Chapter 58 Chapter 58 She didn't want to notice Si Ruxu with her hidden...

Guan Xuan covered her mouth exaggeratedly. After a few breaths, she let out a crisp laugh: "I thought everyone inside knew what was going on outside."

Si Qi silently used her special ability, and blood-red, strange lines slowly climbed up around her eyes, and it seemed as if a drop of bright red blood had dripped into her originally dark eyes.

Guan Xuan leaned forward slightly, and her slender fingers gently stroked the red spot around her eyes. Si Qi stood there in a daze, his breathing so irregular that he couldn't find his composure.

"Huh? Isn't your ability to deprive the surrounding energy?" Guan Xuan was very close to Si Qi. She blinked in confusion, and her thick eyelashes were like a feather, passing across Si Qi's eyelids. Si Qi lowered his eyes, trying to cover up the itch in his heart.

"I thought... this place would be full of zombies." Si Qi's voice was a little dark, but still tentative. The girl in front of him didn't look aggressive, but her appearance here seemed particularly abrupt.

"There are indeed zombies everywhere here." There was some doubt in Guan Xuan's clear eyes, as if asking whether Si Qi was pretending not to understand or really didn't understand.

Si Qi's heart sank. It seemed that all the people who had come in before should be dead.

"But on our side, the zombies don't look like this." Si Qi thought for a moment, then used a branch to draw a hideous little man on the ground.

Then she observed it carefully and found that they were not very similar, but they were similar in spirit.

Guan Xuan's smile faltered slightly, and she used a branch to smear out the ugly little man Si Qi had drawn: "How can a zombie be so ugly?"

"Even at the beginning, a first-level zombie that hasn't evolved wouldn't be that ugly. Yours looks like it's sick and rotten."

Three question marks slowly appeared on Si Qi's head: "Is it sick? Is it rotten?"

"Aside from the fact that the zombies are the wrong color and they like to bite people randomly when they're at the first stage, everything else is fine. However, if they get infected with a virus, they'll rot, move slower and slower, lose their self-awareness, and stop advancing."

"You must have come from the other side. Your side has the most viruses, and no zombies dare to go there."

Si Qi felt his face a little stiff, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She probably understood.

The zombies here have also tried to enter the human area, but those who have entered have never come back, and the humans who have entered the zombie territory have never returned, so both sides are wary of the other side, and that is why they have lived in peace for so many years.

"So... you're a zombie? Have you ever seen a human like me?"

Guan Xuan has no tendency to actively attack humans. Since zombies have consciousness and can think independently, they will not necessarily kill humans on sight. After all, the apocalypse has only been going on for three years, and they have not been zombies for long.

Who dealt with the mutant who came over?

Or did they do something?

Guan Xuan supported her chin with one hand, as if she was recalling something. After a long time, she turned her head slightly.

"I haven't been a high-level zombie for long. I heard from other zombies that when those people came in, they started yelling and killing our low-level friends. They even dug out their crystal cores and absorbed them. That's why we were killed by the high-level zombies at that time."

Si Qi nodded thoughtfully.

After all, who would tolerate a group of people who break into other people's territory and kill and rob?

Guan Xuan stirred the purple soup a few more times, took out a wooden bowl from behind, filled herself with a bowl first, and then blinked at Si Qi embarrassedly.

"I only have one bowl. Can you wait until I finish drinking before you drink? I'm afraid you've brought the virus over there..."

Si Qi: ...

What an honest girl. However, Si Qi looked at the dark purple soup in the pot and shook his head slowly: "I don't like soup."

When Guan Xuan heard Si Qi's words, her already bright eyebrows curved even more, and it looked like she didn't want to share.

Si Qi sat next to Guan Xuan. There was a dense forest at the foot of the hill. The stream was like a blue strip across the opposite bank, and no one knew where it flowed to.

But there were no bird nests in the trees, and the stream was so clear that not a trace of impurities could be seen.

There was no breath of any living thing here, including the girl in front of him, she was not breathing.

"Do you have zombie wolves here?"

"No."

"Where are the zombie sheep?"

Guan Xuan finished the whole pot of soup. She wiped the dark red soup stains from the corners of her mouth. Her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, but she just squinted her eyes in satisfaction, looking in a good mood.

"There are only zombies and humans here. At the beginning of the apocalypse, everyone was mad and ate whatever they saw. The surrounding animals were eaten to extinction long ago."

Si Qi clenched his hands slightly in his pockets, then loosened them and opened the only pack of biscuits in his pocket. The corner of his eyes fell on Guan Xuan's eyes, which seemed to be nailed to them.

Si Qi glanced over casually, then looked at her with a hint of surprise: "Are you... still hungry?"

Hearing this, Guan Xuan quietly covered her slightly bulging belly and nodded sheepishly: "A little bit."

Si Qi curled his lips and gave her half of the biscuit.

After a few breaths, Si Qi looked at the girl in front of him who was chewing like a hamster, and completely reduced her danger to zero.

She really just wanted a bite to eat.

Even if she is dead, she is not a big threat.

"Actually, I don't need to eat." Si Qi stopped chewing the biscuit and looked at the girl beside him.

She gently curved her lips, and a soft light fell from her eyes. "As you guessed, I'm already dead. I eat only because I want to. I don't feel full, nor do I feel hungry."

She was clearly smiling, but for some reason, Si Qi felt a sour feeling in his heart.

"If the end of the world ends, will you still exist?" Si Qi lowered his head and did not look into Guan Xuan's eyes.

It was so weird. Si Qi didn't know what was keeping Guan Xuan alive. If the apocalypse ended and this inexplicable magnetic field disappeared, what would the zombies do?

So, if the current boundaries here are maintained and zombies and humans continue to not interfere with each other, one of them will still disappear from the world.

Guan Xuan's eyes were filled with suspicion. "You call this the apocalypse? Actually, I think life is pretty good, except for the fact that I've become a different species."

Si Qi paused, unable to find any words to refute.

Indeed, the sunshine here is very good, the flowers and trees are also very good, there are no mutated plants, the sky is very blue, the water is very clear, the air is not flowing, there is no extreme cold or heat, mountain landslides and struggles for survival resources.

This space, like the people within it, is dead. It lacks the ebb and flow of tides, and communities no longer naturally evolve. Like the people within this land, it remains eternally in a state of stillness.

How is this not the end of the world?

…

"What did you say? Si Qi followed my scent and went outside the circle?" Luo Fenghe's voice in the bracelet suddenly became very high. "Her sense of smell is disordered. My base is a million miles away from the outside circle. Didn't she feel something was wrong on the way?"

"It's too dark, I can't see clearly." Si Ruxu's voice was forced calm.

"I'll go outside the circle to find Si Qi. If I'm not back before dawn, come find Luo Heng. I'll leave her a message, asking her to follow my plan. The apocalypse will end."

"What about you?"

Luo Fenghe subconsciously and impatiently uttered a word.

"I will try my best to bring her back before the end of the world." Si Ruxu's fingers fell on the table, and the knuckles of her fingers turned white from the force.

She has been outside the circle.

There was clearly only a pile of broken meat and a single complete skeleton.

…

"What are you doing here? I thought people from your side would never think of coming out of the circle in their lifetime." After Guan Xuan finished her meal, she sat on a rock and swung her feet.

"I came to find my friend, I felt he was here."

"Hmm?" Guan Xuan tilted her head. "No one has been here for a long time. You must be mistaken."

Her tone was relaxed. She glanced at Si Qi from head to toe for a moment, then let out a meaningless laugh from her throat: "But since you've come in, you probably can't get out."

Si Qi's originally relaxed expression suddenly became tense because of these words. Her eyes fell on the beautiful face of the girl beside her, and she said stiffly: "What... do you mean?"

"Literally. Haven't you died before? People who have died can't go back. If they do, they will turn into ashes."

"Didn't you notice that after you came in, the wounds on your body didn't hurt anymore?"

Si Qi was slightly stunned, and subconsciously pressed the wound on his abdomen. Indeed... it didn't hurt anymore, and it didn't bleed anymore, but it hadn't healed. It was like it was frozen in a certain state.

"But it's actually good for you to be like this. While you're still in good health, you can still move around. I can only sit here." Guan Xuan said some meaningless words to herself.

Si Qi's eyes were reluctant to leave her.

What is...while you are still in good health.

"Do you have any relatives or friends? What about the other zombies here?"

Si Qi vaguely sensed that something was wrong. She stood up and looked deeper. The color difference between the two sides was very obvious. If the side of the psychic was slightly dark, then the deeper part of this place was pitch black with no end in sight.

Why didn't she see it just now?

An inexplicable chill rose from my back, making my spine tingle.

"Relatives and friends, all are here. I don't live with other zombies. They are on the other side." As soon as the words fell, a huge stench rushed into Si Qi's nostrils, and she almost vomited on the spot.

Guan Xuan seemed to have smelled the scent as well and gently patted Si Qi's shoulder.

"I... my energy is a little bit insufficient to sustain this side. You just live for two hours first, and everything will be fine after two hours..." Si Qi stared and saw that the flesh and blood on the hands on her body had faded away, leaving only white bones.

The darkness over there surged towards this side. Si Qi's feet felt numb, and her eyes were fixed on the bones of a person wearing a tattered school uniform sitting on the stone, and on the sticky, minced meat on the ground.

She's not a zombie at all.

She is the only real living dead here.

Si Qi's bracelet suddenly emitted a red alarm. She raised her hand, but there was still no signal on the bracelet, but it seemed as if some device was forced to activate.

Si Qi wondered if she should escape into the thick fog at this time, but when she used her movement ability, she felt a tearing pain in the wound on her abdomen.

She came back to life.

Her vision was getting darker and darker, and a ray of light from far away was running towards her. Si Qi knelt on the ground, and the supernatural power she had just used was raging in her body again, tearing her body apart and healing her wounds at the same time.

Until a corner of a light-colored windbreaker appeared in sight.

The familiar fragrance enveloped her, and the woman's breathing was still panting. He bent down, picked her up from the hunched over ground, and ran back without stopping.

"Si Qi, don't be afraid, I will take you out."

It’s Si Ruxu.

In the extreme pain, Si Qi's stiff and sluggish brain slowly began to work.

Si Ruxu, why is she here? Will she also run out of the circle like this?

The road was a bit bumpy and she took a breath in pain. The intense pain made her numb brain clear again.

Probably because she is a very important part of Si Ruxu's plan and cannot die.

But it still hurt, as if her heart was being peeled off layer by layer. She lowered her head and buried it in Si Ruxu's neck, leaving behind her moist breath.

Si Ruxu is favored. Wherever she is, even the mist seems to dissipate, pointing out the right path, a way to survive.

"Si Ruxu." Si Qi's voice was very soft, with a hint of imperceptible patience.

Si Ruxu's heart tightened, and as she ran into the fog, she kept an eye on her back. She could feel the wet spot on her waist, and the hot breath on the back of her neck was accompanied by a thick bloody smell.

So crazy.

On one side is the changing world, on the other side is her dying lover. She is like a torn person, praying for Si Qi to survive, while trying to find a way to survive for everyone in the end times.

"Si Ruxu, you've always been lucky, haven't you?" Si Qi's voice was weak and heavy with sleepiness. It was a sign of excessive blood loss.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have let you buy a lottery ticket every day. It would be better than those years of squeezing in a small rental house." Si Qi was still joking.

She no longer cared about her own life or death.

Si Ruxu knew that Si Qi had always had bad luck.

The God of Luck has never favored her, but she always wants to give it a try, such as praying to the sky before drawing a card, or waiting with bright eyes for the prizes worth more than ten dollars during shopping mall activities.

In fact, she never got one. When asked, she would always smile and say that she just wanted to try it out and got into the first foreign high school.

Sometimes, Si Ruxu would ask her, "Don't you feel bad when you don't win?" But Si Qi was more relaxed than she'd imagined. She said, "There are many people entering the lottery, but there are only so many prizes. Not winning is the norm." So she had no regrets.

Many years later, Si Ruxu realized that Si Qi didn't have no regrets, but regrets had become a normal part of her life. She had never received anything, so she wasn't afraid of the "thank you for your patronage" on the lottery ticket.

At that time, in order to save money to buy a house earlier, the two of them rented a very small house, but Si Qi was very good at taking care of it. She kept the house tidy, poked holes in the bottom of a plastic water bottle, and planted a few pots of grass.

Occasionally, when he came back from drinking late at night for business, he would quietly wash up, and after washing, he would get into bed and hug her.

In a room of more than ten square meters, they huddled together to keep warm.

At this time, feeling Si Qi's increasingly weak breathing, Si Ruxu suddenly remembered that many years ago, she leaned against Si Qi's forehead and felt his moist breath falling on the corner of her lips.

She was uneasy and softened her voice.

She said: "No matter what, let's stay together forever, okay?"

But they separated in the second year after moving into the big house. Si Qi packed her luggage at night. She was very quiet and wiped out all traces of herself in the house.

Including the pot of succulents in the room was also taken away, and from then on, such bright green color never appeared on Si Ruxu's table again.

Si Qi's weak voice shattered her memories and gave her a sense of being alive. She tilted her ears and listened carefully.

"Si Ruxu...if I die, will it mess up what you've been planning for so long?"

"But now, I don't want you to save me at all. I don't want to see you at all."

If she were to die tomorrow, her final wish would be for her body to be reduced to ashes along with the apocalypse. She didn't want to leave any traces here, not even her remains.

The huge group of corpses behind her gave off a rotten smell. Si Ruxu seemed tireless in the thick fog. Finally, a lamp was lit in front of her. The slender girl waved at the end and then stepped into the thick fog.

Si Luoheng was holding a lamp made of unknown material in her hand. She grabbed the corner of Si Ruxu's clothes and pulled her out of the thick fog.

Behind him, the thick fog dissipated in an instant. From inside the circle, the scenery outside was still the same as before. No one would know that it had been dead for a long time.

Luo Fenghe supported Si Ruxu, who was almost unable to stand, and reached out to take Si Qi, who had fainted from excessive blood loss, from behind Si Ruxu, but she dodged him.

"I'll just carry her on my back. Let's go to the research institute first. She hasn't just lost too much blood." Si Ruxu was rarely so impatient. She pursed her lips tightly, taking deep and shallow steps, leaving footprints on the muddy and wet ground.

Luo Fenghe looked at her shaky back and sighed softly. He tilted his head to look at Si Luoheng beside him: "Is your sister always like this?"

"I don't know." Si Luoheng had no desire to communicate with Luo Feng. He yawned and followed Si Ruxu's footsteps.

Luo Feng and Ren Ming followed, watching carefully all the way, fearing that Si Ruxu would faint and drop Si Qi.

This family is so bizarre, each one more bizarre than the other. It's a miracle that they've managed to survive until now.

only,

Luo Fenghe turned his head and glanced outside the circle behind him, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Why did Si Qi say she smelled him outside the circle? Who deliberately lured her over, and what was their purpose?

The end of the world is really a huge pit for Si Qi, with one pit after another forcing this young man to jump into.

Luo Fenghe shook his head and sighed.

Si Luoheng, who was originally very sleepy, looked at him as if he were a fool and sighed. He looked back and sighed repeatedly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Si Qi has a unique way of making friends. He looks fair and clean, but he actually has a problem with his brain.

Before dawn, they rushed to the research institute and entered the laboratory. Si Ruxu put Si Qi on the bed.

There was a faint green healing power spreading between the two of them.

Luo Fenghe was surprised and widened his eyes to express his doubt.

He could barely stand, yet he still carried the person on his back and used his special powers to heal her.

He handed a bottle of water to Si Ruxu, whose lips were pale, and the woman shook her head gently.

Then, she pressed a button with familiarity, and an air shield instantly enveloped Si Qi. Luo Fenghe knew this was used to maintain life in the event of a serious injury.

"You just said that Si Qi didn't simply faint from excessive blood loss. What does that mean?" Luo Fenghe still cared about this. He couldn't let the newly formed alliance partner die here.

If he had known earlier, he would not have conspired with that man. It wouldn't have taken much effort for him to kill Fu Jiatu himself.

"When I first saw Si Qi, she had stopped breathing." Si Ruxu pursed her lips slightly to hide the panic and fear in her eyes.

For a moment, her first thought was not even her carefully planned plan, but that she did not want anything to happen to Si Qi.

"I've been outside the circle. At that time, the superpower group in Si Qi's body was in my body, and I couldn't get in touch with it no matter what. So I thought of trying my luck outside the circle."

"The scenery outside is deceiving. Anyone who enters will die and slowly lose consciousness."

"I once personally witnessed the mutants with me slowly grow fangs and transform into zombies. That was also the first time I used that special energy. It teleported me to a skeleton."

"That skeleton seems to have some special power that keeps the zombies out, but underneath it are countless broken limbs and pieces of flesh."

Si Ruxu's already pale face became somewhat transparent when she talked about this incident. "At that time, I heard a girl's voice in my ear. She told me to walk along the thick fog ahead and I would be able to get out. She also told me not to come in again because there was nothing here that I was looking for."

There was a bit of complexity in Si Luoheng's eyes, and her gaze fell on Si Qi, who was breathing weakly.

She understood most of Si Ruxu and Si Qi's rebirth from the note Si Ruxu left behind.

She knew that her sister had a plan and that this was a big game, but she didn't expect that in the end, the only people at stake were Si Qi and her sister herself.

Luo Fenghe was not a fool. After hearing that the superpower in Si Qi's body belonged to Si Ruxu, he narrowed his eyes.

This couple is such a mess.

However, he is more familiar with Si Qi, so he will ask her after Si Qi wakes up.

The dim light from the laboratory fell on the metal wall, reflecting the calm faces of three people. They sat there, the air was quiet and there was no communication. Even Si Luoheng, who usually had a regular schedule, did not go back to sleep.

It was not until she was in the air hood that Si Qi's eyelashes trembled. Then she opened her dark eyes and glanced at the three anxious faces in front of her with some suspicion.

"You guys...? Are you crying?" Si Qi raised his hand and nodded at the cover in front of him. As expected of a research institute, it was really advanced, even the coffins were made of special glass.

"You are not dead yet." Si Luoheng opened the glass cover, folded her arms and looked at Si Qi, as if she wanted to study her mood.

Si Qi coughed lightly twice. He had too many questions, but now was obviously not a good time.

Her eyes passed over the pale Si Ruxu in front of her and fell on Luo Fenghe.

"If there's anything, we'll communicate with the research institute's bracelet in a few days. Can you take me away first?"

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, politely took off the bracelet on her hand and placed it on the table.

She didn't want to pay attention to Si Ruxu's eyes filled with hidden pain.

-----------------------

The author has something to say: [Dog head holding a rose][Dog head holding a rose][Dog head holding a rose]

Si Ruxu thought Si Qi was crazy and vengeful.

The actual Si Qi: Too lazy to think, too lazy to look, don’t want to communicate, let it be, just die.
