Chapter 39 Chapter 39 The weather is extremely hot, but the air...

It was an extremely hot day, but a rare group of rain clouds gathered in the air, floating there eerily, but with no sign of rain. Late at night, crackling sounds hit the ground, waking up Si Qi who was sleeping soundly.

She stood up, feeling the fatigue coming from deep within her body. On the other side of the bed, Si Ruxu slowly opened her eyes, listened to Si Qi's heavy breathing, lowered her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a hint of moisture appeared in her eyes.

Si Qi squatted down and saw some ice chips from the cracks in the earth wall. He spread out his palms and let the ice melt in his palms.

Hail fell in the extremely hot weather, which had never happened in more than two years. Si Qi could hardly feel the fluctuations of supernatural power in the air.

Her health seemed to be getting better, but also getting worse. She wasn't sleeping as long, and wasn't sleeping as deeply, but she was slowly losing control of her supernatural powers, letting them remain hidden within her.

Is it time to start the third major crackdown?

Si Qi thought.

There was already a hint of chill in the air. She climbed back onto the bed and covered herself and Si Ruxu with the thin blanket beside the bed. Several energy cores emitted faint light.

In the dim light, Si Ruxu turned over gently, as if she was still asleep, and moved herself close to Si Qi. As she wished, she could feel her body temperature, but she frowned slightly because she felt cold.

She quietly hugged Si Qi again and brought her close to her with her warm body temperature.

Si Qi did not expose Si Ruxu's little thoughts, but just turned over and found a comfortable position. Sleepiness quickly came over her. Before falling asleep, she seemed to feel Si Ruxu putting his hand on her waist, and the gentle breath wrapped her all over.

When she woke up the next day, the hail from last night had been completely evaporated by the weather. The sound from last night seemed like her illusion, if she ignored the hand she placed on Si Ruxu's waist.

She felt the soft touch of her palm and gently took her hand away from Si Ruxu's waist. The woman's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake up.

Si Qi did not dodge, but looked straight into her eyes until he saw the mist in her eyes that showed she had just woken up. Then he stood up and pulled Si Ruxu, who was not yet fully awake, back into her arms.

Si Qi threw himself on her, and Si Ruxu's furry head rubbed her neck gently, bringing a slight tingling sensation.

"Nothing's wrong anyway, can you sleep a little longer?"

The tone of voice was coquettish, just like every weekend before, but this time Si Qi shook his head gently.

"I don't want to sleep anymore. I want to go out and take a look."

Si Ruxu's hazy eyes suddenly cleared up, "Where are we going?"

The weather outside is not suitable for going out. It hailed last night, so it is not so hot for the time being. However, as soon as it is past noon, the ground is still as hot as if it had been burned by fire.

It was only the fourth day, and the cave they lived in was already starting to dry out. They had enough water, not only for drinking but also for wiping their bodies at night, so it wasn't that sticky.

Living well is one thing, but being able to go out is another.

"Go find Luo Fenghe."

There was a hint of complexity in Si Qi's eyes, and this emotion was caught in Si Ruxu's eyes, and her fingers clenched unconsciously.

She saw at that time that so many people were besieging Si Qi, and except Luo Fenghe, no one helped her, including herself.

At that time, Luo Fenghe and Si Qi broke the French window and jumped down without hesitation. Luo Fenghe carried Si Qi on his back and fled while dodging attacks. When Si Ruxu arrived, Si Qi had used his last strength to teleport Luo Fenghe away.

Even though she knew there was nothing going on between the two of them, she couldn't help but feel bitter.

"Do we have to go?" Si Ruxu's tone was not gentle, but not impatient either. It was just indifferent. She lowered her head to take the nutrient solution from the space.

This is what they have been eating these days. The weather is too hot and there is no food, so they just keep their bodies basically energetic. Besides, Si Qi is taking good care of his body, and the nutrient solution avoids some dietary restrictions.

Si Qi looked at Si Ruxu. She and Si Ruxu had been in love for so many years, and she was already familiar with the changes in her tone. When Si Ruxu was in a good mood, the end of her voice would be slightly raised, with a little bit of coquettishness.

When he was in a normal mood, his voice was soft when he faced her, but it lacked energy. Only when he was in a very bad mood would he have this bland tone.

Don’t you want her to find Luo Fenghe?

Si Qi nodded and said, "I must go."

There was something, but Si Ruxu didn't ask what it was, so she didn't want to say it.

Si Ruxu seemed nonchalant, but in fact the nutrient solution was almost squeezed onto the table. She quickly withdrew her hand, sealed the bag in her hand, and placed the disposable lunch bag on the table in front of Si Qi.

She bit her lip gently, "But your body... even if the weather is perfectly fine now, you can't stand going out."

Si Qi nodded thoughtfully, "Then open the door and wait for him to come to us."

"Are you so sure he will come?" Si Ruxu couldn't explain how she felt. It was sour, and an imperceptible panic spread from her heart. She lowered her eyes, and her soft hair fell to her waist.

"I'm not sure if it will be tonight, but he will definitely come." Si Qi's tongue tip touched the canine tooth in her mouth, and a stinging sensation came from the tip of her tongue. She turned her bracelet over and tapped it gently, and a chip fell out.

Si Ruxu recognized this type of chip; it was used for location tracking and was easily damaged, but it could pinpoint a person's location to within three meters. It was the same chip she had installed in Si Qi.

Si Qi knew it, but she acquiesced to Luo Fenghe's chip. At this moment, she saw Si Qi holding the chip and observing it for a long time, and then crushed it.

Si Qi smiled faintly: "Now, she will definitely come."

Originally, she didn't plan to let Luo Fenghe come over, but the siege by other psychics last night and the hail this morning must have caused some unexpected events that she and Si Ruxu didn't know about, so she needed to find Luo Fenghe and ask clearly.

Let’s do another calculation, for example, why did he tell those people with special abilities about his location.

The whole day passed in silence. Si Ruxu would occasionally feed Si Qi some water to maintain his moisture, while Si Qi kept feeling and trying to regain control of the supernatural powers in his body.

At night, Si Ruxu injected some healing power into Si Qi's body. The other internal injuries in his body had been completely healed by her power and Si Qi's own second power.

However, the two different superpowers were still fighting for something, destroying Si Qi's heart meridians.

Si Ruxu's healing ability continued to explore, and suddenly, she felt another different power, surrounded by the power in Si Qi's own body and the power absorbed by Scarface.

That different force had no attack power, it just stayed there quietly, curled up into a small ball. Si Ruxu carefully probed into it and found that this small ball of force blocked the fusion of the other two energies in Si Qi's body.

She tried to get closer to that ball of power, but as soon as she did, a huge sense of sorrow and rejection swept over her body, and the feeling of drowning surged over her, almost swallowing her up.

At this time, Si Qi gently pushed Si Ruxu's body away. Her dark eyes looked at Si Ruxu's unfocused pupils and shook her until Si Ruxu's eyes turned and looked at her. Si Qi let go of her hand.

The hair on Si Ruxu's forehead was soaked, not because of the heat, but more like she was trapped in some kind of nightmare.

"What happened?" Si Qi could feel that a very gloomy mood had just enveloped her, but she was not greatly affected.

However, her emotions seemed to be shared with Si Ruxu. After Si Ruxu woke up, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes and he refused to look at her.

Si Ruxu is not stupid, she is very smart.

Si Qi can easily digest the gray emotions that he can't stand, and can also wake himself up.

She wasn't even sure whether the mass of stuff had any emotional impact on Si Qi, or rather, it was a microcosm of Si Qi's emotions.

"There are three powers in your body: your own, Scarface's, and a very small one. I don't know where it came from, but this one is hiding in your heart meridian, isolating the fusion of the two powers in your body."

Si Qi pursed her lips. She probably knew where the energy of her heart came from.

It should have been left by the little zombie that suddenly appeared in front of her.

So if she wanted to regain control of her superpowers, she had to get rid of the energy of the little zombie in her heart first.

Si Qi was not in a hurry. She felt like a puppet, slowly uncovering the truth of the world under His guidance.

She no longer has the right to choose and fight for herself.

Si Ruxu exhaled softly, hiding the emotions that were almost uncontrollable in her eyes, until footsteps were heard outside, the earth wall was pushed open again, and the supernatural power of metal condensed in the air.

A man in a special isolation suit emerged from the dust with a slender shadow.

"Long time no see, Si Ruxu." Luo Fenghe curled his lips slightly and greeted Si Ruxu in a good mood, but his eyes did not linger on her for long, but fell steadily on Si Qi.

Si Qi stepped forward and said, "The isolation suit is nice."

"I'll give you two sets someday."

"Thank you." Si Qi curved his eyes.

The surroundings fell into silence again, and Si Qi's fingertips unconsciously tapped his clothes.

"Whatever you want to ask, just ask quickly. I need to be back before dawn, lest those old bones see that I'm not here and start causing trouble again."

"Why did you reveal our location information to those people?" Si Qi's eyes dimmed. What was Luo Fenghe testing? Was he testing whether she was still alive or Si Ruxu's ability.

"It's simple. I thought Si Ruxu was kidnapping you. After all, she and Si Luoheng almost killed you before." Luo Fenghe's tone was not aggressive, but there was a strong sarcasm in his eyes, directed only at Si Ruxu.

"So I told them your location. Once they and Si Ruxu are both defeated, I will take you away."

Time is limited and it is already late at night. Si Qi has no time to reminisce with Luo Fenghe. She didn't even think much about what Luo Fenghe said.

"Second question, was it hail last night? What happened that caused so many psychics to come and snatch my psychic core to enhance their own strength, even at the cost of their superior, Ruxu?"

The author has something to say: It’s like this, if you see a reader replying to your comments in the comment section very familiarly, then I must have been on the wrong page [explosive crying][explosive crying][explosive crying]

Here are the responses

That's right, our apocalypse is unlike any other! Really! The current timeline is the second year of the apocalypse, and everyone has experienced the loss of their pre-apocalyptic home. So, imagine this: a gentle person, would she want to linger in the apocalypse, or would she want to save the home she'd lived in for so long and restore it to its former self? Would she want to become a mercenary walking corpse amidst a land littered with corpses, the wailing of ordinary people, and the grotesque? Or would she want to hold fast to her heart and refuse to bend? Just like in China at the time, some were wealthy, with enough wealth to live comfortably in this scorched earth, yet they still took risks, one after another, building a wall with their own lives. I believe our ancestors already answered the question of what people should do after the apocalypse, decades ago. It should be to save, to use all means, even at the cost of life, even at the cost of small things. Who wouldn't love the land that gave them life? So, after Si Ruxu became powerful, he wanted to end the apocalypse, and so did Si Qi. Si Qi was exploited, but the people who exploited her were allies, people with a common goal. So she doesn't harbor resentment. I admit that my writing is a bit too grandiose, and the comments section often features voices like "The end of the world should be a time of burning, killing, and looting." So, I'll just address them all. Thank you for your comments! [Sprinkle flowers][Sprinkle flowers]
