Chapter 209 The Origin of the Refugees

"... So sir, you said you followed orders to take us to the city?"

Bai Er nodded and said, "Yes."

The one who saved everyone from the devil's control was just an ordinary soldier in the barracks?

But the person who dared to fight the devil head-on and was full of leadership glory was just an ordinary soldier?

An officer who made a mistake in the past and was demoted? Or was he just dormant temporarily?

But in any case, it is always good news that a city is willing to send people to take them in.

The elder is old and knowledgeable, but he has only lived in the same wilderness oasis all his life.

Heard that there is a city, but has never really come into contact with it.

After being squeezed out of the oasis, they had already lost confidence in their compatriots. At this time, they heard that they could live in the city and felt hesitant and excited.

"Sir...sir, what does the city look like?" The more proactive boy asked with a pair of shining eyes, somewhat expectantly.

"City..." Bai'e looked blankly. He didn't know what the city looked like, but with the protection of the military camp outside the city, the people inside should live more safely and comfortably, right?

"The city is a home surrounded by steel."

"What about you, sir?" The girl also spoke on the side, staring at Bai'e's face with a pair of clear eyes, and asked hopefully.

"Me?" Bai'e smiled at her, "I am a soldier and live in the military camp outside the city."

The girl's eyes lit up immediately, "Can I go to the military camp?"

"The military camp is a place for fighting, you should live well."

Bai'e didn't know about other places, but at least in Blackwater City, based on the information he knew so far -

With the consumption of artificial people, the pressure of recruiting soldiers from natural people is not that great.

Even if Jirolan enters the military camp, he will probably learn how to become a qualified nurse like Mashati he met before.

But if it is not necessary, there is no need to join the army.

Bai E just smiled and explained, "But it will be your own choice. I just received an order to take you back. Maybe after you get to the city, you will find a more interesting life waiting for you."

"So we can join the military camp, right?" The girl seemed a little persistent.

Bai E helplessly spread his hands, "If you take the initiative to apply, it should be possible, but it's not my business."

The girl who got the answer stopped asking, "I know, sir..."

"What about you..." After calming the other party's emotions, Bai E talked about his business, "Where are you from, how many people are there?"

These are related to the judgment of the background of these refugees and the planning of transfer work.

"We are from Jinshuizhou Town..." The elder whispered about the origin of his group.

Simple resource issues.

The oasis in the wilderness can only support a limited population. As the population becomes more bloated, the survival of the fittest will inevitably filter out the weak.

The group of people in front of them are the ones who were filtered out.

Whether the process is good or not, it's all in the past. Fortunately, people are not dead yet... The end.

"When we set out, we had 631 people, but now there are only 417." As he spoke, the elder looked back at the corpse that was sucked by the demon and excluded him.

"More than 400 people..." Bai'e pondered slightly, and the number of intelligence he got at the beginning was almost doubled.

However, as long as these people are willing to cooperate, there is no essential difference in the difficulty of migrating more than 200 people and more than 400 people.

"Zizizi~"

After getting a general understanding, Bai'e heard the voice of his teammates from the headset. Hu's firm voice seemed to have regained strength, "Bai'e, how are you doing?"

While waiting to slowly recover their ability to move, they who stayed in the car had already analyzed the current situation rationally.

For rationality, they needed to send someone back to the barracks to report the situation here.

A demon invaded the real world, which was a big deal, and only the professionals of the Heretic Arbitration Office could handle it.

And out of emotion, they didn't want to see the Bai'e brothers fighting alone.

Especially after the real-time picture in the crypt was shared by the demon, their hearts were even pulled.

It was just that the Bai'e brothers seemed to have discovered the weakness of the demons and launched a fierce resistance, and the subsequent events were out of their observation.

The demons that needed more power took the initiative to stimulate the seeds of fear in their hearts, so that their consciousness fell into a haze.

The picture shared by the demons in their minds ended unconsciously during their efforts to fight against the void and darkness. When they wanted to recall, they found that their consciousness was blurred in the confrontation and fear, let alone remembering all the details clearly.

Only the trust in a certain name was deeply rooted in their hearts--

Bai'e.

When calling this name in despair, it seemed that they could really get warm salvation.

So after everyone woke up from the terrifying illusion in their minds again, Hu contacted Bai'e as soon as possible.

"My side?" Bai'e looked at the refugees who were gradually regaining their sanity. He looked at them cuddling together in the dark to heal the scars in their hearts. He smiled and replied, "Everything is fine."

"Okay!" Hu's voice was excited, "We'll go in right away."

"By the way..." Bai'e remembered something and reminded him, "Bring some food in."

"Okay."

After hanging up the voice, Hu looked at the other soldiers around him excitedly, "He's fine over there."

Everyone's situation is basically the same, and the scenes shared by the demons only stay when Bai E is fighting alone.

Then the turbulent emotions that were not their own came up forcefully and tried to overwhelm them. Although everyone who was alert in their hearts tried their best to resist, they also vaguely lost their observation of the shared scene at some point.

After coming back to his senses, the scene shared by the devil had ended.

"It seems that Bai E drove away the devil?"

"It's... amazing."

Captain No. 2 looked at Tiger with a face full of shame and said, "Thanks to Bai E in your team this time, otherwise we would have been stuck here again."

The soldier in the corner buried his face and did not dare to see anyone. "On the way here, I told him that he could call me when he was in danger..."

It's true that Brother Bai'er was right to be careful before setting off. However, it's a pity that even if you maintain enough caution, it seems to be absolutely useless in this place.

There were no sudden attacks or external threats.

The real danger comes from within.

The Tiger Squad has not separated, but each member's heart has still become an island.

Except Bai E...

It is said that this brother performed well when the Zerg lair faced the master's psychic field at that time, but they were in the reserve echelon at the time and could not feel the gold content of saving more than 400 people.

Now it seems that if the spiritual field of the Zerg master at that time could have the intensity they feel now, then Bai E who achieved that record would be simply unimaginable.

"What now? Shall we go in?" Some soldiers asked calmly, "He may not have really driven away the devil. Didn't the missing scouts also become the minions of the devil? Now his words may also be A trap set under the guidance of the devil, trying to trick us all back."

Facing an enemy they don't understand, like the devil, any idea of ​​how to deal with it will extend to the most extreme direction.

"I think it's unlikely." Song Ying glanced at the warrior who spoke, "Bai E has never disappointed anyone, and he will never become a minion of the devil."

"But even everyone present couldn't avoid the demon's attack. Why should he? It's hard for me not to believe that this is a trap of the demon."

"Don't forget that he saved us."

"I can wake up on my own without him saving me." He recovered the fastest among all the soldiers left in the car, which was why he felt confident that he was no worse than anyone else.

His teammate tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered, "If it was a trap from the beginning, then there would be no need for Bai E to rescue us all from the crypt."

The questioning warrior looked at his teammates seriously, "You have to know that even on the Zerg battlefield, he is not the only one who can enter and exit the frontal battlefield. But right now, he is the only one who can resist the mental corrosion of the devil. , don’t you have any doubt?”

The driver in charge of driving in the team said hesitantly, "I tried it that time on the Zerg battlefield..."

"That's because you can't do it." The questioning soldier's eyebrows were calm, "I don't mean to target anyone, but when we are performing tasks outside, we must always be as cautious as possible."

"..."

Everyone present is also an elite.

Every elite is proud.

If they can't resist, it's hard to believe that there are other people who can easily resist or even resist.

It doesn't sound good to question the warrior, but it actually makes some sense.

"How about leaving some people in the car?"

Captain No. 1 nodded, "Okay... let's do this. Carrigan, you and Tiger's two teams will bring some food to the refugees as he said."

"good."

"no problem."

The two captains readily agreed.

…

In the crypt, the five scouts who had disappeared earlier also woke up from their bad state. Bai E specifically asked the elder to call them over.

He wanted to learn more about them.

But right now...these former elite warriors don't seem to be in a good mental state.

Bai E's eyes swept over the dilapidated grayness on their faces.

They were more elite than the refugees, but it was probably because of this that they suffered more targeted attacks from the demons.

"The two photos you have were left by me, but I actually regretted it after leaving those messages." One of the soldiers confided regretfully. He was the first batch of scouts to come here.

Unlike those ordinary refugees, they had been trapped in the fear of demons for a long time and their previous beliefs were completely destroyed.

Even after the demons have been expelled, their mental state cannot return to the high-spirited and full state of the past.

"Similar to your experience, after I woke up from the illusion and escaped from the cave, I felt like a piece of my heart had fallen down here, and I wanted to pick it back up..."

As he spoke, the warrior's eyes turned red for a moment, and he suddenly lowered his head to cover his eyes. Choking sounds escaped from his palms, "But I... I didn't expect that it would turn out like this."

He felt that he was probably useless.

Even after most of the refugees bravely took the first step of resistance, he still could not escape the control of the devil.

If the demon whose strength had not fallen to a certain level was not directly expelled back to the high-dimensional space by Bai E, he might still be a pawn in the hands of the demon.

"It's all over." Bai E was helpless about this and could only reluctantly comfort him, "It's all over. Actually..."

Bai'e looked at the mental state of the scouts in front of him, and asked, "I want to know how you felt during the whole process of being controlled by the devil?"

Although it might be quite torturous to let them recall those unbearable past events, in order to learn more information, Bai'e had to take the initiative to reveal their scars.

And some questions must be asked before the teammates arrive, after all, it involves the exorcism essential oil he uses, and the origin of this thing... is not easy to explain.
