Chapter 18: Nightmare

Lin Yu and Abu never went out once in the cave, and the firewood that Abu brought was enough for them to use for a whole day, and a chocobo and a lion of the plains were enough for them to eat. The most important thing is that Lin Yu has a fever. The broken ribs, coupled with the high level of mental and physical exhaustion, completely crushed Lin Yu. He doesn't have the superhuman physique of a minotaur, and strictly speaking, he's just a college student who grew up eating gutter oil. Although his physique has improved in Azeroth, he is still too weak compared to the natives of Azeroth.

High fever wants to be a sinister assassin who takes advantage of Lin Yu's weakest will. He was hot, as if he had walked around in the boiling oil, lying weakly on the animal skin that Abu had laid for him, Lin Yu couldn't even open his eyes under the high fever, he was very thirsty, but he didn't tell Abu that it would take a long way to find a water source from the cave. Near noon, the wild beasts hiding in the woods came out to feed, and it was too dangerous to go out at this time.

Abu sat next to Lin Yu, at a loss. Minotaurs rarely get sick, they have only two states in their lives, fight or die. As for being plagued by illness, it had never been seen in Abu, and he had never seen other minotaurs get sick. Lin Yu's current situation is tricky, and Abu doesn't know how to deal with this sudden situation.

"Uncle, what should I do now?" Abu's tears rolled in his eyes, and he tried not to let himself cry, but there was already a cry in his voice, and he was very anxious.

The weak Lin Yu waved his hand to Abu with difficulty, his throat was on fire, in order not to let Abu worry too much about himself, Lin Yu still said hoarsely.

"It's okay, Abu, don't worry. I'll just get some sleep. ”

Lin Yu was very sleepy and tired, his eyelids were heavy, as if he had two lead pieces tied, he slowly closed his eyes, and he fell asleep quickly in extreme discomfort. Abu put all the plain lion skins on Lin Yu's body, filled the fire with some firewood, and sat quietly beside Lin Yu

"Brother Yu, will you go online later?" As soon as the picture turned, Lin Yu was stunned to find that he was walking towards the gate of the school, he was wearing the Adidas shirt that had been torn by Lohaku, and a good-looking young man next to him was talking to him.

"Here? School? How did I get back? Lin Yu looked around blankly, and muttered to himself in despair.

"Hey, who do you want? After a while, I will go online, whether I will go or not, I will call Brother Hua and them. Our team is as high and low as silver today. Seeing that Lin Yu didn't answer him, the young man slapped Lin Yu's arm and said.

"Huh?" Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and said to the young man around him as if he had lost his memory.

"Brother Xiang, where am I?"

The young man named Brother Xiang looked at Lin Yu strangely and replied.

"School, where else can you go, you're stupid."

"What!?" Lin Yu exclaimed, he really returned to the school, the familiar teaching building, the familiar doorman, no minotaur, no plain lion, no Abu.

"What, what! Hurry up, Brother Hua, they are waiting for the two of us in the Internet café. The young man grabbed Lin Yu's arm a little impatiently and walked quickly towards the Internet café.

Cars, supermarkets, street stalls. Lin Yu looked at the surroundings suspiciously, he was a little dazed, he clearly remembered that he went to Azeroth, went to the camp of Nalaqi, got acquainted with the captain Lohaku, and fought with Abu in the jungle on the edge of Mogaure to survive, he remembered that he seemed to have a high fever and fell asleep in the cave. But in the blink of an eye, he returned to his own world, the dormitory building, the teaching building, and the Internet café. Lin Yu couldn't tell whether he was in a dream now, or if he was really back in reality.

Brother Xiang took Lin Yu to the Internet café quickly, looking at the computer screen in the Internet café, Lin Yu suddenly ran eagerly to the second floor of the Internet café, saw his friend in the place where he often sits, and rudely drove his friend away from the computer. Upon entering the game, he sees his minotaur warrior Niu near the cemetery closest to Onexia's lair. Staring blankly at the screen, Lin Yu slumped on the sofa as if he had been drained of all his strength.

"What's the matter, Brother Yu?" The friend who was driven aside by him asked softly, he felt that Lin Yu's state was not quite right.

"Brother Hua, you didn't get on the plane? What about Brother Yu? The young man named Brother Xiang walked to the second floor and saw Brother Hua standing on the side, asking as he walked.

Brother Hua pointed at Lin Yu cautiously, and gestured at Brother Xiang. Brother Xiang threw Lin Yu's ID card on the table and said.

"Don't think about my sister, hurry up and get on the plane, the money will run out for you."

Lin Yu stood up with a dull gaze, turned on the machine next to him, and suddenly grabbed Brother Xiang's collar and asked loudly as if he was crazy.

"Abu! How could I be here! What about Abu! ”

"Crazy!" Slapping Lin Yu's hand away, Brother Xiang shouted at Lin Yu angrily.

"No, no! I shouldn't be here, I shouldn't be here" Lin Yu shook his head lightly, muttered twice, and then flew away from the Internet café.

Running out of the Internet café, ignoring the strange looks of the people around him, he rushed back to the dormitory as fast as he could, touched his pants, and the key was gone. Kicking open the bedroom door with a rough kick, Lin Yu sat in front of his notebook, and pressed the power button with his fingers trembling slightly.

The computer didn't turn on, Lin Yu frantically clicked the boot button repeatedly, but there was no response, and there was still no response. His computer was like it was broken, and it wouldn't turn on no matter what. Slapping the keyboard on the table with both hands, slamming the mouse to the ground, sitting on the chair in despair, Lin Yu lowered his head and grabbed his hair with both hands, his brain was very messy now, and there was a serious conflict between memory and reality.

"What's going on, what's going on? Where am I? Where the hell am I!! ”

The more he thought about it, the more irritated Lin Yu's heart became, his mind was in chaos, and the fragments of his memories played in his mind like a slideshow, from meeting Lohaku, to killing Wally, to being in the cave with Abu. These memories are so real and believable, but the reality is contrary to his memories. His eyes were bloodshot, Lin Yu stared at his notebook fiercely like a madman, he felt that this thing was the source of his confusion, and he was going to destroy it.

Grabbing the sides of the notebook with both hands, holding it high above his head, and just as he was about to throw it to the ground, the old face of the Eaglewind Chief suddenly appeared on the pitch-black screen. He was older, frighteningly old, with wrinkles on his face like tree bark, and he was staring at himself. Lin Yu wanted to speak, he wanted to ask Chief Eagle Wind what had happened to him, but his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't speak. Chief Eagle Wind looked at Lin Yu with a disappointed face and said bitterly.

"Guest, Camp Nalachi is gone, you failed to deliver on your promise, you let us down."

"No, it can't be that I didn't do anything, I didn't have time to do anything, why! Why is this happening. ”

Lin Yu stared at the Eagle Wind Chief on the screen, and kept shaking his head, he could speak, he was roaring, he couldn't believe the Eagle Wind Chief's words. The Eaglewind Chieftain on the screen vanished as soon as he said that, replaced by Lohaku's kind face.

"Lohaku! My friend, are you okay? You okay!! Lin Yu shouted frantically at Lohaku, he was expecting to get good news from Lohaku, but it backfired, Lin Yu saw that Lohaku on the screen was surrounded by countless enemies, there were wild boar people, there were goblins, but more, it was still the minotaur of the terror totem, he held a battle axe in his hand, and looked coldly at the enemies around him. The enemies suddenly swarmed up, and Lohaku fought and fought hard. The battle axe in his hand ruthlessly harvested the lives of the enemy, but there were too many enemies, and Lin Yu saw Luo Haku half-kneeling on the ground exhausted, with countless enemy corpses lying beside him. Luo Haku seemed to feel Lin Yu's gaze, raised his head and smiled at Lin Yu, stood up with his hands on the ground, raised his battle axe, and roared!

"For Nalaqi!"

The picture is gone. Lohaku is gone, and Lin Yu guesses the final outcome of Lohaku. Tears flowed involuntarily. He saw Tana die under the siege of the boar people, he saw the arrows exhausted Ofover fight with a bow, he saw the fangs bite the throat of a boar man before he died, he saw the hard-mouthed Mashak set fire to the tent where he lived, and the minotaur with two terrifying totems rushed into the flames, he saw the Eagle Wind Chief release the last of his life force and ignite the scorching totem, He saw the unstoppable Kodo beast Cook step on the most wonderful war trampling in his life, they were all dead, Lin Yu watched these friends die tragically in front of him, and he couldn't do anything. The last one to appear before his eyes was Abu.

"Abu! Abu, where are you? Where are you? Lin Yu couldn't cry anymore, Abu's appearance gave Lin Yu the last hope, he was the fire of Nalaqi, as long as he didn't die, Nalaqi would never die.

"Uncle, I'm dead, I'm found in a cave by wild beasts who use my body as food. Uncle, why did you give up on me? Why leave alone? ”

Abu's immature voice was like a sharp knife, stabbing it into Lin Yu's heart. Lin Yu's hand grabbed his face hard, his nails were embedded in the flesh, and blood flowed down Lin Yu's face. Lin Yu's heart was torn apart, he blamed himself incomparably, and he didn't even dare to look at Abu who was covered with blood on the screen, and he couldn't stop muttering in his mouth.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to, I don't want to. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

His roommates, Brother Xiang and Brother Hua, returned to the dormitory, and the two of them were like puppets with expressionless faces. Lin Yu, who was immersed in boundless self-blame and pain, didn't notice the existence of the two of them. The two people walked stiffly to Lin Yu's sides, pressed their hands Lin Yu's shoulders, and repeated a sentence like a machine.

"You have failed Nalaqi, you have killed Lohaku, you have killed Abu."

"You have failed Nalaqi, you have killed Lohaku, you have killed Abu."

"You have failed Nalaqi, you have killed Lohaku, you have killed Abu."

"No, no, no, no!!"

Lin Yu sat up suddenly, his sweat soaked the animal skin covering his body, he looked around with palpitations, and saw that he was still in the cave, Lin Yu let out a long breath.

"It turned out to be just a dream." Lin Yu was like a death row prisoner who had been amnesty, he felt relaxed, he looked down at the sweet little minotaur Abu who was sleeping next to him, gently took the animal skin aside, and walked to the entrance of the cave, it was already dark at this time, he didn't know how long he had been sleeping, it didn't matter to him, the important thing was that he was still in Azeroth, the important thing was that it was just a dream.

The sky seemed to be covered with a charming black veil, he looked at the bright stars and moon hanging high in the air, his eyes were extraordinarily firm, and he took Abu to run around in the jungle, Lin Yu had only one purpose, that is, to live, before experiencing that dream, Lin Yu thought that being alive was the most important thing, but now, he knew that in this world, there were many things that were more important than life. He's not confused, he knows what he's going to do next

In the early hours of the next morning, before the sun had fully risen into the sky, it was still a gray scene outside the cave entrance. Lin Yu mercilessly woke up Abu, who was still asleep. He put what he had brought out of the camp in Nalaqi in a package, tied it around his waist, threw the rest of the loot from the hunt in the cave, and dragged Abu out of the cave, who had not yet woken up.

"Ah~" Abu yawned, rubbed his eyes, and asked listlessly.

"Uncle, where are we going?"

"Climb the mountain." Lin Yu replied simply, he took Abu along the edge of the rocky mountain, looking for a convenient place for him to climb the mountain, the early morning was the best time to climb the mountain, because at this time, the powerful beasts in the jungle were still resting. Finding an uneven spot on the mountain wall and stopping, Lin Yu pointed to the rock wall and asked Aber.

"Can you climb this mountain?"

Abu looked up and replied.

"Yes."

"Okay, climb the mountain."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he tightened the wrap around his waist and began to climb. This mountain is not very high, about fifty or sixty meters. Without a single stop, Lin Yu and Abu climbed to the top of the mountain smoothly. At this time, the sky was not yet bright, Lin Yu sat on the top of the mountain, looking at the scenery below the mountain attentively, and let some cold mountain wind blow on him.

Abu went to Lin Yu's side and asked in a low voice.

"Uncle, where are we going next?"

"Bloodhoof Village."

Lin Yu's three words were sonorous and powerful.
