Even If It's a God, I'll Kill It for You!

After breakfast, while the two were washing the dishes together, Ye Wanqing finally spoke, "Old Xiao, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Yes," Xiao He replied casually while washing the dishes. "Sister Man said you caught a new type of Flu that's incurable and will keep bothering you. When your immune system weakens, you'll get sick and feverish like yesterday. Sister Man suspects this Flu is Mutant, so I'm planning to get rid of it."

Xiao He tried to speak about this in a light tone so that Ye Wanqing wouldn't sense his worry.

"The Flu? Or Mutant?" Ye Wanqing frowned immediately. "It'll be very dangerous, won't it? Sister Man told me before that the Flu is probably the closest thing to a perfect virus in the world, and it's very difficult to deal with!"

"Hey, what's the big deal? A virus with such a high mortality rate is just a matter of ten minutes for me, isn't it?" Xiao He said casually. "I should be able to defeat this Flu very soon too."

After a moment of silence, Ye Wanqing asked, dissatisfied, "Isn't there any other way?"

"I don't know. Sister Man she'll come to find us as soon as possible. Maybe there's another way." Xiao He shrugged. "Until then, why don't you rest at home for a few days? Take good care of my food and drink, and it'll be easier to beat the Flu then."

Ye Wanqing was silent for a while, and unusually, she didn't argue with him. "Alright then."

Ye Wanqing was unusually obedient this time, staying at home quietly, and the two of them watched the Big Bang Theory together.

"Old Xiao," Ye Wanqing suddenly called out to him, "If I keep getting this Flu, what will happen in the end? I'll just sneeze occasionally, right?"

"No one can know for sure," Xiao He shrugged. "This AME Influenza is Mutant; we don't even know what abilities it has."

Ye Wanqing fell silent, hugging her legs and deep in thought.

"Anyway, don't worry about that for now, okay?" Xiao He patted her head. "We'll talk about it when Sister Man arrives."

"Hmm..." Ye Wanqing nodded gently and continued watching the show with him. But even a hilarious masterpiece couldn't make the two people, each with their own worries, laugh out loud. Seeing Ye Wanqing like this, Xiao He felt he should comfort her.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Xiao He patted her head.

"You're the one I'm worried about, you idiot..." Ye Wanqing thought to herself, burying her face in the cushion, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

After thinking it over, Ye Wanqing felt that all she could do now was to make sure Xiao He ate and drank well, and ensure he was full of energy and healthy enough to fight this battle.

"What would you like to eat for lunch?" Ye Wanqing asked.

"Actually, I really want to eat fried noodles..." Xiao He swallowed and said, "The fried noodles you made before, with bean sprouts, chives, beef, and eggs, were especially delicious."

"Okay, I'll eat that." Ye Wanqing nodded. "And make some mung bean soup too."

"Very good." Xiao He nodded in satisfaction, and Ye Wanqing then stood up. "Then I'll go and make some mung bean soup."

However, just as Ye Wanqing was preparing the ingredients for the fried noodles, Cui Man knocked on their door.

After entering the room, Cui Man looked at Ye Wanqing with a complicated expression, a mixture of heartache, sympathy, and helplessness.

"Xiao He has already told you the general situation, right?" Cui Man replied. Ye Wanqing nodded gently. "It's alright, it's just a cold for life, it's not a big deal."

"Sister Man, don't you need to take any protective measures?" Xiao He frowned when he saw that Cui Man wasn't wearing a mask.

"It's too late." Cui Man shook her head, then explained to Ye Wanqing, "But it has nothing to do with you. Everyone has already caught a cold, so it's impossible to determine who infected whom."

"Are there any other solutions?" Ye Wanqing asked, frowning. "Could we use Old Xiao's blood sample?"

Cui Man shook her head. "We've already tried, the Miracle Factor was defeated by the AME Influenza because the concentration wasn't high enough."

"The Miracle Factor is..." Ye Wanqing was stunned. Cui Man sighed, "I know... it's unbelievable. But we can now confirm that it is a 'Mutant'."

"How so?" Xiao He asked curiously.

Cui Man said helplessly, "Based on our research over the past few days, we've discovered that besides its exceptionally strong Superpower, it also possesses a kind of 'coordination,' meaning that changes in an individual can affect the entire group."

As she spoke, Cui Man pointed to Ye Wanqing: "For example, if it acquires a new mutation within Wanqing's body that allows it to bypass your immune system's checks, then all its other individuals will also develop this mutation, giving it this characteristic. This ability is something ordinary viruses cannot possess; it's merely a 'Superpower'."

Cui Man turned to Xiao He: "Some Mutant's abilities manifest in two ways. The first is the enhancement of their physical attributes, and the second is their Superpower. Just like you and Jin Shaokang, you both gained additional Superpower on the premise of enhanced physical attributes. The AME Influenza is the same. It is more prone to mutation and harder to eradicate than other viruses. In addition, it has the Superpower to share evolutionary information, which is why it can form this phenomenon of being 'forever incurable'."

"But," Xiao He immediately interjected, "This characteristic is also its weakness, isn't it? All of its individuals are interconnected, so if I can defeat it within my body, wouldn't all the viruses within everyone else die?"

"I think it's possible." Cui Man nodded. "Even if this method doesn't work, we can still identify the structure of the AME Influenza by examining its final form in your body, create a vaccine, and study its treatment."

"Let's go then, we'll take care of this 'Lin Tiannan'." Xiao He laughed heartily, rolling up his sleeves with fighting spirit.

"What if Old Xiao can't overcome this Flu? He'll probably just catch a cold, right?" Ye Wanqing asked.

Cui Man didn't reply, clearly unsure of the consequences.

"Let's do it this way," Xiao He nodded to Cui Man and said, "Let's start today. How?"

"I need to think about it," Ye Wanqing said, frowning unhappily.

"Why should I consider it?" Xiao He asked, puzzled. "You just need to change your name; leave the rest to me."

"This guy is so annoying! Do I really have to say something like 'I'm worried about you!'?" Ye Wanqing thought to herself, glaring angrily at Xiao He. Then she said irritably, "If something happens to you, it'll be like I'm an accomplice!"

This woman is so annoying! Do I really have to say something like, "I want to cure you!"? Xiao He was also annoyed and retorted, "I won't blame you! I'll take responsibility for whatever happens!"

"How could you say such a thing?!" Ye Wanqing said angrily, "You may not blame me, but I will feel guilty!"

"Oh, alright..." Cui Man sighed from the side, "Let's talk it out calmly, don't fight."

Xiao He slammed his hand on the coffee table, then walked up to Ye Wanqing, startling her so much that Ye Wanqing took a step back on the sofa. Xiao He simply grabbed her shoulder, his expression resolute and unwavering. "Trust me."

"You..." Ye Wanqing was speechless for a moment. This was the first time she had seen Xiao He so serious.

Xiao He's expression was firm and resolute. "As long as its name is Lin Tiannan, I'll kill it even if it's a god!"

"What? All he does is show off..." Ye Wanqing frowned, thinking to herself, avoiding his gaze, and simply nodded slightly. "I understand..."
