Chapter 008: The Breakup Incident (Part Two)
People often praise Chen You for ten sentences, and suddenly someone remembers to compliment him for one or two sentences
After a brief recovery, I felt a warm liquid flowing out from my head, trickling down.
After a while, Dugu Mingcai finally caught his breath. Chen You called out, saying that the two of them still needed to go back and keep an eye out for any other rioters coming in, and they had no time to help with the cleanup.
It looks even more charming when you smile. Just say: "Brother You, I admire you the most, and I like you. I've always thought that when I grow up, I want to marry you and be your wife! But I can only wait for the next life..."
Chen You was indeed overwhelmed by the vanity bestowed upon him by others during these days, and he responded, "Yes, that's right. So, I can only put you in a difficult position; my abilities are indeed the best, aren't they?"
To ! ''
The phenomenon of the girl experiencing a brief resurgence was shorter than expected; she wanted to say something, but her eyes lost their color, and her entire being became lifeless
At this moment, a pair of originally dull and murky eyes suddenly sparkled, and even the withered yellow skin began to regain its color, becoming vibrant. Dugu Ming looked on, immensely pleased, thinking that she had suddenly recovered
The three children who are together with the two of them, not to mention those who are timid and find violence frightening, even if there are some, it is quite natural for them to choose to join the two in the future.
Chen You did not think much at the time, accustomed to speaking to him without concealment. He casually replied, "It is indeed quite satisfying. Don't you like it?"
This indeed stabilized the external image of public security, allowing many people to feel at ease
After this, Chen You gradually sensed that something was amiss with Du Gu Ming
Not long after learning to walk, the two began to play together. As they grew older, he became particularly close to the girl, and when they were a bit older, he told Chen You that he would definitely marry the girl when he grew up
Chen You smiled without much thought and said: "There’s nothing I can do; I didn’t forget to mention it either. But everyone thinks I have a lightsaber, so they always feel my contributions are greater than yours"
Dugu Ming simply said, it's nothing. I just haven't been very inclined to talk to her lately
Leading Dugu Ming, with a heart full of confusion and a lingering sense of fear, they made their way towards the base. Along the way, no one spoke a word.
Yet still managing to endure, he walked over, raising and swinging his dual lightsabers. The corpses on the ground were first sliced open, and then they ignited and vaporized.
Chen You's expression changed; he had heard from his mother that many people who carried hope would experience a phenomenon known as a "last burst of energy" just before death. It would not be long before he had to go.
Everyone arranged the best meals for her every day, yet there was still no improvement. After more than ten days of this, it became clear by midnight on this day that it was not going to work.
Chen You and Du Gu Ming's several children, sadly gathered in a circle by her bedside, some unable to hold back their sobs
This year, everyone's life has not been as easy. It requires more effort than in previous years to find work, and one must plan for more frugality in consumption.
The bandits entering the city, only a few dozen managed to escape the city, and in the end, they were either shot dead or severely injured by the pursuing mechanical police
However, it did not take long for everyone in the slums to find out.
Thus, Wang Xiaoya's mother and sister had also fainted in fright. She, along with her father and elder sister, stood there in a daze.
Little Youge's base is right here, and from now on, this place is the territory of heroes. Everyone must not urinate or defecate there, polluting the environment and causing destruction, as a sign of respect for the heroes and the sanctity of the books. If it weren't for Little Youge taking action that day, who knows how many people would have lost their lives to the mob...
Despite the support from the solitary Ming Zhao, there are two reasons for the emotional distress: first, the loss of loved ones, and second, the inherent frailty of the body. One day, while scavenging, the individual contracted a virus and fell ill.
Another year has passed in this manner. Due to the influence of the bandits at the beginning, many people in the city are worried about the same thing happening again. They cannot trust the local protective forces and have all relocated.
Before the end, a point emitting green light flew high into the sky from the city, and then, like fireworks bursting, colorful laser beams spread out and descended from all directions, trailing like a meteor shower.
Dugu Ming sensed that her words and the situation were both amiss, feeling an inexplicable panic arise within her, giving birth to a premonition: the girl is in danger!
The room was left in a state of disarray, stained only with blood; the situation was far better than it had been just a moment ago
Everyone treats heroes with enthusiasm and looks up to them. Two children, affected by the negative emotions stemming from the act of killing, gradually recover amidst the cheers, applause, and accolades.
After the girl finished speaking, her gaze lingered on Chen You's face
In the slums, many people suffer from severe illnesses due to exhaustion; some manage to recover, but their health remains compromised. As a result, many struggle on the brink of death, ultimately unable to survive
On that day, in the evening, Dugu Ming asked:
The girl cast her gaze around her companions, pausing for a moment on Dugu Ming's face, and said with a smile: "Brother Ming, you treat me the best, caring for me just like a real sister. In the next life, I wish to be your real sister."
Dugu Ming began to endure, watching the girl's pale, emaciated face, which became increasingly distressing to him, and finally he could not help but cry.
Dugu Ming agreed and turned to busy himself with the tasks at hand. Chen You did not notice that his mood was quite off and continued to busy himself as well
The slums in various urban districts have thus reduced the number of people significantly
Everyone says: "Xiao You Ge truly lives up to his name!"
That night, the energy beams from the city's guns and cannons danced wildly until just before dawn, when they finally ceased completely
The matter of Chen You and Du Gu Ming killing four bandits has been cleaned up, with no bloodstains left and no bones remaining. After the aerial police conducted a search, nothing was known.
He sought the maid less and less frequently; on the contrary, every time the maid encountered them, the words she spoke to him increased in number.
Moreover, due to the establishment of the Guardian Organization, many children from impoverished areas in various cities of the Deep Blue Nation have been continuously applying to participate under such circumstances
Once the application is approved, one can be sent for training and enjoy a life free from worries about food and clothing. Moreover, this is far brighter than struggling to make a living on the brink of poverty. Many children of various ages in the slums regard this as an excellent opportunity.
In the middle of the night, it began to rain heavily outside
When everyone began to feel tired, Chen You called over a few other children and suggested that they all go out to rest, leaving Du Gu Ming alone with the girl for a while. Leading the way, they exited the door, and the dimly lit room fell silent in an instant
In the past, I would definitely feel anxious at this time, turning back to tell him not to interact too much with the girl, warning him not to unknowingly take away the girl he likes. Nowadays, I no longer say such things
The sound of crackling fills the air. The lightning shines brightly, accompanied by the rumbling sound of thunder
That girl almost single-handedly took on all the household responsibilities. After her grandmother passed away not long ago, she moved in with Chen You to live in the base.
Chen You once again engaged in the familiar activities of these years—dreaming through images and books. The scenes remain unchanged, even though he always wishes to see the face of the winged woman behind them. He consistently misses the opportunity, always allowing his gaze to drift to her figure.
Chen You felt that the distance between the two had unknowingly grown, so he asked him what was going on with the girl
Chen You repeatedly pressed for an answer but to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to give up, yet he began to avoid excessive conversation with the girl, fearing that it might lead to misunderstandings with his companion
Before long, I was so exhausted that I fell into a deep sleep
However, he cannot abandon his mother and can only suppress his thoughts for the time being. Dugu Ming also wishes to go, but for his sake and for the girl he likes, he chooses to temporarily give it up.
In the end, no matter how much he reminded himself, he would inevitably plunge the lightsaber in his hand into the woman's body, and then awaken in fear, sorrow, and regret
Brother You, doesn't it feel good to be a hero
A group of four thousand seven hundred eighty-six frenzied rioters, with fewer than three hundred surviving to face trial and imprisonment
However, many originally bustling commercial areas, which are also the primary places where they scavenge, have become much more desolate than before
Chen You seemed to sense her gradually cooling body temperature
Dugu Ming and Chen You were inseparable, sharing in the cheers together, yet he noticed that the disparity in treatment was quite significant
Later, it was heard that those lights were the artillery fire shot by a powerful warrior from a guardian organization with a combined combat power of level 87, and because of him, the calamity was able to come to a swift end
The children in the house all began to wail loudly
The girl has not spoken for several days, too weak to open her mouth.
Unfortunately, the girl that Dugu Ming likes has also become one of those struggling on the brink of death
Caught completely off guard, he hurriedly tried to evade the approaching object with the book. However, the massive entity came at him with great speed, and before he could move his head to the corner while lying down, he felt a jolt in his head. His consciousness began to blur, and his perception dulled significantly, nearly causing him to lose consciousness.
Chen You actually wanted to join as well. That night, it was a formidable warrior from a protective organization who saved the small town, which instilled a sense of longing in his heart
The person who is most reluctant to part with the girl is undoubtedly him
The materials required behind the protective agencies, regardless of the needs of any country, are unconditionally provided by the government of the Red Nation or by consortiums of Red nationality.
The government of Deep Blue Nation faced immense pressure from both the populace and the international community, with nearly all neighboring countries forming an alliance with the Red Nation. Ultimately, under duress, it publicly apologized to its citizens and decided to introduce the protective organization of the Red Nation to help safeguard the safety of its people
Although the population has decreased significantly, life in the slums remains arduous and difficult
He felt quite uncomfortable inside. Especially when he saw the girl he liked feeling the same way, those emotions became even more pronounced.
Dugu Mingxin felt quite unhappy, believing that this was truly unfair. He said, "Indeed. Besides, you also have the skill to shoot coins, which makes you inherently more capable than I am."
Chen You returned to the small room, feeling dejected. He pondered how to discuss with Dugu Ming after the girl finished her business later. He wondered what the girl’s words would make him think.
When he woke up, as soon as he opened his eyes, another flash of lightning illuminated the world. In that fleeting moment of brightness, he saw half a figure and a colossal object, accompanied by a howling wind, crashing down towards his head
Dugu Ming said with a hint of displeasure: "Everyone only remembers you, forgetting about me. How can I possibly feel that?"
