Chapter 166: "You are our last hope"
“…”
Su Mingan did not answer.
The hope of answering this man had long since died.
He was just a passer-by who took over Qinwang's body and came purely for the mission.
The grievances and hatreds of these people had nothing to do with him, and he didn't care. It was only because it was related to the mission that he put in his greatest energy.
He closed his eyes and felt his consciousness fading away bit by bit.
"call……"
He heard the sound of wind, ringing in his ears, scratching his earlobes, like the fluttering feathers of a baby bird.
The trend of getting colder suddenly stopped, and his body was quickly pulled up by a force. Amid the "crackling" sound of a piece of solid ice being forcibly broken, he felt the dry and cold wind blowing past his cheek.
He opened his eyes.
The man in black was covered in blood, like he was wearing a bloody windbreaker.
There was a huge bloody wound on his body, and blood was still gushing out wildly.
Everything around him seemed to be frozen. The spreading ice and snow froze in mid-air, and the particles of dirt splashed by the energy were clearly visible.
Chen Yang pulled himself up to block the icy cold that was quickly coming from all around, and opened a large umbrella to block all the wind and snow.
He used all his strength to break through Shengqi's defense line and lifted Su Mingan up before the ice completely solidified.
"I don't know why Qinwang chose you."
Chen Yang was seriously injured. After forcibly breaking through the defense line and pulling Su Ming'an out, his voice became broken, mixed with painful gasps like a beast, and each sound seemed to be stained with blood:
"…But I know you have no choice."
Chen Yang said, using all his strength to throw him up from the ice and snow:
"You are the one we long to choose, and you are our last hope..."
The ice froze up bit by bit, and when it was lifted up, thrown high into the sky, and quickly wrapped by the light of space, Su Ming calmed down and saw the man in black who was surrounded by the crystal cold, with a pair of eyes as bright as fire.
"...Although it is shameless to entrust such an important mission to an outsider like you." Chen Yang said as his body was covered by frost little by little, gradually freezing his steps completely.
"But... please forgive us for carrying his expectations..."
Chen Yang's voice became softer and softer, and his words gradually became fragmented and unclear. The water in his eyes slipped away quietly, like a wave of light quietly disappearing in the waves.
The cold and lonely dark blue spread out with him as the center, as if a thick layer of oil paint was splashed on the surrounding space.
Su Mingan looked at him steadily.
The look in this person's eyes, at this moment, is extremely similar to Hui Shuhang's in the first round.
In the first week, Hui Shuhang was greeted with a meaningless death.
Her body had once scattered like feathers, leaving no trace at all, and suddenly it disintegrated bit by bit and disappeared before their eyes.
They all wanted him to live so badly... even if the price was that they would die like moths to a flame. They had always been determined to have a "future", blindly believing that they would succeed, even if they would never see that future again.
A guide in the darkness who dies at night will never see the dawn.
…
[——I will definitely let you live safely until after the festival.]
…
Su Mingan suddenly understood the meaning of Hui Shuhang's words.
When Su Mingan saw Chen Yang's surprisingly bright eyes, he felt a sense of déjà vu.
It seemed that, somewhere, he had also been lifted up without hesitation like this, and the other person's eyes were the same, as if he was looking at the hope of the whole world.
Later, such sights became more and more common, and gradually made him numb. It seemed that in every dungeon world, he could see such people, looking at him like this.
He stared at the morning sun, watching him fall until the inky black color completely disappeared from his sight.
As he was gently lifted up and wrapped by the halo of space, he saw Sheng Qi's eyes not far away, also looking at him, with a dead look in his eyes.
The teleportation was already in place, and during the brief moment when he was blocked by Chen Yang, Sheng Qi could no longer stop himself from leaving.
The blood-red mark on the shoulder gradually disappeared, but the pain still existed.
Su Mingan spat out a mouthful of blood, gradually became unconscious, and his figure disappeared in the white waves of space.
In the forest, as the sunlight slanted down, only a dead silence covered by ice and snow remained.
…
【The boss battle ends automatically. 】
[You have officially left the regular army and joined the revolutionary army faction. ]
【Perfect clearance progress 65%】
[Survival probability: increased by 11.3%]
…
When he gradually regained consciousness, the first thing Su Mingan felt was the coldness spreading throughout his body.
The air was a little dry and chilly, and he could hear the popping of sparks, as if a fire was burning.
There was a clear sound of a spoon hitting a porcelain bowl, not far from him, as if someone was having a meal.
He didn't open his eyes, but looked at the barrage first.
[…It shouldn’t matter, in this situation.]
[Why do I feel like this is not good? Su Mingan didn’t change his clothes. He’s still wearing the uniform with the military emblem. He was mistaken for a regular military officer…]
[I don't think there's any problem. Brother Ming'an can't beat that ceiling boss, but he has no problem beating ordinary monsters. I'm mainly worried that some players will attack secretly... It seems that there should be a lot of players hiding in this area. ]
