"But I'm a weird person, and I can't help but think too much."

"For a moment, I thought it was normal that dead people couldn't come back to life."

"In this case, those who died, my friends, my relatives, those who loved me and hated me, should perhaps rest in peace."

"only……"

"However, when I clearly know that there is such an opportunity to make up for all regrets and bring all the dead back to life, how can I still deceive myself?"

"Do I have to watch my parents die? Watch you die?"

The young man's expression darkened and he stopped talking, but I continued talking to myself.

"And I still think that there will be a way to have the best of both worlds in the end."

"There must be a perfect wish."

In a trance, as if a blessing came to my mind, I whispered to myself.

"I'll take that rabbit and go over the top of the mountain."

Chapter 180 A brief dispute

After I spoke, the room fell silent. They looked at each other. It seemed that they had a lot of questions, but they didn't ask any of them.

Sure enough, this story is a bit too outrageous.

In this silence, Ajie suddenly sighed, his eyes with complicated feelings fell on my face, and he spoke softly.

"I believe you, but I can't make others believe you too."

"After all, your story is a little too outrageous."

"Do you have any way to prove that this story is true?"

I thought about it seriously, then shook my head slightly and said to Ajie.

"Apart from my immortality, there doesn't seem to be any other evidence."

Ajie frowned, as if he felt that immortality alone was not enough to prove that outrageous story. He touched his chin, pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up with a burning gaze and asked me tentatively.

"In the story you told, your blood can turn zombies back into humans."

"If this can be proven, then the authenticity of this story will be more convincing."

I was stunned for a moment, and then it suddenly dawned on me that in this doomsday, the thing people fear the most and are most wary of is always the zombies that swarm in like a sea.

Zombies have always been the things that everyone fears the most. In their minds, this horrible thing destroyed our civilized era and it is impossible for it to turn back into human beings.

If I transform zombies into humans in front of everyone, my words will indeed be more convincing.

Thinking of this, I looked up at Ajie, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice.

"I can do it, provided we capture some zombies first."

Hearing this, Ajie's frown relaxed, he sat up straight, and asked me in a negotiating tone.

"According to what you said, our enemy is the plant that calls itself Epiphyllum. It can parasitize living organisms and then slowly control them."

"Just like controlling Gao Lian and Li Yi, when they absorb enough energy, they will have a clear consciousness and control the epiphyllums of an area."

Ajie's eyes narrowed, a hint of solemnity flashed across his brows, and then he continued.

"I have a guess. Since they have a main body, then all preparations are made for the main body."

"You said that a huge flower plant has grown in the center of the city, and the buds are still small, so it may need energy to support its own growth."

"So, those epiphyllums that have developed self-awareness will look for nutrients and energy everywhere, expand their numbers, and then return to the main body and supply all their energy to the main body to allow it to grow."

"With the supply of energy, that giant Epiphyllum will grow bigger and bigger. When it finally blooms, we may be doomed."

Ajie spoke very seriously, he really believed what I said, and under his influence, others seemed to have less doubts about this matter.

It’s great that I’m not alone.

"The situation is getting serious. The number of Epiphyllums will increase. We are really weak if we rely on only the people in our base."

"Su Li, do you have any ideas?"

Hearing this, I answered without thinking.

"Unite with other bases. We need to contact other bases and let them know the current situation."

"This is a catastrophe. We cannot allow the remaining humans to remain scattered."

Ajie nodded in agreement, but obviously still had other concerns, and sighed.

"The problem is that the people in those strongholds may not necessarily listen to us. What should we do if they don't cooperate with us?"

"Moreover, the people in some strongholds have been brainwashed too deeply. I'm afraid it will take some time for them to return to normal."

As soon as Ajie finished speaking, I replied coldly.

"Then kill them all, leaving no one behind."

Hearing this, Ajie looked up in surprise and looked at me with an expression of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that such words would come out of my mouth.

I didn't notice this immediately and continued talking.

"Time is running out. If they don't want to cooperate with us, they may be controlled by Epiphyllum."

"In that case, let's kill them all and not give Epiphyllum any chance."

Ajie's eyes flickered and he couldn't help but interrupt and ask.

"Will you... massacre the city?"

I answered without any hesitation.

"If necessary, I will do that."

Ajie stood up suddenly, took a step forward, his face turned pale, and he looked down at me who was still soaking in the bucket, and said angrily.

"Are you crazy!?"

My expression remained unchanged. Facing Ajie's questioning eyes, I just spoke calmly.

"As long as we can win, we can change all the tragedies."

"Those who died because of us, those we killed, will come back to life."

"You have to understand that at this time, the concepts of life and death are not so clear-cut."

"As long as we can win, everything can be saved."

Hearing this, Ajie's expression became even uglier. He looked at me viciously and asked coldly.

"What if I stop you, will you kill me too?"

I frowned, tried to make my voice gentler, and spoke softly.

"I said, as long as you can make a wish, all the dead people can come back to life."

"The gentle approach we used in the past is no longer feasible. We no longer have that much time."

"You understand, Ajie."

Hearing this, Ajie's expression relaxed. He sat back in his seat, rubbed his forehead hard with both hands, then raised his head and spoke softly.

"You now remind me of someone."

"You are becoming more and more like Qu Yunliu."

As sick as he is?

I didn't say anything in rebuttal, but my hands, which were soaking in the wooden barrel, clenched tightly, while Ajie stood up and walked away.

The meeting ended in a bad mood. After everyone left, I walked out of the barrel, put on my clothes, and then lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling with a dull expression.

Human life is not a simple numerical value, I naturally understand this, and I also know that what I said before was indeed not like that of a good person.

But we really have no other choice. Time is running out. Instead of wasting time on people who refuse to cooperate, we might as well prevent Epiphyllum from controlling other strongholds.

I still remember that nightmare and the scenes in it vividly. In the dream, the blooming Epiphyllum that covered the entire city was a constant reminder to me.

I understand better than anyone that the speed at which those ephemeral flowers expand does not require any reason or hindrance. If we waste too much time on those strongholds like the Reformed Church, we will only die faster.

Although it is a bit cruel and ruthless, we really don’t have time, as we did in the past, to allow those brainwashed people to slowly assimilate and wake up.

I think it’s not that I have changed, but that damn wish has made the concepts of life and death become blurred and no longer so clear-cut.

Life and death, the entire planet's life depends on one wish.

In such a morbid condition, everyone will suddenly feel that life becomes insignificant, just a card that can be flipped at will.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a sudden knock on the door. Before I could say anything, the person knocking pushed the door open. I sat up and looked towards the door. As expected, it was Ajie.

At this time, the sky had become dark, and Ajie seemed to have calmed down. He stood at the door with a natural expression, raised his eyebrows, and asked me.

"Go for a walk?"

I rolled my eyes, turned and walked into the house, speaking softly.

"It's so cold, let's talk inside."

Ajie hesitated for a moment, then walked into the room, closed the door, and sat down at the table with me.

As their eyes met, Ajie tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and after thinking for a long time, he asked in a low voice.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

Hearing this, I thought about it again and again, but I could only smile gently and slowly said to Ajie.

"I am a person with a poor tongue, and I can't make sense."

"I can only tell you that our old methods are no longer working."

"We don't have the time we once had to spend a month, a year, to convert those who are lost."

"If we lose, we'll all die."

Ajie did not show an angry look like he did during the day. Instead, he sighed with a complicated expression and nodded slightly.

"After I left during the day, I thought about it for a long time, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that you were right."

"But I just think this kind of behavior should not be done."

Ajie leaned back, his eyes were lonely, and he spoke softly.

"Then I realized that I was worried."

"After hearing your story, I didn't notice it, but I still have some concerns."

Ajie had no intention of hiding anything and spoke to me very frankly.

"I'm concerned about your relationship with Tongtong and the feelings between you two."

"Do you doubt that you can really make the right decision?"

"So, I subconsciously felt at that time that you were venting your anger from the breakup with that Tongtong on those innocent people."

"Feel sorry."

I listened quietly with a smile on my face. Ajie has always been a straightforward person, rough but meticulous. I really like his style.

"Don't be so hypocritical. Just say whatever you want to say."

Hearing this, Ajie sat up straight, looked serious, and spoke softly to him.

"Although I apologized to you, I still think that method was too extreme."

"We should still have to make contact with them and try it before using that method."

I smacked my lips and spoke briefly.

"what do you mean……"

"Be a human first, then an animal?"

"..."

Ajie was so angry with me that his nose and eyes were no longer eyes. He spoke to me angrily.

"If you can't speak, shut up."
