Collapse: The World I Live In

"Doctor, the results are out, a drug that cures Honkai disease." Although this is exciting news, the person who spoke did not seem very happy. Yi said dejectedly, "But to make a drug that cures Honkai disease, you need the antibodies in the bodies of a thousand patients with Honkai disease to make one. This ratio is one to one thousand..." Yi couldn't say anything more. In the past six months, Yi and Mobius had conducted research and experiments on dead soldiers, Honkai beasts, and humans... They had all been seen on the operating table in the laboratory. Watching lives die on the operating table, although these were all volunteers and their families would be compensated, it still brought a bad influence to the laboratory, causing Mobius's reputation to become more and more bad in the Fire Moths. But there was still a result, that is, the drug that cures Honkai disease, which finally cured his mother's disease. Not long ago, his mother had been hospitalized and was waiting for this drug to save her life. But, but a thousand people! Where can Yi find them? Yi felt powerless about this. His mother's disease couldn't wait any longer.

"Yi, don't worry, there will be a way. If you give up, then your mother will really be helpless." Mebius comforted, "Come with me to Changkong City in a few days. There is a genius waiting for me to meet there. You can also go and see your family by the way."

"Got it, Doctor. I won't give up." Yi showed an ugly smile. Looking at Yi's expression, Mebius also sighed. It is not easy to find a thousand patients with Honkai disease.

……

Arrived at Changkong City

"You should go and reunite with your family first, and just remember to pick me up when the time comes." Mebius said as he walked towards Qianyu Academy.

"Okay, Doctor," Yi replied.

Arriving at the hospital, Yi opened the door of the ward with a heavy heart. He saw a woman sitting on the bed inside, looking out the window. The breeze blew her hair. Yi looked at the wrinkles at the corners of his mother's eyes and thought to himself that his mother was getting older.

"Mom, I'm back." Yi shook his head, smiled and said to his mother. Yi's mother turned around and looked at her grown-up son. She also smiled and said, "Long time no see, my son." Seeing his mother's haggard appearance, Yi walked to the bedside and sat down, peeled an apple for his mother, and talked with her about his experiences in recent years. His mother did not interrupt him, but just listened to her son's story quietly. The scene was so peaceful.

Yi kept his head down, looking at his mother's thin body. He handed the apple to his mother, tears flowing uncontrollably from his eyes. He said to his mother, "Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely find a way to cure your illness. Now I have a way. Soon, your illness will be cured." Yi was afraid, afraid of losing his loved ones.

The mother looked at her son like this, moved her body, hugged her son, patted Yi on the back, and said, "My child, you have done very well. You must remember that no matter what happens in the future, you must move forward. If you don't move forward, you will be buried by the sand. You must enjoy your life. You may face countless difficulties in the future, but don't give up. I will always be with you." This may be a mother's advice to her son because she realized that she had a little time left. She held Yi's face with both hands, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "You have grown up, Yi, don't cry anymore."

"Mom..." Looking at the once beautiful woman in front of him, who was now tortured by the Honkai disease into this state, Yi felt very uncomfortable and hated the Honkai disease. The seeds of hatred were planted at this moment.

Yi stayed with his mother in the hospital for the whole afternoon. Then his mother said to Yi, "Well, it's getting late. Your sister will be out of school soon. You should go see your sister."

"I understand, Mom. I'll leave then," Yi said to his mother.

……

Qianyu College

"Brother!" Seeing his brother standing at the school gate, Xi greeted his friend beside him, then ran towards him, hugged his brother's arm and said, "Long time no see, brother."

"Well, long time no see." Looking at Xi who had grown up in front of him, Yi also smiled.

Yi and Xi were walking and chatting on the road. Xi suddenly said, "Brother, Sister Yidian is going to have a concert in Changkong City. Do you want to go and see it?"

"If you have a chance, go and see it, but tickets for Eden's concert are hard to find," Yi thought for a while and shook his head.

"Hehe, look at what this is." Xi suddenly took out a few tickets and showed off to Yi.

"Where did you get this?" Yi asked curiously.

"Sister Eden gave it to me. She didn't have a position for you, so she had to give it to me," Xi said, "How can you not even tell Sister Eden where you are working." Yi didn't refute, but smiled bitterly. Eden, it's been a long time since I last saw her.

"Here, these tickets are for you," Xi said as he gave the tickets to Yi, who also accepted them.

"Okay," Yi said. At this time, he saw the coffee shop across the road and found that Mebius was talking to a purple-haired woman with a ponytail who was wearing the same school uniform as Xi. Xi looked over in the direction Yi was looking and said, "That's Mei-senpai. She's a very impressive person."

"Do you know him?" Yi asked.

"Of course, I know her. She's a celebrity in the high school department. Although I'm in the junior high school department now, I've still heard of her name. I think she's just like you, my brother, a genius." Xi replied.

"I think she should be better than me. Then who is the white-haired guy staring at Mei outside the coffee shop?" Yi asked.

Xi looked carefully and said, "That's Kevin. The girls in our school call him Prince-sama. I heard that he seems to be pursuing Mei. He is much braver than his brother was at the beginning."

"..." Yi was speechless, but Xi was right. Yi led Xi to the other side, came to the white-haired man and said, "Does it look good?"

"Of course Mei is beautiful, the most beautiful." Kevin said without thinking, not caring at all who asked the question. It was not until he answered that he realized and turned around to look at Yi.

"Hello, Senior Kevin." Xi didn't know why her brother came, but still came out to say hello.

"Oh, it's Xi. Hello, who is this?" Kevin also greeted Xi and asked.

"This is my brother." Xi replied.

Mobius and Mei in the cafe seemed to notice the movement outside, walked out of the cafe, and said to Yi, "Why are you here?"

"I just went to pick up my sister from school. I hope I didn't disturb you." Yi showed Xilu to Mebius and replied.

"Mei!" Kevin smiled and waved at Mei. "Why are you here?" Mei asked Kevin. "Isn't this worrying you, Mei?" Kevin replied.

Looking at the two of them like this, Yi couldn't help but sigh, "What youth."

"That's it, I hope you can consider my proposal, Mei," Mebius said to Mei. After that, he was about to take Yi and the others away.

"I understand, Doctor. I will." Mei nodded seriously.

After Yi and the others left, Mei turned around and said to Kevin, "Kevin, don't do this again next time. It's good enough that they didn't cause you any trouble."

"I know, I know. There won't be a next time," Kevin quickly came to Mei and said flatteringly.

……

"I have to go to a cocktail party. You guys go first." Mebius said to Yi.

"Well, Doctor, drink less." Thinking of Mobius's touching alcohol tolerance, Yi couldn't help but remind him, "I'll pick you up when it's over."

"Well, okay." Mebius said and left.

……

After Mebius left, Xi asked, "Who is that sister? I feel so oppressive in front of her."

"I guess he's my boss." Yi thought about it and decided not to tell Xi the truth.

At this time, a person ran up from behind Yi, patted Yi on the back and said, "That's too much, Yi. You and Mebius didn't even invite me when you went out to play. I'll be sad." When Yi heard the voice, he knew it was Alicia without even thinking about it.

He turned to Alicia and said, "Alicia, be gentle."

"Hey, who is this cute little sister?" Alicia seemed not to hear and moved closer to Xi.

"This is my sister, Alicia," Yi said to Alicia.

"What a cute girl, so soft." Alicia put her face close to Xi's and said with a smile. Seeing Xi blushing and shy, and letting Alicia manipulate her helplessly, Yi immediately pulled Alicia away and said, "Alica, that's enough."

"How inconsiderate of you to prevent the friendly communication between beautiful girls," Alicia pouted and said to Yi. Yi looked at Alicia like this, pinched Alicia's face and said, "Don't you see that my sister is troubled?"

"It hurts, it hurts, let go quickly. How can you pinch a beautiful girl's face? I'm getting angry." Alicia broke free from Yi's clutches, rubbed her face that was pinched by Yi, and said.

"Okay, okay, Alysia, by the way, this is for you." After saying that, Yi handed Alysia a ticket to Eden's concert, "A ticket to Eden's concert, haven't you always wanted it?"

"Oh, thank you." Alicia immediately grabbed the ticket and said with a smile.

Looking at Alisha's appearance, Yi was speechless. He said goodbye to Alisha and took his sister home.
