It wasn't until all the ice cubes on the water melted that the pain in my body that was gnawed by thousands of ants was relieved a lot.
The bathroom door was pushed open. 051's face was extremely pale, his lips were purple, and his body was shaking. He leaned weakly against the door and smiled weakly at her, "How is it? Are you feeling better?"
Zhixing frowned and crawled out of the water, "Friend, are you sick?"
He didn't speak, just shook his head, picked up the bath towel and handed it over.
Zhixing took it and was surprised when he touched his fingertips, "Why are your hands so cold?"
"It's okay," he retracted his hand, turned around and walked towards the bedroom. After walking a few steps, his legs weakened and he stumbled to the ground.
"Friend!" Zhixing hurriedly helped him up, "What's wrong with you?"
"No, I'm fine..." 051 struggled to stand up, "Maybe I'm too tired, I just need to rest for a while."
He was lying on the sofa, his body shaking uncontrollably. Zhixing squatted in front of him, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, his face became a little ugly, "Do you have a fever?"
"I'm fine..."
Zhi Xing quickly entered the bedroom, brought a quilt and covered him, "Is there any medicine at home?"
051's consciousness had begun to become blurry. She was wrapped tightly in the quilt and still felt cold. Zhixing searched around the living room and ran into the bedroom. Suddenly, she saw the injection on the table...
…
Two hours later, 051 woke up, his pale face softened a lot, and began to turn rosy.
"What's this?"
Opposite him, Zhixing sat cross-legged on the ground, holding up the used injection in his hand.
051 just glanced at it, lowered his eyes, and said softly, "Don't think about it, that doesn't mean anything."
"UP-2 virus, no one knows the symptoms of this virus better than me. First it's chills, then fever, and finally itching all over the body..." Zhixing took a deep breath and locked eyes with him, "Tell me,
are you……"
051 turned his face away, covering his eyes with his arms, and his voice seemed a bit dull, "I have known this feeling for a long time."
Zhixing was stunned for a moment, "Do you understand? Could it be that you have also been infected by this virus?"
After a moment of silence, he spoke quietly, "Back then, 037 and 038 planned to escape from the uninhabited island. They originally planned to take me with them, but... I didn't want to leave. In the end, the black python discovered it and he injected me
Yes, it's the UP-2 virus. The price of living is betraying them." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "In the end, I couldn't bear the pain and betrayed them."
"Why?" After a long time, Zhixing suddenly asked, "It's no different from hell there, why don't you want to leave?"
051 smiled bitterly, "To me, the real world is called hell." He took a deep breath and said word by word, "Because he suspected that my mother was having an affair, my father killed her, right here,
In front of me..."
Zhixing was stunned and opened his mouth. It took him a long time to find his voice, "How old were you then?"
"14." He took away his arm, opened a pair of deep eyes, and stared blankly at the ceiling, "After my father was arrested, no one was willing to adopt the son of a murderer. They gave me a blank look and called me a bastard... In the end
, I began to learn to live alone. Until...I went to an uninhabited island. For me, that is the real paradise."
He smiled softly and continued, "I have the UP-2 antidote in my body and have already formed virus antibodies. As long as I inject UP-2 again to trigger the virus, the antibodies in my body can be stimulated.
When the time comes, my blood will be able to detoxify you."
"Who cares about your kindness?!" Zhixing stood up quickly, grabbed his clothes with both hands, his eyes widened with mist, "It takes your life to save me, I would rather not live!"
He looked at her with soft eyes and a warm smile, "I do it willingly, it has nothing to do with you."
"It doesn't matter!" Zhixing yelled, tears burst out of his eyes, and he clenched his hands tighter, "I don't want to owe you my whole life, and in the end, I can't even find anyone to repay the debt! I don't want to use other people's lives either.
Come and protect yourself! What’s the difference between that and killing you with my own hands?!”
Looking at her, he said nothing, but stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, "Don't cry, I injected the virus in your body with my own hands, and I will be responsible to the end."
"Who asked you to take responsibility with your life?"
"Haha, it's worth it for you."
Zhi Xing opened his misty eyes and stared at him blankly.
He smiled, "Because you are my friend."
"Idiot..." Zhi Xing cried fiercely, grabbing his clothes and holding on tightly, refusing to let go, "Friend, I don't want you to die..."
Staring at her, 051's eye circles were slightly red. Without saying a word, he hugged her tightly, so tight that he never wanted to let go, hoping that time could stop like this. However, he knew very well that this woman would not belong to him.
"After tonight, when I am really poisoned, the antibodies will be produced." He murmured, and a relieved smile broke out on his face, "At that time, you can leave and go find him, he
I must be waiting for you." After a pause, he suddenly lowered his voice, "In the past few days, I didn't tell him any news about you. I'm sorry, forgive my selfishness, I just... just... want you to be with me.
Stay with me for a little longer...because I...I..."
The words that were about to burst out of his mouth were suppressed in his throat. Finally, he smiled helplessly and said, "It's nothing. You will meet soon."
Zhixing suddenly let go of his embrace, "Tell me, is there any other way I can save you!"
He shook his head, his gentle and handsome face showing an unusually calm expression, "If there is one, I will definitely try it."
"But, but..." He couldn't tell whether it was caused by a virus in his body. Zhi Xing only felt that his chest was suffocating and his heart ached even more.
051 raised his hand and gently held her cheek, feeling extremely cherished, like a treasure, "Stay with me for a little longer, okay?"
Tears fell silently.
She nodded silently.
051 smiled, leaned on the sofa, and began to tell her about his childhood. Then, he talked about the uninhabited island and the time he spent following 037 and 038. Although he was inconspicuous and jealous, he was really good.
Like them. Finally, he talked about a woman who accidentally broke into his field of vision.
He said that was his first heartbeat.
He said that after hurting her, he regretted it to death.
He said that now, he was very happy to be able to save her with himself...
