Doomsday Savior (10): Do you have me in your future?
Si Qi came to the upper office. He needed to talk to his superiors about foreign affairs.
After taking a seat, he got straight to the point as usual. As he was talking, he began to complain: “In the first half hour after the apocalypse, we clearly shared the response measures with all countries. Why did they become so confused when the answers were placed in front of them…”
Si Qi saw the reason in a future documentary.
Abroad, zombies came, and a group of people picked up weapons and bravely killed the enemies, and then the more they killed, the more zombies there were.
Their government realized that the situation was not good and finally remembered the textbooks sent by China. They quickly told everyone that there were zombies attacking outside and asked them to stay at home and not leave. The army would handle everything.
A group of people heard this and thought: Are you kidding me? Why would I be afraid of a mere zombie? They are leaving me here to die. This must be a government conspiracy!
Then, one by one, the Calabash brothers rushed out to rescue their grandfather1.
Then the number of zombies continued to increase, people began to panic, and in the chaos they roared angrily: This is all the government’s fault, we must protect ourselves!
Then they formed gangs with guns and started looting and smashing things everywhere, doing whatever they wanted. In just one day, they turned their country into a purgatory.
Si Qi was simply speechless.
He said to his superiors: “There is a cow in Country J. It was accidentally scratched by a zombie and then coincidentally infected, becoming the only zombie animal. The plant that Lei Feng brought back from City C happens to be the antidote that can save it. We just need to observe its recovery process and extract the vaccine…”
As Si Qi was talking, he noticed that the upper level opposite him was smiling and seemed very happy, and he could hardly continue.
“What’s wrong?”
The superior was surprised and asked, “You don’t know?”
Si Qi said calmly: “Didn’t you tell me not to use my abilities unless it’s important?”
The superior was silent for a moment, then he said with emotion: “You think your health is not important?”
Si Qi: “No…”
As soon as he uttered a syllable, Si Qi exclaimed, “Ah!” and asked in surprise, “Why is this happening?”
The upper level smiled and said, “You are just too conscious, so I can’t bear to say anything to you.”
Xiu Xiu asked curiously: [What’s wrong, Master? ]
[I won’t die for a while] Si Qi said: [That person with life-related abilities is a golden finger that the small world arranged for the Son of the World. It is predicted that she will never help me…]
But as Si Qi said, the future is always changing, especially the future related to the Son of the World, which was even more unpredictable.
Because of Si Qi’s actions, the team of the Son of the World was split, the life-type ability user was arrested, and the clone ability user did not leave with Li Si. In the end, Si Qi was saved. This was something he had not expected.
The superior patted Si Qi on the shoulder cheerfully and said to him: “Don’t take on everything by yourself in the future. If there is any problem, we can shoulder it together. You said you want to go to country J, right? No problem, let’s have a meeting later and organize people to discuss the specific action plan…”
Ten minutes later, Si Qi walked out of the office.
He had originally planned to solve the problems on this planet within a few years and then leave this world, but now his life span had suddenly been greatly extended, disrupting all his plans.
“never mind.”
Si Qi easily accepted the fact that he would soon die, and also easily accepted the fact that he could easily live to be a hundred years old. He returned to the office, closed the door, picked up the documents on the table, and said nonchalantly: “Get to work.”
…
“Knock knock”
“Come in.”
There was a knock on the office door, and Lei Feng pushed it open and walked in with a Pudding in his hand.
It was already early morning three days later. In order to escort that group of dangerous ability users back to the capital, Lei Feng had been so busy that he had not slept well for several days.
After finishing the work, he asked his subordinates who knew how to make desserts how to make pudding overnight. The next morning, he brought the finished product to Si Qi.
Si Qi said, “You’re back. Are you not hurt?”
Lei Feng laughed: “Aren’t you the one who knows best whether I’m injured or not?”
Si Qi put down the pen in his hand, turned around and said, “This is different.”
Lei Feng felt warm in his heart, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
He placed the pudding in front of Si Qi and said, “You don’t know what this pudding tastes like, do you?”
Si Qi picked up the small ceramic bowl and said slowly, “Even if I knew, the happiness I feel while eating it wouldn’t diminish.”
Lei Feng was surprised and said, “This is the first time I’ve heard such a sentimental word as happiness from you.”
Si Qi: “…………”
He scooped up the pudding with a spoon and put it into his mouth. The mellow and rich taste spread in his mouth, and he subconsciously squinted his eyes beautifully.
He didn’t know if it’s an illusion, but the taste was exactly the same as what he ate in the previous world.
Maybe it was because the pudding recipe was pretty much the same in all worlds?
Lei Feng looked carefully at Si Qi, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time. The corners of the boy’s eyes curled up with satisfaction, and his indifference and gloom completely disappeared, leaving only the youth’s liveliness.
This rare vitality and the satisfaction of tasting a favorite thing reveal a small gap in the tightly closed defense net, revealing the soft and beautiful appearance inside.
Lei Feng subconsciously stared at the boy, and the emotions that had been difficult to control since the first time he saw him began to stir again.
But seeing the boy’s calm reaction when facing him, Lei Feng suddenly hesitated.
He said, “Has your future…changed?”
Si Qi nodded: “Yes, life span has been extended.”
There were so many people who were willing to share their vitality with him, and this person in front of him was one of them.
Theoretically, it would not be a problem for Si Qi to live to the end of human lifespan. However, after Lei Feng died, Si Qi, who had already completed his mission, lost his best friend and had no reason to live, so he refused help from people around him and left with Lei Feng.
“Then…” Looking at the boy’s clear eyes, Lei Feng’s Adam’s apple moved, and he said hoarsely: “Will your future include me?”
Si Qi nodded and smiled: “Of course.”
“…………”
Lei Feng lowered his eyes somewhat disappointedly.
This was not the tone he wanted to hear, it was like, just like a friend.
“Then, can you tell me…who my future partner will be?”
Si Qi looked at the man carefully and confirmed: “After knowing the future, the future may also change because of this. Are you sure you want to know?”
Lei Feng nodded seriously.
Si Qi replied: “You have never married or had children in your life.”
Lei Feng opened his lips slightly, and after a moment he smiled bitterly and said, “That’s right. Then, what about you?”
Si Qi ate his pudding and said casually, “I don’t have any either.”
Lei Feng’s eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, “Why?”
This time Si Qi was silent for a long time.
He said slowly: “No reason, I’m not interested in falling in love.”
Lei Feng was silent, but he did not give up and continued, “That’s not necessarily the case. You said things will change in the future.”
As long as his determination was stronger than before, would the future be different?
He didn’t dare to tell him how he felt now, because the boy was too young and they had only known each other for less than half a month. A hasty confession would scare Si Qi.
What could he do next?
Who knew what would happen in the future?
Lei Feng was secretly looking forward to it.
Si Qi put down the pudding bowl in his hand with satisfaction and smacked his lips reluctantly.
“Delicious.”
Lei Feng smiled and said, “If you want to eat, I’ll bring it to you next time.”
Si Qi raised his lips, “That’s great.”
The two chatted for a while, and Lei Feng turned and left with the empty pudding bowl.
Before he walked far, a voice suddenly came: [It seems that even for this pudding, I have to live in this world for a while longer.]
Lei Feng paused, turned around and asked in confusion: “Did you say s——”
[Master, Master~ Xiu Xiu also wants to make pudding for you~~]
Lei Feng: ????
Si Qi turned around in confusion: “What?”
Lei Feng opened his mouth and said in confusion: “You just said how long you will live or something…”
Si Qina was surprised and asked, “I didn’t say that?”
Lei Feng: “…………”
Si Qi raised his eyebrows and asked Xiu Xiu: [Did I just say that? ]
Xiu Xiu: [No, Master~~]
Lei Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the first word “Did”. He saw with his own eyes that Si Qi had his mouth closed, but he made a sound. He also heard a clear boy’s voice nearby.
He frowned and covered his head in discomfort.
The vast memory was like a fog that engulfed him, and he could not see anything clearly.
What was going on? Has he awakened his special ability?
His head was getting more and more dizzy and swollen. Lei Feng didn’t want to show such a weak look in front of the boy, so he said with difficulty: “I’m leaving first.”
Si Qi frowned, thinking Lei Feng looked a little strange, and said worriedly, “I’ll have someone take you there.”
As he spoke, he used his ability to check on Lei Feng from behind and found that he had not encountered any troubles and that he was the same as usual when they met again, so he felt relieved.
Notes
- The calabash boy saves grandpa – deliver them one by one. This is a catchphrase that originated in the Internet era . It comes from the plot of the Chinese cartoon “Calabash Brothers” . Specifically refers to the behavior of not concentrating the combat power in games or other team battles, but fighting the enemy’s main force one by one, and ultimately being defeated by the enemy one by one. ↩︎
