Chapter 89 Qi Huo, When Will You Wake Up?
"I'm here."
Although he knew Qi Huo couldn't hear him, Jian Yubai still responded.
Seeing that Qi Huo's face seemed to be even worse than before, Jian Yubai reached out, lightly stroked Qi Huo's cheek with his fingertips, and then stroked his forehead.
The other hand was tightly clasped with Qi Huo's hand.
It was very contradictory. He didn't want to wake Qi Huo up, but he also wanted him to hear his voice: "Qi Huo, I'm here."
Perhaps because he felt the warmth from Jian Yubai's palm, Qi Huo's condition seemed to be slightly better than before. Just as Jian Yubai was hesitating about what to do, the door was pushed open.
"Ah... Jian Yubai, you're here," said Meng Wu and Wang Hong, who didn't know Jian Yubai had woken up. "I saw the guard at the door wasn't here, so I thought he had sneaked away... Are you feeling better?"
"Basically, there's nothing wrong." For fear of waking up Qi Huo, Jian Yubai said, and walked out of the house with Meng Wu and Wang Hong.
"As for the Corpse King incident, since you and the boss both fell into a coma, I reported it to the higher-ups. News spread quickly, and now everyone probably knows that you killed the Corpse King. The higher-ups are very pleased with you and were planning to hold a celebration party, but because you and the boss are still in a coma, they postponed the event."
Hearing Meng Wu's words, Jian Yubai quickly waved his hands, a look of helplessness flashing across his face.
"Hey, I said it at the time. The Corpse King devoured too many rebels and couldn't wear down their will. His body couldn't fully withstand so many superpowers, especially Liu Feng. When he used his superpowers to deal with me, he was backfired and died. How can you say I killed him?"
Although he was indeed the one who killed the Corpse King, in order to avoid others thinking it was too outrageous and arousing suspicion, Jian Yubai did not tell the truth about the cause of the Corpse King's death.
"But the Corpse King died just to deal with you. Everyone knows that," Wang Hong said with a smile. He looked out the window. "I didn't expect to see this scene again."
Jian Yubai also looked outside. For Jian Yubai, the peaceful life in front of him, where he didn't have to worry about the zombies and rebels outside the safe zone, was truly precious.
But for people like Meng Wu and Wang Hong who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years and have seen the deaths of their family members and friends, they must have more feelings in their hearts.
After losing who knows how much, those who still stubbornly or compromisingly live in this world have finally gained the peace that they never dared to hope for before.
"We originally planned to wait for a while, but people seem too excited and are planning to rebuild the danger zone outside. Qu Shang and his technical staff have already left Area C6. Although it may take a while, we are all psychics, so the reconstruction should not be too slow."
Meng Wu said, "One district will be set aside to be turned into a cemetery to commemorate those who died on the battlefield. Although most of their bodies can no longer be found, their names are on the legion's list, and no one will be left behind."
“I see.”
Jian Yubai suddenly remembered that when he first experienced the zombie siege, there was a psychic who was bitten on the leg by a zombie and handed the baby in her arms to him. He also remembered the clear gunshot from behind him after he turned and left.
Also, before, in order to test whether zombies would evolve after eating people with special powers, some people signed a consent form to donate their bodies to the experiment after their death.
"That's great. No one will be left behind."
Jian Yubai said, glancing at the room and asked, "By the way, what's Qi Huo's current condition? I heard from the man guarding the door of my room that Qi Huo just consumed too much of his supernatural power?"
"Well... this is indeed the main reason." Meng Wu responded, looking a little hesitant.
"The main reason?" Jian Yubai was stunned. "Are there any other reasons?"
"It's probably that he was mentally... stimulated a little, but the main reason for his coma was the excessive consumption of his supernatural powers."
"Mental shock?" Jian Yubai frowned and asked, "What happened? Did the higher-ups say something again?"
"No, the boss fell into a coma before he even talked to the higher-ups... He was upset... It was the day we dealt with the Corpse King. Weren't you pulled into the space? The boss couldn't find you, so maybe..."
Meng Wu didn't know whether he should say this to Jian Yubai.
Because he and Wang Hong both discovered that since Jian Yubai returned safely that day, Qi Huo, apart from looking a little nervous at the beginning, did not show any signs of nervousness afterwards and looked no different from normal.
According to what Wang Hong said, Qi Huo probably didn't want Jian Yubai to see that he was upset.
But thinking about the relationship between Jian Yubai and Qi Huo, and now that Jian Yubai had taken the initiative to ask about this matter, Meng Wu hesitated for a moment, but still stammered out the truth.
"Before you showed up that day, the boss was already a little abnormal. At the time, Wang Hong and I didn't know what to do. Later, when you came back safely, the boss returned to his original state, but he must have been... still quite shocked. The medical staff who examined him after he fell into a coma also said so."
Not expecting this to happen, Jian Yubai was stunned for a moment, and then, uncontrollable regret raged in his chest.
He didn't know at the time that he would be teleported to such a far place after coming out of the space, nor did he know that after using the ability to "kill the corpse king", he would be so exhausted that he couldn't even walk.
But he knew that if he had used the "Kill Corpse King" skill to kill the Corpse King at the very beginning, without talking nonsense with him or wasting time with him, he could return to Qi Huo earlier.
Seeing the obvious self-blame on Jian Yubai's face, Wang Hong patted Jian Yubai on the back.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We were facing the Corpse King at the time. There are some things that we can't control. Although the boss was shocked, it was only temporary. There are many days to come. When he wakes up, you should spend more time with him. Nothing will happen to him."
Jian Yubai didn't say anything else, he just nodded at Wang Hong.
Probably thinking that Jian Yubai wanted to go in and accompany Qi Huo, Meng Wu and Wang Hong said a few simple words and then left the dormitory building. Before leaving, they did not forget to give Jian Yubai the few compressed biscuits they had with them.
After saying thank you, Jian Yubai walked into the room, closed the door, and looked at Qi Huo who was lying on the bed.
His face still didn't look very good.
Still having nightmares?
It was difficult for Jian Yubai to explain what his mood was like. He did not sit on the chair anymore, but looked at the space beside the bed and got on the bed.
Then she buried her face in Qi Huo's neck and hugged him tightly.
"Qi Huo, when will you wake up?" Jian Yubai felt like he had a lot to say to Qi Huo, so he said in a muffled voice, "I miss you."
