Chapter 168 The Man's Promise

"Is he all right? Nothing happened."

"Since you treated him, he has been in a coma until now. Do you want to check his condition?"

The female Amazon warrior guarding the door said respectfully, and then stepped aside, indicating that Bruce could go in. All this was because of the strength he showed on the beach today and the help he gave to the Amazons. He had already won these Respect for proud female warriors.

Thank you softly, and then Bruce walked into the stone room. On the bed that only sleeps for one person, the unlucky male protagonist pilot was lying quietly on it, sleeping peacefully.

Shortly after returning to their stone city with the Amazons during the day, Bruce requested surgery on the pilot he had saved, but it was clear that the Amazons didn't know what "surgery" meant.

In desperation, Bruce had no choice but to put on Edman's bat suit, and with Robin's "assistance", he used Amazon's metal to build some crude surgical instruments, and then helped the pilot complete the bomb extraction operation in medical mode.

Fortunately, this operation does not require great medical skills. Otherwise, even with Robin's medical simulation system, Bruce would not dare to make this decision lightly. But now it seems that everything is going well. At least the pilot only needs to rest. In a few days, you will be able to fully recover.

After checking his condition and finding that his breathing was stable and the wound was not inflamed, Bruce sat on a chair beside him, propped his head on his hands and said to himself: "In order to save you, I paid a first aid kit and Half of the anesthetics you carry are gone, so you won't blame me tonight, right?"

After that, he looked at the female guard at the door, and after silently saying sorry in his heart, he walked behind her, "Sorry, I think I need your help."

The female soldier turned her head when she heard the words, with a smile on her face, "It's okay, you"

A muffled snort came out of the female warrior's nose. Bruce withdrew the knife in his hand, firmly caught the female warrior's collapsed body, then picked her up and put her on the chair, "I need you to stay in the chair for half an hour ,Sorry."

Afterwards, Bruce picked up the pilot from the bed, wrapped him completely with thick animal skins, looked at the dark night outside, and plunged into it.

Without delay, Bruce put on the mechanical box hidden outside, carried the pilot and walked out of the city, but he didn't take the road from the beach today, but took another path leading to the sea.

Yes, what he has to do now is to take the pilot away from Paradise Island. Of course, Diana will leave with them later. In fact, this "escape plan" was also planned by Diana.

Bruce couldn't convince Diana. This girl was very assertive and decisive. After knowing that the First World War was happening outside, she couldn't stay on the ivory tower-like paradise island any longer, and she wanted to go out and kill her. Ares, stop this war.

Bruce didn't know whether to say that she was too jealous or too innocent. In fact, even if Diana killed Ares in the end, wouldn't there be World War II in the future?Not to mention the many local wars that occurred one after another after World War II.

He really wanted to explain to the girl that all of this might have nothing to do with Ares. Human nature has a greedy, cruel and aggressive side. As long as it is related to the interests of the ethnic group, war is inevitable.

But he can only swallow these words in the end, because he knows that he can't persuade her at all, and there is no need for this. If the relationship between the two of them is still harmonious because of this, it will not be worth the loss, so he just If he can follow her wishes, anyway, he can only take one step at a time now.

According to the route map given by Diana, Bruce passed through the entire Stone City in a short while. Fortunately, there had been no wars on Paradise Island for thousands of years, and there were very few female soldiers on duty at night, so he was able to avoid encounters along the way. What cross-examination.

When he arrived at the destination, he discovered that it was a small "dock". Well, maybe it can't be called a dock, because there is only a small wooden boat rippling in the shallow water bay.
Putting the pilot into the boat carefully, and wrapping his animal skin tightly, Bruce rummaged in the boat and found the fresh water and food hidden under the ropes. It seems that Diana is indeed determined to leave tonight The idea, the preparation was more complete than he imagined.

A sound of horseshoes sounded in the silent night, Bruce stepped out of the boat, looked in the direction of the sound, and soon saw Diana in a black coat riding a tall horse towards the pier.

"Did you get what you wanted?" Bruce looked at Diana who had rolled over from the horse, glanced at her tightly wrapped chest unnaturally, and asked casually.

"Of course, even though there were some minor accidents during the process, I didn't even know that I could climb up with bare hands. Let's talk about it later, let's go." Diana said to Bruce with a little excitement. Get on board with her.

"Diana." The long call sounded, and the two looked back, only to see Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, and Antiope, who had communicated with Bruce before, riding to the pier with several guards.

Bruce frowned and looked at Diana. He didn't expect this scene. He thought that Diana and the hero left Paradise Island by boat, but he didn't expect the Queen to chase after him. Could there be some twists and turns in the future?

Diana took a deep breath, then asked Bruce to wait for her for a while, and walked to the shore alone.

The Queen and Antiope walked towards Diana with their guards, and then they started communicating. Although they couldn't hear what they were saying, they looked peaceful. The Queen and Antiope talked to Diana one after another. After hugging, Antiope took off the thing he had been wearing on his forehead and handed it to Diana.

The queen left the spot first, and rode towards Stone City, but Antiope gave Bruce a complicated look, then nodded at him, then looked at Diana, and then followed the queen.

Diana held what Antiope gave her in her hand, and walked to Bruce in silence, "Let's go." She said softly, her voice a little muffled.

The parting at this moment is a bit heavy for her, but she still chooses to embark on the road to find Ares, and chooses to leave the safe place woven for her by her mother and elders. After parting today, she still doesn’t know if she will be able to return to the place in the future. to Paradise Island.

Bruce looked at Diana's silent figure, and boarded the boat with her. When raising the sails, with his back to Diana, he suddenly asked, "Are you okay? You know, once this boat Off the docks, we're not coming back."

Diana sat on the bow, folded her knees and stared intently at the starry sky above Paradise Island. After a while, she turned her head and reached out to touch the icy sea water, as if she wanted to remember this sea area. This small island once brought her everything.

"Let's go." Diana shook her head, said no more, and smiled at Bruce. Seeing this, Bruce shrugged, and untied the ropes that bound the boat. Under the agitation of the night wind, they left quickly The pier, heading towards the unknown front.

Gradually, the location of Paradise Island became blurred until it disappeared in front of them, and they also entered a fog. As long as they drive through this fog and continue moving forward, they should be able to reach the land soon. ?
After all, the planes of World War I could only fly more than 100 kilometers at best. This pilot named Steve was able to fly near Paradise Island, which shows that Paradise Island is not far from Europe, but it has always been protected by an enchantment and has not been protected by the outside world. Just found out.

"I will take care of you, and I will try my best to protect you, although you may not need my protection." Bruce said suddenly, looking into the depths of the fog, he knew that his journey in this world was about to really begin .

"However, this is what a man should do. No matter what, I will take care of you until you complete your mission, and then send you back to Paradise Island. Otherwise, I will think that I have not done enough responsibility."

Bruce's steady voice spread far away in the silent environment. Diana looked at the broad back standing beside her and looked forward. Looking at the sea, but her lips that were originally tightly pursed could not help but slightly tilted up.

A faint smile bloomed quietly on her face
