Xie Xuan transmigrated to a wasteland world over a hundred years later.
Marine fungi, initially affected by nuclear-contaminated water, were brought back to land by a tsunami, and a spore inf...
In this case, Wang Qin probably did not choose to go down the dead end arranged for her by the person who sent the package.
Just as Xie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Yang Jiayue say with mixed emotions, "Also, of the six people in the car, except for Wang Qin and her youngest daughter, who was sitting in the right back seat, the other four—Wang Qin's husband, parents-in-law, and eldest daughter—all died despite efforts to save them."
If Xie Xuan had not seen the letter sent to Wang Qin and had not heard the story of Wang Qin told by Yang Jiayue, she might have thought it was just a simple accident.
But knowing all this, this accident doesn't seem like a complete coincidence.
Xie Xuan hoped that she was just overthinking it. "I understand. As long as she's okay, that's good."
"Yes, I'm glad you're okay. I'm sorry to bother you today. I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free."
After the call was disconnected, Yang Jiayue sat by the hospital bed and reviewed the video footage of the intersection where the accident happened again.
The camera's field of view was mostly blocked by the overtaking truck, but in the perspective of one of the cameras, it could be vaguely seen that when the collision occurred, there seemed to be a faint fire outside the camera heading straight for Wang Qin's car.
Immediately afterwards, the household new energy vehicle caught fire and only the right rear door was pushed open.
Wang Qin staggered out of the fire scene holding her little daughter. When she wanted to go back to save her elder daughter, she was stopped by the traffic police who arrived in time. She could only watch the new energy vehicle explode.
Wang Qin, who is now lying on the hospital bed, has suffered extensive burns all over her body, but her little daughter's condition is much less serious.
It seemed like just a coincidence. Yang Jiayue turned off the video and looked at Wang Qin who had fallen asleep again, wondering what she was thinking.
At the same time, there was an uninvited guest standing in Wang Qin's home.
"I've already said I'm not good at this kind of thing. Why should I be the one to clean up the mess left by any random person? What have I become? Someone who just cleans up other people's messes?"
The tall young man complained dissatisfiedly to the person on the other end of the line.
The man on the other side snorted coldly, "If you think I can't clean it properly, don't ask me to clean it. My arms are short, so I can only clean it to this extent."
"Xiao Yao, do you know what this behavior of yours is called?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the terminal, "Hypocrisy."
Xiao Yao's expression darkened, but before he could speak, the middle-aged man said, "Don't worry about this matter. I will let others handle it as you wish."
The man hung up the phone right after he said this. The terminal interface stayed on the call end interface for one second and then automatically jumped back to the standby interface.
Xiao Yao picked up the photo on the sideboard with an expressionless face.
In the photo, a woman who looks to be around 30 years old is standing at the very edge, holding her little daughter in her arms, with her eldest daughter standing in front of her, while her husband and parents-in-law are standing in the center of the picture with them as if they are two families.
Xiao Yao tapped his fingertips twice on his eldest daughter, who was standing in the front with a dull expression, closed his eyes, and put the photo back to its original place.
A few minutes later, Xiao Yao disappeared from Wang Qin's house, leaving no trace except for the slightly tilted photo on the sideboard.
After knowing that Wang Qin did not create a new infection incident, Xie Xuan started to stroll around carefully again, based on the principle that since the ticket money had been spent, she might as well have a good look around.
Xie Xuan had been to the zoo twice before traveling through time. Perhaps because she could empathize with the animals kept in captivity for tourists to watch to some extent, she left directly after completing her mission.
Strictly speaking, this was her first time visiting a zoo.
Unlike the zoos of more than a hundred years ago, this zoo has very few species and is built entirely indoors.
Probably due to cost and safety considerations, there are no large animals such as elephants and giraffes, nor are there any ferocious beasts such as lions and tigers.
Xie Xuan looked around and saw the most birds.
When Xie Xuan was about to reach the Peacock Garden, she suddenly heard someone in front of her exclaim, "The peacock is spreading its tail!"
Xie Xuan walked over quickly and saw a white peacock trapped behind a glass wall shaking its coverts. Right in front of it, outside the glass wall, sat a girl as white as the white peacock.
"This girl is so beautiful."
"Could it be that the peacock is courting her?"
Xie Xuan heard the whispers in the crowd. She couldn't help but open the terminal to take a picture of the scene before walking through the crowd to the girl.
In such a short time, the white peacock had folded its feathers and hid to the other side, and the crowd began to slowly disperse.
"What a coincidence, we meet again." Xie Xuan spoke first.
The girl came back to her senses and looked up at Xie Xuan. "It's you, what a coincidence. Have you finished your business?"
Xie Xuan nodded. "It's done. How about you? Are you almost done with your shopping?"
"Not yet. There's still a lot left to see." The girl pursed her lips embarrassedly, "Because I always linger for a long time in front of each exhibition area."
Xie Xuan glanced at the young woman pushing the wheelchair. She still had a serious look on her face.
"My name is Xie Xuan, what's your name?"
The girl seemed a little surprised that Xie Xuan asked her name. She looked up at the woman behind her and then said softly, "My name is Eve."
"Eve," Xie Xuan repeated, "you're probably not from District 6, but you speak District 6 dialect very well."
Eve thanked him politely, "Thank you for the compliment. I have a lot of free time, and learning a language is a good way to pass the time."
Xie Xuan thought of the girl's special physical condition and didn't ask any further questions. "I also have a lot of places I haven't seen. How about going shopping together?"
Eve glanced at the woman behind her again, but the woman didn't react at all.
"Okay." Eve pursed her lips and smiled, "Xie Xuan, thank you."
Xie Xuan didn't feel like she had done anything worthy of gratitude. "Have you always been alone?"
Xie Xuan privately didn't think that a woman pushing a wheelchair like a robot could be considered a human being.
Eve also ignored the mistake in Xie Xuan's words and shook her head slightly, "I have a brother, we are twins, and he is very good to me."
Xie Xuan echoed, "He must be a very gentle person like you, right?"
Eve seemed to recall something, and the smile on her lips became more genuine. "Adam is the best person I have ever met. I love my brother the most."
"You two siblings have such a great relationship." Xie Xuan sighed, "If I had a brother..."
Xie Xuan tried to imagine a brother in her mind, but the first shadow that popped up was Xie Yuheng.
Xie Xuan choked herself and said, "I don't want to have a brother."
