Chapter 377: Chapter 297: Life Nest (Fourth update, requesting monthly ticket)

Under Su Yu’s Level Six Gasification Mysterious Power, Gu Lingshuang’s wounds on her hands and feet quickly healed. The madness on her face had also disappeared. She had been able to survive in this forest until now because she had braved countless dangers and passed numerous tests of endurance. Her mental resilience was quite formidable.

Finally, she regained her sanity from her frenzied state. Then, pushing Su Yu aside, she hurriedly held on to the animal skin clothes that Su Yu had thrown over her in an attempt to cover her naked body, but she was never quite able to fully cover herself.

Su Yu dared not look any longer and immediately moved to the side. At this point, three out of the four men in half-black half-white clothing were already dead, leaving only a Level-Five warrior alive. However, Su Yu had tied up the warrior’s limbs, making it impossible for him to struggle free. With his hands and feet cut off, his pain was indescribable.

Su Yu stripped one set of clothing from one of the corpses and then threw it towards Gu Lingshuang. Turning his back on her, he said, "Put this on."

He immediately heard the sounds of Gu Lingshuang changing clothes behind him.

"Done." Quickly, Gu Lingshuang spoke up. Su Yu turned around to face her, and she threw his animal skin jacket back to him.

Su Yu caught it, then slowly put it back on himself.

"What exactly happened at the school? The other people... really... are they all dead?" Su Yu had a million questions he wanted to ask her, but when they got to his throat, he couldn’t seem to voice them.

Upon hearing Su Yu’s questions, a look of desolation emerged on Gu Lingshuang’s face. She pushed back her hair that had fallen in front of her eyes and said, "Almost all are dead... When you guys left, there were hundreds of people still in the school... But then... almost all of them were killed by these people. The ones who were able to escape... were only a few of us... We always... wanted revenge... we kept making ourselves stronger... ambush them... in this process, some of us died... but we also killed some of them... now... the ones still alive... are no more than five..."

Su Yu felt cold from his hands to feet. Suddenly, he asked, "Is Lin Xiaolu also one of you guys?"

Gu Lingshuang gave a hum of confirmation, then looked somewhat surprised, "You saw her? She didn’t come back last night. I came out looking for her and didn’t expect... to get captured myself."

Su Yu paused for a moment, then said sadly, "You don’t have to look anymore... she... is already dead."

Gu Lingshuang’s body shook, and then she let out a few bitter laughs. "Is that so. Another one died, huh? Haha... Xiaolu is also dead? Ha...ha..." Saying this, she covered her face with her hands, her whole body shaking, and tears trickling down from between her fingers.

Su Yu felt a blockage in his chest, making him feel suffocated. He choked out, "I’m sorry... I’m sorry... we... we shouldn’t have left... we... I’m sorry..."

Suddenly, Su Yu crouched down, looked up and let out a hoarse howl. His right fist hit the ground with a ’boom’, causing the entire ground to crack. His right hand sank into the ground as he wailed, "Now we have enough power, now we have enough food, but... but what’s the use... what’s the use of it... Everyone... everyone is dead... everyone’s dead... I want to say sorry to everyone... I can’t even say I’m sorry... Why... why did this happen... sorry... everyone..."

With a hoarse howl, Su Yu crouched on the ground, trembling all over. He thought of the once vivid faces, the classmates, the teachers who had taught him, the classmates he had played ball and games with, whose company he had enjoyed during all-night gaming sessions at the internet cafe, and even those with whom he had quarreled with...

Now, when he thought about it, everyone’s face seemed so vivid, so familiar, but... but everything had suddenly collapsed at this moment... everything was destroyed... everyone... was gone...

Even though they had fled the school that day, most of the teachers and students were still alive when they left. They had simply thought that everyone must be living well. Now, when they finally had the courage, the strength to face everyone, when they wanted to return and atone, they suddenly realized... it was all too late... all too late...

Su Yu knelt on the ground, continuously howling in a hoarse voice. He was a person who valued emotions deeply. The day they left the school, they were forced to because survival was not just about him, but also about the people he cherished. His departure was his greatest regret in life. This return was made in hope that he could make up for it, to get a chance to atone.

"But... why doesn’t everyone even give me the chance to atone..." Unable to control himself, Su Yu hit the ground with his fist again, his body trembling.

"Su Yu... even if you guys didn’t leave, it wouldn’t have helped... you couldn’t have saved everyone... they... were too powerful..." Gu Lingshuang watched Su Yu’s howl, silent for a moment. She wiped the tears off her face. Actually, after these days of experiencing so much, she no longer had the luxury of tears.

Hearing Gu Lingshuang’s words, Su Yu’s body shuddered violently. He suddenly raised his head to look at her and asked, "You... you don’t blame us?"

A look of desolation crossed Gu Lingshuang’s face, she replied, "Blame? Do you mean blame you for leaving us behind at the school?"

"Yes, would you blame us? Hate us for being selfish?"

"Well, what right do we have to insist that you stay? Everyone has their own choice... And... almost everyone’s dead already, what’s there to hold a grudge about... Just like us... Death is inevitable... Why bother holding onto hatred in death?"

Gu Lingshuang’s voice was so calm, seemingly devoid of bitterness, but Su Yu sensed that she hadn’t forgiven them for their actions that day. The trials and despair of recent days had left her without the strength to hold a grudge... she had given up utterly, her only motivation for survival was to kill a few more people in half-black, half-white uniforms. This was her only goal.

Feeling a pang of indescribable emotion, Su Yu silently stood up and walked over to a Level Five man still alive, whom he had crushed bones and twisted muscles of. He asked, "Why did you kill everyone in the school? You all should have escaped the ’River of Oblivion’. Why did you return collectively and do such a thing? Why did you pile those bodies together?"

"Gah... Gah... That’s... the Life Nest... we created it with our hands... the Life Nest... Gah... Gah... you, all of you will die... you will become part of the Life Nest... Gah... Gah... You just need to know that... you are all going to die soon... I will be waiting... on the road to Netherworld... Gah... Gah..."

This Level Five man, seeming to sense his impending doom and tormented by pain, didn’t fear Su Yu but laughed maniacally, revealing nothing else.

Su Yu frowned slightly, then suddenly kicked him to Gu Lingshuang’s side, nudging her to kill him to perhaps alleviate her resentment.

Hearing this from Su Yu, Gu Lingshuang’s eyes gleamed intensely. Then, with a shrill scream, she lunged towards him. Following this, the five-stage powerhouse on the ground began screaming hoarsely, "No, kill me, kill me——"

Gu Lingshuang actually embraced him, her mouth wide open, biting at him with her teeth, like a man-eating beast, causing the Level Five man to feel an indescribable fear.

Gu Lingshuang bit him, jabbed him in the eyes with her fingers, yanked out his screaming tongue, tore off his ears, slashed off his nose...

Even Su Yu, after watching for a while, could not bear to look any more and turned away.

Indeed, a woman driven by resentment and madness can be terrifying.

After a while, when Su Yu turned back around as the noise had ceased, he saw that the Level Five man’s body was barely recognizable. Gu Lingshuang, covered in blood and panting heavily, was sitting to the side. After her venting, the resentful look in her eyes has finally lessened a bit.

That Level Five man would have never thought that he would be bitten to death by a woman far weaker than him.

"Do you know where they’re from? What is the Life Nest?" Su Yu asked.

Gu Lingshuang slowly wiped the blood from her face and shook her head. She knew that almost everyone at the school had been killed by these people, but didn’t know their real identities, nor what they were doing with so many corpses.

Ada suddenly mused, "The Life Nest... I think I’ve heard of it before... but I can’t remember now."

Su Yu’s heart skipped a beat. "Do you know, Ada?"

Ada scratched its face with its little claw and shook its head. "I can’t remember, but... I think I’ve heard of it before. It seems like a dreadful thing."

Seeing that Ada couldn’t recall, Su Yu was a bit disappointed. Looking at Gu Lingshuang, he asked, "Where are the survivors? Is Lin Shi still alive?"

Lin Shi was one of their team members, but they had to abandon him after some events at school. Su Yu still remembered his parting words to Lin Shi, hoping he could lead the other students and teachers to find a new way. He had quite a fondness for Lin Shi.

"Yes, he’s still alive." Gu Lingshuang nodded, providing information that excited Su Yu.

"Let’s go, let’s get back." Su Yu immediately asked Ada to summon the "Sky Pit" and teleport them back to the school. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com, for more Chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
