Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 44 Departure
After reaching a consensus with Jiatu, Hena left the tent and disappeared into the hall of the residential area.

She didn't say where she was going.

But Jiatu roughly guessed her destination.

"Where did that dead girl go? Are you really not going to come back?"

After Jiatu lifted the curtain, Hera wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Jiatu with some rosy eyes and asked.

"Probably at Hualun's place. With Zhiti accompanying her, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Jiatu replied, subconsciously clearing the curtain of the tent.

"Dead girl..."

Hera murmured.

But there are still some unacceptable.

Seeing her distressed look, Jiatu hesitated for a moment, then walked over and hugged her slowly:

"Young chicks still have to travel far when they grow up..."

"Even if you can't understand, I hope you can feel her enthusiasm and approach..."

"Please face her decision well..."

"After all, she is your child..."

"Mother……"

.

Recording layer, monitoring hall.

This is located in the second half of the record layer, which is inaccessible to ordinary shelter residents.

Even the administrators on the ninth floor only have the right to monitor, not to manage.

The handsome man in brown clothes stood in front of more than 100 large and small screen walls, watched Hena and Jiatu in the surveillance probe saying goodbye to each other, turned his head to look at the tall man beside him, and expressed dissatisfaction in his tone:

"Are you satisfied with this? Captain Wu Yao."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Elder Hua Yu."

The tall, brawny man with short brown-black hair and a menacing aura nodded.He stood up from the monitor seat, which was only half the size of his buttocks.

Then he lowered his head, looked at Hua Yu and asked:
"Do you think they'll take part in the third round of testing?"

"...Who are you talking about? My son? Hera's daughter? Or the adopted son she picked up?"

Hua Yu said deliberately.

"You know exactly who I'm talking about."

Wu Yao replied in a low voice.

"...I don't understand why you would rather have me lie than force them to go down that path."

Hua Yu knocked on the monitoring platform with some annoyance. It was rare for him to have such obvious emotions.

Wu Yao thought silently, and then replied:

"There is no dead end in this world."

He looked up at Hua Yu and said:

"The so-called dead ends are nothing but artificial designs."

"Our enemy is Ability God, and sometimes, 'the road to nowhere' is the right path."

After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to the southwest of the shelter:

"No matter how dangerous the third round of testing is, it's still just a wall."

"No matter how lofty and towering—"

"Turn it over, that's it."

.

"You must come back well..."

In the early morning of the third day, at the gate of the ninth recording layer.

Hera hugged the girl in her arms, suppressing the sadness in her heart, and said softly.

The expression on the girl's face was obviously a little confused.

It seems that he did not expect his mother to appear here.

Jiatu and Hualun stood not far from the door, watching this scene with some emotion.

The ponytail boy asked Jiatu casually:

"What kind of magic did you use to persuade Aunt Hera to see us off... I thought she and Hena had a big fight... When Hena arrived at Zhiti's place, she was already crying ..."

"I just don't want it to be the worst."

Jiatu held his hands lightly and said.

The third round of test notification from the expedition team had arrived in their hands last night.

The letter told them to go to the golden hall on the central floor in the early morning of the next day-bring a brain, and don't wear a coat.

So neither he nor Warren wore capes.

But at this time, it was the coldest season in the refuge, and even hundreds of meters deep underground, one could feel a faint chill.

So Jiatu kept shivering, trying to use friction to increase some heat for himself.

"Don't let the last farewell become a regret..."

On the other hand, Warren seemed to understand Jiatu's thoughts, and he gave the correct answer with just a hint.

"Speaking of which, what about Zhiti, won't she say goodbye to us?"

After recovering from the cold, Jiatu looked around, but did not find the blond girl.

He said "we" quite naturally.

Because last night, although he accepted Hena's proposal, he made an agreement with the girl that "the two of them will not die together".

But he still signed up to keep up with the team.

After all, according to the rules of the shelter, regardless of whether he will participate in the explorer test in the future, this is probably his last chance to leave the shelter and go to the "outside" to see it.

"Know her..."

On the other hand, upon hearing Jiatu's question, Warren also said with some emotion:
"She is similar to Hena, she is very weak to bear the 'farewell', at this time she is hiding in the room and crying secretly with a pillow...".
Hearing Warren's answer, Jiatu couldn't help confirming again:

"...Don't you think about it anymore? You know that Zhiti should not be able to leave you, right? I said it yesterday, I have forgiven you, and you really don't need to go with us to the third round of testing gone."

However, Warren was somewhat disapproving:

"This is my own 'Dao Xin' problem, if you don't want me to 'broken Dao Xin', then let me go - anyway, if you or Hena are injured or die in the third place because of me Wheel, I can't accept it either."

"...ready to 'die', a 'lunatic' who was ready to die before the age of 20..."

Jiatu murmured that he had gradually understood the nature of this group of people.

"It's only half the chance."

Warren said with a smile, and said with some indifference: "I am prepared to live to be 30 years old. This age has reached the average level in the shelter. I don't have much to owe."

"..."

Listening to Warren's answer, Jiatu remained silent.

He just suddenly realized that the average life expectancy of more than 80 years old in his previous life has become an extremely distant past for him.

Perhaps it is precisely because the people in the refuge have just grown up and have not much life left, so each of them lives extremely desperately and passionately.

The fiery intensity was even to the point where it could burn him.

Thinking of this, Jiatu couldn't help deliberately avoiding the topic of Warren, and turned his attention to the two women in the distance.

"Okay, Hera and Hena seem to be over, let's go."

Warren stood where he was and didn't move.

He watched Jiatu walk up to Hera, hugged the red-haired woman lightly, and whispered something.

Then he rubbed Heda's little head again.

Bringing Hena back, the three meet.

The three of them discussed in a low voice, and then walked along the central stairs to the central floor together.

　Tomorrow, the normal double meal will be updated. According to the progress of the plot, there will be the next climax around Wednesday.
