Chapter 452: Sunflower Facing the Apocalypse 15
Xiao Lu stood beside the keyboard, watching Xu Yuxi type and share everything. He couldn’t help but say, "Master, you’re writing in such detail, it will help many people, but what if bad people see it, what then?"
Xu Yuxi patted Xiao Lu, and said slowly, "Indeed, there are quite a few bad people in this world. But there are more good people, I am convinced of that. If we don’t share this because we’re afraid the bad people will see it, and let more good people miss the chance to grow stronger and protect the people they care about, that would be too painful."
Xiao Lu looked at Xu Yuxi and suddenly smiled, "Master, after all these years, you still haven’t changed. Even if you sometimes say you’re so disappointed and sad, there’s always a place of light in your heart. Perhaps Tianmiao is right, at a critical moment, human beings indeed show their truest nature. There’s ugliness, there’s beauty. But when all humanity faces life and death, all grudges are cast aside, and we collectively strive for human survival."
"Yes, Xiao Lu. This Tianmiao is indeed wise and truly remarkable. Humans are such creatures. In the end, we will all fight together for our survival, but this requires a process. I don’t know if this process will be lengthy, but I know for certain it will be full of twists and turns. I’m very happy to have you with me, and Shiqiu too." Xu Yuxi looked towards Zhou Shiqiu, who had come back after getting caught in the rain, and stood up to greet her.
Xiao Lu watched the two girls laughing and joking, and couldn’t help but joyfully hop over to them.
Thank you, Tianmiao, thank you for helping me find my master and continuing to help us like this.
...
Early the next morning, Xu Yuxi and Zhou Shiqiu woke up early, turned on the TV, and also checked Weibo on their phones.
In the morning, the heavy rain had stopped. However, the aftermath was significant. The news reported the air quality was poor and urged citizens to limit going out.
Xu Yuxi opened the window slightly, wrinkled her nose at the smell outside, and quickly closed it.
"The smell is strange, not exactly stinky, but just an odd odor." Xu Yuxi waved her hand in front of her nose, expressing her distaste.
"Either way, we can’t go out." Zhou Shiqiu stood at the kitchen door in her pajamas, "What should we eat? I’ll make something."
"Just cook a bowl of noodles." Xu Yuxi looked at a few missed calls and texts on her phone, checked the names, and ignored them.
The two spent the morning curled up on the sofa, watching TV and checking their phones, closely monitoring developments outside.
"It has arrived." Xu Yuxi’s expression turned serious as she invited Zhou Shiqiu to look, "Look, at this video."
"This, is this? Zombies?" Zhou Shiqiu felt a chill down her spine after watching the video. In the footage, a person walked into the middle of the road in a bizarre manner, forcing a car to stop. The driver stuck his head out the window and cursed, but the person let out a roar and lunged forward, biting wildly. They started biting the car door, terrifying the driver, who then floored the gas pedal and drove away.
"If bitten, you’ll be infected with the virus, right?" Zhou Shiqiu asked Xiao Lu.
"Yes." Xiao Lu nodded.
"More videos are being uploaded." Xu Yuxi’s face grew increasingly tense, "These people aren’t as lucky as the driver earlier. They’ve been bitten..."
Watching the infected move around in strange postures, biting anyone they saw, and the bitten being torn to pieces, screaming in terror. The scenes were horrifyingly vivid.
Although the two had long known the apocalypse was coming, seeing these scenes with their own eyes weighed heavily on their hearts.
