"Yu Sheng is a good... person."
He was a good person both before and after his mutation. Willing to go to great lengths to protect others, even strangers.
"Yeah." Lei Shao responded without changing his expression.
Lei Shao's hand stopped and his eyes moved elsewhere. The atmosphere that had come to an abrupt end suddenly became colder.
Qin Jue asked in a low voice, "Yueen..."
Lei Shao finally looked at her again, "She is well taken care of by Yu Long, but she still doesn't speak much."
Considering that Yue En had mutated, Lei Shao's move was already an exception, and he really had no right to ask for anything more. And she was already very grateful for what Lei Shao had done for her.
Lei Shao noticed her silence, pulled her into his arms, and slowly rubbed her neck, "You haven't said why you want to take care of her yet?"
Qin Jue told how he met Wang Li and how Wang Li hurt Yue En's mother. At the end, he pursed his lips and said cautiously, "Human nature cannot stand the test. Some people are worse than dead alive, and some people are still full of blood even after they are dead."
A hero who is so skillful at dealing with zombies probably cannot bear to hear that the "enemy" he has always considered may still be human, not to mention that the life and death of his parents may be related to these.
It is human nature to find it hard to accept for a while.
Little did she know that Lei Shao was planning something else.
"Do you like him?" Qin Jue was a little startled by the sudden question.
"No...no." He blurted out subconsciously. Qin Jue answered quickly, and his eyes only avoided him for a moment. In fact, she didn't like her, she knew it, but she wasn't sure why she lost all sense in that situation, as if she was another herself.
She also wants to know the answers, but some answers can only be found by herself.
Lei Shao's voice was gentle, even sounding kind and almost understanding, "Are you worried about him?"
"I'm worried that his... injuries are so serious." Qin Jue followed his words and expressed his worries all along. He left so hastily at that time, "I don't know how they... will recover from their injuries."
"Their repair ability is very strong, and some can even increase their super powers by eating the same kind of food." The emotionless tone seemed to comfort her, but the facts he said were so cruel that Qin Jue couldn't bear to think about it.
Lei Shao held her face and kissed her deeply until Qin Jue's mind was like a ball of mush and she could no longer think of the topic they had just discussed.
The days seemed to go by sweetly and repetitively.
Lei Shao often goes out and sometimes stays out all night. Usually Qin Jue would be at home at this time, waiting quietly for his return. She knew that it would be no small matter to allow Lei Shao to go out in person, or even stay out all night.
Even Lei Shao's team meetings didn't shy away from her. It seemed that the team members had expected her to live here like this, and everyone except Lin Yan was happy to see it happen. She was the only one who felt embarrassed occasionally.
She picked up the spoon like a newlywed wife, sometimes making soup and sometimes making a few side dishes. When Lei Shao was away, he asked Yu Long and Yue En to come and eat together. If Yu Long also goes out on a mission, it will be her happiest time, and she can hang around Yue En all day long.
Xiao Yuen still doesn't speak much. In order to maintain her nutrition, Dr. Luo will send some nutritional injections every day. The so-called "nutrients" are also artificial serum preparations of some mutated zombies. They are also collected from various experimental receptors. Some are even directly extracted from the trophies brought back by the team.
Qin Jue was a little selfish. She wanted to try to see if there was a one in ten thousand chance of what she thought. Fortunately, this is Lei Shao's place. As long as she asks for it, supplies and all kinds of food are always the first to be satisfied.
The first thing I tried was a small piece of beef liver, raw of course. Yue En ate without hesitation, so he gave her a small piece of fried beef liver for the second piece. Yue En stared at the cooked beef liver in a daze. She leaned closer to smell it, then picked it up and swallowed it.
This surprise greatly encouraged Qin Jue. She started trying other meats, cooked ones. Yue Endu tastes the same as himself, no different.
In other words, mutant zombies can eat the same food as humans. The only difference may be that the demand for meat is stronger. Little Yue En rarely eats fruits and vegetables.
This discovery completely shocked Qin Jue. She felt that it should be a piece of information that completely changed the pattern of the apocalypse. If there were no conflicts in the food chain, then there would be no absolute contradiction between mutant zombies and humans. So……
As soon as Lei Shao entered the door that day, Qin Jue jumped up to meet her. In order to prevent her from sliding down, Lei Shao had to reach out to hold her legs. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, "Why are you so enthusiastic today?"
"Yueen can eat human food. I tried it today." Qin Jue happily chirped in his ear.
"That is to say, mutated zombies can eat the same food as humans. The dietary structure may focus more on protein intake." Qin Jue jumped off Lei Shao, danced around in a circle, and then turned around to hug him. neck, pulling his face closer.
Seeing her close face, she looked happy, but the news she was talking about was about the diet structure of mutant zombies. Lei Shao's smile faded and he did not answer.
Qin Jue continued to think to himself, "So the conflict between mutant zombies and humans is not fundamental, that is to say..."
"But in essence, they are no longer living people, they have all died once." Lei Shao interrupted her, "No matter what their abilities are, they are generally of the same type as mutated zombies, and they are all derived from insect mutations. It’s just that the vector of mutation is different, and the results and branches are different. We don’t know where the end point of this mutation is yet, but humans, we, must have a chance to survive.”
There was lightning in Lei Shao's eyes. In the past, he would only have such an expression when he was concentrating, and Qin Jue would also indulge in it from time to time. Who doesn't like a man's seriousness? Especially when he was looking at himself so intently.
But this time, she only felt a chill from head to toe.
I have to admit that Lei Shao is right. How could I have any evidence or strength to argue with him that there might be other possibilities for human survival. His abilities and responsibilities match each other, and in his eyes, he may already be an exception.
So, probably, it's best not to add to the mess.
I can’t remember exactly how this conversation ended.
They all ended the same way as other conversations, probably with the two of them gasping and struggling. Sometimes her refusal to give in would arouse his fighting spirit and physical intolerance. In the end, Qin Jue would stagger and admit defeat and lose.
