Chapter 136 Leaving Area A2
chapter 136
Xu Shunming held his sword and did not step forward.
Fu Lian immediately shouted, "Xu Shunming... I've observed him. This barrier only lasts for half an hour. After half an hour, Lu Yu will regain his invincible form, and no one can hit him. Let him go this time, and there won't be a next time!"
The commander stepped forward...
Upon seeing this, Lu Yu immediately shouted, "Are you crazy? Your brother is inside my body! He's not dead yet, at least his soul still exists! You really...!"
"Who the hell gave you permission to speak?!"
Fu Lian pounded on his head, hitting him relentlessly. "So what if his brother is inside you? He's just a soul that can't do anything. You might as well kill him; that would be a relief for him. Do it, Xu Shunming!"
Upon hearing this, the commander immediately raised his head.
Lu Yu screamed in panic, "Your brother has been fighting me inside my body for your sake! You can't do this to him! If you kill me, you'll be betraying him!"
Meng Youcheng, who was outside the barrier, was also stunned.
In fact, he had already noticed something amiss. Xu Guo had once said that Lu Yu mainly relied on absorbing souls to make the other party fear him enough, so that he could better integrate the soul. Although Xu Shunming tried his best to appear brave, there were some subtle fears that Lu Yu couldn't possibly have missed...
There must be a reason why this monster hasn't killed him yet.
Unexpectedly, this reason became a double-edged sword. For Xu Shunming, his brother was very important to him, and it was his brother who had always protected him. If he really killed Lu Yu, wouldn't that be killing his beloved brother?
Xu Shunming's hands trembled uncontrollably, and tears filled his eyes...
He took a step forward, then pulled back.
If Fu Lian hadn't discovered that only a knife could cut off Lu Yu's head, and hadn't had to control his abilities, he really would have wanted to punch this monster to death right now!
"Akiko..."
In this dilemma, when everyone was at a loss, an extremely gentle voice came from Lu Yu's mouth. At this moment, the monster's face also underwent a subtle change.
That voice belongs to Xu Shunjin.
Upon hearing the voice, Xu Shunming remained motionless for a long time before suddenly raising his head, "Brother...!"
As the word slipped out, tears streamed down my face.
"Kill my brother..."
Xu Shunjin's voice was very gentle, and it was the first time in Meng Youcheng's life that he had heard such a gentle voice.
His tone was gentle as he spoke slowly, his voice choked with emotion, "Although I really wanted to live, but... I have no choice. I'm already dead, and all that remains is a wisp of my soul. I wanted to protect you, but I'm sorry..."
"Brother might be going to break his promise."
Xu Shunming burst into uncontrollable tears, his hands trembling, and he almost knelt down.
Just then, Lu Yu's voice rang out again, "Xu Shunjin, you big bastard, you broke your promise, you're unworthy of being a general! I'll fuck your mother! I promised you I wouldn't eat him, so you should keep your promise and become a part of my body, right?!"
"Akiko..."
Xu Shunjin regained control. He didn't reply to Lu Yu's words, but said softly, "Stand up like a warrior. You will always be your brother's pride. This opportunity took me three years to finally gain control. Don't let your brother down..."
"You are now a commander-in-chief, and you should know the responsibilities on your shoulders. Your brother has taught you that no matter what happens, you must resolutely complete your mission, even if the opponent is me. Your brother believes you can do it..."
"Kill your brother. Don't let him down. You will always be his pride."
Xu Shunming wiped away his tears, gripped the knife tightly, leaped forward, and swung the knife down...
At that moment, the world seemed to stand still.
Lu Yu's head and body were split in two. Xu Shunming half-squatted on the ground, his sword supporting him. Only when the monster's body fell did his hands involuntarily tremble.
In the distance, there seemed to be two children. The older brother was holding the younger brother's hand and saying to him, "I will always protect Akiko."
As Lu Yu's body plummeted, control remained in Xu Shunjin's hands. A tear rolled down his cheek as he gently said, "I'm sorry, I might not be able to protect you anymore. You must live well, live well..."
Lu Yu is dead.
Xu Shunjin's soul also perished at this moment.
The green barrier thus disappeared.
Xu Shunming didn't stand up, remaining stunned for a long time. After a while, he suddenly burst into tears, crying out, "Ah—!"
He cried uncontrollably, like a child, his sobs heart-wrenching. Moments later, he collapsed to the ground again. He gazed up at the dark sky, tears streaming down his face…
"Brother...don't...don't leave me!"
Fu Lian wanted to step forward and comfort her.
Meng Youcheng grabbed him, saying, "Let him have some peace and quiet."
……
Originally, they planned to wait until Xu Shunming was in better spirits before preparing to leave, but time waits for no one, and today is the day the gates of area A3 open.
Unlike A3, he didn't need to install the token a day in advance; he could install it on the same day. Moreover, he could leave at any time. After Fu Lian begged for nearly three hours, Meng Youcheng took pity on him and gave him half an hour to stay there.
Xu Shunming was forced to take out a draft paper, pick up a pen, and look at Fu Lian next to him. "Do I really have to write this now? I haven't talked to him in so long, and I don't know his current interests. And more importantly, I haven't thought of how to phrase it. I'm scared..."
The boy patted him on the shoulder. "What's there to be afraid of? If you don't know how to write it, I'll teach you. Just say, 'I love you, I fucking miss you so much, come see me whenever you have time, I fucking want to be with you forever!'"
Meng Youcheng couldn't stand it any longer, "Stop being so motherly!"
Fu Lian smiled. "I'm used to saying this, you won't find me annoying, will you? I haven't found you annoying, so you can't find me annoying!"
Xu Guo said angrily, "Don't be shameless here, stay away from the Major General!"
"cut……"
Fu Lian ignored him and instead tried to massage Xu Shunming's shoulders. "Don't fucking try to cheat. I've already done you such a huge favor. Hurry up and write, hurry up and write. I'm leaving when the time is up!"
The commander picked up his pen and wrote a single word: "I".
I was just about to write the second word, "love," but I stopped.
Fu Lian's smile vanished instantly. He asked, puzzled, "What? Keep writing. Your handwriting is pretty good, isn't it?"
Without saying a word, Xu Shunming crumpled the draft paper into a ball and threw it aside. He let out a long breath, took out another draft paper, and said, "I'll write it myself."
So, with a determined look in his eyes, he began to write...
Ah Quan, it's been so long since I wrote to you. Do you still remember me? I can't forget you. Fu Lian told me about your predicament, and I understand. Because now I am also a commander, and I love you very much, just like before. Every night I miss you, but now our positions are special...
We are both commanders of our own factions, and no matter what, we should stand firm at our posts until all the mutants are wiped out and the A1, A2, and A3 regions are completely unsealed. That day will be the day we are reunited after a long separation.
Time flies, it's been a long time since we last met, my longing for you is intense, but my love remains unchanged.
I know you are a shy boy, and I can understand why you haven't been in touch with me. I went through some changes recently, so I haven't taken the initiative. This time I'm taking the initiative, and I hope to receive a reply from you.
Although we cannot meet in person, we can chat about the future through letters. I really want to read your words. I remember my teacher saying that your handwriting is the most beautiful. I miss you dearly. If I don't know what to say, I'll just say that your love for me has never changed.
After finishing writing, Xu Shunming finally let out a long sigh of relief. "I'm done."
Fu Lian smiled and sighed, "Sigh, I'm so envious. I really want to know what he'll say back to you? Knowing his personality, it'll definitely be very interesting. Too bad, I can't wait any longer, I'm leaving soon..."
The commander stood up, bowed to them, and said, "Thank you..."
Meng Youcheng remained silent.
Xu Guo remained silent.
Fu Lian waved his hand, "No need to thank me, there's nothing to thank me for. Just consider it as me doing a good deed and accumulating some merit before I die. Maybe in the future, I can be reincarnated into a peaceful world."
Xu Guo shoved him irritably, "You talk like it's all your doing!"
Fu Lian: "Me...?!"
Xu Shunming looked at the boy, "No matter what, I want to thank you all, whoever you are. Actually, I've discovered that you're not like the rumors suggest. You're not as fierce as they say; on the contrary, you're kind. Do you know where this path you're on leads? Your future..."
Fu Lian smiled slightly, his face completely unconcerned. "What future could I possibly have? I'm just a mutant, what's the big deal? I'm going to die sooner or later anyway, so I don't care!"
Xu Shunming stared intently at him. "If... you weren't a mutant, you would probably have become a brave major general, wouldn't you?"
These words immediately left Fu Lian at a loss for words.
His eyes darted away, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally turned and left. "I'm not saying anything more, I'm going to die. Major General, what are you still standing there for? Weren't you in a hurry?"
