"Ah? Actually, this..."
The burly man holding the saber was stunned. The words he had blurted out in his panic had inadvertently confessed everything.
However, it didn't really matter if he said it or not.
Because Xu Lu was here, she would eventually reveal what had just happened.
"You listen to my explanation... actually... *hic*!"
Before the burly man could figure out how to exonerate himself, Bai Hanlin had already crushed his throat.
Then, the burly man turned into a mist and disappeared.
"We didn't hurt Xu Lu... really, spare us!"
"Xu Lu, for the sake of us being comrades in the same camp, say something!"
The other two quickly dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.
"Where is Bai Hanlin? The real Bai Hanlin?"
Xu Lu ignored the two kneeling on the ground, her expression solemn as she asked.
"If you didn't stop it, you're still an accomplice, and you deserve to die!"
Bai Hanlin deliberately didn't answer Xu Lu. Instead, he spoke fiercely to the two in front of him.
With two quick taps of his finger, the two watched in terror as their bodies gradually turned into a white mist and disappeared.
"Hey, don't avoid my question, where is Bai Hanlin?" wap.kanshu伍.net
Xu Lu shouted urgently.
"I... I haven't seen him..."
Bai Hanlin didn't know how to explain to Xu Lu. He turned to leave, but Xu Lu grabbed him.
"Don't go. You're like him, you can't look me in the eye when you lie!"
"Can you look me in the eye and say it again?"
Xu Lu's mind was only on Bai Hanlin now, and she no longer cared about the lives of these three people.
They were already dead, so the matter of them ambushing her was settled.
"What is there to be afraid of?"
"I haven't seen him, I haven't seen him!"
Bai Hanlin shouted at Xu Lu, but his darting gaze betrayed him again.
"You have seen him..."
Xu Lu covered her mouth and retreated two steps, her face full of panic.
"You... you not only saw him, but you also communicated... otherwise, you wouldn't have come to find me..."
"Where is Bai Hanlin? Where is he? Could something have happened to him..."
A bad feeling rose in Xu Lu's heart.
"He... he entrusted me to take care of you..."
Bai Hanlin said with his head bowed, his voice barely audible.
"Where is he? I want to see him!"
Hearing Bai Hanlin's words, Xu Lu instantly understood what had happened.
As long as Bai Hanlin had a breath left, he wouldn't entrust her to anyone else.
Tears instantly streamed from her eyes, and Xu Lu's voice trembled.
Bai Hanlin knew that his true feelings couldn't be hidden from Xu Lu, so he could only obediently take her to the grave of the elder Bai Hanlin.
When Xu Lu saw the simple grave mound, she was stunned for a moment.
Then, she began to dig frantically with her hands.
In a short while, the distorted features and heavily scarred body of the elder Bai Hanlin were revealed to Xu Lu.
To Bai Hanlin's surprise, Xu Lu did not cry uncontrollably.
Instead, she simply sat by the corpse in silence.
Bai Hanlin knew that the quieter Xu Lu was, the greater the damage this event had caused her.
He stood by helplessly, not knowing how to comfort her.
After all, it was her husband, the person she loved most, and also his own...
It was too absurd to comfort his wife not to grieve for his death!
Bai Hanlin could only stay by her side foolishly.
After a long time, just as the sun was about to be swallowed by the distant giant trees, Xu Lu suddenly stood up and said faintly:
"Thank you!"
"Oh... no... it's nothing..." Bai Hanlin replied foolishly.
He knew Xu Lu was thanking him for not collecting the elder Bai Hanlin's body.
She wanted to say a proper goodbye.
"Can I ask you for a favor?"
Xu Lu asked again.
"No problem, just say it!"
Bai Hanlin quickly agreed.
"Fill in this grave mound so no one knows a corpse is buried here, okay?"
"I don't want his body to be dug up and eaten by monsters, or collected by other survivors..."
Xu Lu said calmly.
"Okay, okay, I promise. I'll do it right away!"
Bai Hanlin busily refilled the grave with soil and then smashed a large hole in the nearby building, casually covering it with rubble.
Making it look like an ordinary scene of a battle.
"It's done!"
Bai Hanlin said breathlessly.
Dealing with buildings was not his strength; he was more skilled at dealing with living targets.
"Can I ask one more question?"
Xu Lu asked politely.
Although the man in front of her looked almost exactly like her husband, and his habits and voice were almost carved from the same mold.
She treated him with the same courtesy as she would a stranger.
"Ask whatever you want, I'll tell you everything I know!"
Bai Hanlin replied nervously.
He was afraid that Xu Lu would be overcome with grief and harm herself.
If she were to commit suicide, it would be even worse!
"What about the others who came out with Bai Hanlin? Did you collect their bodies?"
Xu Lu asked.
"Others? There were no others, only me who came with him."
"I didn't expect to encounter an ambush by lizardmen here... it's my fault, I couldn't save him in time..."
Bai Hanlin blamed himself.
"No others... hehe, it's as I thought..."
"I'll understand your situation later, but now I need you to do one more thing, and then I'll agree to marry you!"
Xu Lu said, narrowing her eyes.
This was an expression Bai Hanlin had never seen before.
He knew Xu Lu was very smart and had seen through his thoughts instantly, but now, he couldn't quite figure Xu Lu out.
"Marry or not... this matter..."
"Tell me what you need me to do first?!"
Bai Hanlin asked.
"Come back to the second camp with me and kill everyone inside!"
"After that, I'll be yours!"
Xu Lu said calmly.
"Okay, I'll kill whoever you want me to kill!"
Bai Hanlin nodded.
An hour later...
At the entrance of the second camp.
The large iron gate lay on the ground, the entire camp was silent, and the white mist had not yet dispersed in the air.
"Thank you, now, my body is yours!"
Xu Lu said, and with her left hand, she suddenly pulled out a surgical knife and slashed her carotid artery.
Healing Technique! Regeneration Technique!
Bai Hanlin immediately rushed forward, pressed Xu Lu's acupoints to lower her blood pressure, and used all his might to perform healing skills.
After a long while, the wound finally healed.
"There's one more thing I haven't told you... Dr. Bai had a wish before he died, which was to hope..."
Before Bai Hanlin could finish speaking, Xu Lu interrupted him:
"He hoped I would live well, didn't he? He's dead, how can I live? What a fool!"
"No, no, he hoped you could find the murderer of his parents and avenge him!"
Bai Hanlin took out a photo of the murderer from his ring.
At the same time, he felt fortunate. In fact, he had wanted to say that he hoped she would live well, but Xu Lu had spoken first. Fortunately, he had this photo, otherwise, he wouldn't have known how to convince her.
Sometimes, hatred is the only hope for a person to live.
