Chapter 36: The Young Man's Death



Chapter 36: The Young Man's Death

"What did you see, kid? Are you standing here acting crazy and stupid again?" A rough voice yelled at the boy who was rolling on the ground in pain.

Blood started to flow out of the boy's eyes and flowed out through his fingers. The person who was talking then closed his mouth.

"Brother, he's in this condition. I'm afraid he might have met an expert who discovered that he was being monitored and blinded him?" the younger brother with a rough voice reminded.

The big brother was a tall and strong man with a full beard.

After hearing what his younger brother said, he couldn't help but kick the boy on the ground, "What a waste! Even this can be discovered. Let's leave quickly. We can't stay here anymore."

After the bearded man finished speaking, he called the remaining seven or eight brothers, quickly packed up their things and ran away.

"Uncle Hu, don't leave me!" The young man couldn't see and tried to get up despite the pain. However, because there were pebbles on the river bank, he fell down again before he could stand firmly.

He had no choice but to stretch out his hands and fumble around on the ground, but his hands suddenly touched the fire. Blisters immediately formed on his rough hands, and he rolled on the ground twice in pain.

But his hand was hurting so much that he ignored the danger in the river and reached out to soak his hand in the water to relieve the pain.

Unexpectedly, when he just touched the river water, his hand was grabbed by another hand and he was dragged away from the river.

"Who? Is it Mr. Hu? Are you back again?" The young man fumbled around on the ground, trying to touch the person who had just dragged him.

Chu Xihen took two steps back and said, "No, I was just passing by."

"It's you? I remember your voice. You were the one who killed my owl." The boy suddenly became terrified. He struggled to get up from the ground and tried to run away.

But it was his first time as a blind man, and escaping was extremely difficult. He fell every two steps and fell back to where he was. After trying for a long time, he still couldn't move more than two meters.

The young man finally gave up, climbed up, knelt down and kowtowed, "Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't have peeked at you. They forced me to do it. If I didn't help them, they would have killed me. Now they've abandoned me and run away. Master, if you don't mind, please spare my life. I will follow you and work like a slave for you!"

Chu Xihen then took a closer look at the young man. He was completely dirty, his clothes were tattered and stained, his face was smeared black, and his true appearance could not be seen, especially his hair, which was so greasy that it could be used for cooking.

If he hadn't known that the end of the world had only been coming for a few days, he would have thought that the boy had already been struggling in the apocalypse for ten years.

It must be man-made to be so dirty. The boy must have disguised himself on purpose.

But Chu Xihen was more interested in the boy's supernatural powers.

"Can you ward off beasts?" Chu Xihen asked.

Hearing this, the young man stopped kowtowing. Although he seemed to be kowtowing very hard, his forehead did not touch the stone at all. "I can't say I can control beasts. The biggest thing I can control right now is the owl just now."

He used to control sparrows, but after two days of scorching sun, many common birds were killed. He was cornered by the bearded man and had no other options. Tonight, he tried to control an owl for the first time, but he was discovered by Chu Xihen just as he established visual contact with the owl!

"Where did you get this skill from?" Chu Xihen asked again.

This young man doesn't seem to be very capable. He probably didn't get the skill card from killing aliens, and certainly not from a dungeon. If he could get this special skill in a dungeon, then his strength would definitely be good.

If someone hides his strength and worships and begs him, then he can endure more than he can.

The young man was silent for a moment, then he confessed, "It existed before the apocalypse, but at that time I could only communicate with some birds. After the apocalypse I discovered that I could control them and share vision with them."

He possessed special skills before the apocalypse, but he was not a survivor of the game. He was a chosen one like Lou Su and Bai Jinli!

"What's your name?" Chu Xihen squatted down and looked at the boy's tightly closed eyes. There were two streaks of blood flowing under his eyes on his thin face.

"My name is Lingyao." said the young man.

Chu Xihen was stunned for a moment, "01? Code name?"

This made him mistakenly believe that the other party was an experimental subject that escaped from a laboratory.

The boy corrected her, saying, "It's not the number 01, it's the spirit that means smart and clever, and Yao is the spirit that means dying young."

Chu Xihen frowned slightly. Both Ling Yao's last name and first name were very strange.

He exchanged a bottle of medicine from the mall for Lingyao, "Apply it on your eyes yourself. We'll continue our conversation when your eyes are better."

Ling Yao took the medicine with trembling hands, and then applied the ointment on her eyes little by little, fearing that if she moved too much, the medicine would be wasted and she would get beaten.

And he also knew that this medicine must have been exchanged from the dungeon mall. Such a precious thing was given to him by the big guy, shouldn't he cherish it?

The ointment felt cool when applied to his eyes. After a few minutes, his eyes were able to open and the things he saw went from blurry to clear. Then he saw Chu Xihen sitting not far away and staring at him.

After seeing Chu Xihen's fair and clean appearance, Ling Yao couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.

This guy is really brave. How dare he go around alone in the middle of the night when he looks so eye-catching?

It was because the Hu gang was too frightened that they didn't consider that the one who attacked him was just a weak-looking pretty boy, otherwise Chu Xihen would be in trouble tonight.

But now is the end of the world, as long as you have a very strong skill, it is not impossible to fight ten people alone.

Maybe Chu Xihen just has very strong skills?

The main reason was that the owl he controlled died too early. Not only did he not see what Chu Xihen was doing in the woods, he didn't even see how the other party blinded his eyes.

"What should I call you, Big Brother?" Ling Yao had just come of age, so it was right for him to call Chu Xihen Big Brother.

He felt that if he called him "Master", the other party might not be happy to hear it. After all, it was obvious that Chu Xihen was not a vulgar person like Hu Gang.

"My name is Chu Xihen, you can call me whatever you want." Chu Xihen looked at him, "Do you still have points?"

Ling Yao shook his head. "No, I was robbed by Hu Gang right after I left the dungeon. They were the same people who escaped before you came. I don't have any points or cards."

So before Chu Xihen came, his life was in the hands of Hu Gang and the others, and now it is in Chu Xihen's hands again.

"How did you meet them? Have you ever tried to escape?" Chu Xihen thought Ling Yao was not a very obedient child. He must have been beaten badly by Hu Gang and the others and that's why he became so obedient.

"I ran into them right after I left the orphanage, and all the useful things on me were snatched away. After they discovered my ability, they kept me here and asked me to be their eyes. When I saw someone nearby, I would snatch their skill cards and points." Ling Yao lowered his head when he said this.

He was afraid that Chu Xihen would see the resentment and anger in his eyes.

As long as he is not dead and Hu Gang and the others are not dead either, he will avenge this grudge sooner or later.

"How did they discover your ability?" Chu Xihen knew Ling Yao's look at the moment without even looking.

Ling Yao whispered, "They beat me to a pulp. If I didn't tell them about my abilities, they would have cut off my ears."
