Because of her mother, Jalina spent most of her childhood in the Land of Redemption and witnessed many things. Even among the people who gathered for survival, they were not happy inside. The strong ones always held the dominant position.
, the weak can only listen to instructions.
What surprised all of them was that the top managers of the Red Pirates voluntarily withdrew before they started to instigate a riot, but before they left, they also left behind terrible news.
Soon the empire will take over everything here, and they will continue to maintain the production methods here intact, and even control them more strictly.
And because most of them have already been involved with heretics, there is a high probability that they will be made into servitors and work in a simpler way. This is absolutely unacceptable to people who have been trapped underground for so long. Some of them are also trying to fight with the empire.
Communicate, but the result is disappointing. What the red pirates said is true, and the empire will not save them.
In the galaxy, it seems that only the Emperor can offer them salvation.
But before the Emperor's redemption came, they decided to resist, and this led to a brutal underground war.
After hearing this, Hayes was very surprised. He had never thought that the enemy they were desperately fighting, chasing, and killing would be like this. In fact, he also considered whether the other party was lying to him, but when he thought about it, he was a small soldier again.
What's there to lie about?
After the battle started, most of the civilians hid in the Land of Redemption, so Hayes and the others could not see a few people. Jialina sneaked up because there was really no food. Her mother was very weak, so she wanted to see what could be done on the ground.
I couldn't pick up some food, but I didn't expect to meet Hayes.
Because she grew up underground, her vision was relatively strong, and she could roughly see an outline even in the dark. She thought Hayes was an injured Imperial soldier, and planned to take the opportunity to kill him and see if there was anything to eat.
Of course, she herself hated the Imperial Army, because when the Red Pirates withdrew, her mother was very happy to tell her that she would be able to return to live under the sun soon, and that she would have a real future, but this
Everything is shattered.
"Well. Galina, you also do that for the food."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Hayes wanted to slap himself for asking such an idiotic and terrible question, but the other person just tilted his head.
"I have good eyesight, very flexible hands and feet, and I'm good at stealing. It's not necessary."
"Oh. Sorry, I always thought you were determined to follow the heresy."
"Do we look like idiots? They've all run away and we're determined to enslave our own people?"
Hayes scratched his head with a grimace.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to play a tune for you. Is this an apology?"
Jalina looked at him and blinked her big, clear eyes.
"You are such a strange guy. Are you still in the mood to sing at this time?"
"Then I think it will make you feel better."
"Well, let me listen."
Hayes took out the harmonica and started playing it gently, and the somewhat jerky tune immediately echoed in the small space.
While listening, Jialina rocked her body slightly and seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.
After a few minutes, Hayes put down the harmonica.
"Sorry, I'm not very skilled yet and it might not sound right."
Kalina shook her head gently.
"No, you are the second person, along with my mother, to bring me music. I like it very much. Thank you. What is it called?"
"It's called Little Boy."
Suddenly, Hayes thought of something and said carefully:
"Since the actual situation is like this, why don't you just stop fighting? Can you tell those people that as long as you surrender, nothing will happen to you. Our leader is a very good person, and he also likes me. I will find a way to get along with him.
Let’s talk about it.”
But Jalina didn't know so much inside information. When Hayes said this, her eyes lit up.
"Really? Can you really talk?"
"Yes. The leader always invites me to come every time a friend comes over, and introduces me to others with a smile."
Jialina hesitated for a while and said:
"Then I can only try. If others can't help you, can you protect my mother and me?"
"Uh, um"
Seeing the disappointment on the other party's face, Hayes nodded eccentrically.
"OK"
Jalina suddenly laughed, then she carefully moved her body, her shoulders were close to Hayes, and then she whispered:
"Then I'll go find my mother later and meet here later."
As she was talking, Hayes realized that the other person's face was very close to his, and he could feel the heat of her breath when she spoke. This caused many inappropriate images to flash through his mind, making his neck seem to be choked.
Generally, I don’t dare to turn around.
"Thank you, Hayes."
"Then, how do I get in?"
"Your comrades should come to you. Before leaving, I want to ask for another meal you just gave me. My mother has been hungry for a long time. She was not in good health before. If she doesn't eat something, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave.
to here."
What surprised Hayes even more was that the other party's hands actually started groping around his body, found the lock on the back of the armor, and unlocked it.
"Then that one isn't here. I'll give it to you. Why are you touching my belt?"
Putting Hayes' armor aside, Kalina kissed him gently on the cheek.
"This is as it should be. I can't take your things for nothing."
"No, no, no, I'll give it."
The next second, a pair of warm lips pressed against his mouth, and Hayes' head seemed to explode with a bang.
What happened next left him in a state of confusion, trance, impulsiveness and excitement, as if the two people had become two animals, completely dominated by instinct.
This was also the first time Hayes knew the difference between men and women.
He is no longer a boy.
Hayes didn't even come back to his senses until Kalina left, but his mind became much clearer and he realized that he might have lied.
These people are rebels and traitors. They have killed many of these people. These people have also killed many soldiers. The original reason is irrelevant at this time. The hatred between the two sides is the reality. This is by no means a sentence or two.
If the words can be eliminated, it must be difficult for them to trust the empire again.
And his promise to Jialina may also be difficult. If the political commissar or the priests find out about him, he may not end well, and his leader——
He hadn't seen the group leader for a while, and he wasn't sure if he still took him seriously.
The restless Hayes quickly put on his protective gear. Suddenly he was a little scared and wanted to discuss what to do with Uncle Hachet, or simply leave without looking back.
Suddenly, he felt something in the palm of his hand, which was given to him by Jialina before she left. It was a little angel she carved with blood diamonds. When she handed this thing to Hayes, she also called Hayes "
husband.
husband
Hayes never thought he would have a wife in a place like this, under such circumstances?
Maybe she was just doing this to escape?
Maybe this is just a lie, after all, how long have the two of them known each other?
If this is all false, then it doesn't seem to be a problem for him to leave the other party behind?
No, no, no, he can't do this.
Hayes, who was fighting between heaven and man, shook his head.
He agreed to the other party. Jalina must be very desperate when she suddenly behaves like this to an enemy or even a stranger. He may be her only hope.
But no matter what, the most important thing now is that he has to find a way to leave, but the only passage in this place is a small ventilation duct, and you have to crawl through it, and below is the place of salvation. Those people will definitely scream when they see him.
To kill, his only way out is to return the same way, but this seems a bit difficult——
"anyone there?"
Suddenly, a faint voice came from above. When Hayes heard it, it was Winter's voice.
