Shen Heng finally spoke, and he asked, "You, are you planning to go back to the research institute?"
Du Yan stared at his tangled expression, and suddenly smiled: "What? You can't bear to send me back?"
Shen Heng was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.
Du Yan said: "I have the hope of human beings in me, and I have the gene to purify the radiation on my own."
"..." Shen Heng was silent, the moment Du Yan asked him, what he thought in his mind was only the people in front of him, not about the future of mankind.
Du Yan was teasing Shen Heng here, but Xiao Ba couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded aloud: "Du Yan, I always feel that you forgot your purpose is to eat nightmares. Wouldn't this be counterproductive?"
Du Yan asked back, "Why does it backfire?"
Xiao Ba said: "You said that this time Shen Heng would choose by himself, but the choice you gave was too difficult. One way is to send the only person who can accompany you back to the institute, and the other is to choose to care about people but not Let go of the beliefs that you have always held to.”
Du Yan glanced at Shen Heng, and seeing that he was still thinking, he was very understanding and did not interrupt the other party. He directly took the canned food on the table and opened it to eat.
After all, Du Yan is just a pure person, and his physique is completely different from that of an infected person. Now that he has not eaten for a whole day, he is very hungry.
Shen Heng's reaction was somewhat unexpected. Du Yan's sound of opening the can seemed to startle the other party. Shen Heng took the can directly: "I'll heat it up for you, it's not good to eat cold food."
Du Yan looked at Shen Heng's back, and his heart moved slightly. Perhaps in order to strengthen his beliefs, Du Yan said to Xiao Ba, "Do you know what the source of this movie's nightmare is?"
Having experienced several nightmares with Du Yan, Xiao Ba is considered very experienced. He opened his mouth and replied, "Of course it is loneliness."
Du Yan said: "You are wrong, it's a sense of identity. No one agrees with everything he did from beginning to end. In the final stage of the movie, the Pure Ones even started to hunt down after developing a more powerful mecha. Shen Heng."
"Even if Shen Heng has a firm heart, this feeling of disapproval will always lead to a lingering shadow, which leads to this nightmare. What I have to do is to push Shen Heng to be admired and recognized by everyone and save the world. The status of a hero allows him to be recognized, and the nightmare will naturally dissipate."
Xiao Ba already knew Du Yan's routine very well: "I know, to become a savior, you must defeat the villain. You play the role of the villain. But before you fell into your dreams, didn't you say that Shen Heng was the one to choose?"
Du Yan said: "Yes, I have already laid out two paths. If he chooses to stay with me in the end, then I will accompany her to live a peaceful life. It is enough for me to agree with him and worship him. Eliminate nightmares."
"If he sends me to the research institute, then there is another way. I will follow the villain route as set and try to kill everyone in this world. A protagonist like Shen Heng will naturally stop me at a critical moment. , become a great hero who saves the world, and his achievements are praised by everyone, perfect."
Xiao Ba couldn't help but sighed that Du Yan was still Du Yan, he didn't take the usual path, and the effect of eating dreams was surprisingly good.
Shen Heng had come out of the kitchen at this time, and handed the can in his hand to Du Yan, the temperature was just right: "Eat it, the temperature is just right."
Xiao Ba was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Shen Heng is really a good person, I just think the choice you gave is a little too cruel."
Du Yan said: "You can grow up only after you have experienced difficult choices. Do you think that is the truth?"
Xiao Ba sighed faintly, feeling that Shao Lingheng met Du Yan, a person with a wicked and curious mind, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. Judging from his observations, the two were willing to fight and the other to suffer, and they were a natural pair.
Du Yan took the can handed over by Shen Heng, took a bite, and asked, "Aren't you going to eat it?"
Shen Heng said: "We infected people don't need to eat every day. These pure foods are not much, so I will keep them for you to eat. I will hunt a few mutant creatures to eat tomorrow."
Du Yan glanced at him and said, "Actually, I want to try the taste of mutant creatures. You know, in my home, all I eat are pure plants. I have never eaten meat."
Shen Heng looked at Du Yan's aggrieved expression and reassured: "I have cleaned up all the mutant creatures around here. When I reach the infected area, I will bake the delicious mutant creatures to eat."
Du Yan's eyes lit up: "You mean you agreed to show me around?"
Shen Heng looked at his excited expression and unconsciously brought a smile to the corner of his mouth: "Well, I will accompany you to see all the scenery you want, and take the road you want."
Du Yan cheered, stepped forward to hug Shen Heng, and kissed him on the cheek again.
"..." Shen Heng was stunned for a while, before he could say a word.
"Du Yan, even if your physique is special, mine is also special, it's better to have less contact..."
Du Yan curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "Don't you like me touching you, am I so annoying?"
Shen Heng shook his head again and again and said, "That's not what I mean, I'm just worried that I will affect you. You had a high fever yesterday because of the rejection reaction. You look so uncomfortable."
Du Yan raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "The rejection is just this time, and it won't happen again. If you don't believe me, do you want me to kiss you a few more times? Or take off all your clothes. Now, let's get in touch with each other at close range, and we can know whose physique is more powerful."
"..." Shen Heng listened, but was unable to speak for a long time.
Even though Shen Heng's complexion was darker, Du Yan could see that his face was flushed red, and it was estimated that with a little more stimulation, he would be able to boil water on the spot.
Du Yan thought for a while, in order to prevent the stimulation from being too great, the powerful infected person broke through the wall and chose to change the topic.
After the two had dinner, Du Yan still pestered Shen Heng to tell some adventure stories. When the night was getting dark, Shen Heng settled Du Yan in the room, turned around and prepared to leave.
Shen Heng didn't think that one day he would bring people here. Naturally, this is the only room in the whole house that can sleep people.
As soon as Shen Heng moved, he felt that the corner of his clothes was tight. He looked down and found a slender white hand was holding the corner of his clothes.
"Where do you go to sleep?" Du Yan asked. "You don't have friends and you don't get close to others. There won't be a second room in this house where you can sleep, right?"
Shen Heng never lied, he nodded and said, "I'll just rest in the living room."
Du Yan still didn't let go and said, "But I feel a little scared, can you accompany me?"
Facing Du Yan's begging eyes, Shen Heng had no words of rejection in his mind at all, and acted purely by instinct.
When Shen Heng took off his coat and lay in the quilt, he smelled the smell of the boy's body. It was a very clean smell, which was incompatible with this dirty and abandoned world.
dong dong dong —
Shen Heng only felt his heartbeat beside his ears. He took a few deep breaths, for fear that the violent heartbeat would disturb Du Yan who was lying beside him.
Here Shen Heng was holding his breath and was extremely nervous, while Du Yan moved there.
He turned around and lay face-to-face with Shen Heng, without any sleepiness in his eyes: "Shen Heng, although I am completely relying on your protection now, can you let me make a request?"
Shen Heng looked at the face that was so close at hand, and his heartbeat finally calmed down, but because it was the first time Du Yan called his name officially, he became a little nervous again.
"Isn't it possible?" Du Yan was a little disappointed when he saw that Shen Heng didn't answer for a long time.
"OK."
Du Yan rolled his eyes with a smile, and joked: "You agreed without asking what the request was. Then the newspapers will describe you as more terrifying than the most ferocious mutant creatures. Some people want to know that you are such a talkative one. Man, you're probably going to scare your eyes off."
Shen Heng said, "I'm not like this usually."
Du Yan stopped joking and went straight to the topic: "I want to go to the No. 5 home to see."
Home No. 5 is thousands of kilometers away from Home No. 1, not far from the location where a huge nuclear bomb was detonated, and the environment was completely destroyed. Until now, the vitality there has not recovered, the yellow sand is everywhere, and it looks tragic.
There is a home in that place because it used to be a military base of a big country, the building is strong and well-supplied, and the underground is a huge shelter.
The shelter under the military base is almost filled with soldiers in the freezer. After thawing, these well-trained soldiers quickly used the military base as a fortress and established the original human homeland.
Therefore, the No. 5 homeland will form such a large scale.
Shen Heng didn't understand, and said directly: "The scenery in the No. 5 homestead is not good, and it is very dangerous."
Du Yan said: "I know, I also read the survival manual in the institute and learned about these homes. I went to the No. 5 home to meet my parents."
Shen Heng was stunned: "You, want to see them?"
"Well," Du Yan nodded, "I just wanted to see what kind of people they were, and asked why they sent me to the research institute? Is it for the benefit of the whole mankind, or is it really like As the researchers say, for a life without food and clothing."
Having said this, Du Yan sighed: "No matter what the result is, there is always an answer before I give up."
Shen Heng only felt a little distressed, he raised his hand to squeeze Du Yan's face, but was worried that the calluses on his palm would cut through the other's fair skin.
After thinking about it, Shen Heng turned his hand and landed on Du Yan's head. The palm of his hand touched the boy's hair for the first time, and it was as smooth and soft as he imagined. Compared with the cat back then, it made Shen Heng softer from the bottom of his heart.
He whispered: "Okay, let's go to the fifth home. No matter what answer you get, remember, and I'll be with you, okay?"
Du Yan nodded, reached out and took Shen Heng's hand, and closed his eyes after hugging him.
"By the way, you are not allowed to send me back while I am sleeping." Du Yan opened his eyes and bared his teeth, "Otherwise, I will kill you."
Shen Heng laughed, the threat of the young man in front of him had no power at all, just like a bluffing little animal.
Seeing Du Yan staring at him, Shen Heng said again: "Okay, no, if I send you back privately, I will kill me, okay?"
Du Yan then closed his eyes and fell asleep with peace of mind, while Shen Heng just stared at his sleeping face, staring blankly all night.
