"Doctor..."
"Chichu Chun?"
Xu Xiaoyou murmured subconsciously. Finally, she recognized the frail little girl and let go of her hand.
The other person she had seen in the lab was Xiaoli,
After being released, Xia Li wasn’t scared but instead worriedly approached to check on Xu Xiaoyou, holding her hand: "Doctor, are you okay?"
At this mont, several companions rushed over from not far away, one of whom, wearing a Night Owl mask, gripped a water pipe, cautiously approaching: "This guy, this guy is infected!"
The older sister with the Owl mask quickly pulled Xia Li away: "Stay away from her, have you forgotten who caused us to beco like this?"
"Have you forgotten John and the others who beca monsters?"
"It’s all this guy’s fault!"
"The Doctor, the Doctor is just trying to save everyone." Xia Li’s voice was barely audible, as if it could be interrupted with just a stern word.
"Do you think those people are any good?"
"They just want to use us, they never cared about our feelings!"
"Redemption is brought by the sacrificed, people cheer for the redemption brought by the sacrificed, but no one is ever grateful to the sacrificial ones who bring redemption!"
"Moreover, this disaster was entirely orchestrated by this guy!"
Xia Li, with a trembling voice, cried: "But I can’t just watch the Doctor die."
The Owl held Xia Li’s face, earnestly looking into the little girl’s eyes:
"We are your family, Xiaoli, listen carefully, only we care about your feelings, give you concern, as long as we are by your side, ho is still there, we will overco all difficulties, to reach a warm place where flowers can bloom."
"Don’t you want to see flowers bloom on the ruins, we will go see that together."
"This guy is just trouble, a plague, why take her along?" Night Owl spoke discontentedly.
"Night Owl!" The always silent Sparrow lowered his voice to remind.
"Plague..." Xia Li softly muttered the word, "What is... a plague?"
"It’s soone who brings misfortune to people around them again and again!" Night Owl coldly looked at the little girl with dark red hair.
"People who get close to a plague will get hurt."
"Night Owl, don’t say such things!" Owl turned back and glared at Night Owl.
"Am I a plague...?" Xia Li’s voice was tiny, Owl shook her head and hugged her.
"You are not a plague, we are not a plague, we are family, a family with the sa tragic experiences, advancing toward the sa goal."
"Family?" Xia Li repeated the word, trying to understand its aning.
"Don’t listen to them, Chun, don’t eat the sugar-coated poison they’re feeding you, they’re deceiving you." Xu Xiaoyou spoke in a normal tone.
"What are you talking about?"
"Doctor?"
"Through the front pipes, then forward is the aristocrat’s carriage, they want to take you to the people of the Tredy Clan, to exchange for their own life."
"Because you’re the only one with fully immune antibodies, the clan needs you, they want to be the first to develop vaccines and serums, to control everyone on the train."
"Co to , I will take you back." Xu Xiaoyou said.
Upon hearing this, Xia Li looked up in disbelief, clearly seeing the fleeting hesitation in her companions’ eyes.
Having long endured the pain of experints, living in lies and deceit, Xia Li suffered from severe borderline personality disorder from a young age, acutely lacking a sense of belonging and security.
For her, any bit of distrust was intolerable, even if it ca from her closest family and companions.
"You scoundrel." Owl’s eyes burned with anger.
"I’m just stating facts." Xu Xiaoyou leaned against the wall, forcing herself to stand, placing her hands on Xia Li’s bony shoulders, her enticing voice echoing like poison in the little girl’s ears.
"Look at their wavering eyes, think carefully, am I wrong?"
Xia Li tilted her head and asked: "Big Sister, is what the Doctor said... true?"
"Don’t listen to her nonsense, take Xiaoli away from that madwoman, move!" Owl shouted.
Sparrow and Night Owl, holding tal pipes or sharpened iron rods, approached but stopped under the threatening gaze of the blonde girl; in those calm and beautiful eyes, they saw a lurking viper, coiled on a tempting red apple, its high head flicking its tongue.
"Just earlier they called you a plague and said they wanted to abandon you, but now they’re willing to drag the team into trouble because of you, don’t you find that hypocritical?"
Xu Xiaoyou lifted Xia Li’s face from behind,
"Now, you are the plague."
