When silence returned to the room, Bai Yanghua walked out numbly. Her clothes were still spotless, but her face, arms not covered by gloves, and the entire area of her thighs were all bright red, and even stained
There is some unknown muddy substance.
"Amy, clean me up."
She looked into my eyes and spoke softly, so calmly that it scared me.
"what have you done."
Although I didn't want to know what she had done, I still subconsciously asked.
"It's nothing, I just crushed a few broken apples. Haven't I never vented my desire during this time? I just have to vent when I have a chance. These apples are rotten to the point of my heart, and I can't make jam."
As she spoke, she shook her legs, as if she wanted to get rid of something dirty.
"Oh~"
I already understood the situation in the room, no longer thought about it, and performed a purification technique on her.
"Well, it's much cooler now. Let's change places tonight. I made the room dirty. Just wait a moment, and I'll get the things."
Bai Yanghua turned around calmly and walked into the house, took out our tents, backpacks and other luggage and piled them next to me, then turned around and walked in. I looked at the luggage and took a few more purification shots without saying a word, and then
Start tidying up.
After a while, she walked out of the house again, holding Orion's body like a princess.
"Amy, let's find a clean place to bury him, or cremate him. Which way is easier for him to be transcended?"
She asked me in a very normal tone, and she didn't even ask me what I was going to have for dinner tonight.
"It's better to burn it. The corpse can easily become a breeding ground for plague. This is not good."
"Well, let's burn it. I'll get the wood... Oh, by the way, do you have a way to quickly burn the garbage? This room has been contaminated by garbage. I want to clean it up."
"...Use this."
I thought about it, took out an incendiary bomb and handed it to her. This thing is not a product of modern society, but something created by a relatively advanced "ancient" civilization, and it is not beyond the worldview here.
"how to use?"
"Pull the string and throw it out."
"understood."
I quietly watched Bai Yanghua move the wood I used to block the doors and windows, and then watched her throw an incendiary bomb into the house, exploding a raging fire, and then watched her walk into the burning house and pick up a stick.
The burning branches came back to me, igniting the branches spread under Orion.
"The fire is a little small, Amy, please pour some oil on it."
she whispered.
"Um."
I took out a large piece of flammable animal fat and covered the hunter's body, watching the body gradually burn into a fireball.
"Amy, you will collect his soul, right?"
She stared into my eyes again, her eyes were a little moist, probably due to the black smoke.
"Theoretically, as long as it is a world discovered by our goddess, the information of the dead will be collected."
"That's good. Oh~ Do you also collect the souls of rotten apples?"
"Also collect, good people and bad people are treated equally."
"Can you make an exception? Don't collect rotten apples this time..."
"Probably not. This is not something I am responsible for. Yanghua, we have corresponding procedures for dealing with bad guys. You don't have to do this."
"Oh~ that's fine~"
She put on her nun's robe again and tightened her headscarf.
"The fire is burning so hard and it's so cold. Let's go quickly."
She picked up the backpack I packed and walked away without saying a word.
"There are still some people over there, don't worry about them."
I looked back at the other room and saw those frightened eyes hiding in the darkness.
"I don't know how to pick apples. I can't tell the difference between good and bad. If I accidentally crush them all, it will be bad. Let's go."
After Bai Yanghua paused for a moment, he moved forward at a faster speed.
"knew."
I took one last look at the burning house and quickly chased after him.
…
Baiyanghua didn't speak along the way, just walked forward aimlessly. I didn't say much, just thought about future plans while walking, in order to disperse the unhappiness in my heart. The two of them walked until the sunrise.
, she finally stopped on a small hill, looking in the direction of the sun and not knowing what she was thinking.
"Amy."
"What."
"I killed someone."
"Execution to be precise."
"I couldn't control myself, so I crushed them into pieces bit by bit, letting them die in extreme pain."
"They deserve it."
"I think I went too far and committed a crime. I need to be punished."
"If you want, I can arrange a punishment for you."
"Then please Amy, please punish me. I don't want to become the bad person I hate most, I don't want to become bad..."
Yanghua turned her face, her two lines of tears shining particularly brightly against the rising sun.
"I know, so from now on, you have to work harder to help me save the world. This is also part of the atonement."
"Well... I will work hard and never allow innocent people to die in front of me again."
"This is a false statement, and it is unrealistic. We will definitely see more deaths during the rest of the journey, and there will be nothing we can do about it."
"That's right, we don't know what we can do now..."
"But at least we have a direction."
"Amy, let's run."
"What's the meaning."
"Run faster, go to the next village and town, and spread Yesha's antibodies, so that more people can be saved. We can only do this one thing now, so do it quickly, that's right
Bar?"
"That's right."
"Hurry up then!"
"But I don't know where to go."
"It doesn't matter anywhere. As long as you follow the road, you will definitely find people there!"
"Fine."
In this way, Baiyanghua and I ran on the potholed dirt road in the wilderness, hoping to find other settlements. But the world once again showed its malice. The area leading to this dirt road became darker and darker. It was obvious that we were heading towards
Running in the infected area. Due to the movement of humans and animals in the early stage of the plague in this world, the outbreak areas are scattered. It does not mean that we can avoid it by walking in a certain direction. Obviously, we went in the wrong direction this time.
"Yanghua, it's time to change direction. This is an infected area."
"It doesn't matter, go in and take a look. Maybe there are survivors like Yesha?"
Baiyanghua didn't want to stop. She ignored the charred remains of the village passing by and continued to move deeper.
"Yanghua, we are wasting our time."
"No! No way! In such a big world, it's impossible for Yesha to be the only one who has antibodies!"
"This place has been cleaned up by the church. The protagonist of the world is not so easy to meet."
"What if we encounter it? What if we miss it? Then wouldn't our sin be unforgivable!"
"Yanghua, calm down! We can't waste time, we should go to a place where the plague has not yet reached!"
I grabbed her arm and refused to let go even as she struggled wildly.
"Let me go Amy! Let me atone for my sins! I want to atone for my sins~~~!"
She struggled and cried bitterly.
"Cry, it will make you feel better if you cry. It is right to cry when you do something wrong. I also did something, so I will cry with you~"
I held Yanghua tightly in my arms and turned off the function of suppressing emotions.
"Wow~~~~!!!"
The girl's cry echoed in the dead wasteland, as creepy as the wail of a banshee...
