"Don't worry, I didn't kill Dr. Dark. He is yours, and I will leave him to you to deal with."
Meeting Su Shi's gaze, the trace of blood in Yuan Zheng's eyes faded away, and he carefully carried him into the car and asked him to pillow him on his shoulder.
Before the guards chased them out, the deputy team had already turned around with ease, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of base B, looked at the captain who was concentrating on putting people to sleep from the rearview mirror, and there was still some shock in his eyes: "Captain, when did you get promoted? S rank?"
After fighting side by side for so long, they are all very familiar with Yuan Zheng's ability. With Yuan Zheng's original strength, it was almost impossible to blow up an entire laboratory from such a distance and accurately save the life of the person inside.
When you go to the base to rescue people, you can't openly drive an armored vehicle over. The car was snatched up impromptu, and the gas pedal was pressed to the bottom, and the cold wind kept pouring in from the broken window.
Su Shi was almost surrounded by Yuan Zheng in his arms, avoiding the cold wind safely, and when he heard the deputy team's words, he also raised his eyes to look at Yuan Zheng.
There was a heart-warming concern in the dark pupils, Yuan Zheng looked down at him, rubbed his hair with a smile, and said in a soft and low voice, "Thanks to the crystal core you gave me, I was still close to upgrading. Some distance away, after waking up, I found that your crystal nucleus directly helped me break that layer of barrier."
Wood can make fire, and the strength of the fire element will increase, and the light element will naturally become stronger.
Su Shi nodded in satisfaction, closed his eyes and leaned back again, and couldn't help dozing off after a while.
Yuan Zheng sat upright, embracing him motionless, couldn't help stroking the soft ends of his hair with his fingertips again, his eyes fell thoughtfully, looking at the man who suddenly let go of all defenses and leaned quietly in his arms people.
That vague dream suddenly reappeared.
At the time of death and life, no one could tell whether it was a fragmented memory or some kind of bizarre hallucination.
He could feel that he remembered something, but it seemed that he had touched some kind of rule and was erased again, leaving only a vague memory.
The body has memory, the soul has memory, some things in the body seem to be completely reset, and the missing piece is finally made up, so the whole person suddenly becomes more real and complete than ever before.
He didn't know if the other party suddenly stopped being wary and avoided his hug because he was aware of it.
The soft kiss fell down, carefully touching the slightly fluttering eyelashes, and they were separated as soon as they were touched.
The trip was safe, and the bloodthirsty forest seemed to know the identity of the visitors, and did not make any obstacles, allowing them to return to the infinite city smoothly.
Su Shi never woke up again, and Yuan Zheng didn't call for help, but carried him back to his own room, and laid him on the bed lightly.
Falling from the crook of his arms on the bed, the person wrapped in the quilt was still asleep, and he didn't even notice such a disturbance at all.
The fierce battle and the pain all over his body had already exhausted his energy, and Yuan Zheng had already noticed that the next moment when those bright black eyes met him, he let out surprises along with surprise, There is also a deep and tired look that has already reached its limit.
So nothing seemed to matter anymore.
Yuan Zheng sat by the bed and watched him until the sky gradually darkened. The warm light fell on the delicate eyebrows and eyes, casting a faint shadow, which suddenly blurred all the edges and corners and alienation.
The throbbing finally broke through the limit of reason, Yuan Zheng couldn't help hugging the body that was quietly curled up in the quilt, held his breath and bent down.
The person who was asleep suddenly opened his eyes.
Wu Run's pupils looked at him seriously, he didn't avoid it, but he didn't take the initiative to meet him, as if he was still trying to confirm something.
Yuan Zheng's movements paused, and he suddenly woke up, and suddenly pushed back: "I'm sorry..."
"Can you make hot cocoa?"
Su Shi spoke suddenly, his voice was a little hoarse after sleeping for most of the day, and he tried to sit up with his body supported.
Yuan Zheng had stretched out his arms to hold him and sat him down, and handed him the warm water at the table.
Taking a few sips of warm water, Su Shi finally relieved the thirst in his throat. Su Shi looked up at him, seeing the other person's blank expression, and repeated seriously: "Do you know how to make hot cocoa?"
When we met again, all the subtle violations and alienation seemed to have completely disappeared. He already had a premonition in his heart, but he still didn't dare to make a hasty confirmation like this.
Yuan Zheng was stunned for a moment, his expression relaxed, and he rubbed the young man's soft short hair: "Do you want to drink? I don't know if there is anyone producing cocoa powder in the last days. I will go to the supermarket to look for it and see if I can find it."
Su Shi was anxious to confirm, and immediately took the key off his neck and stuffed it into his hand.
After taking the key he handed over, everything he wanted to say was blocked back. Yuan Zheng chuckled hoarsely, and met the silent urging in his black eyes, his tone was still gentle and indulgent: "So anxious? Then wait, I Just go and see...”
Before he finished speaking, Su Shi had already slipped out of his arms neatly, and got back into a ball wrapped in the quilt again.
Unexpectedly, his status was not as good as that of Hot Coco, Yuan Zheng finally couldn't help laughing, stood up in a good-tempered manner, and deliberately teased him with a smile: "Urging me to leave in such a hurry, don't you want to cook noodles?"
Hearing him mention cooking noodles, Su Shi couldn't help but feel moved, and was about to change his mind, but his face couldn't help but collapse.
Dr. Darkness cleaned the pot for him, but he didn't have time to take it with him when he left. It must have been blown up along with the laboratory.
These days, he has developed the ability to look at pictures and speak. Yuan Zheng leaned over curiously, looked at the other person's expression, sat back on the bed and rubbed his head: "Is the pot really lost? It doesn't matter, I just happened to go Supermarket, bring some more for you, okay?"
"I'll go too."
Don't worry about holding the pot by yourself, Su Shi immediately pulled himself together, jumped off the bed, took out his clothes and put them on neatly. Shaking with the Nepenthes that he carried with him, suddenly a lot of bottles and jars were poured out, and he pushed them all over to Yuan Zheng.
Looking at his movements in surprise, Yuan Zheng picked up a reagent bottle and looked at it, his expression changed slightly: "Where did this come from?"
"The laboratory, I brought out all the useful ones."
Su Shi concentrated on emptying the inner space of the pitcher plant, and finally felt satisfied, then turned his hands back into the seeds to put them away, and grabbed Yuan Zheng's wrist.
Facing the rare nervous anticipation in those eyes, even Yuan Zheng couldn't help wondering what hot cocoa tasted like. Being eagerly led by the person in front of him to take two steps forward, and feeling inexplicably satisfied, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and firmly held that hand with his backhand, shielding him from the chill of the night.
The two went to the supermarket overnight and brought back a lot of pot, but they still couldn't find the cocoa powder.
After the end of the world, factories in various places have been greatly reduced. After barely restoring stability and restarting production, a large number of unnecessary production lines have also been stopped, and everything has been transformed into infinite practicality. Chocolate can still be regarded as a necessity to carry around to supplement physical strength. Drinks such as cocoa powder that need to be brewed and prepared have long since disappeared in supermarkets in the last days.
Su Shi didn't give up, and went around the supermarket a few more times before finally realizing the reality, and Yuan Zheng took him back listlessly.
"It doesn't matter. This is just a supermarket. There may be a production line in one of the bases that is still in operation. I will continue to look for it."
It was the first time to see the disappointment and discouragement in those eyes, but it made the whole person seem to have more real and fresh breath. A helpless and warm smile filled Yuan Zheng's eyes, he rubbed his head comfortingly, pulled him into his arms, and skillfully cooked noodles for him.
Although I don't know why he cares so much about hot cocoa, since the two came back, Mu Shi no longer resisted his approach, and even ran to him when he was cold or hungry, which made Yuan Zheng feel it. Very pleased.
Two ham sausages were added to the instant noodles, and Yuan Zheng also found a pack of unexpired cheese from the supermarket, and specially put a slice in it for him.
The hot air was churning, and the crystal clear ice color fell on the window.
Su Shi's gaze couldn't help but fall on it, looked at it for a while, then raised his head to meet Yuan Zheng's gaze: "What's going on outside, are you still hunting you?"
These days they all stayed in the Infinite City, the life here was very comfortable, and the supplies stored were sufficient. The team members get along very well with the residents of the city. In the cold end of the world, this place has almost become a real paradise.
But he was very clear that Yuan Zheng's thoughts were still outside the city.
They are the first generation born in the last days. Yuan Zheng was trained by the base as a guardian since he was a child. Even though he has been betrayed by his own base, he still can't let go of the responsibility in his heart.
No matter how corrupt the high-level is, most of the soldiers and residents below are innocent. People are struggling to survive in the cold winter with no hope. The cruel environment determines the cold law, but the emotional connection still cannot be erased.
Facing the concern in his eyes, Yuan Zheng was slightly startled, his brows softened, and he handed him the cooked noodles: "It's strange, but there hasn't been much news recently. The base has even completely blocked all exits and stopped all missions going out. , like something happened inside."
Thinking of the promise Dr. Darkness made to himself at that time, Su Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, counting the time, and he had a rough premonition in his heart: "I was sent to the laboratory, and when I was half awake, I heard that Dr. Darkness and Sun Shuo were plotting something. …”
As soon as the words fell, the body that was holding her was really tense, and it seemed as if she suddenly remembered something, and gradually relaxed again.
Su Shi didn't intend to ask him to avoid him just like that, put down the pot and got up, and met Yuan Zheng's vaguely complicated gaze without avoiding it: "I know exactly what he will do. You have to go back to save base B, otherwise there will It will become a second hell."
There was no hatred or resentment in the pure black pupils, but she just looked at him persistently, her eyes were clear and dust-free, as if she was talking about a very normal thing.
Yuan Zheng's eyes suddenly became hot, he took a deep breath and stood up, hugging him tightly.
Ten years ago, the person in my arms returned from hell, scarred and helpless, but still chose to forgive and remain silent.
When Mu Shi manipulated the ability enough to destroy the entire base, he made the bunch of daisies bloom in his hands, and handed them to them with bright eyes.
That heart has always been as bright as crystal, and it will not be stained with dust even after going through darkness, he should have understood it long ago.
"Go... let's go back."
The arms tightened for a moment, and the warm touch filled the embrace. Yuan Zheng closed his eyes, paused for a moment on Su Shi's neck, and straightened up again, with a new light in his eyes.
Base B has turned into a city of the living and the dead.
Pedestrians were walking on the road, but were connected behind their heads by a transparent line, their eyes were dull and their feet were staggering. Except for the lack of ferocious faces and sharp claws, they were almost no different from zombies.
"how so… "
The assaulter's expression changed again and again, and he stopped a person from trying to ask about the situation, but no matter how much he questioned him, or even grabbed his collar and shook him vigorously, the other person didn't respond.
Everyone became more and more uneasy, the deputy team glanced across the street corner, and the voice suddenly sank: "Be careful, someone is coming!"
A group of figures carrying wooden sticks and iron pipes are coming towards the direction of the team members. These people's physical fitness is very average. At first glance, they look like ordinary people without supernatural powers. Their expressions are also empty and numb, as if they just accepted some established rules Order.
The team members were not even sure whether they should fight back, and retreated hesitantly, but one of them had already rushed over with an iron rod and slammed the doctor on the head.
Su Shi rolled up the vine in his hand and dragged the doctor away. A cluster of flames flashed across Yuan Zheng's fingertips, and burned off the thin transparent thread at the back of the man's head. The man's movements immediately stopped in the middle, and with a random push, he fell stiffly to the ground.
Although he knew that Dr. Darkness was indeed going to do something that a villain should do, he never thought that he would do this.
Su Shi's eyes sank, he took out a seed and patted it on the ground, the roots spread in all directions, closed his eyes to receive the information for a moment, and then walked quickly towards the core building.
The laboratory had been blown up by Yuan Zheng, and in the basement of the core building, the pale-faced Dr. Darkness was firmly blocked.
"You guys, don't come here!"
Dr. Darkness had been beaten out of his memory, and when he saw Yuan Zheng, he was frightened out of his wits, and hurriedly hid behind Sun Shuo.
Sun Shuo's eyes were red, and his expression was not sober. Those transparent threads were actually connected to his body, and a steady stream of energy was extracted from the entire base and poured into his body.
Yuan Zheng's gaze sank slightly, signaling the team members to wait outside the door, exchanged glances with Su Shi, and walked into the room together.
Both of them had their own targets to deal with. The moment they entered the door, Yuan Zheng's figure shot towards Sun Shuo violently. Su Shi avoided the two people who were fighting fiercely, went straight to Dr. Darkness hiding in the corner, and dragged him out of the room. The deep purple orchid petals spread out on his back, and he carried the man away in the air.
"Little wood!"
The assaulter shouted quickly, and was about to catch up, but was stopped by the deputy team, his eyes were complicated for a moment: "Tell him to go."
The source of all the pain and darkness in Mu Shi came from Dr. Darkness. Even if the other party can not hate humans, and even follow them to rescue the predicament of Base B, no one will stop him from personally disposing of that evil careerist.
Su Shi dragged Dr. Darkness to the roof, distracted himself from the battle in the basement for a while, and then he was completely relieved.
It was really a battle without any suspense. If it weren't for the fact that the protagonist needs to be trained by an opponent of comparable strength after being promoted to S rank, he might not have kept Sun Shuo until now.
Finally separated from the crowd, Dr. Darkness heaved a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly followed up eagerly: "Are you finally going to kill me?"
Su Shi nodded thoughtfully, and the vines on his cuffs flashed, suddenly wrapped him around his waist, and flung him high along the roof.
The screams pierced the dead air in the base. Su Shi pulled his hand back and lay down on the edge of the building to look at him kindly: "How many experience points did you transfer to me?"
"Five, five hundred—"
Dr. Darkness trembled, his body dropped rapidly again, and the last swastika yelled heart-piercingly.
Startled by the magnanimity of the opponent, Su Shi, who had been impoverished for several worlds, couldn't help but groaned slightly, and pulled him back by mentioning the vines: "I'm shocked, do you have any favorite way to die?"
"Give me a good time..."
Doctor Dark lay dying on the edge of the building, sobbing and begging in a low voice.
The world isn't over yet, and it's not yet possible to directly view experience points. Su Shi reckoned that the other party would not lie to him about this kind of thing, so he nodded and got up to leave. Suddenly, poisonous thorns with anesthetic effect appeared from the vines behind him.
He just felt like something had pierced his skin, but he didn't feel much pain. Dr. Darkness finally heaved a sigh of relief, closed his eyes dizzily, his figure suddenly fluctuated twice, and disappeared out of thin air as a stream of data.
Back in the basement, Yuan Zheng had already dealt with Sun Shuo thoroughly.
Su Shi did not manipulate Sun Shuo. After all, the opponent was powerful, and Yuan Zheng also suffered some serious injuries. Panting lightly, she stood up, met the quiet gaze from the door, and the murderous intent between her brows dissipated in an instant, returning to a clear and gentle scene.
Su Shi also raised the corners of his lips, and walked towards him quickly: "Blow those wires, and I'll fix the main computer."
The golden flame ignited blazingly, cutting off the path controlling the entire base, and Su Shi also neatly terminated the program run by Dr. Darkness.
The residents and soldiers under control finally regained consciousness, and the lifeless base became active again.
Yuan Zheng originally planned to solve the crisis of the base and leave with the patrol team completely, but because all the high-level personnel of the base had been eliminated by Dr. Darkness, he had no choice but to stay and became the temporary leader of Base B.
Dr. Dark left behind a large amount of experimental data, some of which are cruel human experiments, and some are extremely precious inventions and discoveries. Yuan Zheng deliberately handed over the task of sorting out the data to the deputy team, picking out useful ones for experiments, and completely burning the rest.
Sitting in the new office, Yuan Zheng flipped through the overall information of the base, but still held a stainless steel cup with one hand.
There were a few pieces of broken chocolate in the teacup. He couldn't find cocoa powder, so he could only look around for pure cocoa butter chocolate, trying to melt them in reverse, and see if he could satisfy Mu Shi.
Thinking of the other party's rare and willful request, Yuan Zheng's eyes couldn't help but warm slightly, and the corners of his lips curled up in a gentle and gentle arc.
As he was walking, the door that was open was suddenly knocked lightly.
Yuan Zheng looked back, met the deputy team's hesitant gaze, and couldn't help but frowned slightly: "What's the matter, did you find anything?"
Be prudent in dealing with things in the direction, tidying up the study is not a very important matter, logically there is no need for him to read anything. Yuan Zheng felt inexplicably uneasy, but still settled down and watched him walk in step by step.
The deputy team did not speak, but spread out a note and placed it on the desk in front of him.
Yuan Zheng glanced through the ten lines at a glance, and his face sank.
"It says that the source of Xiaoshi's ability is the hope of this world. As long as the tree of life that condenses hope is planted, the end of the world will begin to end, the power of purification will spread, and everything will become the same..."
Although his expression was struggling, the deputy team still finished reading the note in a low voice, raised his hand to hold it down, and even looked at Yuan Zheng with pleading eyes.
"Captain, it's just because Dr. Darkness hates Xiaoshi and wants to drag Xiaoshi to be buried with him even if he dies, so he deliberately asked us to see it, right?"
Yuan Zheng didn't answer his words, but just took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, the blood in his eyes almost showed.
The blue sky, the clear water, the clean air, there will be no more dangers and zombies everywhere, the society will have real rules again, even weak people are qualified to survive, and the cold and cruel instincts will be suppressed. Redeemed by a new hope.
This is the dream each of them are fighting for.
If this note is true, they have no choice at all, they hope more than anyone else that this is just a conspiracy by the dark doctor to vent his anger, it is just a trap that has been painstakingly set.
Yuan Zheng's arms even started to tremble faintly, his gaze sank completely, and his voice became hoarse: "You're right, it won't be such an easy thing."
As he said that, his fingertips were already on fire, and he was about to pick up the notebook and burn it, when a familiar voice suddenly came from the door: "What are you looking at?"
The entire core building was unconditionally open to Mu Shi. Seeing that the expressions of both of them were extremely solemn, Su Shi couldn't help but feel a little curious, and walked into the office quickly before the two of them had time to hide the note.
Putting away the notes now would seem too much of a cover-up. Yuan Zheng’s heart was pounding, he pushed the notes aside, forced himself to calm down, and raised his head with a gentle expression: “It’s nothing important, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat..."
Su Shi's eyes had already landed on the table.
The breathing of the two of them stagnated almost instantly, their throats were extremely dry, and they couldn't make any sound for no reason. They watched those bright black eyes sweep across the table, and finally landed on Yuan Zheng's hand.
The author has something to say:
Then he picked up the cup in Yuan Zheng's hand.
#I think you don't really love me#
#Your love is obviously hot cocoa#
