Chapter 399: Chapter 314: The arrival of evil creatures (2nd update)

Ren Honglin opened his mouth, giving a somewhat embarrassed smile as he said, "I’m just afraid of dying." His blunt honesty momentarily stunned everyone, then subtly garnered their admiration.

Lin Shi gave Ren Honglin a glance, then chuckled, "Honglin, I am quite foolish, always have been, it’s because of my foolishness that I was abandoned by Su Yu and everyone else that day, forcing me to stay behind at the school and lead the rest...haha... Foolish, I’ve never been clever... I just knew that there are some things that we must persevere in, even if it means sacrificing our lives, it will be worth it."

As Lin Shi ended his speech, everyone around was stunned and didn’t know what to say. Even Ren Honglin’s face flushed red, as he called out, "Mr. Lin", then opened his mouth, finding himself at a loss for words.

Su Yu sighed deeply, and Qin Jiagui bowed his head. As a matter of fact, it was he who insisted on removing Lin Shi from the team. Now his actions had been exposed by Lin Shi, which made him feel extremely embarrassed.

Among the four of them, Lin Shi and Meng Bo believed they should stay behind, Ren Honglin clearly agreed with Li Dong and the others to leave immediately. As for Gu Lingshuang, she remained silent and did not express her thoughts.

After Lin Shi made his argument, the atmosphere became very awkward. Lin Shi then stood up and said, "Talking more is unhelpful, Su Yu, take me back to the forest, then, all of you can leave. I just don’t want to live with such guilt. I’m not forcing any of you, really, in this matter, there is no right or wrong, everyone’s choices are simply different."

Meng Bo also stood up, nodded to Su Yu, and said, "Let’s decide like this then, Lin Shi and I will stay in the forest, the rest of you, leave. Su Yu, I request you, you must... must take good care of Lingshuang... and Honglin. Among us who chose to stay in the forest, only these two are alive."

"Sister Meng!" Gu Lingshuang finally spoke up, grabbing Meng Bo’s delicate hand, her body trembling slightly, "I...I’ll go with you too..." Before she could say more, Meng Bo shook her head, covering her mouth, and gently said, "Lingshuang, don’t be like us fools, go with Su Yu and the others, you must survive."

Gu Lingshuang’s eyes welled up with tears. She knew that Lin Shi and Meng Bo’s decision to stay was equivalent to deciding to die. They had insisted on seeking revenge in the past because they saw no hope for survival. Now that Su Yu and the others had appeared, bringing hope, the situation had changed. She didn’t understand why Lin Shi and Meng Bo were still so persistent, knowing full well it meant certain death. She really didn’t understand why they chose to stay in the forest to meet their fate.

Everyone around was silent. After a while, Su Yu rubbed his brows and said, "Old master, give me a cigarette."

Zhang Zhongmou’s wet cigarette had already been dried in this world. He tossed one to Su Yu and lighted it for him.

Su Yu took a deep drag, then stood and walked alone to a pile of rocks not far away. He sat down and fell silent.

Lin Shi was stunned, about to speak when Ma Ziye stopped him, shaking her head and saying, "Don’t disturb him, he must be thinking about something."

Su Yu sat on the rocks alone, smoking his cigarette. Everyone else watched his back in silence, knowing that he must be pondering a decision that was difficult to make.

After a while, Su Yu finally finished his cigarette, discarding the butt, he jumped back among everyone and said solemnly, "Let’s do it like this, everyone stays here, with the remaining three ’Life Nests’, leave it to me."

Su Yu’s words were shocking, everyone was stunned. After a while, Su Yun and Ma Ziye both simultaneously shouted, "No way!"

Su Yu licked his lips and said, "Everyone is my partner, I can’t bear to see anyone die here. I hope we all can safely return to Freedom Village. Under this situation, only if I go alone is there a chance of success, and I have Ada. If we ever encounter danger, Ada can use her teleportation power to hide in here. You all stay here."

Ma Ziye said, "It’s too dangerous there now, and you also said that inside the ’Life Nest’, Ada’s teleportation power will not work. No, it’s too dangerous, Su Yu."

Su Yu smiled and said, "The reason I had to rush in was because Su Yun and the others were inside the ’Life Nest’, otherwise why would I go in there? Don’t worry, I’m quite afraid of dying too. I’ll make sure to stay alive and reunite with you."

Su Yun shook her head and said, "Su Yu, stop playing the hero, you definitely can’t go this time, if Mr. Lin and the others want to stay behind, let them stay. But you absolutely cannot, you hear me. I promised your mother to take care of you, you rascal, you’re not allowed to stir up trouble. You must listen to me, you hear me."

Su Yun also raised her voice.

Su Yu gave a bitter smile and said, "Calm down, it’s not as terrible as you think. Mr. Lin, give me the locations of the two remaining ’Life Nests’. I’ll make a quick round trip, I should be fine."
