Chapter 74 - The New God (3)

There were no sharp and fragile objects in Zhang Xun's room, the only thing he had was his own teeth.

He was sitting on the floor in the bathroom, looking at the water stains on the floor tiles with some despair. He didn't have much time and must start now.

He recalled all those good times, of Adam learning to walk while holding his hand, of Adam's enjoyment when he first ate an omelette, of Adam curiously asking him about his romantic life, when he came to him with Alloy in his arms, whenever he would sit quietly beside him and watch him work...

He was about to kill Adam, his first and only love, and he himself may also die.

Should he write a suicide note?

He frowned for a while, but decided not to leave anything that might cause problems. He didn't want others to take advantage of the problem and implicated his father and James.

He took a deep breath, trembling as he exhaled, then raised his right hand, brought his forearm to his mouth and bit down hard.

The pain made him tremble, tears flowed uncontrollably and a suppressed whimper came from his nose, but he didn't let go and continued to bite down, tearing his skin and flesh. Blood gushed out, filling his mouth. Then he continued to dig into the wound with his fingers and opened the flesh of the wound, the blood flowing everywhere. He bit his lip tightly, not letting himself cry out.

To prevent anyone from knowing where the last controller that could burn Adam's brain was located, he had buried it deep. Originally, he had special equipment that could pierce his arm with a probe to reach the signal transmitter that was only the size of a mung bean, but now, it was impossible to use that. He could only take it out in the most primitive way.

On the other hand, he actually hoped for this. This was the punishment he deserved. He wasn't strong enough and he wasn't smart enough to have brought the whole of Lost Paradise and even all of humanity, to the brink of some dangerous future that they couldn't turn back from.

When he finally found the small hard object, the pain had almost turned to numbness. He looked up at it with tired eyes and a bitter taste in his throat.

Excessive blood loss made his whole body cold and he was rapidly losing his strength. Looking at the bloodstains all over his body and the messy floor, he suddenly began to hope that people really had a soul and an afterlife. He hoped that Adam could also have a soul and an afterlife. He wished they could meet on the other side, in another capacity.

He smashed the small device and then lost consciousness.

............................................................

Zhang Xun woke up to the smell of disinfectant, his head was dizzy and he couldn't get his mind straight for a long time. The ward was silent, save for the monotonous beeping of the heart rate monitor and in his trance he seemed to have fallen back asleep a few times and heard someone talking near him.

Sporadic words jumped into his ears without forming a coherent meaning. Serious injury, brain, danger, trial ...... He couldn't distinguish who was speaking, nor did he have the strength to try.

When he eventually settled into a more awake state, it was midnight. He moved his numb legs, but heard the sound of metal clanging.

His hands and feet were fixed to the hospital bed so it was impossible to even turn over.

His heartbeat suddenly began to speed up and then calmed down a little bit.

He was alive...

Then, what about Adam?
