chapter-939
Dudian landed on the opposite side of the lake. There were a few crocodiles wandering on the shore. It seemed that they were out of touch with the mainstream team. Several crocodiles twisted their bony tails as they saw Dudian and Jason Land.
Jason took the initiative to welcome them.
Dudian didn’t go up to help but looked around. He noticed that there were some footprints on the ground. The air was still filled with the smell of Zaite. It was obvious that they had escaped to this place.
In less than half a minute Jason had finished off the four crocodiles. He went back to Dudian’s side and asked: “Where Are We Going?”He didn’t even notice it, he was used to consulting Dudian’s opinion.
Dudian looked at his wristwatch. The green circles and yellow dots were still not moving. It seemed that he had given up on chasing them. He was a bit disappointed but didn’t show it. He thought for a moment: “Hide the combat system and find Zac and the others. They should still be nearby.”“How do you know?”
Dudian looked back at the fortress which was in chaos: “They won’t be willing to leave until they see the collapse.”
Jason looked at him: “We refused to escape. What should we say if we find them now?”
“Can’t we regret it?”
Jason wryly smiled: “Alright. But if they are ready to leave then should we leave with them?”
“The leader should listen to the leader. If there are any opinions then we should go our separate ways. We are two abyss and he only has one.”Dudian glanced at him, “You will cooperate with me.”
“Alright, I will listen to you.”Both of them followed the trail and smell on the ground.
There were no fortresses on the lake but there were no monsters. There was a bare mountain in front of them. It was not suitable for the monsters to attack unless the mountain was flattened, it was enough to attract the attention of the empire’s border guards.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a whistling sound broke through the air.
Dudian looked to the side and saw a sharp arrow coming from the god of war’s wall. There were several soldiers standing on the edge of the wall holding bows and arrows. It seemed that they recognized them as deserters.
The arrow stopped in front of the two and was easily dodged. The soldiers on the god of war’s wall didn’t shoot again but looked at them coldly. It seemed that the arrow was a warning to them.
Jason cursed. He was about to say something when he heard a loud noise coming from behind. He looked back in fear.
He saw that the fortress was slightly tilted and was about to collapse. There were a lot of giant beasts behind the fortress. It seemed that there were many holes in the fortress.
Dudian frowned. He didn’t expect the fortress to be so weak. However, it was no wonder that the fortress was not strong enough to withstand such a large scale monster attack. After all, it was a man-made civil engineering. If a pioneer spent some time, they would be able to dig a hole, the soldiers on the fortress were restrained by the four-eyed monsters. No one stopped the monster’s attack. Naturally, the fortress would collapse soon.
Dudian continued to follow the tracks.
Ten minutes later, Dudian and Jason came to the edge of a forest. There were a few figures who jumped out of the forest and stopped in front of them. They were Zac and the others who had defected. However, the number of them was obviously reduced by half.
“Why are you here?”Zac frowned as he saw Dudian and Jason. There was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Dudian seemed to be relieved: “We have caught up with you. You are the smart ones. If we had run a bit later then we would have been buried there. You have seen that the fortress is about to collapse!”
Zac looked at Dudian for a while and relaxed: “Are there only the two of you? Where are the others?”
“They are dead.”Dudian shook his head and sighed.
Zac wasn’t surprised. It was a miracle that they were able to survive for such a long time. Only Dudian and Jason were able to survive because of the strength of the abyss, dudian and Jason wouldn’t be able to escape if the monsters were to appear at the beginning. They would be considered lucky. He felt a bit lucky for his foresight: “If you had come with us earlier we wouldn’t have taken such a risk. We wouldn’t have lost too many people.”
Dudian and Jason looked at each other and sighed. They didn’t want to talk about it.
Zach looked at them: “Did you bring the combat system?”
“Of course not.”Dudian shook his head: “That thing can locate our position. Jason and I were running halfway when we heard the roar of the coach. He told us to go back to our posts.”
Zach’s expression was as I expected. He was about to say something when his face changed. He stared at Dudian and Jason.
Dudian was stunned. He instinctively wanted to turn his head to look at Zach. However, he was the first to react. Jason who was next to him looked back: “Damn! Why is this grandson chasing us?”
Dudian knew that it wasn’t Zac who was blackmailing them but he didn’t turn back. He frowned as he looked at Zac. His eyes were fixed on him and Jason, there was anger and killing intent in his eyes. The other people around him were also angry.
“It’s not us.”Dudian immediately said, “We are not stupid enough to cooperate with these people to catch you. I don’t know how he found us.”
Jason reacted after hearing Dudian’s words, he quickly said: “Yes, we clearly saw them stop in their position when we threw the combat system. How could they chase us? Wait a minute. Did they deduce our escape route from where we threw the wristwatch? Or do they have super perceptive people?”He said in a surprised tone, it was extremely realistic.
Dudian had to admire them. Everyone was an award-winning actor at the critical moment. Although Jason’s reaction was slow but his acting wasn’t inferior. Moreover it was more realistic and natural. Even he could be deceived, he even suspected that Jason’s reaction was slow to blur his judgment.
Zachet stared at the two of them. His eyes were full of killing intent: “We are temporary troops. We are cannon fodder and dead people in their eyes. I hope you don’t make a mistake and do stupid things!”
“Of course we won’t.”Dudian sighed.
At this time, the instructor and two other officers had caught up with them. They stopped about thirty meters away from each other. The instructor’s face was gloomy, he saw that there were Dudian, Jason and Zach among the group of people. In other words, none of the Abyss had contributed to the war.
“Why aren’t you running? !”The instructor’s voice was ferocious.
Dudian tilted his head and looked at the instructor. He could see Zach and the others from the corner of his eyes: “Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to catch up?”
“Why are you so stubborn?”The instructor’s eyes were cold as he stared at Dudian, suddenly he said: “I’ll give you a chance. Catch this kid and go back with me to plead guilty. I’ll spare your life. You will be punished to serve for half a year and be admitted into the regular military camp. If you are qualified then you will be directly transferred to the regular army or be discharged.”
As soon as he said this, the others were moved.
When they saw the instructor and the other two officers, the rulers and pioneers around zaite were already in despair. At this moment, the instructor’s words were undoubtedly giving them a ray of hope.
Although they knew that this might be a poisonous apple, they still couldn’t help but want to eat it.
