Chapter 94
Chen Xing looked around the room, trying to find some trace of Lin Bai, but unfortunately, there was nothing in the room except a bed and a clothes hanger. She patted the small yellow bag hanging on the hanger and asked, "Is this also her relic?"
"This belongs to her daughter. After she left, her daughter lived here." Lou Tiannan said stiffly. He hoped that Chen Xing could remember Lin Bai, but he also didn't want Chen Xing to remember Lin Bai.
But it was obvious that Chen Xing knew nothing about Lou Tiannan's thoughts.
Seeing that it was not Lin Bai's thing, she lost interest. Then she saw Lou Tiannan staring at her, with the knuckles of his clenched fists turning white.
Chen Xing thought Lou Tiannan was angry that she had marked him here, so she said, "It's your fault for not telling me it was her room earlier." She pushed the responsibility onto Lou Tiannan without any psychological burden.
Seeing that she had no sense of guilt at all and didn't even care about Lin Bai at all, Lou Tiannan's anger completely threw away his forbearance and restraint.
Snap!
The black flames lit up in his palms, blazing brightly.
Chen Xing's eyelids twitched. She hadn't expected that someone who had endured for so long would actually want to fight. She shifted her gaze to his face and discovered that his lips were slightly swollen from being massaged by her tentacles, and his lips were bright red.
He realized it belatedly: Well, it seemed like she had used her consciousness tentacles to block him from speaking.
Seeing that the man was really angry, Chen Xing's tentacles wrapped around his wrist to stop his dangerous behavior: "Hey! You——"
"Bang!"
Someone slammed the door open from the outside.
Chen Xing responded by turning his head, wondering who was so bold.
I saw a little girl half a person's height standing at the door angrily.
Someone beside her whispered to her, "Xi Ya!"
Xiya... Chen Xing stared at the little girl, thinking of what Lou Tiannan had told her, that the child was born by the woman named Lin Bai.
Chen Xing looked at Xiya, and Xiya also saw the scene in the room clearly.
The bed was a mess, and the air was filled with a mixture of cool and hot scents. Xiya hadn't yet differentiated them, so she couldn't tell the smell of pheromones.
Seeing the two people in the room with disheveled clothes, it looked like they had just had a fierce fight, especially Lou Tiannan...
His upper body was naked, with obvious fingerprint marks on his waist. Blood on his slender neck slid down his collarbone to his chest. The fight with Chen Xing just now had caused blood to stain his collarbone, chest and even lower abdomen.
His upper body was covered in blood and looked seriously injured, and he was even being restrained by Chen Xing.
Seeing Lou Tiannan's miserable state, Xiya was so angry that her face turned red: "Bad woman! Let go of the captain uncle!"
"Bad woman?" Chen Xing asked in a playful tone. When her eyes fell on the doll around her waist, her gaze paused. She was sure that the doll was made by her.
The tentacle picked up Xiya, and the other tentacle reached out to take the doll around Xiya's waist.
Realizing Chen Xing's intention, Xiya immediately resisted fiercely. She raised her hands and shot a line of fire at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing did not dodge. A bolt of lightning fell in front of Chen Xing faster than the line of fire, completely absorbing the energy of the line of fire, and not a single spark splashed on Chen Xing.
Lou Tiannan, who was standing behind Chen Xing, had cold eyes.
"Xingxing, are you okay?" Someone hurried to Chen Xing's side.
Chen Xing saw the person put Xiya down and retracted the tentacles on the doll. He looked up at Claire and asked, "Why are you here?"
Claire stood beside Chen Xing, trying her best to ignore the strong scent of Lou Tiannan's pheromones on her body. She maintained her usual smile and said to her, "The head of the Federation wants to discuss something with you."
Wu Zeyue is looking for her?
Chen Xing was thinking to herself when she felt a warmth on her shoulder and came back to her senses.
Claire had untied her white robe and put it on her, and was carefully tying the belt for her with her eyes lowered.
Seeing Chen Xing looking at him, he explained gently: “Your clothes are dirty and it’s cold outside. Would you like to put them on first?”
Even if Chen Xing hated Claire in her heart, she would not embarrass him in front of outsiders until she found the reason, so she responded silently.
Seeing Chen Xing accept his robe, Claire's smile became more genuine. She asked her from a distance that seemed intimate to others, "Is there anything else here that I need to take care of?"
Chen Xing noticed that the little girl named Xiya had been pulled behind her. She didn't go out to look for her, but walked out without looking back: "No, let's go."
"Okay." Claire was one step behind Chen Xing. When he turned around, he paused and his eyes swept over the marks on Lou Tiannan's body, lingering on the teeth marks on Lou Tiannan's neck. He restrained himself and suppressed the jealousy in his heart. His face calmly met Lou Tiannan's eyes for a few seconds.
They could see the disgust in each other's eyes.
When Chen Xing and Claire left, the Aurora believers who were blocking the door to the room relaxed their guard and left with the two of them.
Only then can the others walk to the door of the room.
Lou Tiannan had already put on his combat uniform, but the room was filled with the pungent pheromones and his neck was bitten to a bloody pulp.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what Lou Tiannan has been through.
Zhou Yu and other members who had been following Lou Tiannan were immediately furious, "Captain Lou, she——"
Lou Tiannan retracted his gaze, interrupted Zhou Yu, and asked, "How is Elena?"
Zhou Yu wanted to shout something more, but Song Yan pulled him back. She replied, "The situation is stable. Xia Xia is watching."
"Just do what you need to do."
Lou Tiannan's words made everyone hold back whatever they wanted to say. Lou Tiannan stood in front of the French window, looking down at Claire busying herself eagerly and intimately for Chen Xing. Thinking of Chen Xing's attitude, his eyes became cold and icy.
…
Aurora's car was driving very fast. With Aurora's people leading the way, they returned to Aurora Church without any obstruction.
When she just woke up from the giant cocoon, Wu Zeyue asked to meet her. Not only her, but many people wanted to meet her. But at that time, her energy state was unstable and her eyes were injured by Lou Tiannan, so she refused to meet everyone.
This time, since the end of the world, Chen Xing saw Wu Zeyue, an elderly woman with obvious wrinkles on her forehead, eyes and cheeks. Chen Xing stared at her for a while and remembered that he had seen her before, when she was very young, when Wu Zeyue was still very young.
They sat across from each other in a small meeting room at Aurora Church.
"Is there something wrong?" Chen Xing asked directly.
Wu Zeyue looked at her, but it seemed as if he was looking at someone else through her.
"You look a lot like her." Wu Zeyue spoke slowly.
Chen Xing frowned with an unhappy expression, and his consciousness tentacles sealed the corners of the small conference room tightly, preventing anyone from eavesdropping.
"Ebona. It's a virus she discovered very early on, present in the bodies of cancer patients around the world. At the time, Ebona was just a tiny, insignificant microorganism. Compared to the cancer cells in the human body, it was nothing to be feared. Until the cancer patients recovered, no one paid attention to its existence, except Xiao Hehua."
"She did a lot of work, proving that Ebona exists in all cancer patients. However, at the time, it didn't seem very threatening, so other researchers didn't take it seriously. Only Xiao Hehua took it very seriously and even set up a dedicated research team."
"Xiao Hehua's emphasis on this was not without reason, as the Federation couldn't find a drug that could destroy Ebona's protein shell. However, not many people understood her at the time."
"She researched day after day and eventually discovered that the virus feeds on blood cells. She thought of destroying Ebona from the inside, but adult blood is difficult to use as a medicinal ingredient, and children are too delicate and weak. So, she thought of cultivating test subjects, using her own eggs and conducting experiments continuously from embryonic stages."
"She failed many times. You are her 103rd experiment, and the only successful one."
"Your blood can corrode the protein shell of Ebona while being consumed by it, thus eliminating the Ebona virus."
"Even though you were trained by her, she still devoted herself to research."
When Chen Xing heard this, her eyes moved slightly, and she asked, "Why?"
Wu Zeyue spoke solemnly, with a hint of sigh in her voice: "She doesn't want her daughter's blood to be the only antidote."
…
Chen Xing returned to the 17th floor of the 621 Pharmacopoeia Research Institute.
She looked at the laboratory behind the glass wall and still remembered the question Xiao Hehua asked her when he drew her blood while she was sitting on the bed in the laboratory - "Are you a mother?"
She also remembered Xiao Hehua's answer, "I'm not."
She never thought that after so many years, and today when Xiao Hehua had passed away, she would hear Xiao Hehua admit their relationship from others.
Her consciousness tentacles kept searching among the snow-covered tables and chairs.
She didn't know what she was looking for. She saw the jewelry that fell into the ashes, the adult toys that fell on the ground, and the storm bottle with crystals on it from her previous visit.
Then, she found a box full of records and documents in a box marked "Pending Processing" under Xiao Hehua's desk in the laboratory.
These are various files that record the shapes of snowflakes.
Before Wu Zeyue left, she asked him a question: "Does she like snow?"
Wu Zeyue didn't understand why Chen Xing asked this question, but she replied, "I like her very much. Before she entered the institute, she was a madman who recorded the snow."
Is that so...is that so?
So why had she never seen it?
With doubts, Chen Xing returned to the 621 Pharmacopoeia Research Institute and found the box of records.
There are more than tens of thousands of photos of snowflakes, and no snowflake has the same shape as the others. Next to the paper are Xiao Hehua's records and hand-drawn pictures.
It is hard to imagine that in a Federation with rapidly developing technology, someone would record tens of thousands of research documents in handwritten form.
She turned the pages one by one, and saw these words on one of the pages: The stars of the Milky Way sink to the earth, to become the freest elves.
free.
Chen Xing blinked slowly. Xiao Hehua spent countless hours studying, forgetting to eat or sleep. Every time she drew blood, she hurried away. She was always so busy, busy with things she didn't understand...
——"It's caused by excessive fatigue... She has been taking nutritional supplements to keep going..."
——"She cares more about the experiment than herself..."
——"She doesn't want her daughter's blood to be the only antidote..."
——"What does the sinking star mean?"
——“It’s snow.”
——"The stars of the Milky Way sink to the earth, to become the freest elves."
"She wants her children to be free, strong and unconstrained." Wu Zeyue's words ring in my ears, deafening.
The silent, surging and majestic love was finally felt by Chen Xing today, twenty-five years late.
It turned out that she had always been loved well by her mother.
