Everyone in the Delta, I am just Asara?

Chapter 187 Sayid's Monologue

"I was born in a nomadic tent on the edge of the ancient city of Zalvat."

"My father was a guard on a camel caravan, and my mother was the best flute player in our tribe."

"Although my father traveled with the camel caravan all year round, every time he came home, he would take me horseback riding and fishing."

"Every time my father and I were playing, my mother would play the nursery rhyme that filled my childhood on the Nayi flute. Even now, that carefree melody can still ring in my mind from time to time."

"My childhood was very happy, very happy..."

Sayid paused, his voice choking slightly.

Wang Genzheng didn't say anything, but reached out and patted Sayid's shoulder.

This is Sayyid's monologue, and all he has to do is be a good listener.

"But when I was 12, everything changed."

"The exploration team of the Harfk Company burned our ranch with incendiary bombs."

"The tent where my mother was was hit by a firebomb. I heard her screams of pain and rushed into the burning tent and dragged her out, who had already been burned to death."

Sayid placed his hand on his mask as he spoke.

With slightly trembling hands, he pinched the buckles on both sides of the mask and then slowly took it off.

It was a face covered in scars, with protruding veins crisscrossing each other, like twisted earthworms bulging out of the skin.

In some places, the skin is wrinkled together, forming deep grooves.

In some places, ugly lumps of flesh appeared, which were purple-red in color and had an unpleasant luster.

As Sayid took off his mask, the air around him seemed to freeze.

Although this was not the first time he saw Lao Sai's true face.

But I still feel scared when I see you again.

"My father was hit by a stray bullet while trying to protect the livestock. I held his body and hid behind the sand dunes for three days and three nights, enduring the pain."

"I still remember those days in the desert when the sad and painful melody of the Nayi flute first sounded."

"Until the rebels of Yusuf Asara rode across the scorched earth."

"I gripped the strings of my father's oud and strangled the first Hafk soldier!"

Sayid clenched his fists on his knees, and Wang Genzheng could see the distinct blue veins on them.

“That was my first encounter with Yusuf.”

"He stared at my blood-stained face and said, 'Hatred requires a blade. Child, follow me.'"

"He handed me a pocket watch engraved with the insignia of the Asara Guard."

"It is said that power is the law of the desert. Join us, and you will no longer be protecting a few broken wells and livestock, but the future of the entire kingdom."

"His words touched my heart."

"I will take revenge on Hafk."

"I put on the armor and took over my first M249."

"It's a hundred times heavier than the hunting crossbow my father left me, but it made me see the truth."

"So-called freedom is nothing but an illusion bestowed by the powerful."

Sayid poured himself a glass of tequila and drank it all in one gulp, suppressing the pain in his heart.

The path of the strong is difficult to walk.

It was so difficult that he couldn't fall asleep on countless nights.

It wasn't the pain from injuries from training and combat.

But it was the hatred that was always engraved in his heart that whipped him all the time.

Unfortunately, until today, he has not yet completed his revenge.

"The M249's belt-strike was the death knell for Harfk."

"The fire of incendiary bombs is the dawn that ignites for Asara."

"When the group of Harfk's helicopters circled over Dam Zero like vultures."

"I have been promoted to one of the three commanders of the guard."

"Yousef began to have frequent private conversations with Hafq's representatives, saying this was a necessary compromise, just like the one he had with GTI."

"I didn't understand it at that time, until that rainy night."

"I intercepted an encrypted document in the East Building's manager's office. Yusuf had already sold the coordinates of Asara's ancient ruins to Hafk."

"In exchange, I received not only a light machine gun and level 5 armor-piercing bullets, but also the immortality transformation promised by Dr. Rometheus."

"hehe."

"I smashed Yusuf's most treasured enamel tea set, but he stroked the brain-computer interface on the back of his head and sneered."

"'Do you think you're really a Desert Eagle? You're just a hunting dog trained by Hafk!'"

"That night, I retreated to the dam with my closest associates. The bullet holes on the walls of the West Administration Building still bear the traces of our fierce battle."

"Yousef appealed to the GTI on behalf of the rebels."

"That was also our first encounter with GTI. The battle took place in the thick smoke after the substation explosion."

"Those special operators wore exoskeleton armor I had never seen before, their laser sights crisscrossing like spider webs in the night."

"I rolled to avoid the dragon's tiger crouch cannon, and the electric arrow grazed my cloak and nailed into the concrete wall."

"That's Luna. Her tactical goggles reflect the same cold light I saw when I strangled Hafk."

"I thought GTI would be our ally, but I didn't expect them to be just a bunch of spies spying on the world."

"Azara's resources are also their target of plunder."

"It just sounds better than Hafk."

"GTI operators say I'm like a ghost, always able to flash out from ventilation ducts or fire escapes and block their escape routes with incendiary bombs."

"But they don't know that every time I pull the trigger, I'm also waiting for a bullet to kill me."

"Perhaps it was Luna's arrow, perhaps it was Red Wolf's grenade, or perhaps it was Hamk's armor-piercing bullet fired from the ancient city."

“Sometimes I’d dig through the gear boxes of fallen operators and find photos of their families or unsent letters.”

"One recruit had a graphics card in his pocket with a label on the back that said 'buy medicine for my sister'."

"I threw it into the fire just as easily as I burned Hafk's contract."

"In this desert, weakness is more deadly than radiation."

"I led my guards with unwavering determination to resist the Havk invasion. If it weren't for the strategic significance and unique location of Dam Zero, which prevented the use of heavy weapons, we would have been wiped out by the combined attack long ago."

"Fortunately, the barrier has arrived."

"That was Asara's hope. I always thought so."

"But the people of Asara say that I am their hope."

“Many people live in the past, but the past is often the least important.”

"From that moment on, I stopped living for hatred and truly lived for the people of Asara."

"The reason I wear a mask is not because I can't face my own frightening face, but because I'm worried about scaring the children."

"I still remember the first time I entered the restricted area, all I had with me was the crossbow my father left me."

"That was also the first time I was engulfed by the Uluru firebomb in the restricted area."

"That reminded me of the most painful day in my life."

"I thought I was dead, but when I opened my eyes again, I was back to reality."

"And I also have an extra incendiary bomb on me that I can carry into the restricted area."

"I think, as a boss, my skills come from my obsession and experience."

Sayid looked at Wang Genzheng, tears already wet his face.

On that terrifying face was a smile of relief and joy.

"You will become stronger. Don't worry. Everything will be fine."

"Just like I've been waiting for you."

"They say I am the hound of this desert, the last watcher of Asara."

"But the moment you showed up, I knew."

"I'm not alone anymore."

Chapter 188 Prepare to upgrade

“Sigh…sigh…”

Noticing the movement around him, Lao Ma turned his head and glanced at Sang Biao who was standing beside him.

Although Sang Biao was wearing a helmet, it could be seen from his slowly twitching body that he was obviously drunk.

Just suppressing myself from exploding.

"Eh~"

Lao Ma sighed and reached out to pat Sang Biao on the shoulder.

Although I was standing outside the door, I could still hear most of the noise coming from inside.

Sang Biao and Said are from the same village, and his parents also died in a incendiary bomb.

It was basically the same as what happened to Sayid.

The families of other guard members were also more or less harmed by Hafk.

This was also the reason why the people of Asara resolutely followed Sayyid and left when Yusuf betrayed them.

Even though they knew clearly at that time that life would be more difficult than before.

"Sang Biao, you should be happy."

Seeing Sang Biao's puzzled look, Lao Ma said with a smile.

"With Wuying here, every day that follows will bring us one step closer to our goals."

"We will make Hafk feel the pain that once belonged only to us."

No matter how old Lao Ma is, he has much richer life experience and has a lot of ways to comfort people.

Sang Biao's thinking process was relatively short, and he was instantly won over by Lao Ma's chicken soup.

"I am Sang Biao, and I swear to protect Wuying until my death."

Lao Ma smiled and silently shouted in his heart.

In the manager's room.

After listening to Lao Sai's self-narration, Wang Genzheng didn't know what he was thinking.

People are sometimes very strange and are always changed in some unintentional moments.

Maybe it's seeing a sports car you dreamed of when you were young on the road.

Maybe it was at some moment that I discovered my own ordinariness.

Or suddenly realize that you have grown up.

Or maybe the parents are getting old.

The life of an ordinary person is always hurried and hectic.

But compared to those who were displaced and lost their loved ones in the face of war.

What do these mean?
