Chapter 42: Struggling to Survive

Bruce looked helplessly at Dante in front of him, he had completely written excitement and happiness on his face, and he looked like a big child.

But Bruce thought about it, this big kid had just put down more than twenty prison guards with guns, and grabbed the bullet with one hand, by the way, I don't know how his hand is now!

Thinking of this, Bruce couldn't help but ask.

"You!" he hesitated, then made up his mind: "How's your hand!"

"Whose hand, you're asking me?" Dante was rolling a big snowball, and when he heard Bruce's words, Dante glanced back and said, "I'm fine!"

After speaking, Dante also stretched out his right hand to Bruce to take a look, obviously Dante's palm was still bloodstained, but Dante's palm was indeed good!

"Are you a mutant?" Bruce couldn't help but ask, originally he didn't have so many words, but today's experience was a bit complicated, which disturbed Bruce's heart.

"Why do you all associate me with mutants!" Dante was a little annoyed, everyone would see him and ask, are you a mutant? Are you a mutant? Damn, I'm not!

"A normal person should not be able to grab a bullet with his bare hands like you and not be injured!"

"Hah!" Dante laughed, "Two things, first, you should be glad that I am not a normal person, and if I don't catch the bullet, you will die." Secondly, I was injured, and my muscles were not strong enough to fully withstand the impact of the thermal weapon, but my injuries were very light, and the wound healed a little faster!"

"Why are you helping me block bullets!" Bruce finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most, he had been puzzled, why Dante would not hesitate to catch the bullets fired at him with his hands, could it be that Dante actually knew his identity, too, how could there be such a coincidence, he had just received an invitation from Lei Xiaogu in the morning, and someone came to this deserted and remote prison in the afternoon to find clues to Lei Xiaogu!

"Why do you think I'll die and not be saved?" Dante smiled: "Although you are a prisoner, I don't know what crimes you have committed, not to mention that I brought you out of the little dark room, and I can't let you die in front of me under any circumstances!"

After Dante finished speaking, he ignored Bruce anymore, turned around and rolled his snowball seriously, happiness became what Dante needed the most, and even Lei Xiaogu was put aside by Dante.

However, Bruce still did not give up.

"Why are you tracking down Lei Xiaogu, besides, I saw your equipment, that big sword made of folding and compression technology, are you a vigilante?"

"What's a vigilante?" Dante asked rhetorically, and at the same time, his snowball shattered, probably because Dante used too much force, and the snow splashed out of the half-human-tall snowball when it broke and sprayed Dante's face, and Dante giggled.

"It's a volunteer policeman, the kind who helps others?"

"I prefer you to call me a hero, the vigilante is too ugly, as for why I am tracking down the news of Lei Xiaogu, are you ready to listen?" Dante wiped the snow off his nose and looked back at Bruce, who saw that Bruce's face was frozen purple and the wings of Bruce's nose were even frozen.

"What do I need to prepare, if so, then I'm ready at all times!"

"Bruce, a truly courageous person doesn't talk about bravery!" Dante walked up to Bruce and patted Bruce on the shoulder, he didn't care about the stains on Bruce's dirty padded jacket, after all, as long as you play with the snow, a little stain is gone!

"I'm not just talking about courage!"

Hearing Dante's words, Bruce was like a balloon that had exploded, first roaring, and then quickly running out of breath.

"I, I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid......"

Bruce hesitated, not like he was talking to Dante, but more like he was explaining to himself!

"You feel it!" Dante looked at Bruce's confused eyes, he understood why Bruce brought such a familiar feeling to himself, it turned out that Bruce was a person who was going to be lost, and Dante had also experienced such a loss.

When Dante was about eleven years old, Dante had been fighting on the battlefield of the Abyss for four years, and at that time, Dante began to be confused.

I am the product of the combination of angels and demons, and I am the product of contradictions, why, I have the blood of angels and demons, but I have to fight for the angels and crusade against the demons.

That's right, angels are Mom's race, but demons are also Dad's race, why do you have to choose one of them?

The confused Dante blamed the gods for his murderous pain, believing that if the gods had not induced him to be the vanguard of the gods, he would not have to kill all the lives of his ancestors, and then the demons would not have hated Nephilim and him for no reason!

This situation was not resolved until Dante was seventeen years old, when he was seventeen years old, Dante, who had been hunted and killed by angels and demons for six years because of avoiding war, thought about it, what race, what bloodline, it was meaningless, only his own will was the only and eternal, the devil was his enemy, then kill the demon, the angel was his enemy, then kill the angel, no matter who was in front of him, he just had to move forward, or win, or die!

Therefore, Dante strengthened his heart and became a legendary powerhouse!

At this time, Dante looked at Bruce in front of him, he was just like himself, he was confused, even worse than he was at the beginning, Bruce was already lost!

"What's the most annoying thing about you?" asked Dante casually.

"All evil, all the killing of innocent people, all people or things that endanger life!"

"But you're also a criminal, it's so funny!" Dante sneered, "Tell me why you went to prison, and see if I have wronged you!"

"I ....... Bruce fell silent: "I was involved in a theft!"

After speaking, Bruce's eyes were full of unwillingness, and he finally realized at this time that he was indeed lost.

"Theft?" Dante grinned mockingly, "It seems that you yourself are the person you hate the most!"

"I'm not!" Bruce quickly shouted, he was unwilling, his current self was not what he wanted, how could he, how could he become like this!

"I'm not, I'm just...... I, I'm there a reason, am I a reason?" Bruce's voice grew lower and lower, and he stood there dejectedly, covering his face in a dejected manner.

"I was wrong, I did wrong, I thought I could get out of it, I thought I could study the psychology of criminals by committing crimes, and punish them with this, but I didn't do it, I was already a criminal!"

Dante reached out and grabbed Bruce's arm.

"When you realize this, it's not too late, you should know your own will better than me, you have to judge for yourself, whether you should seize the opportunity to change, after all, everyone has the possibility of making mistakes and the right to repent!"

Dante said as he let go of his hand, and he walked in front of Bruce, looking up at the mountain ahead.

"Keep up with me, just treat this journey as your purgatory, survive, you are a new self!"

Dante thought of himself, and when he crawled out of purgatory, wasn't it now his own new life!

Bruce suddenly shouted.

"Actually, you are the ancient master of Lei Xiaogu, is this the test you gave me, is this the method you guide me!"

"How can I be Rayyogu?" Dante turned to look at the serious Bruce, and quickly rejected his idea: "I'm here to find out the situation of Rayyogu's collusion with demons, I'm Dante Nafilim, the future god of war, and the eternal demon hunter!"

"Whoever you are, please teach me that I don't want to go on like this, I've made too many mistakes, I've killed my parents, I've let Rachel and Alfred down, I think I'm smart, I don't even see my own heart!"

Dante was stunned.

"The only one who can guide you is yourself, and the will and creed should not be given by others, but I still say that, the basis of everything is that you can survive, follow me, survive, maybe you can get what you want!"

After Dante finished speaking, he didn't speak anymore, he just blindly climbed the mountain, constantly looking for what might be Lei Xiaogu's lair among the cols.

Bruce tried his best to follow Dante, even if Dante didn't rush with all his might, such a speed should not be something that a mortal could sustain.

From about three o'clock in the afternoon until ten o'clock in the evening, Dante climbed a mountain, but he still did not find Lei Xiaogu, the Himalayas are so vast, countless mountains one after another, even if Dante knew the general direction, he could not find them in an instant.

By the time Dante decided to find a place to rest for a while, Bruce had become a mechanical popsicle, and he mechanically followed Dante, the only sound he could make was his heavy breathing.

Dante chose a small valley with low ground and thick snow, which was not very dangerous, and there was no danger unless there was an avalanche on the whole mountain.

Dante pointed to the snow.

"Let's be alive, dig a pit yourself, lie down in it and rest for the night, and we'll continue to look for it tomorrow!"

Bruce nodded mechanically, and his words seemed like a luxury to him, and he moved his steps and dug hard into the snow, and it was a full hour before Bruce barely managed to dig a pit of snow that barely held him with his bloodied hands.

"The most terrible thing at night should be the cold wind, you lie in the snow pit, although the heat will be lost, but, at least you will not be directly frozen to death by the cold wind!"

Dante casually explained, and found a comfortable place to lie down.

"I hope to see you tomorrow morning, you are still alive, good luck!"

Bruce was lying in a puddle of snow shivering, he had thought he was going to die more than once, he didn't know how much time had passed, he only knew that all he saw was the stars in the sky.

Even when he was lying in a snow pit, the cold wind could still blow his face, which made him extremely painful, but he gradually got used to it, and the pain on his face made him feel more clearly that he was alive than the stinging pain in his hands and feet.

Dante leaned on the snow, he made a small snow bag for himself, which could be leaned on very comfortably, the cold was nothing to Dante, at least the cold did not affect Dante.

However, Dante looked at Bruce not far away, and Dante could see that the flame of his life was struggling to maintain.

Dante thought for a moment, took off his trench coat, and walked over to Bruce.

"Hey, cover your face and upper body, your breath will bring you a little warmth!"

Dante said, tossing the trench coat to Bruce.

Bruce was wandering between unconscious and conscious, he vaguely heard something, he opened his eyes with difficulty, he opened his eyes almost covered with ice, he saw Dante's silhouette and his long silver hair, he heard Dante's words clearly, he received Dante's warm trench coat.

"What about you?" Bruce felt the warm trench coat in his arms, he desperately needed this warmth, but he still couldn't help but care about Dante, but Dante just smiled.

"I don't need to, I actually hope you survive!"

After Dante finished speaking, he walked away, Bruce silently covered his face with the trench coat, the trench coat covered his entire upper body, Bruce felt a little warmth brought by the trench coat, and he muttered to himself.

"It's not my own breath that warms me, it's you, Dante Nephilim!"
