Chapter 523 This seed failed too.
The zombie worm hidden in Fang Hui's sleeve crawled up Xu Yu'an's face, burrowed into his eye socket, and took over his brain.
Fang Hui, who was holding Xu Yu'an and crying, did not notice the strangeness of the zombie worm.
Suddenly, Xu Yu'an moved his hand. Fang Hui was both surprised and delighted as she wiped away her tears and looked up.
His once bright blue eyes had lost their luster and were now completely devoid of life.
It wasn't until Fang Hui saw the zombie worm in the other eye socket that she realized one of the zombie worms had broken free of her control and parasitized Xu Yu'an.
She crumbled, cradling Xu Yu'an's face in her hands, cursing at the zombie worm in its eye socket: "Spit it out! Spit out that eye... that azure eye! You parasite!"
The zombie worm controlled Xu Yu'an's hand to brush away the stray hairs in front of Fang Hui and tuck them behind her ear.
In Xu Yu'an's clumsy voice, he called out, "Hui... Sister..."
"Don't you dare call my name with his body! You're nothing but a worm at heart, what are you doing trying to act like a human here!"
"painted……"
"You're not allowed to use An'an's body! Give him back to me! Give me back the whole An'an!"
Fang Hui shook Xu Yu'an's body frantically, as if trying to shake the zombie worm out of his brain.
"Give it back to me! Give it back to me..."
The parasitized eye twitched, as if it understood something. It slowly closed its eyes, its body gradually went limp, and it collapsed into Fang Hui's arms.
The zombie worm doesn't understand human emotions. It only knows that its master wants the person in front of it to come back to life, so it parasitizes the corpse, trying to comfort its master by speaking in his voice when he was alive, but it only gets scolding in return.
So he chose to fall into a deep sleep. (This is why, even when the coffin overturned in the village of corpse drivers, Xu Yu'an's body didn't move an inch.)
"What a pity... Seed number 164 also failed to bear fruit."
[That's the voice!]
Luo Shiyu and Fang Hui looked in the direction from which the sound came from at the same time, only to see a white figure that vanished in an instant.
[That mysterious man with the dog-headed staff? It can't be wrong, it's definitely him. What are those seeds he's talking about? Is Wang Xiaobao one of his seeds? And what is that fruit?]
Luo Shiyu scratched her hair in frustration.
Ugh, I hate riddle tellers! When I see him, I'll beat him to a pulp!
The screen jumps again.
Fang Hui kept her promise to buy Xu Yu'an a big house and spent 1200 million yuan to make a coffin for him from golden nanmu wood, which was almost all of her savings.
The remaining money was used to buy a wooden cart and an ox to haul the coffin. (Fang Hui couldn't drive, not even a basic tricycle.)
As the war intensified, fiery clouds could often be seen exploding on the horizon. Fang Hui drove his cattle, wandering from place to place.
Where was she going? She didn't know.
Just wandering around... just wandering around...
Strangely, Xu Yu'an's body showed no signs of decay. It was unclear whether it was due to being parasitized by zombie worms or something else, but his skin was smooth and delicate, completely unlike what a corpse should look like.
This often made Fang Hui feel as if Xu Yu'an was just asleep, talking to himself and saying many things.
Even if there is no response.
How long did this kind of life last? Even Fang Hui herself probably can't remember. She only knows that the leaves turned green and then yellow, fell and then turned green again, the seasons changed, year after year.
One day, Fang Hui's oxcart was suddenly stopped by a luxury car.
Lu Jinchuan got out of the car. He looked much older, with most of his hair turned white. He was unkempt and looked crazy.
"Fang Hui! Where did you hide An An? You hid him, didn't you? You must have hidden him!"
Fang Hui glanced at the coffin behind her subconsciously and said coldly, "Get out of the way."
"What are you looking at? An'an must be there, right?"
Ignoring Fang Hui's objections, Lu Jinchuan climbed onto the wooden cart and opened the coffin.
"Found you! An'an, I found you! Ha! Hahaha~ I finally found you. You really went to great lengths to hide from me~ Stop pretending to be asleep! I've already spotted you."
Xu Yu'an moved his hand, grabbed the edge of the coffin, and used it to sit up.
He opened his eyes, which had been dormant for so long, and looked at Lu Jinchuan.
A gentle breeze ruffled his hair, just as it had in life.
Even though he had finally seen the person he had longed for, Lu Jinchuan couldn't utter a single word the moment their eyes met. He choked back tears and placed his bent finger under Xu Yu'an's nose.
There was no breathing, not even a rise and fall of his chest.
Lu Jinchuan collapsed to his knees beside the coffin, his body trembling as he touched Xu Yu'an's already cold face.
"An'an... is dead? Dead... Fang Hui... An'an is dead?"
"He's long dead. Didn't you ever imagine this day would come when you traded your life for his?"
"But if I don't exchange my life, I won't be able to see what An'an will look like after she turns ten."
"So you're selfish, wanting both ways. You're just like your mother. You hate her because you're so much like her."
"Shut up!"
Fang Hui quietly walked behind Lu Jinchuan and raised the dagger.
"Fang Hui, can you turn me into something like that too? I want to..."
As Lu Jinchuan spoke, he turned his head, and Fang Hui's dagger swiftly pierced through his throat.
"Cough...cough..." Lu Jinchuan opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't make a sound.
"Don't you want to become like that too? I'll grant your wish!"
The zombie worms climbed up Fang Hui's arm and onto Lu Jinchuan's face.
Lu Jinchuan's eyes trembled as he watched the zombie worm open its green mouthparts, revealing more than a dozen sets of teeth.
"Pfft!" The needle pierced his eyeball.
Lu Jinchuan's hand was tightly clasped with Xu Yu'an's, and they remained completely still.

"Little Fish! Little Fish! What's wrong? Wake up, don't scare me!"
Is that Jiajia's voice? It sounds...
Luo Shiyu opened her eyes and saw Yu Jiajia's reddened eyes. She reached out and touched the water droplets dripping onto her face, asking in confusion, "Is this... tears?"
"I dripped my snot on your face, okay? If you're not feeling well, get up and walk around a bit. Stop pretending to be dead."
As Yu Jiajia spoke, she pushed Luo Shiyu away from his embrace and turned away to secretly wipe her tears.
[Jiajia actually cried out of worry? Beneath that strong exterior, her heart is truly sensitive and fragile.]
Xiao Hei: "No wonder Fei Yu likes it."
Hmm, I agree.
Hey! You two little devils, now that you're alright, come over and lend a hand!
Hearing Xu Yu's cries for help, Luo Shiyu noticed that he was being pinned against the wall and having his neck bitten by Lu Jinchuan.
Even with the combined efforts of several corpse-drivers, Lu Jinchuan couldn't be pulled, and the zombie worms were completely out of Fang Hui's control.
Luo Shiyu's eyes darted around as he thought of a mischievous but effective trick. He shouted to Xu Yu, "Shh, look at me!"
Luo Shiyu pointed to his lips and verbally told him: Play dead.
Xu Yu didn't hesitate for long; he closed his eyes and collapsed instantly.
Lu Jinchuan panicked as he watched the person in front of him slump down. He wanted to reach out and hug him, but he was afraid of touching the cold body. He stayed by Xu Yu's side and asked Fang Hui for help.
“Draw…save…peace…”
