Chapter 141

And we say we are rescuing people, but that doesn't mean we just fish them out and bring them to the camp.

The problem of food and water is not a problem, because with the preparation in advance, it is not a problem to last two months under the current situation.

In fact, the real difficulty is medical treatment - the most professional ones in the entire Bronze Tree are probably Nishio Nishiki and Nishino Takami.

But with their ability, they can deal with minor injuries, but if they are more serious, they will be helpless - they will die if they are not sent to the hospital!

However, it is precisely because of this that the Bronze Tree has formed a tacit understanding with certain search and rescue groups during this period.

The former is responsible for rescuing people from dangerous areas that are difficult to reach manually, and the latter is responsible for treating the injured.

But having said that, there are still many injured people responsible for the Bronze Tree, and many of them even have great resistance.

After all, both hospitals and various shelters are already operating at full capacity... Who would come to a rescue camp run by a ghoul if they weren't forced to do so?

Of course, if the other party wants to leave, he won't stop him.

As for whether this will expose the camp...just pull it down, there is no way that such a thing could be hidden from the beginning.

Unless those rescued people are kept in the camp, it will only be a matter of time before they are exposed...

But if that really happens, there will be big problems.

If you can't hide it, then just make it public.

Just when everyone was paying attention to the situation in Tokyo, he simply asked someone to take a video of the situation in the camp, and then posted a clip of Chunqiu Brushwork on the Internet.

But besides that, there was a bigger trouble coming.

——Noble General Arima!

Not long after the dragon appeared, the CCG god of death came to the door with his zero team... in an extremely miserable manner.

There were several wounds on his body that were deep enough to show the bones. The most serious one was the stab wound on his abdomen, which stabbed him directly through.

Not only that, even the members of Team Zero who were following him were almost all injured, obviously having experienced a fierce battle.

——In addition to being chased by V, the other reason was because he brought his people back and robbed Kano Akihiro of his research data on dragons.

It's just that even now that the relationship between Bronze Tree and CCG has eased, when they saw that the person coming was the white god of death, Bronze Tree's ghoul almost started to fight with them.

——There are too many ghouls who have a grudge against Arima Kisho.

So many that whenever the name "Arima Kisho" is mentioned, there are only two emotions: fear and hatred.

The most intuitive example is that he once taught Lin Qiao the fighting technique Sifang Lianshi.

His sister, who was also the mother of Touka and Aandu, was killed by him, and even Hezi was made into the Kuink named "Narukami".

Even if everything that the other party and Aite had planned was later explained, hatred cannot be erased with a few words.

Even the current dissatisfaction was suppressed by Aite using his position as leader.

But to put it bluntly, if the matter of Arima Kisho is not handled properly, then the Bronze Tree may really split this time.

Crunch——

At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Aite walked in from the outside silently, still wearing the vacuum bandage outfit that he would rather die than change.

The bandage covering her face and the low-hanging hood made it difficult to see her face.

After walking in, he walked straight to Lin Qiao, pulled out an empty stool and sat on it.

"I'm giving you a rare day off. Will you come back so soon? Or are you so worried about me?"

"..."

Aite, who was sitting across from him with the posture of Commander Ikari, did not reply. He exuded an aura of indifference that prohibited strangers from entering.

Anyone could tell that she was in a bad mood...well, very bad.

After a long silence, he said, "Arima... still wants to die."

"What?"

Is there such a good thing?

Lin Qiao twitched the corner of her mouth, took a deep breath, and then resisted the urge to blurt out.

"Didn't you advise him? For example, to keep him useful or something?"

"I wouldn't come to you if I really wanted to be useful."

"So you don't want me to help you persuade you?"

"No, to be precise, I don't intend to stop him."

"Then what do you want from me?"

Aite shook his head, then pulled Lin Qiao up on his own initiative and walked towards the door: "Let's go, he wants to see you."

Chapter 154 White Death and Red Passing Demon

Not long after, Lin Qiao walked to Noble Shogun Arima's "ward".

It is said to be a ward, but in fact it is just a rest room. The conditions of the Bronze Tree are not as luxurious as this.

Outside the door, four members of the Zero Division wearing white uniforms were guarding the door.

Despite various reasons, Aite had already issued an order to temporarily spare the other party's life.

But there are quite a few people who have a grudge against Arima Noble General. Under such circumstances, it is completely normal for some people to disobey orders and take risks.

Therefore, in order to prevent the extremely weak Arima Kishou from being killed by a sneak attack, the Zero Squadron that arrived with him naturally acted as a guard.

There were four people in a group, guarding the door of the room continuously throughout the day.

Of course, after hearing footsteps approaching, Lin Qiao immediately encountered the hostile gazes of the four people on the opposite side. However, this hostility only lasted for a moment and then disappeared.

For them, apart from Et, Lin Qiao is one of the few people in the entire Bronze Tree who can be trusted.

At least he has no hostility towards Arima Takasho.

He pushed open the door with a relaxed look, looked at the man who had woken up from a coma, and shrugged: "Long time no see, this should be our third... Forget it, let's just count it as the second time we meet."

After all, when he met him before, he was already on the verge of death and completely fainted.

If it weren't for Lin Qiao using his ability to repair his and several other people's injuries in time, they would have to prepare for the seventh day of the first month.

But even now, he has not recovered, and his face is almost the same color as his hair.

Although from the current situation, it would be better if he died at that time.

"I didn't expect that we would meet again in this situation."

"I didn't expect that you would join the Bronze Tree after leaving Kuquelia, and seize the leadership of Xiao in such a short time."

Shaking his head, even with that indifferent tone, he couldn't hide his helplessness.

There have been too many changes during this period of time. Whether it is the usurpation of Et or the dragon created by Furuta Nifuku after his father died, they have far exceeded the original expectations.

Undoubtedly, the plan to cultivate the next generation of the One-Eyed King can almost be declared bankrupt - not only is there no suitable candidate, but there is no time for growth.

The room was surprisingly quiet, and Lin Qiao found a suitable seat and sat down.

He glanced at Arima Kisho who was always looking outside, and asked calmly: "Then, do you still plan to commit suicide?"

"Well, most ghouls are disgusted with my existence. If I continue to live, it should cause trouble for you."

"...Since you know, don't come here from the beginning."

"Because I didn't expect that I could survive after suffering such an injury." There was a certain surprise in the plain words.

At least when he snatched Kano Akihiro's information and asked the Zero Division to take him to the Bronze Tree before he fell into a coma, he really didn't think he could survive.

From his point of view, after cutting his household register, Furuta Nifuku's next step is likely to be to completely control CCG.

So whether he goes to the hospital or returns to CCG, he is walking into a trap.

Since he will die anyway, why not use his own death to eliminate the hatred of those ghouls, pave the way for peace between humans and ghouls, and hand over the information about Dragon to At.

"So, you actually came back to give yourself up?"

"That statement... Forget it, according to your understanding, it should be about the same."

He suddenly stopped talking halfway, as if he didn't want to argue with Lin Qiao about this matter. Then he pushed his glasses and said helplessly: "But unfortunately, I survived, which is why you and Et are facing such a situation."

"Does it feel like I saved you wrongly?"

"To a certain extent, it is true. Letting me die there at that time was the best result."

Lin Qiao's mouth twitched: "If it weren't for Et and Ru looking for me, do you think I was happy?"

"So this is your mistake as a leader - the suggestions of subordinates can only be suggestions after all, and when they are contrary to the collective interests, choices must be made."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Because what you did is unreasonable."

".......I really want to kick you to death now."

"Please."

Lin Qiao was really speechless, but to a certain extent he could understand Arima Kisho's choice.

.....But someone's flesh repairing skills are better, and he pulled him back from the brink of death.

Not dying when he should have died was probably his biggest mistake.

Although he understood, Lin Qiao still didn't understand why he would commit suicide because of it.

"If that's all, you shouldn't have to want to die, right? After all, Et should have mentioned my ability to you..."

"Change your appearance and fake your death? She did persuade me to do so."

"But you still refused."

"Yeah, it feels really complicated... It was she who proposed that I become the cornerstone and sacrifice, and now it's also her who persuades me to live..."

He smiled dumbly. When Et came to him to talk about this, he was really shocked.

"She's a pigeon, it's normal."

Recalling Et's almost lost look before, Lin Qiao shrugged.

"As long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. Only by living can you create more value..."

"Although I really want to talk about these great principles, these things should have been told to you by At, so I won't waste any more words."

Lin Qiao did not regret his decision to save Arima Kisho at that time, but if the other party insisted on seeking death, he would not stop him.

"But I am still very curious about why you made such a decision."

".....The reason..."

He repeated it in a low voice, and his eyes were cast on the cloudy sky outside the window again.

Seeing him like this, Lin Qiao did not urge him, but just picked up the pear that someone sent as a comfort gift and took a bite.

After a long silence, he sighed in frustration.

"I can't stand up anymore. To put it bluntly, my lower body is paralyzed."

"Hey, are you serious?"

"Is it hard to believe? Unfortunately, it is true. I stabbed my left leg with a knife and didn't feel anything until I bled."

He pushed his glasses and said something that surprised Lin Qiao without any emotion.

He had said this to Et before, and the two people's reactions were similar.

Chapter 155 I'll leave them to you

Humans have their limits.

The same is true for half-humans.

As long as he has a handy Quinque in his hand, Arima Kisho can completely beat everyone in the Bronze Tree except Lin Qiao, but his half-human physique holds him back.
