Chapter 34 Born to be against the will of heaven
Li Huiyin's heart seemed to stop beating at this moment, she forgot to breathe, and mechanically stretched her trembling fingers under Xu Zhiyang's nose.
"He's not breathing..." Li Huiyin turned her head stiffly, her eyes full of fear, "He's not breathing...Xu Zhiyang...Xu Zhiyang..."
Li Huiyin collapsed and yelled: "Xu Zhiyang!!!"
Zhu Ci knelt on the ground, laid Xu Zhiyang flat, leaned over Xu Zhiyang's chest and listened for a while. His originally tense expression obviously relaxed.
The next sentence completely saved Li Huiyin, who was about to cry to death.
"There's still a heartbeat."
.
When he woke up again, Xu Zhiyang opened his eyes in confusion and looked at the sky... There was no sky... Only a tin roof.
I am Xu Zhiyang...but where am I?
Xu Zhiyang, who was not stunned by the fish, could still clearly remember his name. He slowly sat up, enduring the pain all over his body.
Xu Zhiyang felt warm all over, as if surrounded by a ball of cotton... oh... not cotton.
"Momo." Xu Zhiyang reached out and touched the dog's front legs.
Momo leaned over and gently touched Xu Zhiyang's belly with the tip of his nose. His eyes were as clear and pure as crystal, and he tilted his head slightly towards Xu Zhiyang.
Xu Zhiyang said softly: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
Momo understood and rubbed Xu Zhiyang with the tip of her nose before continuing to lie down and sleep.
Xu Zhiyang took a look at the empty paint bucket in front of him. There was a pile of dry wood stuffed inside, and the fire was burning brightly. There were also a few stainless steel pipes on top of the bucket that he had found from somewhere.
A few sweet potatoes still covered in mud were placed on the tube...
"Xu Xiaoyang! You're awake!" Li Huiyin, who came in from outside, saw Xu Zhiyang at a glance. She ran to him in a few steps and pounced on Xu Zhiyang like a tiger descending from the mountain.
“…Damn it! I was scared to death!” Li Huiyin said in a crying voice.
Xu Zhiyang pretended to cough a few times and weakly extended his hand to Qin Shiyu, who was also surprised.
"I'm almost crushed to death... Help..."
Upon hearing this, Li Huiyin quickly got up. Seeing Xu Zhiyang laughing, she punched him angrily, "You scared Dad to death! What if something happened to you? How am I going to explain it to your brother?"
"You are not my sister-in-law, what is there to explain?" Xu Zhiyang didn't look at Li Huiyin, but raised her eyes to look at Zhu Ci. Her brown pupils were as clear as crystal, transparent and clean, with a hint of smile in them.
Zhu Ci did not look away hastily after just two seconds of staring at her as usual. Instead, his usually cold eyes were now filled with gentle ripples as he stared at Xu Zhiyang quietly.
Qin Shiyu looked at the two of them without saying anything, just smiled with relief.
Li Huiyin coughed, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what sister-in-law do you mean... The reason we get along well isn't because of, because of your brother..."
Xu Zhiyang was the first to lose the battle. He quickly shifted his gaze and then stared at Li Huiyin suspiciously, "Li Huiyin, why are you stuttering?"
The girl who usually argues faster than a cannon is now stuttering?!
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Huiyin jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Who likes your brother? I don't, I'm not! Don't talk nonsense!"
"Why are you panicking?"
"Ha, I'm not panicking!"
"Why are you shaking your legs if you're not panicking?"
"Is it okay if I have rheumatism?! Can't you see it's raining outside?"
Qin Shiyu saw Li Huiyin's face was red as blood, and hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "Second brother, I'm so glad you're okay. We were really worried about you."
Xu Zhiyang: "Sorry, are you hurt?"
Qin Shiyu pushed his glasses and shook his head. "I don't have any. Just now, my brother and sister and I went out to see if there were any non-mutated chickens or fish to catch and make soup for you, but after looking around, we only found sweet potatoes."
Xu Zhiyang smiled, stood up and stretched his arms and legs. All the injuries caused by the scavenger were healed. The four of them gathered around the fire and warmed themselves.
The factory was very noisy, the rain was pouring down, and the sound of raindrops hitting the iron roof was amplified, but it was quite hypnotic once you got used to it.
Qin Shiyu sat next to Xu Zhiyang and took out the small notebook he often used to take notes in. He asked, "Second brother, when you fell into the river, was it Ah Yang who came out to save you?"
Xu Zhiyang thought for two seconds, "I'm not sure. After falling into the river, I used wood energy to grow water plants to entangle the big fish. Later, due to lack of energy, I was knocked unconscious. I don't remember anything after I passed out."
Qin Shiyu nodded, wrote it down in the notebook, and turned to look at Zhu Ci, "Brother, did you see it?"
Zhu Ci: "Well, it was Ah Yang who suddenly appeared, killed the mutant fish with water energy, and then fainted again."
Qin Shiyu was surprised and said, "Normally, the second personality wouldn't wake up after fainting, but after being knocked unconscious and drowning, my second brother was able to wake up and control his body. Does this mean that Ah Yang's abilities are getting stronger and stronger?"
"Perhaps." Xu Zhiyang carefully felt the degree of evolution of his water energy. "Ayang absorbed the water energy of the mutant fish, but my water energy hasn't changed at all. It seems that the energy he collected when he appeared became his own."
After he finished speaking, Xu Zhiyang suddenly sneezed, and a strong gust of cold wind blew into the empty factory. Except for Zhu Ci, the others shivered collectively.
A familiar coat was draped over Xu Zhiyang. He looked back, and Zhu Ci didn't feel anything was wrong. Instead, he gently pushed aside the hair on the back of Xu Zhiyang's head with his fingers to see if the injured area had healed.
"You're recovering quickly." Zhu Ci withdrew his hand and sat down next to Xu Zhiyang naturally.
Xu Zhiyang hummed, "Even if he faints, as long as he's still alive, the injuries on his body will heal on their own."
Qin Shiyu put down the pen in his hand and sighed, "With Ah Yang, such a heaven-defying existence, plus immortality and energy transmission..."
"Brother, if your secret were known to others, I'm afraid they would all come to fight for it."
Xu Zhiyang smiled suddenly: "It's not that exaggerated. Although Ah Yang is at the third level, he advances very slowly. How can he be immortal? If he is shot in the head or heart, he will die instantly. How can he repair the wound and revive?"
"As for transmitting the Five Elements energy, my energy isn't endless. If I were a jar storing the Five Elements energy, I'd also have a limit to what I could endure. I can't transmit energy all the time."
Qin Shiyu shook his head in disapproval. "Second brother, the third level is very far away for big brother and sister for the time being. Ayang's personality has already reached the top as soon as it appears. If your ability breaks through the third level, then those shortcomings will not be a big deal."
Li Huiyin suddenly raised her hand and interrupted, "Are you saying that once Xu Xiaoyang breaks through to the third level, he'll be invincible?"
Qin Shiyu smiled mysteriously: "You can say that by then, my second brother will be able to kill everyone and become the savior of all mankind."
Xu Zhiyang frowned slightly. He really disliked the word "savior". It was like an extremely heavy burden pressing on him, making him breathless.
"But the strength of the team is more important. No matter how amazing he is, he is still a human being who gets tired and feels pain." Zhu Ci reached out and pinched the sweet potato whose skin had been roasted black, broke it in half and handed it all to Xu Zhiyang.
"The meaning of a comrade-in-arms is that when he's tired, he can still rely on me."
