Chapter 2357 Encirclement
"Then can you detoxify?" Birch asked hurriedly. Although he didn't like Lenko's style, after Captain Barrow's teachings, he also understood Lenko's importance and irreplaceability. Moreover, their strength was very weak. If they were found, only Lenko could deal with the pursuers.
"Yes, little flea, can you detoxify?" Barrow also hurriedly came up.
The little flea was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Before there is a way to determine the type of poisoning, I can't detoxify him. Moreover, even if I really know the type of toxin, I can't make the antidote without the medicinal materials and experimental tools."
"In other words, Mr. Lenko... is hopeless?"
The little flea looked at the pale Lenko and was silent.
Lenko: "You... you are Little Flea, right? Can I call you Little Flea too? Just tell me the answer directly. If, if I am going to die, at least I still have time to leave a last word."
The Little Flea did not speak, but pondered for a moment, took out the stethoscope he carried with him, leaned on Lenko's chest, and listened carefully to his heartbeat.
After a long while, the Little Flea said: "The sound flowing in the blood vessels is as loud as a torrent. Maybe there is still hope."
Burch's eyes lit up: "Really?"
The Little Flea nodded: "Mr. Lenko's physique is quite strong. Even if it is a toxin, it will take a certain amount of time to completely invade. During this time, if I can find the corresponding toxin, I have a way to prepare an antidote. But..."
At this point, the Little Flea paused, lowered his head and suddenly remained silent.
Burch said anxiously: "Just what?"
Barrow patted Burch on the shoulder: "The little flea means that if you want to save Lenko, you have to find the person who poisoned him, and then you must have the corresponding medical equipment. In other words"
"We have to fight back to Dock No. 1."
Fight back... Burch was stunned. They just escaped from Dock No. 1, and now they have to fight back? How to kill? With only a few of them, and Barrow was injured, and Lenko was poisoned, how to kill?
Barrow obviously knew Burch very well. As soon as he saw his confused expression, he knew what he was thinking.
"There is no way to fight back now. The only way now is to wait...wait for them to leave here, and then quickly return to the Moonlight Bird. There are some medical equipment on the ship. See if we can delay Lenko's injury. Then, we will lead the others to fight back to Dock No. 1!"
Birch: "Is this the only way?"
Barrow nodded: "There is no other way. It is impossible for us to break into Dock No. 1 alone."
Birch: "But, but can we really beat Mandarin?"
Barrow: "We have to fight even if we can't. This is the only way. The most important thing now is not whether we can beat Mandarin, but whether Mr. Lenko can hold on for that long."
Everyone looked at Lenko.
Lenko: "I don't want to die, I will try to hold on..."
Barrow looked at Lenko deeply, and after a long while, he sighed: "You, why did you want to follow us today? If you didn't come..."
Burch said: "If Mr. Lenko didn't come, we would be the ones to die."
"Thanks to Mr. Lenko this time, I didn't expect the people on the Broken Blood to be so insidious and actually use poison." Burch's face showed anger.
Just before, they ran to see the woman, but they were accidentally discovered. Fifty to sixty percent of the people on the Broken Blood came out. At that time, only Burch and Barrow were surrounded by the people on the Broken Blood. Burch was almost scared to death at that time, thinking that he would definitely die here today. At this critical moment of life and death, Lenko descended from the sky and directly fought against a hundred people and rescued them.
Originally thought that they could escape without worry, but they didn't expect such an accident.
Lenko turned to look at Burch: "If you are grateful to me, remember what I will say next..."
Burch was stunned: "Ah?"
Lenko's pale lips curled slightly: "Last words."
"If I die, I hope you can remember my words and help me do something. If I am not dead, that's another story."
Without waiting for Burch's consent, Lenko began to speak his last words in a trembling and slight voice.
Lenko's last words did not contain any exciting content. He simply told about his life and his dream that might die before it was realized. In the end, his request to Burch was also very simple: if Burch had the opportunity to leave Ghost Dock Island, he would pass the news of his death to his distant family.
Everyone heard Lenko's last words, and no one spoke.
The air was also very heavy, and it was not known whether it was because the air flow inside the stone was blocked or because everyone was depressed.
At this time, Lenko smiled and turned to look at Barrow: "Captain Barrow, I haven't asked you yet, why did you come to Dock No. 1 this time?"
It doesn't matter whether Lenko knows the answer or not. The reason why he asked was just to ease the atmosphere.
"To see the woman." Birch lowered his head and blamed himself: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have instigated the captain."
Lenko: "Is it the woman that the captain carried on his back before? Oh, I was very curious just now. Who is this woman? The captain seems to be very special to her?"
Birch and Little Flea also looked over. Just now, at such an urgent time, they wanted Captain Barrow to give up this woman, but Barrow refused without hesitation. It can be seen that he must have abnormal feelings for this woman.
Barrow's throat moved: "You'd better shut up now and stop talking, lest the venom invades faster."
On Lenko's pale face, there was a smile that was almost the same as usual: "Even if it means death, let me die with some understanding, right?"
Barrow was silent for a moment, sighed, and nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll tell you who she is."
Barrow turned to look at the unconscious woman behind him, with a trace of fanaticism and admiration inadvertently flashing in his eyes: "You all know that I was a pirate before joining the Moonlight Turing. But you may not know that I Why become a pirate?"
Birch asked enthusiastically: "Why?"
Barrow: "Just because I wanted to follow her. Not only did I become a pirate because of her, I also left the pirates because of her."
The little flea also began to be curious about the identity of this woman: "Who is she?"
Barrow: "You may have heard her name. She is the uncrowned king of the Blackberry Sea, Asbel."
"Asbelu?" Lenko chewed the name, "I feel like I've heard it somewhere."
The little flea thought for a moment: "I seem to have heard of it, but I can't remember it."
Asbel, Asbel.
Barrow: "She is the pirate king I admire the most, and she is also my spiritual belief, so I will not abandon her no matter what..."
Barrow was only halfway speaking when the ground suddenly began to rise and fall.
Everyone's thoughts were immediately withdrawn. Little Flea gestured "Shhh" and said softly: "Stop talking, it seems they are chasing me."
"As long as we stay quiet, they shouldn't notice anything."
Everyone nodded and fell silent.
The air instantly became quiet, and the only thing that could be heard was their pounding heartbeats.
The footsteps outside were coming and going, and to the people hiding in the stone cave, the few seconds seemed to have been stretched countless times.
It won't be discovered, for sure. Birch clasped his hands together in a prayer gesture.
Not only Birch, but others were also praying secretly.
They have dealt with all the traces on the outside, and even the blood stains have disappeared with the water, so there must be no problem. So they thought.
What happened was exactly as they thought. Some footsteps came to the edge of the stone, but in the end they found nothing unusual and gradually faded away.
"There aren't any around here. They must be inside. Let's continue searching!" someone shouted.
Along with a response, they could clearly hear that the vibrations on the ground began to move away and the footsteps became smaller.
It seemed that he had escaped this time.
Everyone looked at each other with a look of joy as they survived the disaster.
However, it was too early for them to be happy. Just when the footsteps were about to go away, a voice suddenly remembered: "It's the deputy team? Why are you here? I just heard a noise and fire over there at No. 1 Dockyard. What happened?" What?"
"That's right, it turns out you are looking for them. Haha, I know where they are."
When the voice said these words, doubts flashed in the eyes of everyone in the stone cave. Who is this speaker?
At this time, Barrow seemed to think of something and whispered: "It seems to be half an ear."
He had deceived half of his ear into the woods before, and then sneaked into the dock. Unexpectedly, Half Ear appeared nearby at this time.
Why did he say that he knew where everyone was? Could it be that he saw something?
When everyone was suspicious, footsteps sounded again and got closer and closer: "When I was wandering in the woods just now, I happened to see them getting into the rocks. By the way, the leader was Little Flea, our ship's doctor. ”
The moment the words fell, there were a lot of doubts outside. But everyone inside the stone looked pale.
What Half Ear said is true!
He actually found their traces!
Barrow's face was particularly pale, because he was the one who deceived the half-ear into the woods in the first place. The cause and effect were reversed, and in the end the half-ear became the thatch that crushed them.
"What should I do?" Birch was so frightened that he almost shed tears, especially when he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, as if the God of Death was inviting him to die with a life-threatening scythe.
Little Flea's expression was also ugly. Although he had already betrayed the Mandarin, he never thought that at this moment he would directly face the people of the Po Xue as a traitor.
He was very aware of the Mandarin's methods of dealing with traitors.
For a moment, Barrow fell into self-blame, Birch and Little Flea were scared out of their wits, but Lenko's expression did not change. He already regarded himself as a dying person.
Looking at the others, Lenko sighed softly and forced himself to sit up: "When I was in the Knight Academy, I learned a secret method that can block all pain, burn one's will, and instantly achieve personal strength. The pinnacle of.”
"So, leave the rest to me. You just need to escape."
Barrow looked at Lenko in confusion: "Miko nodded, took out his sword, pried open the hilt, and took out a red pill from inside.
"That's it. This is the medicine that unlocks the secret technique. As long as I take it, I should be able to resist for a few minutes and buy you time to escape."
Barrow: "Since it is a secret method, are there any side effects?"
Lenko avoided the serious issue and said: "To me, any side effects don't matter."
At this time, the little flea on the other side took the red pill, sniffed the pungent smell of the air, and frowned slightly: "I seem to have heard of this medicine."
"This is a poisonous product... I have heard that it contains a strong poison, but after taking it, you will become very excited, just like going crazy. But after the effect ends, you will definitely die." Little flea: "This is an absolute banned drug in our industry."
Barrow: "Is this true?"
Renko didn't expect the little flea to recognize the source of the medicine. Since he was recognized, he didn't hide it and nodded:
"The little flea is right. It is both a magical medicine that burns will and a poison that consumes consciousness. If I use it, I basically have no chance of survival."
"However, even if I don't use it, the possibility of my survival is very small. If you use it, at least you have a chance to survive."
Renko looked at everyone: "My last words are all given to you, and I am still waiting for you to help me bring back the news of my death, so you can't die."
When everyone wanted to say something, they saw a turbulence and the stones above their heads were lifted up.
The light of the torch shone in.
"Hahahaha, I found you, little bugs!"
Accompanied by bursts of laughter and various malicious words, everyone was exposed.
Facing the layers of pursuers around, everyone except Lenko was scared. Burch even felt a little wet between his buttocks.
What to do, what to do? Burch looked around helplessly, and finally could only look at Lenko.
"Lenko, it's not good to be poisoned, right? Hehe, if you weren't poisoned, we really didn't dare to chase you, but who told you to be careless?"
"Mandarin has ordered to kill them all!"
"Oh, right. Don't move that woman, take her back. And don't kill the little flea, let Mandarin teach him what it means to be worse than death."
In the noise full of evil thoughts, the large army approached step by step.
The people who huddled in the stone flashed despair in their eyes.
Seeing this scene, the jokes around were even louder.
In order to make them more afraid, the troops even slowed down their pace, just to create stronger psychological pressure.
At this time, Lenko sighed softly.
He stood up with his sword on the ground.
"Your opponent is me."
Looking at Lenko, who was trembling and had difficulty standing up, there was a burst of laughter around.
Lenko didn't care about these voices. He turned his head and whispered to Birch and others: "You must stay alive. Leave this ghost island alive."
The moment the voice fell, Lenko picked up the pill and swallowed it.
Two seconds later, Lenko's eyes turned red, and his skin began to turn red and sweat.
An unparalleled violent momentum emanated from Lenko.
At this time, everyone was stunned. It seemed that they were no longer facing a sick person, but a beast from ancient times!
Lenko took a deep breath, controlled the power surging in his body, dragged the knight's rapier, and walked forward step by step.
The momentum was building up, and when it reached its peak, Lenko was like a proud lone wolf, holding his head high and charging into the Blood Breaker's team of nearly a hundred people...
