It is precisely because of sorrow that we long for miracles.
But Zhang Chulan knows very well that miracles themselves do not exist. Otherwise, would these people be able to survive as long as they pray? Otherwise, will the person who died be himself?
Life is such a fragile thing. It only needs to be missing a little bit... just a little bit of something indescribable at a certain moment, and people will die.
Death means not being able to speak, not seeing, not being able to eat, not being able to drink... Everything you can think of becomes meaningless after the moment of death. Disappeared things cannot be recovered, nor can broken things. Repair again...
"Alive..."
At this moment, Zhang Chulan had this idea.
This was the purpose of his timid life for more than ten years, and now this purpose became clearer.
But maybe there is another condition attached - don't live alone.
So... what is loneliness?
Taken apart, the word "loneliness" contains children, fruits, puppies, and butterflies. It is enough to support an alley in the midsummer evening, and it looks full of humaneness.
Young children are holding melons and willows under the shed, thin dogs are chasing butterflies in the narrow alleys, the world is prosperous and full of laughter, but I have some spare time for wind on my temples.
There are children, fruits, cats, dogs, and flying butterflies. Of course it is lively, but it has nothing to do with you. This is called loneliness.
But I don’t know when Zhang Chulan no longer feels lonely.
Because a group of people broke into his lonely world.
A group of people who are as lonely as he is.
Sun Haoran said that he was lonely because of the "blood sorrow", but Zhang Chulan didn't think so.
Because he knows that he is not a mixed race, there is no such thing as "Blood Sorrow".
There is no reason for him to feel lonely...
There are only choices.
The same choice led them to the same path, and they will probably move forward together in the future.
A group of lonely people gather together, huddled around to keep warm, and they seem less lonely.
"Wait for me..."
While muttering, Zhang Chulan seemed to see two figures moving forward in front of the rain curtain, looking back at him from time to time.
then……
He took steps to keep up with them.
"Zhang...Chu Lan?"
Looking at the silent figure leaving, Lu Linglong shouted hesitantly. She was now a little afraid of this man.
"Is she still alive?"
Zhang Chulan turned his head and asked calmly.
"Um!"
"That's good."
Nodding slightly, Zhang Chulan turned back and continued walking, "Follow me. If you meet someone from the company or a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain on the way, hand her over to them. It's someone else's commission to save you... But after all, I saved her." You guys, you should understand the principle of repaying a favor, right? I need you to do me a favor..."
"Okay...ok."
Lu Linglong responded obediently.
······
Although the injuries on his body have fully recovered, Sun Haoran feels that he still cannot freely control his body for the time being. The angry will is gradually fading, but the residual influence is still lingering.
I am temporarily unable to move, but fortunately I am no longer in an uncontrolled 'rage' state. This seems to be the best outcome.
"First Evolution"
In a vague sense, he felt that his body was being lifted out of the water.
Is it Angers? Even the injured dragon is not something that ordinary people can get close to. Probably only Angers can save himself from the dragon's mouth.
But……
What to do next?
This stupid dragon should be extremely angry after being beaten, right?
Without me...can they deal with this raging dragon?
······
puff--
Blood scattered in the night sky and disappeared into the rain.
The two figures were in close contact.
Feng Baobao stared intently at the man in camouflage uniforms in front of him, as if there was nothing else but him.
Blood was clearly flowing from the wounds on her body, but she didn't seem to feel it.
The blood stains were washed away by the rain, and the wounds on her body were slowly healing. Perhaps the light was too dark and the rain was too fast, so no one could notice it.
Except for the ghost guy who had close contact with her.
"That amount of bleeding..."
The ghost guy frowned and looked at the girl in front of him.
In short, the woman in front of me is a very amazing person.
He could clearly see that the wounds on the opponent's body were slowly healing. Such recovery ability was simply unbelievable, but it could barely be explained by a 'recovery type of power', but was it really that simple?
You must know that among the targets of their operation this time, the capture priority of this woman is quite high, even higher than 'Qi Tiyuanliu' and 'Tongtian Ru'!
To be honest, he didn't quite understand, because if it was a 'superpower', then this ability was probably innate and had no reference value, so how could it be compared to the other two things?
The so-called 'head' of Quanxing was indeed right. Coming here did allow him to meet the 'mystery' that could arouse his interest.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Gui Lao's face.
call--
The fist roared again.
The ghost man turned his head to avoid it, and a trace of blood appeared on his face.
At the same time, Feng Baobao was also cut open by a saber again.
The ghost man frowned slightly and tried to distance himself again.
He knew that now was not the time for him to think wildly, he had to find a way to deal with this woman first.
The woman in front of me seems to be very good at exchanging injuries for injuries. Coupled with her amazing recovery power, it would be uneconomical to fight hard.
Whoosh——
After thinking of a countermeasure, Gui Lao's figure slipped into the woods nearby and disappeared from Feng Baobao's sight.
He obviously watched the man get in, but as the figure disappeared, the man seemed to have escaped into the void and his breath completely disappeared.
"It's really amazing..." Feng Baobao murmured to himself, "This is the first time I've met such a person..."
She was confident in her own perception ability. If it were another target, even if there was such heavy rain interference, it would be impossible for her to not be able to detect it completely.
But this man just disappeared from her sight.
Zhang Chulan would probably be surprised if he were here. After all, in his impression, Sister Baoer rarely admires others.
The man in front of her was stronger than any enemy Feng Baobao had encountered before. There was no doubt that she seemed to be in crisis this time.
"..."
Gui Lao hid in the dark and observed Feng Baobao's actions.
He originally thought that this woman would look for his place, but in fact, the other woman didn't seem to have such intention at all, and turned around and was about to leave.
"This is really difficult..."
With a sigh, Gui Lao flashed his figure and attacked Feng Baobao's back again.
boom--
Without any warning, Feng Baobao defeated and raised his hand to block. The two men's arms collided and their bodies moved away again.
"..."
Gui Lao looked at Feng Baobao in silence.
This time his attack was not as smooth as the first time. He was confident that no one could feel it when he restrained his breath. It was obvious that this woman was not paying attention to him at all. She probably just felt the 'rain curtain' surrounding her. An instinctive reaction to the movement of a breakthrough.
So the question is, in a life-and-death battle, will anyone take their attention away from the enemy? Even if it's just subconsciously, some of the energy should be focused on the opponent.
But this girl gave him a strange feeling.
From the moment the girl realized that 'Zhang Chulan' was a pretender, she seemed to have lost her killing intent and wanted to leave here. From the beginning to the end, he didn't feel the killing intent in her body. All her responses seemed to be 'instinct' stress response.
So...this girl has no intention of fighting me?
Feng Baobao's fist roared again.
The ghost man dodged again and then got into the bushes.
Then Feng Baobao wanted to leave here again without looking back.
"..."
After repeated testing, Gui Lao felt speechless.
This girl really didn't seem to have any intention of fighting her. As for what looked like a 'counterattack', she was actually just trying to drive herself away, just like she was driving away annoying mosquitoes.
"It's really a headache..."
"..."
Feng Baobao walked in silence, looking around blankly as he walked, as if he wanted to see if anyone would come out and prevent him from leaving.
"Little girl, stop looking around..."
Lao Xia, who had been watching the battle for a long time, said helplessly, "I know you are anxious to leave here, but unfortunately, it may not be that simple to leave here..."
"That...means you have to help too?"
Feng Baobao turned his head and asked with some confusion.
"Harm... isn't this a bet with him?"
Lao Xia chuckled, "Girl, it's not easy for you to leave him like this. This kind of environment can be said to be his home court... I advise you not to think about escaping and concentrate on dealing with him, right?"
"...If you don't do anything, I'll leave..."
After Feng Baobao hesitated for a moment, he paced again and prepared to leave.
"Uh hehe..." Lao Xia just shook his head helplessly.
"Tsk..."
The ghost guy in the dark smacked his lips lightly.
This Lao Xia, even if he doesn't help, he's still there to support the fire?
But it doesn't seem to be of any use to this girl...
"Oh...it's really..."
Finally, the ghost man complained and walked out of the bushes.
"?"
Feng Baobao looked at the man who was blatantly standing in front of him in confusion, "Aren't you going to make a sneak attack this time?"
"I have something I want to confirm." Gui Lao replied calmly, while taking a stance.
"Oh?" Lao Xia also looked at Gui Lao with some doubts.
This guy is obviously best at concealed assassinations, why did he suddenly change his strategy? What do you want to do?
Crash--
The rain continued to beat on the ground, and Gui Lao moved on the muddy lawn and slowly approached Feng Baobao.
And Feng Baobao still looked at him with the same eyes as before. There was neither murderous intent nor any other emotions in his eyes, only the purest concentration.
"It's really disappointing..."
Gui Lao thought this in his mind, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.
The same is true for Feng Baobao.
When the two figures appeared again, they had already passed each other.
"..."
Feng Baobao suddenly fell forward slowly and fell to the ground as if he was electrocuted.
Gui Lao, on the other hand, gently covered the place where he was hit, and turned around to look at the fallen Feng Baobao, his eyes full of disappointment.
"Hmph...that's really the case."
Everything was as he expected. This girl had no murderous intention towards him, and was not an opponent who could fight happily.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Lao Xia didn't understand what was going on, and asked with confusion, "What did you just do? I didn't see it clearly from that angle, and... why is there such a disappointed expression on your face?"
"..."
Gui Lao didn't answer, just looked at Feng Baobao who fell on the ground in silence.
Surprisingly, the girl could still move and was struggling to get up.
The hit he just hit accurately hit the girl's vagus nerve. In other words, it hit the Tianchuang point on the large intestine meridian. If hit by this point, ordinary people would lose consciousness.
"It's really a terrible physique...it's just a pity..."
"What's a pity?"
Lao Xia asked doubtfully like a curious baby, "I called you a ghost, but you answered my old man!"
"It's a pity that although this girl is 'mysterious', she is not dangerous and does not meet my expectations. The next step is up to you."
The ghost guy turned around calmly and prepared to leave.
"Huh? Didn't you have a great time playing just now?"
Lao Xia couldn't understand it at all.
"There are two things I pursue, the 'mysterious unknown' and the 'threat' that may exist in the unknown..."
Gui Lao replied calmly, "You know, I used to be a professional soldier. There is no concept of cruelty when facing the enemy. Defeating the enemy is our primary goal... Therefore, it is especially important for us to judge the hostility of the other party, even if we mistakenly Judgment will bring a fatal blow, and we still have to judge...if we cross this bottom line, we will become killers or even machines that can only kill."
As he said that, Gui Lao recalled the scene where his comrades were shot because they hesitated when faced with a gun-wielding child on the battlefield.
Faced with a child with trembling hands and a gun pointed at you, should a soldier fire?
Such a choice is very important to them, because it is the dividing line between 'human' and 'beast'.
Do you choose to fail in judgment and lose your life, or choose to die as a 'human'.
The reason why people are human is because they have 'emotions', and compassion is one of them, even if it is more like a 'burden'.
But he firmly believes that real warriors fight with "burdens", and these burdens are what they want to protect.
This sounds stupid.
But he believes that soldiers should have such awareness and pride.
After all, they fight to protect these 'children'. If they kill these same 'children' without emotion, can they still be called 'human beings'?
The actual situation is...the reason why his comrades were shot was not because of wrong judgment. They were not so weak that they could not even judge the intention to kill...
It's just that these children often shoot not out of 'killing intent' but out of 'fear'.
The only reason for losing to 'Fear' is because they are not strong enough.
But he is different.
It has nothing to do with right or wrong or good or evil.
Being strong enough to face and defeat such 'fear' is the realm he pursues.
