Chapter 27 Chapter 27 But the end of the world is coming, in the living...
But when the end of the world came, under the threat of survival, the theory of a shared world built by humans in peacetime collapsed in an instant. They blocked out all the sounds of other creatures and just killed and robbed.
Luo Fenghe is also a human being, and he couldn't understand all this for a while.
Si Qi lowered his eyes, remembering the ambiguous words Luo Feng had said to him a few days ago. How could a Creator not love his own children? But the Creator not only created them, but also the flowers, trees, sea fish, and animals. When a strong enough child tried to kill the weaker one, He would reach out and provide some help.
But why did He transform humans into zombies? Why did He lead those with special abilities into the massacre and avoid ordinary people? And why did He exist?
Si Qi sat on the hillside. She didn't want to talk, and Luo Fenghe didn't ask. Suspicion was already rampant in the apocalypse, and they lacked a chance to truly open up and share their lives. If Si Qi truly was hostile to them, then no amount of talking would help.
These days, Si Ruxu almost fell asleep in front of the screen, and only ate a few mouthfuls in a hurry. She used her eyes greedily to measure Si Qi's changes inch by inch.
He seemed to have lost some weight, and his walking posture was a little stiff, like a patient undergoing rehabilitation training, his face was so pale that it was a little scary.
Si Luoheng's sleep schedule was very regular. She didn't seem like a researcher. She went to bed at nine o'clock every night and woke up at eight o'clock every morning. She would occasionally drink red wine or coffee. Si Ruxu could tell that she didn't like red wine.
So most of the time, she was the only one guarding here. That's how it was last night when Si Qi sat up, her eyes stained with strange blood-red veins, and strange powers flowed from her body in all directions, like streams of bright red blood flowing into the bodies of animals and plants.
Only she and Si Qi knew about this scene.
Si Luoheng was still observing, lazily leaning on the recliner, chatting with her about whether Si Qi was a human, his messenger, or some part of him.
She didn't notice that Si Ruxu's lips were a little too pale. Si Ruxu just smiled lightly and told her to wait and see. She subconsciously didn't want to tell Si Qi about what happened yesterday.
But she knew that Si Qi must be on his side, whether he was an avatar or a messenger, they could not be friends.
Si Ruxu sat there all night long, and she found that Si Qi's original, immature appearance had gradually faded from her mind, including all the bits and pieces of their love. What remained was only the girl in the blue and white school uniform holding an umbrella for the kitten when they first met, and the wary, indifferent and complicated eyes when they met again.
She admitted that when she fell in love with different appearances of the same person, the first thing that would become blurred was her previous impression of her. She thought that she was beginning to like Si Qi in a new way.
She couldn't ignore the months of insomnia, the months of frantically inquiring about news, and the months of waking up in shock after dreaming about the day Si Qi was kidnapped. She couldn't ignore them, but she couldn't respond either.
Forget it.
She said to herself.
No one can live without anyone else.
…
There are still two days before the end of the massacre. Low-level psychics are eliminated by the increasingly powerful mutated animals and plants, leaving only high-level psychics who can hunt them.
So the remaining mutants began hunting mutant plants and animals, even though their stored food had begun to rot and stink.
Si Qi went to the convenience store every day to grab some snacks, only enough for one day's consumption. After that, she sat on the hillside, as if she didn't care about anything and didn't deal with anything.
She teleported everyone who found the hillside and wanted to climb up to take a look to another place, and did not allow anyone to get close.
Luo Fenghe was sitting behind her, a few meters away. They had hardly spoken to each other these days. Si Qi seemed like a different person. Even though she was not talkative before, she was not so indifferent anymore.
On the morning of the sixth day, the sun rose slowly, and the people below began to get restless again. Luo Fenghe walked to Si Qi's side and followed her line of sight to see a tree. Two psychics were standing under the tree. It looked like another fierce battle was about to begin.
"Starting today, they will probably attack each other." Luo Fenghe kept his eyes on Si Qi while speaking, not wanting to miss any changes on her face.
But unfortunately, Si Qi didn't say a word. She was like a petrified human being, not participating in anything that happened here.
"Brother, are you quitting?"
Luo Fenghe, who couldn't stand the cold violence any more, looked at Si Qi with a harsh and helpless tone.
"Hmm?" Si Qi finally turned around blankly, looking at him straight in the eye for the first time in so many days.
"I thought you were going to quit the biosphere and die." Luo Fenghe smiled sincerely.
Si Qi shook his head: "I haven't, but they may be retreating."
Luo Fenghe:???
Then he heard Si Qi's cold, emotionless voice.
"A natural disaster is coming." The next second after her voice fell, several bolts of lightning fell in various places below. The seemingly noisy environment suddenly became quiet. No one shouted, and no one struggled. In just an instant, they turned into powder.
The rest of the people who were not struck by lightning did not shout, but carefully concealed their breath to avoid being struck by the thunder.
Luo Fenghe ran to the side of the hillside, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw clusters of flames burning on the ground, engulfing the people, animals and plants around them.
"They will all die." Si Qi looked at him coldly: "None of the following will survive."
"What did you know?" Luo Fenghe no longer cared about being afraid. He grabbed Si Qi's shoulders and clenched his fingers tightly into her clothes. The slight pain made her look sideways at the young man in front of her.
Before the end of the world, Luo Feng should have been a college student who had just entered university. He had a good family background and was neither confused like a high school student nor affected by the muddiness of society.
After two years of experience in the apocalypse, he has become more tactful in his actions, possessing both the patience to lie low and the courage to act at critical moments.
"Don't you see? The evolution here follows people's behavior." Si Qi used space to separate Luo Feng and him.
"He uses various anomalies to warn humans again and again, reminding them not to be greedy. He gives them chance after chance, but they turn a deaf ear."
Luo Fenghe noticed that when Si Qi spoke, he used the word "they" instead of "we".
He pursed his lips lightly, not knowing whether he was referring to the people below or to the humans other than her. Or, was Si Qi really a human?
"So, this "enough" only means enough to sustain their own survival. They don't excessively plunder resources or kill innocent people. If they leave their stored resources to rot at home, aren't they just like the powerful ones in the early days of the base?"
Luo Fenghe opened his lips, but for a moment his throat seemed to be blocked by glue and he didn't know what to say. He looked at Si Qi in silence for a long time before he spoke awkwardly.
"Can't you...save her?"
"Talk to the animals that were killed."
Luo Fenghe stopped talking. Si Qi actually understood everything, good and evil, right and wrong, she just didn't like to talk about it.
Si Qi stood up and walked towards the edge of the blood-red area, where a building appeared vaguely. Luo Fenghe followed him. The scene in front of him changed, and he followed Si Qi into the building.
According to the timeline in memory, now is the time when Si Qi just returned here and was trapped in the house with no food or ammunition. She fainted from hunger and was thrown into the base when she woke up.
For so many years, not only did Si Ruxu stay with her, but she was also worried about the unknown environment outside. She wanted to know who came and moved her to the base when she fainted from hunger.
Si Qi isolated a space, put himself and Luo Feng inside, and then looked at his young, thin and pale self.
She saw her younger self huddled in a corner, with no food left at home. The living room was decorated to resemble the time when she and Si Ruxu were together. Photos of the two of them were placed in the bedroom, along with all the small gifts Si Ruxu had given her, placed around them.
She suddenly remembered that she had lost all hope at that time and was determined to die. She wanted to see Si Ruxu for the last time, so she put everything related to Si Ruxu here, begging her to remember to visit her after her death.
She didn't even know if people had souls after death, she was just taking a chance.
When she was on the verge of death and unconscious, she heard a very soft sigh. It was very familiar, so familiar that she imagined it was Si Ruxu coming back.
At this moment, she stood in the same place, in a space of different latitudes, watching her younger self curled up in a ball, as quiet and lifeless as a body.
Only she herself knew that she passed by her like a revolving lantern at that time, but what she remembered clearly and which appeared repeatedly was only Si Ruxu's face.
She remembered that a long time ago, in an alley she passed by, Si Ruxu sprayed two boys who were harassing her and knocked them down. When he turned around and looked at her, there was a gentle and clear smile on his lips.
The train carrying the sunset passed through the clouds, and a track suddenly burned in the clouds on both sides. It was originally just a small spot, but it burned the entire cloud like a wildfire.
The setting sun's light fell on Si Ruxu's shoulders. Given the right time and place, there was no way she couldn't like Si Ruxu. Especially since this was right outside her home, and the two boys were originally trying to block her way.
Si Ruxu from her teenage years noticed the bruises under her eyes and the wounds on her arms, and quietly followed her, getting ahead of her to solve the problems that had caught her off guard.
She was no longer moving on the bed. Si Qi walked out of the gap in space, looked at the house where no one had ever been, walked to his younger self, and sighed lightly and helplessly.
She picked herself up, stepped into the newly built base at that time, put herself in a relatively safe place in the base, and then turned and left.
If Si Ruxu was her thought of being alive at that time, then she thought, don't break it.
Sooner or later she will know all the truth, and uncovering the mystery with her own hands is like tearing a big wound in her heart. It doesn't hurt very much, but it always leaks air and takes out all the warmth in her heart.
