Chapter 45: Picking up the Amnesia Trio, I feel a little weird without losing my memory...

Su Xiaohua forced herself to hold back her tears and observed the black-haired boy through her hazy vision.

Since the beast tide ravaged the eastern border, many settlements have been destroyed, including the village where Su Xiaohua and his friends live.

After finding out that no adults had come down for a long time and the lock had been broken, they found a way to escape from the basement - it was called a basement, but the adults were more used to calling it a "laboratory".

Although she didn't understand what a laboratory was, Su Xiaohua knew that ordinary villagers in remote areas wouldn't dress beautifully, nor would they own so many expensive-looking things, let alone inject various drugs into ordinary children.

They were locked up in the innermost room, and I heard many people call them "successful products" and said they were going to be sent to some big place.

So they fled.

After escaping from the basement, I found that the village was in a mess, with flames and corpses everywhere, and there was no living person to be seen.

The strange beast discovered them, but after a moment's hesitation it did not attack them, and even killed an adult who wanted to capture them.

Su Xiaohua thought, the black-haired boy in front of him was the second human they met after leaving the basement.

Not as scary as the first one, but somehow it felt a little weird.

The boy who was thrown by the boy had a cold face and said reluctantly: "I don't think he is a bad person, but he is a fool."

“Wuwuwu…”

Chu Xiuyan, who was walking over with a crying boy in his arms, puffed up his cheeks and said, "I heard it. If you want to say something bad about someone, at least you should say it with your back to them, right?"

The cool boy looked at him? He looked him up and down, looking like an adult, and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The immature voice destroyed that temperament.

Su Xiaohua also put on an indifferent look, her eyes still red, and just as she made eye contact with Chu Xiuyan, she quickly looked away like a frightened rabbit.

The timid boy in his elbow was still crying and sounding like he was almost out of breath.

Chu Xiuyan stuffed his body into his companion with a headache, and after thinking for a while, a scarlet blood crystal rose on the exposed skin.

The three children suddenly opened their eyes wide.

The next second, flowers, little tigers and little rabbits condensed from blood crystals were stuffed into the palms of the girl, the cool boy and the crying boy one by one.

"You see, I am almost the same as you."

The black-haired boy pointed at the scarlet blood crystals on his cheeks. They were clear and bright, and under the sunlight, they looked quite beautiful.

Su Xiaohua lowered her head and saw the icy blood-red flower in the palm of her hand, sparkling, bright and beautiful.

She sniffed, trying to suppress the bitterness.

…

"Cave?!"

Because he said he wanted to see where Su Xiaohua and his family lived, Chu Xiuyan was stunned when he was taken to their residence.

He stared at the cave that was more than two meters high. It was not appropriate to call it a cave. It looked like a den of bears, or perhaps a residence of strange beasts. In short, it was filled with a pungent stench of decay.

The boy hesitated as he looked at Su Xiaohua, who was pulling at the corner of her clothes and carefully observing his expression. Then he saw the crying boy again. He called himself Little Stone, who happily hid the fruit in his pocket under the pile of rags in the cave, and then cleaned up the surrounding debris like a busy little hamster.

In an instant, the sobbing sound stuck in the throat came out.

"No cavemen! No cavemen!"

The cool boy called himself No. 10, saying that he was too lazy to change his name. He also had a cold face and said impatiently: "This is not at the top of the mountain."

He had barely finished speaking when a hand lifted him up and clamped him at the elbow, causing him to flutter his arms and legs in embarrassment.

Chu Xiuyancai? Don't care about him? There is only one thought in his mind, that is, if? Let these children continue to live in the cave, they will soon degenerate into savages!

"Since you have nowhere to go, do you want to come back with me? Home?"

The struggling little boy's body stiffened. His eyes dropped, and after touching the blood crystal on his arm, he quickly moved away and said coldly: "We are aliens, and no village is willing to accept us."

Chu Xiuyan: "I am also an alien, it doesn't matter, I will find a scapegoat for you."

Let's call Cui Zhiyong over. He also knows about the strange man in the village, the boy thought.

Cool boy: "Why? What do you mean by being taken advantage of?! You are such an unreliable person!"

Su Xiaohua bit her lip. She was not very smart. Her only talent might be in her intuition. Although she felt a little uneasy, she didn't think it was dangerous, so she gritted her teeth and agreed. She went back to the cave to put some important things into the package and sorted out the cool boy's things.

When Little Stone heard that they were going to move, he happily dug out the fruits he had just hidden, wrapped them tightly in clothes and put them on his back. Then he rushed to the boy, raised his face and asked with his eyes wide open, looking innocent and simple.

"Where are we going?"

"Go east."

Chu Xiuyan raised his hand, gray mist rose, and condensed into three gray mist wolves, which landed in front of the three children.

"Let's go. The journey is a bit long, but we should be able to reach the destination before dark."

The boy showed a happy expression, and then he saw three children climbing up the back of the mist wolf in a crooked manner. They swayed with the wolf's movements, which looked very dangerous and they could easily fall down.

Chu Xiuyan thought about it and made a simple baby chair for them, fixing the people on the back of the mist wolf.

Time passed slowly, and my brain, which had been excited by meeting a friendly fellow, calmed down again.

Su Xiaohua looked at the two boys on her left and right with some uneasiness, and mouthed: "Can you really believe this?"

Little Stone still had an innocent look on his face and made a "yeah" gesture to her.

The cool boy crossed his arms with difficulty and said reluctantly, "There's nowhere to go anyway. We've already escaped from the worst place. No matter what happens next, it won't be worse than that place."

Chu Xiuyan turned around and asked, "Where?"

The three children pretended not to say anything and looked up at the sky and the ground but not at the boy.

Chu Xiuyan: "You have a group but you didn't add me?!"

Cool boy: "We've only known each other for less than half a day! There has to be a limit to how familiar we are, right?"

Su Xiaohua looked at him and said, "Number 10, you know a lot. What is natural maturity?"

Little Stone raised his hand: "I know! It's food that can be cooked under natural conditions!"

Chu Xiuyan: "It doesn't look like food that will naturally cook, does it?!"

After a period of chaotic noise, the three children's vigilance towards the teenager gradually decreased, and they even vaguely mentioned something about the basement.

System: [Based on the clues, it should be a laboratory. ]

The key words were successfully filled in, and Chu Xiuyan thought of a lot of plots, and his eyes instantly turned red.

Cool boy: "Your eyes are so disgusting, take them back now."

Chu Xiuyan: "...Damn it, I have to wipe my snot on your clothes! Come here, don't run away--"

Time flies.

Suddenly, Chu Xiuyan's expression changed slightly, and he spotted a relatively familiar figure through the dense woods.

He? He controlled the Mist Wolf to stop and smiled at the uneasy Su Xiaohua in a comforting way.

"Found? An acquaintance, don't worry. You guys wait? here for a while, I'll go say hello."

He jumped off the mist wolf's back, smiled brightly, and ran towards the figure in the distance who was holding onto a tree trunk and moving forward slowly.

"Mr. Bartender—"

As his pace quickened, his right hand suddenly fell behind him. In the sight of the three children behind him, a sharp blood-red dagger appeared, with the tip of the blade pointing upwards. The moment he approached the tall and thin figure, he was about to pull out -

The young man in front turned around, and there seemed to be a skin break on his forehead, blood slowly dripping down, and his cold eyebrows could be vaguely seen?

At this moment, those scarlet eyes? Staring at the black-haired boy running over happily, the bloodless lips slightly parted, almost no emotion could be heard, and said: "Bartender...are you there? Calling me?"

Chu Xiuyan paused for a moment, and the dagger hidden behind him that was about to stab out stopped.

He? The smile on his face? When he saw the injuries on the young man's body, it quickly disappeared, and he became anxious and worried, saying: "Yes, bartender is your code name... Brother, what happened? You are seriously injured!"

When approaching from behind, the tattered cloak blocked the bartender's injuries, but when looking from the front, it was discovered that the bartender's right abdomen was almost pierced, with a blood hole as big as half a fist, bleeding, and a thin layer of blood crystals covering the wound. The flesh and blood grew and adhered quickly like a living thing, but the moment it healed a little, it exploded and turned back into the bloody wound.

“It can’t heal…” Chu Xiuyan observed carefully and instantly realized the reason why the bartender was so miserable and weak at this moment.

The bartender nodded slightly, his expression indifferent: "I think so? I suffered a serious head injury in the battle, which caused temporary amnesia, but I'm not sure whether the enemy is dead. If you are my companion... Don't follow me for the time being, it will be dangerous."

The blood-red dagger hidden behind him disappeared. Chu Xiuyan blinked his eyes, squeezed out a tear, and howled, "Brother! You look down on me too much! You are so seriously injured now, how could I leave you alone? Come with me, I will take you to a safe place to heal your wounds!"

The gray fog rose again, condensing into a fog wolf.

The bartender's movements were a little slow, and he seemed to be distracted. He gently touched the cold mist wolf, then looked at the three children riding the mist wolf and asked, "Who are they?"

Chu Xiuyan's eyes were red again, "Brother, they are our family, you really have forgotten."

Next, he directly borrowed the experimental subject setting of Su Xiaohua and others, and in a few words, he created a setting for himself that he escaped from the laboratory many years ago and was rescued. Now he learned that the laboratory had been restarted, so he teamed up with his family/companions to destroy the laboratory and save the experimental subject. The bartender is the family/companion who led the enemy away to fight with him.

【Perfect! 】

Chu Xiuyan said with satisfaction, no matter whether the bartender believed it or not, he believed it anyway.

The bartender listened quietly, his eyes slowly moving from the three children to the black-haired boy. He didn't feel familiar, but...

The wound never healed, and there was severe pain. His consciousness was also gradually fading.

So he slowly placed his blood-stained hand on the boy's shoulder and said softly, "Then I'll have to trouble you to take care of me for a while...brother."

Chu Xiuyan: [Oh no, I have goosebumps. I really want to stab him with a knife.]

System: [Hold on! Hold on! ]

The black-haired boy gave the bartender a bright and sunny smile, without a trace of gloom.

He? Patting his chest, he said confidently: "Leave it to me! Big brother, you just need to heal your wounds!"

The bartender looked at it carefully several times, but still found nothing unusual. He began to wonder if he was overthinking it.

Chu Xiuyan, who had long since mastered a perfect smile, said: [Ahhhhhh I want to kill someone! ]

As for the other three children, they looked at each other and were sure that the boy was lying, but because they were currently in the same camp as the boy, they all pretended to know nothing and opened their eyes in confusion.

After walking a distance forward, Chu Xiuyan saw a relatively familiar figure again.

The other person was squatting under a tree, with a large cloak covering his entire body. He was constantly banging his head against the tree trunk, seemingly in a state of autism, looking both embarrassed and pitiful.

Chu Xiuyan tiptoed over and heard the other person mumbling to himself: "I am a mushroom, a small mushroom... a mushroom, a mushroom..."

【……】

The shadow of the black-haired boy directly covered the head of the socially anxious mushroom monster. With his back to the sun, his eyes gradually darkened.

Crouching? The man on the ground seemed to have sensed something and froze.

The next second, Chu Xiuyan hugged him.

"Brother, you're alive too! That's great!!"

The cloaked man stiffened instantly, as if his soul had left his body. It took him a long while to find his voice again. He whispered, "Who are you?"

Chu Xiuyan paused, "You didn't lose your memory, did you?"

The socially anxious boy showed a blank and stupid expression, "I am a mushroom..."

He? Pointing to a small black umbrella-shaped mushroom at his feet, as if seeking some kind of recognition, he asked Chu Xiuyan: "Look, it also has a black umbrella, and so do I, so I am a mushroom."

The socially anxious guy pulled at his black cloak and said seriously.

Under his cloak, his legs were bleeding profusely, almost staining the ground beneath him red.

The bartender walked over slowly, pressing the wound, and looked at the socially anxious guy with a slightly disdainful tone.

"Is this person also one of our companions?"

Chu Xiuyan: "...He? It's a mushroom."

After that, he stood up and wanted to leave.

The next second, my trouser leg was pulled.

Socially anxious guy: "...I can be a human for a day."

Don’t you know that you are a human being?!

“By the way, have you seen where the red-haired third sister went? …Could the third sister have also lost her memory and fallen somewhere?” Chu Xiuyan said with a headache.

The socially anxious guy is still autistic. The bartender glanced at Chu Xiuyan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then his expression gradually became complicated, and even his brows wrinkled.

Chu Xiuyan: […I said it’s a difficult question to answer? ]

The bartender slowly came back to his senses, his voice was very soft, obviously he was a little exhausted from the excessive blood loss, "Although I don't remember her, but her injuries are similar to mine, so she must be a companion... She said she went to get help, so we should flee separately... The enemy is very strong."

Chu Xiuyan covered his head, [What happened? What happened? The bartender and the socially anxious guy both? Lost their memories, the red-haired lady went to get help, and the lion boss is still missing......]

The enemy... Boss Lion.

Chu Xiuyan: [I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling.]

System: […hiss.]

After walking for about another half an hour, we approached the edge of the area.

Wild animals could be vaguely seen appearing, but when they approached Chu Xiuyan and others, they quickly fled with their tails between their legs.

Soon, a burst of cheerful laughter rang out from the woods ahead.

"Hahahaha, what game are you guys playing? Hahahaha, do you want me to stop moving? Okay okay hahaha."

Chu Xiuyan crawled out from the dense bushes and took a look.

The blond man was tied to a wooden stick and was being tossed from side to side over a fire like a roasted lamb.

There were five tattered strangers sitting around, one of whom had a black and swollen eye socket as if he had been punched. He stared at the blond man on the fire and gnashed his teeth and said, "This bastard..."

Is there someone beside him to comfort him? "Forget it, just be thankful that he is a fool. If he doesn't want to be stripped naked, just let him? Just keep your clothes on, as long as he can die peacefully."

The blond man said stupidly, "What? What about dying?"

The stranger replied casually, "It's nothing. It's called fire therapy. It can help heal your wound."

Blond man: "Ahahaha, I see. Thank you, you are really nice people, hahahaha... But I feel a little hot, can the fire be turned down a bit?"

Yi Ren: "All? They say good medicine is good for the disease. The bigger the fire, the more it can promote the healing of the wound!"

Blond man: “Hahahaha, so that’s how it is…”

"So that's what this is!"

A figure suddenly appeared and kicked the blond man on the fire and the stick away.

The system quickly detected and reminded: [All these five aliens have eaten human flesh! ]

The black-haired boy who fell to the ground had a gloomy expression on his face. Before the aliens around him could react, several blood swords shot out and pierced their throats directly.

Then he ran towards the blond man and grabbed his collar and shook him wildly.

"Boss Lion! Boss Lion, are you here? What are you doing!?"

Boss Lion stared with a pair of confused eyes, and said dazedly: "Hahahaha, do you know me?"

Chu Xiuyan's movements froze.

[What on earth did these three people do to cause collective amnesia!? ]

After a pause, he said in despair: [I originally thought that the bartenders were also capable, so I wanted to lure them back to trick them... Now, it seems that I am the one who was taken advantage of.]

[I might as well just lose my memory. ]
