Chapter 37 Chapter 37 The end of the world is counting down, and so is life...
Si Ruxu's special ability entered Si Qi's heart, and he slowly felt that the special ability shrank there quietly, as if it was not them that were agitated just now.
Si Ruxu calmed down and separated that special superpower from the original superpower in Si Qi's body bit by bit. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were dark and complicated.
"The powers in Scarface's body conflicted with yours. Logically, they should have the same origin, but after you absorbed them, you were severely injured and didn't have time to merge. So now they're repelling each other."
After listening to this, Si Qi nodded. She did feel that something was wrong with the supernatural power in her body, but she hadn't used it much in recent days, so she didn't take it seriously.
Si Ruxu looked at Si Qi's indifferent profile, feeling a lump of anger in her heart. She was neither up nor down, unable to advance or retreat.
"It just so happens that these days... you've been hunted and can't use your superpowers." As she spoke, she lowered her head and left a ball of healing superpowers on Si Qi's body, flowing through her meridians.
"Just take good care of it, it will be fine." The redness around her eyes had faded, leaving only a little pink on the tip of her nose. Her voice was cold and she seemed nonchalant, but in fact, her face showed her anger.
Si Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "If I die, you absorb my energy core. Wouldn't that end the apocalypse for you? Wouldn't that be bad for you?"
Indeed, a big part of the reason why those people hunted down Si Qi was that they wanted Si Qi's supernatural power core. After all, with such a powerful supernatural power, as long as they got a little bit, they could consolidate their position in the end times and even ascend to heaven.
"I'm strong enough myself. I don't want your superpower core." Si Ruxu frowned slightly. Even in the most difficult times, she didn't want Si Qi's superpower core, let alone now.
She was very angry at Si Qi's indifference, but her anger was mixed with a dull pain of heartache.
There was silence between the two people. Si Ruxu took the initiative to use his spatial ability to put the land that Si Qi was just about to move into the space, and then moved it outside to form an earth wall.
The extreme cold had just ended, and the ground was still damp, with a faint chill.
Si Qi had never dug such a deep dig before to escape the summer heat. This was the first time I saw such a heavy cold air underneath. This was just right for escaping the summer heat.
The only thing left is the problem of water source. It is very important to replenish water in extremely hot conditions. It is best to replenish some water appropriately every once in a while. If it lasts for half a month, then storing water for half a month will be a problem.
No container.
Si Qi looked at Si Ruxu and was about to ask her if she had any containers for water when he saw her take out a pile of pots and pans.
"Why do you have so many basins?" Si Qi took a basin and knocked it. The basin made a crisp sound when it fell to the ground, and the quality seemed to be good.
Si Ruxu lowered her eyes slightly, her voice sounding a bit bitter. "Half of the one-third of the base property that was given to me for safekeeping is made up of these things."
Si Qi looked over and asked: "Are there no crystal cores in the supplies I gave you?"
She was indeed curious about how many of the piles of crystal cores in Si Ruxu's space were obtained by herself.
Si Ruxu looked at Si Qi and shook her head gently: "No."
"You don't doubt them?" Si Qi found it a bit unreasonable. Had Si Ruxu ever been so gullible before? She was given one-third of the base's assets, and they said they would give her all the secret weapons, but she didn't even get the crystal core.
The tips of Si Ruxu's ears quietly turned pink. "I have too many crystal cores... At that time, I didn't realize that crystal cores were important supplies."
Just like the indifference of people who can easily get money to money, and like the insensitivity of people who are surrounded by love to love.
Si Qi suddenly felt a little bored. Si Ruxu was like that. He didn't pay much attention to things that were plentiful, but only realized the importance of things that were scarce or about to leave.
It's the same for everyone.
In the evening, there was already a faint smell of burning heat in the air. Si Ruxu put all the pots and pans in the space, brought them to the water source, and together with Si Qi, filled them with water one by one, and then put them back into the space.
The water surface was originally a clear blue, a very crystal blue, but after the setting sun dyed the low clouds red, it was reflected in orange-red.
The sky at the end of the world is always very low, no matter it is thunderclouds on a rainy day, or the blue sky on a sunny day, even the sunset is like layers of white balls surrounding the sun, and the sunlight gently falls on them. Some golden light shines through the gaps in the clouds and falls on the earth without reservation.
The dead land was then stained with a soft golden hue, and the water reflected the hope of survival.
Human beings without numbness are like insects attracted to light, chasing the sun.
Si Qi actually likes looking at the clouds, the sky, and the sunset. She always feels that as long as the sky does not collapse, there is still hope.
Si Ruxu stood not far away, and the reflection of Si Qi in her eyes was Si Qi sitting there quietly. She once again saw that Si Qi was different from what he was a few years ago.
So cute, it's like getting to know her all over again.
She was wondering, in such a meeting, should she say "Long time no see" or "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you".
When he returned to the cave, it was late at night again. The weather was no longer so hot, with only a little residual warmth lingering in the night breeze. Si Qi knew that the wind would soon stop.
At that time, the leaves would not shake, as if they had lost their vitality and were dead.
But it is true that without water and high temperature, all living things withered very quickly.
Any food will rot quickly under extremely hot conditions, so Si Qi didn't stockpile it. If he didn't move around, it would be fine to eat one meal every three days.
Si Ruxu did not light another fire. She placed several crystal cores in various corners of the room for lighting.
At this time of night, sleepiness creeps in like a vine. Si Qi yawns and leans against the wall. He watches Si Ruxu pull out a large bed from the space and asks drowsily, "So this bed is also from that one-third of supplies?"
It was Si Qi who was about to fall asleep. There was mist in his puppy eyes, as if he was extremely sleepy, and there was no longer any coldness and alienation as during the day.
She remembered that late at night before, Si Qi accompanied her to work on documents. He hugged a pillow and sat there looking at her quietly, but he was actually so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting each other.
At that time, she would gently coax her to go back to sleep. Si Qi shook his head, with a hint of Jiangnan mist in his eyes, and looked at her from afar.
She said she just wanted to be with me, wanted to hold me while I slept, and couldn't sleep alone.
There were tears in Si Ruxu's eyes. She lowered her eyes and it took her a long time to find her voice: "Yes, it was given by the base."
Liar, she was clearly on a business trip occasionally, but when I watched the surveillance video, she could take up the entire bed by herself.
Si Qi responded vaguely: "It's... kind of useful."
His voice became lower and lower, and finally he fell into a deep sleep.
The healing ability that Si Ruxu left in her body sensed the restlessness in her body, and that ability gradually merged with the original ability in Si Qi's body.
Gradually, it not only seeped into the veins, but also penetrated into the flesh and blood.
If Si Qi's supernatural power comes from the same source as Mo Shi's, then she and Mo Shi will share life and death.
So
The end of the world is counting down, and so is her life.
Si Ruxu gently carried Si Qi to the bed and lay down herself. Her amber eyes, which were always cold and indifferent, were filled with affection and loneliness. She carefully outlined Si Qi's eyebrows in the gloomy environment.
Then she carefully lay in Si Qi's arms, feeling the weak pulse and cold body temperature of the person beside her.
She thought, if someone really had to go to hell, then she would be the best candidate.
The most skilled hunter becomes the most helpless prey.
This time the extreme heat came very quickly. In less than forty-eight hours, the weather jumped from the aftermath of extreme cold to extremely hot.
Si Qi and Si Ruxu hid underground together. Maybe it was because the extreme heat had just started, but she actually felt a little cold after entering the underground. However, it was better than fainting from the heat before.
She put on her coat and huddled in a corner to eat the fruits she had saved. Si Ruxu's hair was stuck to her forehead, her cheeks were slightly red, and a few drops of sweat dripped from her chin.
She looked at Si Qi in his coat, and just as she was about to come in, she paused slightly, with some incomprehensible emotions flashing in her eyes.
Si Qi tilted her head. She didn’t understand why Si Ruxu looked so upset. Could it be that she still hadn’t recovered from being abandoned by the base?
But think about it, if she trusts the base so wholeheartedly, and is even willing to sacrifice her life for the development of the base, but the base wants to kill her, then she will be upset for a long time.
Si Qi showed an understanding expression, took out the last fruit from his pocket, walked forward and put it in Si Ruxu's hand.
"In the end times, it's not surprising that some people change their minds. Those people didn't suddenly become rotten. Since we have different ideals, we can't work together. It's their fault."
Si Qi smiled and comforted her, gently holding Si Ruxu's hand. Si Ruxu's body temperature was a little hot. Si Qi thought it was probably because she had just come down from upstairs.
She thought her words would have some effect, and since she was already involved with Si Ruxu, the other party would probably be nicer.
Suddenly, she sensed the emotions in the air, coming from Si Ruxu, loss, regret, heartache, like a huge rock.
There was a string in her brain that was stretched straight, and finally broke when Si Ruxu rushed over. Si Ruxu was in her arms, not saying a word, but Si Qi could feel her tears, which soaked his clothes with warmth.
"Si Ruxu, what are you feeling upset about?" Si Qi asked softly while patting Si Ruxu's back.
There are circles of clues tangled in my head, as if covered by a layer of fog. The longer I stand in it, the less clear I can see.
Si Ruxu's voice was very far away and very soft, and it slowly penetrated into my heart from the air.
"I'm afraid that you won't be in the world anymore."
There was a slight hint of crying in her voice.
In a daze, Si Qi thought that Si Ruxu had cried too many times these days.
She vaguely discovered that perhaps it was not that Si Ruxu's body was hot, but that her blood was too cold.
