Chapter 204: Su Tianhao

The "Su Tianhao" before them was shrouded in an eerie red light all over his body, as if countless maggots writhed beneath his skin, the corners of his mouth split into an exaggerated arc, revealing stark white teeth.

Xiao xi, Xiao xi, you finally came to see your brother, brother really misses you, brother really really misses you...

His voice sounded like countless people shouting in unison, and the cavern's tremors grew even more violent with his words.

Lin Yifan shoved Su Xiao xi behind him, and icy power condensed in his palm.

Su Xiao xi hearing this, indeed froze on the spot, hastily lifted her head, and said with a face full of sorrow:

Brother, brother?

That's right! I'm your brother! Su Tianhao apparently wanted to earnestly express his kindness, trying to show a faint smile.

As a result, his already rotting face became even more horrifying.

He possibly also realized his appearance had changed, quickly lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice:

Xiao xi, it's great that you're still alive! Come to brother's side, brother will take you away from here.

Su Xiao xi hearing this, instinctively lifted her leg to walk toward Su Tianhao, but Lin Yifan grabbed her and pulled her back.

Snap out of it, this isn't your brother. Lin Yifan frowned, his tone cold and hard: "Didn't you forget? None of the Maggot Human Bones we encountered before looked any different from your brother's face."

Su Xiao xi also came to her senses instantly, but she spoke hesitantly:

I know, I remember everything, but this really is my brother.

What do you mean? Lin Yifan looked puzzled.

Su Xiao xi's talent allows her to see through others' information, as well as that of objects.

Therefore, her saying this absolutely cannot be baseless.

Su Xiao xi nodded, saying firmly:

Although I don't know why he's still alive, I can be certain that he is my brother.

Ah! Ah!

And at that moment, Su Tianhao suddenly clutched his head, letting out a painful groan.

Brother! Brother, what's wrong with you? Su Xiao xi rushed forward, reaching out to support Su Tianhao, saying with a panicked face.

However, Su Tianhao indeed shoved her away, speaking in a hurried voice:

Xiao xi, run! Run! I've been assimilated by the Red Moon power; even if I desperately try to retain my sanity, my body is already contaminated, so I can't hold on much longer.

While I'm still lucid, you guys hurry and leave this place; I'll stabilize the collapse here to buy you time to escape.

Also, don't get close to me anymore; although the one speaking earlier was me, the will wasn't mine, and getting near me will also contaminate you.

Xiao xi, live well; brother can only protect you up to this point!

After saying that, Su Tianhao raised his head, forcing a smile toward Lin Yifan, and pleaded:

You're Lin Yifan, right? I remember you; the night you first arrived, you saved me and my sister, and you were the only one that night who reached out to help us, so I remember you.

I never expected my sister to be with you, but that's good; my sister's talent is special, yet she's young, with no one to protect her, she probably couldn't survive on her own.

My time has come; if I don't die today, my mind will be completely lost, turning entirely into a Maggot Human Bone. Being able to see my sister one last time is already a great fortune; I know my request is presumptuous, but I have no other option now.

Lin Yifan, I beg you to look after my sister; although her talent can't protect itself, it's still somewhat useful to someone strong like you, and I promise she'll obey you—please, please protect her!

Lin Yifan never expected that Su Tianhao was actually still alive.

But he could also see that Su Tianhao was at the end of his rope.

Otherwise, he couldn't possibly have let Maggot Human Bones appear inside the Shelter yesterday, forcing Su Xiao xi to leave the Shelter.

And Lin Yifan had already signed the precious master-servant contract with Su Xiao xi, so naturally he couldn't not protect her, and he nodded:

Don't worry! As long as she doesn't betray me, I'll protect her completely.

But how did you become a vessel for the Red Moon power? And how did your Shelter suddenly end up right next to my Shelter?

I believe you definitely know some inside information; if you have any info, I hope you can tell me, so I can live longer and also protect your sister longer.

Regarding their sibling bond, Lin Yifan felt moved, but that was all.

Nowadays, every Survivor lives day to day, so what Lin Yifan needs now is more information and truth.

Only then can one survive longer in this world.

But upon hearing this, Su Tianhao rubbed his temples, gave a bitter smile, and said:

On the second day I arrived in this world, I was contaminated by the Red Moon power; although I've been alive these days, it's hardly different from being dead. The only thing I can do is have the vessel produce Maggot Human Bones to keep them away from my sister.

So the truth and information you want, I really don't know, but...

Su Tianhao hesitated, then pointed at his chest and said in a low voice:

After being contaminated by the Red Moon power, I thought I was surely doomed, but I didn't expect a strange thing to grow on my chest.

After it appeared, it constantly emitted a chilling, icy aura, and it's precisely because of this aura that I can barely maintain my sanity and protect my sister.

However, last night the Red Moon power suddenly surged; even the icy aura emanating from that thing inside me couldn't shield my mind, which led to my complete contamination.

But I can feel that the object is still there, only its energy may have been exhausted; if you take it, perhaps you can find clues.

Having said that, he hesitated slightly, glanced at the Red Moon power crystal, and said in a low voice:

But I can't give it to you right now; the Red Moon power has retreated into the crystal to lurk, and this cave exists only because of the Red Moon power, so it's about to collapse.

I still have some Red Moon power left in me, enough to briefly support us while we get you out—let's go quickly!

Otherwise, I really won't be able to hold on!

As he spoke those words, Su Tianhao's body deteriorated even faster.

Beside her, Su Xiao xi saw this, and tears burst forth like a broken string of beads, "Brother, I don't want you to die, I don't even want to leave you—how can I save you?"

How exactly can I save you?
