Chapter 84 Joining the Protagonist Group
People did not leave immediately. |
No one could tell where the Frost Ghost was right now. Maybe he was nearby, watching them. If they left in batches now, they might be attacked.
None of the teams present had the confidence to escape the Frost Demon's blade.
The best way is to stay in the temporary base and wait until dark before risking leaving. Although there are dangers of zombies and vision suppression, at least you don't have to worry about the frost ghosts.
Li Shouyun buried Zhao Ganghai in the basement. He dug the pit very deep to prevent mutant creatures from smelling the blood and digging out the body.
For the next day, Li Shouyun was very silent and lacked energy no matter what he did.
"Shouyun, don't blame yourself. This is not your fault." Jiang Chifeng sighed.
"Yes, Shouyun, Ganghai definitely doesn't want you to become like this." Tang Zhou also said.
Zhao Ganghai's death.
It wasn't because Li Shouyun made any stupid mistake.
No one can do anything when attacked by the Frost Ghost.
"If I were stronger, would things be different?" Li Shouyun leaned against the wall, looked up at the dirty ceiling, and sighed for a long time.
Jiang Chifeng and the others did not answer. They were also thinking, if they were stronger, would Zhao Ganghai not have died?
"Since you know that this tragedy is caused by your own weakness, then don't feel sorry for yourself here. The right thing to do is to work hard to become stronger."
Everyone turned to look at the door.
"Mr. Chi." Several people greeted him immediately.
Li Shouyun stared at Chi You blankly, then slowly lowered his head and asked in a dull voice: "Brother Chi, were you feeling the same way at the time?"
The reason why Chiyou hunted down Frost Ghost was because his team was wiped out by Frost Ghost.
Although it was very rude to ask this question directly, Li Shouyun, who was experiencing the death of a teammate for the first time, urgently needed counseling from someone who had had this kind of experience.
"Ah, that's about right. To be precise, I should regret it more than you do now."
"At first, I kept thinking, what would have happened if I hadn't left? What would it have been like if I had fought alongside my friends when the Frost Ghosts attacked the base?"
Chiyou walked in front of Li Shouyun and slowly squatted down.
"About half a month later, I figured it out. It's useless to keep complaining and hating myself. What we should do is shoulder the will of our friends and live for those who have not survived."
As the villain, inspire the protagonist.
This is a very strange thing.
However, don't forget that the protagonist Li Shouyun is not as fragile as he looks.
It will take him a few days to recover from his current condition.
Letting Li Shouyun continue to be depressed will not have any impact on him, and his stable fortune is the best proof of this.
In this case, why not take this opportunity to get closer to the protagonists?
Chiyou patted Li Shouyun on the shoulder, stood up, and took out two cards from his waist pocket.
"Eat something. Being hungry is not the same thing."
Chi You tore open the cards and distributed some food to everyone. Li Shouyun held the bread in one hand and the energy drink in the other, staring blankly at the ground.
Jiang Chifeng seemed to want to say something, but Chiyou raised his hand to stop him and shook his head at him.
Seeing this, several people chose to listen to the advice of Chiyou, who had actually experienced this kind of thing.
A few people came to the door to eat. Halfway through the meal, Jiang Chifeng asked casually: "Mr. Chi, where are you going next? Are you still going to chase the Frost Ghost?"
This is actually just a casual question, and in their hearts, the answer must be yes.
After all, we have chased him all the way here along the river, so it is only logical to continue chasing him.
"I won't chase you anymore."
Unexpectedly, Chiyou gave an answer that was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Why? Are you surprised?"
"It's... a little unexpected. I thought..."
"Do you think I will continue to chase him?" Chi You took over the conversation and laughed at himself. "No, I can't catch up. After this time, I have finally understood that it is impossible to kill Frost Ghost with my current strength. When I advised Shou Yun just now, I was also advising myself not to indulge in hatred. I am going to find a place to level up, and when I become stronger, I will go and deal with Frost Ghost."
In that case, Mr. Chi, would you like to join us?
Jiang Chifeng really wanted to say this, but when the words came to his lips, he just didn't have the nerve to say it.
The encirclement and suppression plan has failed, and they certainly cannot stay in this city any longer. It is too difficult to move to other cities with dozens of ordinary people. It is difficult for them to guarantee that there will be no casualties. But if Chiyou is willing to join, there will be no problem.
Chiyou was able to chase the Frost Ghost for such a long time and he is still alive. Even if he is not as good as the Frost Ghost, he is definitely much stronger than them and he will not be wiped out in one encounter.
But to invite him with words is really too shameless.
Chiyou carries a deep hatred on his back, and he must want to become stronger as soon as possible. They are so sad just because a companion died. How deep-rooted must the hatred be for Chiyou, who has lost his whole team?
Not only can they not be of any help, but because there are so many ordinary people in the team, they will definitely be a burden to Chiyou.
With all that going on, how could they have the nerve to ask Chiyou to join them?
"What's wrong? You seem to have something to say?" Chiyou said.
"No, nothing."
"Okay, stop beating around the bush with me and just speak your mind."
Chiyou stared at Jiang Chifeng.
He was also a little impatient.
He said so.
This kid hasn't even mentioned letting him join the protagonist group?
There are just a bunch of ordinary people in their base. Do they have the ability to relocate on their own?
There's such a thick thigh standing next to me, and you can't even hold it?
Hearing this, Jiang Chifeng lowered his head, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said it in one breath.
"Mr. Chi, I know that what I am going to say next is shameless and excessive, but if possible, I would like to ask you to join our team. Although we are not very strong, we will work hard. If not, I would like to ask you to escort us for a while. I know this is really shameless. You should want to become stronger as soon as possible, and we don't have much to pay you, but, but we, we..."
"Okay, I understand what you mean." Chi You interrupted Jiang Chifeng.
Looking at Chi You's tense expression, the light in Jiang Chifeng's eyes slowly faded. It turned out that it still didn't work.
"I promise you."
"What did you say?"
Jiang Chifeng raised his head suddenly.
"I said, I can help you escort those ordinary people, or I can join you, but I have to see the situation. If I don't feel comfortable in your team, I will leave at any time."
"This, this is of course, but, but why, are you willing to help us?" Jiang Chifeng was quite puzzled.
Chiyou patted Jiang Chifeng on the shoulder, glanced at Li Shouyun who raised his head, waved his hand, left a few words, and left the room.
"Just do good things and don't worry about the future."
