I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 215 In My Next Life, I'll Be Your Big Brother

215 In My Next Life, I’ll Be Your Big Brother

The second the man took his last breath, the last breath that had been supporting Xiang Nan completely disappeared. Xiang Nan’s body slanted and fell directly beside the man. Seeing this, Du Yue and He Xing quickly took a few steps forward and stood in front of Xiang Nan. “Thank you.” Xiang Nan tried his best to open his eyes and look at the couple in front of him.

Xiang Nan knew very well that without Du Yue and He Xing’s help, he would have had to live in hiding in this abandoned city like a half-dead wild dog if he were to fight alone. As for revenge, it could only be a distant wish.

It was only after he met Du Yue and He Xing that he was able to come here and avenge his sister. He Xing squatted down to check Xiang Nan’s body and could only sigh helplessly. Xiang Nan’s physical fitness was average to begin with, and his body was still covered in scars from the past. Now, with the old and new injuries added together, there was no turning back. Even if they were in a hospital with the best equipment and doctors, Xiang Nan would not be able to be saved.

Xiang Nan knew his own body better than anyone else. Seeing He Xing’s frowning face, he curled his lips and showed a relaxed smile. “From the day my sister died, I told myself that if I didn’t take revenge, I wouldn’t have the right to die.” Xiang Nan’s gaze gradually became unfocused. “I only had one thought in this world, and that was to avenge my sister. I aimed to take the life of the person who hurt her. Now that I’ve finally avenged her, I can leave in peace.

“Although she was the older sister, she had always been very timid. If it wasn’t for my incapability to bring her to the base to lead a better life, she wouldn’t have been captured and tortured to death. I don’t know if she’ll be waiting for me in the afterlife. If she’s waiting for me, I’ll definitely make a promise to her. In our next lives, I’ll be the older brother and she’ll be the younger sister.

“In my next life, I must protect her well and never let her go hungry again. I’ll never let her live such a miserable life of being bullied again. I hope that in our next lives, we can both eat our fill and wear warm clothes. I’ll live the most ordinary and happy life.” As he spoke, Xiang Nan looked at Du Yue and He Xing. “You’re my benefactors. I should repay you, but I don’t have the chance anymore. You’ve helped me so much, and now that I’m dying, I still have to beg you for one last thing. After I die, can you guys help me cremate my body? I don’t want to be eaten and left without a corpse. I’m quite thin, so I don’t think I’ll need much firewood.”

Du Yue lowered her eyes and looked at Xiang Nan, who was on his last breath. The countdown to Xiang Nan’s life had begun. Du Yue could no longer see the dazzling brilliance from last night in his eyes. Even Du Yue, who was used to farewells, could not help but feel sad when she saw Xiang Nan forcing a smile at them. She turned her head, took a deep breath, and mumbled a m.u.f.fled ‘mmm.’ “You can go. Don’t worry and go find your older sister. We’ll take care of your body.”

Hearing Du Yue’s words, Xiang Nan finally heaved a sigh of relief. The smile in his eyes grew brighter. “When my sister left, I promised her that I would find her as soon as possible and that she must wait for me. I’m not sure if it’s too late, but… Sister… wait for me.” As soon as he finished speaking, the light in Xiang Nan’s eyes was completely extinguished, and he slowly closed his eyes.

He Xing stood up and looked at Du Yue worriedly. Du Yue chuckled when she saw He Xing’s worried expression. “Don’t worry about me. I’m not a sentimental person.” After living two lives, she was already used to seeing people die.

“I want to hug you,” He Xing said softly. “Can I?”

Du Yue met He Xing’s pitch-black eyes and nodded. He Xing held her in his arms as Du Yue rested her head on his shoulder. She could clearly hear his strong heartbeat. “He Xing.”

“What’s wrong?”

“You’re not allowed to die. If you die before me, I won’t collect your corpse. At that time, you’ll be eaten by the bugs. If you don’t want to experience such a disgusting scene, then don’t die.”

He Xing tightened his grip on Du Yue’s hand. “Don’t worry, I won’t die. Didn’t we make a promise? You have to live until you’re 300 years old, and I’ll have to cook for you until then.”

Upon hearing this, Du Yue’s heart, which had been sad about Xiang Nan’s departure, finally relaxed a little.
