Chapter 204 Shut up and listen to me
"She betrayed me."
"She betrayed me!"
"She actually betrayed me!"
"Why her? She's the most obedient one! She can sing!"
"I hate her!"
“Wooooaaaaaaaa——”
The hall, built of granite and marble, is spacious and cold.
The arched dome is decorated with gold ornaments, and many diamonds and gems are sparkling like stars in the sky.
On the stone platform surrounded by hundreds of burning candles, a thin little girl with surprisingly big eyes, about four or five years old, was shouting and crying violently, rolling on the ground and throwing a tantrum.
She was wearing a furry bear sweater, furry baggy pants, and furry bear slippers, and she looked like a furry little bear.
She was holding a teddy bear in her arms.
The way she cried and made a fuss seemed similar to those children in the previous world who went to the mall and asked for toys but couldn't get them. She was very naughty, very noisy, and a little bit cute.
But it’s actually different.
She cried harder and harder, and instead of saying things like, "I want that toy," she cried, "I'm going to kill her!"
The cold murderous intent, along with her cries, filled the entire hall.
"Kill her! I'm going to kill her! She betrayed me! Uwaaaaaaaaa——"
She suddenly stopped crying, and her already big eyes became even bigger in an instant, almost occupying half of her face.
He stared straight into the void, his eyes emitting a fierce and manic light.
"Betrayal, then death."
She said.
…
Puff, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Then another mouthful, and another...
In a moment, a pool of bright red blood formed on the ground.
Yin Wanying fell limply to the ground, vomiting almost all the blood in her body.
His face quickly turned pale to ashen, the color of a dead person.
"Report! The prisoner is vomiting blood and dying! Emergency!"
The guard standing nearby immediately turned on the communicator and switched to a special frequency band.
At the other end of the frequency band is Ye Qi.
He sat high on the giant mechanical bird, looking down at the battlefield below.
The base defenders, who had suffered heavy casualties, finally saw hope of victory and were cutting into the enemy camp with unstoppable force, fighting, killing, and shouting, using their last bit of strength to fight for victory.
They were full of vigor and were inspired by war songs and drums.
The enemy was sluggish and slow, intimidated by the war songs and drums.
The singing and drumming interwoven with a special rhythm had a powerful control effect on the enemies from the temple and could also assist one's own side to a certain extent.
The tide of battle has turned.
Even if the enemy had thousands of reinforcements arriving on the battlefield, they would only be a few thousand more dull puppets, ready to be slaughtered.
But the singing suddenly stopped.
A moment later, Ye Qi received a report from the guard.
He looked towards a far corner of the battlefield.
The woman in a long dress, handcuffed and shackled, collapsed in a pool of blood, motionless.
"How's the audio recording?" he asked.
The guard on the other end of the communicator replied, "It's all recorded!"
"Play, loop, until the battle is over."
"yes!"
A guard pulled an old Walkman from his pocket, quickly ran to a nearby building, and plugged it into the speakers.
"I don't have any clothes, I will share my clothes with you..."
The deep, hoarse singing voice, whose gender cannot be distinguished, sounded again.
The various audio systems at the base were interconnected, with cables and wires laid out for easy access. They were often used for all-staff broadcasts during construction and training. This time, they came in handy.
The generators were running, and the numerous loudspeaker systems scattered throughout the area began to work simultaneously. Soon, recordings of songs could be heard from all sides of the battlefield, their voices filling the air.
Boom, boom!
Ye Qi played the animal-skin drum to match the singing.
The enemies of the temple, who were suddenly awakened by the interruption of singing, fell into a dazed confusion again before they could get into the rhythm of battle.
The effect of the recording is far less powerful than the real singing. This time, the enemy is sometimes sluggish and sometimes awake, and his state is unstable.
But Ye Qi's constant urging of the war drum slightly made up for this gap. More intense energy surged around his body, and he beat the drum with all his might.
“Kill!”
"Charge! Drive away the enemy!"
"Protect the base!"
The soldiers at the base shouted and fought desperately.
"Captain, you're back... That's great." Old Song waved his sword, spitting blood, and slashed.
He looked at the familiar figure on the giant bird and tears welled up in his eyes. He had already decided to die, but suddenly saw a glimmer of hope before his death. The feeling was indescribable!
"But if you come back...what will happen to the overall situation? Is it really okay?"
"Hey! Brother! Are you out of strength? Haha, you can't do it!" Captain Xiao rushed past.
"Who said no!" Old Song chased after him with a knife in hand.
No matter what the overall situation is, let’s win the battle at hand first!
"We're going to win!"
"Victory is at hand, charge!"
The soldiers rushed and shouted.
Before the decisive battle, there were nearly 4,000 soldiers, but now there were less than 1,000 left. The ground was littered with the bodies of comrades and enemies, but no one retreated.
He dragged his seriously injured body and continued to fight with his last bit of strength.
Ten minutes, half an hour, an hour...
Until all enemies are destroyed.
When the victory trumpet sounded, most of the people immediately lost their strength and collapsed on the pile of corpses.
Some people cried with hoarse voices, some laughed heartily with their mouths wide open, and some made no sound at all, fell down, or fell into a coma, or died of exhaustion.
In the air, a large black mechanical bird was suspended.
Ye Qi, holding a big animal skin drum, also fell headfirst and hit the ground with a bang.
"Team Ye!"
"team leader!"
The soldiers were anxious and panicked, struggling to rush forward.
Ye Qi stood up from the ground, put the drum on his back, and brushed off the dust on his body.
"It's okay, I'm afraid of heights, it's just a small fall." He raised his voice.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there were scattered laughs.
Are you kidding me? Captain Ye has also learned to joke around. Is someone who can fly a plane afraid of heights? But, the bodies of high-level awakened people are really strong. How could they survive a fall from dozens of meters?
Everyone was relieved to see Ye Qi walking normally. Some people took the lead in shouting "Long live Captain Ye", while others asked why Captain Ye, who was seriously injured and unconscious, suddenly recovered and joined the battle. Ye Qi ignored them and walked straight to the corner in the distance.
Only after turning a corner and no one could see him did he breathe a sigh of relief and slow down his pace.
It wasn't a joke, and he certainly wasn't afraid of heights. He'd simply used too much energy beating the drums and nearly fainted. Only after rapidly absorbing a high-quality crystal core did he recover.
But he knew very well that even if he fought with all his might, relying on the drums alone would be useless without the singing to lead the way. The outcome of the battle would not be easily reversed.
But the singer...
Out of everyone's sight, Yin Wanying was lying in a pool of blood, no longer breathing.
The war song that was playing on loop had not stopped yet, and the desolate and distant singing voice was still echoing.
"Captain Ye, do you really not need first aid?" The guard nearby asked hurriedly when he saw Ye Qi approaching.
Ye Qi squatted down and reached out to close Yin Wanying's eyes.
"No need. First aid is useless to her."
The guards looked regretful upon hearing this.
This prisoner, together with Captain Ye, turned the tide of the battle!
"Rest in peace." Ye Qi whispered to Yin Wanying.
And promised: "I will bury your ashes in a clean place, dig a small grave, put a complete set of bedroom furniture models in it, and put a bunch of plastic flowers that will not decay, daisies - all your requests will be done."
This woman seemed to have always been pursuing comfortable living conditions, but no one quite believed it.
Would a powerful Awakened spy betray the Temple just to improve her living conditions? But she did.
Just after the renovation of her cell was completed, she betrayed Ye Qi and, in her unique way, had a secret conversation with him, revealing more about the temple covertly and cleverly.
Ye Qi suddenly remembered that the soft furnishings for decorating the cell were provided by Qiao Lan.
Qiao Lan...
He quickly shook off the all-too-clear shadow in his mind.
But as if to go against him, the communicator in his arms suddenly moved.
Take it out, and the special exclusive frequency band indicator light is flashing.
Ye Qi was silent for a moment and hung up.
It flashed and then broke.
Repeat several times.
At this moment, the intercom hanging on the guard next to him suddenly made a crackling sound.
A girl's clear and angry shouting came from the public frequency band.
"Ye Qi, you idiot, you have a brain full of water! How dare you hang up on me! If it's nothing serious, why would I contact you? I've been wanting to beat you into a pulp these past few days! Hurry up, are you going to answer the phone or not? If not, I've made it public! Don't blame me for leaking secrets! You idiot! You bastard!!"
The faces of several guards showed expressions of astonishment, confusion and a bit of gossip.
Ye Qi felt a little regretful at this time.
Why did I forget to confiscate her communicator and walkie-talkie?
So, he quickly picked up the communicator, walked to the side for a distance, and called over there using the private frequency band.
"What is it? You're no longer a friend of the base, so..."
"Shut your stinky mouth and listen to me! Is your heavily-detained prisoner about to die? Um, or has she already died? She's vomiting blood like crazy, right? Do you have any way to treat her? If not, just listen to me!"
"Do you still have the cosmetics and potions you gave me before? The ones that the old lady hid among the cosmetics at the Tsui Wah Hotel? If you do, give them to her. Maybe they can bring her back to life!"
"Hurry up, it won't be effective if you delay for too long!"
Qiao Lan angrily spouted off a bunch of remarks.
Ye Qi looked around. Could it be that she... was here?
"How do you know the prisoner vomited blood and died?" Where was she hiding and watching?
"Don't talk nonsense. I know what I know. Why should I plant spies? You're already 'dead', why are you still talking nonsense? Hurry up and treat him. Use medicine!"
"...The medicine I asked you for that time was used up long ago." It was used up at the Tsui Wah Hotel.
"Hey! Fall!" Qiao Lan became more and more angry.
Ye Qi subconsciously weakened a little, and said cautiously: "But I have similar medicine here, from... above."
"What are you waiting for? Use it now! When a higher-level awakener dies not long ago, you can use potions to stimulate their resurrection. The chances aren't high, but you can try. Hurry!"
"good."
Ye Qi took out a tightly wrapped small pill from his inner pocket and returned to Yin Wanying.
