He Comes From the Void

Chapter 5: Last peach

   "Why is this?"

   Looking at the blackened arm, Kane gritted his teeth and asked himself which step he had done wrong.

   But thinking about it carefully, there are many details that are unclear.

   For example, the void is the opposite of matter, so the flesh and blood of the void creature will dissolve the organic matter. He pressed the nail piece on himself in this way, causing it to be corroded.

   In the same situation, why wouldn't Keisha be corroded? Is it because the monster has been dead for too long, and the piece of armor he used has lost its activity? Or is it only for nails in specific parts?

   In addition, symbiosis is also unstable. It has been 3,500 years since Icacia fell. During this period, I don't know how many people were dragged into the ground by monsters, but there is only one case of symbiosis like Kesha.

   It's like being infected with a virus, and one in tens of millions of people may not be able to produce antibodies.

   Maybe Kesha’s success is just a coincidence among coincidences. Even if he completely imitates the process, he may not get the same result in the end...

   Is there really no chance?

   He was angry, Kesha succeeded with such a small success rate, why couldn't he?

   If you give up trying, you will die. Kane prefers to believe that he has done a certain step wrong to cause the failure!

  He won't give up! He will try to die!

   When Kane used almost crazy hints to suppress the fear in his heart, the terrified Keisha dropped the dagger and held down his right arm, crying loudly:

   "Woo, what are you doing? You don't need to prove it, I didn't believe you!"

   Keisha didn't quite understand what Kane wanted to do, but seeing her only companion hurt herself so much, she felt very sad.

   Now she feels that her skin pain is nothing compared to Kane.

   "Didn't I say that, only monsters can live here, I must become a monster." Kane sighed and replied.

   Kesha is actually about the same height as Kane, and the girl's developmental period will come earlier. Coupled with her altered arm, the strength was so strong that Kane couldn't break his hand.

   "You don't need to be a monster for me..." Keisha lowered her voice and turned to sobbing.

  Kaisha won’t be fooled so simply, what good is it to become a monster? She thought Kane did it just to comfort herself.

   For that ridiculous sense of identity... But how can those be exchanged for their lives?

   She has lost everything, she really really doesn't want to lose the only friendship left.

   Kane is not dominated by sensibility like Keisha, part of his reason keeps his brain awake. He noticed a rustling movement from above, just like the rustling sound of a giant insect crawling.

   "Let’s talk about it from another place, it’s not safe here anymore."

   Kane asked Keisha to pick up the dagger and spear, and the two quickly left where they were.

  ...

   Somewhere in an underground tunnel, Kane looked away from his blackened arm.

   The wound was not swollen or white, but it was actually the best result.

   If the wound dissolves and swells, and the swelling and rupture of the skin leaks out a reflective liquid like amniotic fluid, it means that something is born in his body. The organic matter is decomposed into pale matter and reconstitutes evil life.

   This is different from the kind of symbiosis in Kesha's body, this is a completely deadly parasitic-the monster eats and absorbs the host's nutrition, and finally breaks out like an alien.

   He turned his gaze to her and said softly, "Hurry up and eat."

   "I'm not hungry." Keisha was leaning on the rock wall, suffocating herself, and violating Kane's orders with her breath.

   She just listened to Kane's words, which caused his arm to become like this, and now his skin has turned into a terrifying black and purple color, like a bruise full of hands.

   "Receive the air bag, you have the strength to kill the monsters only when you are full."

   But Kane was not angry. He walked over and took the last peach from the food pile that had been placed at her feet, put it in the cashmere sweater and wiped it carefully, and then sent it to her mouth.

   "Hurry up, this peach will rot if you don't eat it, and this may be the last time you will eat a peach."

   This sentence made Keisha, who has gradually become sensitive in recent days, directly shed tears: "Why do you want to kill monsters after this."

   "I can't become a monster without killing the monster. Still, I can only live here if I become a monster."

   "But why! Why do you insist on becoming a monster? Is it bad to be a human being?"

   Becoming a monster is a very terrible thing for Keisha. She didn't understand how Kane could be so calm when she said such things. The calmness is terrible, as if a human being has the soul of a monster inside.

   But she can really feel his kindness towards herself, which is what she has never felt in him before.

   Kane has become more reliable and will take care of the girl's feelings. At the same time, she has become so strange. Her limited cognition can't understand this change.

   Is this growth in a large population?

   Seeing that she insisted not to eat, Kane took a bite first. As long as she is optimistic, Kesha's guilt will not be so strong.

   "Look, how delicious and juicy, don't you want to taste it?" He handed over the bitten peach, this time Keisha did not refuse, holding the peach and holding his hand.

   seems to be hesitating, to push it back, or to eat some.

"Isn’t it easy to die? If I don’t want to live anymore, I’ll find a place to die quietly. You can’t find me if you want to. And now I’m here to share food with you, you think I’m a person who wants to die. Are you? Hey, do you want me to feed you? How old are you..."

   "I eat, I eat, your chest hurts, talk less, I... I'm not angry with you anymore."

   Kane coughed heavily, and the panicked Keisha finally gnawed his mouth to bite the peach, and took another big bite where Kane had bitten. The two teeth were printed on the edge.

   This time she no longer tasted despair, but a crisp and juicy sweetness.

   The taste of hope.

   Happy, contented, UU reading www.uukanshu.com wants to live, only to live can experience this feeling.

   Kane waited for Keisha to quietly finish eating the peaches and a few pieces of dried lamb, and then took a sip from the water bag.

   He said, "Eat less food, Keisha, what do we do when we finish eating these?"

   Hearing these words, Keisha almost spit out the things, restoring them to their original appearance.

   Yes, what should I do when the food is finished?

   "The village... the village." Keisha replied hesitantly, but in fact she also knew that it was not a way out.

   Except for those in the ruins of the village, there is nothing edible in this underground. Once even those are eaten, they really have nothing to eat.

   "We don't know how long we need to survive in this underground. It may be years, decades, or even death. If you want to live, you must plan now." Kane said.

   Keisha saw that nearly half of the food in the bag had been lost, thinking that no matter how planned, it would not last that long.

   She couldn't think of an idea, so she could only listen to what Kane wanted to do.

   "According to my observation, there is no shortage of everything underground, but there is no shortage of monsters. If we want to survive, we can only eat them."

"You still want to kill those monsters!" Kesha's face suddenly became puffed up, and then she managed to cry herself again: "Are you a fool, Kane? Your hand rotted just by touching it." How can you survive if you eat it!"

   She wiped her tears and put her arms around Kane's arm, not letting him do stupid things anymore, but now she is obviously stupid-she is so stupid that she has a nasal bubble.

   "I didn't say to eat with my mouth again." Kane helplessly wiped her tears with his sleeve, and then said:

   "Come, stretch out your hand, I will show it to you."
