city ​​of the end

Chapter 29 Waiting
It's getting late.

Complete darkness once again enveloped the entire world, and the harsh searchlights illuminated the camp in front of them from all directions.But this did not make the "Emperor" feel any better. He stood motionless in the camp, staring at the small building in front of him. Even under the illumination of the searchlight, it was It was so dark that you couldn't even see what was behind the window.

There was a constant stream of gunfire in my ears, and the reports coming from all directions were not good news.Among the seven giants, the "Queen" and "The Butcher" can still withstand it, but the "Venomous Snake" and the "Venomous Scorpion", the brothers in trouble, have already begun to retreat. As for the mercenaries and hunters recruited from the wilderness, The defense line is also shaky and does not look very strong.

Facing these intruders from outside, the monsters in the ruins obviously started to counterattack after the initial panic.What they did to clean up the monsters in these blocks did not bring absolute safety, but instead made themselves bait in the eyes of other ruined monsters.In the eyes of these monsters in ruins, these blocks have lost their original owners, which is a good opportunity for them to invade the territory.As for these foreign invaders... just kill them all.

"Da da da da da...!!!"

The automatic machine guns roared and shot out flames, interlacing and forming a dense barrage of bullets in the pitch-black environment.Looking from a distance, one could see pairs of scarlet eyes in the darkness rapidly wandering around the periphery of the position. They pounced forward from time to time, and were blasted to pieces by the ruthless fire blockade.However, this did not stop these monsters from moving. They kept wandering around, probing, trying to find the weakness of the hedgehog shell, and then completely defeated it.

The situation is more difficult than imagined......

"grown ups!"

Hearing the call, the old man slowly turned his head and looked at the man beside him.

"what happened?"

"News just came from the rear. The B area defended by the 'Wild Boar' has been lost! These monsters are simply crazy! We can only barely maintain the last passage now. Sir, this operation has failed. Please order a retreat immediately. Now It's still too late, if our retreat is blocked, it will be troublesome! At the very least, you and the other Big Seven should leave here first. As long as the Big Seven are still there, then nothing will happen to District [-], but if you…………"

"All right."

Before the man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man waving his hand. He raised his head and stared at the sky in front of him silently.The exchange of fire around was still going on, and sporadic screams and roars of monsters could even be heard in the distance, but the old man turned a blind eye to them, he just silently stared at the darkness in front of him, until a moment later, the old man sighed.

"I know what you want to say. The Ninth District is our foundation. If we lose our vitality here, then the Ninth District will no longer belong to us, and it will no longer belong to the Blackstone Group. Maybe it will be replaced by those wandering in the wilderness. Occupied by bandits, it may also collapse from within. We should not carry out such a risky plan at all, but..." As he spoke, the old man raised his right hand and stretched it towards the sky. "...I still decided to give it a try. This is my hometown, I was born and grew up here, I still remember the scene when I wandered here, everything was normal at that time, there were no monsters, no disasters .My girlfriend and I were walking on this street..."

Speaking of this, the old man smiled as if full of memories, and then looked at the incomplete street under his feet, filled with flesh and blood and corpses.

"I still remember there is an ice cream shop here, the ice cream there is delicious, and there are always some promotions. It's just that it's only for women, so I have to ask my girlfriend to buy it for me... Haha Haha, it's really interesting..."

"grown ups?"

Hearing the old man's words, the man couldn't help but be a little surprised. He never expected that on this life-and-death battlefield, the old man would suddenly start to recall his youth.

"I'm old, and frankly speaking, after experiencing that disaster, I'm lucky to be able to live to this day. Not only did I form my own forces, but I even became the master of a gathering place. Isn't it a little unimaginable? You know, before the 'catastrophe', I was just an ordinary office worker. I squeezed the tram to and from work every day, and was scolded by the boss like a dog. Even my girlfriend followed me in the end. The other man ran away... The funniest thing is... the day after she left, the 'catastrophe' broke out... Hahaha, life is such a joke..."

Facing the old man's words, the man also showed a dumbfounded expression.

"It's because you have this ability, my lord. Don't talk about it now, even before the disaster, I'm afraid you will be a successful person with a successful career in the end."

"Hehe, maybe it is, maybe it's not. It's meaningless to discuss this issue now."

The man's flattery didn't seem to be in the right place, but the old man seemed a little uninterested at the moment. He waved his hand, and then took out a cigar from his pocket.

"To be honest, I kind of miss the time when I was scolded by that old man... At least, at that time, our world was still normal... Okay, continue to be on call, and don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

"But, my lord... how long do we have to wait? 'Doctor' he..."

"I believe that the little guy will complete the commission. For a long time, he has never disappointed the old man. I believe it will be the same this time. Well, you can go."

"……………yes."

Hearing what the old man said, the man hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, then turned and left.And it wasn't until this time that the old man withdrew his gaze and glanced at the dark and gloomy small building in front of him.

"I hope you don't disappoint my old bones, 'doctor'..."

Then, he muttered to himself.

While the battle outside was in full swing, it was a different scene inside the building at this moment.

"That... my lord Commander, is this really all right?"

Looking at Ferran who was leisurely sitting on the sofa, holding a skewer of barbecued meat and grilling it back and forth on the campfire, Ai Luka finally couldn't suppress the uneasiness in her heart, and asked.Facing her inquiry, Fei Lun shrugged his shoulders.

"Of course there is no problem. The so-called balance of work and rest is also necessary in this environment. Relax, we will all die one day. In this case, we must seize the time to enjoy life and enjoy life. A person's life should be like this When you are hit by a bullet from behind or your throat is bitten by a monster, you will not regret for wasting your years, nor will you be ashamed of doing nothing. In this way, when you are dying, You can say, 'At least I have enjoyed everything I should enjoy in this world - and got the joy and happiness I hoped for.' You see, why do most of the villains in the movie die with a look of satisfaction on their faces? smile? This is not because they are liberated from the harsh punishment of conscience, but simply feel satisfied with their past. Compared with being so miserable that they don’t even have enough to eat, their wives are abducted, and their families are torn apart. For the protagonist who lives for revenge, wouldn’t it be happier for the villain to lie in a gentle land and enjoy food and women?”

While speaking, Fei Lun flicked his right hand, and saw a piece of grilled steak being forked by him in the next moment.

"Want a piece?"

"this………"

Smelling the delicious and tender aroma, Eluka couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She glanced left and right at Chris, who was silently eating meat skewers, and Kurona, who was happily holding a cup of milk tea like a hamster. …………

But having said that, the scalpel with the steak inserted in it now, could it not be the one used to dissect the cub before... um...!
"Hug, I'm sorry, Commander, I'm a little uncomfortable... Uh-huh...!"

Looking at Iluka who turned around and ran away in panic like a rabbit, Phelan shook his head, then he picked up the steak, took a light bite, and then closed his eyes.

Well...that's life.

(What a poor child. Master, how big a psychological shadow do you think she has?)

"It won't be too big, just get used to it."

Hearing Delin's words coming from his mind, Fei Lun couldn't help but smile slightly, then turned his head to look at the cat-eared maid standing quietly beside her.Facing Fei Lun's answer, Delin sighed helplessly.

(I think most people will go crazy before they get used to it...I don't want to make irresponsible remarks about your hobbies, master, but please occasionally care about other people's opinions)

"The night gave me dark eyes, but I use them to look for light. It is because they lack the perspective to discover beauty... Life has infinite possibilities, but human beings only care about their own food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is really too superficial."

(With all due respect, master, I have never found any beauty in those squirming guts)
"This shows that your love is not enough......"

(As long as I love you enough, Master, it doesn’t matter if I don’t have this kind of love... Master, are you ready?)

"of course."

Hearing Delin's words, Phelan narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the ceiling above his head, and then shook the scalpel in his hand slightly.

"Everything is ready."

At this moment, as if to confirm what Fei Lun said, a bang suddenly erupted in the darkness, and immediately after, Krona also stood up with a pale face, and looked at the gate not far away in surprise.

"Enemy attack!!"
