16 years

Chapter 216 "I hope we can all spend an ordinary life"

Liu Ruosong's eyes fell on the invisible piece of flesh, he stared at it for two seconds, then his expression suddenly changed, he turned his head and rushed out of the operating room, bent down and retched uncontrollably.

Fu Yan followed out silently, stood beside him and patted his back, bent down and put the trash can in front of him.

"I'm sorry, brother." Liu Ruosong waved his hands and said vaguely, "I can't help—"

Adding up several restarts, Liu Ruosong has also stayed in the apocalypse for more than ten years.He has seen countless zombies, and even dissected quite a few of them himself—but none of them made him so disgusted.

He thought that he had long been used to death and blood, but he didn't expect that reality would break through his bottom line again and again.

The most dangerous place is the safest place, Liu Ruosong thought, so that child has been with Irene from the beginning to the end.

It was born of a deformed bloodline, and it should have exited sadly as a tragic ending, but who knows that Joe Eden is an out-and-out lunatic, so he insisted on implanting it into Irene's body.

Like a parasite, Liu Ruosong thought.

Liu Ruosong really wanted to use a gentler way to think about this matter, but he really couldn't do it, he just felt nauseous, that thing didn't have the beauty of reproduction at all, it lived in Irene's body like a parasite, sucking her flesh and blood.

This thought made Liu Ruosong even more uncomfortable. He frowned, bent down deeply, and vomited acid water uncontrollably.

Fu Yanshun patted his back, circled around, and poured him a glass of pure water from the lounge next to him.

"It's okay." Fu Yan whispered, "I understand."

Fu Yan didn't expect that the starting point of the disaster he cared so much about had stayed by their side for so many years.

But after thinking about it, he found it reasonable—when Joe Eden handed over Irene, he originally wanted to "storage". He didn't know that there was such a variable as Fu Yan in the world before, so he was very nervous all the time. He was sure that Yancheng would not dare to really hurt Irene, and no matter what, he would have a bargaining chip to exchange for Irene from Yancheng, so for him, everything was so seamless.

It's a pity that there is one more Fu Yan in this world.

"I have read Shao Xuefan's research records." Liu Ruosong said in a low voice.

Fu Yan knew that he must be talking about the last restart, because only that time, Shao Xuefan really did systematic research in the laboratory building.

"When he dissected Irene, Irene reacted very badly." Liu Ruosong spit out his throat a bit hoarse, he took a breath, took the water glass and rinsed his mouth, and then continued: "I thought she was just hurting— — just like you were then."

"But now it seems that it's not entirely true." Liu Ruosong said.

At that time, Shao Xuefan received the news in advance and knew about Fu Yan's special physique.Then his experiments with Irene started to get wild and rough.But no matter what, Irene was stable most of the time, only that time, she erupted with an astonishingly terrifying power, which surpassed the limit of her power detection, causing the death of many people in the laboratory building.

It was hard for Liu Ruosong to imagine how Irene "lived", whether as a "container" or as an immortal virus extractor.

He put himself in the same place as others, and only felt that if he fell into that situation, he would have wished to die a long time ago.

"Perhaps for her, death is a relief." Fu Yan said.

It was difficult for Fu Yan to understand this kind of feeling. For him, no matter what the situation was, his first reaction was always to persevere. Maybe as long as he persisted, things would turn around.

But he restarted it a few times, and he had to admit that maybe sometimes eternal sleep itself is a kind of peaceful relief.

Liu Ruosong nodded.

He agreed with Fu Yan's point of view, but he still couldn't let go of it for a while.

The complicated and chaotic emotions piled up in his chest, choking him to the point of nausea.

He spat out two mouthfuls of acid water, rinsed his mouth, and threw the cup into the trash can.

Fu Yan held his back beside him, patted him cautiously, then bent down slightly, and hugged Liu Ruosong.

Liu Ruosong leaned on his shoulder to charge the battery for a while, and then let out a long breath, and escaped from the disgusting stress reaction just now.

Twenty minutes later, Fang Sining came out from finishing work, looked around at Liu Ruosong and the others' faces, and asked hesitantly, "What should we do next?"

Fang Sining didn't know the story behind Irene, he knew very little about this huge conspiracy, he could only glimpse the tip of the iceberg, so he didn't have such a big reaction as Liu Ruosong.

At most, he felt sorry for Irene, and nothing more.

"Do you need to dispose of it harmlessly?" Fang Sining asked.

Fu Yan looked at Liu Ruosong when he heard the words, Liu Ruosong hummed, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, please leave her to me after it's over."

Fang Sining said yes.

During these days in the laboratory building, he and Liu Ruosong had handled many discarded zombie samples, so they were quite clear about this process.

Fang Sining took Irene to the incineration place. An hour later, he returned and handed Liu Ruosong a small box.

Irene's genes were modified a lot by Eden One, and her skeleton was also much smaller than others, leaving only a handful of ashes in the end.

The area behind the mountain of Yancheng Military Region is very high, not suitable for mining and farming, and no one usually comes. Liu Ruosong greeted Zhao Jincheng, and then buried her on that mountain with Fu Yan

People in country A don't pay attention to burial, but Liu Ruosong still found a shady and secluded place to bury Irene.

Fu Yan dug a deep hole for him, then held his hand and helped him fill it up bit by bit.

People seem to have the heart to sympathize with others only when they are safe. After the successful drug experiment of Eden No. [-], Liu Ruosong felt that his empathy, which had been frozen for a long time, had returned to his body. He stroked his hand Looking at the blank wooden sign, he turned his head and glanced at Fu Yan.

"What to write?" Liu Ruosong said.

"Whatever you want." Fu Yan said, "Just write her name."

Liu Ruosong nodded, and wrote the word "Irene" on the simple tablet.

Liu Ruosong didn't write her last name, because he always felt that perhaps Irene herself didn't want to have anything to do with her shallow and cruel life.

Irene has been a vassal of the Aiden family for half of her life, and a "mirror" of Joe Eden for half her life, and finally became a petri dish that is worse than death. It seems that none of these piles belong to her "own".

Only at this moment, in front of these two "strangers" from a foreign country, did she finally break away from the shackles of her surname and become a pure person.

Liu Ruosong squatted down, he stretched out his hand to support the simple tombstone, and said in a low voice, "I hope she can be an ordinary person in her next life."

It was a fine day, cloudless and warm.The hem of Liu Ruosong's clothes was lifted up by the wind, and then slowly fell from midair.

Fu Yan stood behind him, Wen Yan reached out and pressed his shoulder.

"I hope we can all live an ordinary life." Fu Yan said.

The next chapter will be the end of the main text, I am so reluctant QAQ, I have been reluctant to write it, I always feel that there will be no QAQ after writing [but it doesn’t matter, there will be extras after the main text is over!These days, I have thought about it carefully and struggled for a long time. Finally, I decided to keep the main text at a more open-minded ending, and then I will set all the post-disaster reconstruction parts separately in the extra volume~]
