Chapter 1014: He Wanted to Live On!

“General!”

It was almost impossible to shift the mega tree away. The Blood Forces started crying.

The hurricane coupled with those sad cries, the skies were filled with inexplicable sorrow.

Lu Yan raised his eyes, his lips moving. “F*ck, why are you guys crying? Am I dead yet?!”

“General!”

The Blood Forces wiped their tears away, but even more tears came out.

For so many years, the Blood Forces were a family. Lu Yan was the caretaker of the Blood Forces. He played the role of a father, an elder brother, protecting them. He was just like an eagle, protecting his kids. He had never collapsed, even once.

But now, he was down.

They felt like the sky had just fallen on them. The Blood Forces felt their entire soul disappearing.

What should they do?

They didn’t know what to do.

“Li Si!” Lu Yan’s voice was so hoarse as he shouted out. Though he was suffering immense pain, he still sounded commanding.

“Yan Zi.” Li Si crawled over, clutching at Lu Yan’s large hand.

Lu Yan looked in Li Si’s eyes, the cold rainwater traveling down his chiseled facial features. “Leave with them.”

“General, we’re not leaving!”

“General, we’ll never leave. If you’re not leaving, we’re not leaving too. We can’t have anyone missing, you said it!”

Lu Yan grit his teeth, cursing with a deep voice. “Rascals, you’re not listening to me now? Everyone listen up, this is an order. Now everyone hold onto each other’s hands and leave this place. Report your attendance, all 12 of you in the Blood Forces once you reach safely!”

“General, we really can’t leave. Please.”

“General, we don’t want to leave you behind here. We want to take you back together with us.”

“General, please. We’ll give you a kowtow. Don’t make us leave.”

The entire Blood Forces knelt down, giving Lu Yan a kowtow so that Lu Yan wouldn’t force them to leave.

Lu Yan shut his eyes, reopening them after a moment. His eyes were slightly bloodshot. “Everyone get up now. Don’t forget your identities. You guys are soldiers. If anyone dares say anything else, then f*cking scram out of the Blood Forces. You’re not fit to stay!”

The entire Blood Forces were tearing up, they slowly got up from the ground. How could they disappoint him?

How could they bear to let him down?

The veins on Li Si’s forehead began twitching and his eyes were all red. The very first step to becoming a soldier was to obey orders. He also got up from the ground.

The Blood Forces got up with the strong wind blowing around and in the heavy rain.

Lu Yan moved his head, looking in Huo Yanmei’s direction.

Huo Yanmei’s face was filled with tears. It was all her fault, if only she hadn’t come. He looked at her because he had some last words for An’an.

An’an, the only person he had in his heart.

He couldn’t bear to let go of her.

Huo Yanmei went in front, saying sobbingly, “Say it.”

Lu Yan took out the red string from his pocket. The diamond ring was still sparkling as he handed it, together with the blood-stained camellia to Huo Yanmei. “Pass this to her.”

Though we say we’re different

We’re in fact all the same

Leaving the same trail

In the mountains and rivers

We see the moon at the frontier

Our bodies going through all kinds of weather

For our nation’s safety

We hold our rifles in our hands

Though we say we’re different

We’re in fact all the same

We all yearn for glory

We yearn for honor

This was a song made in the army—-We as soldiers.

Lu Yan didn’t know how to sing, he hadn’t sung before. The pain was burning his throat, the cold rain making even his bones feel chilly but he continued singing, all because he was their source of light.

Though he had collapsed, his heart, his persevering soul hadn’t.

He would follow them back too.

Back into their mother’s arms.

He was giving them strength.

Li Si heard it, the Blood Forces heard it. It started off with only one person joining him in the singing, then slowly everyone joined. Their voices slowly got louder.

No matter how the weather was, it didn’t beat them down. The strength he had given them was just like that large hand of a father’s, the warmth from the sun. They had all felt it.

Everyone straightened their backs, smiling through the tears.

They continued singing, not turning their heads back.

No matter how dark it is in front, they would always arrive under the brighter side.

Everyone gradually disappeared before his eyes, even their sounds of them singing faded away.

Lu Yan shut his eyes, tiredness written all over his face.

He was listening.

Hearing the sound of the storm.

He was looking.

Looking at the endless darkness.

Was he going to die just like that?

—-Ah Yan, the baby and I will be waiting for you to be back.

A tender voice resounded in his ears, his entire mind was filled with the scene in the hotel room. She crouched down in front of him, kissing his amputated leg so sincerely.

Lu Yan suddenly opened his eyes. In the darkness, his eyes were just like luminous pearls. F*ck, was this how his life was going to end? He hadn’t collapsed in a battlefield, hadn’t been shot by an enemy but rather, was squashed under a tree. What a stupid way to die!

He wanted to live on!

He wanted to live on so badly!
