Duan Zhan hugged Song Jiao and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I made such a decision without your consent, but I don't regret it. I will never stop doing this because of your opposition."
Song Jiao: "If it fails..."
Duan Zhan said dullly: "If there is no way to control the concentration of the zombie virus in the end, then I will die with you. In short, I will absolutely, absolutely never let you leave me again."
His tone was normal, but Song Jiao could feel the madness hidden in it.
"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry. I'm just so selfish. I know that if I don't do this, you can live for three to five hundred years, but then I will lose you forever.
There is no way I can accept this outcome.
We must be together for a long time, so I made this decision privately.
If the zombie virus gets out of control in the end, the system determines that your mission has failed, and you lose the chance of survival...
I……
I won't regret this decision.
Because I must, must not be left behind again. "
There was helplessness and deep self-loathing in his tone, but there was no regret or hesitation.
Song Jiao vaguely thought that at this moment he was like that homeless dog wandering on the street again.
She had long expected what Duan Zhan would do, but she was still a little confused when she actually heard it.
Duan Zhan has really changed...
He would never have made up his mind so quickly before.
Song Jiao raised his arms and hugged Duan Zhan, saying, "It's a good change."
"Um?"
Duan Zhan raised his head and looked at Song Jiao uncertainly, unable to understand what she meant.
Song Jiao said again: "You are changing for the better."
"Duan Zhan, you must understand that I will never abandon you, and I cannot leave you.
Between us, I am the one who cannot live without you.
I won’t get along with others, I won’t survive in the wilderness in the apocalypse, and you have given me a bad temper.
Objectively speaking, I am dependent on you. "
Duan Zhan showed his disapproval and pursed his lips nervously, a little scared.
Will Jiao Jiao feel inferior?
of course not!
"Duan Zhan, actually before, I always thought that I was the one who relied more on each other between us.
But now...I'm not sure anymore.
I can't adapt to my current life without you, but I can learn and live independently.
Obviously you can live independently, but you can be highly dependent on me mentally.
You weren't like this twenty years ago.
I'm a little confused.
Are you real now or are you pretending to make me feel soft? "
Real doubts appeared on Song Jiao's face.
Duan Zhan's heart sank, and he really started to panic.
His palms began to sweat, and his back was stained with water.
He has separated from the human body, so naturally he will not have such physiological phenomena again.
But when he is highly nervous, his body will still simulate the behavior of native humans.
The behavioral habits of the physical body cannot be changed in just a few days.
The house fell into silence, with the occasional sound of patrol chanting outside coming into the house.
Ye Feng seemed to know the scene here and deliberately bypassed it.
The temperature inside the house is higher.
There were occasional subtle flashes of lightning in the air, which quickly disappeared under the light.
Song Jiao lay down half-way back, leaning against the bedside, looking at Duan Zhan leisurely.
Duan Zhan breathed carefully. Under her gaze, he became more and more uneasy, as if he wanted to rush out of the door.
Finally, Duan Zhan moved a little as if he couldn't bear it anymore.
Song Jiao sighed.
Duan Zhan froze, like a cat being pinched by the back of the neck.
Song Jiao was helpless: "You dare to plot my life, what are you afraid of now?"
Duan Zhan lowered his head even lower, as if he had lost the ability to speak, and did not say a word.
Song Jiao: "Look, you are panicking now, so what were you thinking just now?
Your emotions just now are true.
So I can't tell which one is the real you. "
Duan Zhan said: "It's all true. It's true that I'm afraid you'll be angry, and it's true that I will never give up on my current plan."
Song Jiao raised her head slightly, Duan Zhan couldn't see her expression clearly, he just felt that she was sad.
"Duan Zhan, if...
I mean what if, what if one day I no longer want to live forever.
Why do you think that what you think is good must also be considered good by me?
I should not and am not qualified to refuse what you put in front of me with all your efforts.
After all, these things are taken over by outsiders.
But what if I don’t need it much? "
Duan Zhan was a little confused and said: "Then don't want it. Everything in this world should be placed in front of Jiao Jiao for you to choose. Anything you don't like is worthless."
Song Jiao sighed: "Look, I said I was spoiled by you, but I actually think what you said is right.
And I really feel that the day you stop doing this, then you don’t love me enough. "
Song Jiao's anger was vented, and she said dejectedly: "Duan Zhan, this is wrong."
"If one day I don't want to go on anymore, then do you want to sleep with me?
The path of evolution is a lonely one, it always has been.
I cannot bear the weight of two lives. "
“Just like what happened this time.
Without your intervention, I would just purify the related zombie viruses, even if it costs my life in the end...
Well, I was actually prepared for this worst-case scenario. "
Seeing Duan Zhan's disapproval, Song Jiao stopped him with his eyes and continued.
“But you stepped in.
You forcefully told me that I want to live forever and follow your plan.
I know where you are coming from and I know that you have been thinking about me.
If you told me, I would definitely agree.
But I am an independent person, and I hope I can make my own decisions regarding matters involving my life.
What I'm most worried about is that you will get used to making decisions for me in the future. "
Song Jiao pondered for a while and then said: "Duan Zhan, not everyone prays for immortality, and not everyone likes good things in a universal sense."
Duan Zhan's pupils tightened, panic covering him like a tide.
He never knew that Jiao Jiao had such thoughts in his heart...
Song Jiao lowered her eyes. Twenty years ago, she was willing to sacrifice her life to purify the zombie virus in order to save all mankind. It was really a very small part of her.
Ninety-nine percent of the time, it was because there were too many zombies at the time. If Duan Zhan was not purified, he might really be infected by the zombie virus. She couldn't afford the consequences.
She and Duan Zhan were orphans and both lost their parents when they were young. The two families knew each other because they were neighbors in the past.
After growing up together, the friendship between them is that of friends? Relatives? spouse? This is too complicated.
It has long been difficult to distinguish.
Song Jiao couldn't accept Duan Zhan's death, but before... at least twenty years ago, Duan Zhan was still very stable and strong, the kind of person with a strong mind who could live well alone.
But part of the reason is that Song Jiao is not obsessed with immortality.
If she really cared about her life, she wouldn't make such a decisive decision.
Use your own life in exchange for Duan Zhan's absolute safety.
only……
Song Jiao didn't want to talk about this.
She knew that Duan Zhan must have guessed the possible reason.
Perhaps this was the reason why he couldn't get out in the next twenty years.
Song Jiao didn't need to confirm his guess.
