Chapter 64: “A hero can’t back down.”

“I overused my magic power, and now my spiritual power is almost depleted…”Luo Futu undyingly hugged Zhou Yan’s arm, his whole body stuck to him hugging Zhou Yan and fell backwards, so that he couldn’t pinch his ear, “I can’t, I can’t, I’m dizzy…”

Zhou Yan simply helpless, he hurriedly wrapped his arms around Luo Futu’s body, so that he did not fall to the ground, mouth cursed, “Enough! Those Lurians are all gone, don’t get up yet!”

Luo Futu showed a puzzled expression, “Wouldn’t it be better if they ran away? Why do you have to chase them?”

Zhou Yan glanced in the direction of the Lurians’ escape and sounded a bit anxious, “They are escaping in the direction of the mine, and Gabriel is the only one guarding the mine, he can’t handle such a massive beast wave.”

Luo Futu saw Zhou Yan’s serious expression and stopped fooling around. He climbed up from the mecha while Zhou Yan hurried into the mecha cockpit.

The two sat down in the cabin until the A2 took off, then Luo Futu looked at the direction the Lurian had fled to comfort Zhou Yan, “I think you’re just concerned, the direction these beasts are fleeing doesn’t look like a mining plant.”

Zhou Yan could not tell where they were running to, but he had a bad feeling, “The appearance of a beast tide is not good after all, it is better to rush back and take a look, I feel uneasy in my heart.”

Luo Futu lifted a hand and gently propped up his jaw, looking at him sullenly, “That guy is obviously just a partner, but you treat him like a son. If you like kids so much, you should give me one?”

“Why don’t you give me one?”

Luo Futu smiled and came up to him, as if deliberately angry with him, “If I could give birth to a child on your behalf, I would definitely not say anything. Unfortunately… I’m an alpha, I can’t give birth.”

–The spell that allows alpha babies to be born may be available, but he didn’t want to tell him.

Zhou Yan just wanted to retort Luo Futu, but inadvertently glanced at the ground of A1’s flight path, he suddenly saw that the ground seems to have fallen a few small but very falcon-like birds, Zhou Yan heart of the ominous feeling steeply increased, “Luo Futu…. Luo Futu! Look what’s that?”

Luo Futu followed Zhou Yan’s line of sight and couldn’t help but look serious, Zhou Yan didn’t wait for him to say the conclusion, hesitantly guessed, “Could it be… Is it a carrier pigeon?”

Luo Futu did not give him an affirmative or negative answer, only said, “Go down and take a look.”

Zhou Yan held back his anxiety and controlled the A2 to stop at the place where the corpses of the birds were most densely packed. He slowly circled around the corpses of the pigeons and found that they had tiny rolls of paper tied to their feet, apparently going to send letters somewhere.

Zhou Yan frowned and squatted down to pick up one of them, opened it, and then cold sweat came out.

This was Gabriel’s letter of distress.

Zhou Yan stood up sharply, Luo Futu still did not know what happened, was about to ask, Zhou Yan coldly shoved the note into his hand, said, “Quickly go back! Something has happened at the mine!”

Luo Futu looked down at the note in his hand and got nervous – there were only a few words written on it. Zhou Yan saw the letter and returned quickly.

The situation when they left was so sudden that they didn’t even have time to leave a note, let alone tell them the address. He didn’t know if the pigeons on the ground were sent out by Gabriel, these little birds could recognize the way, but their physical strength was not good, if they can’t find the place to deliver the letter, they will keep flying until they die of exhaustion.

Zhou Yan did not have time to study the content of the letters on the ground, he only knew that something happened at the mine.

Luo Futu felt the mecha underneath him shaking back and forth, and even the view outside the mecha cabin was shaking slightly, and he knew that although Zhou Yan was still expressionless, he was really nervous at the moment.

Zhou Yan’s forehead was covered with a fine sweat – he didn’t believe it, he thought something was wrong…

Gabriel had never seen such a scene before, he had only seen one or two Lurians attack and he could handle it, but it was like locusts. The situation like this, like locusts appearing one after another, was really rare.

Gabriel panicked, the mecha he was piloting was the only weapon that could guard the mine, and there was another one that was idle and not functioning… He originally wanted to follow Luo Futu’s method of directly injecting the miners with the injection made by Zhou Yan, but then regretted it, he thought the hero should not do so, Zhou Yan is right, even if they are doing a good thing, using dishonorable means, good things can become bad.

Zhou Yan was absolutely opposed to using “doing good” to convince himself to break the order of behavior, because today he could convince himself to save them to use them as experiments, tomorrow may use this excuse to do bad things, even if not tomorrow, but also one day would do.

Humans could not be the standard of judgment, individuals even more so, only the rules and laws could be judged, any equal status should comply with these…

So Gabriel said things to the miners, without exception, who did not want to be the first experiment. So much so that he finally met something like today, Zhou Yan and Luo Futu left, leaving him alone.

Gabriel was shocked and distressed to see someone he had just saved some time ago die in Lurian’s mouth.

With Zhou Yan gone and Luo Futu gone, the only person who could make decisions here was himself, and he must protect his own staff.

It doesn’t feel good at all to be forced to grow up, let alone have him grow up overnight, surrounded by crumbling cries, a torch being kicked down, a mess… Until this moment, Gabriel realized that he turned out to be so incompetent, he may not even have the ability to keep the big guys fed.

Gabriel did not want to escape his responsibility, but this huge responsibility, he really did not know how to resist.

Gabriel stood in front of one Lurian after another, and the mecha he was driving subconsciously took a step back, his timid mood having affected his own seat. But at that moment, Gabriel suddenly saw a tiny girl running on the ground in front of him, running towards him with her hands open and shouting his name, “Gabe! Gabe…!”

The little girl’s voice was very childish and was quickly drowned out by Lurian’s successive howls, but it sounded so clear to Gabriel’s ears.

“Be careful!!!!” Gabriel originally wanted to run away but stopped, driving the mecha sprinted over and cupped the little girl from the ground, saving her life. 

The little girl really liked Gabriel, and even in this situation, she hugged his mecha’s arm and cheered, “I knew Gabe would come to my rescue! Gabe is Lucy’s hero!”

Gabriel looked at the little girl sitting in his mecha’s hand and had mixed feelings for a while, feeling remorse and shame for the timid mood he had just created for a split second.

Yes, he was a hero, even if not yet, he was still trying to become a hero, how could a hero back down?

What’s more, he was the only one who could save them here.

Gabriel took one look at the Lurian overwhelming the sky, and one look at a cave not far from him, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the radio speaker and shouted towards the miners who were still scurrying around on their feet, “Don’t panic! Into the cave! Get into the forge cave!”

The walls of the Forge Cave were so thick that the Lurian could be defended by dropping the stone at the gate, which was built by Zhou Yan to protect everyone during the detonation, and it was the only place that was safe. Some people heard Gabriel’s voice and rushed toward the cave, but the Lurian’s nature was to hunt humans and devour them, so when the crowd gathered into a one-way flow of people, the Lurians sensed it and they rushed toward this side.

Gabriel cursed as he gently placed Lucy in the mecha’s hand at the entrance of the cave, then piloted the mecha and rushed out.

“Marshal!!!! Young master! Come back quickly!”

Gabriel vaguely heard Li Qing’s voice calling out to him from behind, but he couldn’t care less, all Gabriel did was shout over the radio, “Write to Zhou Yan and ask for backup!”

Behind him was a safe area, and Li Qing, if he wasn’t stupid, shouldn’t have followed him.

Of course, he couldn’t follow him either. The mecha was fast, and the leap was a long one.

The mecha Gabriel was piloting was not yet ready to carry weapons, so he had to fight the Lurians with a fusion of mystic power and the power of the mecha, but once he started doing this with conviction, Gabriel found that it didn’t seem as scary and difficult as he thought, and after killing a few Lurians, he became more and more skilled, and even felt a little bit of a good time.

The Lurians were smart, and they swarmed Gabriel’s mecha’s lower limbs first, and all Gabriel heard was the sound of electricity, and then the mecha fell to his knees, he tried several times but couldn’t get up, the monsters seemed to be insulting him, he then watched as the Lurians bypassed his mecha, roaring and running towards the miners behind him.

Gabriel couldn’t get up, the damage to his mecha seemed to react to his body and both of his legs went numb, Gabriel was so angry he cursed, “You fools! Don’t you have any brains! Run! Run for the cave!”

The miners, hearing his voice, suddenly felt as if Gabriel had become the “marshal” who would beat them with a whip again.

But this time Gabriel did not swing the whip at them, he pulled himself off the seat and reconnected with the mecha, whose broken legs became hands and upper limbs became lower limbs, and Gabriel raced toward the cave, almost driving the miners into the cave along the way.

After the last miner entered the cave, the cave’s broken dragon stone was put down, the crowd was calling Gabriel into the cave. Gabriel heard many people calling him “marshal”, there seems to be a vague Lucy’s voice. But Gabriel did not enter the cave, he knew, in the face of so many Lurians, a stone door is not able to stop them. Gabriel controlled mecha back to the broken dragon stone sitting in the cave door, behind the broken dragon stone rumbled down, Gabriel’s heart felt incredibly relaxed.

The monster in front of him lunged at him with its mouth wide open, and with a “click” it cracked the door of the mecha’s cabin, and a foul stench greeted him, his first time facing the ugly faces of these monsters so close.

But Gabriel did not feel afraid.

With the mecha paralyzed and no longer able to fight, Gabriel lifted his hand forward, a faint green luminescence building up on his fingertips – a luminescence that was far too small for a mystic glow, much less a match for Luo Futu’s powerful mana that could defeat a hundred with one.

This one point of his light, which only sent one Lurian flying, was Gabriel’s last move as mystic against these monsters.

“Gabriel!” Gabriel heard a heartbreaking call from afar, and he knew it was Zhou Yan who had returned. He breathed a sigh of relief as his eyes turned a bloody color.
