Volume Four Chapter 21: Sinister
"Didn't you agree to let Huang Dahong be cannon fodder? Why did you change your mind and ask Sister Xiao Qian to take the blame? Look at how she is hurt now!"
As soon as Sabuki Katsuo dispersed, the rest of the East America team felt relieved, and then they all looked for a place to rest in groups of three or three. After all, the fear of the whole day was too great for the energy consumption. Shui Yunyao took this opportunity to sneak up to Lu Ren, with a pretty face full of suppressed anger. It turned out that Lan Xiaoqian's sudden blocking of Sabuki Katsuo during the previous battle was the order issued by Lu Ren through the communication equipment specially made by the team, and later the code that Lan Xiaoqian took the initiative. As a result, although Sabuki Katsuo was dispersed, Lan Xiaoqian was seriously injured. At this time, Lu Ren still had an attitude of accountability. This undoubtedly made Shui Yunyao, who had already gotten along well with Lan Xiaoqian, feel a little angry.
"Think about it myself," Lu Ren slowly pointed his head, "If your brain doesn't move for too long, it will rust."
"I'm asking you!"
I don’t know if the anger overwhelmed the long-term awe of Lu Ren, but Shui Yunyao stared at Lu Ren unyieldingly and persisted stubbornly.
"But I don't want to answer you."
Without thinking, Lu Ren directly refused Shui Yunyao's inquiry. This attitude made Shui Yunyao so angry that she was the daughter of the direct descendant of the Shui family. She might even become a big shot of the head of the Shui family in the future. From childhood to adulthood, in addition to her parents and elders, Lu Ren was the first outsider to dare to talk to her in this tone.
"you……"
Shui Yunyao's beautiful eyes were wide open, but after confronting Lu Ren's cold eyes for a long time, she finally lost.
"Miss Xiao Qian is seriously injured. I feel a little sad. Don't take it to your heart."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave without waiting for Lu Ren to speak. However, at this time, Lu Ren's calm voice came from behind, "Don't you want to know? Sit down, I'll tell you..."
"Um?"
Shui Yunyao frowned, but she still sat obediently next to Lu Ren.
"I'm responsible for Xiao Qian's injury."
When Lu Ren spoke, he admitted his responsibility first. Shui Yunyao's expression cleared a little, but Lu Ren's next words made her feel a little overwhelmed again.
"My mistake is that I can't see her psychological changes, otherwise she wouldn't have done such impulsive things. As for the action plan, no matter what you think, it was the best plan at that time."
“I can’t see it,”
He gave Lu Ren a fierce look, and Shui Yunyao hugged his knees with both hands, "I look forward to your explanation."
"You can't tell because you didn't open the gene lock."
Lu Ren's answer was unceremonious, "Don't think you are a natural powerful person with Nian Power, and now you have super equipment like Ideal Armor and Nian Power Floating Cannon, but if you really encounter a strong person with a gene lock that reaches the fourth level, you are not enough for others to kill."
Shui Yunyao rolled his eyes with a good look, "Are you showing off?"
"I'm not that bored."
Lu Ren snorted expressionlessly, "Although Xiaoqian's gene lock has been strengthened by the main god and its power is much stronger than that of ordinary people, probably to limit her actions, her gene lock has always had sequelae. As long as it is unlocked continuously in a short period of time, there will be a risk of gene collapse, rather than the side effects decrease as the number of uses increases, like others..."
Shui Yunyao's face suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment. She was a smart girl with ice and snow. When she heard Lu Ren say this, she immediately thought of what she had not finished in his words.
"You want to tell me that if you can't kill Sabuki Kouho while Sister Qian unlocks the gene lock, then will the gene lock in her world be wasted?"
"Yes, that's what it means."
Lu Ren nodded affirmatively, "Originally our plan was to let Huang Dahong attract the enemy, but later I looked at the time and probably would retreat soon after Sabuki Gangxiong's attack. If Huang Dahong was killed without long enough support, we probably wouldn't have enough time to continue killing Sabuki Gangxiong. Then we missed a precious opportunity, and the threats in the next two days will increase greatly. Besides, I have other plans, but now is not the time to say it. I think this reason is enough for you."
"Yeah, enough."
Shui Yunyao nodded obediently, and his resentment disappeared in an instant. Instead, he looked at Lu Ren apologetically, "You and Sister Xiao Qian, I..."
"No need to apologize."
Lu Ren waved his hand and lay down with his back to her, "Let's go to bed after hearing it. While it's still safe, add more energy to calculate."
"yes!"
Shui Yunyao looked at Lu Ren's back and suddenly had a bright smile. She saluted playfully, and then ran back to her sleeping bag happily, but she didn't notice it. Just as she ran past Lan Xiaoqian, Huang Dahong, who had been taking care of Lan Xiaoqian, suddenly stiffened her body, and her fist hidden under her was even tightened.
...
Relaxation after being tightened will always make people sleep very heavily.
After killing twice in a row within a day, the Eastern America team was exhausted. As soon as they were covered with pillows, a fine breathing and snoring sound rang out in the unfinished building.
The only one who didn't sleep was Huang Dahong.
After lying down for two hours, he got up again. This was also the time when everyone was sleeping the most. Although the man's face was full of sleepiness, he still cheered up and walked towards the center of the venue. There was exactly where the Buddhist scriptures were posted.
One step, two steps... Every time he takes a step, the anxiety on his face will increase by one point.
One meter, two meter... Every time he gets closer, the expectation on his face will increase by one point.
It was less than twenty meters short, but for Huang Dahong, it was as long as a light year. Fortunately, he finally moved to the end step by step, and did not alarm anyone during this period. Now, the life-saving Buddhist scripture is within reach!
"My, this is mine. The two scriptures are not enough for so many people to use together, but this scripture can definitely protect me... You bastards actually want me to be cannon fodder, you all deserve to die..."
Huang Dahong bent down, and the uneasiness on his face instantly turned into a crazy joy. Now, just need to stretch out his hand, and the Buddhist scripture will become something in his pocket!
Unfortunately, just as his fingers had reached the hard wooden cover of the Buddhist scriptures, Lu Ren's faint voice suddenly came from behind him.
