[Comprehensive] Doudou, you don't understand love

He lowered his head and stared at the man lying at his feet, always maintaining the posture of raising his gun, standing still like a statue.

【ended. 】

Realizing this, he shook his hand holding the gun, and subconsciously pulled the trigger again.

The bullet hit the body of the dead Masato Kanao, splashing a cluster of blood; the body vibrated, and slightly changed into a more deadly and somewhat comical posture.

This sense of humor dispelled the anger that he had endured for a long time.His hand holding the gun stopped shaking and began to pull the trigger one after another.

Surrounded by survivors and guards who were busy fleeing for their lives, no one had the time to pay attention to him—compared to the walking corpses around him, the teenager standing here and shooting at a dead body has nothing worth noting.

It wasn't until the bullet was emptied that Yongcai raised his head as if waking up from a dream.The walking corpses outside are already quite close here, he can't stay where he is, or he will be affected.

As a last resort, he had chosen to kill Masato Kanao with one shot, using the most pallid form of revenge - no begging for mercy, no repentance, no torture and cruelty, and thus ended the life of this scumbag.Probably because of this, instead of feeling satisfied, he could feel more and more sadness overflowing his chest.

Those eyes, which had gradually lost their vitality after Li's death, revealed something painful and lively again.

【……it's over. 】

The small voice that kept repeating in his heart made his once numb mind gradually think of things other than revenge.From Li's face, Komuro's face, to parents' faces, to Ju Chuan, Busujima, Hirano, and the only memory of the cunning who extended a helping hand to Li on the day I saw Li for the last time...

Accompanying these memories are his memories of Tsururu Rin when he was young.

That is--

In the current broken world where the connection between people is completely cut off, he is the only person left who has had a deep connection with his life;

The only witness who ever actually knew his "past" and "existence".

He thought in a trance for a while, then turned around and looked in the direction of the building on the east side where Kouya and Tsururu were.

……

"With the current level of chaos on the ground, it is impossible to get out in a short time. If there is no way out here, then temporarily stay underground for a while and see the situation."

"……Um."

"Look here. The ammunition is quite sufficient, and it should not be a big problem to break through by then." Qiao Nie stopped in front of a wooden box, and shone a flashlight on the neatly stacked ammunition boxes inside.He didn't hear a response after saying this for a while, he turned his head to look at Xiaodou behind him, "Rin?"

She stood motionless in the darkness, still silent.

He could only raise the flashlight a little, and look at her tear-stained face through the dim light outside.Facing her chaotic eyes, he swallowed the cunning words and turned them into a sigh.

But before he could say anything persuasive, she suddenly spoke in a trembling voice.

"...Don't speak to me in this tone of confession."

For a moment he couldn't think of an answer.

She staggered a step to avoid the flashlight, and continued walking in silence.

Originally wanted to evacuate the base through the back door, but the outside has been completely surrounded by living corpses, and more survivors are constantly changing corpses. The worrying police who rushed back had already started indiscriminate shooting, so the two decided to go from the side of the building. After entering the basement, stay until the situation outside subsides before making plans, and then explore whether there are other passages leading to the outside of the base in the basement.After walking for a while, they found this underground warehouse for storing ammunition and weapons.

The area of ​​the basement was not large, and it didn't take long for the two of them to enter the ventilation duct from the end of the warehouse, and stopped when they reached the end.

Qiao Yao, who was walking in front, looked at the locked ventilation shaft above his head, heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down on the floor. "There's no way out. Take a break and think of a way."

Xiaodou walked to him and sat down, put her arms around her knees, and leaned her head against the wall without saying a word.

In order to relieve the pain, Qiao Nie sniffed cigarettes in his backpack.But when he touched the lighter, a hand holding the lighter stretched out in front of his eyes.

Just when he thought she couldn't speak, she asked, "Why are you still so calm?"

The flames were faintly lit, he looked at the burning cigarette butt, and replied in a deep voice: "It's because everything I wanted to do has been done."

The chest pain intensified, Xiaodou turned on the lighter, and said slowly: "This kind of selfish answer is completely unacceptable. Can you be so calm after finishing your own affairs? Then what should you do if you are an 'unfinished business'? manage?"

Qiao Yao turned his head to look at her, the light of the cigarette in the darkness cast an orange spot on his eyes.

The corners of his mouth seemed to curl up in the darkness.

"This is tricky. What if I don't quiet down and make it even harder for you?"

Tears fell down from the burning eyes again; Xiaodou raised his hands to cover his eyes, his fingers unconsciously exerted a little force, and they sank into the skin, causing a little tingling pain, and his throat choked when he called his name again. "enough."

He sighed, "The body temperature has just started to rise, and it will be the countdown time when the body temperature drops again. Why don't you save your tears first?"

A slow, meaningless hoarse moan escaped her throat.

"how could it be possible."

The voice fell, and the dark tunnel fell into silence.

At this moment, the faint echoing footsteps suddenly came from above the two of them.

The conversation was suddenly interrupted, and Xiaodou pulled away from her disgusting thoughts in a daze. After a pause, she wiped her eyes lightly with her sleeve, stood up, walked to the bottom of the ventilation shaft, and took out her gun to aim at the mouth of the well.

The upper floor is a tunnel on the ground floor. If there is a threatening enemy, she will shoot without hesitation when the opponent leans forward.

The sound of footsteps came from far to near, walking towards the direction of the two of them.She raised the flashlight, turned on the switch when the footsteps stopped above her head, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

The footsteps stopped abruptly, and then a familiar voice came from above: "Heliu?"

Xiaodou recognized the voice, frowned and almost thought he heard it wrong, "...Yong?"

"It's me. Step back." There was a sound of unlocking the lock from above, and the ventilation shaft cover was opened after a while, and Yong poked his head out from above.

Qiao Yao stood up and went down the well to look up at Zhu Yong, squinting his eyes, "Why did you come here?"

"I guess you should retreat underground temporarily, so I tried to find you from the necessary road." Yong's voice was a little hoarse, and his expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness. "There's a way out from here. Come up."

Accompanied by his voice, a weak light came down from above, Yong put an electric lantern on the edge of the ventilation shaft, and then lowered a soft ladder.

The light reflected the boy's face pale.

The brain was still unable to think effectively under the intense emotion, and Xiaodou stood still and stared at Yong quietly, without even putting down the raised gun.Cunning behind him came over and grabbed her wrist, calling her in a low voice as a reminder, "Rin." While forcing her to put down the hand holding the gun, "You go up first."

She turned her head to look at him suddenly, as if she had been electrocuted.Seeing her almost shattering reaction, Sly took the gun from her hand, held her hand instead and pushed her up the ladder, "Calm down a little bit. I'm not dead yet."

Xiaodou grabbed the ladder, stopped for a while, and then climbed up.Behind her came a voice of cunning: "Be careful." Then he turned on the flashlight to help her illuminate.

She climbed up the ventilation shaft along the ladder, and stretched out Yong's hand in front of her; she hesitated to hold it, but was pulled to the side of the well.When he looked up, he saw the small black characters flickering above the young man's head reflected by the faint electric lights——

【Rekindled vitality】.

Just as she looked over, the black air began to fade away, and the erratic small characters gradually regained their icy gilt luster, and then a string of golden numbers symbolizing the degree of favorability floated under the name.

After the eternal spirit was stimulated by Miyamoto's death, the small characters that once turned black and the invisible favorability returned to normal.

This is an extremely ironic turn in this case——

The fingers holding the gun trembled nervously. She suppressed the hysteria and looked down at the cunning that was climbing up.

Due to the arm injury, the movement of the cunning bite is somewhat inconvenient, but it can still move barely.The shaft has a certain height, so he is extra careful and slower.

And just when he was about to climb to the middle section, the whole building suddenly shook violently!

Xiaodou grabbed the handrail along the well to stabilize his balance, and there was a harsh creaking sound in the surrounding darkness, as if something like a pipe in the tunnel had been shaken; and the soft ladder below had no fulcrum, and immediately followed the inertia to It swung wildly, and slammed into a side wall with cunning!

The vibration didn't stop, and then the ground shook violently again!Climbing on the ladder again would probably cause him to be injured. Cunning grabbed a protruding wall of the side wall of the shaft with his uninjured hand, and jumped back onto the ventilation frame below.

At the same time as the cunning fell to the ground, one end of the ventilation frame could not withstand the vibration, and suddenly fell downward amidst the sharp noise!Without intentionally keeping his balance, Qiao Niu took advantage of the situation and lay down on the ventilation frame to protect his vital joints!After the ventilation frame fell a certain distance, it shook violently and almost got stuck, but it was already separated from the ladder above the head by a distance beyond which it was impossible to jump up.

Xiaodou leaned forward and looked down immediately after the shaking stopped, "Shen Ye!?"

After stabilizing his body, Yong raised his flashlight to look behind him, "There is a landslide. If you don't leave quickly, the partition door in front may be deformed due to the vibration, and the entire tunnel will be sealed."

The originally tense spirit was instantly constricted by Yong's voice, Xiaodou suddenly turned around and drew his gun to point at him, and said sharply: "It's your blasting plan again?"

"It's not me. The bombs I planted before have estimated their power in advance, so that the main foundation will not be damaged. If I have also prepared a blasting plan to completely collapse here, then there is no need for me to venture in." Yong faced the muzzle of the gun. Unmoved, his eyes were calm without a trace of wavering. "Calm down, there must be some trouble above. There is no time, you go out first, and I will rescue Mr. Snake."

Xiaodou was about to answer, when a cunning voice suddenly came from below: "Don't worry about me. Get out of here immediately."

A beam of electric light came up and drew a circle, and the two of them saw Qiao Nie holding the flashlight and crawling on the sloping ventilation frame below through the dim light, so it shouldn't be a serious problem.

Yong frowned, "I wouldn't leave now. If it wasn't for me, I wouldn't..."

Before Yong could finish speaking, Qiao Nian interrupted his words: "It doesn't matter whether you save me now or not." He lifted up the sleeve of his injured arm, revealing the bandaged wound, and sighed. "I've been bitten by those guys. Got it? Get out as soon as possible now."

Yong's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes widened slightly.

As if she didn't hear it, Xiaodou turned around to unlock the latch of the ladder, and asked in a low voice, "Can this be made longer?"

Just as Yong was about to speak, the ground suddenly shook again!Xiaodou was unlocking the lock, her hands had no strength, she almost slipped down the ventilation shaft, and Yong quickly grabbed her!This time the vibration was extremely violent, Yong saw that Xiaodou was about to break away from him and tried to grab the ladder, so he couldn't help but stop her, "Heliu!"

Seeing this scene, Qiao Yao raised his voice and shouted: "Jing Hao! Take her out, please!"

Being completely attracted by the hostility in Qiaogna's voice, Yong's expression was suddenly shaken, and his eyes were fixed on Qiaogna.Cunning eyes looked back sharply, the two eyes locked for a moment, Yong's pupils trembled, he lowered his eyes and grabbed Xiaodou, pulling her away from the edge of the well with more force.

"Give up, Tsururu."

Xiaodou stopped her movements and mechanically turned her head to look at Yong.

He could clearly see the other person's lips moving, but he couldn't understand what the other person was saying—the voice was isolated from the intense tinnitus, and he couldn't even hear the rumble of the earthquake.

[Do you want to "go back"? 】

She was in a trance for a moment, but it seemed like she was in a trance for a long time.

[As long as you hold these hands, you can go back. ...The final "key" is right in front of you, if you let go this time, you will probably lose your chance forever. 】

There is a sober voice in the back of my mind emphasizing, but the instinct of the body is involuntary.She felt that Yong's strength holding her wrist was slowly taking her away from the edge of the well, and her blood was suddenly filled with a sudden violent impulse. One hit!

While he let go of the pain, she pointed the gun at him like lightning, pulled the hammer without hesitation, and dropped her finger on the trigger.

"Stand back," she heard her own voice say.

【……Feel sorry. 】

She tightly twisted the ladder with her fingers, and the rough texture of the nylon scraped the skin, but she didn't feel much pain—all five senses were almost numb due to intense emotions—looking out of focus at Yong in front of her, she murmured in a low voice.

"Sorry....I still can't do it."

Whether it was for Yong Ting, herself, or someone else, even she herself didn't know.

The voice fell, without giving Yong any time to react, she turned around and jumped down the ventilation shaft!

Seeing this scene, Qiao Yao who was standing below reflexively propped up his body, and the ventilation frame under him shook dangerously!

When Xiaodou fell to the middle of the ladder, she stretched out her arm and hooked a section of the ladder's horizontal cable. The ladder immediately sank due to the weight brought by the falling inertia, and she was also in danger after falling a certain distance with the ladder. The ground is suspended in the air and shakes!

Seeing this, Qiao Nian's pupils constricted, he arched his body and kicked his right leg fiercely, using his strength to pounce directly below her like a fired shell!At the same time, she let go of the hand holding the ladder, and jumped down!

The slight sense of weightlessness when falling made her feel even more absurd and unreal about the current development.

At the moment before she was about to fall on the ventilation frame, he just jumped in front of her, opened his arms and caught her violently, then caught her and rolled over on the ground as a buffer, and the ventilation frame fell violently again; The person lost his balance, and Kankan rolled to the edge of the ventilation frame. He made a low nasal sound because of touching the wound, while standing up, he picked her up along the way.

The slight burning sensation in the joints that had been scratched just now gradually became clearer, and she looked up in the darkness to look in his direction.

——It was only then that I felt a little more real.

The earthquake became more severe, and the lantern on the upper floor of the ventilation shaft overhead was smashed, and the light suddenly disappeared.He stretched out his arms to wrap her head around her head as a protection, and the shout was broken and indistinct as if separated by a wall amidst the loud noise.

--【are you crazy? ! 】

She was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly without warning remembered the scene of talking with Makishima at the seaside apartment.

[Under the so-called superficial value of others in your eyes, there are deeper, non-self-interested motives hidden. 】

【Do not understand?For example, the bond between people, the happiness understood by others. 】

【…and the feeling of loving others before oneself. 】

Trying hard to think about the consequences that may never go back, only to find that you can't concentrate, and even unexpectedly calm.

Instinctively, she accepted the fact of her failure without any hindrance in an instant, without even having time to explore herself or regret——

It was an emotion that had fermented and gradually awakened since a long time ago.

Finally, at that moment, it erupted strongly, and it dominated the action before reason.

She regained consciousness sluggishly amidst his questioning voice, and raised her hand to hold his hand on her shoulder.

Feeling the tears dripping on his arm, Kou stopped his movements.

The flashlight that had fallen in the confusion just flickered.

In the flickering twilight, the man's gray-blue pupils showed the color of the deep sea.

……

"How much did your body temperature rise?"

"It's 38.7° now."

"That's right. It's already started."

"..." Hearing this, Xiaodou's eyes darkened. "That kind of thing is fine anyway." After finishing speaking, he fell silent.

——The ventilation duct collapsed seriously. In order to escape, the two returned to the less damaged munitions warehouse before the ventilation rack completely collapsed.After a short rest, Qiaogna suddenly started to have a fever, which was a sign of the beginning of the disease.

Sly stood up, pulled out the rope from the backpack, and wrapped it round and round on the post behind him.

Seeing this, she spoke again, "What are you going to do?"

"Just in case." Sneaky said as he turned sideways and began to tie himself up, "Help me tie the knot on that side."

Seeing her not moving, he urged again in a deep voice. "cold."

Only then did Xiaodou stand up, tie the last knot for him, tighten the rope after he slid back to the ground with his back against the upright, and then sat down beside him.

Cunningly moved his arm a little.The upper body cannot move, but the forearm below the elbow can move freely.This method of binding is much less burdensome than binding both hands, and it is not too late to handcuff them after losing consciousness.Confirming that the tie was secure enough, he relaxed his body against the post. "Take a break."

The two took a silent nap for a while, although they were extremely tired, neither of them felt sleepy.

In the end, Cunningly said: "The ammunition and weapons here are sufficient, enough for you to protect yourself. After I get sick, you try to find the exit."

"There is no exit." Xiaodou interrupted him in a low voice, "You have also seen the underground structure diagram, the only large ventilation duct leading to the outside has collapsed, and all the partitions of the arsenal have been locked, there is no possibility of any miracles The secret escape route."

There was silence between the two for a while.

Sly sighed wearily. "Why did you do this? For a guy who will become a dead person in the next few hours, I made a choice that might let you be buried with me. I have long been aware of this day, but you shouldn't do it."

"...Maybe it's because I've realized something about this day. Don't tell me your last words, or you'll make me cry again."

Cunningly smiled wryly, "Are you threatening..."

Just as Xiaodou was about to answer, the two flashlights lined up on the ground suddenly went out intermittently at the same time.

The warehouse was suddenly plunged into darkness.

She reached out to touch the flashlight, fumbled to open the battery cover, and flinched as soon as she touched the surface of the battery, "Is it burnt out?"

A naughty voice came from the darkness: "There are light sticks in the backpack. Don't move, I will push the backpack to your left."

Xiaodou went to touch the backpack he pushed, and accidentally touched his arm, feeling the obvious scalding temperature, and couldn't help but pause.

Qiao Nian didn't move, and let her follow his arm all the way up to touch his forehead.

Feeling the contours of his eye sockets and eyelashes under the back of her hand, Xiaodou raised her hand and moved it up, touching his forehead.

It was noticeably hotter than before.

"..." Her heart seemed to be sinking, she whispered, "It's hotter than before."

Then the wrist was held back by him.

In the black haze that seemed to completely envelop his body, his voice seemed to be close at hand due to the echo, but also seemed to be far away.Only the temperature from his wrist is the only confirmation of his location.

"There is something you must agree to," he said. "After I get sick, shoot me immediately. After that, I have to work hard to live, and I can't cry here and wait for me to rot."

"If I promise you, will you stop saying the last words?"

"Tsururu Rin."

"Got it, I promise."

She finally found the light stick from her backpack, and gently twisted one end against the ground, a little light slowly lit up in the darkness.

The cunning still didn't let go of her wrist.

Using the fluorescent light, he looked at her face, pulled her a little closer, raised his hand again with difficulty, and touched her cheek.

"Too bad, I really started crying."

"Really." She belatedly noticed the saltiness of her tears. "Then don't irritate me anymore, or there will be a performance that screams and tears at the same time."

Qiao Nian's expression softened slightly bitterly, and he curled his fingers to draw away a drop of tear. "There is a hidden pocket in the inner layer of the backpack, help me turn out the contents inside."

She pulled the backpack, opened the innermost layer, and found that the hidden pocket inside was bulging a lot.Find the zipper from below and unzip it, revealing a corner of black fabric.Pulling it out completely, it was a crumpled black suit.

She froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered something in astonishment, "This is?"

"It's something I brought back from my 'home'." Sneaky raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "I can't just parachute here naked, can I? When I came here, the 'personal items' I carried with me came with me." This suit is all too familiar. The one (one) that was replaced.

The hidden attribute of this "old bachelor's slovenly appearance" made Xiaodou couldn't help but curl up his lips.

He continued: "There is a bag in the inner layer of the suit."

She turned the suit over and reached into the bag, first pulling out a stack of blue post-it notes.Recognizing this historical relic of the Unsung Hero brand that he had left for Yong in the painkiller bottle he had left repeatedly at the clinic before, she showed a teasing expression. "Are you still carrying it with you?"

"I forgot to throw it away." He explained. "Keep looking."

She reached into the inner pocket and felt again, feeling her fingers touched a round hard bead.

Startled for a moment, she took the "bead" out of the bag.

On the palm lay quietly a light blue glass bead with a dull color and full of cracks.

"This is a relic I found after you died when I was in my 'home'. I didn't know what to do with it, so I wrapped it in a suit and stuffed it in the luggage when I fled. I didn't expect to be brought here together. .”

Xiaodou put the glass beads next to the fluorescent stick and looked at it by the light. Tears almost blurred his vision, but he still smiled when he wanted to say something. "Bringing this kind of thing on your body, you did it on purpose."

Qiao Niu chuckled, "The person who should be the defendant is the first to file a complaint. Locking this thing together with the photos of the parents in the drawer of the bedroom, is it to cause a headache for the criminal police who searched the deceased's house?"

"Mr. Criminal Police should be the one who is wrong. You are obviously just a failed love partner, but you still continue to cause trouble for the other person for the rest of their lives." She closed her fingers and held the glass bead. "If you had tried your best to get back together earlier, I wouldn't have messed up my life because I met someone worse."

After a while, Qiao Yao replied softly in a low spirit: "It is indeed my fault. At that time, until I saw you again in the isolation medical center, I did not have any doubts about the fact that you have recovered. No Being able to feel your pain is a mistake that I could barely forgive because of my age when I was in college, but I will punish you anyway.”

"Stop talking in your sleep. I lied to you first." She lowered her head to hide the emotion on her face, holding the glass beads in both hands, holding them in front of him as if pleading guilty, "I'm sorry, classmate cunning, please stay with me Let's have a date."

His expression calmed down wearily.

"The result is still the same. This time, I used the worst way and the worst Jedi to let me know what you think."

The voice became softer.

"I won't be fooled by you again this time..."

She looked down at the ground, watching the occasional teardrops stained with fluorescent light and falling to the ground.

His breathing gradually became so light that it seemed to be gone.

"I'm overheating, I'll take a break..."

After waiting for a while, she finally withdrew her hand and sat gently beside him.

……

Time seemed to pass quickly, but it was extremely long.

The glow of the light sticks gradually went out, and the air seemed to become thinner.

Six hours have passed, and the cunning still hasn't woken up.

Xiaodou's hand holding the gun trembled nervously intermittently, thinking about the last time she checked the pupils of Qiao Nian an hour ago, the gray spots that had expanded to almost cover the entire eyeball.

Even with the light of a fluorescent stick to observe his eyes, he was not awakened. If it wasn't for the fact that he was still breathing, he would have completely lost consciousness as if he was dead.

High fever is the first sign of disease, followed by various abnormal signs in the body.The most obvious of these is the change of the pupil - when the white of the eye is completely cloudy and the pupil is dilated, the lesion has reached the final stage.

She thought about it, and didn't check on the situation of Qiao Nian again, but sat next to him again, and slowly closed her eyes.

Even though the temperature was not low, the indescribable cold still permeated the bone marrow a little bit.

Sitting like this for an unknown amount of time, she heard a soft sound coming from her side.

He moved.

Knowing what was about to happen, she felt a choke in her throat, and a rust-sweet taste gushed out.

Even though she knew exactly what she should do, she didn't even have the courage to confirm it—even if she didn't have the courage to confirm it, it would be better to stand up temporarily and stay away from it—but her whole body seemed to be numb from the cold, and she still couldn't move.

The rope made a rustling sound, and he "woke up" completely.

A moment later, a hoarse and vague growl escaped from his throat.

Although he couldn't see it, he could feel that he had sensed her presence and turned in her direction.She is sitting next to him.With such a close distance, even if he was tied up, he could easily touch her.

She trembled uncontrollably.

【ended. 】

【ended. 】

【ended. 】

Even though I knew I should leave immediately——

The brain is tightened by sharp self-reminders, but the body always obeys instinct and remains motionless.

He finally struggled violently, growled and turned his head to "pounce" on her——

Because the body is restrained, only the head and neck can move.Even so, it was enough for him to "find" her—the next second, his chin hit her shoulder!

She felt the heat of his breath on her neck for a moment.

But her subconscious reaction was to open her arms and wrap her arms around him in confusion.

With such an almost suicidal behavior, she was even in a trance ready to face the pain of being bitten in the next second.

But he stopped suddenly.

She remained delirious, motionless for a moment, without even realizing it.After a few subtle seconds passed, she belatedly realized——

I noticed that he was no longer extremely hot, but a bit of cool body temperature, which was transmitted through her arm around his head; I noticed his chin resting on her shoulder and the still movement; I noticed my own Breathing stopped for a while.

In the feeling of a little lack of oxygen, her chest rose and fell slightly.

Then I heard a low voice, blowing into my ears with my breath.

"Sure enough, I still didn't want to shoot. I promised to live a good life?"

Hearing this voice, her mind went blank for a moment.

"Don't worry." He said the second sentence, his voice was still sickly tired. "...I don't seem to be dead."

It was like a limb that had been oppressed for a long time suddenly bled, her scalp exploded, and she felt a tingling sensation all over her body!Her hands fumbled toward him in the dark, tears poured into her mouth as soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was vague: "Shen Ye...!?"

Realizing that she couldn't see anything, she fumbled around the ground beside her confusedly, touched the light stick that was placed by her feet as a spare just now, folded it forcefully, and eagerly lifted it up to shine it on him.

The gradually brightening light reflected his face.

Although his face was pale, the whites of his eyes and pupils, which had turned completely gray just now, completely returned to their true colors, and the pupils became clear again, with tired and fresh eyes.

She couldn't digest what happened, she couldn't speak at all, only tears still poured out like money, as if she was going to drain the weight of her life on this day - even the whimpering couldn't stop It stopped, and in the end it completely turned into a broken cry.

Then she put away the light stick, reached out and hugged him.

Crying so hard, apart from the blockage of the nose and throat, even the ears started to ring, and he couldn't hear a word of what he said later.Whimpers echoed throughout the small warehouse.

She couldn't think about whether it was a flashback of dying, or some impossible miracle.

Just because she heard those words when she thought he would never come back was the last redemption.

In this way, I cried until my rationality almost collapsed, and then my emotions gradually retracted.She tried to regain some clarity, and found that he was still motionless, quietly waiting for her to finish crying, and the gentle breath from his nose brushed the hair by her ears from time to time.

He patiently waited for her to stop crying before trying to call her: "Rin?"

She didn't answer, let go of him and stood up to untie the rope.

He stopped with a voice, "Wait a minute, I'm not sure yet..."

Before she finished speaking, she had already cut the rope neatly with a small knife conjured from nowhere. It was as if she had just gained a little bit of hope, and she was all returned to the cage with her calm, high intelligence and good skills.After cutting the rope, before he could move his joints, he pulled his bitten arm again, and untied the bandage in twos and threes to expose the wound.

——Although the wound has not fully healed, it has completely changed.The black and purple spots that represented the "infection" before had all disappeared, and the blue and purple blood vessels extending under the skin, just like snake venom, also disappeared. The wound returned to its normal color and began to form scars.

She stared at the wound for a while, and after a while, her hands began to tremble violently due to excessive emotional ups and downs.After a long time, she looked up at him.

"You healed...?"

she said hoarsely.

He let out a light breath. "Honestly, I don't know either."

While speaking, he raised his hand towards her.

Due to being tied up for too long, his movements were a little stiff; his arms were raised slowly, and finally finally landed lightly on top of her head, just like he used to do—

"But I do feel 'alive' now."

She was stunned for a while, raised her hand to touch his forehead, and then froze.

When I spoke again, the sound was intermittent.

"The fever is gone...the fever is gone."

He touched the back of her head with his palm, and rubbed it comfortingly. Xu Xu said: "The numbness of the wound before is gone. Ever since I was bitten, I have always felt that my body is heavy, my spirit has become dull, and my eyesight is actually declining. Before I fell asleep, what I saw was completely blurred..." He pressed his eyes.

"My eyesight has recovered... Now I feel like I have relieved the burden, and there is no abnormal feeling at all except for the normal pain of the wound. If it is the near-death excitement..."

"No...not right..." She said in a daze, "I have reached the point where the eyeballs have pathological features, and it is impossible to go back... No..."

Cunningly hummed, "It stands to reason that there should be no possibility of recovery."

As if he suddenly thought of something, he said a little tiredly: "... I remember that Jinghao said before that he saw Makishima in the worry society? You have been traveling together for so long, he should have a good understanding of Makishima, admit his mistake The chances are slim and there is no reason to lie to us."

Before this, Xiaodou had already vaguely thought of some possibilities, so Wen Yan just nodded slowly, because of this speculation, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, "If he is really 'cured', then the same thing will happen. On you too..."

"Contrary to evidence, if I don't get sick again, then there is a great possibility that he will 'cure'."

Xiaodou was about to answer, when suddenly there was a low and dull sound from outside the arsenal!She immediately grabbed the gun and backpack on the ground, "What's going on? It won't landslide again, right?"

Before the words fell, there was another continuous muffled sound.

Cunningly looked in the direction of the sound source, "It's not the direction of the large ventilation duct." While speaking, the two stood up at the same time, carefully identifying the sound source.

The structure of the arsenal is boxy, with one side connected to the underground entrance and the other side connected to the ventilation duct.During the explosion, one side of the ventilation pipe was impassable due to landslides, and the partition door at the underground entrance was automatically closed and locked because the circuit was damaged by the earthquake, making the entire arsenal the last safe room with no way out.Originally, there was another steel door leading to an unknown location, but it was also locked, and the sound came from behind this steel door.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, they felt a faint buzzing from the ground under their feet, but it was different from the previous explosion, only the ground was constantly vibrating—the shock soon approached here, allowing them to distinguish the sound from the noise. up
