Give the Terrans a little shock

"I don't know." Chen Huijie recalled Faust's tired expression, an expression she had never seen on Faust's face in reality, but Chen Huijie affirmed Huihou's efforts.

“But someone has to try.”

"Ha! Maybe? I never thought that one day I would take the initiative to invite an infected person to join our Rhodes Island." Graythroat smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, then turned to look in the direction where Amiya was and said to Chen Huijie who wanted to say something.

"Let's go, Doctor. Amiya is still waiting for our news."

After saying this, Graythroat walked towards Amiya. Upon hearing this, Chen Huijie could only follow Graythroat's pace.

What Chen Huijie didn't notice was that Gray Throat secretly glanced in the direction of the Dragon Gate exit.

"Is there no way back now?"

(Faust and Froststar were the most likely to join Rhodes Island among the Reunion cadres, but it was too late for them to meet and understand Rhodes Island, which resulted in them having no way back.)

Chapter 131 Faust's Choice

Just as Chen Huijie was about to return to Amiya's team with Graythroat, a new screen suddenly popped up in front of her. She was startled for a moment, but on the surface she remained calm and slowed down her pace.

In the picture, several members of the Integration Movement and civilian infected people were fleeing in a panic, but the next second several unknown figures in black appeared behind them, followed by a precise and efficient backstab. The last shot of the picture was the fallen infected person and the black shadow who put away the knife and left.

Chen Huijie, who didn't know her uncle had special powers at this time, felt a little nervous. Was there another special force in Longmen that she had no information about? Who was this force? Was it good or bad? What was the reason for the indiscriminate attack on the infected?

At this moment, in Longmen's largest office, Wei Yanwu, who was lying on his back in the boss chair playing tower defense mode with a pipe in his mouth, felt a pang in his heart. Although he had expected it, when he saw with his own eyes that his hidden power was exposed, he could only sigh, because he knew very well that if such a crisis really happened in Longmen, the choice he made might be no different.

A man in black came out from the shadows and asked quietly, "Duke Wei, do you need to go to Yinjiao?"

Wei Yanwu took a deep breath of smoke, let it pass through his lungs, and then slowly exhaled. Fortunately, Mrs. Wen Yue was away for some time, so he was able to take a break and smoke a bag of cigarettes. In the smoke, his thoughts became clearer and he made a decision.

"It doesn't matter. If he's exposed, let him be exposed. It's too late to ask the other party to change the plot now. I just hope that I won't do that one day like in the game plot."

Then he took another deep puff of the cigarette, trying to gather all his troubles into the smoke and exhale it. The man in black straw raincoat shook his head helplessly, invisible to the naked eye, and chose to retreat back into the shadows.

Wei Yanwu picked up the teacup and wanted to drink a cup of tea to moisten his throat after he finished smoking. Suddenly, he found that the half cup of tea left had gone cold. He mentally complained why Hei Shan, who was on duty today, did not help him pour hot water. He turned around to get some more hot water, and then he discovered something that shocked him.

Wei Yanwu's office door was opened at some point. The only person who could open the door without knocking was that person, and that person had repeatedly forbidden him to smoke. He could even feel that the greatest danger was standing quietly behind him with a deathly gaze. At this moment, a capital letter "Danger" was already highlighted on his forehead.

Just when Wei Yanwu was half dead, Chen Huijie had already reunited with Amiya and others with Gray Throat. They rushed around, frantically destroying the herds that had been stimulated, but new herds were still being born.

On the other side, Faust, who had just sent away another herd of sheep, felt the pain in his body becoming more and more intense. The direct impact was that his throat tasted fishy and sweet. He knew that all this was due to the frequent use of Originium skills and the lack of a good rest, not to mention the injection of Originium inhibitors.

Sister Frost Star had contacted them and was on her way to support them with a few inhibitors that she was reluctant to use. When they last contacted her, they had already seen the exit of Longmen that was open to the outside world.

He suppressed the pain in his body and returned to the new base. As soon as he came in, he saw the depressed Mephistopheles. While listening to his subordinates reporting on the recent situation, Faust walked past Faust and went to an injured subordinate to check on his condition.

Mephisto stood up and wanted to ask Faust why he left him alone, and the Phantom Crossbowman also came to the conclusion at this time that it was only a matter of time before the new stronghold was exposed. They must evacuate here immediately and break through the defense line again to meet up with the people in the slums.

Upon hearing the news, Mephistopheles was very dissatisfied and loudly refuted them.

"Stop making so much noise! ​​Faust, don't worry! You don't have to do dangerous things anymore, because I will add more and stronger herds." After saying that, he gathered spells with both hands and aimed them at an injured subordinate. The others were so frightened that they subconsciously raised their weapons at Mephisto.

Just when Mephisto was about to cast the spell regardless of the consequences, a weak hand suddenly grabbed his hand that was casting the spell and forcibly interrupted the spell.

"Enough! No, don't use that spell anymore." Faust looked seriously at the boy from Liberi whom he had promised to protect since childhood, but now the other party has become so unfamiliar to him. He didn't know what went wrong. He was fine when he was with Sister Tallulah.

"But..." Mephisto turned and looked at him in disbelief. For him, if he didn't use this spell, how could he help the two of them break through?

Faust, who couldn't figure out many things, stared expressionlessly at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces of his former companions. Then he turned to look at his own team and said words that made Mephistopheles feel cold all over.

"Tied up Mephisto.

I will create opportunities to break through."

After finishing speaking, Faust took out a map and began to lay out a battle plan. They needed to attract all the current herds to one place, attract the attention of the Lungmen Guards, and create conditions for a new round of breakthroughs.

Out of Mephistopheles's reach, Faust identified the most suitable location to attract the herds to gather. Now all he needed was a bait to lead the herds to attack the defense line and create opportunities for them.

One of the phantom crossbowmen was about to step forward and say that he was willing to be the bait, but Faust said firmly: "I will be the bait, you just take Mephisto and evacuate."

"But..." Just when someone wanted to persuade Faust, Faust finally couldn't help coughing, coughing up a few strands of scarlet blood, and his nose bleed couldn't stop flowing.

The horrified Phantom Crossbowmen subconsciously searched their bags to find the Originium Inhibitor, but they couldn't find even a single drop.

The Phantom Crossbowman who found that he could do nothing suddenly choked up, took off his mask and couldn't help wiping away his tears. They had watched Faust grow up, and they even taught him how to use a crossbow. But now they could only watch Faust's condition worsen and were powerless to do anything.

After coughing a few times, Faust, who felt better, wiped the blood from his nose with his sleeve. He asked a subordinate in charge of medical care to stop the bleeding, then looked at everyone and said.

"My body... has reached its limit, so it's most appropriate for me to be the bait. Mephisto, I'll leave it to you to take it back."

After saying this, Faust glanced covertly in a certain direction. He had always suspected that someone was remotely monitoring them through some Originium spell, otherwise the Guards would not have been prepared in advance to resist the impact of the herd and provide medical protection when they broke out of Area 16.

Chen Huijie, who had been watching Faust's plan through the screen, noticed the other party's gaze, especially when she heard that Faust was going to sacrifice himself as the bait. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should notify the guards on that line of defense in advance to let them go, so she could only remain silent for the time being.

(When I was halfway through writing this chapter yesterday, I suddenly realized that it was a bit unlucky to post this during the New Year, so I didn't continue writing. I wanted to post two chapters today to make up for it, but I was really unwell today. I woke up with dizziness and tinnitus, and my body was weak. I could only lie down and rest. It took a long time before I finished this chapter. I didn't even have lunch until 7 o'clock in the evening.

By the way, I want to add the most important thing, which is: Happy 2024! I wish all the readers who are willing to follow my works good health, smooth work and study, and preferably be happy and worry-free every day. I also wish me to land soon and be stable and fully present.

May we pray for a good harvest and wait for the coming of spring when everything is new!

Chapter 132 Faust's End

Soon, according to the established plan, Faust and his team of Phantom Crossbowmen successfully gathered most of the out-of-control and violent herds on one street by creating a big noise, and then blew up nearby buildings as planned, temporarily blocking the herds behind obstacles.

After doing all this, Faust, whose body was on the verge of collapse, stood at the place closest to the obstacle and turned to look at the Phantom Crossbowman and others who were holding Mephisto and preparing to evacuate.

Having made up his mind, he used up his last bit of strength to gather the best Originium spell of his life in his palm. He looked at everyone with a firm gaze and said, "I will use this spell to protect you, no matter if you are in the hands of the Dragon Gate Guards or the men in black, absolutely."

The captain of the Phantom Crossbowmen who was carrying Mephisto on his shoulders stared blankly at the young boy they had watched grow up. He had a thousand words to say, but in the end he could only say, "Okay, got it."

On the contrary, Mephistopheles was unhappy to hear this. He struggled to fall off the captain's shoulders while being tied up, and tried to look at his best partner. Mephistopheles seemed to realize something and was really anxious this time. He shouted desperately.

"No, no! Stop it!

That's not the case! Stop right now!"

The captain quickly helped Mephistopheles up again and stopped him from running towards Faust. Powerless to resist, Mephistopheles could only try to impress his childhood friend with words and even called out Faust's real name.

"Sasha! Didn't we agree that we would always be together?

Let's go back to Sister Tallulah! Okay? Let's go back together!"

Maybe it was because of the mention of Tallulah and Faust, no, Sasha suddenly recalled the first time they met Tallulah. At that time, Tallulah and Alina held them in their arms and comforted them softly, and took them away from that devil's cave, and spent a happy time in the snowfield with the guerrillas. He could even remember that whenever the two of them were frightened and couldn't sleep, Sister Froststar would stay by their side and sing lullabies to put them to sleep.

But when did all these beautiful memories disappear? Was it when Alina was carried back by Tallulah? Or when Tallulah chose to burn down the cannibalistic village? Or when she chose to take off her Ursus noble clothes and put on that set of clothes?

Sasha finally noticed so many things that were wrong at this moment, but he no longer had the ability to go back to investigate. The severe pain in his body even made him unable to speak. He could only say in a hoarse voice the coldest words Mephisto had ever heard in his life in response to his exhausted calls.

“Ino, maybe it was the right choice for us to abandon everything and run away from there at that time.

I've had enough of hurting people and seeing people get hurt."

Mephisto was still trying to win back his childhood friend, but he saw the other party cast an Originium spell.

"Before, you asked me what my ideal was, right?

My answer has always been, I hope you can live with a smile.

Even if I become alone, I can survive. Please help me realize it.

Ino."

This should be the last time Faust used his Originium spell, and the effect was to make the Phantom Crossbowman team and Mephisto, whose mouth was covered, completely disappear on the spot without a trace, and then remain invisible while moving, but the price was that his infected organs were completely ruptured.

The violent herd that was blocked on the other side finally climbed up the obstacle, struggled to fall from the height, climbed up without feeling any pain, and rushed towards Faust, who had already sensed the danger.

Faust, whose remaining life force was already burning out, looked back in the direction of Ursus again. He wiped the blood from his nose for the last time, which had appeared at some unknown time. He took off all his equipment, and led the violent herd to the designated location with only a crossbow in his arms.

At the designated location, the movement of the herd had been noticed long ago. The Guards, who had received the news in advance, had already set up a tight net here, and hundreds of carefully cleaned crossbows were aimed at the empty street ahead.

Soon, a running figure appeared at the corner at the end of the street. After he struggled to run for a distance, countless violent herds of cattle followed his footsteps and appeared from the corner.

At this moment, as long as he could continue to run forward for a distance, he would be able to enter the defense line of the Guards, but he stopped. He knew that the other party would never let him pass. He also saw that the other party had aimed their crossbows at him and behind him. It seemed that the commander on the opposite side had already roared and given orders.

Although he couldn't understand what the other party meant, he could see the rain of arrows shooting towards him.

Faced with a desperate situation, he put the bow and arrow on the string, drew the bowstring, and took aim, for the last time.

The people of Rhodes Island standing on the high platform not far away looked at this Reunion cadre who was fighting against the rain of arrows alone. Gray Throat stared at the figure of the other party raising the crossbow. Amiya could not bear to watch it anymore. Huang sat dejectedly on the edge of the rooftop. Chen Huijie sighed. This might be one of the Reunion cadres she least wanted to see end.

At this time, the Phantom Crossbowmen team who successfully broke through to the slums on the other side looked at the invisibility spell that suddenly dissipated. They knew that their captain Sasha was dead.

Mephisto had stopped crying. He lay on the captain's shoulder in silence, as if he had lost his soul.

A member of the Reunion Movement who had broken through with the Phantom Crossbowman checked Mephisto's condition, confirmed that he was not injured, and sighed.

"He's fine, but his eyes look like he's brain-dead." Then he looked towards the outer ring of the dragon gate, looked at the place where Faust last disappeared, and shook his head.

"I can't pity him. I pity Faust. He saved my life and is a good commander."

The captain put Mephisto down and checked him again. He was relieved after confirming that he was just too sad and autistic and was fine. If he couldn't even fulfill Sasha's last request, he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He then grabbed the member of the Integration Movement who was about to leave, and the other party looked at him with some confusion.

"What's it to me?"

"Leave the city together, and your chances of survival will be greater."

This one sentence left the other person speechless. Who doesn’t want to live longer?

"...Okay, let's go."

Then he saw the captain carrying Mephisto again and asked in some doubt: "Where are you taking him?"

"Faust said that he doesn't want us to take him back to Chernobyl." Then the captain turned his head to look at Mephisto, who was still depressed, and sighed.

"But where can he go now?" Several Reunion cadres emerged in the captain's mind. Sister Froststar was hostile to him, Big Patriot threatened to kill him, cadre W didn't like him either, and cadre Regslayer was even more unwilling to associate with him. Suddenly, the captain didn't know who to hand Mephisto over to.

As if noticing the team leader's embarrassing situation, the member of the Integration Movement took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"How long have you been with Faust?"

Hearing this, the surviving Phantom Crossbowmen couldn't help but laugh, and the person who asked the question was filled with doubts.

"Ha...In the beginning, he was the one following us." said one person.

"Four or five years ago, Faust didn't know any tactics and wasn't very good at using the crossbow. We taught him all these things step by step," said another person.

"He kept learning, kept practicing, sparring with the Yeti, training with the Patriot soldiers, and he became stronger and stronger..." Some people recalled Faust's hard work.

"Both Patriot and Froststar taught him. Later he became our captain. Although we don't call him that, he deserves the title."

"You're lucky."

"Ha, maybe. Crossbowmen, don't save your high-explosive crossbow ammunition."

“These are OK…”

“Faust has always insisted on doing this for our fallen teammates!

It’s never a waste to show respect!”

"That's...okay."

Chapter 133: Ah? Her old nine is gone?

Faust falls, and Graymaw takes his crossbow with him.

Chen Huijie looked at the people who were silently mourning Faust. In the slums in the distance, many high-explosive grenades exploded in the air, like imperfect fireworks, or more like a farewell to Faust. At least at this moment, he was a true warrior fighting for the infected.

But what made her even more uncomfortable was that in the scene in front of her, Sir Chen was leading a team of the Royal Guards walking in a deserted slum, and the alleys were full of the bodies of the Reunion Movement and infected civilians.

This tragedy was incomprehensible to Chen Huijie, who lived in the world created by Yinjiao, where the infected and the vast majority of residents on the land of Terra could coexist harmoniously. She didn't understand why people in another time and space would harbor such great malice towards the infected.

Graythroat gently wiped Faust's broken crossbow, looking at the fallen herds, infected people and Guards officers in front of her. Many people were sleeping here forever, and she asked with some confusion.

"Amiya, Rhodes Island, what are you fighting for?

I always thought that Rhodes Island was fighting for the infected. However, those who participated in the battle and fell in front of me were all infected. "

Graythroat finally cleaned the crossbow and held it in his arms. Then he turned to look at Amiya and expressed the confusion in her heart. "Why?"

Just as Amiya was about to explain, Huang sneered with a slightly contemptuous smile: "'I don't understand the pain of you infected people', you said that before."

"So, what?" Graythroat did not deny that she did say that.
