It had been so long since his death that his skin could no longer contain the smell of rotting flesh and blood.
However, apart from Yuan Yuxue, no one seemed to notice the strange smell on him, nor did they notice the abnormality of the deputy captain who came to talk to him.
The guests walked forward with elegant manners and smiles, stretched out their hands, and the wine glasses slightly clinked. The wine inside swayed and even slightly bumped into each other's glasses—
Of course, Jie Zhouyan might have noticed the smell of the dead man.
But he seemed to be used to this smell. He just glanced at it and was too lazy to pay any more attention to it.
The vice-captain's goal is also very clear.
He leaned forward slightly and whispered something in Captain Zhuang's ear, and Captain Zhuang showed a surprised look at the same time and took two steps in his direction. The two whispered a few words, and then he nodded slightly to the others as if he was very apologetic, "I have something else to do, I'll leave first."
Although the others felt sorry, they guessed that it might be the expedition team's business, and it would be inappropriate to force them to follow. They still considerately left the other party a safe distance.
"Captain Zhuang, let's meet again next time?"
"This is a personal invitation. Mr. Zhuang, please come and give me the honor next time."
Captain Zhuang agreed to all the requests with a polite attitude.
Its eyes swept over these people quite secretly and greedily, trying to figure out which of them could be used as high-quality incubators.
Just as it was about to leave shoulder to shoulder with the deputy captain, it heard an extremely cold voice coming from behind.
"Wait a moment."
Yuan Yuxue actually seldom speaks, but almost everyone can recognize his voice.
Because his voice is extremely cold and pleasant, it is very distinctive.
The warm and dry air at the banquet was more like a handful of fine snow falling into my heart. Just talking to him was like some kind of enjoyment.
But for the Zerg at this moment, it was extremely disgusted that this human spoke out to stop it.
The increasingly strong sense of vigilance and danger made it uncharacteristically impatient.
Reluctantly turning around, it showed a somewhat embarrassed look and said to Yuan Yuxue, "Is there anything else? Teacher Yuan, I am currently unable to travel. Perhaps we can chat in private at another time."
Compared to Yuan Yuxue's previous neglect of it, its behavior was almost like a sign of weakness. Anyone who saw it would think that Yuan Yuxue was looking for trouble with it and was too aggressive.
But when Yuan Yuxue stepped forward, she completely ignored it and focused her attention on the deputy captain.
Obviously, the "wait a moment" he just said was directed to the deputy captain.
Zerg: "..."
This makes it seem that its previous euphemism for refusal was extremely self-indulgent.
However, before the Zerg could continue to harbor murderous intentions, what happened next forced it to focus on controlling the puppet.
At this time, Yuan Yuxue came closer, his dark eyelashes drooped slightly, as if hiding a shadow, and it was impossible to see the emotion in his eyes.
"Catch him." Yuan Yuxue's tone suddenly turned cold, as if she had confirmed something.
Those eyes slightly raised, and the face of the person in front of them was reflected in the dark pupils, "Don't let him leave."
