116, whoever loves to be a hero will be
"Thank you... thank you child. I didn't expect you to cough so hard... heh heh heh... Although I don't know much about martial arts, even I can see that you must be better than that of the Bucks Empire. The young genius...Delao? Duke Goodsay is even more genius. Certainly...cough...it must be.
Worried about her husband, Yueming quickly stepped forward to support Lancer. He walked to the stretcher with him and lay down. Even after lying down, Lancer kept saying things like "There is hope" and "We are saved". But the severe pain made him close his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.
The people around once again cast admiring glances at the idiot, and now the idiot can finally cope with it reluctantly. He nodded at the people around him, turned and walked towards his tent. Behind him, he began to follow some 13 or 14-year-old boys, rushing up whenever he had time, kneeling in front of the idiot, hoping to get guidance.
Yes, most people here regard idiots as heroes.
They worshiped, admired and praised him. With him, there seems to be a pillar for survival.
However, among these people, there is only one...
glasses.
The girl's gaze through the thick lenses, staring at the idiot. The pupils that hadn't changed their emotions at first, now finally have a little movement.
——————————————————————
In the crowd, the idiot returned to the tent. He asked the people around him to leave, but the problem was that they couldn't drive them away. Everyone's face was still full of admiration. No way, the idiot had to let the small bread into the tent, and he jumped up to the height of the church several times, squatting on the commanding height, overlooking the entire steel city. Seeing this scene in the eyes of others, it was naturally another surprise. The idiot didn't unknowingly get down from the church until nightfall, and slipped back to his tent.
"Awesome idiot, you are so cool today. It's a pity that I didn't see it. Otherwise, I will definitely cheer for you, and tell them all the heroic deeds you have done before and tell them that you really saved it. It’s actually you who blow the sand every time."
After returning to the tent, Walnut already knew what had happened from the sign of the bread. She looked very happy and kept waving her hands.
But facing Walnut's excitement, the idiot's expression seemed unexpectedly cold. He quietly watched Walnut and Bread's happiness, even Xing was surprised at the idiot's strength from Walnut's words.
"..............................I am very happy, isn't it?"
Long time, long time. When the two girls seemed extremely happy, the idiot opened his mouth coldly.
"In that case, please pack up now. We are leaving."
"go away?"
Walnut was stunned, she couldn't believe her ears, and said--
"Why are we leaving? You have to know, idiot, these people have already regarded you as a hero."
Little Bread also protested a little, raised the sign and screamed.
The idiot swept across their faces again coldly, and said lightly——
"Famous, hero...you think I would be very happy to get this, right?"
"This... isn't it? Who doesn't want to be a hero?"
Walnut faintly felt that something was wrong with what the idiot said. But after thinking about it, she decided to implement her inner beliefs.
For these, the idiot sighed for a long time, and slowly said--
"Hero...For the survivors in this city, I may indeed become a hero. However, it is a hero who must die soon."
"Eh??? How... possible?"
"How impossible. Bread, you just jumped out on the initiative just to force me to take action. Your intention was to save people, but have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this? Saving people in the public will produce What kind of post-event radiation, have you thought about it in your mind?"
Little Bread silently put down the sign. She calmed down now. After actively thinking about it, she seemed to have figured out something. The emerald green eyes immediately expanded, and her face also showed fear.
"I became a hero of this city, something like a savior. But for the bandits with five or six hundred people, things won't end there. Their leader is named Thunderhoof, nicknamed Scarlet Tumbler. If this person does not see his subordinates come back after a day, what would he do?"
Walnut frowned, unable to answer for a while.
"He will send someone to investigate. It doesn't take much investigation, he can learn that those people have been killed by me. I also know that I have become the hero of everyone in Steel City. At that moment, all the spearheads will be directed at me in an instant."
"After that, the fastest and fastest, that is, in the daytime tomorrow. The bandit leader will bring a large army to the Iron City to slaughter the city. The primary purpose is to force me out. At that moment, I must be alone. In the face of more than 500 enemies, I have to fight while protecting you. What do you think is my chance of winning."
The color of joy on Walnut's face slowly faded, replaced by a color of terror.
"Actually, this is relatively light. If Thunderhoof were smarter, he would arrest a few refugees, threaten their lives on the one hand, and give them generous prizes on the other. Ask these refugees to sneak close to me, and then Deliberately get close to me, try to find out my weakness, or tell where I and you are. Once the bandits know my weakness (idiot looks at the bread) and the location of this tent, their actions will be even better. Targeted, action, will get twice the result with half the effort."
Walnut hesitated. After hearing the idiot say this, she finally couldn't help but said, "That... how could those refugees betray you? You are their hero."
"It is precisely because I am their hero that their betrayal is at ease."
The idiot said coldly, without any waves or emotions in his eyes——
"Because they think I am strong, strong enough to be invincible in the world. Therefore, under the temptation of death and heavy rewards, they will not hesitate to confess my weakness. Because they will think that even if I betrayed by them, I will still These bandits can be defeated. My strength has been expanded to infinite in their eyes, and betraying a'god' that will not fail will not cause any catastrophic consequences at all."
Walnut was already a little speechless, but in the end, she still wanted to struggle a bit, shouting: "But...but...but the bandit might not do this..."
"If I were Thunderhoof, I would do it."
The idiot interrupted Walnut without hesitation. This sentence also made Walnut, which was originally full of joy, completely plunged into the abyss of despair and anxiety.
The idiot breathed out again, turned around, and started to pack his luggage, and said while packing, "So from now on, you must not have any closeness or kindness to anyone's goodwill. We can't know those who deliberately come close. Is it because our people worship me, a hero who is not worthy of the truth, or have been bought and prepared to betray. Walnut, although you didn’t listen to me much before, but this time, I still want you to strictly abide by my instructions. Because this time , It’s no longer something you can do arbitrarily."
Walnut bit her lower lip, her face pale. After an idiot's analysis, she finally understood that the so-called "hero" is not so good. If you stand out for no reason, the result may be disastrous. So this time, Walnut nodded very seriously, and made a faint determination in her heart, at least before returning to the wind and blowing the sand, she must listen to the idiots and never do anything wrong.
"Ba Ba"
"Ahhhhhhh"
Bread took the idiot's hand and held up the sign. The idiot nodded, indicating that she could express her opinion.
The brand is turned over-
"We are gone, what about the people in Steel City? 》
Little Bread's eyes were full of worry, and she kept holding up the sign to the idiot. Walnut had never thought about this question before, but now he sees it and looks at the idiot, waiting for an answer.
"...The people here may be slaughtered by bandits. Because Thunderhoof will think that they are deliberately protecting us and not handing us over."
"what?"
"Woo?"
Walnut was stunned, and Little Bread had such an expression. After hearing this possibility, Walnut covered her mouth and wanted to speak, but she noticed the idiot's eyes and immediately thought of the vow she had just made in her heart. She didn't know what to do for a while.
"Bread, this, is the consequence of your forcibly getting ahead."
The idiot stretched out his hand, touched the little girl's head, and said calmly—
"During the day, if we trail behind secretly and create opportunities on their way back to the top of the mountain, we may not minimize the danger. The earthquake has just passed here, and the mountains are full of fault cliffs, even if these people It is not unbelievable to die because of "distress". Of course, we only need to kill half and put half, and we can transfer all the responsibility to nature. Neither Steel City nor us will become immediate targets in the eyes of bandits. "
"But, you forced me to get ahead. After the bandits set their target on me, they will march into the city tomorrow if they can't see us, they will definitely carry out a massacre without hesitation. In this way, the city will be Very few people can escape after being bloodbathed."
"So, how about we immediately discuss with the people in the city and let them help in the fight?" 》
Little Bread didn't give up. With Walnut shut up now, she still wanted to make the last fight.
"It is okay to discuss. However, we must bear great risks."
"The people in this city have lost much confidence and morale due to the disaster. In other words, they have no sense of fighting at all. If I tell them all of the analysis just now, they will not only be against the same enemy, but will take everything All the responsibilities of the people have been put on my head, saying that it is because of me that they are in danger of being bloodbathed."
"After that, people began to flee in large numbers, and some even deliberately surrounded us, ready to contribute to us when the bandits arrived. Even if we escape, our enemies will immediately change from five to six hundred to More than 50,000. Don't believe it, the mentality of wanting others to take responsibility and avoiding responsibility is universal in everyone's heart."
At this moment, even the bread finally bowed his head and said nothing.
"Although it sounds terrible and there is no hope at all, what I want to say is that this is reality. This is not a novel, nor a drama or a stage play. I am not the protagonist of this world, everyone is surrounded I turn. Everything will eventually develop in the direction that is beneficial to me. This world is such a reality. In this real world, we must abandon any unrealistic fantasy and romantic factors, starting from the most fundamental and practical Direction to think about the problem."
"Bread, walnuts, I know you can’t bear to let everyone here face slaughter because of me. But I also need you to know if it’s not the people here that die, or we die. It’s them or we die, face I will never hesitate about this choice."
Idiot conclusions are cruel and realistic.
He couldn't see the slightest guilt and helplessness in his eyes, because guilt and helplessness were purely the most useless things in this world. Compassion and uncool thinking, impulsive and passionate behavior can definitely not bring a glorious future, but a **** of death.
Rats in the sewer will never allow themselves to appear in dangerous places. Once the danger approaches, the first reaction is to run away immediately. So now, it's time to implement this move.
Idiots, bread, walnuts, apricots. The four began to pack their luggage, prepare the most basic travel tools, and prepare to leave all night. Although the three girls couldn't bear the idiot's conclusion and were very sad for the massacre that is coming tomorrow, they had to abide by the objective facts, quickly pack their things and prepare to leave.
Just when the idiot put on the backpack and was about to open the tent cloth...
"Boy, are you there? Hey, it's me, Lancer."
Outside the door, the voice of the priest came.
The idiot glanced at the three girls and immediately put down the backpack. The three girls immediately followed suit and piled their backpacks in the corner. After confirming, the idiot nodded at them and got out of the tent.
Snow is floating in the air.
Lancer's shoulders and head were also covered with white crystals. He looked at the idiot, smiled, holding the cross in his hand, smiling very happily.
"…………………………what's up."
The idiot asked vigilantly, placing his right hand behind his back, and Dimie had secretly clenched.
Lancer didn’t notice the idiot’s vigilance. He just looked up and down at the idiot and said, “Young man, our hero. It’s a hard work for you today. Look, you made such a bad breath for us, we I don’t know how to thank you."
"………………you are welcome."
"Hehe, why don't you need to thank you? After repeated thinking, I discussed with some priests and finally decided how to repay you."
Lancer pointed to the blood coat on the idiot, and pointed to the blood on his bare skin, and continued: "In the current Steel City, it is indeed a very rare thing to take a good bath. Fortunately, After the aftershocks a few days ago, we found a hot spring gushing out in the back of the city. We have blocked the news to prevent everyone from rushing past. But this time, we decided to dedicate the hot spring tonight completely. To you and your female companions. Please don't refuse, enjoy it, how about it?"
The idiot looked up. There were many priests behind Lancer, and they all smiled and surrounded the idiot.
In this case, the idiot cannot say "I don't want to wash". Because this kind of words that go against the thinking mode of ordinary people is said, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no clever people among these priests who guess that they want to escape. After hesitating, he looked at the time. It's seven o'clock in the evening. After four people take a bath, at most nine o'clock in the evening, washing away the dust is an early relaxation and rest for the escape.
The walnut bread and apricot now also came out of the tent, looking at the idiot, waiting for his decision. After the idiot nodded silently, the three girls were relieved that they could finally take a bath for so many days. Although, they also know that after taking a bath, they are greeted by non-stop escape.
Bring the toiletries and towels, the idiot followed Lancer in front. Walnut and others continued to wait in the tent. Passing the residential area, in a place far away from the crowds, a temporary fence appeared before the eyes of the idiot. When the priest and nun in charge of the guard saw the idiot coming, they came up with a smile and gathered beside the idiot.
"Okay, okay, don't delay our hero to relax"
Lancer smiled and rebuked, then he handed a piece of soap into the idiot's hand, led all the priests and nuns to salute the idiot, and then left.
The idiot looked around and made sure that this was not a trap. He went around the wall and looked at the vents again, confirming that he could not be killed by poisoning. Then, he walked inside the wall and saw the hot spring that was constantly emitting steam.
"………………………………"
The water in the hot spring looks very clean and crystal clear. However, the idiot did not go in immediately. He went around the hot spring, then walked out of the fence, caught a mouse among the nearby ruins, and returned here. He threw the mouse into the hot spring and watched quietly by the side. After confirming that the mouse did not die due to the toxicity of the spring water, he took off his clothes without worry and walked in.
