Chapter 178: Human Nature

"Do you know that soon I won’t be able to use spells to connect my hand anymore?" The old man got angry when he heard Jenny say this. "You bastard, do you know who I am? Don’t be fooled by my appearance. I am the uncle of Duke Brandon, the Gem Provincial Governor of the Iberia Empire. If you offend me, after the chaos ends, I will make you fish food in the sea!"

Not all nobles have combat power, and not all people with status are Professionals. Talent is crucial.

Although you can use money to buy many magical equipment to forcibly enhance your qualifications, the process is often extremely painful and not everyone can bear it.

So, the old man in front of them is just an ordinary person.

"Sorry, it’s wartime now, so we have to follow wartime rules." When Jenny heard the old man’s identity, she was surprised too. But at this time of unity, rules couldn’t be broken because of power, or everything would be in chaos.

If it was peacetime, Jenny would definitely have been scared, but now she didn’t know where her courage came from.

Maybe it was the horrifying scenes she had seen along the way during her treatment, or maybe it was seeing some people still acting arrogant even in such a desperate situation that made her feel angry.

"Alright, you don’t believe me, do you?" The old man pulled out a piece of paper and threw it directly at Jenny’s face. "Take a good look at it."

Jenny closed her eyes from being slapped and instinctively took a step back.

The old man, being accustomed to being in power, naturally had a certain aura. Despite Jenny being strong herself, she still had a natural fear of such authority figures.

"What are you doing?"

Just then, several soldiers surrounded them and pointed their guns at the old man.

A sergeant walked up to the old man and said sternly, "Old man, we don’t care who you are, everyone is treated equally now!"

"If you don’t want to follow the rules, you can leave from this place."

"Okay, okay, okay…" The old man chuckled in annoyance, "Later I’ll make you all feed the fish together!"

The two soldiers glanced at each other, then lifted the old man and walked towards the exit of the place.

"What are you doing, what are you doing?" The old man struggled desperately in the air.

Seeing the two soldiers really wanting to throw him outside, the old man’s face changed, shouting, "I give up, I give up, I give up!"

This is like the Titanic, where some nobles are so oblivious even at the brink of death, trying to buy off the crew with money at the last moment, lacking fear of life and death.

Simply put, it’s habitual…

The two soldiers snorted, then released the old man.

The old man returned to Lock’s side, cursing, "These two women, once I escape, I will throw them into the dirtiest slum, let them be tormented for three days and nights, then throw them into the sewer to feed the rats!"

"How about that, I told you so!" Lock seemed to have found a partner and smiled, "To be honest, we can’t ignore them. Looking at the situation, it will only get more dangerous…"

"We just need to do it like this, like this, like this…"

The old man nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Although the old man initially showed kindness, some things deep down wouldn’t change.

Of course, this doesn’t mean there are no good people among the nobles, just not many.

……

The platoon leader asked Jenny, "Miss, are you okay?"

"I’m fine." Jenny heard an officer calling her miss for the first time, and the previous unpleasantness disappeared, "I can understand why people can be selfish in facing potential disabilities in the future."

"Thank you, please continue with the treatment." The platoon leader breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh!"

Just then, not far away, a sweet cry rang out.

Jenny and the platoon leader turned around at the same time.

The little girl who Jenny had given candy to earlier had returned to her mother’s side, planning to give the candy to her mother, but it was snatched away by a little boy.

The little boy triumphantly stuffed the candy into his mouth, ignoring the crying girl next to him, while the girl’s mother was there comforting her.

When disaster strikes, all sorts of strange creatures appear.

Although there were military forces in charge, their main role was to protect the entire neighborhood, not to manage these people.

Jenny felt her anger rising rapidly.

She clenched her fists tightly, but then quickly relaxed them.

As long as the disaster is over, these people are still special and should not be offended. It’s not a matter of principle, so don’t interfere anymore.

Smack!

Jenny was surprised when she saw Sophia angrily walk up and slap the little boy, asking, "Why would you do that?"

The little boy was clearly confused from being slapped, he stood still for several seconds before pointing at Sophia and shouting, "Hang her, hang her!"

The child’s bodyguard quickly dragged the little boy away – this was not their territory.

"Everyone!"

Just then, a soldier arrived at the center of the street and clapped his hands, saying, "We are running low on ammunition, we may have to leave here and regroup with the army."

"No!" an anxious middle-aged person exclaimed, "We can’t leave here, what if something goes wrong on the way?"

"Yes, we can’t leave," a wealthy woman spoke up, "My father was just injured, how can we leave now?"

"We’re running out of ammunition?" The young man’s expression changed.

"Is there an army?" Another person spoke up, "Then let’s gather quickly, what are we waiting for?"

"Gather for what? Is no one in your family injured?"

"Didn’t you hear that we’re running out of ammunition?"

"We still have the professionals, let them go!"

In an instant, various voices rang out, everyone’s opinions were completely divided.

The officer, listening to the noisy voices, also felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Gentlemen, with the current ammunition, we won’t last even half an hour. If we don’t retreat, as long as reinforcements don’t arrive, we’ll be defeated here," the officer said helplessly.

"Son, we can’t leave!" An old man stood up, "This street is our home. If we leave, what will happen to our home? Let it go to the enemy?"

The most important thing is, you can’t take money with you when you go away!

If you take money with you, others might want to take it from you and that wouldn’t be good.

This is why the military officer is in a difficult situation. These soldiers are rebels, and the reason they are staying here is because most of them joined the army after growing up on this street. They can’t treat their neighbors the same way as they would treat strangers.

For a moment, the neighbors couldn’t agree on anything…

Boom!

Just then, there was a sudden explosion from a rooftop, and flesh mixed with concrete and copper blocks fell from the sky. A defense line was breached by the cannon fire!

The flesh and blood falling from above were the remains of soldiers killed in the explosion.

In the ears of the crowd, the sound of armed helicopters’ propellers gradually became noticeable.

Looking into the distance, helicopters were hovering in the sky. Whyte was holding onto the helicopter’s door handle, looking down below with a cold smirk on his face.

Karoso’s signal was intermittent, while Whyte’s signal was very accurate.

Because Sophia was crucial to them, the black-robed priest left a special mark of the Lord of Eternity on Sophia.

If it wasn’t for Sophia’s unique constitution that happened to trigger a teleportation array during the ritual, they probably wouldn’t have been able to escape even three hundred meters.

"Is it reinforcements?"

"Is the military coming to protect us?"

"Those are Marquis Frank’s troops. Isn’t this whole incident because of Frank?"

By the time the military betrayed, the people in the city already knew what was happening.

"Hehehe…" Whyte smirked as he held a megaphone, saying coldly, "Miss Sophia, we meet again. You truly have some skills, managing to run so far in such a short time, and even getting the rebel troops to support you."

When Sophia saw Whyte, she was so scared that cold sweat dripped from her forehead.

"Miss…" Jenny quickly went to Sophia’s side, looked up at the helicopter, pointed at Whyte and shouted, "Captain, it’s them, they are the ones behind this incident, they brought monsters to attack us! Let’s unite and fight back! He won’t spare us!"

"Shoot, shoot at them!" The military captain’s face changed completely when he saw Whyte.

He knew the young master of the family.

Anyway, the captain is now a rebel, so it’s normal for Whyte to deal with him.

The soldiers don’t care that much, they only obey orders from their superiors.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers aimed their guns at Whyte and bullets rained towards him.

"Let them see what hell is like…" Whyte squinted his eyes and casually played a card.

Buzz!

A black semi-transparent shield enveloped Sophia.

"Except for Sophia, kill them all!"

With a big wave of his hand, Whyte said angrily.

"Roar!"

From far away, the ghoul seemed to have received an order, rushing towards this position.

Humans were about to resist, but…

Boom, boom…

The sound of cannons rang out in the distance, the soldiers stationed upstairs were like live targets, being blasted into pieces with each shot.

With shields protecting them, the Professionals could resist the ghoul’s bone spikes, but they couldn’t withstand the same kind of artillery fire, only able to watch helplessly as their comrades were killed in explosions.

Not just the soldiers, these Professionals faced intense artillery fire, their armor and shields shattered, flying through the air from the explosions.

"Run, run fast!"

The people on the street were running wildly towards the building, and no one was standing up to protest anymore.

The old man and Lock’s faces changed, and they entered the building together.

Boom, boom…

For a moment, there was blood and flesh flying everywhere. The building where the rich people were staying was stronger than the one where the commoners lived, so most of the dead were commoners.

Even though the bad people were living better and the good people were dying, it made people feel upset. But that’s just how things are in reality…

"Hahaha…cry, scream!" Whyte laughed wildly in the helicopter, "And then die!"

"Roar!"

When the enemies received reinforcements, the balance of the entire battlefield was disrupted. Ghouls rushed into the army’s camp and started crazily biting everyone.

Unfortunately, the Poisoner has been enticed away, otherwise they might have been able to break through the defenses here in an instant.

Jenny watched as the people she had just healed were being swallowed by ghouls, crying out in fear.

The scene, everywhere in the City of Freedom…

Jenny trembled as she watched the scene before her.

It’s terrible, too terrible!

"Miss Jenny, quick, fight back!"

The middle-aged Nature Mage shouted, "If we don’t fight back, we’ll all die!"

Jenny clenched her fists, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, choked up, "I’m sorry… I’m a bodyguard…"

"Don’t be afraid, miss,"

Jenny saw a chaotic scene and quickly threw out a card.

The golden light shone brightly on her cross.

Boom!

Jenny used all her strength to smash her cross, causing it to shatter loudly and breaking through Whyte’s shield, revealing Sophia inside.

Jenny grabbed Sophia and ran away.

Even though Whyte was a strong fourth-tier boss, Jenny, being a fifth-tier pastor, stood her ground.

The shield Whyte had cast was not for protection, but for marking purposes to prevent ghouls from attacking Sophia. It wasn’t very strong defensively.

Whyte was shocked to see the previously timid pastor stand up to him.

"Go after them!" Whyte pointed towards the two girls fleeing.

"Stop them!" Before that, a captain who had been saved by Jenny, rushed out of the trench, picked up a light machine gun and started shooting at the approaching ghouls.

Rat-a-tat-tat…

Flames shot out of the muzzle of the gun.

Many of those who had been treated just now, were now standing on this side.

Fighting monsters meant death, but they were soldiers, humans, while those two Pastors… they were innocent, and their saviors.

Jenny gritted her teeth and, with Sophia, dashed out of this neighborhood.

Unfortunately, the enemy now had absolute advantage, how could they escape?

The captain and others had strong wills, but having a strong will and winning are two different things, this was not a simple youthful story.

Armed helicopters rushed towards the two, a large net descending on them.

"Miss, run fast!"

Jenny swung her hand and threw Sophia out.

Two cards appeared in her hand, these were her last two cards.

"Sophia must live, this woman, blast her for me!" Whyte, seeing this woman still dare to mess around at this time, couldn’t help but order.

Crack, crack.

The helicopter started to turn its gun towards Jenny.

Jenny clenched her teeth, leaped forward, and two spears made of light appeared in her hand, directly tearing open the big net in front of her, charging towards the helicopter.

"Sister, save me…" Earlier, the little girl whom Jenny had given candy to did not run into the building in time, and a ghoul had already opened its big mouth towards her.

Swish!

Jenny threw a golden spear, pinning the ghoul to the ground. The little girl’s mom took the chance to carry her into the building.

"Jenny…" Sophia turned around, her face turning pale.

Countless bullets were shot towards Jenny.

Just then, a figure appeared behind Jenny, shielding her from the bullets.

Rat-a-tat-tat…

The heavy machine gun bullets couldn’t harm the person holding the shield.

Will grabbed Jenny’s hand and threw the shield towards the helicopter.

Whoosh!

Boom…

The round shield, like a boomerang, smashed two planes, pushing Will and Jenny back with the flames from the explosion.

Sophia felt a bit dizzy and saw a not very tall figure standing in front of her.

"Phew, I’m glad I made it in time."

Karoso had arrived early, but the netizens told him to wait for the right moment.
