Chapter 41 Chapter 41 She felt that in the past few years, all...
She felt like all the painful, unwilling, and tormenting emotions of the past few years had been woven into a giant net. This net enveloped her, trapping her in the darkest recesses of her heart. Its sticky tentacles bound her limbs and locked her sight firmly in front of her.
The center of his sight was Si Ruxu's pale, pleading face.
Is this the right thing to do? Does she really want this?
She shouldn't blame Si Ruxu, because the end of the world requires sacrifice, because love or not love is free. But now, the emotions that were originally suppressed by morality and reason are like a volcano that can no longer be blocked.
The surging magma swallowed up all consciousness, and finally struggled to break through a small piece of sunlight.
A dark hue darkened in her eyes. "Si Ruxu, I think you should understand that we are just partners now. Is this what partners should do?"
There was no blame in his tone, only a slight sigh in his calmness.
Reason returns at this moment.
"I'm sorry..." Si Ruxu's eyes followed Si Qi closely, and she saw through her struggle, and finally uttered a few words softly.
She should be unwilling, but she suddenly realized that this was the end of the world, and Si Qi's life played an indispensable role in His grand plan.
She was being manipulated like a puppet, and she shouldn't push her anymore.
Si Ruxu suppressed the bitterness and gently hugged Si Qi. Her tears fell like kites with broken strings, one by one, onto Si Qi's clothes, gradually warming half of his sleeves.
Si Qi gently comforted Si Ruxu for a long time. Finally, she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell on the bed. Her breathing gradually became even.
Si Ruxu leaned sideways and pressed forward.
Only by feeling the body temperature of her lover could she fall into a light sleep in the middle of the night. She was too frightened. Si Qi's weak breathing and pulse were like a needle across her heart, and the slightest movement would cause bleeding.
The extremely hot weather will only last for half a month. These days, hailstorms occur every two nights. Although the hailstorms are not big, they lower the temperature at intervals, giving ordinary people without shelter hope of survival.
People outside picked up the hailstones, melted the ice into water, and stored it to use as drinking water for the next few days.
The further it goes, the more He seems to have mercy on ordinary people. No one noticed it before, but only now did they realize that, except for zombies, mutated plants almost never attack ordinary people.
It was another hail night. Si Qi sat up quietly. This was the first time in so many days that she felt the supernatural power flowing in the air. The two opposing supernatural powers in her body calmed down, as if they were devoutly welcoming something.
Si Qi gently took his hand off Si Ruxu's waist. The woman beside him seemed to be in a state of stillness. Normally, she would be awakened by the slightest movement, but now she was sleeping soundly and quietly.
The earthen wall outside became transparent, silently inviting her to go in.
Si Ruxu was still not invited to the third major crackdown.
Si Qi stood up and took off the bracelet on his wrist when he was about to enter the earth wall. He took one last look at Si Ruxu, then turned back and was swallowed by the transparent wall.
The extreme heat was over, and the sound of raindrops hitting the ground was irregular, noisy like beads of water falling on a jade plate, but it gave people a sense of security that they were alive again.
Si Ruxu woke up in the heavy rain. She sat up with sleepy eyes. The mist in her eyes instantly dissipated when her fingers touched the cold bed beside her.
A surge of blood rushed to her brain, and she managed to calm down. She turned on the bracelet and used the tracker to check Si Qi's location and image. A dripping sound came from the other side of the cave, along with the raindrops outside.
But each sound made Si Ruxu's blood run cold. Si Ruxu staggered over and almost knelt down, looking at a familiar bracelet lying quietly on the ground, which was supposed to be worn by Si Qi.
There was no sign of the earth wall loosening, and she would wake up at the slightest noise at night, so Si Qi would not go out, so there would have to be a massacre.
This unique possibility made Si Ruxu feel like she was swallowed by a shadow.
A massacre? Si Qi's powers hadn't recovered yet. She had removed her tracker. How was she going to survive this massacre?
How can she save Si Qi?
Si Ruxu's brain froze for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.
She quickly made a choice between Luo Feng and Si Luoheng.
Luo Fenghe had good intentions towards Si Qi, but she didn't know the depth of that kindness yet. Moreover, he had just revealed Si Qi's whereabouts. Si Luoheng had wanted to kill Si Qi, but she knew the depth of the power of the research institute, and they had been together day and night for more than ten years...
The Institute definitely had a way to get in and get through. She breathed a sigh of relief, trying to calm herself. She had to get in, no matter what the cost.
The heavy rain was still falling, and no one knew how long it would last. Si Ruxu put on her raincoat. It would take two days to get from here to the research institute, but she didn't dare to stop along the way. Even if her feet were sore and blisters were rubbed on, she still hurried all the way.
She began to feel fortunate that there was still some fruit left in her space, so she could eat it while traveling without wasting time.
As for the limited nutrient solution, she wanted to leave it to Si Qi.
After walking non-stop for a whole day and night, she finally reached the metal gate before sunrise the next day. The gate opened automatically the moment she approached, and the robot at the door showed a lovely smile: "Welcome home."
Si Ruxu lowered her eyes, walked in hurriedly, and reached the innermost level of the research institute without any obstruction.
The big screen was still playing the scenes from the massacre.
In just one day, the psychics divided themselves into several small teams and were searching for something everywhere. There was no Si Qi on the big screen, and a bad premonition flowed out like water in a broken cup, trickling and unstoppable.
The other side of the door was opened, and Si Luoheng walked out with sleepy eyes. The moment he saw Si Ruxu, he was stunned in surprise.
Si Luoheng was wearing pajamas, which was completely different from her delicate look during the day. The pink and purple pajamas made her skin look even whiter.
Si Ruxu looked at her, her stern features softening unconsciously. She took out a wrapped gift from her space and stated her second purpose: "Luo Heng, happy nineteenth birthday."
Si Luoheng didn't know how he accepted the gift or how he led Si Ruxu to where he usually slept.
Her sleeping place was a mess, with clothes casually placed on the bed, as were her research items. On one side of the cabinet was a nutrient solution that had no smell but was very filling, and next to the nutrient solution were a bunch of supernatural cores.
"Aren't your work and sleeping areas separate?"
"If there's something important, go to the lab. Normally, I'll just observe here. When I wake up, I'll study. When I'm tired, I'll sleep."
Si Luoheng said it didn't matter, but Si Ruxu felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
When the end of the world came, Si Luoheng was only seventeen years old.
"Sister, is there something that makes you come to see me this time?" Si Luoheng placed the gift given by Si Ruxu on the front layer of the cabinet without leaving any trace. He was very calm and did not open it at that moment, like an adult.
"I want to join the massacre." Si Ruxu didn't spend much time with Si Luoheng. She was afraid that something might happen to Si Qi, and Si Luoheng's concept of the end of the world was different from hers. These problems would not be ignored just because she was a child.
"Is it for Si Qi?" Si Luoheng opened a box. Inside the box was a familiar compressed black hole. She picked and chose, and finally picked out a brand new, intact one and handed it to Si Ruxu.
"Yeah." Si Ruxu took the small black hole and felt the chaotic magnetic field from it.
"Sister, you've fallen in love with her again."
"I know."
"Hehe, you're still so calm at this time... Sister, you know that emotions can bind a person the most. You have a weakness."
"Aren't you afraid that He will seize upon this and drag you down into an irretrievable position?"
Si Ruxu's expression remained calm. "I know what's going on."
She had no way back. No matter what, she would pull Si Qi out of this chess game and finally end the apocalypse.
The magnetic field strength of the small black hole was stronger than the one that hit Si Qi at that time. Si Ruxu held it tightly, closed his eyes, and felt the huge suction around him.
This small black hole was obviously modified by Si Luoheng. An airflow shield protected her and she was not harmed by the aura that was cut in the middle.
In the blink of an eye, she landed in a dark corner. A cold and sharp light flashed beside her, and a small dagger was pressed against her neck.
"Who are you and why did you suddenly end up here?" Si Ruxu's nose was lingering with the smell of blood, and her eyes suddenly turned red when she heard the familiar voice.
She ignored the dagger on her neck, turned around and hugged Si Qi. Si Qi smelled a familiar scent and the dagger in his hand loosened, so he did not stab Si Ruxu.
"Why are you here?" She just felt a strong airflow. Wasn't Si Ruxu outside? How did she get in?
"I asked Luo Heng to bring me in."
Si Luoheng... Si Qi didn't expect that Si Luoheng's research on the end of the world had reached this level.
But think about it, all the information about the end of the world was revealed to humans by Si Luoheng, including the superpower core, the massacre, and natural disasters.
"Is your sister so powerful?"
"She must have made a deal with Him, but she refused to tell me the content of the deal."
Si Qi nodded. In his memory, Si Luoheng had always been taciturn, and his current dress style was deliberately imitating Si Ruxu.
"The apocalypse is over. Remember to take her to see a psychiatrist. Psychological issues in children's growth are very important."
Si Ruxu smiled and nodded, but her eyes were still red, as if she had been crying. She took out a few energy cores and lit up the surroundings. Her eyes stopped when they fell on the scars on Si Qi's face that were cut by the metal energy.
"Don't move." Her tone was a little heavy. She straightened Si Qi's dodging body, moved closer, and placed a superpower core in her hand.
More clearly, he could see the large and small, hideous, and bleeding wounds on Si Qi's body.
