ah!
Zhou Jinru shouted loudly and woke up slowly. His whole body was so painful that he almost lost consciousness.
He found himself lying on a low bed, and the dim light of the oil lamp provided a little light, shining on the face of a girl lying beside the bed.
She seemed to be asleep, her curved eyebrows trembling slightly.
This must be Alina, she survived successfully.
Zhou Jinru had just had a nightmare. When he woke up, he forgot everything. The noise he made was a bit loud and woke up the white deer sleeping next to him.
"you're awake?"
Alina slowly sat up straight. To be honest, she was very grateful to the man in front of her. If it weren't for him, she would have died under the sharp blades of those robbers, and would never be able to return to the integration movement camp.
Of course, there is no way to go back now.
Zhou Jinru held the pen of soul in his hand, and was still thinking about the words he heard before. Saving Alina happened at a critical moment. If he was a step slower, things would be difficult to recover, so he would not hesitate. He started killing people mercilessly. It wasn't until he killed three gangsters present that he realized that he was close to success.
"Do you want to eat? I bought a few cans. I can heat them up and eat them."
Only then did Zhou Jinru notice that all the wounds on his body had been treated. He was also a little hungry and did not reject Alina's proposal.
Bai Lu opened the can and said: "I saw you were not awake, so I found herbs to treat the wound. In fact, I did very little. Most of the wounds were healing. The only one that was difficult to treat was the penetrating wound in the abdomen. I Think you need to go to the hospital..."
I saw the man stretched out his hand to lift up his shirt, and there was a hideous wound on his abdomen, which was bright red in color and stained with blood on the clothes. He pressed his right hand on the wound, and the palm of his hand emitted a dense emerald green light, and the cool and warm breath continued to penetrate in, speeding up. heal.
"It turns out you know the healing source stone skills..."
Alina is a little disappointed. She doesn't know any Origin Stone skills, and she doesn't have the fighting talent like others, so she can only be a logistics worker.
"I didn't know anything before, so I only relied on the protection of others. Speaking of which, I am a bit chauvinistic. I am a man, but I have to rely on a few girls. Hehe, I don't accept it."
Zhou Jinru took a few breaths and continued: "So I trained myself, doubled the amount of training, starting from the most basic fighting. At the beginning, I was beaten like a sandbag. After being beaten, I was able to try to fight back. "
He turned to look at Alina, who said nothing.
"We may have to stay together for a long time. If you want to learn, I can teach you. Just start from the basics. If you meet someone you want to protect again, then you can do what you want to do."
Alina said softly: "You seem to have been through a lot. Do you want to find someone to rely on?"
"People always need something to rely on when they are alive. You are right, that's what I think. I can turn you into a powerful warrior."
Their first conversation ends when Alina brings a potato chunk to the man's mouth with a spoon.
Zhou Jinru couldn't believe that he succeeded. He had failed so many times, but this time he successfully rescued Alina.
…
the next day.
After a whole night of continuous treatment, Zhou Jinru could barely get out of bed. The wound on his abdomen was still very painful, but he did not lose his ability to move.
"We are at an abandoned inn. We originally had some supplies here, but now they have been consumed by us."
There were major changes in the integration movement yesterday, and it was getting dark, so the search was not continued.
Alina said seriously: "Can you tell me now why I have to leave the Integration Movement?"
"Because you are still alive, the integration movement lost you. Let's assume that if I didn't arrive yesterday and you were killed, the integration movement would also lose you. I can't let you go back and change this fact."
Bai Lu seemed to realize something, but he still missed the point: "Are you implying that I am already dead to them?"
Zhou Jinru didn't say anything. He took a wooden stick from Alina and supported his body. They had to leave now, otherwise they might be discovered at any time.
"Keep going north, there is a small town there."
"You have to put on a little disguise."
Alina frowned and took a mask from the man's hand, which was a bit too big for her.
This girl can accept the truth so quickly. No wonder she is Tallulah's good helper and the political commissar of the integration movement. In just a few sentences, she is trying to find out the truth.
Zhou Jinru didn't tell her everything so quickly, at least until they were out of the dragon girl's range.
When leaving the abandoned inn, Zhou Jinru once again took her with him in light form, and arrived at the described town in the blink of an eye.
The town is very deserted and peaceful in winter, and the news from the integration movement has not spread here yet.
"Let's buy some food and leave without stopping."
Alina nodded. Since she had many acquaintances here, the purchasing task was completed by Zhou Jinru.
"If you become like that, can you teach me?"
"I'm afraid not, sorry."
Zhou Jinru was a little curious: "Why do you want to learn this?"
"This way I can return to integrated sports as quickly as possible."
"..."
I saved you, and you even expressed your gratitude tactfully, but in order to go back, you took the initiative to ask for help.
He rubbed his hair, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The two of them walked and stopped all the way. After a week of continuous traveling, Zhou Jinru couldn't bear it anymore.
"Okay, let's stop here first and wait until the snow stops before going to Casimir."
Alina put their luggage in the corner of the hotel room and helped Zhou Jinru sit down by the bed.
In order to deceive others, they lied that they were a couple, but they were blocked by heavy snow. The husband was injured in a previous car accident and was in poor health, so he had to stay.
"That's not a good excuse at all."
"At least it's practical. No one will embarrass a couple."
Alina raised her eyebrows: "You seem to be very experienced?"
It's hard to say what his experience is. Zhou Jinru has only tried it with Kelxi. As for Bailu, she is still wary of it until now.
"It's been a long time since I traveled with someone else."
He sighed.
It snowed heavily for many days, and the weather never improved. In this way, they spent the New Year of 1094 in a small land city in Ursus.
For the land of Terra, 1094 was just one of many ordinary years, but for some people, it was enough to change their lives.
Zhou Jinru sat on the edge of the bed, staring into the distance, immersed in deep thoughts.
In 1094, after Theresia died and the Tower of Babel was destroyed, Kelsey left Kazdaele with the remaining members and established the Rhode Island Pharmaceutical Company that year.
