Vol 15 Chapter 1-1 (1/2)
Zheng and the others waited for everyone to come down. Kampa wasn’t the last one, though he had the worst injuries. Injuries on the body itself was much easier to heal than those incurred after unlocking the genetic constraint.
Zheng looked at that smiling face of Kampa and gave him a punch on the shoulder. Of course, he controlled his strength. Then he grabbed Kampa’s shoulders and laughed. “Man, you scared us there. And all you talked about were depressing stuff. What the f*ck man.”
He didn’t know what to say at the moment and muttered in a low voice. Then slapped Kampa’s shoulder and said. “Don’t say such depressing things again. Let us go back to the real world. Comrade…” He turned around and walked toward Lori.
“Same old rule. Meet up here tomorrow noon and discuss things at the time… Xuan, don’t pull all-nighter. We will make decisions after the discussion tomorrow. You won’t get much done with just a night. Everyone’s tired. Go get a good rest!” Zheng said without turning his head then grabbed Lori and walked to his room.
Lori looked at him with curiosity. “Are you moved so much that you are going to cry?”
Zheng glared at her and said. “Who did you say is going to cry? Do you think I am someone so fragile? F*ck. No one died, no one died!”
He placed his head on Lori’s shoulder. A few drops of tears flowed down the corner of his eyes.
Lori was shocked for a moment then she embraced Zheng’s head tenderly and headed back to the room. She kicked the door close, placed Zheng’s head on her chest and murmured. “It’s not a big deal. Sometimes a man can also cry, especially times like this.”
What could a man cry for? Ideals, hope, victory, and feelings. Feelings like that between comrades.
Zheng walked out the room refreshed the next day. There were only Xuan, WangXia, Zero, and the little girl under God. She was giggling with a big red apple in her hands. Xuan also had a red apple in his hand. He was reading a stack of files while eating the apple.
Zheng came out while holding Lori’s hand. The little girl cheered and ran over to them. She walked around Zheng timidly then leaped into Lori’s arms. She laughed out as she brought out another apple from her pocket.
Lori took the apple with a smile then gave her a kiss. Zheng walked over to the other three.
“So early. Xuan, don’t tell me you didn’t sleep last night.” Zheng said loudly.
Xuan glanced at him then pointed at WangXia. He continued reading the files without uttering a sound.
WangXia scratched his head. “Right. I got up at 9:30 this morning. He came out at 10.”
