390. My last thought after seeing her was to try to let Zhu Ning see...”

Zhu Ning curled up tightly on the ground, ignoring the pain of pollution squeezing into his body. Under the tearing force, Zhu Ning's brain was reopened, and scenes flashed through his mind faster and faster, as if a broken movie projector was playing an old movie.

She fired a shot and killed Zhu Yao in his zombie form, blood splattering on her face. This was a deliberately arranged plot.

Zhu Yao picked her up from school, lifted her up high, and played a childish game imitating a flying bird. This was already written in code.

There was only one scene mixed in the center of the code, making her unable to tell whether it was a memory or an illusion. Zhu Ning saw Zhu Yao's back, and her mother turned around expressionlessly in a white coat.

Zhu Ning started running. It was instinctive, as it was instinctive for all children to love their mothers. She ran faster and faster, but the road became longer and longer. She would never reach the end, until Zhu Yao closed the door in front of her and disappeared forever.

This cycle kept repeating itself. Zhu Ning checked her memory countless times, and even had it collapse. She lay there struggling helplessly, not knowing where she had gone wrong.

Tools need emotions to function, but they don't need too much emotion, otherwise it will affect their effectiveness.

Zhu Yao left, and her spiritual world was silent, like a cemetery.

Zhu Ning closed his eyes and imagined something to resist the pain, like a child drawing on a piece of white paper.

Lines unfolded, circles outlined the picture, and the school playground unfolded before my eyes.

In Zhu Ning's memory, she liked to sit in the playground when she was bored. Watching people exercising made her feel the joy of being alive.

The playground came to mind. Zhu Ning sat on the concrete steps, which in her day also served as bleachers. Some people were skipping rope nearby, while others were practicing for this year's marathon. Cheers and whistles mingled; the playground was always the busiest.

Zhu Ning has always been good at taking care of herself. She fantasized about sunshine, so the weather was very good. The sunlight filtered through the lush leaves and fell on her, making her feel really warm.

Because we know that this is a fantasy, there is no end to the fantasy and it doesn’t even require any logic.

Her body was being decomposed, but her soul was enjoying herself. She was definitely crazy.

Zhu Ning sat under the shade of a tree with her eyes closed, enjoying a moment of peace. Suddenly, her vision darkened and someone sat down next to her. She had a rather rich imagination and even though she was fantasizing, she couldn't even have a space that belonged entirely to her.

She wanted to move to another place, but when she opened her eyes, she was stunned. Xu Meng was wearing a black T-shirt with his favorite band Blood Crows printed on it, and a black guitar on his back.

Xu Meng's hair was casually tied behind her head, and she had exaggerated red headphones hanging around her neck. Zhu Ning was a little stunned when he saw her, and couldn't take his eyes off her for a long time.

Xu Meng didn't look at himself, but stared straight ahead with a focused expression.

Zhu Ning realized something and turned around again. Sitting on her left was Song Zhizhang. Song Zhizhang was wearing a purple turtleneck sweater, cross earrings on his earlobes, and a layer of golden light on his long eyelashes.

Although his outfit is a bit non-mainstream, it looks very gentle on him.

There was a rustling sound behind her. Someone sat down with a cigarette in his mouth and was about to light a cigarette with a lighter in his hand. When he noticed Zhu Ning, he put the cigarette back in his pocket.

Pei Shu was wearing a vacation shirt with a big yellow pineapple painted on it, flip-flops, and a pair of black sunglasses on his nose.

Pei Shu yawned lazily and stretched out his long legs with a dejected look on his face. A newly bought ball of wool was placed at his feet, and a half-knitted red sweater was placed in another bag.

Like a latecomer in the cinema, the next person to enter was Bai Cheng. Zhu Ning recognized her as "Bai Cheng No. 1" at a glance. She was wearing a black raincoat, looking so out of place. She sat next to Pei Shu with a stiff smile on her face.

The other Bai Chengs took their seats one after another, and Zhu Ning's area was suddenly crowded with people. They had the same face, but Zhu Ning could recognize the difference between them.

Bai Cheng No. 2 is the most gentle, Bai Cheng No. 3 was dug out by herself, Bai Cheng No. 4 likes socializing very much, and Bai Cheng No. 5 looked very angry before she died, and now she also looks fierce, as if someone owes her money.

There are many Bai Chengs. If this happened in the real world, it would be a very strange scene. Five identical people appearing at the same time would definitely attract other people's attention, but this is an imaginary world and everyone thinks it is normal.

Zhu Ning couldn't help wanting to laugh, cry and laugh at the same time. She didn't know what emotion she should have.

No one spoke to her, as if they didn't know Zhu Ning at all and they were not familiar with each other. They just came to find a place to sit down.

Everyone was looking at the playground. Zhu Ning was a little curious, so he followed their gaze and saw that the playground was full of people exercising. At first glance, there was nothing interesting to see.

But then Zhu Ning looked carefully and saw a male athlete who was practicing long-distance running just running past him, bringing up a gust of wind. He was wearing blue vertical striped sweatpants and a white short-sleeved shirt, and was sweating profusely. Zhu Ning then saw clearly that the running man was Cheng Mofei.

Zhu Ning was inspired and applied it to other situations. From this perspective, he discovered that everyone's gaze was not scattered randomly, but had their own goals.

Pei Shu kept staring at a group of people playing frisbee in the corner. They were too far away for Zhu Ning to see their faces, so he guessed that it must be the team he had belonged to back then. There was a tall woman with a ponytail, probably Yi Linghe.

Song Zhizhang supported his chin and looked into the distance. The faces of the people were even more blurred. There were only two or three of them, jumping high beside the sand pit. That was Song Zhizhang's own little secret, and even in the world after death, Zhu Ning could not see it clearly.

Finally, it was Bai Cheng. Only then did Zhu Ning notice so many Bai Chengs on the playground: Bai Cheng jumping on the grid, Bai Cheng playing on the parallel bars, Bai Cheng playing double badminton, Bai Cheng practicing high kicks...

The playground was filled with countless white cats. She didn't know how many times she had died. They were like NPCs in Zhu Ning's imaginary world, or like the kittens that could be seen everywhere on the Cat Island in fairy tales.

For the first time, Zhu Ning felt Bai Cheng was so warm, cute and soft.

Zhu Ning took a quick look but didn't see any trace of Lin Xiaofeng. If this was the world after death, it proved that Xiaofeng was not dead yet.

It’s so nice. Zhu Ning curled up the corner of his mouth into a smile, stretched himself, and sat quietly among this group of people, like a wild cat seeking warmth, greedily absorbing warmth from them.

She closed her eyes tightly. There were no longer any wriggling tentacles on her chest, and her spine was no longer covered with black slime. Her brain had grooves like a normal person's, and was not just a black box.

She sat by the playground, listening to the rustling of leaves, feeling the light spots falling on her face, breathing the fresh air, and experiencing the world like a normal person.

She knew that this was a dream, so she weaved a beautiful dream for herself and fell into a deep sleep.

Until her body was gently shaken, the sunlight was blocked, and a drop of cold water fell on Zhu Ning's face through the gap between the leaves.

It started raining in Zhu Ning's world, one drop, two drops, tears falling one after another.

Her body was being shaken, Zhu Ning frowned and refused to open her eyes. She felt very annoyed, so she closed her eyes and breathed hard, trying to put the imagined scene back into place.

But the other party was not happy with her and kept fiddling with her, even dragging her body away.

"Zhu Ning? Zhu Ning!" She thought it was another scene she had imagined, or she had gone too crazy and had other hallucinations.

"Zhu Ning!" Along with the call, dense drops of water fell on her face, as if the rain was drowning her.

Zhu Ning heard the crying. She opened her eyes and was confused. Above her was a somewhat unfamiliar face.

Her facial features were neat and distinctive, like a beautiful girl on a template, with blood on her cheeks, a sad expression, and tears accumulating at the tip of her chin.

She was wearing protective clothing but no helmet. Zhu Ning's sight was temporarily distracted, looking over the girl's head at the cave wall above. There were no contaminated spores, only a black sticky substance flowing.

Zhu Ning was still underground in Utopia when she was suddenly pulled into reality. She felt a dull pain in her heart and could not tell which one was an illusion, the playground or this place.

She wanted to close her eyes and return to the warm playground, but the little girl in front of her wouldn't let her. She was incredibly strong and cried out, "Zhu Ning! Zhu Ning!"

She seemed to be able to say only these two words, repeating the spell over and over again. Zhu Ning remembered, and his newly pieced-together brain began to work.

That was Lin Xiaofeng. Zhu Ning had seen her photo before entering the aquarium on a mission. She was wearing a red dress, standing in front of the glass wall and touching the mechanical jellyfish.

Lin Xiaofeng is now wearing a black protective suit, and the two faces finally overlap. Now Lin Xiaofeng's facial features have grown, his chin is a little sharper, and he looks more mature.

Lin Xiaofeng's memory was a little fuzzy. She remembered that after Bai Cheng died, she wanted to pull open the iron ring of the bomb, but Pei Shu tried to stop her.

Then the mycelium invaded her body, and Pei Shu's flames immediately wrapped around her, but had already grown into her brain. Then her limbs moved uncontrollably, and she appeared behind Zhu Ning with a knife raised.

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't describe the feeling to others. His soul was still in the body, but his body was taken over by mycelium. The thing he feared most had happened.

Lin Xiaofeng was powerless to stop it and could only try her best to make her body appear. She fought against the power of Prometheus. As long as she was no longer transparent, Zhu Ning and Pei Shu would be able to see her.

But it was too late. She was controlled to kill Pei Shu for the second time, and was pushed away by Zhu Ning's consciousness. Then she lost her ability to move.

Until she heard Zhu Ning calling her. Zhu Ning's voice was anxious and tearful. Lin Xiaofeng wanted to respond but couldn't make a sound. Her leg was broken.

Lin Xiaofeng listened to Zhu Ning's voice getting farther and farther away. She couldn't move in the corner. She was trying hard to make her body visible so that Zhu Ning could see her.

But she was already seriously injured, and soon her vision went black, blood flowed out of her mouth, and she immediately lost consciousness.

Before she completely passed out, her last thought was to try her best to let Zhu Ning see it.

When she woke up, she was surrounded by minced meat and countless ashes. All the evidence showed that there had been a big fire here and the mycelium of Prometheus had long turned to ashes.

She tore off the mycelium on her body. The mycelium that was originally deeply embedded in her brain had lost its vitality and hung limply. After Lin Xiaofeng tore it off, she didn't know whether she was affected by the remnants of Prometheus.

She didn't have time to think too much. The most urgent thing was to find other teammates. Lin Xiaofeng dragged her injured leg and walked slowly, shouting as she walked, but no one responded to her shouting, and she could not find any trace of Bai Cheng and Pei Shu.

The contaminated spores around disappeared. Lin Xiaofeng stood on the giant's bone marrow, hesitating whether to go forward or backward. If he returned to the original route, was there any other way to go?

Lin Xiaofeng felt that the other teammates might have died, because as long as Zhu Ning was still alive, they would not ignore her.

She walked for a long time, and strangely, she didn't see a single contaminated spore on this road, and the flowing black substance seemed to be distorted.

Finally, Lin Xiaofeng stopped and saw a huge deep pit. Zhu Ning's body was lying at the bottom of the pit. There was no one there, only a giant made of black mucus.

Her first reaction was to run away. Facing a creature like that, any normal person would feel a surge of fear. But after hesitating for only a second, she immediately ran towards Zhu Ning.

Lin Xiaofeng fell down the slope. The black giant looked at her with interest. Lin Xiaofeng did not retreat, thinking that she was going to kill her. She stood in front of Zhu Ning with one limping leg, her back arched like a little beast with its fur standing on end.

The black giant just looked down at her, as if wondering what she was.

In the end, she seemed to be tired of it and was too lazy to confront a little thing like Lin Xiaofeng, or maybe she had finally digested and absorbed it, and slowly retracted it onto Zhu Ning's spine.

Lin Xiaofeng's face was pale, and she had no idea that she was not in a transparent form. The giant was just looking at her, and all her attention was on Zhu Ning.

It is difficult to describe what Zhu Ning had experienced. There was no intact part of her skin, and the cracks in her spine allowed the bones to be clearly seen. The flames and black mucus on the bones merged like two entwined sequences.

Zhu Ning frowned, as if he was in great pain.

Lin Xiaofeng tried to touch Zhu Ning, but his body was burning hot, just like when Pei Shu had an attack before.

She had no choice but to keep a certain distance and look around. She could not find any pollutants, but she could tell from the outline that there had once been a huge creature here. After the heart was devoured, only the outlines of the left and right atria were left. There were two roads unfolding before her eyes, one up and the other down.

Pei Shu taught her how to leave the contaminated area, but Lin Xiaofeng couldn't guess which way was right and which one Zhu Yao took.

It was quiet underground. Lin Xiaofeng was a little scared. She stayed by Zhu Ning's side and saw Zhu Ning crying in her sleep. The tears evaporated as soon as they fell. The pain she suffered seemed endless.

Lin Xiaofeng waited quietly. She didn't know how long it had been, probably the next day. Even if she was naive, she could guess that Pei Shu and Bai Cheng were dead. Those burnt marks turned out to be corpses, and Lin Xiaofeng couldn't even tell which part was her teammates' ashes, and she couldn't collect the bones.

No one survived underground except himself, and Lin Xiaofeng cried bitterly underground.

Later, Zhu Ning's body temperature slowly returned to normal, but this time Zhu Ning was no longer crying, but was laughing instead, as if she was deeply in a sweet dream.

Lin Xiaofeng rarely saw such a smile on Zhu Ning's face. It seemed... very happy.

Lin Xiaofeng tried to call her, "Zhu Ning?"

After Lin Xiaofeng opened her mouth, her throat rolled and the sadness that had been suppressed for a long time seemed to crack. The more she shouted, the more anxious she became. She always felt that Zhu Ning would not wake up and would not see her.

Her crying stopped for a moment, and Zhu Ning opened her eyes. Lin Xiaofeng could no longer hold back, and fell on her and burst into tears, with tears falling down, without any reason.

Lin Xiaofeng cried for a long time, then she felt a weak hand on her head, and Zhu Ning's hoarse voice came: "Don't... cry..."
