067Now She Cares About Him.
Doesn't he understand it yet? He is no longer the dispensable Ervis who appeared in front of Gu Mengmeng with an injured leg, and Gu Mengmeng would not ask him how he got injured.
Now she cares about him.
Nothing unusual about him could be hidden from her eyes.
Gu Mengmeng felt relieved knowing that Ervis' life was not in danger.
Turning around, he saw Olitin grabbing meat from the pot with chopsticks.
Aoliting met Gu Mengmeng's gaze and felt embarrassed for a moment.
His eyes turned away stiffly, his hands still maintaining the posture of fishing for meat in the pot, his face expressionless, but showing an awkward atmosphere.
Gu Mengmeng couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Olitin, what about you? Is your injury serious?"
Aoliting cleared his throat, retracted his chopsticks, sat upright and looked at Gu Mengmeng, and said calmly with his usual facial paralysis: "For me, fighting with stray beasts is commonplace, and the extent to which they can hurt me is limited. . So my injury is less serious than Leia’s.”
Gu Mengmeng withdrew her gaze and stared closely at her knees. After hesitating for a long time, she slowly said, "Where are the others... are they... okay?"
Leia knew that some things couldn't be hidden. When they finished repairing and continued their journey in two days, Gu Mengmeng could tell at a glance how many people were missing from the team.
He held Gu Mengmeng in his arms, gently rested his chin on the top of her head, and said softly: "Fighting the stray beast, no tribe has ever dared to escape unscathed. Even the last envoy of the Beast God had a good record. There were wins and losses, but there was never a "complete victory." so……"
Gu Mengmeng clenched her fists tightly and frowned. Her voice was dry and hoarse because her throat was tight: "How many died in the hands of stray beasts? How many... died in my hands?"
Leia wanted to say that they all died at the hands of stray beasts, but... could such a lie fool Gu Mengmeng now?
Leia held Gu Mengmeng's shoulders and said: "You couldn't control your emotions because you saw me in danger, so they died not because of you, but because of me. I will become stronger, It’s enough to protect myself, and it’s enough to protect my tribe, and I won’t let you lose control for me anymore, so you are not allowed to take these responsibilities on yourself, do you hear me?”
Gu Mengmeng's brows were still furrowed, she raised her eyes and looked directly into Leia's eyes, and said, "Tell me, how many."
Leia held Gu Mengmeng in her arms distressedly, sighed, and said: "Seventy-two people died in the battle, and the beast suppressed... ninety people."
Gu Mengmeng's body softened and she collapsed in Leia's arms.
A large number of these people were recruited to join Saint-Nazi in the beauty contest of Sioder. She clearly promised to lead them to live a good life, but the good life has not yet come, but they died in her On hand.
Leia gently stroked Gu Mengmeng's back and said: "Mengmeng, listen to me. In the world of beasts, the death of a male is a very common thing. It is the inevitable result of survival of the fittest and natural selection. It cannot be saved. It’s not your fault that your life is a result of your own incompetence.”
Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I won't shirk my responsibilities, but I won't let myself indulge in unhelpful grief and self-blame. The top priority is to control Si as soon as possible. A capable approach to ensure this doesn’t happen again.”
