Chapter 179. Act Three, Important Supporting Actors(1/2)
Through the gap in the cupboard, Zhou Jinru saw Adela closing the door and window of the study room, always facing away from Wasim, while the brown-haired Dr. Wasim endured the pain and trembled to treat the wound. He used great perseverance to pull out the wound embedded in the body.
Iron piece, blood suddenly started to flow. He quickly poured the medicine into the wound with his other hand and pressed it with clean gauze.
This method of treating trauma seems very amateurish and does not fit Wasim's name at all. But what is surprising is that those humble-looking powdered wound medicines really stopped the blood. After dyeing several layers of gauze red,
The bleeding stopped, which is comparable to the quick-acting hemostatic powder of Warfarin.
Zhou Jinru didn't know why, he just thought it was too magical. Unknowingly, Shi Huaiya in his arms rubbed against his chest, attracting his attention.
Shi Huaiya's face was very hot. Although she knew there was a reason for the two people to get along so closely, she couldn't help but blush. The bursts of shyness made her almost faint.
"What's going on?!"
Adela, who was walking back and forth by the window, seemed to hear something. She suddenly raised her head and saw something flying at high speed outside the transparent glass.
Click!
The glass shattered, and a missile landed on the study floor and swirled, sending out traces of smoke.
Adela made a sliding shovel, turned around and kicked the incoming smoke bomb back.
The moment she turned around, several black shadows fell from the window and quickly broke in. All of them were fully armed, holding sharp steel knives, and headed straight for Wasim.
"doctor!"
Adela shouted loudly, drew out the long sword hanging from her waist, struck preemptively, and stabbed the nearest enemy with a straight sword.
The five attackers who broke into the study did not get involved with Adela. They had a clear goal. After two of them separated to stop Adela, the remaining three pounced on the injured Wasim.
Dr. Wasim, an important member of the faction, was still sitting on the chair behind the desk. His hand after treating the wound was stained with his own blood. He looked at the approaching attacker and gently pressed his big hand on the surface of the desk. He didn’t know when there would be more people there.
a document.
"You think you can get rid of me this way?"
Wasim's face was pale, but his expression was not panicked. Facing these attackers, his calmness made the enemy fearful.
Although they were suspicious, the attackers did not stop and pressed forward step by step. The distance between them was less than five meters. In other words, these attackers could kill Wasim with a single lunge.
One of the attackers thought so. He jumped up, dropped his black boots on the desk, and slashed Wasim's neck with the long knife in his hand.
Got it!
In the lightning flash, the rapidly falling blade did not land on the flesh and blood as expected. Dr. Wasim raised a hand and tightened his five fingers. The blade was in his palm and could no longer move an inch.
Drops of blood flowed down the blade, but Wasim did not panic at all. He still sat there and said calmly: "If you wanted to kill me, your Majesty should have done it when we were in Vole Prison. If you want to kill me now, your Majesty should have done it."
Send the Praetorian Guard."
The blood he shed solidified, instantly forming magnificent blood-red ice crystals. The long knife he was holding was even covered with a layer of frost, forcing the attacker who was holding the handle to let go. If this continues, he will definitely...
Frozen by the spreading frost.
"Gentlemen, who have lived in Londinium for many years, have you ever seen a real cold disaster?"
Wasim's eyebrows were white as snow. He raised his hands, and the cold current that was enough to cause frostbite rushed towards the invading attackers. At the moment the cold current appeared, Adela turned over and hid behind the nearby sofa, because of this cold current.
Cold Wave is a range attack that does not distinguish between friend and foe.
Zhou Jinru, who was hiding in the cupboard, could no longer stay there. Even though he could resist the cold wave, Shi Huaiya in his arms was already so cold that he almost lost consciousness.
"lighthouse!"
He let out a soft cry, and a bright light burst out, just like a flash bomb, causing the few people who were caught off guard to temporarily lose their sight, and Wasim's cold current was also interrupted.
Zhou Jinru tried his best to protect the film girl with his body temperature, broke through the cabinet door, flew towards the nearest attacker, passed his hands over the opponent's neck, and knocked one of them out instantly. His movements were fast and violent, and he never hesitated after knocking down the enemy.
In just a few breaths, all five attackers were knocked down.
After regaining her sight, Adela saw Zhou Jinru throwing the last attacker out of the study door, and opened her mouth, not knowing what expression to use.
"How will you be here?"
Zhou Jinru clapped his hands, turned around, and said calmly: "I've been here for a while."
Adela seemed to remember something. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "You are the thief who broke in!"
"I didn't steal anything."
Zhou Jinru came closer to check Shi Huaiya's condition. The eldest lady was shivering from the cold and her lips were blue. She was wearing thin clothes and she was very close to Wasim. They were the first people to be hit by the cold wave.
.
"Cold, I'm so cold."
Shi Huaiya's voice trembled, she was out of breath, her whole body was stiff and hunched, as if she was freezing.
"hold me."
Zhou Jinru took the initiative to hug her, looked at the listless Wasim, and activated the large-scale attack on the Origin Stone technique. It would have consumed a lot of physical energy, but Wasim was dragging his injured body, but he collapsed due to the cold wave.
.
When Frost Star's snow monster team creates large-scale spell attacks, they will definitely rely on the power of the frost magic circle. It is difficult to support it with personal strength, unless it is life-threatening.
Zhou Jinru couldn't tell how many lives Wasim lost in a cold snap. Anyway, it was not too few. If the strong light of his own lighthouse hadn't been suddenly interrupted, Wasim might have lost half of his life here, and maybe he would have lost another life.
He became a latent infected person due to excessive stimulation of power.
"Who are you?"
The weak Wasim also looked at Zhou Jinru. To his surprise, the man in front of him was already in the cupboard, and all their conversations must have been eavesdropped.
Zhou Jinru didn't speak. He focused all his energy on Shi Huaiya. Adela walked quickly and whispered: "He is the male servant of the Shivaash family, and he calls himself Zhou."
Since she couldn't figure out why Zhou Jinru appeared here, Adela didn't dare to make random guesses in front of Wasim.
"Shiva Ash?"
Wasim frowned slightly, reached under the desk, and turned a hidden switch. The bookcase behind him moved in response, slowly opening to both sides, and a dark hole appeared in front of them.
Wasim's eyes were always fixed on Zhou Jinru, and he said calmly: "If I were you, I would never leave the room now. There are snipers outside, and you are bringing a girl who has lost the ability to move."
Zhou Jinru didn't mind Wasim's sight. He kicked his toes, and a steel knife that had fallen on the floor flew up into the air and landed in his palm.
"Shall we take the secret passage you built?"
Wasim nodded and walked into the secret passage with Adela's support, followed closely by Zhou Jinru and Shi Huaiya. His footsteps fell exactly on the path walked by the two people in front of him.
It is not unusual for nobles to build secret passages. The secret passage in Wasim's house is almost vertical up and down, and the stairs at their feet are extremely high. Based on vague judgment, Zhou Jinru estimated that they had already reached the ground after taking a few steps.
And it's still going down.
This secret passage is useless after being used once. When the attacker enters again, he will definitely find the secret passage.
The slope gradually slowed down under his feet. Zhou Jinru smelled the humid air. The smell seemed not good. He immediately thought of the sewer pipes. The structure of Londinium's underground water network was complex. If he wanted to get rid of the pursuers, that was the best way to escape.
Choose, the premise is that you will not get lost.
The sound of water gradually reached their ears, and they arrived at the sewer. A rusty iron fence blocked the way. Adela who was walking in front hit the iron branch with the blade of her sword, making a crisp sound, but she could not directly break the iron branch.
fence.
Zhou Jinru stepped forward, grabbed the iron branch with both hands, and pulled hard to both sides. The human figure behind him flashed away, and the rusted iron door suddenly opened a gap, which was enough for an adult to pass through.
Their shoes stepped on the wet ground, stained with moss and mud. The four of them walked forward for a while. In front of a closed door in the pipeline, Wasim stepped forward, knocked hard twice, and coughed again.
Knock three more times to complete the docking code.
Squeak.
There was a soft sound, and the closed door opened in front of them. Standing inside was a man wrapped in a black cloak, beckoning them to hurry in.
"This is one of our secret bases."
Wasim said softly, but because he moved too frequently, blood flowed out of the easily treated wound.
In the secret stronghold of the faction members, many people were already waiting. Seeing Wasim's arrival, everyone made some whispers.
Zhou Jinru and Shi Huaiya were outsiders. They kept a low profile and did not cause much trouble.
"Miss Shi, have you recovered?"
Shi Huaiya leaned against Zhou Jinru and said softly: "I'm still a little dizzy."
The implication is that I can't leave you yet.
Zhou Jinru said yes and hid in the crowd with the film girl. This time he came out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den. He had to be careful about anything he said.
"Doctor, you are still alive."
The woman with dark green hair who was sitting carelessly aside smiled and spoke in a not very respectful tone.
The voice sounded familiar, and Zhou Jinru quietly looked towards the speaker, only to see Jiavir sitting there with a golden sword wearing a tiger finger on both hands, not paying any attention to Wasim.
Before, I only knew that Gavel was the person in charge of an underground black boxing group. Unexpectedly, she suddenly transformed into a member of the Jacobin faction. However, under the royal family's surprise attack, it only took half a day for the faction to go from high to low.
"Chief Gavel, don't forget, the prison has not been captured yet."
Javier spread his hands: "There is nothing we can do. We have lost supplies, and the raids by those steam mechas have dispersed many people. There are only so many people who can appear here now."
Through the conversation between the two, Zhou Jinru fell into deep thought. The department store that was attacked was the place where they held the meeting. When the attack occurred, there was no sentry point to warn in advance. I don’t know whether it was because the intelligence personnel of the faction were not high enough or the royal family.
Well done, in these few hours the faction became completely deaf and blind.
