Chapter 145 Golden Right Leg
He Rui felt a little regretful about following Ji Changqing in here, as he felt like there was nowhere to stay.
However, Ji Changqing was extremely calm. He led him towards the stairs as if he didn't see anything, as if he was going upstairs.
Thanks to the height of each floor of the library, the tsunami only reached the second floor.
Some of the books on the top of the fixed bookshelves on the second floor are even still intact.
And the three floors above.
The books on the third, fourth and fifth floors were all kept intact, except for the books on the four sides close to the glass walls, which seemed to have been exposed to the sun. They were yellowed and deformed, and the paper was brittle.
His brother Ji didn't care and just waved his hand, collecting all the books that had not been soaked by sea water into the field layer by layer.
.....
The wind is quite strong.
He Rui sat on the floor on the fifth floor of the library, which had been cleared out to the point that not even a bookshelf was left.
Inside the empty building, the ears were filled with the howling sound of the wind like ghosts and wolves howling.
Ji Changqing, who was sitting next to him, took out bread and water from his backpack and handed them to him, saying, "Just bear with it for now."
He Rui didn't quite understand what the other party meant by "忍仁".
What was he supposed to endure? The wind? The bread? The library?
Or something else?
I didn't understand, but I wasn't curious enough to ask.
He Rui reached out and pushed back the other person's hand that was handing him the food.
"I just saw that huge black mass downstairs, and now I feel sick to my stomach and have no appetite.
"Besides, it's quite troublesome to take off and put on a gas mask. I won't eat this meal for now. Brother Ji, if you don't feel uncomfortable, you can eat first. Don't worry about me. I don't mind skipping a meal." He Rui patted his stomach and said.
The other party was silent.
Because of the mask covering his face, he couldn't see the guy's expression.
He saw that his brother Ji did not put the food away in his bag, but instead put it aside and said to him, "Then eat it later when you want to. We have to stay here for a while."
He Rui nodded, and while looking at the situation outside through the glass walls on all four sides, he asked curiously, "Is there any danger?"
The other party did not hide it, "It's not dangerous. It's going to snow. After the snow stops, we will move to another place."
"Snowing? You can even discover this in advance, you're awesome, buddy." He Rui praised, and his thoughts began to drift away, remembering that before entering this world, it had snowed several times there.
As a result, several months have passed before the first snow of winter fell here.
No wonder Ji Changqing said he would stay for a while. If it was snow, it should have been contaminated by the virus.
"Is there any book you want to read?" the person next to him suddenly asked him again.
He Rui came back to his senses, looked at the fly hood facing him, and shook his head, "No."
The two were silent for a while, and He Rui said again: "How long will this snow last?" I hope it doesn't snow for many days at a time.
The other person replied, “I don’t know.”
He Rui nodded hesitantly, "Oh. I didn't expect there are things you don't know...
Anyway, since there is no danger, why don’t you take a break for a while, take a nap or something, and I will protect you.
I finally found such a great place. In addition to the load-bearing walls, there are glass walls on all four sides. I sit here and have a clear view of the outside. If something like a tornado appears, I will definitely be able to discover it in time. So do you want to get some sleep?"
Under the mask, Ji Changqing felt the other person's emotions and knew that this guy really cared about him. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Just as I was about to refuse the suggestion of rest, I heard He Rui suddenly change the subject, his tone clear, "I understand. Are you afraid that I will attack you after you fall asleep?"
Ji Changqing was stunned when he heard the other party's last sentence. His breathing slowed down and he repeated uncertainly, "A sneak attack on me?"
"Yeah, are you afraid I'll sharpen my knife and cut you in the middle of the night, so you haven't been able to sleep? Ever since I insisted on sharing a room with you, I haven't seen you sleep at all... Is it my fault?"
Ji Changqing was slow to realize that the sneak attack the other party mentioned was not what he thought it meant, but a literal sneak attack.
He couldn't help feeling helpless.
He Rui continued, "But to be honest, I said before that getting used to those corpses was scary, but the scariest thing is actually the change in myself.
I’m afraid that I’m changing so quickly that sooner or later I’ll completely lose my humanity. If that happens, I might get up in the middle of the night and cut you into a Peking duck with a kitchen knife just for some profit…”
He has no way to save his future self, so fundamentally, he doesn't want himself to undergo some bad changes.
He was really afraid that he would become a person like Ji Xinghan, the expert in killing his brother, who repays kindness with hatred and kills with hatred.
He Rui looked worried.
Ji Changqing was a little speechless at He Rui's overly wild imagination and worries.
He couldn't help laughing as he looked at the guy. He couldn't help but stretch out his arms and grab the guy while he was struggling hard. He grabbed the guy and rubbed his head.
"You're overthinking it. What you're thinking about won't happen. The reason I didn't rest wasn't because I was on guard against you. It was simply because I'd been trying to spend as much time as possible expanding and adapting to my field. It had nothing to do with you."
He was more confident than He Rui and believed that this guy would never betray him.
Even if a person with a kind nature becomes bad, how bad can he be?
Ji Changqing thought that the other party might not believe his verbal comfort.
He is ready to demonstrate his trust through concrete actions.
"Then I'll rest for a while. You stay alert outside. Wake me up if there's any danger."
"!! Okay, okay! I will definitely complete the mission!" He Rui swept away his previous frustration and excitedly accepted the task of keeping watch.
The lackey stood up and put the backpack next to him behind Ji Changqing, ready to let Brother Ji lie down and use it as a pillow.
But after pressing the bag, I felt a little uncomfortable.
He also saw with his own eyes that his brother Ji had put a bunch of messy things in the backpack, so it was not surprising that the backpack was not soft.
After thinking for a moment, He Rui suggested, "Brother Ji, I feel like the backpack is a bit uncomfortable to use as a pillow. How about I offer you my golden right leg as a pillow? I can also cut a hole in my glove. As long as you don't mind me touching you, I can provide free music playback service and play you a lullaby or background music."
