This brave man is a scumbag

Chapter 553 Redemption
In the dark night before dawn, Arthur Morgan stood on the high platform, and behind him was the sanctuary of the Vanoli community.In the refuge, women, children and the elderly huddled tightly together, looking at the endless strange events outside the window in horror.

This is a forgotten community, or rather, an unfortunate but fortunate community.This community is geographically remote, sparsely populated, and transportation is not well developed.So, the community was out of touch with the main force during the evacuation and could only temporarily hide in the nearest shelter.

Taric's refuge needs brilliant crystals as energy to maintain runes, but the rune storage room in this community was the first to be occupied by monsters, so the runes in Vanori's refuge can only last for less than one Hour.

This was their misfortune. After the effect of the runes gradually weakened, those monsters who were eyeing tigers immediately launched an attack.But luckily, Arthur Morgan, who was on his way to the center of the city, passed by here.

When Arthur Morgan followed the call for help to find this refuge, almost all the men in this refuge had died in battle, and the runes had already dried up their oil lamps, and they were about to disintegrate completely.Just when Geely's butcher's knife was about to strike those women and children, the bullet penetrated their skulls.

Energy-constructed bullets don't have any recoil and don't require reloading.The man is wearing a brown leather jacket, light gray jeans are covered with dust, and his feet are in the rear gear Martin boots that old people like to wear in the last century.With a cigar in his mouth, he just stood in front of the high platform of the shelter, raised the old-fashioned pistol in his hand, and pulled the trigger.

As a demigod-level shooter, the act of aiming is no longer a burden, but an almost instinctive existence.Just like people don't need to deliberately breathe in normal life, Arthur doesn't need to aim at all, all he needs is to figure out where to shoot at the opponent.

The head is the weakness of most monsters.

Just after leaving the mental space, Arthur Morgan's spirit is still a little weak, but his body does not have any sense of dullness.He ignored the slow beating heart in the sky, after all, for him, killing these monsters was the only thing to do.

As for the heart, leave it to Zhou Li and those gods.

Thinking of this, Arthur Morgan continued to use his ability to cooperate with the pistol to repel the endless waves of strange disasters.Under the revolver, which looked dilapidated but was actually made of pure magic materials, countless monsters turned into streaks of remnants, and finally retreated to the edge of the battlefield, recovering slowly.

Boom!
Arthur Morgan heard an exclamation behind him as the heart beat for the first time.It seemed that those he protected were no longer in pain.But he didn't think much about it. As far as Arthur was concerned, it didn't make any sense to think about it.Anyway, that heart didn't affect him, it had nothing to do with him.

Boom!
The heart beat for the second time, and the people behind me started to have some bad laughs.It seemed that some of their emotions had been taken away.

And Arthur obviously felt that the offensive of those monsters had weakened, and he had time to breathe.He raised his head and glanced at the heart of the sky, but there was nothing unusual.

Then, it was the third, fourth, and fifth beatings.

When his heart beat for the sixth time, Arthur was shocked to find that those monsters suddenly possessed the characteristics of immortality. At the same time, the crowd behind him cried out in despair.

despair······
Very simply, Arthur sensed the diffuse emotions of the crowd behind him.He began to notice something was wrong, and found that those strange events seemed to be related to people's emotions.

Then, those monsters started a crazy attack.

Apart from the abyss-like darkness in Arthur Morgan's eyes, there was only scorching flames left.The trigger in his hand was pulled very rhythmically, and every time the trigger collided with the rune, the blood on the monster's body would be ignited.

He was not angry, or Arthur Morgan did not have the emotion of anger.For a gunslinger in the west, Arthur Morgan's anger has long been swallowed up by bullets.Likewise, Arthur Morgan did not despair.

Those who can see hell with the eyes of death have already tasted the breath of despair.

The bullets harvested those strange lives, and the indifference in Arthur's eyes became deeper and deeper.He didn't know why he pulled the trigger, and he didn't understand why he wanted to participate in this war.

He was just a westerner, a westerner who had been abandoned by Tariq.Tariq never offered him a piece of bread or a glass of water, let alone a warm bed with perfect medical care.

What Arthur Morgan had was only the faint fire in the ruins, the leaky shabby shed, the dried fish that smelled like crystals, and the means to cure all diseases with a scalding knife.

However, now he is standing in this city and guarding this country.

Slowly, Arthur's hand began to hesitate.There was also confusion and powerlessness in his eyes.He wasn't desperate, just a little tired.He didn't understand why he wanted to save these old and weak women and children who had nothing to do with him and were not in his gang.

He is obviously a cowboy, a monster whose nerves have been soaked in blood in the west.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since the last heartbeat, he just numbly poured energy into the weapon, pulled the trigger, and fired the bullet.Gradually, even a demigod felt tired.

Just when Arthur Morgan felt his fingers start to tremble, he heard a man calling.

It was a retired soldier, a retired soldier who used to live in the community.He received the news in advance at work, did not choose to go home, and stayed in the big shelter early.

Then, he didn't see his brother and mother.

He knew that the location of the crystal vault in the community was very poor, and when those monsters appeared, they would directly destroy the crystal vault, and the community itself did not have any troops to stop the monsters.

Therefore, he chose to apply to his superiors, leave the city shelter, and deliver the brilliant crystals to the community.

All this was learned by Arthur Morgan later, because at that time, the man's body had already been torn apart, and all he ran out of the crowd of monsters was a body that had been corroded to the point where he couldn't see his face and a package.What Arthur Morgan heard was just a recording.

[Please put the brilliant crystal in the groove next to the door of the shelter]

A recording that was repeated repeatedly, in addition to this soldier who originally lived in the Valino community, there were five other soldiers who performed this task from the city shelter.In the end, only one person managed to reach the community shelter.

At this time, Arthur didn't want to think anymore. After he got the crystal, he only had instinct in his mind.

After receiving the crystal, Arthur shot a high-explosive bullet with all his strength, then put the crystal in the groove, activated the rune, and blocked the monsters.At that time, he collapsed powerlessly on the ground of the shelter and lost consciousness.

This is the first time he fell asleep alone in a strange environment. In the west, sleeping in the wilderness can only end with being eaten and killed. Even if it is an unfamiliar house or hotel, Arthur must have a companion to guard Arthur to sleep. go down.But this time, he slept deeply.

After about half an hour, Arthur Morgan woke up.When he woke up again, he was lying on the best bed in the shelter, covered with a lot of clothes.He hesitated, but still stretched out his hand and put the clothes aside.When he looked into the refuge that he had been guarding, he was shocked to find that everyone was curled up in pain.

They have been crushed by despair.

Boys, girls, women, old people, they all trembled, holding their heads, trembling uncontrollably.Arthur Morgan knew that they were taken away by that weird heart, leaving only despair.

But
With a complicated look in his eyes, Arthur Morgan looked at the silent people, as well as the clothes that were originally covering him.

In such despair, they did not forget to put Arthur Morgan on the bed, but also suppressed the despair and pain in their hearts, and covered him with clothes.They obviously wanted to cry out in despair, but they still curled up, not wanting to disturb Arthur Morgan.

people.
Arthur had no words, and no encouraging words.He just walked slowly to the door of the shelter, then lowered his head, took out a blood-soaked cigar, and lit it.

In the dim sanctuary, the sparks of the cigar shone faintly like the only star in the night sky.On Arthur Morgan's rough face that had experienced the wind and sand in the west, a kind of dignified chill gradually gathered.

Why save these people?Obviously they have nothing to do with themselves, and even their country has abandoned themselves.Obviously these people are useless, in the west, these people can only be the remnants eliminated by the cruel law.Obviously, I am not a kind person.

I do not understand.

The cigar was burning slowly, and the crystal gradually dimmed under the constant attack of the monsters outside.Arthur Morgan closed his eyes, disturbed by the faint sobs behind him.In the west, even the weakest girl knows that she must be strong to survive, and tears are the weakest protest.

Didn't I already pay off what I owed Zhou Li?
Halfway through the cigar burning, Arthur Morgan felt a hesitation he had never had before.During the days of Van der Linn's gang, he was always tense and guarded against everything in the wasteland.Both humans and monsters are his enemies.

But······
He still remembered that when he returned to this shelter, even though there were thousands of people here, he still fell asleep in peace.If it was in the west, then Arthur Morgan would rather find a ruin and risk being discovered by monsters to rest, and would not rest in a place with so many people and no precautions.

In the west, it meant total death.

However, when he stepped on Tariq's land and entered Tariq's refuge, without any hesitation, Arthur Morgan chose to rest immediately.He didn't guard against anyone, and it turned out that these people didn't need any protection from him.

The heat of the cigar burning had already begun to make Arthur Morgan's lips feel a burning sensation. When he came back to his senses, he found that the remaining amount of the crystal was not enough.

The desperation behind them still exists, and those people are trying their best not to look at themselves.Arthur Morgan knew that they were afraid of letting their despair infect them, and they didn't want to cause them any trouble.

Is this civilization...
Arthur suddenly remembered that during those days in the west, he and Dutch had been having a dispute.That is, Arthur has always wanted to let the Van der Lin gang return to the civilized world, and Dutch has always wanted to run amok in this free west.

At that time, many people believed that Arthur was a trash who had abandoned the cowboy spirit of the west and wanted to go to the civilized world to survive.But Arthur used his pistol and dead eyes to tell those people that he wanted civilization, but it didn't mean he would believe in civilization.Later, Arthur rarely mentioned this matter in front of everyone.

But when Arthur first felt the presence of civilization, he was shaken again.

"I saved you not because I am a good person."

Arthur was smoking a cigar, turned his head, and stared at those trembling people with his dark eyes. He didn't care whether these people could remember his words or not, so he said: "I saved you, I just hope to give my family a better life." A little place to go."

The crystal entered the countdown, and the runes began to flicker slowly.Arthur Morgan knew that if he relied on these people to escape, those monsters would not be able to catch him no matter what.However, if he chooses to open this door and exchange ideas with the monsters outside, there is a high probability that he will not be able to go back.

"Remember, in the west, there is a Van der Lin gang. If you can survive, please tell the brave, just say it"

"If possible, let that old Dach experience how wonderful civilization is."

Checking the weapons in his hands, Arthur Morgan finally looked at the group of trembling people. He didn't care whether they listened or not, and he didn't care whether these people understood his words. He looked at these people and suddenly smiled.

"Don't be moved, I'm just exchanging benefits."

Throwing the cigar on the ground, he stomped on the cigar vigorously.Arthur Morgan drew the pistol from his belt, turned around, and took a deep breath.

Then, the door to death was pushed open.

Outside the door, the heart appeared again, but this time, the heart was as red as blood.Like a burning gem, it completely illuminates the sky.

Arthur Morgan looked at those monsters who fell into madness and anger, grinned, and a cruel and indifferent smile appeared on his face.

I have been in the civilized world for a long time, and I almost forgot...
The eyes of death devoured people like an abyss, and the gun in his hand was entangled in black smoke.At this time, the man who had fought all his life in the yellow sands of the west remembered the only words left by the Morgan family.

Death, not salvation.

Salvation is.
