Chapter 113 He is getting older
The old man stopped cutting the cloth and sat there like a sculpture, accepting the questioning gazes of Song Yuqing, Liu Xiaona, Gaha and Xiao Roubao.
“Are you really that kid Shen She?” Liu Xiaona squatted down and tilted her head to find the old man’s gaze, “How did it become like this?”
The old man lowered his head, avoiding the gazes of several people.
Song Yuqing wanted to say something, but found she couldn't speak. She could only sigh heavily.
The old man touched his forehead and finally raised his face.
“Well, I’m Shen She.”
Song Yuqing's eyes met Shen She's. Although he had guessed the old man's identity, facing this wrinkled and inelastic face, Song Yuqing found it hard to accept it.
After a while, Song Yuqing smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
There was no need for Shen She to explain anything, Song Yuqing already understood what Shen She had experienced.
Ever since he went back in time to rescue Nanjiao, Shen She has embarked on a path of no return.
The more you use the time ability, the more powerful it becomes and the more different skills it can inspire.
Shen She followed Nan Jiao for several months, visiting all the major bases. During that dangerous journey, Shen She activated his time ability many times. His years, his youth, his life, passed quickly with each use of the ability.
Liu Xiaona and Xiao Roubao each carried Shen She into the store and gently sat her down on the chair next to the cashier.
Song Yuqing and Gaha followed behind, and several of them surrounded Shen She.
There were tears in Shen She's eyes. He turned his head away and silently wiped away the tears that were about to fall.
Who would have thought that he would age dozens of years in just a few months.
"Are you in such a hurry to grow up?" Liu Xiaona frowned, feeling both distressed and angry. "This is like forcing something to grow by pulling it up! Have you learned this idiom? Do you know what it means?!"
Song Yuqing held his forehead and was speechless.
Shen She: “…of course I know.”
"You often use your time ability, don't you? Why are you trying to show off? You clearly know that frequently using your time ability will... why do you still do it..." Liu Xiaona slapped her thigh violently, feeling so disappointed in her!
"Why did you separate from Nanjiao, Xie Hao and the others?" Song Yuqing said with a serious face, trying to adopt the attitude of educating a child. This was indeed a bit difficult. Not to mention that Shen She now looked like the older one, and Shen She had experienced countless traumas at such a young age, it was not easy.
Shen She bit her lip, thinking about where to start.
"I'll make it short."
"Yeah." Song Yuqing couldn't help but gently rubbed Shen She's sparse head, wanting to give Shen She some comfort and encouragement.
"It's awkward to do this." Shen She didn't avoid Song Yuqing's hand, but looked up at Song Yuqing's eyes.
Song Yuqing was stunned and shook his head.
"No, no matter how old you are, you will always be our little brother." Liu Xiaona stretched out her hand to cup Shen She's cheek. When his hand touched the loose and cold skin on Shen She's face, he subconsciously wanted to retract it, but he held back.
Shen She reluctantly put away Song Yuqing and Liu Xiaona’s hands: “It’s not necessary, I’m not a child anymore.”
Song Yuqing clearly saw the child who stubbornly said that he had grown up a few months ago on Shen She's old face.
Liu Xiaona felt bitter in her heart. When she was at Base No. 27, Liu Xiaona paid attention to Shen She, the little adult who was moving bricks in the base, but now he is an old child.
Gaha and Xiao Roubao stood aside, blinking silently.
Xiaoyi, mingling with Gaha and Xiao Roubao, blinked, confused. She didn't dare ask for clarification. While she didn't know the relationship between the store manager and the old man, she could clearly see that the atmosphere was heavy. If she rashly broke it, she would surely suffer a backlash.
Song Yuqing patted Shen She's somewhat hunched back and said, "Tell me, we want to know what happened to you? We want to know, do you need our help?"
Why did Shen She use an acid rain-proof umbrella to exchange for one minute of her life?
I'm afraid Shen She doesn't have much time left.
Song Yuqing's guess was correct, Shen She didn't have much time left.
Every time Shen She uses his time ability, he will consume his life.
His supernatural powers are now beginning to decline, just like his body, which is beginning to decline, and the effect of using them is far less than before.
After leaving Base No. 35, Nan Jiao and Xie Hao did not allow him to use his time ability again. However, this journey was like Tang Monk's journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Shen She had to go back to local time again and again to save the people he wanted to save.
Even though he was just a passerby, he couldn't bear to see him die at first.
Kindness accounts for a part, and youthful spirit accounts for a part as well.
He had been with Nanjiao for a long time, and some people at Base Zero had also learned of his existence.
The power of time is so magical!
The research institute of Base Zero sent someone to find Shen She and invited Shen She to participate in the research of Base Zero scientists - as a research subject.
Nan Jiao and Xie Hao strongly opposed this, but Shen She, who had always been obedient and well-behaved, stubbornly made the opposite choice. He followed the people to Base Zero and gave himself to the scientists at Base Zero as the hope of mankind.
The price is...
He is getting older.
This time he came out of Base Zero because he felt that he didn't have much time left and wanted to see God's Supermarket again before leaving.
The reunion with Song Yuqing and Liu Xiaona made Shen She feel that he was a few years younger.
However, in the predictive future theater, Shen She saw a terrifying future. It was the true apocalypse, where everything was annihilated. Zombies were nothing, humans were nothing, all life, everything, could not escape the moment of ashes.
For the first time, Shen She felt the fear of death, and he became even more attached to this planet, even though it had been battered by meteorite showers.
He swore that he would do something more to extend his own time and the time of this world.
Song Yuqing, Liu Xiaona, Xiao Roubao, Gaha and Xiaoyi all had tears in their eyes as they listened.
"Did you see this planet reduced to ashes in a future movie?!" Song Yuqing's heart skipped a beat.
Shen She nodded.
Silence filled the air. The people in God's Supermarket looked at each other without saying a word. Only uneasiness filled the air.
"Future films will only have ten seconds of sticky images. You can only guess what they mean. Who knows, you might be wrong?" Song Yuqing said slowly.
“No.” Shen She shook her head, “The meaning of the picture is very clear and very real.”
Song Yuqing: ...
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Song Yuqing was almost suffocating and quickly changed the subject, "Where did you find the zombies?"
Shen She lowered her head again, too embarrassed to give the answer.
