Chapter 646 Mother (Missing Her)
"Boom boom boom!"
Just as Qin Zhong was thinking about how to escape from the illusion, a soft knock on the door suddenly reached his ears.
"Who?"
Hearing the sudden knock on the door, Qin Zhong's long-cultivated combat skills immediately made him alert. He grabbed a fruit knife on the table in front of him and asked in a serious tone.
In the illusion, he had lost all his super powers and inhuman physical qualities, so he didn't even notice someone approaching the door.
"It's me, come out quickly, it's time for dinner." A familiar voice sounded outside the door. Although it sounded a little impatient, it sounded particularly gentle to Qin Chong's ears.
"Mom!" Qin Zhong's hands couldn't help but tremble when he heard this familiar voice. He took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, put down the knife in his hand, and walked to the door step by step.
"You little bastard, do you hear me? Hurry up!"
Outside the door, the mother impatiently warned her son again. Knowing her son well, if she didn't urge him a few more times, he would immediately become addicted to the game again.
"understood!"
Qin Chongqiang suppressed the sadness in his heart. Even through the door, he seemed to smell the scent of home, the familiar home, the familiar smell, the familiar voice.
All of this is exactly what he didn't know how to cherish before, but now he can't get it!
"Hurry up!" After hearing Qin Zhong's answer, the mother outside the door didn't say anything else. She just turned around and walked towards the small living room where they ate.
"call……"
As the footsteps gradually faded away, Qin Zhong's fluctuating mood slowly calmed down.
He knew that although everything before him made him so attached and reluctant to leave, if he indulged in it, not only he, but also his parents who might still be alive in reality would suffer misfortune one by one.
"crunch..."
After calming himself down, Qin Zhong opened the door. As he opened the door, the familiar living room appeared before his eyes.
Looking at this familiar scene, Qin Zhong couldn't help but take a deep breath. He didn't expect that when he returned here again, he would be in a fantasy world.
"Come on, have you washed your hands?"
Qin Zhong had just stepped into the small living room when his mother's gentle voice came again. He looked up and saw his mother appear in the living room, placing dishes on the table, while his father was still busy in the kitchen.
Looking at this extremely familiar and warm scene, even though he knew that all this was fake, he couldn't help but feel his eyes turn red.
The feeling of home has been away from him for a long, long time.
"Haven't washed yet."
After staring blankly at his parents for a long time, Qin Zhong came back to his senses, forced a smile, and said, "I came over as soon as I heard it was time for dinner. I'll go wash up now."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the bathroom. He was afraid that if he didn't turn around, tears would flow down.
By then, it will be difficult to explain to my parents.
"Fei Fei, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
As if she had noticed something was wrong with her son, the mother put down the dishes in her hands, and asked worriedly, using Qin Zhong's nickname.
Yes, Qin Chong is his full name, and his nickname is the opposite of the word Chong, which is the word Fei, so his nickname is Fei Fei.
"No, I'm just a little tired from playing."
Standing there, Qin Zhong took a few deep breaths before he managed to stop his tears from flowing. He said in a nasal voice that sounded like crying, "Maybe, maybe I have a cold and my nose is blocked."
……
"You said you were going to study for the civil service exam, but instead you're playing games all day and don't even take care of your health."
Hearing that her son was not feeling well, Qin Zhong's mother said the harshest words, but her body was very honest. She walked up to Qin Zhong and touched his forehead to test the temperature.
She didn't seem to feel the heat, but she was still worried. She took out two boxes of medicine from a drawer, placed them on the dining table, and said with concern: "Whether you have a cold or not, take some medicine as a precaution. These are cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine. Take them after you finish your meal and help digest the food."
"I know... Mom."
Hearing his mother's concern, memories from his childhood came flooding back like a tide, and Qin Zhong could no longer hold back his tears.
He hurriedly walked towards the bathroom without looking back. As soon as he entered the bathroom, he closed the door and looked up at the bathroom wall mirror.
The man in the mirror is tall, fair-skinned, and looks immature, a dull and unexercised otaku.
He had seen many people like this before the end of the world, but after the end of the world, he basically never saw them again.
Because a otaku like Qin Chong's current state will either be changed by the apocalypse or swallowed up by it.
Just like himself, he also became a cruel and ruthless butcher with blood on his hands!
“It would be great if we could stay at this moment.”
Looking at himself in the mirror, Qin Zhong suddenly became upset. After a while, he calmed down, sighed, and turned on the faucet.
“Crash…crash!”
The feeling of reality here is really strong. Clear water gushes out from the faucet, swirls twice in the washbasin, and flows into the pipe. Looking at the clear tap water, Qin Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In the end times, all resources are in short supply, especially since it has been almost a year since the beginning of the end times. Water and electricity have long been cut off, and all pure water sources are rare treasures.
Even in Songcheng, with its abundant underground river resources, it can only barely meet the daily water needs of the survivors. If anyone can afford to use water as luxuriously as before the end of the world, it is only the top leaders of Tiangang and Qin Zhong's women.
This situation is considered very good in the apocalypse. If it were outside Song City, ordinary survivors would find it difficult to obtain daily drinking water, let alone wash their hands and take a bath.
Thinking of this, the bitter smile on Qin Zhong's face became even wider. As expected, everything becomes precious only after it is lost.
"Fei Fei, hurry up, it's cold. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold again."
Just as Qin Zhong was staring at Qingshui in a daze, his mother's urging came again from outside.
It was March at this time. Although the weather was getting warmer, it was still very cold in the north. Although there was heating at home, the hot dishes just out of the pot would become cold in less than ten minutes if placed on the table.
"Okay, I'm coming." Hearing his mother's urging, Qin Zhong took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, no longer thought about it, scooped up some clean water and brushed it on his face.
Feeling the biting coldness on his face, Qin Zhong's confused thoughts began to become clear.
He knew that his current situation was extremely dangerous, because this illusion was too real, so real that if he was distracted for a moment, he would confuse the boundary between reality and illusion and get lost in it.
He was very afraid that if he stayed here for too long, he would regard the end of the world in reality as just a dream, and instead regard this place as reality, and then indulge in it, becoming trapped here and unable to extricate himself.
