Chapter 266 The Only Thing I Regret
Jiang Xianyu looked at the person in front of him, and Jian Yue looked at him, with a bright smile in his eyes, which seemed brighter than the stars in the sky.
Jian Yue said: "I heard you are done with your work?"
Jiang Xianyu took his hand back from the moon and nodded, "Yes."
Jian Yue said, "Then we should go back."
Jiang Xianyu asked him, "Today is the New Year, aren't you going to be with your friends?"
"But I think someone needs me more." Jian Yue looked at him with a smile on her face and said, "After all, who makes the moon always bright?"
Jiang Xianyu looked at him quietly. After his eyes fell on Jian Yue for a moment, he finally said, "I haven't celebrated this festival for a long time."
Jian Yue said: "Why."
Jiang Xianyu said: "This is a day of reunion."
But he still had no relatives to see.
Jian Yue looked at Jiang Xianyu with a gentle tenderness in his eyes, and he said, "Then you will have someone to reunite with in the future."
Jiang Xianyu was startled for a moment. The man lifted his eyelids and looked at Jian Yue. What he saw was Jian Yue's warm and smiling face. Someone outside the window set off fireworks. The fireworks exploded in the air. The colorful fireworks exploded in different shapes in the air. The flickering light shone through the glass. Outside the protective shield, Squidward and other zombies also looked up at the sky. In the dark sky, it seemed that everyone had shed their dangerous shells and everyone was enjoying freedom and peace.

The sound of fireworks bursting could be clearly heard through the glass. The person standing at the door walked towards him, stood in front of him, smiled at him and said, "Happy New Year, Xiaoyu."
Fireworks were blooming outside the window, and at the same time, Jiang Xianyu heard the sound of the string of reason in his heart breaking.
Just a moment of leaning over.
Before Jian Yue could react, the man reached out and pulled him into his arms. Jiang Xianyu's large hands wrapped around his waist. He had a faint scent of plum blossoms on him. When the kiss came down, it was firm and powerful. The man who was suddenly pulled into his arms was kissed before he could even react.
The auras of the two people intertwined and merged with each other.
The kiss was very deep, so deep that Jian Yue even had difficulty breathing. When he was let go, Jian Yue's eyes were a little red and he was breathing slightly. Jiang Xianyu touched the back of his neck soothingly.
Because of their previous actions, both of their clothes were a little messy.
Jian Yue's head was resting on his shoulder, Jiang Xianyu's collar was slightly messy. Jian Yue leaned against him, and his eyes saw the small mole on the man's collarbone. It was a small mole that was originally bright red. Since Shen Yushu, this mole had been a bright red plum blossom mole, but now, Jian Yue was sure that the color of this mole had faded.
It is as if plum blossoms have fallen on the snow, been blown by the wind and snow, and been exposed to the scorching sun. After being baptized by time and years, their colors are slowly fading. In the long river of time, the lines that were originally tightly connected are slowly fading.
A teardrop fell on the small red mole, and the plum blossom added a few drops of dew.
Tears slid down Jiang Xianyu's collarbone. Jiang Xianyu's rough fingertips brushed across the corners of Jian Yue's eyes. He whispered, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Jian Yue looked up at him. His moist eyes reflected Jiang Xianyu's figure clearly. He slowly raised his fair and slender hands to hold Jiang Xianyu's face. His fingertips stroked Jiang Xianyu's eyebrows, as if he wanted to remember every inch in his heart and engrave it in his bones and blood. Then he said softly, "Xiaoyu, you have white hair now."
Jiang Xianyu let him stroke his hair.
Jian Yue's eyes were red as he stroked Jiang Xianyu's hair. The man's hair was very soft, but when he stroked the slightly gray hair, he felt a pain like a needle pricking his heart. He remembered that the man in front of him was only in his early twenties, but now he had white hair.
Jiang Xianyu said: "It's okay."
Jian Yue said: "Is it because of the supernatural power you used?"
Jiang Xianyu put his arm around the man's waist and said, "Don't think too much."
Jian Yue knew that he didn't want to make himself worry, but watching his love disappear in front of him was a painful thing, especially repeated and repeated losses. This would not make a person stronger, but more fearful. The mental defenses built up over a long period of time were only because he felt that maybe in the future, in the next life, in the next copy, they would meet again.
But the small red mole faded, and Jian Yue had an inexplicable intuition that perhaps one day in the future, the person in front of him would disappear forever.
Jian Yue said: "Will you die?"
Jiang Xianyu asked him this while looking at the person in his arms. Jian Yue has always been an optimist who likes to smile, but this time he didn't smile. He just looked up at him as if waiting for an answer.
"I don't know." Jiang Xianyu answered him. The man's rough fingertips brushed across Jian Yue's eyebrows. He said, "But I promise that you will live."
Jian Yue said: "I want you to be alive."
Jiang Xianyu hasn't spoken yet.
Jian Yue said, "If you weren't with me, I would just go with someone else."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was bitten, and his lips were blocked, this time with more punitive aggression. When he reacted, his clothes had been slowly taken off. The table was a little cold against his waist, so he shrank even more into Jiang Xianyu's arms. Jiang Xianyu's arms were around the waist of the man in his arms, and he used the back of his hand to block the pain of his waist hitting the table.
A soft groan was heard.
Jian Yue's whole body softened, but Jiang Xianyu did not indulge him. It seemed that only when the person in his arms was completely dependent on him and completely under his control could he ease the man's slightly provoked anger.
It was not until Jian Yue had honestly begged for mercy that Jiang Xianyu embraced the person in his arms and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Do you know you are wrong?"
Jian Yue nodded quickly.
Tears were welling up in the corners of his eyes, and Jiang Xianyu slowly helped him wipe them away.
Jian Yue had no strength at all, but he still leaned slowly on the man's shoulder with his head drooped. Even though he was exhausted, when they were close to each other, he seemed to be able to feel the man's strong heartbeat more, little by little, proving that this person was alive, right beside him, within his reach.
"You were lying." Jian Yue leaned close to his ear and whispered, "There is no one else, I only love you."
Jiang Xianyu paused, and Jian Yue looked up, feeling bad. He had finally gotten through one round, but who would have known that he would be able to get through it again just by speaking his mind.
Just as Jian Yue was about to open his mouth to say something, someone blocked his mouth the next second.
He didn't know when the two of them left the table until they fell on the sofa. When his consciousness was a little fuzzy, Jiang Xianyu hugged him, and their breaths touched. He heard a deep and powerful voice in his ear. Although it was not loud, it was very sincere and serious. Jiang Xianyu said, "I love you, too."
This time, Jian Yue slept very deeply.
The dream was full of strange things. He saw a figure that had been accompanying him all the time, but the figure seemed like an illusion. He could not catch it or touch it. When he wanted to get closer, the illusion slowly moved away from him. He tried hard to catch up with it, but when he was about to touch it, everything disappeared.
Next second.
Jian Yue opened his eyes, and to his surprise, there were tears on his face.
I have forgotten everything in the dream.
Jian Yue: “…”
I touched my head in confusion, wondering if I had dreamed about my money being stolen.
He wanted to sit up, but his waist hurt and he fell back down immediately. The slow pain made Jian Yue regain consciousness and remember what happened yesterday.
Ah, is this the result of angering a petty and jealous man? He will never say such words again, Jian Yue swore in his heart while holding back the pain and tears.
What I saw was the roof of my bedroom. The curtains not far away were drawn, but there was sunlight coming in from outside. It was sunny today, and it looked like the weather was good. It was indeed a good day for the New Year...
etc! !
Jian Yue's eyes widened. Chinese New Year, yes, wasn't he going to find someone to have a New Year's Eve dinner with? !
Sitting up suddenly, Jian Yue covered his waist and groaned again. He opened the information terminal and saw some messages, but only a few were sent. Because of the last few messages, Tiantian and others seemed to have fully realized something. They started eating directly with Xiaopang and others. After the meal, everyone went outside to set off fireworks. It looked very lively.
Jane Yue breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she didn't destroy the nature of others.
He was thinking.
The door outside was opened and someone came in. Jiang Xianyu appeared outside the door. He looked at Jian Yue who was sitting up and said, "Are you awake? Do you have strength?"
Jian Yue saw his waist soften for no apparent reason, but he still didn't want to be too useless, so he said stubbornly, "It's okay, actually."
Jiang Xianyu actually smiled and said, "Really?"
When Jian Yue met the man's eyes, he inexplicably felt that he might be setting a trap for himself. Otherwise, why did he always feel that Xiaoyu seemed happy after he said such words?
Jiang Xianyu didn't give him much time to think, and only said: "The weather tower detected that although the recent weather conditions have been normal, it is precisely because energy is brewing underground that other disasters have not occurred."
Jian Yue was stunned.
He understood the meaning of this sentence very well. If these small disasters fade away, it means that the real big disaster is coming.
Jian Yue looked at Jiang Xianyu and said, "Then let's..."
Jiang Xianyu said, "I have had all the spacecraft inspected and repaired. Yesterday, I also had a factory built. The systems inside the spacecraft were all designed by me. I will try to get as many people on board as possible. However, the new planet we are going to migrate to is a great test for ordinary people's bodies. Not everyone can withstand the high pressure. I'm afraid most people will have to stay behind."
Jian Yue realized the seriousness of the matter, and he immediately stood up and asked, "Then what can we do now?"
Jiang Xianyu said: "I have informed the survivor bases in various places about this matter. As for what to do, it is up to them."
At this point, Jian Yue understood that the rest was beyond their control.
The entire survivor base in City A was very busy. After the Chinese New Year, everyone had more smiles on their faces. There were many people coming and going. Jian Yue and Jiang Xianyu had breakfast together and went downstairs. Jiang Xianyu wanted to take him to see the spaceship. On the way, they met someone.
"Brother!" A child's voice rang out.
Jian Yue turned around and saw the little boy. He remembered him. At that time, he was asked by the prosecutor to leave the base because he failed the inspection to enter the base. Later, he was arranged to live in the outer circle of the base.
"Xiao Peng." Jian Yue said, "Are you here with your mother?"
The boy, called Xiaopeng, nodded and said, "My mother asked me to buy some books."
Jian Yue was a little surprised: "Buying books?"
Xiaopeng looked more embarrassed.
A woman's voice came from not far away. She said, "Xiao Peng! Slow down!"
Jian Yue turned to look at the woman. When the woman came over and saw Jian Yue, she was also surprised. However, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here, Prosecutor Wang. I brought my child here to buy some books. It's the end of the world, and these things are very cheap. I worked in a cotton mill and saved some money. It's the New Year, and it happens to be my child's birthday. Xiaopeng has always liked reading books, so I brought him here to buy some."
In the last days, everyone is struggling to survive, and things like reading and writing are rare.
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Is Xiaopeng okay?"
The woman said happily, "Good, very well. He recovered after a few days of recuperation and was not infected. Although he has no superpowers, we have applied to rent a house in the base. When I work in the factory for a few more years and save some money, I can buy a house."
She is very happy.
As a mother, she is brave and strong. Even when she speaks, there is a gleam of hope on her face. When she talks about the future, she is full of expectations.
If the apocalypse ended here.
If there is no magnetic storm.
Perhaps this is a future that can be realized.
Xiaopeng stood beside his mother and shouted, "I want to grow up quickly, help mom with work, and go out and fight zombies!"
Jian Yue laughed and said to Xiao Peng, "Then you must work hard and grow taller."
Xiaopeng straightened his chest immediately. The little boy's voice was firm. He said, "I want to grow taller, as tall as my big brother!"
Jian Yue said modestly: "Actually, my brother is not that tall..."
Xiao Peng said: "It's not you, it's this brother!"
He was referring to Jiang Xianyu, who stood next to Jian Yue and was a head taller than Jian Yue and looked tall and strong.
Jian Yue: “…”
You are so rude, little brat!
As the two were chatting, Jian Yue took out a small cake from the storage bag and gave it to Xiaopeng. This was the box of cake that was left uneaten in the refrigerator yesterday. He originally wanted to bring it to Tiantian and the others to try, but there were so many in the box, so it didn't matter if he just took one out.
Xiaopeng was so happy that his expression was beyond words. He said, "Brother, although you are not tall, you are tall in my heart!"
Jian Yue told him not to praise him anymore.
Xiaopeng's ear was pulled by his mother. He ran to the side angrily and hugged the kitten. Jian Yue noticed the kitten and found that its limbs were very stiff and its eyes were obviously red, indicating that it was infected with the zombie virus.
Jian Yue was a little surprised: "It..."
"It's Xiao Mi!" Xiao Peng said happily, "We found Xiao Mi. When the base was attacked, Xiao Mi protected us. Brother Xiao Pang told us that Xiao Mi can actually eat grass, because it doesn't need to eat meat after becoming a zombie. Xiao Mi won't be hungry after eating grass. As long as we put a muzzle on it, it can walk freely in the city."
Ever since the A City base had a zombie king as its leader, all the zombies would listen to Jiang Xianyu. Later, at the suggestion of Jian Yue and others, the zombies were asked to help with the work, and after a zombie-friendly environment was created, many friendly zombies appeared.
Even some family members of people with special powers do not need to be executed after they become zombies. As long as they wear protective shields and are fed vegetable cakes regularly, they can be kept by their side.
"Little Kitty is so cute." Jian Yue touched the kitten's head. The kitten, which had turned into a zombie, did not even show its teeth, but just obediently let Jian Yue touch it.
Xiao Peng said: "See, I told you that Xiao Mi is a good cat!"
Jian Yue said: "Really."
"I want to read books and study hard." Xiaopeng said, "In the future, I will develop a drug that can cure zombie disease, so that Xiao Mi and everyone else can live a long life!"
Jian Yue looked at the young child. This was the hope for the future of mankind. He smiled gently and said, "Okay."
People were busy in the base one after another. When he arrived at the apron outside, Jian Yue saw the zombie octopuses outside the protective shield leisurely helping to carry things. What shocked him the most was that there was actually someone sleeping in the sun on Sister Turtle's back.
Tiantian, Li Meng and others are outside researching a new generator, this time a generator with photosynthetic effect.
The base was celebrating the New Year these two days, and people with plant-related abilities made the surrounding flower beds bloom. Xiaopang had some allergies and kept sneezing, so Li Meng handed him a talisman paper and said, "Stick it on your body to prevent allergies."
Xiaopang just put it on his forehead.
Li Meng: "...Actually, you can stick it on your arm."
Xiao Pang just laughed and said, "Okay."
After getting away from the disaster, everyone seemed to be much more relaxed. Jian Yue watched for a while from a distance and then followed Jiang Xianyu. When they arrived at the helipad, they found that the spacecraft was much larger than Jian Yue had imagined.
A spaceship can accommodate up to 20,000 people, and there are thousands of such spaceships on the entire apron.
In other words, at least hundreds of thousands of people can definitely leave. Jian Yue looked at the spaceship, turned to Jiang Xianyu and said, "If we leave, what will happen to these zombies?"
Jiang Xianyu looked at him, and Jian Yue was waiting for his answer. However, when he and Jiang Xianyu looked at each other, he suddenly understood that maybe there was no answer. It was like the system gave each tasker an unsolvable problem. The serum did not exist in the first place.
"You can't save everyone," Jiang Xianyu said.
The wind blew across the tarmac, and Jian Yue looked at him: "What about you?"
Jiang Xianyu said: "I just want to save you."
Humankind has passed the luckiest week since the disaster. During these seven days, it was spring, there were no disasters, no extreme weather, and everyone in the base had a wonderful time.
Until one day.
When Jian Yue and Jiang Xianyu were sitting in the house playing chess together, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the sky above the entire base. The sound was long and distant, and it kept circling and circling above the entire base.
A large area of the originally blue sky turned orange-red, as if it was stained with blood.
The distant, ancient roars were heard all around, the earth seemed to be shaking silently, and screams were heard outside the base, but no one panicked.
Two days ago, Jiang Xianyu, after consultation with a group of senior officials at the base, issued a warning letter to all residents of the base, stating that a nuclear explosion would occur within the next few days and asking everyone to be prepared.
Once the alarm sounds, the ground will suffer a devastating blow within the next two hours, and those people with special abilities can board the plane and leave during this time.
A broadcasting voice sounded at the base: "All those who have obtained the pass please go to the apron in Area C to board the plane. All those who have obtained the pass please go to the apron in Area C to board the plane. All those who have obtained the pass please go to the apron in Area C to board the plane!"
Too many people were heading towards the boarding area.
However, those who can go there include not only people with special powers, but also many children. The spaceship is equipped with a nutrition sleeping chamber. All the children who have not awakened their special powers enter the energy chamber to sleep. Perhaps they will have a chance to wake up after a hundred years. These are the hopes of mankind.
There was a buzzing sound in the sky and the entire base was in chaos. The psychics rushed to the helipad, while many ordinary people were left behind. This was the end of the world and it was extremely cruel.
Originally, he thought that everyone would compete for a spot on the cabin.
But he was wrong.
"Go away, go away, and leave me alone."
"Stay alive!"
"Don't waste time!"
Jian Yue had reserved a place for Tiantian and others very early on. The zombie world is extremely dangerous, and leaving this world by taking a spaceship is the way to leave this dream core.
"Just go," Jian Yue said, "It doesn't matter if we can't get the props, and it doesn't matter if we lose the guild competition. The most important thing is to stay alive. There will be ways to deal with other things."
Li Meng said, "What about you?"
Jian Yue said: "I'm going to find someone."
Li Meng didn't say much, as if she knew what Jian Yue would do: "You go."
Jian Yue turned and walked to the back, where Jiang Xianyu was using a data panel to monitor the storm. The other animals outside the energy shield also felt the crisis. Squidward and the turtle sisters were walking around uneasily, and the zombies outside were flapping at the protective shield.
Jiang Xianyu saw him coming, took Jian Yue's hand and said, "Come here."
In the innermost corner, there is a spaceship parked.
Jiang Xianyu said, "Go in."
Jian Yue said: "What about you?"
Jiang Xianyu handed something to Jian Yue and said, "This key is for you. It's in the safe on the spaceship. There are my savings and..."
Jian Yue held his hand. There was wind blowing from afar. The sky was bright red. The earth was roaring. Not far away was the sound of people fleeing. Jian Yue looked at him and said, "You didn't plan to leave from the beginning, right?"
Jiang Xianyu said: "I can't abandon them."
Behind Jiang Xianyu were Xiaopang and the others, as well as Squidward, who was outside the protective shield and had to cover his ears with his tentacles because of the noise from the magnetic storm, and Turtle, who was about to turn over and crush the zombies to death because they kept stepping on her. They all stood together.
Xiaopang met Jian Yue's gaze, smiled and said, "You know, in fact, at the beginning, my plan was to kill everyone in this base and use their crystal cores to raise zombies, because I hate humans and hate them using our companions for experiments. Do you know what will happen to the animals whose experiments fail? They won't even have a complete corpse. I hate humans' selfishness and hypocrisy. I like to watch them kill each other, dog bites dog."
Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "So you were the mastermind behind all those people on the cruise ship and the boat?"
Xiaopang said: "I just told them how to use the crystal core. As for what to do, it is up to them to decide."
Jian Yue was silent. Perhaps one day, when people discovered it themselves, such things might indeed be just worldly problems, and the end of the world would magnify people's desires.
"In the beginning, our plan was to seize all the spaceships for ourselves." Xiaopang said, "Zombies are the race that is truly suitable for landing on alien planets. We have strong physical fitness and are more suitable than anyone else."
Jian Yue asked: "Why did you change your mind now?"
There was silence for a moment.
Xiaopang smiled innocently and said, "It's impossible for everyone to leave anyway, so we might as well stay together with everyone. What's more, we suddenly discovered..."
He looked at Jian Yue and said, "Actually, you humans are not bad either."
In the last month, humans and zombies lived in harmony, without prejudice or pain, all for the sake of their own survival.
Jian Yue looked towards Jiang Xianyu. The wind from the magnetic storm was already carrying a bloody murderous aura that made people's hearts ache. This was still inside the safety shield. He didn't know how painful it would be outside.
Jiang Xianyu stroked his hair which was a little messy due to the wind: "Let's go."
Jian Yue said: "What about you?"
Jiang Xianyu didn't answer.
Jian Yue was silent for a moment, then he held Jiang Xianyu's hand and said, "Don't leave me alone, Xiaoyu."
Jiang Xianyu raised his eyelids and looked at him in some surprise.
When he met Jian Yue's red eyes, there was a moment of pain in his heart. Through these eyes, he saw countless shadows. Someone held his hand, crying and saying, "Don't leave me alone. Take me with you. We must have a way."
Those eyes traveled through the long river of time and merged with the eyes before them.
Jiang Xianyu's throat was a little dry: "You will regret it."
Jian Yue looked at him. He raised his hand and stroked the white hair on Jiang Xianyu's temples. Tears rolled down his eyes: "The only thing I regret is that I didn't meet you earlier."
The low hum of the magnetic storm was deafening.
Not far away came the sound of spaceships taking off one after another.
Jiang Xianyu slowly held the hand of the person in front of him, and he whispered, "Okay."
