Yuleen had not eaten meat for a long time.
Clean water, fragrant roasted meat, it was like her mother's embrace in her dreams. It warmed her body and made her feel like she was in heaven.
Her tongue still hurt, and so did her hands. But it did not matter. As long as she could live, everything else did not matter.
Her mother said that she was like the wild grass in the desert. Even if the sun burned in the day and the frost came at night, it would still germinate again.
One must be optimistic.
He wanted to see happy places and happy places. That way, one would become a person full of happiness.
Yuleen still remembered her mother's words when she hugged her.
The Steel Lord looked at the little girl's crooked handwriting on the sand. Yuleen.
"Is that your name?" He asked.
The girl nodded and smiled innocently.
She was not pretty, her skin was rough, and there was nothing special about her facial features. Only her smile. She gave the impression of a wild flower swaying in the wind in the forest.
Not fragrant, not beautiful, but ordinary and tenacious.
"I can only send you to the next village at most. You will have to live alone then. Independence is the most basic instinct of the strong. "The Steel Lord said calmly.
"…" Yuleen nodded. She gave a flattering smile.
"Let's go." The Steel Lord ignored her and called out to Ishak before turning and leaving.
The three of them formed a line and hurried on at a moderate pace.
Fortunately, the next village was not too far away. Just as Ishak and Yuleen could not hold on any longer, they finally arrived at the village.
The golden desert slowly turned into a barren Gobi Desert.
On the side of a hill in the Gobi Desert stood a small gray village.
There were quite a lot of people in the village. Most of them were merchant caravans and mercenaries that had gathered here.
This was the largest mercenary base in the area. It attracted many merchants to gather here and eventually formed this simple village.
The Steel Lord and Ishak replenished their supplies, bought a camel, and left Yuleen with enough food and water, as well as a small amount of money.
The two then continued on their way.
The Steel Lord needed to find a city that was stable and large enough to serve as a base to spread the holy power.
An hour later.
Yuleen looked at the Steel Lord and Ishak's disappearing silhouette as she stood on the barren land outside the village.
"It's her! I just saw those two give her money! "Behind him, a few fierce-looking strong men and women quickly walked over with rifles and pistols in their hands.
Beside them was a skinny, shriveled man.
In the desert, there was no order at all. As long as there were enough benefits, people would do anything illegal.
There was no unified country here, only locust-like poor people, bandits, robbers, and armies.
Bang.
The character was pushed to the ground.
The only thing she had on her was a bag of dry biscuits and a bottle of water.
"As expected! There was food and drink! Hehe! And money! Where is the money!? Speak! "The skinny man stomped on Yuleen's stomach and shouted fiercely.
A few armed men and women also walked over with indifferent expressions.
"This little brat's gaze is so annoying." A woman with a scar on her face stared at the actress in annoyance.
Yulin endured the pain, a fawning smile appearing on her face as she tried to beg the man to spare her.
However, they no longer paid attention to her gaze. She just let the skinny man search her body for money.
"You still haven't found it?" The scarred woman became impatient.
"Soon, soon …"
"Get her to tell us about the old man. Ishak knows him, he's a new face, and he even has money to give to a trash kid like this. Hehehe … he must be rich."
The woman sneered.
After searching for a long time, they finally found a few hundred Redwinian currency from Yuleen's body.
In this place, the Redwinian and Migan currencies were rather popular currencies.
"So little? And a mute? "The scarred woman saw Yuleen's severed tongue. A bored look appeared on his face.
"Forget it, let's get rid of her."
She raised her gun and pointed it at Yuleen.
"Stop!" The Steel Lord's figure once again appeared at the edge of the village. He stared calmly at the scarred woman and the others.
He had overestimated the quality of the people here. Even a little thing he gave to a kid would bring disaster upon himself.
This place … was just like what Ishak said. Chaotic, devoid of morals, and inhumane.
"Oh? You're back? "The scarred woman was surprised." Did you come back just for this kid? "
She smiled.
* Click. *
Suddenly, she raised her gun and aimed at the Steel Lord, at the same time releasing the safety.
"Don't move! Or we'll kill this kid! "Another person pointed a gun at Yuleen's head.
The Steel Lord's face was calm, and he was about to speak.
Suddenly, Yuleen looked up and smiled at him.
"You … wait!!" The Steel Lord's eyes widened.
* Bam!! *
Yuleen charged forward, her skinny body slamming into the scarred woman's gun-wielding arm, and bit it.
She bit with all her might. Like a wild dog.
She had no money, no food, and nothing else to give. The only thing she had was her life.
Mother said that when you die, you can see heaven.
Mother said that when you die, you can speak again.
Mother said, don't be afraid.
Mother said, don't be afraid …
Yuleen bit down on the scarred woman's arm, and would not let go.
* Ahhh!! *
The scarred woman screamed.
"Damn you …!!"
* Bang!! *
A gunshot rang out.
The Steel Lord, who was rushing over to help, narrowed his eyes as he saw blood splatter on Yuleen's body.
"I … am not afraid …" Yuleen thought. Her petite body fell heavily to the ground, and a pool of blood seeped out of her back, seeping into the sand.
She opened her mouth and made a sound. Her mouth seemed to be speaking, but her face seemed to be smiling.
The Steel Lord rushed in front of them, and with a casual wave of his arm, the gun-wielding bandits were sent flying as if they had been hit by a giant elephant, crashing into the sand and vomiting blood.
But it was too late.
He walked to Yuleen's side and squatted down.
He did not expect that in this village, there would be people who would fight over such a small amount of money for food. He didn't expect that his momentary kindness would lead to such a result in the end.
He did not expect Yuleen to be so stubborn.
She seemed to want to prove that saving her was worth it.
She wanted to save the Steel Lord.
"…" The Steel Lord lowered his head and gently stroked Yuleen's hair. It was as if he had returned to the past, when he stroked the hair of his son's corpse.
It was also his decision.
It was also him.
His son died in battle, and his wife committed suicide. His subordinates were dragged down by him, and died together in the apocalypse.
Now, another life was leaving him.
"Once again …" The Steel Lord looked at Yuleen's eyes that were gradually losing focus.
"Do you want to save her, Bavaria?" Bavaria. "A voice that the Steel Lord did not expect to hear suddenly appeared not far behind him.
"Condition!" The Steel Lord did not get up, and quickly said.
