CHAPTER 15: CHANGE


Without all the high-tech communication equipment, the lush and verdant mountains became the most distant barrier at this time, separating Jing Xia and the others from the outside world. The time when they didn’t know, the outside world had already undergone tremendous changes, and all the inherent rules and laws in the world disintegrated.

Since the □□ that happened a few days ago, the entire B City sunk into panic. The crowds of frightened crying people, roads covered with blood, everything was no longer as tranquil as a few days ago. That kind of peace was ignored by default, that order which had been barely maintained, under the shouts of those who, one by one, rallied on the streets——completely collapsed.

However, the real turning point to all this change, was actually the emergence of the first evolver.

It all started from that seemingly ordinary middle-aged man who had been painfully rolling on the ground. Everyone stayed far away from him in fear, and they all thought that this would be the next to die from the illness. However, after the pain that had lasted for several hours faded away, people were surprised to find that this person actually “lived” again!

Just like how the first deceased from illness appeared quickly. After when the first evolver appeared, the second, the third…… gradually, gaining the ability to fly, gaining powerful strength, a variety of evolvers began to appear on the streets. From being suspected as deviants by the people, they gradually became the absolute rulers who dominated everything.

In this era of panic and fear, when people have power, they have the right to speak.

The evolvers established the “Evolutionists Organization”, which is basically only a front. The evolutionary alliance, which is only one-tenth of the Department National Defense, dominated the entirety of B City, beginning an era under the rule of evolvers. Yet at this time, Jing Xia was still competing with little black dumpling, while Su Weishang just drove away from the B City.

Xiao* Shang, do we really have to leave B City?” After really driving the car away from the “B City Welcomes You” sign, Wu Jiqing finally could not help but said: “B city is our base camp, although now the evolvers have gained the upper hand, but they also haven’t done anything against us ordinary people.”

*T/N: Affectionate way of referring to someone

“Jiqing, I just have a hunch, we should leave the B City.” Su Weishang sat in the front passenger seat, revealing a shy and pure smile: “Believe in me, alright? After arriving at S City, you also have a lot of friends just like before. Now the evolvers in B City are too high-profile, pressuring us…… we, ordinary people, simply have no way to survive.”

Wu Jiqing sighed heavily,nodded and no longer refuted.

Su Weishang, with a gentle smile, completely covered that dark gleam in his eyes. Where Wu Jiqing couldn’t see, he clenched his right hand, as if he wanted to push his nails into his flesh, extremely resentful and angry.

Even now, he still can’t believe that when they arrived at Jing Residence, they would actually see a completely empty house. A car in the garage was missing and the whole house seemed to have been inhabited for a long time. It was pervaded with a strange smell after not ventilated for a long time.

This is not right!

Su Weisheng tightly clenched his teeth, revealing a sinister expression.

Clearly, last time they saw the other, Jing Xia was in the Jing Residence. Why is he not here this time?! Could it be that…… it’s only because of his rebirth that this kind of butterfly effect will happen?

Su Weishang closed his eyes, concealed all the resentment in his eyes. He slightly hooked his lips and thought in his mind: It doesn’t matter, this kind of little change is not important at all. Perhaps Jing Xia will die during that wave of beast tide in B City, simply not needing him to worry 

Of course, assuming that Jing Xia luckily didn’t lose his life, then he, Su Weishang will be waiting at China’s final base for humanity——S City, welcoming him!

In his last life, he died in the first beast tide of S City. In this life, he will definitely be the final winner of this apocalypse!

“Little bastard, give me some water.” Just as Qin Chu’s voice fell, a stream of pure and translucent water instantly emerged from her fingers, but it only flowed for a short while before disappearing without a trace. Flinging off the water droplets on her hands, Qin Chu helplessly asked: “Little bastard, when can you master your ability more intricately? I have only just washed this pheasant a little, your water already disappeared. Do you still want to eat?”

Jing Xia choked and his face reddened. With great difficulty, some water droplets emerged again, but splashed towards Qin Chu’s face, completely drenching the other.

“Little bastard!!!!”

“Sister Qin! I didn’t do it deliberately…… this thing is really not easy to control ah!”

A meal once again ended with Qin Chu’s face filled with black lines, but nevertheless it was a rare sumptuous meal, and even Steward Wang ate more. After the meal, Qin Chu packed up the remaining trash and threw it out of the cave, and Jing Xia handed the soup that Qin Chuhad decocted to Steward Wang. He was only willing to let it drop after personally seeing the latter drink it all.

“Keke…… Young Master, don’t toss this old weary body of mine anymore.” This bowl of black and bitter medicine really wanted Steward Wang’s old life. A bowl everyday simply made this old man feel that his life had shortened by a few years. However, Jing Xia must personally see Stewards Wang finish drinking before letting the matter go. This made Steward Wang feel his heart fill with warmth and at the same time, feel a kind of torment.

“Grandpa Wang, we now have the conditions to properly treat you…… you have a cold, you must drink it all!”

“Ok, ok, ok. I’ll drink, I’ll drink. Young Master keke…… don’t be anxious. Finishing speaking, Steward Wang didn’t hesitate and picked up the medicine bowl, completely drinking it all down. His old face wrinkled even more because of the bitterness of the medicine. Yet, a happy and warm look was revealed in his turbid eyes.

Qin Chu walked in from outside the cave and said, “Let me take the pulse again and see how the effects are in these three days.”

Jing Xia retreated and stepped aside, giving some room for Qin Chu to crouch down. He looked at Qin Chu’s stretched hand that took Steward Wang’s pulse. He frowned and his eyes were full of worry and concern.

It’s already been a month since Ji Chuancheng left.

Twelve days ago, their dry food had already been completely depleted. In the beginning, they could still barely manage to find the marks left by the scout Li Guang, but after some delay due to the sudden deterioration of Steward Wang’s body, some of the already hidden marks were now even more concealed by the mad growth of the vegetation. They could no longer find any more traces. 

Originally, the three people thought that someone would come back to pick them up soon, but no one expected that after Ji Chuancheng’s departure, they really lost all news. Qin Chu had always been firmly convinced that a major event occurred in the army, causing him to be unable to return and Jing Xia believes in Ji Chuancheng even more, so no complaints have arisen from this.

Fortunately, right on the first day of Ji Chuancheng’s departure, Jing Xia awakened the water ability.

Jing Xia clearly remembered that when he had just awoken, he saw Qin Chu’s fearful and worried face. This Yu Sister* who grew up bullying himself, tightly held him in her arms, torturing him with her buoyant chest, almost causing him to faint again.

*T/N: Affectionate way of referring to someone

However, this is also a blessing amongst the misfortunes, he finally awakened the water ability.

“Not bad, as long as you pay attention to not tire yourself and continue drinking medicine, nothing major should happen.” Qin Chu smiled and nodded to Stweard Wang, then turned to give Jing Xia look, saying: “Little bastard, let’s slowly discuss how the hell should your ability be used!”

Hearing this, Jing Xia could only follow Qin Chu out with a bitter face.

In his last life, his ability was no longer at the current level. So now, this feeling of being blocked and unable to have full control is really unfamiliar to him. Probably because of the low level of the ability, his skill at control was not even as fluid as during the later period and was often educated by Qin Chu.

“Sister Qin, I really have no way ah. You believe me, wait a little longer, when I’m a bit more proficient, I’ll definitely……”

“Little bastard, I really…… don’t know what to do.” Just a dozen meters away from the mouth of the cave, Qin Chu lowered her head and whispered: “I didn’t bring many medical ingredients with me in the first place. The most important thing is that I don’t know how to prescribe the right medicine. Steward Wang’s illness…… even if you give me another ten years, based on my current level, I also completely have no way to solve it.”

Jing Xia’s voice clogged in his throat. He started at the disheartened Qin Chu in a daze. After a long time, he forcefully smiled: “Sister Qin, what are you talking about? Hasn’t Grandpa Wang’s cough already improved a lot? Moveover…… I’ve already awakened my ability and he’s still standing in front of me alive. Nothing…… nothing can happen to him!”

Right now, Jing Xia’s greatest confidence is that he has already awakened his ability, and Steward Wang has not yet experienced evolutionary failure!

During his last life, as early as before he had even awakened his ability, Steward Wang had already passed away. He absolutely did not drag it until now.

Qin Chu looked at Jing Xia’s not daring to believe expression and could only helplessly shake her head. She clenched her teeth and said, “If you don’t believe me, then I can’t do anything. To be honest, according to the pulse and my observation, Steward Wang isn’t only coughing now, he should…… be at a very serious stage. Maybe…… as you said, he will really be fine.”

Jing Xia clenched his right hand, not willing to listen to Qin Chu’s words no matter what. But a voice in his heart kept repeating, this…… may be the truth.

He has never doubted Qin Chu’s medical skills. As long as the other party said it, there will be no mistakes. But…… he really didn’t want to admit the fact that Steward Wang’s body might never improve.

“Sister Qin, I will go find tonight’s dinner first, you take care of Steward Wang.” After a pause, Jing Xia slowly raised his head and said, “If…… If there is still no way tomorrow, we will light the signal flare.”

Qin Chu froze for a long time before nodding: “OK.”

One person turned and walked into the cave, while the other’s shadow gradually disappeared into the flourishing cluster of trees. Qin Chu suddenly turned around and looked towards the figure. She could only see Jing Xia’s slim back being gradually enveloped by the darkness of the forest, the light giving way to darkness until there were only shadows left.

She solemnly stared for a long time, before finally sighing and turned to enter the cave.

She just walked a few steps before hearing a concentrated “Jiji” sound, and quickly accelerated her pace. Qin Chu shouted: “What happened, did……” Her voice stopped abruptly, Qin Chu looked at the glaring scarlet red bloodstain on Steward Wang’s palm and gaped, not knowing what to say.

That kind and amiable old man was sitting on a big rock at this time. When he saw that the person who came in was Qin Chu, he let out a sigh of relief. Then he smiled while saying: “Miss Qin, please keep this a secret for this old man. Don’t…… keke……” Just as he was talking, there a burst of fierce coughing that seemed to make him nearly cough out his internal organs. “Don’t…… let the Young Master worry.”

The corner of his mouth slowly stretched into a smile, Qin Chu slowly closed her eyes, but could not conceal the bitterness gracing her lips.

These two people are really……

What should she do?
