Tragedy...
This is not the world after the nuclear explosion; this is the world after the reboot.
Those dead monsters, they've crawled back from hell.
The Beast of a Thousand Throats.
As the strongest of the three-tier individuals, he appears to ordinary people as a man with a severe hunchback.
Moreover, he was only wearing pants and no shirt on his upper body.
But to the White Walkers, he was still an upright, red-haired, gnoll-like creature.
Thousand Throat licked its paws, then revealed a row of fangs. "I suggest you don't run away, because I won't be able to resist chasing you to the ends of the earth!"
Strike first, strike hard!
As soon as the White Walker stomped his foot on the ground, countless Chaos Splitter soldiers raised their guns and aimed at him.
"Shot!"
A barrage of bullets rained down, but the White Walker's hand flew out of its way and all the bullets were frozen in place!
Upon seeing this, the Beast of a Thousand Throats leaped up and pounced directly at the White Walkers!
The White Walker reacted quickly, turning his greatsword to block it in front of him!
Thousandthroat's claws collided with the greatsword, and the powerful force sent the White Walker flying!
But the White Walker turned and adjusted his position in mid-air, and a huge wall of ice appeared on one side of him. He stepped on the wall and charged forward at the same time!
Seeing that he was advancing instead of running, Qianhou lunged forward and the two met at a single point, when a cold current suddenly struck!
Click!
Thousand Throat's enormous body was instantly frozen!
Just as the rest of them were about to move, they were all frozen by the White Walkers' chilling aura!
This freezing is not just freezing, but more like a freeze in time.
But it can only last for a maximum of 30 minutes.
The White Walkers seized the opportunity and immediately dashed away with the two behind them!
Half an hour later.
The I Ching emerged from its ice-bound state, but the Sword Forger escaped even earlier.
The two exchanged a glance. "Actually, you were able to stop him just now."
"I didn't react in time. After all, I'm getting on in years, so my reaction time is definitely not as good as that of a young person."
"Haha, same as above."
The two of them spoke with a tacit understanding.
The excuse that they're too old to react is simply that they haven't thought to make a move yet.
After all, the White Walkers were their teammates who fought alongside them before, so why go so far as to exterminate them?
Of course, it wasn't just them; others also held back to some extent.
But this move clearly displeased 009.
How could so many people fail to hold back a single White Walker?
Without a doubt, these guys were holding back.
But 009 wouldn't give up so easily. "Let's go, keep chasing."
"His ability can only last for 30 minutes. I don't think he can run very far in 30 minutes. I'll see if he can still run then."
009 was clearly implying something; his subtext was, "Let's see who among you will actually put in the effort."
In fact, just as 009 had predicted, the White Walkers didn't get too far.
009 quickly caught up with the three!
Faced with 009's renewed attack, the White Walkers no longer possessed the ability to freeze.
He told the old man and the girl to run first, while he stayed behind with his greatsword.
He could also tell that some people didn't want to make things difficult for him.
Similarly, if he stays, those people should let the old man and his group go.
"Why aren't you running anymore, White Walkers? Are you planning to fight a desperate battle like Han Xin, or are you playing the role of a gecko shedding its tail?"
The White Walker, wielding his greatsword, sneered, "I've been running the whole time, and you've been chasing me the whole time. What a pointless conversation that is!"
"Xiang Yu was defeated, and Liu Bang told him to flee, but he was too ashamed to face the elders of Jiangdong and committed suicide at the Wujiang River. The story is more interesting because he could have fled but didn't!"
009 saw right through his thoughts, "But you are not Xiang Yu, and I am not Liu Bang."
"And even if you stay, they won't get very far!"
"But don't worry, I'll make you watch them die!"
After saying that, 009 whistled, and a whistle sword shot out!
The entire Chaos Splitter surrounded them at that moment!
The White Walker raised his greatsword to parry the Sentinel's sword, and at the same time, he lunged at 009 and the group of Chaos Splitter members behind him!
"This is the first time in my life I've ever loved someone. If I live, she lives too!!"
"That's unfortunate, you're about to die!" 009 sneered.
Ten days later.
Inside a cramped underground bar.
The shop is very small, with almost only a bar counter inside.
A young man with blue hair sits at the bar all day long.
The bald bartender behind the counter noticed that he had been sitting there without ordering any drinks, so he took a bottle of wine from under the counter and came over.
"Is the young man Chinese?"
"Um."
"What a coincidence, I lived there for a few years before."
The blue-haired man didn't reply, so the owner opened the bottle and poured a glass, pushing it in front of him.
"Promise."
"I have no money."
"It's free, it's on you."
The bald man revealed a row of big white teeth as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, the blue-haired man picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp.
The liquor wasn't very strong, but it was a bit sour and astringent.
As an experienced bartender, Paul recommends drinks based on the customer's mood at the time.
"How about it?"
"It doesn't taste good."
"I know, just like love, right?"
Upon hearing Paul's words, the White Walker hesitated for a moment, "Could I have another drink?"
"Okay, but not for free this time. Let me think... how about you trade one of your stories in exchange?"
Paul said this, but in reality, he was using it to pry open the White Walkers' conversation.
If you don't speak your mind and keep it bottled up inside, you'll eventually get sick.
"I like a girl..."
"Hmm, and then what?"
"She was murdered, and I'm thinking about how to avenge her."
Paul's expression changed. "Brother, listen to me. Your thinking is dangerous. Violence is not the solution. You should call the police for this kind of problem."
The White Walker pushed the glass away, and Paul, swallowing the words he was about to say, poured him a glass of wine.
"You're sitting here quietly now instead of seeking revenge, so you should understand what revenge means."
"If you kill a criminal, you become a criminal. Isn't that a classic line?"
The White Walker picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp. "You've got it wrong."
"I will not seek revenge, not for the reasons you gave, but because I cannot defeat my enemy."
"Then let's hand it over to the police..."
"The police are no better."
"Hmm... that's a really tricky problem."
The White Walker covered his forehead; let alone seeking revenge, he was already incredibly lucky to be alive.
If it weren't for the help of the I Ching master, he would already be dead at the hands of 009.
The I Ching banished him to the Eight Trigrams Space, seemingly intending to trap him to death, but food and water would always fall in during that time.
The White Walkers stayed in the Eight Trigrams Space for a long time.
Perhaps it was a blessing from heaven, but when he entered the Kan Water Gate, he emerged from that space.
The Chaos Splitter, such as 009, have disappeared.
But how could 009 give up after failing to kill the White Walkers?
In a fit of rage, he chased the old man and the girl to their deaths and then dumped their bodies in the place where the White Walkers had disappeared.
If the White Walkers truly valued these two, they wouldn't need 009 to come looking for them; the White Walkers would surely seek revenge on their own.
But the truth is, the White Walkers didn't go.
Instead, one person ran away.
He knew he couldn't beat 009, and going to find 009 now would only be suicide.
