Chapter 5 The Last Peach

"Why is this happening?"

Looking at his black arms, Kane gritted his teeth and asked himself what he had done wrong.

But when you think 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 creatures will dissolve organic matter. He pressed the armor on himself in this way, resulting in corrosion.

In the same situation, why wouldn’t Kaisha be corroded? Is it because the monster died for too long that the piece of armor he used lost its activity? Or is it only the armor of a specific part possible?

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

It's like being infected with a virus, and none of millions of people can produce antibodies.

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

Is there really no chance?

He was angry. Kesha had such a small success rate, so why can't he?

But giving up trying is death. Kane is more willing to believe that he did something wrong and that led to failure!

He will not give up! He will try until he dies!

When Kane suppressed the fear in his heart with his almost crazy hint, the frightened Kaisha threw away the dagger and pressed his right arm, and burst into tears:

"Woooo, what are you doing? You don't need to prove this way, I don't believe you!"

Kesha didn't understand what Kane wanted to do, but she felt very sad when she saw her only companion hurting herself like this.

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

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

Keisha is actually about the same size as Kane, and the girl's development period will come earlier. In addition, her arm that has changed is so strong that Kane cannot break away.

"You don't have to become a monster for me..." Kesha lowered her voice and turned to sob.

Kaysha would not be deceived so simply. What's the point of becoming a monster? She thought Kane did this just to comfort herself.

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

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

Kane was not dominated by sensibility like Kesha, and part of his reason kept his brain awake. He noticed a rustling sound coming from above, just like the sound of a giant insect crawling.

"Say it a different place, it's not safe."

Kane asked Kesha to pick up the dagger and spear, and the two quickly left the place.

...

Somewhere in an underground tunnel, Kane turned his eyes away from his black arms.

The wound is not swollen and white, which is actually the best result.

If the wound dissolves and swells, and the skin swells and ruptures, a liquid that reflects like amniotic fluid flows out, it means that something has been born in his body. Organic matter is broken down into pale substances, which reconstitutes evil life.

This is different from the symbiosis with Kaisha. This is a completely deadly parasite - the monster swallows and absorbs the host's nutrients, and finally breaks out like a different shape.

He turned his eyes to her and said softly, "Eat quickly."

"I'm not hungry." Kesha was leaning against the rock wall and was angry, saying something against her will and disobeying Kane's orders.

It was because she heard Kane's words that her arms turned into this way. Now her skin has turned into a terrifying black and purple color, like bruises on her hands.

"I'll get angry and I'll have the strength to kill monsters after I'm full."

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

"Eat it quickly. If you don't eat this peach, it will rot, and this may be the last time you have eaten it."

This sentence made Kaisha, who had gradually become sensitive in recent days, shed tears: "Why do you still want to kill monsters when you are like this?"

"I can't become a monster without killing monsters. As I said, only by becoming a monster can you survive here."

"But why! Why do you insist on becoming a monster? Isn't it good to be a human?"

Being a monster is a very terrible thing for Kesha. She doesn't understand why Kane can still be so calm when she says such words. She is terriblely calm, just like a human being with the soul of a monster inside her appearance.

But she could truly feel his kindness to her, which was something she had never felt in him before.

Kane became reliable, could take care of the girl's feelings, and at the same time became very strange, and her limited cognition could not understand this transformation.

Is this the growth of the adult population?

Seeing that she insisted on not eating, Kane took a bite by herself. As long as she was optimistic, Kaysha's guilt would not be so strong.

"Look, how delicious and juicy, don't you want to taste it?" He handed over the bitten peach. This time Kesha didn't refuse again, holding the peach and holding his hand.

It seems that I am hesitating to push it back or eat some.

"Isn't death easy? If I don't want to live, I will find a place to die quietly. You can't find me even if you want to find me. Now I'm sharing food with you here. Do you think I'm the one who wants to die? Hey, do you still want me to feed you? How old are you..."

"I'll eat, I'll eat, your chest hurts less, I...I won't be angry with you anymore."

Kane coughed heavily, and the panicked and worried Kaisha finally chewed her mouth to bite the peach. She chewed her mouth a lot in the place where Kane had bitten, and the teeth marks of the two stacked on the edge.

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

The taste of hope.

Be happy, satisfied, want to live, and only by living can you experience this feeling.

Kane waited for Kesha to finish eating peaches and a few pieces of jerky lamb, then took a sip of it by himself.

He said: "Eat a little less food, Kesha, what should we do after we finish this?"

Hearing this sentence, Kesha almost spit out the things and restored them to their original appearance.

Yes, what should I do after I finish the food?

"Village... Village." Kaisha answered hesitantly, but in fact she knew that it was not a way out.

Apart from the ruins of the village, there is no more food to be found underground. Once they have finished eating, they really have nothing to eat.

"We don't know how long we will survive underground, maybe for years, maybe decades, or even if we die. If we want to live, we must make plans now," Kane said.

Kesha looked at the food that was missing in the cloth bag, thinking that no matter how much she planned it, she would not last for so long.

She couldn't come up with an idea, so she could only listen to what Kane wanted to do.

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

"You still want to kill those monsters!" Kaisha's face suddenly turned angrily, and then she successfully cried again: "Kain, are you a fool? Your hands rotten just by touching them! If you eat them, how could you survive!"

She wiped her tears while holding Kane's arm, not letting him do stupid things anymore, but now she is obviously herself who is stupid - she is so stupid that she has snot bubbles.

"I didn't say I could eat with my mouth." Kane helplessly wiped her tears with her sleeves, and then said:

"Come on, reach out and I'll show you."
