In the western area of Nanjin City, on the bumpy road, a group of people were walking fearfully on the road. The roars and roars of the starry sky disaster beasts were heard in the distance from time to time, occasionally mixed with a few human screams.
Meteors fall from time to time in the dark night sky and explode at a certain end of the horizon. Whenever this happens, some people in the fleeing group will start to tremble, fearing that a meteor will fall where they are in the next second. land.
There were about twenty people in this group. Except for the three people walking in the front who were wearing normal clothes, the remaining people who were jostling to squeeze forward were all wearing criminal uniforms.
"Brother Shan, you are so kind. These guys are already death row prisoners. Those prison police who think they are righteous have given up on them. Why should we waste time rescuing them? We might as well go find a few F-level star beasts to earn hero points. .”
The yellow-haired young man on the left among the three people in front complained dissatisfiedly. He did not lower his voice deliberately, so that this ruthless words clearly fell on the ears of the prisoners at the front. The faces of the prisoners It suddenly became a bit ugly, but there was no anger, only fear and worry.
"Death-row prisoners are also human beings, and their lives should also be respected before execution. We are heroes, and it is our duty to save our fellow sufferers. Ding Yi, don't mention this matter again." The burly man walking in the middle had a look on his face. Righteous way.
"Hehe, Shan Liang is right, the three of us are heroes, how can we compare with those prison guards who abuse prisoners all year round." A woman with heavy makeup on the right is close to Shan Liang, her well-developed chest and abdomen are constantly Rubbing Shan Liang's arm.
Ding Yi curled his lips and looked dissatisfied, but did not speak again.
Because when a meteor falls, it will generate extremely high temperatures all around and will be affected within a few hundred meters. Therefore, no plane dares to swing in mid-air at this time, and most Nanjin citizens have evacuated safely within the three hours of escape. , so there are actually not many search and rescue personnel. But there will always be some people who fail to evacuate in time, such as these dozen death row inmates who were directly abandoned by prison guards. These unfortunates are usually rescued by heroes.
Shan Liang and the others originally came together as a team to kill some weaker starry sky disaster beasts to earn hero points. Meteor showers are an excellent way to improve hero rankings. As long as their luck is not too bad, there will be high-level meteors falling around them. , it will not be too dangerous, because although the starry sky disaster beast is violent, it will not chase long-distance targets, and generally will only destroy things around it.
The C-class hero who was burned to ashes by the Chimera was just unfortunate enough to be at the spot where the Chimera fell and did not have time to escape.
Ding Yi originally thought that on this trip to Nanjin for "support", he could kill some F-level star beasts to earn hero points, but he did not expect that this kind-hearted Shan Liang would even save a group of death row prisoners.
Every time the hero ranking increases by one, the monthly national salary he can receive will increase. Ding Yi really can't tolerate wasting time to save a death row prisoner.
The hero ranking is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Maybe those heroes who were originally ranked below him have killed a few Starsteel Giant Beetles and thus surpassed him in points.
When he thought of this possibility, Ding Yi became anxious and angry, but his reason told him that he could not tear up his face and leave alone, because the burly man walking in the middle was a supernatural being who wanted to kill an E-level or above star beast. He needs to rely on Shan Liang's power.
... ...
Due to the damage to the road and the obstruction of collapsed buildings, the group was not moving very fast. In order to avoid the raging starry sky beasts, they often had to take long detours.
The dozen or so prisoners had been in the prison for a long time and most of them were malnourished. As they were rushing along, some of them were soon out of breath. However, in order to survive, they could only grit their teeth and run and walk with the people in front of them.
At this moment, another meteor fell, forming a beautiful arc across the night sky, but such beauty meant that another ugly star beast had come to this land.
The criminals invariably looked up at the sky and confirmed that the meteor had fallen in the distance. They breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time became more nervous. They were worried that the three heroes in front of them would leave them alone and left alone, and they were also afraid that the next meteor would burst. The fantasy of their existence.
The more I want to live, the more I fear death.
"Don't worry, we won't leave you behind."
Shan Liang suddenly turned around, smiled slightly, and said loudly to the prisoners: "Because, we are heroes."
Under the night, his smile was as bright as a star, and his voice was like a warm breeze, soothing.
The criminals lowered their heads one after another, not because they were moved, but to hide the disdain in their eyes - hero? Never give up? Haha, they are all high-sounding lies!
In the face of death and fear, any justice and kindness will be shattered and distorted, and the evil of human nature will occupy consciousness. Reason and conscience can be discarded arbitrarily in order to survive. Even other people's lives are cheap things that can be easily discarded.
These criminals have long been tainted with sin. Because they have killed people, they know that people are about to die and must be crazy. They didn't have any expectations for Shan Liang's promise, but they were under the roof, so even if they disdained it, they wouldn't refute it.
At this time, bowing your head and saying nothing is the best choice.
Shan Liang sighed and stopped talking.
When traveling to a fork in the road, Shan Liang waved to everyone to stop, and then jumped to a nearby high-rise building that had not yet collapsed. He looked at the battle situation in all directions, searched for a while and found the safest direction, and then continued with the Everyone moves forward.
"Shan Liang, these death row prisoners have bad intentions. Instead of being grateful for what you just said, they show disdain. What is the purpose of our hard work to save them? Is it worth it?"
The woman with heavy makeup next to Shan Liang just observed the expressions of the criminals and felt quite unhappy. She also questioned Shan Liang's behavior. However, she was not as direct as Ding Yi. She deliberately lowered her voice. So only the three of them heard this.
Ding Yi immediately echoed: "Brother Shan is too kind, but sometimes kindness is not necessarily correct or just. These death row criminals have killed people and are not worth our efforts to save."
When Shan Liang heard this, he was silent for a moment before he said, "We are heroes."
Isn't it the most basic thing for a hero to save people from danger
Shan Liang's face was slightly gloomy, but his eyes were extremely bright.
"Meteor!" Suddenly a criminal shouted: "The meteor seems to be falling this way!"
The faces of the three people walking in front changed, and they quickly looked up, only to see a shooting star coming from the distant sky. The burning light was dazzling, and it looked extremely hot.
It was falling in the direction where they were!
(ps: A little foreshadowing, the exciting plot is coming soon!)
