human suffering

Chapter 2690 Lifespan is Fuel

This was Cai Gen's second visit and he was familiar with the place.

However, when I arrived at Zeng Ruyu's room, I was shocked by the tense atmosphere there.

Various instruments and various tubes.

Zeng Ruyu seemed to be installed in the Matrix in The Matrix.

Only half of his face was revealed, and his eyes were tightly closed.

The last time I saw him, he looked like a skeleton, looking extremely haggard.

This time, it’s even worse than last time.

I don’t know how the flies were taken care of during this period.

In the ward, there was a young nurse changing the dressing.

I was surprised to see Cai Gen come in.

"This has been changed to the intensive care unit. No visitors are allowed. Get out now."

After giving the order out of habit, the little nurse saw the cat's head hiding in Cai Gen's arms.

"Hey, why did you bring your pet in?

Let’s go quickly. Don’t you know that pets are not allowed in the hospital?

If you don’t move, I’ll call security.”

Cai Gen didn't know what to say.

It's not easy to make up such nonsense.

We can’t let Xiaotianmao knock her out, can we?

Hey?

This is also a solution.

He was just about to order Xiaotianmao to take action.

Do a soul-stealing or something.

Who would have thought that Zeng Ruyu, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

It was as if he sensed Cai Gen’s arrival.

Using all his strength, he reached out and pulled at the nurse's clothes.

“He is from my unit.

Come and hand over your work to me.

Please go out, our unit."

I don’t know what Zeng Ruyu was thinking, but she actually started to help Cai Gen make up lies.

The young nurse was very surprised to see Zeng Ruyu woke up.

The doctor said that he had multiple organ failure and was in shock and coma.

Why did you wake up by yourself?

Is it a last gasp?

"Don't talk, I'm going to find a doctor."

However, Zeng Ruyu still pulled the corner of the little nurse's clothes.

His eyes were wide open and he looked very excited.

“Don’t argue. If you don’t want to lose your job, don’t argue.

My unit is involved in confidential matters.

Go quickly, stand by the door for me and guard it.

Don’t let anyone in.”

This time the young nurse did not turn a deaf ear and was stunned at first.

Then he slowly backed away, his movements a bit strange and uncoordinated.

It's like a puppet.

When passing by Cai Gen.

I wasn't paying attention and bumped into Cai Gen.

Since it is summer, we wear cooler clothes.

Cai Gen felt as if he was hit by an ice cube.

Looking at the little nurse's face again, there was ice on her eyelashes and her eyes were grayish white.

Cai Gen understood this time.

There was no need for Xiaotianmao to help, Zeng Ruyu handled the matter on his own.

I watched the young nurse go out, close the door, and stand at the door.

Cai Gen then stepped forward and came to Zeng Ruyu's bedside.

He placed the Roaring Cat on the bedside table and found a chair to sit down.

"Hey kid, how did you get yourself into this state?

You were fine last time I saw you.

Do you want it? I'll give you a bite."

Zeng Ruyu tried hard to use her elbows to support herself and sit up to speak.

However, I tried twice and failed both times.

My body is so weak that I am on the verge of death. I have no strength left.

"Cai Gen, can't you be more sensible?

Will you die if you help me?"

The tone of voice doesn't sound like Zeng Ruyu.

Cai Gen did not take action immediately, but observed carefully.

After looking at it for a long time, I finally saw what was wrong.

Zeng Ruyu's entire body seemed to be covered in a layer of white fluorescence.

The temperature is quite low, and after mixing with the surrounding air, it will produce some white mist.

"who are you?"

"I'm his father."

Oh.

Cai Gen was relieved then, and he turned the joystick to raise the angle of the bed a lot.

This allowed Zeng Ruyu to lean against someone instead of lying flat.

Zeng Ruyu took off the oxygen mask with trembling hands.

"Please turn off the oxygen for me and open the window.

By the way, give me a cigarette.

It's been so long, I'm dying of suffocation."

Cai Gen followed Zeng Tiejun's orders and did everything one by one.

However, he hesitated when lighting the cigarette. "Lao Zeng, this is your own son.

Your health is in such condition, and you still smoke.

Do you want to be the last one to leave behind?"

Zeng Ruyu snatched the cigarette and took a big greedy puff.

This was followed by a violent cough.

“This kid’s health has nothing to do with smoking.

The main purpose is to help you take the blame, your life span is not enough.

If it weren't for the five of them and I fighting hard these days, I would have died long ago.

Why did you come just now?

That fly is not reliable at all."

The five of them?

Needless to say, it must be the child in Zeng Ruyu's body.

Cai Gen automatically ignored this question and instead focused on life span.

If it is said that Zeng Ruyu violated the law of cause and effect, she would suffer backlash and exhaust her lifespan.

So, in order to continue Zeng Ruyu's legacy, Zeng Tiejun and his men will certainly have to pay a high price.

After all, it is against the laws of nature. If everyone does this, things will just get chaotic.

"Old Zeng, stop talking nonsense.

How long can you last?"

Zeng Ruyu took a deep breath, took another puff of the cigarette, slowly turned the lighter to the lowest setting, and lit it.

Looking at the flame as big as a grain of rice, my eyes were full of caution.

“The backlash is powerful.

He is now like a flame, very fragile.

It won't be destroyed without a gust of wind or a little effort.

We have done all we can just to keep him alive.

It is estimated that it will take at most one month and at most seven days.

There are only a few of us and we don't like cooking, so this is all.

When the fire was finished, he died.”

This metaphor is very vivid and made Cai Gen immediately understand how urgent the current situation is.

Once burned, they were gone. Not only Zeng Ruyu was gone, but Zeng Tiejun and the five little kids were definitely gone too.

"Old Zeng, do you need to replenish your spiritual energy?

You have spiritual energy, can I add some fuel to your fire?"

Zeng Ruyu rolled her eyes and her eyelids became numb.

Xiaotianmao spoke in a low voice, afraid of blowing out the lighter.

"Master, what he lacks is not spiritual energy, but life span.

The length of time each person lives in this world is determined by his or her lifespan.

Some people live long lives, some people live short lives, this is determined at birth.

You can think of each person as this disposable lighter.

Depending on the model, a certain amount of fuel is injected when leaving the factory.

We depend on these fuels to survive our entire lives.

Some people die peacefully after burning up their fuel.

Some people may accidentally fall to the ground and the tire may leak air, which may result in death.

Your aura solves the problem of the quality of the flame.

But it does not affect the total amount of fuel.

Without fuel, no matter how much spiritual energy you have, it will be useless."

Cai Gen immediately discovered the suspicious point.

"That's not right, Xiaotian.

Didn’t you say that natural treasures that contain spiritual energy can prolong life?

Why now, you say spiritual energy is useless and fuel is the key?

You can't keep repeating the same thing over and over again. Which one is true?"

Xiaotianmao sighed, everything has to be discussed in detail.

"Master, you have misunderstood the meaning of natural treasures.

As I just said, Reiki can improve the quality of the flame, it cannot increase the total amount of fuel.

For example, you originally use ten pieces of wood to boil water, but with the bonus of spiritual energy, you only need one piece of wood to boil the water.

The nine pieces of wood you save are the fuel you save.

With limited fuel, we get more things done, which seems to extend our lifespan, but in fact the length of our lifespan remains the same, only the width and depth of our life are different.

I don’t know, do you understand me?”

It took Cai Gen a while to understand, and he finally understood most of it.

“You mean, Zeng Ruyu has run out of fuel, and now she’s burning Zeng Tiejun and the five kids.

Since the length of life is predetermined, what is there to insist on?

Lao Zeng, just let him rest in peace.

At worst, I can give him a big gift package."

In fact, it’s no wonder that Cai Gen thinks directly.

Since there is no solution to the problem, why bother about it?

"Cai Gen, are you sure you want to give up my son?"

Cai Gen was about to nod, but Xiao Tianmao denied it for him.

"No, my master was joking, he was not sure, not at all.

Your son can't give up, you have to hold on."
