He Comes From the Void

Chapter 2 The only light in the boundless darkness

But if Kesha is more sensitive to the temperature of the human body, he will find that Kane is actually still alive.

A child is a child after all, unable to notice these details, and the shaky fate is put back on track.

"Help, my leg is crushed by a stone..."

Quickly attracted by the cries of others, Keisha left Kane's "corpse" and searched for other survivors in the dark.

But the more survivors she came into contact with, the more desperate she became. These people were not as lucky as her. They were either buried in the ruins and could not be dug out, or their bones and internal organs were broken when they fell.

No one can be saved by her. Watching these lives gradually die out, Keisha is desperate and confused.

"Mom, where are you? Who will save me..." Witnessing familiar people turning into cold corpses, the girl sobbed helplessly.

When Keisha walked away, Kane opened his mouth and gasped.

The pain in the lungs was exacerbated by the holding of breath just now, and now every breath will cause severe pain.

In the end, his consciousness was washed away by waves of pain, and he passed out completely.

...

When Kane woke up again, the first thing he felt was not pain, but hunger.

"How long have I passed out...is there still time?"

He began to fear that he had lost his only chance of life, but fortunately, there were still weak cries for help not far away.

"Fortunately, if someone is alive, it means Keisha is still alive."

Keisha will wait until she is the only one left in the ruins three days later before deciding to leave here to explore the perilous underground world.

The roads in the underground world are complicated, and Kane must follow her before she leaves, otherwise it will be very difficult to meet her again.

But now, he had to find some food to satisfy his hunger, otherwise he would not have the energy to deal with the next danger.

The wound no longer hurts so much, and the blood flowing from the top of the head has also clotted. During the period of coma, the injury in the chest cavity seems to have recovered a little, and Kane can barely stand up and walk now.

The underground world is dark and dull, and the huge wound after the subsidence has been healed again.

There will not be even a trace of sun and moon glow projected from above, and naturally there will be no light source below.

In the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, he could only use his feet to rub forward on the ground step by step, and when he touched something, he bent down and groped to distinguish whether it was a rock or something else.

Although he knew that there would be no monsters in the ruins, and he didn't have to face the fear of the unknown, he still felt palpitations when he encountered a corpse occasionally.

He found the water bag in the ruins, opened it and drank heavily, irrigating his throat that was about to burst into flames. Then he found some jerky and peaches.

It stands to reason that juicy fruit that is extremely perishable should always be eaten first, but thinking that Kesha likes peaches very much, Kane stuffed the jerky into his mouth first.

In fact, it doesn't matter if these peaches rot in the end, as long as the heart is conveyed. After Keisha completes her symbiosis with the Void, she no longer has to take nourishment from these foods, or even use her mouth to eat.

Kane continued to collect some food and a spear. He wrapped the food with the cloth bag he found and carried it on his shoulders. His other hands tightly grasped the spear and propped it on the ground. It was both a weapon and a support.

Then he started looking for Keisha.

The area of ​​ruins formed by the collapse of the entire village was not small, but Kane would not be so stupid as to drag his weak body through the entire village in the dark.

He groped towards the place where there was a cry for help, and it didn't take him long to find Kesha.

There was a rustling sound in the darkness, and Kesha was trying to dig out the survivors calling for help with her hands, but she couldn't move the heavy crushing rock, kneeling on the ground saying sorry and crying.

"Stay strong, silly girl."

Kane's lips moved, but finally he didn't make a sound.

He lay down on the spot, trying not to make any noise, he still needed more rest, but he hoped that Keisha would also stop and rest.

He quietly took out a round peach from the package, which still felt fluffy to the touch.

The young Keisha has no awareness of searching for food. Now she needs the sense of security brought by company more than the dispensable sense of fullness. The fear of the dark has prevented her from feeling hungry.

But hunger and thirst can really break a man.

Kane gently put the peach on the ground, then pushed towards Keisha.

Peaches tumbled down the slope of the ruins and finally hit Keisha's ankle.

"Who?" Keisha was startled and screamed, her exhausted spirit tensed at this moment, she took out her dagger and gesticulated in the dark, as if some monster would throw her down.

But after realizing that no one responded, she lowered her head in frustration and picked up the foreign object at her feet.

"Peach?" With her familiarity with this fruit, Kesha figured out what it was as soon as she picked it up.

Peaches are her favorite food, and when she thinks of the sweet taste, her parched mouth immediately salivates.

The hunger was awakened, and the body moved directly without the brain's command.

She wiped the dust off the peel with her hands, blew on it again, and opened her mouth to bite down.

But with the sweet juice gushing out, are those sweet memories that can no longer be reproduced.

She will no longer be able to eat the dishes cooked by her mother, nor will she be able to hear her father telling him what he saw during his travels by the bedside, and the gifts that can bring surprises on every birthday...

Everything I once had seemed to be gone forever, and salty tears flowed into the corners of her mouth again. Keisha cried while eating, and she could taste different despair with each bite.

Cold, lonely, dark...

Kane listened to her cry silently, then was overwhelmed by the tide of sleepiness.

Kaisha fell asleep, and Kane felt a little relieved. He closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep, waiting silently to witness the turning point of her destiny.

The survivors are still calling each other weakly, repeating their names over and over like chanting. After waking up, Keisha still tried to find the living, even though in the end even she knew that she was doing futile work.

Kane quietly followed Keisha for three days, until at last her own voice remained in the ruins.

Friends and family were all gone, leaving her alone in the dark.

The girl who had shed her tears, driven by hunger, echoed across the ruins like a walking corpse.

It was at the moment when it was all lost that she saw the light.

In this boundless and cold darkness, I saw the long-lost light!

With unknown expectations, Kai'Sa's fluffy legs surged with strength again. She followed the light, all the way down.

Kane still followed Keisha quietly where she couldn't see.

Even if he knew what kind of terrifying thing was hidden behind that light, he could only drag his disabled body hard at this moment.

"Live! Kesha."
