In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 360 Twin Lotuses
Just when everyone thought Ling Shu was really a schizophrenic, Jiang Zhan, who had been silent the whole time, frowned slightly and said, "That's not right."
"It's not a double personality, it's two people."
Everyone was stunned again when they heard this.
"What do you mean?" Cheng Sinian's eyes widened slightly. "Brother Zhan, are you saying... there are two people inside her body?"
"Yeah." Jiang Zhan nodded, a complex look flashing in his eyes, "When that 'Ling Shu' appeared just now, her mental fluctuations changed."
"I can confirm that it belongs to another independent individual."
"This...how is this possible?" Professor Kang said in disbelief. "The alienation reactions after the apocalypse are all exclusive. How could two people exist in the same mutant?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu met everyone's gazes and shook his head slightly.
In her memories of both of her lives, she had never seen such an exception.
Qiao Yu and the others were still in shock and confusion, while Ling Shu and Ling Hua, who had just switched bodies, had no idea what was happening. Ling Hua suddenly let out a sharp roar and said viciously, "Alright, since we can't leave today, I'll take someone with me even if I die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Hua suddenly accelerated, jumped directly into the air, and stretched out his arms towards Xie Pingan who was still unconscious.
At the same time, her body changed rapidly, stretching out in an instant, her feet quickly transformed into plant roots, and her body and arms turned into green stems.
The stem continued to stretch longer and flew towards Xie Ping'an at lightning speed.
She wanted to kill Xie Ping'an!
Unfortunately, Jiang Zhan failed to make her wish come true.
Just when the stalk was only one foot away from Xie Ping'an's heart, a wind blade directly and neatly cut the stalk in half.
"Ah——" Ling Hua roared in pain.
At this moment, everyone heard another weak but slightly anxious voice at the same time - "Xiao Hua!"
Everyone turned around and finally saw the complete alien forms of Ling Shu and Ling Hua.
——"Twin Lotuses?!"
No wonder……
No wonder they can share a mutant...
Ling Shu and Ling Hua in front of him looked like a huge lotus flower with two stems.
The two of them were divided at the waist, their lower bodies completely fused together, sharing a common root system, while above the waist, two huge lotus flowers were differentiated upwards through two stems.
Two identical faces were tightly wrapped in two huge pale pink petals, one facing forward and the other facing backward.
Let the two of them always be back to back, never able to see each other's faces.
It was obvious that the stem connected to Ling Shu was much thinner than Ling Hua's, and its color was not as bright as Ling Hua's.
"Xiaohua, how are you? Are you okay?" Ling Shu asked anxiously.
She wanted to look back, but the huge petals completely restricted her movements.
"Xiao Hua, don't move. I'll help you heal!"
As Ling Shu spoke, his body began to emit a faint white light, and the stem of Ling Hua that was cut off by Jiang Zhan began to slowly heal with the flash of white light.
"You don't have to pretend to help me here!" Ling Hua's face was full of anger. "I didn't kill your sweetheart, you must be so happy, right?!"
"I'm telling you, Ling Shu, you'd better not waste your energy. As long as I'm still breathing, I will definitely kill Xie Ping'an!"
"I'm going to make you feel the pain of losing everything! You owe me this! You owe me!"
Ling Hua roared, his expression becoming distorted and ferocious again.
Her eyes were fixed on Xie Ping'an not far away, her eyes full of resentment.
But if you look closely, it's very empty, as if you are looking at another person through Xie Ping'an.
Qiao Yu thought that the person Ling Hua really wanted to kill was Ling Shu.
"Xiao Hua..." Ling Shu continued to treat Ling Hua's vine, his voice growing weaker and weaker, "You promised me not to kill him..."
"I promised to trade your life for his!" Ling Hua roared sharply again, "Now we're both going to die here, so of course what I said before doesn't count anymore!"
"Xiao Hua..." Ling Shu's eyes were filled with sadness, and his voice was choked.
But when Ling Hua heard Ling Shu's voice, she suddenly grinned, "Why, do you feel uncomfortable too?"
"You feel pain even before you lose anything, but have you ever thought about how painful it was for me when you took away everything I had?"
"Xiao Hua... I didn't... I really..."
Ling Shu's face grew paler, but he still tried hard to make some excuses.
Unfortunately, Ling Hua didn't want to listen at all and interrupted her harshly: "You didn't have anything?! Didn't you take away the place that stayed at home, or did you not take away my brother Chu Yi?!"
"Even my legs! It's all because of you! Ling Shu! You took everything from me, and you still have the nerve to tell me you didn't have anything?!"
"You deserve to die! You are the one who deserves to die the most! Why don't you just die?!"
"You die—I want you to die! I…"
Seeing Ling Hua's emotions becoming more and more crazy and her mental fluctuations becoming more and more violent, Jiang Zhan realized that something was wrong. He frowned slightly and directly exerted mental pressure on Ling Hua, causing her to faint temporarily.
Qiao Yu realized that it was Jiang Zhan who did it, and couldn't help but shift his gaze to Jiang Zhan's face.
Jiang Zhan scratched Qiao Yu's palm and explained in a low voice: "Her mental fluctuations just now were very similar to Chu Yi's before his death. She wanted to self-destruct."
Qiao Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this.
How deep was the hatred between these two sisters that made Ling Hua willing to kill Ling Shu by self-destructing herself?
"Xiaohua! Xiaohua, what's wrong with you?!" Ling Shu noticed that Ling Hua suddenly lost consciousness and asked anxiously.
But the voice that answered her was no longer Ling Hua's angry voice.
"Don't worry, Miss Ling." Qiao Yu slowly walked up to Ling Shu, "She just fainted temporarily."
"I'm sorry, Miss Ling. The base is in danger right now and time is running out. We need to know something from you, but Ling Hua will obviously disturb us, so we took the initiative to make her faint. I hope you don't mind."
Hearing this, Ling Shu breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and smiled palely at Qiao Yu, "Captain Qiao, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
"I know what you want to ask." Ling Shu pursed his lips, and a hint of determination finally appeared on his face. "The alien tide was caused by that crystal."
"Xiao Hua and that fake Li Wencai worked together today. One attacked the alien nest, and the other sneaked into the research institute and broke the crystal container, attracting a large number of aliens. Their goal was to take Professor Kang, Professor Shen, and the crystal away during the chaos."
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do to stop them."
"Captain Qiao, I know you're capable. Please, find a way to save the base and the survivors!"
