"Why is this happening?"

Looking at his blackened arm, Kane gritted his teeth and asked himself what he had done wrong.

But if you think about it, there are a lot of details that are not clear.

For example, the Void is the opposite of matter, so the flesh and blood of the Void creature will dissolve the organic matter, and he presses the nail piece on himself in this way, causing it to be corroded.

In the same way, why can't Keisha be corroded? Could it be that the monster has been dead for too long, and the piece of armor he used has lost its vitality? Or is it only possible to have a specific part of the nail?

In addition, the symbiosis thing is also unstable, it has been 3,500 years since the fall of Acacia, and I don't know how many people have been dragged underground by monsters, but there is only one case of symbiotes like Keisha so far.

It's like being infected with a virus, and not necessarily one of the millions of people can produce antibodies.

Perhaps Keisha's success is a coincidence within a coincidence, and even if he imitates the process exactly, he may not get the same result in the end......

Is there really no chance?

He was angry, Kaisha had succeeded with such a small success rate, why couldn't he?

But to give up trying is to die, and Kane prefers to believe that he did something wrong that led to failure!

He won't give up! He'll try until he dies!

When Kane suppressed the fear in his heart with almost crazy hints, the frightened Keisha directly dropped the dagger and pressed his right arm, and howled:

"Whew, what are you doing here? You don't need to prove it, I don't disbelieve you! ”

Keisha didn't quite understand what Kane was trying to do, but she felt very sad and sad to see her only companion hurt her like this.

Now she felt that her skin pain was nothing compared to Kane's.

"Didn't I say it, only monsters can survive here, I have to become a monster." Kane replied with a sigh.

Keisha is actually about the same height as Kane, and the girl's development period will come a little earlier. Coupled with her deformed arm, Kane was too strong to break free.

"You don't have to be a monster for me......" Keisha lowered her voice and turned to sobbing.

Keisha won't be deceived so simply, what's the good of becoming a monster? She thought Kane was doing it to comfort herself.

For that ridiculous sense of identity...... But how can those people trade their lives for them?

She's lost everything, and she really, really doesn't want to lose the few friendships she has anymore.

Kane is not dominated by emotion like Kesha, and a part of his sanity keeps his brain clear. He noticed a rustling sound coming from above, like the scraping sound of giant insects crawling.

"Let's talk about it in another place, it's not safe here."

Kane asked Keisha to pick up the dagger and spear, and the two quickly left where they were.

……

Somewhere in an underground tunnel, Kane looked away from his blackened arm.

The wound is not swollen and white, in fact, it is already the best result.

If the wound dissolves and swells, and the skin swells and ruptures, and a fluid that reflects like amniotic fluid comes out, it means that something has been born in him. Organic matter is broken down into pale matter and reconstituted into evil life.

This is different from the kind of symbiosis in Keisha, which is a completely deadly parasitism - the monster devours and absorbs the host's nutrients, and finally bursts out like an alien.

He looked at her and whispered, "Eat quickly." ”

"I'm not hungry." Keisha was leaning against the rock wall and was angry with herself, saying things that defied Kane's orders.

It was only after listening to Kane's words that she had just listened to Kane's words that caused his arms to become like this, and now his skin had turned a terrifying black and purple hue, like bruises all over his hands.

"Bear the gas bag, and only when you are full can you have the strength to kill monsters."

Kane wasn't angry, though, as he walked over and took the last peach from the pile of food that had been placed at her feet, covered it in a cashmere sweater, wiped it carefully, and brought it to her mouth.

"Eat it, this peach will rot if you don't eat it, and this may be the last time you eat a peach."

This sentence made Keisha, who had gradually become sensitive in recent days, directly shed tears: "Why are you still thinking about killing monsters when you're like this." ”

"I can't become a monster without killing monsters, and it's still the same sentence, only by becoming a monster can I survive here."

"But why! Why do you insist on becoming a monster? Is it bad to be human? ”

Turning into a monster was a terrible thing for Keisha, and she couldn't understand how Kane could be so calm when he said such a thing. It's terrifyingly calm, as if the human being has the soul of a monster in its appearance.

But she could really feel his kindness to her, which she had never felt in him before.

Kane has become reliable and can take care of the girl's feelings, but at the same time she has become a stranger, and her limited knowledge cannot comprehend this transformation.

Is this the growth of a large population?

Seeing that she insisted on not eating, Kane took a bite himself. As long as she behaves a little more optimistically, Keisha's guilt will not be so strong.

"Look, how juicy it is, don't you want to taste it?" He handed over the bitten peach, and this time Keisha didn't refuse again, holding the peach and holding his hand.

It seems to be hesitating to push it back, or to eat some.

"Isn't it easy to die? If I don't want to live, I'll find a place to die quietly, and you can't find me if you want to. And now that I'm here to share food with you, do you think I'm the one who wants to die? Hey, do you want me to feed you? How old are you......"

"I eat, I eat, you have a chest ache to say less, I... I'm not mad at you. ”

Kane coughed heavily, and a panicked Keisha finally took a bite of the peach, and took another big bite where Kane had bitten, and the teeth marks of the two were stacked on top of each other at the edges.

This time she tasted no longer despair, but crisp and juicy sweetness.

The taste of hope.

Happy, content, wanting to be alive, being alive to experience this feeling.

Kane waited for Keisha to finish the peaches and a few pieces of dried lamb before taking a sip of the water bag himself.

He said, "Eat a little less food, Keisha, what are we going to do when we're done eating all this?" ”

Hearing this, Keisha almost spit out the things and restore them to their original form.

yes, what if you run out of food?

"Village...... Village. Keisha replied hesitantly, but she also knew that it wasn't the way out.

Aside from the ruins of the village, nothing edible could be found underground. Once they've eaten those, they really don't have anything to eat.

"We don't know how long we're going to survive in this underground, maybe years, maybe decades, maybe we can't get out until we die. If you want to live, you have to plan now. Kane said.

Keisha looked at the bag that was already missing nearly half of the food, and thought to herself that this would not last that long no matter how much she planned it.

She couldn't think of an idea, she could only listen to what Kane wanted to do.

"According to my observations, there is no shortage of monsters in the underground. If we want to live, we have to eat them. ”

"You still want to kill those monsters!" Kesha's face suddenly turned puffed up, and then she managed to make herself angry and cry again: "Kane, are you stupid? Your hands rot just by touching them! If you eat it, how can you survive! ”

She wiped her tears and put her arms around Kane's arm to keep him from doing anything stupid, but now it was clearly herself who was stupid enough to bubble up her nose.

"I didn't say to eat with my mouth." Kane reluctantly wiped her tears with his sleeve, and then said:

"Come, stretch out your hand, and I'll show you."
