Chapter 31

Thirty minutes later, in that same wasteland, Li Tianran saw the boy again.

"Did you feed him the things? Is his injury healed?"

Xiao Hei lay prone on the ground, with Li Tianran sitting on its back, asking calmly.

"Yes! I fed him both divine fruits according to your order… and I also left a note for him as you said." The boy said excitedly and nervously, "I disguised myself as a doctor and found out the location of the patient's emergency room. No one saw me!"

"After he ate the fruit, the wound began to heal, so I came back to see you!"

The boy gasped for breath, inadvertently wiping the sweat from his forehead. It seemed that even with his evolutionary body, he was a bit overwhelmed by the journey.

"Woo…" Xiao Hei's eyelids lifted slightly, and it whimpered softly.

"Good job." Li Tianran smiled.

"Hehe…" The boy scratched his head, smiling innocently.

In the desolate village, the two looked at each other and smiled. Finally, Li Tianran stopped smiling and asked seriously, "I saved your life, healed your injuries, so I am your benefactor, right?"

"Yes! Your kindness to me, I can't repay even in three lifetimes!" The boy was extremely sincere, his expression indignant, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud, kowtowing to Li Tianran three times. "My parents are dead. From now on, I will follow you! I will do whatever you tell me to do! I will never betray you!"

His attitude was sincere, and his emotions were intense!

He was grateful and appreciative!

This was an extremely heartwarming scene...

But the smile on Li Tianran's face became extremely strange, with a hint of mockery. He remained sitting on Xiao Hei's back, and said calmly, "Since you are so grateful to me… then why did you lie to me?"

As soon as he said this, the air froze.

The expression on the boy's face stiffened, and he stammered, "I… I don't know what you're talking about? How dare I lie to you?"

"You said you gave both fruits to Yu Cheng…" Li Tianran laughed, "But why do I feel like you ate the second fruit yourself?"

"You misunderstood me! How could I do such a thing… Absolutely not! Definitely not…" The boy's face was flushed, and two tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, looking extremely aggrieved. "I followed your instructions. Maybe that person was too badly injured. After feeding him the first divine fruit, he still didn't wake up, so I fed him the second one too…"

Li Tianran watched indifferently as the words "Evolutionary: Intelligence Type" appeared on the boy's body, and said softly, "Keep lying. Keep it up."

"I really didn't!" The boy still gritted his teeth, refusing to admit it!

"Since that's the case, then I'll take your word for it." Li Tianran slowly stood up and said calmly, "You just said that whatever I ask you to do, you will do… Good! Now I want you to die."

The boy's body froze, and his brow frantically twitched.

"Clang!"

Li Tianran threw a delicate dagger in front of the boy and said, "Pierce it into your brain through your temple. That's what I want you to do."

The boy tremblingly grabbed the dagger and suddenly stabbed at Li Tianran.

Bang!

The pressure in the air suddenly surged, and before the boy could jump up, he was pressed down by a finger pressed on the top of his head!

The boy felt as if a mountain was pressing on his body, and the bones all over his body were rubbing and twisting violently. It seemed that in the next second, he would be crushed into minced meat!

"Spare me! Spare… me!" The boy squeezed these words from between his teeth, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground as he begged for mercy.

Li Tianran's eyes were extremely cold, and he didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, as if he really wanted to take the boy's life!

"Wait! I don't know… who you are, but I know… I am very important to you, otherwise, you wouldn't have let me eat that magical fruit…" The boy trembled, "You must have something more important to get from me, you dare not kill me!"

The boy's mind was unusually clear at this time. He absolutely did not believe that Li Tianran saved him with such a precious fruit just to let him be a deliveryman!

"There must be something you need on me, it must be like this… you absolutely dare not kill me!" The boy seemed to have found a way to survive and shouted frantically, "I just ate the second fruit, it made my body even more magical! Now all the fruits are gone. If you kill me, then it's like wasting those fruits… it's not worth it!"

The boy was very cunning. After realizing that his deeds had been exposed, he immediately found a new way to save his life.

It was just a pity that he had some misunderstandings about Li Tianran.

"You really think too highly of yourself." Li Tianran's eyes were full of mockery, "I let you eat the evolutionary fruit because I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get to the hospital in fifteen minutes. It's just like giving you a shot of chicken blood. This kind of fruit is not precious to me… and it won't be wasted. Xiao Hei will make good use of your body."

"What's more, what do you think I can get from someone like you, who can push his own parents into the mouths of mutated beasts to save his own life? A wolf's heart? Or a dog's lungs?" Li Tianran sneered, "What I've been saying all along is… to heal your injuries, but I didn't say I would let you continue to live."

Hearing this, the boy's face became ferocious, as if the last layer of fig leaf had been揭开 (jiē kāi - uncovered), and he roared frantically, "They are my adoptive parents, and they have no blood relationship with me… Ah!"

With a scream, the boy's arms broke, and his bare bones burst out of his body.

Li Tianran's eyes were extremely cold.

Thirty minutes ago, when he came to this village, the first scene he saw was not the giant lizard eating the boy.

He had arrived earlier.

He saw the giant lizard chasing a family, the parents desperately pushing their son forward, letting him escape…

Li Tianran was just about to kill the giant lizard when, in the next second, he saw that the son actually pushed down his parents. While the giant lizard was eating the old couple's bodies, the son ran away without looking back.

Seeing this scene, Li Tianran felt his whole body trembling.

The apocalypse is really a monster, and it is not surprising to give birth to any twisted monsters, but the scene in front of him still made Li Tianran's stomach clench.

He even couldn't help but want to kill this beast-like bastard himself, and even thought about letting the giant lizard directly eat this boy!

But… Yu Cheng still needed to live, and Li Tianran couldn't find anyone else who could deliver things for him in a short time!

Li Tianran temporarily let the boy live, made him an evolutionary, let him experience the most wonderful feeling in the world, and then dragged him from heaven to hell!

Sure enough, the evil of human nature will not be changed by the kindness of others.

The boy once again deceived Li Tianran and ate the second fruit.

"I just want to live, what's wrong with that… If I pull them, all three of us will die together! Letting them die will buy me some time, maybe I can still live!"

Li Tianran stepped on the boy's head, looked at the remains of the incomplete giant lizard, and then looked at the boy under his feet, and said coldly, "So disgusting…"

The boy had always thought that this sentence was referring to the giant lizard.

But from beginning to end, what Li Tianran was talking about was him!

"My left and right hands control two gates, one leading to heaven and one leading to hell." Li Tianran said indifferently, "I opened the door to heaven and let Yu Cheng live! I opened the door to hell and let you die!"
