Chapter 107
"So, this green sun will cause mutations in those who come into contact with it, and the result of the mutation is werewolf?"
For safety reasons, Zhou Yuli closed all the windows.
The whole room fell into darkness. Pei Zhao leaned on Zhou Yuli's shoulder and stroked him every time.
"Maybe. I wonder if those people will change back to normal at night." Zhou Yuli replied calmly, "Fortunately we chose to live in a high place. This place is much more dangerous than we thought."
Zhou Yuli picked up two fruits left over from yesterday and handed them to Pei Zhao.
Pei Zhao touched the two fresh and juicy fruits.
Thinking about the fact that they were bathed in this rather strange green light every day, I suddenly lost my appetite and felt like vomiting.
"...I don't want to eat anymore." Pei Zhao curled his lips, "Who knows if there has been any mutation."
So Zhou Yuli put down the fruit.
There was silence between the two of them for a while. Zhou Yuli listened and saw Pei Zhao's breathing gradually stabilize. At the same time, he judged from the slight sound of his blinking that Pei Zhao was not asleep.
But Zhou Yuli still asked: "Pei Zhao, are you asleep?"
"No."
"Want to talk?"
It was a pitch-black room, they couldn't see each other's expressions, it was quiet, and apart from the drowsy Miu Yi, no one else was present.
It's a good time to talk about your heart.
"Yeah." Pei Zhao turned around, looked towards Zhou Yuli's position in the darkness, and met his eyes.
There was silence in the air for a moment. Neither of them spoke. Zhou Yuli was choosing his words while Pei Zhao gave Zhou Yuli time to organize his thoughts.
"I want to apologize to you first," Zhou Yuli's low and serious voice came after a while.
Pei Zhao raised his eyebrows: "What are you apologizing for?"
"I shouldn't be paranoid, because I have a clear understanding of my own identity and gradually lost my understanding of myself."
"You finally realized this?" Pei Zhao originally wanted to talk to Zhou Yuli about this after everything was over, but he didn't expect that he realized it himself. He was a little happy and used his free hand to pinch Zhou Yuli's waist.
"That's great." Pei Zhao gently pinched him twice, "Our classmate Xiao Zhou is awesome."
In the darkness, Zhou Yuli curled the corners of his mouth. Pei Zhao's heartfelt praise made him feel satisfied from the inside out. I quickly took the opportunity to carefully report the results of last night's reflection.
"I've thought it through. I want to become better, give you a better life, and make myself more adaptable to this society. If possible, I want to be your only support for the rest of your life."
Pei Zhao's face turned red, and there were some tears in his eyes.
Zhou Yuli's sudden confession made Pei Zhao regain the passion of love between Zhou Yuli that he had not felt for a long time.
"We've been arguing a lot these days, and sometimes I even wonder if I don't understand your position enough. Many of the criticisms against you are not suitable for you." Pei Zhao said, "But from beginning to end, I have never regretted bringing you back and turning you into a human being in various ways."
For a puppet to become a human, it needs love without any distractions.
The fact that Zhou Yuli was still sitting here quietly proved that despite countless quarrels, they had never doubted their love for each other.
"I have never regretted it," said Zhou Yuli.
"Sometimes I wonder if you apologize sometimes just because you are afraid of turning into a puppet again." Pei Zhao continued, "I can't tell your sincerity. I always want to believe that it will never change."
Perhaps due to family reasons, Pei Zhao rarely talks about such uncertain topics. He hates change and is disgusted by change. But now, he said to Zhou Yuli.
"I'm afraid, so sometimes I'm always a little harsh on you." Pei Zhao snuggled into Zhou Yuli's arms, "Zhou Yuli, I apologize to you. I'm afraid of losing you, but the way I want to keep you is always not so appropriate."
"That's not the case. You did a good job." Zhou Yuli said. He hated change more than Pei Zhao. "I will love you forever, and I won't stop until you stop loving me."
…
A few more wolf howls were heard outside the house.
Zhou Yuli moved his hands and gently covered Pei Zhao's ears.
Pei Zhao was lying on his chest, sleeping soundly.
Hanging on the ceiling, Miu Yi, who had recovered his energy, was half-opening his pair of red eyes and teasing Zhou Yuli in a cold tone.
"You are kidnapping my brother." The little bat's voice was sharp and thin, but because he was afraid of waking Pei Zhao, he deliberately used a whisper, sounding gentle.
"There is no trafficking." Zhou Yuli corrected him, "This is love."
"Humph, you're lying." Miu Yi hated to hear about the topic of 'love' the most, and he sneered when he heard it, "You keep talking about love. Let me tell you, my brother said that loving someone who is already good is love!"
Zhou Yuli smiled.
He had just told Pei Zhao to let go of his obsession. Now he had no desire to argue with Miu Yi, and just said calmly: "You will understand when you grow up."
As he spoke, Zhou Yuli raised one hand to touch Miu Yi's hair, but Miu Yi dodged with red eyes.
"Don't touch me. I'm alert now and it might be dark outside."
They have nothing to tell time except their cell phones. But his cell phone was out of battery, and Pei Zhao's cell phone should be in his trouser pocket.
Zhou Yuli felt Pei Zhao's steady breathing, and for some reason, he reached out for Pei Zhao's pants.
down……
"What are you doing?" Pei Zhao's voice suddenly rose in his ears, and one hand grabbed Zhou Yuli's wrist.
The room was dark, but Zhou Yuli could even feel Pei Zhao's burning gaze.
"I... look at the time." Half of Zhou Yuli's hand was still in the pocket of Pei Zhao's tight jeans, and his face was flushed.
"Really?" Pei Zhao asked with a half-believing and half-doubting tone, with a slightly rising ending tone, which sounded more like catching someone or teasing.
"......Yeah." Zhou Yuli nodded with difficulty. Pei Zhao took out his cell phone from his pocket, pushed open the screen and took a look.
The battery indicator on the upper right corner of the phone was almost red. Pei Zhao glanced at the main interface and the phone immediately popped up the shutdown interface.
Pei Zhao: “…”
Zhou Yuli: “…”
Pei Zhao slowly put the phone back and said calmly, "I just had time to take a quick glance. Twelve hours have passed since sunrise."
"Twelve hours..." Zhou Yuli calculated in his mind, "According to the sunrise time, the sun may not have completely set outside now?"
"It's okay to open it and take a look," Pei Zhao said, but he obviously had no intention of opening it and taking a look. He just turned over and huddled in Zhou Yuli's arms again. "But it's too dangerous outside. I think we should wait until late at night."
"Okay." Zhou Yuli didn't force it. He just lay down with Pei Zhao in his arms and chose to close his eyes and sleep.
Miu Yi, who had watched the entire process, stared with a pair of red eyes: "Ah? You guys are giving up just like that!"
No one answered him, and he was just asking for trouble, so he could only continue hanging upside down on the roof.
Fallacy: Missing the coffin in the puppet shop, first day.
·
Late night finally arrived as expected.
Pei Zhao was starving after not eating or drinking for a day.
"We have to go out tonight, otherwise we will starve to death here sooner or later."
There is no powered equipment and no concept of time.
Zhou Yuli opened the window and exposed the wooden vine to the silver moonlight for a full five sixty seconds. Only after he was relieved to make sure that no mutation had occurred did he finally feel relieved.
"Come out, it should be fine outside."
Only then did he feel at ease to let Pei Zhao go out.
Another tree house opened, and Bai Zhou and Lan Ji jumped down from it.
Zhou Yuli carried Pei Zhao down.
One of the water collectors under the tree was damaged, but the remaining two were still in use.
Pei Zhao opened it and took a look.
"The water inside looks clean and can be drunk tonight. Bring this up here tonight. Zhou Yuli and I will find some planks and we will build a platform on top."
"Okay." Lan Ji agreed, "Then let's go find some more fruit and eat something?"
Pei Zhao had an indescribable expression, but he was indeed very hungry. He secretly made up his mind to remember to bring food next time, at least a bag of compressed biscuits!
"Go ahead." But now, he could only admit defeat. "By the way, take a look at the situation over there. Remember to be careful. I don't know if those werewolves will go berserk at night."
Lan Ji and Bai Zhou received their tasks and left. Miu Yi also transformed into a human form to relax. "Brother, if tomorrow is still like this, should we ask Brother Bai to leave a light on for us tonight? Otherwise, it will be too painful to be in the dark all day."
Pei Zhao was operating the sharp mirror to cut a dry and thick tree in half.
Move it horizontally to the front of the tree house with the flat side facing up.
Putting the two ends on the tree branches, Zhou Yuli tightly wrapped them with vines: "That's it."
Pei Zhao tried to shake it left and right, but the board remained stable and motionless.
"It's stable! There's still one!" The two of them worked together to lift up the other one and fixed it. In this way, a stable and flat platform was formed.
"Let's set up campfires on both sides. Even if someone comes up here in the middle of the night, they will make noises that we will notice." Pei Zhao said, "I'll seal the middle with a mirror. That way, we can still have a door between the two rooms during the day."
Zhou Yuli and Miu Yi had no objections. All day long, they had to communicate through shouting, which was extremely uncomfortable.
The mirror was sealed from front to back, left to right, with a small opening on top. Zhou Yuli wrapped a circle of vines around it so that he could move it away at any time to observe the light outside.
When Lan Ji and Bai Zhou came back, they saw two very realistic tree houses with a beautiful and tidy small platform in front of them.
Pei Zhao was squatting on the platform fiddling with the campfire. When he saw Bai Zhou and the others, he was about to call them up, but he noticed that their expressions were not good.
"What happened?" Pei Zhao realized something was wrong and asked quickly.
"A lot of people died outside," Lan Ji said, his face pale. "Some were torn in half, and some were hanged on books."
Their expressions seemed to show that they had seen something very scary. Bai Zhou continued, "Their abilities are extraordinary. We also saw a spider web that was bigger than a human, with only a skull on it."
In just one day, the rainforest covered with green vegetation seemed to have turned into a hell on earth.
On the way back, Lan Ji and Bai Zhou couldn't believe that this was the place they had been before.
