Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

The only thing Si Zhou was thinking about was Hao Qiling behind him.

After realizing his strange reaction, his heart tightened and he didn't dare to face the shameful thoughts in his heart.

"Brother, I have reached level 2 and can now control the transformation freely."

The girl's joyful voice came from behind. She sensed the energy in her body and made a judgment.

"That's very good."

Si Zhou turned his head and saw the blush on Hao Qiling's neck and her eyes drifting left and right. He knew that she was trying to find a topic to cover up the previous embarrassing incident, so he continued the conversation.

"Well, let's go back then."

Hao Qiling avoided Si Zhou's gaze, looked in the direction she came from, and said.

Si Zhou nodded, walked forward, and looked for a way out together with Hao Qiling.

"Strange? I clearly came in from this direction, so why can't I see any marks?"

Hao Qiling tried to identify the direction and found that all the tire tracks she had followed when she came here were gone.

"Although not all the plants here are alien, most of them have evolved to some extent after being baptized by the red rain at the end of the world."

"Those grasses that were crushed by cars were very resilient before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, they should have recovered faster."

Hearing Si Zhou's guess, Hao Qiling was a little confused.

"what?"

When she came, she thought about the tire tracks and was anxious to find Si Zhou, so she didn't make any special marks.

Now that there is no mark, how are they supposed to get out?

Si Zhou raised his head, and saw tiny rays of sunlight shining through the lush branches and leaves.

The light was not very bright anymore, and he estimated that it was almost dusk and the sun was about to set.

"It's getting late. It will be troublesome if it gets dark soon. Let's find an open place to stay for the night. We can talk about going out tomorrow."

Si Zhou looked at Hao Qiling and suggested.

"it is good."

Since it is impossible to go out in a short period of time, it is better to find a place to have a good rest first.

Hao Qiling started her new goal - to find a place to stay at night.

Finally, the two stopped at a lake.

Most of the things stored in Si Zhou's space are drinking water, and it is a waste to use it for cleaning and other chores.

Coincidentally, there is a large flat open space near the lake.

There are no other foreign plants on the ground except some short and non-aggressive weeds, so it is relatively safe.

In order to have the best of both worlds, we decided to set up our temporary base here.

Si Zhou took out a waterproof mat from the space, laid a soft blanket on it to isolate the moisture on the grass leaves, and then lit a bonfire.

After dinner, Hao Qiling lay on the blanket, looking at the starry sky above her head, and suddenly asked with some emotion.

"Brother, do you think there is a chance to start over again after death?"

Si Zhou's body stiffened. He paused in adding firewood to the campfire and turned his head.

Hao Qiling put her hands under her head, looking lost, and she didn't look like she knew something and was trying something.

"Why do you ask that?"

Si Zhou took out a soft pillow that Hao Qiling often used from the space, put it under her head, and asked her back.

"Thank you, brother."

Hao Qiling felt the soft and comfortable touch under his head, thanked him, and continued:

"I thought of my mother. My father said she loved me very much, but I have almost no memory of her. If she knew that she would die a few years after giving birth to me, would she choose not to give birth to me if she had the chance to do it all over again?"

Si Zhou heard a hint of hesitation in her tone and didn't know what to say to comfort her.

I heard Hao Qiling's firm tone again, "If Mom could live again, I hope she wouldn't give birth to me. She should also have her own life."

She has always been a girl with a soft appearance but a tough heart.

Si Zhou stared at the campfire, letting the orange-red flames dance in his eyes, and felt a rare tranquility.

As if her imagination had aroused her desire to speak, Hao Qiling started to ask many "what ifs" based on that question:

"If I could be reborn, I wouldn't have gotten angry with my dad before the end of the world. It's good for a family to be together, even if we can't live long."

"And Aunt Si, I know she really cared about me, but at that time I didn't think straight, like a little kid, I couldn't tolerate the slightest betrayal."

Father Hao has been working outside all year round, and it is difficult for him to have three meals on time. He suffers from many illnesses. Not to mention Mother Si, who has been abused too many times by her ex-husband and has many old injuries on her body.

Both of them had poor physical fitness. When the end of the world came, they were infected by the red rain. They couldn't survive the evolution, and committed suicide with the last bit of consciousness before turning into zombies.

There was no chaos at that time, and Si Zhou went back to collect their bodies.

He told Hao Qiling about this matter a long time ago. Although he was sad and desperate, life was precious and he had to go on with his life.

So now, Hao Qiling is just thinking about some beautiful what-ifs.

After thinking about some impossible hypotheticals, Hao Qiling suddenly sat up from the blanket and said a little excitedly:

"Brother, I actually think there's nothing wrong with being siblings with you. Although Aunt Si is not registered with my father, I recognize you as my brother. From now on, we will be siblings with our adoptive parents."

"Brother, from now on you are my real brother."

"Shut up, you."

Si Zhou took out a thick blanket and threw it directly on Hao Qiling, covering her entire body with the blanket, and those words were muffled inside.

"Brother, I'm serious. I definitely didn't mean to say nice things to trick you."

Hao Qiling thought that it was because of her previous behavior of causing trouble after she surrendered that made him lose trust in her, so she struggled to get up and wanted to swear to the sky to prove herself.

"sleep."

Si Zhou was sleeping on the other side of the blanket with his eyes closed, his tone a little angry.

Hao Qiling was frightened by his attitude, and fell down holding the blanket, and responded weakly: "Oh."

Si Zhou didn't mean to scare her, but when he heard that she wanted to treat him as her own brother, the oppressive feeling in his heart was so intense that it made him feel breathless.

This feeling filled the brain, like a chain that made it impossible to escape.

But why?

Clearly, he had threatened Hao Qiling, who refused to admit defeat, with her life in the past to force her to call him brother;

Now, when she took the initiative and sincerely wanted to be siblings, he hurriedly refused to escape.

He didn't want to be her brother anymore.

So what do you want to do?

This is a difficult puzzle, or rather, a puzzle that Si Zhou dares not solve.

Based on Hao Qiling's current definition of the relationship between the two, if this puzzle is solved, the relationship between them will definitely undergo a drastic change.

No one knows whether this change is good or bad.

Si Zhou suppressed those unexpressible thoughts deep in his heart.
