MTL - Overturned Tower-v2 Chapter 73 Xiaoya: I don't want to die
【Overturned Tower】【】
"Ha...ho...
Xiaoya panted heavily, her vision blurred.
can not breath.
Can't move.
His eyes seemed to be clouded over, and everything in front of his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist.
Because of the blood loss, she felt her body was cold, and because of the violent heat, she felt some fiery needles pricking her body. She lay on the cold floor, but felt it was so hot, scorching herself like an iron plate.
She could no longer feel her fish tail.
— but she can see.
Her beautiful, pure white fish tail was within his vision.
Its cross-section appears to have been roasted, revealing a pale white color of cooked meat. And at the scorched, detached scales, you can see how it was cut off.
She also remembered...it was a beam of light. A light she could not forget.
That was not an attack aimed at Xiaoya at all. She is just the innocent people being affected. When the laser light reached her, it was almost close to the ground. If she stepped back a meter or two, she might not be injured at all.
But there is no if.
Xiaoya's fish tail was cut off immediately, and she fell to the ground in embarrassment. Like a fish being grilled on an iron plate.
But so far, she still feels that she is lucky,
—Because the owner of this shop died in front of her now.
He was a few steps closer than Xiaoya, and was about to pull down the shutter door. Although that would prevent them from observing the outside and thus avoiding some attacks, civilians like them did not have the strength to avoid such attacks.
In this way, at least they will not be discovered and attacked by those lunatics.
But the shutter door did not fall at all. Because before the boss arrived at the door, he was swept by the same laser beam, and his whole body was directly swept away.
At that time, he still didn't die, and didn't even faint immediately. He let out a miserable wail in such pain, and the upper half of his body rolled on the ground. The instantly scorched skin would not cause him to bleed to death in a short period of time. He hardly bleeds much. But many internal organs that had been sliced in half made him no longer alive.
He struggled like that for a long time, and finally passed out after being blown up by the drone.
Now... that old gentleman is probably dead.
Am I... almost too?
She was thinking pessimistically, and suddenly felt heat pouring into her abdomen.
Xiaoya suddenly twitched violently, and the rising heat in her body made her feel pain accumulating continuously. Let her roll like a dead fish, and then suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
She just wanted to vomit at first, but even she herself didn't expect that what she vomited was bright red blood.
It was such bright red blood—as bright as fire, like the setting sun, like melting glass. It was like a mirror, reflecting his own face.
...my blood, so beautiful.
Such an idea suddenly appeared in Xiaoya's blank mind. After coughing up blood, she suddenly became a lot more relaxed. She felt as if the heat inside her was not so hot, and it seemed to feel that it was starting to cool down.
But at the same time, she also felt that her consciousness, which was still very clear... now began to become blurred rapidly.

Her sense of time began to become confused.
It felt like a long time, but it was only a moment; she felt like a moment, but it was a long time. She seemed to have fallen asleep between dreams and waking up, as if she had a very long dream... or she just closed her eyes for a few seconds, and the sound of explosions was still coming from her ears.
Why, why...
will become like this?
At this moment, Xiaoya suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps.
There was a gleam of hope in her eyes.
"Save, save—"
I…..
But when she saw the faces of those people clearly, the remaining half of the words were stuck and swallowed.
that is wearing
Wearing a wolf-headed hood, they suddenly attacked the criminals in this block.
"A lady mermaid."
Someone saw her and sneered maliciously.
"Look guys, that cross section is beautiful."
"Tsk, what a big tail."
"Look at that big tail...it feels like it can stew a big pot of fish soup."
"One thing to say, it's true. The meat on the tail looks very fat. Is it the kind of meat?"
"It's still pure white scales... This tail should be a carp, right?" Koi..."
Those people also saw Xiaoya's distressed appearance. And indeed they stopped at her call.
But they didn't have the slightest sympathy for Xiaoya, not at all, instead they laughed at her. Point at her.
Xiaoya only felt her heart was like an ice cave, and realized their identities.
— they will never save themselves. Because this "war" was caused by them.
Believers of "Werewolves" hate the "lower people" of Yongquan Island.
As the mixed blood of people from Outer Islands or the abnormality of spiritual relatives, they are born with the characteristics of terrestrial relatives, so-called "scaleless people".
Unable to enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment, all kinds of treatment, and even work cannot be obtained normally. Either mining, cutting trees, pumping oil, exploring... or just enjoying the treatment of others on the island, or being expelled from the island altogether.
Yongquan Island will not persecute them directly, nor will it actively enslave them. If they are willing to leave, they can even arrange for them to study and work in other sky islands.
—However, everyone knows that Yongquan Island is the best-paid sky island.
As the only empty island that is personally taken care of by a giant dragon, other empty islands have to give Yongquan Island some face.
If the other sky islands are nothing more than "city-states", then they are "empire". And it was an empire ruled by Ariake-kun.
At least for aquatic soul relatives, Yongquan Island is indeed a stress-free paradise. It was acquired by ordinary people, but those "scaled ones" are living a very happy life.
Work only six hours a day, four days a week, and find employment without any pressure—you can even get a good job out of high school, and it’s not that hard to find a job. There are subsidies for education, medical care, pension, entertainment, and marriage, and they are full of smiles from birth to death. They were born noble, and undoubtedly a nobler race. Don't worry about poverty and hunger, you can develop various hobbies you like.

- So, what's the price?
All the price will be paid by other relatives.
These scaleless people live like slaves. They are even lower than the Communists.
On Yongquan Island, the poor with scales don’t hate the rich, and the rich don’t discriminate against the poor—they are united and discriminate against those “those without scales from backward and fallen lands.”
They have very few spiritual relatives who can touch the sea, and they are also the only sky island that understands the knowledge that "more than 70% of the world's area is ocean".
Now that the land is polluted, they naturally feel proud.
Because their ancestors were all innocent and had no blood on their hands. Their ancestors did not directly participate in the religious war, nor did they live a life of cannibalism in the chaotic last days. Because they originally lived by the sea and isolated islands, making a living by fishing. What happened on the mainland had nothing to do with them.
Some knowledge that is regarded as taboo in other sky islands is imparted openly here. Because they are deliberately cultivating this innate pride.
And among these aquatic species of soul relatives, a brand new concept has emerged.
-nationality.
While the society of the scaled people became extremely united and friendly, those without scales also
Feel the same discrimination and alienation.
Obviously born on the developed and civilized Yongquan Island, who would be willing to be driven to those other twisted, busy, dangerous and depraved empty islands?
Obviously everyone was born on Yongquan Island, so why is it more noble to have scales?
Before the "werewolves" appeared, people just felt resentful about it. Even if they lived a hard life on Yongquan Island, even if they went to land to dig mines and cut trees, it was better than being driven away.
But today, the situation is different.
Since Yongquan Island doesn't want them...
—Then let Yongquan Island be distorted and chaotic like other empty islands. Anyway, no matter how bad their situation is, it will not be worse than it is now.
In this way, they will also be able to balance.
The attack they are launching now... is not so much that they have no scruples about civilians, but rather that their goal is to attack the "scaled ones".
Those with fish heads are the group that will be attacked first—because this is a special aesthetic that only people with scales can understand, and it is a special aesthetic that is contrary to human aesthetics. In the category of ", the offspring are more likely to have scales.
And the one with the human head, the human face... is easier to forgive.
It was also because of this that after UU Reading www.uukanshu.com they laughed at Xiaoya, they still chose "compassion from the heart".
But that wasn't treating her, and it wasn't just leaving—
A man with a younger voice drew out a pistol.
"Forget it, seriously, guys...she looks pretty miserable, he sighed, "This kid is pretty cute, she shouldn't be too old."
"Come out and buy some cake."
Another person saw the strawberry cake on the counter and said casually, "Then give her a break. Let's eat the cake and get ready to run."

"Hey, are you going to run away?"
"The next battle has nothing to do with us... How about we smash this shop? The old man who owns the shop is also a fish head."
"It's not impossible."
The man walked over while loading the pistol.
"no, do not want…"
Xiaoya sobbed and begged: "Don't...I don't want to die...the cake, the cake is for you...please, don't kill me..."
The man wearing the werewolf headgear said softly, "Don't be afraid, Miss Mermaid. No one will come to save you. It will be easier to die like this. If you don't hide, it won't hurt.
"—But you should be in pain for a while."
A low and hoarse voice suddenly came from behind them.
With the casting of a large shadow, the man suddenly became nervous, bent his body down and looked back.
But he saw one of his companions flying over out of thin air, smashing towards him as if he had lost gravity!
