"87 sanity points, the lighthouse lasts for 15 minutes, and it only takes 7 minutes to go back and forth."
Zhou Jinru looked at the remaining rationality and made a simple estimate in his mind. Breaking through the sea of insects within 7 minutes was tantamount to a fantasy. He did not have otherworldly power and could not do it at all.
At this time, the sound of fighting came from the passage behind them, and those who wanted to rescue their companions had already arrived. They would face a vast sea of insects, and face despair together with Zhou Jinru.
When the commander looked at the crowded insect swarm with his own eyes, he shook his head in despair: "There is no chance, we can't do it. The insect swarm only needs one wave to swallow us all up. Maybe the Diamond Queen can, maybe. "
He pulled Zhou Jinru's clothes and tried to drag him back into the passage. At this point, the rescue operation had failed. The only thing they could do was blow up the passage connecting the mining area and the main city, which would delay it for a while.
"I want to try it. There's also a zip line. Maybe I can get over there on the zip line."
Zhou Jinru refused to retreat. He stared at the black flag and the small figure standing next to the black flag.
Myrtle must have discovered him, how could he give up here?
"Are you crazy?! The insect tide is many times greater than we imagined. The living area has been completely wiped out. That high tower was originally a signal tower. It won't last long!"
The commander pulled Zhou Jinru's protective clothing, pointed at Oki Chongkai and said: "We are standing here, sacrificing the lives of our companions every second. The zipline you want to use is above your head, but the stairs to go up are blocked. And look at those Acid Source Stone Worms, Spiked Source Stone Worms, those Crystal Cluster Monsters, Crystal Cluster Giants, and the Pompeii, which one will let you pass?"
He said sincerely: "We are all prepared to sacrifice, but it is not a unnecessary sacrifice. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will protect those who can survive. If there is no hope, then we will die together. There is no such thing here." I hope, but there is still a Diamond Queen in the main city, and for the sake of the Queen, I will not let soldiers die here."
"what ever."
Zhou Jinru felt blood rushing into his mind. He couldn't help but watch his former operators die in front of him. He would try as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
That Dulin girl who liked to sit with him on the steps and sleep on his shoulder...
"You retreat first. Even without me, you can escape intact. I have to save her. I can't abandon her. I can't abandon anyone! Never! Never!"
The shield wall in front of them was slowly retreating, and the commander could not hold Zhou Jinru back at all. He could only watch him rush towards the sea of insects alone, as small as a drop of water about to fall into the sea.
"Doctor, don't come here!"
Miss Du Lin's voice floated in the sky above the mining area. Her voice was slightly trembling, but like a holding charm, it held Zhou Jinru's forward body in place.
"Myrtle, I'm coming right now!!!!"
He shouted, but the sound wave was blocked by the noise from the sea of insects and could not be transmitted to Myrtle at all. He still dragged his body and continued to move forward.
"catch him!"
The commander shouted, and seven or eight guardsmen swarmed forward, hugged Zhou Jinru tightly, grabbed his hands and feet, and lifted him backwards.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Zhou Jinru struggled violently, even his protective hood fell off, and his whole face turned red.
He didn't dare to return directly like Belinda's hug, because the tower where Myrtle was was destroyed in just a moment.
"Doctor, I am very satisfied to see you again. If you can, please help Ms. Seria. She has given too much and has shouldered too much,"
The black flag was pulled down and held in Myrtle's hand. She whispered: "I promised Ms. Dawson to give this flag to the doctor, but when I returned to Rhode Island, I got But it’s the news of the doctor’s death.”
"Although the current doctor is not my doctor, it is better for the black flag to be placed in the hands of the doctor than to stay here."
Myrtle held the spear with both hands and shook it slightly. The black flag was wrapped around the barrel of the gun. She buckled it on the zipline, pressed the switch, and flew straight to the direction of Zhou Jinru.
"I miss those times in Rhode Island so much."
Without the protection of the black flag, the signal tower suddenly collapsed and turned into countless rubble and dust in front of everyone's eyes.
Boom.
At the same time, the black flag flew down from the zipline, and the gun tip bounced to the ground and fell next to Zhou Jinru.
"Myrtle! Myrtle!"
Zhou Jinru shouted and was carried away by his comrades. Someone also picked up the black flag and took it with him.
He felt like he was going crazy. He watched an operator die in front of him. Even though he was an operator in the dream world, he was still going crazy with pain.
"Why is this happening? Why? It must be that I'm not strong enough. It must be like this. I..."
The commander put the remaining black flag into his hand and said calmly: "If we all survive in the end, you can do whatever you want, scold me, beat me, or even kill me. Because I stopped you from saving Miss Myrtle, but not now, we must fight until the last moment."
Holding the black flag, it was no different from a stick in Zhou Jinru's hand. There was no sense of blood connection like Colt's, nor was there any sound.
Zhou Jinru retreated with them, watching them install Originium bombs to blow up the passage during the retreat.
He must face reality. Myrtle in the dream world is dead. As Belinda told him before, there is no future here.
The Scorpio sacrifice who had crossed paths with him is now Myrtle, who will be next?
He walked in the team in despair. Even if this place was blown up, it would only be able to gain temporary peace for the main city.
Is there really no hope anymore?
Zhou Jinru seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and all his thoughts turned into dust with the collapse of the signal tower.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ground trembled violently, and the detonated Originium bomb blew up the passage leading to the mining area with rolling rocks, quickly blocking the way out. Some Originium insects that tried to pass through were buried in the rubble together with the cluster monsters.
"Pioneer, you can rest in the main city, or you can go to any war zone to join the battle. No one can force you to do anything. Goodbye."
The commander saluted Zhou Jinru and left quickly.
Today's underground city no longer has the calmness it once had. There are gathering combat teams and transport teams transporting supplies everywhere.
At this time, a support staff walked into the lounge and asked loudly:
"Pioneer, Mr. Aguang, here is your phone number."
