MEMORIES OF THE PAST

The was blood everywhere the and the heads of the white water snake was lying on the ground few meters away from the body which is now moving uncontrollable. Blood kept pouring out of the body of the white water snake and it was adding to the blood pool that was made by Zero. Zero was not doing well himself he was bleeding heavily from all the wounds on his body. He was in so much pain that he could not move his body anymore.

Consuming the level 2 Pure water flower only made his injuries worse, after consuming the Pure water flower rich and pure Spirit Qi flooded every part of his body it felt like been electrocuted by a few million volts of electricity.

Unlike other times when the spirit QI would heal and nature the body the huge amount of Spirit QI from the level 2 herb was like a massive distractive force that was breaking apart Zero body. His internal organs were also damage even his heart was exploded, from the beginning Zero knew that his body could not withstand the consumption of a level 2 herb.

The difference between a level 1 herb and a level 2 herb was massive; a level 2 herb had a thousand times more Spirit Qi than a level 1 herb.

Level 2 herbs are only used by cultivators who have reached Spirit gathering stage and higher, many Body cleansing stage cultivators have died after consuming a level 2 herb. With all that Spirit QI destroying his body Zero knew that he had to get rid of it quickly or it would kill him at any moment now.

At the that moment the white water snake made it charge and attacked Zero with all its might, if nothing to lose Zero channeled all the Spirit QI in his body in make his last sword strike. The sword strike contained such a massive amount of spirit QI that sword caught on fire and the flame was a blazing black flame that gave of the feeling of the deepest part of hell had been unleashed to the world at the head of the white water snake was cut clean off its body.

After killing the white water snake Zero felt depleted of all the Spirit QI, tired and in unbearable pain. His body felt like a sponge that had been left for a long time under extreme heat. Many cultivators have died of spirit QI depletion before and it was now happening to Zero and he was going to die if he did not get into the Spirit pound quickly. The Spirit pound was only seventeen steps away from him normal this would be nothing for him but now that way a near impossible fit.

Zero took the first step and it reminded him of when he was five years old and was at the Children's hospital, he was playing with the other children he fell and cut himself and started to bleed. That was the first time that Zero truly got to experience the horror of his bloods two of the kids got infected by his blood and died within a few minutes. After that incident he was forced to spend an entire year alone. After leaving as year alone Zero changed his name from Jonathan Stark named after the Start Children's Hospital to Patient Zero.

On the second step the memory of his first kidnapping, when Zero was six years old a group of masked gunman came to the hospitals and kidnapped him killing a lot of people in the process. It was thanks to that he then was a policeman in the hospital that had a sick child that he was rescued 2 days later.

The third was the memory of Zero first ever death talk, the younger brother of a girl who was diagnose with terminal cancer just received the news that his sister was going to die soon. The seven year old boy did not take the new well he was too young to understand why the doctors could not save him sister. Zero saw the boy crying alone in the corner of the hospital cafeteria, what followed was a breaking talk that forced the seven year old Zero to grow up and view life in a different light. Zero was forced to except his death that night. The entire doctor in the hospital had different ideas when it came to his blood but the one thing that they all agreed on that he would not live long.

The memories kept coming with every step from the sad memories of seeing every friend he had leave him one way or the other , some were cured and left the hospital and some were beyond help and died at the hospital. Zero witnessed it all from the broken and grieving parents to the sad parent that could not accept the death of their child.

All the memories were filled too much pain that tears were falling nonstop from Zero now.

The last step was the worst of all of them because it was the one thing that Zero could never escape in and that was loneliness.

After the seventeen steps Zero fell into the Spirit pound lost passed out
