Yunlong clumsily filled all three bottles with well water, ate two apples, then lay on his side on the bed, facing Liu Anran. Looking at Liu Anran lying motionless on the ground, he called out worriedly, "Mom, Mom."
Yunlong didn't hear Liu Anran answer him, and his heart jumped. He called out cautiously again, "Mom, Mom, are you alright?"
Liu Anran still didn't respond to Yunlong, and Yunlong's heart began to panic. Was his mother dead?
Will they turn into monsters like Grandpa Li and Aunt Huang next door?
Thinking of this, Yunlong felt a sense of panic. He quickly climbed out of bed, went to Liu Anran's side, gently nudged her, and looked at Liu Anran's pale face before he could even speak. Then he looked at the empty space and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Mom, Mom, wake up! Yunlong is scared. Mom, you promised Yunlong you wouldn't abandon me."
"Mom, where is Dad? Why doesn't he protect us? Mom, get up, let's go find Dad and ask him to protect us. Mom, Yunlong is scared..."
Yunlong sat next to Liu Anran, crying incessantly, as if he would cry until he had no tears left.
Liu Anran felt as if her body was being roasted on a fire, her blood boiling, making her want to scream in agony. But she held back so as not to frighten Yunlong. Just when she was about to collapse, she heard Yunlong's cries, which sounded so heartbroken and distressed.
She tried to open her eyes and tell Yunlong not to cry, but her lips moved but she couldn't make a sound, as if her soul and body were separated!
Liu Anran was extremely anxious. What should she do? She was planning to send Yunlong out of the space when the zombie virus broke out. Was she going to die in the space and let Yunlong die with her?
I can't let Yunlong die with me; that would be unfair to Yunlong!
The physical and mental torment caused Liu Anran to let out a painful wail: "Ahhh..." Yunlong was so startled by Liu Anran's sudden scream that he forgot to cry and stared at Liu Anran in a daze.
Liu Anran finally opened her eyes and weakly called out, "Yunlong!"
When Yunlong heard Liu Anran call him, the fear on his face lessened considerably. He threw himself at Liu Anran and cried, "Mom, no matter how I call you, you won't answer me. I thought you would die like Grandpa Li and the others and turn into a monster."
"Mommy, I don't want you to become a monster. Mommy, let's go find Daddy, okay? Let Daddy protect us and help us fight the monster."
"Mom, promise me you won't leave me. I'm scared to be alone."
Liu Anran's eyes were so red they looked like they were bleeding. She felt she couldn't concentrate and her consciousness was starting to wander. She bit her tongue hard to force herself to stay awake.
“Yunlong, listen carefully. Your father is Chu Yunxiao, a great hero. When you meet him, show him the jade gourd you are wearing around your neck.”
When Liu Anran mentioned the jade gourd, she suddenly remembered that in the book, Yunlong's jade gourd was tricked by the female protagonist, who accidentally discovered that the jade gourd was a space. Although she couldn't enter the space, there was a spiritual spring inside.
What is a spiritual spring? A spiritual spring is an extremely rare and precious thing!
Liu Anran's eyes lit up at this thought! She was saved!
"Yunlong, take out the jade gourd you're wearing around your neck?"
Yunlong obediently took the jade gourd out of his clothes.
Looking at the jade gourd that Yunlong had taken out, Liu Anran said impatiently, "Make a little blood out of your finger and then drip the blood onto the jade gourd."
Yunlong glanced at his fingers and then saw the fruit knife that Liu Anran had put into her spatial storage. He ran over, took it, and returned to Liu Anran, handing the knife to her.
"Mom, I'm afraid of the pain and I don't dare to poke my hand. Can you poke it for me?"
Liu Anran bit her tongue again, and her drowsy mind cleared up considerably in an instant. She said, "Yunlong, help me cut the strip."
Yunlong carefully cut the strip of cloth from Liu Anran's hand.
Liu Anran's wrist was numb from being bound by the cloth strip. She moved her wrist to restore blood circulation, and then carefully and gently cut a small incision on Yunlong's wrist with a fruit knife.
Yunlong's finger was cut, but it didn't hurt as much as he had imagined. His tense body relaxed, and he said to Liu Anran, "Mom, it hurts a little bit, but not much!"
Looking at Yunlong's red, tear-filled eyes, Liu Anran felt a pang of heartache. She dripped the blood from Yunlong's finger onto the jade gourd, where it was absorbed and transformed into a beam of light that shot towards Yunlong's chest.
Liu Anran's face lit up with ecstasy. She had succeeded!
Yunlong was stunned!
Where did his jade gourd go? If the jade gourd is gone, he can't go find his father!
Liu Anran held a cup and said to Yunlong, "Yunlong, don't think about anything. Don't think about danger, monsters, or hunger. Concentrate on your mind and think about me entering the space. After we arrive at an unfamiliar place, think about me leaving the space."
Yunlong was naturally clever. As soon as Liu Anran mentioned it, he immediately thought of how he and Liu Anran had suddenly appeared in this unfamiliar place while in the supermarket, where there were still some things they used to have.
Yunlong's eyes lit up at this thought, and a sudden idea struck him. Could this be the space his mother had mentioned? He looked at Liu Anran and asked, "Mom, is this your space? Do I have a space too?"
Liu Anran wasn't sure if the jade gourd was a spatial artifact, so she said, "Try it and you'll know if you have one or not."
Upon hearing this, Yunlong clasped his hands together in front of his chest and looked at Liu Anran. Liu Anran was in agony, her fists clenched so tightly that the veins on the back of her hands bulged, and her face began to turn pale. She seemed to hear Yunlong's blood flowing, and even longed to taste it.
Liu Anran felt she was losing control. She forced a smile at Yunlong, but the smile was very stiff.
Yunlong closed his eyes and whispered, "I want to enter the space!"
Liu Anran was surprised to see Yunlong disappear before her eyes as soon as he finished speaking. Wasn't the novel describing a space that couldn't be entered?
Why was Yunlong able to enter the space? Could it be that the female lead isn't of the Chu family bloodline, so she can't fully open the space? Or perhaps the female lead's character is flawed...?
Liu Anran thought about it a lot, but couldn't figure out the reason. She could only attribute it to Yunlong's incredible luck.
