New Europe, north of the second district.

Winter begins early in high latitudes, and there have been two snowfalls in early October, and the sudden drop in temperature drove homeless people into abandoned huts in the forest.This is not a safe area, but as long as there is a fire and a few wooden walls that can keep out the cold wind, it is a warm home for them.

Two armored vehicles broke into the forest, and their large snow tires savagely rolled over the snow, pressing the abrupt branches and shrubs into the fertile humus soil.About three kilometers away from the faintly bright wooden house, the steel giant stopped abruptly, and seven heavily armed mercenaries quickly got out of the car.

In the low temperature where dripping water turns into ice, white mist comes out in groups with breathing.The leader pulled down the goggles, adjusted the viewing distance, observed the interior and exterior of the wooden house from a distance, and gestured "forward" to his subordinates.

No one noticed that the detection laser hidden in the bushes was blocked by the hurried pace.

Rhea suddenly opened her eyes, turned over and sat up, and then pushed the boy who was sleeping beside her to wake up.The other party rubbed his eyes and sat up, looking at him in confusion.

"Take your sister to the basement, lock the door from the inside, and don't make any noise."

The boy's brain woke up in a low voice, and he jumped out of bed and shook the girl sleeping on another bed, then wrapped her in a blanket and dragged her to the basement.

The three magnetic locks on the iron door closed quietly.

Rhea put on her coat calmly, tightened the scabbard tied on the outside of her thigh, put a gun in her waist, put on the goggles and opened the window.

The cold wind blows head-on from the darkness, and the vigorous figure quietly jumped down from the second floor.

The wooden house was surrounded, the windows of the bedroom on the second floor and the living room on the first floor were shattered at the same time, and two tear gas/bombs sprayed white smoke and rolled to the floor, circling in circles.The door was smashed hard, followed by the sound of footsteps.

"Boss, no one!"

An anxious roar came from the bedroom on the second floor, and a loud "bang" was heard, and the iron door of the basement was hit hard.While banging on the door, the boy hiding in the basement heard a hoarse voice saying, "It must be hiding here!"

He tightly covered the girl's mouth, his heart was beating violently, and he held his breath.

Puff—boom!

There was a muffled sound, followed by the movement of the body throwing itself to the ground.

Puff puff--

There were three more beeps in succession, and no one hit the iron gate again.

On the hillside about 800 meters away from the wooden house, Reya was lying in the white snow, fine-tuning the sight range of the sniper scope and aiming at the mercenaries who touched the second floor through the wide open window.

The bullet burst out, and blood sprayed hundreds of meters away—hit another one.

The remaining two quickly hid, and at the same time called out to their companions downstairs, but there was no response.He fired five shots in a row, and every shot hit the vital point accurately.After all, for Rhea, aiming at people is much easier than aiming at sand pythons.

These guys had been hired to take the lives of those two kids, and he didn't have to show mercy to them.

The situation in New Europe is very chaotic, the United Parliament and the Liberal Group are divided into courts, and each has its own political demands, leading to an endless stream of assassinations.It is precisely because of Luan Reiya that he chose to settle here. Hunting for crystal cores is easy for him, but crystal core transactions are strictly controlled in New Asia, and it is not easy to get them.The more chaotic the place, the looser the control. There are black markets for buying and selling weapons, crystal cores and medicines, and there is no need to worry about being traced for any transaction.

He encountered a road chase more than ten days ago. He didn't want to be troublesome, but he saw two children being dragged out of a nearly crashed off-road vehicle from a distance. He rang the button before the killer executed them. trigger.

The two rescued children, Thomas and Eliya, are a 12-year-old boy with brown hair and green eyes, and the other is a nine-year-old girl with blond hair and blue eyes.Thomas said his parents, both founders of the Liberty Group, had been assassinated.Perhaps because they were afraid that the two children would grow up and come back for revenge, the parents' opponents ordered them to be exterminated.

The news was overwhelming, the two children were listed as missing persons, and their photos could be seen on any web page, and Rhea didn't need to ask for confirmation.He has no intention of intervening in the power struggle, but the guy who doesn't even let go of children really doesn't make people like him at all.

The second floor was pitch black, and the mercenaries hiding in the dark were nowhere to be found.Rhea pulled down the goggles and searched for targets with the thermal imaging function.

The white mist released between breaths presents colorful images under the tracking of thermal imaging, and it is clear at a glance where people are hiding.Rhea clasped her fingertips slightly, and the bullet roared out, piercing through the thick wood and hitting the mercenary's neck.

There is one left.

Holding his breath for a moment, he didn't find any heat source in the sniper scope. Reya judged that the other party might have slipped out of the room.It is impossible for the owner to spend a lot of money to hire people to kill/kill people. It is normal to have someone with extraordinary skills.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and there was still nothing in the sniper scope except for the branches shaking in the cold wind.

creak.

Hearing the faint sound of trampling on the snow and being blown by the night wind, Reya's heartbeat suddenly rose, and the conditioned reflex rolled on the spot.Immediately after a "bang" gunshot, the position where he was lying on his stomach was splashed with snow foam more than one meter high by a large-caliber bullet.

——When did this guy touch my back! ?

He drew the gun in the direction of the bullet and released the bolt in one breath. He quickly climbed up and hid himself behind the thick fir tree.

bang bang bang-

Hit as many tree trunks as he could hide in.

Both of them are hidden behind towering trees, and shooting each other in the dark is useless except to consume bullets.Reya popped out the empty magazine and held her breath, waited for a while and then threw the magazine to the bushes not far away to attract the mercenary's attention.

There was no gunfire again, indicating that the opponent had no more bullets.

Pulling out the dagger from the scabbard, he slightly poked his head out from behind the tree trunk and looked in the direction of the bullet, but there was no image of the heat source in the goggles—where did that guy go?

The creaking sound of the wind blowing the branches came, the chill gradually penetrated, and the nerves continued to be tense.A small pile of snow suddenly fell from the branches and fell straight into the back of Rhea's collar.

— on top!

The moment the cold touch came, he instinctively raised the knife to ward off the top-down attack, and the sharp claws of the steel knife suddenly wiped out sparks that shone in the night!

The shocking force forced Reya to jump backwards, quickly opening the distance between them.The goggles automatically adjusted the sight distance, allowing him to see the whole picture of the attacker clearly—the body over two meters tall and burly, the muscles all over his body soared to the point that the fabric of the clothes was almost torn, the hands hanging by the side, the fingers The tip protrudes from the sharp thyroid bone more than ten centimeters long.

The man took off the goggles and threw them aside, squinted his eyes so dark that the whites of them could not be seen, and smiled strangely at Rhea, who was several sizes smaller than himself.

Hold!Rhea held her breath——

Orcs!

Half-orcs are not the product of genetic modification, but like mixed blood, they are the offspring of the combination of humans and orcs.Of course no one wants to do that with orcs, as we all know that half-orcs are basically the product of rape.

The orcs who attack the homeless camps who are full of food and clothing have the same demands after they are full.

So why would anyone want to be born?

Because orc babies can be sold for money on the black market.Half-orcs have the IQ of humans and the physique of orcs, and are extremely sought-after in the mercenary and bodyguard market.For homeless people who have no fixed place to live, selling a little animal in exchange for living expenses for the next few years or even ten years will not disturb their conscience.

Half-orcs usually show people in a human form, and only when necessary will they burst into a beast-like appearance.

For example, right now, when you are dying.

Despite their huge stature, half-orcs are extremely agile in their movements, and they clearly have an advantage over humans in melee combat.The brute force inherited from the orc made the attack extraordinarily ferocious. Once hit, it would hurt the tendons and bones in the slightest, and piercing the chest and abdomen in severe cases.

The coat was scratched several times by the sharp carapace, and Rhea had almost no room to counterattack under the fierce offensive of the orcs.However, his current physical condition will never allow any mistakes, and he must make a quick decision!

The thyroid bone stabbed brazenly, but because of the opponent's dodge, it pierced into the tree trunk.Sensitively capturing this fleeting opportunity, Rhea nailed the sharp claw to the tree trunk with a backhand dagger, then leaped up, and kicked the orc in the face with a roar piercing the night sky.

The half-orc was kicked dizzy, but he still didn't forget to pull out the steel knife in his hand. Immediately afterwards, he felt a tightness in his throat, and his neck was tightly entangled by the steel cable of Flying Tiger Claw.

Rhea raced against time to climb up the tree, and then turned over and jumped down from the fork of the branch, using the momentum of the fall to lift the orc off the ground!The moment he landed, he turned around and raised his feet against the tree trunk, gritted his teeth and desperately grabbed the steel cable that was violently shaken by the orc's struggle.

Time passed slowly in the life-and-death confrontation, and the bark was drawn into deep grooves during the dragging.Finally, the suspended strong body shook for the last time, and stopped struggling and twisting.With the coming of death, all the claws and bulging muscles disappeared, and the half-orc corpse returned to the human state.

After losing his strength and falling down into the snow, Reya relaxed and found that the cold sweat was all over his body, and immediately subconsciously clasped his abdomen with his hands back.The trembling fingers were wrapped in cold, and warmed by the warmth under the palm.

The presence of the little ones is still not obvious. In order to ensure that they are alive, he even went to the clinic a few days ago for the first time.The two little guys who had beaten and fell in Yulis's base had already had a heartbeat. The moment the doctor released the fetal heartbeat, he was suddenly moved irresistibly.

One life for one life might not sound worth it, but what about two lives for one life?Or maybe he'll still have a chance to watch them grow up.

After all, even You Xi's thin physique can survive, so he may not be unable to carry it.

Back at the cabin, Rhea dragged the body into the empty room, cleaned up the scene briefly, and then opened the door to the basement.

He said to the brothers and sisters: "You can't stay here anymore, Thomas, you take your sister to pack, we have to leave soon."

For the savior Reya, the siblings obeyed.Back in the bedroom, Thomas stuffed the travel bag with the necessary daily necessities, and asked Rhea, who was standing guard by the window, "Where are we going?"

Reya turned her head, thought for a while and said, "Send you to a safe place."

The two children were unaccompanied, and his only option was to send them to an orphanage.Certainly not in New Europe, whose faces almost everyone knows.Can be sent to an orphanage in New Asia, at least where no one knows who they are.

But to be honest, he didn't want to go back.Jing Hai must be looking for him everywhere, there are only a few safe areas, and there are surveillance everywhere, it is not easy to hide his whereabouts under the nose of the other party.

Elijah carefully avoided the blood on the floor and leaned against Rhea, grabbed his hand, raised her doll-like face and asked, "Are you going to send us to an orphanage?"

Since being rescued by Rhea from the killer, she has trusted and even relied on him.

Touching her soft golden curly hair, Rhea smiled helplessly: "Yeah, there is no need to live in hiding when we get there."

"But I don't want to leave you." Eliya's eye circles were slightly red, "I want you to be my father."

The softness of the heart was hit by the sound of "Dad", Reya knelt down, wiped away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes with her thumb, and said softly, "Hey, don't cry, your eyes won't be pretty if you cry... It’s like this, I can’t give you a stable living environment right now, I still have a lot of things to do, I’ll pick you up after I settle down, okay?”

"Really?" The girl blinked her icy blue eyes, and flapped her tear-wet eyelashes like angel wings, "But Thomas said, you're going to have your own baby, and you can't raise— "

"Elia!" Thomas interrupted awkwardly.He didn't sneak a peek at Rhea's medical report, but it was on the table, he just wanted to put it in the drawer.

Rhea turned her head and glanced at Thomas, without any intention of blaming, and then said to Eliya: "It has nothing to do with that, little beauty, even if I have my own baby, I am still willing to be your father."

Eliya tilted her head: "Then can I have another mother? Or another father."

Rhea scratched her chin: "Uh... this is a bit difficult."

"No, you are so good-looking, there must be many people pursuing you." The girl's beautiful big eyes were full of admiration.

"……thanks."

The sudden compliment made Rhea feel a little embarrassed, and she turned her head away with a smile.

——I don’t know if the two in my stomach are a boy or a girl, hey, I hope to have a caring little padded jacket.
