Zombies take me as air

Chapter 182 The dream at the bottom of the well
The idea of ​​her becoming a monster filled Kong Qi's mind.

She looked at the wet fingertips. She had just scratched through the ice with her nails, and the nails were unharmed. Is this something humans can do?
"Qiqi, go back if you have nothing to do." Lu Xiangbei slowly approached her, reaching out to gently wrap her shoulders.

"Xiangbei, have I turned into a monster?" Kong Qi would rather become a zombie, because then she would have no thoughts, no fear or pain.

"It's okay, you're just sick, you'll be fine once you're cured." Lu Xiangbei coaxed softly.

"Yes, you are sick, what kind of monster, don't think about it." Ma Jun said so, but the circles of his eyes were red.

Kong Qi grew up in an orphanage, and the code of conduct engraved in her bones included the rule of not causing trouble to others.

She calmed down suddenly, this time Lu Xiangbei didn't take the blue stone away and let her hold it.

They went back to the hut, and Kong Qi lay back on the bed with the stone in her arms.

She made a fuss all night, and when the three of them returned to the house, it was already light.

After falling asleep with the stone in her arms, Kong Qi never dreamed again.

She didn't sleepwalk anymore, Lu Xiangbei and Ma Jun still took turns guarding the gate, but they finally didn't have to go out to find someone, and they could rest for two days.

They used fire to treat Kong Qi, but her eyes no longer leaked liquid.

After trying three times to no avail, Lu Xiangbei gave up. Kong Qi was so hot that there were several blood blisters on her mouth and pimples on her forehead.

Kong Qi reckoned that her 'disease' could not be cured, and she couldn't help thinking about what Lu Xiangbei and Ma Jun would do when she turned into a monster like the white zombie.

She didn't want to hurt them, and she didn't want them to kill her to protect themselves.

She secretly wrote a suicide note in the dead of night, planning to leave at the right time, away from the living and flee to an uninhabited area to resign to fate.

Lu Xiangbei has been comforting her, saying that everything is normal after she retrieves the stone, and maybe there is no harm in being infected by the blue stone.

Ma Jun also agreed, telling her not to think too much, as long as some diseases are not stimulated, she will never suffer from them for a lifetime.

She heard Ma Jun talk about her strange behavior before, and she thought that Lu Xiangbei and Ma Jun were infected by the blue stone and turned into monsters who would not eat human food.

In fact, she licked all the dry food and wanted to eat alone.

Her eyeballs turned blue for a while, and turned normal for a while, which scared Ma Jun half to death.

The liquid that came out of her eyes when she was roasted was blue.

They still can't figure out when she was infected. She and Lu Xiangbei did the same job when baking blue stones on the lake.

If she inhaled the gas that evaporated from the heated blue stone, then Lu Xiangbei should have inhaled it too.

Even the two donkeys and the big wolf and the two wolves cannot escape bad luck.

Lu Xiangbei only guessed that this blue stone is afraid of heat, and it will change when exposed to heat.

The body of the white zombie they killed was like ice, and the blue strange flower could obviously survive in a cold environment.

If the strange flower is related to the blue stone, can it be considered that the blue stone also likes 'cold' and dislikes 'hot'?
It is true that Lu Xiangbei's speculation lacks scientific basis and experimental evidence, but the existing conditions are in front of them. It is better for them to try than nothing.

Facts have proved that the roasting method is indeed effective, but Kong Qi's 'symptoms' have not completely disappeared after roasting the blue water.

She just doesn't eat alone anymore, but she sleepwalks without the blue stone.

Lu Xiangbei planned to take her to Feng Province for medical treatment. There were doctors and equipment there. Although the medical conditions were not as good as before the disaster, they were better than nothing.

Kong Qi was terrified, she was afraid of turning into a monster in front of everyone.

But she didn't show this fear. She prepared a suicide note and decided to find a chance to run away.

Ma Jun takes a day off to go back to his hometown to bury his wife and daughter. He can't leave Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei alone. They never leave him when he is asleep. He can't do anything ungrateful.

Kong Qi chose to run away on the night when Ma Jun was away. She secretly said goodbye to the second donkey and asked it not to bark. She did this for Lu XiangBei's good.

It is not clear to Lu Xiangbei how dangerous it is to go to Feng Province through the zombie-occupied area.

He's going to die, Kong Qi can't let him do that.

So when she was making dinner, she added sleeping pills to Lu Xiangbei's soup.

Considering that Lu Xiangbei may have some resistance to this type of drug, she added more doses than the usual dose.

When Lu Xiangbei fell asleep, she put the suicide note in his hand and quietly walked out of the room.

She didn't bring anything else, she didn't bring any equipment or food, she just rode her bicycle on the road.

Of course, she still had the blue stone in her bosom, and she was going to take it where no one could find it.

Let it have no chance of harming others in the future.

She didn't go to the city, but pedaled into the mountains.

It happened to be snowing, and the snow was getting stronger and stronger, and the wind was also very strong. In just a few hours, the traces she left would be buried by the wind and snow.

After entering the mountain, she simply hid her bicycle under a bridge and climbed up the mountain on foot.

She walked deep into the mountains and walked for hours without feeling cold or tired.

Now that all the vegetation on the mountain is withered, it is not easy to find a place to hide.

She turned over several hills before finding a cave.

She saw a sign on the side of the road, saying that this was the ruins of the Bandit Cave. The cave had already been blown down, and the sign warned tourists not to enter.

The location of the cave is very hidden, almost covered by snow, it is in the middle of two rocks, eight meters deep underground.

Kong Qi slid down without hesitation. The slope was extremely steep, and she had to use ropes to go up.

But she didn't bring a rope, only the Snake Tooth Saber that Lu Xiangbei gave her.

She also thought about it. Fending for herself does not mean she is willing to be bitten to death by wild beasts.

If a beast attacks her while she is alive, she will still fight back.

When she went down to the cave, she found that the space inside was extremely narrow, most of the space was occupied by rocks, and the entrance was blocked by stones.

However, there is still a little space at the bottom, which can accommodate a person to get in.

She climbed into the cave and climbed as far in as she could.

I just hope that no one will find her, this blue stone.

Her flashlight lasted for ten hours, and ten hours was enough for her to hide deeply.

After climbing about ten kilometers deep, she found a deep well, I don't know how deep it is.

She jumped down without hesitation, because she was afraid of being controlled by the blue stone again and ran out in a state of sleepwalking.

The well was very deep and there was no water below. Kong Qi was prepared to fall disabled so that she could not go out.

The more ruthless she was to herself, the safer Lu Xiangbei and the others would be.

If she made up her mind, she must do it quickly, lest she lose her courage over time.

She fell to the bottom of the well and landed solidly on a pile of stones.

The excruciating pain in her body reminded her of how badly she had fallen, and she slammed her head against the wall of the well and soon lost consciousness.

She opened her eyes, and there was another blue world in front of her. She didn't know well, and she was controlled by the blue stone again.

But her bones seemed to be broken. She was at the bottom of a deep well and it was difficult to climb up again. She left the healing bracelet to Lu Xiangbei.

There was blue snow floating in the blue world, she didn't move, she looked down at her hands.

She was standing on a blue snow field, her hands and legs were fine, this was undoubtedly a dream world, because she had just been injured.

She sat cross-legged on the ground, ready to sit and wait to die. Anyway, she didn't feel any pain in the dream, so death would feel better.

The world of dreams is quiet and silent, the snow falls quietly, and there is no wind or cold.

Time passed bit by bit, this time no one came to call her to wake her up from the dream.

She simply lay down, her limbs spread out, on the thick snow.

The sky in the dream world is also blue, there are no clouds in the sky, and I don't know where the snow comes from.

Of course, this itself is an illusory world, so it is not surprising that something unreasonable occurs.

She lay down in the snow for a long time, at least hours, from the way she felt time.

The snow stopped, and the sky and the earth were all blue. She sat when she was tired of lying down, and lay down when she was tired of sitting, neither thirsty nor hungry.

Time seemed to freeze, and she began to think about Lu Xiangbei, wondering if he woke up, saw the suicide note, and came out to look for her despite her persuasion.

Or listen to her persuasion and go back to the small village alone?
Lu Xiangbei can do everything, so farming is definitely no problem, and with the 'Huaqiu' around, it's easy to grow all kinds of crops.

There is a healing bracelet, which can keep him free from illness and pain, that's all she can do for him.

On the road of survival in the last days, there will always be people who will be left behind.

Every day after meeting Lu Xiangbei, she might have stolen it from fate.

Now is the time to pay back...

The eyes full of blue suddenly split in front of her, like a shattered mirror, the sky and the snow field melted into countless tiny fragments.

She closed her eyes subconsciously, fearing that they would collapse into her eyes.

However, she didn't feel anything scratching her skin, so she opened her eyes, and saw the fragments turned into fine powder and fell to the ground.

They are like fine sand, and after falling to the ground, they are like quicksand, gathering in one place.

Finally, it condensed again, forming a whirlwind of sand and sweeping towards her.

Her heart is calm, she has nothing to be afraid of, anyway, it is death, as long as the safety of others is not threatened after death.

Suddenly, she felt something move in front of her chest, and then the necklace she was wearing next to her body flew out of her collar.

The necklace hit the blue sandstorm, the sandstorm dissipated instantly, and the necklace fell to the ground.

She got up and walked over to pick up the necklace, only to find that it had changed color, and the jade flowers turned blue.

click-

There was another sound of glass shattering, the space in front of her eyes split open, and the debris flew, and she instinctively raised her arms to protect her eyes.

"Ah... it hurts, it hurts!" When she raised her hand, she felt a heart-piercing pain.

Not only her arms, but every part of her body was in pain. While crying for pain, her head hurt like it was about to split open.

"Ouch... Ouch..." She didn't dare to make any big moves, so she could only hum in a low voice.

The pain was so intense that she had obviously returned to reality from a dream.

She touched the back of her head and felt blood on her hand, then pulled out the jade necklace that was close to her body to have a look, the pendant turned blue as expected.

The blood on her hand was smeared on it, and it was absorbed by it immediately.

She was so scared that she almost threw the necklace, but she just shook and resisted the urge.

What is she afraid of now?It's not bad to die from being sucked blood, it's definitely better than starving to death.

But the pendant only took a sip and didn't continue to suck blood, so she stuffed it back into her collar.

At this time, she noticed that the blue stone was gone, and she jumped into the well holding the blue stone, which she was very sure of.

Gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, she groped around and found blue powder on the stone, as well as some on her clothes and trousers.

Could it be that the blue stone really turned into ashes?

It seems that this is the case. Which one is real, the dream or the reality?
Kong Qi was in a cold sweat from the pain, and even her breathing would be involved in the pain. She thought to herself that she might as well continue to dream, because it would be too painful to return to reality!
The flashlight was not broken, and illuminated the square inch of space at the bottom of the well.

She was sore, cold and hungry at this time, and all her feelings came up.

She missed Lu Xiangbei very much, regretted leaving, and she shed tears thinking about it.

Sure enough, courage is something that will be gone when it is too hard, and it will be cowardly when it is used up.

She lived at the bottom of the well like years, the flashlight ran out of power and went out, and she knew she had been down for almost ten hours.

The temperature deep underground was higher than that on the ground, so she didn't freeze to death for the time being.

She would rather freeze to death, which is also a relatively mild way of death.

But as time passed, she was in so much pain that she survived from night to dawn, and from dawn to sunset, but she didn't freeze to death.

"Damn, I'm thirsty." Kong Qi leaned against the wall of the well, pursed her lips, and found that her lips were dry.

A person can only survive for three days without drinking water. Now that one day has passed, she should have froze to death.

But she didn't, so the question now became which came first, death from thirst or death from freezing.

She wanted to sleep, but her body hurt so much that she couldn't sleep at all.

After two days, she still didn't freeze to death, but she was dying of thirst, but she couldn't die.

Wang Wang——

She thought she was hallucinating, as if she heard a dog barking.

Wang——

She didn't realize it wasn't an auditory hallucination until the sound reached the top of her head.

Two donkeys?

She wanted to scream, but a large movement would hurt her head, so she could only whisper 'two donkeys'.

She believed that the second donkey's ears would definitely be able to hear it. If the second donkey could find the mouth of the well, he must have found her. It didn't matter if she said anything or not.

After the second donkey rushed down the well and yelled, he ran out to yell again, and soon Kong Kai heard footsteps.

"Qiqi?" Lu Xiangbei's voice came from the mouth of the well.

Kong Qi was fine when she didn't hear his voice, but now when she heard his voice, she burst into tears.

Her head hurt like hell, but she didn't care, she just kept crying.

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming." Lu Xiangbei selected a boulder at a stable place, tied a rope to it, and grabbed the rope and slid into the well.

"It hurts." Kong Qi cried out the pain.

"Put this on, and you'll be fine in a while." Lu Xiangbei took out the healing bracelet.

Kong Qi took it and put it on the immobile hand.

"I'm thirsty." Her voice was hoarse, and she spoke like an old witch.

Lu Xiangbei untied the water bottle, the space in the well was narrow, he couldn't squat down, and he didn't dare to put his foot down for fear of stepping on her.

Kong Qi took the kettle with the lid off, took a few sips of water to quench her thirst, and then moistened her throat with small sips.

"Lu Xiangbei, have you found her?" Ma Jun's voice appeared at the mouth of the well.

"I found it. I'll take her up after a while. Let her drink some water and eat something."

"Okay, okay, drink slowly and eat more."

Lu Xiangbei took out the steamed buns that were still warm, and Kong Qi took them and took two bites. The steamed buns were filled with pickles, crispy and salty.
