The cruelty and bloodiness of the end of the world form a sharp and ironic contrast with the tranquility and comfort in the space at this moment.
For him, Yu Bai's space is not just a point for exchanging supplies, but more like a safe haven where he can temporarily let go of all his defenses and fatigue.
Yu Bai carefully mixed the last ingredient of the medicinal powder, then raised his eyes and looked at Han Yi, who was still a little dazed on the cushion opposite him.
His back was straight, like a javelin ready to be fired at any time, and his brows were filled with deep fatigue.
Yu Bai sighed in his heart.
The end of the world is like an invisible mountain, weighing heavily on the hearts of every survivor. No matter how tough a man you are, there will always be times when you feel suffocated.
After all, all she could provide was a corner of shelter, some supplies, and a chance to breathe.
As for that devastated and disordered world, it will ultimately be up to the people in it to rebuild it with blood and fire.
"Han Yi,"
Yu Bai's voice was clear and calm: "I believe that the darkness will eventually pass."
Han Yi's shoulders shook slightly, almost imperceptibly, and his originally scattered gaze instantly focused on Yu Bai.
Yu Bai met his inquiring gaze.
"With your ability, and those like you who choose to fight and protect in the face of despair, this devastated world will surely be revitalized and return to its former peace and prosperity."
After these words, Han Yi froze, as if he was instantly frozen into a silent sculpture.
The air seemed to stagnate for a few breaths.
He took a deep breath, the sound as rough as a drowning person finally struggling to the surface, the first breath he took was filled with biting cold yet extremely precious fresh air.
In those deep eyes, which were bloodshot due to staying up late for a long time and being under great mental stress, a look of deep disbelief first flashed across them.
Then, it was as if a spark that had been suppressed for too long was suddenly ignited, spreading rapidly, and with a loud bang, it turned into two balls of blazing and dazzling flames!
"Life...peace...prosperity?"
He spoke each word clearly, his voice hoarse and dry, with a slight tremor that he himself was not aware of.
The next moment, a look of complete and unguarded surprise and excitement suddenly appeared on his dark, resolute, and weather-beaten face without any warning.
"Xiaobai..." His voice was a little choked. "You... you really... think so?"
"Before," he said with a smile, "I wouldn't even dare to dream about this!"
"You know what? Every time I open my eyes, I think about how many of my brothers might not come back today, where I can find a bite to eat, and how I can survive another day in the tide of zombies!"
"The very words 'survive' have already exhausted all our courage and strength. Future? Vitality? What is that? Is it edible?"
His fists unconsciously clenched tightly at his sides, veins bulging on the backs of his hands, twisted like tangled tree roots.
"But now!"
Han Yi's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, and he stared at Yu Bai with a burning gaze. Burning in his eyes was a raging fire called "hope" that was enough to start a prairie fire!
"With the 'Spirit Gathering Array' you gave me! Xiaobai, it's you! It's you who made me, those of us who were wallowing among the dead, dare to think!"
