.

Wang Qinian's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, his spine, which had never been bent no matter how tired he was, no matter how old and humble he was in the past ten years, suddenly collapsed, and his body standing against the wall was faintly bent.

For a moment, the quagmire-like silence surrounded the two of them again.

But when he thought that Zhang Qian would just keep silent like this, the latter said in a slightly hoarse voice: "The potion that cures Honkai and erodes is more expensive than gold. Is that bastard Otto a person who can trade at a loss?"

Wang Qinian's pupils shrank slightly, but before he could speak, another guard who had just left came over, looked at Lao Wang, and then at Zhang Qian in the prison room, and said strangely: "Old Wang, are you talking to me?" He chatted?"

Lao Wang's face remained unchanged, and he said nonchalantly, "Oh, I just want to ask for a cigarette from me, but I don't have any extra cigarettes to give to the terrorists who created artificial collapse."

Zhang Qian immediately sneered and said, "If you don't give it, you won't give it. Don't spitting blood, I don't want to be compared with those bearded Arabs."

"Don't pay attention to him, it's you..." Lao Wang immediately changed the subject, "Why did you go away for so long? Did you do something strange in the side office?"

A trace of panic flashed in the young man's eyes, and he immediately said, "Ahem, how is it possible? I'm just...constipated, yes, just a little constipated."

"Young people, the future will last forever, you must know how to control yourself."

Lao Wang patted him on the shoulder meaningfully, and completely dismissed the previous topic.

After that, Zhang Qian was completely silent, just sitting in a corner facing the wall and shut himself up, and never had any communication with Wang Qinian again.But the last sentence he said was like a thorn, deeply piercing into Wang Qinian's heart.

……

That night, the people in the entire Far East branch were busy until dawn.

And because of the noble character in his heart, coupled with the fact that this is a critical period to increase his favorability, Su Qi has of course been fighting on the front line of fighting the collapse and disaster relief, and he also stayed up all night.Fortunately, he is already a top expert in the "Cultivation of Immortals", but staying up all night has basically no effect on him.
