Being a villain in apocalyptic writing

At first, He Ziye sat upright and did not change his posture even when he was crying.

But slowly, his hands loosened from supporting his knees.

The crying gradually became louder, from suppressed to loud.

He seemed to have never cried like this before, and his voice soon became hoarse.

He couldn't even regulate his breathing, and many times he had to rely on Luan Ning to help him breathe before he could recover.

The patient in the room was woken up. Someone came over to take a look, then walked away with a look of heartache.

Gradually, other patients in the room also left.

Luan Ning was very patient. Even though Jiang Ye looked tired, he still didn't move and let He Ziye, who was crying, pull at the corner of his clothes.

Even though He Ziye's tears and snot were rubbing against him, Luan Ning's soothing movements were still gentle and gentle.

Jiang Ye sighed and threw the clean towel beside the bed to him.

Luan Ning raised his hand and grabbed it.

"Stop crying until you're hoarse." Jiang Ye looked at He Ziye and sighed exaggeratedly, "I still like the way you glare at people all the time. You're such a pretty kid, but you become a little ugly after crying for too long."

"..." Luan Ning looked at her with an indescribable look.

But Jiang Ye's words did have an effect. At least not long after she finished speaking, He Ziye's crying began to become noticeably quieter.

But it was obvious that he still couldn't control himself, so he started sobbing.

But anyone could see that he had already released all his emotions, so Jiang Ye stared at him quietly.

Under such a gaze, He Ziye finally calmed down slowly and regained his senses. He awkwardly let go of Luan Ning's clothes, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

The memories of this period were still replaying in his mind. Even though he felt Jiang Ye looking at him, he did not meet her gaze.

His eyes looked around and his mouth opened and closed. His movements were smooth and continuous, but he did nothing.

Finally, Jiang Ye asked, "Young man, what are you busy with?"

He Ziye's body stiffened again, and then he slowly turned his head to Jiang Ye, but still not looking at her.

"It's no use hiding. I saw you crying the whole time." Jiang Ye said again, "It was clear and distinct."

“……”He Ziye pinched his clothes tightly.

Be quiet.

Jiang Ye asked again: "Would you like some water?"

He Ziye looked up in astonishment, only to see Jiang Ye looking at him calmly. He asked again, "Your voice must be hoarse after crying for so long. Would you like to drink some water to moisten it?"

He Ziye didn't move, with a look of shame and anger on his face.

"It's not shameful to cry." Jiang Ye said slowly, "At your age, you can cry for hours without stopping. But it's really shameful if you hurt yourself with crying."

"..." He Ziye's red eyes glanced at Jiang Ye secretly again.

"So do you want to drink? Let's talk slowly after you finish." Jiang Ye pointed at the water cup beside him, then at Luan Ning, "With him here, no one will hit you."

He Ziye shuddered again at her words, but this time he nodded quickly.

Seeing this, Luan Ning put down the towel and handed him the water.

The two of them waited patiently for He Ziye to finish drinking the water in small sips, and then Jiang Ye said, "I know you may not want to talk yet, or you may not be used to talking."

Jiang Ye deliberately slowed down her pace in order to observe whether He Ziye would have any stress reaction to her words. She saw that although he was nervous, he did not show the panic he had shown before.

Jiang Ye then continued: "So I will speak, and you just listen. If there is anything wrong, you can correct it for me like you did when you sorted the herbs. How do you think?"

When Jiang Ye mentioned the matter of dividing the medicinal materials, the memories made He Ziye feel relieved, and he nodded without any resistance.

Jiang Ye was a little surprised, but she didn't waste time and said slowly: "You are very concerned about the mercenaries making trouble outside the city, but when I mentioned how those three mercenaries survived for so long next to the polluted sea water, you became very nervous and scared.

"So I was thinking maybe you've seen them. Or maybe you know how they do it, or maybe..."

Jiang Ye paused and said, "You helped them do that."

As soon as these words came out, a trace of shock flashed across Luan Ning's face.

He Ziye's breathing suddenly became rapid again. He was already frightened out of control before Jiang Ye explained, not to mention that Jiang Ye directly opened it up at this moment.

Luan Ning put her hand on his shoulder again, trying to ease his anxiety.

But this time the results were minimal.

Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "He Ziye!"

He Ziye was so frightened by her that he forgot to tremble and looked up at her blankly.

"You are not in danger now. If you don't even have the courage to speak out now, you will never be able to escape from what you are afraid of."

He Ziye's pupils suddenly shrank. After a few seconds, he took a few quick breaths and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, it's me, helping, them."

Luan Ning looked at him in shock.

There was also a hint of surprise in Jiang Ye's eyes.

She made this guess only based on He Ziye's attitude towards the matter, and she was only 60% sure.

However, Jiang Ye quickly calmed down and continued to ask: "So you have special abilities... yes, healing?"

He Ziye was silent for a long time again this time, but Jiang Ye was not in a hurry. It is always the most difficult to speak for the first time, but he has already overcome it.

Sure enough, after a long silence, he suddenly took a deep breath and said, "No."

Nothing more to say.

Jiang Ye and Luan Ning were both somewhat helpless.

Jiang Ye scratched his forehead and asked again: "So it's a defensive type, can it resist radiation damage?"

He Ziye shook his head again this time.

Then Jiang Ye was silent. She calmed down for a few seconds.

Helped three mercenaries, had close contact with polluted seawater, escaped from a life-and-death battle with three mutants, and had a special, extremely healthy pulse...

Clues flashed through Jiang Ye's mind one by one, and he suddenly realized: "Can you expel radiation from the human body?"

He Ziye's body trembled suddenly, and then he nodded almost imperceptibly.

Just when Luan Ning and Jiang Ye were surprised, he corrected them: "They said... this is purification, radiation damage is also OK."

"..."

"..."

This ability...

Jiang Ye was rarely shocked into silence by the news. She subconsciously checked whether there were other patients in the room.

Fortunately, they saw He Ziye crying pitifully and left one after another.

Luan Ning had even more complicated emotions.

Although he had always suspected that the child was a person with superpowers, due to his pulse, he was unable to judge the strength of He Ziye's superpowers.

No one has ever had such supernatural powers in the three years since the end of the world.

Jiang Ye asked a key question: "Will the supernatural powers brought by radiation be expelled as well?"

He Ziye shook his head slowly.

Jiang Ye and Luan Ning looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

It would be fine if it could expel the supernatural powers as well, at least it wouldn't be as coveted as Tang Monk's flesh.

Jiang Ye asked: "You just said they... who are they?"

"I, don't remember." He Ziye suddenly covered his eyes, "There are so many things that I can't remember."

Luan Ning went up to help him massage his head, and Jiang Ye said decisively: "Then don't think about it."

He Ziye looked at her in confusion, and Jiang Ye said, "No one will force you here. If you think about something that will be painful, just forget it."

He Ziye buried his head in Luan Ning and said nothing.

After a while, Jiang Ye said solemnly: "Let's make a deal."

He Ziye turned to look at her again, with some confusion in his eyes.
