Chapter 38 Chapter 38 She is dead, but Si Ruxu is not...

She fell silent, patting Si Ruxu's back gently in a futile attempt to comfort her.

She didn't know what had happened to her, but perhaps it was connected to the apocalypse, or perhaps it wasn't just because she had absorbed Scarface's powers. Fear comes from the unknown; not knowing anything is why it's so easy to panic.

But unfortunately, she was determined to die.

"Don't cry, I'll be fine." The words were pale, but that was all he could say.

Si Ruxu was still sobbing, a little ball, a bit like the stray cat she had fed in high school. It was also like that, well-behaved, and would come over to lick the bruises on her arms.

Unfortunately, the cat was later killed by several little boys from the primary school next door who hit it with stones.

When she arrived, the rain was washing the kitten's body, and the dried blood was flowing on the ground again. She held the stiff kitten with an umbrella for the last time, found a deserted place, and dug a small hole.

She didn't dare put up any sign for it, for fear that someone would dig it out again out of spite, so she could only carefully and forcefully fill in the small raised mound of earth, and then watered some of the surrounding soil to make it look no different.

She held an umbrella and didn't let herself get wet, perhaps because cold medicine was expensive, or perhaps because she understood that she, like the kitten, had only one life, and if she got sick or died, it was her own business, so she had to protect herself even more.

She was like this, Xiaomao was like this, but Si Ruxu was not. She was a leader before the apocalypse, and she was not much worse after the apocalypse.

How could Si Ruxu be associated with kittens? She couldn't help laughing.

She lowered her eyes, and Si Ruxu's wet eyes were reflected in her eyes. After a long time, she finally sighed softly: "It's okay, I don't blame you."

Don't blame her for the decisive breakup, don't blame her for standing by and watching for two years in the last days, don't blame her for taking advantage of you after they met again, and don't blame her for trying to kill herself many times.

She didn't actually blame Si Ruxu at all, she just didn't care anymore. That's why she avoided Si Ruxu's belated warmth, and that's why she was annoyed by the constant attention.

After hearing these words, Si Ruxu's body trembled slightly, she was panicked, uneasy and desperate. She tightly grasped the corner of Si Qi's clothes, her face pale.

"Si Qi, please take revenge on me, please." The voice was not loud, but every word was clear.

She was not afraid that Si Qi hated her. She would rather bear all the costs, even if it meant being entangled with Si Qi as an enemy, than being separated from him.

Feeling Si Ruxu's emotional collapse, Si Qi was silent. She didn't expect that just such a sentence could make Si Ruxu so emotional.

"So, isn't our top priority now to end the mode?" Si Qi paused for a moment before speaking softly, "We can talk about this after the apocalypse is over, okay?"

There was no response to the avoidance, but Si Ruxu seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. She nodded and her emotions gradually stabilized.

After the apocalypse ends... have a good talk with Si Qi. Both conditions are not easy to achieve: to end the apocalypse, both of them must be alive.

The extreme heat continued, and Si Qi's sleep time became shorter and shorter. He occasionally had energy during the day, but it was still difficult for him to use his supernatural powers, so he still had to wear a coat.

The remaining moisture from the extreme cold in the cave had been dried up by the extreme heat. Si Ruxu felt so hot every day that she would hug Si Qi to cool him down. It was a special situation, and as long as there was nothing out of the ordinary, Si Qi would just let her do what she wanted.

Actually, this is pretty good, Si Ruxu thought, just like an ordinary wife, but it would be better if there were no bugs coming to disturb them late at night.

Si Ruxu looked at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, her eyes dark and unclear. The next moment, the earth wall that was originally standing at the door collapsed, and a group of familiar faces walked in, looking at Si Ruxu sinisterly, and their greedy eyes finally fell on Si Qi's face.

"Si Ruxu, you were once a leader among the superpowers and made great contributions to the base and the apocalypse. Now hand over Si Qi, and the base will forgive your betrayal."

Si Ruxu lowered her eyes, a cold glint in her eyes. Let bygones be bygones? They were just filthy rats, using the name of doing good for the apocalypse to profit for themselves.

"Want Si Qi?" Si Ruxu curled her lips as if she heard a joke. She was obviously angry, but there was a faint smile on her lips.

"It also depends on whether you have the ability."

Her eyes were cold. The temperature at night on a very hot day was better than during the day, but it was still nearly 40 degrees Celsius. These people were really crazy to choose to besiege at this time.

That group of people were all psychics at the same level as Si Ruxu. Even though they had heard of Si Ruxu's powerful fighting ability at the end of the world, they were not at all nervous at this time because they relied on their numbers.

The power-type superpower stepped heavily on the earth wall, leaving clear footprints on the wall, and used the force to rush towards Si Ruxu, holding a laser gun in his hand. This kind of attack has a short range but great power.

Si Ruxu dodged the moves of other psychics while looking at the laser gun. Finally, when the laser was about to be fired, he quickly took a few steps back, and his lightning ability collided with the laser.

Amid the roar of the explosion, Si Ruxu threw herself onto the bed and tightly protected the sleeping Si Qi. The aftermath of the explosion made her arms sore.

The power-type mutants on the other side were reduced to ashes before they could even scream. Those who were closer to the front and had not yet reacted were scattered all over the place.

Half of the besiegers were gone in an instant. Si Ruxu looked at the ground with disgust. In such hot weather, these pieces of meat would stink and rot in no time.

The power of thunder and lightning flowed on the ground, burning every drop of blood into ashes until the smell was gone, and then it stopped.

Si Ruxu raised her cold eyes and looked straight at the remaining group of dazed people.

"Hand over all the supplies you have, otherwise this will be the same fate for you." It was her first time doing this kind of thing, and she did it with ease and without any discomfort.

The group of psychics exchanged glances secretly. So many people had already died, and if they retreated now, they would lose everything. However, Si Ruxu was too strong, and they were unsure of the decision.

Si Ruxu naturally knew this too. She looked back and saw that Si Qi was still sleeping soundly, so she didn't rush to deal with them and waited patiently for the answer.

The mutants rely on the transformation brought by viruses, the theft of natural trace elements, or the extraction of energy from the mutant cores of zombies. This energy is impure and mixed.

Even high-level psychics, who constantly train their psychic cores, cannot break through the limit of the seventh level. However, the energy of those who are given abilities by Him is very pure. This is why Si Qi, who was at the sixth level at that time, could fight against several seventh-level psychics alone.

As Si Qi continuously replenished her body with supernatural powers, he considered her to be a part of Si Qi and gave her permission.

It is an indisputable fact that people with superpowers steal elements from the air, and the changes in her body are still under investigation. Except for Si Qi who was given energy from the beginning, both she and Luo Fenghe gained energy after their acquired superpower cores were shattered.

But no matter what the reason is, it is easy for a pure psychic to deal with a dozen virus psychics. If they don't know what's good for them, she might as well use this opportunity to establish her authority, which is better than them trying to get close to her all day long.

Purple electric current flowed slowly in the air. The leading psychic seemed to sense something was wrong and led the team to retreat.

"No, I've seen many people with lightning abilities, but I've never heard of anyone who can thread electricity through the air. Si Ruxu is in trouble, so retreat first."

A group of people took a few steps back, and the person at the back suddenly let out a scream, and a long bloody mark was burned on his back by lightning.

"All your supplies and your life, choose one." Si Ruxu smiled gently, using the same tone as Si Qi used a few months ago.

After hearing this, the group of people began to get restless again. After all, supplies were too precious, and people would never learn to give up certain things unless they were in desperate situations.

Just as Si Ruxu was about to take action, the group of people suddenly opened their eyes wide, panicked, and quickly took out crystal cores, dry food and water from their special pockets, and retreated in a circle outside.

The sky was already turning white, and soon the world would be as hot as an oven again. Whether they could successfully return to base from here in this short time depended on their strength.

Si Ruxu nonchalantly looked at the pile of things on the ground. Most of them were crystal cores, and the food and water were barely enough for the two of them to eat for half a month. She moved her mind, and the things disappeared on the spot.

I turned around to see what Si Qi was doing.

She looked up and saw a pair of dark, lifeless eyes. When her sight met, she seemed to see her helplessness reflected in Si Qi's dark eyes.

"So it's you who woke up... No wonder they ran away suddenly." Si Ruxu's voice was no longer as cold as before, but rather had a hint of softness hidden in it.

It is a gesture of goodwill that belongs only to the one you love.

Si Qi didn't wake up for long. She only saw Si Ruxu's back. She was very thin, but in much better shape than when they first met. The lightning power flowing in the air was consciously guarding her, as if it was afraid of a fight and the aftermath of the battle would affect her.

Then her eyes met the group of people behind her. They took out various things from their pockets and ran away as if they had seen a ghost.

"Why did you run away when you saw me?" Si Qi wondered. Was she that scary?

Although she was face-blind, there was no familiar supernatural power in the air. This group of people were not the ones who besieged her and killed her, so she would not retaliate against them.

"They wanted to steal your superpower core, but when they saw you were still alive, they ran away." Si Ruxu still smiled faintly, and her eyes dimmed when she met Si Qi's pale face.

She thought that those people saw Si Qi sleeping and thought they had found Si Qi's body and were going to keep the superpower core for themselves, so they came to get a share.

But who revealed the information that she was here?

Si Ruxu gently coaxed Si Qi, who was feeling sleepy again, to sleep, his eyes looking into the distance, dim and unclear.

The author has something to say: Now it's like cutting flesh with a small knife, which is equivalent to standing by and watching or even kicking someone before falling in love. After falling in love, you feel sorry for her injuries and can only watch her breathing getting weaker day by day. Later, there will be a super big knife to torture Si, and her price is still to come [milk tea]

I just realized that I was on the seedling list, thank you everyone!!

Jinjiang frequently sends out red envelopes, which will be considered a violation. How about we do it once every Thursday, or have a lottery?

This is my first time writing, so I'm not too sensitive. I check the comments section eight hundred times a day. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to mention them directly. I'll post them to you all [scatter flowers][scatter flowers][scatter flowers]
