Ye Xingluo could clearly sense that the man was already dead the moment Lu Keyi pointed at his chest.
"younger brother!"
Lu Ke didn't care about the man who had collapsed at that moment. She rushed to Lu Xiaotian's side and held her unconscious younger brother in her arms.
The man struck hard, showing no mercy just because he was a child. Crimson blood flowed continuously down the back of Lu Xiaotian's head, making him look quite pitiful.
Looking at her little hands stained red with her brother's blood, Lu Ke's body trembled uncontrollably, and a deep sense of panic welled up in her heart.
Dad's dead, Mom's dead, and if my little brother leaves me too...
She was left all alone in the world.
What's the point of her still living in this world?
Is there anyone...is there anyone who can save her brother...?
Suddenly, Lu Ke heard the sound of crisp footsteps.
She subconsciously raised her white eyes, which were already brimming with tears, and saw a beautiful young man who seemed to have floated down from the sky, descending to her side when she was in her most desperate moment.
"Leave it to me."
Ye Xinglu said softly, taking out the medical kit she always carried.
Lu Ke hesitated for a moment before handing her younger brother over to the stranger in front of her... Now, it seemed she had no other choice but to trust Ye Xingluo.
Lu Xiaotian's injury wasn't as serious as it looked. He had a cut on his head, but it wasn't deep. He just needed some disinfection, two stitches, and a bandage.
Of course, in this apocalyptic world, without these emergency treatments, if the wound becomes infected, the chances of survival are slim.
"Alright, the wounds will heal in a while." Ye Xingluo casually tied a bow on Lu Xiaotian's head, then said softly to the girl in front of her, "You must have been hungry for a long time, here you go."
Then, Ye Xinglu handed all the food stuffed in her backpack to the girl who was staring at her blankly.
Lu Ke looked at everything in front of her in disbelief... Just a second ago she was in a hell of despair, but in the blink of an eye she was back in the human world.
From Ye Xingluo, she felt a long-lost warmth emanating from her own kind.
Tears streamed down Lu Ke's face.
"Why...why didn't you come sooner?" Lu Ke raised her tear-streaked face, her white eyes filled with sorrow. "Then...Mom and Dad..."
Lu Ke knew she shouldn't speak to the person who had just saved her brother like that... but she simply couldn't suppress the emotions surging within her.
She was just a child who hadn't even reached adulthood, and suddenly too much pressure was placed on her fragile shoulders. Unable to show her weakness in front of her younger brother, she could only keep all her grievances bottled up inside.
So when Ye Xingluo suddenly appeared in front of him and gave him food... that suppressed feeling burst forth like an explosion.
"I'm sorry...we're late."
Ye Xinglu said softly, then gently took Lu Ke's small hand and removed the mousetrap.
The child's fingers, which had already turned bluish-purple, seemed to have completely lost sensation.
At this point, let her vent her frustrations.
...
"I'm so sorry for saying so many hurtful things."
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ke knelt down in front of Ye Xingluo, looking somewhat guilty with her head bowed.
Remembering the words she had just babbled out, she became even more hesitant to look up at the handsome older brother in front of her.
"I don't mind at all~"
Ye Xinglu said softly, also looking at Lu Ke with curiosity.
In his previous life, he met Lu Ke a few months later. At that time, Lu Ke had matured a lot and looked like an ice block. She was cold to everyone, especially when she encountered a man who tried to take advantage of her. She would seal all the acupoints around his heart and cause his heart to explode due to excessive pressure.
However, Lu Ke still looks a bit immature, and the sorrow between her brows cannot hide her girlish charm.
So after their encounter was brought forward, Ye Xinglu realized why Lu Ke in the future would become so cold and aloof, and why she would be so fond of those lecherous men.
If it weren't for Ye Xingluo's appearance, her only remaining family in this world might have left her too.
"Um... is there anything I can do for you?"
Lu Ke looked at the food that Ye Xingluo was pushing towards her. Although her stomach was rumbling, she didn't rush to eat it. Instead, she looked into Ye Xingluo's eyes and asked softly.
In her opinion... apart from her parents and younger brother, there are no strangers in the world who are kind to you for no reason. Ye Xingluo's gentle attitude towards her made her feel uneasy.
Just as Ye Xingluo was about to say something, Lu Ke clenched the hem of her clothes and whispered something.
"If...you want to do the same thing as him, that's fine...as long as you can protect me and my brother, I'll do anything you ask." A complicated expression suddenly appeared on Lu Ke's face. Her gaze swept over the lifeless man beside her, and she said softly, "Actually...if he weren't so ugly, if he didn't scare me so much, if he were as handsome and gentle as an older brother...maybe I wouldn't have resisted..."
Ye Xinglu gazed at the girl before him. Lu Ke, who should have been innocently enjoying school life, uttered words that were inappropriate for her age, making one sigh at the great changes that the apocalypse had brought to the people of this world.
In order to survive, people will instinctively adapt to the shape that suits this world.
"oops!"
Lu Ke covered her head and looked at Ye Xingluo, who had flicked her forehead, with a puzzled expression.
"So what's going on in your head?" Ye Xinglu said irritably, feeling uneasy under Saber's gaze. "We'll talk about that later, right now... let's eat!"
Pshaw... He may need a lot of girls to have fun with, but he's not the kind of guy who forces others to do that!
Ye Xinglu's righteous gaze softened instantly when it met Saber's.
Okay, except for Saber.
...
Chapter 117 How to increase your proficiency in using the Byakugan~
When Ye Xinglu suggested to Lu Ke that they leave, the girl simply nodded.
Feeling lost about the future, following the handsome older brother in front of her was clearly a better choice.
Besides... there's nothing left in this family for her to cherish. All she has to do is live in this terrible world with her younger brother.
"Um... I have a request."
After tidying up her belongings a bit, Lu Ke looked at Ye Xinglu with a pleading gaze.
In the very end... she wanted her father and mother to be laid to rest...
Then, Lu Ke opened the tightly closed door.
Night Star saw... a beautiful woman with a lovely face lying quietly on the bed, showing no signs of life.
On the bedside table, an overturned bottle of sleeping pills stood out starkly.
Lu Ke came to the bedside, her hand trembling slightly as she gently stroked her mother's already cold cheek, her little face filled with deep sorrow.
"From now on, your big brother will be your support... If you have any unhappiness, feel free to vent it to your big brother."
Ye Xinglu walked to Lu Ke's side and gently embraced the frail girl.
...
The Byakugan is a telescopic eye that can see into the distance and penetrate objects. It can also see the meridians, nerves, and acupoints of the other party, giving it a unique advantage in searching for or detecting danger in advance.
So, not long after leaving Lu Ke's house, Ye Xingluo and the others found her father, who had become a slave to the void, by following Lu Ke's disdainful look.
Ye Xingluo used gentle methods to control Lu Ke's father, and sighed quietly as she looked at the convenience store that was so close by... Lu Ke's father was just a little short of successfully getting the food.
With a snap, Lu Ke's father, now a slave to the void, stopped moving.
Ye Xingluo looked at Lu Ke beside her, and the girl's eyes unexpectedly revealed a hint of strength.
After burying Lu Ke's parents in the nearby garden, Ye Xingluo took Lu Ke to prepare to return to Nantong University.
After all, if they had gone back any later... those unlucky guys might have all turned into spider-men by now.
Lu Ke knelt on the ground, holding her younger brother, gently stroking the fresh soil, and murmured to herself.
Don't worry, Mom and Dad... I will take good care of my younger brother and live on...
"Big brother...I want to become stronger..."
Back by Ye Xingluo's side, looking at the rampaging void creatures in the distance, Lu Ke's eyes suddenly turned somewhat cold.
To her... these terrifying creatures were all enemies who destroyed her warm little home!
"Then let big brother... grant your wish~"
Ye Xinglu said softly, and on the way back, she quickly helped Lu Ke familiarize herself with her ability by using her understanding of the Byakugan.
With so many fresh experimental subjects on the road... wouldn't it be a real waste not to make use of them?
...
Xu tide, somewhat numb, killed the student who had mutated into a spider again.
She had lost count of how many times she had repeated the same action.
Anna, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but turn her head away; she couldn't bear to see such a cruel scene.
Seeing fewer and fewer students in front of me, my heart ached.
The dull, gray eyes of the students in front of her, in particular, caused her unparalleled torment.
They seemed to have come to terms with reality, knowing they could only silently await death.
Anna wanted to tell the students that there was a way to save them, but Xu tide stopped her.
After all, it's still unknown whether Ye Xingluo really has a solution. If he fails, giving these students hope first and then letting them despair... would be too cruel.
As Anna watched the sky gradually darken outside, a sense of impatience rose within her. Her gaze drifted toward the silent door... It had been almost a day already, why hadn't Ye Xingluo returned yet?
If this drags on any longer... everyone will turn into spider-men...
"Oh~ Teacher Anna... did you miss me?"
Just as Anna was somewhat lost in thought, a familiar voice rang in her ears.
For some reason... hearing that voice that usually made her feel suppressed, a sense of joy welled up inside her.
Then she looked up and saw Ye Xinglu's outstretched arms.
After a moment of hesitation, Anna obediently entered Ye Xingluo's embrace.
