Ye Youbai and Ji Sijian followed Jiang Shiwei out of the house and stopped. They heard Jiang Shiwei calling "Grandma" as soon as he entered the house, as if it had become a habit.
"The environment here is really not that good..." Ji Sijian looked around with disgust and said with some disgust.
It is not known whether he was disgusted with the previous leader Ling Jiangge for not managing the Chier base well, or he was disgusted with the environment here.
Following Jiang Shiwei all the way, Ye Youbai also carefully looked at the surrounding environment. The house was dilapidated and seemed like it would fall down with a slight push.
There was a foul odor coming from some of the houses, like the smell of rotting corpses.
The paths outside each house were littered with debris, leaving no place to step. Ye Youbai and Ji Sijian could be said to have half-floated to the door of Jiang Shiwei's house.
Jiang Shiwei called out a few times in the house, but his grandma didn't respond. Before, when he came back, his grandma would happily say, "You're back."
But not today.
Apart from Jiang Shiwei's voice, the room was terribly quiet, as if you could hear a pin drop.
Jiang Shiwei fearfully placed the lunch box and water in his hands on the table in the outer room, and then went into the inner room.
"Grandma!"
"Grandma! How could you just abandon me like this!"
"Grandma, hold on, I...I'll take you to see a doctor right now."
Jiang Shiwei touched his grandmother, whose body was still warm, and was just about to hold her in his arms and go out to find a psychic with healing powers when he heard a voice coming from outside the house.
"You can't save her."
Ye Youbai's voice was very cold, as if he was stating the facts.
Jiang Shiwei was stunned when he heard this, and turned to look at Ye Youbai and Ji Sijian who had stood behind him at some point.
"you......"
When did they follow?
How come he didn't notice?
Why did she say grandma couldn’t be saved?
Ye Youbai didn't have the chance to answer Jiang Shiwei's question. Although Jiang Shiwei only said two words, Ye Youbai knew what he wanted to say next.
"A person who is determined to die cannot be saved." Ye Youbai touched Jiang Shiwei's grandmother's forehead and said softly.
"Even if she's rescued, she'll be like a walking corpse. Is this the same grandma you know?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiwei was stunned. What did this mean?
Could she rescue her grandma?
Who will be the grandma who comes back?
"you......"
Jiang Shiwei hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Can you...can you save my grandma?"
Ye Youbai nodded after hearing this.
In fact, she didn't understand why she should save someone who wanted to die?
Although this person is your only relative in this world, shouldn't you respect other people's choices in some matters?
"As long as you can save my grandma, I will work like a slave for you and be at your disposal." Jiang Shiwei said with determination.
He didn't believe that his grandma would leave him alone in this world. His grandma once said that she would accompany him through the end of the world, and he also promised that as long as the end of the world was over, their good days would come.
However, just when he discovered the cheap water and delicious boxed lunches, his grandma had already passed away. How could he possibly stay calm?
Ye Youbai shrugged helplessly after hearing this. She took out a piece of meat-like substance from her storage ring and placed it in Jiang Shiwei's hand. She then said calmly, "Give it to your grandma. If you're lucky, she'll come back to life."
"What if we're unlucky?" Jiang Shiwei asked.
"If you're unlucky, it might turn into a monster. Then you'll need to kill it with your own hands."
After Ye Youbai finished speaking, he walked towards the outer room. Ji Sijian didn't say a word from beginning to end, but followed Ye Youbai quietly.
It was not until they reached the outer room that Ji Sijian whispered in Ye Youbai's ear, "My Xiaobai is so mean."
Ye Youbai: “…”
In fact, she has plenty of pills on her. Wouldn’t it be nice to give them to those who want to survive?
What's the point of saving someone who wants to die?
Although she didn't know why Jiang Shiwei's grandmother wanted to die, it might be because she was bewitched, or because she felt that she was a burden to Jiang Shiwei, or because she had lived enough.
She likes people who want to live hard no matter how big the difficulties are, and does not like people who want to die when they encounter a little difficulty. Although the end of the world is difficult, it is precisely because of the difficulties of the end of the world that people need the care of their loved ones even more.
Jiang Shiwei was in the house. He looked at the piece of meat in his hand, and then looked at his grandmother who was lying on the bed and had already passed away.
"Is this mermaid flesh?"
"Are there really mermaids in this world?" Jiang Shiwei stared at the piece in his hand and muttered.
He had heard such a fairy tale when he was very young. It said that eating mermaid flesh could not only make one immortal, but also bring the dead back to life. However, there was a price to pay and one had to be cursed.
Because most people will turn into man-eating monsters after eating mermaid flesh, and only a small number of people can achieve immortality and come back to life.
"Do you want to give it to grandma?"
Jiang Shiwei kept thinking in his mind. He wanted to resurrect his grandma, but he didn't want her to turn into a monster after resurrection.
Ye Youbai and Ji Sijian sat down on the chairs in the outer room, drinking tea and eating snacks while quietly waiting for Jiang Shiwei to make a decision.
In fact, this is not a difficult decision for an ambitious person.
This was not the first time that Ye Youbai gave mermaid meat to others. Basically, everyone ate the mermaid meat themselves and then turned into a monster.
Of course, the monster's final fate was to be killed on the spot by Ye Youbai.
So far, only two or three people have eaten their dead family members, but after eating them, they all turned into monsters.
And what will Jiang Shiwei in the inner room choose?
Just after Ye Youbai took a sip of tea, Jiang Shiwei suddenly walked out of the room, with the piece of mermaid meat still lying quietly in his hand.
Ye Youbai: “???”
Didn’t eat?
Are you afraid to eat it, or don’t want to?
Ji Sijian: “???”
Is there anyone in this world who can withstand the test of resurrection and immortality?
Just as Ye Youbai and Ji Si were thinking about it, Jiang Shiwei suddenly said, "I'll give you this piece of mermaid meat. I don't think I need it."
Ye Youbai raised her eyebrows when she heard this. This was the only piece of mermaid meat she had given away that was returned to her.
"oh?"
