Thanks to the zombie baby's troubles, Li Si did not kill him directly in the end, but locked him in an icehouse where his parents' bodies were frozen.
Mu Tang looked at the heavy icehouse door and breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't know what was inside. Before Qi Su went in, he would frantically beg Li Si to kill him instead of imprisoning him.
But at least now he can heal on his own.
As for Li Si, his medicine had just expired, and his body began to collapse again, and the weakened powers could not be restored immediately. This put him on alert, and he was already locked up without knowing where he was.
This is why he was so angry when Qi Su broke the medicine.
Mu Tang sighed. Qi Su had been locked in the icehouse for several hours. He was of the ice type and would not freeze to death. However, she was a little worried and still wanted to take a look.
As soon as he walked to the icehouse, he noticed a small voice squatting in the corner of the icehouse door. As soon as he noticed Mu Tang's approach, he immediately attacked Mu Tang several times like a cat with hairy hair, and issued a threatening tone towards Mu Tang. roar.
Mu Tang was stunned, it was a zombie baby.
It seems that it has not forgotten that it was almost killed by Mu Tang at the Tongcheng base. Now it is very hostile to Mu Tang, but it doesn't know why it didn't pounce directly.
Mu Tang squinted her eyes and suddenly had a guess in her mind, but this guess made her a little unbelievable:
"Are you...worried about him?"
This little monster showed an animalistic side from the beginning. Even if it was defending Qi Su, Mu Tang regarded it as the beast's possessiveness of the toy.
Because although it protects Qi Su, it will still tear at Qi Su unscrupulously, leaving him covered with bruises. This is not the way to cherish something.
But now, it actually sat in front of the icehouse door, and its behavior completely reversed Mu Tang's previous impression of it.
Could it be that this child still has humanity in his heart and has not completely become a killing tool for beasts and Li Si as it appeared before?
Mu Tang looked away, ignored its warning, and walked to the icehouse's combination lock.
This door was locked, and she didn't know the password. Mu Tang thought for a while, then lowered her head to look at the wary little monster at her feet:
"Do you know the password?"
The little monster was stunned by her question. He raised his face blankly and said "Ah" with a grin on his face.
"..." Okay, Mu Tang admitted that he hadn't left the laboratory for a long time, and his mind had become rigid. If this little thing knew the password, how could he still be squatting outside.
Mu Tang looked thoughtfully at the code lock in front of him. He couldn't enter it casually. These things in Li Si were weird. If he entered it wrong and directly killed the things in the ice house, Qi Su would be in trouble.
While she was thinking, there was a sudden knocking from behind the door.
Mu Tang raised her head and realized that this was Qi Su giving her a message. She couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. With such a thick door, she didn't know how much force Qi Su had to use to hear the sound outside.
Following Qi Su's tapping sound on his hand, he pressed the password one by one. After pressing "confirm", the icehouse door popped open.
The cold air turned into white mist and leaked out from the crack in the door.
Mu Tang opened the door and walked in. The zombie baby rarely calmed down. He used his limbs together and followed her in obediently.
What was unexpected in the icehouse was not darkness, but bright lights.
Mu Tang could easily see the two corpses. Qi Suxu leaned against the door, his voice trembling as he spoke:
"You came?"
Mu Tang glanced at the several holes in the door that he had knocked out, and then returned his eyes to him:
"are you alright?"
Qi Su shook his head:
"I am not so good."
Mu Tang sighed and squatted in front of Qi Su:
"There are many ways to test, and you just chose the stupidest one."
Qi Su's chest twitched a few times, and he leaned against the corner with his head hanging down:
"I can't wait any longer, I'm going crazy, I want to go crazy when I see him."
Mu Tang frowned, did not continue to struggle with this issue, and asked him instead:
"How about it?"
Asked about this, Qi Su suddenly raised his head, his eyes so bright it was scary:
"It's weakened, and it's weakened a lot. Although it's not obvious on the surface, I can still clearly feel it when he tortures me with his mental power!!"
Mu Tang breathed a sigh of relief. The most feared thing about Li Si was his superpower. Physical superpowers were not scary. What was scary was the ability to control people's hearts.
At this moment, Qi Su suddenly shouted:
"what are you doing?"
Then he rushed out violently!
Mu Tang looked over and found that the zombie baby who had followed in had approached the two unrecognizable corpses at some point and stretched out his hand to touch them.
But before he could touch him, he was slapped away by Qi Su who rushed over! !
Qi Su stood in front of his parents' bodies, glaring fiercely at the zombie baby who was photographed in the corner, and turned to ask Mu Tang:
"Why did you bring it here?"
Mu Tang raised her eyebrows:
"I came to see you and found it squatting outside the icehouse door. I don't know how long it has been squatting. It looked very worried, so I brought it in together."
Qi Su's pupils dilated, then he shook his head in denial:
"How is it possible? It is the killing tool created by Li Si. How can there be such soft emotions except killing."
Then he suddenly thought of Li Sisi killing him just now and the zombie baby desperately trying to stop him.
The originally determined expression gradually became less firm, and gradually collapsed under Mu Tang's thoughtful eyes, and he turned his head awkwardly.
The baby who was originally patted in the corner did not become furious and attack Qi Su like before. Instead, it crawled back silently, climbed up Qi Su's shoulders along his entire body, hugged his face, and held him lovingly. He put his face against Qi Su's and closed his eyes.
Qi Su still felt awkward, but suddenly he couldn't just reach out and pull it off like before.
"It seems that when its mother returned to it, it became even more attached to you." Mu Tang said:
Qiao Yue didn't have the compassion for this child that a mother should have, but more of a calculation and use.
Especially the last time she shouted out "Such a monster can't be my child", it was quite irritating to a child who wanted to be attached to his mother.
As for Qi Su, although he didn't like this little monster either, he didn't have any so-called use of this child, and he just let it go.
And he himself may not have noticed that he has a different kind of tolerance for this child. Otherwise, with his normal temper, it would be impossible for him to let this child run wild on him, and it would be impossible for him to allow this child to interact with him like he is now. Stick together tightly.
"It has not shown any special abilities so far. It is just a little faster and has a high physical strength, but these things are not enough to make Li Si value it so much. He even risked exposing himself to bombings in order to protect it. , so it’s definitely not as simple as it appears.”
Qi Su was a little disapproving:
"It's just because of the beating heart in its chest that made Li Si think that viruses can coexist with the human body. It's not that complicated."
As he said that, he dragged the little monster on his shoulders and sat down against the bodies of his parents. This time was enough for him to calm down. He didn't want to go crazy in front of Mu Tang.
He patted the side:
"Sit down and talk with me."
Mu Tang twitched the corner of his mouth:
"You can't feel the cold, I can."
As he said this, Mu Tang still sat on the floor beside him.
Qi Su grinned, then thought of something, and the smile at the corner of his mouth faded again:
"Don't you have anything to ask?"
Mu Tang shook his head with a cold expression:
"Everyone should have their own secrets, I won't talk too much about them."
Qi Su laughed again and leaned the back of his head against the cold wall:
"I really hate how cold you are now."
Mu Tang also curled up his lips:
"I can't help it, I'm just like this and can't change it."
Qi Su turned his head, as if he had discovered a new world, and said happily:
"Look, you're smiling happily now. What can't be changed?"
Mu Tang's eyes were stunned, and then she couldn't help but raise her hand to touch the corners of her mouth. It seemed like this. Ever since she woke up, smiling was not that difficult for her, and she would naturally curl up the corners of her mouth many times.
Qi Su did not continue on this issue, but said quietly:
"These are my parents."
Mu Tang nodded silently. She had guessed it. It was not difficult to guess from the age reflected by the two corpses and the caring look on Qi Su's face just now.
Qi Su didn't wonder why she wasn't surprised, but Taotao didn't feel surprised and said:
"My parents are the best pastry chefs, and their food is widely praised. My father is very good at making chocolate."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. He reached out and dug into his pocket. He took out two deformed chocolates and stuffed them into Mu Tang's hand:
"I forgot to give it to you. Your favorite food, but it's deformed and stained with my blood. It tastes like chestnut. If you don't mind, try it."
Mu Tang rubbed the chocolate in his hand and tore off the outer wrapping paper to reveal the twisted candy body, but made no next move.
Qi Su saw her not moving for a long time and couldn't help but say:
"Hey, you really dislike it, you..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Tang had already stuffed the chocolate with the wrapper off into his mouth, then peeled off another one and stuffed it into his own mouth.
Qi Su was stunned for a moment with the chocolate in his mouth, then he realized and started to complain:
"I can't taste it, so it's all in vain. You're really wasting your life..."
He suddenly froze. The unique rich aroma of chocolate bursting out in his mouth, wrapped in a sweetness that he had not tasted for a century, gradually spread until it filled his entire mouth.
Mu Tang held the chocolate in her mouth while dragging him, forcing him to look into her eyes in order to strengthen his mental control.
The back of his father seemed to appear in front of Qi Su's eyes. He was still in the back kitchen of the shop, skillfully stirring the melted chocolate on the hot plate, adding chopped nuts and icing sugar.
That figure is so far away that I can't reach it with my hand.
Qi Su just held the chocolate in his mouth blankly. He didn't know how long it took, until the chocolate in Mu Tang's mouth melted and the sweetness disappeared, and he woke up as if from a dream.
The chocolate in his mouth also melted, and the dream-like taste just now disappeared without a trace, as if it was really a dream.
Mu Tang let go of him and sat back.
Qi Su raised his hand and touched the corners of his eyes. There were no tears there because he couldn't cry, but he still felt that he had shed tears.
"How is it possible that my sense of taste has recovered?" he asked blankly.
"No, that's just a message I conveyed to your brain through my own feelings, an illusion." Mu Tang explained that she had never tried to use mental power in this way, and she hesitated when using it.
Unexpectedly, it was successful.
Qi Su was still recalling the sweetness just now. After a while, he turned his head and said sincerely:
"Thanks."
Mu Tang shook his head:
"You're welcome."
The two fell into silence. After a while, Qi Su continued:
"But I still want something from you?"
"What?"
"Your blood."
