Chapter 38 Carry Me

Jiang Mian put on a new bag of oxygen and started a new day on the road.

The scorching air made Jiang Mian feel dizzy. She was deeply suspicious, was he here to survive?

Tired, hungry and thirsty.

Unfortunately, you can't eat anything outside because of the polluted air.

They will reach the first city tonight. Jiang Mian kept encouraging himself in his heart. If he could hold on for another day, he could take a rest. After another day of walking, he would reach Baicheng.

Jiang Mian now feels that Baicheng, which only takes three days to walk to, is the best choice. If she had chosen other urban areas that would take so many days to walk to, the harsh environment on the road would have made her exhausted.

I wonder if Li Yan has considered this?

But will Li Yan consider her?

Jiang Mian thought about it and glanced at Li Yan, but the other party seemed to be extremely sensitive to sight and immediately turned his head to catch her gaze.

The all-silver mask is very consistent with Li Yan's cold style.

Just when Jiang Mian thought this guy was going to ridicule her, Li Yan just glanced at her coldly and looked away.

Jiang Mian:......

She also thought that Li Yan chose to go to Baicheng because he was afraid that she would die on the road and cause his death as well.

"Sister, do you want to hold hands?" Chi Lin came close to Jiang Mian and asked with a smile.

Jiang Mian's mouth was dry and he didn't want to talk.

Chi Lin took her hand directly. Jiang Mian was a little slow to pull her hand away, but Chi Lin held it tighter. He chuckled and said, "My hands are cold, are they easy to hold?"

Jiang Mian paused, as if he really felt cool. In such scorching weather, is it okay to hold a cool hand?

I'd rather not smoke anymore.

"Sister, do you like it?" Chi Lin's voice swayed.

Jiang Mian:......

She had a feeling that Chi Lin was going to say a lot of dirty talk again, so she pulled her hands away, wanting to stay away from this guy to avoid polluting her ears.

"Sister, are you tired of walking? How about I carry you?" Chi Lin leaned over to Jiang Mian's ear and whispered, "You are not allowed to hold me at night. It's hot now. My dear sister, please let me hold you."

Jiang Mian's feet were numb when he heard this, and he was really tired from walking, so he turned his eyes to look at Chi Lin: "In that case, then please carry me."

Originally, Chi Lin had already prepared himself to be rejected by Jiang Mian.

Hearing this, his expression paused slightly, as if surprised.

Jiang Mian noticed his pause and thought to himself that this guy only talked nonsense and would hesitate when it came to actually doing something.

This made Jiang Mian feel uncomfortable.

"Why? Didn't you say you wanted to hold me?" Jiang Mian smiled slightly. "It's the same if you carry me on your back. Don't you want to?"

"Of course I am willing, sister." Chi Lin came to his senses and immediately agreed.

He walked up to Jiang Mian and squatted down.

Jiang Mian paused, then quickly lay down on it. It was free for him to have someone carry him, so he didn't have to walk by himself. It would be a waste not to use it.

Chi Lin passed his arm through Jiang Mian's legs and nimbly carried her on his back.

Jiang Mian subconsciously hugged Chi Lin's neck. Noticing that his neck was still wrapped in a layer of white gauze, he paused and asked, "Is your neck injury still not healed?"

"Okay." Chi Lin responded with a chuckle.

"So what are you doing..." decoration?

Before Jiang Mian could finish her words, Chi Lin spoke in a unique and contemptuous tone: "A little trick to seduce my sister."

Jiang Mian:......

"Sister, actually I'd rather wrap this gauze around your neck..." Chi Lin said in a low, hoarse voice with a smile, "Then I'll bite the gauze on your neck and tear it apart a little, and then..."

Jiang Mian reached out to cover Chi Lin's mouth, but he could only touch his mask. He gritted his teeth and interrupted him: "You don't have to speak out the dirty nonsense in your head. No one wants to hear it."

"Don't you want to listen and try it?" Chi Lin asked with a smile.

"I don't want to do anything!" Jiang Mian punched Chi Lin's shoulder hard.

She felt like she had struck with great force, but Chi Lin didn't feel any pain.

"Beating is love and scolding is care, so sister loves me." Chi Lin said with a smile in his voice.

Jiang Mian:......

Her mouth was dry and she really didn't want to waste any more saliva.

Halfway through the journey, Jiang Mian felt dizzy from the heat, and he put his head next to Chi Lin's neck, feeling sleepy. Finally, he couldn't help falling asleep.

The black hair fell down and hooked around Chi Lin's neck, which was wrapped in white gauze. A few strands slipped into the white gauze and stuck to the skin of his neck, scratching his neck lightly as he walked.

Chi Lin's Adam's apple rolled up and down slightly, and the black hair that slipped in was also brushed past lightly.

It was almost dusk, and the first city where we could rest temporarily was approaching. The outline of the city could already be vaguely seen.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook.

Jiang Mian just happened to wake up in the shaking, and saw the ground suddenly crack, and a huge, long worm with wings broke through the soil and flew out!

It is black all over, with many white mouthparts on its body and huge black flying insect wings on its back.

One bug is as tall as a building!

Jiang Mian:......

"It's so annoying." Li Yan frowned impatiently. They were almost reaching the rest area, and suddenly a strange insect appeared. Li Yan was really unhappy.

He was unhappy, and he didn't know when a rotating double-sided scimitar appeared in his hand, and he swung the scimitar over with force of his arm.

As the scimitar rushed forward, he also rushed forward swiftly.

The scimitar cut off one of the insect's wings with great precision and sharpness. The entire flying insect swayed unsteadily and fell slightly, but it was still some distance from the ground.

At this time, Li Yan's extremely agile jumping ability allowed him to jump into the air. His hands instantly turned into wolf claws, and he fiercely penetrated into the body of the alien insect, piercing through it.

The entire alien insect's mouthparts bit his arm, biting his arm as if it wanted to drag him into its stomach. Li Yan actually tore the opponent's mouthparts apart, and the sharp wolf claws instantly tore the alien insect's body into pieces.

Blood and Zerg fragments fell to the ground.

The scene was extremely bloody.

The other orcs stood by and watched calmly.

Li Yan picked up the bloodstained double-edged scimitar on the ground, raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Mian and the others: "Let's go."

Jiang Mian was silent for a moment, and he also noticed that they had finally arrived at the first city and could enter to temporarily replenish their nutrition and rest. He patted Chi Lin's shoulder and said, "Put me down."

Chi Lin put her down obediently.

"Well, let's go." Jiang Mian nodded.

She felt like she was surviving in the wilderness. Not only was the living environment harsh, but she also encountered alien insects.

Without the orcs' company, she didn't know if she could survive and reach the city on her own.

The group walked towards the city, which is the Black City.

"Li Yan, is your arm okay?" Jiang Mian asked Li Yan with concern.
