Chapter 1182 Keya's Entrustment
"You beast! Ah——!!!" Chaska raised his head and let out a heart-wrenching roar.
At this moment, her eyes were red, and her body began to emit a faint smell of phlogiston uncontrollably.
Shao Yun looked at her like she was about to "go into a blood rage".
As gaseous phlogiston continued to emanate from Chaska's body, her body, which had been weighed down by the anesthetic, gradually regained its strength.
The violent operation of phlogiston actually metabolized the remaining anesthetic in the body!
The moment she regained her mobility, Chaska, like a wild animal freed from its bonds, rushed towards the cage that held Keya. She clutched the cold metal bars with both hands, straining with all her might.
"Sister! Don't listen to that guy's nonsense! He's a lunatic! I'll rescue you right now, and you and Xiaolong will be fine..."
"Mr. Shao Yun! Come over and help!"
While roaring, she turned around to look at Shao Yun. At this moment, she had no time to think too much and just wanted to rescue her sister and Xiaolong from this hellish cage as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Shao Yun subconsciously took two steps forward, and then noticed the alert Fatui and the members of Alpa's Huayu Society.
He paused, stopped his movements, and said to Chaska in a deep voice:
"Are you sure you want to force your way in now? There are so many Fatui and Hanahakai members around here. If I take action, they might suddenly attack me."
"I have to keep an eye on them and respond immediately. I can't be distracted to help you break the cage. What if they launch a surprise attack while I'm helping you?"
This sounds reasonable and is entirely based on safety considerations.
Moreover, Dotore had made it very clear that either one of the two dragons would survive or both would die; there was no possibility of both.
He didn't know how to control the fuel, so even if he opened the cage at the risk of being attacked, he couldn't change the current situation of the two dragons lacking fuel, and in the end it might all be in vain.
Instead of wasting effort, it is more practical to ensure Chaska's safety first.
I might die in a sudden attack, but if anything happens to Chaska, Kui will... go crazy!
Chaska glanced back at Shao Yun's vigilant back, then glanced at the Fatui who were watching him eagerly. He knew in his heart that someone really needed to keep an eye on the potential threat at this moment, and Shao Yun's choice was not an excuse.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the disappointment in her heart, and concentrated all her strength on her hands. While trying hard to pry the cold metal bars, she sobbed and persuaded Keya in the cage:
"No, sister, I beg you, don't do anything stupid! Dotore just wants to see us despair. We can't do what he wants. Wait a little longer, I will be able to open the cage soon!"
The metal railings creaked under her brute force, but only showed slight signs of deformation.
When Keya in the cage heard her sister's voice, she opened her eyes weakly, slowly spread her scarred wings, and made a hoarse cry to Chaska.
“Ugh… Ugh…”
(I'm sorry, Chaska. I didn't expect that our meeting after such a long time would be our last. I'm sorry that you worried about me.)
Chaska looked at her sister's weak appearance. She gritted her teeth and pulled the railing harder with her hands, holding on to the hope in her heart.
"No, it's not time to say goodbye yet! Look, the bars are starting to deform, and the cage will be open soon. Let's take the little dragon away from here together, okay?"
Keya shook her head slightly and let out another weak cry.
"Well……"
(I know my own situation. My phlogiston is almost depleted and I won’t be able to hold on for much longer.)
(My child is called Chimay, Chaska. Please help me raise her so that she can fly in the sky of Nata. Thank you, sister.)
"Don't entrust me with my child!" Chaska cried out in despair when he heard the farewell tone in his sister's words.
"I can't live without you, and your child Qimei can't live without you either! She's still so young and needs her mother by her side. How can you abandon her?"
Ke Ya felt sad when she saw her sister's collapse, but this was the reality.
She could clearly feel the phlogiston in her body dissipating, and her life was slowly approaching the end. Qimei in the other cage had begun to twitch, and her breath was getting weaker and weaker.
Maternal love finally overcame the instinct for survival. She slowly raised her head and moved her body to the extractor above the cage. Using her last bit of strength, she transported the remaining phlogiston in her body through the pipe towards Qimei.
Seeing Keya slowly approaching the extractor above the cage, Chaska used all his strength to desperately pry the bars apart, his voice hoarse and distorted with extreme anxiety.
"Sister! Wait! Just wait a little longer! I'm going to break the cage open soon! Don't fall for that beast Dotore's trick!!!"
The metal railings creaked harshly under her brute force, and the deformation became increasingly severe.
But this tiny hope failed to stop Keya.
Keya took one last look at Chaska who collapsed outside the cage, a trace of reluctance and apology flashed in her eyes, then she slowly closed her eyes and put her head completely on the extractor.
The little phlogiston left in the body, which was just enough to sustain life, slowly flowed out through the pipe and was transported to the cage where Qimei was imprisoned.
The orange-red phlogiston flowed in the pipe, like a faint but warm band of light, connecting the lives of mother and daughter.
If she could live, she wanted to live, to continue to be with Chaska and watch Chimei grow up.
But Dottorre's experiment had already ended her chance of survival. If only one of her children could survive, she chose to keep her child alive without hesitation. This was a mother's instinct and protection, ingrained in her bones.
As the remaining phlogiston drained from her body, Keya's body pressed against the cold bottom of the cage.
On the other side, Qimei's twitching body gradually stabilized after receiving her mother's phlogiston. She opened her eyes weakly and let out a childish whimper.
Qimei was saved, but Keya lay quietly in the cage, no longer moving, and closed her eyes forever.
Chaska was watching this scene outside the cage, and her childhood memories uncontrollably emerged in her mind.
When she was a child, Keya would take her to the stream to catch small fish; at night, she would wrap her in her warm wings to protect her from the sea breeze.
Every time she was wronged in the tribe and ran away, Keya would always appear first, rubbing her head against her cheek and comforting her...
The velvet pterosaur sister who had played with him and protected him since childhood, died in front of him?
This can't be real! It must be an illusion!
Chaska shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel this cruel reality from her mind, but the image of Keya's stiff body in the cage was deeply engraved in her eyes.
The despair, pain and regret accumulated in my heart completely erupted at this moment.
Chaska suddenly hugged his head and let out a heart-wrenching cry of pain: "Ahhhhh!!!"
Chaska's heart-wrenching wail was still echoing in the air when Dotore's voice suddenly rang out again from the loudspeaker. His tone was filled with the indifference and ease of someone who had just finished an experiment, as if it were just a routine matter.
"Alright, my 'Phlogiston Choice' experiment has yielded perfect data, and my research objective has been achieved."
"I'm leaving with the research materials. As for the remaining members, you're on your own."
These words were like a bombshell, shocking all the people belonging to Dotore present.
The researcher holding the microphone shouted in panic, "Doctor! You can't abandon us!"
"We collected data for you and guarded the experimental subjects. Even if we didn't receive any credit, we still worked hard. How could you leave us here to die?"
He originally thought that he was a trusted subordinate of the doctor, but he did not expect that from the beginning to the end, even he was just a "consumable" that could be discarded at any time.
The icy, temperatureless voice of Dottore came from the loudspeaker, completely shattering his fantasy.
"Science requires sacrifice. It is an honor for you to dedicate yourself to my research."
After saying this unkind remark, only the crackling sound of electricity remained in the loudspeaker. Dotole had obviously cut off the communication and disappeared with the research data.
The researcher stood there in a daze, and the microphone in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".
They became the doctor's "abandoned children" and the final "cannon fodder" of this experiment.
The surrounding Fatui soldiers and Alpa's Huayu Society confidants were also panicked, looking at each other.
At this moment, Shao Yun's voice broke the chaos. He walked over and glanced at every person who stayed behind.
"Now, it's time to solve your problem."
"I give you two choices. Either you lay down your weapons and let me tie you up, and then I'll hand you over to the Huayu Society and the arena authorities."
"Or prepare to fight to the bitter end, and then I'll shoot you to face the Great Spirit of Nata's tribe. Choose one."
His words instantly suppressed the panic in the scene and made all the remaining personnel clearly realize that the man in front of them was now in control of their life and death.
The researchers and Alpa's Hanahakai confidants looked at each other, all with the same idea in mind.
Dotorre has already run away, and now he has no backup. If he really fights Shao Yun head-on, given his ability, it would be a miracle if anyone can leave their bodies intact.
The thought "It is better to live a miserable life than to die" arises in everyone's mind.
After a few seconds, the first person put down his weapon, followed by the second, the third...
The researchers brought by the doctor, the soldiers of the Fatui, and the Huayu Society members of Alpa all put down their weapons, squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads, and allowed Shao Yun to walk forward and tie their hands and feet tightly with ropes.
After Dotole evacuated, the situation in the aerial workshop fell completely into Shao Yun's control.
The people of Huayu Society felt that they were just minions working for Elder Alpa, and were only responsible for catching dragons. At most, they would be locked up, but they would not die.
The Fatui thought that they were just security guards and that at most they would be expelled from Nata and never be allowed to enter the country again, or they would be locked up but not die.
Although some researchers have harmed the Velvet Pterosaur, they probably won't die if they throw the dirty water on the doctor.
After all, who has evidence to prove that he has harmed the Velvet Pterosaur? The Velvet Pterosaur can't speak.
