Chapter 132 Xu Shunming
chapter 132
"My brother said that you should stay clear-headed and smile so that others can't see your inner fear. Only in this way can you see the enemy's weaknesses."
"But brother, facing such a monster, I seem unable to calm myself down at all. No matter how much I do, no matter how hard I try, it seems I can never be its match, and I can never avenge you. What should I do?"
……
Fu Lian poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and then cried out in pain, "Oh dear, is there really no way to fix this?"
Looking at the heartbroken look on that loser's face, Meng Youcheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's wait and see."
Just then, a "wailing" sound came from behind.
Everyone immediately perked up, thinking they had misheard. They turned around and looked, only to find that they hadn't.
At some point, Xu Shunming opened his eyes, tears streaming down his face. He raised a hand to cover his eyes and made muffled noises.
Meng Youcheng and the others stood up, hesitated, and walked over.
Fu Lian was pleasantly surprised to see him awake, but his joy vanished instantly when the other man cried. "Are you... alright?"
"Why am I so useless? Waaah..."
Xu Shunming's voice was very weak. Everyone moved closer and they could hear him clearly. He was crying as he said, "My brother and I depended on each other for survival. He was so good to me. When we were little, he would always give me the best things first. He said he would take care of me for the rest of his life..."
"But later, when I grew up, I fell in love with A-Quan. Since we were both boys, I didn't dare tell my brother and had to keep it a secret. Later, my brother found out, but he didn't blame me. He said he just wanted me to be happy and live a joyful life, and it didn't matter if I liked boys. He also said that even if the sky fell, he would hold it up for me..."
"A-Quan and I are going to be separated, and we may never see each other again, so I want to elope with him. When my brother found out, he didn't blame me. Instead, he prepared a lot of things for me to use on the road. He told me to be careful on the road and not to come back after I left, because we are deserters. If we come back, we will be punished. My brother is afraid that I will be punished..."
"Actually, I didn't go to the appointment that day either, because on that day, Lu Yu appeared. My brother was escorting me away from the A2 area when we ran into this monster. It killed my brother and ate him right in front of me..."
"I want to avenge my brother, sob sob... but no matter how hard I try, I can't beat him. Lu Yu is so powerful, his antlers pierced my body, it really hurts. Before my brother died, he told me to run and not look back..."
"I want to go find Ah Quan and live a good life, but... how can I do that? My brother has been so good to me. If I can't even avenge him, what's the point of my life?"
"Waaaaah..."
Xu Shunming cried for a long time, then said, "I'm sorry to A-Quan, because I'm destined not to live past 23. I can't beat Lu Yu, and I don't want to be a burden to him. As time goes by, he will forget me, sob sob sob, but I... really..."
"I don't want to die, I really... I want to avenge my brother!"
His tears soaked the entire bedding and continued to flow uncontrollably.
Fu Lian felt heartbroken watching this scene, but he was powerless to do anything about it, so he could only roar helplessly.
Meng Youcheng remained calm and listened to everything he said. "What if we don't go out?"
The boy seemed to have grasped at some hope. "What did you say?"
Meng Youcheng continued, "Don't go out, don't fight that guy. Stay here and conserve your strength. Let him come in on his own. If I'm not mistaken, if he wants to kill someone, he'll have to build a barrier. Then we can enter the barrier and capture him!"
"As long as we make full preparations and arrange warriors in every corner of the city to prevent him from killing, each warrior should wear a whistle. When he sees Lu Yu, he should blow the whistle, and then the two of us can capture him. He is very fast, so if it doesn't work once, we can try twice."
"In short, he can't kill anyone, and no one wants to fight him. After a while, if we don't catch him, he should lose interest in this place."
Fu Lian was both surprised and delighted. "What a brilliant idea...!"
Meng Youcheng pondered, "There might still be oversights. This method isn't comprehensive enough. I just thought of it."
He looked at Xu Guo beside him, "What do you think?"
The lieutenant pondered, "The book provides very little information about that monster. Perhaps it has some hidden skills? But for now, this does seem to be the best approach."
Fu Lian jumped up excitedly, "I think this is a great idea! As long as he dares to show his face and erect that barrier, I'll fucking beat him to a pulp!"
Meng Youcheng nodded, glanced at him, and said, "Am I still... a useless old man?"
Fu Lian was stunned. "Huh?"
"I guess I'm not a useless old man anymore, am I?"
The boy immediately understood what he meant. "I'm sorry, I... I was just too anxious back then. Actually, I'm the useless old man. I shouldn't have said that to you. You're really amazing, at least more amazing than me..."
Meng Youcheng frowned. "Didn't you say you wouldn't apologize?"
"That was...!"
He swallowed back his earlier excitement. "I've already apologized, what more do you want? Fine, I'll take my pants off and have some fun with you!"
Meng Youcheng hesitated for a moment, then finally waved his hand and said, "Nonsense."
Fu Lian immediately laughed, "What are you pretending to be so prim and proper for? We're both men, I know you perfectly well. Don't you have needs? You want them too, right? What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Guo said anxiously, "You're a really strange person. You were just anxious about someone else's business, and now you're here, shameless as ever. Besides, the Major General is the main force in this matter, how can you still have the mind to annoy him?"
"Is it disgusting?"
Fu Lian immediately slumped onto Meng Youcheng's shoulder as if he had no bones. "Does the Major General find this disgusting? I think I'm being perfectly normal. Isn't this just a perfectly normal sentence? Besides, I think the Major General would be very happy if I offered myself to him, wouldn't he?"
Meng Youcheng glanced at him helplessly, "You're so strong, I'm not interested in you at all."
"What do you know?"
Fu Lian grabbed one of his hands...
Upon seeing this, Xu Guo anxiously said, "Stay away from the Major General!"
"No way..."
Fu Lian first raised an eyebrow at Xu Guo behind him, "The Major General and I are like an old married couple. A little ambiguity is none of your business. Mind your own business!"
He grabbed Meng Youcheng's hand and placed it on his stomach. "Feel this yourself. This isn't fat, it's muscle, you know? I'm a 185cm muscular PE student!"
"Others would be begging for this, you should be secretly happy!"
Meng Youcheng withdrew his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned and left.
"Where are you going, honey?!"
Faced with the boy's rude words, he could only reply, "Going to the toilet!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Lian immediately ran to Xu Guo and said, "Did you hear that, Vice General? I just called him 'husband,' and he not only wasn't angry, but he also replied to me. What does that mean? It means he's fallen for me and has accepted this title. In the future... if we have a child, I'll let you be the uncle, okay?"
Xu Guo's forehead veins bulged instantly. "Get out!"
"You're a mutant, yet you dare to dream of being with the Major General? That's utterly delusional! You even talk about having his children? Do you even have the ability? Can you even give birth?"
Fu Lian clutched her stomach, laughing shamelessly, and said, "Oh, you can't have children? Don't think everyone else can't. Everyone's body is different. People who can't have children will spend their whole lives in the cold palace!"
"Sorry, but I'm about to take over. Ever heard the saying, 'A father's status rises with his son's?' Later, I'll be pregnant with the Major General's child, so you'd better take good care of me and don't even think about giving me abortion pills!"
Xu Guo pointed at him angrily, "You...!"
"I won't listen, you're just spouting nonsense!"
……
After just one day of rest, Xu Shunming was mostly recovered. He must have been used to this kind of injury before.
However, some old wounds are still difficult to heal.
Meng Youcheng told him about his plan.
Xu Shunming had never tried this before because he was afraid that Lu Yu would retaliate. He wanted to shoulder the responsibility of being a good older brother and protect the people of this area, so he always answered Lu Yu's requests.
He had no choice but to agree.
Each warrior carries a whistle and takes turns patrolling the streets 24 hours a day, visiting every corner and every place. He also gave whistles to every resident, saying that if they saw anything strange, especially a monster with a human body and deer legs, they should blow the whistle!
For five days in a row, nothing unusual happened.
It's in the plan, since it's not time for the PK yet.
Today is the fifth day, and Xu Shunming has recovered most of his health. Meng Youcheng repeatedly told him that he must not go to the appointment tonight, and arranged for several warriors to guard the commander's door.
Just when everyone thought everything was going well.
But at night, a piercing flute sound suddenly rang out from outside the city walls.
Everything has changed.
