Don't Call Me A Devil

As Ren Jie, Lu Chen and the others stood up, more and more people raised their hands to show that they would stay.

Not only all members of Shenmo Wushuang team, but also Chu Sheng, Han Yanyu, Gao Mu, and even Zhen Lingyue raised their hands to indicate that they would stay.

And someone among the students immediately said: "Brother Yue? Are you stupid? Are you staying? How dangerous? Why don't you hurry up and retreat to Jincheng while the demon tide is not here?"

"You didn't see the scale of the demon tide just now. How can such a small number of people guard? Stay here to die, right?"

However, Zhen Lingyue stared and said:

"What nonsense are you talking about riding a horse? Are you the smart one? Know that it's safe to go now? Doesn't anyone else know?"

"These defenders who stayed in Yecheng to defend the city, and the students who stayed to help are all fools? If you want to go, you go, I won't go!"

"I came to the Demon Hunting Academy not for a diploma, but for hunting demons. My father was guarding the city back then. He would rather die than return, but he protected the people in the city."

"Let's go, what about the 300,000 people? They are not human? I, Lingyue Town, can't embarrass my father. If you want to leave, you go, let alone you know me..."

At this moment, Zhen Lingyue was extremely stubborn, and he didn't seem to want to retreat at all.

Lu Chen said lightly:

"Perhaps in your opinion, what we did may be stupid, but...someone in this world needs to do stupid things...otherwise the human race would not be able to survive to this day..."

"The reason why we stayed was that we all had our own reasons. When we applied for the Demon Hunting Academy, we also made the determination to pour our blood into the matter of hunting demons."

"If you think this is stupid, of course you can leave, because this is not the life you are pursuing, and applying for the Demon Hunting Academy is undoubtedly a wrong decision for you..."

Many people looked at Lu Chen with gloomy eyes:

"Tsk~ You are great, you are amazing, you are not afraid of death, I am afraid, my parents are still waiting for me to go home, if you want to keep you, I will go!"

"Sorry...I don't have your kind of determination, and I'm not interested in risking my life for a group of strangers..."

In the end, more than 300 people chose to withdraw from Yecheng and did not stay to defend the city together, but there were still more than 2,000 students left.

As Lu Chen said, they all have their own reasons, either because they hate demons, or because they were once protected, and now they also want to protect others...

If this had happened a month ago, Ren Jie would have been one of the group who left. He admired the defenders of the city, but he would not join them...

But now it's different, he doesn't need to find some lame reasons for "doing stupid things" for himself.

He's going to stay here and do some cool stuff...

For the 300,000 people in Yecheng, for the dead... also for myself.

The students who didn't want to stay withdrew, but the students who were going to stay and defend the city still had a lot of work to do.

The work of city defense was handed over to the defense army, while the task of helping the people move to the underground fortifications was handed over to the students. Ren Jie was a Si Yao officer, and he was very experienced in this kind of thing, and he was very efficient in doing it.

The afternoon was fleeting, and as the sun gradually set, the atmosphere in the city became more and more depressing, because they knew that the tide of magic was coming.

...

On the 100-meter-high city wall, Ren Jie and the other five sat side by side on it, watching the setting sun in the sky, dangling little jiojio...

On the other side of the city wall, Sui Feng and Ning Chuan climbed up together, only to see that Sui Feng's uniform was only half worn, and a bandage was wrapped around his left shoulder, with black blood seeping faintly from the bandage.

Seeing a few people sitting on the city wall, Sui Feng walked over with a smile, sat down beside Ren Jie, and also looked up at the sunset.

"I heard that you stayed to help us. Good job, you are a great help. When the tide of magic comes, help us clean up the damage to the city wall, and the fish that slipped through the city, thank you..."

Ren Jie grinned:

"Small thing~ the injury is serious? Can the recovery department cure it? I heard that you are the fiercest one here. Everyone will be counting on you later..."

Sui Feng smiled: "Being bitten by the poisonous miasma demon is not easy to treat, it's okay, it's not in the way~ as long as you have it..."

While speaking, he took out a sterling silver flat wine jug from his arms, with a few big crooked characters engraved on it.

"hē sprinkling is harmful to the body, see kāng"

As soon as the lid of the jug was opened, a strong smell of alcohol came out immediately.

Sui Feng raised his head and took a sip, grinning for a while, but his expression was enjoying.

(◞ʘ̆伊ʘ̆) “Tsk~ha~”

Ren Jie held her chin:

(๑•̌ก•̑) “56-proof sorghum wine?”

Sui Feng was startled: "Young man, can you? Can you smell this? A whole sip?"

Ren Jie shook his head and said: "I can't smell it. Judging from the ferocious expression on your face when you drink, I won't drink. I think you're too embarrassed..."

Jiang Jiuli: (˵ಡжಡ˵)Pfft~

Sui Feng: (≖_≖ )…

"You are more direct..."

Jiang Jiuli asked curiously: "Then why are these words engraved on the wine pot? You are still drinking it if it is harmful to your health?"

Sui Feng looked at the jug and grinned: "Hahahaha, my son stole my jug and carved it on it. There are eight characters in total, four of them are not written correctly, and the other two are in pinyin. This brat, It's up to me if I don't study well..."

"My wife..."

Ren Jie was startled and quickly stepped forward to cover Sui Feng's mouth:

"Don't! Shut up! Stop talking! Don't raise the flag randomly, you? You have a son and a wife, you will be the fastest..."

Sui Feng rolled his eyes:

"Come on, I'm an old hob who has been on the battlefield all year round. Do you think I'm afraid of this?"

"When my wife was still alive, she still cared about my drinking. Now that my wife and son are gone, no one cares about me anymore... This wine... actually doesn't have the same internal flavor as before..."

Ren Jie's eyes darkened:

"No...I'm sorry, I don't know..."

At this moment, he couldn't help but look at the wedding ring on Sui Feng's finger, which was rubbed very brightly...

Sui Feng shook his head: "It's nothing. It's all over. It's better for you. You are young, and the future of the human race depends on you."

"I shouldn't have kept you here, but... well..."

Jiang Jiuli shook his head: "This is what we should do, don't worry about it..."

Mei Qian couldn't help but ask:

"Brother...the demonic disaster has taken away everything that once belonged to you. What is it that supports you until today? Comrades? Or the desire for revenge? I..."

Asked here, Mei Qian's eyes couldn't help but darken.

Sui Feng smiled and shook his head:

"Neither... There should be no reason, right? I just can't stop..."

"If I have to give a reason... I always feel that those who have left you are still looking at you, telling you to keep going and never stop..."

"You don't want to let them down, do you? You don't want to let yourself down..."

"The evil disaster did take away everything from me. I have nothing, but there is only one thing that they can't take away."

"That's the hope of taking everything back!"

At this moment, everyone looked at Sui Feng in a daze, he took a sip of wine, and his eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

"Sooner or later, I will light a spark in the fertile soil of Daxia, and use this full fire to burn through the night, lighting the way home for countless compatriots who have died in vain!"

"Proclaim to all living beings in this world that the fire of human civilization has never been extinguished!"

"And Jincheng is the new hope!"

Ren Jie was startled, looked at Sui Feng in confusion, and was about to say something, but at this moment, their eyes sank at the same time, and they looked at the forest in the distance.

"coming!"

"Yeah... coming..."
