Chapter 170: Not Holding Back
Maybe she shouldn't have come in here. She should have listened to Su Ming and stayed outside.
In this world, her usefulness is too small. She can neither fight monsters nor gather intelligence efficiently, and she can die easily.
Just as Su Ming said...she was holding him back.
No, he hasn't been a drag, at least he hasn't caused any trouble to Su Ming yet. I just don't know how Su Ming is doing now, has he defeated the plague bringer?
He has the annihilation mode, so he shouldn't lose. In the end, he will definitely catch up with her. Maybe he will take the right path, or maybe he will take her wrong path.
But no matter which path he took, he would eventually get back on the right track, and that was all thanks to her...that's why she didn't hold him back .
Xia Xiaoyu put her hands on the fire and kept stretching and retracting her five fingers, trying to keep them flexible, but the strange feeling in her body did not disappear. Instead, it became stronger. This shattered the last bit of luck in her heart, and there was no possibility of her condition being alleviated.
She will die.
What a bad luck! I am so unlucky. If I had known earlier, I should not have been so slow. I should have pushed Su Ming aside and forced him to have a child when I just met him.
In this way, even if she died in there, she would leave a thought for herself outside. After Su Ming went out and saw his children, he would probably think of her occasionally.
Besides, she has never been a mother, and it was impossible for her to be one in this lifetime. She should have seized this rare opportunity long ago.
Ah, that's not right. According to the time, she and Su Ming had known each other for less than a year. Even if she got pregnant on the subway, she still couldn't give birth to the baby. And she would have to die with a child, which would be too bad.
The unborn baby is innocent, and Su Ming might be desperate to save her because she is pregnant. By then, maybe one will have to deal with three people, and she doesn't want that.
As expected, this is the best ending now. It would be nice to die alone quietly.
Xia Xiaoyu lay on her back on the cold ground, looking at the uneven rock top. Scenes from her long life emerged in her mind. The snow and wind of the Ice Island passed by her eyes. Her body seemed to sink into the deep sea of Atlantis. An unprecedented tranquility enveloped her.
The scenes she had imagined in the secret room for lovers were now replayed in front of Xia Xiaoyu. She saw herself kissing and hugging Su Ming in the spiritual salt field under the moonlight; she saw herself in the wooden house by the lake, wrapped in the same animal robe as Su Ming; she also saw the lake in the winter, cold and silent, the bonfire illuminating him and her on the shore, and the ambiguous atmosphere between them becoming stronger and stronger.
When she and Su Ming grow up and have children, their mentality will change, and the way they get along will also change. She will call him in the most intimate way. What should she call him? Ming, or husband?
Xia Xiaoyu stared at the top of the cave, blinked, and thick tears of blood slid down from the corners of her eyes.
I'm not willing to accept it. I really don't want to die like this. My life has been stagnant for ten years and just started to move forward, but it ends just like that?
...Forget it. The most important thing for people is to accept reality. Everyone is equal in the face of death. Actually, if you think about it carefully, I am not a good person either.
When she was with that group of demons, she killed a lot of innocent people. In the beginning, in order to find someone who could see her, she also did a lot of crazy things.
No matter from which angle you look at it, she is an out-and-out bad person, and it is right for people like her to die.
But before she died, she had to do something. Perhaps in the future Su Ming would accidentally enter this cave and find her body. Su Ming would definitely be very sad then. She'd better write a letter and leave him a few words to cheer him up.
Oh, by the way, being poisoned to death by the virus would be very ugly, and I really don’t want Su Ming to see it... After writing the letter, I’ll jump off the cliff.
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoyu propped herself up and tried to sit up, but found that she had no strength left in her body and even moving her fingers was difficult.
She felt a little regretful and blinked. Dense black spots appeared in her field of vision. Soon these black spots filled her field of vision. She could see nothing and hear nothing.
But the hallucinations she had before reappeared, and she suddenly had a good impression of the corrupt man, thinking that this hallucinogenic effect should also be caused by the virus.
It seems that the virus is a very gentle one. Although it takes people's lives, it does not cause painful death. After a slight paralysis, it is a beautiful illusion.
Xia Xiaoyu felt a warm arm hugging her, and the touch was as real as if it were real. In the end, she actually died in Su Ming's arms... Ha, that's great.
Under the influence of the hallucination, Xia Xiaoyu found that the numbness in her body gradually disappeared, and slowly the sense of touch returned. She sighed comfortably, smiled, reached out to hug the other person back, and then hugged him.
The black spot in her vision slowly disappeared, and a face appeared in front of Xia Xiaoyu. It was Su Ming's face.
"How are you?"
Su Ming's face was pale, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, looking like he was poisoned. Xia Xiaoyu was shocked and tried to break free from his arms, but Su Ming held her tightly.
"Don't move! There's still some toxin that hasn't been removed. Wait a moment!"
"Su Ming? What's wrong with you? Are you poisoned too!?" Xia Xiaoyu was shocked.
"No, I'm transferring the poison from your body to myself, so stay quiet and don't move." Su Ming said calmly.
Although he now looks very scary, as if he is poisoned and incurable, Su Ming is actually very calm. These toxins are nothing to him. He can feel that after the toxins enter his body, the speed of their spread slows down significantly, almost to a standstill.
If Xia Xiaoyu's body had not been seriously poisoned, Su Ming would not even have shown any symptoms of poisoning after using [Xia Xiaoyu Exclusive].
"No, you can't do this!" Xia Xiaoyu was at a loss, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Calm down, I'm immune to the poison now. Please don't disturb my treatment, okay?" Su Ming said with a little impatience.
Xia Xiaoyu was stunned, blinked, and a few tears fell.
She calmed down again and lay down obediently. She believed what Su Ming said was true.
Immune to toxins? And it can transfer toxins. In this way, won't both he and Su Ming be able to survive? !
Great, is this a gift from God?
"You survived... That's great... Did you defeat the plague bringer?" Xia Xiaoyu asked softly.
"Well, I'm super powerful. I didn't even turn on the annihilation mode. I just used my superpowers to kill him directly." Su Ming boasted.
Xia Xiaoyu rubbed her head against Su Ming's chest, her mouth slightly raised: "Why are you not wearing any clothes?"
"It was all burned. Clothes are not resistant to fire. They all turned to gray in a flash."
Hearing this, Xia Xiaoyu reached out from Su Ming's arms, reached into the storage box No. 7 next to her, pulled out a furry blanket, and wrapped Su Ming and herself up. She looked at the blazing bonfire and exhaled a breath of hot air: "This will make it much warmer."
Su Ming had been holding Xia Xiaoyu, who was already in a near-death state. It would take a lot of time to transfer all the negative state of near-death to himself, so he said, "Xiaoyu, go to sleep first. When you wake up, nothing will happen."
Xia Xiaoyu wanted to say that she wanted to accompany him, but perhaps because her body had just consumed too much energy in fighting the virus, she was really very sleepy.
Now she felt very warm and comfortable in Su Ming's arms, so she did not object. She tilted her head into Su Ming's arms, moved her body, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.
…
"Xiaoyu...Xiaoyu."
Xia Xiaoyu was awakened by a faint calling voice. When she heard Su Ming's call, she opened her eyes.
There was a bright bonfire in front of her, and she was lying on the ground covered with a fur blanket.
Xia Xiaoyu stood up and looked around in confusion.
"I'm here."
The voice came from behind. Xia Xiaoyu turned around and was shocked to see Su Ming's appearance.
"Su Ming, what happened to you? How did you become like this?!"
Xia Xiaoyu stumbled over to Su Ming.
The other person's skin was a sickly pale color, with purple-blue blood vessels throbbing slightly beneath the epidermis. His eyes had turned completely blood red, with red tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Xia Xiaoyu wanted to touch Su Ming, but he said:
"Don't touch me! It might...it might be contagious."
"Wait, you, didn't you say you would be fine?" Xia Xiaoyu said in surprise, her hand stopped in mid-air, not knowing what to do.
"I didn't expect this virus to be so powerful. I... miscalculated." Su Ming showed a miserable smile on his face, "Xia Xiaoyu, I have always liked you... Although this confession is a little late, I don't want to take this feeling to the grave... I like you."
"Stop it, now is not the time to say such things!"
Xia Xiaoyu wiped the corners of her eyes and put her hand on Su Ming's hand. Su Ming's hand was incredibly hot, scorching hot.
"Just transfer the poison back to me! Wouldn't that be okay? Or we can each take half! If we can hold on a little longer, maybe we can both be saved!
Two people can always hold out longer than one person. We just need to set off immediately to find the next person. As long as we find the next person, we can transfer all the viruses to that person! Wouldn't we be able to survive this way?"
"Sorry, I think... it's unlikely, I... cough!"
Su Ming spat out a mouthful of blood, and there seemed to be some pieces of meat in the blood.
"Hurry up!!!" Xia Xiaoyu cried out at the top of her lungs.
Su Ming blinked, shook his head, and smiled miserably: "It's too late...too late."
After saying this, Su Ming's head drooped and his hands fell weakly to the ground.
"Su Ming! Su Ming! Su Ming, wake up! You can't sleep!"
