Chapter 474 The real enemy
The deceased who returned from Yellow Springs obtained an immortal body.
Perhaps in that distant and long future, the Eternals are destined to be alone, but there are things they want to accomplish.
Whether it is a goal, it can be called an obsession.
Brooke is willing to hold a book written by himself in the distant future and tell the story of what happened to every passerby he encounters.
And the beginning of this story begins with an island boat in the thick fog...
"It's a perfect start."
Sabo adjusted his posture, sitting cross-legged in the air mass of bear's paw, leaning his chin and looking at Brook who was writing quickly.
It seems that after writing the most difficult beginning, Brook seems to have opened up the two veins of Ren and Du, thinking like a fountain, and writing quickly and smoothly.
"Yohoo, it's all thanks to Mr. Szabo's advice."
Brook immersed himself in writing, turning the many images in his mind into paragraphs of text.
He didn't need to use exaggerated rhetoric or overly praise, but to follow Saab's advice and use a simple and easy-to-understand narrative method to turn Maud's experience into paragraphs.
Sabo smiled, did not speak, but quietly watched Brooke write his biography.
After a while.
Brooke stopped writing suddenly, then closed the thick note.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Sabo asked curiously.
Brooke laughed: "The biography is long, but I want to write it slowly."
"That's it."
Sabo nodded in understanding, and then said in a mocking tone: "Brook, will I be included in this biography by you?"
"Will do."
Brooke said softly: "Because we are all an integral part of this 'long experience'."
"Haha, yes."
Sabo raised his hand and touched his forehead.
Brooke then asked, "Would Mr. Szabo mind this kind of thing?"
"of course not."
Sabo shook his head and said seriously: "It is a very happy thing for me to be able to appear in Maud's biography as a character."
"Yo ho ho...!"
..........
Time passed, and after the Holy Land was attacked, the third day came in a blink of an eye.
After three days and three nights of flying, Sabo and his party, who were shot by the bear, finally successfully landed on the White Clay Island, the stronghold of the Revolutionary Army.
As soon as they landed, Sabo and Luo couldn't wait to call Maud.
Sabo and Luo were relieved after learning that Maud and Xiong were safe.
"When Maud and the others get here, it will take at least half a month."
Luo held the newspaper that published the attack on the Holy Land in his hand, and his eyes showed the color of thought.
He didn't want to waste time waiting on the island before the Polar Diver reached the island of white dirt.
To him, any time before perfecting chimera research is too precious to waste.
But--
This is not a terror barque, but a stronghold of the revolutionary army.
Luo was not thick-skinned enough to ask the Revolutionary Army for a research laboratory that met the standards and all kinds of materials needed for experimental practice without the slightest psychological burden.
He was hesitating whether to speak.
In the end, he didn't want to waste his time here meaninglessly, but he still spoke.
I just didn't expect that after hearing his request, the revolutionary army agreed very readily, and even acted as if they were responsive.
Luo was quite surprised by this, but he didn't think much about it. He simply accepted the goodwill of the revolutionary army, and then devoted himself to the research room vacated by the revolutionary army for him.
The battle of the trip to the Holy Land made his desire to quickly complete the chimera research even stronger.
the other side.
The Polar Diver is on its way to the White Earth Island.
There were only Maud, Bear, and Bepo on the entire submarine, so the daily supplies on board could fully support them all the way to the White Earth Island.
Although the burden of controlling the submarine and calibrating the course all falls on Bebo's shoulders, the bears in the same group can directly photograph Bebo's fatigue with his ability, so even if there is no one to replace the shift, he can still sail for a long time.
that's it--
After an eighteen-day voyage, the Polar Diving successfully arrived at the White Earth Island.
Most of the revolutionary army cadres headed by Sabo greeted the arrival of the Polar Diving at the landing site in advance.
"Bear, welcome back!"
As soon as Xiong's front feet landed on land, many revolutionary army cadres rushed towards Xiong with excitement and surrounded him.
Bonnie didn't move forward, just bit her lip and stared at the bear outside the crowd, looking a little aggrieved.
Luo, Brook, Jim and the others are facing Maud and Bepo.
After a while of chatting, everyone returned to the base building, chatting and laughing along the way.
For the Revolutionary Army, the return of Xiong is obviously a top priority, and it also means that the Revolutionary Army has gained a very considerable combat power.
After returning to the stronghold, Maud saw the bear leading Bonnie to the pile of rocks behind the stronghold building. He wanted to come to the bear who slapped Bonnie mercilessly away again and again, but this time he couldn't escape.
This may be Xiong's family affairs. Maud did not have the mind to gossip and explore, and went directly to the room arranged for him by the revolutionary army.
He didn't intend to stay here too long, and if he could, set sail back to the Dread Barque early the next morning.
After arriving at the room prepared for him by the revolutionary army, Sabo came over with a few bottles of wine and some snacks before he lay down to rest.
"Drink?"
Sabo leaned against the door and raised his wine to Maud.
"it is good."
Maud readily agreed.
The two sat down, drank the spirits, and chatted with each other.
Halfway through the wine, Sabo suddenly thanked Maud solemnly.
Without Maud's ability, even if they risked their lives to save the bear this time, they only saved a soulless body.
For Sabo's formal and solemn thanks, Maud shook his head helplessly.
This rescue of Xiong is not only about the revolutionary army, but also about his promise to Xiong.
He has stated this many times, but Sabo doesn't seem to have heard it.
"Okay, we've known each other for so long, and some things don't need to be so ostentatious. By the way, is Sunny on a mission?"
Maud fills Sabo with wine and changes the subject to Sunny.
When I arrived at the White Earth Island, I didn't see Sunny, and the only possibility was that she wasn't on the island.
"Um."
Sabo nodded and said seriously: "Although I can't disclose any information about the mission of my colleagues to people outside the organization, if you want to know, Maud, it's okay to tell you secretly."
"It's not embarrassing for you anymore."
Maud shook his head, picked up the glass and drank it.
Just then, the door was knocked.
Maud and Sabo looked at the door at the same time.
"Maud, may I come in?"
The gentle voice of the bear came from outside the door.
"The door is unlocked, come in."
"Crench."
The bear pushed open the door and walked in, not surprised to see Sabo sitting at the table.
"Come, sit here."
Sabo grinned and beckoned the bear to sit down for a drink.
The bear did not push back and sat beside Sabo.
Maud looked at the bear and said with a smile, "Bear, you shouldn't have come smelling alcohol, right? Are you looking for me for something?"
"Um."
The bear nodded slowly.
"Go ahead, I'm listening."
Maud smiled.
Xiong hesitated for a moment, but then he simply said the request directly.
"Maud, can you take care of Bonnie for me..."
"Uh?"
Maud was stunned.
The bear's request caught him off guard.
Sabo was also stunned, and then a rare flame called gossip ignited in his eyes, looking at Maud and Xiong with great interest.
He also didn't know what the relationship between Bear and Bonnie was, but he knew Bonnie had been on Maud's ship for a while.
This led to the request made by the bear at this time, with a sense of entrusting Bonnie to Maud.
"This……"
In the face of Xiong's sudden request, Maud seemed a little embarrassed.
After the bear said the request, he did not speak any more, but looked at Maud silently, waiting for a response.
Maud and the bear just stared at each other for a moment.
He found it really hard to refuse the bear's request.
Raising his hand and scratching the corner of his eyes, Maud sighed softly: "If I just take care of her, there is nothing wrong with me, that is... If Bonnie is subjectively unwilling, I may not be able to take care of her."
After getting along for a while, Maud can be considered to understand Bonnie's temperament somewhat, and also knows that Bonnie hates being forced.
If Bear had forcibly shoved Bonnie over to him despite Bonnie's objections, he thought it would be fine, as it would save him a bad end.
Hearing Maud's words, the bear understood.
"Maud, if she doesn't want to, treat it like I didn't make this request."
"Um."
Maud smiled and nodded.
He was willing to help, but only if Bonnie didn't bother him.
"Drink a bar."
Sabo raised his glass at the right time.
"cheers."
Maud and the Bears then also toasted.
that night.
The dragon hosted a feast for Maud and the others.
It is said to be a banquet, but the dishes are quite satisfactory, which is also in line with the style of the revolutionary army.
And this dinner can be called the first close contact between Maud and Long.
In the process of casual conversation, Maud scrutinized the dragon, who was regarded as the number one criminal by the world government.
It was this man who exuded a strong aura all over his body who pulled up a powerful organization that stood on the opposite side of the world government.
Naturally, Long is also looking at Maud, a man who has risen rapidly in just a few years and has turned the whole world upside down.
Young and powerful.
And he has accomplished many feats that no one else can do.
Throughout history, it is difficult to find a person who can compare with Maud.
Long sighed slightly in his heart and gave Maud a very high evaluation.
It's just that he didn't show these senses.
He was originally a man who would not easily reveal his thoughts on the surface.
Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Perhaps it was because of the wine's enthusiasm, the revolutionary army cadres present flocked to Maud's side, looking forward to asking Maud about the specific process of the Holy Land incident.
Compared with the process of learning about this major event from newspapers, the oral accounts of the witnesses must be more authentic and more interesting to them.
Although the World Conference has ended and nearly 20 days have passed since the Holy Land attack, but...
The strong earthquake has passed, and the aftermath is still there.
The topicality of this incident has not disappeared for a long time.
At this moment, the cadres of the revolutionary army threw questions to Maude, which can be said to be full of interest.
Unable to refuse, Maud described the situation at that time and the danger he faced in a calm tone.
The banquet table suddenly fell silent.
Including those who witnessed Sabo, also listened to Maud's narration.
At that time, their goal was to break through as soon as possible, but they all ended in failure and were surrounded by the enemy's army on the square.
Now listening to Maud's narration, and thinking of the scene at that time, I think of...
All the pressure at that time was basically on Maud.
And Maud did not live up to their expectations. First, he held the Tianlong people to restrain the yellow monkey and hundreds of CP0 elites, and then won the steel bone in the ultra-high-strength duel, thus turning the tide and creating enough for them. of breathing space.
Really strong and dazzling.
The revolutionary army cadres were fascinated.
Although individual heroism is not respected within the organization, Maud's performance in this Holy Land incident has made them revered from the bottom of their hearts.
The eyes they looked at Maud changed, full of admiration beyond words.
Even within the revolutionary army organization that emphasizes teamwork, it is inevitable that there will be the concept of respecting the strong.
Because, in this world where the strong eat the weak, strong strength means everything.
When Maud talked about the unknown person who smashed half of his abdomen off from a distance, the atmosphere at the banquet table suddenly changed.
"I don't know who wounded me, but I'm sure it was the most powerful enemy I've ever encountered."
Facing the eyes full of fear and shock from the revolutionary army cadres, Maude still had a calm expression when he described the situation at that time.
"I know that your revolutionary army has always regarded the 'Dragon Man' as the real enemy, but maybe... the person who injured me is your real enemy."
"..."
Hearing Maud's words, the banquet table fell silent.
The dragon sitting on the main seat frowned slightly, and his eyes were thoughtful.
He has brought the revolutionary army to its present height step by step, never thinking that individual power can make much difference.
Above this cruel sea, a person's strength is limited.
But if there really exists that kind of detachment, it will undoubtedly be the biggest variable.
"A real enemy..."
Long looked at Maud and muttered to himself in his heart.
The dinner is over.
Maud personally delivered a late-night snack to Luo, but Luo was kicked out of the research room before he could say a few words.
According to Sabo, as soon as Luo arrived on the White Earth Island, he locked himself in the research room.
I didn't even attend today's dinner.
Maud knew what Luo was doing and tried a few words of advice, but to no avail.
After being kicked out of the research room, he went straight back to the room.
At this time, a dark and dark sandstorm broke out on the island of white soil.
The wind blew sand and gravel against the windows, making bursts of noise.
Maud was lying in front of the window, his eyes calmly watching the sandstorm outside the window.
Behind him are Bailey and Qiushui who are snatching food.
blah blah blah blah...
The wind outside is getting stronger and stronger, and the force of the sand and gravel hitting the window has also become more fierce.
Maud yawned, thinking about the owner of the breath that wounded him in the Holy Land.
At the dinner, he said that the person who injured himself would be the real enemy of the revolutionary army.
For him, it was not so.
the next day.
The sandstorm that raged all night finally stopped.
The Revolutionary Army received a newspaper with heavy news.
The news was brief, but full of shock.
The contents are as follows.
Permanent pointer to Ralph Drew.
The owner, named Douglas Barrett.
