Xiao Mo... did nothing.
Just in front of him, the two soldiers guarding the stairs had seen them and raised their hands to salute them from a distance.
Xiao Mo nodded quickly in return. Along the way, he said he felt a little awkward, but just now he was so buried in his own emotions that he didn't notice the reactions of other people on the roadside when they saw him, and Xue Lihong didn't remind him either.
Why do they look at him like that
Afraid that others would see what he did last night, Xiao Mo straightened his back even more.
The soldiers looked at him with bright eyes that contained a thousand words. They stared at him again when he passed by.
Xiao Mo felt the burning behind him and couldn't help but quietly quicken his pace.
"The news about your treatment of Major General Zhang Hua yesterday has spread. At this time, there is no point in concealing your ability. On the contrary, if you let the soldiers know that you have such ability, they will put your security level higher than that of the top leader of this base. Zhang Hua is even taller. If anyone dares to attack you at this time, the soldiers will tear them alive without any call from above."
"I didn't do anything, I just..." Xiao Mo touched his nose. Instead of feeling proud, he felt a little embarrassed.
"But they only know that you have medical abilities, so don't expose the rest."
"Oh, I know, I will be careful." Only then did Xiao Mo realize that the young man was still holding his shoulders. He felt something was wrong in his heart, so he hurriedly took two steps to shake off Xue Lihong.
Xue Lihong didn't pay attention and followed slowly. He thought Xiao Mo was angry with what he said before.
For an old monster who has not grown up in a thousand years, it is just a joke to say who to trust.
He likes Xiao Mo and even wants to mate with him. In addition to Xiao Mo helping him grow up, another important point is that he thinks this person is easier to control - he likes to have everything in his hands. Feelings, whether they are things or people.
Maybe this is related to the fact that he has been in a weak position before
In the past, he had been forced to remain a minor. Even if he had an idea, most of the time it would be difficult to execute it. How many adults would listen to a child who appears to be four or five years old, even if he appears to be smart and mature
The more unachievable a goal is, the more it will become an obsession over time.
Xue Lihong is used to looking for kind-hearted people to protect her for a period of time in troubled times, but as an outsider, when food and medicine are lacking and humanity collapses, he is always the one abandoned first compared to his own children.
He didn't hate those who abandoned him or even exchanged him for food and other things, nor was he grateful to them - while being protected by these people, he also paid for the protection, such as valuable jewelry, or several life-saving efforts.
He didn't care about those people, just as those people didn't care much about him. It's not like he hasn't met people who are kind to him from beginning to end, and there are a few who are even willing to sacrifice themselves to protect him.
To those people, he has great rewards. But because of his body that never grows up, he can't always be with those people. He had tried, but...
After two attempts, he never put his full trust in anyone again.
He also knew that telling the truth would hurt people, but in his many years of living, he had only seen things like love and relationships, but from experience he believed that telling the truth was better than deceiving. He had seen many experiences in the past. Relationships that begin with deception rarely end well.
He didn't know how long he and Xiao Mo could be together, but he hoped that both parties could be as honest as possible. Of course, that didn't mean that each other couldn't have some secrets. Who didn't have some things that couldn't be said
All in all, Xue Lihong's view on relationships is: you are mine, I have to be responsible for you, I have to be good to you, I have to take care of you, I will try my best not to deceive you, but you also have to be obedient, the above.
You see, he has very few requirements for his partner, as long as he is obedient.
Therefore, he felt that it was acceptable for Xiao Mo to lose his temper with him, throw away his hand, and so on. Anyway, he would find him again somewhere else. I heard that successful men always respect their partners in front of outsiders. If they have any objections, they will go back and have sex behind closed doors.
Xiao Mo didn't know that he had been classified as a property by his employees, and he had no idea that he and Xue Lihong had started dating. His relationship with Xue Lihong hadn't developed to that point yet. Last night was special. Condition.
Now he hopes that the young man can quickly forget what happened last night, otherwise he really doesn't know how to continue to get along with the young man.
Chang'e still stays in the laboratory. One reason is that she is not sure whether the virus in her body has completely disappeared. Another important reason is that she promised Xiao Mo that no matter what changes she has in the future, she will not involve herself in the matter. On him.
Cheng Zai also knew this through Chang E, so he didn't tell anyone about Chang E's changes. He was the only one who sent food and water to Chang E.
Chang E smiled when she saw Xiao Mo coming in.
Xiao Mo walked into the glass room. He was not here to enjoy Chang'e's gratitude, but to check whether her situation had changed.
The mutated virus was quite invasive, and he couldn't guarantee that the other party wouldn't come back again.
"Your condition is very good. The angel virus and mutated virus in your body have disappeared." Xiao Mo put down Chang'e's hand and gave her a positive reply.
Chang'e took a long breath and finally let go of her worries, "Thank you!"
Xiao Mo shook his head, "I'm sorry, I have to wrong you. I'm afraid you will have to stay here until the tunnel is dug."
"It's nothing. There's something else I need to explain to you first." Chang'e looked at Xue Lihong, "Don't get me wrong, it's not something that is detrimental to you."
Xiao Mo, "Please tell me."
Chang'e looked at Xiao Mo, "I thought about it all night. I don't want to be a research object for a certain person or organization anymore, even the Zhongshan City base you promised."
"So what are your plans?"
"Xiao Mo, I need to thank you again. Because of your treatment, not only can I be invisible, but my wings can finally be retracted. After a while, I will ask Cheng Zai to tell Ma Xiang and the others that I have been If the mutated virus kills, Cheng Zai will activate the self-destruct program and destroy the laboratory in the name of avoiding virus leakage."
"What will you do after that? Everyone in the base is registered."
Chang'e smiled, "My son still has some energy in this base. It's not a problem for him to find a secret hiding place to hide me for a few months. As long as he leaves here in the future, my son will choose to retire, and we will go there Living in other cities, I think this is not only best for me, but also good for you. At least in a short period of time, you don’t have to worry about your abilities being exposed."
Xiao Mo thought about it and felt that this was the best for Chang E. Although he hoped that Chang E and her son could go to the Zhongshan base, he did not want Chang E to help Qian Yunkai and the others conduct angel virus research, but he hoped that they could get better results. A more comfortable life.
"That's good." Xue Lihong made the final decision, "I will help Cheng Zai handle this matter."
Chang'e decided, "Thank you very much."
For several days after that, Xiao Mo falsely claimed that Chang'e's condition had worsened and went into the laboratory every day to help with her treatment.
Ma Xiang and Major General Zhang Hua wanted to see the situation, but Xiao Mo refused on the grounds that they might be infected.
In order not to make Ma Xiang and others suspicious, Cheng Zai stopped entering the laboratory.
Ma Xiang and the others checked the surveillance video, but they only saw the surveillance content that had been manipulated. It was just a piece of cake for Cheng Zai to replace the real continuous tense with past image processing and editing.
The increasingly miserable scene of Chang'e in the video made Ma Xiang and the others unable to bear to watch it any longer, especially when their son was staring at you with tears in his eyes.
Four days later, Xiao Mo declared that Chang'e's condition was incurable and suggested that in order to avoid infection, it would be best to completely destroy Chang'e's body.
Major General Zhang Hua, Ma Xiang and other senior officials decided to activate the laboratory's self-destruction program after emergency consultations - this was the news told to them by the surviving researchers, who did not want the living viruses and monsters in the laboratory to escape.
Cheng Zai was in unbearable pain, but still insisted that he start the procedure.
That night, in front of Zhang Hua and Ma Xiang, he turned on the surveillance camera, turned on the laboratory's self-destruct program, and pressed the Enter key.
Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong were also there.
On the screen, Chang'e, whose body was almost rotten, was lying on a simple bed. At this time, she could no longer recognize her human form.
Zhang Hua and Ma Xiang couldn't bear to look directly at Chang E on the screen. Ma Xiang even patted Cheng Zai several times, fearing that he wouldn't be able to bear it.
Fire erupted from the center of the glass room, and Chang'e's body was quickly burned to ashes along with other objects in the glass room. But this was not the end. Other substances were ejected from the glass room to decompose the ashes again.
But at this moment, cracks appeared in the extremely strong bulletproof glass house!
"It's broken! Why did the glass crack?" Major General Zhang Hua and others changed their colors.
No one expected such a change, and no one knew what substance was ejected from the second self-destruction of the glass room. All the equipment in the laboratory began to corrode.
"The information there!" Ma Xiang shouted.
Cheng Zai wiped his tears and said, "Head, I have copied them all."
Ma Xiang gasped and slapped Cheng Zai on the shoulder, "Good job!"
Major General Zhang Hua also looked at Cheng Zai with admiration. It was not easy for this child. He saw his mother become like this with his own eyes, and destroyed his mother's body himself, without forgetting his own work.
Major General Zhang Hua couldn't be more satisfied with such a subordinate.
But such an outstanding soldier told his superior, Lieutenant Colonel Ma Xiang, two days later that he had deleted all the videos of his mother's last days. The reason was that his mother's appearance during that period was too miserable, and he hoped to give people A mother’s last bit of dignity.
Ma Xiang was angry, but for this outstanding subordinate who had made great contributions and saved a large amount of precious research materials in time, he could also understand the other person's mood of not wanting his mother's final miserable appearance to be observed and studied at will.
In the end, Ma Xiang gave Cheng Zai a small demerit, and the matter was over.
On the surface, peace seems to have returned to this underground base, and everything is moving in the right direction.
Some other major and minor incidents also occurred during this period. For example, Zhang Di, the captain of the Denghuo mercenary team, was almost killed by a prostitute during sex, and one of the five young people who was rescued by Denghuo, Yang Kangping, died of a heart attack. Fa passed away, and his girlfriend Feng Lan seemed to be so stimulated that she lost her mind and attacked another young man Li Yong, almost stabbing him to death with a dagger.
Feng Lan was imprisoned and asked her not to say anything. Two days later, Feng Lan was raped and murdered in the solitary cell.
Because of this incident, Major General Zhang Hua was furious and forcibly transferred all the powers of arrest, detention, interrogation and custody to the military. The solitary cell and the guards where Feng Lan was detained at that time did not belong to the military, but to another force in the base, the so-called civilian officials.
But in fact, these civil servants are not real civil servants, but a management organization formed voluntarily by some early survivors who consider themselves to have relatively high status and relatively large contributions.
At that time, Ma Xiang needed manpower to help manage the survivors, so he allowed these people to have a little power in the base.
Major General Zhang Hua wanted to take back the power of these people when he woke up, but after considering that they would not stay in this base for a long time, he did not go out of his way to deal with these people. Who would have thought that these people would give him a big trick!
However, after the accident, some of these people even showed an expression of "just a woman died". Major General Zhang Hua, who was so angry and upright, punched them on the spot.
Xiao Mo heard some of these things when he was treating soldiers and survivors.
Feng Lan, it was he who protected the girl with the hammer and sent her all the way to the base. He didn't expect the girl to die like this, and to die so miserably.
"Has the murderer been caught?" Xiao Mo asked Xue Lihong while wiping his face.
"Which murderer? Boss, come with me to the third negative floor of the back building after dinner."
"Okay. It's the murderer who killed Feng Lan."
"Not yet. It is said that the monitor in the corridor outside the solitary room happened to be broken that day." Xue Lihong showed an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.
"Do you know anything?" Xiao Mo looked at him suspiciously.
"What do I know? I only know that this matter has nothing to do with us. Zhang Hua and the others will solve it. Boss, please don't be too meddlesome."
Xiao Mo coughed and said, "Do you remember Zhang Di from the Lantern Mercenary Team? He was seriously injured. In the morning, his people found out from somewhere that I could treat people, and came to ask me to save him. I... agreed. ”
Xue Lihong frowned. There is nothing wrong with saving Zhang Di, but if you save Zhang Di, you are likely to face the enemy who wants to kill him. That enemy is not very broad-minded.
That Ni Wei, he felt uncomfortable when he saw this person for the first time, and the other person's behavior after that made him not want to get involved with this person. It was not because this person was vicious or afraid of the energy behind him, but because he had never wanted to get involved with him. This young man felt a hint of danger.
