Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: S Rank Pill

Seeing this, Su Jiyai helped her sip the warm broth.

The nourishment hit Huo Ning’s tongue, and she felt an overwhelming sense of relief wash over her.

It had been so long since she’d tasted real food.

Tears welled up in her eyes again, but this time, they were tears of gratitude.

“T-thank… you…” Huo Ning whispered, her voice still hoarse from days of thirst and pain.

She tried to eat more, but her body could only handle a little at a time.

[Host, it is unsafe to bring anyone into your personal space…]

Su Jiyai chuckled,

“That is what you think. She doesn’t even about my base, let alone about the existence of an underground apartment.”

[Host why are so generous toward the girl? No mission has been issued yet…]

“Her will to live.” Su Jiyai muttered, her eyes remained on Huo Ning. “She is just like me. So similar…”

[Host she is not biologically related to you.]

It took Su Jiyai a few seconds to process the system’s words before she chuckled,

“So you think I was being nice to her because I thought she was biologically related to her? System, sometimes I feel you are naive and cute.”

[Host, if that is not the reason, then why?]

Su Jiyai smiled faintly at the system’s confusion, her eyes softening as she watched Huo Ning, who was slowly but steadily gaining some strength from the food.

“I helped her because she deserves it. Not because of some biological connection or strategic advantage, but because she fought to survive in a world that treated her like nothing. That kind of will… it resonates with me.”

Wasn’t little Su Jiyai like her too?

She wanted to survive. She never had any adult to guide her and love her, but…she promised her past self that if she ever came to meet any child who had the same temperament as her, and she had the power to change their life, she would.

That was how she was going to heal herself.

Su Jiyai’s childhood was dark.

For her it was unbearable. Many times she suffered many unimaginable things.

If Su Jiyai could have, she would have never wanted to live those memories again.

Only after turning 18 did her life turn for the better.

She didn’t want any kid to have that life. Hence she goes out of her way to sometimes take care of these

“Burp….” Huo Ning hurriedly covered her mouth with an embarrassed expression and took a sneaky glance at Su Jiyai, fearing that she would feel displeased with her burp.

Su Jiyai’s heart melted.

How cute.

But…

Su Jiyai sat beside Huo Ning and asked,

“Your name is Huo Ning, right?”

Huo Ning nodded.

“Can you remove the cloak?”

Huo Ning’s face turned pale and subconsciously she clutched the clothes tightly,

“Huh? Why?”

Su Jiyai blinked and cursed herself for being insensitive.

“I want to heal your wounds. Without knowing the severity of the wounds…how come will I be able to treat you?”

Huo Ning’s face turned red from shame and she apologized,

“I am sorry…sorry for doubting you.”

How can she doubt the angel who had saved her?

Su Jiyai watched as Huo Ning hesitated before slowly loosening her grip on the cloak.

As the fabric slipped away, Su Jiyai’s heart clenched.

Huo Ning’s arms were covered in bruises, burns, and deep injection marks, each one telling the story of her painful existence.

Her body was littered with injuries—some fresh, others faded into ugly scars, evidence of relentless experimentation.

The sight of it made Su Jiyai’s chest tighten in anger.

She swallowed, keeping her emotions in check so as not to startle Huo Ning.

However, her heart was filled with hatred.

This was humanity the system, she and her Feng’er were trying to save.

This humanity would not even hesitate to experiment on a small child just to satisfy the curiosity of their twisted hearts.

Su Jiyai wondered whether god existed…

If yes, then why weren’t these twisted people dead?

“You’ve been through a lot, haven’t you?” Su Jiyai’s voice was gentle, her fingers grazing over the marks softly, careful not to cause more pain.

Huo Ning flinched slightly but didn’t pull away.

“Y-yes…they… they said I was strong enough to survive the trials,” Huo Ning whispered, her voice trembling.

“But… I wasn’t strong enough for them. They… discarded me…”

Su Jiyai’s fists clenched for a moment, but she quickly relaxed her hands, not wanting to show how angry she was.

She wanted to know about whom Huo Ning was talking about but looking at the scared look on Huo Ning’s face, Su Jiyai suppressed her curiosity.

How could they throw away a child like this? What kind of monsters were running Aurora Base?

She quickly opened her system interface, knowing she had to do more than just feed her.

[Host, are you sure about using another S Rank healing pill on her? It is worth 50 million points!]

“System how come I never noticed that sometimes you become over attentive?” Su Jiyai asked coldly.

[Host, my stance may seem wrong to you. But trust me, each hint that you let slip, will cost you in the future.]

Su Jiyai’s hand trembled.

Qin Feng’s words echoed in her mind.

‘Sometime…I truly wonder…whether god doesn’t want us to live anymore.’

Was it truly god who didn’t want them to survive?

Why does the system keep on saying that she has to protect her identity at any cost?

The base was reinforced with security of high level, yet…the system ensured no one knew how she looked.

Was it truly for her safety…or to ensure that it could replace her any time she dared to disobey it?

No…

There were many times she had thrown tantrums, yet the system didn’t stop worrying about her…

So why?

Was it perhaps…

Bzzz.

“Ahhh.” Su Jiyai clutched her head in agony. The shockwave was so sudden and so painful that cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

[I am sorry host, there was a malfunction just now.]
