Waji Mountain Tribe, the season of sowing. The Waji Mountain People were busy in the wilderness, planting seeds into the ground. Under the nurturing rain and dew, patches of green soon replaced the previous gray-brown landscape.
After half a month of recovery, Saint Mother sighed. The Gil she had protected with all her strength had returned, but Saint had unexpectedly vanished. Perhaps he did not belong to this place, nor to Jill...
Jill and Amayi had once been influenced by Xiao Qiang. They taught all the children of the Waji Mountain People how to write their names. In practice, Jill eventually became the first renowned tailor among the Waji Mountain People, while Amayi became their leader.
He led his people in farming and planting, no longer hunting Mammoths. That Toothy Divine Beast had not been seen since Saint disappeared.
They could not forget the one who brought them civilization and granted them the freedom to live.
After a terrifying sensation of falling, there came a deep sleep filled with tranquility. When Xiao Qiang awoke, he felt something strange; he was lying on a large bed. The room exuded warmth, with a balcony, flowers, and floor-to-ceiling curtains.
On the wall hung an enlarged wedding photo that seemed a bit exaggerated. The man in the photo was unmistakably Xiao Qiang, but the woman... was Lin Yu? She looked like a delicate bird, her smile slightly exaggerated yet radiating happiness like a queen in a castle, nestled in his embrace.
When did they get married? Xiao Qiang's mind was a muddle; he couldn't recall. He remembered nothing that connected to what he saw after falling into the Desert Vortex.
Dazed, he noticed neatly folded clothes on the bedside table. He picked up an outfit and found it fit him perfectly as if tailored just for him. Stepping out of the room, he found everything inside was spotless and quiet...
Feeling quite hungry, he mechanically walked into the living room and opened the refrigerator without much thought; surely there would be something to eat. As he thought this, he pulled open the fridge door and paused in surprise!
Inside was a large box containing something. Xiao Qiang picked up one item and rolled it between his fingers for a closer look. It was a vial containing blue liquid, resembling something like an oral solution; the liquid appeared transparent and seemed very drinkable.
However, he did not drink it but instead returned it to the box untouched. He grabbed a piece of fruit from the top shelf and casually took a bite. The fruit tasted rather bland and unremarkable.
He plopped down on the sofa, staring blankly at the television.
Ding ding ding~ Ding ding ding! Startled by the ringing phone, he instinctively picked it up and held it to his ear. He remained silent, listening intently.
"Hello! Darling, are you there?"
It was a pleasant woman's voice—familiar yet strange to Xiao Qiang.
"Yes." He could only respond this way, wanting to know who the other person was at that moment.
"Xiao Qiang, the weather is decent today. You might as well try opening the window a bit to soak up some sun."
"You... are Lin Yu?"
"… Yes, what's wrong with you?" Lin Yu asked, sounding somewhat puzzled.
"Nothing." Xiao Qiang frowned, his fingers instinctively pressing against the textured cushion of the sofa. Rolling up his sleeves to look at his arms, JD1-XQ, everything seemed unchanged. What exactly had gone wrong? Or was he dreaming? He thought about going back to bed; perhaps waking up would find him in another place.
With that thought, he returned to the room he had just gotten up from and lay down stiffly, closing his eyes.
The room was quiet, and he could hear his own breathing. After tossing and turning for a long time without being able to sleep, he got up and kept thinking about Jill, Wapu, Amayi. These people in his memory felt very close, as if they had just walked away from him moments ago.
What did Lin Yu mean by not letting him go out? Xiao Qiang pondered aimlessly. He wandered into the bathroom and looked at himself in the Mirror, slightly haggard with stubble covering his chin.
Was it because he hadn't slept well? He picked up a razor, lathered it with soap, and after cleaning his face, he looked much more refreshed.
Relying on his memory, he wanted to find some evidence related to everything before him and walked into the study. Neatly arranged books filled the entire bookshelf, covering various topics: philosophy, humanistic interpretation, and blood analysis theory. Finally, his gaze settled on the book titled Virus Gene Evolution Theory, and he casually picked it up to flip through its pages.
The text explained: Proteins can inhibit and suppress the spread of gene viruses while also prolonging the antibodies of beneficial bacteria and viral bacteria.
He set the book down and aimlessly wandered around the room. His stomach still felt very hungry, yet he had no desire for food. He walked back to the refrigerator and opened its door.
Searching layer by layer, at the very bottom of a specially controlled compartment, he found a bottle of dark liquid. Xiao Qiang picked it up and unconsciously twisted off the cap, bringing it to his nose to sniff; it had a sweet and cloying scent.
Lin Yu worked at the hospital; she had volunteered herself for this job. With her outstanding performance, she often received recognition and attention from colleagues. She was promoted quickly and had already become an excellent physician. After sending off the last patient, she anxiously awaited her shift's end; afterward, she still needed to buy Gene Protein at a high price.
The hospital's research project revolved around Gene Protein. As long as they succeeded in their research, the producers would begin mass production of Gene Protein to suppress viral spread.
Since coming here, Lin Yu had met a female horror writer who sympathized with her. The writer often visited them both, especially during Xiao Qiang's comatose phase.
She would never forget the scene when Xiao Qiang's virus outbreak was sent back to 2050 by the time machine. At that time, including Matt, no one knew what caused the virus in him to suddenly erupt during the Ancient Times cycle.
This was an invisible virus of incubation period, and it was said that there were many people infected with this type of virus in various cities. She had to take Xiao Qiang away from Matt, far from their experiments, torment, and endless suffering inflicted upon him.
Lin Yu did not know when Xiao Qiang had contracted the virus—was it from the Skeleton Mutant? Or was it during the encounter with the Abnormal Humanoid in Zone A5? Or perhaps it was back in 2038?
Now she did not have much time to verify the truth; she needed to find a way to suppress the spread of the virus within him. To others, Xiao Qiang seemed like a perfectly normal good person, but who could know that a super-evolved mutated gene virus was thriving inside him?
Once he lost control and without the injection of Gene Protein, what would Xiao Qiang become? Lin Yu dared not imagine what he would look like after his mutation and evolution.
At the counter, a sexy nurse was busy at work. Lin Yu found her after her shift, and they exchanged knowing nods before she cautiously took out a roll of cash and handed it over.
"How many?"
"Fifty doses, enough for more than a month."
"Alright, thank you." Lin Yu took the box quickly and stuffed it into her bag before slipping away.
