Chapter 978: To The Person I Love
This intense gaze was like a pair of hands, a pair of hands pus.h.i.+ng you forward and not allowing you to retreat. It felt as though once you get in too deep, you won’t be able to get out again.
“Never give up, never forsake. I will always bring you along. No matter how tough the path is, I will never let go of your hand. We will walk until we reach a height that belongs to us. Do you dare to walk together with me? For my sake, for your sake, for the sake of this life, let’s walk together.”
At first, he still wanted to give her some time to let her slowly understand him and understand what kind of military unit he was in. But, from the looks of it now, it wasn’t possible. She understood how dangerous the dangers he had to face were at an earlier time so he had to s.h.i.+ft his plan forward. She needed to understand faster and accept it quicker.
Ye Jian didn’t say anything. She didn’t know how to continue.
There was one thing she could confirm. Even if he didn’t hold her hand, she wouldn’t waste her life. He was her goal and someone she once wanted to surpa.s.s.
Yet, this goal was telling her that he would bring her to stand at the same position and same height as him… When she thought of this… she didn’t find it difficult. She just felt extremely excited as though a huge and powerful wave was gus.h.i.+ng out of her heart. She was unable to keep calm.
She had remained ordinary and quiet for too long in her past life. In this life, she got so many chances. She didn’t want to miss any of them, not even one.
She nodded lightly and slowly. She said, “Okay. But, I’m not doing this for you. I’m doing it for myself so that I will not waste my life. I will stand beside you and you will stand beside me at the same position and same height… We will be comrades for life.”
Comrades for life, brothers for life. We will not forsake or give up on each other.
All the members of the Xueyu unit took an oath before. They would be comrades for life and never abandon their comrades.
We will not forsake or give up on each other… K7, who was tied up entirely and thrown in a corner, raised his eyelids slowly. He looked through the small window.
Someone is coming. It wasn’t just one person… there were more than ten.
The footsteps got nearer. It stopped outside. K7 closed his eyes again and pretended to be still unconscious.
There was no use even if he opened his eyes. The blood dripped into his eyes and stained his eyelashes. His vision was blurred so he could only see double images when he looked out.
This was his second day as a captive. Besides a mouthful of water, he hadn’t had any food.
52 hours had pa.s.sed since he regained consciousness and painstakingly opened his eyes, which were blurred by blood. There was no questioning and no torture. It was so calm that he wasn’t able to hear any pieces of evidence at all. He wasn’t able to predict if his comrades were rus.h.i.+ng over either.
He was injured badly. Even so, after he woke up, he remained highly vigilant and kept looking for a chance to escape. He was also thinking about how he could escape successfully.
The only weapon he had was the belt on his pants. However, this wouldn’t be able to cut his ropes. It could at most strangle someone.
The military uniform he was wearing was torn and tattered. There were thin grains of sand in his flesh. As he breathed, the fine grains of sand started rolling and grinding against his burnt flesh that was charred from the gunfire. No matter how strong your physique was, if you didn’t clean the sand, the wounds wouldn’t heal.
K7 didn’t move for the entire 52 hours. He just s.h.i.+fted his head slightly. This small movement made people realize that this man was still alive.
