After some time, the protagonist regained his consciousness.
He realized that he was still in that room and was lying beside the corpses of mutated creatures.
However, the state of his health had improved tremendously. The feverish symptoms that he had after contracting the virus had disappeared.
A little girl was hiding behind an abandoned cabinet. She was staring at him with curiosity and wariness.
The protagonist tried communicating with the girl using various languages. He discovered that the girl seemed to understand Chinese but was unable to respond. She pointed at her mouth and then shook her hands.
"Oh. She can't speak. Is she a character in the story plot?" Chen Sha wondered.
The plot continued.
The protagonist stood up and approached the girl with a friendly demeanor and tried to talk to her. Through that, he discovered that she was the one who saved him.
