Chapter 173: Chen Lian sacrifices, the 23rd logistics team is about to be wiped out
Lin Jiu looked at the black lines on Zhou Kai's arm and paused.
"What is this?" Lin Jiu raised his eyes, looked at Zhou Kai and asked.
"Curse." Zhou Kai lowered his eyes.
When the weird is contaminated, black lines will grow on the arms. The residents of the weird world call them curse lines.
"When this pattern spreads to my heart, I will die."
What is pollution to the weird?
They need pollution to live and will eventually die from it.
This is the curse, the "fate" that every weirdo cannot escape.
As long as it appears, it means the strange life countdown has begun. Even if Zhou Kai is rescued now, he may not survive for more than a week.
Lin Jiu was silent.
All right.
It seems there is no way to save him.
Looking at the silent Lin Jiu, Zhou Kai suddenly chuckled.
“I was like that when I was young.”
Zhou Kai fell into a brief memory.
It is normal for young people to have dreams of being heroes.
Because of this, every newcomer will have a compulsory course.
That is: sometimes, not everyone can be rescued.
Whether it is trapped people or teammates.
Even in ordinary missions, there will be times when you are faced with witnessing death and sacrifice.
But Zhou Kai didn't know that Lin Jiu's silence was not because of sadness, he just simply felt sorry.
There's not a lot of emotion involved.
He is now considering whether to go deeper into the pollution tide.
“Xiaojiu…”
At this time, Zhou Kai suddenly called him.
Hearing the voice, Lin Jiu raised his eyes.
Zhou Kai's voice suddenly became very soft, and the black lines had spread to his shoulders.
"Take me there. I'm a little tired and want to lean against something to rest for a while." Zhou Kai turned his head and looked at a dilapidated building not far away.
There were traces of bombing and destruction all over it, and many corpses could be seen around.
Lin Jiu turned his head to look at the battlefield. The strange creature had already fallen down, and its octopus claws moved weakly on the ground from time to time.
The gunshots faded.
"Can."
Lin Jiu nodded, stepped forward, and according to the analysis in his mind, gently picked up Zhou Kai.
He carried Zhou Kai to the dilapidated building. There were some body parts on the ground. There were not many intact bodies, but two of them were very conspicuous.
After carrying Zhou Kai over, Lin Jiu discovered that the person who was cut in half on the ground was Xie Tian, and the body whose chest was pierced through the wall was Xue Wenbo.
Lin Jiu paused, he didn't expect that the reason Zhou Kai came here was actually because of this.
Zhou Kai didn't say anything. His breathing became a little weak at this moment, and black curse lines could be seen on his neck.
Lin Jiu gently placed Zhou Kai in a relatively clean place and then sat beside him.
The battle over there is nearing its end and does not require Lin Jiu's additional support.
Zhou Kai on the side remained silent. He seemed to be adjusting his breathing, but failed. His eyes were fixed on the bodies of Xie Tian and Xue Wenbai, and finally he silently withdrew his gaze.
Although this team is newly established and the members have only been together for a short time, Zhou Kai still attaches great importance to them.
Besides, they were all still young, it would be such a pity if they died like this.
Although he himself is the same.
Zhou Kai raised his head slightly and looked at the sky.
The wound no longer hurts as much, but perhaps because his life is counting down, Zhou Kai is still a little dazed.
The curse lines on his body were spreading at an unusually fast speed due to the high pollution levels in the area. Zhou Kai took a look and felt far from calm.
In fact, most of the members of the executive department died because of the curse lines, but Zhou Kai still hoped that he could die directly on the battlefield rather than waiting for death to come.
In fact, Zhou Kai could have avoided that attack before.
But he knew he was going to die, so he thought about detonating the bomb on his body to buy time for others.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiu suddenly appeared and pushed him away.
Zhou Kai turned to look at Lin Jiu, who was sitting quietly beside him, his face as calm as if this was not a battlefield.
"Aren't you afraid?" Zhou Kai asked.
The pollution level here is very high. Even if it doesn't go deep, it will not be a good thing for human beings if it continues for a long time.
This increases the risk of death.
Lin Jiu shook his head.
"Everyone will die," he said. "Besides, I won't die."
Lin Jiu said the second half of the sentence while looking at Zhou Kai.
He spoke calmly, yet revealed a strong sense of certainty and confidence.
Zhou Kai was slightly stunned.
It seemed that it was not until this moment that he realized that Lin Jiu was different.
"Is that so..." Zhou Kai said in a low voice and turned his head away.
Seeing this, Lin Jiu also turned his head and continued to look into the distance.
They were not far away from the team, so Lin Jiu could clearly hear the voices of the members of Team 3 crying and calling Chen Lian's name.
Chen Lian also died.
However, compared to Xie Tian and Xue Wenbai, her body was the most complete one.
She just lay there quietly, her helmet gone somewhere, her face pale.
Chen Lian was blown away by the shockwaves of the explosion, causing her internal organs to shatter and put her on the verge of death. Then, as the pollution level increased, she passed away quietly.
Zhou Kai didn't seem to know, so Lin Jiu said, "Team Three has no captain anymore."
Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Sacrifice is common here."
With the second outbreak of pollution, I'm afraid the companies here will suffer heavy losses again.
I don't know when it will recover...
Lin Jiu didn't reply. Zhou Kai's breathing had become very light at this time.
He turned around and saw that the curse lines had spread to Zhou Kai's face and were probably not far from his heart.
"It was so sudden." Lin Jiu said, "You all died so suddenly."
Accidents are always like this. Zhou Kai just curled the corners of his lips and said nothing.
He didn't seem to have much strength left to speak.
On his deathbed, a look of reminiscence emerged on Zhou Kai's face. Lin Jiu thought that he was probably recalling his own life.
It seems to be called...
Oh yes, a revolving lantern.
Lin Jiu hugged his knees with his hands, resting his head on his knees and watching Zhou Kai fall into a brief revolving door.
The whole process was very quick, even though Zhou Kai was just recalling his past life.
In just a few seconds, Zhou Kai came back to his senses from his memories and returned to reality.
"What a shame..." Zhou Kai murmured, "You clearly agreed... that you would come... to my team."
His speech became even more intermittent, as it was almost entirely breathless. Lin Jiu even had to ask for help to figure out what he was saying.
Looking at the words on the prompt box, Lin Jiu remained silent.
Yes, I agreed to go to Logistics Team 23...but in the end, there was no such opportunity at all.
Not only was the copy about to end, but they all died when Lin Jiu was not around.
Zhou Kai survived, but in the end he was doomed.
Really, I don't know whether to say it's bad luck or what...
