Mountain Tiger greeted people and cleaned up the scene.
However, no one dared to touch the equipnt on the ground. It was the standard Tiger Level equipnt of Sea King Port, from the armor to the weapons, all rated B . Additionally, there was a flying skateboard parked at the edge of the camp!
Although all these combined were worth a lot of money, they feared they might not live to spend it.
On the other hand, Tai Sui and his group, with no restrictions, gathered all the dozen sets of Tiger Level suits.
Already wanted, they feared nothing about Sea King Port; boosting their strength was the priority.
At this mont, each had one set, with so to spare.
As for the equipnt they originally scavenged from the black market, it was all given to Mountain Tiger.
It was already second-hand or even third-hand, and now it had gone through another round, with plenty of flaws after the great battle.
Gao Xin didn’t cheat them either, selling it off for fifteen thousand redemption coupons.
This was enough for everyone to binge and replenish their physique.
Those who needed recovery recovered; those who needed to gain weight did so.
Luo Yan, having caught his breath, looked at Gao Xin devouring his food and whispered, "You’re really breaking your back here."
"I never knew before how tough you had it."
"It’s hard to imagine how you made it to today, how you rescued from Yamaguchi Village..."
Gao Xin rolled his eyes, "Sa as you, hooked up with a rich woman."
Luo Yan initially showed a knowing expression, then his face turned solemn, "Soone else is missing..."
Gao Xin grunted, "Indeed, where is that monkey, Huang Banyun?"
Cassandra then explained the situation when they escaped Yamaguchi Village; Huang Banyun covered their rear and was last seen being repelled by Yamaguchi Yoshio, becoming separated from the group.
Luo Yan said somberly, "I an Rousi... I was carrying her as we fled, I passed out midway, and when I woke up, she was gone."
"Nowhere to be found..."
Gao Xin was silent, looking at Rousi who was lying on Luo Yan’s back.
Seeing Luo Yan concerned about her, Rousi couldn’t help but smile and clung tightly to Luo Yan, as though she had found a ho on his back.
Unfortunately, all this Luo Yan couldn’t see.
Eventually, Gao Xin told him the truth: "Rousi is already dead..."
Luo Yan’s eyes widened, he had guessed as much but still felt stunned, "That can’t be, she’s clearly on my back... I carried her constantly, kept running..."
"I passed out, I must have lost her..."
"She must have been taken away by the Japanese. They probably wouldn’t kill her, right?"
Gao Xin sighed, "Yamaguchi Yoshio wanted the module in her body, and since her heart was no longer in Yamaguchi Village, and she was no longer suitable as a record, keeping her was of no use."
"So, even if Rousi was taken back, she was dead for sure."
Luo Yan fell silent, suddenly his head splitting with pain, and he was on the verge of fainting again.
Gao Xin imdiately supported him, transferring so active lipids to him while also using Neural Tentacles to check Luo Yan’s brain.
Sure enough, there was a curious organ in his pineal gland.
"You have a Quantum Brain Core in your skull, Luo Yan... Rousi knew she was bound to die, and at the last mont, she gave the brain core to you."
"What!" Luo Yan felt as if struck by lightning, realizing then that the thing Rousi had stuffed into his mouth was the Quantum Brain Core.
He sat down despondently, feeling utterly defeated.
"I will forever owe her too much, and I’ll never be able to repay it in this lifeti."
Gao Xin didn’t know how to console him, should he say that maybe one day he could revive Rousi?
After all, the Biological Field was said to be able to create anything, and with just an exoskeleton, these people could act in reality. If he himself reached Elephant Level, wouldn’t everyone be able to act as avatars, as if present in person?
It was said that at Dragon-level, one could affect things down to the cellular level, perhaps indistinguishable from a real person.
But he couldn’t guarantee such things, the trouble of entering the Elephant Level remained unclear.
In the end, Gao Xin just said, "Who doesn’t owe soone in their life? I was born just as my mother died, my father raised for a few years, then he died. Aunt Yao raised , and she was hard, still because of ..."
Looking at Aunt Yao beside him, his heart was also very heavy.
"Debt is a burden that makes one weary. When you try to lessen this burden, you find that ti cannot be reversed."
"So never make decisions you’ll regret."
"Luo Yan, do you think you did sothing wrong? If you could go back, choose again, would there be a better outco?"
Luo Yan fell into deep thought, pondering what exactly he did wrong that led to Rousi’s death.
Was he wrong to intervene and help Cassandra’s group evacuate? Should he have just slipped away quietly, so Rousi would also have slipped away with him?
But that choice would have led to the deaths of others.
What about before that? Should he never have run away with Gao Xin in the first place, thereby avoiding putting Rousi in the dungeon? No, Rousi had already had a conflict with Yamaguchi Yoshio by then; even without Gao Xin’s rescue, soone else might have taken him away, and Rousi would have been removed from her position for negligence.
From the start, Rousi’s death was decided by others, motivated by retrieving the Quantum Ghost Module; Yamaguchi Yoshio would have consud her eventually.
Was it right from the beginning? Should he have stayed far away initially, not pleaded with Rousi to save Gao Xin, thus not being taken by her, and hence, not led to everything thereafter, owing her so much...
But that way, Gao Xin would have died, and he probably would have remained a slave until his quiet death one day.
As Luo Yan pondered following Gao Xin’s advice, he couldn’t help but give a bitter laugh, realizing he hadn’t made a decision he regretted. Had he chosen a different path, the situation might have been even worse.
And as Gao Xin’s words sank in, everyone listened, especially Su Lei, all beginning to ponder in this way. If they could choose again, what in life would they regret?
