I show off when others try their best, but am I rated S-level?

Chapter 20 Thank you, brother Li Jing, thank you...

Xiaoguai didn't sleep for long and woke up at noon.

The girl who had just woken up was still a little confused, her eyes were a little out of focus, and a few naughty hairs were messy on her head. She looked confused and cute.

Li Jing stretched out his hand to gently push down those naughty hairs, and whispered softly:
"woke up?"

Xiaoguai rubbed his eyes, looked at Li Jing, and then at the hands held tightly by the two of them, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"Brother Li Jing?"

"I'm afraid you'll catch a cold, so I'll carry you to your room after you fall asleep."

"Then...then brother Li Jing, haven't you seen all my room?"

For some reason, Xiao Guai was a little shy and her face turned red.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Why, do you have anything shady here?"

Xiaoguai shook his head, quickly glanced at the photos on the desk, lowered his head, bit his lip, and asked with some anxiety:

"When you see my room, will Brother Li Jing think I'm childish, like a child who hasn't grown up yet?"

Li Jing was a little strange. Isn't it normal for a girl to have such a pink and romantic cabin? What girl wouldn't like such a pink color and these fluffy stuffed animals?
"I think it's pretty good." He touched the girl's head.

Xiaoguai was silent for a moment, and the little hand holding him tightened slightly.

"Brother Li Jing, I don't want people to think that I am still a child who has not grown up, because I don't want to be a burden to others anymore."

Her eyes drifted towards the yellowed photo under the dim light, and her eyes contained countless inexplicable and complicated emotions.

"I have been unable to do anything well since I was a child. I have no talent or ability. I can do nothing but listen to adults and be a good boy. I really can't do anything to help when a disaster strikes. , just a waste and a burden."

She raised her delicate and slender arms. If you ignore the scars on them, this is definitely a perfect work of art.

But just because it is perfect, it also shows its fragility.

When the doomsday comes and the dark cruelty of human nature is exposed due to the crisis of survival, those so-called exquisite works of art are not even as good as a bag of food, a box of gunpowder, and a kitchen knife.

"Such a fragile body can only become a drag on others, dragging down oneself and dragging down other people's lives."

"When monsters suddenly appeared in this city, when danger and death came, I could only tremble and hide behind my parents, useless and powerless."

"Sometimes I wish I could become strong enough to protect them, but I am so weak that I can't do anything."

"Sometimes I really hope that they can abandon me as a burden. As long as they abandon me, they will live a better life. However, just to protect me as a burden, they sacrificed themselves and saved me."

"My parents died like this. In order to drag me down like this, they spent their lives to find a way for me to avoid the nightmare beasts to survive in this apocalyptic world, but they will never come back, and they will never appear in my world again. around."

Xiaoguai's tone became sad and low, and his eyes filled with tears when he looked at the photo.

"Brother Li Jing."

She held his little hand tighter and harder, as if she was holding on to the last straw when she was drowning.

Unable and unwilling to let go.

"I put this photo of my parents on the table and carry it with me all the time, as if they are still with me."

"But every time I see this photo, I will think of the last scene where my parents died trying to save me. It was a nightmare, a nightmare repeated over and over in my mind, reminding me that I am this useless burden. The fact that he killed his parents and caused them to die."

"Little boy."

Li Jing held the girl in his arms distressedly, his broad arms like soft feathers gently covering the scars in the girl's heart.

"Don't blame yourself for this. You are neither a drag nor a burden. In such a dark and cruel apocalypse, it is precisely because of a kind and lovely existence like you that people can still be full of yearning and hope for the future. "

"Your parents must have come to their senses, so..."
-
Tian'an City.

The unconscious Xu Hao finally opened his eyes and woke up.

"Brother Hao!"

"Brother Hao, wake up!"

"Brother Hao, how are you?"

"I'm fine!"

Xu Hao sat up from the bed, waved his hand and smiled heartily.

"He Jian, Guan Zhi, Xie Ke, you have worked hard to take care of me during this time!"

The light outside the window illuminated his broken body on the white sheets. Everyone responded enthusiastically and forcefully to Xu Hao's heroic voice, but there was a touch of sadness in their eyes.

Although Brother Hao seems not to have been hit mentally, he has lost a leg and an arm. Will he still be able to fight in the future?
Without Brother Hao as our backbone, where should we go in the future?
Xu Hao looked at the expressions of everyone around him and the negative emotions that were not well concealed, and suddenly patted the sheets.

"He Jian, bring me a knife!"

"Brother Hao?" He Jian looked into his eyes in surprise.

Xu Hao slapped him on the forehead and said carelessly, "Come on, what does your mother-in-law look like?"

Soon, He Jian came over with a kitchen knife.

Just when everyone was wondering what Xu Hao was going to do with the knife, they saw him raising the kitchen knife with his remaining left hand and slashing at the hardened scab on his broken leg!

"Brother Hao!"

"Brother Hao, what are you doing!"

"Don't think about it!"

Just when everyone was dumbfounded by Xu Hao's actions and stepped forward to stop him, a shocking scene appeared.

At the cross-section of the wound, countless flesh and blood gush out and intertwine, forming bones, muscles, skin...

It was actually the regeneration of flesh and blood, and a new leg soon grew!
"Brothers, I know you will inevitably be a little discouraged and disappointed about the future when you see me being so seriously injured."

Xu Hao cut off the scab on the broken arm of his right hand with another knife, and new flesh and blood continued to regenerate from the wound. This tough guy didn't even frown, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.

"But we haven't lost yet, and we can't lose! We still have courage and strength!"

"Brothers, from the moment we obtain source power, we should no longer focus on common sense and regulations."

"Yuanli is not just used to strengthen our physical fitness and enable us to break the limits of the human body. It is a power beyond common sense, an extraordinary power! We must use our imagination, make bold assumptions, and carefully verify , actively explore and master the use of this power.”

"Regeneration of flesh and blood is the way to use the source power that I realized in my mind while I was in coma. But the limit of this power is far more than that. I have a premonition that it can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, call the wind and rain, move mountains and fill the sea, This is not impossible in the future.”

"Maybe even now, someone will use the source power to use the sword energy light wave that is only found in the novel."

Seeing everyone's stunned look, Xu Hao smiled and patted everyone on the shoulders and said:

"So brothers, we can't give up hope yet. Hope is never just something to talk about, but requires us to act and pursue it effectively."

He jumped up from the bed and came to the window, waving his hand proudly and pointing into the distance.

"With such magical power in our hands, why can't we have a fight with the King of Nightmare Beasts?"

After Xu Hao regained consciousness, he quickly boosted everyone's low morale, and the team's centripetal force was once again tightly condensed.

Under his encouragement, someone in the team soon figured out how to use the source power to release high-temperature flames, use the source power to make the weapons in their hands sharper and stronger, and even briefly wrap the source power around the bullet, giving it a Bullets have the effect of penetrating and bursting.

Hope is never just words.Xu Hao's awakening, as well as the cohesion and mobility of their team, made many viewers watching them truly feel the existence of hope.

Feel the shining light of humanity.

The popularity of him and everyone in his team is soaring rapidly in Blue Star.

At this time, someone who Xu Hao said might have learned how to release sword energy light waves was hiding in a corner of a certain building, avoiding another wave of nightmare beasts.

When will these days end?
Even Liu Lingxue, who never had great emotional ups and downs, couldn't help but complain bitterly in her heart when faced with the constant pursuit.

If she hadn't been lucky enough to meet another player with source power in the process, and had an extra helper, she wouldn't even have been able to take a breather to rest.

She looked to the side, where she saw a girl with delicate features and a cold expression named Yun Duo.

Yun Duo's combat power is not too strong, but the source of power seems to have strengthened her mental attributes, allowing her to vaguely perceive the surrounding environment even without using her eyes. This allowed the two of them to barely avoid the nightmare beast this time. success.

The reason why she chose to follow her was because she was curious about why so many nightmare beasts were chasing her. She felt that she must have some characteristics or reasons that attracted the nightmare beasts.

She wanted to find out why.

How could Liu Lingxue know the reason?
She only knew that starting from yesterday, when she was walking, she suddenly seemed to be struck by a halo of bad luck. Countless beasts suddenly appeared and began to hunt her.

She could only guess that after the source power in the bodies of us players increased to a certain extent, we became the most delicious prey in the perception of the nightmare beasts, and we could evolve after eating it, so they kept chasing me?

She never thought that it was because of Li Jing and Xiao Guai, a player with no ambitions and a cowardly and cowardly local survivor.

Who could tell Xiaoguai's true identity at the first sight, and who would have thought that Xiaoguai would be so possessive and jealous. Liu Lingxue had only invited Li Jing once, but in Xiaoguai's eyes, she was her Is it a sign that your beloved toy is about to be taken away and must be severely punished?
At this moment, Liu Lingxue regretted Li Jing's refusal even more.

If Li Jing had agreed to his invitation and had an extra helper, it would be easier to deal with these nightmare beasts now, right?
Liu Lingxue couldn't help but think this in her heart.

And Yun Duo followed her more out of curiosity and wanted to study her.

Having Li Jing by her side made her feel more relaxed and at ease.

It's a pity that he failed to become my companion in the end.

Thinking of this, Liu Lingxue felt even more sorry in her heart.

Quping City.

"Mr. Adams, this nightmare beast has been subdued by us, and its core is here, please."

Reeves respectfully and enthusiastically handed a knife with exquisite patterns to Ander Adams.

Ander Adams took the knife in an aristocratic manner.

"Thanks, Reeves."

"My pleasure, Mr. Adams."

Reeves stepped aside, and Ander Adams picked up the knife, looked at the faint flickering crimson light on the chest of the subdued dark and ugly monster in front of him, and gouged out the piece of flesh and blood surrounding the core.

He used a knife to remove the flesh and blood on the core, and then, amidst the shocked expressions of everyone around him, he picked up the core and placed it between his eyebrows.

"Mr. Adams!" Reeves looked at him in panic.

Everyone thought he was going to break the core to gain power, but no one thought he would do such a crazy thing!
The moment the nightmare beast's core pressed against Adams' eyebrows, scarlet light flickered slightly from the core, ominously and strangely.

Adams closed his eyes, as if concentrating or absorbing, until he opened his eyes.

A strange red light flashed from his emerald green pupils.

It was the nightmare of a child whose mother would prick his arm with a pen if he failed in the exam.

In the nightmare, everything seemed fragmented and bizarre, only the pen thrust into his hand seemed so distinct.

He threw the core back into the body of the nightmare beast, signaled everyone to let go of the suppressed nightmare beast, and then asked someone to find a pen.

"Reeves, do you believe me?"

The nightmare beast stood up from the ground again, showing a ferocious and terrifying posture. Adams handed several pens to Reeves's hand and pointed at the nightmare beast that required several players to work together to subdue it.

"Go ahead and kill him with the pen I gave you."

"Yes, Mr. Adams!"

Reeves picked up the pen and charged at the nightmare beast without hesitation.

When he saw that the terrifying nightmare beast actually became weak and powerless in front of a few pens, and was easily killed by Reeves, Ander Adams's pupils lit up.

"Well done, Reeves, the experiment was a success."

"You have lived up to my trust in you."

"We have found a way to kill the Nightmare Beast with one blow, a way to truly open up the future."

He smiled slightly, "Tonight, everyone can sleep peacefully after a relaxing cup of coffee."

"Because the king of nightmare beasts in this city will surely perish under my wisdom!"

Under the sun, Adams's tall and handsome image was as holy and glorious as a god in the eyes of everyone.

Countless barrages in his live broadcast room scrolled crazily, telling his admiration and admiration for him.

The news that Ander Adams discovered the weakness of the Nightmare Beast was quickly transmitted to various live broadcast rooms like paper snowflakes, and his popularity in Blue Star began to skyrocket.

At this time, Li Jingzheng was holding Xiaoguai while picking up the yellowed photo and comforting her gently.

"Your parents must have chosen to die with a smile in the end, without any regrets. So, little boy, don't regard their sacrifice as a nightmare, and don't blame yourself for it. You are not a burden, and you are not a burden." No mistakes were made.”

Click.

He took out his mobile phone, which in this world has lost most of its functions because of the lack of internet, and took a photo of himself and Xiaoguai.

"Just keep this photo as a beautiful memory from the past."

He put the yellowed photo into a book and sealed it, and showed the photo on his phone to Xiaoguai.

"This is our future, isn't it?"

In the photo, a man and a woman are cuddling together. Xiao Guai is in tears, looking pitiful and cute, while Li Jing has a slight smile on his lips, looking handsome and gentle.

Xiaoguai stared blankly at the photos on the screen, his eyes gradually straightened, as if he was obsessed with it.

"Is it really possible, brother Li Jing? Can I... really not have to bear the death of my parents and go on to the future?"

"Of course you can, my dear."

Li Jing smiled and scratched her nose.

"Dwelling on the past is the behavior of a weak person. If Xiaoguai wants to become stronger and grow up, he should continue to move toward the future firmly with their hopes."

Is dwelling on the past... the behavior of a weak person?
Xiaoguai raised his head and looked into his eyes dreamily, as if he had realized something.

"Thank you, brother Li Jing."

She was extremely moved and threw herself into his chest.

Thank you for helping me erase the last weakness with your own hands.
