Chapter 216 Death and Hope
"..."
Escape?
Song Shu wanted to pull Fu Ying's hand away, but Fu Ying did not let her do so.
"……Yes."
"I really want to escape from you. I'm afraid that I can't give you the same feelings. I'm worried that I'll fall deeply in love and then be abandoned by you."
"I really want you to love me like this forever, but I'm also worried that you love me too much and I can't love you like that. I'm afraid that one day my fear will make me start to worry about gains and losses and become a person that even I hate."
"I can't help it... I need to distance myself from you."
Song Shu could hardly feel the sweetness in her mouth. Her eyes were blocked by Fu Ying, and she felt relieved instead.
She even realized that she couldn't look her lover in the eyes as she said these words that were clearly hurtful in her heart.
At this moment, Fu Ying's heart was like the surface of a lake that had been hit by a stone, creating ripples. There were thousands of words hidden in her heart, but they were bound by the shackles entangled beneath the lake, and could not be expressed through her lips.
Song Shu wanted to say something, but a message of small profit came from deep in his mind.
Seeing her expression change slightly, Fu Ying asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something happened in Building No. 5," Song Shu said. "Two elderly people died."
"……what?"
When they rushed to Building No. 5, people had already gathered outside the corridor, as well as the sounds of childish crying.
Bo Li held a notebook in his hand and handed it to Song Shu with a heavy face.
There were two big words clearly written on the top of the notebook - suicide note.
The handwriting was illegible, with some strokes interrupted, and there were obvious signs that the owner's fingers were shaking while writing.
Dear Leader,
We have experienced the destruction and reconstruction of the world, and never thought that in the last moments of our lives, we would experience something more terrible than that. It is even more heartbreaking to see our children who have not yet grown up suffer from the disaster. My last wish is that you can protect the people in this community, as well as our young Haiyou and Tianhu.
I believe that one day, the world will return to a peaceful era. Thank you for your hard work. 』
Yang Haiyou and Yang Tianhu's grandmother died in her sleep.
My grandfather wrote a suicide note, took sleeping pills, and lay down beside his wife who had lost her breath.
The two children were lying on the bed, hugging the old man and crying loudly. Zhu Tianchen and Mu Wenxuan tried to pull the two children apart, but Yang Tianhu punched and kicked and struggled desperately. Mu Wenxuan whispered, "Go find Cao Ling."
"Now is the most appropriate time to use the ability of 'hypnosis'." Bo Li said to Cao Ling who looked worried, "Go ahead."
Cao Ling stepped forward, and Yang Haiyou laid on his pale grandfather, stroking his grandfather's cold cheek with his little hands.
When she touched her grandfather's eyes, she suddenly felt something slide under her fingertips.
Yang Haiyou stared blankly, carefully lifted his grandfather's eyelids, and saw the gray pupils.
——The next second, the pupils turned and stared at her straight.
"Ah——!" The child's scream exploded in the ears of Zhu Tianchen and Mu Wenxuan. Before they could react, the dead old man raised his head, roared and bit the girl!
Fu Ying moved quickly, but half of Yang Haiyou's little finger had been bitten off!
The black blade pierced through the mutated old man's brain and he fell straight back. A gray spirit crystal was picked out by the black mist.
"Haiyou!" Bo Li and Song Shu rushed forward to check on the crying Yang Haiyou. They saw that the wound on his finger had turned black, and countless lines spread from the finger to the arm - the child began to twitch in Fu Ying's arms!
Fu Ying frowned and bit her finger, dripping blood on the wound, then pinched her chin to feed the blood in.
Yang Tianhu looked at his sister with tears in his eyes, he was already frightened.
"Haiyou, Haiyou!" Bo Li shouted. Zhu Tianchen picked up Yang Tianhu and stepped back, while A Yan came to the other side of the bed, reached out and quickly opened the eyelids of Yang Haiyou's dead grandmother.
"No mutation." Ah Yan said, "But in case of any accidents, I will--"
The black blade penetrated into Yang Haiyou's grandmother's forehead and destroyed the brain tissue.
Yang Haiyou's twitching in Fu Ying's arms gradually stopped, but his breathing also stopped.
To everyone's astonishment, a faint green light began to flicker in her heart.
After a few seconds, Yang Haiyou's open mouth suddenly began to take large, trembling breaths. Fu Ying patted her chest, looked up and said to Song Shu, "It's okay."
Song Shu lifted up Yang Haiyou's hand. The little finger that was bitten off had now reshaped its flesh and bones and returned to its original state.
Even Fu Ying was stunned for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"It seems that there is no need to reattach her fingers."
"Wait - is this a superpower?" Song Shu muttered, "Haiyou has become a green superpower."
The others gathered around, all of them were so shocked and delighted that they were speechless.
Fu Ying said: "Yes."
"Also, we now have a healing psychic in our base."
……
The bodies of the two old people were cremated, and subsequently, two more tombstones were added to the cemetery.
Yang Haiyou and Yang Tianhu stood in the cemetery. Aunt Wang touched the two little heads, hugged them in her arms, her eyes full of sympathy and pity.
"Don't cry, poor kid. Come to your aunt from now on. I will help your grandparents take care of you."
"What's going on?" Bo Li said, "How can it be that even if you don't get the fever, you will become a weird zombie after you die?"
"Have we discussed this issue before?" Song Shu looked at Fu Ying, "What did you say at that time?"
"Me?" Fu Ying thought for a moment and said, "We have discussed before that if the blood of the monster enters the body of an ordinary person, it will cause infection."
"But now we know one thing, that is, ordinary people who were not infected with heat and not bitten by the monster will also mutate after death." Bo Li said, "But how is this possible? It doesn't make sense. And Haiyou and Tianhu's grandmother did not mutate, only the grandfather mutated."
"Could it be related to the medicine he took?" Ah Yan said, "Some ingredient in the medicine destroyed some cells in the body, allowing the virus to enter."
"But that's not right. They're already dead, so how could the virus enter?"
"Didn't everyone suspect that the fever was transmitted through the air?" Ah Yan said calmly, "Since it is transmitted through the air, then whether it is a living person or a dead body, it is possible for it to mutate."
"But this raises another question," she said. "If we can find antibodies to the virus, does it mean we won't be infected in the future?"
"But in this case, the antibodies will also make the superpowers in the body disappear, right?" Bo Li said, "The destruction of the world is already a fait accompli. Even if there are antibodies, they will only be found by the monsters and used as weapons against superpowers."
"Song Shu, what are you thinking about?" Ah Yan looked at Song Shu who was deep in thought, "Do you have any ideas?"
"My idea..." Song Shu looked at the small figure standing in the cemetery, "Compared to ordinary people, people with special abilities should find it easier to survive in this world."
"So, we can't let Grandpa Yang and Grandma Hu down." She looked at the others and made her conclusion.
"Release one of the White Sorrows imprisoned in the outer wall protection zone and convert an ordinary person."
