Just like taking a nap at noon, when I regained consciousness again, it felt like only ten minutes had passed.
I opened my eyes to find myself lying on a single bed in another room, with an IV drip in my left hand.
There was no one around, and I wondered where everyone had gone, especially why Fu Yue wasn't by my side. Suddenly, a hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and a large group of medical staff rushed in and surrounded me.
"He's awake! Quick, bring him over!"
The medical staff asked me excitedly if I was feeling okay, then shouted anxiously. They dispersed to make way, waiting for the reunion with my loved one.
Finally, a figure appeared slowly.
The person who appeared after being summoned by everyone was the disheveled and unkempt Xiao Xian, with a faint blue color in his eyes telling of his exhaustion.
Me: "What are you doing? This path isn't for you to walk on, is it?"
Yes, appearing under the call of everyone was Xiao Xian, disheveled and disheveled, looking at me with a sad, angry, and aggrieved expression.
I panicked and doubted if I had done something outrageous while unconscious.
Xiao Xian looked at me with teary eyes, his gaze containing both tolerance and anticipation: "Do you remember who I am?"
"Brother, are you really okay... Aren't you Xiao Xian?"
Upon hearing my answer, Xiao Xian's eyes lit up, as if a person trapped in a deep abyss had seen hope again. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, mumbled in his mouth, and tentatively spoke under the urging of the crowd:
"...Mom?"
I was completely shocked, as if the Great Rift Valley in East Africa had split open.
"Are you crazy! What kind of new prank is this? Where is Fu Yue, get Fu Yue here." I couldn't help but shout again, pointing at Xiao Xian with my finger, "Don't come closer, back off, back off!"
Unlike my panic, after a brief silence, everyone erupted into loud cheers.
People scattered, and I finally saw Fu Yue, who had been standing behind the crowd with red-rimmed eyes.
He rushed over in one stride and hugged me tightly, and I actually heard his deep sobbing, while Xiao Xian beside him let out a sigh of relief.
"Waaah! You're finally back to normal! Waaah!"
I was still completely confused, and the kind-hearted medical staff next to me explained the reason for the situation.
It turns out this wasn't the first time I had regained consciousness.
The experiment was conducted three times in total, with the drugs injected into my brain battling fiercely with the zombie virus, resulting in mental confusion during my first two awakenings.
The first time, I mistook Fu Yue for my deceased father, Xiao Xian as my 8-year-old son, and myself as a single mother abandoned by a heartless man.
The second time I woke up, the first person I saw was Fu Yue, and I successfully recognized him.
People thought I was back to normal, and when the experiment finally succeeded, I suddenly turned my head and affectionately called out "good son" to Xiao Xian who was smiling.
Yes, the second attempt also failed. In my consciousness, Fu Yue and I were a long-married couple, and Xiao Xian was our only son born after many hardships.
It's a topsy-turvy world, Xiao Xian is always miserable, wandering around in his son's circle.
The doctor at the research institute cryptically reminded Fu Yue that if the drugs continued to be administered, there could be severe damage to the brain, and clear consciousness might never be restored, so the experiment was suspended.
After extracting a tube of my blood, the researchers began other studies.
Everyone thought my consciousness would never wake up again, but three weeks after the second experiment, I suddenly fell into a coma.
When I was brought to the research institute, it was discovered that my body functions were rapidly deteriorating, so Fu Yue had no choice but to choose a third experiment. After the experiment, I didn't wake up after a week as usual.
This sleep lasted for a year.
Fu Yue buried his head in my neck, rubbing it pitifully, crying softly, "You treated yourself as Xiao Xian's mom, having to coax him to sleep every night, and when I disapproved, you scolded me, saying I was a irresponsible man. Waaah..."
I hugged Fu Yue tenderly, patting his back gently, comforting him softly, "I'm sorry, my dear... I won't scold you anymore in the future, and I won't treat myself like this either."
Xiao Xian was moved, but also puzzled: "...Why does this sound so awkward to me?"
"Hahaha—" Fu Yue and I finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, looking at Xiao Xian together with a heavy gratitude in our eyes, "Thank you so much, Xiao Xian! Thank you—"
The apocalypse is not scary, because the world is full of love.
Protection zones were gradually established in cities across the country, and human society restored normal civilization inside, with everyone working diligently and living earnestly.
Research institutes across the country, led by the central government, worked day and night to conduct experiments, developing drugs to conquer the zombie virus. Everyone's hearts were filled with hope because a miracle had already happened.
I am that miracle.
