After saying this, Pei Xiqing himself was stunned for a moment.
In the original plot, these words seemed to be spoken by Pei Yanting.
At that time, the protagonists discovered the darkness of the base and the ulterior motives of the controller. Everyone was indignant and joined forces to denounce the group of people in the base headed by Duan Xiaolin. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and began to plan how to expand their power, completely overthrow the base's rule, and rescue everyone trapped in the base.
Later they really became a couple.
Franlun completely disappeared in the apocalypse, and everyone's whereabouts were unknown. Duan Xiaolin also failed in the duel with Xiao Yue and died in his hands.
Pei Xiqing was a little dazed.
She unexpectedly became the same as Xiao Yue and Pei Yanting invisibly.
Maybe it has something to do with her ability to absorb those crystal cores.
The crystal core gave her a new life, and also made her more or less shoulder some of the protagonist's mission.
Unfortunately, no matter what, no matter how many things she possesses that belong to the protagonist, opportunities, abilities, compassion... she will never be either Xiao Yue or Pei Yanting.
She was just herself, and nothing could change her determination to stand with Duan Xiaolin.
Pei Xiqing pushed open the door and went to the villa where Duan Xiaolin had lived before.
There is an ocean hot spring outside.
Duan Xiaolin had brought her here last night.
At that time, she had only seen this mysterious villa from afar in the hot spring and had never actually walked in. She had never expected that she would actually live here when she came back this time.
Shadow followed her, his usual silence returning beneath the mask. Only when she tried to push open one of the doors on the second floor did he whisper, "This door hasn't been opened in three years, and only Brother Duan has the key."
"What's in it?"
"There are some old files lying around. They're all from before the apocalypse. Brother Duan worked in the military before the apocalypse, and most of these files are his documents from before that time. They've been piling up for a long time, and now that the apocalypse is over, these things are no longer needed, so they've gradually become unused."
Pei Xiqing nodded, "Okay."
Shadow opened a wooden door on the side of the corridor. The intricately carved patterns on it were very retro and elegant. The layout of the room was even more elegant and grand. Except for the subtle chill in the night, everything else was good.
Her fingers gently stroked the furnishings in the room, the tables, chairs, and bookcases...
It's as if I can sense some lingering memories of the man living here alone.
Everything was clean and tidy, but a layer of dust couldn't stop falling on the windowsill.
Ying explained: "Brother Duan originally didn't plan to come back to live here."
"Why? It's such a nice house, it's such a shame to leave it empty."
Ying was silent for a moment, "Brother Duan once lived in this villa and personally killed all his infected family members, including his mother."
Pei Xiqing paused.
Looking back at him: "Why are you here?"
"Secret execution," he said. "The base was very unstable at the time. Brother Duan's family members were infected and turned into zombies. Once captured, they were injected with drugs, imprisoned in cages, and tortured in every way. At the time, those people hated zombies with all their heart. Even if the drug might have preserved a trace of their original sanity, Brother Duan still killed them with his own hands, not wanting them to become exhibits at the base."
Pei Xiqing took a deep breath, "No wonder he doesn't want to live here anymore."
"That closed room was originally the room where my mother lived a while ago. Later, it was piled with documents, erasing all traces of its existence."
"He rarely tells me these things. Thank you, Brother Shadow."
"Brother Duan didn't say it because he didn't want you to worry, and he didn't want you to think that he was truly a cold-blooded and heartless person who would kill all zombies. He might be cruel and decisive to others, but he'd be different to you. I'm afraid that even if you really turned into a zombie, he would take you away, or try every possible way to save you, just like this time."
"I know." She sighed.
She also knew that Duan Xiaolin was indulgent and accommodating to her.
Even she didn't know why he was so tolerant of her in the first place.
Pei Xiqing came all the way here by car, went to the water dungeon and saw a lot of things. In addition, his body had just recovered not long ago, so he could hardly open his eyes as soon as he sat on the sofa.
Yingzi placed hot meals on the table and reminded her to go to bed early before leaving.
She struggled on the sofa for a long time and almost fell asleep several times before finally getting up and eating a few bites of food. Then she went to the bathroom to take two hot showers, changed her clothes, and finally climbed onto the soft big bed to sleep.
