Chapter 298 Return! Xizhao!
Chapter 298 Return! Xizhao!
Meizhen gently persuaded Jersey to let go of his thoughts. Then, with mixed emotions in her heart, she touched the screen and ended the call with Jersey.
In times of national crisis, one needs a good general; in times of poverty, one needs a virtuous wife; when there is work, one needs Zhong Wuyan; when there is nothing to do, one needs Xia Yingchun.
After a little hesitation, Meizhen resolutely dialed Xizhao's number, her eyes fixed on the flashing communication interface, her fingers unconsciously tightened.
On the other end of the phone, Xizhao's voice came through with a hint of surprise and indifference: "Meizhen, it's me, what's the matter?"
A warm current surged in Meizhen's heart, and she quickly adjusted her breathing, "Xi Zhao, I need your help. This is very important to me."
Xizhao's voice revealed a bit of solemnity: "Tell me about it."
Meizhen took a deep breath and slowly explained Jersey's situation: "Jersey, he suffered a serious injury and can no longer summon the armor. The connection with the Golden Shadow Stone has also been cut off. At this critical moment, I... I hope you can serve as the summoner of the Snow Mastiff Armor again."
When she said this, her voice trembled slightly, knowing that this request was very important. However, she had to do so due to the circumstances.
Xi Zhao heard this, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. He slowly said: "Mei Zhen, you know that the gap between me and the Armor Team 2 is insurmountable."
Meizhen sensed his hesitation and pleaded in her tone: "Xi Zhao, I know this request is difficult, but the Shadow Guardians have returned, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for Team 2 to resist with their current strength. You are an indispensable force for us, and I implore you to step forward for the sake of the overall situation."
Her voice was full of expectation and determination. She hoped that this sincerity could move Xizhao and make him reconsider his decision.
Xi Zhao frowned, the revival of the Shadow Protector's strength was undoubtedly a bombshell that made it impossible for him to stay out of it.
He sighed deeply, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes, which was helplessness towards the past and determination towards the future.
"I understand your concerns, Meizhen." He said in a deep voice, "I will take on my responsibilities and summon the Snow Mastiff Armor again, but I cannot fight alongside them."
Meizhen was relieved when she heard that. She responded gratefully, "Xi Zhao, your decision means a lot to me. As long as you can stand up, it's enough. As for Team 2, I will do my best to coordinate and ensure the operation goes smoothly."
Xi Zhao nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will be ready and on standby at any time."
Xizhao's joining undoubtedly added a touch of color to the battle and allowed Meizhen to see the dawn of victory.
......
The breeze blew gently, and the lake surface was covered with fine ripples. Jersey sat alone by the river, gazing deeply at the seemingly tranquil waters, and casually picked up a stone with his fingertips and gently threw it into the distance.
The stone touched the water surface, making a crisp "plop" sound, and then circles of delicate ripples slowly spread out in all directions.
"Jersey, I heard... that you lost the ability to summon armor?" An anxious voice broke the silence around him, and Bei Kai walked over quickly, his eyes full of concern.
Jersey slowly turned his head and met Beikai's gaze, forcing a bitter smile from the corner of his mouth: "It is true. Ever since I was ambushed by Evil Jin, I have lost that power and can no longer embark on the journey of battle with you."
"Are you... okay?" Bei Kai reached out his hand worriedly and gently placed it on Jersey's shoulder. He knew very well what this news meant to Jersey, and was even more worried about how he would bear it.
Jersey responded with extraordinary openness: "Don't worry, I have accepted the reality. Although we can no longer fight side by side, our hearts are always connected."
"Jersey, I'm really sorry for my harsh words before." Fang Zhong approached with deep apology, looking at Jersey with sincerity in his eyes.
"Fang Zhong, we have been through so much training together, and we already know each other's personalities very well." Jersey smiled slightly, his tone full of understanding and tolerance, "I naturally won't mind your unintentional words."
"Jersey, please rest assured." Diannan had quietly stood beside Jersey without knowing when, and Wendong followed closely behind. Together, they gave Jersey firm support.
"Even if you can no longer summon the armor, all of us will carry your power and continue to fight against evil to the end!"
When Jersey heard this, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he gave them an affirmative nod.
However, behind this determination, there was a subtle worry. "But," he hesitated for a moment, turned his gaze to Dian Nan, and said with a hint of struggle in his tone.
"Regarding the plan for that child, I really have a hard time deciding. Using innocent lives as bait, this..."
Fang Zhong saw this and his expression became extremely firm: "Jersey, this is a sacrifice we must make. In the face of greater justice, personal mercy often seems insignificant. Our goal is to completely eliminate the Shadow Guardians and protect the peace of this world. If we hesitate because of soft-heartedness, more innocent lives will be threatened."
"Yes, Jersey." Wen Dong also agreed, "We can't ignore the broader responsibilities and missions because of momentary emotions. Although the child is innocent, he will be the key to our defeat of the Shadow Guardian."
Jersey smiled bitterly and shook his head gently: "I am not afraid of sacrifice, but the child has nothing to do with us. I feel uneasy about being innocently dragged into this dispute."
"Jersey, protecting the world is everyone's responsibility." Diannan looked at Jersey, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.
"But the reality is cruel. Most people do not have the power to directly fight against the mutants. That is why we became armored warriors and stood on the front line of protection."
Jersey's tone was a little more worried. "Is it too heavy to impose this responsibility on innocent people, especially that child? Should we find a more stable method?"
"Jersey, I understand your concerns." Although Diannan's tone was light, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
"But at this critical moment, we must make difficult choices. Risk is the only way to success. We cannot give up the opportunity to save more people because we are afraid of risks."
"Dian Nan is right," Fang Zhong, who was standing beside Jersey, took over the conversation. His voice was cold but full of determination. "If we stand still because we are afraid of risks, then we will never be able to defeat the Shadow Guardian, let alone protect this world."
Jersey was silent for a moment, struggling internally. He knew his mission as an armored warrior and understood the determination of his companions. But the safety of that child was always like a huge rock weighing on his heart.
"Okay," Jersey finally sighed and made a decision, "but we have to make sure everything is safe and that the child will not be harmed in any way."
"Of course," Dian Nan nodded in agreement, "We will make a careful plan to ensure everything is under control."
Jersey nodded. Although he still felt uneasy, he knew that this was a step they had to take. In order to protect this world, they had no other choice.
