Chapter 619: Brief Respite
Chapter 619: Brief Respite
Moreover, if Steve had not reacted quickly and discovered Ichimaru Gin's intention in advance, he would have used that invincible Vibranium Shield to block Shinso's fatal blow. Perhaps this straightforward man's head had already been separated from his body.
The ground was dyed red with fresh blood. Jidanbo covered the position of his broken arm. Cold sweat oozed out of his face. He bit his lips tightly, not letting himself scream out.
Nemu, who had kept everything in his eyes, could not help but sigh at this moment. He thought that Ichimaru Gin was too ruthless. He said that it was just a little scratch. There was no need to do this.
"It's too cruel."
Peter clenched his fists at the side. The smile on his face was completely gone. "Aren't they companions? Why are they so ruthless to their own people?"
Frank's eyelids drooped. He turned back and looked at the door silently. There was an inexplicable disappointment in his eyes. "This is... Soul Society?"
"He bleed alot!" Natasha frowned and said worriedly, "We don't have much medicine with such a big wound. Considering the battle on the back."
She did not finish her sentence, but the rest of the people understood what she meant.
The next battle would definitely be even more intense, and they didn't have much medicine on them. If they used all of them on the Jidanbo, it would mean that they wouldn't have any medicine to replenish their supplies in the future battles.
Save or not?
As experienced agent, Barton and Natasha were more inclined to not save him. Exchanging one person for the entire team was undoubtedly a loss.
"Do we have to watch him die like this?" Peter was kind-hearted and could not bear to see Jidanbo die in front of him.
"Take all of us and change to another person?" Barton frowned, "I know you are kind, but the problem now is that we have to preserve our strength, especially these supplies. It is impossible for S. H. I. E. L. D. to send a second batch!"
"Peter, sometimes we have to make such a cruel choice." Natasha showed a hint of self-mockery on her face. "Between completing the task and the companions, making a choice is a problem that agent must experience. There are too few potions. We can't waste them on a person we just met."
"Have you forgotten?" Peter gritted his teeth and said, "If he didn't open the door for us, how could Jidanbo be injured?"
"Save him!"
At this time, Steve stood up and said in a tough tone as a leader, "No matter what, we have to save Jidanbo. He helped us."
As the leader of the team, Captain America spoke. Even if Barton and Natasha were unwilling, they could only choose to listen to his judgment.
"I hope you won't regret it." Barton took a deep look at the American team, and then took out twelve potions from his backpack and handed them to Peter. "One at a time. After injecting it, it can quickly coagulate the wounds."
Peter took the medicine and walked to the side of the unconscious Jidanbo. He carefully injected the medicine into it.
Jidanbo was much larger than ordinary people, so it took seven and eight of them to condense the wounds on the broken arm into scabs. At the same time, the medicine had a strong blood increasing effect. Therefore, Jidanbo, which had lost too much blood, woke up very quickly.
"How is it? How do you feel?"
Steve patted Jidanbo and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. If not for helping us, you wouldn't have lost a hand."
"Thank you for saving me." Jidanbo touched his broken arm and shook his head. "Meeting Captain Ichimaru Gin, it is good to be alive, just one hand is nothing."
"In fact, you don't have to worry too much."
Nemu came over with her hands behind her back and said, "Technological Development Department's Limb Repairing Serum, can regenerate lost limbs. When you go to Seireitei, steal one for him."
Technological Development Department?
Peter secretly remembered this in his heart. He thought that he could go there to take a look and steal a Limb Repairing Serum from Jidanbo.
"But... How do we get in? Even if Jidanbo can open again, that guy..." Steve looked at the door and thought of the man who was as cold as a poisonous snake. He felt scared.
"I never planned to let you go through the front door." Nemu curled her lips and said, "Who knew that you would have to try. As a result, you met Ichimaru Gin. It is already the best result to be alive."
"You mean that we have other ways to go in?" Steve asked in surprise.
"Of course."
Nemu put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "If you hadn't been disobedient, we wouldn't have had to fight Ichimaru Gin at all!"
"Uh."
When this was said, everyone blushed a little.
Indeed, if not for the fact that they didn't listen to their advice and insisted on entering through this main entrance, they wouldn't have met Ichimaru Gin at all, and they wouldn't have let Jidanbo lose an arm, so they were all asking for it.
"Sorry, Nemu."
Steve was deeply aware of the consequences of being impulsive. "We were too impulsive just now. What is the second way?"
"This method is a little risky."
Nemu raised a finger and said, "First of all, what we need to do is find a place to stay, have a good rest, have a good meal, and then talk about this."
Steve did not keep up with her train of thought for a moment. After a few seconds, he looked hesitant. "But... Tony."
"Aiya, it's fine!"
Nemu waved her hand and said, "We still have at least a week. There's no need to be in such a hurry. Moreover, everyone has consumed a lot of energy, and so is your Spiritual Power. Even if we go in, we will be courting death."
"Captain, Miss Nemu is right." Natasha walked forward and advised, "We have just entered Soul Society. Not only do we need to rest, we also need a lot of information. We can't be too anxious."
"Yes, I agree."
Frank, who had been silent all this time, nodded slightly to show that he agreed with Natasha's suggestion. He looked at Steve and said, "You are too anxious. This is not a team leader. You should have a mentality and level."
Steve was silent for half a second. Looking back at his previous decision, there was indeed a sense of impatience and even a little unreasonable.
"Alright, I admit that I was a little too anxious. Everyone's physical strength is indeed exhausted. Let's find a place to stay first today and then discuss what to do next," Steve said.
"I think I can provide you with a place to live." When they heard this, they warmly said, "Although it's a bit simple, there is still a full meal."
...
Everyone followed Jidanbo to his residence on Rukongai. On the way, they also went deeper and learned about Soul Society's situation.
Jidanbo lived in an area close to the front. The area of the house was not small, and because of his size, it could be said to be very spacious, and it could accommodate a dozen people.
At night, Soul Society, the temperature was a little cold. Everyone sat around the fire in the house and discussed the next action.
Until late at night, he fell asleep.
Steve sat on the stone bench outside the room and looked in the direction of Seireitei. No one could see what he was thinking on his face.
"I know you are not asleep."
Frank did not sleep either. He walked to his side and sat down. He asked, "Are you thinking about Tony, or what happened during the day?"
"Yes."
Steve was silent for a few seconds and said in a low voice, "How much do you think the few of us can save Tony?"
"Ah, almost zero."
Frank shook his head and sighed. "We are just a bunch of sword. The key to whether or not we can save Tony lies in the person controlling sword."
"Lod Carl?"
Steve had a complicated look in his eyes. Under the moonlight, his face was full of worry and seriousness. "Why do you think he wants to save Tony more than we do?"
"The reason is very simple."
Frank patted him on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "That is, there must be a secret hidden on Tony. He did not want Soul Society to get it."
"Take one step, take one step."
Steve rubbed his temples and sighed, "I hope that we can go smoothly next and not cause any more trouble."
