Duan Xiaolin was not surprised.
This matter could not be hidden from her.
Because she herself could clearly feel something was wrong with her body.
He didn't intend to keep it a secret forever, causing unnecessary misunderstandings between them.
"What do you know?"
"It's all speculation," she said. "I'm not as reactive to zombies and parasites anymore. Before, when I encountered them, I'd be tormented by the virus, uncontrollably indulging in self-harm. It was excruciating pain, and it was incredibly difficult. But now... I can feel that whether they exist or not, their influence on me is gradually fading."
But she still couldn't quite figure out why this happened and what the side effects would be.
Apart from this one point, everyone else can probably guess something from his behavior.
"Maybe it'll be a good thing for you? You won't be a corpse-spotted corpse anymore, looking out of place among humans."
"If you're really a good person, why would you be so forceful and not give anyone at headquarters any respect in order to seize the crystal core?"
Duan Xiaolin gently stroked her face: "You don't have to worry about anything. I will bear all the consequences of everything I do. You don't need to feel guilty."
"You know, this is impossible."
Even if he was willing, she couldn't.
She said, "Don't look for crystal cores anymore. These are enough."
"As long as I am not absolutely sure about love, I will never give up."
Pei Xiqing sighed.
He won't listen to any persuasion.
I will never compromise or give in.
I'm afraid this matter is not that simple.
So, the next day, Pei Xiqing went straight to Qiu Chao.
Qiu Chao seemed to have known that she would come and had been waiting for her for a long time.
He took off his mask and gloves, came out of the laboratory, and took her to sit in the office.
After pouring her a glass of water, he said, "Miss Pei, are you coming to me for the crystal core or for your own health?"
“Both.”
He lowered his head and smiled secretly.
I guessed it a long time ago.
"What do you want to know?"
"Brother Duan's search for the crystal core is directly related to my recent physical condition, right?"
"That's right."
Pei Xiqing continued to ask: "I used to have a strong reaction to zombies, why is it getting weaker now?"
Qiu Chao pondered for a moment before answering, "It's because the virus in your body is disappearing."
What's the meaning?
"Before, you weren't infected after being bitten by a zombie, but you only developed corpse spots. This means that the zombie virus actually infected you, but it was suppressed by another virus in your body. This virus is twice as powerful as the zombie virus, so with this virus suppressing it, you won't be infected by ordinary viruses. The same principle applies to parasitic viruses."
"Another virus?"
He said: "For the time being, I will call this virus - X."
Qiu Chao stood up, his back to Pei Xiqing, and toyed with a crystal core with his fingertips, explaining: "X has covered the other viruses in your body. Now its power is beginning to wane. You should be able to imagine what will happen next."
Pei Xiqing murmured, "...Once it disappears, the other viruses in my body will be out of control and begin to exert the power they have been suppressing for a long time."
"That's right."
Qiu Chao threw the crystal core in his hand into the air, and then grabbed it accurately in his palm.
"You'll be in agony worse than death. The virus that's been accumulating for so long will instantly infect your entire body, leaving you powerless to fight off the consequences." He said with regret, "Yesterday I almost thought there was a chance. I thought you were pregnant, and that the virus could be transferred to the child, and you'd be dead."
Unfortunately, she was not pregnant.
Pei Xiqing shook her head: "I won't let you do that."
Qiu Chao shrugged, "If you were really pregnant, Brother Duan would probably be more decisive than anyone else."
Pei Xiqing's face turned pale.
"Now, Brother Qiu Chao also doesn't know why X disappeared?"
"I don't know." This was his only regret, and his face grew grim. "This thing was already very stable in your body, and you're the only one who has it. This is the first time I've seen it. It's extremely rare. It should have long since fused with your blood and bone marrow. But somehow, it started to fade."
This situation generally does not occur in medicine.
If it happens, it is very likely that... her body has been transformed overnight, or all the virus cells in her body have been extracted or forcibly taken away.
But such a situation is simply impossible to happen.
She had never encountered such a situation before.
No one could approach her at will, let alone the possibilities mentioned above.
He and Duan Xiaolin also discussed and studied this matter for a long time.
Can't find the correct solution.
Qiu Chao confirmed again: "The last time I checked your body at the Third Base, there was nothing wrong with me. I integrated very well with your body. Later, after leaving the Third Base, have you ever been drowsy or felt any unusual pain in your body?"
Pei Xiqing was absolutely certain.
"No."
"That's strange."
He was in trouble and kept writing something in his notebook with a pen.
Every stroke is full of confusion.
Pei Xiqing was silent for a long time.
When she first came here, it was this world that gave her this ability, but now... is it going to take it away?
If that is really the case.
Then her final ending is still death.
After Pei Xiqing came out of Qiu Chao's office, he sat alone around the training ground on the old district side, looking at the group of soldiers training behind the iron fence. He stayed alone for a long time.
I have always been worried that the deaths of Xiao Yue and Pei Yanting will lead to the collapse of the world order.
Every step is taken carefully.
Only after forcing them into a desperate situation did they send them on their way.
The current world collapse phenomenon did not occur, but all these developments have completely deviated from the original setting.
But then he turned around and told her that after all these twists and turns, her ending hadn't changed... What about Brother Duan? His ending would also go around in circles and end up back where he started. Was all this destined to be in vain?
No, she doesn't believe it.
This kind of situation will never be allowed to happen.
