An Ning silently looked at the big hands tightly clasping hers.
Clearly it’s one body.
Yet it seems completely different.
She suppressed her inner emotions and finally chose to be direct, "You weren’t dead back then?"
Fu Xingyi nodded, "I wasn’t dead."
An Ning suddenly laughed.
A laugh full of irony.
"Little Ning..." Fu Xingyi watched An Ning’s expression, gently calling to her.
"You weren’t dead, so why did you keep it from ? You know I..." An Ning didn’t want to continue.
The past pains, she didn’t want to bring up again.
But she desperately wanted to know why he hid it from her?!
If he hadn’t hidden it from her.
If she had known he was still alive.
Perhaps she wouldn’t have been bitten by zombies, she wouldn’t have traveled through the book to this place, and she wouldn’t have experienced everything with Xiao Jinxing...
Fu Xingyi watched An Ning’s emotional fluctuations.
He held her hand tighter, "Sorry, back then I was on a secret mission, couldn’t tell anyone, except my ntor, no one else knew I was alive."
"So what did you do?" An Ning asked him.
"Soul exchange experint." Fu Xingyi replied.
An Ning’s eyes slightly moved.
Fu Xingyi explained, "You should know very well, our lab has been researching how to survive in the face of apocalypse extinction."
"I thought you were researching regenerative resources." An Ning couldn’t help saying.
"Yes, those experints too, but the apocalypse environnt makes it hard for life to continue surviving, and as the temperature of the apocalypse atmosphere keeps rising, even with regenerative resource research, it’s impossible for life to survive on Earth, hence the idea to let the remaining humans travel to other environnts to continue living."
"Why have I never heard about it?"
"This research has actually existed for a long ti, but it hasn’t been tested successfully, and this kind of research may not get public acceptance, so the higher-ups demanded complete secrecy until success, without leaking anything externally. Currently, only about ten people are involved in this project at our institute, all are monitored, I couldn’t tell you."
An Ning bit her lip.
She also knew so secrets can’t be leaked.
"Later, we succeeded through repeated animal experints." Fu Xingyi continued, "So we needed soone to personally verify it."
"So they chose you." An Ning realized.
"Right. Because my ntor and I mainly spearhead this project, besides him, it was just . You know my ntor has aged, his originary body might not survive the long ice-bound period, so it had to be ."
An Ning tightened her fingers.
So the supposed soul travel wasn’t a miracle.
It was long planned.
"To prevent anyone from finding out, they declared my death externally. Moreover, I didn’t know if I could return after traveling, if I couldn’t, then to the apocalypse , it would be true death." Fu Xingyi looked at An Ning, "Sorry for worrying you."
An Ning lowered her eyes.
After knowing all the truths, she had no reason to bla him.
His actions were for humanity, what reason did she have to fault him?!
"So my travel wasn’t an accident either." An Ning murmured.
"Sort of, not really." Fu Xingyi said, "Initially, when you were bitten to death by zombies, your life was indeed over. But at that ti, my ntor urgently sought your parents, proposing to try having your soul travel. Your parents agreed instantly, then chose a book you had recently read for the travel experint. Fact is, because I hadn’t returned to the apocalypse, I didn’t know if the experint succeeded, and since your soul travel happened posthumously, there’s no certainty of success. Fortunately, it worked."
Fu Xingyi spoke, as if relieved.
"Did you return to the apocalypse after completing the mission, then co to find ?" An Ning asked.
"After returning, I recuperated for a while. Actually, initially, no one told you were alive, I fell into a period of depression, until my ntor couldn’t stand it and revealed the truth, though he couldn’t guarantee success." Fu Xingyi smiled slightly, "But I always felt you must be alive, so I asked my ntor to let travel here to find you."
"Can you still go back?" An Ning blurted out.
