Late at night, five kilometers outside the Siming Mountain shelter.
The bright white moon hangs high in the night sky. The weather tonight is very good and cloudless.
Because of this, visibility is very high on roads without tree cover.
The two figures moved forward in a staggered manner, one behind the other, with only two small backpacks, no weapons, and no light.
But the two people just walked forward without hesitation, as if nothing could stop them.
Perhaps the tranquility around them relaxed their nerves. Walking on the flat road, the atmosphere of silence between the two was finally broken.
"Let's talk?"
The first person to speak was the young man who walked forward. He did not look back, but just spoke to the darkness in the distance.
The man following on the left was obviously a little surprised by this, but after hesitating for a moment, he still responded with a soft hum.
"Can you tell me why you came out with me?"
The young man walking in front looked back, with a pair of red eyes filled with curiosity and confusion.
No one in their right mind would choose to leave the Siming Mountain shelter where troops are stationed, let alone at night when there is so much danger.
Because there is no difference between doing that and seeking death.
Hearing this question, Yu Libo tilted his head and did not answer immediately.
Why should we come out together? Maybe it’s because I don’t have any goals in life anymore…
After thinking for a while, Yu Libo spoke.
"I don't know, maybe it's because I have nothing to worry about..."
"It's easy to die if you come out with me. Isn't it good to be alive?"
The young man walking in front became more curious and continued to ask.
"Of course it's good to be alive...but there is no hope, so I feel there is not much difference between living and dying."
Facing Lu Yu, Yu Libo always felt that he was almost pathologically relaxed.
Because subconsciously he knew that the other party didn't care, he was just curious.
"Okay... Then why don't you just die? This saves the middleman, doesn't it..."
"Isn't there a promise..." Yu Libo's tone was full of helplessness, "I promised you at the beginning that as long as you go to Yunlong Town to save my parents, I will work as a horse for you for the rest of my life."
After hearing Yu Libo's answer, Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then continued after a long while.
"But I didn't rescue your parents either..."
"Not really, but you went, didn't you?"
Yu Libo's tone was full of relaxation, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"I don't actually need you to repay me by acting like a cow. From the moment you enter the Siming Mountain Refuge, the debt between you and me has already been settled..."
Lu Yu did not look back, but spoke slowly to the darkness ahead.
"It doesn't matter whether you need it or not, what's important is that I made a commitment."
With a relaxed look in his eyes, Yu Libo continued, "I'm a stubborn person. Once I make a promise, I have to implement it. This is what my mother taught me."
The word promise was like a heavy hammer hitting Lu Yu's heart.
After a long silence, the young man finally responded.
"You really have a good mother..."
"Yes, my mother is very nice..."
As if remembering the good times of the past, a smile appeared on Yu Libo's thin face.
However, just as the two of them were immersed in their own thoughts, the roar of an engine suddenly came from behind, from far to near, at a very fast speed!
"careful!"
Before Lu Yu, who was walking in the front, could react, he was knocked down by Yu Libo behind him and fell headfirst towards the guardrail!
The moment the two of them climbed over the guardrail, a van with a dilapidated appearance but covered in steel plates sped past, heading towards the darkness in the distance.
"Holy crap, there's still someone racing at this time?!"
This was Lu Yu's first thought.
If Yu Libo hadn't reacted quickly just now, he might have been hit by the van at this moment.
"It's not like racing..."
Climbing up from behind Lu Yu, Yu Libo's eyes widened in shock.
"That car seemed to have spotted us and accelerated to hit us!"
"...He came here specially to bump into us?"
The corners of Lu Yu's eyes twitched, and his brain was running rapidly.
It probably wasn't the Siming Mountain Refuge. After all, he had no grudge against Bai Donggu. Apart from bringing some food and drinking water, he didn't do anything to damage the refuge.
Could it be an enemy from the past? Thinking of this, a figure in a white suit appeared in Lu Yu's mind.
Could it be him?
Just as Lu Yu was making speculations in his mind, Yu Libo on the side had already begun to curse. The content was so unpleasant that he almost greeted all the eighteen generations of the van driver's ancestors.
However, the scolding did not last long.
Yu Libo's cursing soon stopped because he saw a bright light appearing in the darkness in the distance.
The van turned around!
"Grandma, you fucking dare to come back!"
After looking around, Yu Libo immediately picked up two stones from the ground.
Because they were anxious to go out at night, he and Lu Yu did not carry weapons. Faced with the threat, they could only pick up two stones to defend themselves.
The van did not slow down because of Yu Libo's yelling. When the engine roared, the distance between it and the two people was less than a hundred meters.
Just when Lu Yu was debating whether to pick up a stone from the ground to defend himself, the van had already stopped on the side of the road with a creak.
The car door opened, and a man wearing a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses on his nose got out.
The man first looked at the stone in Yu Libo's hand, chuckled, and then turned his attention to Lu Yu.
The two of them just looked at each other in silence, with only a guardrail separating them.
Perhaps because he didn't apologize immediately after seeing the other party get off the car, Yu Libo, who was already a little angry, immediately stepped forward, took a step across Lu Yu and yelled curses.
"Are you driving with your fucking eyes? Can't you see two living people?!"
After he finished yelling, the van door opened again, and two burly men with similar faces got out.
Yu Libo was startled at first, and then felt deeply. After seeing that the other party was not an enhancer of the same type, his face became even more angry.
"What's wrong with so many people? It's amazing how many people there are! If there are three more, I will still fuck you!"
He was a villain to begin with, and becoming a strengthener gave him a reason to be domineering.
Yu Libo is confident that as long as the opponent does not have a gun, he can easily kill the opponent.
What surprised him was that after hearing his scolding, the other party had no intention of arguing with him.
Instead, he showed a bit of apology.
The elegantly dressed man bowed slightly and apologized to Lu Yu...
