Lian Chuan's fingers were as cold as the ground outside which had been blown by the cold wind all year round.
This was not the first time that Ning Gu was pinched by Lian Chuan. Lian Chuan's fingers were warm before.
From this point he could judge that Lian Chuan's current condition was not good, and the control device in the black box should not have failed. Lian Chuan was able to wake up probably because of his strong mental power.
sharp.
Ning Gu admired him very much.
He would be even more impressed if Lian Chuan took his hand off his neck.
However, the atmosphere in the clinic was so tense that Ning Gu felt that he would not be able to escape from the current situation for a while.
Ning Gu had a small understanding of how Lian Chuan's decisiveness was trained... or forced out of him. If the captain and the others took action, Lian Chuan would probably really be ruthless to him.
So, for his own safety, he squeezed out a few words from his throat: "Don't try, he can do it."
After a brief silence, Li Xiang spoke up: "Then let's discuss the terms."
"Give me the uniform." Lian Chuan said.
The three people on the opposite side were obviously hesitant at this request and did not move.
Lian Chuan's fingers suddenly retracted.
Ning Gu was suddenly unable to speak or even breathe, and he waved to the captain desperately, but he didn't have time to tell them that Lian Chuan's uniform had defensive devices.
Li Xiang walked to the box, picked up a black stick connected to a string on the bed frame next to it, and touched it on the uniform first.
"It's closed." Lian Chuan said.
Ning Gu breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiang put down the stick in his hand.
The uniform was fixed to the inside of the box lid with several buckles. He tried several times but couldn't open it.
Ning Gu was a little anxious. His judgment of Lian Chuan was accurate. In this situation, Lian Chuan didn't even bother to act. The fingers on his throat were more precise than shackles. There was not even a hint of looseness. At the speed at which Li Xiang was removing the uniform, he might have suffocated to death by the time Lian Chuan got the uniform.
He had to raise his hand and pull Lian Chuan's fingers out.
Lian Chuan finally relaxed a little, and he quickly took two breaths.
Li Xiang threw the uniform at Lian Chuan's feet.
"Help me put it on." Lian Chuan said.
"Who?" The team leader couldn't help but ask. This request sounded really strange.
"Ning Gu." Lian Chuan said.
"Are you sick?" Ning Gu spoke as soon as he could breathe.
"No." Lian Chuan answered truthfully.
"Can't you wear it yourself?" Ning Gu asked.
"It's possible in Lost Valley," Lianchuan said, "but not here."
Ning Gu understood what he meant. When facing the Traveler, he could not be distracted, especially these three in front of him, who had real powerful abilities. The slightest deviation could lead to the loss of the initiative.
In order to get out of the stalemate as soon as possible, Ning Gu slowly squatted down and picked up Lian Chuan's uniform.
Lian Chuan's hands were always on his neck.
He looked at Lian Chuan's pants and said, "If you don't take off this pajamas, you won't be able to wear the uniform. I'm going to pull your pants off now."
Lian Chuan said nothing.
Ning Gu grabbed Lian Chuan's pants and pulled them.
fine.
Just like in the Lost Valley, Lianchuan had clothes under his pajamas.
However, even if Lian Chuan still had a set of fitting clothes inside, this scene was still quite weird. If someone saw it and spread it, it would immediately become the first of the top ten unsolved mysteries of the ghost town.
Ning Gu shook his uniform pants as quickly as possible, reached to Lian Chuan's legs, quickly put the pants over his legs, and then pulled them up swiftly.
The movement was a bit too quick, and the lift might have been a bit too harsh.
Lian Chuan's fingers, which had been loosened a little, tightened instantly and he glanced at him.
Ning Gu stared at him in silence for two seconds, then pulled his pants down slightly.
Lian Chuan slapped his hand away, touched the waistband of his pants, and the belt tightened automatically.
Compared to pants, clothes are much easier.
After putting on only one sleeve, Lian Chuan released the hand that was holding his throat and put on his clothes himself.
After a horizontal blue light swept across the uniform from bottom to top, Lian Chuan looked up at the captain: "I have the information you want."
"About what?" Lin Fan asked.
"Betelgeuse." Lianchuan said.
Lin Fan fell silent and exchanged glances quickly with the team leader and Li Xiang.
"You mean you are Betelgeuse." Li Xiang said.
"I am not only Betelgeuse," Lianchuan said, "I am also an unconventional precursor experimental subject."
Li Xiang was silent.
After a while, he glanced at Ning Gu and said, "Ning Gu, you go out first."
"No." Ning Gu said.
"We can't hurt him now." Lin Fan said.
"I'm not doing this for this." Ning Gu said.
"Go out first!" the leader said, "I'll talk to you alone if there's anything else!"
This familiar serious tone made Ning Gu subconsciously turn around, take two steps and look back at Lian Chuan.
Lian Chuan's face, which always remained expressionless, remained expressionless, and nothing could be seen in his eyes.
Okay.
Ning Gu opened the door and walked out.
The medical facility is located underground, not very deep. A small slanted tunnel only takes a few dozen meters to return to the ground.
As soon as he stuck his head out of the tunnel, Ning Gu wanted to turn around.
There were dozens of travelers standing outside, and Ning Gu knew all of them. They were elders in various shelters who could be talked to, and some of them were quite old.
Ning Gu stayed there for a few seconds and then walked out of the tunnel.
The wind was blowing hard, so he pulled his goggles off his head, put them over his eyes, and slowly walked towards the crowd.
These people would not scold him. Only ordinary travelers would surround him and curse him in such a situation. It was normal for them to fight. When these people looked at him, they were probably more confused and sad.
Ning Gu silently walked through the silent group and headed towards his own cabin.
Halfway through the journey he changed his mind and went in another direction, following the path towards the Nail and Hammer's hut.
The hut is at the northern edge of Station No. 1, and Station No. 2 is beyond it.
There was still some distance to go, but Ning Gu could see that the hut was dark, without the light from the cold light bottle.
He paused. What happened
Although he knew there should be no one in the hut, he stopped for a while and continued to walk to the side of the hut. Even if there was no one there, he would still take a look. There would always be some traces in the hut.
"Nail?" he whispered outside.
No one responded.
"Hammer?" he called again.
He heard footsteps behind him and turned around. The footsteps were from Hammer.
But before he could see Hammer's face clearly, his feet suddenly felt empty and he fell to the ground.
At the same time, Hammer bent down and pressed his hands on the ground.
"With your identity, how could the main city send you to a ghost town?" The team leader looked at Lian Chuan.
Lian Chuan sat on the chair: "My last usefulness is to be put in a ghost town."
"Undercover?" Li Xiang smiled.
"Yes." Lian Chuan replied.
"The undercover agent switched sides as soon as he opened his eyes," Li Xiang looked at him, "The main city wouldn't be doing something so inappropriate, right?"
"If not," Lian Chuan also looked at him, "I can't move an inch in this ghost town."
Li Xiang didn't say anything. After staring at him for a while, he turned to look at the team leader and Lin Fan.
It was hard to tell whether Lian Chuan's words were true or false. His expression and eyes did not change from beginning to end, and there was no trace of any slight flaws.
Now they were suddenly in trouble.
"How can we trust you?" the team leader said, "You have been in the main city for more than 20 years. You are the strongest member of the cleanup team. You must be very respected..."
"You don't believe me, but you can't kill me now," Lian Chuan said.
"What do you want?" Lin Fan asked.
"Ning Gu." Lian Chuan replied.
The leader's face instantly darkened: "Impossible."
"You have no say." Lian Chuan said.
"What do you want Ning Gu to help you with?" Lin Fan asked.
"This is not something you need to worry about," Lian Chuan stood up and walked to the leader, "Let him help me. When he finds out about what happened between you and the main city, I'll be the only one who can stop him."
Hammer kicked Ning Gu hard on the back.
Before Ning Gu could catch his breath, he was kicked in the stomach again.
He gritted his teeth and endured, unable to move or speak. When the hammer was angry, its power was much stronger than usual.
He hoped that Hammer would scold him, a few words, so that he could at least understand what was going on.
But Hammer remained silent and just kept kicking and kicking him hard.
Something happened to the nail.
Ning Gu closed his eyes, and something big happened.
He was a little anxious, hoping that the hammer would hit him harder so that he could quickly get out the anger that was stuck in his chest, giving him a chance to ask.
But Hammer displayed amazing physical strength and endurance that were never seen under normal circumstances. He kicked one after another in a variety of ways, and except for the head and crotch, no part of the body missed.
When the hammer suddenly stopped moving, Ning Gu didn't even open his eyes, he just thought that he was finally tired and needed to rest.
"Let me go!" Hammer growled in a low voice.
Ning Gu opened his eyes.
The first thing you see is the cleanup team's uniforms with blue lights.
The power of the hammer had been retracted. He quickly jumped up from the ground and grabbed Lian Chuan's arm: "Let him go!"
"Let him go," Lian Chuan glanced at him, "he will beat you soon."
"No," Ning Gu said confidently. Hammer had already let out a breath, and now it was time to scold him, "Let go."
Lian Chuan loosened his grip on Hammer's arm.
Ning Gu looked at the hammer: "Hammer..."
The hammer hit him on the nose.
It happened suddenly and caught Ning Gu off guard. He glanced at Lian Chuan when he fell to the ground.
He is indeed a dog. Lian Chuan could obviously help him stop it this time.
"If I had known you were colluding with the hyenas!" Hammer pounced on him and swung his fist at him, "I wouldn't have brought you with me in the main city! I should have let the bats kill you!"
"Where are the nails?" Ning Gu protected his head.
"I should be the one asking you!" the hammer shouted, "Where's the nail? Where's my brother?"
Ning Gu found the right opportunity and grabbed Hammer's wrist. He bent his legs and pushed Hammer to the ground, pressing his knee on his chest: "What happened to Nail?"
"I'm asking you!" The hammer's voice suddenly became filled with tears, "He's gone! The nail is gone!"
"How come he's gone!" Ning Gu roared.
"He went to Tongue Bay, he must have gone to Tongue Bay," Hammer cried out, his voice gradually getting lower and lower, "After you left, he always wanted to go to Tongue Bay... Because you always go... What on earth did you do..."
After the door of the cabin was slammed shut with a hammer, Ning Gu stood outside for a long time.
The nail went to Tongue Bay.
The nail is missing.
Just a few days after he left the ghost town, the nail disappeared.
Ning Gu turned around suddenly, rushed a few steps towards the captain's cabin, and then stopped.
He turned around again and rushed a few more steps towards the exit of the shelter.
He didn't know whether he should rush to question the captain or rush to Tongue Bay to find the nail.
"Where do you live?" Lian Chuan, who had been standing next to him and watching him, asked.
"What are you doing!" Ning Gu turned his head.
"I want to rest." Lian Chuan said.
"You want to come to my place to rest?" Ning Gu glared at him.
"Yes." Lian Chuan said.
"Are you afraid that other travelers can't kill me?" Ning Gu was already in a bad mood, and now he was even more furious.
"Even if I don't go to your place, they will still want to kill you." Lian Chuan said.
Ning Gu continued to stare at him.
"I need to rest." Lian Chuan repeated.
Ning Gu finally heard something a little bit wrong in his tone.
Lian Chuan didn't eat or drink and kept fighting in the Lost Valley without taking a rest. Yet, he managed to rush into the main city and lay in a box all the way. When he just woke up, he said he wanted to rest.
Thinking of his cold hands again, Ning Gu felt that Lian Chuan might really be in a bad condition.
He forced himself to suppress his emotions.
I have gone through so much trouble to turn myself from a ghost town bully into a public enemy of ghost town. If anything happens to Lian Chuan, I will suffer a huge loss.
"Come on," Ning Gu gritted his teeth, "Go back where there are no people."
Out of respect for the leader, no one would guard Ning Gu's hut to cause trouble for him. All they had to do was avoid taking routes where they might run into people and go back.
Ning Gu was walking in front and Lian Chuan followed behind him.
This made him think of the time when Lian Chuan threw him into the Lost Valley.
Suddenly I had an indescribable feeling.
If I hadn't insisted on going to the main city and disobeyed the leader's order...
Now nothing will happen
The nails will not go missing.
The leader would not bring anyone to the main city to find him, as there would be heavy casualties.
He will not become a public enemy as soon as he returns.
When Ning Gu saw his own little house, the frustration and discomfort in his heart eased a little.
"We're here," he whispered, walked over and opened the door of the hut, and took out a cold light bottle from the box beside the door, but found that the power had expired and the cold light bottle no longer glowed.
He threw the cold light bottle back into the box: "There's no light anymore, just leave it dark."
Lian Chuan pressed his arm, and a beam of light shot out from his shoulder, illuminating the hut.
Ning Gu glanced at him and said, "Just rest on the bed."
Lian Chuan looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the mat piled with various small items he had exchanged for: "Is this a bed?"
"What else?" Ning Gu said, "Does this look like a toilet?"
"Don't leave until I wake up," Lian Chuan walked towards the mat, "I don't trust the captain."
Without waiting for Ning Gu to answer, he suddenly fell forward.
The face fell to the mat.
Ning Gu's first reaction was to rush over and try to pull the car, but he braked in time.
He first picked up a stick and poked Lian Chuan's uniform twice. When he saw nothing unusual, he quickly threw the stick away and went over to grab Lian Chuan's arm.
Lian Chuan was still some distance away from the mat. Fortunately, his head just touched the mat when he fell. Otherwise, he would have hit the ground with his face...
"Lian Gou?" Ning Gu turned him over and patted him on the face.
Lian Chuan did not respond.
Ning Gu sighed, pulled his arm, dragged him towards the mat, and lifted his legs up.
Lian Chuan lay sideways on the mat.
Ning Gu stood there and watched for a while, making sure that he was not pulled into Lian Chuan's consciousness again, before he went over and turned him over to face up to prevent him from suffocating.
Don't leave before I wake up. I don't trust the captain.
It's okay to wait for you to wake up.
Ning Gu sat down against the wall and leaned back.
Don’t trust the team leader
He closed his eyes, raised his head and knocked it lightly against the wall twice. Who can trust whom
