Chapter 222 241. A time of despair and helplessness
After finishing his meal and cleaning up, Qi Yanxin started his "work".
Xu Zhi had nothing to do, so he could only keep his extraordinary abilities running while watching Qi Yanxin's movements in boredom.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the broadcast outside sounded again.
——Attention, fellow citizens!
A very serious, neutral, mechanical voice came from the radio.
——It has been confirmed that this foggy season is: a season of despair and helplessness.
——The night is waiting for us, and things are not going well. Please be careful and don't let doubts grow.
The above paragraph was repeated three times before the broadcast ended.
Xu Zhi was confused, but when he turned to look at Qi Yanxin, he found that she seemed relieved.
"So what did that radio thing mean?"
It's too confusing! I can't understand it at all!
She hates everything about Riddler except the narrator!
Qi Yanxin put down what he was holding and patiently explained, "Based on past experience and official announcements, during the Season of Despair, everyone's fear will be amplified, and many things that you wouldn't be afraid of before will also terrify you."
"If you already have something you're afraid of, stay away from it even more."
"Because during this period, the feeling of fear will not subside, but will only become more and more severe, making people trapped in this feeling of fear all day long. When the emotion reaches a certain level, it will turn into despair."
"I heard that many people who felt hopeless committed suicide, and some died at home out of sheer terror."
"Some people, out of sheer despair, have done some very inhumane things."
When Qi Yanxin said this, his expression looked like he was recalling something bad: "Anyway, try not to let yourself fall into doubt, because that will breed fear, and fear will turn into despair."
In the past, she was most afraid of this season, because every time this time came, she would always recall the most helpless moments in her life. But now with Xu Zhi, her new spiritual support makes her no longer afraid of this season.
"I was worried it might be sickness season, but thankfully it's not, or it would be troublesome."
Xu Zhi's body could not withstand the ravages of the disease season.
"I see."
Xu Zhi roughly understood what Qi Yanxin wanted to express. What she was thinking about now was what was in the fog and what was mixed in it that led to such a situation and affected people's emotions and thinking?
Where does this fog that spreads across the entire city come from?
What factor in the mist suppressed her pain, allowing her to reabsorb extraordinary energy?
Xu Zhi really wanted to figure this out, but obviously she didn't have the opportunity at the moment.
In the next few days, Xu Zhi did not have any more contact with the fog. Although she was curious, she was not confused. She had no choice but to open the door at that time. It was a gamble. Now that she has won once, there is no need to do anything unnecessary.
The circuits in the body are slowly growing stronger with the nourishment of extraordinary energy. Xu Zhi doesn't know how big the circuits will be after his current extraordinary level is fully restored, but at the current speed, they should be able to recover soon, right?
In the next few days, Xu Zhi was extremely obedient. He took his medicine obediently and controlled his extraordinary ability to absorb power obediently. During this time, he would secretly prick his fingertips with a needle to feed the little alien some blood when he felt better without telling Qi Yanxin.
Whenever this happened, Xu Zhi would be slightly distracted, thinking back to when she was in Yuncheng, she was usually reluctant to spend too much of her blood, and would always complain that the little aliens were too greedy.
But she didn't expect that now, she was willing to let this little guy absorb more.
".It's true that things have changed."
I don't know who he was thinking of in the nostalgic and regretful tone.
Staying in the room every day might be a bit boring for others, but it is not so bad for Xu Zhi and Qi Yanxin. Qi Yanxin has work to do, while Xu Zhi has to spend a lot of his energy on the extraordinary circuit every day.
Because she discovered that if she paid constant attention to the extraordinary circuit, "watched" it grow, and carefully observed the appearance of this pale golden circuit, her brain seemed to gradually become clearer.
My brain has been in a state of confusion since I woke up, and it was even difficult to think during the high fever. Although it was not so chaotic after the fever subsided, the pain did not subside. However, after observing the circuit in the past few days, the pain in my brain is slowly dissipating.
While Xu Zhi marveled at the magic of the [Light] attribute, she observed it more attentively. During this period, she could almost recall what the exquisite and complex circuit in her body looked like and all the details with her eyes closed.
However, even though she was in the room and avoided the fog, Qi Yanxin was still affected to some extent. Specifically, in the past two days, she often woke up in the middle of the night and looked in the direction of Xu Zhi in panic. She would only relax a little after confirming that Xu Zhi was still there and his breathing was stable.
Sometimes her movements were so obvious that Xu Zhi would be awakened. She no longer fell into a coma as before, but with the return of her extraordinary energy, she gradually regained her spirit and became alert again.
She almost always noticed Qi Yanxin every time she woke up, but in order not to make Qi Yanxin too worried, she could only pretend to be sleeping soundly.
As for whether she herself was affected by the fog, strangely enough, she didn't feel any discomfort, at least emotionally, there was nothing wrong.
Is it because of the light?
But we can't have two people with poor mental health in this small house.
In recent days, Qi Yanxin has been visibly distracted during the day, and Xu Zhi has to wake her up in time before her expression changes. When she sees Xu Zhi, Qi Yanxin's eyes will relax, as if she has found a mental anchor.
But soon, Qi Yanxin seemed to become more and more anxious, and she began to fear that something was going to happen.
Xu Zhi had asked and knew what she was worried about. The reason was very simple. The fog had been there for six consecutive days. If it didn't dissipate tomorrow, Xu Zhi would have used up some of her medicine. Logically, she should go to the clinic for a checkup and get new medicine, but the fog didn't dissipate, so they couldn't go out and the clinic wouldn't open.
"What should I do?" The woman's anxiety was almost written on her face.
When she said this, Xu Zhi, who was sitting in a wheelchair with her eyes closed, suddenly trembled her eyelashes. It was not because she was affected by her words, but at this moment, the circuit in her body was completed again, just like a bud growing on a tree again. The last time she recalled the connection with her clan, and this time, she once again "unlocked" an ability she had once possessed.
Xu Zhi slowly opened her eyes, and there was a flash of gold in her light gray pupils. She was not in a hurry to verify the ability she had regained. Now was not a good time, so she turned her head to look at Qi Yanxin who was in worry.
