NFBE Chapter 218 Careful Shen He
Chapter 218 Careful Shen He
Romansky taunted him, "Did you get your brain damaged? You were the one who was tied up first."
Timor looked at himself after hearing this.
Oh, it turns out I was tied up too.
"How is this going?!"
Romansky: "What's going on? I wanted to ask you something."
In the center of the camp, Zheng Tian, who was eating, looked unhappy and shouted at them, "Shut up."
Romansky shut up immediately.
Just now, he and Anton were discovered while observing from the outside and were both tied up.
After he came over, he was unhappy to see Zheng Tian like this, and thought that Zheng Tian and others were from a rich family. Then he said unhappily, "As expected of a rich young man, he really knows how to enjoy himself."
Zheng Tian's face immediately turned sour.
Immediately afterwards, Romansky received a welcome ceremony of twenty big boards and learned to be quiet.
……
After dinner, Zheng Tian stood up and walked to Anton and others, ready to have a good chat.
Zheng Tian: "You just said that you have no hostility, right?"
Anton: "Yes, my friend, who are you?"
Zheng Tian: "A traveler passing by."
Anton was silent.
Passing by the Layered Rock Chasm? This place is not suitable for a tourist attraction.
Anton: "Well, traveler, if you are really a traveler, then we should not have a conflict. On the contrary, we have the responsibility to ensure your safety."
Zheng Tian looked at the rope on Anton.
Nothing was said, yet it seemed like everything was said.
Anton: "...Uh, isn't it because you have more people and are more powerful?"
Zheng Tian rolled his eyes: "Okay, that guy named Yanbo told me about you guys, I know why you are here."
Anton said happily: "Brother Yanbo? It seems that he hasn't forgotten us. We are also one of his own. May I ask what happened up there?"
Zheng Tian: "It's over. The Executor attacked Liyue Harbor and abandoned you."
Silence, still silence.
Anton's face froze, and he felt his mouth was a little dry, but he finally forced a smile and said, "Is that so? No wonder. But I completely understand that in order to assist in more meaningful adventures, Lord Rooster would naturally abandon relatively low-value assets. This is his rationality."
"As his direct subordinates, we can totally accept this."
Mona couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have any resentment at all?"
Timor felt bitter: "Yes, but what can I do?"
Romansky lowered his head, as if he didn't want others to see his lost expression: "We are just chess pieces, abandoned chess pieces. The chess players who used us as chess pieces will not be sad about this."
Although they are aware of something, they are still human beings, not cold machines.
Zheng Tian suddenly remembered that when Tartaglia's brother Tok sneaked into Liyue, Tartaglia gave a speech to the new soldiers outside the Stratum Chasm. In order to deceive Tok, he even directed and acted out a play with laughter. At that time, Anton and the others...
Zheng Tian shook his head and shook off some thoughts: "Let's talk about business. Yanbo said that you are familiar with this area and may be able to help me. And you seem to need food."
Anton: "...I think none of us will refuse this deal."
Mona was surprised and asked, "You guys aren't thinking about evacuating?"
Zheng Tian said that he could trade for food, which proved that he didn't intend to kill them all or enslave them. Normally, shouldn't he have thought about evacuating?
Anton: "The captain said that we came here with the intention of not returning home. Now that we have food, we have a reason to continue fighting."
Mona looked at Timur and Romansky: "You think so too?"
Timur: "... who else but me?"
Romansky also shouted: "Who else but me?"
This is their slogan.
Anton: "Friend, what should I call you?"
Zheng Tian: "My name is Zheng Tian, the one wearing the hat is Astrologis Mona Megistus, and the other one is Shen He."
Anton: "Ass...what toast?"
Mona's face darkened: "Just call me Mona."
……
Under the leadership of Anton and his team, Zheng Tian and his team came to the camp of the Ninth Company. The two sides reached an agreement that the Ninth Company would help search for materials and serve as a guide while continuing the mission.
In addition to the 9th Company, there are other Fatui stationed in the Stonehenge, but their camp is located elsewhere.
Under Anton's persuasion, these people also joined the cooperation.
The abundance of food not only filled their stomachs, but also soothed their hearts. Even though the shadow of being abandoned by their superiors still loomed, their morale was significantly improved.
Because in their view, even if they died here and now, they would die in battle, rather than starving to death on the spot without knowing anything.
Therefore, they are very grateful to Zheng Tian.
But Zheng Tian still did not let down his guard, after all, human hearts are unpredictable.
Therefore, Zheng Tian decided to take a preventive measure: every night, he would use the power of the Black Shadow Ninja to take Mona and Shen He back to the surface mining area.
However, unexpectedly, this move inadvertently touched the hearts of Anton and others.
They did not notice Zheng Tian's precautions and only thought that Zheng Tian and his men would return to the mine to rest every night. However, this small detail revealed Zheng Tian's freedom, while they had lost too many comrades here. This sharp contrast made Anton and his men feel sad.
The next morning, Zheng Tian and his two companions came here again and found a large number of people sleeping soundly, but a few people including Anton were sitting around the extinguished campfire, holding their comrades' belongings in their hands, silent.
Zheng Tian left some ninja soldiers for them to keep watch at night, so they could feel more at ease here and didn't need to be on guard all the time.
Zheng Tian: "Why are you up so early?"
Hearing the sound, Anton and the others looked over.
Anton forced an ugly smile: "It's you, good morning."
Zheng Tian found that their eyes were bloodshot. Although they tried hard to hide it, he could still see sadness and fatigue on their faces.
What Zheng Tian didn't know was that the other fools couldn't sleep much in the first place, but due to their great joy and sorrow, they were still relaxed and couldn't hold back in the second half of the night.
Mona poked Zheng Tian and asked, "Are you still moving forward?"
Zheng Tian: "This is not a very efficient way to move forward... Forget it, Anton. We still need to explore the surroundings. We are not in a hurry to move on."
"You guys take the guys and clean this place up. I'm going to turn this place into a rear research room. After the cleanup, you can move freely, but don't cause any trouble."
After saying that, Zheng Tian turned around and left. Seeing this, Mona and Shen He hurriedly followed.
Without waiting for Mona to say anything, Zheng Tian took the initiative to say, "Don't get me wrong, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. I just want them to perform their duties more efficiently."
Mona bumped Zheng Tian with her shoulder and said jokingly, "Yeah, I understand, I understand everything~"
Shen He was puzzled again: "But the plan this morning..."
Mona gently pulled Shen He's hand: "Sometimes, plans can be adjusted."
Shen He thought for a moment and asked, "Is it because they are too tired? But as long as you grab their heads and knock them on the ground twice, they will still work."
Zheng Tian asked curiously, "Why two times, instead of one or three times?"
Shen He always says knock three times.
Shen He: "One hit is not painful enough. If you don't learn your lesson, you will feel dizzy if you hit three times, so I'll do it twice."
Zheng Tian: "...Shen He, you are so considerate."
Shen He: "Careful? Me? Thanks for the compliment."
Seeing that Shen He was still puzzled, Mona was a little worried, afraid that she would really hit someone, so she pulled Shen He and ran to the side: "Zheng Tian, I remember there seems to be some good ore over there, let's go take a look."
I have to explain it to her, but how should I say it?
