Looking at the approaching black "battle suit", Zhuo Ma calmed down.
The panic in its eyes faded away and was replaced by calmness.
"Cespia, Ran Ran, Yu Xiu."
He turned his head from the front seat and looked at the three of them in turn. "We can't leave. Don't be afraid. We didn't commit a public crime. If they want to kill us, they have to find other reasons. They can't do it in public. We still have time to fight for a lighter punishment. We might be thrown into prison factories or exiled to the cold mines. No matter what, as long as we don't die, there's still hope."
He then looked at the "young man" and said, "Cespia, don't resist. Even if you defeat this wave, there will be countless waves behind. When you're exhausted, the Hull family will rule the world. We can't escape from the Sacred City.
Even if we escape, there's nowhere to go. I know you think you can go back to the prairie, but it's really useless. You've never seen a combat aircraft. It can blow up the Fallen Grass Slope several times in less than a meal. You even implicated my brother and sister-in-law. "
The "young man" had been out of the prairie for some time and knew how powerful the aircraft was. He didn't think about this before. Now that Zhuo Ma said that they couldn't go back to the prairie, he nodded and said, "I know. I won't resist here."
He then said, "I'll take responsibility for what I've done. I'll make it clear to them that it has nothing to do with you. I'll go back with them."
Zhuo Ma shook its head and said, "Cespia, do you know the meaning of the name my brother gave you?"
The "young man" shook his head and said, "I don't know. You said it before, but I forgot."
Zhuo Ma said, "It means a gift from the prairie. It's an ancient tribal language in the prairie, but not many people know it now."
The "young man" nodded as if he remembered.
Zhuo Ma said lightly, "You came to this family, so you're our family. Yu Xiu has always thought of you as her biological brother since she was young. You and Ran Ran are like siblings. You're a family and a gift from the prairie. Even the supreme god can't take you away from us."
He didn't let the 'youth' speak and continued, "I shouldn't have brought you out of the prairie, but I don't regret it, because at least you know that this world doesn't only have prairies, but also more beautiful things.
Perhaps what we see today is the darkest side of the world. But no matter what happens after today, remember, you must believe in the beautiful things you see, hold on, and live on! "
He patted Hu Jinxiu's confused head and finally said, "Let's go down together and face it together."
After saying that, he opened the car door. Under the terrified gaze of the man driving the four-wheeler, he looked at the black "combat uniform" that came to the front of the car.
Zhuo Ma put its hands together and waited for the other party to grab it.
The 'youngster' got down from the car door on the other side, shielding Ran Ran and Hu Jinxiu behind him. Then, he quietly looked at the team in black uniforms surrounding them.
Different from the Hull family's investigators in St. Prentice University, the black uniforms on these people were more like a combat uniform. There was a purple semicircle emblem on the left side of the chest, and they were holding the same standard weapon in their hands. They looked elite and capable.
These people were all wearing black helmets, and most of their faces were covered by the dark green mask in front of the helmets. Their expressions couldn't be seen, but they looked very stern, with a silent killing intent.
The leader was a woman. Her slender legs were wearing straight combat boots, her waist was soft, and her chest was erect. She immediately set off her heroic aura as a soldier.
Different from the others, she didn't wear a helmet, but a military officer's hat. She glanced at Zhuo Ma, who had its hands extended, and then her gaze fell on the 'youngster'.
"You're Cesbia?" she asked as she closed the small folding screen in her hand.
To be fair, her voice wasn't bad, and it had a unique charm to it. It was just that in front of this black uniform, people didn't dare to have too many imaginations.
"Yes."
"Youngster …" He thought that since he had promised Zhuo Ma, he would speak less and move less, so his words were concise.
"Hello, you can call me Mia." She opened the folding screen again, pointed at a video on it, and asked, "Are you sure this person is you?"
The 'youngster' took a look. The video was playing the scene of him chasing the pale monster in St. Prentice University. The person who filmed it should be one of the students behind him. His hand was shaking so badly that he could barely see his shadow.
"Yes!"
The 'youngster' wasn't going to deny it. It was useless, so he answered simply.
The female officer closed the folding screen and said with a smile, "Welcome to Purple Emblem Battle Squad Seven B Squadron!"
"Yes."
The 'youngster' was thinking about what to do next, so he answered out of habit. He wasn't going to resist anyway, so he was prepared to answer with one word — yes.
Zhuo Ma, however, came to a realization. Its eyes flickered with disbelief, but this time, it carefully interjected, "Sir, you mean?"
The female officer Mia looked at Zhuo Ma and said, "According to the real-time intelligence sent by Morty's investigator, aren't you going to join the Purple Emblem Hull family? You are officially accepted by the Purple Emblem Battle Squad Seven B Squadron. "
Zhuo Ma's mouth twitched. Suddenly, it felt as if it had returned from the Infernal Realm to the Divine Kingdom. It wanted to ask, weren't they accused of theft and ambushing? Why …?
But it knew it couldn't ask, and it didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble. The joy and excitement of escaping death could only be transmitted to the 'youngster' and the other two through its eyes.
But at this time, the 'youngster' reacted and asked, "Why?"
Zhuo Ma instantly became nervous, but it knew it couldn't interrupt now, so it forced itself to stand calmly on the side.
Ran Ran's eyes were also filled with surprise, while Hu Jinxiu scratched her head, as if she didn't understand what was going on.
The female officer Mia turned to look at the 'youngster' and said, "I've watched your video, and I admire your combat ability. That's all."
The 'youngster' frowned and said, "What if I don't want to?"
Zhuo Ma wanted to cover his mouth, but it didn't dare to move.
The female officer didn't seem to mind. She smiled and said, "It's fine. You can continue with your original plan. I won't force you. But I just learned that Investigator Mordecai is on his way. He'll definitely catch up to you."
Her words had at least two meanings, but they were both clear and straightforward. First, she wasn't on the same side as that investigator, and if they didn't agree, she would let them go. Second, even if she let them go, they would have nowhere to go, and they would definitely be caught up to.
Zhuo Ma understood immediately, and so did the 'youngster'. He just didn't know much about the outside world, and he wasn't stupid, but he seemed to be thinking too far into the future. Just as he found a way to get rid of the investigator, he thought of something even further away. This drove Zhuo Ma crazy.
Zhuo Ma asked, "Are you paid once a day?"
What made Zhuo Ma and Ran Ran even more embarrassed was that Hu Jinxiu also seemed to be very concerned about this question, and she looked at the female officer seriously.
In fact, it was very difficult for them to understand the 'youngster' and Hu Jinxiu's days of not knowing their next meal — it was always better to hold the money in one's own hands first, and look at it a few times every night before sleeping …
"It's true that we don't pay you once a day, but the total amount is much more than that. Let's put it this way, after you officially become a member of the 7th Detachment, your pay can support about a hundred families with a normal standard of living in the Sacred City. Of course, there will be promotions in the future, so you don't have to worry about this at all. If you have difficulties now, the detachment can give you a portion in advance."
The female officer Mia didn't seem to be impatient, and explained in detail in the fastest way that the 'youngster' could understand, and even considered the reason behind him asking this question.
Zhuo Ma felt a little sour, not because this little bit of money was nothing to him in the past, but because after being despised and humiliated by the trampling of his soul, he was able to get even the slightest bit of respect.
When the 'youngster' heard that he could get an advance payment, and thinking that they really had nowhere else to go, although he was very resistant to joining the army, he could only say, "Okay."
Zhuo Ma let out a long sigh of relief. This huge disaster had almost exhausted his spirit, and he instantly felt a little exhausted.
At this moment, the female officer Mia said again, "Cesbia, based on your video, we can estimate your combat ability, but a warrior's basic physical level still needs to be evaluated. After that, you still need to perform a short training before we can evaluate your level based on the comprehensive data. How about this, we'll go back to the base first. You guys come with us to the Purple Emblem military base. Investigator Modeyo should be arriving soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice coming from afar.
"Mia, you guys actually dare to recruit a thief and ambusher? You guys are getting more and more impudent. In your eyes, is there still a lady? Is there still a Hull family?! "
Following that, a figure jumped down from a fighter aircraft that was rapidly approaching at a low altitude, and landed steadily not far in front of the female officer.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man who was very burly. His black hair was tied behind his head, and he was wearing a different combat uniform that the female officer and the others wore. The 'youngster' had seen this uniform before. When the black motorcade passed by that day, there were more than a dozen black-haired people wearing this uniform standing outside the car.
However, those people all had a uniform short haircut, while this person was a little longer.
Seeing him, the female officer Mia's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Miss has always supported us, and we're doing this for the future of the Hull family!"
The burly man sneered, "A bunch of traitors! How dare you say it's for the future of the Hull family? Do you think no one knows that you leaked the fifth fire variant combat skill last time? Let me tell you, the family has already started investigating. Just wait for your trial! "
"Don't even think about taking this despicable guy who committed the crime of theft and ambushing away. So you guys have already colluded. Then he is the evidence!"
