Chapter 271 The walker


    When the group climbed out of the underground waterway, most of them were already exhausted and panting.


    In the past, these citizens of Jiaxintu would never dare to enter the underground waterway. Although Jiaxintu has a layer of granite layer that cannot be penetrated by the beasts, this does not mean that the beasts will not invade. In fact, they have been worried about meeting the orcs in the underground waterways - fortunately, they have good luck.


    "Okay, hurry up, now is not the time to rest."


    Seeing his companion panting, the man in the lead frowned and spoke.


    "I have made an appointment with someone, and he will take us to the court...but he will only stay until dawn! If you don''t hurry up, we will be left behind!"


    “Woo……”


    Hearing the man''s words, the others were speechless for a moment, but they still gritted their teeth and stood up and continued to walk forward. Since they made the decision to leave Jia Xintu, they have no way back. Moreover, they are suffering from the plague and cannot continue to live in Jia Xintu. Now only by going to the court can there be a glimmer of hope!


    Soon, the group came to the ruins not far below Jia Xintu, and then they entered a dilapidated garage. It was pitch black at this moment. However, the man in the lead had just walked in and saw that after the dark garage, the light suddenly shone on their faces. Then, everyone saw two burly and strong soldiers holding weapons and aiming at them!


    "You are...GEAR?"


    Seeing the familiar soldier''s logo, the man''s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly raised his hand.


    "We are not spies, we just want to leave here! Damn it, do you have to kill them all?!


    “…………”


    Faced with the man''s roar, the two soldiers looked at each other, then put down their guns, and then at this moment, another person walked out.


    "Stop quarreling. They are not here to catch you, they are also travelers."


    "What does it mean?"


    Looking at the vagrant businessman who had traded with him, the man looked confused.


    "You mean...they are going to the courtroom too?"


    "That''s right! Okay, get in the car quickly! I don''t want to stay here for too long!"


    Under the urging of the homeless businessman, the man took the others to the truck with some anxiety, and then they stared at the two soldiers and quietly distanced them.


    At this moment, the two soldiers also entered the car behind the truck and sat down. Then the vehicle immediately started and galloped towards the distance.


    “………………”


    In the roaring carriage, no one spoke. The refugees curled up in a ball of anxiety, while the two soldiers were sitting outside. One of the flat-headed men took out a pendant and rubbed them constantly. Another man wearing a turban looked at his comrades and sighed helplessly.


    “To be honest, Dom, I’m not sure if this is the right choice.”


    "I know, but since there is news, I won''t give up, Marcus, you understand."


    As he spoke, the man named Dom turned his eyes to the pendant in his hand again. Looking at his companion''s appearance, Marcus shook his head and said nothing.


    In fact, these two people are not ordinary GEAR soldiers. They are the ace elites from Squad D and have shown their skills in the "light quality raid" not long ago. Logically speaking, elite soldiers like them cannot leave Jiaxintu without permission.


    But...Dom had to do so.


    Because he is looking for his wife, Maria.


    Before the Beast War began, Dom and his wife raised two children, but during the Beast War, their two children died one after another. Dom''s wife Maria could not withstand this blow and became mentally ill. She always thought that her children were still alive and always ran out to find them aimlessly.


    Finally, two years after the incident, when Dom went out for a mission, Maria disappeared.


    After this, Dom has been looking for Maria''s whereabouts. He firmly believes that Maria is still alive, but has never received any clues.


    Until not long ago, the Inquisition appeared, captured the underground beast nest and rescued the prisoners, and some GEAR soldiers inside also returned to Jiaxintu to report. At that time, Dom learned from these people that there seemed to be a woman who looked very similar to the one in the photo, who was in the court.


    At that time, Dom actually wanted to go to the court to find his wife, but because of the current mission, he had to postpone the schedule. It was not until after the light-quality raid that he found the convoy of homeless people going to the court through his connections, and made a deal with the other party, asking them to take him to the court.


    In COG''s view, this kind of behavior is tantamount to defection, but Dom is already determined to find his wife. The final explanation for completing the light-quality raid was already his final explanation to COG. So in desperation, his comrade-in-arms Marcus had to secretly leave Jasintu with Dom and go to the legendary Inquisition.


    At this moment, Dom also found a convoy of homeless people who were willing to take people to the Inquisition through his connections among the homeless people.


    In the past, this kind of transportation convoy was very dangerous, but now, since the Inquisition and COG launched two consecutive attacks on the underground of the Orcs, they were knocked down to the underground and dared not come out. As a result, the transportation industry became prosperous, and for many homeless people, taking people to the territory of the court is also a very cost-effective transaction.


    These convoys were not organized by the Court itself, but they are not unhelpful to the homeless. Under the current circumstances, the Court has shown strong power and can also bring people a sense of security. In addition, plagues are rampant in many places, and many people choose to leave their original residences to go to a safer place. Therefore, these convoys of homeless people can also transport these people to the territory of the Court by charging them for remuneration.


    And now, the same is true.


    After two days and two nights of car, everyone finally arrived at the Inquisition - the place in the legend.


    "This is the Inquisition..."


    Looking at the five-meter-high city wall in front of him, the black steel warrior standing at the gate holding guns, and the skull and war hammer carved on the city wall, the man swallowed a saliva and then coughed violently - in the past two days, he could feel his body becoming more and more painful, and the disease seemed to be eroding his body.


    Now, there is no way out! “Let’s go!”


    The man gritted his teeth and brought the others to the gate. Then, they were stopped by two steel warriors.


    "Who are you? What do you want to do?"


    "I, we are here for help!"


    Looking at the dark steel warrior who was more than one head taller than him, the man hurriedly spoke.


    "We want to survive... We are infected with the plague, and we can cure us here, right?"


    “…………”


    Hearing the man''s words, the steel warrior looked at each other and then pointed to the side.


    “Get in from there, someone will tell you what to do.”


    “Huh……”


    Hearing the steel warrior''s answer, the man breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought about hiding the situation on the road, but the problem was that these people were indeed infected with the plague, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance. It is useless to conceal it in this situation. If the Inquisition can really cure the plague... then he might as well take a gamble!


    Now it seems that he has bet right.


    Soon, the man brought the others to the side. When they came here, they found that this was an empty place, and another steel warrior stood on the other side, and beside him, there was a strange statue of hammerhead and skull.


    “If you want to enter, pray to it, and after praying, you can enter the city.”


    "………pray???"


    Although as citizens of Jia Xintu, the man and others have long been accustomed to filling out various applications when entering the city, it is the first time they have to pray. They look at each other in a glance, but they still obediently came to the strange statue and then began to pray. At the same time, the man also clenched his fists and closed his eyes.


    Please, please save me. As long as I can cure my illness, I can do anything!


    “————!!”


    Just as the man made a wish in his heart, suddenly, he felt his whole body tremble, and a cool breath emerged from his body. The heat and pain that originally surrounded his body, as if he was about to burn him to pieces, disappeared in front of this cool breath! ?


    "This, this..."


    The man opened his eyes in surprise, and then he took a deep breath. If it were the previous one, even such movement would be enough to make him cough out his lungs. But this time, he breathed the fresh air very smoothly, and his originally tired and painful body became much more energetic!


    How is this possible?


    Just pray, will the plague you have been infected with is cured? !


    It’s that simple? ? ?


    Or is it just that I have hallucinations?


    The man looked at his companion in surprise, and the surprised expression on their faces told the man that this was not the hallucination caused by his fever and confusion. The plague that troubled them was really cured?


    How did this be done?


    "I, our illness is cured??"


    The man looked at the steel warrior in surprise and asked tremblingly, who just nodded slightly.


    "Remember the kindness of the Inquisition to you, you can leave."


    After saying this, the Iron Warrior stopped looking at them, and the man and others hurried to come to the side and got together.


    "What should we do next?"


    "Have our disease really been cured?"


    "I can''t understand why? Can prayer cure the disease? I''ve been praying all the time... Why is this happening..."


    Everyone''s expressions are very complicated. They all came after they made up their minds, just like men. They originally thought that they might encounter many difficulties after coming here, and they even thought that they might be rejected and even needed to make some sacrifices to exchange for the opportunity for treatment.


    The result...it''s that simple?


    Is it cured so simply?


    Then what should we do with our determination?


    “………………”


    Amid the crowd''s discussion, the man was silent for a moment, and then he raised his head.


    "I decided, I want to go back to Jia Xintu."


    "You want to go back???"


    Everyone else was shocked to see that his leader was going back. ,


    "Why?"


    "Because others are still suffering! And now, we have found a way to cure the plague, and I will not leave them there waiting to die!"


    As he spoke, the man clenched his fists.


    "I want to rescue them instead of letting them stay here and be killed by COG!"


    Then he spoke.
