【November 14th, Daytime】

I saw the current time on a screen in the corner, which I can't describe exactly what it was.

It kept persistently making a buzzing sound.

Until I pressed the green button on top.

【Professor Xu! Where are you? It's been three more days! If we can't find you, more people will die!

【There's no more time to wait! Zhang Xiao's blood type matches the serum, but without your follow-up research, it won't work. No one will forcibly draw her blood against your will!

【She won't be in life-threatening danger! Come back to the base first, and let's do a blood test with a small sample!

【Professor Xu! Professor Xu!】

"Zhang Xiao, hello, I'm Xu Lei, Xu Yang's sister. I came to ask you for a favor. The resistance agent CN-LUTHERAN, developed by me, requires inducing corresponding gene fragments from rare blood types. Xu Yang mentioned your blood type, which happens to be suitable. You..."

"Zhang Xiao! Zhang Xiao! Are you listening to me?"

"Forget it, we'll talk about this later. Your body needs proper recuperation. Let them come pick us up."

"I'll go downstairs to the supermarket first to gather some nutritious things. Wait for me."

...

A certain scene flashed in my mind.

What was I thinking at that time...

'Xu Yang said my blood type is special and that we shouldn't have children in the future in case of any accidents. Nothing is more important than me...'

'But why did he cheat?'

"No, it's not true! It's not true! It's a lie! A lie!"

【Hello! Professor Xu? Hello! Where is Professor Xu? Zhang Xiao? Are you Zhang Xiao?】

"It's all lies!"

【Zhang Xiao? Zhang—buzz—buzz—】

"Are you all lying? Why is there no sound anymore? Quickly say you're lying! Sob, sob, sob—say it quickly—"

I sobbed uncontrollably.

The screen of the communicator continued to flicker.
