Star of Civilization

Joyner stood up slowly, looking coldly at Nova's limp body.

Just as he was about to go forward, he suddenly felt dizzy and was startled. He couldn't take half a step, and fell to the ground.

It was really too much...

Just recovering her physical strength, she was hit hard by this. She thought she could give it a go, but her body couldn't stand such a fierce battle at all, and she was already exhausted.

I do not know how long it has been.

Joyner opened her eyes slightly, only to see a blur in front of her eyes, as if something was shaking.

A few seconds later, a drop of liquid fell on Joyner's lips. The sweet and warm feeling entered her body along her mouth, her stomach became hot, her mind cleared up, and she suddenly regained consciousness.

"Is it enough?"

"There is no hatred between you and me. Don't tell me...do you want to die with me so much?" Nova's voice came from the corner of the wall.

After her vision became clear, a green glowing fruit appeared in front of Joyner's eyes, like the flower bud that had grown in Morgana's palm before. The fruit was about the size of a baby's fist, with a small opening at the top, from which the juice dripped into his mouth.

On the other side, Nova was leaning against the wall, covering the wound on his ribs, and looking up at Joyner. There is a layer of glowing hyphae covering the gap between the fingers, and it looks like it is seriously injured.

On her other arm, there were several vines chopped off by Joyner, wriggling like a snake, and the green fruit grew out of one of the vines.

Joyner wanted to say something, but there were a few gurgling sounds in her throat, and she gave up.

After more liquid entered her throat, Joyner felt a warm current all over her body, and the wound was unbearably itchy. It seemed to be healing, but it was extremely comfortable.

"Oh," Nova sighed softly, "I said it all and didn't want to hurt you, but why...you just don't believe it?"

Joyner's heart trembled, and she felt that her throat seemed to be unobstructed, so she asked, "What is this juice...it has such an effect?"

"Gene Supplement."

Nova's voice was as cold as before, and it didn't sound like the injury was serious, and seemed to recover faster than Joyner.

"You absorbed the gene supplement...?" Joyner suddenly realized.

"That's right, thanks to you, my body has evolved again... Ordinary people can't bear this at all, but for you, it is a great tonic that can repair serious damage to the body. How do you feel? Have you got the heat in your body?"

There was a hint of a smile in Nova's voice.

"..."

With a thought, Joyna realized that Nova was helping her recover just now. Not only did she not give up the dialogue effort, but she also left room for peace.

But why?

Nova's operation made her completely unable to deal with it, and she quickly fell silent, very contradictory.

"Obviously you did it first, why do you show kindness to me now?"

"Goodwill...that's a good question. Listen, I have no choice. What you hold is very important to me." Nova shook his head and said, "But no matter what, I will never cheat you. I wanted to wait I'll explain it to you after your health is completely recovered, but now..."

"What about now?"

"This matter is complicated to say. You just need to know that the gene supplement gene is a time bomb in your hands. It needs my evolution to be really useful."

"Hmph, do you think you can fool me with a few words?" Joyner stared at Nova with a sneer.

"You don't know that you have been infected with the mold virus, but I know. I can feel it when you appear in front of me."

"That's true, but going to the laboratory to help you get the gene supplement and infecting me with the mold virus, isn't it what you planned long ago?"

Joyner sneered.

"You only know one thing and don't know the other. At some point the symptoms of the infection will show up, and you'll go limp and unconscious. Only I can use that power, and I'm just using it to fight for myself. I have an advantage, because long-term experience tells me that if I want to survive in this world without being restricted by others, I must first ensure that I am the strongest."

Nova said it calmly, but very rationally, and Joyner understood it all at once.

She didn't hand over the gene augmentation base to Nova, she thought she was threatened, so she resolutely snatched it, just to get the upper hand.

The light of the green fruit disappeared and gradually withered, and all the juice inside flowed into Joyner's body.

Nova slowly stood up from the corner, and the vines crawled back to her body. She saw that Joyner had also recovered her strength, and slowly propped herself up and sat down cross-legged.

It seems that Joyner should not attack herself anymore.

"I'll give you a chance to defeat me personally, but not now." Nova said softly, with heavy gasps in his words, as if the power of Joyner's blow hadn't faded.

"If you want to get the gene supplement so much, why don't you go to that laboratory yourself, but send me there?" Joyner asked suddenly.

"Oh, you're talking about this? So you're here to protest, not simply asking for an explanation~www.readwn.com~ Nova raised his eyelids.

"As I said before, there is always a voice in my head, it is Morgana speaking to me, she has been living in the tree of life, guiding me. Since Morgana trusts you, then I should trust you too .”

"That's not the answer I want." Joyner snorted and raised her chin.

"Calm down, I know this isn't the answer, but it's another reason why I picked you, I need someone like you."

"You think I have something to do with Project Titan." Joyner said coldly.

Nova was noncommittal, and continued, "Whenever I get close to the place where Morgana fell, I will start to have a terrible headache, and there will be a curse-like groan in my head, as if it is about to split.

I had this reaction many years ago, but it was very weak at the beginning, and it became more and more serious later. The last time I went to that place to sort out materials, I might have stayed there for too long, and my body became so weak that I couldn’t even walk, and even passed out for several days, and I couldn’t remember anything after waking up. "

There is such a thing?

After hearing this, Joyner's face was full of doubts and surprises.

"Do you think... something is affecting your body in that place?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's because I have a lot of mental pressure. Anyway, it's weird. It's reflected in my body. It's real... Pain, fear, loss of consciousness, etc., are like some kind of terrible symptoms." Nova's face changed slightly, and his tone changed, "You have to understand, this kind of thing would never have happened to me."

Joyner understood a little.

"You think this kind of symptom needs to be suppressed by gene supplements, but you dare not go in again, so you sent me there like a tool man?"

Nova nodded, "Sorry, in order to find the answer, I have no choice."
