When Chen Cheng opened his eyes again, what he saw was still the familiar cave.
After being stunned for a moment, Shen Cheng patted his head.
Did I faint again?
After a little recollection, Shen Cheng finally remembered that after the cosmic cancer was eliminated, they all returned to the ground safely through the teleportation device.
Then he naturally separated from Mu Bing.
And then... nothing happened.
It seems that Xiao Dengbao's ability to recover his mental strength is still unable to neutralize the negative effects of his fusion with Mu Bing.
Well, now that I'm here, I might as well go and tell the old charlatan the good news.
Walking deep into the cave, looking at the familiar dragon head mural, Shen Cheng raised his right hand and knocked on it.
"I've already told you, I'm not a door!"
The two eyes of the dragon head mural lit up, and then the vicissitudes of life voice came into Shen Cheng's ears: "Boy, you are back so soon, it seems that the matter is over, right?"
"You really trust me."
Chen Cheng smiled faintly: "Yes, with the unity of all of us, we have successfully eliminated the cosmic cancer."
"As expected."
The dragon head mural seemed to have expected this to happen, and there was a hint of relief in his tone.
Chen Cheng smiled bitterly: "This is just a cosmic cancer, and it has tortured us like this. What if the main force of alien civilization invades in the future?"
"You'll still win."
The dragon head mural said without hesitation: "If you fight a cosmic cancer with all your strength, you will win. If you fight an army of alien civilization with all your strength, you will still win.
Of course, the premise is that you humans really try your best. As long as you try your best, there is no miracle that you cannot create. This is what you humans are like."
Hearing this, Shen Cheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you. I feel much more at ease after hearing what you said."
"I'm not trying to comfort you, I'm just stating the facts."
The dragon head mural said calmly, "Over the long years, I have witnessed firsthand the tremendous changes in your human civilization. Perhaps it's because I see things more clearly than I do, but I'm incredibly aware of your innate resilience."
"But even so, sacrifice is still unavoidable, right?"
Shen Cheng sighed: "If only you were still here."
"Of course we are still here, but we are accompanying and watching over you in a different way. Besides, one day, you humans will have to face all of this on your own."
The words on the dragon head mural are tinged with a smile: "Peace must be achieved through war, and in war, sacrifice is inevitable. Without sacrifice, peace will ultimately result in a miserable existence. However, humans are a race that yearns for the unknown and freedom. Constraints are not suitable for humans.
Remember what I told you? Look forward, move forward, don’t look back. "
Shen Cheng nodded: "Always keep it in mind."
"That's good."
Although the dragon head mural did not have a torso, Shen Cheng seemed to see a golden dragon nodding.
"Go and rest. This battle must have been very taxing on you. It's time for me, the old man, to rest."
After he finished speaking, the eyes of the dragon head mural dimmed and became motionless.
Then, everything in the cave disappeared and turned into darkness.
…
When I opened my eyes, the white ceiling came into view, and I could faintly smell the subtle smell of disinfectant.
Shen Cheng was very familiar with this environment and immediately realized that he was lying in the hospital.
Sitting up from the bed with great effort, and looking at his body which was obviously thinner, Shen Cheng knew that this sleep was probably not just a simple sleep of two or three days.
"phoenix."
Mu Bing's cold voice came, causing Shen Cheng to turn his head and see Mu Bing sitting next to Shen Cheng's bed with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Lifting his heavy arm, Shen Cheng rubbed Mu Bing's head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Also, how many days has it been now?"
"One week."
One week...
Shen Cheng took a deep breath. A week is not a short time.
“Where are Huihui and the others?”
"Everyone is at the cat cafe, resuming normal operations. Ye Xi said Feng would be very happy to see the cat cafe reopened when she wakes up, so everyone went to work. Since there is a transmission device, if Feng wakes up, everyone can come and take care of her at any time."
"Has Cibis been staying at the cat cafe all this time?"
"Um."
Mu Bing nodded: "Qibisi said she wanted to see Feng wake up... I'll contact everyone now."
"good."
In a moment, a portal opened and Qibisi and Ye Xi walked out.
"Brother!"
Qibisi jumped up and down, subconsciously wanting to throw herself into Shen Cheng's arms, but when she saw Shen Cheng's thin body, she stopped.
There was still an IV tube inserted in Chen Cheng's left hand, and he looked completely sick. How could he look like the hero who had just eliminated the super giant blood corpse a week ago?
"Everyone wanted to come see you, but since the cat cafe still needed to operate, I stopped everyone and came here with the responsibility of taking care of you."
Ye Xi smiled and said, "How is it? After being unconscious for such a long time, are you feeling hungry?"
“Gu——”
As soon as Ye Xi finished speaking, a clear rumbling sound came from Shen Cheng's stomach.
Shen Cheng scratched his head and smiled: "I am indeed a little hungry."
"As expected."
Ye Xi shrugged: "Just bear with it for a while, I'll go get you some food and call a doctor for you."
"OK."
After watching Ye Xi leave the ward, Shen Cheng turned around and lay back on the bed.
