Chapter 40, Thousand Cranes
The car drove for four hours, but there was no zombie on the road. At the end of the road, the breath of multiple apostles soared into the sky, like a torch in the dark.
Everyone got out of the car, walked up a small hill, and looked down. The dark and dense dots filled the entire field of view.
From the periphery to the blockade line, the length reached an astonishing five kilometers. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and a lot of squirming blacks that kept squirming, even Li Lian felt a little numb.
"This number is so terrifying." He concluded, "Eurola, although I don't want to hit you, there is a difference between bravery and death." Li Lian reminded kindly.
Eurola frowned tightly. She was not a brainless person, so she naturally would not rush in directly, but it was too early to ask her to give up.
"Eric, try to contact the fortress, you can use a watch to put this distance?" she asked back.
"Yeah, no problem."
Eric buried his head in his high-tech watch in his hand. In addition to GPS, this thing also has the function of communication, but it is limited by volume and has a relatively short distance.
Soon, the phone went on.
"Hey, is it your Excellency Commander?" Eurola took the call.
There was a noise from the speaker, and after a long time, a breath came.
"His Excellency Knight Dawn, is there anything wrong this time?"
"We have arrived 7 kilometers outside the fortress. There are so many zombies. Can we inform us of the battle situation?"
"Well, as you can see, the form is very serious this time. The apostle who commanded these zombies was very...especially, he actually made a city-knocking hammer, carried by power-type apostles and mutant zombies, which poses a great threat to our blockade line!"
Eurola took out the telescope and saw that several metal plates near the fortress had been twisted and deformed. If the arc was larger, the zombies could get through it.
"I saw it, IMHO, you are in great danger now."
"Yes, we have killed the monsters that have lifted the city hammer for several rounds, but there are still new ones to carry. What they lack the least is the power-type mutant zombies." The commander sighed, "We could have used bombers to perform saturation bombing, but we have defended this way the previous few times. But this time... there is a very powerful sniper on the opposite side."
"Sniper?" Eurola asked in surprise.
"Yes, after our observation, he was an apostle using a sniper rifle. He directly exploded the fuel tank of the plane with one shot across three thousand meters. Now we dare not let the bomber take off at all."
"So that is, if this apostle with a sniper rifle can be solved, the situation of the battle will become beneficial to us?"
"Yes...but, the apostle hid deep in the zombie group and we couldn't attack."
"Tell us the coordinates of the apostle, and we will find a way." Eurola said decisively.
"This... can only depend on you. If the mission is successful, you will be the benefactor of the entire zg."
"It's just for humanity."
"Yes, for humanity!"
Narrow nationalism should also be let go when the overall survival of mankind is in danger.
"By the way, if we succeed, please be sure to send a plane to pick us up immediately."
"Of course, I will keep them ready at any time." The commander said affirmatively.
Eurola marked the location of the apostle on the electronic map of the watch. He was in the middle of the zombie group, more than 2 kilometers away from both sides.
Even if the distance is shortened by half, the danger is not reduced at all.
"Eurola, if you try your best, you can reach this distance, but there are too many accidental factors here. What if the apostle keeps moving? What if the plane does not come in time after the matter is done? Or, what if there is a very powerful apostle there?" Li Lian said immediately.
"Well, I have considered all these, so I will be the only one in this action." The girl raised her head and said with a smile.
"Captain, what do you mean by...?" Andrey was stunned.
"I'm not going to die. In fact, the key to the mission is to break through two kilometers as soon as possible and then kill the apostles as quickly as possible. At this point, it's not necessarily good to have too many people." She continued, "I'm still very confident if I only protect myself, so..."
"Enough." Eurola's words were interrupted by Li Lian. "Don't show off. Even if you tell the truth, it's too dangerous. What you are going to face may be more than ten apostles, and it's not enough to just go in."
"..." Eurola stared at Li Lian, as if he was dissatisfied.
Everyone was in a deadlock, neither going forward nor retreat until-
The sound of wings flapping, a figure fell from the sky.
"You guys are so slow, I'm so unfortunate that I've been waiting for an hour."
The man shook his head and sighed, constantly muttering his misfortune. The single wings wrapped themselves in it, and the feathers shining with metallic luster seemed to have amazing defense.
Li Lian quickly drew his sword in his hand, but his heart was filled with surprise, because he did not feel the aura of this man at all.
The next second, everyone showed even more surprised expressions.
The wings slowly unfolded, and under the protection of the wings, the two figures were slowly exposed to everyone's vision.
One is a little loli who looks about ten years old, with long black hair, bangs, no expression on her white porcelain face, and a pair of black eyes staring at everyone in vain.
The other one is an acquaintance, the doctor who just left a few hours ago - Sikong Yeyue.
"I said that we will see you soon." Ye Yue smiled slightly and said to Li Lian.
Li Lianwei thought for a moment, and then said solemnly, "I really didn't expect that there would be an apostle who could hide the breath of himself and others."
"Then I know now." Ye Yue admitted readily.
Yes, the doctor in this alliance, the woman named Sikong Yeyue, turned out to be an apostle with the ability to hide his breath.
While getting along, Li Lian always felt that she was a little incongruent, and many of her behaviors were like acting.
"Then, let's make a deal." Ye Yue took a step forward despite the hostility of everyone, gently pulled the little loli like a porcelain doll and said, "This is my sister. Please help me bring her to bj, and then take good care of her or help her find a good family in exchange-"
Ye Yue smiled gently and looked at the endless zombies under the hillside, "We can control some zombies to help you open the road. We can also help you fight. This way, we can save a lot of trouble."
This condition is very attractive.
but--
Is it really okay to trade with an apostle?
"How do you make us believe you?" Li Lian asked in the end.
"Sure enough, I'm very alert. What if I say it was the 'war ghost' who asked me to come?" Ye Yue said playfully.
"..." Li Lian remained silent.
"Half a year ago, I regained my consciousness and could resist 'that will' to a certain extent. So I found my sister and protected her. However, 'Amaterasu God' did not want us who could resist the order to live a life. So I sent a few apostles to kill us, and we finally couldn't escape. In the end, it was the war ghost who helped us escape to China. He mentioned you to me and said that I could come to you."
Li Lian was both angry and funny, so he had to say helplessly, "I don't remember being familiar with that 'war ghost' to the point where he could help."
The next time we meet will be a death fight. It is not too much to say that we are mortal enemies. The war ghost shamelessly asked an apostle to come to him for help?
Inexplicably... The image of a war ghost uncle grinning, revealing a mouthful of white teeth and a thumbs up in Li Lian's mind.
A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of my heart...
"If I don't believe it yet, I can tell the scene of the battle in the main market that the war ghost told me." Ye Yue continued.
"No need, I understand." Li Lian turned to look at Eurola and said hesitantly, "This apostle, huh... you can regard her as a traitor among the apostles, and it is unlikely that you can deceive us."
Eurola frowned. It was not that he didn't believe in Li Lian, but that he had never seen such an apostle who could have a complete self-consciousness.
"Well, cute ladies and powerful gentlemen, can we start attacking?"
At this time, the apostle with monolithic wings spoke, but it aroused unanimous suspicion from everyone.
Sikong Yeyue quickly explained, "Please believe him, he is...my...love." Sikong Yeyue said as if he was hesitant, his face turned red.
"Ahhhh! Xiao Yeyue, you finally admit me, I'm so excited! Come on, hurry up and throw yourself into my broad arms!"
"Bang"...
Ye Yue threw out a powerful whip leg, revealing the sad leggings at the moment when the hem of the skirt was lifted, and then clapped his hands, as if he was pinching a bed bug to death.
“Unfortunate…”
The apostle who fell five meters away, shook his head and muttered his catchphrase.
So everyone understood the relationship between the two.
——
Saeko didn't pay attention to their dialogue at all. Since the little girl who seemed to be a white porcelain doll appeared in her field of vision...
She squatted in front of the little loli with stars in her eyes and asked in a sweet voice.
"Little sister, what's your name? Tell my sister~"
The little loli looked up expressionlessly, with a hint of Li Lian's charm. She was stunned for two seconds, and then said in a delicate voice, "Qianhe."
"So it's Chizuru's little sister. It's a nice name. I like you very much~~"
No, Saeko was completely intoxicated by the light of the black loli, her cheeks were flushed, and her fingers subconsciously rubbed the little loli's face.
The skin is cool, as if it is really made of porcelain. The little loli named Qianhe exudes an inorganic feeling throughout her body, which is a typical three-no attribute.
When Li Lian saw Saeko turn to look at him, his resentful eyes made his heart thump.
"Okay, the deal is completed, we will protect Chizuru, and you must do your best to help us."
Finally, after consulting Eurola's opinions, Li Lian quickly made a decision.
——
So, a cute thing appeared.
Regarding the plot, you can guess that there are already many clues.
Chapter completed!
