Chapter 419: Dilemma Anxiety
Ji Changqing told He Rui everything about the farce that happened between the siblings in the psychiatric department, and also explained why he had pretended to be unconscious before.
Of course, he concealed the most crucial part. He really couldn't bear to watch He Rui unbuttoning another man's belt.
"...The main concern is that after we lose our abilities, the military will turn their guns against us." Ji Changqing said lightly, his fingertips gently stroking the corner of He Rui's clothes in his palm.
"So, I'll just pretend to be unstable, wait for a few more waves of beasts to come, and then find the right time to completely disable myself in front of the military and see what kind of faces they'll reveal."
As for the communicator, he explained, "If you put it into the area, you won't receive any messages about the presence of resources.
Carry it with you and it will be located in real time.
That's why I just threw it there.
Anyway, within the scope of the domain, I can retrieve it anytime when needed."
Their eyes met in the dim room. He Rui hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, "Tietie, why are you always worried that your ability will disappear?"
He tilted his head. "I've never considered whether my healing ability might disappear one day. Brother Ji, are you being a little overly anxious?"
Ji Changqing's eyelashes drooped slightly, and a faint arc appeared at the corner of his lips. "I'm just... scared." His voice was so soft that it almost melted into the night. "I'm afraid that everything I have now - my strength and happiness - will suddenly disappear one day."
This sentence hit He Rui's heart like a stone. He quickly put his hand on Ji Changqing's shoulder and spoke faster, "It's okay, brother! You're just worrying too much! Even if we really lose our territory, it's okay. If you're worried about the military causing trouble, then we can just find a place to live in seclusion."
We stockpiled so much supplies back then that even if the land never produces anything, it would be enough for the two of us to eat for a lifetime!
Besides, I'm here! I'll protect you if you're in danger! Next time, I promise to stay by your side every step of the way!
Ji Changqing looked quietly at the young man in front of him who was talking non-stop and comforting himself. His cold brows softened unconsciously and he smiled and nodded softly.
"It suddenly occurred to me..." He Rui's eyes lit up, "Actually, regarding the question of whether your ability will disappear, I think you can ask BGM. He might know the answer.
I got the news about you during the earthquake from it.
It's quite powerful, with special access to information, and it knows quite a lot."
He always felt that regarding the mysterious origin of his brother Ji, this BGM, which also had an unknown origin, should be more clear.
Ji Changqing's eyes flickered slightly, his emotions fluctuated for a moment, but he quickly calmed down: "Okay, you try it."
He Rui nodded and released his hand on the other person's shoulder.
Seeing his brother staring down at his hand, he explained, "Have you forgotten? This creature is terribly afraid of you. It goes silent when I touch you. I guess you really have the power to destroy it."
Taking the paper and pen that Ji Changqing kindly handed to him, he sat cross-legged on the bed, illuminated by the white light ball floating in the other's palm, and prepared to record the telegraph code.
But after waiting for a long time, the BGM was still silent and no music played.
He Rui chuckled knowingly and soothed the air, "Don't be a coward, just cooperate honestly and confess everything. If my brother really wanted to deal with you, he would have done it long ago."
After a few seconds, the melody of the love song slowly sounded.
He Rui was used to hearing this kind of music and didn't think it was a big deal, but now, under his brother's gaze, he was listening to this kind of music. He Rui felt inexplicably ashamed, and the tips of his ears felt slightly hot.
He quickly shifted his focus, staring blankly at the wall. "BGM, let me ask you, will my brother's absolute domain disappear in the future? Is there even a chance it could disappear?"
You must tell me the answer 100% honestly, no lies, and if you are not sure, just say you don’t know.”
The music in his mind turned into a regular series of telegraph sounds. He Rui listened carefully and wrote down the telegraph codes one by one in his notebook.
The people around me obviously also care about the answer of BGM.
She sat down beside him silently, lowered her dark eyes, and stared at the long string of numbers he wrote without blinking.
0008
2585

No, will, disappear, lose
After deciphering these four words in his mind, He Rui's expression instantly became filled with uncontrollable joy. He opened his arms and rushed towards Ji Changqing, hugging him tightly.
After hugging for two seconds, he stepped back a little, looked at his brother with shining eyes, and excitedly announced the good news.
"BGM said your ability will never disappear! You don't have to worry about it anymore!"
Ji Changqing stared deeply at the young man's face, which seemed to be able to sweep away all the haze and bloom a brilliant smile for him. His heart seemed to be gently hit by something and began to beat uncontrollably.
He subconsciously put his arms around He Rui's waist.
The bad thing was that even if he got a good answer, he couldn't completely let go of his worries because he didn't trust the answer that thing gave them.
Noticing the other party's indifferent reaction, He Rui gradually calmed down and sighed inwardly.
After all, I am not strong enough.
If he could fight a hundred people at once and had the strength to protect his brother from any threat, then his brother would definitely not worry about safety anymore and would no longer be so anxious about gains and losses, and would be able to rely on him with peace of mind.
If the shelter became an enemy, and if the atomic bomb was usable, he would fire it at them, but his brother's ability just happened to be unusable at that time.
Then I guess they won’t even be able to keep their ashes.
However, highly destructive weapons such as nuclear weapons and hypersonic weapons probably cannot be used due to the post-disaster environment.
After all, if it can be used, then just fire a few shells and destroy the beast tide in advance. Wouldn’t the shelter be conquered by mutant animals and destroyed?
Not only modern technology, but also weapons are restricted.
He Rui added some concepts to the term "civilization regression" mentioned by his brother Ji.
Suddenly I realized that it was no wonder that when they encountered an evolver who could deal with the beast tide, all parties on the other side of the communicator were so excited and couldn't remain calm.
In the end times when nuclear weapons are no longer effective, a powerful being like Ji Changqing is like a walking strategic weapon...
"What are you thinking about?" The sudden tightening force on his waist brought He Rui back to his senses. He subconsciously grabbed the other person's arm and began to explain.
"I'm thinking, you're a human nuclear bomb right now. No wonder the military has that attitude. I guess not just China, but the whole world will want to maintain friendly relations with a popular figure like you."
I don’t know what the disaster situation is like in other countries.
He Rui wanted to pull off the hands that were holding him like a seat belt around his waist.
"That is also based on the premise that I have the power." Ji Changqing said lightly.
He Rui's face instantly fell. "I won't get stuck in this rut with you. Tietie, let go. I still have some questions for BGM."
