Zhou Jinru was excited and shouted loudly: "Shi Huaiya!"

Shi Huaiya groaned: "I'm not blind!"

She grabbed Zhou Jinru's clothes, and the two of them rushed towards the coffee shop on the roadside. The window glass had long been shattered, making it easy for them to jump in at this time.

Shi Huaiya ran to the nearest bunker, which was a cupboard that had been pushed down, but Zhou Jinru picked up Miss Feilin by her collar, lifted her up, then hugged her with both hands, took three steps and two steps at a time, and climbed up. After reaching the second floor, he ran towards the window.

"what are you doing?!"

"It's just a few wooden boards, what can they block?!"

Zhou Jinru didn't have time to say anything more, he protected Shi Huaiya behind him, raised his hand and punched the wooden window, then squatted down and shouted without looking back: "Hold me tight!"

Shi Huaiya lost her sense for a moment, and without thinking much, she reached out and hugged Zhou Jinru from behind, pressing her face against his back.

"And legs."

"ah?"

Shi Huaiya felt her cheeks getting hot. She had never made such an intimate move with a man, but her reserve was quickly broken by the cruel reality. Something hit the outer wall of the cafe, and the entire building They were shaking violently, and bricks were even falling from overhead.

There is no other way, this is a last resort.

Shi Huaiya's heart skipped a beat, she exerted strength on her waist, wrapped her legs around Zhou Jinru's waist, and locked them tightly. Before she could take a breath, her whole body suddenly rose into the air, and she saw the man she was hugging rising from the sky. The window jumped out, and the two people flew in the air, pulled by gravity, and fell on the roof of a nearby house.

Zhou Jinru quickly scanned the nearby buildings. He did not return the same way, but ran in another direction. The bridge connecting the two regions was an important point of contention. Before one side was completely defeated, the commanders of both sides would not be there. Investing strength in unimportant places means that as long as Shi Huaiya is given time to resume her status as a family member, she will be safe.

After passing three houses in a row, Zhou Jinru's speed slowed down. He found that using subjective time delay with a person would greatly increase the energy consumption. If he continued running like this, he would be exhausted in a short time, not to mention that he was not completely exhausted yet. recover.

He turned over and fell from a patio, and jumped into the balcony below with Shi Huaiya to take a breather.

Shi Huaiya bit her lower lip, her face full of tangles. She wondered if she had done something wrong by chasing her. If it was just Zhou Zhou alone, it should be easier, but now with her, she was restricted in every way.

Zhou Jinru was sitting on the ground with his back against the wall. He raised his head inadvertently and looked at the cute expression of the little tiger. He couldn't help but smile: "Miss Shi, do you want to compensate me?"

"what do you want?"

Shi Huaiya thought, if it's just some compensation, that's not impossible.

Zhou Jinru exhaled a breath of hot breath, crossed his legs, and stared at Shi Huaiya: "I am not short of money. Shivaash's family has a lot of money."

"you……"

Shi Huaiya said only one word and then couldn't continue. The man in front of her was indeed not short of money. Looking at his straight eyes, could it be that what he wanted was...

She blushed and whispered: "No, your identity is just a male servant. My family will never agree. Even if you really want to, you must have a certain social status. Moreover, we must start from the most basic Start making friends."

"Miss Shi, that's not what I think."

Zhou Jinru was stunned when he heard this. He was just thinking about how to help Yelena, but the little tiger said so much that he didn't know how to respond.

"ah?"

Shi Huaiya was also stunned, her face turned pale. It turned out that what she just said was just self-centered, and the other party didn't think in this direction at all.

It's so embarrassing, so shameful, that she would say such a thing?

Shi Huaiya felt sad and ashamed. Her nose was sore and she almost cried. She felt tears welling up in her eyes.

"Miss Shi, it's too early to say this now. We are not out of danger yet."

In the distance, earth-shaking artillery fire came, interrupting Shi Huaiya's sadness. Her thinking stopped for two seconds, and she couldn't help shouting: "They actually used artillery in the city?!"

Zhou Jinru also heard clearly that it was indeed the sound of artillery. He didn't know which side took the initiative to use the artillery.

In addition to artillery, if the steam mecha is equipped with a heavy firepower module, it can also perform artillery attacks.

"Let's hide first and then find a way to send you back after calming down."

Zhou Jinru stood up and pushed the balcony door a few times. The door was locked from the inside and they couldn't get in.

Shi Huaiya frowned: "We don't have the key."

boom!

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Jinru raised his leg and kicked the door panel. The majestic force instantly broke the door lock, and the door opened to the two uninvited guests.

"Zhou, this is a home invasion!"

Facing Shi Huaiya's entanglement, Zhou Jinru opened his legs and walked inside: "If I don't take anything, it's not robbery. I will compensate for the damaged door lock."

This gangster logic plunged Shi Huaiya into chaos. On the one hand, she really needed a safe place, and on the other hand, she was violating national laws.

Zhou Jinru had no such concerns. He clearly realized that he was in a melodrama, and that the country's laws were being torn apart by battles between factions and the royal family.

They don't care about the life and death of civilians, plunge a region into a food crisis, openly use artillery in urban areas, and damage infrastructure.

If these things happen in the capital of a country, it can only mean that the dynasty is in decline. Zhou Jinru can no longer tell whether these things belong to Gaul, which has perished, or Victoria, which is splitting apart.

Entering the corridor from the balcony, there were portraits of people whose names Zhou Jinru couldn't recognize hanging on the whitewashed walls. He stretched out his hand to unscrew the nearest door and found that it was a study room. Most of the furniture was covered with white cloth. It was obvious that the owner Haven't been back for a while.

Shi Huaiya followed him, stood at the door and took a look inside the study, and said in surprise: "This is a study that can only be owned by a great noble. The furnishings and layout are all in the traditional aristocratic style. Whose home have we broken into? "

Zhou Jinru shook his head: "I don't know. If we don't turn this place upside down, we probably won't figure it out."

He had no intention of continuing to explore here, and turned to Shi Huaiya and continued: "Several houses we passed have been ransacked to varying degrees, and all valuables have been taken away, but this is an exception. Not only are they well preserved, , and no one dares to violate it.”

He silently added in his heart that this must be the home of an important member of the Jacobins. Only in this way can those who have fallen into madness regain some sense and take the initiative to avoid this place.

Shi Huaiya seemed to understand something: "Isn't it safe here?"

"This place is safe until the faction is completely defeated, but no matter which side the balance of victory tilts, this place will become very dangerous."

While he was speaking, two outsiders broke into his emotional perception. They not only entered the interior of the house, but also walked upstairs.

The house layout was clear, had a purpose, did not get lost, and did not commit any atrocities.

No way.

Zhou Jinru frowned. Is it such a coincidence that the owner of the house came back just after they came in?

He made a quiet gesture, and then pulled Shi Huaiya towards the study room, because the two unfamiliar sources of emotions were already coming up, and there was no time to get out from the balcony.

As early as when he entered the study, Zhou Jinru discovered the cupboard hidden by the fireplace. Although it was a little small, it was enough to hide two people. At this time, there was no better choice. The two got in, closed the door, and left only Next little gap.

The cupboard was dark and stuffy. Feeling the depressed Shi Huaiya burying her face in the man's chest, she subconsciously hugged him tightly, her mind buzzing.

Zhou Jinru didn't notice anything unusual about Shi Huaiya. In order to save space, he also hugged Shi Huaiya. He felt the girl in his arms trembling slightly, but he thought she was shaking because of nervousness.

After the two unfamiliar emotional sources went upstairs, they stayed where they were, neither moving forward nor entering the study immediately.

"After discovering that someone was intruding from the balcony, we remained vigilant. It seemed that it was really the owner of the house."

Zhou Jinru was thinking to himself, and he looked out through the gap in the cupboard door, trying to see the face of the person coming.





Adela was holding Wasim, and the weight of an adult man was pressing on her body, making her feel extremely heavy, but more than that, she was more worried about Wasim's bleeding wound.

After the faction meeting, they stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the department store and looked across to the Western District. No one expected that steam mechas would suddenly appear and attack across the bridge. More exaggerated things were yet to come.

"They actually used artillery! How dare they use artillery in the city!"

Wasim, who was covering his wound, was still reeling from the sudden attack that had just occurred. The bleeding made him feel cold and weak. He finally reached the temporary stronghold, only to find that it had been invaded.

Adela first placed Wasim at the entrance of the stairs, and searched carefully by herself, but found nothing. The thief who might have come in from the balcony had already left.

She turned back, helped Wasim into the study, and found the first aid box hidden in the dark under his guidance. What followed was the doctor's angry and disappointed roar.

Opening the first aid kit, Adela stood by the desk, ready to help Wasim treat his wounds. She whispered: "Doctor, those faction members who are still waiting and watching should be able to make up their minds now. If we can't change this country, the final The end is death on the gallows.”

Wasim coughed heavily and said weakly: "No, child, a heavy blow will not wake up those people. Instead, they will blame us. They always do this. If the king is willing to give them some benefits and pardon the death penalty, they will definitely take it." Take up arms and firmly become our enemy."

Adela stopped moving her hands: "How could this happen?"

"Too impatient, the factions have been too impatient during my absence," Wasim sighed. "We do not have the ability to launch a reform. My old friends have not even understood who we should be." If we fail to fight for something, we will definitely leave a mark on this era with our blood."

Adela held the wound medicine and gauze, half-crouched in front of Wasim, and looked at his hand covering the wound. Blood flowed from the wound, staining his fingers and the thorn ring red.

"Doctor, your wound..."

She saw a piece of iron stuck into the flesh, and it was this piece of iron that kept Wasim bleeding.

"Let me do it. I'm not too old to take care of myself. I'm a doctor. This can't be fake."

Wasim forced a smile, took the wound medicine and gauze from Adela's hand, and made a hissing sound because of the pain. In order to divert his attention, he continued: "Adela, you are an excellent child. , do you understand why I asked you to come here instead of retreating with the other members?"

Adela was silent for a few seconds and whispered: "Doctor, are you worried about a traitor?"

"Only two people know why I came here. One is you. You are right next to me and have no chance to leave my sight. The other... is an old friend of mine."

Zhou Jinru, who was in the cupboard, could hear their questions and answers clearly. He never expected that he would collide directly with the heroine Adela, and their previous target of prison robbery, Wasim. It seemed like a melodrama. During these five days of self-advancement, many wonderful plots happened.

Wasim was injured, his mobility was limited, and there was only a young girl by his side. If you wanted to take his life, now was the best chance.

Since he dared to make such a risky move, he must have a strong trump card, and he was also betting that the person he suspected would be fine.

What happened today was too coincidental. The factions happened to be meeting in the department store. The Western Region took advantage of the time to launch an attack and shelling. If it had not been for a fierce quarrel to vote in advance, the cannonball that destroyed the conference room would have achieved maximum results.

"Adela, what we see is not just the surface. We are the ones who are attacked, but the real ones who are injured are the royal family hiding in the palace of the Western Region. Ahem, you must be wondering why I said this. ?”

Hiding in the cupboard, Zhou Jinru thought silently in his heart that launching an artillery bombardment into the urban area would cause a large number of casualties among citizens, allowing more people who were watching on the sidelines to make judgments in their hearts. Now as long as the faction raises its flag and stands firm, it will truly last. The one who lost blood was the royal family who was strong on the outside and inept on the inside.

Shelling urban areas comes at a very heavy price.

"If I were a member of the royal family, I would definitely find a way to carry out a beheading operation. As long as important members of the faction die, the challenge launched by the faction will naturally collapse. This bait is so fragrant that even I will take the bait, so this is what Wasim is betting on. The reason is, is he a doctor or a gambler?"

Zhou Jinru would never be able to do this, and actually use his own life to test whether others are betrayers. This is not a werewolf killing. There is a witch to protect him after he jumps out to kill him.

In sitcoms, characters have only one life, and if they die, they are dead.
