How Am I Still Alive?

The boy in the man's memory stood there, calmly looking at the world in front of him, his expression as quiet and gentle as ever, as if he was still on campus.

But around him, the spider monkeys who were either kneeling or lying on the ground and not daring to move, had ferocious and fearful faces on their faces.

Beasts are not worth mentioning in front of more dangerous beasts.

"Is the gap actually so big?"

The scene in front of them was beyond comprehension for the three of them.

After all, in their eyes in the past, Lu Pingan was the leader among his peers and the "senior".

But now, ten years have passed, but only two months have passed. Those beasts that almost killed him didn't even have the courage to raise their heads or bar their teeth in front of Lu Ping'an "ten years ago".

The young man stood there silently, while the beasts could not move.

"Crack!"

The boy casually trampled the head of a beast, blood and brains splattered everywhere, but the beasts still did not dare to move.

Perhaps, in their view, they are just poor insects caught in the spider's web. They can only survive by looking to the top of the food chain to satisfy their appetite.

"Snapped!"

But this time, the predators have more than just an appetite.

Each and every head was crushed, and the killer didn't even bother to look down.

Finally, when more than half of the killing was done, the beasts' survival instincts defeated their fear. They roared and tried to get up to resist.

"Pah, pah!"

The young man just applauded gently, as if to encourage them for their courage.

"boom!"

At that moment, the brain flowers that exploded at the same time became blooming fireworks.

On the ground, there were only pools of blood flowers.

"Road group."

Among the three people, some looked helpless, some lowered their heads and dared not look at each other, and some showed bitterness.

"Crack."

The "young man" just clapped his hands gently. This time, there were no fireworks.

"Let's go, I'll take you back."

Perhaps, there was also a sigh.

——

The stone house is not big, but it is quite warmly decorated. There are cotton-like decals on the walls, which seem to serve as some protection from the wind and cold.

In a world without wooden furniture, it would be easy to develop high-quality stone tool substitutes, but the shortcomings of stone tools that are too hard and cold are obvious.

Therefore, there are a large number of fabric exterior products to make up for its natural deficiencies in softness and thermal insulation.

As animal fibers, fur and hair are not rare in this world. Professional "tailors" and "sewing masters" are quite respected professions. As far as Lu Ping'an knows, in the professional system of this new era , there are even similar specialized channels, and the reviews are quite high.

"Road Captain"

Finally, the male owner of the house woke up Lu Pingan's habitual distraction.

The three of them were obviously middle-aged people in their thirties (looking old), but in front of a teenage boy, they lowered their heads and did not dare to show off, as if they were elementary school students who had committed a crime.

"What do you think? Do you plan to stay here or go back with me?"

Lu Ping'an looked calm and just asked about their plans.

At this moment, the expressions of the three people became complicated again, with various emotions.

Guilty? hesitate? disturbed? fear? In just a moment, Lu Ping'an felt a lot.

".You, you."

The middle-aged man who was the owner of the house looked embarrassed. The guilt and uneasiness on his face made him frown.

"Stop it, stop it, I don't want to hear meaningless apologies. At this age, you still don't understand that you are responsible for your own affairs? You don't owe me anything. If you really owe something, you only owe it to your own life. "

Lu Ping'an almost knew what the other party was thinking, so he blocked him with words.

".I just want to know what you plan to do next. Go back with me and I will send you back to Earth as soon as possible. If you want to stay, I can help you go to a more comfortable and safer city and get a stable and profitable job. Work."

After taking a brief look at the decoration of the village and the house, Lu Pingan knew that their life was not good.

Why not ask Guan Tuan for help? Even if you don’t want to be a soldier, it is not difficult to arrange a security and logistics job. It seems that these boys are just like that girl. They owe nothing, have not made a name for themselves, and are still alive after their companions are dead. In short, they probably have no face to see others. set.

I thought that if I could hold on for one day, I would go back when the normal time flow rate was restored. If Lu Ping'an hadn't found him, he might not have taken the path of rebirth of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Why are you so stupid like that girl Meiyuge?"

Looking at these three silent middle-aged men, Lu Pingan cursed angrily, but the next moment, he stopped.

"Uh, what, Xiao Tao, go outside and see if that girl from Meiyuge is here."

At this time, Lu Ping'an finally remembered what he had forgotten.

As soon as he landed on the island, Lu Ping'an used his "eyes" to look for someone. When he saw that they were in serious danger, he ran over first and completely forgot about that person.

"Well, just go to the dock, she's still there."

So he sent someone to pick her up.

"This is too much! Lu Tuan!"

"I've been looking for you at the dock for a long time, but you ran away without saying anything!"

"Excessive! You don't know how worried I am. I thought I was abandoned by you again."

When the "little girl" just entered the door, she yelled at Lu Ping'an for output.

The scene was quite funny for a moment. A girl in her twenties was complaining about her teenage boss, and there were "junior" spectators in their thirties. It was obvious that they were all classmates, but the younger they seemed, the more comfortable they were. .

"long time no see!"

Finally, after venting her anger, Meiyuge turned around and hugged her good sister directly. If she only looked at her appearance, I'm afraid some people would believe her if she said she was mother and daughter.

Not only did the family in this house look awkward, but the client himself who stayed here also felt awkward and uncomfortable.

But the arrival of Meiyuge did ease the atmosphere and made the middle-aged group a little more chatty.

Their stories are mediocre,

In the beginning, they actually did some things and earned some fame, and they even felt that it was right for them to leave.

Then, they suffered serious injuries. The injuries coupled with the guilt and powerlessness over the death of their companions finally chose to "retire".

Then, I waited until today.

"I want to return to the team. Captain Lu, can I return to the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce?!"

The one-armed Tao Song was the first to speak.

During this period of time, he was working as a stonemason in the town, and he could get by regardless of whether things were good or bad.

On countless nights, he would be unable to resist recalling the past, especially after drinking with Brother Long. The feeling of powerlessness and annoyance made them put down their weapons.

But, can it really be let go? Can you just hide back on Earth and pretend like nothing happened as an ordinary citizen?

"We'll go back when the door opens again."

Although everyone says this at every gathering.

Although your body has reached or even passed its peak, although you may have lost the vitality and courage of youth, but just go back like this? Enjoy a quiet life for ten or twenty years? Forget everything and go back to being an "ordinary person"?

"I can start from the grassroots level. Although my combat job is still only the second level, I am also a second-level craftsman now. I can think of something with one arm. Being a professional is not a fatal injury."

Therefore, the defeated soldier's statement was completely different from what Lu Ping'an heard before.
