1430 Know When to Stop
"Didn't you say that as long as we can contact your boss, we'll be able to solve the problem of the agents?" Doctor Ju looked at Zhao Jun hopefully. She hoped to hear some good news from him.
"But, you know that there's no way to send a signal in Kamoda." Zhao Jun's face was dark. He was smart so he knew that they had been tricked.
Doctor Ju knew that Zhao Jun was telling the truth, but …
"But, with my strength, I can't satisfy your demands." She was worried. She had already gathered all the ingredients she could gather. If the war didn't end, she would need to find a new source of ingredients. For a weak lady like her, this was extremely difficult.
"I know." Zhao Jun sighed. He knew what Doctor Ju was worried about. In fact, if he could, he did not want to be so thick-skinned as to exploit such a weak woman. However, for the sake of his companion who had followed him all the way here, he had no choice but to harden his heart and place this responsibility that did not belong to the other party on the shoulders of this weak woman.
As long as they could last until the end of the war, he would definitely repay this lady. Zhao Jun clenched his fists secretly. He reminded himself to remember the kindness she had shown them.
At that moment, Zhao Jun didn't know that his boss, Ling Lan, had already brought Li Lanfeng and Luo Lang to this place.
"Did you find them?" A few thousand miles away from the 7th Preserve District, a huge mecha clan was stationed in a valley.
"Yes. They are currently hiding in the 7th Preserve District." The mecha team in charge of scouting came back to report.
"Bang!" The mecha clan commander's mecha landed a punch on the wall of the valley. A huge crater instantly appeared.
"The 7th Preserve District. They really don't want to live anymore." The commander's voice was extremely cold.
"What should we do now, boss?" The other team leaders of the mecha teams standing at the side asked.
"Since they don't want to live anymore, let's satisfy them," the commander said coldly.
"The 7th Preserve District is under Lord Demon." Another team leader hesitated. After all, they were from the Alliance. Wouldn't Lord Demon be unhappy if they dealt with them like this?
"Kill them all and push the blame to the new Lord Gen." The commander had already thought of a plan.
"Understood." Everyone understood.
"Sis, Dad is looking for you." Doctor Ju had just finished applying medicine to a patient when she saw the twelve-year-old Xiao Qing, who had been learning how to make medicine by her side, running in while panting.
Doctor Ju's hand suddenly stopped moving. She looked at her suspiciously, "You're looking for me? What is it? “
"I don't know. Dad didn't tell me. Xiaoqing shook her head.
"Got it. I'll go right away. Doctor Ju answered and stood up. She washed her hands and went out to see her father.
Papa was the mayor of the 7th Preserve District. To be able to obtain a district that allowed them to live peacefully in a place that was filled with war was undoubtedly due to Papa's ability. No one knew what their father's name was. The older group of people who followed him had always respectfully called him Father. The newcomers also followed suit and called him Father.
His father usually didn't care about matters, but once he opened his mouth, it must be something important.
When he walked in, he saw his father sitting by the fire, holding a branch in his hand as if he was roasting something. Not long after, a mouth-watering aroma wafted out.
"Father, you're looking for me? Doctor Ju asked straightforwardly.
"Sit." Papa pointed to the seat next to him and said.
"Okay." Doctor Ju sat down obediently. This group of youngsters was brought up by Papa and they all respected him greatly.
"I heard that you saved some people." Papa asked in a low voice. He had never cared about the matters of the 7th Preserve District and let the children do whatever they wanted.
"Yes. They saved me, so I can't not save them." "Repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge. This was what Papa taught them since they were young."
"Yes, that's how it should be." A faint smile appeared on Papa's face, but it turned serious in the blink of an eye. "However, everything should be done within limits. You can't go overboard. Otherwise, there will be a backlash." “
Doctor Ju was stunned. For a moment, she couldn't understand what Papa meant.
"The 7th Preserve District was able to obtain peace on the battlefield because it was never involved in the war." Papa reached out and patted Doctor Ju's head, just like how he did when she was young. "However, once it gets involved, the 7th Preserve District will no longer be peaceful. Xiaoju, you have to make a decision." “
Doctor Ju lowered her head and fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, she raised her head again. Her eyes were filled with determination. "Papa, I understand."
Papa looked at her deeply and sighed softly. "Fate comes and goes. Since you want to do it, then do it."
"I'm sorry, Papa. I've disappointed you." Doctor Ju felt very guilty.
"No. I'm already very happy that you can make a decision. You've really grown up. " Papa's warm hand covered Doctor Ju's head again. The love he transmitted to her didn't decrease in the slightest.
"If you want to leave, then leave as soon as possible. No matter how well they hide, those who want to know will still find out. Staying here will only bring more harm than good." Papa reminded her.
"I understand." Doctor Ju was startled.
"Also, bring Xiaoqing and the others with you. It's better for them to follow you than to stay here." Papa continued to say.
Doctor Ju frowned slightly. Xiaoqing and the others were 12 years old, and the youngest was only 7 years old. Was it really good for them to experience the cruelty of the battlefield at such a young age? They might even lose their lives if they were unlucky. Was it really good for them?
"Staying here will only make them mediocre. The future of these children in the 7th Preserve District depends on you. " Papa seemed to understand Doctor Ju's thoughts, so he explained.
"I understand, Papa." Although Doctor Ju didn't agree with Papa's arrangement, she wouldn't reject it no matter how difficult it was. At most, she would use her life to protect Xiaoqing and the others.
"There's no time to lose. Let Xiaoqing and the others take the things and leave immediately. Don't come back unless the war is over. " Papa was undoubtedly a man of action.
"Okay. I'll take them away immediately. "Doctor Ju felt her father's urgency. She stood up directly and prepared to leave.
"Tuan Zi, Doctor Ju wants to take the children with her and leave with us?" Many captains found it hard to understand when they suddenly received Zhao Jun's notice. They were here to fight, not to babysit the children.
"It's my fault." Zhao Jun's face looked serious.
"Huh?" Zhao Jun's inexplicable apology made everyone confused.
"I took it for granted. I thought that the 7th Preserve District was really the 7th Preserve District and that we could have some breathing space here. Actually, it was just empty words …" Zhao Jun understood when he heard Doctor Ju say that she would take the children with her and leave immediately.
The so-called Preserve District was just a game made by the higher-ups. It could be cleared anytime and anywhere.
Those who could become captains weren't idiots. They immediately understood what Zhao Jun meant.
"Didn't we bring harm to the 7th Preserve District?" One of the captains was a little annoyed. It wasn't that they didn't like the children. It was just that they didn't think that it was a good idea to take the children to the battlefield. But now, they understood that the children might not have a good ending if they stayed here.
"I just hope that it's not too late." Zhao Jun looked at the setting sun with uncertainty. He hoped that his worries were just unnecessary.
