Chapter 2: Alone

In the next second, she darted out swiftly, quickly rummaging through the belongings of the deceased

Heidi, with a face full of defiance, was still causing a scene, even wanting to call her own brother and younger brother over.

... ...

You have long been divorced, so you have no right to make any demands! Moreover, I do not intend to donate my body; arrangements for cremation will be made next. You need not waste any more time.

But without money, how can a disabled person survive here

Hastily pressing the "call button" by the bedside, Lu Hongbing grabbed his son's hand and said in a hoarse voice

... ...

Dr. Leila explained: "Harvard University's biological laboratory is collecting the genes of East Asians; you should seize this opportunity"

The little girl was incredibly bold, actually taking advantage of the chaos to sneak into an unattended shop for a "0 yuan purchase"

It is likely that the average person would find it difficult to distinguish them from the impression of "special forces"

Toby explained with a cold smile: "Mom, living people are worth much more than dead ones"

At this moment, she has come to the door with her son, clearly indicating that the visitor is not here with good intentions

Such well-equipped and well-trained forces resemble a government army even more. In contrast, the actual government army collapses at the slightest touch

Seeing his father becoming increasingly agitated, Lu Li quickly interrupted, "Stop overthinking, focus on getting better, and in the future, when I earn money, I will take you back to the country"

This is a residence specifically prepared for terminally ill patients, where a middle-aged man, looking haggard and in poor health, lies on the hospital bed, his body filled with tubes

The two individuals had faces full of excess flesh, exuding a strong sense of hostility, and it was clear at a glance that they were not of good character

She pointed at the mother and child with a face full of disgust and said, "Get them out of here!"

Lu Li cautiously glanced around and saw the bodies of government soldiers scattered haphazardly across the library, while the drug lord's guards had already departed

Lu Hongbing spoke too urgently, his voice trembling slightly

AR-15 standard rifle, complete with typical camouflage uniform and all necessary tactical gear

In her regret, Layla could not help but feel a sense of admiration. After all, not everyone can resist the temptation of vast sums of money, especially in times of extreme poverty

Lu Li, your name signifies 'brilliant radiance', and your life should have been like this... It is I who have harmed you, I am truly sorry, I am really sorry...

At this moment, Lu Hongbing forced a smile and said, "You have arrived... Huh? What happened to you?"

This lady is the attending physician, Leila. She took out a document and said: "The donation of your father's body requires your signature..."

It is not a problem, a handsome young man of summer descent still lives nearby, and he is not difficult to find

But Toby suddenly grabbed her and obediently left, only casting a deep glance at Lu Li before departing

He then stood up; there was nothing seriously wrong, only that the prosthetic had come loose

Well, if you insist

After all, having experienced the ravages of war, a simple wash cannot erase all traces, not to mention the faint scent of gunpowder that lingers.

Seeing that the truth could not be concealed, Lu Li could only nod and casually say, "They are having quite a lively time; I am fine."

Meanwhile, Lu Li hurriedly made his way to the "Tijuana General Hospital"

Lu Li sensed that something was amiss; his father's emotional fluctuations were too intense

Looking at his disabled son, Lu Hongbing's face showed a look of sorrow: "Just now, the drug lord and the government troops exchanged fire... did they get you involved?"

Yet when a person dies, it is as if a lamp has been extinguished. In Lu Li's heart, there is little resentment, only endless sorrow—henceforth, in foreign lands, he is left all alone.

How could Lu Hongbing not know that his son was comforting him? Overcome with sadness, he spoke with a heart full of guilt:

This is clearly an attempt to exchange a corpse for money, and Lu Li immediately furrowed his brows

Lu Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief, first going to the restroom to tidy himself up from his disheveled state, and only then did he arrive at the "Anning Ward"

Although one may be alone and powerless, Lu Li still took a step forward and said coldly

Leila took the initiative to contact the funeral home to arrange for the cremation

In the midst of the commotion, heavy footsteps suddenly approached, and four burly hospital security guards surrounded the scene

Lu Hongbing slowly said, "I found a way to donate my body, which can exchange for quite a bit of money"

He repeatedly said sorry, the flush on his face gradually faded, his eyes lost their luster, and the hand he was holding fell down dejectedly

Fortunately, this place has not been affected; it is merely overcrowded, filled with civilians injured in the conflict

When Lu Li saw them, his expression immediately turned stern

But Lu Li directly shook his head: "No need, I want to take him home."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Lu Li's hand showed a hint of hesitation

The corpse of the yellow monkey can be sold for 3000 dollars! Where is the money!

I brought this upon myself, deserving to die far from home. But you are innocent and should not have to live this way; it is I who have harmed you

After leaving the hospital, Heidi was very dissatisfied with her son's cowardice: "Toby, what is wrong with you! This is 3,000 dollars!"

He had just left when the flower-selling girl ran back with a bunch of "spoils," wanting to express her gratitude for saving her life

This is Lu Li's father—Lu Hongbing, a nuclear physics doctor who should have had a bright future.

After a short while, one group chased while the other fled, gradually moving further apart, and the scene became quiet.

Stop messing around, let's leave it at that and save some money. Moreover, I have had enough.

Dr. Leila kindly reminds: "Donating one's body not only contributes to medicine but also provides a subsidy of 3,000 dollars"

In her view, people of the yellow race are overly timid and easily bullied. Even if they dare to resist, they are no match for the local tyrant.

Just as everything seemed to be settling down, suddenly a man and a woman, both with brown skin, burst in.

The drug lord's guards could return at any moment, and Lu Li was also worried about his father, so he quickly left after securing the prosthetic limb

Lu Hongbing's cancer is largely caused by this woman

The father repeatedly said he had no face to return, but Lu Li knew deep down that he dreamed of returning to his roots.

In the late stages of cancer, only symbolic measures were taken for resuscitation

Lu Hongbing tightly grasped his son's hand, his face growing increasingly red

Pressing the "call button," medical staff quickly arrived.

The woman is named Heidi, and the man is named Toby; they are a mother and son.

The security guards placed their hands on their waist holsters and coldly said, "Please leave"

Indeed, Heidi opened her mouth wide and let out a shrill scream unique to middle-aged women

This seemed to become a signal, prompting many civilians to rush out from their hiding places to scramble for the spoils, resulting in a chaotic scene of pushing, shoving, and fighting.

In broad daylight, the heavily armed guards formed a tactical formation, providing mutual cover and coordinating between infantry and armored units to advance.

Upon hearing these words, Heidi was suddenly taken aback

Lu Li slowly extended his hand to close his father's eyes, which were filled with reluctance and guilt

Those with a weak constitution should avoid extreme joy and sorrow. Lu Li quickly reassured, "I understand, just focus on your recovery."

If the previous extra care for Lu Li was due to his good looks, now it is accompanied by a touch of sincerity

Heidi immediately screamed, "No! Absolutely not! I am the ex-wife, and I have my rights! No one is going to take my money away!"

The act of saving someone just now was entirely instinctive and done without thought

This statement lacks sincerity; Lu Hongbing is well aware that once he lets go, his son will definitely refuse to accept the "donation of his body"

Son, you must walk the path ahead by yourself. Be sure to live well! If you have the chance, you must return home, but please, under no circumstances mention me to anyone

I searched left and right, yet I could not find that pleasant and handsome older brother

The gunfire erupted on the streets, resembling a festive celebration. The cries for mercy and the wails of those facing death rose and fell in succession

Her son glared at Lu Li with a sinister look, his robust physique complemented by two tattooed arms, exuding a considerable sense of intimidation

The little girl was unscathed, her pair of amber-colored eyes sparkling as she eagerly gazed at the bodies of the government soldiers.

At that moment, a knowledgeable lady dressed in white approached and comforted me

Seeing his father's serious expression, Lu Li quickly focused and listened attentively

She has her eye on an antique shop, and with a bit of luck, she might find some gold jewelry

The bullets whistled as they darted everywhere, causing the walls to crack and shatter, while Lu Li huddled tightly behind, not daring to show his head

In just a moment, a strange flush of red appeared on Lu Hongbing's face as he stammered:

The armed guard of the drug lord is similarly equipped with the same gear as that of the Star Alliance Army

No one knows a child better than a father. Lu Hongbing certainly understands that his son will not accept this, but this is the only thing a dying person can do

This abnormal state is akin to a person's moment of clarity before death, and Lu Li repeatedly nodded in agreement with his father's words

"It can't be cured, and I have no face to go back now." Lu Hongbing sighed a few times, then suddenly became serious and said, "By the way, there is something I need to tell you."

Upon hearing the currency unit "dollar," Lu Li found it somewhat strange, as it should be "peso" here.

Harvard is a prestigious university in the Ivy League, and 3000 dollars is also a significant amount of money

Take it easy; this may not be a form of liberation.

Lu Li politely declined: "There is no need for this, please help me contact the funeral home to arrange for cremation"

In order to obtain Mexican nationality, Lu Hongbing entered into a sham marriage with this woman, only to have her take advantage of her local connections and extort a considerable amount of his assets.

Upon hearing this, Heidi immediately understood her son's intention, and a wide grin spread across her face, revealing a grotesque smile that was a mix of greed and excitement

Untie the straps and secure them again, while looking at the flower-selling girl

The father indeed caused himself great suffering; back then, he forcibly took me to smuggle into the Star Alliance, resulting in being shot in the leg by the border patrol, which led to amputation

Listen to me! You must obtain this money at all costs

Lu Hongbing grew increasingly anxious, just as he was about to offer further counsel, a look of pain crossed his face, and his complexion turned pale in an instant

But this young man actually wants to burn the valuable corpse! Is he insane!

It is evident that this was called by Dr. Leila
