"Dead...dead...actually dead?!" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
The man mumbled incessantly, as if trapped in so emotion, unable to care about what was happening in front of him, his two arms unknowingly dropped back down.
After lowering them, he suddenly rembered and hurriedly raised them again.
Looking at him, Lu Xi'an felt that he was indeed afraid of Yao Wei and him attacking him, or perhaps he wanted to avoid conflict with others.
"Of course, if he wasn't dead, how could you have co from that side?"
The man said again, then once more began to murmur, "Dead is good...dead is good..."
"Do you know him?"
Lu Xi'an asked. He originally planned to leave as soon as Yao Wei returned to the car, but hearing what this person said, he realized that this man was acquainted with the Fish Rider.
To be familiar with the Fish Rider, perhaps like Shu, he is from the old world.
So, could he inquire about so matters of the old world with this person?
"Gou, did you alert us to this man because he resembles Shu and the Fish Rider, or is there another danger?"
Lu Xi'an took advantage of the mont when Yao Wei hadn't climbed back onto the roof, and Gou was being held by Yao Wei, swaying in the front passenger seat, to verify with the chanical dog.
Gou's eyes shone brightly for a mont.
Lu Xi'an was completely reassured then, it seems indeed Gou classified this person and the previous Fish Rider as the sa kind due to his physical condition.
Seeing Gou like this, Yao Wei wasn't in a hurry to return to the rooftop.
Just like Lu Xi'an, she looked at the man.
The man nodded and said, "I know him, his na is Liang Xiaobin. We knew each other since we were kids, both from Liangcheng County.
"Later on, I ca here alone and hibernated... I suppose it's called hibernation?
"Unexpectedly, after two sleeps, I have beco an old man... and he is also dead... alas... I was clearly still a kid...
"Used to want to grow up... but why is it like this now? Alas... I've sighed a lot..."
The Fish Rider was indeed Liang Xiaobin.
Lu Xi'an couldn't see this man as a kid at all; from his tone and logic, he didn't seem like a child, at least not younger than a college student.
Lu Xi'an paid no attention to his gloomy reflections, but asked: "How can you hibernate?"
"Hibernate? I don't know either..."
The man's expression was lost in thought, recalling for a while, but seed unable to understand, and sighed again, "It should be because of the strain receptor, right?
"Anyway, back then we all beca receptors to resist the cold disasters.
"Later, the cold disasters got worse, and the receptors couldn't withstand it, so we got injected with an improved serum, becoming improved receptors.
"Later, our skin started to rot, and I ran here alone, and fell asleep, for a long ti.
"Now when I wake up, I feel like I'm about to die, like I could die of old age at any mont... alas..."
He sighed again.
His words skipped many details, and what he said, Lu Xi'an had long guessed.
What Lu Xi'an was more curious about now were past events.
"What happened back then? Why did you co here?"
Lu Xi'an asked again.
The man suddenly froze, after a long while finally said: "What happened? Many things happened...
"Cold disaster...war...receptor illness..."
"What war?"
Lu Xi'an pressed on.
The man shook his head: "I don't know...anyway, I don't know. We were too young, only knew that my parents, Liang Xiaobin's parents, were drafted away... along with many others..."
At this point, he suddenly gritted his teeth, "But why... only Liang Xiaobin's parents sent sothing back?!
"That Type C strain, they say it's the new receptor serum that can save lives! Where are my parents? Why no news at all?!
"I don't want any serum, even a letter would be nice! Why is there nothing?!"
The voice was deeply mournful, making one feel as if the speaker's face should be covered in tears, yet Lu Xi'an saw that the man's face, with its exposed white bone and muscle, and rotting skin, was dry and cracked, without a single tear.
Who knows, maybe the torture from the past Type D-1 strain damaged his tear glands too, so now he can't shed a single tear.
"Then what?"
Lu Xi'an asked again.
"Then...then..."
The man recalled again, "Then we hid on the mountain, he wanted to give the new receptor serum, wanted to use it, I didn't want it.
"It was sothing his parents gave him, not mine. I just felt he was lucky, I was unfortunate, it's all fate.
"I let him use the serum himself, so he could recover. As for , finding a place to die was best.
"But suddenly it started raining, and who knows what fell from the sky, made a pit beside us.
"We both fell into the pit, passed out. When we woke up, the pit was full of green water.
"I didn't think about it then, when I woke up I felt fine, he had serum so he could recover, but I would continue to rot to death, just like others.
"I didn't want to stay there, felt I would envy him, so I left, ca all the way here.
"Now thinking about it, what's lucky or unfortunate? In this world, is anyone truly lucky? Alas...
"Anyway, I ca to Gu County later, and there were hardly any people left here.
"I really wanted to sleep, felt inexplicably that if I fell asleep, I wouldn't die. So I found a place and fell asleep, didn't expect to sleep for so long.
"I wanted to see how Liang Xiaobin was so I went back to Liangcheng County.
"But unexpectedly, that guy had been soaking in the reservoir, and the water in the reservoir was just like in that pit, all turned green.
