There is not much space at the shelter.
But Ni Ji was busy picking up scattered debris and sweeping up the garbage on the ground.
He handed Lin Yuan a bunch of golden flowers that he had picked on the road at some point, and asked Lin Yuan to sit in the corner to pass the time.
The golden petals are like inverted lanterns. Remove the petals and you will find a lot of sweet nectar stored in the bell-shaped calyx. Gently sucking on it will sweeten your mouth.
Lin Yuan was attracted and sat in the corner, opening and eating the flowers one by one.
After she had finished eating the nectar from the entire bunch of petals and discovered that Ni Ji was still busy, Lin Yuan realized that he was embarrassed.
So she waved to Ni Ji, "You should get some sleep."
The first time they entered the bunker, Ni Ji was in charge of the team's guard duty without rest. The second time they experienced a passionate and intense intercourse, after which Lin Yuan fell asleep, while Ni Ji maintained his habit of vigilance to protect the safety of the two.
So Lin Yuan, who was sitting in the corner, waved at Ni Ji and pointed at his legs.
Although it was her first love, she was a very proactive person. Now that she had started, she was determined to work hard to be a qualified partner.
As a guide within the empire, who hasn't been brainwashed by countless romance dramas since childhood
Aren’t there many scenes like this? The guide lets the tired warrior rest his head on his legs, looking gentle and sweet, just like what you should do when you are in love.
Learning and imitating is what Lin Yuan is best at.
Obviously, Ni Ji froze when he heard her words.
The tall and thin sentinel stood in the narrow cave for a long time, looking a little embarrassed and at a loss.
The tentacles could clearly capture his conflicting feelings of being embarrassed and shy but really wanting to come over and lie down.
Without the blessing of the knot heat, God knows how much courage he mustered to take just a few steps, walk to Lin Yuan's side, and lie down.
Finally, he stretched his neck and gently leaned his head against the guide's soft legs.
They were actually very familiar with each other, close comrades who had cooperated with each other many times. Many times, they rested on each other's shoulders when they were particularly tired on the battlefield. When they were injured, they bandaged each other's wounds.
I should be very used to physical contact.
But after yesterday's craze, it seemed that some things were completely different.
Nowadays, any skin contact, any slight touch of fingertips, makes one's scalp tingle, and makes one think of the time when one was tightly entangled with sweat and heat.
The sentry's hair was very soft. In the dim bunker, the shadows of his hair obscured his eyebrows and eyes.
It was difficult to see his expression. From Lin Yuan's perspective, he could only see the cold white jawline and the tip of his ear where his hair was visible. The earlobe was red.
Lin Yuan's fingers stroked the soft hair, and the cold short hair slipped through his fingers again and again.
She knew that she was not good at expressing herself verbally and her personality might not be that good either.
At least in such a quiet and relaxing moment, I can pour my emotions into the actions as much as possible, touch his furry hair, and let Ni Ji feel the gentle treatment and love.
I hope he will recall the relationship between two people, not just about restraint, restriction and bullying.
So that you don't just feel sharp attacks from her.
He should be able to feel more pleasure and enjoyment.
The sentry rested his head on his legs, letting his fingers stroke his hair. After a while, Lin Yuan heard his voice.
"You... can do anything to me."
When two people are together, they are already very used to connecting their spiritual worlds together.
When Lin Yuan felt the sentinel's various emotions, the sentinel could often also sense her various strange thoughts.
You can do anything to me, he said to Lin Yuan. Don't worry about it. I don't dislike anything. It's also good when I recall it.
When he said these words, his face was hidden in the darkness, and his ears were red as if they were about to bleed. Lin Yuan could even notice that his toes were curled up in embarrassment.
But he still expressed his meaning very clearly.
"I'm a sentinel. I have a strong physique and mental image. I'm not that easily injured. You don't have to worry about unnecessary things."
"Just be happy... and do whatever you want to do."
"Hey, got it."
Lin Yuan's fingers gently patted the sentry's strong back, occasionally and very gently, to coax him to sleep.
"I'm doing it. I'm doing what I want to do."
"Loving you."
Doing what I want to do - loving you.
[Wow]
[Wow]
[Hidden Deep]
[Once awakened, such a straight ball, I like it so much]
[The little fish can't stand it anymore. The sea water is boiling.]
The light in the hiding place was very dim. There was the sound of burning fire on the ground. In his hand were letters left by his companions and at his feet was a pile of scattered golden petals.
The fragrance of nectar and the rich aroma of guide element filled the small space.
Lin Yuan tapped his fingers gently, and the sentry's tense muscles finally relaxed slowly, his shoulders relaxed, and his breathing became slow and long.
Tiny strands of sunlight slowly moved along the stone walls at the entrance of the cave until they finally disappeared.
When the stars filled the night sky again, the two of them set out on their journey at full speed once again.
They had gotten enough rest along the way and were in the best mental and physical condition, but their teammates ahead of them were obviously not so lucky.
There are more traces of battle visible along the way.
It is extremely dangerous and disturbing that so many battles have taken place on such a limited journey, but the traces left behind are facts that have already happened and there is no way to change it.
It was precisely because their companions had walked ahead and eliminated all dangers that the two of them were able to move forward so easily and in the best condition.
Later in the walk, Ni Ji suddenly stopped. He found a broken mechanical arm on the land covered with flowers.
The metal prosthesis was in pieces, with a whole piece of the wrist bitten off, revealing various charred wires and metal pipes.
The arm fell here and was burned by the fire in the daytime. It lost its beautiful metallic luster and looked like a piece of black burnt charcoal.
The incomplete fingers were stretched out weakly, lying under the swaying flowers.
Yunluo's arm.
They didn't know what kind of battle they encountered here, even Yunluo's mechanical prosthesis was abandoned.
Lin Yuan and Ni Ji arrived at the next hiding place.
Because they saw Yun Luo's severed hand, the two of them ran at full speed.
When I opened the roof, I was looking forward to seeing the faces of my friends.
The entrance cover was opened and silence fell in the bunker.
No one was waiting inside.
The deserted bunker was even more messy than the last time, with more debris left behind, gauze mixed with blood, eaten food bags and empty medicine packets.
This time, it was Rachel who left a message for Lin Yuan.
Rachel's handwriting was steady and fluent, but her words were not as emotional as Nicole's.
When reading, one is reminded of the sentinel captain with the azure eyes.
Guide Lin:
We laughed at Nicole when she left you a message in the last hideout. We said you couldn't possibly read the letters by chance. I just didn't expect that I was doing the same thing now.
Thinking that Guide Lin and Adjutant Ni Ji were both safe and might have received the letters we left behind, I felt a lot more at ease.
Our recent situation is a bit bad. Du Yuanyuan and Yunluo are both seriously injured.
The most disturbing thing is Guide Nicole. Since entering this hiding place, she has been attacked by mental power and has fallen into a state of being sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious.
There is a powerful spiritual force coming from nowhere that is constantly attacking our guide.
Along the way, Guide Nicole has been participating in battles and also needs to help us Sentinels with treatment and mental counseling. She is already very tired.
We don't know who is attacking her. We can't protect her in this closed space with no way out. So, we decided to leave here as soon as it gets dark and go to the end of Food City to find a solution.
Perhaps, there are more cruel things waiting for us there. Or perhaps, there, we can meet you.
Guide Lin, I originally wanted to say a lot to you, but I think there is no need to say more.
You are a guide, an observer, and always know the gratitude I want to express to you.
All in all, I will always remember you standing on the bamboo raft and pulling the little lion out of the water during that devastating flood.
What I remember more is the changes you brought.
You have given us a new understanding of the relationship between Sentinels and Guides.
The letter was not long. Rachel's name was signed neatly in the signature area, with a simple family crest of the Golden Lion family drawn on it.
Lin Yuan read the letter twice and folded it together with Nicole's.
This letter was left by Rachel during the previous day, several hours later.
However, they were blocked by the rising sun, and they had no choice but to sit underground and wait.
The waiting was suffocating.
The temperature on the ground was rising, the fire was raging, and the hearts of people underground were also burning.
Lin Yuan's little face, which had become lively, returned to its previous expressionless state.
She sat in the corner, hugging her knees, staring at the shadow on the ground with a dazed look on her face that looked like a ceramic mask.
Even the nectar that Ni Ji handed to her couldn't attract her attention.
Just pinch the petals between your fingertips and rub them repeatedly until the golden petals are crushed and your hands are stained with flower juice.
"We're very close." Ni Ji spread the map in front of the two of them.
It was a very incomplete map, but he used a pen to mark on the map all the giant amusement facilities he saw along the way.
"Next night, we will reach the end." Ni Ji's pen tip touched the end of the line he drew, "We will meet them there."
"Rachel is an experienced veteran, and so is Yunluo. I'm not sure I can fight against Du Yuanyuan." Ni Ji said, "Nicole is also very strong."
The temperature on the ground was extremely high, but it was very cool in the underground cave, and a dim light shone on Ni Ji's face.
He squatted beside Lin Yuan, pointed at the map with his pen-holding finger, and looked at Lin Yuan with a firm gaze.
Just like he was sure that his companions would be fine, and firmly believed that they would eventually meet at the finish line.
"They are all strong ones," said Ni Ji.
Lin Yuan hummed.
A little warmth rose in my body again, and I put the opened petals into my mouth with my fingers. The hint of sweetness made my heartbeat steady again.
The sentinel reached out and removed the petals from her lips. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head and kissed her.
This was the first time Ni Ji took the initiative to ask for a kiss, very gently, and separated at the first touch. Her cheeks were already red.
"There is a powerful enemy who is good at mental attacks." Ni Ji's fingers lingered on Lin Yuan's cheek, gently stroking for a moment, and then retracted, "So you should rest well and stay in the best condition."
Lin Yuan licked his lips.
Very sweet, fully replenished with energy.
He is by her side, such a big piece of candy, a human-shaped granary, which is her pheromone and placebo.
So there is nothing to be afraid of. It is much better than when I was alone.
Lin Yuan held the two letters in his hands, leaned on the sentry's shoulder and closed his eyes.
Indistinctly, the tentacles of the spiritual power stretched to extremely thin and ran far away.
The slender tip lightly touched a powerful spiritual body.
There, there vaguely seems to be a colorful castle and countless shed white shells.
In the distance, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, and their cold gazes crossed the space and looked towards here.
When Lin Yuan opened his eyes.
Ni Ji had already stood up and was ready to go. The temperature on the ground was still very hot, the sun's spot was still in the distance, and the anger had not completely subsided. They rushed forward in the scorching heat.
When the last bit of white disappeared from the horizon behind, a colorful castle appeared in the sea of flowers in front.
It was a small castle made of colorful stones.
The stars are rolling overhead, the earth is covered with a sea of flowers, and a small castle with a pointed roof stands between heaven and earth.
That's where the column is.
The origin of the entire Food City pollution zone. The pillar that supports the formation, expansion, and stable operation of this alien space to this day.
The most dangerous and mysterious central area of this small world.
In the wilderness surrounding the little castle, empty sloughs of skin were standing or lying.
The pale, huge, translucent skin slough retains the final form of the internal body before it leaves.
Like sculptures standing in a sea of flowers, they face the castle quietly and stand in the sea of flowers.
Lin Yuan and Ni Ji walked carefully under those huge shells.
A breeze blew, lifting the petals on the ground, and the whole area was quiet.
Those huge bodies remained silent and motionless. They did not react to the two humans passing by them. When the two people passed by, no giant creatures sleeping underground jumped out to attack.
Everything seemed eerily quiet.
Lin Yuan looked at the sculptures carefully.
At the beginning, it could be seen as a hybrid of some kind of biological and human genes.
Later on, the detached shells became increasingly strange, with the wings, carapaces and pedipalps of various insects blending into one, mixed with the fur and limbs of mammals.
It was as if a divine hand stretched out from nowhere, roughly pinched all the creatures on earth, rolled them into a ball, and irresponsibly abandoned them here.
Those pale, shed husks stood all the way across the wilderness, surrounding the castle.
Even outside the castle gate, there are two "sculptures" with human appearance standing on the left and right.
The huge molt has a beautiful face, and it looks down at the intruder.
The two faces looked identical, but their bodies were incomplete and hollow inside. One could vaguely tell from their body structures that one was a male and the other was a female.
Ni Ji stretched out his hand and pushed open the castle's door. The heavy door creaked and opened easily.
The light inside the castle was dim, and apart from the sound of the door opening, there was no sound at all.
There is a stained glass window high up, and the moonlight shines through the stained glass, casting colorful shadows that sway slowly in the dim courtyard.
Ni Ji observed for a moment, then took the lead and walked inside.
He pointed his finger quietly, giving Lin Yuan a secret signal.
Lin Yuan looked in the direction of his finger. In a very inconspicuous corner beside the gate, he saw a mark smeared with blood.
She was very familiar with the symbol, having seen it on a piece of letter paper not long ago.
This was the tip her companions left for her.
Rachel and his group had entered this strange castle not long ago.
