Chapter 91 The weak also want to survive

The next morning, Chen Jian was awakened by Zeng Yi.

When he opened his eyes, sunlight was already shining in through the church window.

The others had already put on their full gear and were on standby, while Li Shi and Xie Liu had already fallen on the bed, sleeping as if in a coma.

Chen Jian sat up and saw that Zeng Yi's face had turned a bit dark blue due to excessive fatigue, so he quickly said:
"We'll take over. You should take some time to rest."

Zeng Yi shook his head and replied:
"I'm afraid I won't be able to rest."

"Someone is coming from the Holy Blood Temple."

"so fast?"

Chen Jian stood up in astonishment, and while putting on his equipment, he asked:
"Who? Where are you from?"

"He came from Hanshui City. He is a Blood Originator named Zhou Qin. He is Zhou Yan's deputy."

"I don't recognize the other one, but judging by the mark on his blood-stained shirt, he is also a Source Blood."

"These two are very strong. If we calculate based on their combat power, they may be more than twice as strong as me."

"Whatever they are here for, if you want to come into contact with them, it's better for me to stay with you."

"If it's safer, we can wake up Li Shi and the others as well."

".never mind."

Chen Jian shook his head and said after thinking for a moment:
"Just wake up Xie Liu. Li Shi is still injured, let him rest first."

"There are only two origin blood holders. No matter how strong they are, they can't make any waves."

"Come on, let's go meet them."

"The hand holding the knife has been cut off by us. The hand that is extended this time should be holding the flower."

As he spoke, Chen Jian fastened the hinges of the exoskeleton.

The motor started humming, and the weapon rack unfolded. He strode out the door with Shen Yue and others, while Zeng Yi woke up Xie Liu and followed closely behind.

After walking out of the church, led by Huang Yu, a group of seven people walked all the way to the outside of Huangshi City. The city defense soldiers who had obviously been awakened by Huang Yu and were sitting near various bunkers to rest followed one by one, guarding them with weapons in hand.

No commands were needed; their actions came naturally.

When Chen Jian walked out of the residential area, the city defense forces had spontaneously walked in front of him and blocked all possible attack routes by "encircling and crowding".
-
This is obviously not a scientific escort plan, but Chen Jian knows that this is the greatest loyalty of these new warriors.

A few minutes later, everyone reached the lake shore, where there was no one.

But when Chen Jian looked into the distance, he saw a white flag waving across the lake.

He raised the telescope and saw two Holy Blood Men wearing the blood-stained uniforms unique to the Holy Blood Temple.

"Is it them?"

Chen Jian asked Zeng Yi.

Zeng Yi nodded and replied:
"Yes."

"I have communicated with them before through hand gestures - they want to go to the island."

"We don't know what their purpose is at the moment, but the white flag they raised means they are here to negotiate."

"But I suggest you be cautious. I've been in the Holy Blood Temple for so long, but I'm still on the periphery."

"I don't know what special methods they have hidden."

"If you want to make contact, it's best to control them first."

"Makes sense."

Chen Jian said thoughtfully:

"We have to let them come over, but we have to make sure they can't hurt anyone. Let them take off their clothes and swim over."

"Wouldn't this be too damaging to their dignity?"

Zeng Yi couldn't help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth, but in such a serious occasion, he didn't dare to laugh out loud.

He just coughed and said:
"If they don't want to be insulted and just walk away, then there's nothing we can talk about."

"Don't worry, they won't leave." Chen Jian said firmly:
"What right do the defeated have to talk about dignity?"

"If you want to live, you have to listen to me!"

Half an hour later, the naked Zhou Qin and the Source Blood Person Zhang Hui beside him swam to the lake shore and successfully landed on the Island of Death that terrified them.

The tattered clothes that had been prepared on the ground made them feel greatly insulted, but when they looked up at the guns pointed at them, the trace of self-esteem and pride in their hearts instantly disappeared.

No, it wasn’t the guns or the cannons that frightened them.

They weren't even the three iron warriors wearing strange iron armor and with weapons sticking out of their backs like monsters.

But the people in front and behind them.

Those weak, hunchbacked residents of Yellowstone City who were regarded as ants by themselves
Now they have completely changed their appearance.

They stood straight, holding weapons in their hands, and looked at him without any fear in their eyes. Instead, they even had a bit of ferocity, like monsters that were ready to devour anyone.

Zhou Qin had no doubt that if he dared to do anything dangerous at this time, those people would definitely tear him to pieces with the weapons in their hands.

How did they become like this?
How long have these mimetic heretics and these so-called "chosen ones" been here?
The plague had clearly spread.
What Zhou Qin didn't understand was that if it was an infectious disease like the blood skeleton that transformed people into bloodthirsty monsters, it might be called a plague.

But if it is something that turns cowards into warriors like it is now, is it also a plague?

There was no trace of confusion in these people's eyes.

They knew exactly what they were doing, and even though their eyes were filled with undisguised hatred, they remained extremely calm under a certain powerful aura.
This is definitely a disturbing fact.

But Zhou Qin now has no qualifications to explore more.

He put on the clothes on the ground to cover his body, then turned to the "Chosen Ones" opposite him and said humbly:

"Chosen ones, we come here in peace."

"The battle is over and we have paid the price for our stupid prejudices."

"Thousands of lives have been lost in meaningless fights. This is a painful lesson."

"Misunderstandings will only make conflicts worse. I think we should put aside misunderstandings and talk peacefully."

"We are willing to take responsibility for the mistakes we have made, even though we are so weak now that we are not worth mentioning."

"There are still thousands of residents in Hanshui City, and they are completely shrouded in fear."

"Even if it's not for me, please be kind to them."

After Zhou Qin finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on Chen Jian's face.

He looked at the other party from a distance and said with a hint of sarcasm:

"I thought you would be a little tougher."

"But now it seems that you are still quite good at talking."

Zhou Qin's face was full of bitterness.

He didn't know how to answer this question.

tough?

He did intend to be a little tougher.

At least, I won’t suffer humiliation like I do now, and have to fawn over others to please them.

However, before going to the island, he went to Yuqingzhou.

He saw the remains of the huge explosion.

Then he realized that his so-called toughness would only accelerate his death.

If that's the case, why bother pretending to be nice?

He looked up at Chen Jian, who was more than ten meters away, and said:
“I just realized how weak I was.”

"Please forgive us for the big mistake we made, because weak people also want to survive."
