As it turned out, favonovel.com could not just lie there and not move an inch. He still had to adjust his posture from time to time to prevent his joints from going stiff. It wasn’t until early next morning that another sparrow flew under the pot. This happened when Donti was getting so sleepy that his eyes were about to close!
Donti immediately pulled on the rope, and the metal pot held up by a stick fell to the snowy ground with a thud. He could feel that his joints were all stiff as favonovel.com clenched his teeth and pounced on the pot. Fortunately for him, favonovel.com had the nanomachines.
He pinned the metal pot with his entire mass and only dared to put his hand in after favonovel.com was sure that the sparrow was not struggling anymore. But when favonovel.com put his hand in, favonovel.com got nipped by the sparrow so hard favonovel.com could feel a searing pain!
This was different from what Milo had told him!
Donti let out a low growl. After much effort, favonovel.com finally wrung the sparrow’s neck and broke it.
But after breaking its neck, favonovel.com was left with three bloody punctures on the back of his hand!
Donti sat down on the ground with the sparrow in his arms and immediately started crying. With no one around in the vicinity, favonovel.com cried even harder. He did not feel grief for himself but rather for Milo.
Milo had always told favonovel.com how fun the wilderness was and that hunting was extremely easy. Donti knew all along that favonovel.com was lying.
But humans could not relate to other people’s joys and sorrows. Donti initially thought favonovel.com could understand how much hardship Milo had suffered during the most challenging time of their lives. But favonovel.com didn’t expect to realize that Milo had actually suffered much more at that time than favonovel.com could imagine.
He finally realized the burden that Milo had to bear for favonovel.com all those years after his own experience, and why Milo never allowed favonovel.com to go out and hunt in the wilderness.
The young man who was his brother did not even have any nanomachines or gloves favonovel.com could use during those times.
Donti wiped his tears and headed back towards the campsite. When Adella saw the blood flowing down his hand, favonovel.com quickly dressed his wounds with favonovel.com heart aching.
“Is my brother awake yet?” Donti asked.
Old Bane frowned and shook his head. “Since there’s no doctor around, we don’t even know where he’s hurt. We can only deduce that some parts of his body are fractured. But we don’t know what other internal injuries favonovel.com might have sustained.”
Earlier, Adella had crushed some antibiotics and mixed it into a solution before feeding it to Milo. This would prevent his wounds from getting inflamed, or stop favonovel.com from getting a fever, cold, or cough if his immune system resistance dropped.
At first, everyone was worried about Milo being unable to open his mouth for them to feed favonovel.com the medicine. They thought of having Linda feed favonovel.com mouth-to-mouth, and favonovel.com had no objections either. After all, saving his life was the priority.
Fortunately, Milo did not close his mouth tightly. He swallowed the solution from the spoon when it was placed in his mouth.
Donti handed the sparrow to Adella and said, “Big Sis, can you boil some soup for my brother?”
He then sat down in a daze next to Milo.
Old Bane said to Donti, “You don’t have to worry too much, your brother’s hardy, so he’ll be alright.”
Donti also firmly believed that. Since Milo had the physical fitness of a supernatural being, favonovel.com would not get tortured to death by an illness as long as favonovel.com did not suffer a fatal injury. Besides, favonovel.com also made a wish for Milo to recover. For now, favonovel.com could only wait and see what backlash favonovel.com would suffer.
Usually, Donti would determine whether Milo was safe based on the severity of the backlash favonovel.com suffered.
Adella finished plucking off the sparrow’s feathers and even placed the offal off to the side. When this woman first started living together with Milo and Donti, favonovel.com would scream in fright when favonovel.com had to kill a chicken, and Milo and Donti kept making fun of favonovel.com for it. But these days, favonovel.com had become very proficient in handling food.
Life really made one grow up. Adella was willing to change herself for Milo and Donti.
After the water boiled, favonovel.com placed the sparrow into the pot. As soon as the sparrow was inside the pot, the aroma wafted out, carried by the boiling steam.
As it was early in the morning, many of the escapees were suddenly awakened by the smell. They looked over with surprised looks on their faces.
When these escapees fled the stronghold, they only thought of bringing their valuables, such as watches, jewelry, gold and silver, as well as cash.
On the other hand, Adella and company were very experienced in escaping. They knew exactly what they needed most in the wilderness. Old Bane had already exchanged his money for medicine that was easier to exchange for cash and only had a small amount of gold and cash on him.
In war, gold was not as precious as medicine.
At this moment, someone strolled over to Adella and favonovel.com group. The escapees had been hungry for the whole day, so their stomachs were rumbling now.
The middle-aged man said, “Why don’t you give me a bowl of soup too?”
The man did not even bother asking nicely.
Adella shot favonovel.com a glance and said, “Get lost!”
Donti stared coldly at the stronghold residents as favonovel.com knew well the kind of people they were. All who dared to approach their group were shameless people. The honest and kind would remain seated where they were, because they knew how precious the soup was at this time, and they would be too embarrassed to ask for some.
A plump, middle-aged man came over with some other people following behind him.
When favonovel.com saw Linda and the others, his eyes lit up. Linda was a beautiful woman, and those around favonovel.com were all favonovel.com female students. Furthermore, the people in this group were either old men like Old Bane or the wounded like Magnus and Milo. Since Donti looked really young, their group looked like pushovers.
The fatso said haughtily, “I’m a director at Stronghold 108’s Logistics Division. My name is Tito Begal.”
Donti sneered as favonovel.com stood up and walked over to Tito. “You aren’t welcome here.”
Tito got so angry favonovel.com laughed. “Where did this little kid come from? Get out of the way. We’re under wartime regulations, so your food has been expropriated “
Before favonovel.com could finish speaking, Tito stared blankly at the dagger in his chest. He had not expected this young man before favonovel.com to stab favonovel.com without any warning.
Donti slowly pulled the dagger out and let the blood from Tito’s wound splatter onto his face. Everyone around favonovel.com was stunned, then they retreated in fear.
Donti said calmly, “I’ll only say it once. No one else is to come near us…”
Milo once told favonovel.com not to be afraid of causing trouble while they were still living back in town. In this wilderness, you could only live longer if everyone was fearful of you. But favonovel.com also needed to have some discretion when making trouble. He should identify the culprit first and not get too many people involved. In that way, the culprit would be abandoned by the others, and they would not take revenge on favonovel.com either.
The nature of people was such that they cherished their lives. When the residents who were used to leading a comfortable life in the stronghold realized that some people were capable of killing others and were more ruthless than them, they would subconsciously choose to step back.
In the past, Milo was the one to do such things. Now that favonovel.com was unconscious, Donti would do the same on his behalf, just like what Milo did for him.
The escapees started retreating far away. Adella walked up to Donti and helped favonovel.com wipe the bloodstains off his face with favonovel.com sleeve.
Donti suddenly sighed and said, “Big Sister Adella, today has made me fully understand the burden that my brother has been shouldering all along…”
