Chapter 127: The Truth
"You are An Cheng's relative, that is my friend, and there is no need for friends to see each other like this. But I'd love to know you and ...... that day How did Xiao Chen get caught there, can you tell me more about it? ”
Du Jiujiu didn't want to reciprocate when he went to save them, so he lightly changed the topic and asked Luo Yucheng what he had always wanted to know, the reason why they were trapped there.
This question was in Luo Yucheng's expectation, so he didn't think about it for too long when he heard this, just smiled bitterly, and slowly told the things that Du Jiujiu didn't know.
"Actually, I wasn't poisoned that day...... I didn't like mushrooms since I was a kid, so I just took one bite of the porridge that day and put it down. But even so, for a while my mind was confused, and by the time I came to my senses, I was out with you.
I sensed that something was wrong, and I wanted to persuade everyone to go back to the base, but you all became very manic after the poisoning, and I couldn't stop everyone, so I planned to bring back Xiao Chen, who had no ability to protect himself, before making plans.
But on the way back, I encountered a mutated beast, at that time I was seriously injured and not healed, and the ability became very sluggish due to the residue of the toxin, and I was not its opponent, so I had to take Xiao Chen and fight and retreat, planning to find a hidden place to hide first. ”
When he said this, Luo Yucheng's emotions began to gradually become excited.
"But we didn't expect that after arriving in that neighborhood, we met someone more terrible than this beast.
After they killed the beast, they set their sights on us, and I lost control of my body after being looked at by the silver-haired woman named Lan Lan, and I could only watch myself and Xiao Chen being taken away by them.
After that, I was used as a vessel for cultivating vines by the woman who could manipulate the vines, and Xiao Chen fell into the hands of Yu Lan. ”
Luo Yucheng's clenched fists were bruised, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of resentment for those human, animal and beast behaviors and guilt for failing to save Lin Haochen.
"It's not your fault, you've done a lot for him."
Speaking of Lin Haochen again, Du Jiujiu's heart also felt a sense of sadness, although they had not been in contact for a long time, but in Du Jiujiu's heart, she had already regarded the boy who was willing to use her life to protect her as her younger brother.
Now that there is little hope for his survival, Du Jiujiu's heart is as painful as a knife. But she couldn't put all this responsibility on Luo Yucheng, Luo Yucheng was already trying his best to protect him. And he had obviously come to Lin Haochen's side at that time, but he still couldn't save him.
I blame myself for not being strong enough!! If she could have been stronger, it wouldn't have ended like this.
"Jiujiu, don't think about it yet, your injuries are not yet healed, eat something quickly, it will also allow you to recover some strength a little."
At this moment, Hu Xiaoyun walked out of the simple kitchen separated by wooden planks on the side, still holding a bowl of steaming porridge in his hand.
Du Jiujiu took the bowl and found that in addition to the green vegetables that had been cut into small dices, there was also the meat of the alien beast that had been boiled and soft.
The smell of white porridge mixed with the aroma of meat kept drilling into Du Jiujiu's nostrils, making her already shriveled stomach even more hungry.
The dead are gone, and those who remain will continue to struggle in the last days. The cold end times will not leave people time to be sad, and only by seizing all the time to become stronger can there be hope of survival.
Du Jiujiu thanked Hu Xiaoyun, didn't care about the heat, picked up the bowl and ate a bowl of porridge in three bites, which made Hu Xiaoyun feel distressed for a while.
"Jiujiu, eat slowly, there are still a lot in the pot, I'll serve it to you again."
Hu Xiaoyun knew the amount of Du Jiujiu's meal, and when she went to the kitchen again this time, she directly brought all the pots over and served them to Du Jiujiu bowl after bowl.
Du Jiujiu was not polite, she had been hungry for too long, her stomach was very empty, even if there was a cow in front of her, I am afraid she would be able to eat it, not to mention this pot of fragrant and soft meat porridge.
After a while, a full pot of porridge was eaten by her, and then Du Jiujiu raised his head and saw that Luo Yucheng and the others were all looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of embarrassment on his face.
"That...... Haven't you eaten yet? ”
"No, no, this was originally prepared for Sister Jiujiu, and we still have this."
Seeing this, Wei Qingqing hurriedly waved his hand, and pulled out a basket full of dried meat on the shelf on the side for Du Jiujiu to see, and pointed to the big vegetables on the shelf, with a pair of big eyes shining.
"That's right, you don't know, we have caught a lot of strange beasts during this time, and we have also found several kinds of wild vegetables that can be eaten, and now we have a lot of food reserves, so we don't have to worry about eating anymore!"
"It's so hard for you." Du Jiujiu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
In their absence, they kept the base so well organized, so that everything was on the right track, and the hard work they paid must be indispensable.
"These are the things we should do." An Cheng walked up to Du Jiujiu, smiled slightly, and rubbed her soft black hair.
"We relied on you too much before, but that won't work. We are a collective, and if we want to go far in the last days, we all need to grow. ”
"You're right, we're a collective, and I can't do it alone. In the same way, I wouldn't be able to make it this far without you by my side. ”
Du Jiujiu nodded, very much agreed with An Cheng's words, since the end came, they have been supporting each other until now, this is not only everyone's strength, but also a kind of spiritual support.
Before this, Du Jiujiu had thought of being their umbrella and letting herself carry more dangers, but now Lin Haochen's living example has sounded a wake-up call for her, and Du Jiujiu will also reconsider the way she will survive with her companions in the future.
"Jiujiu, since your injuries have almost recovered, there is something I still have to discuss with you. Do you remember that assignment from my brother? It's been too long, and now it's time to go. An Cheng spoke, his expression a little speechless and stopped.
"Well, it's been a long delay, so let's pack our luggage and leave at dawn tomorrow."
Du Jiujiu didn't notice An Cheng's expression, and as he spoke, he got up and found the long knife placed at the bottom of the shelf, and examined it carefully.
After that fierce battle, this long knife not only did not add the slightest scar, but made it faintly have some invisible killing meaning. As she slowly ran in with it, Du Jiujiu seemed to have a feeling of some kind of connection with it, which made her want to take it with her all the time.
