Long Yu smiled at Yao Ran and said, "At that time, I had already lost most of my teammates. We fought for ten consecutive days without rest, suffered a lot of injuries, and could no longer fight."
His eyes dimmed as he said, "We lost Jia Xiang there. She took explosive and blew herself up together with the mutant rat king, saving the rest of us."
"Just when I almost fell into a coma because of the heavy bleeding, you secretly fed me and my comrades the water and food you grew with your abilities. On the sixteenth day after we were trapped, your teammates wanted to use me and my comrades as bait to escape from there."
"When you disagreed and wanted to stay with us, your teammates blamed you for being selfish and not caring about their lives. I remember when those people were about to drag us out, I saw you standing in front of me and my comrades. If it weren't for you, my comrades and I would have died there."
Long Yu remembered what happened next, sighed, and his eyes filled with regret.
After a few seconds of silence, he added, "When I regained consciousness a few days after the rescue, I went to find you, but you had already resigned from the mercenary team and left with your family."
When she heard this, Yao Ran felt as if she had really done something like that before. Unfortunately, all she could remember were fragments of memory, which disappeared before she could grasp them.
Yao Ran took a sip of hot chocolate and asked, "What about our third encounter?"
Long Yu recalled that day and lamented that they really had no fate in their previous life.
He looked at her and said, "One day, when I came back from a mission, I saw you lining up in front of the Juncheng base. That was three years after our separation at Haicheng Base. I was very happy to see you again, so after reporting the mission to the military, I hurriedly went to visit you."
"But when I went to your rental house, the people living there said there was no one named Yao Ran there. I didn't believe them, so I looked for you everywhere. But no matter how long or how far I looked for you, you seemed to disappear without a trace from this world."
His eyes turned red as he remembered the despair, unwillingness, and deep fear he felt when everyone said she must be dead. Fortunately, he could meet her again in this life.
Yao Ran thought for a while and asked, "When did it happen?"
"It was the eighth year since the end of the world began." Long Yu replied.
Hearing this, Yao Ran sighed, "Eight years after the end of the world began, Lan Guanghui sold me to the laboratory."
Long Yu was shocked and thought of the middle-aged man who had come to find Yao Ran before. He gritted his teeth and regretted not knowing about this earlier. Otherwise, he would make that man pay for what he had done to Yao Ran.
