The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1094
"What are you talking about?" Chen Ying asked.

"The living can never catch up with the dead."

Chen Ying nodded: "I've heard similar words."

Jiuhan continued: "The people in Group 4 are all dead. Whether or not I take revenge can't change this. The spirits in heaven comforting them are just nice words. In the final analysis, revenge is to give myself an outlet."

Jiuhan glanced sideways: "Chen Ying, after avenging Xiaotian, have you really let go of Xiaotian?"

Chen Ying's eyes were a little red, and she shook her head: "I still can't let go, but it's not as painful as before."

Jiuhan nodded: "In the final analysis, revenge is a selfish thing."

"What's wrong with being selfish?" Chen Ying didn't understand: "If you don't care about yourself, how can you care about others?"

Jiuhan explained seriously: "Chen Ying, you misunderstood me. What I want to say is that I am also selfish. I will take revenge if I can."

Chen Ying was confused.

Jiuhan's eyes were firm and sincere: "But there is another saying that is right, the dead will never be greater than the living."

Chen Ying was stunned.

"So, the companions around you must have priority over the dead companions." Jiu Han glanced at Chen Ying, then looked at the bonfire and figures not far away.

"If I have to choose between 'avenging the dead' and 'protecting the living', I will always choose the latter."

Chen Ying's eyes were moist. She quickly turned her face away, sniffed, and hid the tears in the corners of her eyes into the darkness.

After a while, she turned around calmly and met Jiuhan's bright light green eyes: "Jiuhan, you must take me with you on the day of revenge!"

"Why?" Jiuhan asked.

"I want to help you because..." Chen Ying's eyes were blazing and her voice was gentle: "You are the person I want to protect."

"Thank you." Jiuhan said with a serious smile and a serious attitude: "But no."

"why?"

"It depends on the current tactics. Your talent is not suitable for the front line."

The smile on Chen Ying's face froze, and she resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

——Stupid straight man who doesn’t understand the charm!
……

At the same time, two girls were sitting next to the campfire.

Hong Xiaoxiao was wrapped in a blanket, sitting on a coat with her legs together, holding a thermos cup in her hand, drinking coffee and milk. This was a habit she learned from there.

After drinking a few sips of the hot drink, Hong Xiaoxiao's face was flushed and her body was warm, but her heart was not as relaxed and comfortable as she had been when fishing.

Hong Xiaoxiao felt melancholy for a moment, then turned to look at Le Le, "Sister Le Le, do you still have family?"

With her legs resting on her notebook and still writing and drawing with her head down, she casually replied: "No more."

"Oh." Hong Xiaoxiao held the thermos cup and looked down at her sneakers: "I feel very complicated right now."

"Tell me about it." He didn't stop writing.

"How should I put it?" Hong Xiaoxiao bit her lower lip and organized her words, "I really didn't expect that it turns out that beasts are people, and it turns out that my family is really my family."

"Listen carefully to the class, classmate. Didn't Teacher Baili say that the two are not simply equivalent?"

"Well, I know." Hong Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled bitterly: "My current family is not real. They may be a collection of many 'people who should have existed'. The love my current family has for me is also A collection of the love that a lot of 'people who were supposed to have' had for their children, right?"

"Well..." After thinking seriously for a few seconds, he said, "I think so."

"Then, among all this love, maybe there is also the love that my real family has for me?" Hong Xiaoxiao smiled.

"Maybe it's true," Liao said.

"Hey, I don't know what you are talking about." Hong Xiaoxiao hugged her knees, buried her red face between her legs, and her hands stained red by the firelight tightened her clothes little by little.

"You just miss home." Liao said.

"Well..." Hong Xiaoxiao's voice revealed a suppressed cry: "I, I miss my parents, grandpa, and younger brother... They still think that I am on a business trip in the West... I, I haven't contacted them for many days. , they can't contact me, they must be very worried, my mother likes to think wildly, maybe she thinks something happened to me and calls the police... They will disappear in the end, I can't repay their kindness in raising me, and I can't even follow them. They bid farewell well..."

He put down his pen, sighed, and stared at the fire in front of him in silence.

After a while, he gently consoled her: "Hong Xiaoxiao, they won't really disappear. They just return to the living beings where they should exist. They still exist in the world and are still with us."

"Really?" Hong Xiaoxiao raised her head, her face already full of tears.

"Of course it's true." Liao smiled: "But, the premise is that we humans can win."

"Yeah!" Hong Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.

"Tsk, tsk." He smacked his lips: "Speaking of which, you are really optimistic. Didn't you listen to Teacher Baili? Every session before has failed. Can we really make a comeback? This is what you have to worry about. Bar?"

"It's okay." Hong Xiaoxiao shook her head and smiled easily:

"I don't know why, but I just feel that Captain Gao Yang is very powerful, Teacher Baili is very powerful, and everyone is very powerful. There will definitely be a way. I'm just a soldier, and I just have to do what I can do."

"Haha." Liao couldn't help but pinch Hong Xiaoxiao's face, "You are really a little brain with great wisdom."

"Stop making fun of me." Hong Xiaoxiao touched her face.

He smiled and picked up the notebook again.

Hong Xiaoxiao leaned over curiously. The notes were very neat and organized, with various annotations. They were indeed the study notes of a top student.

"Sister, you are so smart and yet you work so hard." Hong Xiaoxiao admired her very much.

"A good memory is not as good as a bad pen." Liao Liao smiled: "Besides, Tengu has to sleep for a long time. When he wakes up, I will give him notes directly, so I don't have to help him make up lessons."

"Oh!" Hong Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and she smiled evilly: "It turns out that the drunkard doesn't care about drinking. Sister, I didn't expect you to like the type of tengu?"

He closed the notebook with a "snap" and deliberately showed a greasy smile: "Who doesn't love a little wolfdog? He has a simple mind, a crisp voice, is easy to push down, and easy to train. When he is in a good mood, he will give him a few bites of food, and when he is in a bad mood, he will give him a few bites of food. Whip to serve..."

"You, you, you... are doing this again!" Hong Xiaoxiao's face was red, and there was already a shameful scene in her mind. She quickly got up and walked to the underground laboratory, "I won't tell you anymore, go to the bathroom."

He watched Hong Xiaoxiao leave, feeling proud in his heart: "Small, if you want to challenge me, you're too young!"
"Haha." A familiar laughter came.

She was shocked and turned around suddenly. Douhu crouched behind her at some point and was coming to get the beer from the beer box when she happened to hear her sarcastic remarks.

"Okay, can't you see, it's quite a fun time."

"No!" He blushed and said, "Uncle Tiger, it's not what you think!"

"Don't worry, when Tengu wakes up, I will convey your love to him word for word..."

"No, Uncle Hu, please listen to my explanation...don't leave! Listen to my explanation...kill me! Otherwise, kill me now!"
