"Father, if one day I want to do something that endangers the world, will you kill me with your own hands?"
Yun Yun sat there, chewing a crystal nucleus in his mouth, and somehow brought up this topic.
Xie Hui paused, subconsciously turned his head to take a look at Yun Yun, with an inconspicuous smile in his eyes, and replied seriously:
"If you're not kidding me..."
"I do not know."
Yunyun didn't get the answer he wanted, hugged the doll on the sofa, and used the doll's head to rest his chin, sighing helplessly.
Sure enough, his father was still the same as before.
After Xie Hui finished answering, he went to do his own thing. When he was tired and took a rest, he turned his head to look at Xie Yun who was sitting there eating the crystal nucleus.
Although he has grown up now, in Xie Hui's heart, he will always be his own child, and this will not change.
However, looking at that Xie Yun who was distracted by ruaing Fugui with his fingertips even when he was eating crystal nuclei, Xie Hui felt that his previous assertion that he had grown up was a bit funny.
Xiao Li's son, who just came to visit, is even more obedient than Yunyun when eating.
Xie Hui didn't lie to him, he really wouldn't do anything to kill the child himself, no matter what happened.
As a father, he would only stop Xie Yun before he did that kind of thing.
But he felt that Xie Yun was not the kind of person who would do that kind of thing at first glance. This kid was excellent, and his excellence in all aspects even exceeded Xie Hui's expectations.
Originally, Xie Hui thought that he was about to start retirement now, but he didn't expect that soon after, Uncle Li, who used to be in charge of the Survivor Base, came to invite him to teach the academy in person.
The former learning system is not suitable for the present. Compared with all kinds of knowledge acquired from books, what they need now is to be familiar with supernatural powers.
Xie Hui didn't hesitate for too long, and nodded in agreement.
Now that he is still alive, he wants to do more things and leave more connections for Xie Yun to facilitate his future life.
Before, with Xie Yun's permission, Professor Yu gave him a full physical examination, and the result was that Xie Yun's life expectancy would be very, very long.
During that mutational evolution, Xie Yun was transformed from the inside out. He lost his heartbeat, body temperature, and his muscles would not wear out normally, let alone aging.
Xie Hui thought for a long time after learning of this result. Although after the end of the world, their lifespan will be extended accordingly, but they all have an end.
But Xie Yun is different. Professor Yu's conservative result is that Xie Yun will live a long life, but according to Xie Hui's guess, Yun Yun should be able to reach the legendary longevity.
His body is not like a human body, but more like a robot that does not malfunction, yet has emotions and self-awareness.
If it is not affected by external forces, his life will not end.
Xie Hui didn't tell Yunyun about it, but just kept it a secret.
Agreed to be a special teacher in the college, to teach those children who can't master supernatural powers.
In the academy, Xie Hui made many new friends. Xie Yun, who just wanted to stay at home, later became a member of the teachers.
Many cultures disappeared in the catastrophe of the last days. After the disaster, they were rebuilt and science and technology developed very rapidly. With the zombie vaccine developed by Professor Yu, they became the most powerful country in the world.
Until his old age, Professor Yu, who was lying on the hospital bed with a ventilator, was still thinking about the zombie he had seen before.
When Xie came back to see her, Yun Yun followed her.
Professor Yu is of great significance to most people who have experienced the apocalypse. She is a scientific research scholar who puts an end to the apocalypse on the bright side, but she knows very well in her heart that it is inseparable from the credit of Xie Hui.
If it weren't for Xie Hui, she would probably continue to spend all her life in that hopeless research project.
It was rare for Professor Yu to be energetic at this time. The assistant guessed that she was returning to the light, and turned her head away so that she would not see her crying.
She beckoned to Xie Hui, and when Xie Hui walked over, Professor Yu held his hand and said with great effort:
"My assistant... asked her to come over and record."
The female assistant who just turned her head away heard Professor Yu's words, sniffed and walked over with the camera.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie, for providing me with the correct thinking in the last days."
After finishing speaking, Professor Yu waved to Xie Yun again. Xie Yun still remembered the kind old lady in his memory, and when he walked to the hospital bed, she also held her hand.
"After my death, I hope that no one will treat Xie Yun as a test subject because of his identity. He is our compatriot, not a monster."
After saying this, she faced the camera and explained in great detail the experiments she was doing, all kinds of materials and unfinished things, all of which were clearly explained.
After saying this, Professor Yu finally closed his eyes with peace of mind.
In the ward, crying gradually rang out.
Professor Yu was in good health, and she passed away without any pain. She died naturally and left this world peacefully.
Even though the official announced this, there are still countless people who don't want to believe it, and even began to scold the official for releasing false news, hoping to be severely punished.
The development of the zombie vaccine was the most brilliant achievement of Professor Yu during his lifetime, and the other fragmentary experiments have also benefited countless people.
During his lifetime, he was honored countless times, and after his death, he was covered with the national flag.
At the funeral, Xie Hui met He Fang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and he didn't feel much strangeness after not seeing him for many years.
Half a month after Professor Yu's funeral, He Fang, who was busy with work, took the initiative to organize a bureau to reunite the people who used to be in a small team of the guard team before preparing to go abroad.
Some of them continued to serve as soldiers and guarded the motherland. Some were old enough to enter colleges and become teachers.
Young people like He Fang are all shining in their respective positions.
Those people I met at the beginning are living a very good life now. They have come all the way from that darkest era. For them, every day today is better than the past.
When other people are at a party, they chat about the past with wine and various appetizers. Only Xie Yun sits on the single sofa beside him, continues to gnaw his own crystal nucleus, and even stares at his father full of resentment. .
"Dad, don't just drink, eat some peanuts."
Xie Yun pushed a plate of peanuts in front of them, calling other uncles to do the same.
It's true that drinking can hurt your health, but Xie Yun didn't stop his dad at this moment, and even offered to help refill the wine after they finished drinking.
Since the post-disaster reconstruction began, they have never gathered as neatly as they do now.
Reminiscing about the past and talking about the present, drinking and eating meat, this kind of comfort is not common, Xie Yun didn't want to let them feel disappointed.
Xie Hui, who has always been a rational and calm person, rarely drank too much today. Fortunately, his wine quality is not bad, and he didn't do anything like drinking mad.
The place where they met was not far from home, so Yun Yun helped his father to walk back.
"Yunyun, look, those uncles of yours are old."
"Um."
Xie Yun also found out at the party before that after so many years, he has indeed aged a lot, including his father, and there are traces of time on his eyebrows and eyes.
"Dad is getting old too, what do you think if dad leaves and you are the only one left..."
Normally, Xie Hui would never say such a thing, he thought he was hypocritical.
But after getting drunk, most of the emotions are magnified countless times by the alcohol. What I used to find difficult to say, now I say it with some truth.
"Dad, how old are you to think about this?"
Xie Yun was also a little depressed by his father, but he still tried his best to liven up the atmosphere, with a less obvious nasal sound in his voice.
"Well, how old are you still crying?"
"Oh no, it should be said how big a little zombie..."
The familiar title made Xie Yun's emotions reach a critical point. Holding back the soreness in his nasal cavity, he corrected:
"Dad, you said you couldn't talk about this before."
"Well, that's right, Dad was wrong."
After returning home, Xie Yun helped his father to rest on the bed, stood by the bed and stared at his father's white hair on the sideburns, turned around and went to the balcony, lay there and looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky.
Zombies don't need to rest, Xie Yun spends countless nights with nothing to do, just looking at the stars.
Xie Hui paid great attention to maintaining his body in order to spend more time with that child.
Although others didn't mention it on the surface, they were more or less afraid of Yun Yun because of his status. Yun Yun stayed at home all day except going to college, and didn't have any close friends.
I can't go there early by myself, so that he doesn't even have a person to confide in.
After the short reunion that day, they went their separate ways. After Professor Yu's death, Professor Yu's female assistant took charge of her own work, continuing the unfinished experiments of Professor Yu.
People who come out of the end times together always have a deeper relationship with each other than outsiders.
Uncle Li, the person in charge of the base, also left a last word when he died of natural causes.
He did not hope that after his death, any experimenter would have the idea of using Xie Yun as a test subject.
They can have today, Xie Yun has contributed a lot to them, no matter what, they must never repay their kindness.
Xie Hui later became the vice-principal in the college. He has taught countless students, and most of them use abilities that carry his shadow.
Xie Yun didn't know the reason why his father was still working so hard at such an advanced age, but he was willing to respect all the decisions his father made and take care of his father more on weekdays.
Time has passed for a long time, and it has been so long that no matter how much he pays attention to maintenance, this body has reached the end.
He was lying on the rocking chair, not far away from the child who was making tea for himself, and said softly:
"So..."
