I felt an overwhelming sense of relief!
At that moment, the first thought that crossed my mind was sheer luck!
If I had come down just a little later, Lu Jianguo might have already succumbed to the urge to put that bullet in his own head.
At that point, I would have been left with nothing but a cold body, and I might not even know how to face myself.
Looking at Lu Jianguo, my heart, which had turned icy from too many losses, suddenly stirred with emotion. A wave of sadness washed over me, and I could no longer care about anything else. I set aside Zaxi and Chen Yu, bent down, and hurriedly lifted Lu Jianguo into my arms, holding him tightly.
I had already lost Xiao Xiao and the bowl; this time, no matter what, I would not let Lu Jianguo slip away from me.
"Wait here, I'll go get some medicine!"
I remembered that we had some emergency supplies in the back of our car. Gently placing Lu Jianguo down, I turned and stepped out of the forest. In the parking lot littered with corpses, I found a body roughly my size and changed clothes. Then I went to the trunk to grab some hemostatic medicine and bandages.
When I returned to the forest, Lu Jianguo was already sitting up, staring intently at the bowl and Xiao Xiao's lifeless form. Upon seeing me return, he shook his head repeatedly and looked deeply into my eyes. "Both of them are dead? What about Furball?"
A pang of sorrow hit me; I had no words. Silently walking over to him, I used his Divine Whip to cut open his wound and extracted the bullet lodged in his leg. The bullet had gotten stuck in the bone. As for the one in his abdomen, it was a high-caliber round that had penetrated straight through; there was no bullet left inside. I sprinkled some hemostatic powder on him and quietly began to bandage his wounds. His injuries were severe; without immediate treatment, I feared he wouldn't survive. However, given our current conditions, all I could do was a basic patch-up. Once we got out of here, he would need proper medical attention—especially for that abdominal wound where his intestines were exposed. It could only be temporarily stitched up; we would need a professional to reopen it and sew it properly later.
Suddenly, a heavy slap landed on my face—it was Lu Jianguo who struck me.
I realized what was happening just as he raised his hand to hit me, but I didn’t dodge. After he finished slapping me, I slowly brought up Zhou Jing's situation.
Meanwhile, tears welled up in Lu Jianguo's eyes as he delivered two more hard slaps across my face before asking, "Does it hurt?"
I shook my head.
"Remember these three slaps," he said through gritted teeth. "From now on, grow up and learn how to be a leader."
Lu Jianguo continued fiercely, "If you don't have the guts to be ruthless, you won't stand firm. Remember this: as a leader, one wrong decision can cost lives!"
I nodded.
Then Lu Jianguo lit a cigarette and fell silent.
After a long while, Lu Jianguo asked me, "Do you remember what those people looked like?"
"I remember," I replied, gritting my teeth. "I will never forget them."
"At the Sun and Moon Alliance, they caused your brothers to suffer defeat. For this grudge, their lives cannot suffice; they must pay with their family's lives! No, they must pay with the lives of their entire clan!"
Lu Jianguo spoke each word with emphasis. "Since we are already in this situation, we might as well kill all these enemies and find out who set you up! A debt must be repaid to its owner; that is the rule. If they broke the rules first and harmed your brothers, then you need not hold back. Annihilate their entire family."
A chill ran down my spine, and I couldn't help but tremble. "I understand."
Once I had finished bandaging him up, I helped Lu Jianguo to his feet and asked, "Uncle Lu, can you still drive? If you can, take the bowl and Xiao Xiao and leave first. I'll attract the attention of the Sun and Moon Alliance. We need to split up to break through. There is something particularly terrifying lying dormant beneath the Sun and Moon Alliance, and it is slowly awakening. I estimate that once it wakes up, it will immediately come after me. If you're with me, I fear we won't be able to escape. Facing that thing alone, I might not even make it!"
Lu Jianguo raised an eyebrow, hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "I can drive."
"Then it's settled."
I hoisted the bowl and Xiao Xiao again and supported Lu Jianguo as we walked out of the forest. On the way, I inquired about his situation.
It truly made me sweat; Lu Jianguo's gathering point was not far from the headquarters of the Sun and Moon Alliance. It was located on a mountain behind those western-style buildings in the headquarters' rear garden. That area also belonged to Qixia Mountain; it was high and steep, with an incline of nearly seventy to eighty degrees. The view was exceptional; from that position, sniping would easily target every corner of the Sun and Moon Alliance!
The Sun and Moon Alliance had set up five sniper points there, all equipped with .50 caliber ultra-long-range sniper rifles. I couldn't help but feel grateful that we hadn't launched an attack at the beginning; otherwise, just those snipers would have likely led to our demise without any chance of survival!
Lu Jianguo explained that those five snipers were all top assassination experts from the overseas branch of the Sun and Moon Alliance. They had never participated in the Dragon-Tiger Dual Rankings competition because they were exceptionally gifted in assassination techniques. Thus, they separated from Lu Jianguo's group for specialized assassination training. They were considered ace experts internationally, so dealing with those five snipers had cost him quite a bit of effort; the gunshot wound on his leg was left by one of them.
Fortunately, he acted quickly. After taking care of those five men, he provided us with fire support. However, once the Sun and Moon Alliance's forces raised the Mountain Protection Barrier, he could no longer assist us further. Later on, he was discovered by warriors from the overseas branch hidden in Qixia Mountain and fell into a tough battle. He fought here for three nights without giving up; he relied on the movements within the headquarters of the Sun and Moon Alliance as his motivation. As long as there were no signs of retreat from headquarters, it meant that the battle was not over; as long as we weren't wiped out here, he would always have a reason to fight!
Three Nights
I, Reverse Fate, have endured for three long nights. It is hard to imagine how Lu Jianguo managed to hold on through such intense battles for so long. I think the countless corpses scattered around provided me with the answer.
I helped Lu Jianguo into the vehicle and we agreed that once he broke through, he would travel a thousand miles directly to Tibet, where the Sun and Moon Alliance had fewer spies, making it relatively safe. I instructed him to contact the old man. At this point, we both paused, then embraced and cried. I gritted my teeth and said, "Old man, I've finally avenged you! We swept through the headquarters of the Sun and Moon Alliance. I hope you can rest in peace!"
Afterward, we agreed to meet in Tibet in half a month.
Half a month—I thought that would be enough time for me; at least I could settle some scores!
As for whether I could escape from whatever lay dormant beneath the ruins of the Sun and Moon Alliance, I had no idea. One step at a time!
After giving my instructions to Lu Jianguo, he drove away with the bowl and Xiao Xiao, while I remained in the parking lot, silently drawing my Azure Dark Sword from my waist.
On the path of revenge, I tread upon blood!
Let it begin today.
I am willing to stain my hands with blood and sin to cleanse myself of the guilt I feel towards my brothers!
