Chapter 174 The Final Farewell
"Third brother, third brother..."
The gray-haired man hugged the remaining half of the body and cried out in pain.
The grief in his heart was so great that he couldn't cry. He just opened his mouth and made a desperate and hoarse sound from his throat.
Using the energy provided by the crystal core given to him by Qiao Lan, he replenished a little bit of his physical strength, crawled hard on the snow, rolled and tumbled, and finally returned to the previous house and found his companions who had been blown to pieces.
The companion with explosives tied to his body hugged the perverted boned woman tightly, trying to die together.
But the woman had a strange golden light that blocked the explosion, so she did not die. Only her poor companion died.
This world leaves very few ways for ordinary people to live, and the way to death is also very narrow. Even if they want to fight to the death and perish together, they don't seem to be qualified. It would just be ridiculous to harm themselves.
"Third brother..."
The man hugged his companion, whose upper body was left and whose stomach and lower head were completely blown away, and poured energy into his companion one by one.
He is an awakened healer who can heal the wounded.
Even though he knew his companions were beyond saving, he still tried to gather the little bit of energy in his body from the crystal cores and kept brushing them over, brushing them in vain and despair.
"Monkey Four, is that you..."
The companion in his arms suddenly spoke.
"Third brother?!"
The man was shocked and quickly put his ear to the other person's mouth to catch the faint sound.
"Monkey Four, it's you, right? You're here to heal my...injury?"
Almost inaudible words emanated from dry lips, mumbling incoherently. Only half of the man's body remained, his eyes wide open, pupils dilated, a state of death with eyes still open. Who would have thought he wasn't completely dead yet, speaking as if a spirit had returned?
"It hurts... My stomach hurts... It hurts..." He said, "This is retribution, retribution. When you were killed, I... I hid outside and watched you die without helping... I deserve this horrible death..."
"Third brother! No! You haven't awakened yet, and you can't fight, so you should just hide!" The gray-haired man screamed and begged, "Don't talk, brother, don't talk, hurry up, gather your strength and come back to life, I will heal you, I will heal you!"
His eyes were red, and he was madly draining away the little energy left in his body and using all his strength to treat the other person.
But the severed stomach was covered in blood and flesh, it was a horrible sight, how could he survive?
While he was treating the disease, he felt desperate and frightened.
His companion stared blankly, unable to see anything, and said weakly, "Forget it, just gather your strength. Don't... worry about me. You have to live... live on, live for everyone... Don't, don't think about revenge, just survive, just survive..."
"Third brother, stop talking!"
"I'm dying. Let me tell you... Monkey Four, don't seek revenge. They're too... too dangerous. There must be some perverted accomplices. Hide well... and stay alive... It's so wonderful to be alive. Look at me, I want to live but... I can't."
"Third brother..."
“It hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts…”
The white-haired man had run out of energy and could not continue treatment. His companion trembled and cried, saying that his stomach hurt.
His stomach and head were blown away, but he didn't know it and just said it hurt.
"I didn't lick the soles of her shoes, I... licked the ground, hehe..."
My companion smiled, but the corners of his mouth suddenly froze.
This time, dead.
"Yes, Third Brother, I know you love cleanliness the most, so you definitely didn't lick the soles of the pervert's shoes."
The white-haired man was stunned for a moment, then reached out with a trembling hand and closed his companion's staring eyes.
In vain, he continued the conversation: "You are very clever, Third Brother. You have fooled the bad guys. You have killed many people."
It seemed as if if he continued talking, his companion would come back to life.
"Third brother, I'm sorry. I... I was already awake at that time. I... I saw you being captured by them, but I wanted to recover for a while and look for an opportunity to assassinate them. I'm sorry! I wish I had acted sooner!"
The man lay on his dead companion, trembling all over and in excruciating pain.
"If I had acted earlier, you..."
"If you had acted earlier, he would have chosen to die together with you. He had been determined to die since he was dragged into the house."
Qiao Lan, who was behind him, took over the conversation.
After a brief conversation with Ye Qi, she walked over here and heard the two people's final conversation.
——If I had acted earlier.
This assumption, she also asked herself.
She tried to comfort this strange man, but she couldn't comfort herself.
She is stronger in combat than them.
She has been hiding, spying, and watching.
Not helping strangers whose background she didn't know was a habit she'd developed over the years of enduring the apocalypse. Compassion, guilt, and self-blame had long been worn away by the cold experiences she'd endured. She could now watch others die before her with a clear conscience, unconcerned.
But this time, she felt bad.
When you see that ordinary person licking the ground fawningly, just to get a chance to die together.
Seeing this white-haired man would rather be killed than spit out a mouthful of blood and phlegm on the enemy before his death.
And when I saw him trying in vain and obsessively to use his healing power on the third brother's half body.
They were strangers meeting each other and no one knew each other, but she felt bad!
If, if she had taken action earlier.
Take action before the woman surnamed Zhang discovers the "third brother".
Or, before the woman made a move on the white-haired man.
Even when they met during the day, she would take action earlier...
Could it be that these strangers would not die?
She hid herself, but she still made enemies with the pervert gang! After that White Bone Demon escaped, he would definitely come back for revenge. So why did she hide?
"Come with me."
After a moment of silence, Qiao Lan pulled the white-haired man up from the ground.
"?" The man looked at her in surprise.
"You asked me to save you? Then come with me. What's your name?"
"My name is Hou Si... No, my name is Hou Tian."
The man asked three times before he was willing to believe that Qiao Lan really wanted to take him in, a seriously injured person.
Serious injuries are a burden and will consume medicine and food.
"Thanks!"
He thanked Qiao Lan solemnly.
He wants to live.
But he was seriously injured and lying in the snow, waiting to die.
If Qiao Lanken took him away, it would be like giving him a life.
He asked Qiao Lan to wait for two minutes, and finally hugged his third brother's body. He then found the bodies of several other companions at the explosion site. Some were intact, and some were blown up. He said goodbye to them seriously.
"This is our final farewell. The next time we meet, it will be when I die and come to find you."
He took one last nostalgic look at his companions and returned to Qiao Lan.
Qiao Lan told him apologetically, "Maybe it's not the last goodbye, it's the second to last."
The man didn't understand.
Then his eyes blurred and he found that the bodies of his companions had all disappeared.
Then, the bodies of the enemies who died in the two explosions also disappeared.
The dilapidated house, the surrounding ruins, and a few patches of snow all disappeared, revealing the wet and cold ground beneath the snow.
Qiao Lan took all these things away.
Clear all traces of the battle, and if the enemy comes back to pursue you, try not to leave them any clues.
Then she took the white-haired man and used her spatial ability to travel through the snow. For safety reasons, they did not return the same way, but took a detour in circles.
They found a messy ordinary ruins from a distance, released the bodies of their male companions, and buried them in the ruins as a resettlement.
"Goodbye, this is the last time."
"Oh... okay."
The man who was shocked by Qiao Lan's supernatural power still hadn't come back to his senses after saying goodbye to his companions again.
Qiao Lan pulled down her mask and said, "Your name is Hou Tian, right? My name is Qiao Lan, and I have a few companions. I'll introduce them to you when we meet later."
She also gave him a low-level impurity crystal core and asked him to use it to remove the snow poison he had been infected with.
The man stared at her face, frowned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "...I seem to know you."
