Chapter 1072 The Price of Greed
Chapter 1072 The Price of Greed
Shuiyue’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
He found that although Haimo was a gentle girl, she was also very stubborn, even a little paranoid.
But Shuiyue didn't know how to refute Haimo's paranoid point of view.
Don't persuade others to be kind to others without suffering.
It can be said that the suffering Hai Mo once endured was entirely caused by his own compatriots. Few people can easily let go of such an experience.
"Hai Mo, I won't say that humans are definitely superior to Hai Si."
Shuiyue said with a headache: "But you must control yourself. Once you are completely invaded by the Haisi cells in your body, it will no longer be a question of human and Haisi identity. At that time, you can no longer even be called you, but a brand new life form."
"A completely new...life form..."
Hai Mo lowered her head slightly, bit her lower lip tightly, and kicked the pebbles at her feet with the toe of her shoes from time to time.
"Hai Mo, is there anything you particularly like to do?" Shuiyue asked tentatively.
Hai Mo freed herself from her inner struggle and nodded:
"I like to sing."
"Can you sing a song for me and others?" Shuiyue invited.
Hearing this, Hai Mo subconsciously glanced at the team that was preparing to set off again.
After a brief hesitation, she nodded and accepted Shuiyue's invitation.
Under Texas's command, the convoy quickly changed direction and continued on its way, bypassing the town ahead.
Hai Mo sat on top of a supply truck. Her legs wrapped in white silk were subconsciously brought together because of nervousness. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth at Shuiyue's encouraging eyes.
The girl's unique fresh voice echoed in the team. The melody was not heavy, and even had a bit of lightness.
In the team, Angelica was enjoying the pocky given to her by Texas. When she heard Haimo's singing, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She chewed the snack in her mouth in a few bites, took out two etched bullets from the ammunition bag, and gently knocked them against each other in time with the melody, making pleasant metallic knocking sounds.
The others couldn't help but blink when they saw the "instrument" of the Archangel, and silently distanced themselves.
After ensuring their own safety, some people immediately took out various musical instruments and started to join in the singing.
The dull sound of palms hitting car bodies, the trembling sound of a dagger hitting buttons, and even two stones picked up from the ground, striking together, become part of the ensemble.
Hai Mo was unconsciously immersed in the singing as the crowd followed the beat. Memories came flooding back. She still clearly remembered her mother's gentle embrace.
The song she sang was taught to her by Hai Mo's deceased mother.
Her mother loved and was good at singing ballads. When nothing happened, her mother was recognized as the most beautiful singer in the village, and she was also the most envied person by many children of the same age in the village.
Haimo likes to sing.
She also likes the atmosphere of having someone to listen, someone to play with, and someone to accompany her.
She suddenly felt that a burden on her body was slowly dissipating, and she felt a sense of relief that she had not experienced in a long time.
The singing became more lively.
In the team, Shuiyue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Texas' inquiring gaze, indicating that it was okay.
The light in the sky gradually dimmed, and the distant ocean was first swallowed up by darkness, which then quickly spread to the entire sky.
The double moons become clearer surrounded by stars.
"Everyone, just rest around here."
Texas pointed to an empty space and gave instructions, then began to assign tasks: "Angel, take some people to collect some firewood, and the others set up the tents. I'll go around and take a look around."
After getting everyone's response, Texas did not forget to remind Shuiyue before leaving:
"Just play the game and stay away from the food."
"I'm not Qi Yan and Xiao Ke, I won't steal food." Shui Yue said innocently, "On the contrary, I'm good at cooking, okay? You've been on guard against me all the way."
"It's you who cooks that I'm on guard against."
Texas rolled his eyes at him and turned back to complete his patrol mission.
Shuiyue shrugged and assured Haimo beside her:
"Don't listen to this sister's nonsense. You have to believe me. My cooking skills are really good. I can show you my skills alone if there is a chance."
"Okay!" Hai Mo nodded expectantly.
Then she looked around, and for the first time an idea occurred to her.
"Can I go collect firewood with Sister Angel?" she whispered, "Everyone has been taking care of me these days, and I haven't contributed anything."
"Go ahead." Shuiyue smiled with relief.
After getting permission, Hai Mo immediately trotted to catch up with the Exia team.
Shuiyue, who had become completely idle, found a suitable stone, leaned against it comfortably, took out his game console and started to enjoy a good time.
Before the game was over, he suddenly smelled a special scent.
"What Haimo said was right." A hint of disgust flashed across Shuiyue's eyes. "Is it because the convoy carried too many supplies?"
Texas also returned to the camp quietly and made a few tactical gestures to everyone.
The busy people in the camp immediately took action, leaving some people pretending to be unaware, while the archer and warlock team began to look for tactical points to hide their bodies.
Shuiyue put away the game console, and her figure disappeared into the night like a ghost.
Not long after, the guard team from the town they passed by earlier also appeared outside the camp.
Texas seemed to have not guessed the other party's intention. He took the initiative to talk after seeing the other party:
"Hey guys, why are you here all of a sudden? What's the matter?"
The captain of the guard looked around and smiled warmly:
"Our mayor is still worried about you guys camping outdoors, so he approved your applications to enter the town. Girl, your team seems to be missing a lot of people, so you should gather them together as soon as possible. It's very dangerous to camp outdoors at night."
"No need, we're tired after traveling all day." Texas refused.
"Then we can help keep your supplies temporarily." The captain of the guard led the team closer.
"Really? You don't even want to act?"
Texas shook his head in disgust and slowly pulled out his two orange-yellow Originium swords.
The captain of the guards was not intimidated by this and sneered:
"It's really life-and-death."
"Do you know why I didn't call the players who left the team back to the team immediately?" Texas suddenly asked.
"what?"
"Because you are not worthy."
The sword light drew two straight arcs in the night, instantly cutting through the body of the guard captain.
Before the other guards could react, the lurking Rhodes Island long-range team launched a heavy attack. Behind the guard team, Shuiyue also appeared from the night, and together with Texas, they successfully surrounded the large number of guards.
This battle, which had no suspense at all, ended completely in less than ten minutes.
The only trouble they caused was the corpses all over the ground, which made Texas and others' good mood, which was originally brought by Haimo's singing, a little worse.
After the Angel Squad returned with firewood, they saw the corpses on the ground and guessed what had happened without asking any questions.
No one takes this kind of thing too seriously.
There is no shortage of death on this land.
Only when Hai Mo passed by the corpses while holding firewood, some emotions that had been dispelled in her heart quietly revived.
