The thug smashed the hammer and nailed the last nail. The wooden house was finally completed. He wiped his sweat and jumped down from the roof, admiring his masterpiece with a very satisfied expression. The wooden house had three bedrooms and a living room. It was very simple and had no furniture because it had all been burned down. The configuration was not as good as the original one on the ship, but it was better than living in the wind and sleeping in the open.
He thanked the sailors who had come to help him and continued his work. Recently, he had joined the fishing farm by the sea, specializing in fishing. When the sailors saw that the lord who had said that he would come to work had really come, they admired him and worked hard. The gangster happened to brush shoulders with Jue Yue, but he didn't say anything, as if he didn't know him.
He needed some time alone to calm down. That was what the idiot said. However, when Jue Yue saw him talking and laughing with the sailors, she didn't feel sad at all.
Jue Yue sat by the sea and played with the four-horned crab and the shell, putting them together. The four-horned crab would open the shell, sift out the stones, and then eat the meat. Jue Yue treated it as a pearl detector. Soon, Jue Yue found many pearls on the beach, but they were all broken. Bored, she raised her head to look at the hooligan. He had been busy the whole morning.
"Time to eat!"
There was a special chef at the harbor who cooked a big pot of rice. He led a team of chefs with buckets and shouted at the seaside. All the sailors happily put down their work. The big pot of rice was delicious. There were not many resources in the red zone. To be able to eat such food was simply a gift from nature. Usually, there would be no leftovers. The hooligan heard the shout and followed them, ignoring Jue Yue and the idiot, even though there was some food at home. Jue Yue called the idiot over to the dining room and sat down with the hooligans.
The gangster looked very happy. He and Jue Yue told him the strange stories that the sailors had told him. Jueyue put the spoon into her mouth and said nothing.
"What about the fortifications? Aren't you going to care?" Idiot asked in embarrassment. The gangster's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
"I don't want to interfere in the war anymore. I feel that ordinary life suits me very well, so I will resign from my job as a lord soon.”
"What?" Jue Yue slammed the table and stood up, causing everyone to look over. "Why?" Jue Yue asked again after the commotion had subsided.”
" I'm tired of this life," the hooligan said as he swallowed the last piece of food." War is not a game. It's not fun. After eating the soil, we don't have much lifespan left. Maybe we still have 20 years, maybe we still have 10 years, no one knows. Then why don't we live the life we like?”
"What about us? What should we do?"
"The Death Butterfly will return to the coast. As for Bai-Edy, you can go to Mu's. The research lab is more suitable for you.”
The idiot stared at him.”The gangster nodded, turned around and returned the utensils to the cook. He no longer stayed with them and went to talk to the sailors.
"Are we finally going to separate?”The idiot smiled and waited for Jue Yue's response. Jue Yue lowered her head, her long hair hiding her expression. Her clenched fists trembled as if she was trying to hold back something.
"Whatever he says.”She turned around, bringing out a string of sparkling crystals.
However, retirement was not that simple. It required the approval of the lords. For this reason, the Black Monarch woke up from his recuperation and went down the Cursed Mountain. The five lords gathered in Nevi City.
"Have you thought it through?" the Death Butterfly asked.
"Yes."
The four of them looked at each other. Black Monarch shrugged. However, if you encounter a large-scale recruitment, you will also be one of the Red Zone soldiers.”
"Protecting the red zone will never change.”
Jue Yue was waiting outside Neville City for the hooligans, and there were idiots with her. The two of them had a regretful look on their faces. From now on, their fates would be different.
"I will always remember the memories of these days.”The gangster smiled gently.
"Forget it. If you forget, there won't be so many things.”Hearing this, he poked Jue Yue with his finger, telling her not to say that. Jueyue slapped his hand away, and tears began to fall again.
"Hahaha, you can come and play with me anytime. That small house is where I live. Then…" The gangster bowed." Let's part ways here."”
"Who wants to play!" Jue Yue shouted hysterically at the hooligan who was leaving with his back facing the setting sun. However, all she got was a wave from him.
" Me too..." The idiot sighed." I received Mu's sign, and I'm going tomorrow."”As he spoke, he left in another direction.
Jue Yue knelt on the ground, crying nonstop.
What did I do wrong?
"Jue Yue?" After crying for a long time, Jue Yue heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw the Death Butterfly.
"Do you want to come to my place?"
"How is it…it's all good!" Jue Yue suddenly stood up, as if she was angry.
In the second century, the hooligans who had been lords for less than a year disappeared. Some people said that he mingled among the sailors and lived an ordinary and happy life.
Another two years passed.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The location is in Ghost Basin!" The soldier shouted angrily. Suddenly, a bone spear pierced through his skull, and the earpiece of his communicator was soaked in blood and short-circuited.
The first assault team received the final order and set off quickly, lying in ambush outside the basin. Because they did not know who the enemy was and they came from the hinterland, the danger and the unknown made the soldiers cautious.
The bone spear once again pierced through the air and stabbed straight into the tree trunk where the soldier was hiding. It almost pierced through, scaring the soldier into crawling back. A distorted figure ran out of the fog formed by souls. The assault team was frightened when they saw the enemy clearly.
The enemy's entire body was rotten, and its flesh was flipped up. There were also some places where white bones were exposed. Most of the skin was charred and unrecognizable. It looked completely like a corpse, but it ran extremely fast. In the end, it jumped onto a tree and pulled out the spear.
"It's a Corpse Ghost! Requesting backup!"
Ordinary bullets were useless against ghouls. At most, they would leave a hole. Weapons with high lethality would take a long time to reload and would not be effective against a single target. The assault team retreated repeatedly, but they could not stop the attacks of the ghouls. More than half of them were killed or injured.
The Corpse Ghost stood in front of the last soldier and was about to stab down with its spear when it suddenly flew backward. The power of the vortex formed by the black wing membrane was huge, and it brought the Corpse Ghost a hundred meters away.
However, the ghoul did not give up on the opportunity to kill the other party. Under extremely difficult circumstances, it threw its spear and stabbed the soldier's abdomen.
As soon as the whirling stopped, Jue Yue drew a cross with the red and green blades. The corpse ghost let out a strange sound as its body was cut open by the cross blades of different depths, and its shriveled internal organs were about to be exposed. With a roar, a black shield flew out of the Hero Altar and knocked the Moon Jue Shield back.
After two years of growth, Jue Yue had become calmer in battle. She looked more mature at the age of 20 and had lost her childish feeling. However, her chest had not developed much. There was a scar on her neck, which was left during a training session.
She had never fought a ghoul before, but seeing that the ghoul's moves were slow, she was not afraid. She took her daggers and went forward again.
Soul·Orbit Spear.
Jue Yue turned sideways to attack. She raised her arms and started to spin. The Soul Dagger slashed first, but the corpse ghost used its shield to block it. Unexpectedly, the short dagger was so powerful that it forced the steady shield away. The Soul Dagger passed by, and the Soul Dagger came again. The green and red arcs formed a big circle in the air. The ghoul's movements were slow and it was unable to dodge. The green slash blasted it away. Jue Yue did not relax and threw out both daggers. However, the distance between the daggers was too small, and the ghoul was able to block it with its shield.
Jue Yue smiled. She held the sharp trajectory with both hands, broke the vertical part, and threw it out like a javelin.
Now that Jue Yue could freely control the trajectory of the sword tip, he could pick it up and pass through it at any time. In order not to snatch her hand when she grabbed it, she wrapped a bandage around her hand. After many trainings, she was used to having an extra layer of bandage, so her hand felt better in battle.
The rail spear hit the ghoul and nailed it to the tree. The ghoul seemed to be in an abnormal state of life and death. It roared repeatedly and broke the rail spear in an instant. It waved its tattered arms and wanted to pounce over.
A white figure appeared behind Jue Yue. He unsheathed his long saber and slashed the corpse ghost in half. Jue Yue was shocked. She had fought with a ghoul before and knew that it was tough. She didn't expect that this person in white and wearing a bamboo hat could cut it open with one slash. His strength wasn't bad.
"May I ask who this warrior is…"
"A vagrant traveling here. This was the first time he had heard of a ghoul.”
Jue Yue nodded." I've never seen any ghouls in the Red Zone. I was shocked today."”
Ronin didn't reply and walked straight to the Altar of Heroes not far away. Sure enough, on the sunken square, one of the coffins was open. "Rebellious Light Yiyi Lotus" was the name of the corpse ghost just now.
"Is the legend true?"
"What legend?" Jue Yue had been studying at the Death Butterfly's place, so she didn't have much contact with the outside world.
"After the new batch of slaves arrived in the Yellow Zone, some of them started hallucinating and kept shouting the name 'Yi Yi Lian'. Some people said that the Yi Yi Lian who had rebelled previously had not died out, or that she was about to make a comeback.”
Ronin paused for a moment and did not continue, because the dagger was already on his neck.
"Tell me, what are you doing in the red zone, green zone!”
"How do you know?"
"You used 'Delivery'." The Red Zone said that the slaves in the Yellow Zone usually used "escort" or "exile to", while the Yellow Zone used "come". Only the Green Zone would use the insignificant "send" in order to make the exiled slaves sound dignified.
"Hehe. I'm not sure. I am a Ronin and have nothing to do with any organization in the Green Zone. There is no need to worry.”He raised his hand. Jue Yue was still worried. His voice was very low, and there was a hint of disguise in his voice. He did it on purpose. Jue Yue didn't know what this person's goal was, so she didn't dare to let her guard down.
On the other side, there was another change. The two were in a stalemate, and the Corpse Ghost had actually returned to its original appearance before the battle. When it sensed the Corpse Ghost's movements, it had to react. It did not expect the Corpse Ghost to leave in the opposite direction, so it did not pursue the matter.
"I'm very interested. Do you want to investigate it together?”
"I'll go by myself." Jue Yue didn't want to partner up with strangers, so she put away her weapon and went back.
"You've changed a lot, Jueyue."
Under the white bamboo hat, a strange expression appeared.
