Chapter 229: The End of the World (Part 3)

Chu Yun got on the car as he wished, but he was examined before that.

"Open your mouth."

Although Chu Yun didn't understand the cold command, he still opened his mouth subconsciously.

Then her little face was held by a pair of big hands. The hands were rough and strong. They were wearing half-finger gloves. There were thick calluses on the fingertips, which made Chu Yun frown slightly.

Xi Yue moved closer, feeling alert. The man in front of him didn't look like a zombie at all. Over the years, he could tell at a glance whether it was an alien or not, so there was no need to check.

But... this kid has an indescribable fragrance on him, and he is a little fascinated by it.

Maybe a new variant?

Xi Yue was not sure, but the mutants had sharp teeth and abnormally red pupils, so he had to take the risk to check for the safety of his team members.

The fragrance became more pronounced after the little thing opened its mouth. Xi Yue looked at the row of neat white teeth in its mouth, and his head moved closer and closer, his gums inevitably secreting saliva.

"Okay...are you done?"

A question rang out with a shrinking tone, and Xi Yue suddenly reacted and stood up straight. He was actually in front of his teammates... and was stunned by such a little kid, making a very ugly face.

"Um."

Xi Yue tried to maintain his aloof image.

Although Qian Lang didn't know why Brother Yue kept looking at Xiao Piaoliang's mouth, he knew that Brother Yue always had his reasons for doing things.

"Brother Yue, is this person normal?"

"Um."

This is a signal for Chu Yun to get on board.

…

Chu Yun got on the car and the middle seat was given to him. Next to him were Xi Yue and Qian Lang, so it was a bit crowded.

The weather is extremely hot and humid now. Although Chu Yun can't feel the heat, in order to look more like a human, he wears a ragged short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and his exposed limbs are dazzling white.

Among a group of black men, Chu Yun looked like a pearl.

But Chu Yun obviously did not have this awareness. He tried to shrink his body as much as possible, for fear that he would get dirty and rub dirt on the people around him. After all, he had been living with his face to the earth and his back to the sky for a week.

Chu Yun felt that he might smell bad.

Qian Lang seemed to dislike himself. He clung to the car window tightly, as if he would die if he bumped into him.

Xi Yue, on the other hand, slept in an open position, his legs spread wide against Chu Yun, his limbs stretched out. A strange position formed in the back row, Qian Lang huddled in, Chu Yun huddled in, and Xi Yue, like a tyrant, wishing he could sleep sideways.

Even so, Xi Yue was still not satisfied.

"Tsk, why are you so far away? Can I eat you?"

Chu Yun's first impression of Xi Yue was that he was a cool and handsome guy, but she didn't expect him to be a mean bastard.

"You always stick to me..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Qi and Wu Bo in the front row also turned their heads.

Xi Yue suddenly jumped up and hit the roof of the car with a clang sound. He had a fierce look on his face and his ears were red.

"What did you say? I was sticking to you? I was, I was sitting like that before, you're so funny!"

Xi Yue spoke rapidly, repeating over and over again that this was how he usually sat.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like an attempt to cover up something makes it even more obvious.

Several people were stunned, especially Qian Lang. Where was his cold and taciturn captain?

Wang Qi had been through several relationships. He squinted his eyes and stared at Xi Yue, sensing something was amiss, and tried to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, this is how our captain usually sits. You... hey, what's your name?"

"My name is Chu Yun."

When a few people heard it, they repeated it silently in their hearts, Chu Yun... Chu Yun, what a nice name.

"Then why are you out on the highway alone? It's so dangerous! If you run into an alien like that, you're doomed!"

Chu Yun was stunned by the question. Yes, a person would definitely not be able to survive in the wilderness, so how could he explain it? Chu Yun was not very good at lying.

But he didn't have to say anything, and the people around him helped him get through it.

"They must have dumped him because he was so skinny and small. Aren't there many scumbags like him these days?"

Qian Lang expressed his guess and was filled with indignation, but he didn't expect Xi Yue to be even angrier than him.

"Fuck! I'll skin him alive if I find out who did this!"

Xi Yue doesn't usually swear, so the eyes of the people around him fell on him again.

Xi Yue felt uncomfortable as if ants were crawling all over his body, and he stared with his eyes wide open.

"Why are you all looking at me? I just can't stand what these people are doing!"

Then he turned to Chu Yun and added.

"It has nothing to do with you."

The more you try to hide something, the more obvious it becomes. This phrase popped up in everyone's mind.

Chu Yun's opinion of this grumpy big guy changed. Although he had a bad temper, he was a nice person. Chu Yun pursed her lips and thanked him.

"Thank you."

Xi Yue glanced at him, leaned against the car window, and closed his eyes again.

The conversation between the few people continued, and just like that, Chu Yun's experience was passed over. He didn't say anything, but the others seemed to have imagined something, and looked at him with pity.

Wu Bo, who was driving, said:

"It will be fine once we get to the base. There's a residential area there. You can survive there as long as you're frugal and work every day. We can apply for a single room for you..."

Wang Qi and Qian Lang both nodded. Chu Yun was an ordinary person without any special abilities, so he could not join their team. Even if he had special abilities, Xi Yue would not look down on him. Anyway, Xi Yue had the final say on the requirements for selecting team members.

They could only try their best to make the life of this beautiful and fragile beauty a little better.

Chu Yun did not expect to join the team with them. He did not need to eat. It would be great if he could get into the base and have a place to live.

Chu Yun was overjoyed to find a single room.

"Thank you!"

Xi Yue seemed to have his eyes closed, but he was actually listening the whole time. He felt a little uncomfortable. This kid was abandoned at a young age, and he might have to work every day and eat the food that was fed to pigs in the future, but he could still be so happy.

"We'll talk about where to live later. When we get back to the base, you follow me..."

Chu Yun looked at Xi Yue, and Xi Yue also opened his eyes.

Chu Yun's pair of bright dark eyes were full of confusion. Why should she follow him?

"Do you want me to join your team?"

Xi Yue felt a little uncomfortable when he was asked softly, and in a blink of an eye, three pairs of eyes were staring at him.

He felt even more uncomfortable and his face turned red.

"You... you're dreaming. I brought you back here because you came from nowhere. For the safety of the base, I have to keep a close eye on you. You still want to join the team? You're dreaming..."

Xi Yue thought to himself, why join the team? Just stay in the base. It’s not safe outside. It will be troublesome if something happens to Chu Yun, a weak boy.

The living environment of the tube-shaped buildings where ordinary people in the base live is terrible. Most of the people living there are ordinary people, with a small number of people with special abilities. It is a mixed crowd and riots and dangerous things often happen. If a person goes crazy, he is much more terrifying than the aliens.

There was no way this kid could go to that kind of place. Xi Yue developed a sense of responsibility, one to observe Chu Yun, and the other to protect him.

After all, I brought the person back myself, so I have to take responsibility for it.

Wang Qi understood something and smiled without saying anything.
