Chapter 62 Chapter 62 The first person she sacrificed was herself...

Si Qi narrowed her eyes slightly. There were too many suspicious points in that area, but she couldn't find a breakthrough to do anything about it.

After hesitating for a long time, she raised her eyes and looked at the person standing quietly beside her.

"Do you have any memories of being the first human?" Si Qi asked with remarkable seriousness. She wondered if Si Ruxu had any memories of that time, wouldn't even those memories be lonely and bitter?

Si Ruxu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. The energy hadn't brought back any memories; even Si Ruxu's perception of the apocalypse vanished as the energy was transferred to Si Qi.

"What was the motivation for you to set up such a big scheme? Who will be the final victim of this scheme?" Si Qi didn't know whether this question was important or not, but Si Ruxu's body paused, then he lowered his eyes lightly, hiding the emotion in his eyes.

"It's a massacre. When we died in our previous life, Luo Heng had already released information about the massacre. At that time, the energy ball in my body was irregularly agitated."

"I can't draw any energy from it, so I guess the virus Luo Heng injected into my body is repelling his energy."

"In the zombie swarm, my superpowers were exhausted, and that ball of energy slowly awakened. But if I used this ball of superpowers to survive, as soon as the energy in my body recovered even a little bit, this ball of energy would fall dormant again."

"So, I transferred it into Si Qi's body." As Si Ruxu spoke, her fingertips unconsciously pinched the corner of the table, squeezing so hard that her knuckles turned white.

"I wasn't sure if this energy could bring Si Qi back to life, nor was I sure if I would survive. At that time, I had no other choice."

She is gambling.

She didn't know whether Si Qi could survive, and she didn't know whether she could survive. She was just taking a gamble on that one chance.

What she didn't expect was that this energy made both her and Si Qi go back to the past. In fact, the time she went back was much longer than Si Qi's.

So she took the lead over Si Qi and set up a tight net, using everything she could, including herself, to lure her into the game.

Si Qi already knew most of this, but now she was given some additional details. She wasn't surprised, but she seemed to have underestimated Si Ruxu's obsession with the apocalypse.

The first step in the chess game she set was to sacrifice her own life.

"I don't know how many people will die in this plan, but right now, the most vulnerable are you and me."

In other words, she tried her best to ensure the safety of everyone except Si Qi and herself.

"What about those who died in the massacre?"

"They will be clean and live again as ordinary people."

"How do you know?"

"Remember what you told me before? Every time a catastrophe is over, those who died in it will be resurrected. Similarly, those who died in the massacre will be resurrected. The world operates according to living things. Gods also need the development of living things to gain energy."

Si Qi tried hard to digest this; she understood. In other words, she and Si Ruxu were the only two people most likely to die, the kind who couldn't survive.

"What if the apocalypse doesn't end?"

"Then we'll all disappear together."

Come alive and disappear together.

What does it mean to disappear? Every trace of the existence of every person in the world, the civilization they were so proud of, the smell of the sun and soil, the sound of the stream, the wind and rain, the lightning and thunder, all of these are as if they had never existed.

Si Qi looked at Si Ruxu, breathing shallowly, as if the whole world was still except them.

"Si Ruxu, this burden is too heavy."

It is so serious that if you are not careful, you will become a sinner to the whole world.

"If I pick it up, and if I put it down safely, will my mother remember me when she comes back to life?"

Si Ruxu suppressed the bitterness in her heart, trying not to seem overwhelmed by her emotions. Her chest rose and fell in a chaotic manner.

"Si Qi, if you're still alive, we can reunite together."

Hearing her words, Si Qi smiled faintly, as if relieved: "Reunion..."

She seemed unable to hate Si Ruxu anymore, but she didn't want to love her either.

"Then I wish you happiness, peace and a long life." Si Qi's eyes curved, showing a long-lost tenderness, but it left a little sourness in Si Ruxu's heart.

The problem was over, but the sky curtain was still there. Luo Feng and Silent did not let them continue.

It seems that what He wants them to know is still to come.

It was a tense evacuation, but it had little to do with them. Others were busy.

Si Qi lay on the balcony and watched the people who were willing to come to the base enter the base in an orderly manner with a long line of cars and people. Most of them were people with special abilities, and very few ordinary people.

The ordinary people in each base were almost all pale and thin, and were on the verge of collapse. They were dragged to Area A by Luo Feng and the people in the base, and were arranged with accommodation and living security.

If these ordinary people were allowed to continue following the original base, they would probably all starve to death.

"There are three bases that have come here. Apart from the one that likes having children, there is another base that hasn't moved in yet. It seems they want to handle it on their own." Luo Fenghe took off his coat and hung it at the door. He was sweating when he walked in.

"Sit on the chair." Si Qi spoke and used his spatial ability to stop Luo Fenghe who was about to sit on the sofa.

"Huh? Please, this is my home." Luo Fenghe moved and complained a few words after sitting on the chair.

"Um."

Luo Fenghe would come here every day, coming quickly and leaving quickly. Rather than reporting the situation to them, it was more like finding some comfort for himself.

"Are there any plans for the future?" Si Qi asked symbolically.

"You're right, it really is." Luo Fenghe smiled. "It's already starting to hail at the boundary of the circle. Extreme cold is expected to arrive soon. We don't have enough manpower here at our base, and other bases are unwilling to cooperate."

"So, I want you to go and set up a place for ordinary people to live, and then... work with Si Ruxu to harvest the ripe vegetables in the fields."

"Although it's not much, who knows what will happen later, it's always useful to be prepared."

Si Qi nodded, "When are we going?"

"The sooner the better."

…

The high-level psychics have been free from hunger for too long, and their neglect of food is even greater than Si Qi imagined.

Luo Fenghe couldn't even recruit a few people to help them. In the end, he had to use the name of Si Qihe Institute to find a few people.

They are scattered here and there, and are all low-level psychics.

"Those from the wood element, go collect the plants and see if those that are about to mature can be ripened prematurely. Those from the earth element, come and thicken the houses of ordinary people to achieve the best insulation effect." Si Ruxu arranged everything in an orderly manner.

She thought someone would cause trouble, but in reality, she just stood there and no one dared to meet her eyes.

She stood there helping them prepare dry food, her eyes wandering around and finally landing on Si Ruxu.

She hadn't come to see him in the past few days, but she often contacted Si Luoheng in her room. In addition to sending Si Luoheng a message every morning and evening, she spent the rest of her time waiting.

Waiting for reply.

She had lost some weight, and dark circles had appeared under her eyes without her noticing.

Si Ruxu never said anything, but Si Qi knew that she cared about Si Luoheng, but her care gradually gathered dust in the dark corner, and was then covered up by righteousness, life and death, and the lucky hope that everyone would be resurrected after the disaster.

Noticing Si Qi's gaze, Si Ruxu looked over from afar. Across the bustling crowd, the setting sun cast a small shadow at her feet. She was standing in her past self.

She curled her lips softly, showing none of the toughness she showed to others when it came to Si Qi. She was like a hedgehog in distress, putting up a hard shell but always leaving a soft side to her hand.

Si Qi lowered his eyes, avoiding her gaze. She had been stabbed once before, and she didn't believe anything Si Ruxu said.

Something bumped into her feet, and she looked down to see a ragged child staring at the meat still cooking in the pot in front of him and swallowing.

The child was very thin, with her bones sticking out from behind a large piece of torn clothing. She didn't say a word, but just looked into the pot, unconsciously stretching her neck, her nose moving up and down slightly.

Si Qi squatted down until the child could look at her at eye level, then curled her lips. She saw some timidity and fear in the child's eyes, but he didn't move his feet.

"These are for dry food." Hearing Si Qi's words, the child nodded, but her eyes were still glancing at the pot. She was very hungry, but she knew that she couldn't eat these, and they were not meant for her.

She used to watch it, and some adults would chase her away, but this person looked nice and good-looking, so she stayed by his side for so long.

Si Qi felt her pockets, but there was nothing in them. Ever since she met Si Ruxu, she no longer had the habit of carrying food with her.

A shadow fell on her head, followed by gentle words: "This is the dried meat made from the food in the pot. Take it and eat it with your family."

It was Si Ruxu's voice.

She was holding a bag of dried meat in her hand. When the dried meat was held in the child's arms, the bag looked very big.

The child hugged the dried meat tightly, swallowed a few times unconsciously, said thank you in a dry voice, and ran back.

"It's rare to find a family that can raise a child at this time, and they look like an ordinary family." Si Ruxu tilted her head and looked at Si Qi who had stood up.

She knew that Si Qi always liked to look the children straight in the eye, just squatting down like that, gently and always patiently listening to them talk, and then speaking himself.

Si Qi nodded and continued to look at the pot in front of her. The meat in the pot was rolling, and clumps of meat were washed to the top and then fell down by bubbles.

Like providing porridge at disaster shelters.

After stirring for a while, Si Qi's bracelet suddenly lit up. She raised her hand and saw that the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. Before she could agree, the bracelet automatically connected.

The first thing that came to his ears was a suppressed, painful gasp, and then the girl's words, which she forced herself to hold back, came out of the bracelet.

"Si Qi, come to the border quickly. Here is the truth you want, quickly."

"Luo Heng!" Si Ruxu held Si Qi's wrist tightly, her lips trembling slightly. "How are you?"

"I'm fine... I was a little injured. The bone protected me, but it doesn't have much energy. Sister, let Si Qi go to the border. No matter whether it's extremely cold or hot behind, go to the border first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bracelet was cut off.

Si Qi called again several times, but it always showed that the number was out of service area.

Another message popped up on the bracelet, from Luo Fenghe: "Extreme cold has arrived. Lead those people to seek shelter quickly, and return yourself as well. We don't have enough resources and heating, so stay in bed."

"I'll go to the border, and you lead them to refuge."

"I'm with you!"

The two sentences almost overlap.

Si Qi looked up at Si Ruxu, his amber eyes showing a mixture of seriousness and pleading.

She curled her lips coldly.

"Si Ruxu, you can't go. You have to consider the overall situation."

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

The author has something to say: In the early days, the boss said: Considering the overall situation, anyone can be sacrificed.

Xiao Si in the later period: Si Ruxu, you have to consider the overall situation.

Congratulations to my ex-wife for getting hit right between the eyebrows by a boomerang [scatter flowers]

It will be finished in a few days. The foreshadowing is filled in very quickly. It may be to go on the charts or something.

Do you want to see extra chapters about their rental house and campus life? If you want, I will write some extra chapters after the main story is finished (maybe 6,000 words each).

Does this pace feel slow?

Does anyone want to see the extra chapter about raising children? As I was writing, I felt that these two really needed a complete family to heal.
