Virus Throne

Xu Youran was still running. It couldn't even be called running. He was just moving his legs like lead with difficulty and mechanically. Google search reading

The distance that was once within reach is now like a chasm, out of reach.

The other team members had already turned back from the top of the mountain, and the way down the mountain was particularly easy. Everyone was talking and laughing as they passed by Xu Youran.

Except for the captain and Mike, no one looked at him twice, as if he didn't exist at all.

When Mike passed by him, he suddenly saw the brand new hiking shoes on his feet.

"Bah!" Mike spat hard, splashing Xu Youran's face, "You bastard, a coward, go back and eat your fans! Don't stay to harm others!"

Xu Youran wanted to hide, but she didn't. She wanted to wipe but found it was completely unnecessary.

Sweat had formed a river on his face, and the water stains from his vomiting were still stuck to his chin.

Needless to say, he himself knew that his pupils might have begun to dilate, and the scenery in front of him was blurry.

But he didn't stop, and he didn't resent Mike.

Wild firefighters, everyone is fighting for their lives, and a rubbish teammate may even kill everyone.

He himself has been in battle for a long time, and he knows the importance of his comrades better than anyone else.

When his strength was not strong enough, he also formed a team.

But when he became strong enough, he gradually lost his comrades.

Those who are stronger than him don't bother to team up with him.

He was worried that those who were weaker than him would be held back.

This is human nature.

Even he himself hid Alita as a trump card in the Void Ring.

The ceiling-level combat power of those who have awakened six times, even if they encounter those who have awakened seven times, is enough to delay time.

When the captain passed by him, he just looked at him with deep meaning and said nothing.

Xu Youran only felt that his lungs must have been burning, and almost no organ in his body belonged to him, but he continued to move upward.

One step, one step, and another.

If this was the price for overcoming laziness and decadence, he was willing to keep running like this, for himself and for Brandon's unwilling soul.

The firefighters quickly returned to the fire station, and everyone except Brandon was present.

Except for Brandon, all newcomers passed the team entrance examination.

The mountain climbing and running back and forth was just a warm-up, and now everyone really started to invest in training.

Various equipment operations, various physical training, various fire-fighting knowledge learning...

As the sun gradually sets, all the team members have finished their training for the day.

Everyone took a shower and began to pack their equipment and clothes.

Vice-captain Jesse and Mike stood under the corridor, chatting and looking at the mountain road in the distance.

"Hey, Jesse." Mike glanced into the distance, "The kid won't die on the mountain, right?"

"Hahaha...Then you should pray that he doesn't die on the mountain." Jesse smiled heartily, "Your new shoes are still on his feet."

"It would be too bad luck if he died wearing new shoes. It would be a pity for those shoes." Mike said angrily, "You shouldn't have listened to the captain and given him a new pair of shoes."

"Mike, what are you saying bad things about me?" Captain Eric walked out with a cup of coffee in his hand, "Are you looking for a fight?"

"Hahaha... Eric, how dare I say bad things about you." Mike pointed to the sun in the sky, "It's almost dark, so that kid is probably doomed."

Eric looked into the distance and sighed softly, "Forget it, mud can't hold up the wall. I'll give you a new pair of shoes another day."

After saying that, Eric turned around and left with a sigh on his face.

"Hey!" Vice Captain Jesse suddenly pointed to the corner in the distance in surprise, "That... that's... that kid is not dead!"

Mike spat, and he also saw Xu Youran's figure, stumbling and stumbling, moving step by step, "It's really unlucky..."

Eric patted his shoulder hard and looked solemnly at Xu Youran, who was almost completely collapsed.

"Team...Captain..." Xu Youran finally ran up to the three of them with difficulty, seemingly unable to even stand.

When the three of them saw his state, they knew that he probably couldn't hold on any longer and turned back halfway.

Although he finally came back, he was still a loser because he did not complete the assessment to join the team.

Xu Youran stretched out her trembling hands, fumbled in her pants pocket for a long time, and finally took out her cell phone.

Opening the phone, there was a photo there. He handed the phone to Eric in a panic, "I...I...I did it...take...a photo..."

Eric took the phone and there was a selfie of Xu Youran.

It was a photo of him standing on the top of the mountain, with the mountains and the lake behind him.

Eric nodded vigorously and handed the phone back to Xu Youran, "Do you know why I am willing to give you a chance?"

Xu Youran shook his head blankly. He didn't even have the strength to speak now.

"Although many people think you are an incorrigible drug addict." Eric said slowly, "But I see something different in your eyes. Believe me, Brandon, stand up and walk, you Has the potential to be a hero.”

Xu Youran looked at Eric differently and showed a wry smile.

A useless person like me still has the potential to become a hero?

"Okay, let's pack up and get ready to go home." Eric pointed to the fire station, "We will get to work on time at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Eric turned around and walked back to the fire station.

Mike turned his head away with disdain, and Jesse smiled and handed the water bottle in his hand to Xu Youran.

Xu Youran took the water bottle and drank all the water in one breath, and then he regained a little strength.

Like all other official team members, each of them had an independent wardrobe, but he had no other equipment except a pair of hiking shoes.

Eric drove Jesse, Mike, and Xu Youran back to the city.

When Eric asked him the address, for some reason, he subconsciously said the address of his girlfriend's house.

After getting off the car, the night had fallen, the street lights were bright and bright, and the road was busy, but he was a little confused.

For a moment, he was a little at a loss, and he didn't know where to go.

His mother had already kicked him out of the house and gave him the last savings.

As a mother, how disappointed must she be with her child to kick her child out of the house?

Xu Youran couldn't understand the pain that Brandon's mother felt when she said this, but she must be very sad, even sadder than Brandon.

He dragged his weak legs and slowly moved to his girlfriend's door.

He didn't knock on the door this time. He just stood quietly in front of the door, not knowing where to go.

Even though the city was noisy at night, he could vaguely hear the cry of a baby in the room.

It was crisp, loud, and full of vitality. In this noisy city, it was like the sound of nature.

Although this child had nothing to do with him, Xu Youran, he was connected to this body by blood.

At this moment, Xu Youran seemed to feel Brandon's sadness and unwillingness.

Listening to the cry of the little baby, Xu Youran stood for a long time. Natalie seemed to know that he was standing outside the door, but she didn't open the door or speak.

When Xu Youran turned and left, Natalie hugged her daughter, pressed her face tightly against her daughter's face, and cried silently.

Xu Youran walked aimlessly on the street, passing by a bar, with cheerful music and the aroma of wine.

He looked up and saw the Norton Bar, and was about to walk in.

Two extremely strong black guys in front of the door immediately stopped him, one of them asked in confusion: "Do you have an appointment?"

The other black guy frowned, looked at Xu Youran, who was sore all over, with dark circles under his eyes and smelling of sweat, and said coldly: "Look at his shitty appearance, how could he have an appointment?"

Xu Youran didn't say anything and walked straight in.

The two black guys immediately grabbed his arms, lifted him up, and threw him to the ground, "Get out! You are not welcome here!"

Feeling severe pain all over his body, Xu Youran felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, and he was powerless to resist.

He struggled to get up and staggered to the other side of the street.

Suddenly he remembered Brandon's home address, and quickly stopped a taxi and told the address.

After getting off the car, he found that this was a shabby apartment building, and Brandon's family should live on the first floor.

He took out the key from his wallet and inserted it into the keyhole, but he couldn't open the door for a long time.

"Squeak!" The door opened from the inside.

An old woman in her sixties, with white hair and a thin figure, looked at him coldly and said, "I have changed the door lock."

Xu Youran didn't know why, but his eyes suddenly turned red, and a trace of inexplicable pain surged in his heart.

He didn't say anything, just nodded vigorously, and said in a hoarse voice, "I found a job in the wild fire brigade."

After that, he held the wall, dragged his almost falling apart body, and groped to find Brandon's room.

The empty room, without even a bed, looked a bit shabby and dilapidated.

There was a huge mark where the bed used to be. I guess there should have been a bed, but it was dealt with by the old woman.

He took out a large backpack and stuffed some of his clothes into it.

The old woman didn't say a word during the whole process, just looked at him with an extremely desperate look.

When Xu Youran turned to leave, he took out the remaining 900 yuan in his wallet and put it on the table while the old woman was not paying attention.

The old woman leaned against the door, watching him carrying his backpack, and gradually walked out of sight step by step. Tears in her eyes quietly slipped down, and soon she burst into tears.

Xu Youran didn't see the old woman's tears, but he saw the endless sadness and despair in the old woman's eyes.

He was really curious, how bad could a person be to let his mother treat him like this?

In this strange city, the three women who were closest to him.

One was just born, one ignored him, and one kicked him out.

It wasn't these three women who were wrong, it was Brandon himself.

His life was on the verge of breaking, or it was really broken the moment he came.

Xu Youran had no relatives here, and Brandon was a character who died on the street without paying attention.

He randomly found a shabby house that was for rent and gave the landlord a few dozen yuan, which was barely enough for a few days' rent.

Throwing his backpack aside, Xu Youran collapsed on the bed, struggling to set an alarm on his phone, and soon fell asleep with tears.

He was really too tired, and the mental blow made him unwilling to wake up for a moment.

At this time, Xu Youran seemed to begin to understand those who used white powder to numb themselves.

I am afraid that only when you are extremely disappointed with life and yourself can you rely on that white powder to obtain a little short-term happiness.

Xu Youran has never tried it and never wants to try it.

This trial in the lazy world opened up a life for him that he had never experienced before.

Faced with such a desperate situation, how can Brandon turn around?

What do you want to do?

What he was thinking about at this moment was not about profit, but how to save this life that was on the verge of being broken.
