Chapter 168 is almost overflowing.
After hearing what Su Xuan said, Lu Yize understood why Jiang Yue would rather go crazy alone in the basement than appear in front of him.
"Is her basement still there?" Lu Yize asked.
Jiang Yue was very sensitive to the words "basement," and she didn't know why, but she also stared intently at Su Xuan.
Su Xuan never imagined that one day she would be talking to her daughter's spy about that basement that didn't look quite normal.
She forced herself to answer, "It's still there. Her father actually loves his daughter and knows she cares about those things, so before he left, he took all the things with him and built a replica of it in the place where they live now."
“After it was finished, we didn’t go in again. Before, only Jiang Yue went to that basement. It was her private space, and she slept there every night.”
"Every night?"
Lu Yize grasped the key point and looked at Jiang Yue beside him when he said those two words.
Su Xuan choked. So Lu Yize didn't know about this?
She looked at the clueless Jiang Yue with an embarrassed expression, feeling very sorry for revealing her daughter's secrets.
She didn't answer, but Lu Yize already had his answer.
So back then, Jiang Yue secretly dealt with his troubles behind his back and secretly collected the odds and ends he had left behind.
Lu Yize didn't want to find out the details from others. He preferred to wait until Jiang Yue regained her memory and then interrogate her little by little, which he thought would be more interesting.
Lu Yize withdrew his gaze and looked at Su Xuan again, "One last question, why did Jiang Yue know how to attack zombies before the apocalypse?"
Su Xuan's unusual silence was actually the root cause of her falling out with her husband.
No one made a sound inside; for a moment, it was so quiet that the noise outside could be heard clearly.
It wasn't until much later that Su Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Jiang Yue's father and I are both researchers, but compared to him, I am obviously much more mediocre. He started his research after accidentally discovering changes in human genes."
"In the end, it was discovered that human genetic changes are inevitable. No, not just in humans, but in all living organisms, genetic changes suddenly intensify."
"He experimented on mice and found that people can be roughly divided into two categories: one type uses a crystal core as the energy source, and the other type uses a special energy core as the basis."
"He used almost all the resources in the laboratory to test Jiang Yue. Her genes determined that she would eventually become a creature with a brain crystal core as its core. So he told her that if a mutation really occurred, there was no need to ensure the safety of the crystal core in her brain."
This explanation does explain why Jiang Yue knows how to attack a zombie's vital points, but Lu Yize sneered after hearing it, "After becoming a zombie, you have no memory, so it's not very useful for him to say it in advance."
Su Xuan shook her head, "No, he was probably among the first batch of people to awaken his superpowers. He awakened a mental superpower."
"He once told Jiang Yue that touching the crystal core would result in death, and that no one should be allowed to touch it under any circumstances. So even if Jiang Yue becomes a zombie, it will remain an order in her heart, and she will not allow anyone to touch her brow."
Lu Yize was taken aback. He had touched Jiang Yue's brow countless times, from initial resistance and hostility to later frowning in dissatisfaction, and now she allowed him to touch her.
With each bit of her memory she regained, her instinct to love Lu Yize deepened.
Lu Yize stared at Jiang Yue, who was now well taken care of, and remembered how Jiang Yue had become disabled, ugly, and unable to speak in order to save him. His heart felt heavy and suffocated.
What kind of feelings did she have when she stayed by his side for a full ten years?
Lu Yize appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was churning with a vast amount of emotion. His boiling flesh and blood were stirred by his thoughts for a long time before finally returning to silence.
"Since he awakened his superpower, why couldn't he protect Jiang Yue?" Lu Yize asked, raising his eyes.
Su Xuan sighed, with a hint of helplessness, "We knew that Lincheng had the most infected people lurking there, so we left with Jiang Yue a long time ago. But after Jiang Yue learned that you had returned to Lincheng, she was worried that something might happen to you, so she rushed back to Lincheng."
It's like the foolishness of knowingly venturing into a dangerous place.
No wonder she kept her secret for so long, but just happened to want to say it at that moment. Jiang Yue probably wanted to take advantage of the opportunity after being rejected to remind him.
Lu Yize recalled the blurry figure he saw before he lost consciousness, and vaguely remembered the voice he heard before he collapsed, but he couldn't make out what she said.
If you can't remember, then don't think about it anymore. Wait until Jiang Yue regains her memory before asking her slowly.
Lu Yize thought of Jiang Yue from his previous life, who became a zombie and was abandoned in this city. She woke up alone in the morgue, fighting for food with a bunch of zombies, and felt nauseous as her memories gradually returned.
Lu Yize closed his eyes, ceasing his deep thought; some things had to be left unsaid.
Having asked all the necessary questions, Lu Yize showed no interest in Jiang Yue's family. He had returned Jiang Yue to her family when she went missing last time. This time, Lu Yize sneered, feeling that he shouldn't have pretended to be magnanimous last time.
Su Xuan's gaze remained fixed on Jiang Yue. Her thoughts were simple: family reunion and finding Jiang Yue. But now she clearly sensed Lu Yize's stance.
They had no intention of returning their daughter to them; they had a domineering mentality that they should take her as their own. But this scoundrel was also trying to appear cultured, and the two of them got a marriage certificate and wore wedding rings.
Even if Jiang Yue were a human, let alone a zombie, she would never refuse. When Jiang Yue first came back as a child, she kept saying that she wanted to be Hanzi's wife.
Terrified, Su Xuan hugged Jiang Yue and cried, thinking she had suffered some inhuman torture. But after the examination, it was found that the child was perfectly fine. With some guidance, she finally understood what had happened.
Before Jiang Yue arrived in the village, she had been frightened for several days. After she finally calmed down, Lu Yize coaxed her, carried her on his back, and played with her. That's why she remembered it so well and kept talking about it.
At first, it was just simple gratitude, but later, with each new encounter, my gaze was gradually drawn to it, and by the time I realized it, I couldn't look away. The deepening feelings were suppressed and distorted.
I like you so much I'm almost drowning in it, but I also blame myself for not being worthy of getting close.
Jiang Yue was jealous of Cui Yingying appearing by Lu Yize's side, but she didn't know how to alleviate her pain.
In the end, she probably went crazy and taught herself tattooing. Then, clutching Lu Yize's school uniform that he had left behind, she kept his phone number on her body.
There was no anesthesia to relieve the pain, and no one knew.
Jiang Yue was using this method to restrain her overflowing emotions, reminding herself that she shouldn't continue to deepen this feeling.
