Hold His Hand

in the forest.

An old tiger is walking slowly, step by step.

His fur is dull, and in some places the hair has even fallen out bald, and his body is patchy, mottled and ugly.

He was still very thin, and his bones were particularly obvious when he was walking.

He is very old, so old that it is difficult to hunt. He can only eat some leftovers left by others to eat, or cut open dead trees to eat the bugs inside.

He always felt that the next moment he would fall to the ground and lose his life.

He also looks forward to death.

But thinking of his comrades who died in battle, and thinking that if he died, no one would remember those people again, he felt that he could still hold on.

This tiger is a fallen beast.

He doesn't know how long he has been on his home planet, he only knows that when he first came, he was young and strong, but now, he is almost unable to walk.

From an orc to a tiger who can't speak, eats fur and drinks blood, he couldn't accept it at first, but slowly, he got used to it.

It's just that even if he gets used to it, he doesn't want to be with other fallen beasts.

It would remind him over and over again that he was originally a human being.

Such a reminder made him painful, and he felt that he might as well live as a tiger and then die.

Over the years, he would occasionally meet other fallen beasts, and they would say hello to each other, and then go their separate ways.

He remembered that among the fallen beasts he had encountered, there was also a tiger, and he didn't know how that person was doing now.

As he gets older, he can't help but recall the past, but unfortunately, he can't go back to the past anymore.

Once upon a time, he was young and strong. In order to avenge his parents and support his younger siblings, he joined the army and fought against the Zerg...but now...his younger siblings are probably still young, but he is about to die.

The old tiger continued to walk forward, and suddenly, a roar sounded above his head.

He looked up and saw a helicopter appearing above him.

What's wrong?Want to take him for treatment?

When he came to the home star, the military did not have a base on the home star, but he knew that the military had built a base on the home star in recent years.

The people in the base will patrol the mother planet, and sometimes rescue those injured fallen beasts.

But he doesn't need help.

He's lived alone for so long, he doesn't need to go through a bunch of unnecessary treatments on his deathbed and use those treatments to prolong his life by a few days.

The old tiger didn't know where the strength came from, and ran forward.

But he was already a Fallen Beast, and he was still too old to run away from those strong soldiers who came to catch him!

Those people quickly caught him with a net and controlled him.

"Roar!" The old tiger angrily tore at the net that covered him.

Those soldiers who caught him rushed up to hold him down, and one of them said with a sob, "Captain Li, now the military has a research on fallen beasts, and we need your help!"

The tiger stopped struggling and looked at the person in front of him suspiciously.

The soldier wiped his tears, and said again: "If the research is successful, the Fallen Beast might be able to return to adulthood...Captain Li, are you willing to cooperate with the research?"

Tiger nodded.

Several soldiers looked at him, their eyes were red.

On their contact terminal, there is information about all fallen beasts.

The Captain Li in front of him looked old, but in fact he was only in his seventies, which was the prime of life for an orc.

But he was injured 30 years ago and became a Fallen Beast, and now he is dying.

However, even if he is dying, knowing that he is useful to the country, he is willing to participate in the experiment...

These people quickly took the tiger on the plane, asked the medical staff to perform a simple examination on him, and said: "Captain Li, you must cooperate with the treatment! Only in this way can you participate in the next study! If the study is successful, in the future The Fallen Beasts can be restored to human form!"

The tiger, whose teeth were about to fall out, nodded solemnly.

The plane flew forward, and the soldiers went to find the next target again!

This is an old goat.

He was lying in a cave, gnawing hay beside him.

He originally lived with some other fallen beasts, but until half a year ago, he felt that his body was not doing well.

He didn't show discomfort, just said he wanted to walk around, and left the place they lived together.

They had been through too many deaths, and every time someone close to them died, it hurt so much that he didn't want his friends to go through that again.

He would rather die quietly alone.

He found a cave to live in, prepared some hay for himself, and planned to spend his last years in the cave when he couldn't run anymore.

Now, he can't run anymore.

Once upon a time, he ran so fast. Although his beast form was not strong and he could not completely transform into a beast, when he transformed into a half-beast, he could come out on all four legs. Run for hours without stopping, avoiding the pursuit of Zerg.

At that time, he relied on this ability to save his lover.

Unfortunately, now, he is going to die.

I don't know what happened to his lover.

Three years ago, his lover came to see him once, but he ran away as soon as he saw that person... Now that person should have gone back, right?

The war was over, he hoped that that person would find another partner and live happily...

"He's here! I've been watching!" A familiar voice sounded.

The goat was stunned. He suspected that he was hallucinating—he actually heard the voice of his lover.

He subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the cave, and saw his lover destroy the fence he worked so hard to get in.

The goat stared blankly at the man in front of him who had not changed much from 20 years ago. Is this a hallucination before death?

He greedily looked at his lover whom he hadn't seen for decades, and then heard his lover say with tears in his eyes: "He's right here, catch him!"

After speaking, his lover suddenly rushed over and hugged his feet.

Is this because he is afraid that he will run away?But he couldn't run anymore.

Wait, isn't this a hallucination?

His lover is here again?Also found someone to catch him?

What to catch him for?He is just a fallen beast that is dying of old age. You can't catch him and eat mutton, right?

The goat was a little dazed, and then someone rushed up, lifted him up and walked out.

"Meh..." he called out in a daze.

At this time, his lover spoke again: "Ah Yun, we are conducting a research. If it is successful, the fallen beast may be cured and become a human again... Would you like to participate in the research?"

The goat was a little overwhelmed.

Such an important research, why did he invite such a dying beast to participate in the experiment?

Is it because the experiment is dangerous and there may be casualties?

If this is the case, then he should really find someone who is dying like him.

Goats were likewise carried onto the plane.

His lover hugged him and kept crying... Was it because he couldn't bear him?

He licked his lover, wanting to comfort him, he is not afraid of dying in the experiment, as long as he is still useful?

But... Compared with the time they met three years ago, why is his lover so much darker?He doesn't dress well either. Is he doing well?

……

Similar things are happening in many places on the home planet.

There are only 2000 people in the military base. Most of them are disabled soldiers who were injured in the war.

But apart from them, there are actually some other orcs on the home planet—some people will come to settle on the home planet after their loved ones become fallen beasts.

Some of these people are scattered all over the home planet, and some live near the military base. There are probably hundreds of people in total.

All of these people, except for a few who stayed behind, all went to arrest people!

At noon, when Lu Yanzhou was eating, an old fallen beast was brought over.

Zhao Nan didn't bring the people to Lu Yanzhou's side right away, but let them settle down nearby first, and went to talk to Lu Yanzhou himself.

"Young Master Lu, some people have already been sent here. They are all very old, and two of them are in very bad condition." Zhao Nan said.

"Do you have any information on these people?" Lu Yanzhou asked.

Zhao Nan immediately took out the materials of those fallen beasts: "Yes!"

The time was relatively short, and there were only eleven fallen beasts brought back.

Among the eleven people, two were in very poor condition.

One is a captain surnamed Li. This captain Li has the animal shape of a tiger. He was seriously injured and turned into a fallen beast in order to cover the retreat of his comrades. Decades have passed, and now he is very old and is about to die.

The other one in very bad condition was an orc named Baiyun.Baiyun's animal shape is a goat, he is not a soldier, but an ordinary person on a planet occupied by Zerg.

Back then, in order to regain that planet, the military arranged for some soldiers to go to this planet to investigate the movement of the Zerg. At that time, Bai Yun helped them a lot.

Unfortunately, when the military liberated that planet, Baiyun was injured by the Zerg and became a fallen beast.

At that time, Baiyun was still very young, but the lifespan of a sheep is not long, and now he is almost dying.

"Then treat these two people first." Lu Yanzhou made a final decision.

And when Lu Yanzhou made his decision, outside the mother planet, the military released the information of Captain Li and Bai Yun.

Captain Li's parents died at the hands of the Zerg. At that time, he had just awakened, and he had two younger brothers and two younger sisters.

In order to avenge and support his family, he joined the army and served in the army for 20 years.

In those 20 years, he was brave and good at fighting, and made many contributions. In the end, he was seriously injured and turned into a fallen beast to save his comrades.

After that, he chose to go to his home planet and live alone.

In the interstellar era, there are many devices that can record various images. The military released some images related to Captain Li, especially the tragic war that turned him into a fallen beast, which was clearly displayed in front of all interstellar people. .

There is no doubt that Captain Lee is a hero.

Lu Yanzhou treated him first, but Captain Li, who was brought before Lu Yanzhou now, is a bald tiger with no teeth.

People watching the live broadcast saw Captain Li's introduction, and then looked at the skinny tiger, and broke down in tears for a while: "Crying is stupid."

"Captain Li is too pitiful."

"After he arrived at his home planet, he has been living alone, and he doesn't know what kind of life he has lived in these years."

"He must be fine!"

……

At the same time, on a certain planet, someone wailed loudly: "Didn't you say you are dead? Brother! Brother!"

While crying, he called his other siblings, and the four of them ended up crying together.

They are Captain Lee's younger brother and sister.

After Captain Li joined the army, they lived and studied on the money sent back by Captain Li, always thinking about the day when they would repay their brother.

Then one day, the military told them that their brother had died.

The military also sent their brother's relics.

In the end, their brother didn't die!Just turned into a fallen beast!

These four people are now successful in their careers, but now they are crying badly, wishing they could go to their home planet right away.

They complained that the military concealed the information that their brother was still alive, but they also knew that the military would do so, and it must be their brother's request.

Now they don't ask for anything but hope that their brother will get better.

"Lu Yanzhou, when my brother recovers, I'll give you half of my property!"

"Brother! Brother!"

"Brother, why did you become like this..."

"When my brother is well, I will give you all my property..."

……

The four of them typed in the live broadcast room with trembling hands. Those who were married promised to give half of their property, and those who were not married promised all their property.

But Lu Yanzhou couldn't see these.

At this moment, Lu Yanzhou felt that the tiger's condition was really bad.

It should be because he was too old to hunt enough prey, and this tiger was even severely malnourished.

Lu Yanzhou treated Captain Li in a simple house built by Zhao Nan. After he checked Captain Li, he brought a pot of spiritual plants and put it in front of Captain Li: "Captain Li, eat, take these herbs I ate them all."

Captain Li was dumbfounded.

He thought he would be sent to the research institute, why was he sent to such a place in the end?

It's quite simple here, it doesn't look like a research institute.

The key is that the person in charge here looks very young at first glance!

This young man actually let him eat grass like a tiger?

"Captain Li, this is part of the experiment, eat it quickly." Zhao Nan urged from the side.

Captain Li could only feel aggrieved and ate the whole pot of grass.

At this time, someone had already cleaned him, tied him to a small hospital bed, and covered his body with a white cloth, only his head was exposed.

Is this for surgery?To dissect him?

Why do you have to do this, don't give it to him, and disinfect this room?Because he's dying, isn't it necessary?

Captain Li felt that these people should dig out his beast beads to take a look. After the death of the orc, the beast beads will disappear, so they did it while he was still alive.

A few years earlier, Captain Li would have been afraid, but now he is almost dead!

Lieutenant Li greeted the ensuing death calmly.

Then he saw the young man who had let him eat grass come to him and put his hand on his forehead.

He felt a warm current in his body, which was quite comfortable, but he couldn't digest the grass he ate before, and now his stomach hurts a little, probably because of a stomachache.

Wouldn't it be a little embarrassing if he had diarrhea during the operation?

Captain Li was quite confused, and he didn't understand why the operation hadn't started...

Captain Li's beast beads were severely broken, and there were five large pieces in total. It would be a little difficult to glue these five pieces back together.

If you take your time... Captain Li doesn't have this lifespan, just wait for him to take his time.

After thinking about it, Lu Yanzhou not only transformed the small fragments of beast beads in his body into spiritual power, but also transformed two of the five large fragments of beast beads into spiritual power.

In this way, he also has enough spiritual power to glue together the remaining three larger fragments of beast beads.

Although after doing this, Captain Li's beast beads were at most only half of the original, but he survived, which is pretty good!

Lu Yanzhou was already familiar with the way, this time it only took half an hour, the tiger on the hospital bed turned into a strong man with tiger ears.

This strong man's face with Chinese characters is too thin, which makes him look more square, which doesn't match the cute ears on his head.

But Zhao Nan and the others, who saw the scene of the big change to a living person for the first time, were all overwhelmed with excitement, and many of them even cried again.

Of course, those who watched the live broadcast had to cry with them.

It was Lu Yanzhou who was the calmest: "Okay, don't cry, take him out and give him something to eat, otherwise he will starve to death... Don't forget to let him go to the toilet..."

Captain Li was wondering why he hadn't cut himself, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why, he seems to have a hand?

This is a hallucination before death, is it definitely a hallucination before death?

But why did he still want to... have diarrhea when he had such hallucinations?

Just when Captain Li was wondering, someone rushed out with his arms in his arms: "Captain Li, I'll take you to eat...wait a minute, do you feel sick to your stomach? Or can you eat while eating?"

Captain Li: "???"
