Last Totem Novel - Chapter 511
Chapter 511 Foundation
Tie Zha twisted open the steel bars welded to the window and went into the fourth floor of the fortress. He quickly walked towards the “restricted area”.
After passing through a section of stainless steel corridor, his vision suddenly became clear, and a semi-circular metal door appeared.
“Sir.” Seeing Tie Zha, Sophia Bubvero, who was guarding the entrance of the restricted area, immediately brought a few members to greet him. The entire Nightingale Group was a female insecticide carefully selected from many gathering places in the southern continent. Each of them possessed two to three insecticide abilities, and they were more or less related to perception. They were all sharp-eyed and calm-witted snipers.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded. Sofia then made a hand gesture to the team member at the door behind him. The team member immediately pulled down the door. With a soft “drop” sound, the semi-circular door slowly descended.
Walking through the door, there was a 40-50 square meter surveillance room. Groups of LCD screens were hanging on the wall, displaying images of many corners of the restricted area.
“Is she awake?” Tie Zha asked a Nightingale member in front of the monitoring platform.
“Sir, she got up and sat up for a while, then fell asleep again.” The Nightingale team member stood up and said.
Looking up, Lena was holding the quilt in her arms and curling up on the large bed, as if she was sleeping soundly on some of the surveillance screens. There was only a living room between her bedroom and the surveillance room, and she could be seen through the small door of the side door, bypassing the wine cabinet and the sofa.
But Tie Zha did not intend to wake her up. According to the ancient records of the Temple of Glory, dragonizers were very sleepy. Once their sleep was disturbed, their temper would become very irritable. Perhaps the commotion below was too loud just now. Her accessory brain awakened her, releasing a dragon’s might to drive away the annoying mosquitoes and flies.
At the same time, under the control of Hagrid, Zhao Wenke, and the others, order gradually returned to the hall.
In order to calm down the influence just now, Zhao Wenke captured a few suspicious-looking men and ordered the soldiers to be escorted outside and executed on the spot.
“You can’t do this!” “Master, Master Jun, I didn’t do anything!” “Spare me, spare me” “Don’t … don’t kill me!” Several men struggled and were dragged out.
Seeing this, Hagrid immediately chased after him and asked, “Do you have any evidence?”
“There’s no need for evidence” Zhao Wenke walked over from behind and whispered in his ear, “We have an old saying in the Far East that we use heavy codes in wartime.”
“In other words, they are very likely innocent?” Hagrid asked with a frown.
“It’s just possible.” Zhao Wenke replied. In such an extraordinary time, only extraordinary means could be used to solve the problem, otherwise, it would not be able to appease the soldiers’ emotions, nor would it be able to deter potential enemies.
“I don’t agree.” Hagrid said in a low voice, and with a wave of his hand, that soldier in charge of escort immediately stopped. He was the one who recruited the Crimson Peak Guards, and he had a certain reputation among the bounty warriors of Sand Wind Castle. When the time came, he would naturally listen to him.
“Boss, you can’t do this. For the sake of a little bit, you can’t risk the lives of more than 5,000 people in the entire stronghold.” Zhao Wenke hurriedly lowered his voice and said.
“This is not a small section, but a principle.” Hagrid said solemnly with a cold face. “Brilliant rage only destroys true evil.”
“Furthermore …”
“I never felt that the five thousand lives in the stronghold were more precious than the four in front of me.
“Everyone is equal before life.”
“There is no distinction between nobility and lowliness, no distinction between weight and quantity. Whether it is a person or a hundred thousand people, they are all equal.”
“We are all in the genetic chain, sharing the glory of our ancestors.”
“The idea of sacrificing a minority for the benefit of the majority in the Far East is ridiculous in the eyes of our glorious bloodline.”
Seeing that Hagrid was unconvinced, Zhao Wenke sighed helplessly and said, “How about this? Let’s listen to your fifth brother’s opinion before making a decision, okay?”
“Fifth Brother, come out and talk.” Hagrid picked up the communicator and said.
Not long after, Tie Zha came down from upstairs and asked about the situation. “This isn’t simple” he said.
“Put down a few empty guns and throw them all into prison.”
‘”Uh” Hagrid and Zhao Wenke were stunned at the same time. They didn’t expect Tie Zha’s plan to be so simple and crude, yet it worked.
After Tie Zha left, Zhao Wenke patted Hagrid on the shoulder and said, “Looks like your family has a professional politician.”
For a moment, Hagrid could not tell whether he was happy or worried, whether it was good or bad. Politicians are often cunning and cunning, putting interests first and losing all measure. However, the best leaders are often the most cunning conspirators.
Just as Hagrid and Zhao Wenke were peeking at each other, in a small building on the old street in Sand Wind Castle, Old Blind was spitting out saliva from dozens of his subordinates to mobilize before the war.
“For thousands of years, we corpse transporters …” “Corpse transporters only seem to have a history of more than 600 years, right?” Old Blind’s voice was filled with Yin and Yang, but a discordant voice could be heard from his subordinates.
The old blind man coughed softly, cleared his throat, and said, “For six hundred years, we corpse carriers have been diligent, diligent, brave, and fearless …” “Fearless?” However, before he could say a few words, another discordant voice came out.
“Our corpse transporters are diligent and diligent. They are like rats in the sewers and cockroaches in the corners. They used their stubborn vitality to build an enormous underground kingdom …” “Six houses and half a street.” Someone reminded.
This time, Old Blind didn’t change his mind. He straightened his stooped waist and slapped a black object on the small table. With a “pa” sound, he shouted with a high tone, “Six houses and half a street, can’t it be huge?” Afterwards, in order to avoid misunderstanding between his peers, he added, “Not to mention, there’s not even half a street …”
“Old Master, let’s get to the point.” A small leader leaned forward and suggested in a low voice.
“The important thing is, we must guard the cold storage and our corpse carrier’s inheritance. We can’t let a single insect in.” He paused for a moment, and his empty eyes seemed to flash with a trace of light. Then, he shouted, “Boys, do you understand?”
“Understood!” The little leaders answered in unison.
At this moment, at the other end of the old street, in a small house with colorful curtains, clean surroundings, and some plants planted, an old woman with white hair and a kind face was talking to several disciples. Her voice was gentle and slow, but it did not lose its clarity and dignity.
There were candles lit in the hut. The red candles reflected the faces of the youths, bright and dark.
A girl was standing beside the old woman, her entire body hidden in a black trench coat. Beneath the cover was a pair of eyes as bright as snow.
“Fifty-three years ago, the old seamstress handed over the cold storage to me …” The old woman slowly said, “In a blink of an eye, half a century has passed. I have also become an old seamstress …”
“Sooner or later, this cold storage will be passed on to you from generation to generation.”
“This is the foundation left to us by our ancestors. We must guard it properly.”
“Yes.” The disciples answered in unison.
“Tie Ling.” The old woman turned her head and said to the girl beside her.
“Disciple is here.” Tie Ling nodded in agreement. Compared to a few months ago, her temperament had become even more calm. However, for some reason, there was a trace of a dark aura on her body. It was like an ice-cold corpse, causing people to feel inexplicable fear.
“Although you haven’t entered the sect for a long time, your talent is outstanding. This time, I’ll leave it to you to guard the cold storage for me.” As the old woman spoke, she looked at the other disciples. Wherever their gazes reached, the disciples all lowered their eyes.
“Yes, sir.” Tie Ling bowed slightly and said.
Fifteen hours later, it was 1:00 a.m. Silver City Time, Dr3716-12-19, and 118 p.m. Satt Time.
The pitch-black swarm of insects continued to surge around Crimson Peak Stronghold, like viscous liquid flowing on the ground.
Tie Zha and Hagrid sat on the city wall, drinking frozen beer while staring blankly at the swarm of insects not far away. Ever since Lena fell asleep again, the swarm of insects had gradually closed in. The flying flies seemed to have changed directions and did not fly over the stronghold.
Therefore, although there were bugs everywhere outside, the stronghold was peaceful.
“It’s the Praise of the Gods Festival in a few days. We must celebrate it this year.” Hagrid said. As expected of a person who walked between life and death, at this moment, he could even think of celebrating the New Year. In the Far East, New Year’s Day is usually around February, while in the West, the Midlands, and the Southern Cemetery, New Year’s Day is celebrated as the Praise of the Gods in December. As for the Northern Desolates, both holidays are celebrated.
“I can go catch some gerbils.” Said Tie Zha. Although as a person on the ground, he had no concept of festivals. But in Tieshan Town, on this day, the nuns of the Divine Rain Prayer Palace would come down and give out two pieces of fragrant cheese bread.
He remembered the festival because of the bread. Although the cheese bread had long lost its allure to him, the beauty in his memories remained undiminished.
When he thought of bread, he couldn’t help but think of the two sisters from the Muyu Clan. If they made it themselves, wouldn’t it be especially sweet?
Neither he nor they knew, however, that many years ago he had received a cheese bread that tasted a little strange and was stuffed with paper, made by the two sisters themselves.
Back then, they walked into the kitchen with curiosity, and under the guidance of the chefs, they randomly made a bread that didn’t seem to have any problems, but tasted a lot of problems. And the unfortunate person who received this bread was the young man sitting on the city wall, daydreaming …
In his thoughts, a starlight suddenly flashed in the sky, followed by a streak of light that was not drunk.
“Aggressive …”
A long jet came from top to bottom and disappeared into the corner of the stronghold. Tie Zha and Hagrid looked over at the same time.
“I am the Platinum Knight of the 3rd Brigade of the 5th Army of the Dawn Expeditionary Force. Benjamin Rado, I need to see the person in charge here.” After the meteor landed, he immediately straightened his body and shouted at the soldiers around him.
