Chapter 286 Regaining Strength

Li Shouyun woke up from the darkness.

He had a terrible headache.

It was as if he had drunk too much and was hit by a club.

What happened?

What happened before he fell into a coma?

Li Shouyun wanted to recall what happened before he fell into a coma, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not remember the details. His memory became blurry and he could only vaguely remember that he seemed to regret leaving the coalition forces.

Then, what happened next?

Why did he pass out?

He can't remember anything.

hiss.

The headache became more severe, interrupting his thoughts.

"woke up?"

A voice was heard, Li Shouyun covered his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

A table, two chairs, a few side dishes, and a cold iron bucket with a few bottles of beer in it.

"Brother Chi."

Li Shouyun supported his head with one hand and the ground with the other, and stood up unsteadily. He staggered to the table and fell heavily back onto the chair.

The chair creaked sharply.

Fortunately, it was not an ordinary chair but a product of a set of props. Otherwise, with just this one blow, not to mention a wooden chair, even a steel one would have been broken.

"Okay, don't think too much. You are not responsible for this matter. Besides, the situation is not that serious. Ziqing is just missing, not dead. Although Jiang Yin is suspected of betrayal, we all believe that she did not betray. As for her disappearance, it should be an accident. But like Ziqing, her crystal is still intact." Chiyou took out a bottle of wine, opened it, and poured two glasses: "Drink with me."

"What about the others?"

"Hmm?" Chiyou's hand that was pouring the wine paused.

"I mean the rest of the coalition forces. Although the losses were not great, many people died." Li Shouyun was filled with remorse and self-blame. The corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a smile uglier than crying: "Brother Chi, tell me, how many people in the coalition forces died, please, tell me."

Chiyou put the wine on the table and was silent for a moment. Finally, in front of Li Shouyun's almost broken eyes, he gave the answer.

"About a hundred people, maybe more, maybe less, this is just a preliminary estimate."

"One hundred people. One hundred people."

Li Shouyun lowered his head, his overly long hair hung down on both sides, and a few drops of water slipped down from his hair.

"If, if I hadn't left, if I had come back earlier, would everything be different?"

"This is not your responsibility. To be honest, the current situation is the best."

Hearing this, Li Shouyun raised his head in confusion.

He didn't understand why Chiyou, who was always kind, would say such a thing.

"It's hard to understand." Chiyou drank a glass of wine and put it on the table: "If you hadn't left, and we had successfully defeated the members of the Intestinal Gang, Chi Feng wouldn't have died, Ziqing wouldn't have disappeared, and Jiang Yin's matter would probably have been investigated, and more people wouldn't have died. This should be what you think now, right?"

Li Shouyun nodded silently.

"But what will happen next? When the Frost Ghost appears, won't the result be the same? We can't defeat him. Even if I can delay him for a while, I still have to help the rest of the people. Although you are here, you will organize the team and we won't be scattered all over the place like we are now. But if the Frost Ghost comes again, I can't stop him anymore. What will you do?"

Li Shouyun raised his head, looking excited and wanting to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Chiyou raised his hand to stop him.

"I know you want to say that you might be able to defeat the Frost Ghost, but how did you get your confidence? Was it from the legendary set you collected in the hidden dungeon? Or did you get the second broken godhead?"

"Wake up, don't forget how you got these things. If you had come back immediately, you wouldn't have gotten them. We would have ended up like this after encountering the Frost Ghost. But now, because you got the equipment and the Godhead, we still have the strength to fight against the Frost Ghost. The situation is much better than we imagined."

Li Shouyun was speechless after being refuted. He didn't know how to deal with the current situation.

Isn't the responsibility his?

Yes, after Chiyou said this, no matter what he did, the situation seemed not to change.

But it was just his companions who died, but he did not face it together. This alone made Li Shouyun feel very uncomfortable.

"It has happened, and the past is the past. No matter how unwilling you are or how many regrets you have, you can never go back to the past or change it."

"I'm seriously injured and hiding here. The reason I haven't left is because I thought you would come back. You are our hope. Do you understand? You have to cheer up. Now is not the time to divide responsibilities, whether it's your responsibility or the responsibility of others. Even if you want to take the initiative to take responsibility, you have to wait until everything is over."

"I, I know, Brother Chi, but, but I, I just..."

"No, you don't."

Chiyou interrupted Li Shouyun again.

"All of us, everyone in the base is waiting for you to come back. Do you want to show everyone your regretful and crying look?"

"Everyone doesn't want to see this kind of thing, and they don't want your guilt. What you need to do is to lead everyone to survive. If you really want to atone for your sins, cheer up, give confidence to everyone, and give everyone a future."

Li Shouyun stared at Chiyou blankly. He sniffed hard and slapped his cheeks twice.

yes.

What on earth is he doing?

Whether it is Chi Feng's revenge, finding Ziqing's whereabouts, or finding out where Jiang Yin went, the lives of the dead and the living.

In these cases, crying and regretting will not help.

He needs to cheer up, and he must cheer up.

Li Shouyun's gaze became firm again. Although his voice was still a little hoarse, he was no longer confused.

"I understand, Brother Chi, thank you, it's a good thing you're here, I know what to do next."

"That's right. The Li Shouyun I know is not someone who can be easily defeated. Come on, kid. Everyone is waiting for you. But before that, eat this food. You can't do anything with an empty stomach. I made this especially for you."

Chiyou gestured at the food on the table with his eyes.

Li Shouyun took a deep breath, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and quickly finished the food.

However, when he picked up a plate of meat that was a little further away and put it in his mouth, a strange taste spread in his mouth, and he almost vomited out what he had just eaten.

"Brother Chi, what kind of meat is this? It tastes so bad." Li Shouyun picked up the wine beside him and took a big sip to rinse his mouth.

"The meat dropped by a boss is a very high-level material, but it must have not been processed properly. The utensils here are too simple. It's a pity for the ingredients." Chi You smacked his lips, feeling extremely sorry.
