Chapter 254 Are we really winning?

"Yes." Qiao Jin opened his sleepy eyes and reflected for a while before he remembered where he was.

This is Utah, the United States. There is nothing more interesting than looking for the last Hydra in a desert. Qiao Jin smiled mockingly and touched his hand, but it was empty. Qiao Jin was slightly stunned, closed his eyes, searched carefully, but did not find Isabel's shadow in the apartment.

Walking out of the bedroom door, passing by the corridor, and coming to the hall, the charming face of the little crimson red face was amazing, and it looked particularly charming under the reflection of the beating flames in the fireplace. Hair was scattered lazyly by my ears, sitting leisurely on the sofa, covered with a layer of wool blanket on my knees, holding a book in my hand, and reading silently. On the side, Xiao Kuaiyin curled up on the sofa on the other side and snoring sounds came from time to time.

"She has left, and she didn't say where to go." Xiao Feihong whispered softly, her eyes not leaving the book, but answered Qiao Jin's question.

"It's already three o'clock in the morning. Are you still reading books, don't you sleep?" Qiao Jin yawned, rubbed his hair with a little distress, and walked out the door step by step.

"He is asleep, someone must watch the night." Xiao Feihong looked at Xiao Kuaiyin who was sleeping soundly, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes. She smiled and shook her head, and gently slid on the book with one hand, which showed a kind of intellectual beauty.

"Uh?" Xiao Kuaiyin, curled up on the sofa, was awakened by the sound, and suddenly opened her eyes, but obviously she had not yet woken up from her sleep, and looked around in confusion. When she saw Qiao Jin, she suddenly realized her mistake and fell asleep. Her face turned red and she scratched her head with a little embarrassed look.

"It's okay, let's sleep for a while." Xiao Feihong stretched out her hand, and a crimson mist floated towards Xiao Kuaiyin. After a while, the awkward look on Xiao Kuaiyin's face dissipated. She held the blanket in one hand and lay softly on the sofa. Her face rubbed the soft blanket from left to right, and she fell asleep sweetly again.

"Okay." This time it was Qiao Jin's turn to be helpless. The relationship between the brother and sister was constantly sublimated in the war, which made outsiders a little envious. Even if they were not connected with each other, there was a magical telepathy between the brother and sister. This was wonderful, perhaps because of the characteristics of the twins.

Qiao Jin wrapped her nightgown tightly and opened the door with one hand. The sudden drop in temperature made Qiao Jin shudder.

"She went east." Xiao Feihong murmured softly, her eyes still on the dilapidated books, without looking up.

"Thank you." Qiao Jin thanked him, and his body slowly floated up and flew to the east, while using his spiritual power to find Isabel.

It has been four months since this team first stepped onto the front battlefield in the United States, nearly a quarter has passed. When they embarked on a journey in spring, and at this time, time has passed, and it is already a scorching hot summer.

However, in this city standing in a desert, the temperature difference between day and night is so large that I can't wear gauze during the day and down jacket at night.

This remote city located in northwest Utah seems a bit dilapidated, which is very consistent with their atmosphere in the desert. With a few lights and a terrible streets, there has been no glory of the past. However, things always use two sides. The advantage is that the city's lights are lost. At this time, the gorgeous night sky is so dazzling, with stars shining, and it is as beautiful as the Milky Way.

After searching for less than two miles, Qiao Jin saw the huge silver armor on a huge flat-top mountain.

"You must know that this is not absolutely safe. We are searching for possible Hydra bases." Qiao Jin locked the target, his body flashed, and appeared behind the huge armor.

"Sorry, I just want to be quiet." Isabel's gentle voice floated out, and it could be heard, a little deep.

"Isa, you have changed a lot. Since you came here, you have become a little taciturn." Qiao Jin walked forward, stood side by side with the silver warrior, and said with a little concern.

"They are so beautiful, don't you think?" Isabel looked at the dazzling Milky Way far away in the sky. It was past three o'clock in the morning, and the Milky Way in the sky was shining with light.

Under the sky, the distant east is the real snow-capped mountains, and behind it is the small town when I came. It is surrounded by a deserted desert, with ravines and canyons crisscrossing in the middle. Countless flat-topped stone mountains stand around, which look like human buildings, but this is the magic of nature. In the desert, weeds show their tenacity of vitality, and occasionally there are a few red wild flowers swaying their bodies under the night sky.

"Well, you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance, which really corresponds to the saying, eating watermelons around the stove. What a weird midsummer, Utah is a magical place." Qiao Jin laughed and pointed to the canyon in the distance, saying, "Don't you think the Hydra is likely to open a door from the underground, and then rush towards you and kill you?"

"Jokin, I killed a lot of people." Isabel said softly.

"Does this bother you?" Qiao Jin sighed silently, thinking that at that time, he was also an ordinary young man, and at some point, his hands were covered with blood.

"You know, since I was three years old, I have seen all kinds of death faces every day. I am not a person with poor psychological ability." Isabel shook his head gently, "But these months are different."

"I know, I'm not a kind person. When you were besieged Alcatraz, the painting I painted at my home in New York took the lives of countless ordinary people." Isabel's voice was quiet, adding a hint of coolness to this already cold summer night. "But I seem to be used to it. Although the picture is very realistic, I feel like I'm playing a game. I've never taken this seriously."

"I have participated in many missions with you, destroying sentinel robots and defeating countless Hydra soldiers. None of these bothered me. On the contrary, I felt a little excited. I felt that I was doing the right thing." Isabel lowered his head silently, and the silver warrior also had a huge head underground.

"But this time is different." Two crisp sounds, Isabel held a blade on each hand, and the bright silver giants were extremely beautiful. "Whenever I see them, they are dazzling bright red, and they have made me have many nightmares. I thought I was doing the right thing, I thought I was standing on the standpoint of justice, but, in the past few months, I don't know when, when I took the lives of those people again and again, I no longer have any pride and pride. Some of them are sadness, self-blame, guilt. Even, I began to hate myself. I knew clearly why I fought for, but I really couldn't help but start to hate myself, Oh, God, I even feel that God doesn't want to listen to me calling him when I am sad."

"Hey, Isa, listen to me, this kind of life will not be too long. The country has repeatedly issued news that we have achieved a comprehensive victory. Now, we are just looking for some possible remnants of troops. Even the Amazons and Atlantiss have left the United States one after another, trying to leave here before causing misunderstandings. We have won." Qiao Jin patted the silver arm with one hand, "If you don't like it, we can withdraw immediately and return to the life you have always wanted."

"Is it really possible?" Isabel's words were gone without the surprises of the past, but instead had a hint of depression. "Can I really return to my original life? Am I still the same me as before?" Isabel's voice became lighter and lighter, and obviously, her heart was in extreme struggle.

"Can you come out of the armor? Maybe at this time, as your boyfriend, I need to give you a hug." Qiao Jin opened his mouth, but didn't know how to enlighten Isabel, and in the end he could only talk about him.

After a long time, the silver armor finally opened. Isabel seemed unwilling to come out of here, or was unwilling to face the world. Qiao Jin saw her red eyes and that complicated expression. Without hesitation, Qiao Jin hugged the girl in her arms.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have brought you here. You have been in such a situation for so long, but I have been focusing on the war and have not taken good care of you." Qiao Jin comforted softly, the girl's blonde hair was flying in the night sky, growing to her waist, like a golden waterfall, so gorgeous.

"I was just deceiving myself at the beginning." Isabel's voice was filled with a hint of crying, "I gave the Assassin Alliance orders to coordinate the launch of sentry robots. I knew what they would do after the orders, but I didn't have a clear understanding of these actions. You brought me here and taught me a lot. It's really terrible. The life I slaughtered with my own hands in the past few months is not as much as the life I have hurt in Japan. But here, I clearly realized everything. I am a killer, so long ago. I can't imagine using these hands to touch our two children in the future. Oh, God."

"Hey, listen, Isa, listen, what, I'll watch the sunrise with you here." Qiao Jin's hand groped for a while, took out a silver headband in the girl's right pocket, and turned the girl's body over.

While gently tugging on the golden waterfall, Qiao Jin whispered: "Tomorrow morning, we will return to Mutants School, and tell him what we have done in front of Professor X's grave. Let him listen to everything we have done, how about it?"

Qiao Jin tied the headband clumsyly with his palms, tried hard to tie a bow, held the girl's shoulder with both hands, and whispered: "Then, we will go home, and we will never wait for a minute or a second, we will go home immediately."

Isabel lowered his head, tears falling like pearls, and he burst into tears.

Qiao Jin silently hugged her body from behind and gently kissed her white and tender face. The tears on it were salty and a little bitter.

Did we really win? Is this the feeling of victory? Why is it different from what we expected?
