Chapter 225: Longing for the Light
In the center of the city of the Ares Base, in a special ward of the Central Hospital.
In this era of extremely tight medical resources, even the Grandroom is not as luxurious as imagined, with white walls, alloy beds, a few bouquets of flowers and a sofa that make up the main composition of the Grandroom.
At this moment, there was a thin girl lying on the hospital bed, lying there quietly, staring out the window, without a trace of blood on her face, and a young man sitting next to the hospital bed was talking to the girl.
"You've been in a coma for a long time. Liang Zhijin sat on the edge of the hospital bed, holding a small fruit knife and peeling an apple, and the apple peel maintained a continuous straight line under Liang Zhijin's deliberate control, and landed accurately in the trash can.
McLean's words did not respond to Liang Zhijin's words, in fact, since Liang Zhijin came, McLean's posture has been maintained for two hours, and he has not said a word, most of the time Liang Zhijin is talking to himself.
Liang Zhijin didn't care, he knew that Mai Leyan must be very uncomfortable now, just like when he was expelled from the God of War Palace, he was exiled to Yueyang City and met Duan Yating, and he also responded to the other party's concern with this cold and violent attitude at that time.
Speaking of Duan Yating, I don't know what happened to that cat-like young lady now, saying that Duan Yating and McLean are also quite similar, they both lost their only loved ones, presumably Duan Yating is also hiding in a dark place and sobbing now, that strong woman, Liang Zhijin sighed, put the peeled apple in a small dish and cut it into small pieces, and handed it to McLean, "Eat a little, the medical staff said that you have been refusing to eat since you woke up, and it has been ten hours." ”
...
Why is this girl so dead-eyed?!
Liang Zhijin couldn't help but be angry, this girl is simply not in oil and salt now, no matter what Liang Zhijin says or says, McLean just doesn't say a word or move.
"I'd rather never wake up. A hoarse voice rang out.
Liang Zhijin, who was a little bad, was throwing a piece of apple into his mouth, when he suddenly heard McLean speak for the first time after waking up.
"But what's the point of that?" Liang Zhijin swallowed the apple in his mouth, and was silent for a while before he spoke: "Mai Tian definitely won't want you... Uh..."
Liang Zhijin's persuasion stopped abruptly, because he saw that McLean was looking at him in a daze, and the tears of beans, sad tears, and heartbroken tears were pouring out one after another from her eyes that were as pure as the moon and the starry sky.
She just looked at Liang Zhijin in a daze, she just let her tears run down her cheeks one after another, and then fell onto the white sheets, "How do you know that Tiantian doesn't want me to die with her?!"
"She's so young, she's afraid of the dark, she's afraid of being alone, she's afraid that she won't see her sister, so much she's afraid of..."
"She always believed in me, but I didn't protect her..."
"My heart hurts so much!"
Looking at McNugget who was emotionally collapsed in an instant, Liang Zhijin was a little overwhelmed, he didn't know what to say to comfort the current McNugrise.
Perhaps, there is no way.
"Mai Tian and I told me that my sister has become strong now and can protect her in the slums. ”
"I don't have to be afraid of the bullying of those scum anymore, I can bring her delicious food every day. ”
"I also planned that in two months, with the subsidy of the God of War Palace, I can let Mai Tian go to school..."
Liang Zhijin sat next to McNugyan's hospital bed, listening to McNugha keep telling about the promise that could never be fulfilled again, Liang Zhijin did not interrupt her, but kept listening.
But in the end, Liang Zhijin felt more and more wrong, as McLean kept talking to herself, her steady breath gradually became disordered, and a strange spiritual power fluctuation enveloped her.
"Hey, McNuglife, wake up!" Liang Zhijin grabbed McNuglife's shoulders and made the latter face him, only to see McNuglife's pupils filled with blood, and a tyrannical mood similar to that of a strange beast was brewing in it.
But McLean's mind was still very clear, and she asked Liang Zhijin very, very seriously: "Liang Zhijin, am I wrong?"
The blood in the pupil had already infected the entire pupil, just a little closer to the center.
What kind of question is this? How do I answer? How do I answer that?
Liang Zhijin's head is running at a speed beyond the limit, if it is according to the normal bridge, should he say seriously: "It's not you who is wrong, but the world?"
There is a high probability that you will really fall into the paranoia that will destroy this wrong world.
But if it's McNuggets who are wrong, then what is wrong with her?
Is it wrong that I don't have enough strength to protect my sister?
Then McNuggets will probably fall into self-denial and destroy the wrong self.
"I think..."
Liang Zhijin looked at the stunned McNugget and took McNuggets into her arms with her not too broad embrace, without any other special thoughts, just to give a warm hug to a girl who had lost her faith.
Sometimes people just need a warm embrace, like owning the whole world.
Mai Leyan was taken into Liang Zhijin's arms like this, the scarlet color in her eyes seemed to have dimmed a lot, she did not resist or speak, as if she was waiting for Liang Zhijin's answer.
"I don't know the answer, I can't even find the answer to my own question, but..."
"Can I accompany you on your journey to find answers?"
"In addition to the small number of people who escaped from Yueyang City before you, we have formed a hunter team together, whether you want to take revenge on society... Oh no, whether you want to get revenge on the fantasy species or live out the rest of your life in peace, we can be with you. ”
"We're your new family..."
"Come on, join us, McNuglet. ”
Mai Leyan, who buried her head in Liang Zhijin's arms, couldn't see her expression, her body was constantly trembling slightly, and after a long time, Liang Zhijin didn't speak again.
Outside the window, a round of sunset slowly sets below the horizon, and the sun seems to be so dazzling, but the light is still there.
...
After that, Liang Zhijin talked to Jiang Nan'er on the phone, explained the relevant situation of McNugrea, and asked Jiang Nan'er to prepare another bedroom.
Jiang Nan'er also happily agreed, although she didn't know much about the relationship between Mai Leyan and Liang Zhijin, but since she was a survivor of Yueyang City, everyone was a family.
After taking the still somewhat weak McNuggets to go through the discharge procedures, Liang Zhijin felt that while the sky was not completely dark, he took McNugget to the nearby streets to go shopping, and bought some daily necessities by the way, after all, McNugget would live in Jiangnan'er's house for a long time in the future.
During this period, some very embarrassing things happened, because Liang Zhijin bought several sets of daily necessities in the supermarket, including new clothes and bedding, so when the conscientious staff asked Mai Leyan if she needed bread, Liang Zhijin was stunned and asked what bread was.
McLean blushed slightly and said that it was something for girls.
So Liang Zhijin thought that there were still a few girls at home, waved his hand, and said arrogantly: "Then bring us a few boxes of bread, to bake hot!"
