Gu Li went crazy with despair.
But when she looked at him, the pain in Xia Ling's body was blocked by Hai Hai but her body, which was riddled with holes, could not hold on.
"Gu Li, live on." Her voice was very weak and faint, as if it could suddenly disappear into the air at any time.
"Gu Ling!"
Gu Li held her hand tightly and desperately screamed. Blood and tears slowly flowed down.
He did not notice, but the young girl was not unconscious.
Even if he had kept her by his side and done so much, she still wanted to use her death to leave him!
"No, I won't allow it." Gu Li's vision turned black, and his chest turned red.
The bullet hit Xia Ling's chest, and then, the force of the explosion caused the shrapnel to hit Gu Li's body.
It only happened for a moment, and the highest defense of the medical room was instantly activated. Gu Li carried the young girl and rushed into the medical room.
He activated the petri dish, changed the nutrient solution, and carried the young girl into the nutrient solution.
Shrapnel was embedded in his wound. Under the immersion of the nutrient solution, it kept healing and was repelled and torn apart.
Holding the scalpel, Gu Li's hands trembled a little. He carefully helped Xia and himself to treat the wound, afraid that if he was not careful, he would hurt her body even more.
He healed his body in the nutrient solution.
Wearing a white coat, Gu Li looked no different from before.
In the clean petri dish, the young girl slept quietly in the nutrient solution, curled up like a baby.
The nutrient solution repaired her body over and over again.
As long as the body didn't die, the modified heart wouldn't die. At most, it would overdraw her life force.
However, the young girl's body had been repaired long ago. Her face was flushed red, but her person never woke up.
Gu Li stood guard and watched.
The bullet exploded from the young girl's body. A shrapnel also pierced into the young girl's brain.
Gu Li very carefully took out the shrapnel.
But the young girl in the nutrient solution, breathing and heartbeat, all stopped at once.
After a full ten minutes, when Gu Li had decided to follow her, the girl's vital signs slowly recovered.
All of this was just like when Gu Li first modified the girl's body and put it into the nutrient solution.
Waiting was so torturous.
Dry skin appeared on Gu Li's lips. He did not know how long he had been waiting.
Even if he waited like this, could there be hope.
Was the life that had already died in the brain still the same as before?
The modification of the heart had already exceeded the original limits of life. Even if a new life was born in Gu Ling's body and replaced Gu Ling, it was not impossible.
However...
If things really turned out like this, Gu Li might choose to kill her and bring this world to an end.
"Ling, you said that I only know how to possess, not respect."
"However, respect can be exchanged for you waking up. I'm willing to respect your choice as long as your choice is to choose me."
As he spoke, his eyes were already numb, and there were no more tears.
However, that kind of pain, the guilt that he had to bear in his heart, was tormenting him every day. He hated himself. If he had respected her as Xia Ling had said earlier, would everything have been different? But now, it seemed that there was no more chance, no more chance for him to start over.
