C28 (1/2)
After a long while, apart from my breathing, there was no other sound. I coughed out two mouthfuls of blood and slowly stood up. I picked up a stone and threw it at the rock wall, creating some sparks.
As I walked slowly to Dunlin's body, I felt around him, but there was nothing there. I felt a sense of foreboding. Once again walking towards Li Chenxi, I searched through his body, but there wasn't a single pill in sight. I panicked, I really panicked. Only now did I understand why they wanted to fight to the death with me.
They died happily, but I, in the darkness, felt the slow flow of life, a torment, a torture worse than death!
While I was in a panic, Li Chenxi suddenly sat up, grabbed my neck, and the blood that was gushing out from his throat splashed all over my face. I subconsciously grabbed his hand and used up the last bit of spiritual power I had left to heal. Li Chenxi's hands fractured and he struggled to crawl towards me for more than ten feet. After twitching for a few seconds, he stopped moving.
I suddenly realized that I was still very afraid of death. If I had died just now, I might have avoided a lot of pain, but I chose to resist.
What should he do? In this dark valley, there was no spiritual energy, no food, no medicinal pills. The despair in my heart had truly taken over my mind.
Unconsciously recalling all sorts of things from the past, my parents' loving faces seemed to be right in front of me, the laughter of my friends lingered in my ears, and Qiu Xi, with her fake and ugly face, looked down at me with contempt and disdain!
I'm going to die, but I don't want to die. No one wants to die like this, I'm human, I'm afraid of dying, I'm afraid of dying alone.
I want to live, live, take revenge, fulfill my dream... Even if I don't want revenge, even if I don't have a dream, I want to live on!
The fear of death filled my mind, and I shivered silently and sobbed. It was quiet and cold all around, and it made me feel lonely, like I was dying.
”Hahahaha …” Slowly, I began to laugh. There was no helplessness within my laughter, no sadness, only unwillingness!
I'm not willing! I am just an ordinary mortal, but I can only watch as my parents die before me!
I'm not willing! [I just want revenge. I want to be killed by my enemy instead of leaving this place!]
I'm not willing! I just want to live, but I ended up dying in a graveless place!
I've gone mad. My life is a tragedy! If there was an afterlife, it would rather be an animal than a human!
No, I can't die. I can't let my enemy live a carefree life without taking revenge. After I die, how can I face my parents!?
'Life force, I want to find a way out of this dark valley! '
He walked forward until he reached the depths of the darkness. Perhaps there was a chance for life, a chance for survival! It was as if I had found a lifeline, and although it might not even exist, I had no time for it. I crawled to my feet and ran like a madman, hoping that I would find this lifeline before I starved to death.
I kept running, kept running, no direction, no light, I don't know how many times I fell, the road under my feet was full of gravel, my body was full of bruises, bruises, and pain, but I couldn't stop them. I crashed into a rock wall. My head was torn, blood flowed from my head, and it hurt a lot, but I couldn't control it. I kept running forward, but as I kept running, my tears kept falling … I ran like this, tired, can't run anymore, I walked, I walked, fell down, I crawled, I don't know why I was so stubborn, I just think I should live, I want to live, I must live! In order to survive, this little bit of pain, this little bit of fatigue, was not worth mentioning.
Reality was not an imagination. Perhaps a little hope could give a person a great motivation. However, this motivation was sometimes a sharp knife that could make people feel powerless and despair faster.
The end of the darkness was like the darkness itself. It was a confusion, an inexhaustibility, I could not go any further, I could only hope to turn into ashes. Perhaps I should already die, and I should not have lived either. Just like how I killed so many people, they are all lives. As the reaper, naturally, there will be people or things that will reap my life.
Suddenly, in this cold darkness, I wanted to see the light, even if it was only a sliver.
The longer they stayed in the darkness, the greater their desire for light became.
