MTL - How to Feed an Abyss!-Chapter 5 reunion

The off-road vehicle flew across the wasteland.

Lao He stepped on the accelerator, held the steering wheel with his left hand, and held the gun tightly with his right hand. He took a big breath, and there was a turbid sound like a blower coming from his lungs. Blood seeped into his clothes from his waist and abdomen. The off-road vehicle was crooked and almost rolled over several times.

Shi Yuan didn't know how far they had gone, but he could no longer see the lights of the camp.

Looking out of the co-pilot's window, the sun was setting, casting a raging sea of ​​blood on the ground. He took a deep breath, and smelled the smell of grass clippings, soil and water vapor in the wind, and there was a faint sweet smell of blood—it was approaching night, The monsters started to get restless. Farther away is a deep high forest, which is also the place where Shi Yuan has been walking for several months. Now Lao He has to go back to the forest in order to get rid of the pursuit.

Shi Yuan was a little confused.

He walked for a long time before he got out of the forest. If Lao He brought him back again, he didn't know how long it would take him to come out.

The car approached the forest, and just as he was about to say something, "Bang!" With a loud noise, the car body suddenly tilted and slammed into the side.

With the previous lesson, Shi Yuan fastened his seat belt this time, but his head still hit the glass.

People are fine.

It was the devil horns on his head that directly shattered the glass.

Shi Yuan: "Ah." He touched his horn, a little aggrieved.

Old He was hit badly too, opened the car door and went down, looked at the punctured tire, and uttered a series of terrifying roars. He kicked the tire desperately, pulled his hair, and cursed some swear words that Shi Yuan couldn't understand. After a long, long time, he returned to the car and sat in the driver's seat like a dead person, motionless.

Shi Yuan asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"

Lao He remained silent, rolled his eyes, and looked at Shi Yuan. His clothes were flapping, and new tentacles were moving underneath.

He just looked at Shi Yuan like this, and said hoarsely: "...you go. The station is in the east, and we only drove more than 20 kilometers away. You may still be found by them."

Shi Yuan said, "Where are you going?"

"Forest." Lao He said.

With difficulty, he rolled over to the back seat, opened the backpack, and stuffed the inhibitor and food into it. He found two compasses and threw one to Shi Yuan: "Take it, Lu Bafang taught you."

Shi Yuan watched for a while and came to a conclusion: "You actually stole two eggs from Lu Bafang."

Old He: "...?"

Old He was very confused: "What did Lu Bafang teach you..."

After Lao He finished packing everything, he could set off on foot, but Shi Yuan remained in the car.

Old He said, "Why, don't you want to leave?"

"There are many monsters in the forest." Shi Yuan said, "You will die."

He just wanted to tell Lao He this.

Lao He said: "Shiyuan, are you really stupid or fake? I kidnapped you, and you might not be able to go back alive. You just like to care about others so much? Seriously, how did you live until now? Which man raised you before?" Looking at you?" He turned his head and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, "I don't care about you anymore, I can do whatever I like."

He got out of the car and stumbled toward the woods, into the shadows of the trees.

Before he had gone far, footsteps came from behind him. He looked back at Shi Yuan, frowned and said, "You are an idiot. Get out of here, as far as you can, or I will kill you."

"You missed this." Shi Yuan said, and handed out a pistol/gun—he found it from the driver's seat. It was full of bullets in a very conspicuous place. I don't know why Lao He didn't see it.

Lao He stared at the pistol/gun for a few seconds, then smiled strangely: "Now I know you are really stupid, this is me..."

He didn't go on talking, didn't take the gun, shook his head, turned around and continued walking.

Shi Yuan asked behind him: "Do you want to go home?"

Old He paused.

"You feel homesick." Shi Yuan said.

Old He's fingers curled up, and when he turned his head, he saw the boy's soft black hair—curved horns, black scales, and long tail. His appearance resembled a legendary demon, but his eyes were so bright. Looking into such eyes, few people can lie.

A strange emotion flashed across his heart, Lao He thought of something, and his grim face softened a lot due to the pain.

Perhaps because the separation was imminent, he chose to be honest.

He said softly: "...Yes, child, I miss home very much. My daughter is in the city, and I want to go back to see her." He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch Shi Yuan's head, but in the end he didn't go down, "Son, I'm sorry for you, I hope you can live."

He fell silent.

Because Shi Yuan stretched out his hand, and touched his cheek with a cold touch—his face was broken, and tiny tentacles came out of it, but he didn't know it.

The touch on his face was slightly cool, and the pain was miraculously relieved. For a moment, Old He was stunned, and saw a few tentacles protruding from his wound, crawling towards Shi Yuan.

He was startled suddenly, and just about to back away, but the tentacles gently wrapped around Shi Yuan's fingers, as if attached, and as if... in awe and admiration.

He opened his eyes wide and looked at the boy in disbelief: "You, you..."

He suddenly recalled the scene when he first met Shi Yuan.

——At that time, the queen bee flapped its wings at high speed, and Shi Yuan stretched out his hands to it.

Lao He was at the front of the line, and he had never seen such a calm expression and eyes.

Shi Yuan does not dislike the weird appearance, nor is he afraid of the monster's huge body and deadly tail needle. He seems not to understand good and evil, beauty and ugliness, life and death. These clear and distinct boundaries are nothing to him.

No matter Shi Yuan is pure and ignorant, or really fearless...

At that moment, he was the flower in the greenhouse, the hermit in the ivory tower, the **** who strayed into the wild. When he reached out his hand so gently and caressed that ugly face, the monster was his disciple, meekly waiting for redemption.

The queen bee opened her six legs to Shi Yuan, trying to enclose him.

Old He originally thought it was predation, but now that he thought about it, it might have been a hug.

Hugs from monsters.

At this moment, Shi Yuan stretched out his hand as before, caressed Lao He's terrifying face, and said earnestly, "I hope you have a safe journey." He handed his hand/gun into Lao He's hand, "I'm sorry, I saved you. Not you. But I don't need this."

Lao He stared at him: "...so that's the case, no wonder, no wonder you are not afraid of anything, and you don't care about anything. These wastelands and forests are all yours, and they are all yours." He shook his head in pain and remained silent for a few seconds. "There is no time, I, I really have to go, Shi Yuan, goodbye, although we will never meet again."

He took a few steps back, but he looked behind Shi Yuan as if he had seen a ghost.

He was shaking like chaff.

Before Shi Yuan could react, there was a weight on his shoulder.

He was held in his arms.

This embrace was very warm, and he could hear the steady and powerful heartbeat. He tried his best to turn his head away. From this angle, he couldn't see the face of the person coming, but only his hand holding the gun.

Those hands were slender and well-articulated, holding the gun like a deadly work of art, and the muzzle was firmly aimed at Lao He.

Shi Yuan didn't understand guns.

He has seen a lot of people using guns in the past two days. For some reason, no one can give him such a feeling—he knows that as long as these hands pull the trigger, they will definitely hit his target, and there will be no accidents, just like Tired birds will eventually return to their nests, and the scorching sun is destined to sink in the west.

No, not just guns.

This person has been waiting here for a long time, he has known about Lao He's movements, he knows that he will appear here at this moment, and he also knows that he will shoot this bullet.

Old He's voice changed: "Lu, Admiral Lu..." He chattered his teeth, "Don't kill me! I have a daughter, she's only five years old! I know I won't live, I just want to go back and see her Just one glance, just one glance! She, her idol has always been you, she said that she will be an abyss watcher like you in the future, and she wants to take a photo with you, and she asked if I could see you. I want to go home, let me go , let me go-"

The sound of mourning is like weeping blood.

The man said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

He didn't show any emotion, but Shi Yuan froze from beginning to end.

It was his human voice!

He will never admit his mistake!

Old He stared at the man, trying to find a trace of emotional fluctuations on his face, but failed in the end—the handsome face like a sculpture had no waves, no raised eyebrows, no pursed lips, and no slightest expression , every inch of the line is smooth and will not be pried by external force.

He realized that the person in front of him would not be soft-hearted, and stepped forward and said: "Admiral, General, you signed the euthanasia bill, right? Because of the bill, the wounded who could not be treated died directly outside the city. Seeing the last side of my relatives, I will die like this now. What is your intention to settle down? Don’t you have any relatives? Don’t you want to watch them say I love you at the end, and then die peacefully? Living is already so difficult , Could it be that even this little wish is not eligible to be fulfilled before death?!"

Unmoved, the man put his arm around Shi Yuan and held a gun in the other.

Old He smiled, and more tentacles appeared on his face: "Oh, I forgot, you really don't have a family, of course you don't understand. You probably don't even know what love is." He slowly raised his hands, "You I won, I surrender. Take me back to accept euthanasia, or do you want to kill me directly? But I really didn't expect that you killed so many monsters, but..."

But took the most terrible monster in his arms.

Before he finished speaking, a tentacle on his body suddenly exploded, and he pulled out the short knife at his waist!

The speed and strength of the tentacles were extremely terrifying, and it was caught off guard, too fast for human eyes to catch. The moment he drew the knife, layers of tentacles covered his head. Old He smiled maniacally—he didn't realize that being able to control the tentacles meant that his consciousness had merged with the tentacles. At the end of his thoughts, he was no longer human, filled with cold killing intent and roars.

Out of the knife!

Out of the knife! Pierce his head!

The cold light on the tip of the knife is flickering, and it is about to be thrown out—

A black bullet hole appeared between Lao He's eyebrows.

The bullet passed through the tentacles precisely, and his smile froze.

The tentacles waved wildly, and gradually lost their strength as his body fell down.

he died.

They also died.

Shi Yuan was in the man's arms, turning his head sideways to see the whole process.

The man let go of his arm, stepped forward, and shot Lao He two more times in the head. Then he turned around and said, "Let's go." There was no hesitation from the beginning to the end.

Shi Yuan looked at his back, and the last ray of skylight fell on him, making the shadow long and thick. He is still expressionless, with a sharp side face, standing tall and straight, and the alliance's five-star epaulettes are shining with a dark golden luster.

We meet again.

This is not a good time for a reunion. The cold wind howled, the setting sun was like blood, and the boundless sky was burning and falling. Monsters are restless in the deep forest, birds with long tongues, undead cats, and grotesque snakes are wriggling, and soft parasites are dropped from them. On the ground, at their feet, lay a body that was still warm. The man closed his eyes for Lao He, but Lao He's hand was stretched to the east, which was the direction of the city, but he could no longer touch it. Dreamy girl with dark hair. This is a very bleak scene, this is a very helpless ending, this is extremely bad and the most common day in the last days.

But the tiny electric current gnawed at Shi Yuan's spine, making him tremble slightly.

He shouted behind him: "...Lu Tinghan!"

The wind was so loud that it swallowed up all the secrets, and he felt no one could hear it.

The man paused for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Shi Yuan.

"It's me," he said, "I'm here."
