Chapter 50:
"When I go to sleep, I always think... When I wake up in the morning, am I still myself? My mind may also be swallowed by Kabaneri's instinct and disappear..."
The distressed voice became lower and lower, and gradually disappeared. Wuming was silent for a while, as if to pack up his emotions. When he turned around again, he immediately became as cheerful as ever.
"When you wake up in the morning, everyone will be bitten by me, and... you, who are in the same carriage as me, are the first victim to be bitten by me!"
Wuming deliberately made a scary look, raised his hand as if to catch someone, and walked over to Yongye.
"If you sleep too dead, you will die~ So go and be careful not to sleep too dead like before."
"...Yes, if you sleep too hard, you might be raided at night like before."
The side effect of becoming Kabaneri is that Kabaneri's virus will break through some kind of **** and occupy the nameless brain at some point. This kind of thing has been guessed long ago.
When he asked about the side effects of Wuming becoming Kabaneri, Wuming refused to say, probably guessed it at that time.
"Is this the side effect of becoming cabaneri? It's really a serious side effect, and it's no wonder you didn't want to talk about it at the time."
"Of course I can't say it. If I said it, you still haven't chased me with a knife?"
"No... I actually guessed it a long time ago."
"Liar, if you guessed how could you agree to share a carriage with me?"
Obviously Wuming didn't believe what Yong Ye had guessed long ago, but in fact it was. Yong Ye only roughly felt that way, not completely sure, and he was not without defensive measures.
When he was sleeping, he had a knife that he could draw at any time, even now.
Of course, in the early days, he would pay attention to being anonymous and even sleeping, but now it's just because of the habit he developed in the past, so that he always keeps the knife within reach to deal with emergencies.
From Wuming's words, Yongye can feel that Wuming always hides the helplessness and panic in his heart, which makes him ask bluntly without concealing his inner inference.
"Are you... afraid?"
"Hey? What did you say all of a sudden? You, the person who might be attacked, are not afraid, what am I afraid of?"
"It's different, I'm an adult... You're still a child."
"Huh? What theory is this? Do you look down on people? Do you want to fight?"
Wuming put his hands on his hips, letting his dissatisfaction go beyond his words.
"Although I can't beat you, I won't let you bully me!"
"...No, I didn't intend to bully you, so don't fry like this."
Turning a blind eye to Wuming's anger, Yong Ye put a hand on her head and rubbed it rudely, causing Wuming's dissatisfaction again.
"What are you doing? Don't treat me like a child! You messed up your hair, bastard!"
"I'm not a hero, so I don't have much ability, so...there are a lot of things I can't do. Well...I actually don't want to be a hero, because heroes tend to die quickly, and I don't want to die...but, as long as I I will do my best to do whatever I can…”
Yong Ye continued his behavior as if he was bullying the weak, putting his hand on her head despite Wuming's objection, and said seriously.
"I won't do unrealistic delusions, but since I can become Kabaneri, I believe there must be a way to reverse this form. Although I don't know where there is such a method, I will definitely think about it. The way, find a way to turn you back into a human, and then... find a fortress to let people grow rice, and fulfill your mother's expectations of you."
"It's not that easy to turn back into a human being or something... Besides, if I turn back into a human, I won't be able to fight, alright? When the time comes..."
"If you can't fight, you can't fight. After all, you are a child, and letting you fight is the wrong choice."
"But, but, if I can't fight, then I have no value, then I..."
"The value is not measured by combat effectiveness. At that time, in the safest fortress, King Kong Guoli, not only will there be no threat from Kabane, but I will be there. You don't need to fight at all, do you?"
"...To live and work in peace and contentment in King Kong Guoli? That's Yongye's goal? You obviously have such a powerful skill and unmatched swordsmanship, but do you just want to live a safe life?"
Looking at Yong Ye with a serious face, Wuming's mood was very complicated. But Yong Ye didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his thoughts.
"Is there anything wrong with this? Isn't it normal to be a little selfish?"
"Really...not a hero..."
The anguish dissipated, Wuming stared at the man in front of him who said that he was selfish, completely unworthy of being a hero in terms of moral character, but had the strength to become a hero, muttering to himself and laughing unconsciously.
Looking at the smile on Wuming's face, Yong Ye guessed what she was thinking, but he just said in disapproval.
"It's not at all. Don't have unrealistic expectations for me. I just said that I'm not a hero, and I don't want to be a hero. I have no obligation to save mankind, and I don't have that kind of lofty ideal."
Yong Ye didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his thoughts. He had not received any favor from this world, nor did he feel that he had an obligation to save this world.
What does it have to do with him when others die? He is not a hero and has no obligation to save. He is just an ordinary person living in another world. For him, his greatest obligation is to protect himself and... the people he cares about.
Well... In fact, after being in this world for so long, there are only two people who have a good relationship with him, um... It's really only two.
Masuda Toshiki, who taught him kendo, still has no name, but Masuda Toshiki is dead, and now there is only no name left.
So, if possible, Yong Ye is willing to help her.
Wanting to eat rice all-you-can-eat for Wuming is nothing but a simple thing for him, who has a lot of money, but... it's a bit difficult to change back to human beings.
Of course, this is not impossible.
Although Wuming didn't say how she said she became Kabaneri, you don't need to say more about Yongye to guess an inseparable approximation.
Wuming said that she has never been bitten, which means that she did not become accidentally like Ikoma, but probably the "elder brother" who cultivated her as a weapon.
Even if you don't know who that "elder brother" is, one thing is for sure, that "elder brother" is a person from Hunter Fangzhong, and it is likely to say high-level.
Being able to artificially transform Wuming into the past means that the hunters must have a lot of research on Kabane, and can change people back into this form. Since they can make Kabaneri, then they think about it in reverse. It's not impossible to change back...isn't it impossible?
Although he never even met face to face once, frankly, Yong Ye had a very bad impression of that "elder brother".
Not only did he train children as weapons, but he could also feel it in Wuming's few words, and Wuming was also using it as a weapon. Such a person must be a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
Different from Yong Ye's cold-blooded ruthlessness, Yong Ye knew very well that it was difficult for him to betray and abandon people who trusted him. Although he didn't have any subordinates who had a deep relationship with him, if he had subordinates, his subordinates would still swear allegiance to him. With deep affection and trust, he must have difficulty treating him like a **** at will.
From Wuming's words, she could feel her trust and admiration for "elder brother", but that "elder brother" obviously betrayed this trust, and directly turned Wuming into Kabaneri, who had a major security risk. And it is also cultivated and used as a weapon.
Only a stupid child like Wuming has been raised like this since childhood, so even though he felt helpless and hesitant because of Kabaneri, who was transformed into a man-eating monster at any time by some unknown means, he did not feel it. So what's wrong with "elder brother"?
...
A shrine on the mountainside.
The only two people here were thinking about different things without opening their mouths, causing the surrounding to fall into a quiet silence. Gradually, the sunset gradually fell, and the sky was filled with stars and a bright Milky Way.
The light from the disc-shaped full moon dispelled the darkness of the earth, and the swaying trees rustled in the breeze.
In this shrine, Yongye felt an unprecedented tranquility, because there was no "bang bang" noise when the Iron City was running, nor was it often heard in the frontline fortress, and there were crowds outside the city. The whimper of the team's Cabanne is forever.
