Warhammer 40k: Far East Storm

Chapter 70 Tears

On the way to the third target, Li had to let the team stop and rest. The reason is that a nun suddenly fell to the ground as she walked. Without any warning, she fell to the ground. The nuns panicked and hurriedly formed a defensive formation. They thought it was a special silent attack from the shadows. They guarded for a while without finding the enemy. After the final examination, they found that the nun was asleep - her body was too tired.

No rest, lack of sleep, high concentration, continuous fighting, all of these are about to drag down the bodies of the soldiers. The nuns now rely entirely on their tenacious will to support their bodies to continue to move forward and continue to fight.

In this case, we have to rest. If this situation continues, the whole team will lose its combat effectiveness due to fatigue.

At this time, the biggest enemy of Li and his team is no longer the evil spirit of different space, but more and more intense time and tired people.

After walking through a few windows, I carefully observed the situation outside the building. Outside the window, the jungle of the city is made of reinforced concrete. The cold city is as if dead, lying quietly in the darkness, motionless, and there is no light in the continuous high-rise buildings, or all these buildings are abandoned. That is, everyone pulled the curtains tightly so as not to be seen by the demons. No matter which speculation is possible, no matter what kind of situation, it increasingly shows the strangeness of this underground city.

Looking into the distance in the depths of darkness, there are occasionally a few street lights on a road at the end of the eyes. The orange street lights reflect the empty road. This light does not make people feel hope and warm. On the contrary, it feels strange. This distant light makes the city darker. The sky is still under the dark clouds that have remained unchanged for thousands of years. Occasionally, an electric light suddenly pierced the dark clouds and flashed over the city, instantly reflecting the city into a pale color.

Li checked all the sentries, as he expected, everything was normal. Although Hu Cong was exhausted, he didn't complain, or even shout. They just accepted the order and then completed the order perfectly. These women are very serious about their work, and they are very reassuring to be a sentry. But out of responsibility and habit, he still checked all the sentries before resting.

It's not necessary. As comrades-in-arms, they are trustworthy. Elizabeth's followers used to be a whole team of fighting nuns. These women received elite training in the nuns and carried out difficult tasks, and they had firm beliefs in their hearts, which made them brave to fight and not be afraid of death. In a word, they are all qualified combat nuns and excellent soldiers. If it weren't for the fact that they were all women, Li would really fall in love with these soldiers and come all the way. Li sincerely felt that they were all respectable soldiers. If Li had some contempt and disgust for the combat nuns in the past, then now he must add respect to his views.

No matter what these women have done, one thing that has never changed is that they fight like all men on the battlefield, and they do a good job. Just this is worthy of respect.

Li put this little respect in the depths of his heart, and then looked out of the window. He pulled down the single goggles hanging on his forehead and scanned the dark depths around him with infrared, heat sensing and other devices. There was no enemy, not even a creature.

After completing the routine inspection, Li walked into a room in the abandoned building. The nuns had already lit the unnecessary old furniture in the room. A bright bonfire was lit in the center of the room, and Elizabeth sat alone in front of the fire.

"You did something meaningless again," Elizabeth sighed, "My followers are absolutely trustworthy."

"They are all tired, and I'm just a routine check, and I don't mean to distrust it."

"As long as they haven't died, they are trustworthy." Elizabeth looked at the firelight and said quietly, "Although they are my followers, they are still battle nuns. They are still full of glory from the bottom of their hearts. You should believe them."

"I said it was just a routine inspection. Forget it, let's not talk about it," Li Ka opened the topic and asked, "How is the progress of the spiritual clan?"

"What do you want?" Elizabeth asked, "Do you want the spirit clan to succeed easily, or do you want them to fail?"

"It's very contradictory," Li said, "Naturally, I hope they will succeed, but I don't want them to be too relaxed. Otherwise, even if we kill these demons, we won't have a good life."

"The facts should be as you wish. They have succeeded, and the progress is the same as ours. They are about to face the last battle."

Elizabeth didn't say much, but Li clearly understood the meaning of her words.

Not as good as Li and his party. The spirit people are a team of pure rangers. Each of them can hide their bodies. Even in the sunny day, they can easily disappear from under the eyes of others, let alone in the dark shadow. The spirit rangers are almost impossible to be found on the road, and they will not encounter obstacles, and their journey will not be slowed down by constant enemy attacks like Li and his party. But now their progress is the same as that of their own group. What does this mean? If you think about it, you can understand that the Ling people spend more time in the battle than Li and his party, and their battle is not easy.

"So it will be the last battle soon. Who will win the grand prize in the end?" Li smiled relaxedly, "Suddenly it feels very interesting. It's a bit like gambling, pure buying size."

"The spirit people are not as relaxed as you. They seem to be divided into two factions and have different opinions. Some people think that our side should first make a tentative attack to confirm whether there is Rosina in the guardian of the altar to determine the location of the real altar."

"It is to let us launch an attack first. If Rosina is in our target, the spiritual people will help us. If there is no Rosina, we must get out of the battle as soon as possible and make peace with the spiritual people and attack their target together." Li shook his head. "It's too stupid. In this way, it's really gambling, and the banker has countless ways to deceive us. Rosina can't hide it, and then watch us run to the wrong place, or she doesn't guard the real altar. There are too many ways to deceive people, and this is what the devil is good at. It seems that even excellent spiritual people have fools. How can they come up with such a way?

"I'm afraid a large part of the reason is the fear of Rosina and the evil god behind her. The rangers of the spirit clan are afraid of her. I can feel this fear from the trembling psionic power."

"Fear!?" Li said sincerely, "What an enviable feeling."

Elizabeth looked at Li strangely and asked, "What's so enviable?"

"Astalt is fearless. Many people think it's good, but I don't think so," Li said. "If you don't understand fear, then you won't understand the real courage. In the face of a strong enemy, overcome the fear in your heart, defeat yourself, and then pick up arms, stand up, and fight bravely. This is the real The brave warrior. They are admirable, not because they can defeat the enemy, but because they can defeat themselves. However, Astarte lacks this process. Our soldiers do not know what fear is. Although they still have done brave deeds, this is not really bravery. This is the result of chemical and drug control and physical transformation, and there is nothing to be proud of. Speaking of this, Li's voice suddenly became shocked, as if he had seen something that made Asttart feel terrible. "What's wrong with you?" Li asked in horror.

Elizabeth stared at the fire in a daze, and the golden flame jumped, reflecting the light and dark in the room, but Li clearly saw Elizabeth's tearful face.

Big drops of tears silently slipped down Elizabeth's cheeks and secretly fell to the ground.

Li was a little panicked. He was not afraid of a powerful judge with psionic power. Even in the face of the threat of life and death, he did not panic, because once he turned his face, he felt that he could deal with Elizabeth. If it was a battle, then Li was not afraid of anyone.

But in the face of the beautiful judge with tears, no, it has little to do with her identity. Does it have anything to do with whether she is beautiful or not? I'm not sure. In a word, even if Elizabeth is just an ordinary tearful woman, Li will be completely helpless.

What should I say at this time? I don't know.

Why is she crying? I don't know.

Is

because of your own words? I don't know.

It's too painful. Li would rather Elizabeth wave a chainsaw sword at himself, at least he is good at dealing with this situation.

"Well, did I just accidentally say too much, and I didn't know it?" Elizabeth did not answer, but still looked at the fire and cried silently. Li was embarrassed and silent for a while before making a decision. In this situation, whether it's his fault or not, let's admit it first. Well, I think it's true that my words are a little too much. I apologize. Please don't, er..."

"Sorry, it's not your fault." Elizabeth said softly, "It's my problem. This place is very strange. It has been encouraging my psionic power and reducing my self-defense. There are many things that I can't care about and don't think about, but I can't control here, and the emotions that can be perfectly controlled are also slightly out of control. You don't have to apologize. Your words are right. It's me who are wrong. At a critical moment, I failed, not to the devil, but to myself. I trembled like a coward. I felt ashamed, very ashamed, very, very, very ashamed.

At the end, tears began to drip down. Elizabeth covered her face with her hands and cried silently.
