Xi Bei returned to the living room. He sat on the floor and picked up his grandfather’s body, raising him away from the chair. He took his grandfather away like the chair was the most terrible monster that would separate his grandfather’s body from him. Once away from the chair, he placed his grandfather on the ground but the muscles of his cheeks were twitching nervously. The floor was also a monster.

The next moment, his entire body was shocked and he suddenly took a few steps back. His own existence was also a source of pollution. An Zhe saw his panicked and helpless expression and stepped forward. He had just taken a step when Xi Bei’s horrified gaze fell on him and Xi Bei took another few steps back. If everything in this world polluted each other then it was only by staying away from all things that they could preserve themselves.

An Zhe could understand Xi Bei’s fears and offered to distance himself.

“I’m sorry, I…” Xi Bei’s teeth were shaking. “I need… quiet.”

Lu Feng took An Zhe to the bedroom. After stepping into the bedroom and seeing the flowing chandelier again, Lu Feng suddenly stopped. An Zhe looked up at the colonel and saw that the green eyes seemed to have become ice.

The next moment, Lu Feng took his communicator from his coat pocket. He held it tightly, his knuckles white.

An Zhe watched from the side. Xi Bei had collapsed and An Zhe knew that Lu Feng’s condition, as a human, wouldn’t be any better than Xi Bei. What’s more, the colonel had more thoughts than Xi Bei. While overcoming the fear brought about by the crazy world, he must also think about the human base in the distance—for the human base, he must calm down.

If the engine failed due to contamination of substances then the communicator must be the same. There was a screwdriver in the drawer of the bedside table in the bedroom. Lu Feng picked it up and turned the screws on the communicator.

The shell, the chip with complicated patterns, the interlaced wires and countless small parts were spread out on the bed. Lu Feng picked them up one by one and examined their structure in the light.

There were many parts to the communicator. After watching for a while, An Zhe also took out some simple structural parts from the stack in order to check if they met the standard of human machinery.

After closing the bedroom door, it seemed like there were only the two of them in this world. None of them spoke. In the midst of the rain, nothing was heard except for the sound of parts being checked. Lu Feng’s progress was fast and these parts seemed normal.

An Zhe suddenly felt choked up.
