"Damn it, say something, or I'll really start to wonder if there's something wrong with my ears." Luo Chen looked left and right, but he just couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the voice.
The other person's voice was so weak that a normal person wouldn't be able to hear it.
"Say one more word, just one more word, buddy, it's my chance to survive!" Luo Chen screamed inwardly, desperately hoping the other person would say one more word. Just one more word and he would be able to pinpoint their location.
After waiting for a few minutes, you can hear the sound of wind whistling.
The wind gently caressed Luo Chen's cheeks, as if it were taking away his hope.
Luo Chen wasn't sure if it was a cry for help. He even began to wonder, no, he wondered if something was wrong with him.
"Damn it." Luo Chen cursed, angrily throwing the torch to the ground. Watching the flame on the torch slowly disappear, Luo Chen's heart felt as if it were gradually growing colder.
"No, no, Luo Chen, are you sick?"
"Are you just going to give up like this? Damn it, you're a super villain! You used to fight the Dragon King for a woman! You're just going to admit defeat with just a few mercenaries?"
Thick, black smoke drifted slowly in the air, while the flames following the gunfire displayed their boundless power to the world.
Luo Chen stood quietly in the center, motionless.
Yes, his life was full of ups and downs, that's how Luo Chen described his past.
From the book to the dream, one hurdle, two hurdles.
He came here.
He had to thank the system for making his life interesting again.
This power felt like it was burning him.
Luo Chen lowered his head and looked at the torch at his feet, which had lost its flame. Even without the flame, the torch could still make people feel the heat it had once burned.
Why can't I be one?
Does that mean that without the system, one is just a useless piece of trash who accomplishes nothing?
Luo Chen asked himself honestly about everything he had done.
It wasn't this incident that broke Luo Chen, but rather that it made him realize many more things.
Just like this torch, it's gone without a flame.
Can you deny its previous popularity?
In other words, this is our value.
Since you've chosen to be a human being, you should live out your own value, no matter where you are.
So what if we face the current predicament? If retreating could lead to success, then this world might not be as wonderful as it is now.
The system is just giving you an opportunity, but if you don't seize it, how can you succeed?
What is this like?
It's as if we've encountered a dozen hungry wolves on the road, and there's only one road ahead of us: run.
Would you choose to run?
Perhaps, because you have no other choice. It's not a two-way choice; you can only run.
If you don't run, you will die.
We cannot choose too much: our birth, our family, and the world as it is.
From the moment we are born, everything is already predetermined.
Some people are in Rome, some are in the mountains, and some don't even know what Rome is.
All he knew was how to survive.
It's as if what the Romans despised could be a lifesaver in his eyes.
But why should we care about all of this? The only thing we can choose is our own heart.
Sometimes, you may not even be able to choose your own path in life, let alone the path your own heart takes.
"Hehe!" Luo Chen recalled all of this as if it were a joke. Wasn't he the same? Perhaps he was one of the lucky ones who came into the book.
Forced, helpless, it seems that all of this is tightly controlling our lives.
Is it difficult?
It's very difficult; even Luo Chen can't make a change.
"Life is full of all sorts of strange and wonderful things. There is only one thing: either you break free from these constraints with your fists, or you live a muddled and aimless life. What lies in between is wasting your years."
Luo Chen slowly exhaled a breath of pent-up air, and instantly felt much more at ease.
Perhaps it was because everything had gone too smoothly that he became indifferent to many things.
"Help...help me..."
Boom... Luo Chen's mind exploded, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He heard the cry for help once again.
"On the left." Luo Chen quickly made the judgment. The cry for help was on the left, not far away, very close.
Luo Chen took a light step, not wanting any other sounds to disturb his hearing.
Is...is anyone there...?
"It's this way." When he heard the voice again, Luo Chen's heart began to slowly calm down. He walked forward for about ten meters and stepped over a small pit.
If my hearing is correct, the sound is nearby.
Luo Chen then found another torch and began searching the vicinity.
If my memory serves me right, this place was a small flat area when I came back.
This means there are no other objects around, so you just need to move the scattered car frames away.
With this idea in mind, Luo Chen secured the torch and then began digging little by little.
The massive explosion of the grenade created a small crater where a car had been parked.
This resulted in the entire car being scattered here.
After digging for several minutes, Luo Chen finally flipped the entire shattered vehicle over.
"Help me..."
As the vehicle flipped over, Luo Chen clearly heard the cry for help.
This pleased him, and he immediately began to clean up the surrounding parts.
Sure enough... a person was lying on the ground, the clothes on their entire back were completely torn, and most of their bare back was being burned, with some patches of skin even being burned black.
The unusual smell made Luo Chen wrinkle his nose; it was indeed very uncomfortable.
Luo Chen carried the man out, then gently placed him on the ground and used a torch to lift his head.
"Huh?" Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise, then touched the man's face and moved the torch closer.
"Aren't you Number Five?" Luo Chen didn't know Number Five's real name, but the other party was also a veteran of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group for several years.
When Luo Chen was watching the dance at the bar, he would often tell this kid stories.
I thought everyone was dead, but it turns out there's still one left.
Luo Chen was somewhat surprised that he had ended up buried underneath.
"Help..." Number Five weakly raised his eyelids, his dry lips trembling as he weakly uttered a sound to Luo Chen.
"Okay, I'll save you." Luo Chen put him down, then waved his medicine bag on the flat ground. After all, there were five mercenaries who came earlier, so they should have something on them.
Despite the significant impact of the grenade, Luo Chen still managed to find what he was looking for in a ruin.
Although he didn't have much medical knowledge, Luo Chen did manage to wander around the town during his time there, aside from watching dances at bars.
"The bandage is done. Let me see if I can get some water."
