Chapter 95 Perseverance
"What, you still want to go!?" This time not only An Cheng, but also Du Jiujiu looked at him in shock.
Luo Yucheng was leaning against the bed, the large patch of bright red on his chest particularly dazzling. He nodded, his eyes full of unquestionable determination.
"Brother, so many people have died for this mission. Even if you give up, no one will blame you! It's so dangerous outside now, and you're injured. Wouldn't you be risking your life if you go again!? It's already happened now!
It’s the end of the world, you can stop listening to your superiors’ arrangements, wouldn’t it be nice to stay here with us?”
This was the first time that Du Jiujiu had seen An Cheng so excited. Her chest was heaving violently, her eyes were slightly red, and she was staring closely into Luo Yucheng's eyes.
"Xiao Cheng..." Luo Yucheng stretched out his arm to touch her head, but An Cheng turned away and avoided his hand.
"It's the end of the world now, and everyone can't protect themselves! It's not easy... I finally met a relative, but you insist on being a hero and let me watch you die?!"
An Cheng, who had always been strong, now had tears in her eyes. She bit her lips tightly to control herself from falling. All her fears and grievances since the end of the world seemed to have burst out at this moment.
"Xiao Cheng, don't worry, I... will be fine. I'll come back to you when the task is completed." Luo Yucheng retracted his hand in embarrassment, he whispered, but his eyes were a little evasive.
"Will you come back to me... Do you think I am a three-year-old child? In this case, you won't believe it yourself? You have a sense of responsibility and a heavy commitment. This is good and admirable. But in this situation, if you continue
Isn’t this mission just about getting yourself killed?! Brother, is it worth it for you to do this!?”
An Cheng's voice rose involuntarily. She understood her cousin's character very well. Few people could change the things he believed in, but even so, she wanted to work hard to stop him.
After experiencing so many life-and-death crises, she suddenly found that she was not as strong as she had imagined before. She was not afraid of the danger of fighting or the hard work of running around, but she was only afraid that the people around her would leave forever.
Since meeting Luo Yucheng, all the emotions she had suppressed before burst out. The feeling of gain and loss was so painful that she didn't even dare to imagine it again.
Luo Yucheng just shook his head slowly, with a bitter smile on his lips.
"Xiao Cheng, although you may not understand this, but from the day I joined the army, I am no longer alone. The red blood flowing in my body makes me closely related to the safety of the country and the survival of the nation.
It’s all tied together.”
Luo Yucheng paused. It seemed that because he had spoken too much, his voice became a little weak, but his eyes were firmer than ever.
"I want to rescue that old expert, not just because it is a task, but more importantly because with their existence, we can be more confident in facing these unknown mutations, and we humans will survive a little longer.
hope."
An Cheng looked at Luo Yucheng with red eyes, one second, two seconds...
Until Luo Yucheng's heart began to tremble slightly, he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but said nothing.
At this time, An Cheng suddenly spoke. Her voice was as cold as ever, but her words were loud and clear.
"Okay, in that case, I'll go with you!"
For a moment, Luo Yucheng felt that the person in front of him had become strange.
They had not seen each other for several years. Looking at the tall and handsome girl in front of him, he suddenly realized that An Cheng was no longer the little girl who followed him and always looked at him with admiring eyes.
Luo Yu originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw her stubborn eyes, he hesitated.
They have been together since childhood. An Cheng understands him, and he never does not understand An Cheng. Although their last names are different, their stubbornness is the same. As long as they believe in something, it is meaningless for anyone to dissuade them.
However, it is absolutely impossible to just agree to it.
Luo Yucheng knew in his heart how many difficulties and obstacles awaited him on the path he chose. He could sacrifice his life and die for the righteousness in his heart, but An Cheng had no need to do so.
Just when Luo Yucheng was hesitating, another crisp voice suddenly sounded next to him.
"And me, I'll go too."
He remembered this sound, that night of heavy rain. It was this sound that woke him up from the abyss and gave him hope of life.
Luo Yucheng raised his head and looked at Du Jiujiu, meeting her clear eyes.
She smiled softly, as if she had just made a trivial decision.
"An Cheng is my companion. After the end of the world, we have been supporting each other to get to where we are today. I will not stand aside and watch her go into danger alone. And... if I can contribute my own strength to the future of all mankind,
Then even if I encounter danger, I am willing to face it."
"Jiujiu..." An Cheng looked at Du Jiujiu, not knowing what to say. She was worried about Du Jiujiu's safety, but she was the one who clearly proposed to go with him, so what position did she have to stop others.
And with Du Jiujiu's strength, if he joins them, their chance of survival will be even greater.
Du Jiujiu saw the confusion on An Cheng's face and laughed softly: "It's just rescuing a person in S city. It's not too far. If everything goes well, we can come back in about two or three days. There's nothing to worry about."
"
"Two or three days, how is it possible?! Jiujiu, you also know that most of the vegetation outside has mutated. The time it takes us to travel through it is several times more than before. It may take many days just on the road. If so,
If there is a sudden danger, this time may be longer!" After hearing Du Jiujiu's words, An Cheng opened his eyes in shock.
As she said, today's cities have been almost completely occupied by mutant plants, and as time goes by, their threat to humans will become stronger and stronger. But Du Jiujiu actually looked confident, saying that it could be successfully completed within two or three days.
After returning, this made her a little confused.
"The journey won't be that long. Have you forgotten where we are now?" Du Jiujiu said, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes.
