foreigner's journey

Chapter 329 I Won't Leave You

Tifa smelled a strong smell of blood before she entered the depths of the clearing, which reminded her of the day when the village was slaughtered.

How many demon wolves have died... Will Senior Brother be okay?

She anxiously patted the white mane of the Thunder Wolf Dragon below her, urging it to go faster.Thunder Wolf Dragon snorted and moved faster.

The more he walked forward, the stronger the smell of blood, accompanied by a slightly burnt smell, made Tifa's ominous feeling even stronger.

Finally, they made their way back to the mountain of rubbish deep in the clearing near the outer wall.

This place was originally piled up with a large amount of rusty iron and steel waste materials and industrial waste, but now there are almost all demon wolf corpses here.The thick bloody smell even produced a faint blood-red mist under the reflection of the Moko furnace, which penetrated into people under the 'moonlight'.

"Senior Brother! Senior Brother!"

Tifa turned over and jumped off Thunder Wolf Dragon's back, even staggered and almost fell. She ran forward, looked around, and shouted, hoping to find that familiar figure.

But there was still silence, save for the echo of the girl's cry.

Tears filled her eyes, and Tifa wiped the corners of her eyes while calling Heather's name in a crying voice.Even though she was never afraid when she was attacked by the demon wolves, but now, she is really scared.

Don't leave me alone, brother.

Under the moonlight, the girl walked alone among the rubbish mountains full of corpses, looking for the most important person to her, and the Thunder wolf dragon cub sat quietly in the corner watching all this, silent.

The silence after each call would make the despair in the girl's heart go further.

Every time she took a step forward, she was afraid of seeing her brother's cold corpse among the wolf corpses everywhere, and Tifa rejected this possibility from the bottom of her heart.

God, if you really exist, please don't take brother away, he is my last family member.

"Tifa, what are you looking for?"

Brother, I'm looking for a teacher... Tifa turned around abruptly, and saw that familiar figure with eyes blurred by tears.

She stumbled and ran forward, threw herself into Heather's arms, and burst into tears: "Brother! I thought you... thought..."

Heather had just used the Shinra company's special medicine that was forcibly confiscated from Renault to give emergency treatment to the bruised and strong man, and then threw the summoning stone and walked out. Unexpectedly, he just walked a few steps It was found that Tifa was crying and looking for something among the garbage mountains.

Only then did Tifa realize that there were bloodstains all over Heather's body, and she hurriedly stroked Heather's body with trembling hands: "A lot of blood, brother, are you injured?"

"Stupid, how could I get hurt? It's just a few wolves, so weak." Heather shrugged indifferently, causing the old wolf to stare at him in the distance: "Hey! It's okay, stop touching, I really No injuries."

The girl's reserve and shyness were all left behind, Tifa hugged Heather tightly, and buried her head on his chest: "Senior brother, don't leave me..."

Heather's body froze, and it took a long time before she hesitantly touched Tifa's head with blunt movements, and her voice was no longer so indifferent or cynical, but revealed a rare tenderness:

"... Well, I won't leave you."

............................................................

"Thank you both for saving my life!! Thank you for saving my daughter Marlene!"

Three days later, the strong man who had lost too much blood finally woke up after treatment. As soon as he woke up, he found Heather and Tifa as soon as he figured out the situation, and bowed to thank them despite the wounds on his body bursting open.For him, the safety of his daughter Marlene is much more important than his own life.

Tifa and Heather rescued Marlene, which was the greatest kindness to him, let alone Heather rescued him from the pack of demon wolves alone.He is determined to repay this kindness.

Heather, who was wiping glasses behind the bar, glanced at him and said impatiently, "Get up, I'm not into this kind of business. I won't pay your medical bills if the wound bursts open again!"

The indifferent tone made the burly man very uncomfortable, remembering that the person in front of him was his benefactor, the burly man who was just about to explode suddenly did not know what to say.

In front of the bar, Tifa was hugging little Marlene and teasing her. Seeing this, she smiled and helped the burly man out: "Mr. Barrett, aren't you from Midgar?"

The burly man named Barrett touched the back of his head, and when he saw no one around, he whispered, "I'm from Kerel Village."

"Corel Village? Could it be the one that was avalanche..." Tifa and Heather looked at each other in surprise.

Barrett shook his head: "It wasn't Xue Beng who did it, it was Shinra's hands! The Moko furnace they installed in Kerel Village had a major accident. In order to cover up the truth, Shinra Company dispatched [special forces] to destroy Kerel Village. Slaughter them all, and plant the blame on the Avalanche organization."

"Your hand was also at that time..."

Barrett stroked the broken part of his right arm with his left hand, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Yes, this is the 'souvenir' left to me by Shinra, and one day I will give it back to them a hundred times and a thousand times! "

"This kind of thing can't be said casually in Midgar. The third rule of survival in the slums of Midgar is [No matter how much you hate Shinra, you can't tell others in Midgar]." Tifa looked at Barrett , as if he saw himself full of anger when the village was just slaughtered.If I hadn't met my senior brother, I'm afraid I would be struggling to survive while being tormented by the fire of anger in Midgar at this time.

"Of course I know about this kind of thing. But you two are my benefactors, and I will not deceive you with lies."

Barrett said firmly: "My life belongs to you. Even if I was stabbed to the Shinra Company, it would be nothing more than giving my life back to you. After all, I still earned a few days." Ha ha."

"Please rest assured Mr. Barrett, we will never betray you to Shinra Corporation." Tifa hugged little Marlene, with a bright smile on his face: "By the way, how long have you been in the Qifan Street slum?"

"It's been less than half a month since I came here. The environment and atmosphere here are much better than those in the Bafan Street slums, but the place to live and job opportunities are not easy to find."

Barrett rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly: "Sorry, I have occupied your room for so long, I will take Marlene out immediately."

Tifa looked at Marlene who was babbling in her arms, and then looked at Heather.The latter snorted, with a displeased expression on his face: "Look what I'm doing, you're much better at speaking in front of that old lady Marlene than I am."

"Damn it, don't say that about Granny Marle." Tifa patted Heather's arm lightly, then looked at Barrett with a smile:

"Mr. Barrett, are you interested in being our neighbor?"
