The soldiers who persisted in fighting in the underground city all knew a man with a firm will to fight. When he appeared on the battlefield, everyone would invariably feel a surge of majestic anger.
He holds an indestructible long knife in his hand. Whether it is a crystal cluster monster, a crystal cluster giant, or a Pompeii-type Originium worm, they can only survive a few rounds. The shield in his hand can block any form of attack.
He looks like a heavily armored professional, but his violent combat mode makes people think he is a guard with a shield.
Most people can remember his name, a very simple name, Aguang.
He actually has another title, Pioneer.
…
Under the flickering firelight, the unshaven man was wiping the blade of the sword with a rag. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked tired, but his waist was still straight and straight.
The rag scratched a gap on the blade and accidentally tore in half. The man threw the rag away casually. He picked up a cup of hot tea placed on the fire and took a sip, even though it was just ordinary water. , he still enjoys it.
The current underground city has entered its final stage. All divisions have been lost, leaving only the main city area. No one could have imagined that it only took a short week from the incident to the current harsh environment.
"The wounded will be transported back to the reception point in the center of the city. If you are willing to take up arms, we will continue to fight. If you are not willing, you can choose to drink from the source and enter a sweet dream. Maybe after waking up, we will have won the final victory."
Zhou Jinru put the long sword back into the scabbard, put down the water glass, stood up and walked out. Soon, several soldiers gathered around him.
A young soldier suddenly asked: "Pioneer, can we really win the final victory?"
"I don't know, but since I'm still standing here, I have to fight until the last moment. If we can live, we will live together. If we can die, we will die together."
Zhou Jinru patted the soldier on the shoulder. He had seen too many such things. Fear would occupy people's hearts, causing them to shrink back, fear, and subconsciously escape.
At the beginning, he used his talent to help them overcome the fear in their hearts, but gradually he stopped doing this. Anyone who has the power to fear and the power to escape may also be a good choice to enter a sweet dream.
Zhou Jinru never saw Seria or Jingzhe, but he learned from some soldiers who retreated from other divisions that they were all still alive.
"Blow up the passage and we retreat."
With the roar of the Origin Stone bomb, the last partition officially entered a state of lockdown, and the underground city became an isolated island, a lone boat in the wind and rain. The helmsman was Seria, who had never been seen before. Zhou Jinru's current status was, at best, But the bosun.
He led a team of more than a thousand people to retreat into the main city, and met an acquaintance while registering.
"Mr. Aguang?"
"it's me."
This is a Liboli man who claims to be a former member of the Scorpion Team, and now he is the only one left alive.
"I heard about the seventh team. You are all good."
After completing the registration, Zhou Jinru and the Liboli man went to the city center together. On the way, the other party couldn't help crying and burst into tears.
While Zhou Jinru comforted him, he looked at the fortifications piled up on both sides of the road and the engineering teams installing Originium bombs everywhere. It seemed that the city was really ready to be destroyed.
"Is there any news about the Queen of Diamonds?"
"Not yet, but the Queen must be preparing for the final victory."
Zhou Jinru nodded. He didn't believe that Seria would abandon the people here, so he could only believe that the other party was brewing some killer deal that would make the final decision.
"Are you going to join the next defensive battle, or will you choose to enter a sweet dream?"
The Liboli man gradually stopped crying, lowered his head, and whispered: "I want to enter a sweet dream, and maybe I can see the captain and the others."
Are they all living in your imagination?
Zhou Jinru didn't say anything. He respected other people's choices.
"Say hello to them for me."
He had never dreamed in the dream world, and he didn't know what it felt like. When he took a short rest, he was just in a trance. For example, in the three days he continued to fight, the rest time passed in a flash, and he even closed his eyes and opened them. , a few hours passed quietly.
I don’t know how much time has passed in reality, but Kelsey hasn’t tried to wake me up yet. It seems that everything is still under her control.
The two parted in front of the ruling office, and Zhou Jinru walked into it alone. A few days ago, this place was empty, but now it has become a place where supplies are piled, and people are everywhere doing transportation work.
"Pioneer!"
"Look, the Pioneers are coming."
"Pioneer, do you need to eat?"
Zhou Jinru politely rejected the other party's kindness and walked straight to Seria's office. He saw several guards in front of the door.
As soon as he walked to the door, before he opened his mouth, he heard Ceria's voice coming from inside: "Come in."
When he opened the door, he saw a woman with a smooth back, who was getting dressed with her back to him.
A few minutes later, Ceria pressed the last button and turned around. For some reason, Zhou Jinru looked at those dark gold vertical pupils, as if his consciousness was about to be absorbed into them.
"The smell of blood and fire is very strong. Did you just walk off the battlefield?"
"The last subdivision is completely closed and there's only so much we can do."
Zhou Jinru came to his senses and said that he had no better way.
Ceria grabbed the cloak and wrapped it around her body, fastening the string: "Don't you want to know what a sweet dream is?"
"I had a nice dream, but it didn't end well."
Zhou Jinru recalled the dream he had when he was in Longmen. In the dream, Kelsey shyly expressed that he wanted to put him in formalin, but somehow it turned into a nightmare.
"Everyone has to face the cruelty of war. You in this world protect them so well."
Ceria walked up to the portrait of Helmer and stared at her lover's face: "It takes enough courage to hide in a sweet dream. Are you really ready?"
Zhou Jinru said categorically: "If we are going to die, we will die together."
"It seems you have made up your mind?"
"After all, I am the pioneer they call me, the pioneer who fights side by side with the Diamond Queen. Isn't this the result you want?"
Seria laughed. This was the first time she showed a smile in front of Zhou Jinru: "No wonder Ifrit likes you so much. Apart from Hemo, she listens to you the most."
"I miss her too. In my world, I have found your location. Rhode Island is approaching at an accelerated speed. I will protect her this time."
