Chapter 237 Hope and then despair
"There is no thunder anymore and the rain is much lighter"
Qin Xingyue stood up and looked at the gloomy sky with a frown.
Professor Li stood up and couldn't help but feel hopeful: "Is it going to end?"
Both of them understood the meaning of his words, but Qin Xingyue did not respond and her expression was not very good.
Judging from the time, the rainstorm is indeed about to end.
Professor Li noticed that Qin Xingyue was not feeling well. He said in a low voice, "Why, girl, are you unhappy?"
'Unhappy'
Qin Xingyue's voice was a little suppressed, because she knew that the end of the world was not over at all, and there would be other disasters after the heavy rain.
She remembered that before the heavy rain ended, floods and landslides occurred everywhere, and a huge tsunami occurred in coastal areas.
These disasters came quickly and violently, and in an instant, no one knew how many lives were taken away.
Although Haishi is not a coastal city, the continuous floods are still deadly dangers.
The memories of her previous life were still fresh in Qin Xingyue’s mind, and she could still remember those horrifying scenes.
Floods occurred one after another and all the cities were submerged. After the floods, there were swollen corpses everywhere, emitting a foul smell.
Then after a series of floods, extreme heat comes.
The continuous high temperature weather is so severe that the ground can cook the meat. Not only has eating become a problem, but even drinking water has become a big problem.
Every day people die of hunger, thirst or heat.
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were clear.
When she turned around, she found Professor Li looking at her.
She suppressed all her emotions. She was no longer the same person she was in her previous life. She was now prepared and would not make such a mess like before.
She smiled, as if the person with the frown just now was not her: "What are you looking at? Although I know I am good-looking, it is not polite to keep staring at me like this."
Professor Li snorted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am already over 50 years old. Do you think I will still be fascinated by beauty?"
Although the other party denied her words, he did not deny that she was good-looking.
Qin Xingyue was in a good mood and laughed a few times, then continued to tease the other party: "From what Professor Li said, it means that you were also a romantic person when you were young."
Professor Li did not deny this, he leaned back with his hands and looked into the distance: "When we were young, who didn't have a romantic life?"
Qin Xingyue raised her eyebrows, let out a few low laughs from her throat, and also looked into the distance.
At this time, Professor Li looked over and asked the question he had not asked just now: "The heavy rain is about to stop, which means that the end of the world may also be coming to an end. Are you unhappy?"
This time Qin Xingyue was very calm. She looked up at him and said nonchalantly, "More than a year ago, the heavy snow ended, the ice and snow melted, and many people thought that the end of the world was coming to an end. But look at you now..."
Qin Xingyue didn't say the rest, but Professor Li understood. The apocalypse has not ended yet, but the rainstorm continues. Who knows what will come after the rainstorm.
Professor Li was not aware of the previous blizzard. He was in that closed laboratory and had no idea of the situation outside.
He looked at the person in front of him, and suddenly he understood why the other person was unhappy.
He had not experienced what happened before, but the other party had.
I guess everyone was very happy when the blizzard stopped because the end of the world was coming, but in the end it brought another heavy rain.
It's extremely painful to finally see hope and then have it shattered.
It is estimated that the other party has experienced such a thing once, so he has such an expression at the moment, not happy, but more worried about what will happen in the future.
Professor Li's happy mood has faded.
What he just said was nothing more than his own fantasy, and he himself did not hold much hope.
However, as he was older and had seen more storms, he soon accepted the reality and kindly comforted Qin Xingyue: "There is no need to be too pessimistic. We humans will always find a way to survive and adapt to the new world."
Qin Xingyue agreed with this point. Their human adaptability is to wear. When the blizzard was extremely cold before, the temperature was so low that people couldn't stand it at first, but later everyone also adapted to such a low temperature.
Then heavy rain came, and everyone found a way out in this difficult environment.
The same is true for the extreme heat that follows. Some people die because of it, but others gradually adapt to that environment and survive.
Even in the seventh year of the apocalypse, there are still many people alive.
Qin Xingyue nodded: "There will always be people who adapt to the environment and complete the transformation, but this will also involve the lives of countless people."
Professor Li had nothing to say about this. He had only been out of the laboratory for a month or two and had witnessed too many tragedies and too many deaths recently, so he naturally understood what the other party said.
He just turned his head to look at the person who was old enough to be his daughter. How could the other person say such a thing calmly?
He had seen many people, but few could see through them as clearly as she did.
Qin Xingyue didn't have to wait long before Li Xiao and the others appeared, but their condition was not good.
Out of 5 people, only 4 came back, and all of them were injured. The woman named Huang Ping was even carried out by Chen Xuan.
When they saw Qin Xingyue, their eyes lit up. Sister Qin was indeed fine.
They also saw the person standing next to Qin Xingyue. Their pupils dilated slightly. That person was exactly the same as Professor Li they had seen before.
From the group of people who were harassing them, they already knew that the Professor Li they had seen before was a fake, and everyone had been fooled.
The fake Professor Li has been killed in anger.
So is this person the real Professor Li now? Has Sister Qin found him?
Qin Xingyue stepped forward quickly and took the person into her hands.
Chen Xuan quickly refused: "Sister Qin, no need, I can do it."
"We need to leave here as soon as possible. Just take care of yourself in your current situation."
Qin Xingyue spoke in a cold voice. She took the people directly and let them get on the boat.
Without waiting for Qin Xingyue to speak, Li Xiao told Qin Xingyue that another person in their team had died.
So after getting on the boat, several people did not stay and drove away directly.
All four of them were injured, but Chen Xuan's condition was better and he was driving the boat at the moment.
Li Xiao's injuries were slightly lighter. The other two people, Huang Ping, were in a coma, and there was another woman who was not in a coma but was also seriously injured.
There was a medicine box on the boat, and Qin Xingyue treated their wounds.
