Chapter 74 What Belongs to You (Revised)

"Cough cough cough." Lu Zhi coughed a few times, then swallowed the taste of blood in his mouth.

He brushed the sweat-dampened hair from his companion's forehead with his fingers, his heart overflowing with joy.

I can never get enough of looking at them; I want to remember them forever.

Sui Cheng awoke from her dazed state, slapped his hand away, and said in a hoarse voice, "What time is it?"

"It's still early."

Sui Cheng glanced at the time and became highly skeptical of Lu Zhi's claim that it was still early.

He paused for a long time before finally uttering a soul-searching question: "Do you alien races... all take this long?"

Lu Zhi paused for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant, and smiled with narrowed eyes: "Scared?"

Accompanying passenger: "..."

Lu Zhi laughed even harder. He grabbed Sui Cheng's hand, their fingers intertwined, and asked, "Are you afraid of the pain?"

The passenger countered, "Do you have experience?"

Lu Zhi instinctively felt this was a trap, and his survival instinct made him quickly shake his head and say, "No."

"What about this body? Didn't you inherit his memories?"

Lu Zhi thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Anyway, I don't have any memories of it."

"So where did you learn all of this?"

The passenger's probing questions silenced him once again.

Lu Zhi was a little distracted and didn't notice that Sui Cheng had taken the opportunity to get out of bed, wearing a nightgown. It wasn't until he reached the door that Lu Zhi came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.

Let's go together.

"roll!"

Suicheng was cornered by him, his back pressed against the cold wall. He hissed and frowned, saying, "Get out."

"Hmm, no~" Lu Zhi kissed his eyes and started to shamelessly act cute again.

Although I'm reluctant to admit it, the passenger does fall for his act.

He slightly turned his head to avoid Lu Zhi's kiss, and said coldly, "If you touch me again, get out."

"Oh." Sui Cheng actually withdrew his hand from him, pressed his lips to his ear, licked it with the tip of his tongue, and laughed, "Then can we use our mouths?"

Both of them were soaked, and it took them a long time to finish taking a shower.

Lu Zhi grabbed a bath towel from the side, wrapped it around Sui Cheng, carried him to the bedside, made him sit, and then dried his hair.

Sui Cheng looked up at him. At this moment, Lu Zhi was very well-behaved, slowly and meticulously drying his hair, looking very serious, as if he were cleaning some kind of treasure.

He gently and carefully gathered the strands of hair between his fingers.

Sui Cheng raised her head and unexpectedly kissed him on the chin.

Lu Zhi paused, looking at him with deep eyes.

Sui Cheng slightly moved his lips and explained, "An accident."

Lu Zhi chuckled and directly sealed his lips with hers. This time it was just a simple kiss, nothing more.

He found that Sui Cheng was also awkward when it came to matters of the heart. Even though he wanted it, he would act as if he was being forced, half-heartedly letting him have his way, which was incredibly cute.

However, he didn't intend to reveal it, because it would seem more exciting that way.

"Following the captain, following along." Lu Zhi sighed, his lips parting the captain's soft lips. Reluctantly, he released the kiss, then licked the lips again, whispering, "How can you be so addictive?"

“You’re not human,” the passenger retorted.

"Ha, right, I'm not human." Lu Zhi gently kissed his cheek, squinting as he smiled, "I'm a different species belonging to you."

...

The next morning, Sui Cheng and Lu Zhi met up with the others at the base entrance.

There were 20 people in total. Besides the 7 members of their own team, there were 13 members of the special operations team led by Yang Xie, and Xu Fei and his group were among them.

Because they were going on a mission alone, Chen Jiang and his team had been on leave for a long time. They were inevitably excited about this mission, as they had been holding back for a long time.

"Sui, it's been a long time. You look great." Xu Fei greeted Sui Cheng casually, patting him on the shoulder. The moment he touched him, he felt a sharp gaze on him.

When he followed the gaze, he only saw Lu Zhi with his eyes downcast, seemingly lost in thought.

Looking at the clothes on Lu Zhi's body, he raised an eyebrow and teased, "So you've finally brought him under your wing."

The attendant, without changing his expression, said, "Yes, you performed well in the previous missions, so you've been promoted to a full member."

"Vice Captain."

When Yang Xie arrived, they greeted him again. Yang Xie nodded coldly to them, seemingly in a bad mood.

They chatted idly, and Lin Zhi, who was not far away, nudged Tan Qingjia next to her and gossiped, "Don't you think the captain seems a little different?"

Tan Qingjia glanced at the attendant not far away without noticing, then shook her head slightly and said, "I don't think so."

"Sigh." Lin Zhi sighed in exasperation, but afraid of being overheard, she leaned closer to her and whispered, "Look at the captain's neck."

Tan Qingjia looked over and vaguely saw a red mark on the attendant's neck, half of which was covered by his collar. It was either a mosquito bite or a hickey.

Her expression changed for a moment, and she subconsciously looked at Lu Zhi. In their subconscious, only Lu Zhi was capable of doing such a thing.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhi met their strange gazes.

Lin Zhi hesitated, unsure how to ask, and glanced at the person accompanying her.

"Oh." Lu Zhi gave a knowing look, gestured for them to be quiet, and said with a wicked smile, "Don't say it in front of Captain Sui, he's shy."

Lin Zhi and Tan Qingjia: "..."

Lu Zhi covered his lips, concealing the triumphant smile on his face. The hickey on Sui Cheng's neck was something he had secretly left this morning before Sui Cheng woke up, just to assert his dominance.

After leaving the base, he traveled continuously without stopping along the way, and arrived at Tianchi Town, the closest town to Haicheng, in about two days.

They hadn't originally planned to take this route, but since the original path was blocked, they took a detour.

They drove six vehicles in total. The one in the middle was an armored vehicle carrying weapons, which was guarded by Yang Xie and one of his team members.

When they arrived near Tianchi Town, Lü Zhi sensed the presence of an alien species and whispered to his attendants, "There's an alien species inside."

Sui Cheng nodded slightly, and Chen Jiang took out the explorer.

Sure enough, after entering Tianchi Town, many red dots appeared on the explorer.

The presence of alien energy fluctuations proves that they have been discovered by the aliens, who are hiding in the shadows, ready to attack them at any moment.

"Qingjia."

When the passenger called his name, Tan Qingjia immediately released his spiritual power, investigating and reporting the situation at the same time: "There is one 200 meters ahead, two 500 meters away, and several hiding on a tall building 800 meters away."

"Xu Fei, take your men and deal with the area nearby," Yang Xie's voice came through the earpiece.

"Received." Xu Fei and his teammates sped up and headed towards the red dot on the explorer.

A short while later, the sounds of their fighting could be heard.

“Just some small fry.” Lu Zhi yawned lazily, leaned on his companion’s shoulder, and said in a low voice, “But the presence of small fry proves that there should be evolved superhuman species in this place.”

"Vice Captain, there might be superhuman species in Tianchi Town."
