The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 815 Self-blame
At two o'clock in the morning, on the balcony on the second floor of the villa.

Gao Yang leaned against a white stone pillar, sitting cross-legged in silence, looking up at the night sky dotted with a few stars, without saying a word.

A man slowly came over and sat down next to Gao Yang.

Jiuhan held two bottles of beer in his hand, "Would you like to drink?"

Gao Yang said nothing and seemed to be still thinking about something.

Jiuhan opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Gao Yang, who took it.

Jiuhan opened another bottle of beer and took a sip alone.

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, and then took a sip. There was a slightly bitter taste on his tongue. Gao Yang never understood why grizzly bears like to drink beer, and he still doesn't understand it now.

Gao Yang thought and took another sip.

He was slightly startled: It's strange, I don't like drinking, why did I start drinking again?

"Captain, let me report the situation here first."

"Go ahead."

Jiuhan's words were concise and to the point, and he explained the situation in a few minutes without missing any important details.

He finally concluded: "No one was killed on either side of the enemy."

A faint doubt flashed across Gao Yang's eyes, as if he found something wrong, but he didn't say anything.

He looked at Jiuhan and said in a tone of approval: "Jiuhan, you did a good job, including finding the twelve zodiac signs to help heal your injuries, but after that, we have to consider changing our hiding place."

Jiuhan nodded: "I have already scouted a few places."

Gao Yang took another sip of beer and no longer felt the bitterness: "I will also report the situation here."

"Row."

In the next few minutes, Gao Yang told what happened in Nigeria. Of course, the death of canned food cannot be avoided here.

Jiuhan's face was sad, but his eyes were firm.

Gao Yang lowered his head and twirled the half-empty beer can in his hand: "I have been thinking, if the person I brought this time was Wang Zikai instead of Keyou and Can, no one would have died."

"I don't think so." Jiuhan shook his head: "Captain, you don't know who the enemy you are going to face when you go to Nigeria. Moreover, if you take away Wang Zikai this time, the person who will die will be me. Nana and Chen Ying next to me, if it weren’t for Wang Zikai’s trouble, they wouldn’t have been able to escape.”

"Of course, if your sister hadn't coerced Gregor to disrupt the situation, Wang Zikai might have died. Things are always full of variables. All we can do is go all out."

After speaking, Jiuhan raised his head and took a big sip of wine, his Adam's apple squirming.

Gao Yang was silent.

"Captain, if there is anyone in this world who can understand your self-blame." Jiuhan paused, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "That person can only be me."

Gao Yang hesitated to speak, and finally asked with difficulty: "Jiuhan, how did you get here after the people in Group 4 died?"

"Who said I'm here?" Jiuhan flattened the beer can in his hand with a "clack" sound: "I've been blaming myself. I just kept telling myself that I have more important things to do than blaming myself. Before these things happened, I didn’t even have the qualifications to blame myself.”

Gao Yang was silent again.

About ten seconds later, Gao Yang picked up the beer, drank it all in one gulp, and then flattened the beer can with a "clack" sound.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Jiuhan stood up, gently patted Gao Yang's shoulder, and left.

Gao Yang continued to sit cross-legged and look up at the stars.

About 10 minutes later, footsteps appeared behind Gao Yang again. The footsteps were a little heavy and hesitant. Gao Yang guessed who it was and called out softly: "Pang Jun."

"Yang...Captain Gao." Pang Jun almost called him "Brother Yang," but he felt that he and Gao Yang were not that familiar with each other anymore.

"Come here." Gao Yang said.

"Oh." Fat Jun quickly came to the balcony.

Gao Yang's voice was polite: "How about Qing Ling and Ke Tuoshang?"

"It's okay." The horse stood beside Gao Yang awkwardly, not knowing whether he should sit down. "If you're not in a hurry to leave, please sit down for a while." Gao Yang patted his side and invited.

Fat Jun just sat down, still very reserved.

Gao Yang looked at Pang Jun. He was thinner than before. Although he was still fat overall, he no longer looked so vain and had better energy.

The biggest change in his eyes was his eyes. In the past, his eyes always looked timid and timid, but now, they were more confident, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Thank you this time." Gao Yang said.

"It's okay, sister-in-law... Qing Ling said that you were also seriously injured and asked me to come and take a look at you." Fat Jun said.

"Thank you." Gao Yang stretched out his hand towards Fat Jun, who held it, closed his eyes, and activated the [healing] energy to check Gao Yang's injuries.

Five seconds later, he opened his eyes in surprise and let go of his hand: "It's amazing. You were injured like that before, but now you've recovered completely on your own. You don't need any treatment at all."

"Yes." Gao Yang smiled lightly: "Because someone is protecting me."

Fat Ma seems to understand but doesn't understand, and doesn't go into details anymore.

He and Gao Yang sat side by side and looked at the night sky together.

The two of them were quiet for a minute. Pang Jun knew that if he didn't ask this time, he might not have a chance in the future.

Finally, he plucked up the courage and asked, "Brother Yang, why didn't you notify me when you established Jiu Si?"

Gao Yang was taken aback.

Fat Jun couldn't care less, and his tone was a little aggrieved and complaining: "If Officer Huang is still alive, he will definitely take me with him."

Gao Yang's heart twitched hard, as if someone had stabbed him with a dagger.

"Brother Yang, aren't we companions and family?" Pang Jun's voice was trembling: "That time, did you forget the agreement we made in the car? Or are you lying to me from the beginning? Never regard me as one of your own..."

"Pang Jun." Gao Yang felt a little guilty, "I didn't call you that because it was too dangerous. It's safest for you to stay in the Zodiac..."

"Fart!" Fat Jun shouted: "If it's so dangerous, then why did you call sister-in-law! Call Brother Kai!"

Gao Yang was speechless.

"I'm a wet nurse! You Jiu Si only need a wet nurse. As Jiu Si's boss, shouldn't you think about everyone! With me here, Jiu Si will be more secure! If you can even have such an overall view of the situation, No, you are not qualified to be the boss at all!"

Gao Yang was stunned and unable to refute.

"Gao Yang! Don't think I don't know!" Pang Jun's dissatisfaction completely broke out:
"You just don't believe me! You think I've been deceived by White Rabbit! You think I'm the kind of person who would betray his teammates for beauty! Yes, I do like White Rabbit! But I can handle big and small things! Although the Chinese zodiac signs are good to me, there is only one of you, Officer Huang and sister-in-law. We live and die together and fight side by side. Have you forgotten all this? "

"Officer Huang pushed me away for the sake of my wife and children, I admit it! But Brother Yang, why did you push me away? Why!"

"Yes! I, Han Yingjun, am incompetent! It's useless! So do I deserve not to have a true friend in this life?!"

Gao Yang had mixed feelings and a thousand words in his heart. He stared blankly at the angry Fat Jun, trying to come up with a "reasonable" explanation.

But in the end, he chose to tell the truth: "Pang Jun, I didn't call you because I was scared."

"What's the meaning?"

This time it was Pang Jun's turn to be stunned. In his mind, Gao Yang had always been brave and resourceful, growing rapidly, and had the aura of being a divine heir. He was a man with the ability and courage to challenge the Qilin Union. How could he be afraid of a small person? Where is Fat Jun?
Gao Yang looked at Fat Jun: "Ever since I woke up, I have been lying to people every day, lying to my family, lying to friends, lying to the three major organizations, lying to the ghost group... Many people are also lying to me. White Rabbit tricked us into entering the Talisman Cave. Xiao Liu, Xiangdie, and Xuanwu are all traitors of the Cangmu Cult. Long used me to help him get the energy seeds of the miraculous runes. His companion X, who he finally found, betrayed him and almost poisoned everyone. My most trusted officer Huang He shot me without hesitation for the sake of my wife, and Qilin, who has been cultivating me, will kill me at the slightest disagreement..."

"Pang Jun, I didn't call you because I was scared. I didn't know if you could still believe it at that time. I didn't dare to face it at all."

Gao Yang's eyes softened, even showing a fleeting vulnerability: "I'm used to enemies killing me, but if another friend stabs me in the back, I really can't bear it..."

"Stop talking." Fat Jun lowered his head, clenched his hands tightly, and twitched his nose: "Brother Yang, stop talking..."

"Pang Jun, I'm sorry." Gao Yang apologized solemnly.

"No, it's my fault. I shouldn't be angry at you..." Pang Jun couldn't bear it anymore and cried: "Brother Yang, I, I really didn't know you were so miserable. I always thought you were great. , very beautiful, you don’t take me with you because you despise someone like me..."

Gao Yang stretched out his hand and patted Pang Jun's thick shoulder: "Now that we have said it, it will be fine."

"Yeah!" Pang Jun wiped away a few tears and looked at Gao Yang firmly:

"Brother Yang, as long as you say a word, I won't leave today. I will be Jiu Si's from now on!"
