Not to mention that humans are more prone to depression in dark environments. People who never see sunlight for years may even die from depression. Psychological problems are more difficult to treat than physical illnesses. If all of humanity in the world were to become depressed, the suicide rate would be even higher.
Humanity will kill itself without any other type of natural disaster.
Qiao He could foresee this future, but he didn't know what it would actually become.
Xiaxia might know, but they can't contact Shen Tang and the others at all right now.
I don't know what the situation is like at the base.
Shen Huai said in a low voice, "What do we do next? Leave here first, or..."
Qiao He asked, "How is Li Zong doing?"
"Huahua gave him some basic treatment, but Li Zong hasn't woken up yet. His injuries are too severe, and he needs to rest," Shen Huai said slowly.
Qiao He said she understood.
"Second Brother, you should go and rest. I'll stay and watch over them." Qiao He knew that Shen Huai's condition was already very bad. He was also injured, and it could be said that everyone was injured. However, Shen Huai did not go to rest immediately but instead stayed to keep watch.
As long as Qiao He doesn't wake up, Shen Huai will probably not rest for a single day.
Shen Huai wanted to say something more, but when he saw Qiao He's eyes, he suddenly relaxed and said, "I understand."
A smile appeared on Qiao He's delicate and pretty face: "Okay, go ahead, I'll stay here, and the kids are great too."
"Don't worry about us so much, Second Brother. Your health is the most important thing. If you collapse, how are we supposed to kill Ye Hong and the others?"
Shen Huai hummed in agreement: "That makes sense, I'll go rest now!"
Then Shen Huai went to bed and went to sleep. He originally thought he wouldn't be able to sleep, but he fell into a deep sleep the next second.
Qiao He thought to herself: This sleep quality is really good.
After resting for a while, Qiao He felt a little hungry, so she took out some boxed lunches from her spatial storage and ate them.
I also gave the kittens canned food and cat food, and the little guys ate with great relish.
Although the kittens could eat human food with her after they took on human form, they clearly preferred canned cat food and cat treats.
Just like human children, they prefer candy and spicy snacks to regular meals.
After Qiao He finished eating and drinking, he went to check on Bo Shiwu's condition.
The man's complexion seemed much better than yesterday, but it was still very bad.
His breathing was so weak that, without a close look, one might think he had been dead for a long time.
There weren't many wounds on his body, but Bo Shiwu's fatal injury was in his head.
There is currently no one who can treat him.
Qiao He felt terrible and guilty. She should have led everyone to escape the forest quickly instead of looking for the mushroom's true form.
The reason why Bo Shiwu has become what it is today is inseparable from Qiao He's decision.
She knew that along the way, some people would inevitably get hurt, and some might even die.
Can……
I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
They hadn't even caught up with Ye Hong and Qiao Yuan when they encountered so many mutated creatures on the road.
All of this is due to the blue substance.
What exactly are those things?
Qiao He reached out and gently touched Bo Shiwu's forehead. Her temperature was a little low, but she didn't have a fever; she was just unconscious.
It seems there is no inflammation in her body, otherwise Bo Shiwu would have developed a high fever by now.
Qiao He took out a damp towel and gently wiped Bo Shiwu's face, neck, and hands.
His clothes were all dirty, covered in mud.
His skin was filthy, looking like he had been rolling around in a mud pit.
As Qiao He watched, she suddenly felt like laughing, but she didn't. Instead, she gave a smile that was even uglier than a grimace.
Bo Shiwu is someone who always likes to put on a brave face.
Now that I think about it carefully, he was probably like everyone else, already affected when he was attacked by the mushrooms.
However, the mushrooms growing on Bo Shiwu's body were even more well hidden, so he chose to keep it a secret from Qiao He, not telling her that he also had those terrible mushrooms growing on his body.
In an attempt to save everyone, he ventured alone into the forest, only to be tricked by a trap set by mushrooms.
Bo Shiwu must have struggled desperately, but he probably didn't expect the mushroom to produce mycotoxins that would attack his brain nerves.
But after the mycelium was drilled into her temple, Thin Mist lost consciousness.
He was like a computer that had been turned off, his whole body falling into a deep sleep.
Qiao He wiped Bo Shiwu's face, hands, and feet clean, hoping he would feel more comfortable.
Then Qiao He gently grasped Bo Shiwu's hand, hoping he would wake up soon.
I really hope so...
There was nothing wrong with the thin fog.
Qiao He let go of Bo Shiwu's hand and asked the system, "System, do you know what the Azure Matter is?"
The system seemed to be silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, "I don't know."
"Why do you need this? How did you choose me to be your host?" Qiao He continued to ask.
The system's calm, mechanical voice sounded: "My instincts tell me that I need this substance. Of course, I can also choose not to, but if I don't, we will become weaker and it will be harder for us to survive in this world."
"As for how to choose you," the system's voice turned low.
"I think it might be fate. The moment I woke up, I heard your voice."
Qiao He was slightly taken aback. "What? What was that sound?"
System: "A desperate and sorrowful voice came from the darkness. You want to live."
"Your first thought was to survive." The system's voice evoked Qiao He's memories.
Yes, she wanted to live.
Even in her past life, when she was in such a miserable state, she would eat anything that was edible, no matter if it was dirty, contaminated, or expired and spoiled.
As long as I can fill my stomach, I can live for another day or two.
Qiao He was content.
She was like a weed, struggling to survive, just to stay alive in this terrible world.
Now she has saved her eight kittens, met such a kind person as Bo Shiwu, and found her family.
Qiao He, who once longed for family affection, has finally experienced the love of her family.
She was simply trying to survive.
But now, with so many people she cares about, does she really just want to survive?
Humans are always greedy.
Qiao He now not only wants to avenge Lin Qiao, but also wants to protect everyone around her.
She was no longer just trying to survive.
The burden on her shoulders grew heavier and heavier, but Qiao He didn't feel tired.
Because she did it willingly.
As long as the people she cares about can live and thrive, that's enough for her.
