In some ways, Qin Hehuan's personality is just like the princess's—very awkward.
"Thanks, consider it a favor I owe you."
He didn't turn around, but simply waved goodbye with his back turned.
But Qin Hehuan paused, her full chest heaving slightly, before she gritted her teeth and whispered:
"Who cares whether you live or die."
Strictly speaking, this is the second time Qin Hehuan has experienced such a scene.
Unlike when she first exiled Nie Qingyun, Qin Hehuan was now genuinely reluctant to let him go to his death.
Although she always looked down on such trivial emotional entanglements between men and women, it was undeniable that Nie Qingyun was indeed the most promising person she had ever met.
Among the survivors of the apocalypse, there are countless people with a vast amount of knowledge, but "possessing" and "being able to use it flexibly" are two different things.
In Qin Hehuan's memory, even those agents in the Sabak intelligence agency who had received rigorous training since childhood might not have been able to perform as well as Nie Qingyun under the same conditions when facing Liu Chengyuan.
This is still in the early stages of the apocalypse. If he can successfully pass the trials, his future achievements will be limitless.
Most importantly, this man is willing to risk his life for a trusted companion without hesitation.
This means that once you establish a friendly cooperative relationship with such a person, you will not be easily betrayed, and nothing is more important than this in the apocalypse.
but.
This man's head was like it was filled with granite; he was incredibly stubborn and wouldn't listen to reason.
Since you won't speak up, then I'll play the bad guy.
Thinking of this, Qin Hehuan sighed, turned around abruptly, and looked at the other person's back, saying:
"Nie Qingyun, before you rush to your death, why don't you listen to my advice?"
Nie Qingyun stopped in his tracks, slightly surprised. Before he could turn around, Qin Hehuan's emotionless voice came from behind him again.
"Including your former teammates, there are still 19 people alive in the tennis hall."
"My [Slave Beast] can lure Liu Chengyuan over before it runs out of strength."
"That way, both you and Cheng Yuqiu can survive."
Chapter 126: The Final Plea
"That way, both you and Cheng Yuqiu can survive."
Nie Qingyun turned around again and looked at Qin Hehuan.
A few meters away, the girl stood still, letting the evening breeze ruffle the hair on her forehead.
His dark eyes were calm and still, yet they always gleamed with an aggressive light, making people want to look away after just one glance.
"Well, as expected of you, you were able to make such a calm decision."
"It works very well, doesn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Nie Qingyun simply smiled and shook his head.
Seeing that the other party still seemed unmoved, Qin Hehuan couldn't help but feel a little restless. She calmly said:
"I have no right to judge whether you are noble or a fool."
"But before you make a decision, you should at least consider some of the single-minded guys."
As she spoke, Qin Hehuan glanced at the fading mournful cries behind her and continued:
"That rascal……"
"I can't live without you."
Nie Qingyun hadn't expected Qin Hehuan to bring up the young lady at this time. Slightly taken aback, he curled the corners of his lips and said:
"The young lady is different from before."
"Whether it's a monster or an enemy, she has enough courage and strength to face them."
"I am absolutely certain about this."
"Are you stupid?!" Nie Qingyun was interrupted sharply before he could finish speaking.
"Or is it that your excellent insight is only effective when dealing with enemies?"
Qin Hehuan's chest heaved, and a hint of anger appeared on her usually calm and beautiful face:
"You should know better than anyone where her courage and strength come from, right?!"
Seemingly realizing that her words were tinged with too much personal emotion, Qin Hehuan took a deep breath and slowed her speech:
"For anyone, courage and strength are like an open mouth hanging over an abyss."
"You must hold on to something solid to avoid falling."
"That guy can't afford to lose anything more..."
"This doesn't sound like something you would say." Nie Qingyun raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat unable to understand the woman in front of him.
She could have easily used Cheng Yuqiu as a mere tool to maintain her rule, so her current statement feels quite incongruous.
Qin Hehuan seemed to understand what Nie Qingyun was thinking, and said frankly:
"My heart and my actions are as clear as a clear mirror, and everything I do is righteous."
"I will not make excuses for any of my past actions."
"In my eyes, everyone has a price tag."
"That's why I respect life even more."
"Rather than let those rabble die meaninglessly."
"It would be better for me to make better use of every sacrifice."
"Nie Qingyun".
At this point, Qin Hehuan's expression suddenly became more serious.
Whether you like it or not, you can never go back to the past.
"Every gift of fate comes with a hidden price."
"No one can escape unscathed from this disaster."
"Mortals plan for tomorrow out of fear, but I must design for eternity."
"This is my destiny, which was set from the moment I was born into the Sabak Consortium."
"Just like Cheng Yuqiu, so too are you."
"IMHO."
"In my opinion, all the lives in this stadium combined are not even half as important as yours."
"So, you must go back alive."
For a moment, only the sounds of the two monsters fighting in the center of the square remained.
Nie Qingyun stared at the girl in front of him, somewhat lost in thought.
He had never considered himself a leader, so he didn't resonate much with Qin Hehuan's words.
However, one thing is certain: this woman is carrying something heavy on her shoulders.
None of this mattered to him.
The problem now is that this woman clearly has no intention of giving up easily.
The way they were acting was as if they were going to forcibly tie him up and take him back.
From a macro perspective, Qin Hehuan's strategy was indeed a reasonable option.
Sacrifice the insignificant people in the tennis court to save your own life and the lives of those who matter.
Without the ability to resurrect infinitely, Nie Qingyun probably wouldn't have been able to raise any objections.
But things are different now.
First of all, if we go back with Qin Hehuan like this, then the [Lying Treasure Chest] left behind by Liu Chengyuan will disappear.
A guy of this caliber is bound to drop a lot of good stuff.
Secondly, after Han Zheng finds the [Primordial Crystal], he should go back to rescue the people who were tied up in the basketball court.
If Liu Chengyuan catches up with them, their entire army will undoubtedly be wiped out.
Then those one thousand [Primal Crystals] will also disappear.
This operation was tantamount to a complete failure.
No matter what, Nie Qingyun had to stay.
For now, the young lady still needs to be looked after by Qin Hehuan, since she is the only woman capable of leading everyone to safety.
The best course of action is to avoid pointless arguments and peacefully persuade them to withdraw as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Nie Qingyun suddenly smiled somewhat frivolously, looking at the other person's long legs encased in black stockings:
"Is what you just said a confession?"
Qin Hehuan didn't speak upon hearing this, but her eyes sharpened, as if she was preparing to take forceful action.
Just then, a black figure crashed down beside them like a cannonball, sending up countless flying pebbles and debris.
Then it sprang up from the rubble and rushed toward the center of the square.
Qin Hehuan lowered her arm that was covering her face, her expression solemn.
Seeing this, Nie Qingyun immediately took a few steps back, keeping a distance from him, and said:
"Your 'enslaved beast' is nearing its limit. Aren't you leaving? Are you planning to stay and die with me?"
"Do you really have to go to this lengths for the sake of others?" Qin Hehuan's voice turned cold as she spoke bluntly.
“Cheng Yuqiu will face more than just the dangers of the apocalypse in the future.”
"We are in the same boat when it comes to protecting her life."
"But I can't keep her imprisoned by my side forever."
"I need your help."
"So you really do have other plans..." Nie Qingyun didn't avoid the other's gaze, and his expression actually relaxed a lot:
"But even if it's just for now, it's enough. Let's go back."
"I'm not that easy to die, and I'll repay the favor I owe you today."
"As for the young lady, I will explain it to her personally."
“If I go back with you today, I will never be able to look directly into her clear eyes again.”
With that, Nie Qingyun resolutely turned and charged into the battlefield.
"Are you an idiot?!"
Qin Hehuan instinctively wanted to step forward to stop her, but in the blink of an eye, Nie Qingyun had already entered the combat zone. Helpless, she could only take a deep look at the center of the square, turn around and walk in the direction where Saotome had retreated, leaving only a cold voice echoing at the edge.
"I will temporarily take your people under my care."
"If you die, I will use you as I please."
"I've informed you of this matter. That's all."
Chapter 127: The Unexpected Ending of the Woodcutter's Knife
As Qin Hehuan disappeared, the black "enslaved beast" fighting Liu Chengyuan in the center of the square was clearly at a disadvantage.
He could barely withstand the opponent's attacks before, but now he couldn't even withstand a single blow. After resisting a few times, he was instantly blasted away by a punch.
He then rose from the rubble and returned to the battlefield.
As Qin Hehuan said, as the physical distance between her and the "enslaved beast" increases, its attributes will be greatly reduced.
It's estimated that this "enslaved beast" will be completely defeated before long.
Although it's unclear exactly how Qin Hehuan cultivated such a monster, the fact that this woman didn't immediately take back the "enslaved beast" is, in a way, already a great deal of kindness and consideration.
Nie Qingyun's current task is to hold off Liu Chengyuan in his demon form, so he won't waste the slightest opportunity.
