Chapter 163 Don’t you want to live anymore?

Yan Chu broke the blade in his hand expressionlessly.

"Why, you don't want to live anymore?"

Ji Liang's shoulders trembled slightly, and he lowered his head in bitterness. The tangled hair on his forehead cast a heavy shadow on his pale face. "Only when I die... can I atone for the sins of those innocent people I killed."

"Do you think you can atone for your sins by dying?"

Yan Chu said coldly: "I have seen too many people who want to die. Death is not easy, everyone can die, but living requires courage."

Ji Liang turned his face away as if to avoid it.

"You're right... I, I really am a coward, so you'd better leave me alone..."

Yan Chu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she grabbed Ji Liang's wrist with such force that it hurt him.

"Many people in this world have no special abilities and no fighting ability, but they still want to survive and find a safe place to stay. And you, sitting in a safe base, only want to die?"

There was suppressed anger in her voice, and her nails almost dug into his flesh.

"I'm not telling you the truth so you can die with me."

Ever since she was thrown into this strange apocalypse after the car accident, she has been stuck in deadlocks countless times and had no way out countless times.

When she was surrounded by a swarm of zombies, plotted against by her companions, and faced with certain death, she never thought of giving up.

She went from being a pampered young lady to fighting her way through a sea of ​​blood and corpses, and finally became the independent base commander she is today.

She walked this path step by step on her own.

Ji Liang stared at her light brown eyes, so pure and clear, full of dazzling vitality.

It was completely different from his eyes, which were dry, gray and colorless.

He sighed softly, his voice hoarse: "You can say whatever you want, people are different."

Yan Chu stared at him silently for a moment, then let him go. Then he moved his hand, and a translucent, glowing crystal core appeared in his palm.

"Do you know what this is?" she asked.

Ji Liang took a quick look and replied without much interest, "Judging from its size, it should be the crystal core of a level three zombie."

Yan Chu shook his head and said word by word: "This is Yuan Lin's crystal core."

Ji Liang's pupils shrank, and he stood up suddenly, looking at the crystal core in her hand in shock.

Is this...Yuan Lin's...?

Yan Chu's eyes narrowed slightly: "Have you forgotten, I killed the monster in the tomorrow base, and this is the crystal core that fell from his body."

Ji Liang frowned: "But Yuan Lin is only a D-level psychic, how can his crystal core be so big?"

Yan Chu shook his head: "I don't know about that. I know nothing about scientific research."

Ji Liang pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but say, "Can you let me study that crystal core?"

Yan Chu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Don't want to die again?"

Ji Liang: “…”

Yan Chu smiled and stuffed the crystal core in his hand into his hand and said, "I'm just kidding. Here it is for you, but you have to help me figure out what's going on with He Fan."

Ji Liang hesitated: "But..."

"Even if you have to die, wait until this is done before you die," Yan Chu glanced at him coldly, "When the time comes, I will personally choose a good feng shui grave for you."

Ji Liang was suddenly speechless.

“…Okay, I understand.”

Until Yan Chu left, Ji Liang held the crystal core in his hand and felt it was extremely heavy.

It seems that it is not just a simple weight, but there is something else added on it.

Ji Liang suddenly clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms.

A sinner like him will not even leave behind such a crystal core after his death, but only an unmanageable mess.

At least... at least I have to finish this mess myself.

**

He Fan was sitting in the room in a daze.

For some reason, ever since he met Yan Chu, strange voices always sounded in his head.

Phrases like "kill her" or "take her back".

He Fan felt very annoyed.

He was completely unable to block out the voices in his head. Those voices kept ringing all the time, giving him a splitting headache and making him increasingly irritable.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

He Fan raised his head and looked towards the door of the room.

During this period of time, only Su Su would come to see him every day, and it was around this time.

He just felt annoyed at first, but now, he is looking forward to Su Su's arrival more and more.

This was the only moment of the day when he felt at peace.

He Fan couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and responded casually: "Come in."

There was no response from outside the house.

He couldn't help but frown. Why did he have to go and open the door specifically?

...Forget it, just open it.

He Fan stood up and walked to the door, pressed the door handle and opened the door. However, the person standing outside was not Su Shu, but a man with almost gray hair.

He Fan inexplicably felt that the person in front of him seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

When the man saw his face, his expression suddenly changed: "You...you are He Fan?"

He Fan actually didn't like this name, but everyone around him liked to call him that, so after a long time, he had no choice but to compromise.

"Yeah, who are you?" He Fan responded impatiently.

The man staggered back as if he had seen a ghost, then turned and ran, almost tripping over his own trouser legs.

He Fan looked coldly at his fleeing back, sneered and was about to close the door when suddenly a sweet female voice came from the end of the corridor.

"He Fan!"

Su Su came running from the corridor, her long hair tied into a ponytail bouncing happily behind her head.

She held up the paper box in her hand, her smile sweeter than the cake inside: "I brought some super delicious strawberry cake today!"

He Fan's heart softened, and a smile flashed across his eyes.

Soon, his face returned to an expressionless and indifferent look.

"Boring, who wants to eat cupcakes?"

Su Su still had a smile on her face as she opened the paper box in her hand, revealing the cute little cakes inside. The pink cream of each cake was dotted with bright red strawberries.

"This is what Yan Chu gave me. It's super delicious, so I want you to try it too~"

The name "Yan Chu" was like a sharp knife, piercing He Fan's solar plexus fiercely at that moment!

Those dormant voices suddenly boiled over and turned into sharp howls in his mind!

He Fan's eyes went dark, and he violently shook off Su Shu's hand in severe pain.

The exquisite cake box drew an arc in the air and fell heavily to the ground. The originally bright and beautiful little cakes inside rolled all over the ground and mixed into a pool of colorful cream.

The bright red strawberries fell on the dark floor, like a shocking pool of blood.

Su Su's hand remained in the extended position, frozen in place.
