She raised her left prosthetic leg tremblingly, and her right hand, which was about to lose its strength, took out a sharp arrow from the quiver on her back and placed it on the string again.
Then, target the enemy in the distance.
She wasn't going to back down until the quiver was empty.
Arrows from unknown friendly parties flew past her ears, hitting enemies in the distance again and again. These Syracusean mafia seemed determined to seize the package, so they did not flinch.
The wolves were howling and roaring, and the two Rhode Island field operators fought to the death. Hongyun had tears in his eyes and was breathing heavily.
She tried her best to keep her breathing steady, endured the stinging feeling of sweat in her eyes, and let go of the bowstring in her hand.
The two arrows flew out together in the air, straight forward.
Chapter 4 Sixty: The Road of Hope for the Black Wolf and the Yellow Fox
The battle is over.
Apart from Hongyun, there were only a few wolves left on the field that could be considered alive.
Hongyun knelt down on the ground slumped, her prosthetic limb no longer obeyed her function, and the bow fell from her hand on the muddy ground, staining it black.
She stared blankly at the entire battlefield, scanning her former companions.
In such a battle with a huge disparity between the enemy and ourselves, there is almost no suspense.
All died except Hongyun.
The tragedy of the battlefield made Hongyun unable to look away, and she could only let tears fill her eyes to blur her vision.
Hongyun is also a miserable person.
Similar to Ziyue, Hongyun is also one of the people who survive in the wilderness of Syracuse, but her connection with civilization is closer.
When she was young, the wilderness settlement she lived in was massacred by Ursus' mercenary group.
After that, the young Hongyun embarked on the road of revenge, and was helped by an old hunter. From then on, he became a hunter in the Syracuse wilderness and made a living by hunting.
Because he had no understanding of ori disease, Hongyun, who always went out into dangerous environments, contracted ori disease without any accident. People in the wilderness were always full of prejudice and rumors about ori disease. Therefore, Hongyun didn't even know what he was going to do. Treat mineral sickness.
In the wilderness of Syracuse, people could only... passively accept their own experiences.
Until...she received a new contract in a certain settlement.
Employment contract from Rhode Island field operator.
"Your mineral sickness is a bit serious. It just so happens that our Rhodes Island has the strongest medical foundation for mineral sickness in Terra. How about..."
I shouldn't have signed it in the first place...
While Hongyun was choking, she stood up slowly, picked up her bow with her right hand, and swung it twice.
There was no time for her to feel sad. Since these mafiosi came for the package, there must be others waiting for news of success or failure. After learning that these people had failed, more people would definitely come.
She had to leave here quickly and head towards the route of Rhodes Island. When Rhodes Island passed by the outside of Syracuse, it was Hongyun's only chance to complete her mission.
But just as Hong Yun stood up, she heard footsteps behind her.
Just as she was about to turn around, Ziyue swung her bow arm and hit her hard on the waist.
Hongyun fell to the ground. Although she didn't know what happened, she subconsciously protected the package around her waist and curled up.
Ziyue stood beside her, her eyes cold, and the wolves slowly surrounded her.
"Give me that thing, that thing you got," she whispered.
Hongyun coughed, her petite body curled up, and she said nothing.
"What is that thing? Food? Or something else?" Ziyue was not in a hurry to kill Hongyun, but glanced around: "What is it that so many people are fighting for?"
"You don't lack food or clothes. What is it that makes you have to kill each other to get it?"
Hongyun took a deep breath and whispered: "It's hope..."
"Hope..." Ziyue chewed on this word that was too unfamiliar to her, and suddenly felt something trembling in her heart.
"What does hope mean?" she continued.
Hongyun sneered. She hugged the package tightly with both hands, looked sideways at Ziyue who was standing beside her, and whispered: "Don't you understand what hope is?"
She noticed the Originium crystals on Ziyue's ankles and realized that the wild girl in front of her, who was several years older than her, was also suffering from mineral sickness.
So, Hongyun came up with the rhetoric... that the field operator once told her.
"When you can't sleep at night because of the pain of the disease, the Origin Stone grows in your body, taking away all your rights as a human being, and letting you clearly know that you will one day die at the hands of this disease... When you Realize that ore disease is like a thug with a knife, taking away everything from you and even your life."
"When you want to change everything in your heart, you are hungry for hope."
Ziyue listened to Hongyun's words, paused, and whispered: "It's like the... thing I felt when my wolf came to save me when I was surrounded by other wolves. ?”
"But you don't lack food, you don't lack clothes...what do you want to do?" Ziyue frowned.
"This is...the hope of more people." Hongyun continued, grinning a little harshly: "I don't understand that much, but they said...with this thing, we can save a lot of people. Saved many, many people.”
It has nothing to do with whether the food is enough to eat, whether the clothes can keep out the cold in the winter, and has nothing to do with survival itself, but something more noble, more...indescribable.
Ziyue looked around the battlefield again, looking at the bodies that fell on the muddy ground. The blood they shed formed a pool of blood on the ground, mixing with the dark muddy potholes. The water surface mixed with sewage and blood glowed in the sun. With a strange sheen.
I can't understand it, but...why do I feel so twitching in my heart?
It's like witnessing the death of an old wolf in the pack, or witnessing a companion being pierced by the horns of a pack animal... What is this feeling?
Hope, what is it that these people want to pass on even at the cost of their lives?
I'd love to know...
Ziyue covered her chest, feeling the strange emotion, and whispered: "Then, where are you going to take that thing to find the so-called hope?"
Hongyun raised her head, hugged the package with both hands, and looked at the girl in front of her.
"I want... to go to Rhode Island."
"Is Rhodes Island... very far?"
"Very far, farther than the farthest reaches of the wilderness of Syracuse."
"How long does it take to go? What kind of place is that?"
"A few days... There are a lot of people there. It's, how should I put it, very... warm? Actually, I haven't been there either."
"Warm? In a season like this? A place like a city? I hate places with ceilings..."
Hongyun hugged the package tightly and frowned in surprise: "What do you want to say?"
"I want to take a look." Ziyue slowly put away the bowstring, put the arrows back into her quiver, and stared at the yellow-haired Walper child in front of her.
"I want to know what hope is, and why people who don't have to worry about food, clothing, winter and hunting have to sacrifice their lives to find it."
"If there is hope in Rhode Island, I must go and see it."
She stretched out her hand, her eyes firm and curious: "Call me Ziyue! You are the second person who can call me that name after Agnese gave it to me."
"Let's go to Rhode Island together!" she said solemnly.
Hongyun stretched out her dirty hands and held them tightly with Ziyue.
She was pulled up by Ziyue, and the wolf on the side came forward with Hongyun's bow in its mouth.
Black Wolf, who was far away from civilization, finally became interested in civilization because of the word hope.
The yellow fox, who had experienced two losses, had a companion again.
Chapter 461: Each bear has its own agenda
Lin Guang walked briskly to the door of Bai Glaze's office, pushed the door open and entered.
As soon as she entered the house, she smelled a familiar smell.
Although Bai Glaze was sitting upright on the chair, Linguang quickly realized that Bai Glaze must have... done it.
With someone, done.
Linguang was not in a hurry to look for any traces. She understood that her lover always liked to deal with everything after being tender. Besides, she didn't need to look for traces.
Lin Guang strode to Bai Glaze's desk, gently threw the documents in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "Doctor, your documents."
Bai Glaze took the document and looked at it, then looked up at Lin Guang and said, "Just finished training?"
"Well, yes." Linguang smiled and nodded: "After training, my body has accumulated some fatigue, so I wanted to come to you."
She glanced at the open door in the direction of the bathroom, then looked at Bai Glaze, narrowed her eyes, and asked with her mouth: "Is there anyone else in the room?"
Not long ago, Atrocity had changed his clothes and left, so Bai Glaze shook his head: "No."
Since there was no one else in the room, there was no need to hide Lin Guang. She walked to Bai Glaze's side and lowered her head with a smile.
Bai Glaze could smell the almost fragrant smell of sweat on her body. It was a dense aura created by the sweat that had just been secreted. It was not smelly, but gave off a strong sense of vitality.
"Margaret..." Bai Glaze called in a low voice.
Linguang smiled with satisfaction and whispered: "Yes, I'm here."
After saying that, she continued to lower her head, holding the hair on the side of her neck with one hand, gently holding the armrest of the seat with the other hand, and kissed Bai Glaze's lips.
Lin Guang's kiss was still so passionate and active, and his tongue penetrated Bai Glaze's mouth, carrying a slight scent of energy drink - she would drink it after training.
After a kiss, Linguang pecked the corner of Bai Glaze's mouth with unsatisfied intentions. His eyes were a little hazy and he said, "I miss you very much."
"We'll see each other every day, obviously." Bai Glaze smiled helplessly, took the hand she was holding on the seat, and gently rubbed it.
"But it doesn't stop me from missing you. I miss my lover every day. This is a matter of course."
As Lin Guang spoke, he lowered his head again and kissed the tip of Bai Glaze's nose, showing off the initiative of a valiant woman.
This made Bai Glaze a little overwhelmed. He swallowed and said, "Why are you so proactive today?"
Regarding this point, Linguang couldn't explain clearly. It seemed that every time she found out that Bai Glaze was having sex with someone else, she would always have inexplicable emotions and become particularly eager to act coquettishly with Bai Glaze.
Only in front of Bai Glaze can she show her feminine side. Perhaps because of this, she becomes more and more dependent on Bai Glaze.
The upright knight who was relied on also had someone he wanted to rely on.
Linguang took off the towel hanging around his neck, placed it gently on the table, and then said, "Can I stay with you during this lunch break?"
"Of course!" Bai Glaze nodded: "Then, you go take a shower first, and I'll go to the canteen to get you a meal back?"
"Yeah." Linguang nodded with a smile, then turned to look in the direction of the bathroom.
She wanted to use the smell of her body to cover up... the smell here.
With this thought in mind, Lin Guang turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
Bai Glaze got up, left the office, and went to get a meal for Linguang and himself.
When he came to the cafeteria, it happened to be the busiest time in the cafeteria. Although Bai Zai was very popular among the operators, due to Bai Zai's usually approachable to somewhat naughty character, although the operators respected him, they also liked him. Playing with him like a friend.
Bai Glaze took two take-out lunch boxes and queued up. In front of him, it happened to be winter.
Lin Dong glanced back at him, raised his eyebrows and said, "You guys actually know how to eat on time? It's really rare."
Due to the nature of Bai Glaze's work, he often only eats two meals a day, or even one meal a day when there are a lot of documents. The rest of the time, he relies on snacks delivered by a small car to satisfy his hunger.
The cart sometimes delivers not only snacks but also Lucille herself.
After listening to Lin Dong's words, Bai Glaze shrugged and replied: "I'm not too busy at work today, and I'm a little hungry."
"Are you hungry?" Lin Dong looked at him, saw two lunch boxes, and continued: "I don't remember you having such a big appetite."
Hearing this, Bai Glaze leaned over and said with a wicked smile: "Yes, I really don't have a big appetite, but winter is not much better."
"A bad little bear who is greedy but can't eat much."
With just one word, Lin Dong's face turned red.
"You!" She was furious, raising the lunch box in her hand to get the white glaze.
Bai Glaze leaned back out of reflex, but felt that he bumped into someone. A pair of slender hands stretched out from behind him and closed on his chest from bottom to top.
I also felt a warmth on my back.
"Doctor, be careful of the people behind you." A soft voice came to Bai Glaze's ears.
That was the sound of morning dew.
"Ah, sorry, Zao Lu." Bai Glaze apologized, and then wanted to move forward and break away from Zao Lu's arms.
