When she saw Lanqi, atatha's pupils narrowed and the activities of light elements on her body immediately became frequent. But zero pressed her hand, and atatha looked at him puzzled. Ling Ning said firmly, "will you give it to me? I promise, he can't get out of this town."
"Do you promise?" artessa asked after a moment of silence.
Zero nodded heavily and said, "listen, the situation is bad for us now. So I want you to do something for me and take moni. You go farther, the next settlement or some other base. Then stay quiet and I'll find you, no matter where you are?"
"Zero..." Moni stopped.
Zero patted her on the head, smiled and said, "don't worry, I won't die. I promised you I'd protect you until you're 18. Until then, I'll be fine!"
Moni nodded hard.
"What a moving scene." next to the car, Soren clapped: "well, the duel time is set at noon. Before that, please let me prepare a duel stage for you. Before the duel begins, they can leave as far as they can go. But zero, when you die, I will find these two women and treat them well!"
Zero's face showed a smile: "don't worry, before that, I will end your life!"
There was no buffer between him and parkland, especially for Soren. Soren also knew that when the girl named Leia died in Cabo's hands, only one of him and zero could survive.
"Then wait and see," Sauron spread his hand and smiled.
Then he snapped his fingers, pointed a gun at a few soldiers and put away his weapons. Under Sauron's repeated orders, nearly half of the soldiers jumped into the truck. Sauron got into the car, and parkland's motorcade drove to the center of windmill town. The remaining soldiers are responsible for monitoring zero to ensure that he does not wait for an opportunity to escape before the duel at noon.
In fact, zero didn't have this plan. If he ran away, it would mean that artessa and Moni's lives would be lost. On the wilderness, if Soren's army catches up and makes indiscriminate fire attacks, even zero will be difficult to survive. On the contrary, it is a better choice to tie Soren in windmill town and give artesa time to leave.
At least in windmill Town, a town with complex terrain, zero can still run. Unless Sauron razes the whole town to the ground, the probability of intercepting zero will be very low. As for the damage to his reputation caused by his escape, zero didn't consider it at all. As long as circumstances permit, he doesn't want to lose his life in vain. In turbulent times, even the high-ranking and powerful know that life is the priority, and others can be ignored, just within the scope allowed by their own principles.
Only living is the foundation of everything. As for the dead, no amount of glory can change anything.
All for survival!
There was no superfluous form of farewell. After giving them a hug, artessa left windmill town with Moni and Lala. With artesha's agility of approaching the fifth order, they can be nearly 400 kilometers away from windmill town before noon. Even if Soren wanted to catch up with them, he had to take a lot of trouble.
No worries, zero quietly waited for the start of the duel in the hotel. Near noon, he silently ate a piece of bread and drank 200 ml of purified water, so as to keep his body in the best state.
At Sauron's notice, zero walked out of the hotel. He carried colt behind him, and the M500 revolver was pinned in the holster at his waist. The saber is inserted into the scabbard on the outside of the thigh to facilitate zero extraction at any time. As for the energy weapon bare teeth, zero hides it on his body and hopes it's best not to use it. When a gunman uses short weapons for hand to hand combat, it also means that he will dance with death.
Zero knows this, and he knows his opponent knows it. The black man named Lange is also an excellent gunman.
At noon, the windmill town was very lively. The small spray pool in the town square was surrounded by onlookers. Soren did not know where he had brought a leather sofa and was leaning comfortably on it. Behind him, he opened a sun umbrella to block the dazzling sunshine for the noble youth. On a round table in front of the sofa, there was a bottle of iced red sprinkles and a goblet.
Sauron just drank and waited for the show to begin.
He has prepared a duel stage for zero and Ranqi, an abandoned factory in the town. There, Soren made some arrangements to make the duel more exciting.
When the hour hand on the pocket watch points to the position of 12 o'clock, zero arrives and there is no difference.
Sauron raised a glass to him with an expression like watching a dying man. Zero kept his expression in mind silently. At this time, the crowd on the other side separated a channel, and Lange, who was also fully armed, came over.
Lanqi was wearing a tight tactical suit and still carrying his crazy vulture. But he had an automatic pistol and a double barreled shotgun. At the same time, he was wearing an ammunition belt with two grenades in addition to the special bullets of the shotgun.
"Well, zero, you didn't run away, otherwise you'll find it's a boring exercise that wastes each other's time." Soren jumped up from the sofa and walked between them with a smile: "I won't say anything more. Now let the soldiers take you to the stage. Only one of you can come out alive. If you win zero, I can generously give you half a day to run for your life. Then go!"
Clapped his hands, a soldier came up from behind Soren and led zero and Lanqi.
Before arriving at the factory building, zero saw Sauron's soldiers surrounded here, seemingly to prevent zero from escaping. At the sign of the soldiers, the two rusty doors of the factory were pushed open, revealing a not bright space.
Zero and Lanqi walked into the gate at the same time. When they entered the factory building, the iron gate behind them closed slowly.
The first floor of the factory building is obviously a workshop. I see many unusable machine tools, which are covered with thick dust. I don't know how long they have been idle here. Now, they have become the silent audience of zero's duel with Ranqi.
Looking up again, zero saw the cracked floor slab, the steel bars stabbed out of the concrete, and the cracks all over the wall. All these show the fact that the building is damaged. It can't withstand too severe impact. Maybe just a grenade will collapse the building.
In short, this is an extremely dangerous stage.
"Can we start?" rankie asked very gentlemanly.
He nodded, "anytime."
"Then start!"
Lanqi's eyes shot a sharp light.
They moved at the same time.
