"At that time, I was preparing dinner when a strange hunting dog suddenly rushed over and bit my brother."
"Although we had weapons with us and managed to kill the hunting dog, it quickly regenerated."
Moreover, it has a very strong learning ability and an extremely high IQ.
At first, we all thought it was just an ordinary ' Beast King ' level Variant. Although it had the ability to regenerate, it could be burned to death with fire.
We were all too careless at the time, mistakenly thinking that it had been burned to death, but we never expected that its severed head could regenerate independently.
He then ambushed me, and they had to fight against the [ HeLa Cell ] while protecting me, which ultimately led to their total annihilation.
"My brother also held off the [ HeLa Cell ] to protect me, allowing me to escape."
"Finally, I was forced to the edge of a cliff, where I was severely injured by [ HeLa Cell ] and fell off the cliff."
Keke listened to Han Xiaoxiao's tragic story and opened her mouth to comfort her, but didn't know what to say.
"Fortunately, I didn't die. There was a river below the cliff. The plot is quite cliché. I was rescued by someone who gave me some basic first aid and then took me to a hospital in another city two days later."
Later, the Night Star people came and asked me some questions about [ HeLa Cell ], and also told me that [ HeLa Cell ] were dead.
Han Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled, but it wasn't a happy smile; instead, it was somewhat desolate.
"After I learned of its death, I even considered committing suicide to join my brother, but I didn't do it. Instead, I chose to join the Night Star."
"But, but I don't think what you're doing is right. If your brother were still alive, he certainly wouldn't..."
"Whatever!" Keke was interrupted by Han Xiaoxiao before she could finish speaking.
"My brother is dead! All I want now is for all the Variant in this world to be buried with him. I don't care about protecting others at all!" Han Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, her words revealing boundless hatred.
Keke was speechless for a moment, her eyes filled with heartache.
Ye Yiqing looked at Han Xiaoxiao's resentful expression, his eyes shifting between her and Hela with some worry.
Han Xiaoxiao noticed Ye Yiqing's gaze, took a deep breath, and then slowly curved her lips into a smile that should have been quite cute, completely concealing her previous hatred and pain.
"Don't worry, [ HeLa Cell ] are [ HeLa Cell ] Hela is Hela. Hela just has a symbiotic relationship with them. I won't transfer this hatred to Hela."
Okay, I'm sorry for making you worry after telling you so much.
What should we do next?
For some reason, after Hela heard that Han Xiaoxiao wouldn't blame her, that strange feeling in her heart surged up again, and it was more intense than the previous ones.
But Hela's appearance remained unchanged, showing no signs of anything amiss.
Ye Yiqing nodded, and then began to recount her experiences.
"After I woke up, the first thing I did was find my brother and discuss our current situation with him and make a plan."
Finally, we decided to split up and expand our search area so that we could make new discoveries more quickly.
"Then before I left, I asked my younger brother to use his abilities to create a bone knife for me." Ye Yiqing chuckled self-deprecatingly as he said this.
"After all, I don't have any special abilities. If I don't even have a knife, then I'm really just an ordinary person."
Then he looked at the bone knife beside him, which was now only half intact, and shook his head helplessly. "However, I've ruined the knife like this now."
Why...
It's all because my knife skills aren't good enough.
" Ye Yiqing, you, you shouldn't say that. It's not your fault. After all, the situation was already very serious at the time," Keke comforted her, still recovering from Han Xiaoxiao's words.
But suddenly, she seemed to realize something. "Were you with your brother when you woke up?"
Ye Yiqing shook her head. "No, I woke up alone, just like you."
"Then how did you find your brother? And how did you make sure you could find each other after you split up?" Keke felt like her brain wasn't working properly.
Hearing this, Ye Yiqing smiled and said, "There are always some inexplicable bonds between brothers."
This can probably be explained like this.
Keke nodded as if she understood, but even Han Xiaoxiao was a little confused. This explanation was too far-fetched.
However, Han Xiaoxiao did not delve into it, after all, everyone has their own secrets.
"Alright, is there anything else?" Ye Yiqing asked the group.
"Uh, yes..." Keke slowly raised her hand.
"What's wrong? Is there something you want to ask?" Ye Yiqing asked gently.
"Hmm... I'm hungry." Keke rubbed her rumbling stomach and said, her face flushed.
"That's true, after all this time, we haven't even had a bite to eat yet." Ye Yiqing sat up and looked around.
By this time, the surrounding mist had completely dissipated, and the setting sun had bathed the lush green grass in a golden hue.
"It's getting late. If we set off now, we could easily encounter danger at night."
So how about we spend the night here?
"I'll figure out a way to solve the food problem tomorrow. I'll leave you tonight." Ye Yiqing's eyes showed a hint of apology.
"It's okay, I'm not very hungry. I can manage for another night." Han Xiaoxiao shook her head nonchalantly.
Keke was on the verge of tears, but not wanting to trouble Ye Yiqing, he could only lie and say, "No problem."
"I'm not hungry," Hela said.
"Alright, then we'll spend the night here. I'll go start a fire."
Ye Yiqing then went to find some firewood. Han Xiaoxiao wanted to help along the way, but Ye Yiqing politely declined, saying that Han Xiaoxiao should just rest.
Half an hour later, Ye Yiqing brought out large handfuls of firewood and placed them here.
Then he began to learn how to start a fire by rubbing two wooden sticks together, and Han Xiaoxiao sat next to him, watching him intently.
"I'm so hungry..." Keke lay weakly on the ground, as if all her energy had been drained away.
She glanced up at Ye Yiqing, who was still tending the fire, then nestled her head into Hela's arms. "Sister Hela, I feel like I'm starving to death, what should I do...?"
Keke kept complaining to Hela, while Hela seemed lost in thought.
He then got up and walked to Ye Yiqing's side.
"What's wrong?" Ye Yiqing stopped what he was doing and looked at Hela.
"Can I borrow your knife?" Hela reached out and asked Ye Yiqing for the knife.
"What do you need a knife for?" Ye Yiqing asked, handing the bone knife to Hela, adding, "Don't hurt yourself."
Hela took the knife, nodded to Ye Yiqing, and then sat back down next to Keke.
" Hela, what are you doing with that knife?" Keke, looking at the knife in Hela's hand with a puzzled expression.
After glancing at Keke, Hela rolled up her sleeves and, without hesitation, slashed at her own forearm with a knife—or rather, sawed it.
"Hey! Hela, what are you doing!" Keke sat up with a start, then tackled Hela to the ground, trying to stop her.
