Chapter 832 I definitely don’t just want your body! (29)

Children born after the war have no idea about classrooms, just like when adults occasionally say that candy is sweet, they have no idea because they have never touched it.

The World Tree is the place that all children yearn for.

But what the boy didn’t say was that Shuangye didn’t live to see the day when the World Tree appeared. She died in the plague that broke out after the war.

He was only seven years old at the time. He wanted to save Shuangye, but in the end, he was still carried away from the war zone by his parents who were holding back their heartache.

His parents cried and told him, "Your brother is gone. We only have you. Don't let anything happen to you!"

At that time, they didn't know that there was already a little life in their mother's belly, a weak life born in the flames of war. It didn't die from the plague or the mouth of the beast. How could this not be a miracle?

Sanye lay on his brother's back and said happily, "Brother, let me tell you something quietly. Mom and Dad said they wanted to send me to the World Tree."

The boy paused.

San Ye was very happy, with the expectation and innocence of a child, very childish, "But I think my brother is better than me, and he should be more qualified to go to the World Tree than me. But mom and dad said that the World Tree chose me, brother, it doesn't matter, when I go to the World Tree, I will make a wish so that my brother can be as happy as me."

The World Tree is where happiness lies, this is the cognition instilled in every child.

The young man lowered his brows and said in a muffled voice: "After you go to the World Tree, will you not come back like them?"

Sanye's joy faded, and he felt sad, "I don't want to leave my brother and go to the new world, but I will definitely be taken to the new world. If I could make a wish to take my brother and mom and dad with me."

"It doesn't matter." The young man comforted his brother, "Mom and Dad will be waiting for you. Maybe one day the passage to the new world will open, and we will meet again."

Sanye was happy, "Well, we will definitely meet again!"

"No! None of you can go to the World Tree!"

Bai Yao's voice was swallowed up by the air, and any movement she made could not echo in the ears of her older and younger brothers. Even though she knew that no matter how much she said, it would be in vain, she still subconsciously wanted to stop it all.

The wind was suddenly piercing, and dangerous sounds were heard from the surrounding bushes. A pair of dark green eyes came closer and closer, as if they were examining a lone prey and considering how to attack it.

Bai Yao was the first to notice that something was wrong around her. She shouted: "Run! Li Ye, run!"

The boy paused.

San Ye asked: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"I think I heard someone calling my name." Li Ye looked around, but didn't find anyone, but noticed a pair of wild animal eyes peeking from the dark. The moment

the prey noticed it, the wild animal in the dark jumped out.

They looked like wolves, but also like more ferocious tigers and lions. Their dark bodies were twisted and terrifying, and the smell of decay made people want to vomit.

This should be a safe area away from wild animals. There wouldn't be so many wild animals here. It must be because there were more hungry wild animals, so they could only go farther to find food.

Sanye hugged Liye tightly in fear: "Brother..."

Liye tried his best to stay calm and slowly put down the small wooden barrel in his hand. When a wild animal rushed up, he quickly lit the torch. Wherever the flame passed, the beast instinctively retreated.

It was during this time that Li Ye ran back the way he came, carrying the child on his back. Behind him was the beast wrapped in the smell of decay, chasing him relentlessly. He did not dare to look back, let alone stop.

The faint light of the torch flickered in the night wind, like a meteor that would fall into the dark wilderness at any time.

The malnourished body could not support the desperate steps of the person struggling to survive, and the torch in his hand could not support it for too long, and it would eventually go out.

They fell to the ground, and dirty water splashed on the muddy land. At the moment when the torch was about to fall into the puddle, Li Ye lay on the ground and quickly reached out to grab the torch.

"Brother... Brother..." San Ye leaned against Li Ye, looking at the approaching beasts in fear.

Li Ye put the torch into Sanye's hand, "Sanye, do you see that direction? Keep running in that direction, that's our home."

"Brother, let's run back together!"

Li Ye said decisively: "You go back first and find mom and dad, they will come to save me."

Sanye shook his head and cried, "No..."

"Sanye, don't cry!" Li Ye pulled the boy up forcefully and pushed him in the direction of home, "Now only you can find mom and dad to save me!"

Sanye staggered a few steps after being pushed, and still didn't move when he looked at his brother.

Li Ye said: "Run!"

Sanye cried out, holding the torch, turned around and took steps towards the place called home.

The beasts tried to go in the direction of Sanye, but a stone thrown over made them change their minds. Compared with the prey holding the torch, the prey in front of them looked easier to eat.

The moment they rushed over, Li Ye also quickly fled in the opposite direction.

After running for a long time, he had little strength left in his body. The air stung his throat with a bloody taste when he breathed rapidly.

He seemed to have auditory hallucinations.

"Li Ye, don't stop!"

"You can survive!"

"You can definitely survive!"

The boy wiped away the sweat that was about to flow into his eyes. In the blurry and trance state, he seemed to see the figure of the girl.

He couldn't die.

In this terrible world, he tried hard to live every day. He put in so much effort and was unwilling to die like this!

The increasingly heavy footsteps were oppressing his breathing. He knew very well that he could not hold on for much longer. Before his last bit of strength was exhausted, he turned in another direction.

A small wild dog-like animal jumped out. Bai Yao blocked the boy, but the wild dog passed through her body, knocked down the boy behind her, and bit his arm.

The wild dog's sharp teeth tore at his flesh, blood splattered everywhere, and Li Ye had wounds so deep that the bones were visible. He endured the pain and struggled desperately. When the wild dog tore off the flesh of his entire arm and swallowed it, he used his other hand to support himself to get up and continued to move forward crookedly.

There was a sign saying "Danger" in the area in front of him. His figure tilted and fell into a pit.
