Xu Lu slowly turned around and looked directly at Duan Moyan, her eyes bursting with enthusiasm: "Jingzhu, my words were too extreme just now, and I apologize to you. In fact, Xie Li's pursuit of you is like a moth flying towards you.

Huo, I know him too well, he will never give up until he dies. So, can you give him a chance?"

Duan Moyan: "No."

Xu Lu came closer, with an eager look on her face: "I know that originally the Imperial Capital was holding an exceptional Purifier Ceremony for you, and you would select a fiancée at the ceremony. In this case, can you also give him a chance?

He's no worse than any of those candidates."

This is Xu Lu's 100% habitual thought of "my pig is the best pig in the village". She didn't know why she was filled with indignation just now. Now she will turn into a matchmaker in a second, hoping to sell her pigs.

The corners of Duan Moyan's mouth twitched and she said righteously: "Actually, you misunderstood Dr. Xu. I originally just planned to randomly choose a friend to delay the meeting. I had no intention of actually getting married, so I couldn't talk about thanking him.

I’ll give you a chance to talk about it.”

Duan Moyan said sternly: "You don't want to be forced into marriage, and neither do I. If you say this to me now, doesn't it make you the person I hate the most?"

"Your violent methods may be able to save the temporary consequences, but in the long run, Chenxi will only be a rebel organization that is trying to help others, not the true rising sun. When the forces at both ends of the scale are unbalanced, what can be done to disintegrate the enemy?"

Xu Lu was stunned for a moment. She looked away and seemed to have figured it out. Her expression was relieved for a second: "I'm sorry, I understand."

Duan Moyan nodded and left with satisfaction.

After a while, Sister Mary came over and asked, "Doctor Xu, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Lu also looked at her back: "I found that Master Jing is a man of great wisdom."

"Huh? Who blamed her just now?"

"I was stupid," Xu Lu turned around and left slowly, "It's just that her path will be difficult."

The Council may need a Purifier, but when she tries to break the rules, they won't need one anymore.

"I can't think of anyone else who could be worthy of such a person." Xu Lu said.

The Sherry pig in my village is pretty tough too.

Shirley took Bart and others to Sansa City. The location was not far or near, and it would take two days to take the sky rail back and forth.

During this period of time, it was rare that no one was around her. Duan Moyan could finally calm down and explore this secret town organized by Chenxi.

Perhaps due to the natural favor of her gender, she quickly became involved with the women in the town.

"In fact, every time the Dawn organization starts a war in a city, X will secretly protect the civilians." Sister Mary said, she was weaving fabrics with a kind of rope.

"You know, there are always some gangsters who will burn, kill and loot in the name of the Dawn Organization. They are very annoying. Xie Li often fights with them."

"We never harm women, the elderly and children." Sister Susan on the side said, "I once saw the Chenxi organization destroy a human trafficker's den and rescued many children, including several girls."

"Abducting girls?" Duan Moyan was shocked. Even the criminals in District 12 would try their best to protect her. What kind of crazy gangsters could do such a thing.

At this time, a man working on the side explained: "There are many profit-driven underground dens that specialize in abducting and selling children at the borders of various cities. If they are boys, they will be sold to factory assembly lines to work as coolies. Of course, the most popular ones are girls.

Children, but girls are usually closely watched by their families, and they use various means to abduct them."

"If we can get a girl with a higher genetic purity, the buyers in the black market can get sky-high prices." The man had an angry expression on his face, "These people are the cockroaches in the corner, the real devils who have abandoned humanity.

, no man will sit idly by and ignore this kind of thing, and even risk my life to destroy this group of traffickers."

Most of the other workers had a similar attitude. They were scolding each other. Duan Moyan could easily see from their words the hatred that ordinary people have for human traffickers, especially in this country where there are many men and few women.

A world where women are as precious as pearls almost stabs a knife into people's hearts.

On the third day after Xie Li left, Duan Moyan heard the news from Xu Lu. He seemed to have integrated a batch of remaining military and ammunition stocks from Sansa City and transported them back to reduce Chenxi's losses. You must know that Sansa City

There were many troops stationed there, God knows how he got out.

It was also on this day that Duan Moyan saw outsiders entering the town for the first time.

It was a large team, not very neat, and there were no rules. The leader was a middle-aged man, who was talking to Robert, the chef in the town. Behind him, many male workers were pushing carts.

, the car is filled with supplies, often packed in sacks. It is worth mentioning that there are also many child workers in the team, all of them boys.

This team is here to sell food.

There are not many people in the safe house organized by Chenxi who specialize in agriculture, and the crops they grow are not enough for everyone to eat for a year, so the day of buying food every year is one of the rare times in the year when the safe house does not have an electromagnetic barrier.

On this day, all weapons, fighter jets, and mechas were hidden. A few chickens and dogs occasionally ran between the houses in the town. From the outside, it looked like a normal pastoral village.

Duan Moyan was forced to stay in the church with many aunties. Because there were too many people around her, it was very difficult to escape.

The team transporting grain and grass moved very slowly, and the leading man seemed to want to talk to the people in the organization. After a while, they arrived at the open space next to the church, where several young adults were already standing ready to take over.

"Put the things here." Old Robert, who acted as the mayor, wiped his hands on his apron. He was still thinking about the bread in the stove, so his tone was a little urgent. "After delivering the food, you can leave.

"

"Okay, okay." Yves urged the workers behind him to move the goods, his eyes darting left and right.

No matter when, businessmen have the sharpest sense of smell. Although Yves has no evidence, he always feels that the town in this valley is a bit strange. They always ask for a lot of food and spend generously. The most important thing is - they

The mayor does not look like a normal mayor at all.

While the men were carrying the sacks, the women were sitting indoors and talking quietly. Duan Moyan looked at the group of poor workers through the window. Their ages ranged from 10 to more than 40 years old, and their faces were full of vicissitudes of life. Except for the leader,

That man and most of the other workers were wearing rough clothes, gray or blue linen overalls. Their shoes and trousers were splashed with mud and water. It seems that they passed through a lot of rainy areas during their trek.

The boys who worked as child laborers were only eleven or twelve years old, and they were just growing up. Their stature and malnutrition made them look like elongated firewood sticks. When they were holding up the sacks, she always thought

Their bodies will bend, but they will hold on tenaciously every time.

Duan Moyan's eyes passed over these teenagers and saw the large and small wounds on their hands.

"Are they also abducted children?"

"No, most of them come out to work early because their families are poor."

"Yves is a stingy man who even hires underage workers."

Duan Moyan's eyebrows tightened, and in the next second, Yves, who was scolding a child worker, suddenly raised his head, as if sensing something, he suddenly turned back to look at the window covered by the curtains, and his eyes met Duan Moyan's.

.

Although Robert quickly blocked his way, he certainly saw the girl in the room.

"You actually have women here..." Yves stuttered. In such a remote place, there is no way there are young women.

Yves took two steps forward to take a closer look, but Robert and others immediately stopped him. They were no longer in the mood to talk properly, and their faces darkened: "We have received the goods, it's time for you to leave."

"No, I have to ask clearly...well." Yves' mouth was covered. Facing the people of the Chenxi organization who had gone through heavy training, he had no ability to resist.

When other workers saw the foreman being dragged roughly out of the town, they had no reaction at all, and no one chose to rescue him. Soon, after a lot of noise, the team transporting food left the town.

After the electromagnetic barrier was reset, no one from outside could get inside. Duan Moyan walked out of the church and heard people still talking about the team selling food just now.

"We can't let them come next time."

"Even if he tells it, others will just think he is crazy."

The sacks containing grain were piled in the open space of the church. Because the sacks were crude, a lot of grains leaked onto the ground. By the time of dinner, the grains had not been cleared away, so everyone had to set up a table on the ground nearby to eat.

The Chenxi organization was very united, and everyone ate together. People chatted enthusiastically about what they had seen during the day. Duan Moyan was the only one sitting at the top to dine alone. It was quiet around her, and an empty chair was placed aside.

.

The mushroom soup in the bowl was very hot. She stirred it twice with a spoon, tore off the bread and ate it with a dip. After taking a few bites, she suddenly heard something moving in the grass beside her.

Hare?

Duan Moyan was suspicious for a while, but after a while the sound rang again. The expected hare did not appear. Instead, there was a hand, which was covered with scars. It suddenly stretched out from the grass and took it away quickly.

Two pieces of dry bread on the table.

Duan Moyan reflexively touched the dagger at her waist - but it was empty. She didn't see clearly until the sound of chewing came from the grass -

Those were two boys.

They seem to be the two youngest people in the labor team during the day. They broke away from the team at some point and have been hiding in the town until now. Because they are too thin, no one noticed them even when they were hiding in the bushes.

Everyone who was dining stopped their movements, everyone was dumbfounded and speechless.

Old Robert stood up suddenly, his face was not very good, and he took two quick steps to grab the two children from the bushes. However, they barely struggled because they were too thin and small, and they looked like two lambs in Old Robert's hands.

At this moment, Duan Moyan, Xu Lu, and even all the women in the organization were gathered around the table to eat. The secrets of the Chenxi organization were also exposed. The mecha was still in the field, and the two boys were talking with them with their heads hanging down.

They looked at each other timidly, not feeling at all that they had witnessed some shocking secret.

Duan Moyan pondered for a while, and several hypotheses quickly appeared in his mind. Will the Dawn Organization kill them? Or will they be imprisoned in the town for life?

And during these ten seconds of silence and tension, she noticed that the youngest child had been looking at her, with little lights in his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

A lazy voice broke the suffocating atmosphere.

Duan Moyan turned around suddenly and saw a tall and straight figure walking against the light not far away. Shelly suddenly appeared, followed by Bart and others. They drove in a civilian truck and were pushing boxes of boxes out of the carriage.

The cargo must contain weapons salvaged from Sansa City.

Everyone seemed very happy, and they gathered around the truck to help Bart unload the goods. Suddenly no one was eating, and only Duan Moyan, Robert Sr., and the two children were left on the dining table.

Shelly walked slowly over. He glanced at the two boys standing aside who were still scrambling to swallow the bread even though they were being carried by old Robert, and he automatically chose to ignore them.

He looked dusty and dusty with every step he took. He casually took off his coat, which was stained with blood and sand, and threw it on the ground.

When he got closer, Duan Moyan could clearly smell the man's breath again. The smell of sweat and fireworks were wrapped in exponentially increasing hormones, forcefully encroaching on her safe distance. Duan Moyan turned sideways and wanted to leave the table.

, a hand gently pressed her shoulder, allowing her to sit safely in her position again.

At the same time, Shelly lowered her head and took away the half piece of bread left on her plate.

Duan Moyan: "...That's what I've eaten before!"

"Robert, your cooking skills have improved again." Shelly sat next to her, tilting his head and looking at her with a smile, "It's delicious."

Duan Moyan:...suffocated.

Robert was indifferent to the praise. He said with a white face: "X, these two children were my negligence. I didn't notice that they were hiding in the town. What should I do?" He knew very well that if the safe house was exposed and destroyed,

It is not just his own life, it will be the life of everyone.

Xie Li yawned and rested his chin with his palm: "What else can we do? Find two families to foster her and assign them study tasks. If they can pass the assessment, they will stay."

This answer obviously surprised Robert Sr., and he took a long time to respond: "Oh, okay!"

The two boys were taken away. Duan Moyan saw them being taken into the house by several adults. Then a warm light came on inside, and there were people moving under the light. He thought they were safe.

Shelly tilted his head and looked at her from the beginning to the end: "Why, have you changed your mind about me?"

Duan Moyan turned around and said seriously: "I do have doubts about the Chenxi organization. I thought you would kill them."

Xie Li smiled half-heartedly, and his handsome facial features were especially charming at night, like a seducing goblin in the dark night: "Children are the future of society. You can never know what kind of person a child will grow into in ten years. One step at a time, heaven, one step at a time.

hell."

"Is that why you arrest those criminals who abduct children?"

"Criminals are just the product of maximizing social malice, and no special means are needed to eradicate them. The toxins that boil frogs in warm water are what erode people's nerves bit by bit. The vigilance, scrutiny, competition, and thinking that normal humans need to have,

These keen senses have died in the day-to-day exposure to jewelry and candies. If no one steps forward to peel off that ugly skin, the world of all women will be distorted in a few years."

The smile on Shelly's face gradually faded, "Praising and killing has never been a part of normal human life. If necessary, let me be the villain and let me bear the scolding."

"In this barren land, you are the last rose. Now, it's time for you to rest."

Duan Moyan was thinking about Xie Li's words that night. She felt that whether it was the deformed social order or the seemingly prosperous situation of women, everything needed a knife to pry open the seal.

She wanted to be that knife.

The two labor boys quickly settled in the Chenxi Organization and started living a normal life.

In this world, due to the abnormal gender ratio of the population, boys have to bear more heavy physical labor since childhood. Coupled with unfair social status, if they are people living in lower-class areas, it is impossible for some men to marry women.

The next generation can only be continued by replacing the uterus.

A single father raises a single son, and the son of a worker still becomes a worker, day by day, year by year, further exacerbating the imbalance between men and women.

The same is true for these two people. Their fathers are both laborers, and after their death, their sons inherit the work of their elders. One is named Locke, and the other is named Nellie. They are both fifteen years old, but they look about the same as twelve or thirteen.

The two boys are very capable. They work with the men in the organization in the morning, and in the afternoon they help the women with farm work, doing everything from weeding and fertilizing. The small town in the valley soon became transformed because of the appearance of the children.

Be cheerful.

Duan Moyan also often found scarecrows set up in wheat fields and flowers placed on the windowsill in the early morning.

She held a broom and stood in front of the church to clean the square covered with leaves. Autumn came quietly, and the ground was covered with a layer of golden feather-like leaves. Her broom swept over and made a rustling sound.

.

"Miss..." A timid voice came from behind.

Duan Moyan turned around and saw one of the boys standing a few steps away from her. He had already put on new clothes, his hair was washed, and his big eyes were particularly bright on his thin, dark face. But in his case

Behind her, another boy stood further away, both of them cautiously looking at her eagerly.

"Miss, please let me help you with your work." The boy clenched his clothes tightly with both hands. It seemed that it was his first time talking to a young woman, and his face turned red when he opened his mouth. However, he still managed to hold his head high and chest up to make himself look more attractive.

Be more convincing and say, "Please believe me, we can do a good job."

Duan Moyan looked at the nervous expressions of the two people, and then looked down at the broom in his hand.

Perhaps it was the brief silence that changed the atmosphere. The two boys' faces gradually turned pale. Just when they were almost ashamed, Duan Moyan finally spoke: "Then I'll trouble you, Locke and Nellie."

"yes!"

Her smile made the boys so happy. They took her broom as if they had received some imperial edict, and jumped three feet high. The two of them chased each other in the square covered with fallen leaves. Their laughter could be heard even from a distance.

hear.

Duan Moyan sighed. She turned her head and found Xie Li under the eaves. The latter was leaning against the wall with a faraway look. He stood there quietly for who knows how long.

Duan Moyan raised her eyebrows: "What are you looking at?"

With a piece of grass in his mouth, Shelly said lazily: "You are always very popular."

"Then?"

He walked over with long legs, stopped in front of her and looked down at her.

"Then, I was just thinking, how can I make you look at me more."

Duan Moyan turned away: "Boring."

She wanted to walk away, but Shelly walked a few steps closer to her, lowered his voice and begged: "Don't go, do you want to see the training ground organized by Chenxi? I ​​can guide you. You know, I rarely teach."

Human.”

Duan Moyan frowned. Although she was not interested in Xie Li, she did want to know more about the Chenxi organization, so she nodded and followed him into a mysterious building.

The entrance to the training ground is right in the grain pile of the warehouse. After setting aside the aroma of various grains, no one expected that there would be a complete tactical field behind the door.

There are two floors here. The mecha pilots on the first floor are practicing their control accuracy. These steel giants consume a lot of energy and their movements are also very intense. The mechas can easily leave several huge footprints on the ground as they go.

.

There were many people watching, shouting and applauding.

"Horace, can you do it? Are you dancing?"

"Hurry up and take my place."

"Look, that's..."

Duan Moyan stood on the stairs from the first to the second floor and turned to look at the training ground. Almost all the young men who were watching turned their eyes over, and even the two mechas also moved randomly, spinning in place.

Jump with eyes closed.

"Let's go." Xie Li called from the front, and Duan Moyan immediately followed.

The eyes of the boys on the field followed her all the time. When the figure entered the door and could no longer be seen, they sighed in regret.

"Hey, I really want to talk to her more." A younger boy said.

The people next to him laughed at him: "Are you serious? I will tear you alive."

Climbing up the iron stairs, you will find various individual training grounds on the second floor. Most of the young people in the town are gathered here. They are sweating profusely, some are running on the equipment, some are practicing in pairs, and even

There are also classified training rooms for different weapons in different areas, and the shouts and shouts are endless.

Duan Moyan looked around and saw that the cold weapons were mainly various swords and stabbing sticks, hot weapons such as handguns, sniper rifles, and rifles. The arsenal of Chenxi's organization once again set a new limit for her.

, their strength is really strong.

Shelly stopped at the door of an empty practice room and took off his coat. He wore a gray T-shirt today, which hung tightly around his body, revealing his perfect muscle lines, showing flamboyance from the collar and arms.

The scorpion tattoo simply adds a murderous look to his person.

Duan Moyan looked at him warily, but Xie Li smiled playfully.

"The highest military rank in the Federation is the Commander of the Three Armed Forces, the Deputy Commander of the Assault Battalion of the Hunting Corps, one of the three Senate Presidents of the Parliament, and the Commander of the Federal garrison. These four people occupied all your sight in the past... Let me see them all.

What did I teach you?"

"Now, use everything at your disposal to defeat me."

After saying that, Shelly turned around and exposed all his flaws to her without hesitation.

His posture was leisurely, and Duan Moyan stared at the man's broad shoulders for a while before digesting what he just said.

defeat him?

She took a few steps forward and carefully selected the weapons displayed on the wall. During this time, the other men in the training room stopped moving, walked over and quietly gathered around them, as if

Get ready to watch a cross-century battle.

Under the spotlight of everyone, Duan Moyan looked serious. She was not nervous at all, but others were worried for her.

"Even if x is my idol, if he dares to hurt the lady, I will fight him to the death."

"If the situation gets out of control after a while, the two of us will rush forward to stop him."

"Is it enough for two people?"

Regardless of the comments from others, Duan Moyan stood motionless behind Xie Li. She looked at his idle posture, weighed it over and over in her mind, and finally clenched her fist silently.

In the next moment, Duan Moyan flew towards Xie Li like an arrow from the string. She rushed behind him, turned around and launched a neat side kick with 100% strength.

There was a sound of "Bang——", and the wind was kicked out of the shoes. According to normal logic, most people would fall to the ground and be unable to stand up after being hit by this, but Shelly was as motionless as a stone.

Duan Moyan glanced at his leg in shock. Did she kick the iron plate?

Shelly turned around and grinned: "The foundation of free fighting is quite solid."

Duan Moyan instantly stepped back and distanced herself. Her brows twitched, and she stopped her contemptuous thoughts. She pulled out the military thorn from her thighs with both hands almost at the same time, and quickly attacked Xie Li.

Weapons such as military spurs are light and sharp, do not reflect light, and are not eye-catching. They are actually very suitable for women's combat equipment. However, Duan Moyan's flexibility is almost useless in front of Xie Li, and every attack she makes will be blocked by him.

, and it seems to be quite easy.

"Leng Weapon has learned quite a lot. Judging from your attacks, you should have practiced for at least five years." Xie Li's face was filled with unexpected surprise, and even a bit of surprise. He intercepted her weapon casually, and Duan Moyan broke free

After a few attempts, he didn't let go, so he gritted his teeth and stepped on him hard.

He repeated the same trick, and immediately there was half a footprint on his shoe. Xie Li subconsciously hissed. At this moment, Duan Moyan slipped out a short blade from his cuff, and with a flash of silver light, he drew a short blade in the air.

Beautiful arc.

She was not originally aiming at the man's vitals, but Shelly's subconscious reaction was very quick. At the moment of her movement, he bent down slightly, and the dagger in her right hand narrowly missed his hair.

A few strands of snow-white hair floated slowly to the ground.

There was silence.

Almost all the men watching were stunned. Who could cut off X's hair? In the few moments just now, they should be the ones who need to be saved.

Xie Li was a little surprised by Duan Moyan's almost unstructured combat skills. It was not something that could be taught by those few people, and without several years of experience in actual combat, he could not achieve this level.

He became more and more curious about her. The playfulness on Shelly's face disappeared, and he spread his legs in a defensive posture. His whole temperament changed almost instantly, and he became serious.

Duan Moyan did not dare to underestimate the enemy, she was ready to fight.

With the dagger in his palm, the ring knife on his cuffs, the iron whip on his waist, and the shark knife in his boots, Duan Moyan almost used all his special skills.

However, Xie Li clearly did not have any weapons in his hands, but he was able to resist all her attacks calmly, and even gradually gained the upper hand in battle after battle.

The blow missed, and her wrist was firmly restrained. Shelley pinched it at an unknown part, and her fingers suddenly slipped away. He easily took away the shark knife and threw it on the ground.

"Anything else?" Shelly smiled.

Duan Moyan glared at him, tapped her toes on the ground, and once again distanced herself from him at a very fast speed.

The two of them looked at each other across the cold weapons on the ground, while the men watching nearby were so surprised that they did not dare to make a sound, and they all stared wide-eyed for fear of missing a second.

Duan Moyan took two deep breaths to stop her hands from shaking, and then she slowly took out the last hidden weapon from her waist - a small silver hand gun.

"This time it's shooting." Shelly looked at her movements and said calmly.

Duan Moyan didn't show any signs of defeat. She was breathing steadily, straightening her arms, and pointed the gun straight at the right side of Shelly's chest. Even her eyes were calm without any waves.

Looking at her, Shelly's face gradually turned ugly. He no longer stood lazily, but suddenly ran towards her with all his strength.

"Bang -" When the gunshot fired, a small smoking hole was left on the wall behind Shelly.

He stopped in front of him, the smile on his face became more sinister: "You are using Jing Yi's usual shooting posture."

It was that person who taught her.

"Yes, but I'm not good at school yet." So I missed.

Shelly's eyes darkened.

"Being soft-hearted," he slowly took the gun away from her fingers and threw it on the ground, "is your fatal wound."

Duan Moyan raised her head and looked at him: "Then I should have aimed at your heart just now."

Shelly curled his lips and smiled. He held her fist and pressed it against his chest: "It's already yours."

"..."

Shelly drove away all the people watching nearby, leaving only Bart to clean up the garbage on the floor.

Xie Li seemed to be unintentionally sarcastic: "It seems that the high-level talents sought after by thousands of people in the imperial capital are nothing more than this."

Duan Moyan rolled her eyes at him: "Then don't fight me. Do you dare to confront them head-on?"

Shelly touched her head and narrowed his eyes: "Of course I dare."

He turned his back and took a few steps forward: "I can teach you anything they can, and what I want to give you is the technique of killing."

Duan Moyan frowned.

She saw Shelly picking from the weapon rack on the wall, and finally took out a ring. It was an obsidian ring. The gems on the ring were very low-key and glowed in the sunlight.

Shelly tried to put the ring on her.

Duan Moyan shrank his hands, alert: "What are you doing?"

Shelly grabbed her and pushed the ring forcefully to the end of her ring finger. It looked like a wedding ceremony: "You have to keep it and remember not to leave it at any time. My scorpion venom is stored in it. Then

This is not an ordinary poison. Even the most powerful person in the world has no power to resist."

What?

Duan Moyan carefully observed the ring on her finger. It was simple and simple in shape, and there was no hidden mystery.

Until Xie Li stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the pattern next to the ring holder, a dark poisonous needle suddenly popped up in front of the ring. The needle was only one centimeter long, but it gave off a dangerous and deathly light.

"You don't need me to teach you how to use it, right?" Shelly said with a smile, "When the situation is critical, use the ingenuity in your little head to get close to the enemy. As long as the poisonous needle touches the opponent's skin,

I can guarantee that he will be paralyzed within three seconds."

"If it is stabbed directly, it can guarantee instant death. If it is mixed with water, it can poison about a hundred adult men."

These words were so terrifying that Duan Moyan was stunned for a long time. This time she didn't even dare to move, as if she was holding some restricted nuclear or explosive bomb.

"I can't accept such a valuable thing." She shook her head.

Shelly took back the poisonous needle and held her fist: "It can protect you in times of danger. I can take away your dagger and gun today, and so can others."

His eyes were light.

Although it is not a wedding ring, rounding it off, it means that he has been by her side.
Chapter completed!
