"Sister, kill me, I don't want to become a zombie and continue to harm people. I'd rather die."
Xiao Qiu's face was pale, and his eyes were gradually becoming cloudy.
"No, no, no, you won't turn into a zombie, you won't!"
[System, is there any way to prevent him from turning into a zombie?!]
[Ding, there is no way.]
[Aren't you systems very powerful? Why can't you even save one person?]
Xu Qian fiercely closed her eyes, then opened them again, her eyes bloodshot.
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Qiu's lips, "Mom, Dad, I'm coming to find you."
He raised the dagger in his hand and plunged it directly into his head.
Warm blood sprayed onto her face.
Xu Qian's whole body trembled, her vision went black, it felt like a knife had been plunged into her heart, rendering her breathless.
"Xu student, Xu Qian!"
Xu Qian felt herself held in a warm embrace, and she didn't want to leave for a moment.
How good it would be to just stay there forever.
"Xu student."
Ye Yunzhou's face was pale. His long, dry fingers gently pressed on his forehead, emitting a faint glow.
"Yunzhou, you need to take care of yourself!"
"Professor, it's all my fault, I caused this. She had no reason to get involved in this matter."
"But they, the group of ten, have returned. Sacrificing Xiao Qiu is a blessing in disguise."
Xu Qian's thick eyelashes fluttered. She raised her hand and grasped the palm on her forehead, her eyes as clear as if she had never fainted.
"Enough. Thank you,"
The stabbing pain in her head had eased considerably. Ye Yunzhou had likely infused her with a lot of energy.
"It's good that you're awake. You've been asleep for a day and a night."
Xu Qian closed her eyes, her face deathly pale. The words, "You can save more people in the future, you can save more people," echoed repeatedly in her mind.
Her heart felt constricted, and she couldn't exhale, feeling trapped.
No one had ever died for her before.
"Where is Xiao Qiu's body?"
"We found a good spot and buried him in the hospital. Xu Qian, don't be sad."
Seeing how distressed she was, Ye Yunzhou gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Qiu had leukemia. Without the support of instruments, he might not have lived for another month."
"But he could have lived for another month."
Xu Qian opened her blood-red eyes, and the tears she had been holding back slid down her cheeks.
For some reason, Ye Yunzhou felt a pang in his heart, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.
"You are a kind person, Xiao Qiu didn't die for nothing."
Xu Qian forced a tragic smile and said, "Do you know how many people I've killed? You know nothing."
Ye Yunzhou's clear eyes stared intently at her.
"No matter how many people you've killed, you believe they all deserved to die."
Xu Qian raised her elbow to cover her eyes.
"You should go out."
"Okay, I'll go get you something to eat."
Ye Yunzhou returned to his office and took out a box of instant porridge from the cabinet. This was the supply they had obtained yesterday.
"Dr. Ye, Sister Qian's boyfriend is awake."
Ye Yunzhou's hand trembled, and the instant porridge fell to the floor.
He lowered his eyes, concealing the dejection within, and said faintly, "Alright, I'll be there immediately."
Before Ye Yunzhou could enter the room, the sound of things being smashed echoed from inside.
"Go away! Don't touch me."
Mei Yuebai's eyes were dark, the corners of his eyes slightly red. He reached up and pressed his throbbing temples.
His head was spinning. He remembered getting drunk that day, and when he woke up, Xu Qian and that man were gone. Fortunately, he had installed a GPS on Xu Qian, which led him to F City.
He followed the navigation, but because he was driving too fast, he crashed into a tree in F City and fell unconscious.
When he woke up, he saw a place that resembled a hospital. In this damned apocalypse, where could there be such a thing as a hospital?
The female nurse nearby was trembling with fear and urged, "Sir, this is a hospital, please cooperate with the examination. Also, the hospital's supplies are very precious, please do not damage anything."
Ye Yunzhou frowned. She liked this kind of man?
He pushed the door open and was met by a pillow thrown at him.
Ye Yunzhou dodged to the side and, seeing that the man was about to throw a stool, asked sternly, "Sir, may I ask if you are Xu Qian's boyfriend?"
