It¡¯s not that I stopped reading for no reason, something happened at home;;; My grandma passed away. The eighty-two-year-old man has been busy with funerals recently, and there is a big family with four generations living under the same roof. . . Hope everyone can understand. )
Even Lin Xiang himself couldn¡¯t tell clearly, when did he suddenly have such an idea? []
It may be because of possessing, prophecy, and superpowers, or it may be a brand-new ability produced by the evolution of superpowers. He began to develop an extremely slight sense of touch in a world that he could not detect with ordinary abilities such as vision, hearing, or touch.
Lin Xiang did not ask for more secrets about the Rockefeller family. From Toller's eyes, he only saw shock and relief. The former is obviously because of the superpower he possesses. As for the latter, of course it cannot be said to be attachment to the current world, but it should be understood as a complete abandonment of responsibilities and concerns, and a relief from stepping into nothingness.
Endless life is not one and lucky after all.
Junkson didn¡¯t speak from the beginning to the end. He lived only sixteen minutes longer than his cousin. Naturally, Lin Xiang couldn't get any speculation about "prophecy" from him. In fact, he was even a little tired of this and the special ability that couldn't be caught. Because he could only vaguely see the beginning, but couldn't control it. end.
Of the three parasitic generals of the Locke family, only Miffy, who was in the treatment room in the city, was captured. As usual, she has been sent to the Imperial Capital and handed over to Randwalk. God knows what Dr. Hei will change her into. He seems to really like this and the perverted game of turning people into monsters, or turning monsters into humans. But then again, science is originally about obtaining the most practical evolution through incredible means in the process of constantly breaking conventional thinking. Putting away his chaotic thoughts, Lin Xiang returned his attention to the person kneeling in front of him. On Zhou Hao.
, How many of those people on the list have been captured? ,,,"We only caught six of these."
Speaking of this, Zhou Hao's face looked hesitant. He seemed to be preparing his words. After a few minutes, he said in an extremely strange tone: "In fact, all the people on the list are currently under our control. A large number of them were not arrested because of .but"
,, hesitating doesn¡¯t seem like your character. "
Lin Xiang looked at him calmly, without laughing or getting angry, and said calmly: "Let me talk about the key points one by one,,,, they surrendered on their own initiative. Under the pressure, Zhou Hao could no longer maintain a hesitant attitude. He Ignoring the obvious irrationality in his words, he replied bluntly: "Except for the six captured family heads, the rest chose to surrender at the first opportunity. They have selected representatives and requested a direct interview with His Majesty. "
,, Surrender? "
Lin Xiang's eyes suddenly widened, he shook his head in disbelief, and murmured in a tone that had lost his original accent: "What on earth are these idiots thinking? At this time, they are still asking for negotiations?"
,,I can¡¯t understand the thinking of these people. "
Zhou Hao's voice seemed to be a forced smile. He paused and then said: "According to your Majesty's request, we have prepared a total of 200,000 wooden crosses. The first batch arrived from the Imperial Capital last night. Do you want to implement the revenge plan now?"
Lin Xiang nodded silently and then shook his head gently. He stared at the door of the hall facing him, flexed his stiff fingers, and said, "Bring them all here. I want to see these idiots in person."
The battle line, as time passed by, slowly moved towards the west.
The main building of City of Life No. 19 has been damaged. The exterior of the floor is covered with large and small bullet holes, and even cracks of shocking size have been blown out of the arched outer wall. Despite its dilapidated state, the building still stands firmly in the middle of the city without any intention of collapsing or overturning. The main hall of the Jimu Building covers an area of ??more than 5,000 square meters. All debris and debris have been cleared away, and the rubble and bricks that fell from the top of the wall have all been piled up to the roots of the surrounding walls. A large cleared space was exposed in the center. To avoid dust, there is even a layer of purified water sprinkled on it. Feeling the shock of the explosion coming from afar, there was a faint and ethereal purity and emptiness here. Sixteen family representatives gathered around each other to form an irregular circle, standing silently about six meters away from the throne. Location.
There was dead silence in the hall. No one spoke, and one could clearly hear the guttural sounds of swallowing saliva and heavy and slow breathing coming from people's mouths and noses. All the family representatives lowered their heads. The muscles on the faces of the few standing at the front were constantly pulling, and their eyelids were flying faster than normal. It can be seen that this dull and depressing atmosphere is almost driving them crazy.
Lin Xiang sat on the throne, silently looking at the groveling crowd standing in front of him. Slender and fair-skinned?The fingers are tapped lightly on the surface of the armrest, as if silently reciting the rhythm of a certain piece of music, or counting numbers with unknown meanings. It is almost impossible to hear any sound, but it attracts the eyes of all the anxious people. It seems that through this simplest action, one can see through his brain and heart, as well as the thinking that is surrounded by countless information at this moment. Who is Ekaterina? ,, Lin Xiang spoke in a very calm tone, his eyes were scattered, and he did not specifically point to a specific object in the crowd, but gave the clearest target with his voice.
Countless gazes came from the left and right sides and from behind, intentionally or unintentionally converging on the old man standing in the front. At this time, even if Jianyi wants to hide his identity, he will be betrayed by the sight of the group that is supposed to be a common group. After a brief silence of more than ten seconds, the old man, who was entangled in embarrassment, sleepiness, fear and hesitation, finally took a shaky half step forward, with a flush that changed from time to time on his face like a chaotic vision. With Bai Bai, he bowed respectfully toward the throne in front of him.
,, the humblest servant, ready to listen to any instructions from you. "
She has already made a sincere and humble gesture, her waist is bent a little too much, and the top of her head is almost level with the ground. The old man had even thought that when the young man on the throne said the second sentence, he should kneel down and show his surrender in the most unreserved way.
,,,don¡¯t you understand what I said? Or is there something wrong with my way of expressing Yu Bo? "
Lin Xiang calmly looked at the family representatives standing in the center of the hall, frowned, raised his right hand impatiently, patted the armrest of the throne, and asked in a serious tone: "Tell me again - who is Yekaty?" Lina?"
Everyone, or rather all the family representatives, felt a chill and trembling deep in their hearts. They stood silently, glancing at Lin Xiang with uncertain eyes, and at the same time focused more of their attention on the old man in the front.
They unanimously chose to remain silent. It's not that he wants to betray his intentions, but Lin Xiang's question is extremely targeted. Without being able to figure out the other person's current state of mind, even saying one more word may lead to unpredictable and terrible consequences.
,,I
I am Ekaterina. Alek talks about Indana. "
The expression on the old woman's face was unpredictable. When she said this, countless thoughts were running through her mind. There was no doubt that Lin Xiang's question was filled with obvious hostility. However, Catherine was not sure this was true. Of course she knew why.
Everything comes from the man named Yang Hua. At that time, he pulled the trigger with his own hands and the bullet that came out of the gun penetrated into his skull. The huge internal pressure overturned his skull on the spot. In order to show their merits and strive for interests in the most positive way, the Samuel Tohen family immediately presented this gift to the United Doctors Association.
The old man doesn¡¯t think there¡¯s anything wrong with this. Survival of the fittest is the only law of the wasteland world. Yes, the man named Yang Hua is indeed from the empire. But he is just a threat, an individual, and does not represent the entire power of the group. She believed that as long as she could offer sufficiently generous benefits, even the emperor himself would not be able to pursue her crimes. After all, even if the current patriarch or first-in-line heir of the Samuel Tohen family is killed for some reason, as long as the other party can come up with enough benefits to compensate, everything will return to the normal state before the incident.
¡°The most indispensable thing in this world is people. No matter how powerful you are, how noble your status is, or how unique you are, it is just a pile of money and numbers. As long as enough or more weight is placed on the other end of the scale, the result will either be flat or tilted to one side.
It is precisely because of this that the Sixteenth Family did not choose to oppose each other, but turned to the empire in the most humble manner without any reservation.
Of course, all this happened after the City of Life on the 19th was captured. Unlike betting without seeing the hole cards, only the strongest winner is truly worth clinging to.
, , Ekaterina. Alexeyevna¡±
Lin Xiang repeated this name, which was obviously in the Russian style of the old times, and the calm expression on his face gradually turned into a cold expression with obvious disgust. He stared straight down at the old man who had knelt at his feet. His eyes no longer had the usual calmness, but revealed a touch of sadness and a trace of grief that only he himself could understand.
,, let someone bring the cross in - one by one, he raised his right hand again, first nodded to Zhou Hao who was standing next to the throne, and then waved heavily at all the family representatives in the center of the hall, and said ferociously: "Nail them all up. Remember, every?, one person, one word, one sentence. The sound was so loud that you could even hear it clearly coming from his mouth. The teeth were clenched hard and then quickly separated.
The faces of the family representatives turned pale instantly, and a look of extreme fear appeared in everyone's eyes. There was no time to react, and they didn't know how to refute or resist. They turned around almost instinctively, stumbled, and rushed towards the door as fast as possible.
This and the dying struggle are destined to have no effect. A middle-aged man standing at the end of the crowd and closest to the gate had just turned around and ran ten meters away, and was already surrounded by imperial soldiers swarming over. An officer raised the assault rifle in his hand high, quickly reversed the hard butt and hit the man hard on the chin. He spurted out, spitting out a large piece of thick, fishy blood, with a heart-rending sound. He screamed, flipped over on his back and fell to the ground like a dead fish. He couldn't get up for a long time.
At the same time, there was a sound of heavy footsteps coming from the direction of the open door. Neat and solid, but with a frightening feel, like the shock of a mountain or a huge rock hitting the ground. A pair of eyes can't help but focus in that direction.
Soon, more than a dozen tall, muscular imperial soldiers appeared in sight. On each of their shoulders, they carried a wooden cross that was fixed to each other with ropes and steel nails and weighed hundreds of kilograms.
, , Nail it, don¡¯t let them die now, Lin Xiang¡¯s order is like a syllable of pursuing life. The old woman who was kneeling on the ground was trembling and begging. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Xiang on the throne with stern eyes like a wolf. But she found that the other party was also staring at her with sharp eyes. Those beautiful black eyes were full of ferocity, murderousness, cruelty and caution, and the unspeakable joy that revenge was about to be carried out. pleasure.
An imperial soldier strode forward, grabbed Ekaterina by the shoulders, lifted her up high, and dragged her off the ground. Next to him, two other soldiers had flattened a wooden cross. The old man was pressed hard, his hands were raised flat, and his legs were crossed together. With the help of the other soldiers, it became a wooden cross that conformed to the wooden frame structure. ,Character.
The first steel nail was driven hard from the center of her left hand. The moment the sharp metal tip penetrated the skin, the old man's whole body shook. His muscles bounced violently as if they had independent lives. With the steel nail as the core, a dragged part quickly sunk into the middle of his palm. Yekaterchuna screamed desperately, the severe pain caused her eyes to widen sharply and bulge outward desperately. This scream, which was not like a human voice, continued until the entire steel nail was completely submerged into the wooden part. The blood that was squeezed and spurted out from around the wound spattered on the surrounding floor like strange dark red impurities. Behind the left and right palms are the overlapping ankles. As the nail head entered her body under the impact of the hammer, Ekaterina even felt that something and a foreign object were drilling into her bones, breaking through, and entering again, and the metal used to make the nails seemed to have become a part of her body. . But it can never be soaked with blood, only releasing increasingly unbearable ridges of ice and pain.
The wound felt like there were thousands of tiny insects gnawing at it. She struggled, but she felt an increasingly intense tearing pain. This almost made her faint on the spot. When the cross was erected from the ground, the weight dragged the body, causing the nailed hands to burst into unbearable splitting pain. Ekaterina felt like she was going crazy, she howled like the most savage vixen. The life-destroying curse even uses the most filthy words imaginable to express the madness and fear deep inside. This is also the only thing she can do now and even in the future.
, , I will obey your orders. The Samuel Tohen family has no hostility towards the empire. We can hand over everything and even do anything you ask for. Why is it still unfair to us? The question is full of despair and madness. More of it is the faint expectation of getting rid of pain. Although, Ekaterina herself knew very well that this and hope were almost impossible to realize.
,, you, the person who killed me, Lin Xiang¡¯s voice was as pleasant and sweet as ever: "He is not just an ordinary imperial soldier, he is also my friend and my brother."
,,I, I can pay enough compensation. ,, there was a large amount of sweat on the old woman's forehead. She endured the pain of tearing from both sides of her wrists and struggled to say: "All the rewards given by the United Doctors Association belong to you. , the Samuel Tohen family also allows you to drive me, please, let me go - she said these words one after another, like the waves that kept washing up on the shore, without any interval, almost breathless, almost He suffocated on the spot. Lin Xiang responded by slowly shaking his head, without even moving his body.
,, he is dead and will never be resurrected. If it weren't for your greed, he could have survived. I'm just an Avenger. And you are Samuel TohenThe real sinners of the family were identified one by one. After that, Lin Xiang calmly looked at the desperate Ekaterina and said: "In order to avoid the same thing happening in the future, I need a sufficiently deterrent example. No. It¡¯s just the Samuel Tohen family, and everyone in the Sixteenth family will become burial objects. I will build a road from here to the imperial capital, and the crosses filled with dying people will become the best decoration on both sides of the road."
, this madman one by one, Ekaterina used her last strength to suppress the fear deep in her heart, and screamed desperately.
Lin Xiang looked at her silently for a few minutes and said: "Maybe you are right, I may be crazy. But no matter what, I am still alive. And I am about to find the real answer hidden in this world." ( To be continued)! .
