Chapter 16 Reminders from Dark Personality
“It’s so sunny…”
Ah Yang opened her eyes, reached out to help Zhu Ci wipe the sweat off his neck, and said in a very domineering manner: "You are tired, right? But you can't let go, or I will kill you. You must carry me on your back all day!"
The tone of voice has a bit of the feeling of a domineering personality forcing love.
Li Huiyin was so tired that she was panting, but she could still imagine a small drama in her mind.
"Don't worry." Zhu Ci just felt hot, not tired. Xu Zhiyang's body has not fully grown yet, and her arms and legs are thin, so she feels light when she is lifted.
Ah Yang nodded in satisfaction and advised earnestly, "Good boy, you must always remember that your life is in my hands. Although I know you are only enduring humiliation and being loyal in your heart, listen to me and bow your head when you should. I will not treat you unfairly..."
"You think too much." Zhu Ci said coldly.
As noon approached, the fog gradually dissipated. Qin Shiyu looked up at the signpost on the side of the road and said, "We are finally entering Chongqing City. Rongchang District is just ahead."
Li Huiyin sat down on the ground exhausted, "I've been walking for so long, and I still haven't left my hometown."
Qin Shiyu sat next to her and said, "We are pretty fast, but it would be better if we could find a car."
"Speaking of which, Xiaoyu, your accent doesn't sound like it's from here. Where are you from?"
"I'm from Chongqing. My grandmother lives in Chengdu, and my home is in Rongchang District."
"Is that so?" Li Huiyin looked up at Zhu Ci again, "Brother, where are you from?"
"The imperial capital, Beijing."
"Oh." Li Huiyin nodded. Seeing Qin Shiyu writing on his lap with a piece of paper and a pen, she asked in confusion, "Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"
Zhu Ci glanced over when he heard the voice. The pattern on the paper seemed to be calculating something, and soon the paper was filled with dense writing.
Qin Shiyu quickly finished with a few strokes and put away the paper and pen. "Look, I'm thinking of going home. I have a dog that I left with a neighbor before I went to Chengdu. I calculated that the chance of it mutating is around 70%. Maybe we could consider going to my house."
Zhuci asked, "Do you want to use the dog as our means of transportation?"
"Yes, it's a Husky. I've trained it to be very smart and gentle. Let it take us to Beijing, and it will be faster."
Li Huiyin clapped her hands, "Yes! Cars need people to control them, but dogs don't! But how can you be sure it won't go berserk and eat you when it sees you?"
"On the way out of Chengdu, I observed that other people's mutant pets all obeyed their owners very well, with only a few individuals harming them. However, from my observation, those that actively attacked their owners were because they had been abused by them."
After Qin Shiyu finished speaking, he looked up at Zhu Ci, who everyone had already recognized as the backbone of the team.
Zhu Ci was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Since we're passing by, let's go to your house and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ayang on Zhu Ci's back yawned and woke up. He smacked his lips and lay there as if he had no bones.
"Dogs, I like them... I've never ridden a dog before..."
Ah Yang was still not fully awake, and murmured, "I've ridden centipedes and people before, so if I could ride a dog again..."
Zhu Ci, who was being ridden, had a face as black as ink.
But someone was still happily swinging his legs, his thin ankles could be held in one hand and would break if bent.
But no one present could beat him.
Qin Shiyu noticed something was wrong with Ayang. The sun was reflecting off his glasses. "He seems very sleepy? Is he about to fall asleep?"
"What do you mean? If he falls asleep, will Xu Xiaoyang be able to come back?" Li Huiyin asked quietly.
Qin Shiyu observed Ah Yang for a moment. "It's very likely that as long as he falls asleep, Brother Xu will wake up. This is Brother Xu's body's protection mechanism. Once he encounters mortal danger, his second personality will appear. Conversely, once the danger disappears, his personality will continue to sleep."
In the afternoon, they traveled desperately. Everyone was visibly tanned, except for someone who looked as good as Voldemort.
"Voldemort" had Zhuci's coat on his head, and was covered tightly with a quilt. But Zhuci was working hard, his back was like a stove, and the sweat was pouring down his body many times more than the other two.
Voldemort Ayang woke up at night, sniffed Zhuci's neck, and said with a hint of disgust: "Hey, you don't smell good anymore. I don't even want to kill you anymore."
Zhu Ci said expressionlessly, "That's really great."
"It's getting dark." Qin Shiyu was carried on Li Huiyin's back. The child was so tired today that his feet were covered with blisters.
Li Huiyin swallowed hard, her throat dry and ready to burst into flames. "What should I do tonight? Sleep on the concrete road? Or in the grass nest outside the railing?"
"I think it's safer in a tree. Although there are fewer zombies on the highway, the surrounding grass is lush and potentially dangerous. In comparison, a tree with lush branches and leaves has a higher safety factor, and I can observe the surrounding situation at any time."
Qin Shiyu finished speaking in one breath and his mouth was dry. He took out a bottle of water from his backpack, unscrewed it with difficulty, and handed it to Li Huiyin, asking her to drink it first.
Li Huiyin rubbed the child's head, did not refuse, took it, drank half a bottle of water in one breath, and handed it back.
"Then let's walk a little further and find a suitable tree." Zhu Ci lifted A Yang up.
Ah Yang suddenly spoke, his tone extremely cold, "Hurry up, something is coming, we can't stay on the road..."
At this moment, he paused, took a few quick breaths as if he was about to die, and fell backwards due to exhaustion!
"Hello!"
Zhu Ci was afraid that he would fall, so he quickly grabbed Ayang's arm and put him on the ground.
"Xu Xiaoyang! What's wrong with you?!" Li Huiyin was afraid that Voldemort would hurt Xu Xiaoyang's body, so she knelt on the ground which was scorching hot from the sun all day and dragged and picked up his upper body.
Qin Shiyu moved closer, shook Xu Zhiyang's arm, and asked, "What do you mean by what you just said? Can you foresee some kind of danger?"
Ah Yang's red pupils slowly faded, and he looked extremely weak. "Even if you die, you must die in my hands... So, hide quickly... The third time... 48 hours... in the dark..."
Ah Yang's voice became lower and lower, and finally he fell into a deep sleep, and no matter how hard they shouted, they could not wake him up.
Qin Shiyu pondered his words. "My intuition tells me that I should listen to Ah Yang. We need to hide quickly. The dark night he mentioned sounds unbearable to contemplate."
"The third time, 48 hours, in the dark. I think Ah Yang is trying to hint at something!"
Qin Shiyu's mind raced, "Could it be that this is about a world mutation? The fact that there are no mutated plants on the edge of the city is already puzzling..."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Qin Shiyu's conjecture struck Li Huiyin as absurd, but when combined with Xu Zhiyang's abilities, the addition of this strange and irrational personality, and the incredible power of the second personality...
Li Huiyin felt that Qin Shiyu's guess made sense. She was unwilling to believe it simply because she was too scared.
A red snow claimed the lives of over a billion people and turned humans into zombies, but this was followed by another earthquake mutation.
Plants and animals grew larger, possessed all sorts of strange abilities, and rose to the top of the food chain.
However, all this is not over yet. If there really is more mutation, then is there still a place for humans to stand on this blue planet?
