Just by hearing that voice, Qin Bai knew how much pain Gu Lang had been going through during this time.
Qin Bai nodded heavily and said, "Old Gu, it's me. Open the door."
But Gu Lang didn't open the door. Instead, he said, "Old Qin, you can leave now. Don't ever come here again."
This won't do.
Qin Bai came here to help Gu Lang, even though Gu Lang's wife was dead, Gu Lang was still alive.
If he doesn't take action now, Gu Lang might die at any time.
It's worth noting that Zeng Qiangguo almost committed suicide back then. If it weren't for his words that made the other person give up the idea of suicide, Zeng Qiangguo might have been gone long ago.
Although Gu Lang did not commit suicide for love, given his longing for his wife, he would eventually take this path.
"If you consider me a brother, open the door now!"
“When I first graduated, I had very little money and I was even scammed out of it. You took the initiative to help me, otherwise I might have starved to death on the streets.”
“And the last time I worked, I didn’t have any money to pay the rent, and you gave me some money so that I could have a stable job.”
"I have never forgotten these things!"
"Old Gu, if you don't open the door, I'm not leaving!"
There was another period of silence, but suddenly, the door clicked open.
Qin Bai gently pushed open the door, and the moment he opened it, he smelled a pungent stench of blood.
He was already mentally prepared for this.
Gu Lang committed murder, and while someone might clean up the outside, no one might clean up the inside of the house.
Plus, those who die will turn into ice corpses and be killed by Gu Lang again, so it must be almost like hell inside.
Sure enough, when he first saw what was inside, it was even more exaggerated than he had imagined.
The entire house was covered with frozen bloodstains, and the ground was littered with the corpses of frozen bodies.
It's fair to say there's nowhere left to stand inside.
Even so, there was still a spot in the living room sofa area that was barely clean.
Gu Lang sat in the chair, staring blankly at the corpse of a woman on the sofa; it was his wife.
Qin Bai took a deep breath and walked towards Gu Lang.
"Old Gu, I know what happened. Please accept my condolences."
Qin Bai looked at Gu Lang's wife's corpse with a sorrowful expression on his face.
Gu Lang didn't react for a while before saying, "Old Qin, why can't good people be good? Do good people deserve to die?"
"It's not that you can't be a good person, but that before you can be a good person, you need to have the confidence to handle any situation! Good people shouldn't die; what should die are those whose brains have been consumed by their own selfish desires!"
“You did the right thing, those people deserve to die, but you can’t go on like this. If your sister-in-law were alive, she wouldn’t want you to end up like this.”
Qin Bai knew that if Gu Lang couldn't get out of his inner turmoil, he would continue like this.
This time, Gu Lang's reaction was finally a little faster. He raised his head and looked at Qin Bai with his blood-red eyes.
"Old Qin, I regret it so much. Why wasn't I by her side at that time? If I had been there, she wouldn't have been in this situation. It's all my fault."
Qin Bai reached out and placed his hand on his shoulder, saying earnestly, "This isn't your fault, nor is it your sister-in-law's fault. The fault lies with those people, and with this era!"
"Let's take my sister-in-law down here and give her a proper burial."
It would be virtually impossible for an ordinary person to dig a hole in this frozen ground.
However, Qin Bai, who possesses supernatural abilities, is capable of doing such a thing.
Gu Lang agreed, and he immediately reached out and picked up his wife's body.
At this moment, Qin Bai suddenly realized something.
That's not right. Everyone else's bodies turned into frozen corpses after they died, so why is my sister-in-law's body still the same as before?
He took a quick look and, sure enough, there was no ice layer on his sister-in-law's body.
In other words, although my sister-in-law died, her body did not turn into an ice corpse. Why is that?
Thinking of this, Qin Bai asked Gu Lang, "Old Gu, has there been any change in your sister-in-law's body? It seems she hasn't turned into an ice corpse?"
"Change? No. In fact, those people I killed suddenly came back to life, so I had to kill them all over again."
It was clear that Gu Lang was unaware of the changes in his wife; if Qin Bai hadn't brought it up, he still wouldn't have realized it.
Qin Bai really wanted to know why Gu Lang's wife hadn't turned into an ice corpse.
But compared to Gu Lang's situation, he simply said nothing and accompanied Gu Lang downstairs.
Then Qin Bai chose a spot that wasn't covered by snow and started digging.
With the help of his superpowers, he quickly dug a hole large enough to accommodate a person.
Gu Lang slowly placed his wife inside, gazed at her affectionately for a long while, and then covered her with soil together with Qin Bai.
Once his wife's face was completely out of sight, Gu Lang closed his eyes, then opened them again.
"Old Qin, thank you."
There's no need for thanks between brothers.
Gu Lang managed a weak smile; his expression was stiff.
The two returned to Gu Lang's house, where Gu Lang took out some food from the room and began to eat.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have been hungry for a long time.
Qin Bai didn't say anything, but silently ate with him for a while.
"Old Qin, what do you want to do next? I'll go with you."
"I hadn't decided yet. Things were just a little more stable on my end, so I came to see you. I just didn't expect..."
Gu Lang put down the biscuit in his hand and looked up at the ceiling.
"Perhaps this is fate. I am now all alone, and I have nowhere else to go except for you, my brother."
Qin Bai pondered for a moment and said, "I always thought that as long as I stayed at home, I would be safe. But the appearance of the ice corpse made me realize that staying at home is just waiting to die."
"Old Gu, I want to build a safer place. Would you be willing to help me?"
Gu Lang grinned; his expression had returned to normal.
"Of course, we're brothers for life."
Gu Lang extended his fist, and Qin Bai smiled and extended his fist as well. The two bumped fists together.
Now that they have a preliminary plan, they need to choose a goal.
But where is a safe place?
"First, we need to determine the size of this place and the number of people it can accommodate. Do you want a large group or a small group?"
Gu Lang asked.
Qin Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go with a small number. Too many people are difficult to manage, and many problems will arise over time."
Fewer people make management easier and avoid the problems associated with having too many people.
Gu Lang nodded: "Taking the elite route is a good idea. This way, we can make the safe house we need smaller."
