Gao Kexin slowly opened her eyes.
Gao Songchao was a little surprised.
For a long time, every time Gao Kexin saw him, she would become extremely excited and shout at the top of her lungs.
But now...
So peaceful!
"Ke Xin, don't blame your brother."
Gao Songchao sat on a chair next to the iron bed, took out a box of cigarettes from his arms, took out one and lit it.
"My parents died early, and you are my only relative in this world."
"At that time, I was thirteen and you were only six."
"I remember that before I was twenty, I didn't seem to have had a full meal."
"At that time, people thought I was too thin and wanted to work as a sorter, but they didn't want me."
"There's no other way. If I want to survive, I have to steal."
"Every time I go to steal some food, I always want to give it to you first."
"Just seeing your little mouth full of greasy food makes me feel that even if I go hungry or get spanked...it's all worth it."
As he spoke of this, Gao Songchao's eyes became redder and redder.
Gao Kexin didn't say anything, but her eyes were red.
"Later, I heard that being a traveler would earn me food, so I followed them out of the area."
"There's something rather embarrassing that I've never had the nerve to tell you."
"The first time I left the zone, I was so scared I peed my pants."
Gao Songchao gave a bitter laugh and said, "Really? Our team originally had nine people, but two were killed by strange beasts on the way."
"I've never seen a scene like that before. When I was caught stealing before, at most I got beaten up and that was it."
"Those two people were bitten so badly that they were unrecognizable."
"But, it's not entirely luck that I'm able to survive."
"Among the two people who were bitten to death, I was the one who pushed one out."
"Originally... the beast was targeting me."
"Haha, I don't know why at the time, but I just had the idea of asking him to stand in front of me, and he... really stood in front of me."
"After I came back, I wasn't so scared anymore. I finally calmed down and figured out that my spirit servant could control others."
"I didn't expect that I could get a spirit servant the first time I left the zone."
"I've heard from many people that some travelers have to go out of the zone four or five times before they can get it."
"It must be the puppet you gave me. It has a special meaning. I was able to obtain a spirit servant so quickly because of you."
As Gao Songchao spoke, he couldn't help but smile.
"When I came back that time, the captain found me. He seemed to see that I could control others."
"I originally thought that he would kill me if the fact that I harmed my teammates was exposed, but I didn't expect..."
"Not only did he not blame me, but he told me privately that he would make use of me!"
"He said that although my spirit servants are not very powerful in combat, they have high strategic value and are worth training."
“That’s when I started to understand a new word.”
“Strategic value.”
"The captain sold the beast he brought back for a good price and gave me a thousand solas."
"Ke Xin, do you still remember how you felt when you first ate gourmet food?"
"Ten chicken legs, you and me... five each!"
“That day, I first knew what it felt like to eat all-you-can-eat gourmet food.”
"And the captain's words seemed to give me hope."
"Before that, I never knew what hope was. I just knew that as long as we were alive, that was all that mattered."
"After that, I often followed everyone out of the area and gradually got used to it. I thought this kind of life would continue forever."
"We definitely can't afford special medicine. Whenever the miasma in our bodies erupts, we'll die."
"Isn't that how everyone lives?"
"But after just over two years, the team disbanded."
"The captain is dead, and almost all the members of the team are dead."
"It's just Mingrui and I left."
"Mingrui said he wanted to follow me. Although I didn't know how to be a captain at the time, I was full of energy! I thought if others could do it, why couldn't I?"
"You know what, Mingrui is quite smart. Most of the people in the team now were recruited by him."
"I know this guy likes you, so even though he recruited all the people, he still wants me to be the captain and listens to me."
"Ke Xin! Actually, in my opinion, Ming Rui is really sincere to you."
"Five years ago, the chief's nephew raped you, and Mingrui avenged you."
"Even though we caused such a big mess, Mingrui didn't say anything. After escaping the district, he has been on the run for so many years, and he has never left me."
"Later, when we got here, even Brother Lian thought it was great that you were with Mingrui, but you...still got hurt."
"Ke Xin, the reason I gave you to Odoye wasn't because I wanted to sell you off."
"Here, it's not like in the district."
"People are dying every day. Many people are dying. If I carry you with me, I might not be able to protect you any more sooner or later."
"Even if Odoye is a little ugly and disgusting, at least you can survive!"
At this point, Gao Songchao finally shed tears.
The only sound in the room was his soft sobbing.
"elder brother."
Gao Kexin finally spoke.
Gao Songchao wiped his eyes and said excitedly: "Hey!"
"Are you here to kill me?"
Gao Kexin asked.
Gao Songchao froze.
Gao Kexin smiled.
Even though his face looked haggard at this moment, it was also dirty.
But I have to say, this smile.
