Throwing a steel coil at supersonic speed with one hand, you let me travel through the heavens!

Yang Xi scrambled to her feet, stood in the beam of the car headlights, hugged her arms, trembling, head bowed, and mustered her courage to whisper, "Please... save me... take me with you..."

Wei Qingzhou quickly parked the car and got out.

He walked to the front of the car, and two beams of white light shone from behind, elongating his shadow. Dust swirled around him, making him appear as if he were blending into the light and dust.

Yang Xi squinted and looked over.

The first thing you can tell is that the other person is dressed neatly, has a tall and slender body, and is full of energy and spirit, which makes it hard to believe that they live in a terrible, corrupted apocalypse.

The same is true.

Although Wei Qingzhou has faced life and death several times, his "quality of life" is not bad.

Especially after unlocking the system space.

He has a logistics company behind him, with a huge warehouse and transit station, so he doesn't lack supplies at all.

If your clothes are dirty, don't wash them; just throw them away and wear new ones.

Sealed bottled water can be used for bathing.

They ate chocolate, nuts, dried fruits and vegetables, and so on.

Even when sleeping, I now lie on a Simmons mattress.

He discovered that high-quality sleep actually helps restore SAN levels.

Even for the same person, the speed at which sanity recovers is different depending on whether they sleep on cardboard or on a Simmons mattress.

"Wei Qingzhou!"

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, Yang Xi exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

"It's me," Wei Qingzhou said.

next moment……

Yang Xi turned and ran!

She stumbled and fell after running two steps, her knee hitting the asphalt, but she ignored the pain, got up and ran again.

Wei Qingzhou quickly followed, catching up with her in a few steps and grabbing her wrist.

"Ah! Let me go!"

Yang Xi abruptly shook off the boy's hand, and like a lamb, quickly crawled into an abandoned car parked by the roadside. She curled up in the seat, hugged her legs, buried her face in her knees, and kept her head down.

"Yang Xi, why are you running?"

Wei Qingzhou stood outside the car and did not go inside.

"I'm not Yang Xi, you...you've mistaken me for someone else! I don't know you...I don't know you..." The girl shook her head desperately in denial.

"Mistook me for someone else?"

"I am Wei Qingzhou, and you are Yang Xi. We are students from Ancheng No.1 High School. How could I possibly mistake you for someone else?"

"I am not Yang Xi..."

"You are Yang Xi."

"I'm not!"

"..."

Wei Qingzhou fell silent.

To be honest, he didn't feel the same emotion as when he met an old classmate in the apocalypse, nor did he know how to comfort a girl on the verge of a mental breakdown. Right now, he only had one thought in his mind—

Get the information!

How to communicate effectively?

"Calm down, calm down... First of all, you need to calm down."

Anxious and worried, Wei Qingzhou took a deep breath, first calming himself down, and his mind started working at lightning speed.

"Since she flagged down my car and asked for help, it shows she has a strong will to survive, so..."

Wei Qingzhou calmly said, "Who we are doesn't matter. What matters is that I can save you."

"I will save you from this sea of ​​suffering!"

His voice was calm and composed, and coupled with his excellent condition, it was indeed convincing.

"real?"

Yang Xi lifted her head from between her knees and raised her small face.

Wei Qingzhou nodded, reached out and brushed aside the messy bangs that were covering her face, his pupils contracting slightly.

Three vertical cracks appeared on the girl's once beautiful and innocent face.

A crack was located on his forehead, inside which was a round fish eye that swirled and turned clearly, its black and white parts distinct.

What a huge, lifeless fish eye!

When Wei Qingzhou stared at Dead Fish Eyes, his pupils would suddenly shrink as if startled, and then his eyes would roll upwards, leaving him with a large white eye.

The other two cracks are located below the girl's almond-shaped eyes and exist side by side.

A crack resembles a fish gill, with the gill cover opening and closing to reveal the red gill filaments inside, as if it were breathing.

There was also a crack from which tiny octopus tentacles emerged, flailing about wildly.

Yang Xi suddenly remembered her "inhuman" appearance, her delicate body trembled violently, she cried out "Ah!" and quickly covered her face, pleading in a tearful voice, "Don't look! Don't look at me!"

Wei Qingzhou's expression turned grim, and four words flashed through his mind—

Alienation and distortion!

In this situation, the SAN value has probably fallen below 30%.

The problem is that when the sanity level drops below 30%, a person's mental state will be extremely poor. In addition to being plagued by various visual and auditory hallucinations, the person will become lethargic or go berserk.

But why is she still conscious?

Can you still recognize him?

Can he still speak logically and clearly?

Extremely strong resistance to pollution, and the same high [spirit] attribute as him?

Or is this just a final burst of energy before a complete transformation?

"Waaaaah, I look so ugly now..."

Yang Xi burst into tears.

Black tears rolled down the three eyes at the same time, the cheek flaps opened and closed like flapping nostrils, and a few small tentacles curled up into a ball, as if they were also saddened.

"Don't cry."

"I have a way to save you."

Wei Qingzhou first calmed her down, then went straight to the point: "First, you have to tell me what happened, and why the world has become like this?"

Yang Xi stared at him in astonishment, blinking all three eyes at once: "You didn't know?"

Wei Qingzhou simply nodded, offering no further explanation.

Of course he didn't know, because he had traveled from a place more than a month ago.

The Wei Qingzhou standing in front of the girl at this moment is the Wei Qingzhou of the "past"!

Yang Xi recalled in a weak voice: "July 20th...that night, the whole world was celebrating Brazil winning the World Cup!"

"My parents were watching the game too. The broadcast was on TV, and Brazil lifted the World Cup trophy. The whole of Rio de Janeiro was going off with fireworks. And then... something strange happened."

Wei Qingzhou immediately pressed, "What kind of anomaly?"

Yang Xi continued to speak, but she didn't realize that her language had become disordered, her logical thinking had become chaotic, her fish-like eyes on her forehead were darting around restlessly, and even her own eyeballs were starting to have problems, one looking to the left and the other to the right, looking extremely strange.

"Mom and Dad... Wei Qingzhou... that stinky iceberg... so hungry... and then... blood... the little bear is so cute... ah—"

She suddenly screamed, curled up into a ball, and clutched her head tightly with both hands until her nails dug into her scalp, her whole body trembling violently.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! It's so dark, so scary!"

"Yang Xi, wake up! What strange thing has happened?"

Wei Qingzhou pressed down on her shoulders, trying to calm her down, but her body was as stiff as a stone, all three eyes were tightly closed, her lips were pale, and her teeth were clenched so tightly they made a grinding sound.

He kept calling Yang Xi's name.

The girl showed no reaction whatsoever, as if she had become a vegetable.

"Oh no, her condition is extremely poor. Could it be that her 'last gasp' is over?"

"Yes, there's still a way... taking medicine!"

Wei Qingzhou had a sudden inspiration and quickly retrieved a bottle of medication for treating mental illness from his system space. He poured out a handful of the medication, not caring about the dosage, pried open Yang Xi's mouth, and stuffed the medicine in.

All that's left is to wait for the medicine to take effect.

There was nothing the boy could do but calm down and hope for a miracle to happen.

after awhile.

Yang Xi, who looked like a wood carving or clay sculpture, suddenly opened his three eyes.
