Zhang Tie had been listening quietly. It was only at this moment that he held Aurora's hand tightly and looked at Aurora seriously, "I won't let you die here!"
Aurora smiled and regarded Zhang Tie's words as pure comfort, "I know that if it weren't for me this time, you might not be here. Speaking of which, I was the one who dragged you down!"
"Don't be stupid, I came here on my own and it has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"I find that although you are a bit of a jerk, you are quite cute sometimes!" Aurora's eyes looked into the distance, "Can I lend you my shoulder?"
Zhang Tie nodded, and Aurora leaned her head over meekly.
The two people looked into the distance, and no one spoke for a while.
"Do you know what was going through my head when I just found out that I was going to die in a month here?"
Aurora whispered in Zhang Tie's ear. It looked like a whisper between lovers, but the content of the words was cruel.
"what's on your mind?"
"My first feeling at that time was fear. It was the first time I felt the preciousness and weight of life. Then I realized that I was so stupid. The problem of the Gray Eagle Tribe was actually very simple. I had made it complicated by thinking too much. , you are right. In fact, I only need to summon the two old guys Oliyev and Juventus and their supporters, let them swear allegiance to me, and chop off the head of anyone who is not convinced. Because I can decide their life and death, so they will definitely obey me and must obey me."
Zhang Tie did not expect that Aurora's mind would undergo such a transformation at this time, but this is a good thing, at least for the Gray Eagle tribe, Zhang Tie is sure. With the support of Elder Moko, as long as one or two people's heads are cut off, the rest will definitely surrender. Aurora didn't have the courage to fight to the death, let alone those people.
Aurora has truly matured.
Suffering makes people mature. This saying is really true.
Thinking of Gang Gula's crazy eyes and the clean and crisp way he gave orders today, Zhang Tie's heart suddenly tightened, and he asked Aurora a question. "Gangula should not be a person who waits to die. What is his plan?"
Hearing Zhang Tie ask about Gang Gula's plan, Aurora's face paled, she shook her head resolutely, and said in a firm tone, "You don't want to know about that mad dog's plan. I would rather die than be like him." Live as arranged!"
Zhang Tie closed his eyes and opened them again after a few seconds. "Is he planning to kill people? Before the pioneers consume all the supplies and dry food they brought, he doesn't even have to wait three days. He will kill the pioneers first, collect the supplies from the pioneers, and pass The battle with the pioneers will also consume some of the warriors of the tribal alliance, so that the gathered supplies can support the remaining people for a longer period of time. At least in terms of water supply, the tribal alliance will not be like So nervous now.”
Aurora nodded heavily. Although Zhang Tie did not participate in the meeting between the senior leaders of the tribal alliance, he could infer these contents. This has to be said that Zhang Tie is amazing.
"Just like this, Gangula also plans to implement a hierarchical rationing system and an isolation system for the sick and wounded. Under these two systems, once the warriors of the tribal alliance are injured or sick, they will soon die because they do not get enough supplies and treatment. Die!"
Aurora's voice held an uncontrollable sadness. "Gangula thought that others could not see his plan, but in fact, everyone knew it. After wiping out the pioneers and eliminating the wounded and sick in the tribal alliance, with Gangula's ruthlessness, the next step was to get enough supplies and allow the remaining people to persist here longer. Except for the wild bear tribe, other small and medium-sized tribes will only be abandoned by him one by one as a burden or find ways to kill them! It is for this reason that today’s At the end of the meeting, everyone was in a quarrel. Except for the Wild Bear Tribe, the other tribes can only unite to negotiate terms with Gangula!"
From Aurora's words, Zhang Tie learned what happened after the meeting of the tribal alliance. At this critical moment of life and death, other small and medium-sized tribes in the tribal alliance did not give in this time. Instead, they proposed to Gangula that the tribes should agree on the rights of each tribe. The requirements for a fair proportion of warriors to be dispatched to the battle, a fair distribution of supplies and for other small and medium-sized tribes to take over the two water sources from the Wild Bear Tribe were all rejected by Gangula without exception.
If they were outside, those small and medium-sized tribes would not have the guts to make these demands to Gangula. But at this moment, at this critical moment of life and death, no one could care about it. Although the Wild Bear Tribe is strong, at this time, once the Wild Bear Tribe Falling out with other small and medium-sized tribes in the tribal alliance is equivalent to forcing those small and medium-sized tribes to side with the pioneers. This is a burden that the Wild Bear Tribe and Gangula cannot bear.
At this time, Zhang Tie realized that in just half a day, cracks and divisions had already appeared within the tribal alliance. In order to survive, everyone tried their best to survive.
"Seton is here. He probably has something to do with me. I'm leaving!"
Downstairs in the ruins, Seton walked over and looked up at this side. Just today, he brought the warriors of the Gray Eagle tribe to join Aurora. Unexpectedly, he plunged into the Jedi and saw it again. This man, Zhang Tie noticed that Seton's face was a little more dignified and bitter.
Aurora kissed Zhang Tie gently on the cheek, then put on the mask herself, floated gently down from the roof, and left with Seton.
Zhang Tie watched Aurora leave without moving. At this moment, Zhang Tie's heart was filled with unknown entanglements. This entanglement may be related to Zhang Tie's own life and death, and more likely to be related to the ruins in front of him. The lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people.
In his seventeen-year life journey, no decision has ever made Zhang Tie so conflicted and difficult to choose.
Should he sit back and watch with peace of mind, allowing himself and the few people he cares about to survive until the end, or should he stand up bravely, take huge risks, and lead these people who have fallen into the trap with him out...
Zhang Tie doesn’t know!
he asked Heller.
"My lord, the Black Iron Castle is enough to meet the drinking water needs of tens of thousands of people here. The large amount of grain and meat stored in it is enough to keep the people here for more than three months. Such an important decision can only be made by your lord." The decision you make by yourself can only come from the true heart of the Lord of the Fortress and nothing else. No matter what decision the Lord of the Fortress makes, I support it!"
Heller's answer made Zhang Tie even more confused. Zhang Tie didn't know what his true heart was.
Why don’t you know what your truest heart is
How could you not know
Zhang Tie sat blankly on the roof of the ruins. Thinking about this problem, I slowly forgot myself...
…
In this state, Zhang Tie completely forgot the concept of time. There was no sun or moon underground, and he didn't know how long it had been. It was probably a day or two. Zhang Tie only felt that people were coming and going downstairs, and in the distance. After all the confusion, Aurora came to his side again. After looking at him carefully for a while, he told him a message in a sad and sarcastic tone.
"Gangula has reached a secret agreement with the leaders of other small and medium-sized tribes in the tribal alliance. As long as the leaders of each tribe support him, Gangula will ensure that several important figures from each tribe will survive in the end. According to Gangula's plan, here In the end, there were about two to three hundred people. We can hold on until three months later, until outside rescue forces reopen the passage!"
After hearing the news, Zhang Tie's back turned. The place that had been whipped in Tianhan City seemed to be burning.
Gang Gula's plan finally boiled down to one sentence - the big guys will survive until the end, and the little guys will die. The smaller the guys will die first, to free up resources, so the big guys all agreed.
"Tomorrow, the forces of the Tribal Alliance will officially begin to clear out and strangle the pioneers in this ruins until all the pioneers are killed! In order for the warriors of the Gray Eagle Tribe to survive, I will participate in the battle. I will fight with My soldiers will die together, rather than the last one surviving alone!”
After saying this, Aurora left.
Zhang Tie felt as if something had stabbed him in his heart. It feels a little painful.
Is this heartache? Is this my heart
Zhang Tie was confused...
…
Aurora left, and after an unknown amount of time, Sabrina and her two guards arrived at the ruins of the building with only the skeleton left.
"Miss, what's wrong with Peter? I heard someone said that ever since he knew that everyone would be trapped here and might not be able to get out, Peter was scared to death!"
"Shut up!"
Zhang Tie heard the footsteps of Sabrina and her two guards. The three of them were still downstairs, far away from Zhang Tie. The whispered conversation between Sabrina and one of the guards was clearly transmitted to Zhang Tie. in the ears.
For some unknown reason, Zhang Tie found that his hearing at this time was much more sensitive than before.
The three people came to Zhang Tie. Sabrina knelt down and gently touched Zhang Tie's face, which was staring into the distance and looking a little silly. She found that Zhang Tie could not even move his eyes at this time. , couldn't help but sigh, and said softly, "My little man, don't worry, we can still maintain contact with the outside world. The rescue teams sent by the Wild Bear Tribe and other tribes will arrive in a few days. We As long as we persist here for three months, they will definitely be able to rescue us, and as long as I can get out alive, I will definitely be able to get you out!"
After saying this, Sabrina kissed Zhang Tie gently on the lips and left. The two guards around her left some water and some food beside Zhang Tie.
After finding something to eat, Zhang Tie seemed to feel that he was a little hungry. He did not reach out to take those things, but his consciousness just moved. The sweet solution of full-effect medicine stored in the Black Iron Castle, It had appeared in Zhang Tie's mouth and was swallowed by Zhang Tie.
…
I don’t know how long it took before Sam and Gerry appeared in front of Zhang Tie.
"Peter, Sam and I are here to say goodbye to you. Sam and I discussed it. We have been pioneers for such a long time. At this time, we should return to the ranks of pioneers. Anyway, everyone There is no way to leave, and it is impossible to hold on until the day when the underground passage is reopened. If we have to die, Sam and I both hope to die as pioneers, so that we can at least have a little dignity!" These are Gerry's words. .
"By the way, we heard that the pioneers have been organized by a few lone masters who came here. Yesterday, the tribal alliance's action to eliminate the pioneers did not achieve much effect. Instead, the organized pioneers snatched two water sources. Supply ground. Both sides are injured. Aurora has promised to send the two of us to a safe place. No matter what, you will always be our friend!" These were Sam's words.
Sam and Gerry left, Zhang Tie's heart moved again.
The arrival of the two people reminded Zhang Tie of his former friends, those he met during the trial in Wild Wolf Valley. Sam and Gerry are just like the little friends they met in the Wild Wolf Valley. They all come from ordinary or poor families, without any support or support. Every step forward is made with their own sweat. There is hard work and blood and tears, everyone is young, sincere, and full of happiness together. There is also no lack of courage at critical moments.
A series of scenes appeared in Zhang Tie's mind like a replay.
…
In the deep and long underground tunnel, he led a group of people, holding torches and advancing quietly. It was a scam constructed with the Great Blessing Technique. It was completely a joke on his part, but everyone who followed him The firmness of one's steps. It's like creating a world.
…
He drew his dagger, everyone drew their daggers, and then lined up in front of him. Cut his hand open and sprinkle the dripping blood onto the stone.
…
"This is the blood of brothers. How can you wither before the completion of this sacred blessing ceremony?"
"Ah, don't..."
"Use mine, use my blood..."
"Asshole..."
…
Those who walk in darkness, your faces are covered with dust, your steps are hobbled, your hands are stained with filth, you walk in that lightless and unclean land, but the light and fire in your hearts will never be extinguished. One day, the light and fire in your hearts will turn into torches in the darkness. The blazing torch illuminates the path of your brothers, allowing them to see the dangers and mistakes on the road. Those who bear the yoke, holding on to the torch in your hands is your best blessing to this world. This is The blessing of light will illuminate the road leading to the final sacred door—the few mining teenagers leading the way burst into tears when they heard these words.
…
Potter, who had become a flame bearer, shouted with a divine light on his face, "I am willing to sacrifice for everyone!"
…
Harlan Wood jumped out, "I am willing to be the victim!"
Jack Jones jumped out, "I am willing to be the victim!"
At that time, Gandhi jumped out and said, "I am willing to be a victim!"
Francis França, the son of an ordinary gardener in Black Flame City, jumped out, "I am willing to be the victim!"
…
Zhang Tie thought that he had no longer cared about the frivolousness and jokes, and would even forget about it one day. But it was only at this time that Zhang Tie discovered that everything he experienced that day, when his own blood was mixed with the blood of those brothers,... When we were together, that kind of scene, that kind of touching feeling, every detail of what we experienced that day, and the brothers' voices and smiles have long been imprinted in the depths of our bones and souls. Even after reincarnation, we can never erase or forget them.
Unconsciously, Zhang Tie burst into tears.
My brothers, those brothers who are willing to join me in cutting open the palms of their hands with daggers to bleed, those brothers who are willing to hold the torch with me and walk into the darkness, those brothers who are willing to join me in turning this world upside down, Are you okay now
Sorry, I almost disappointed my brothers.
…
I don’t know how long it took, but the bloody brilliance of the iron-blooded fighting spirit began to slowly appear on Zhang Tie’s body. The brilliance rose into the sky like waves of blood, rising higher and higher, sweeping across the sky like a flag flying against the wind. .
Zhang Tie stood up from the roof of the ruins and looked into the distance, "Those brave victims. You dedicated yourselves to your brothers. This is the noblest act of righteousness, and this is the most complete love... Your names will be engraved on the sacred arch forever. When you can regard your brothers as yourself, you have risen to the state of true knowledge. Time will end, the sea will be dried up, the mountains will be destroyed, and Your name will never fade. Since the sacrifice is eternal life, one day we will all be united in the sacred eternal realm. Every perfection you do for your brothers will come back to you. Your brother will not You will be missed and left to wander alone. Know that the light is within you and that everything you create will be with you, just as you are with the Divine."
As soon as he finished speaking, in the midst of the angry war spirit banner, the giant centipede's war spirit totem was shattered before it even rose. It was shattered by the powerful spirit and transcendent will in Zhang Tie's heart. Something reverberated in Zhang Tie's chest. It was trust, following, fearlessness, determination, piety, and pathos. It was the unyielding cry of the little people, the surging blood of the teenagers, and even more, it was the brothers who became The sublimation of the noble self of the victim.
Because of this sublimation, everything becomes sacred.
Crushed, crushed, crushed, because it could not bear Zhang Tie's powerful will at this moment, Baizu Centipede's battle spirit totem was shattered...
In the midst of that shattering, a little light lit up in Zhang Tie's chest like a torch in the darkness...
A brand new strange totem that no one has ever seen rises slowly from Zhang Tie's back, penetrating the heaven and earth. The totem is shocking drop by drop, piece by piece, and streams of burning and dripping blood coming from it. It rains down from the sky endlessly, like a sky curtain, and more like the doomsday flames dropped by the gods in myths and legends to judge everything. Just one look at it can make people's hearts tremble...
The sacred totem, the Sky of Blood and Fire, appeared in front of the world for the first time.
In the distance, the warriors and pioneers of the tribal alliance were killing each other loudly...
…
On the last day, where are the brothers’ monthly tickets
