Chapter 50: The Curtain Falls (Asking for Tickets)
The whimpering wind swirled back and forth over the moor, as if it had become the only sound between heaven and earth; Occasionally, ugly-looking insects followed the light around the campfire, and when they saw the five people by the fire, they fled away in a panic.
In the silence, Opus asked Sim Xue, "...... you Did you steal Harvey's points card? β
Leng Buding heard Opus ask this, Si Moxue was a little flustered, and various scenes from the junior wasteland hunter assessment site flashed in front of her: "Huh? Be...... However, I was ...... I'm sorry for them. β
Si Moxue wanted to explain something, but then changed her words, since everything has happened, everything seems like making excuses-
She was afraid that she would say too much like this, and she would think that she had done nothing wrong.
Seeing Si Moxue's flustered appearance, Opus suddenly chuckled: "I thought you would defend a few words." β
Si Moxue lowered her head and said nothing, and after a while, her muffled voice came from under her knees: "What I have done, I will not be proud of it because it is right, or ashamed to mention it because I have done it wrong...... If I am unfortunate enough to cause harm to others, I will do my best to make amends. β
"Really......"
When Opus heard this, he gathered the expression on his face and looked at the flames that were dancing in the windβa bonfire made of broken branches and dead leaves, but it was still not burning strong enough, and before the pillar of smoke could rise into the sky, it dissipated in mid-air.
Do you know why people can't make mistakes sometimes, because some mistakes cause damage that needs to be repaid for a lifetime or even a lifetime, and they can't afford to pay it back.
"What if you can't make amends?"
ββ¦β¦ I did the best I could. Si Moxue rested her head on her knees, revealing a large burn wound on the back of her neck and back that had not yet fully healed.
Opus's gaze naturally fell on her back, Si Moxue was already white, and her skin became a little rough after days of running, but the newly grown skin on her back was so white in the firelight.
He looked away a little uncomfortably: "Ahem, what are you like this...... What is the self-healing ability of earthworms? Aren't you a purebred human? β
"It used to be." Si Moxue answered, and then sighed, "But I'm not sure ...... now."
"So you got this ability all of a sudden?" Opus frowned when he heard thisβwhen he was still in the family, he happened to hear his father talking to someone about the main city, didn't he......
No, no, no, Si Moxue has lived outside the oasis for decades since she was born, how could it have anything to do with that incident?
Besides, that incident has only been in the past for a few years, and now there are only rumors left chasing after the wind.
"Si Moxue, do you know that earthworm hybrids, as well as these hybrids who only have the ability to heal themselves, are called the most useless hybrids?" Opus put aside the ridiculous conjecture in his mind and asked.
Si Moxue shook her head at first, and then remembered that Opus might not be able to see her movements clearly in the dark, so she said, "Why? β
Opus shook his head when he saw her, and then heard her ask, "Because these hybrids have no ability to attack, their physical fitness is extremely poor, and every time they use their self-healing ability, it is at the cost of shortening their lifespan. β
"So Si Moxue, you know what I mean, right?"
"I understand." Si Moxue's long hand touched the unhealed wound on his back, and there was a tingling pain there, "I will use it as little as possible in the future." β
"That's good."
When Opus had finished speaking, he said no more.
On the other side of the bonfire, sitting was Yuichi Nakura.
He sat closest to the fire, and he had two coats on his body, but the whole person was constantly trembling as if it was extremely cold, and even Si Moxue on this head could hear the impact of his upper and lower teeth when he shivered.
"Yuichi Nakura, are you alright?" Liang Wenruo, who was sitting next to him, couldn't listen anymore and asked with concern.
"Don't come here!" Yuichi Nagura screamed like he had hit a ghost, and opened Liang Wenruo's outstretched hand with one palm.
Liang Wenruo: "......"
He withdrew his hand in pain: "What's wrong with you?" β
The moment he made brief contact with Yuichi Nakura's hand, he found that his hand was violently trembling and cold like a dead corpse.
"Vomit ......"
Yuichi Nagura stood up suddenly, stumbled to the side and vomited, spitting out a large pool of bloodstained and foul-smelling black dirt.
After vomiting, he held the ground weakly with his hands, and said with a desperate face: "I'm done......"
"Yuichi Nakura, what's wrong with you?" Si Moxue stepped forward and saw the pile of dirt on the side, and understood most of it, "How can this be?" Didn't I pick out all the eggs? β
A bleak smile appeared on Yuichi Nakura's face when he heard this: "Those eggs the size of millet have actually been integrated into my blood for a long time, and I can feel those larvae that have hatched, crawling and biting in the deepest part of my body. β
As he spoke, he vomited uncontrollably again, and among the dirt he spit out was a fragment of internal organs.
Yuki Nagura wiped the residue from his mouth and continued, "The saliva they secrete numbs my nerves, and I don't feel pain, but the slightest wriggling sensation of the larvae crawling is really deep into the bone marrow. β
He suddenly trembled violently, and his chattering teeth even bit his lip to bleed: "They, they're about to come out!" They're about to bite through my skin and crawl out of me. β
"Nope! No! Noβ"
Yuichi Nagura was like crazy, and his hands were groping around his body: "They want to ...... from here." No, here, no, they're going to crawl out of here. β
He ripped open his clothes, his nails scratching his body with deep blood.
"Yuichi Nagakura, calm down and don't hurt yourself." Liang Wenruo tried to grab his hand.
"Help me, help me...... I don't want to die......" Yuichi Nagura suddenly knelt down a few steps, grabbed Opus by the waist, and pleaded.
"We'll figure it out, you have to calm down." Opus grabbed him by the shoulder and comforted.
"Ahhhhh Black-red blood flowed from his forehead, making it creepy in the light of the fire.
Just when everyone was at a loss and was going to forcibly hold him down. Yuichi Nagura stopped, collapsed to the ground, half-closed his eyes, and said to the tank who walked in front of him: "Team leader, you are good, save me......"
Si Tank stood in front of Yuichi Nakura, looking down at Yuichi Nakura, who was lying on the ground and convulsing. After a long silence, he picked up a knife and slashed at Yuichi Nakura's neck.
"Team leader, who are you?" Liang Wenruo was surprised and wanted to step forward and grab the knife.
Si Tan stopped him and said in a low voice: "He can't live, give him a good time." β
Yuichi Nagura struggled to get up from the ground, clutched the bleeding wound on his neck, and screamed, "No, I don't want to die, I finally managed to escape from the fire...... I also pulled Link and asked him to pad my back......"
Perhaps he felt that there was no hope of survival, and began to babble nonsense.
"It's you- I said why Link didn't get out." Liang Wenruo listened to his words, reprimanded angrily, and then remembered that he was about to die, and silently moved out of the way.
Tank stepped forward and slashed Yuichi Nakura's intercarotid artery with another knife.
Blood spurted out, and Yuichi Nagura twitched and fell to the ground: "I really ...... I don't want to die......"
The words drifted in the wind.
Si Moxue and Opus bowed their heads and were silent - this man who usually fights fiercely looks like he is not afraid of death, but it really comes to the point of life and death, but he is extremely cowardly, and even does things that harm others and benefit himself.
It's like a nation in history.
Several people threw Yuichi Nakura's body into the flames below.
The fire had gradually decreased, and the remaining tongues of fire lingered.
All the survival and despair, fear and sin that once happened here will be turned into a bunch of smoke and a handful of ashes with this overwhelming fire, which will eventually drift away with the wind.
It's just that all the survivors who have experienced these things will remember everything in their minds and remember it.
