When he'd pushed open the lab's door and saw a familiar celebration scene, he'd immediately realized that the doctor was successful. He was anxious to find him, to be the first to hug him. But the person who deserved the tightest embrace had quietly left. He'd left the hustle and bustle and went off to a lonely place.
Lei Chuan had instinctually looked up to the top floor and ran up with the fastest speed. He had imagined the scene countless times, the day the vaccine was successfully developed, he would carry the doctor to the roof, step by step, to see the sunset.
But he'd missed his chance once again.
Why did fate love to always tease him?
At the same time, Zhou Yun Sheng was also questioning his wretched fate. He'd thought that Zhao Ling Feng was his love. Because, in every world, that person would always take the initiative to be at his side, quietly loving and protecting him, and Zhao Ling Feng fitted the bill. He'd also thought, a soon as he successfully developed the vaccine, he would get rid of Lei Chuan's monitoring and him and Zhao Ling Feng could find a quiet place to spend the rest of their lives.
But he was wrong, Zhao Ling Feng was not the person he was looking for.
Where the hell is that man? He looked up to the sky and suddenly felt very confused. He couldn't sense the man's presence, except for a kiss, he couldn't be certain. Every time, that person took the initiative to appear and take care of him, he'd chased him for several lifetimes and Zhou Yun Sheng had also opened up his heart's defensives to let the man in.
But, was there a law that said he must be with him forever? Perhaps he just wanted to take his power, perhaps he was just a mess of code that finally fixed its error, even worse, maybe he was a free person that was just playing a game.
But Zhou Yun Sheng was real, and he was thoroughly too deep into this love to remove his heart.
Zhou Yun Sheng had never felt such exhaustion in his heart, he suddenly felt very weak. His eyes dulled and he slowly released his soul from his body, there was nothing left for him in this world.
At this time, the door opened and Lei Chuan stood still at the entrance, his expression odd.
The doctor wasn't weeping, but he had never seen such sorrow in his eyes, it was as if he could see his broken heart through his clear eyes. He instantly regretted letting Zhao Ling Feng escape with just an injury.
Why must it be Zhao Ling Feng? Can't it be me?
He walked over, sat by the doctor's side and whispered, "Doctor, can I tell you a story?"
"What story?" Zhou Yun Sheng endured the pain of stripping his soul away, his tone still nonchalant.
"Once, there was a man who, because of his special physique, was captured by a scientist and taken as a test subject. The scientist studied him in cruel ways, and when his brother broke into the lab to save him, his brother was killed. The man couldn't stand the stimulus and chose to commit suicide. But he didn't die, instead, he turned into a ghost that was tied to the scientist."
"He'd thought that the scientist was a perverted madman, but actually, everything the scientist did was to save humanity. He was very brave, but also very stubborn. His heart was simple and pure, and he was sometimes extremely intelligent, but sometimes very foolish. He was so foolish that he traded his own life so mankind could have a hope. The man initially hated the scientist, then he calmed down, and eventually, he couldn't contain his unstoppable love."
The more Zhou Yun Sheng heard of the story, the more scared he felt, he realized that this was Lei Chuan's experience in the last life. He was a soul that was bound to his side?
Lei Chuan held the doctor's hand and continued, "That man was me, and doctor, that scientist was you. That was our previous life. To monopolize your research results, B Base assassinated you, and I chose to self-destruct again. The moment I opened my eyes in rebirth, I swore I would never let anyone hurt you. I love you, doctor."
Zhou Yun Sheng stared at him, stunned, he didn't know how to respond.
Lei Chuan hugged him tightly in his arms, his voice hoarse, "If you must love someone, you must love me, or, I don't think I could bare to let the other man live." The words fell and he bowed his head to gently touch the doctor's pale lips, he gently pried opened his teeth to deepen the kiss.
Even if his chest was filled with jealousy and violence, he was still reluctant to be too rough with the doctor, he didn't want to hurt him.
A familiar throbbing passed through Zhou Yun Sheng's soul, he suddenly understood, when he'd kissed Lei Chuan before, there was no special feeling because he'd only kissed a soulless shell.
Fate had turned around…and roundhouse kicked him into a pit. Now, everything was too late.
He pushed Lei Chuan away and gave him a wry smile, then he coughed out blood. Once he started pushing his soul out, he couldn't return it, he had to leave.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" With every word he said, more blood poured out.
Lei Chuan's blood chilled, he forcefully grabbed the doctor and covered the blood continuously spilling out of his mouth with his palm. He saw the blood leaking out through his palm and his heart collapsed.
"Why is this happening? Weren't you fine yesterday?" His voice trembled, he continuously poured his healing ability into the doctor's body, but to his despair, his power was useless.
Zhou Yun Sheng shook his head and tightly held on to his cold hand, he said with difficulty, "I'm waiting for you in the next reincarnation, you have to hurry…. and find me. I feel very tired without you…. I can't stand… being apart…. Do you hear me?"
Lei Chuan was speechless in misery, he didn't want to promise him farewell words. Why must it be the next reincarnation? He wanted him in this reincarnation, and the next reincarnation, and the next reincarnation … … he wanted him forever, he didn't want to watch him leave in a bloody way.
Zhou Yun Sheng saw him not responding and used the last of his strength to say, "I want you to promise me…. that you'll find me. Let me leave at peace….please... can't you do it?"
"Yes…I promise….In the next reincarnation no matter where you are, I'll find you!!" Lei Chuan buried his face in the doctor's heaving chest and whimpered.
Zhou Yun Sheng was relieved, his soul quietly slipped into the world's consciousness void.
The body in his arms gradually cooled, and Lei Chuan's heart shattered. If the doctor wasn't in this world, then what was the meaning of existence? If the happy faces was missing the doctor's face, then what was worth looking forward to in the future?
He realized that the doctor had already become the driving force behind his life.
He rested his blood-stained cheek on the doctor's forehead and gently smiled, but his body was releasing a terrifying energy.
Guo Zerui felt the pressure and ran upstairs, and was shocked by this scene. He didn't know how the doctor died, but he knew that he couldn't let Lei Chuan continue. If a King level Warrior self-destructed, the blast would be enough to bury the entire Shu Prefecture Base with him.
"Boss, did you forget the reason why the doctor used all his energy to develop the vaccine?! He loves this land, he loves all the creatures on this land! Do you have the heart to destroy everything he loves? No!! Stop!! The doctor is still in your arms, don't crush him!"
The last sentence had an effect, the suffocating pressure suddenly receded. Lei Chuan held the doctor's body, jumped off the edge of the 30 meter tall building and disappeared out of sight.
Six months later, he returned to the base, bearded, still clutching the doctor in his arms. But the body didn't look like a corpse, because Lei Chuan had injected a large amount of healing power into it every day. Not only did the doctor's body not rot, his complexion was even healthier than when he was alive, he looked like he had only fallen asleep.
Lei Chuan made a crystal coffin with meteor-tempered glass and carried the doctor wherever he went. The scene of him carrying the coffin into a zombie tide and slaughtering everything he came across became an unforgettable memory for many people.
He behaved more and more eccentrically, and he always bravely leaped into the most dangerous situations. His heroic lack of fear of death caused everyone to admire him, yet fear him at the same time. Only Guo Zerui knew that he was courting death. From the moment the doctor closed his eyes, Lei Chuan become a zombie, but because the doctor loved the land and longed to restore the world to its original beauty, he was stranded in the world, emotionlessly slaughtering every zombie he could.
He was willing to pay everything for the doctor, including his life force and soul.
One day, he suddenly attacked B Base, crushing almost all of the base's higher-ups. He was especially cruel to a level 11 Ice Warrior, he not only shattered the man's nucleus, he eviscerated his body and skinned him to the bone, then hung his body on the wall for the crowd to overlook.
His cruelty provoked public outrage, but because of Shu Prefecture Base's protection, they couldn't touch him.
Eight years later, a King level zombie turned up and it single-handedly destroyed several small and medium-sized bases. Lei Chuan heard the news and tracked it day and night, when the zombie was cornered in the northwest desert, he self-destructed his nucleus to kill it.
When Guo Zerui and Zhao Ling Feng arrived with a Warrior team, they only meet a huge crater, as if an atomic bomb had dropped. In the center of the crater was an intact crystal coffin. Even in his last moments of self-destruct, Lei Chuan didn't forget to spare power to protect his beloved, even if that person could no longer open his eyes to see him.
Guo Zerui and Zhao Ling Feng knelt in the crater and wept bitterly, then they eventually carried out the crystal coffin carefully, using every method to ensure that the doctor's body wasn't damaged.
Many years later, after the world had completely shaken off the gloom of the Apocalypse, this corpse became a holy object that many people regularly visited to pay respects. Bai Mo Han and Lei Chuan, the two names were honored and engraved in the history books forever.
