Chapter 56 Chapter 56 But why her
What came into view was a foggy sky, with layers of dark clouds pressing down, so familiar that it made people breathless.
Si Qi's vision was a little strange now. She lowered her head, and the ground beneath her feet was even stranger. It was sticky, as if it was about to suck her legs in. She frowned and lifted her legs to walk forward.
She didn't see Si Ruxu. Did she hide herself in the mist?
Si Ruxu's memory space was different from hers. She didn't sense any elements or information about superpowers. And she herself seemed unable to use any superpowers here.
There was a bright spot at the very edge of the memory. Si Qi raised her leg and walked towards that direction. Sure enough, just when she got a little closer, there was a trace of lightning blocking her way, threatening her and trying to force her back.
She pretended not to hear and let the tiny lightning move across her skin, causing a slight numbness.
The further she went, the fiercer the thunder and lightning became, but they were not strong enough. When she really got close to the small white dot, the thunder and lightning around her, which had been weakening a little, suddenly became violent.
Several powerful lightning bolts came towards her, but they turned abruptly when they were about to hit her. In the end, they did not hurt her at all, leaving only a scorched ground.
Si Ruxu was hiding here. She didn't want her to get close to her, but subconsciously she didn't want to hurt her.
Si Qi lowered her eyes. In fact, logically speaking, even if she wanted to know Si Ruxu's secret, she would not force it since the other party was so unwilling.
But this concerns Si Ruxu's life.
Si Qi took a long breath and reached out to touch the white dot. The white dot swallowed up the dark and sticky surrounding it at an exponential speed, and the smell of rain rushed towards him.
Si Ruxu's memories were raining, and the air was mixed with the smell of grass, trees and soil.
A figure was vaguely walking towards her. Judging from his figure, he was thinner than her, walked with a limp, and was holding something in his arms.
She walked up, wanting to see more clearly, but her sight stopped when it touched the man's face.
Si Ruxu's memory was of herself from an unknown time period. At that time, she was pale and thin, giving people the feeling that she was malnourished and would not live long.
A small corner of the thing in his arms was exposed. It was tree bark and wild vegetables picked up outside. This was the food supply for the next few days.
But unfortunately, this little bit of food was later stolen. She almost starved to death there and finally had to wander outside. Luckily, she picked up a few first-level superpowers thrown away by a superpower user and exchanged them for some points, which allowed her to barely survive.
How could Si Ruxu know all this? Does she have any memory of this?
Si Qi was still confused. She knew Si Ruxu had been watching her die for a while, and Si Ruxu knew she knew that. She didn't blame Si Ruxu for this, because she wouldn't care about the life or death of someone she didn't love.
Si Ruxu was afraid of this, and almost died in a dream because of it?
With this doubt in her mind, Si Qi continued walking forward until two figures appeared in front of her. One was Si Ruxu, and the other was a woman...she knew her.
That was Si Ruxu's best friend. She had been in poor health since childhood and was a sickly person, but she was gentle and strong. She would always pay attention to the emotions of those around her and was never impatient or irritable.
Si Qi remembered that when she first got together with Si Ruxu, there were always people coming to her to ask about Si Ruxu. She was too popular, excellent, beautiful, and unattainable.
Those people only thought she was Si Ruxu's little follower, and their tone of voice was not very nice. Before Si Ruxu knew, her friend would always walk up to her gently, and look at the person who wanted Si Ruxu's information with a pair of beautiful eyes with a little doubt.
"Should we just ask her girlfriend for her information? You guys are pretty good at finding her, but Si Ruxu might not really want to get to know you. After all, she already has someone hidden at home who's tall, pretty, and has good grades."
The words were said with a smile, but there was no emotion in his eyes, and his voice was gentle, yet there was an indescribable contempt in it.
She had a good impression of her, so Si Ruxu's last friend who died was her?
"Where have you been? Luo Fenghe is most likely heading west. I've issued a Level 1 wanted warrant. Let's go look for him first. We'll definitely find him within a month."
"Don't be in a hurry." The woman smiled gently and looked in a direction not far away.
"I saw someone I know."
"Who?" Si Ruxu was stunned, and a very faint outline emerged in her mind.
"It's Si Qi. You came over there, so you should have seen it too."
Si Ruxu fell silent. She had indeed seen it, and it wasn't decent.
This was the first time she and Si Qi met since they broke up. She had heard before that Si Qi had gone to another city. When the end of the world came, all the cities outside fell except this city. She originally thought that Si Qi was dead.
When she saw Si Qi, she was holding a bag of wild vegetables and tree bark, and was thrown to the ground by a strong man. Then the man kicked her up and forcibly took away the things in her arms.
Si Qi didn't say a word the whole time. If it weren't for the fact that she was kicked and couldn't get up, her breathing rising and falling while curled up on the ground, and the smell of blood brought by her cough, she wouldn't even think she was still alive.
Si Ruxu didn't stay for Si Qi for too long. Her ex, whom she hadn't seen for two years, was not enough for her to spend too much time thinking about.
Moreover, what is the point of ordinary people trying so hard to survive? The unpredictable future, the drastic and extreme weather changes, and the impending mysterious massacre.
She might be able to be soft-hearted and save her for a while, but what about the next moment? She would still die in various ways. It would be better to save her from suffering earlier.
When the woman saw Si Ruxu's evasive look, she had already guessed what was going on.
"I saw she passed out from the pain, but she was still breathing, so I gave her a special medicine and placed a few first-level crystal cores next to her."
Si Qi was slightly stunned. She thought it was a crystal core dropped by a psychic, but it turned out that it was given by her?
In the isolated space, Si Ruxu's eyelashes drooped, her emotions unclear. She simply put on a light-colored windbreaker and said calmly, "Well, I'm leaving."
That cleared up everything.
The shadows of the two people gradually went away, and the surroundings turned back to the turbid and sticky sky at the beginning. She looked around and sure enough, she saw a white dot not far away.
This time, she walked over even faster. There were still some small and weak electric currents surrounding her, and occasionally there would be big lightning to scare her, but none of them really hurt her.
Until a scorching current stretched across her front, flowing like a huge river.
Would you rather use this method to prevent her from entering that light spot?
Si Qi lowered her eyes to look at the electric current on the ground. Somehow, she felt that these were like tears that had been flowing for a long time.
Si Qi stood there in a daze, as if a huge weight was falling under her feet. The question Fu Jiatu asked her slowly emerged in her mind: Did she want to know Si Ruxu's secret?
She thought about it, but she would be afraid.
She had tried countless times to find out what Si Ruxu had hidden from her, and she still wanted to know, but she always felt that Si Ruxu should tell her personally, rather than her entering Si Ruxu's memory in this way.
Even though she was so repulsive.
Si Ruxu's memory space suddenly vibrated, as if it was about to collapse. There was a voice coming from somewhere in her ears, sounding a little anxious.
"Si Qi, her memory space is becoming increasingly unstable. Hurry up."
Si Qi lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in them.
Oh, when the rabbit dies, the fox mourns.
Without hesitation, she stepped into the electric current. A dense pain rose up in the soles of her feet, and even the electric current trembled a little. Then, with every step Si Qi took, the electric current trembled and made way for a channel that would not touch her.
Si Ruxu was afraid that she would know her memories, but subconsciously she was even more afraid that it would hurt her.
When Si Qi stretched out his hand and touched the white ball, the sky collapsed and disintegrated again, changing color.
The scene before her made her blood freeze instantly.
The color here is gray. In the distance, a large number of zombies are stumbling towards them, and the alarms in the base are constantly roaring.
On the city wall, several people stood there with serious eyes.
Scarface looked at the red alert on the map with deep eyes. He easily hid the hatred in his eyes, and looked at Si Ruxu with a little worry: "It's basically confirmed that this zombie wave is coming for us."
"Let all the earth-type mutants come over and build the wall first. The attack-type mutants will guard the surroundings, and the healing and auxiliary-type mutants will be on standby in the rear." Si Ruxu gave the order calmly. The wind-type mutant beside him agreed and flew down on the wind, letting the sound spread forward with the wind.
Scarface's expression twisted briefly, but soon returned to normal.
Si Ruxu glanced at him calmly, as if she knew what he was about to say: "Anything unusual or suspicious can be put aside. The most important thing now is to deal with this zombie tide."
"When it comes to the moment of life and death, I hope the base commander will not be stingy in using his abilities." Si Ruxu raised his eyes and mentioned it casually.
Except for the zombie tide a year ago, Scarface has never shown her special abilities to the outside world, and no one has questioned her strength. However, it was only Si Ruxu who questioned Scarface's abilities.
Even though Scarface knew that Si Ruxu just couldn't stand him sitting in the best seat but not doing anything to contribute to the base.
"I will show my abilities." Scarface slightly raised his lips, revealing an ugly smile.
Si Qi pursed his lips. How could Si Ruxu not have suspected that Scarface was a bad guy? Was she too judgmental of appearances?
The space flickered again and stabilized again. It was Si Ruxu flickering among the zombies. She released her lightning power to smash the zombies surrounding her, while dodging the attacks of the red power from behind.
Scarface's red ability is different from his own. Siqi's is blood red, a very pure color, while Scarface's looks a bit dull.
So, on the day she was trapped and killed by the zombies, Si Ruxu was also in the zombie group.
Si Qi suppressed the slight uneasiness in his heart and continued to follow her gaze.
Even Si Ruxu couldn't face the zombie horde and Scarface's pursuit at the same time. Soon, her movements became sluggish. Her arm was injured by the light red supernatural power and scratched by the zombies. The blood dyed her light-colored windbreaker red, leaving a large mark.
Si Ruxu covered her hands, took a few steps back, and suddenly ran in a designated direction. She released her superpowers from her superpower core like crazy, as if she didn't care about her life.
Any zombies within a two-meter radius would be strangled to death by the lightning power as soon as they approached. Finally, Si Ruxu saw a familiar face.
Si Qi followed Si Ruxu's gaze and saw himself.
She was already dead at that time, blood was flowing out from several blood holes in her body, and her eyes were dull and empty as she knelt there like a dead tree.
From behind, the reddish energy struck Si Ruxu once again, sending her plummeting to the ground and spitting blood. The zombies around her continued to surge forward, but strangely stopped a few steps away, unable to move.
Under Si Qi's gaze, Si Ruxu closed her eyes, and blood-red lines slowly appeared around her eyes.
She found it difficult to breathe.
Why, why are the lines around Si Ruxu's eyes exactly the same as she is now?
She saw a blood-red object flying out from between Si Ruxu's eyebrows, and then it stuck close to Si Ruxu's cheek, and then flew into Si Qi's eyebrows reluctantly and with great attachment.
Then.
Si Ruxu fell in front of Si Qi.
The surrounding sky faded once again, returning to where it started.
Si Qi stared blankly at the sticky substance on the floor that stuck to the soles of her shoes. She felt as if her soul was also stuck there, suffocating and unable to breathe.
What does that just now mean?
What she meant was that the superpowers in her body originally belonged to Si Ruxu, right? What she meant was that this new life she had was given by Si Ruxu, right?
But why, why was it her?
If Si Ruxu knew everything from the very beginning, if she was also reborn, then all their conversations, all their plans, every injury she suffered, and everything she knew were planned by Si Ruxu for her.
No wonder. No wonder she always felt that even her life and death were arranged by others.
It turns out that it wasn't the gods who arranged this for her, but the person beside her...
Si Qi felt it was ridiculous. She curled her lips slightly and actually laughed out loud. The sudden laughter was a bit harsh in the quiet space, until a tear fell into the sticky soil.
Si Qi was no longer afraid of the lightning, nor did he care about Si Ruxu's secret.
She stepped into the lightning, and the lightning bolts hurriedly hid, and she chased them even faster.
Knowing that the sky around her was bright, the dazzling light made her squint her eyes, and her tears wet her eyelashes. She did not close her eyes, she wanted to see what it was this time.
Which of Si Ruxu's words is true?
The sky was no longer gloomy, and could even be described as clear. It was a rare good day that had not been seen in the apocalypse for a long time.
"Sister, He still hasn't replied?"
Si Luoheng walked out of the research institute. At this time, the research institute was a little simple, and it lacked the luxury and grandeur that it would later become.
Si Ruxu shook her head, with an unprecedented confusion in her eyes.
The apocalypse has reached its middle stage, but the small energy ball in her body that came along with the apocalypse is still motionless.
The small energy ball gave her the ability to communicate with Him, and to more clearly perceive the changes in the land and energy in the apocalypse. However, He was limited by some things. He was unwilling to communicate with her and would rather block her five senses to perceive the apocalypse.
"Luo Heng." Si Ruxu spoke slowly. She seemed to have caught a glimpse of the answer, and felt a tightness in her chest.
"Is it because of the supernatural power I possess, that this small ball of energy has been repelling me?"
Silence fell all around.
There are not many research results now, but they have also noticed that people in the last days are more tolerant towards ordinary people than those with special abilities.
Si Luoheng recalled the blood-red moon outside the window when he injected Si Ruxu with superpowers.
Si Ruxu was not injected with the serum of that little zombie, nor did she come into contact with other zombies and be infected. So, was the change in her that bloody night actually caused by this small ball of energy?
The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Si Luoheng's voice was muffled. She looked up at Si Ruxu and said word by word, "Sister, put that little energy ball into my body."
She is the driving force behind the early development of the apocalypse and the person who is most capable of studying the apocalypse. Putting the small energy ball on her will bring greater benefits than putting it on Si Ruxu.
Si Ruxu shook her head: "I can't communicate with it. It seems to be closed. I can't move it."
"Besides," Si Ruxu paused, a look of bewilderment etched in her words. "Nothing is gained inexplicably. Gain and loss are always equal. This ball of energy has given me these abilities, so it must mean I need to do something."
"After all... being so close to the end of the world isn't a good thing..."
The surrounding colors faded for the third time. This time, Si Qi felt that along with the underlying color of her heart, all the bright, warm, life-and-death moments between her and Si Ruxu... all the fragments were left here.
She was like an empty shell.
In front, the real Si Ruxu stood not too far from her, just standing there quietly.
Si Qi's vision was blurry and he couldn't see the emotions in her eyes, nor could he hear the words she said.
She was so tired that she didn't want to ask anymore.
She thought back to the first massacre. When He came, she and the mutant plant were so anxious, but Si Ruxu slept soundly as usual. In fact, she was not affected by the massacre.
She was not present during the second and third major crackdowns, so if she had not rushed over and grabbed Si Ruxu tightly during the first crackdown, she would not have been able to get in at all.
The third major crackdown was not because of her words or her actions that changed His cognition, but because the person who broke in was Si Ruxu.
Si Ruxu was the first human being who grew up under His personal care.
No wonder,
No wonder during the first major crackdown, He tried to kill her time and time again in his dreams, and Si Ruxu could sense her abnormality every time and wake her up at the critical moment.
No wonder He allowed himself to wander in the wind and rain of the last days for two years. It turned out that he was just an insignificant ant.
No wonder the little zombie’s energy will not be actively absorbed in his heart.
Her breathing was a little rapid, and her blurred vision became clearer with the falling tears, but was covered by the next tear. She was still unwilling to look at Si Ruxu.
All the things that happened in the past, the trust of life and death, have become ridiculous.
Si Ruxu tried his best to protect her life because she couldn't just throw her life away here, right?
Her fingers curled slightly, the gray walls around her began to fall off, and Si Ruxu's memory world collapsed.
Si Qi continued to move forward. With every step she took, the ground behind her collapsed. Finally, amidst the ruins and the sound of the world falling, Si Qi arrived in front of Si Ruxu.
She picked up Si Ruxu, blood-red lines appeared around her eyes, and she shuttled through the space at a high speed until she left here. The sunlight of the end of the world, which had no temperature, fell on her body, but it dispelled some of the chill that had penetrated her bones.
But she, in her body, seemed to have a bone that was soaked in the sticky soil of Si Ruxu's memory. It was painful and dark, and disgusting mud and water were dripping in her heart drop by drop.
She cares so much, but she can't do anything about it.
Over there, in the space isolated by her, her eyes fell into an amber bottom through a layer of hazy mist.
Her slow brain couldn't distinguish the emotions inside, sadness, despair, tenderness, hypocrisy. Or it seemed like it was all of them.
"It's good that she's out. What is she most afraid of? You two were in there for so long." Fu Jiateu looked at Si Qi with a smile. He ignored Si Qi's pale face and the tears in the corners of his eyes.
It would be even better if he could see the scene of lovers breaking up. He always enjoys watching such things. All lovers in the world should be suspicious of each other.
Ke Siqi didn't say anything. She staggered back a few steps and her eyes finally fell on Fu Jiateu.
Fu Jiatu's body trembled slightly, and even his arms froze. Although the other party was just looking at her, he could sense a tremendous darkness and coldness in those dark eyes.
"You said that those who persecuted that little girl and her girlfriend back then, that teenager counted as one, her father counted as one, and you counted as one too."
"Their father should have died a long time ago. As for the boy, her sister wishes him a good life. I don't care about her. As for the rest, you..."
Si Qi paused, and Fu Jiatu's smile gradually faded. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Si Qi like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity.
"You said you wouldn't kill me. As a savior, would you lie?"
"Of course the savior would not lie." Si Qi smiled softly.
As soon as Fu Jiatu's mouth corners rose, he froze in place. He lowered his head, looked at the hole in his heart that was pierced by the spatial power, and fell to the ground in disbelief.
Si Qi's smile remained unchanged. "But I'm not a savior, and besides, you deserve to die."
After doing all this, she opened the isolated space and looked into those complicated eyes from afar.
