Chapter 10: A New Will
Ye Qingxue didn't seem to expect Mo Ran to say this, and she was slightly surprised, but she was obviously extremely smart, and immediately nodded and smiled lightly: "I'm honored." ”
A bright smile suddenly appeared on Mo Ran's face, looking at her beautiful face, it would leave everything behind, and she seemed to be a little fascinated by it. Crazy, he wanted to go up and hug her and kiss her.
However, looking at her light smile, like a face that does not eat fireworks in the world, I still forced this thought down.
Although the noodles are only paired with eggs, the cooking skills that have been cultivated by cooking by themselves for many years are not bad, and with pickles, it should already be regarded as a treasure in such an apocalypse.
Ye Qingxue seemed to have been hungry for a long time, and a large bowl of noodles was eaten by her after a while.
Mo Ran really admired her a little, such hunger had been endured without saying anything.
Once nightfall, the whole world is instantly confined to endless darkness, as if time has stood still. Mo Ran gave the bed to Ye Qingxue, and slept on the sofa by himself, tired for a day, and had a strong need to rest, if it wasn't for the fact that his mood had been crumbling, he was afraid that he would have fallen asleep early.
At this time, as soon as he lay down and closed his eyes, and in his mood was relaxed, he immediately fell into a deep sleep, and he even had a dream, a very beautiful dream.
It was clear blue sky, clear blue water, a small sandy beach with a few coconut trees. He lay quietly on a beach chair, looking sideways at the meeting with the sea that day.
The whole world is so quiet, only the sea breeze gently blows, stirring up the gentle sound of the waves, and the seabirds chirp softly in the distance, cheerful and free.
There is even a woman who is so beautiful, unique and beautiful, especially the infinite tenderness in that smile.
Normally, she is the most gentle goddess; When she smiled softly, she was the smart fairy again.
Mo Ran couldn't help but stepped forward to stare at her, gently took his hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled, so warm. Without the slightest concern, self-blame, pain.
She seemed to love him so much, her beautiful eyes were infinitely gentle, so beautiful that it seemed that there were only the two of them left in the whole world.
Until a roar, the tsunami came instantly, he seemed to see a figure, so familiar, riding the waves, majestic, powerful and mighty;
They were followed by a lot of people who looked like the whole world, with steel forks in their hands, angrily rushing towards them, engulfing the two of them in an instant and turning them into pulp.
"It's worth dying like this." It's just that why is my heart still so unwilling! Irritability and anger seemed to fill his heart in an instant.
Awakened, Mo Ran opened his eyes, and saw a pair of eyes that seemed to be misty in the soft light of the early morning looking at him gently, as if he was a little stunned, and tears flowed.
Startled, Mo Ran instinctively wanted to move, but felt that the figure in front of him was somewhat familiar, like the person in the dream, they were so happy until the end of the world.
"Haven't woken up yet? Or is God finally opening his eyes? ”
Those eyes were so beautiful, Mo Ran saw her, as if he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.
The other party is the same, the beautiful eyes are just looking at it like that, clear and confused.
It was as if tears had already flowed, leaving shallow traces on that beautiful face, faint and blurry.
"For what? Fear? Is it painful? Or sadness? ”
I don't know why seeing her like this, Mo Ran also seemed to want to cry, and then it really flowed uncontrollably. It even seems like it's going to get out of control.
The girl obviously seemed to be a little stunned, and stretched out her elegant hand as if to help him wipe it, but that hand was instantly held by another big hand.
The two looked at each other, and at this moment, the two hearts, which should have been extremely strange, seemed to suddenly overlap magically, and their hearts were imprinted with each other.
……
……
Mo Ran looked at the person lying quietly in front of her, her beautiful face was tightly pressed against his palm, and her two pairs of eyes looked at each other for a long time, as if the two flames burning were tightly attracted together.
Although time did not stand still, the two of them seemed to have stopped time.
It wasn't until the girl gently closed her calm gaze as if she was tired that time seemed to flow again.
"It's ......"
Thinking about it, Mo Ran didn't dare to imagine that he would do such a thing, or in such an apocalypse where life and death were just around the corner.
Or maybe you can't suppress the madness in your heart. It's like to burst out all the madness that has been suppressed all my life at this moment to fill all the regrets in my heart that I haven't been able to do.
And the other party is the same, completely ignoring everything else, which is a little scary.
Mo Ran looked at her, the corners of his mouth could only smile helplessly, and he couldn't help but ask himself: "Is the world really desperate when it becomes like this?" ”
As if she felt Mo Ran's eyes change when she looked at her, she slowly looked back at her calm gaze, looked at him like that again, and after a while she asked again:
"When do you think we're going to die, and how?"
She asked plainly, as if she were asking what she was going to eat this morning.
"We will not die, we will never die." But Mo Ran replied so categorically, as if everything was supposed to be like this.
The girl seemed to be puzzled, and frowned slightly, but did not speak, only pressed her face more tightly against the boy's palm.
"We're not going to die." Mo Ran is making such decisions over and over again. I don't know why, but I'm obviously more reluctant to die like this.
It's so beautiful, how can you give up so easily!
The girl just looked at him as usual, and after a long time she turned her gaze to the ceiling, and said softly:
"I don't know why, I don't want to die either, can you let me live? I don't want to die either. ”
"You know what? I used to want to die every day, every day I wanted the end of the world to come, but I just wanted to die myself, and I never wanted to kill others.
But the end was finally what I was looking forward to, and I didn't die, but the others I didn't want them to die did.
I think this must be God punishing me, punishing my ignorance, punishing my cowardice, and making me live with pain and guilt all the time. ”
But for a moment, before the words of guilt and pain could be finished, tears were already streaming down their faces.
The hand that held him tightly was so tight, and the cry was so sad and painful, that the body that was lying on his stomach trembled violently, and the hand he held was even tighter.
What else could Mo Ran do, listening to her words, such sad and painful cries, such tears like the Yellow River.
All he could do was look at her with a more tender gaze, and then reach out to wipe her.
It was so sad, it was so endless, but he could not stop, because he knew that what she was sad about, what she was suffering about, and what she felt guilty about was also his share.
Because he is the same sinner as her, the one who looks forward to the coming day and kills his relatives and friends for an unforgivable and heinous sin.
But because of this, such a sin cannot die, and it must never die.
Because they are sinners, they must be forgiven for it.
And the way to forgive sins is to take this sin, with the relatives and friends who have died, to live better than ever, and to cherish your own life.
So his voice was even more categorical.
"We are all sinners, sinners who are unforgivable and sinful and sinful, even if it is for forgiveness, we must live well, live forever."
The two of them lay in despair as if they had forgotten all their fears, and they were unwilling to get up until the sun rose and then the middle of the day.
But in order to survive, the warmth of this moment, the mutual comfort of two lonely souls at this moment, must be abandoned.
So Mo Ran seemed to have finally made a decision:
"I know a way to strengthen the body to achieve one or two times the strength of a person. If both of us are strengthened, and with some small means, even if there are hundreds of zombies around below, there is hope to rush out. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Qingxue's eyes when she looked up, and didn't wait for her to reply before he said: "It's just that there are many things that need to be overcome, and it will be very painful, but if we want to survive in this world, we must overcome them, and I believe you will be able to do it." ”
Although Ye Qingxue listened carefully, she didn't reply to him, just put her cheeks on the pillow and changed to a more comfortable position, lay down gently, and closed her eyes.
Mo Ran didn't urge her, he knew that this was her farewell, with her previous self and the world that had passed! If she has seen herself fight, she must have seen what she has done.
I don't know why, Mo Ran has an intuition, the reason why there are some energy crystals and some are not, which reminds him of the couple zombies he killed for the first time, and the scene he saw downstairs when the disaster first broke out.
He had seen both of those two people and had already been killed by him, but among the dozens of zombies he killed, the first to turn into zombies to bite others had that kind of energy crystal.
So he came to the conclusion that maybe only the body that naturally turned into a zombie at the beginning would have that kind of energy crystal.
And, most crucially, why that passage was said so solemnly.
Because of the mysterious phenomenon of the sudden disappearance of the signal, he had a hunch that this information was a confidential matter set by the creators of this catastrophe, and that he had to find himself acting to be effective, at least at this moment.
But why there is no effect on the back, it's not clear, maybe it's too little, or some other reason, after all, it's already a miracle that one can make people transform the same growth, if each one has such an effect, then what's the disaster? How could the author of such a catastrophe want to see it?
Yes, since that incident, Mo Ran has decided that this catastrophe will never be so simple, and may just be a game of God.
What if you just know it? Not reconciled? No matter how unwilling you are, no matter how angry you are, you still have to struggle to live, to live for the sin of the doomsday that you are looking forward to.
"I know, I will do it, thank you, from now on, I will definitely try to live."
Softly, Mo Ran smiled at her as if he already knew that she would say this, and seemed to look at her face reluctantly, as if he wanted to be completely imprinted in his heart, and hesitated for a while before he gently said to himself: "Don't die, you must live well." ”
Ye Qingxue didn't speak, just kissed his lips lightly on his hand, which was counted as a response.
When the two got up, the original warmth seemed to turn into embarrassment in an instant. Mo Ran knew very well in his heart that yesterday's warmth was just two lonely souls comforting each other. The reason for the initiative is nothing more than the unpredictable impulse of the despair of the end.
As for love? Although there will be love, it may develop into love, but in such an apocalypse where today does not know what will happen tomorrow, what can love be? That would only make the two of them more miserable in the end.
The two of the most intelligent people, how could they not see these things, it can be seen from the original strangeness in the eyes of each other that they are now tender, but they can't help but refrain from it, maybe it would be good to make this night the best memory.
Walking out of the door, he didn't rush to wash and fill his hungry stomach, so Mo Ran hurriedly went out to find out which rooms had zombies. From top to bottom, each room has and how many there are, and then mark it.
What surprised him was that there were 8 of the 36 suites in the entire nine-story building, and there were several in some of them, so according to his speculation, there were at least eight energy crystals. Except for the one that Ye Qingxue will inevitably eat, that is, there are still seven that can be divided, Mo Ran has already eaten four, and with these seven, maybe the two of them can evolve again.
If it is really the same result as predicted, then it is more hopeful to deal with the zombies surrounding below.
It's just that when she came back and saw Ye Qingxue's obviously unwell, Mo Ran's heart seemed to sink a little, although there was no pain on her face, she was also resolute, but how could she bear it.
He clearly knew that those zombies had been harmed, except that they had no intelligence, they were much stronger than ordinary humans in terms of strength, and they would not be in pain, unless they hit them with a fatal blow, there was a high chance that they would be injured.
Just Ye Qingxue, a weak girl, is unwell, and if you want to go, you are afraid that she will be sent to death directly.
Mo Ran felt that he was really not thinking well, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Forget it, let's be more appropriate." Mo Ran shook his head guiltily, and then took the axe and walked towards the door on the side.
The door of the apartment was just an ordinary wooden door, and with his current strength, he twisted it open in three or two strokes under his unpleasant anger.
Open the door, the zombies inside immediately pounced on him, a total of two, an old man and a few years old, they except for the skin changed color, the description became withered, the rest still maintained the appearance of life, there is no sign of decay, it seems that as long as they are not killed, these zombies will always survive like this.
Silently wheeling the axe is two axes, one in front and one behind the two zombies are just an instant matter to be solved, in such a narrow place, as long as you guard the door, it is really easy to deal with.
Without saying a word, he stepped forward to dig the energy spar, and as expected, he immediately found the same spar in the child's eyes, which surprised him very much, if so, maybe he found a shortcut to rapid growth.
