Chapter 83 The Last Link
Given the character of the Mechanical Race, after killing the leader of the resistance army, they will definitely bring back his head.
These bloody heads can serve as a deterrent to those in the city who have rebellious intentions.
It has almost become a tradition.
The war between the two tribes has lasted for many years since then.
But now, there was no head in Yu Tuo's hand, it was empty, and there were some signs of damage on the surface.
There are only two possible explanations.
Or, the masked man's body was crushed into minced meat, and not even a piece of intact tissue could be found, so Yu Tuo couldn't bring it back.
Or...
A bad premonition arose in many people's hearts.
"Did that damn masked man escape?"
"impossible?"
“…”
If a level 4 creature attacks, how many people in this city can stop it?
In any case, the probability of the masked man surviving is extremely small.
In the city, the cheers of the crowd gradually died down. They looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes, and the atmosphere became weird.
Everyone wanted to know the truth, but Yu Tuo said nothing and flew all the way back to the mechanical clan's steel base to recuperate.
In the office building in the city center, the human city lord Qi Lang was very annoyed.
He walked around the office, drinking a cup of tea from time to time, but the mild tea could not calm his mood at all.
"Damn, was there an accident?"
Qi Lang really wanted to make a phone call to the mechanical clan base.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, it froze in mid-air and he was hesitant to make a decision.
This time, such a big trouble occurred that countless refugees fled to the wilderness, the granaries and arsenals in the city were attacked and occupied, and the whole city was in chaos.
Since the mechanical race introduced the concept of "ruling people by people", such a chaotic situation has only occurred in the early stages.
After the war, things gradually calmed down everywhere.
What happened tonight will definitely be regarded as a typical failure case.
"How could this happen! Those damned lowly people, and that damned masked weirdo, who gave them the courage... Things shouldn't have turned out like this..."
Qi Lang felt extremely irritated and uncomfortable all over, as if thousands of ants were crawling on his body.
Will the mechanical race think that he is not doing his job well?
Will they think that he is not fit for purpose and revoke his position as city lord?
One after another, uneasy questions kept circling around in his mind, like an unsolvable ball of thread, becoming more and more complicated, almost suffocating him!
"It would be fine if the masked man died, but I'm afraid that Yutuo City Lord might have failed. He will be angry... Will he vent his anger on me..."
Qi Lang gasped and scratched his hair frantically. His heart was beating so violently in his chest that it seemed like it was about to jump out.
He didn't want to leave. Without this office, what was the difference between him and those ordinary third-level creatures?
No, there is a difference.
Any normal third-level psychic creature will be respected in a small city like Coral City, and can live comfortably by joining any organization.
But once Qi Lang falls from the position of city lord, he will become a laughing stock of everyone.
"Xiao Chai, what should I do?" Qi Lang grabbed the secretary's shoulders fiercely, his eyes bloodshot, "Tell me, what should I do to keep this position?"
Secretary Chai An ignored the severe pain in his shoulder, kept smiling, and said, "Sir, you have to let the mechanical tribe see your role and let them know that you cannot be replaced for the time being."
"What is it?"
"The first step is to honor the soldiers who fought bravely tonight, mourn the soldiers who died, and provide compensation to the families of the fallen soldiers."
"this……"
Qi Lang shuddered, let go of his secretary Chai An, and slowly sat down in the office chair.
Chai An's words were like a sharp knife, cutting through the tangled threads in his mind and making everything clear in an instant.
He held the teacup tightly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, and asked quickly: "Then what? What should I do next?"
"The second step is to go to the fighting area tonight, comfort the civilians who were frightened in the fighting, and promise to repair the city facilities damaged in the fighting..."
…
Just as plans were beginning to be made in the office building.
Rumors spread through the city.
It is said that someone was at the edge of the ruins where Su Xia and Yu Tuo had their final battle, and witnessed with his own eyes the masked man exchanging his life for injuries and repelling Yu Tuo with his seriously injured body.
Some people also say that at the last moment, a mysterious master appeared and saved the masked man.
And that mysterious master...
Everyone assumed it was the drunkard owner of the Zero Point Tavern.
When this unreliable news reached the Zero Point Tavern, many killers were dumbfounded because Yi Yi had been drinking in front of the wine cabinet and had not even gone to the toilet during this period.
Where did that mysterious master come from?
"In Coral City, besides the drunkard boss and the Yutuo City Lord, is there anyone else who is a level 4 creature?"
"It's gone, it's definitely gone!"
Everyone was sure that the fourth-level creatures were all well-known and would not be able to hide in a small place like Coral City.
In this way, Su Xia’s life and death remained a mystery for the time being.
…
Su Xia fled all the way, using the cover of night as his flight high in the night sky.
His physical condition was quite bad, and lines of negative words kept popping up.
[You are currently in a 'disabled' state, with your left arm missing...]
[The left arm will take another 2 hours and 23 minutes to recover, and has currently recovered 20.5%...]
[You are currently in the side effect state of the 'Extreme Burst' potion, and your combat power has decreased by 50%...]
【……】
After making sure he was safe, Su Xia slowly descended and found a secluded corner of the jungle.
"call……"
He was lying under a big tree, covered in blood, with his eyes closed and his chest heaving.
Waves of fatigue came over him like a tide, almost swallowing him up.
But the tearing pain forced him to wake up. He had no idea how many bones in his body were broken, and there was almost no intact skin on his body.
This time it was really miserable!
After we have fully recovered and our combat power has been increased, we must fight back to Coral City and take back our place!
Su Xia really wanted to rest for the night and lie here until dawn.
But the mission did not allow him to lie down for so long.
After resting for half an hour , Su Xia set off again.
He flew at an extremely fast speed, and forty minutes later he arrived at the area where the suburbs of Coral City bordered the wilderness.
“These refugees are moving pretty fast.”
Su Xia soon saw a small group of more than seventy refugees.
In addition to this group of refugees, there are other people in the wilderness ahead.
It seemed to be a resistance organization, quietly hiding in the dark grass of the wilderness, with all members motionless.
"Sure enough, these resistance organizations are well-informed and want to absorb fresh blood."
As the refugee group moved forward, they got closer and closer to the lurking resistance organization.
The final step in the mission is to ensure that most refugees meet up smoothly with the resistance organization.
Su Xia slowly descended in altitude and took a look at the personal panel of this member of the resistance organization.
But as soon as he read the panel description of one of the members, his face darkened.
wrong……
This is a group of wandering mercenaries!
