I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 263 His Decision
Geralt looked at Erend who had just saved him. After he killed the person who just wanted to kill him, Erend immediately disappeared somewhere.
Geralt was so sure it was Erend because he knew how tall he was.
He often beat and harassed him when he went to the military base to collect supplies.
There were so many questions in Geralt's mind about how Erend could have such power.
But now, the question doesn't matter right now. Because he needed to save himself as soon as possible.
Geralt stood up and felt an excruciating pain in his thigh.
Geralt looked around. Everything is a complete mess.
'I can't do anything to them in a situation like this, right?'
Geralt walked to get closer to the helicopter. The helicopter was now flying quite low.
It must have been because the pilot wanted to make it easier for the gunners in the helicopter to get to their targets.
"Hey! Over here!" Geralt shouted as he waved his hand at the helicopter.
Then someone's head appeared and looked down at him from above.
A moment later a rope was thrown down.
Geralt immediately approached the rope and hooked his hook into it.
He didn't realize that from behind him two infected soldiers were running toward him with daggers and machetes.
Geralt was too busy hooking his hook to the rope in panic. So that the hook is difficult to attach to the rope.
"Come on!"
Geralt gritted his teeth because the hook would not attach.
Until finally he managed to hook it to the rope. But the two infected soldiers were already behind him and were swinging their weapons.
"I'm done!" exclaimed Geralt. "Pull the rope!"
Suddenly two daggers and a machete hit Geralt's shoulder.
"Arghh! Fuck!"
Geralt turned and saw that his two attackers had drawn their weapons again and were preparing to swing them again.
*BANG!*
*BANG!*
But two shots were coming from above him. The bullets hit the heads of the two soldiers and immediately made them fall helplessly onto the floor of the ship.
Blood was gushing out of their hollow heads.
"I'm gonna pull you up, Major!" Adrien asked.
Fortunately, there is a piece of plate armor that protects Geralt's shoulder.
So that the swings of the two sharp weapons did not immediately split his shoulder. Geralt can still move his hand to check the hook again.
"Quickly pull me!" Geralt shouted.
He looked back but didn't see any other soldiers running towards him and wanted to kill him.
Geralt then felt a tug on his rope. He is pulled by the pulley.
Once he was in the helicopter, Geralt breathed a sigh of relief.
Adrien and Billy immediately picked up their rifle again and started shooting.
"Major, what about the other soldiers?" Billy asked.
"You have any suggestions?" Geralt asked.
Billy glanced at Adrien. Then he looked back at Geralt again.
"No. How about you as the leader of this operation?" Billy asked.
Then Geralt looked at Billy. "What do you think I can do about what's happening below?"
"But-"
"Shut your mouth! I didn't see you guys coming down, so I know you guys didn't go boarding the ship."
Geralt looked at Adrien and Billy.
"If you don't say anything, I won't say anything about you either. How is that?" Geralt said.
Adrien and Billy looked at each other. But they didn't say anything to Geralt.
Instead, they whispered to one another.
"What about Erend?" Billy asked.
"He will be fine. He must be looking for a way to deal with this now," Adrien replied.
Billy said nothing more. He hoped that Erend would indeed be okay.
Moreover, they had seen that Erend jumped into the sea.
He jumped into the sea without thinking for long.
From up here, Erend seemed to already know what he had to do. So he didn't waste any time.
After killing several infected soldiers who were blocking his path, he immediately jumped into the sea.
Based on what happened before, Erend was always able to handle the problem.
Billy and Adrien felt that Erend had indeed grown stronger than before. Even though the previous Erend was already powerful.
Adrien and Billy continued to shoot and provide assistance to the struggling soldiers.
They left questions and worries about this situation for now.
"Hey, pilot! Let's go back to base," Geralt ordered while placing a bandage on his thigh.
The pilot and copilot turned to Geralt with worried faces.
"A-Are you sure, sir?" asked the pilot.
"Yes!" Says Geralt. "Hurry! We can't do anything here!"
"We can still wait for the other soldiers to come up here, sir!" Billy said.
Geralt stared at him. "Who? Did you see any possible survivors down there?"
"We must try to save them!" Billy seems to want to point his rifle at Geralt because of his selfish decision.
"We're just wasting fuel. There's no hope for them anymore!" Geralt said. "You want to survive, or do you want to join them?"
Adrien and Billy gritted their teeth. But what Geralt said was true.
They couldn't really do anything to save the soldiers trapped down there. There are too many infected soldiers.
They both knew that there was no medicine in this world that would be able to treat the influence of the evil Magic that was infecting the soldiers.
If there is a way, the only way is with Erend. Someone they could most hope for in a matter like this.
"We don't have to worry about Erend," Adrien said to Billy.
Billy nodded reluctantly.
It started raining. Begin with a small drizzle of water that falls regularly.
The helicopter started to move away from that location.
Adrien and Billy stared at the soldiers who were almost certain they would die there.
Fortunately, they didn't have too close a connection with the soldiers. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎
They only know each other for the sake of this training. That made Adrien and Billy less sad to see them being slaughtered like that.
It's just that, they both understand that these soldiers have families waiting for them at home like the two of them. And they regret their fate to be like this.
