Chapter 66 Then You Will Replace Him

Since Gu Huaishan's death, the power operation of the entire camp has fallen into chaos and difficulties.

Although Jiang Xianchuan provided a large number of solar panels, the power supply in the camp was still often faced with the embarrassing situation of severe shortage.

Today, the sunshine is particularly bright. This day is the day when Bai Su leads his team to return from pioneering work.

Qi Xiaoyao had been waiting at the gate of the camp since early morning, feeling anxious and uneasy. When Bai Su's familiar figure finally appeared at the end of his sight, he could not wait to greet him.

Before Qi Xiaoyao could speak, the excited Bai Su shouted, "Where's Brother Huaishan? I have good news for you. We have gained a lot from this trip! I have to find him and report it!"

However, facing Bai Su's happy face, Qi Xiaoyao simply replied: "He's dead." These three words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting the hearts of everyone present.

"What? Dead? Who... who died? Brother Huaishan? How is this possible!" Yi Yuzhi widened his eyes and stared in disbelief in the direction where Gu Huaishan once lived. His voice trembled with extreme shock and grief.

Then, he turned his head abruptly, his eyes fixed on Qi Xiaoyao, as if he wanted to find any trace of a joke on the other's face.

Seeing this, Qi Xiaoyao took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and began to narrate everything that had happened during this period of time in a heavy but calm tone.

After hearing this, several people had no reaction at all, especially Yi Yuzhi. His face turned pale and his lips trembled slightly, as if he didn't believe it.

"This... this can't be true, right?" Yi Yuzhi widened his eyes, looking at Qi Xiaoyao in front of him with disbelief, his voice trembling, but Qi Xiaoyao stood there quietly like a sculpture, not saying a word. The deathly silence was like a heavy hammer, hitting Yi Yuzhi's heart hard, and instantly made his world spin.

Beads of tears as big as beans rolled down from Yi Yuzhi's eyes, first one or two drops, and then burst out like a flood. The tears blurred his vision, but he seemed unaware of it. He just stood there stupidly, letting the sorrow and despair swallow him. Then, he seemed to be suddenly drained of all his strength. His body trembled involuntarily and a low sob came from his throat.

However, not long after, the whimpering sound turned into a heart-wrenching howl that echoed in the air, breaking the heart.

For Yi Yuzhi, Gu Huaishan is not only an ordinary stranger, but also the first ray of warm sunshine he encounters in this doomsday full of crisis and despair.

At that time, he had completely lost contact with the outside world and had no way of knowing the safety of his parents. The supplies he had brought with him were about to run out. Just when he felt extremely helpless, Gu Huaishan appeared before him like a god descending from heaven. He not only saved his life, but also brought him back to a safe camp and gave him meticulous care and attention. As the days passed, Yi Yuzhi had already regarded Gu Huaishan as his closest elder brother.

"I must find him!" Yi Yuzhi wiped the tears from his face abruptly, his eyes as firm as a burning flame. Before he finished speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation, his steps staggering but extremely determined.

"Hey, where are you going!" Seeing this, Bai Su on the side hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, but Yi Yuzhi was completely immersed in his own thoughts at this time, turning a deaf ear to Bai Su's shouts and walking straight forward.

Soon, Yi Yuzhi arrived at the place where Li Lingyu practiced daily. He rushed forward with great momentum and grabbed Li Lingyu's collar tightly. His originally clear eyes turned red with anger and grief. He stared at Li Lingyu intently and asked with gritted teeth: "Why do you want to kill him? Why!"

"He actually had thoughts that he shouldn't have." Li Lingyu looked at the man in front of him coldly. After hearing this, Yi Yuzhi thought to himself: Yes, what qualifications do I have to question Li Lingyu? After all, it was Gu Huaishan who first had the intention to kill him, and what Li Lingyu did was just to be on the safe side and prevent future troubles.

Thinking of this, Yi Yuzhi slowly loosened his clenched fists, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. Then he turned around and left aimlessly like a walking corpse without a soul.

Yi Yuzhi walked aimlessly, not even knowing where he was going. His steps were heavy and slow, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. Finally, relying on instinct, he numbly returned to the room that belonged to him.

As soon as he entered the room, he slumped in the chair like a deflated ball, with every detail of what happened today constantly appearing in his mind. Those scenes were replayed in front of his eyes like movie scenes, making him feel exhausted. Recalling the hardships and difficulties he had experienced after the end of the world, he felt that life was no longer meaningful and hopeless.

So, with trembling hands, he took out the sharp dagger that had accompanied him for many years from his arms, and without hesitation, he cut a deep gash on his wrist. Blood gushed out instantly, staining the table red, but Yi Yuzhi seemed to be unaware at this moment. He just lay quietly on the table, waiting for death to come.

However, fate did not seem to let him go. When Yi Yuzhi opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by concerned faces.

Bai Su was the first to notice that he had woken up. An expression of excitement that was hard to conceal appeared on his face. He shouted loudly: "Xiaoyue, he's awake! Come and see!" Before he finished speaking, a woman came quickly. It was Lin Pianyue.

She first carefully lifted up Yi Yuzhi's injured hand and carefully examined it before she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not serious anymore. The wound will heal on its own. Just be careful not to let it get wet in the near future."

"I..." Yi Yuzhi opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Jiang Xianchuan who was standing next to him.

Jiang Xianchuan looked solemn and said hurriedly, "I know what you want to say, but don't say it first, listen to me! I know you feel extremely sad and upset about Gu Huaishan's death, and I can fully understand your feelings. Although I may not be qualified to say so, after all, he died because of me. However, you should know that Gu Huaishan has always treated you very well. When you were arrested and imprisoned before, When he came to rescue you, he racked his brains and tried every means to save you! So, can't you just continue to live with the hope of Gu Huaishan? Of course, you can resent me, or even Ling Yu. But if you really choose to give up your life just because of his departure, don't you feel that everything he has done for you in the past has been wasted? "

After Jiang Xianchuan finished speaking in one breath, he stared at Yi Yuzhi in front of him with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see through his innermost thoughts through his eyes. After hearing these words, Yi Yuzhi seemed to have suddenly lost his mind, and he stood there in a daze, not saying a word for a long time.

To be honest, before this, he had never had the slightest thought of living in place of Gu Huaishan. Now that Jiang Xianchuan mentioned this, he couldn't help but start thinking about this problem.

At this moment, Bai Su, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. She explained softly, "Oh, it's like this. Xiao Yu told me that you looked very strange when you left. I was really worried, so I rushed to your house to look for you."

Hearing this, Yi Yuzhi slowly raised his head and looked at Bai Su. His lips moved slightly and he uttered two words: "Thank you..."
