His eyes were bloodshot, and he spoke to her coldly, his voice slightly hoarse and muddled, mixed with a roar that didn’t belong to humans.
She was so scared that even her heart seed unable to beat, and her legs went weak, collapsing to the ground unable to get back up.
Under the dim streetlight, she finally saw clearly that the black on his body wasn’t injuries, but... everywhere were... scales!
Those black scales had already spread across his entire chest, climbing up his neck, and perhaps soon his face would beco like that too!
"I won’t leave!" She didn’t know where she found the courage, rushing over to tightly embrace him, "Lu Shifeng, I won’t leave! You’re sick, did you catch sothing on the mountain? I will support you, co with quickly. I’ll wake the driver to take you to the hospital!"
"Get out, get out!"
She held him in her arms, his body stiffened, the warmth and fragrance of a living person’s body and blood enticing the mutating cells inside him, every organ in his body was cheering and screaming at him to eat her! Hurry, eat her! His eyes turned blood red, sotis back to a normal human color, but almost instantly red again...
Two different forces wrestled inside him, he simply couldn’t control himself.
Just suppressing the bizarre, bloodthirsty mutating genes within him so as not to imdiately devour her consud all his energy, at this point he simply didn’t have the strength to push her away.
"Go... Xingyu... quickly go..." His hand, or his claw, trembled, wanting to embrace her but fearing to scratch her, and even more afraid that after embracing, he wouldn’t be able to let go. He barely focused his mind, using all his reason to tell her, "It’s useless, this disease of mine can’t be cured... Quickly go, lock all the doors with the children and no matter what happens don’t co out... call the police, yes, call them... let the police... kill ..."
His speech beca more labored, his voice more muddled, from deep in his throat again ca that faint animal-like low growl.
Su Xingyu was shocked, completely unaware of what was happening, how could a person be fine a few hours ago and now beco like this? Tears stread down imdiately, and when she heard him say "kill," she finally realized the seriousness of the issue. She had lived for over twenty years, having gone through several viral crises like SARS since childhood. Even though unwilling to believe, the scene before her forced her to believe that a new type of virus, a severe virus, had infected Lu Shifeng, quickly threatening his life.
"Shifeng..." Four years later, she finally called him by his na, and not by his full na, Lu Shifeng.
"Shifeng... you cannot die..." She cried, but her voice was firm, tightly holding him, refusing to let go. Her small body was pricked by the thorns of his scales, blood mixing with his own washed by the downpour, she disregarded the intense pain, lifting tear-filled eyes to look at him, "I won’t leave, you must hold on! Go, see a doctor! Doctors have cured so many acute deadly diseases; as long as you hold on, you can too! Shifeng, hold on!"
But he shook his head painfully, inside, the speed of the mutating genes spreading rapidly, he even began hallucinating, the entire world viewed through human eyes on a rainy night turned into a scenario seen through ray-like vision, black was buildings, was vegetation, red was her warmth, was blood, was...
No, not food!
She is not food!
He suddenly pushed her away, this ti with more force than before, then turned to press against the warehouse door behind him, the warehouse would open by fingerprint, ordinarily he only needed to press his finger to easily open it, but this ti no matter how he pressed, even putting his entire mutated palm on it, slamming it, the cold door didn’t budge.
He was furious, slamming on the door, yet the monstrous power that smashed the bulletproof glass in the Bentley had sohow vanished without a trace, he couldn’t break it open.
Behind him, her warmth and the blood flowing from her wounds like the devil’s temptations continuously lured him...
His eyes turned redder, slowly turning around...
She half-kneeled on the ground, blankly watching him turn around, her mind surprisingly finding a bit of clarity. "Shifeng, when did you return?" Her voice softly echoed in the rainy night, "The villa’s front door didn’t hear a car coming back, you didn’t drive back, did you? Did you... walk back after falling ill?"
His eyes blood red, letting out a beastly growl, bent over to pin her down.
She let him press her down to the ground, her clear eyes looking into his blood-red ones: "Shifeng, you just told to leave, that ans you know you will hurt after falling ill, right? But still, you returned, walked a long way to co back? Your shoes are worn out..." She, a photographer with keen observation, had noticed long ago that the shoes on his feet were already in tatters. Those were handcrafted perfect shoes by the world’s top cobbler; unless he walked far and over uneven terrain, they wouldn’t be so damaged.
Lu Shifeng reached out a mutated beast claw, deeply pressing into her shoulder, imdiately causing blood to flow.
She heard the crack of her bones, enduring the pain, tears carrying a hint of bitter laughter: "You must really long for ho, right? So even knowing it’s detrintal to us, you still couldn’t help but trek back. But upon returning you dare not truly enter the ho to find us, afraid to harm us, so you lingered here?"
The claws pierced into her shoulder stopped, trembling slightly.
Yet she continued to cry, smiling: "Never thought our conclusion would end like this. Shifeng, didn’t you always want a son? Promise you’ll hold on, alright? Don’t die, live on, when your illness is cured, I’ll give you a son. Truly, I’ll keep my word."
She didn’t understand for whom he returned, for whom he held back from utterly losing control.
Was it for Jue? Or... for her?
But regardless, this was their last chance for survival.
"Don’t die... think about Jue, think about Han, think about the future, I will give you a son." She repeated again and again.
His movents stopped, still pressing her beneath him, but the beast claw kept trembling, never truly going for her core.
After a long while, the blood-red in his eyes gradually faded, his body heavily collapses to the side.
"Shifeng!" She disregarded her own injuries, quickly struggling to rise and embrace him, calling loudly.
