Mo Xifeng couldn't believe that her sister was actually turning her back on those who needed her help. She inhaled sharply before asking again, "Are you really going to run away?"
How could her sister do this? So many people were in need of their help. How could she leave them like this?
"Hang on!"
"Move! Move! If you don't move, then we will be killed."
More chaotic screams echoed behind them, and Mo Qiang gritted her teeth before saying to Mo Xifeng, "You have lost your mind; can you not see the situation? These Zerg bats can mutate with each attack, and the processing of the blood trees is not finished. If we don't run, we will be killed by them."
"We should think of a way to hide for now and then come up with a way to deal with this situation. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us; it was Yu Xinyi who betrayed her mother. What does that have to do with us?"
"Not to mention we did not know about the cause and effect of this situation. I was asked to find a way to keep these bats away from the city, which I have done. There was no such clause as fighting them and trying to protect these people."
"How can you leave them alone?" Mo Xifeng felt disappointed in her sister. She thought that her sister was slowly changing, but she was still the same?
"I am not leaving them alone!" Mo Qiang turned and glared at Mo Xifeng. "This is called tactical retreat. We cannot fight these things, so we might as well wait until we can find a way to deal with these Zerg bats. Anyway, Countess Yu Gen has guards and weapons to deal with these monsters. Even if we do not help her, she will survive, and if the others are lucky, they will too!"
Mo Qiang was not being selfish. She was being practical; she knew very well how dangerous this situation was. Only a fool would take charge of this situation and she was not a fool.
Anyways, she was called to this dimension because they wanted her to work for them. Neither of them had any close relationship with one another; why should she put her life on the line for them?
Mo Qiang had grown up alone. She was an orphan who was often ridiculed and scolded by others; sometimes a few kindhearted people would help, but they would only do what they could; they would never go out of their way to save her life!
During those times, she only learnt one thing, and that was to keep her own interests safe, and other than that, nothing else matters.
Though she had grown closer to her family, Mo Qiang was not a Holy Mother. Why should she put her life at risk for strangers? Who were they to her? No one!
Not to mention, she was feeling really weird, as if her heart was about to fall out of her chest. The pain in her body was not something that Mo Qiang could ignore.
Mo Xifeng, on the other hand, looked at Mo Qiang with a disappointed look on her face.
'Really, she is not making fun. She really wants to run away,' Mo Xifeng thought with a frown. In fact, she knew that her sister was not joking, and she really meant it. However, she chose not to believe it. She had seen her sister show great tenacity and wit in the moment of crisis. She was the kind of woman who had never turned her back on any kind of difficulty.
But this time around –
"Let's go; what are you waiting for?" Mo Xifeng heard her sister say to her. "The city people will be fine; you don't need to play the hero here."
