272: The Agreement between Sayid and Su Mulan

Su Mulan frowned, feeling Sayyid's hand on her arm, and asked in confusion: "Old Sai, what are you talking about?"

"It's already a fight, we definitely have to go help!"

"What if they can't win?"

"You're so strong, and I'm also very strong!"

"Strong people should naturally stand in front of them!"

"Just like you saved me back then!"

Sayyid's hand, holding Su Mulan's arm, paused slightly.

Then Sayyid shook his head.

"This is two different things."

"If you go, you'll just be throwing your life away."

Sayyid pulled Su Mulan back to the bench, intending to tell her about the countless worlds' failures he had witnessed over the past million years.

But just as he started speaking, Su Mulan raised her hand and slapped Sayyid's hand away.

"What next world? I'm not going."

"You adults are all like this, always thinking you know more than children."

"With great power comes great responsibility, even a child like me has heard that!"

"Even if they are very strong."

"If we don't try, are we just going to hide and wait to die?"

Su Mulan's tone gradually changed.

She didn't understand why her most admired Uncle Sai had become a coward.

After expressing all her thoughts in one breath, Su Mulan busied herself with packing her equipment, no longer paying attention to Sayyid.

The latter did not try to stop her again.

Instead, he stood completely stunned.

Especially when Su Mulan said, 'If we don't try, are we just going to wait to die?'

Sayyid had heard this sentence many times.

Both the former Liu Yan and the current Liu Yan had said it.

Sayyid laughed self-mockingly.

Yes... what was he doing?

He didn't know when it started.

Every time it came to a decisive battle, he would try to dissuade the people he cared about.

He didn't want to see them die in front of him.

If he couldn't dissuade them, he would choose to avoid it, not to watch.

He had once asked Liu Yan if he wanted him to go with him.

But at that time, he knew that the other party would refuse... In the end, it was just to comfort himself... How long would this go on?

Those people were all his friends, his confidants.

But at the time of the decisive battle, he had never been by their side, fighting alongside them.

Since they would die no matter what.

Then why didn't he, at the time of their death, send them off on their last journey?

To accompany them to fight a damn Hafke to their heart's content!

Su Mulan, who was organizing her equipment nearby, suddenly paused.

She heard that Sayyid's heart rate and blood flow were gradually increasing.

Sayyid slowly rose from the bench and picked up the m249 light machine gun leaning against the armrest.

Hearing Sayyid's movements, a look of joy instantly appeared on Su Mulan's face.

"Old Sai! I knew you weren't a coward!"

Su Mulan happily stood up, leaped up, and hugged Sayyid like a koala.

The latter raised his hand and patted Su Mulan's head twice.

"First, let's be clear."

"I can go with you, and I can also let you participate in this battle."

Su Mulan nodded happily after hearing that, her speed no different from mashing garlic.

"But."

Sayyid's tone changed.

"When this world fails, you must use the heart of africa to wish to go to the next world."

Su Mulan puffed out her cheeks, not answering.

Seeing Su Mulan's reaction, Sayyid was not surprised.

"If you don't promise me."

"Not only will I not go with you, but I also won't let you go."

Hearing Sayyid's unrefusable tone, Su Mulan reluctantly nodded.

"Alright then."

Seeing Su Mulan agree, Sayyid picked up Su Mulan, who was hanging on him, and placed her on the ground.

Looking at Su Mulan's tender face, Sayyid thought for a moment, then finally sighed and extended a hand.

"Pinky promise..."

For Su Mulan, this was the only way Sayyid could think of to ensure she wouldn't go back on her word.

Although the first time Su Mulan asked to pinky promise with him, Sayyid felt extremely ashamed.

But for children, sometimes this is more effective than other promises.

"You don't trust me!"

"You actually took the initiative to suggest a pinky promise!"

Hearing Sayyid extend his hand, Su Mulan's expression immediately changed.

But she still extended her hand and hooked Sayyid's finger.

"Pinky promise, hang a hundred years, no changing, no, never changing!"

After the pinky promise, Su Mulan quickly broke free from Sayyid's hand and walked to the side to put on her organized backpack.

Then she turned around and urged Sayyid: "Hurry up, hurry up! We'll be too late if we don't!"

After speaking, Su Mulan ran out in a hurry.

Sayyid easily caught up with Su Mulan in a few steps.

The two ran out of Bakshi and stopped when they returned to the streets of Xia Guo.

She realized a problem.

Where did they start fighting?

Seeing Su Mulan stop, Sayyid also stopped in confusion.

"Old Sai, where did they start fighting?"

Hearing this question, Sayyid's expression under his mask was a bit speechless.

"How would I know?"

Su Mulan's mouth gradually widened; she hadn't expected that Sayyid, like her, also didn't know the battle location.

"I almost forgot, you used to be a coward."

Su Mulan raised her hand and tapped her head.

Hearing the words 'coward' again, Sayyid's eyes twitched a few times involuntarily.

Those four words were too unpleasant.

"My not knowing the battle location has nothing to do with that."

"And in the very beginning worlds, I also participated."

"I don't know because the battle location is different in every world!"

"Some worlds even have their decisive battles in desert areas."

This answer made Su Mulan, who was originally full of enthusiasm, slump her shoulders.

"Then what should we do...?"

Su Mulan's voice was a bit despairing.

"Oh, right! We can make a wish!"

Su Mulan immediately pulled out the heart of africa.

Seeing this, Sayyid's pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly stopped Su Mulan.

"What are you kidding about?"

"You're going to use something as important as the heart of africa as a map?"

"In the blink of an eye, have you forgotten what you just promised me in the Babel Tower?"

"Put it away!"

Facing Sayyid's scolding, Su Mulan pouted and put away the heart of africa.

Then she asked, at a loss: "Then what should we do?"

"Xia Guo is so big, how do we know where they started fighting? If we're late, we won't be able to help!"

"Or... can you smell them out?!"

Su Mulan turned her head towards Sayyid expectantly.

Looking at Su Mulan, Sayyid turned his head away in annoyance.

Su Mulan was a typical case of imbalanced skills.

Whenever Sayyid taught her all sorts of techniques, he couldn't help but marvel at her immense talent.

But it seemed Su Mulan was only good at this one thing.

"Mulan, many things don't actually need to be so complicated."

"Think about it, would Xia Guo's guard Soldiers... combat personnel, usually gather in large groups?"

"Even if they gathered, would they happen to appear at the battle location?"

Facing Sayyid's questions, Su Mulan shook her head.

"That's right," Sayyid continued.

"Now that the alarm has sounded, any guard... combat personnel will rush to the same destination."

"Either a battlefield or a gathering point."

Seeing Su Mulan's half-understanding expression, Sayyid gave up on making her think for herself and directly stated the answer.

"Ask for directions and then go with them."

The simplest is the best.

This was the most effective and simplest method right now!

Su Mulan's mouth unconsciously widened after hearing this, then her surprise turned into delight.

"That's right! We just need to find them and go with them!"

Sayyid nodded.

"Listen for any particularly urgent footsteps nearby, then follow them and ask."

"If they're combat personnel, we just follow."

After Sayyid spoke, Su Mulan nodded heavily.

Then, she stood still, held her breath, and listened carefully to the surrounding sounds.

A few seconds later, Su Mulan raised her left hand and pointed in a direction, saying: "There's someone running very fast over there, about 1200 meters from us."

"Good, follow him."

As Sayyid's voice fell, the two of them sprinted in that direction, one after the other.
