The sea area near Boston City had not been polluted by industrial or domestic sewage for a long time. The sea water was pure and clear, so the fish living in the water was naturally very healthy. Although it was a little salty when eaten raw, the meat was sweet and delicious. Most importantly, it was rich in protein and was extremely nutritious.
For this reason, after devouring the bones and scales in a frenzy for a while and receiving the nourishment from the sea fish, the wounds on Zhang Lisheng's body began to squirm and grow together.
Sensing that the wounds on his body had healed, the young man muttered to himself, "I have five lives when I use the Gate of Death but only one when I use the Gate of Sacrifice. I must be careful in the future.
If only the Witchcraft's Gate of Sacrifice and Gate of Death's incantations can be linked together … "After transforming with the lizard's transformation power, he turned invisible and swam to the shore.
He could freely switch between the Gate of Sacrifice's incantations and the Gate of Death's incantations in battle. However, he would need to wait for six breaths before he could use another Gate of Sacrifice's beastification spell. If he were to switch to the Gate of Death's incantations, he would need to wait for another six breaths. In other words, he would need to take 12 breaths to switch between the Gate of Sacrifice's incantations and the Gate of Death's incantations.
In the absence of a wizard gu to trap the enemy, a 12-second pause in a life-and-death battle was no different from waiting for death.
Zhang Lisheng's imagination ran wild as he imagined how spectacular it would be after he combined the Gate of Death's Gu Sea Spell and the Gate of Sacrifice's beastification spell. Nihilating his body, he returned to the SUV.
When he was about to put on his swimming trunks in the back seat, his body froze all of a sudden. Dumbfounded, he realized that six eyes were staring at him.
"Oh sh * t! Tina, Trish, Sheila! Didn't I ask you guys to wait for me at the beach first?" Zhang Lisheng put on his pants in a panic and shouted in annoyance.
"Dear, you're hurt?" Tina asked with a pout, as though she did not hear her boyfriend's shout. Holding a thin blanket stained with blood in her hand, she asked with a pout.
Zhang Lisheng only saw the blanket that the girl was holding on to him just now. Stunned, he shrugged and joked, "Oh, I'm a little hurt, but it doesn't matter. My body is special. As long as I don't die on the spot, I'll be able to recover soon.
Look, I just caught a few fish and swallowed them into my stomach, and I'm already completely healed. "
"No! I won't allow you to say something like 'die on the spot'! It breaks my heart …" Upon seeing the young man's nonchalant look, Tina's tears suddenly dripped down inexplicably. "If you didn't come to see me, you wouldn't have encountered the Eye Beast King today! You wouldn't have bled or been injured, and you wouldn't have experienced any danger!
Ever since we met, you've been giving, giving, giving, giving. But what about me? Today, I clearly saw you heavily injured. I clearly saw it, but I've been blaming you for being too cold and unwilling to save my classmates and friends. I've forgotten that you almost lost your life because you were afraid that the monster would escape from the sports stadium and hurt me …
Oh, God, you're clearly my favorite. In my heart, you're clearly a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times more important than all the classmates and friends I've known since kindergarten to university. But I've even forgotten that you're injured. I only, only blame you in my heart … "
As she spoke, her emotions gradually broke down. Lying on the seat, she hugged the bloody blanket tightly and burst into tears.
"Erm, when I was hunting that big eye today, it wasn't dangerous to the point where I almost lost my life. Really, it wasn't to that extent … Tina, y-you don't have to feel so guilty …"
Zhang Lisheng could not understand his girlfriend's sudden loss of control. He did not know how to deal with it, so he could only look at Trish and Sheila for help. However, he saw that the two girls were also looking at him with tears streaming down their faces. They were sobbing so much that they did not even have the time to breathe.
"Okay, maybe I won't say anything and just open my arms to let the three of you cry in my arms for a while like how you did in the afternoon." In the face of such a scene, Zhang Lisheng pondered for a moment and stood up agilely to the middle of the carriage. Opening his arms, he clumsily hugged the three girls who had broken down emotionally.
Just like that, after crying unscrupulously to their heart's content, the three girls fell into a deep sleep out of exhaustion. It was only until the moon climbed up to the sky and shone on the sea that one of them finally woke up in the young man's arms in a daze.
"Oh, you're awake, Trish. Do you feel better?" When Zhang Lisheng saw that Trish had woken up, he unnaturally loosened his arms and asked.
Realizing that she was in the young man's arms, the girl's face blushed right away. At the same time, a dazed expression appeared on her face. After recalling for a while, she finally nodded and whispered, "Thank you, Lisheng. I feel much better now."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lisheng also nodded but did not know what else to say.
After being silent for more than ten seconds, feeling that it was getting more and more awkward, he bit the bullet and randomly comforted, "You've gone through so many things today, so it's good for you to vent your negative emotions. Even though I think that all of you have cried too much, you know girls, right? I mean, it's alright no matter how much a girl cries …"
As the young man was speaking, Trish, who was in his arms, suddenly stretched her neck and kissed his lips. "Shut up, baby. Don't say anything. Just hug me quietly like this …" Then, she shrank back into his arms and buried her burning face on his shoulder.
Feeling the different sweetness on his lips, Zhang Lisheng's body froze. Even when Tina and Sheila had also woken up, they still had a dazed expression on their faces. Trish, on the other hand, had already returned to her previous attitude towards him.
After the rest, the three girls' spirits were obviously much better. It also made them remember that they had not eaten or drunk anything for the whole day. Unfortunately, the vendors selling drinks and snacks on the beach outside had already closed their stalls.
"Sh * t! I just realized that the vendors in Boston have no business sense at all! When I can eat an entire seafood chowder and pan-fried lobster, they're already closed for business!" Looking at the dark beach outside the window, Tina, who was unkempt but finally cheered up, hopped back to the driver's seat from the middle of the car in disappointment. "What do you guys want to eat tonight?"
"Oh Tina, since you've already said seafood chowder and pan-fried lobster, let's go to Blue Seafood to eat seafood then!" Sheila slapped the back of the front seat loudly and replied, "Hurry up, girl! I'm going crazy from hunger too!"
"Let me start the car first no matter how fast it is!" Tina smiled and started the car, before turning into the road and driving into the main traffic flow.
On the way to the restaurant, there were clusters of dim candlelight and white cards on both sides of the street. The mourning people stood on the street and prayed silently. From time to time, some people would hug each other and sob softly.
"Mourning doesn't even light the candles at the scene.
They're scattered all over the street. After they're done crying today, it'll be the cleaner's turn to cry tomorrow! " Looking at the sad scene on the street from the window, Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was afraid that the three girls would lose control of their emotions again, so he muttered, "Let's listen to some happy music as spiritual food before we fill our stomachs." He wanted to turn on the CD, but to his surprise, he pressed the broadcast button by mistake.
At once, a magnetic sad male voice echoed in the car. "… About 200,000 people gathered in front of the ruins of Harvard Stadium. They're standing on the entire block and lighting white candles to mourn for the victims of the disaster.
Boston is whispering to the young souls who have passed away, 'Don't be afraid. Fly towards the place where there's light in the sky. You're not alone, because under God's watch, we're with you … "
The atmosphere in the car that was gradually becoming cheerful became solemn again. Zhang Lisheng opened his mouth and muttered, "Hah! I'm such an idiot! I can't believe that I even pressed the wrong button …"
"Baby, I know you're concerned about us. Don't worry, we won't be too sad anymore after we cry. Women are stronger than men. We're fine now." Tina suddenly smiled and interrupted her boyfriend's muttering.
The young man became silent for a while before saying softly, "I just don't want you to keep hearing the news about the disaster in the morning and relive the pain again and again …"
"You're so sweet, Lisheng, but unfortunately, it's impossible to do that." When Trish, who was sitting behind Zhang Lisheng, heard his words, she looked at the countless candles outside the window and whispered, "Because tonight, the entire Boston is crying …"
Just like what the girl said, there was no place in America's Wisdom City that was not immersed in a sad atmosphere tonight. There were no cheers or music in the giant stage on the Charles River.
There was no laughter even though the bars in the city were open for business, and the nightclubs were not open at all.
As for the restaurants, even though they were open as usual, the diners were like mutes when they were eating. Very few people talked to each other.
Not only that, but this sad atmosphere even ran through every day that Zhang Lisheng stayed in Boston. Two weeks later, when Tina, Trish, and Sheila went to the airport to see him off, there were still people placing new cards on the road.
"Oh, the feeling this city gives me is getting more and more depressing. It's obviously sunny, but it gives off a feeling of no light.
Have you really decided not to go back to New York? " After arriving at the airport and getting out of the SUV, Zhang Lisheng took a deep breath under the warm sunshine and asked again.
"We're fine, baby. The school has resumed its normal teaching, and our lives are back on track. We don't want to leave here." Tina walked out of the car and shook her head.
"Especially since Boston is now the city that the Homeland Security Bureau attaches the most importance to. The National Guard stationed there has already been integrated into the organized Steel Warriors. Where else would be safer than here?" Sheila added.
"Oh, New York has a large military base that has been expanded …" Zhang Lisheng curled his lips and walked quickly to the airport lobby as he casually said, "But it's your freedom to stay wherever you want. After all, this is your life. Besides, it's not a bad thing to continue your studies, but remember to see a psychiatrist after staying here for a long time."
"Lisheng, we've known you for a long time now, so the three of us have already taken psychology classes. We've been each other's trash cans for a long time, so you don't have to worry about us having any psychological problems," Trish replied as she followed the young man.
