Twilight War

03

The red fire ant suddenly felt in a trance.

Are you cared?

That seems to be a very good word, there are delicious grilled pork chops, a warm room and a warm quilt.

He was also cared about.

Although he is stupid, his mother still touches his head and smiles at him.

His mother has very gentle eyes.

But his mother died, and he remembered her mother looked at him kneeling beside the bed before she died, and said:

"In the future... I'm gone, who else in this world would care about you?"

Her tone was gentle and sad.

But the young man smiled and made the promise without looking serious at all.

being cared about...

Will that boy really fulfill his promise?

After smoking that cigarette, the boy stepped onto the locomotive and started the engine slowly.

"If you want to follow me, get in the car."

The boy looked at the setting sun in front of him, "The people behind are about to catch up."

The red fire ant looked at the boxing gymnasts running towards here from behind, the young man snatched away the golden belt of the boxing champion, but threw it directly on the ground.

He will definitely be beaten by the people in the boxing gym. Those people came here to teach the boy a lesson.

If he falls into the hands of those people, I'm afraid it will be very miserable.

Amidst the roar of the locomotive engine, the red fire ant looked at the boy.

He is stupid and silly.

Some things take a long time to think about.

But those people are about to catch up.

Can he really trust this teenager?

Will the boy really keep his promise?

"Hey, do you want to come up?" the boy said with half-opened eyes, and when he got off the ring, he turned into the sleepy look again.

In other words, except for the last blow that was suppressed, the boy seemed to be extremely sleepless throughout the whole process.

Finally, the red fire ant shook his head slowly.

"Okay then, I'm going. Take care."

The boy was not reluctant, and the engine car started to flee for his life.

A trail of gray locomotive exhaust was left behind, enveloping the fire ants in it.

After all, he was still too cowardly, he didn't dare to touch that too heavy commitment.

He is not that boy after all, he can only do what he wants to do.He knows that it is difficult for people to live in this world, and not everyone can be a human being.

Because he knows how hard it is to live, he also knows how heavy the commitment of a teenager is.

He has always asked for very little, but the boy suddenly said that he would give him another life.He is not afraid of being let down, he is only afraid that once he is let down, he will never go back.

After being promised another life, how could he be willing to live the original life?

The thugs from the boxing gym were about to run over, but the red fire ant just curled itself up into a ball.

"Hey, do you want to come up?"

The boy leaned on the motorcycle with his legs and fell back in a funny way.

"three two……"

The boy looked back at the thug who was about to catch up, and without hesitation, he started the car again and started running for his life.

The black straps of the hard hat flapped in the air.

The boy looked at the burning sky ahead.

The ground behind suddenly began to tremble violently, and the bear-like man was running hard behind, as if the whole world was about to shake!

When the man jumped into the back seat of the motorcycle, the whole motorcycle looked like it was about to turn over.

The boy didn't say anything, he just put the helmet back on the man's head, and then suddenly started to accelerate.

At dusk, a black locomotive gallops along the long road...

That's what Huangxuanjin promised him, and Huangxuanjin should do it.

How could Huang Xuanjin die before that?

Whether it's waffles, grilled pork chops, or a life that people care about.

Those... are what Huangxuanjin promised him!

The red imported fire ants used all their strength to move the door that was as heavy as an island.

All the muscles on his body bulge like mountains!

That's what Huang Xuanjin promised...

If he took it seriously, Huangxuan Jin had to do it.

"what!!!"

The man as strong as a bear roared with all his strength!

It looks like a huge beast that has no way to escape in the wildfire, but is arrogant and foolish to fight to find a way.

A glimmer of light slowly leaked from the heavy iron gate that couldn't be pulled up even if five trucks started at the same time.

Scarlet blood dripped from his hands.

He gritted his teeth fiercely as if he was about to bite them, and there were terrifying blue veins on his face.

The red fire ants suddenly lifted the heavy iron gate!

Do what you promised...

04

The gray-tailed and belly-cut snakes were carrying the woman and wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible. The truck driving in the abandoned machinery factory seemed to be shuttling through a huge maze.

Gray Tail suddenly pressed the steering wheel in Snake's hand.

"What are you doing! Graytail."

"Go back!" Gray Tail looked at the belly-cut snake and said, the boy's eyes were dark and frightening under the slightly long forehead hair.

"But boss let us go."

"You even listen to what Huangxuanjin says, are you as stupid as Huangxuanjin?" Huiwei said.

The belly-cut snake seemed to realize something suddenly.

"Boss, boss is in danger!"

The belly-cut snake quickly turned around.

Dozens of men holding hollow steel pipes surrounded the closed warehouse gate.

Hollow steel pipes are the most common weapon on the Doom Mountain. Although Westland does not control firearms, expensive firearms are not affordable for everyone.

Therefore, the waste steel pipes that can be seen everywhere have become the most convenient weapons for those desperadoes.

Although this kind of steel pipe looks like nothing, once it is swung down, it can smash the opponent's bones in an instant.

Those people walked back and forth beside the heavy iron gate, and the steel pipes dragged on the ground making harsh sounds.

So when the truck broke in suddenly, what Belly Snake and Gray Tail saw were dozens of men with copper pipes in their hands stopped and looked at them.

The intruder, who looked like a group of hyenas, was instantly stared at by dozens of hyenas with vicious eyes.

"Stay in the car, no matter what happens, don't get out!" The belly-cut snake gritted its teeth and said to the woman: "Our boss is desperately trying to get you out."

After speaking, he slowly pulled out the snake bone spur beside the seat. It was a strangely shaped stabbing sword, which made people inexplicably think of snakes crawling among the branches and leaves.

The rapier was covered by a pile of strawberry-flavored lollipops. When the belly-cut snake slowly pulled out the snake bone spur, the sword was like a snake breaking out of the pink candy.

He got out of the truck and looked at the men with steel pipes in their hands.

Gray Tail followed behind him with a wooden sword, quietly like a wolf cub.

"Hey, did you see two men who knew at a glance that their IQ was flawed? One of them was particularly in need of a beating." Belly Snake shouted at the other side with the rapier in his hand.

However, the person on the opposite side ignored his question at all, and rushed over with the steel pipe, and the steel pipe slashed at the belly-cut snake and gray tail.

The belly-cut snake bent over to avoid it, and the strangely shaped snake bone spurs pierced straight into the man's back.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Hey, I'm asking you something. Is this how you treat the wayfinder?"

However, his back was suddenly hit hard by another person's steel pipe, the force seemed to smash his bones into pieces.

He felt as if his arm was going to be crippled by this fierce force.

But he still endured the pain and stabbed the snake bone back fiercely.

The two kept fighting in front of the warehouse door.

I don't know how many steel pipes have been hit on my body, but the two of them are still fighting non-stop.It's as if you don't know tiredness and don't know pain.

Because they knew that the man who deserved a beating was right behind this door.

So when the red fire ants raised the gate, what they saw was the crowd fighting.

If he didn't guard against it, the hollow steel pipe fell straight towards Huangxuan Jin behind him.

However, the steel pipe was suddenly held by the belly-cut snake. The belly-cut snake's arms had already started to tremble, and blood slowly flowed from the tiger's mouth.

But he still held the steel pipe firmly.

"No matter how bad that guy is, he should let us come." The belly-cut snake said with a grin.

The man with the steel pipe in his hand was strangled by the ferocity in the snake's eyes, and a large drop of sweat fell from his forehead.

"Although Huangxuan Jin is delicious, lazy, irresponsible, and has no credit, but if you want to kill him, you should ask us first!" The belly-cut snake ruthlessly pierced the snake bone spur into the man's abdomen, and then twisted it slowly, Blood slowly flowed out along the blood groove.

"Because although there's nothing good about that guy, we'll still be sad if he dies..."

The belly-cut snake whispered in the man's ear.

The man's body slipped from the snake bone spur.

The belly-cut snake held a sword blade dripping with blood in its hand, and looked around, like a poisonous snake guarding a snake egg.

"Boss, there are so many annoying guys..." Red Fire Ant said softly to the unconscious Huangxuan Jin behind him.

He slowly lowered the unconscious boy to the ground, as carefully as placing porcelain on velvet.

The hollow steel pipe suddenly swung down in front of him!

However, the red fire ant grasped the steel pipe in an instant, and the steel pipe was slowly bent in his hand.

They fought like wild beasts, keeping the unconscious Huangxuan Jin in the semicircle surrounded by the warehouse.

Those men holding steel pipes couldn't get close to Huangxuan Jin at all.

A quarter of an hour later, only the three of them were still standing in front of the warehouse, panting heavily.

The bodies of those people fell at the warehouse door, like fallen trees after a strong wind.

Just when they thought everything was over, they suddenly heard the sound of applause coming from the old scaffolding.

A man with a waist-length braid walked over slowly, clapping his hands.

"It's really loyal." The man looked at the three of them and said.

All three looked at him warily.

"Don't worry, those people belong to Cardinal Gregory, and he was the one who wanted to grab something from you. It's useless for me to ask for that thing," the man said.

The belly-cut snake suddenly clenched the snake bone spur in its hand.Because the woman who was supposed to be hiding in the car ran out suddenly, the woman still seemed crazy, but when she saw the man, it was like a 16-year-old girl seeing her lover.

However, the man just glanced back, slowly took out a flintlock gun from his waist, and fired back without looking.

Scarlet flowers bloomed on the woman's chest.

The man walked up to the woman, knelt down and said regretfully, "Montespang, why don't you know? You and I are both pawns."

"The chess piece is only valuable where it should be. The place where you should be is the Brutus family, but you are not there now."

"Pieces that leave the board are worthless. So, sorry, you have to die."

Montespoon's crazy eyes were open, those blue eyes were like glass beads in the hands of children on Queen's Road.She stared at the sky, unable to close her eyes.

The man stood up, looked at the three people who clenched their teeth, and smiled with the corners of their mouths raised.

"Are the three of you only following Huangxuanjin now? It's really pitiful. You know, the last time I saw Huangxuanjin, there were tens of thousands of retainers who were willing to fight with him." The man's tone said no. Whether it is ridicule or nostalgia.

"Tell Huangxuan Jin that the person who once held the sword cannot leave the battlefield." The man looked at the three people and said.

After speaking, the man left, his slender tail hanging down behind him.

As soon as the man left, the Red Fire Ant rushed to push the fainted Huangxuan Jin.

"Boss! Boss!"

He kept yelling this sentence, like a child crying for his broken toy.

He didn't listen to what the man said just now, he only knew that Huangxuanjin was behind him, and that Huangxuanjin was going to die...

He was really stupid, he really thought that Huang Xuan Jin was going to die.

Death is too far away for ordinary people, and most people don't think about death easily.

But the red fire ant has experienced too many deaths, he knows how easy it is for a person to die.

Those who were alive and well just now may be carried off the ring in the next moment, and then thrown away without even medical treatment.

The doctor at the black market boxing gym would only take a hasty look and then wave his hand, as if signaling the death god to pass by.

Sometimes it is easier for people to die than for parts to break.

"Boss, boss!"

The RIFA still kept pushing Huangxuanjin, like a child who only knows how to pat a toy with his hands, but doesn't dare to pat it too hard.

"It's so noisy. Can't you be quieter?" Huang Xuanjin slowly opened his eyes, gritted his teeth and said to the red fire ant.

"Boss, wake up! Boss, wake up!"

"Shut up!" Huang Xuanjin couldn't bear to say.

However, just as he got up from the ground, he was suddenly embraced by the red fire ants.

The strength was not heavy, but Huang Xuanjin felt that he couldn't breathe in such a hug.

So in the end, he just gently touched the red fire ant's head.

"Okay, here I am."

"That woman is dead." Hui Wei said to Huang Xuan Jin: "The body is over there."

Huang Xuanjin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the book in his hand, and then at the woman.

It's a bit depressing to look down.

"A belly-cut snake." Huang Xuanjin said.

"kindness."

"Now, no one really bought this book."

"Let's go, although the business has not been completed, there is nothing we can do. Life is difficult everywhere." Huang Xuanjin said.Passing by the body of the woman the man called Montespoon, he didn't even look at it again, just walked straight past.

"Boss." Red Fire Ant suddenly said behind him.

"how?"

"Don't you think you forgot something?"

"Is there?" Huang Xuanjin frowned and thought for a while, "Don't worry, I took that gemstone from that woman. There is nothing else important."

"Boss! You promised me!"

"Ah!" Huang Xuanjin suddenly remembered, and then took out a bag of shattered waffles from his coat pocket.

"It's broken." Huang Xuanjin said.

The Red Fire Ant seemed a little disappointed, but still looked at Huangxuan Jin and said, "That's it, it's okay, it can be eaten like this."

He stretched out his hand to take the bag of waffles, but Huang Xuanjin suddenly threw the waffles backwards.

The red fire ant's hand stopped in mid-air.

"The broken waffles are not worthy of being called waffles anymore." Huangxuan Jin said, looking at the Red Fire Ant with half-opened eyes.

The red fire ants didn't seem to understand.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Huang Xuanjin said suddenly, "I've been waiting these few days."

Everyone waits for something, doesn't they?

He remembered that a long time ago, although he couldn't remember the scriptures in the book, he could remember clearly every time his uncle came to Jinling, because his uncle would bring him good things from Shu .

Although it was just small things like bamboo dragonfly and lotus leaf candy, he was really serious about waiting.

When kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, he always recited relics seriously, "no dirt, no dirt, bamboo dragonfly, rice dumpling candy..."

So he knew what it was like to wait that long.

You shouldn't be disappointed after waiting so long.

Even if it's just a waffle, you shouldn't be disappointed.

And this is a promise he made, and he has the responsibility to fulfill it.

"Wait for me for the last 5 minutes." Huang Xuanjin said.

When he walked past the red fire ant, he gave the red fire ant a hammer in the heart.

... Just like back then, that final blow with the strength of the punch.

He went to the truck and pulled a heavy locomotive out of the back.Since he got Scarlet, he rarely rides this bike.

But he would still put the locomotive in the trunk, just in case he needed it someday?

This car is like a knight waiting in the dark, silently waiting for its heroic moment to save everything.

And today is that moment.

With one leg on the ground, he slowly started the engine.

"Get in the car?"

"Where are you going?" the fire ants asked.

"Collins, Queen's Road, there is a place with freshly made waffles." Huang Xuanjin said, his tone was laziness, but it really reminded people of the steaming waffles that were just baked.

"Come up if you want to go." After speaking, he slowly stepped on the accelerator, and the locomotive started slowly.

He looked at the setting sun falling in the distance, and suddenly felt the back seat of the motorcycle sink, as if it was about to turn over completely.

But this sense of weight and shaking made him feel at ease.

So he buckled his hard hat back.

If you want to eat something, you must go. This is the most important thing in life.

There are no wild tigers blocking the way, no ferocious monsters on this road.The road is unobstructed and paved with glorious sunsets.

05

Belly Snake and Gray Tail walked slowly along the abandoned factory. When they rushed back to the warehouse, they were too flustered and their tires were punctured.So I had to go back first.

"What are you thinking?" the belly-cut snake asked.

"How do you know I'm thinking?" Graytail asked.

"Whenever you think about something, you run your fingers over that wooden sword."

"Belly-cut snake."

"kindness."

"Is it true that Huangxuan Jin doesn't feel anything about the woman's death?" Hui Tai seemed to have to work hard to suppress his emotions, "He... obviously tried so hard to save that woman."

Huang Xuanjin even exchanged his life for that woman, but when the woman died, he just glanced at the book in his hand, worried that the book would fall on his hand.

The belly-cut snake didn't answer, and walked slowly along the old road.

"It must have been helpless too many times." The belly-cut snake said suddenly.

"kindness?"

"Have you ever experienced war?" Belly Snake said, "I once saw a doctor in the field. He tried his best to save every wounded patient he sent, even if everyone said that person couldn't survive. But as long as that person is breathing, he will do everything in his power to save him."

"But when the wounded patient died in front of him, he would just take a look at it, wipe off his sweat, and continue to save the next person."

"His eyes are very similar to when Huang Xuanjin looked at that woman."

Belly cut snake said.

There are dark red rusts on the old mechanical metal skeletons, and they seem to be walking among the remains of dead giant beasts.

The evening mist was like the last breath of that giant beast.

In the years that no one knows, that young man has gone through too many times of trying his best, and has also experienced the same number of times of helplessness...

"Would you like some?" the belly-cut snake said suddenly.

Huiwei looked at him, and found that he had picked up the waffles that Huangxuan Jin had thrown away, and was eating the crumbs bit by bit.

Graytail didn't speak.

Belly Snake grabbed Gray Tail's hand and poured the waffles on Gray Tail's hand, as if pouring a bag of pearls seriously.

Gray Tail held the waffle in his hand in a daze.

He walked for a long time holding it like this.

When the last light fell at dusk, he lowered his head and licked it lightly.

Very sweet.

Broken waffles are waffles after all.

Collins, Queens Road.

Huang Xuanjin parked the motorcycle in front of Granny Hua's window.

"Grandma! A waffle."

The gray-haired old woman opened the window and said kindly, "Ten copper coins."

Huang Xuanjin touched his pocket, "Ah, red fire ants, let's go back. I didn't bring any money..."

RIFA thought for a while, pushed Huangxuan Jin away as if she had made a very important decision, walked to the window and asked, "Mother-in-law! How much is a guy who is delicious, lazy, and untrustworthy worth?"

"Such a guy can't be sold." Granny Hua Fu said with a gentle smile.

"Hey! Red fire ants! Are you going to sell that old man from the mechanical junkyard for waffles?" Huangxuanjin shouted: "This is wrong! Besides, how could that guy be sold? "

"If such a person has no self-knowledge, it will be even more difficult to sell." Granny Huafu said kindly.

"Hey! Are you talking about me? No! You can't really talk about me!"

Granny Huafu ignored Huangxuanjin, she looked at the mechanical squirrel that Red Fire Ant pinned to her chest and suddenly said, "Did you make this yourself? Can you give it to me? I like it very much."

"Ah? This?" The Red Fire Ant was stunned, like a child who was praised for his own painting, very happy, but a little uneasy, wondering if anyone would really like it.

He carefully removed the squirrel and placed it in front of Granny Waffle.

"As a reward, this waffle is for you." Granny Waffle said.

Huang Xuanjin leaned on the locomotive, watching the dusk fall on the streets of Corinth, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.

...today's evening is really good.

"Xiao Jin, what are you doing in a daze? Yours is fine too."

"Is it for me too? Thank you, mother-in-law!"
