He saw a familiar look in the other person's eyes again, a willingness to sacrifice, just like the war that day, when villagers rushed to the battlefield to die, everyone rushed forward enthusiastically, no one retreated, everyone's eyes were filled with determination and belief in sacrifice, and he could only watch, even, all the victims were chosen by him personally.

After that day, he had more nightmares than in all the previous ones combined. Even though he was used to seeing blood and had taken countless lives, whenever he thought of that scene, there would still be a little person in his heart crying and shouting in confusion.

Don't sacrifice, don't die.

But he has no conditions or qualifications to say this.

Because he could neither stop nor save them, if he stopped these people, it would only result in greater sacrifice.

There is no such thing as a peaceful life, it's just that there are always people carrying the burden for you. In war, there are always countless sacrifices. They stubbornly face the enemy and show their vulnerable backs to their friends, but none of them retreats, using their lives to exchange for a glimmer of hope for others.

But now it's different, he can do something.

So the doctor grabbed ACE without hesitation and shook his head.

"No, you shouldn't die here. You must survive. Everyone here must survive!"

123 Sunflower Ginseng

[The nameless person nailed in the coffin: We are surrounded here, I hope everyone can go back alive, so please help me if you are free in the group, I beg you.

Mission points: 2000

Do you want to accept it?】

The ghost who was dozing off and lying comfortably in the chair just now straightened up immediately and decisively clicked to accept the call.

No matter how many points it has, it cannot fill this bottomless pit, especially since it has just resurrected a few important guys and repaired Dirtmouth by the way, which resulted in it having no points left.

Tony Stark didn't hesitate, and was even too lazy to explain to those guys. He just greeted Jarvis alone and let everyone who came to see him know that he was away for a while and not to bother him unless necessary.

Steve hesitated for a while, but decided not to join in the fun. The place where the villagers had originally mined underground minerals had already completely collapsed, and there were very few survivors. This not only meant a shortage of resources, but also meant that the monsters had broken through the front-line defenses and could endanger the main city at any time. At this critical juncture, he had no way to withdraw and could only choose to give up with regret.

Wilson still couldn't leave.

After Cell's last experience, he felt that this mission was a trap. How could he possibly jump into it?

Kong hesitated for a moment, looked at the nearby city, apologized to Paimon, and prepared to come over to help.

A lazy skeleton also clicked the OK button. After all, he owed a debt. The world on earth was not as smooth as he had imagined. In particular, the crimes they had committed and the human beings they had killed had become bloody facts weighing on their heads. So he was also urgently looking for a way to break the deadlock. When necessary, absolute force could be a good choice.

Papyrus was far too naive and trusting;

Tony Stark was shocked by the scene as soon as he arrived. Some young girls who looked small but had animal ears were covered in blood and dust, standing on the battlefield with determination on their faces.

And the one confronting them was also a young girl, her body covered in blood and full of murderous intent.

"...it's a fucked up world."

Tony Stark couldn't help but curse out loud. He suddenly understood what his friend had done. This world was completely rotten. Forcing a girl who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen to learn how to wield a weapon? How to kill? How to show no mercy?

To be honest, he really wanted to take all the girls off the battlefield as soon as possible and tell them that they should not waste their best years of youth in fighting, but he restrained himself in the end.

Perhaps it's because I've seen so much messy stuff that my ability to accept has improved, and I won't be so foolish as to say something indifferent like "You shouldn't be fighting here."

Because he knew that this would not change anything, and he might not even be able to stop the fight. The flames surging from the other party were no joke, and they did not look like humans.

He really wanted to ask the guy who called himself a doctor what terrible things had happened in this world that forced everyone to take up arms and either kill or die.

When the little knight came, the situation was much calmer. Its world was not prosperous, and was even in complete decline. Its appearance was just a defective product eliminated in the cruel selection to achieve its goal. It was used to cruel things and did not have much empathy.

When Shan Si appeared, he was hiding in the shadows, ready to attack at any time. In the fight for the positions of both sides, he would not judge what was right or wrong. He would only choose whether to attack based on his own side.

Kong was also shocked, so much so that his sword-holding hand was shaking. There were ruins everywhere, scattered blood, and fallen corpses. He had never experienced a cruel world, so it was hard for him not to be frightened by such a shocking scene.

But Sora took a deep breath and quickly steeled his resolve.

"Doctor, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation." Doberman looked at this group of people who came out of nowhere and their appearance that was obviously inconsistent with what he had seen and heard before, and cast his gaze at the doctor.

"friend."

He coughed, gave a brief explanation, and said nothing more.

For a moment, Amiya and her group fell into a strange state of contemplation. After all, they had personally dug the doctor out of the coffin, and the coffin showed no signs of being tampered with. Or perhaps those guys had some strange magic? Could they summon something out of thin air? If so, it would probably explain the doctor's appearance.

Bullshit, there’s no way it can be explained!

The last one to arrive was an orange sunflower, which bounced around and was particularly conspicuous on the battlefield.

This is probably the new member who joined the group. After all, the photo was posted at that time, and everyone took a look at it, so they still have some impression of him. I don’t know why he didn’t speak in the group. When I was given a task, he took it up without a word. However, seeing his weak appearance, except for Sans, everyone else was more or less worried.

At this time, the sunflower was lost in thought. It had been instilled with complete information when it joined the chat group. The purpose of joining was purely to find a better home. Anyway, it had already tried it, and its sunlight could be used to fill the points. As long as it made a few more copies, the sunlight would not be insufficient.

Over there, Talulah was surprised by the reinforcements that appeared out of nowhere, but this did not prevent her from commanding the Integration Movement army in an orderly manner. She should have rushed to the front line as soon as possible, but the small child who looked like a mascot gave her a very dangerous feeling, and this overly strong sense of vigilance prompted her to decide to be steady and test it out first.

Then she saw the funny creature that looked very much like a sunflower throw out ten green seeds, which landed in front of Amiya and her group. Then the seeds grew at an incredible speed and became plants of strange shapes.

Summoning assistance?

The scattered members of the Integration Movement looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. In fact, not only the Integration Movement, but also the members in the chat group were quite confused. They had not seen the methods of the new group members yet, so they were naturally extremely curious.

Then I saw the plants squirming and spewing out huge green beans like cannonballs from their mouths.

Those huge green beans hit the Integration Movement and made them stagger. A few more hits would have knocked them down. However, the opponent soon counterattacked. The archers immediately adjusted their targets and aimed at those strange plants, but only hit them once or twice. The sunflower threw out some other seeds, and brown round wall-like plants grew out of them, forming a row. No matter whether they were arrows or spells, they were all blocked.

Such a ridiculous scene and the cruel battlefield inexplicably created an unreal sense of separation, so much so that everyone in the chat group subconsciously stopped and looked around with curious eyes.

124 Grimm and Tallulah, a Clash of Flames

The newcomer's methods were endless, and the little knight was trembling with sleep. Although Amiya was quite wary of the other two tall men standing next to him, after all, their appearance was so out of place and their body proportions were not like those of humans, making it difficult for people to establish initial trust.

But when facing guys as young as children, one will always have some empathy, especially since the doctor said those people are friends.

So Amiya ignored Dubin's dissuasion and insisted on walking over, looking at the sleepy little guy with some worry.

Green originally wanted to stop her, but he was stopped by Chunchun. Chunchun did not sense any malice, so he naturally acquiesced.

It also doesn't like blind interference. It cannot make decisions on behalf of the other party if the god does not respond.

She actually wanted to look directly into the other person's eyes, because looking down at people can easily put pressure on them, especially children. However, the other person was probably too drowsy and kept his head down, so she couldn't find an opportunity.

Amiya squatted down and asked gently, "Little one, if you are too sleepy, go and rest first. We will protect you."

When Green heard this, he almost laughed out loud. It seemed like this was the second time he heard those arrogant females boasting about protecting his father without considering their own weight. If his father had not insisted on coming here to rescue them, it would be unknown how many of these people could survive.

When the little knight heard the human language, he subconsciously stood up straight, patted his chest with his short hands, and tried to prove that there was nothing wrong with him.

Such a cute look naturally almost made Amiya burst out laughing, but now they were on the battlefield, and too much complicated pressure was pressing on Amiya's shoulders, making it too difficult for this girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old to even muster a false comforting laugh.

But she didn't sigh either. She swallowed all the sighs in her stomach. This world was already bitter enough, and she didn't want to and couldn't bring her sighs to more people. Depression is contagious, but so is a smile.

So she cheered herself up and smiled gently.

This war seemed to be an extraordinarily child's play. Various plants, some explosive, some extremely strong, some shooting green beans, appeared on the bloody battlefield. If those who were hit by the green beans were not really dead, or even ripped open and torn to pieces, this scene would probably be just amusing to outsiders.

But as long as there is blood and death, no matter what form the war takes, it will be cruel and outrageous.

Perhaps the sacrifices were too many and completely exceeded expectations. Talulah could no longer hold back. Raging flames burned on her sword, but before she could take two steps forward, she was stopped by a red figure. She looked up and saw the creature standing behind the guy who made her feel physically terrified from the bottom of her heart. The other party held a scepter burning with scarlet flames in his hand, with huge red pupils and a cunning smile. No matter how you looked at it, it made people's spines inexplicably cold.

So she stopped again cautiously, ready to clean up the thing in front of her that could not be called a human.

It was Green who stood in front of Tallulah. In his hand was a scepter made up of flame elements. It was a gift from the leader and one of Nightmare's last legacies. However, the flame was too huge and he could not digest it for the time being, so he could only condense it into concrete objects and control and use it in other ways.

"Agent of Fire, I have seen the flames bursting and burning on your sword, and I can smell the smell of gunpowder."

A faint, pure black flame emerged from the cracks between Green's lips and teeth, making him look like a cunning demon that had sneaked into the human world.

"You shouldn't be standing in my way."

Everything began to twist and melt, the air was so hot that it could burn through a person's lungs. The opponent really began to release his spell, but this change was quickly stopped, and all the heat was trapped in the small space where Green and Tallulah were confronting each other.

"There's nothing wrong with that. I just want to dance with you, sir."

He snapped his fingers, and the black flames burned obediently at his fingertips. "After all, I'm very interested in you—"

"I have no interest in you."

As soon as the words fell, the raging flames immediately engulfed the place where Green was standing, but Tallulah only became more alert because the flames did not engulf anything. Sure enough, that frivolous and disgusting voice sounded again.

"This is just a friendly invitation. It's inappropriate to take advantage of someone's unpreparedness and launch a surprise attack."

Talulah listened to what was said, but before she could do anything, she felt a completely different kind of heat under her feet. She retreated quickly without any hesitation and narrowly escaped the pure black flames.

After watching the other party's awkward dodge, Green just chuckled and added the last sentence of this paragraph, which sounded particularly ironic.

"——So we should always reciprocate."

However, this relief did not last long. The flames expanded with Tallulah as the center, like a round sharp arc knife, cutting in all directions at a speed that Green could not have imagined. Everything it touched was broken and split in half, and Green had half of his cloak cut off when he was caught off guard. This scene looked a bit funny when viewed up close.

Green's face darkened, he stopped smiling and began to reassess his opponent.

As for Tony Stark, he was no longer there. Seeing that there was no problem here and Ghost was there, it was highly likely that nothing would happen. Instead of helping out with some unnecessary tasks here and there, he might as well go and save some people. While he was doing this, he also kidnapped Kong. As for Sans, Tony Stark was afraid that he would finally rescue him, but he would be scared to death by his group mates. That would be too tragic.

But the other party was also happy to be free, with his hands in his pockets, just watching from afar. If there was nothing else, he might just find a comfortable place to lean on.

After setting up a watertight defense line, the sunflower jumped and stood next to the operators. The little knight over there turned his head at the right time, compared his height in his mind, and then continued to lower his head dejectedly.

Amiya also noticed this little action, and subconsciously wanted to rub the other person's head, but perhaps the look of staring was too intense, so Amiya withdrew her hand awkwardly, looked at the doctor, then at the plants, and then at everyone who was intact, and she no longer had the heart to question him.

It’s good to be alive, it’s good to be alive.

125 The Cruelty of War

"Hold on, hold on a little longer."

With the help of the life-searching device on his armor, Tony Stark dug out many survivors from the ruins. Logically, this should have nothing to do with the mission, but he claimed to be a hero, so naturally he had to do something. Besides, he was not confused about the priorities. The situation over there seemed to have stabilized, so he might as well do something else.

Tony Stark held the blood-stained hand of the young man and shook it lightly.

He was afraid that if he used a little too much force, the other person would die, and he was also afraid that if he didn't shake him, the other person would fall asleep and never wake up.

The other party barely opened his only remaining eye, gasped for breath, looked at Tony Stark, tried to open his mouth, and all the blood leaked out.

He clung tightly to Tony Stark's armor, leaving his own blood-stained finger marks among the numerous bloodstains. His only remaining eye was filled with the desire to live, but the hand that was holding him tightly loosened quickly.

This seemingly half-grown boy died.

Perhaps it was because his injuries were too severe that he had been holding on, but when the rescue came, he relaxed and couldn't hold on at all. However, his eyes were still open, wide open, but he had lost some desire to live.

Tony Stark placed the dead man on the ruins without any hesitation and walked in the next direction without stopping.

Perhaps this was disrespectful to the corpse, perhaps this was too disrespectful to life, but there were still living people waiting for him to save, so he could only say sorry and dared not rest for a moment.

He remembered a woman in the ruins who was almost curled up into a ball. Every inch of her body was almost crushed by the rubble on top of her, but she still bent her body stubbornly and firmly, hanging on to her last breath. When she saw the light of day again, she didn't say a word and couldn't even lift her hands. She just kept trying to move her body to the side, but her bones had been broken one by one, keeping her in this twisted and bent posture, unable to move.

She didn't finish it until she died, and Tony Stark saw the girl suffocated to death due to lack of oxygen in her arms. There was only one life signal point from beginning to end. When he spent 15 minutes rushing here from the previous point, there was only one life signal here.

Then there was a soldier with a broken leg. When he was being taken away, he still had the strength to struggle, saying that this was his hometown and that he had a wife and children and he could not leave first.

Tony Stark did not dare to tell the other party that the city had been almost destroyed and that his wife and children would most likely not survive. He was afraid that the other party would die the moment he told the truth. He could only tell the other party a symbolic lie, telling the other party that someone was waiting for him. The other party believed it and fought hard to hold on and receive treatment from Rhodes Island.

He also saw an incomprehensible scene. Those solemn girls were clearly saving lives, but the people being saved showed no gratitude. They even hysterically told them to get out, calling them monsters, beasts, and inhumane.

Tony Stark never indulges people, and he is not a pedantic old-fashioned person. It is normal for him to use some means to achieve his goals. What's more, the man was really noisy, so he just knocked him out. At least the man is alive.

As for throwing him back, he couldn't bring himself to do something petty. He'd encountered idiots like that before him in his career as a superhero. So what could he do? The people above were fabricating false information to incite hatred, while the people below were just trying to survive.

It looks hateful and pitiful. They have no self-judgment ability and just go with the flow to avoid being eliminated. They are afraid that they will fall into the squeezed team, or even just to survive.

There is no point in hating such people. In some cases, such people are just victims. They are unable to save their own things, cannot save their families, and dare not seek justice. They can only vent their resentment on others or vent it on people who are not as good as them. How stupid it is.

What's more, those girls didn't seem to care. They seemed to have become accustomed to such abuse and even took such definitions for granted.

Every time Tony Stark saved someone, he felt more powerless about this distorted status quo. It seemed that this world was completely hopeless. It was even more cruel than the world he lived in, so cruel that it seemed that no good people had any chance of survival.

It is not so convenient to rescue Kong, after all, he can only glide and not fly, but he also got a life search and rescue device from Tony Stark, so at least he can find living people.

However, he still had some fondness for the other party's cool armor. Perhaps Tony Stark saw the envy in the other party's eyes and generously said that he would bring him one next time.

By the way, the special armor he customized for Ghost had been delivered to the other party a long time ago, but Ghost never used it. Perhaps the other party was a knight who insisted on purity and did not like to use these fancy things.

The ghost who occasionally uses the summoning flow to skip classes feels as if he is being talked about by someone.

Kong used the wind to blow away the collapsed buildings, so there was no need to worry about hurting anyone. Although Tony Stark had always found it difficult to understand why their attacks did not affect each other, just like the friendly units in the game would not be harmed, but who cares.

It's easy to use.
