Chapter 1866 The Glory of the World to the Sun (Seventy)
A few minutes later, everyone got on the truck leaving the 51st military facility. Although the Sphinx team came here to compete, this place is a military restricted area, and entry and exit are indeed not free.
What's more, the Sphinx suffered heavy casualties in this game, with some players entering vertically and exiting horizontally.
Sitting in his seat, feeling the discomfort caused by the metal seat and the bumpy road, Albert covered his seriously injured shoulder that had been bandaged, but his eyes fell on the few people in the truck.
Teammate lying on a stretcher.
Heavy casualties... seems to be an inappropriate word. There were many injured, many seriously injured, but no one died.
Despite this, the situation in front of Albert was still an extremely miserable situation.
Shaun, the cat-man boy lying there, has no arms. The arms were frozen starting from the part close to the shoulders, and then shattered. Now the broken pieces of meat can only be frozen and stored in containers to prevent necrosis.
, Sean's part starting from the shoulders is also wrapped in heavy bandages and temporarily frozen with ice. It is estimated that he cannot move easily until the two arms are operated on. The cat boy with an oxygen mask on his face
But he seemed to have fallen asleep peacefully, which was of course the effect of deep anesthesia.
Another main player of the Sphinx team, the leopard man Phileos, was not much better. It should be said that Phileos' injury was the most serious, if it weren't for the fact that Phileos himself had a strong self-power.
Without the ability to heal, he probably wouldn't survive at all. Leopard Man Phileos used his whole body to block the opponent's attack, and as a result, he suffered extremely severe freezing damage. His chest was all injured by freezing, and
Broken. In fact, Philaeos's chest was completely shattered. His entire body was divided into the part above the neck and the part below the abdomen. The chest and shoulders that were broken into countless pieces were also stored in some kind of container.
To prevent necrosis, the remaining parts of Phileos' body were completely immersed in some kind of simple life-support device (similar to a giant blood bag) to prolong life. Whether he can be revived is still unknown.
Center forward Gusta was not much better. Although the freezing damage to his chest was not as serious as that of Phileos, the flesh on Gusta's chest was all cracked. It was a serious injury that could see the ribs.
It was as if he had been dug out a piece of flesh by some kind of terrifying monster's claws. Although Gusta is the strongest in the entire team, his self-healing ability is far not as powerful as Phileos. To this extent
Serious injuries are still very dangerous. Lying on a stretcher, blood is still pouring out even though his chest is covered with bandages. The dying tiger-man Gusta can't help but make people worry.
Then, as a hidden flag in the Second Army, the condition of Leopard boy Elliot was not much better. He really broke his leg this time, and his too strong leg power forced him to sprint for a long distance.
The result was that all the muscles and bones in his legs were shattered and exploded. Albert didn't know how it worked, but he knew that Elliot's injury was almost fatal. Even if it could be cured, it would be difficult to survive in the future.
How long it will take to walk, only God knows.
Every one of them is like this.
He uses his body as a consumable just to let this team win the game and to satisfy the interests of the Sphinx behind this team.
Albert was also injured on his shoulder, but his injury could be said to be force majeure. It was an unexpected incident during the game that caused this kind of injury to his shoulder.
The other players of the Sphinx team are just the opposite. They know that they will be injured or even die from it, but they still do things that hurt themselves without hesitation.
The players of the Sphinx team are too poisoned. For the sake of Father Sphinx, they can choose to die on their own.
It was this that made Albert feel very unhappy.
Where is Mutt? Albert suddenly realized something, so he turned around to check on the condition of the cat-man boy Mutt.
"Huh." The cat boy who had just taken off his insulated gloves was breathing into his hands.
"Are you okay?" Albert asked with concern.
"No, it's okay, my fingers are just a little frozen." The cat boy replied, and continued to rub his hands a few times. He had been wearing insulated gloves to grab the ball with his opponent, although in the process of grabbing the ball,
It was only indirectly exposed to the coldness of the Bose condensate, and it was protected by insulated gloves, but part of the cold air seemed to still penetrate the surface of the ball, and then through the insulated gloves, eroding the fingertips of the cat-man boy. Mu
The pink fleshy balls on the special kitten's paws were so cold that they turned a bit blue and swollen.
"When did it start?" Seeing this, Albert couldn't help but widen his eyes with excitement: "Since the first time I grabbed the ball, my fingers were so cold that it hurt? So, you have been enduring it?"
"It's nothing. I couldn't feel anything at first. I didn't even know my fingers were frostbitten. And...it's not very serious, right?" The cat boy slapped his little palm again.
Tone: "Hey, it stings a little bit."
"Hmm------" Veins began to pop out from Albert's forehead: "That's right, you didn't realize it during the game, and you didn't realize that your fingers were frostbitten until after the game. That's good.
"
"But it's true..." the cat boy muttered.
"Okay, no need to say it." Albert interrupted. He knew that it would be useless to continue talking to Mutt. Mutt would definitely deny it.
For Daddy Sphinx, this kind of thing is nothing.
At the same time, the truck transporting the team members also stopped, probably arriving in front of the sand ship at the port.
"Okay, everyone, hurry back to the sand boat. Pay special attention when carrying the wounded." Captain Shiloma ordered.
Suppressing his anger, Albert followed the other team members out of the car. Then he couldn't bear it anymore and his temper suddenly broke out: "I'm sorry, I can't go back with you. I...I have to go."
."
Hiloma frowned: "What? Do you plan to go back to Egypt alone from here?"
"Yes." Albert looked at Captain Hiloma with a sullen face: "Don't wait for me, you can go back to Egypt on a sand boat. I can't stay with you anymore. If I continue to stay together, I guess I will
vomit."
"Why are you------" Foxman Redlich just wanted to dissuade Albert.
"Shut up, I don't want to hear it." Albert said angrily.
Words can't actually express the anger and frustration that Albert feels in his heart at this moment. But if he doesn't use his clumsy mouth to say what needs to be said, he probably won't be able to let it go.
"I don't care what your reasons are, all you do is make me sick. You are a group of lunatics who are willing to sacrifice everything as long as you can win the game. You are a group of lunatics who are willing to sacrifice everything as long as you can repay Father Sphinx.
Madmen whose lives can be sacrificed. Sacrificing one's life to repay kindness seems to be a very noble act, but I still can't agree with it.
So, I don’t have anything to say to you, so let’s just say goodbye.”
"Mr. Albert..."
"Wake up. The Sphinx just treats you as a pawn that can be sacrificed at any time." Albert did not listen to Mutt's dissuasion, but replied: "You can die for him. But
Even if you were dead, he probably wouldn't even frown.
I don't care what you have experienced before, or how much favor he has given you. I only know that no matter how great the favor is, it is not worth giving away the life you finally recovered.
------You have to cherish yourself, little fool."
After saying that, Albert walked away without looking back, walking from the outer wall of the 51st Military Restricted Area along the endless desert.
Yes, for Albert, he doesn't care at all about the other players in the Sphinx team. But Mutt is another matter. Leaving aside the fact that Mutt may be Ruf's brother,
Even though Mutt and Luffy had no blood relationship, the bond between Albert and Mutt was already too deep, and he couldn't bear to watch the cat-man boy die like this without doing anything.
Mutt's life was his own. Whether he wanted to die or live, it all depended on Mutt's own will. Albert had no way to change the cat-man boy's mind.
All he could do was argue with the Sphinx people here and blame them. He thought that this would make Mutt reflect.
Next time, maybe, when Mutt wants to sacrifice himself for the victory of the Sphinx team, this stupid cat boy will hesitate for one more second because of what Albert did today.
"Wait, don't do this--" Albert hadn't gone far yet, and Mutt, who had recovered from his daze, wanted to chase him.
"Don't chase." The fox man Redlich stopped him: "Since the concepts are different, we can't force him to accept it. Just let him calm down."
"But!......"
"What's the point of following you? To persuade him to come back? To make him agree with our approach? It's useless."
This was the only sentence that the cat boy could not refute. Some conflicts could never be reconciled.
Redlich sighed and continued: "Don't you still know what the situation is outside now? Both of your heads are being targeted by our opponents, and they are always trying to take your lives. If only
If he is alone, he may be able to take care of himself. But if you follow him, not only will you not be able to help, but you will become a burden to him."
"But, I can't just let him wander around the border of Angola?!" Mutt said urgently: "What should we do if he is attacked by assassins? He is still injured!"
"He will be fine." Hiloma said calmly, seeming to have other plans.
At the same time, Albert, who had already walked far outside the military base, saw a group of people from a distance. Because it was particularly conspicuous, Albert easily recognized a tall figure among the group of people.
.
That man was none other than Father Sphinx's business rival, gang boss Seth.
