Chapter 237 Dying as a Person
Lin Xi quickly followed and said to the young man, "This is Doctor Jiang, who also has healing abilities. He will try to treat you, but we have to tie you up first to avoid hurting Doctor Jiang."
Since the young man is a person with superpowers, once he turns into a zombie, his attack power will be extremely terrifying.
The young man smiled miserably, "Go ahead and tie me up. If I turn into a zombie, you can just kill me."
Song Huaijin quickly summoned vines and tied the young man's hands and feet tightly.
Lin Xi handed Jiang Yubai a pair of medical rubber gloves. Jiang Yubai put on the gloves and looked at his wound first.
The wound began to ooze pus and smelled fishy.
Jiang Yubai quickly applied energy to the wound, and the wound, which had just been oozing pus, began to heal visibly.
The young man's face turned red and he looked more lively. "Okay?"
Jiang Yubai shook his head apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can feel that I only healed your wound, but didn't kill the virus."
A look of despair appeared on the young man's face. He looked at Jiang Yubai and said, "Can I just cut off my hand? I don't want this hand anymore. Is that okay?"
Jiang Yubai sighed, "The moment your skin was scratched, the virus entered your bloodstream, and then circulated throughout your body."
"Perhaps, if you had cut off your hand at the moment you were injured, you could have been saved."
"Now, it's too late."
The young man closed his eyes and felt some changes beginning to occur in his body.
It seemed as if the blood flow began to slow down and his perception began to decline.
He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the people around him, and said softly, "My name is Hu Wei. My parents are in Shelter No. 1. My father is Hu Changqing and my mother is Zhou Yulan. Please tell them I'm sorry. I can't take care of them in their old age."
"I can only repay their kindness in my next life."
There were many people gathered around, and some girls started crying when they heard what he said.
Lin Xi felt sorry for it, but she was also helpless.
Hu Wei seemed to have suddenly gained courage. He suddenly looked at everyone and raised his voice, "I am a human being. I don't want to die as a zombie. Before I become a zombie, please kill me!"
"No, please smash my head!"
"If the crystal core in my brain can be used, just take it and use it."
The area suddenly fell silent.
Even the girls who were still crying tried their best to hold back their sobs.
Lin Xi clenched and unclenched her fists, then clenched and unclenched them again.
She really couldn't bring herself to do anything to such a brave and decisive young man.
Hu Wei looked at Lin Xi and said, "Lin Xi, you have a gun, right? Shoot me in the head a few more times and make sure it breaks."
Lin Xi's hands were shaking as she was about to grab the gun.
Zhou Ying stood behind Lin Xi and fired several shots at him.
Hu Wei fell down, his entire face was beaten to pieces.
Song Huaijin retracted the vines and silently looked at the person on the ground.
Jiang Yubai's face was also very ugly. As a doctor and a person with healing abilities, he could only watch his patients choose to die but had no way to save them. This made him feel frustrated.
Suddenly someone shouted, "Ahhhhh, I can't stand it anymore, why are there zombies, why has Blue Planet become like this!"
The man ran away while shouting.
Lin Xi turned around and found Xu Lin, whispering, "Burn it."
Xu Lin threw down a small golden flame, which burned silently. Soon, only a pile of white ashes was left on the ground, with a yellowish crystal in the ashes.
Lin Xi called Xiang Xing over, took out a pair of rubber gloves and put them on him, and whispered, "Go get the crystal core and absorb it as quickly as possible."
Xiang Xing looked at the pile of ashes on the ground.
Suddenly burst into tears.
He shook his head desperately, "I don't want it, I don't want it."
Lin Xi looked at him and cried.
After waiting for several minutes, Xiang Xing's crying gradually subsided, and Lin Xi said, "Absorbing the crystal core is to allow you to improve and become stronger as quickly as possible."
"The stronger your abilities, the better you can protect yourself and the more zombies you can kill."
"Come back with me to Shelter No. 1 to meet his parents."
Xiang Xing looked at Lin Xi with tears in his eyes. Lin Xi nodded at him and said, "Go."
Xiang Xing walked to the pile of ashes, bowed, and then picked up the crystal.
Lin Xi put her arm around Xiang Xing, who was only slightly shorter than her, and said, "Let's go to Shelter No. 1."
Song Huaijin and Zhou Ying looked at the backs of the two people, as if they saw Sister Xi doing the same thing more than 20 years ago, teaching them to face everything and growing step by step.
This is Sister Xi.
Their forever Sister Xi!
At that time, cement roads were built near the shelter to transport machinery and materials.
Walking to the side of the road, Lin Xi took out her G-Class and drove Xiang Xing to Shelter No. 1 a few miles away.
People can be seen one after another on the road, and there are still many zombie corpses on the roadside that have not been burned yet.
Arriving at Shelter No. 1, Lin Xi took out a loudspeaker and shouted, "Looking for a man named Hu Changqing and a woman named Zhou Yulan."
After shouting several times, Lin Xi saw someone coming.
It was a middle-aged couple. Lin Xi put away the speaker, and the couple walked up to her. "Lin Xi, are you looking for us?"
Lin Xi looked at the middle-aged man, who looked somewhat similar to Hu Wei.
She suddenly didn't know what to say.
The person who was still full of life a few hours ago was suddenly gone. There was no one else around the middle-aged couple. It was estimated that Hu Wei was an only child.
Lin Xi couldn't open her mouth in front of the two of them.
Zhou Yulan had a vague bad feeling in her heart.
She grabbed Hu Changqing's hand and her whole body was trembling.
Lin Xi whispered, "I came here to tell you two that Hu Wei is no longer with us."
After saying this, Lin Xi didn't know what else to say.
Zhou Yulan felt as if all the bones in her body were pulled out. If Hu Changqing hadn't supported her, she would have slipped to the ground.
Lin Xi went over and supported Zhou Yulan.
Then Hu Changqing asked in a trembling voice: "Did he, did he turn into a zombie?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "No, until the moment of his death, he was still a human being, a man who stood tall and proud."
Hu Changqing nodded while crying, "That's good."
Lin Xi whispered, "My condolences to you two."
Hu Changqing smiled sadly, "I've been prepared for this."
"Our whole family is mentally prepared for this. In such an apocalypse, we don't know when we'll die."
Lin Xi helped them sit down and pointed at the stars, "I let this kid take the crystal core that Hu Wei left behind."
"If you two——"
Hu Changqing waved his hand and said, "Very good, very good."
"There's no use for us keeping that thing, so it's good to be able to make some contribution."
"Just think of it as my son donating his organs."
