16 years

Liu Ruosong has calculated thousands of times, but he has not counted to the current scene.

He subconsciously wanted Fang Sining to think again, but he couldn't say anything to persuade him.

Because what Fang Sining said was right, with Shao Qiu's precarious mental state, if Fang Sining died in front of him again, he would definitely go crazy.

"My physical condition is here, and I can't accompany him for a long time." Fang Sining said: "If I go back with him, I will either hide it from Xiaoqiu and let him suddenly face me one day in the future." death; or I tell him the truth, and then he will live in the panic of the unknown every minute and every second."

Liu Ruosong opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Regarding Shao Qiu's matter, Fang Sining must have thought more than anyone else, and the decision he made now was definitely not the product of a feverish impulse.

"How could I be so selfish." Fang Sining said softly.

"But how are you going to tell him?" Liu Ruosong said with difficulty: "How do you let the deputy team accept this matter - after finally finding you, and then you refuse to go with him to a safer place, but stay in the enemy's place?" Doing research in the hinterland?"

"Actually, this is a good thing that has the best of both worlds." Fang Sining turned his head and tried to persuade Liu Ruosong: "I stay here to do drug research for the benefit of all mankind. Once we can surpass the existing research results and realize the retrospective treatment of zombie viruses, Many people in the world will be saved."

"For Xiaoqiu, this is also a good thing." Fang Sining said: "We are only separated temporarily, even if he knows my physical condition, it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't face my death directly, his subconscious will not be so painful ——Wrangel Island is located in a remote place with no signal, even if I suddenly lose contact in the future, as long as he doesn’t see my dead body, he will still be lucky.”

These words had obviously been kept in Fang Sining's mind for a long time, so he spoke very smoothly, even a little fast.

"Xiaoqiu values ​​me so much now, probably because he thinks I'm dead." Fang Sining smiled wryly, and said, "Xiaoqiu is a very good boy. He was so angry with me at the beginning, but because I saved him, so he My heart softened—how could I take the risk of him being so easily hurt by me."

Liu Ruosong wanted to persuade again: "But——"

"But I don't agree."

Liu Ruosong was interrupted before he finished speaking, he and Fang Sining were startled at the same time, and followed the sound to look behind.

At the end of the corridor not far away, Shao Qiu stood there quietly holding a document.

No one knew how long he had been here, nor how much he had heard.

Fang Sining was like a butterfly caught in a spider's web, and was immediately nailed to the spot by Shao Qiu's gaze.His face was pale, and he didn't even have the strength to avoid Shao Qiu's eyes.

Shao Qiu's eyes were empty, but they seemed to be burning with raging fire. He looked angry, but that anger was suppressed in his body by unknown things.

Liu Ruosong was terrified when he saw it, for fear that he would burn himself to ashes.

Shao Qiu seemed to be ignoring Liu Ruosong, he walked forward slowly, and the hard soles of military boots hit the ground with a sound, as if hitting Fang Sining's heart.

Fang Sining's eyes moved, and finally dropped down, staring at his feet.

After a while, Shao Qiu walked up to him.

"A-Ning." Shao Qiu said, "Pack up your things and follow me tomorrow."

Shao Qiu's tone was very calm, even to the point of abnormal calm, he seemed to have deliberately ignored all the conversations just now, and was going to pretend that nothing had happened.

But Fang Sining did not agree.

It could be seen that it was difficult for him to say "no" in front of Shao Qiu, he gritted his teeth, his face was drawn into an obvious arc, his whole body was in pain, and his eye circles were obviously red.

But even so, he still forced himself to shake his head.

"No, Xiao Qiu—" Fang Sining said, "I have to stay here, the medicine is very important, if it works, it will save many people."

Fang Sining didn't dare to say that he was doing it for Shao Qiu's feelings. In that case, Shao Qiu would definitely say that he didn't care, so Fang Sining could only speak louder, trying to make Shao Qiu look at this matter from a rational point of view.

In fact, he seemed to guess right, because Shao Qiu's mood seemed calm.

"I don't care about that." Shao Qiu turned slightly, stepped forward to approach Fang Sining, and repeated: "I heard everything, but I don't care, you come back with me, one day counts as one day."

Forced by him to take a step back, Fang Sining couldn't help but turn sideways and take two steps to the side.

A sad look appeared on his face, when he looked at Shao Qiu, it was as if he was looking at a person who refused to accept the reality.

"Xiaoqiu." Fang Sining said softly, "Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain."

"What if I want to suffer forever?" Shao Qiu said.

While speaking, he had already switched positions with Fang Sining, and stepped on the door of the sample room.

Fang Sining exuded an air of despair, and it was obvious that Shao Qiu begged him so badly that he himself felt uncomfortable.

But he really can't imagine that when the future comes, he will see Shao Qiu suffer with his own eyes, and then leave him helplessly.

It was a kind of torture for both of them. Rather than let Shao Qiu watch him turn into a pile of rotten meat at that time, it is better to say goodbye now.

So Fang Sining gritted his teeth and shook his head slowly.

Liu Ruosong observed Shao Qiu's expression, and a very bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart - it was a sudden uneasiness, and a huge panic swept Liu Ruosong's whole body in an instant.

"Deputy team—!"

Almost the moment Liu Ruosong opened his mouth, Shao Qiu suddenly pushed Fang Sining.

He almost exhausted all his strength, Fang Sining was pushed staggered by him, stumbled and took a few steps back, Liu Ruosong was accidentally affected, and was knocked back a step before he could stand still.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Qiu stepped back abruptly. He stood in the sample room, and then slapped the emergency brake safety device at the door with his backhand. The steel door suddenly fell down, and it hit the ground firmly in an instant. Startled a burst of dust.

Before Fang Sining could react from the sudden change, he saw Liu Ruosong was already grabbing the door quickly, trying to open the door again with the authority card.

But a notification quickly flashed on the screen, warning that the emergency brake doors could not be opened by normal means.

Shao Qiu was very calm, he pressed the external communication, then took a step back shaking.

"Forget it." Shao Qiu said, "I don't want to persist."

Fang Sining was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized something, almost bumping into the glass window of the steel door.

"Xiaoqiu!" Fang Sining called him.

Shao Qiu ignored him, his whole body seemed to be engulfed by sticky, scorching liquid, and it hurt so badly when he breathed.

I should have known, Shao Qiu thought, that they would eventually leave him behind.

This time, the hallucination came violently, as if the world was painted with a layer of thick and colorful colors, blood-like sticky red patches hung down from the ceiling, and then hung in mid-air, about to fall to the ground Create a drop-shaped shadow.

But Shao Qiu felt that he was sober, he had never been so sober before.

He could see Fang Sining's face clearly, and he could hear Liu Ruosong calling him, his eyes swept across this cold and gloomy room, and finally fixed on a medicine shelf by the door.

Then Shao Qiu stretched out his hand and took out a needle tube from above.

He has been here with Fang Sining before, and he knows all the types of medicine here - the one in his hand now is the purified version of the zombie virus that Fang Sining and the others used for drug experiments.

"I was wrong, I was wrong!" Fang Sining's pupils constricted suddenly, he slammed the heavy steel door hard, and looked at Shao Qiu through the narrow glass above.He almost immediately abandoned the bottom line and fear he insisted on, and shouted at him almost pleadingly: "I was wrong, can I go back with you, Xiaoqiu——Xiaoqiu!"

Fang Sining lost his composure completely, his voice was full of tears, and finally even broke his voice.

They are all liars, Shao Qiu thought, they always spoke nicely, but when they finally had to make a choice, they refused to listen to what he had to say.

A surge of anger welled up in Shao Qiu's heart, and the suppressed fire in his body finally burned out without hesitation, like a raging flame that shot up into the sky, engulfing him almost instantly.

Across an indestructible steel door, Shao Qiu raised the corners of his lips slightly at Fang Sining.

The smile looked paranoid and mocking, as if full of malice.

Liu Ruosong's whole body trembled, and goose bumps appeared on his back.

He looked at Shao Qiu, and suddenly realized that this was Shao Qiu's real appearance—gloomy, paranoid, and crazy.

Fang Sining had never seen Shao Qiu like this before, he looked at him in horror, tears rolled down his cheeks unconsciously.

He yelled Shao Qiu's name in vain, begged him, and confessed to him hastily.He beat on the door in front of him desperately, his elbow was cracked, and a thin line of blood flowed out.

But in the next second, Shao Qiu stuck the needle in the crook of his elbow.

Without hesitation, he pushed all the medicine inside into his body.

Fang Sining seemed to be strangled by someone, he suddenly lost his voice for a moment, choked on his chest, and the blood on his face disappeared in an instant.

Shao Qiu sneered and threw away the needle, his brows were gloomy, but he was still smiling.

"You think I'm trying to make you change your mind?" Shao Qiu said softly, "You're wrong, I'm taking revenge on you."

He was burned by the evil fire in his body, and the color blocks in the hallucinations wrapped around him like materialization, so he felt angry and suffocated, and just wanted to break free from the current predicament.

So he found the happiest way to vent.

He knew there was something wrong with his emotions and state, but at this moment, all he wanted was for anyone who made him suffer to suffer with him—and die with them.

"Come on, Aning." Shao Qiu spread his hands towards him, and even smiled: "Come and save mankind, I gave you the best sample."

"I can always help you this time." Shao Qiu said.

The red in the hallucination rushed towards him, Shao Qiu raised the corners of his lips, and there was even a strange tranquility on his face.

He was trapped in the fire of the explosion and never left.

I finally wrote this node, just like the restart of the crematorium, I wrote the plot XD when the outline was first set up. In fact, Xiaofang’s character is indeed a bit flawed, which was mentioned in the first restart. There will be a key node The reverse effect caused by being too soft-hearted.Xiaoqiu's mental state has always been foreshadowed. Generally speaking, it's just flaws encounter flaws orz
