Chapter 202 I Want Revenge

Qiao Lan was speechless for a moment and couldn't even laugh.

Wen Jiaojiao asked again: "We're leaving the city tomorrow, right?"

Qiao Lan remained silent.

"Go far away, avoid the power struggle, avoid Ye Qi, avoid Xiao Tang, abandon the safe house you spent so much effort to renovate, abandon everything you risked your life to protect and worked hard to build, and fly away, huh?"

No words.

"It's only been a few months, less than half a year. After the storm, all the people and things you encountered in this less than half a year are nothing in your long life. If they're gone, they're gone. If they're forgotten, they're forgotten. From now on, you can take your space full of good food and drink. There are beautiful women everywhere in the world, and you can live a comfortable life anywhere, right?"

No words.

"Just live your life to the fullest, improve your strength, and enjoy life. Why would you care about the lives of others? Do you have the power to control them? Do you need to? Everyone has their own destiny. They were the ones who betrayed you first. If they have a hard life and a miserable death, that's what they deserve. It has nothing to do with you."

"sister……"

"Qiao Lan, my dear, look over there. A few kilometers from here, you're completely out of City C. A few dozen kilometers further, that's the territory of another city. There are other cities, other provinces, other countries and continents. The sky is high and the land is vast. As long as you move forward, a new chapter in your life will begin. The sea is wide for fish to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly. Look at me, your sister, I can speak poetry. Isn't it very cultured?"

"No, sister..."

"You're saying I'm uneducated?!"

"No, I mean, sister, you are not right."

"Grass is a plant! Am I wrong, or are you wrong?"

"I..." Qiao Lan lowered her head in shame. "I was wrong. What sister said was what I was thinking and entangled with. I was wrong, sister."

Wen Jiaojiao let out a long and gentle "Hmm..." and smiled, "Knowing your mistakes is the best way to improve. Just knowing your mistakes isn't enough, you have to take action, understand?"

"I understand, sis."

Qiao Lan paused, looked at the boss's face and weakly corrected him, "Sister, it's 'Admit one's mistakes and correct them, there is no greater virtue', not Samothrace."

Wen Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then jumped up in anger.

"Big Samoyed! Big Schnauzer! Big Husky! I just love to talk like that, what do you care? You're making fun of my accent, who doesn't have an accent?"

Qiao Lan fled to avoid being beaten.

"Where are you from, sister?"

"What do you care where I'm from? My village has a strong local accent. What's wrong with that? A village girl with bad pronunciation is still your sister. Try smiling again!"

"I won't laugh anymore. I won't laugh anymore... I'm the prettiest girl in the village..."

The two chased each other for a while and ran a long way. Qiao Lan stopped only when he was slightly out of breath.

This run helped her to relieve the depression in her heart.

He held his head high and looked at the sky above his head where more and more stars appeared. His eyes regained their former brilliance.

Wen Jiaojiao chased after him and stopped beside him, without blushing or getting angry, which made Qiao Lan praise her, "Sister, you still have good physical strength."

"Don't flatter me. Have you figured it out?" Wen Jiaojiao glanced at him.

"I figured it out. Thank you, sister, for enlightening me."

"Who has the patience to enlighten you? I just can't stand seeing you become so sullen, and I want to beat you up!"

"Hehe... I'm so well-behaved and cute, my sister definitely won't be willing to beat me."

"whispering sound!"

Two people stood talking in the night.

A mutated night owl glided silently closer, then suddenly accelerated, with its sharp claws and beak, and pounced on Qiao Lan!

Qiao Lan was speechless.

Why does she look so easy to bully? No matter who she is with, the mutant beasts will choose to attack her first.

Without even drawing her gun, she reached out and grabbed the night owl that had pounced upon her, pinning it down. She pulled out a piece of steel wire from her pocket, wrapped it around its mouth and claws, slapped it unconscious, and carried it behind her back.

"Go back and see if Xiao Li can be trained. If not, kill him and dig out the crystal core."

"Let's try to see if the meat is edible." Wen Jiaojiao suggested.

"It's too hard, it hurts my teeth."

"Oh, never mind."

Forget it? Qiao Lan smiled in the night.

I remember back in my past life, when I was with the eldest brother's sister, we actually ate a mutant owl. It wasn't poisonous, but the meat was bitter and hard and tough like wood. But back then, they both enjoyed it, chewing each mouthful of meat vigorously hundreds of times until it was like sawdust and no longer pricked their throats. Then they swallowed it down to replenish their bodies with high-quality protein.

Of course, I don’t have to eat such tooth-wrenching things in my life.

As long as there is enough space and food, you should be happy.

"Sister, you're right. In today's world and environment, we have food to eat, water to drink, and cigarettes to smoke. We're alive and well, so why should we be unhappy? If we encounter an insurmountable obstacle, we just force ourselves to get over it. If we can't get over it, we can jump over it, fly over it. If we still can't get over it, I'll move the mountain like Yugong, and I'll remove this obstacle. How can I not be able to deal with it?!"

Walking back with Night Owl on his back, Qiao Lan felt full of energy.

He is no longer as depressed as he was these past two days.

Wen Jiaojiao was delighted: "That's right, that's how it should be. Ever since I met you, you've always been like this. So, are you still leaving the city tomorrow?"

"I need to get Xiao Li and the others out of the city, to a place where they won't be affected by the power struggle, and then I'll come back. I'm going to the temple to find Xiao Tang."

Qiao Lan's tone was extremely firm.

"Oh, you're not running away anymore?"

"No more running away."

"You might die."

"Yeah, I know."

"Leave some more supplies behind before you go. If you die, don't let everyone go hungry."

"...Sister, you really love me."

After returning to the temporary residence, before entering the house, Qiao Lan hugged Wen Jiaojiao.

The starlight in the sky is cold, but my sister's embrace is warm and soft.

"Thanks for your guidance, sir."

"You're welcome."

Wen Jiaojiao is a head taller than Qiao Lan. When they stand together in high heels, Qiao Lan only reaches her chest.

She pulled Qiao Lan's head out of her chest and said, "Don't take advantage of me."

Pinching Qiao Lan's cheek, she smiled.

"I didn't enlighten you or give you any advice. I just pulled you back and asked you to re-examine and face yourself. Little Lanlan, in fact, you knew what to do from the beginning, didn't you?"

She sucked her lips, gave him a kiss in the air, then turned and went back to the house.

Qiao Lan stood in the night holding the big night owl.

Take a breath of the cool air of the winter night and look back at the city in the distance.

That's the direction of the base. A little to the side, it's the direction of the Earth Temple.

In the distance, there were gunshots, explosions, and intertwining lights of supernatural powers, appearing and disappearing from day to night. The two major forces were fighting without stopping.

That's where she should be.

Yes, she knew what to do from the beginning.

She was just hiding, struggling, and looking for excuses to escape.

"I endured four years of hardship in my previous life. Damn it, Qiao Lan, you are scared." She cursed herself silently and laughed.

The world is rotten, the dangers are too numerous, people's hearts are too sinister, and I'm too weak... I can only hide, I can only flee, I can only survive behind closed doors, I can't care about the lives of others. Helping others is harming myself, and acting rashly could lead to eternal damnation. Powerful forces are hunting me, I want to flee, evil corporations are arresting me, I want to escape, turning around and fighting is impossible, because I'm weak! I don't want to die!

This is me in my previous life.

This is also me in this life.

So what if the space is full of supplies, so what if I have awakened new superpowers, so what if I have survived several battles? Deep down, I am still that weakling who hides in the corner and shivers, and doesn’t even dare to go back to pick up the instant noodles if they fall.

The so-called taking a space full of supplies, finding a safe place to enjoy life, no matter how messy the outside world is, even if the sky falls, it has nothing to do with me...this?

A hungry chicken and a weak chicken with 300 tons of millet are essentially the same.

——But I clearly don’t want to be a weakling. I want to…

"I want revenge, Boss Joe."

Hou Tian came out of the house and found Qiao Lan.

He whispered, "Tomorrow, I will not leave the city with you. I have thought about this for a long time. Thank you for saving my life, but there is something I must do. The Temple of Earth killed my companions, and I want revenge."

The wrinkles on his face were deeper in the night, and the silver hair on his head was more eye-catching.

The 20-year-old boy from C University has an old face and exudes an indomitable spirit.

"Monkey, have you decided?"

"Yes."

"Yeah, I'm the same as you."

"Boss Qiao?"

Qiao Lan said, "Then let's go together. I want revenge too."

Hou Tian was puzzled: "Did those perverts of the Mother Goddess also kill your companions?"

"yes."

If Xiao Tang really became a disciple of the Temple, and turned into someone she didn't recognize...

It was like her good brother in two lives, the good brother who sacrificed his life to save her, was killed and no longer existed.

She doesn't allow it!

Absolutely not allowed!
