Apocalyptic Dark Age

"Susuo..."

The sound of metal chains squeaking came from over there, and Xiao Ling was seen slowly standing up from the ground. The thin chains were deeply embedded in his body, making shaking sounds as they moved. Whether it was Xiao Ling or Ou Ya, it seems normal to turn a blind eye to these metal chains.

"Is it because of that person? Do you want to give up your responsibilities and continue to follow him? Have you been thinking this way for more than two years?"

Xiao Ling took a deep breath of the scorching heat in the room, and let out a long breath of enjoyment. His eyes suddenly became as sharp as knives, piercing Ouya's heart. Ouya didn't speak, but lay silently on the ground, watching. Seeing Ou Ya's appearance, Xiao Ling couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"He is not a reason for you to give up, but an excuse for you to give up. You have lost hope for the future of Star City, so you are willing to give up everything here and continue to follow your former master. At least by his side, you don't have to get close. Ten thousand people work hard to survive, am I right?”

"But Lord Xiao Ling, Star City was established under your planning. Compared with your efforts, the achievements I have achieved are simply insignificant. Why do you..."

Ou Ya's emotions became excited, and she kept talking about Xiao Ling's achievements, but these were not what Xiao Ling wanted to hear. The chain rang, and her arm was raised to stop Ou Ya's words, and a deep look flashed in her eyes. He hesitated, then shook his head after a few seconds and said:

"Stop talking. In the hearts of the nearly ten thousand people in Star City, the general is the hero who leads them to open up a paradise. Only you can suppress the people below and not have any dissent. It is not easy for inferior races and ordinary people to live harmoniously together." , besides you, who else can prevent them from hating and despising each other? "

Ou Ya's efforts failed again. Even though her whole body was wrapped in armor, she could still feel the depression at the moment. A smile flashed at the corner of Xiao Ling's mouth, then disappeared, nodded and said:

"Let's discuss the boy who worries you. Although you have never told me the details, I can still tell that he is not simple. He sounds a bit like you. He can combine ordinary people and inferior people with others. With Jia Luo harmoniously controlled together, this kind of person is a natural leader. You and him are the same kind of people, so you really don’t need to worry about anything. Maybe there is no master-slave relationship between you, but you may get together. At least underground, no one is worthy of you..."

"No way. He has a wife. I have nothing to do with him. I just, just..."

Ou Ya was like a kitten whose tail had been guessed. Her excited defense and flustered look seemed to make her excuse a cover-up. Xiao Ling stared at Ou Ya who was wrapped in armor, did not continue to tease, and sighed deeply. Said in one breath:

"I know that the current situation in Star City is really difficult for you. The resources are poor, the materials are scarce, the food is scarce, and the environment is harsh. In order to share the joys and sorrows with the people, it is difficult to even have a full meal. These are all things we owe you. If You must leave, I won’t stop you..."

Xiao Ling's words changed to a low and sad tone, as if she was saying her final farewell, but in Ou Ya's ears, it became a different kind of condemnation, seeming to blame her for running away because of difficult conditions. The proud Ou Ya never If she really leaves, then she will be a deserter, so in Ou Ya's ears, these tactful and meaningful words are like a bayonet, piercing into Ou Ya's heart.

"I will not leave, at least until Star City has not embarked on a virtuous cycle, I will not leave..."

Ou Ya righteously rejected Xiao Ling's persuasion. Xiao Ling's body trembled, as if he was deeply shocked by these words, but he still continued to persuade:

"Ouya, don't be like this. People in Star City already owe you a lot. Even if they helped you before, you have already paid it back. Leave. Even if you are still here, your heart is not here... "

These words made Ou Ya even more sad than the previous ones. Gritting his teeth, Ou Ya knelt down on one knee, raised his right hand and swore:

"Master Xiao Ling, don't say any more. I swear here on my honor that as long as there are still people in Star City who are hungry, people who are suffering from illness, and people who are not fully clothed, I will not leave. This is my oath... "

"Oh..., why are you doing this? If I weren't like this, I wouldn't have made it so difficult for you. It's all my fault..."

Xiao Ling seemed to be moved by Ou Ya's vow. When he sighed and finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened to the extreme. Countless weird and slender blood-colored patterns suddenly appeared on the skin of his face, and then his hair became as sharp as a hedgehog's thorns. Standing upright, the hot breath merged into the air in the room with the breath, causing the hot temperature to rise rapidly.

"Leave, leave here, I can't control it..."

Xiao Ling roared, and suddenly swelled under Ou Ya's silent gaze. The whole body doubled in size in an instant. The bulging muscles were like purple tumors, randomly intertwined and bulging, turning Xiao Ling into a A terrifying monster.

"Roar……."

A loud roar echoed repeatedly in the closed room, shaking the dust on the ceiling. It was like dust falling between the two of them. Ouya squeezed his hands tightly together and looked at Xiao Ling who was trying to break free from the chains. Ten chains were deeply embedded in the muscles of Xiao Ling's body, rolling like tentacles. At the same time, they also restricted the space for Xiao Ling's movement. His bloody and violent eyes stared at the only living thing, trying hard to rush to Ou. Next to Ya, Ou Ya was crushed to pieces.

Ten minutes, a full ten minutes, Xiao Ling, who had transformed into a monster, was struggling hard. The devil-like roars resounded in the sealed space again and again. Every time he breathed, he would spurt out scorching heat with sparks. The air flow increases the temperature in the room. The high temperature makes the bricks on the ground become as dazzling as gold. The crazy strength of the struggle makes dozens of thin chains seem to be broken at any time. You can wait for ten minutes to pass, and the monster Xiao Lingyou suddenly became quiet, and his swollen body suddenly became normal.

Xiao Ling's eyes became clear again, and the scorching temperature around the two of them was slowly decreasing. Facing Ou Ya who was waiting quietly, Xiao Ling shook her head and said with a wry smile:

"I don't want others to see me like this, so I locked myself up. Why can't you go away and let me vent alone?"

"I have to watch you. No one here except me can subdue you when you lose your mind. Although you have become more powerful, some weapons can still kill you..."

Ou Ya also breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly recalled the first time she saw Xiao Ling going crazy. Even though she was going crazy against the enemy, it still scared her a lot. Fortunately, Xiao Ling only went crazy for ten minutes each time, and every ten minutes If it goes too far, it will become so weak that it is not as good as ordinary people. It's just that Xiao Ling could control the time of his madness before, but now he can no longer control it, so he has to lock himself up.

"It's already like this. It's better to die. You are always too soft-hearted. Once people find out that I am the Nightmare Fire Demon, they will definitely be dissatisfied. Then..."

"Stop talking, I won't let you die no matter what. If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have been severely injured by the Nirvana Warrior and lost control. This is what I owe you..."

Ou Ya didn't want to hear these decadent words, so she interrupted Xiao Ling's story of suffering. After speaking, she took a step back and said softly:

"I will not leave him, nor will I hope to be with him anymore. I will find an opportunity to pay him back everything I owe him. I will leave Star City for a while tomorrow. He is unfamiliar with the place underground and needs me. Once I'm on the ground, I won't be needed anymore..."

Xiao Ling heard the frivolous brows, and then nodded slowly and said: "This is what you should do, but you will encounter danger when you go out this time. He has been regarded as the number one enemy by the military, and A-level biochemical beasts may be dispatched. You You must be careful. In addition, the Nirvana general who was driven away by us last time will not give up. Three reconnaissance posts have been removed. It is best to go back quickly to avoid endangering Star City..."

Ou Ya nodded repeatedly, feeling warm in her heart. To her, Xiao Ling was more like an elder taught by Chun Chun. She could be where she is today because of Xiao Ling's careful training. Unfortunately, Gao Feng had already left the deepest impression on her heart. As time goes by, the mark becomes deeper and deeper.

"By the way, don't tell him about my existence..."

At the end, Xiao Ling seemed to remember and said to Ou Ya solemnly. Before Ou Ya could nod, the heavy door behind him was suddenly pushed open, and a deep baritone voice came out:

"No, I already know. I wonder what the relationship between Lord Xiao Ling and the commander of the Northern Military Region is?"

After saying these words, Gao Feng walked into the hot space without any armor. The scorching heat flow swirled around him, forming a cyclone visible to the naked eye. The cyclone brought a new air flow. The medium-long hair blowing in the peak is like a lion standing in the wind, dignified and dangerous.

"You..., how did you get in? Where are the guards?"

Ou Ya couldn't help but scream when she saw Gao Feng, but she had no intention of taking action. She began to worry about the guards outside. The heavy iron door closed dullly behind Gao Feng. Gao Feng did not look at Ou Ya, but focused on Xiao Ling. There was an inexplicable flash of light and he continued to ask:

"Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, the one word difference, is it a coincidence or some kind of connection that outsiders don't know?"

"Master, Lord Xiao Ling cannot have any contact with the military. He is the real leader of the resistance. If it weren't for him..."
