Chapter 375: Desperately Seeking Death
After hearing Ling Hua's words, Qiao Yu and Ling Shu were stunned for a moment, and even Jiang Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Origin? What does that mean?" Qiao Yu asked urgently, "Could it be that the red rain at the beginning of the apocalypse, as well as the subsequent changes in the world and the mutations of all creatures, were all caused by that red crystal?"
"I'm not sure." Ling Hua shook her head. "But at least the biological mutation should be caused by that stone. Han Min is the best evidence."
"Han Min?" Qiao Yu frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt on his face.
"Yes." Ling Hua nodded. "Han Min accidentally ate a small piece of crystal at the beginning of the apocalypse. Before he ate that crystal, he was a polio patient."
Polio?!
No wonder... No wonder Han Min said before that Han Ming had promised him that he would never let anyone look down on him again...
It turns out that Han Min was once a polio patient?!
"So... Han Ming suspected that it was that crystal stone that changed Han Min's physique?"
"That's right." Ling Hua pursed her lips. "Captain Qiao should also know that all mutants who mutated due to the alienation reaction had signs at the beginning of the apocalypse. But Han Min was not a mutant at the beginning of the apocalypse."
"His supernatural powers and the series of changes in his body all started when he accidentally ate that crystal."
"It is precisely because of seeing the changes in Han Min that Han Ming wants to obtain crystal samples again, because he wants to do further research."
"But as you all know, there are often a large number of alien species guarding the vicinity of crystals. They are very sensitive to crystals, so Han Ming has never been successful and has lost many people."
"But not long after, you returned with the crystal. So Han Ming naturally set his sights on the crystal in Professor Kang's hand."
"As for why he is so obsessed with capturing Professor Kang and Professor Shen, it's also because of that crystal."
"Han Ming believes that Professor Kang and Professor Shen are both very talented people. This crystal has been in their hands for so long, so it is very likely that they have already made some research results. That's why he has been trying to control the two professors and ask them to reveal the secret of the crystal."
As expected...
Han Ming tried so hard to capture Professor Kang and Professor Shen, it was indeed for the crystal.
If, as Han Ming speculated, the crystals were the source of the apocalypse, then why did some creatures develop superpowers while others were reduced to mindless aliens? How did they choose the mode of mutation? And how did they affect the environment and weather?
Qiao Yu's mind was full of questions.
But no amount of questions could suppress the shock that gushed from the bottom of my heart.
Who could have imagined that the source of all the suffering in these last days would be a few stones!
"Miss Ling, is there any other information?"
Ling Hua shook her head. "No more, that's all I know."
"Actually, I don't have much contact with Han Ming. If he doesn't have any tasks for me, I usually won't take the initiative to contact him. And... I think he's actually wary of me."
Ling Hua said this and suddenly smiled slightly, "But now it seems that from his point of view, he was right to be wary of me."
Qiao Yu listened to Ling Hua's self-deprecating tone and pursed her lips slightly, "Ms. Ling, thank you so much."
Ling Hua shook her head upon hearing this, "If you really want to thank someone, thank my sister."
"Little paintings..."
"Sister, if I return all my energy to you now, can you still survive?"
Ling Shu was stunned at first, then a trace of panic flashed across his face, "Xiao Hua, what are you going to do?"
"No... it's useless... I can't survive... Xiaohua, Xiaohua, don't do anything stupid!"
When Ling Hua heard Ling Shu's words, she didn't show any disappointment, but instead smiled even more. "It's actually possible, right?"
"Sister, you stuttered when you spoke just now... You still can't lie like when you were little..."
"I didn't... I just..."
Ling Shu bit her lip and quickly denied it, but Ling Hua didn't wait for her to finish and interrupted her again.
"Sister, can I ask you for a favor?"
When Ling Shu heard Ling Hua say this, she had a bad feeling. She paused and opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Ling Hua didn't hear Ling Shu's answer, but she wasn't angry. She just continued to talk to herself, "Do you remember? I've loved water lilies since I was a child."
"I've actually kept the water lily seeds you gave me in the early summer of that year."
"There are two water lily seeds in total, both in the small bag under my pillow. I kept them before to keep myself alive... but now, I'm returning them to you."
"Can you help me grow them and show them to me...?"
Ling Hua always had a smile on her face when she spoke.
But the tears in her eyes soaked the corners of her smiling mouth.
"Not good..." Ling Shu shook his head desperately after hearing that.
She reached behind her and grabbed Ling Shu's wrist. Trying to control her emotions, she choked out, "Xiao Hua, let's... let's grow it together, okay?"
Ling Hua looked at the hand that was holding her wrist so tightly that the fingertips were slightly white. She exerted force on her hand gently and broke free from Ling Shu's shackles. Then she slowly placed her hand in Ling Shu's hand and clasped their fingers tightly.
Just like...the way they used to hold hands.
"But sister... I'm really too tired..."
"I really can't survive this."
As soon as Ling Hua finished speaking, Ling Shu and Ling Hua's bodies instantly stretched out and quickly switched to the form of twin lotus flowers.
Immediately afterwards, the stem at the bottom of Ling Hua suddenly trembled slightly, and the originally thick, green and vibrant stem began to quickly become thin and dull.
At the same time, the stems on Ling Shu's side suddenly began to grow stronger.
"Little painting!"
Ling Shu was shocked and subconsciously wanted to stop Ling Hua's behavior, but among the two of them, Ling Hua was the real psychic.
Ling Hua used mental restraint on her, making her unable to refuse her energy input.
She could only quietly feel Ling Hua's vitality gradually draining away.
"Xiao Hua...don't...don't leave your sister..." Ling Shu was already in tears at this time.
She cried like a wronged child, her voice full of pleading.
"I never left you... I finally found you... Please... don't leave me..."
"We agreed to be together forever..."
