◎Kneel down and kiss the back of your hand, calling you queen◎
Several pairs of eyes crowded behind the withered wall, pushing and shoving each other, all wanting to see clearly what was happening outside.
Bei Ran, who was squeezed all over the place, suddenly missed Captain Ling.
At this time, we just need to share our vision so that everyone can see what is happening outside.
Yan Jue clenched his hands tightly, frowning as a possibility emerged in his mind.
Just now, he even had the urge to destroy the withered wall and go out directly, overturning the entire plant maze with metal, including the ferocious but attack-incapable monster, and die together with everything.
But no matter what, he always retained a life-saving glimmer of rationality.
Doing so would completely cut off everyone's escape route...including Rong Xiao.
Why not believe her?
Yan Jue thought a lot at that moment. Rong Xiao had never let anyone down. Even if what she was doing now seemed risky, she must have had her plans.
The feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger, until it was almost about to explode, but he forcibly suppressed it.
Yan Jue, who seemed calm and composed, was nothing but the boiling magma beneath the iceberg.
"Not moving? Why not moving?" Su Ming, who had finally grabbed a seat, took a look and was kicked away by Yan Jue again.
"Mind control... maybe." Yan Jue didn't want to say it too absolutely.
In the square, the monster seemed to have really turned into a stone statue, standing motionless in a scratching posture.
Rong Xiao clenched the game coins in his hand, staring at the monster's eyes without moving, slowly stepped back, and moved the withered plant wall away.
"Look, I got it." Rong Xiao raised the thing in his hand, and the first thing he did was to show it to Yan Jue.
Yan Jue looked at the game coins, seemingly showing little interest. He suddenly took a deep breath, opened his arms and hugged her: "I'm glad you're okay."
Everyone around was startled and felt like a light bulb that suddenly lit up, and immediately moved to the side.
Carrying Rong Xiao on his back, Yan Jue raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Jing who was squeezed in the crowd. His eyebrows twitched slightly, as if provoking and warning him.
"I'm fine, let's keep moving forward. We only have one left." Rong Xiao patted Yan Jue's shoulder as if comforting a child, then got out of his arms and returned to the front of the team.
Before Yan Jue could catch him and bring him back to his side, Yan Jing patted Su Ming's shoulder and gossiped quietly, "What's the relationship between Yan Jue and Rong Xiao?"
"What's the relationship?" Su Ming glanced at that face and said unhappily, "They weren't on the same team before. They're just ordinary friends."
"I see."
After he finished speaking, he grabbed the back of Yan Jing's collar and pulled him in front of him without mercy.
A palm patted his shoulder gently, and a voice that sounded gentle but also had a warning tone rang out: "Behave yourself, you can't even protect yourself."
"Who said that?" Yan Jing snorted coldly and shook his shoulders to shake off Yan Jue's hand.
Yan Jue was at the end of the team, constantly on guard against the giant mutant zombie catching up with him, but after walking for a long time, it was extremely quiet behind him, without any sound at all.
The road in the second half became increasingly difficult. They went around in circles and encountered dead ends several times. They were afraid that the mutant zombies would get lost themselves.
This time there were a lot of people in the team, a long line, like the snake in the Snake game, twisting and turning in the maze.
Rong Xiao did not interfere with the arrangements of Brother Meng's team, and only led his own people in the front.
Halfway through, Brother Meng patted Yan Jue on the shoulder and asked if he wanted Yan Jing to return to their team.
Yan Jing was about to run away when Yan Jue smiled and refused him, saying that something had happened.
Brother Meng's expression suddenly changed, his eyes met Yan Jing's, he paused for several seconds and then looked away silently.
He looked up at Rong Xiao and others in front of him, said nothing, calmed down and continued walking forward.
"rustle……"
Strong sounds were heard again all around.
They are everywhere, and it is impossible to tell where the danger is.
Brother Meng's expression changed, and he immediately picked up his weapon: "Everyone be careful!!"
Shua La - Yi Yi towards the splendor of nature and settle down at the end of the world
The "door" on the right suddenly opened, and a withered green zombie rushed out howling wildly. Tang Yiyi was startled and swung her weapon to hit the zombie on the head.
The first blow killed her, and she pulled back her hand to try the second blow—
The weapon is stuck in the skull!
Tang Yiyi felt cold all over, as if the god of death was waving at her.
She knew very well what kind of people were in the team. If she was bitten, her teammates would calmly and without hesitation kill her with a knife.
A slender but well-defined arm suddenly appeared in my stunned and panicked eyes.
Silently, Nie Fuxi suddenly took a step forward and thrust her hand towards the zombie's mouth.
This time, Tang Yiyi's heart seemed to be hit hard.
If her teammates were bitten by zombies because of her... she wouldn't be able to live peacefully!
It would be better to die.
Tang Yiyi took a deep breath and felt the energy in her body burst out. The stuck weapon was forcibly pulled out, and she howled fiercely as if she was about to finish off the opponent.
As a result, Nie Fuxi retracted her hand, and a sharp ice cone was slowly pulled out from her palm, and the other end had already pierced the zombie's head.
The ice cone melted quickly after being pulled out. Nie Fuxi shook her hands, raised her eyes and looked at Tang Yiyi without saying a word.
But Tang Yiyi understood the meaning of that look, and she quickly shook her head: "I'm fine, I'm fine."
Nie Fuxi withdrew her gaze, squatted down and checked the zombie, but did not see any game coins.
Like a silent and capable robot, Nie Fuxi stood up and shook her head in the direction of Rong Xiao after a careful inspection.
"Then let's keep going." Rong Xiao didn't review it again. She believed in Nie Fuxi's ability.
"Is this the exit?" Tian Yichuang shouted in shock as he looked at the exit leading to the outside ten meters away.
"But, isn't this just one game coin short? How come we're at the exit?" Looking back at where he came from, a trace of despair rose in Su Ming's heart.
After finally getting out of the dangerous maze, do I have to go back and look for it again?
"How about we go back and look carefully nearby?" Tian Yichuang was not sure, but there was only this last one left, and they didn't want to fail.
Shangguan Yu glanced at the exit that was just a few feet away, raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go back and take a look."
As he spoke, he pushed the person in front and signaled everyone to turn around and walk back.
When everyone turned around and started walking back, Shangguan Yu suddenly turned around and looked towards the exit.
Seeing him turn around, Rong Xiao also turned around. At the same time, Yan Jue went against the direction of the others and did not follow.
"Stop!" Shangguan Yu suddenly shouted.
The figures walking back stopped immediately, and all looked nervously at the surrounding plant wall again and again.
Not finding any danger, Tian Yichuan frowned and patted Shangguan Yu on the back: "What are you calling?"
"Don't look back, just go out and get out directly." Shangguan Yu said decisively.
"But, we're still short of one game coin!"
"Who can guarantee that the last game coin is definitely inside the maze?"
It was like a drop of ice water waking everyone up, and everyone realized that they were limited by fixed thinking.
All the previous game coins were found in the maze, so everyone subconsciously thought that the last one should also be in the maze.
Even if they see the exit, most people will choose to go back and check again because the last one has not been found.
In particular, after coming out of the square, we encountered a zombie along the way, but it was not dangerous.
The urge to go back and search will become stronger and stronger.
"But, what if there is nothing outside... I mean, if we are really in the maze, will the mission be judged as failed the moment we get out?" Fang Yi didn't want to contradict Shangguan Yu, he was just worried that this possibility might exist.
"As we were walking back, the plants were growing," Shangguan Yu continued glancing at the exit. "The further we go, the faster they grow. Maybe by the time we go back all the way and come back here, the exit will have been completely sealed."
Yan Jue was afraid that others didn't understand, so he added, "Destroying the plant wall will only increase the damage to the maze."
"But, we are here, we can cut it open." Yan Jing couldn't help but retort.
Yan Jue looked at him sideways as if he was looking at a fool. He made no effort to hide his disdain. "But, the rules of this mission are based on those who have bracelets. Who could have imagined that so many people without bracelets would come along?"
Yan Jing shut up obediently, whistling and looking up at the sky.
"Someone's helping us find an exit now," Tang Yiyi squeezed her head out of the crowd and asked quietly, "Are you really not going back to look for it?"
"Don't you think we got out too smoothly?" Shangguan Yu suddenly asked.
Tang Yiyi was speechless. After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't deny it and was forced to nod.
"Before, we encountered ambushes every certain distance or time, but as soon as we came out of the square, we encountered a zombie. Doesn't it look like a trap?"
"It's as if it's telling us clearly that it's safe to go back, so go ahead and do it."
"Once the exit is sealed, Brother Meng and the others don't have special abilities and can only chop with their hands. If a group of zombies suddenly appear from all directions and besiege us... can we really escape unscathed in such a small space?"
Tang Yiyi was convinced. She pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Shangguan Yu’s words made sense, and the concerns of the others were also correct. The team members who were unable to make a decision all focused their attention on Rong Xiao.
Rong Xiao did not make a decision immediately. She took two steps back. The vines behind her were indeed growing with her pace and distance.
The direction of growth is to close the exit.
"Go out." After Rong Xiao confirmed this, he made the decision immediately.
Tang Yiyi, Fang Yi and Meng Xiao were a little surprised.
Such an important decision, are you really not going to think about it any more?
"Captain, really...?"
Rong Xiao nodded firmly: "Go out. I also searched when I was walking in front just now. I can confirm that I didn't miss any game coins."
"But they..." Meng Xiao carefully pointed in the direction of Brother Meng.
It’s not that he didn’t trust Rong Xiao, but he was worried that they might have missed something.
"We searched very carefully, there's no way we missed anything!" Meng's teammates behind him retorted unhappily, "You must be joking. Our Meng is famous for his photographic memory. How could he possibly miss something when searching for something like this?"
Yan Jing poked Yan Jue and helped emphasize: "Really, Brother Meng is very reliable, there will be no problem."
"The task given by the light curtain is to collect 10 game coins." Rong Xiao could tell that some people disagreed with going out, and his tone became more resolute. "It doesn't stipulate that you must collect all of them before you can leave. I trust Shangguan's judgment. If I don't find the last coin after I go out, I can go back in alone."
There was complete silence all around.
His words were so confident that they were almost arrogant, but they did not make people feel that Rong Xiao was self-righteous.
If it were someone else, they might not be able to believe it, but they knew Rong Xiao's strength very well, and her words were definitely not false comfort.
"I believe Xiaoxiao, and I also believe Xiaoyu's judgment." With that, Shangguan Huai ran out.
Tian Yichuan followed closely behind, and also pushed Fang Yi: "Let's go, let's go, there will be no problem."
This matter had nothing to do with Brother Meng and the others. After all, it was also for the purpose of helping. He looked at Rong Xiao, and couldn't help but look back in the direction they came from, and took his men to follow Tian Yichuang out.
Yan Jue also took Yan Jing out. As soon as he left, Lao Wei, Nie Fuxi and Bei Ran also went out.
There were fewer and fewer people left. Even though they still had some concerns, they would not be able to escape unscathed if they went back to look for the person on their own. So they simply made up their minds, took a gamble, and turned around to run away.
After everyone had left the maze, Rong Xiao was the last one to come out.
The vines at the exit suddenly grew faster and soon turned into a thick plant wall, completely blocking the exit and making it impossible to get in.
"Hurry up and look outside to see if there are any game coins." Tian Yichuang rolled up his sleeves, blocked the glaring sunlight above his head with his hands, and began to look for something around.
Shangguan Yu stood still, his hands folded at the exit, as if waiting for something to happen.
"Why are you standing there? Come and look for it quickly." Shangguan Huai urged, hunched over.
The ever-growing vines blocked the exit more and more tightly. Tang Yiyi, Fang Yi and Meng Xiao were sweating profusely. They looked at that direction reluctantly, their hearts pounding wildly.
The vines have been growing for a long time, completely blocking the view.
After searching around for a long time, everyone was a little discouraged. Brother Meng also brought people outside to help, but after searching for more than ten minutes, even turning over the fallen leaves on the ground, they still couldn't find it.
"Could it really be in the maze?" someone in Brother Meng's team asked cautiously.
After he finished speaking, Brother Meng glared at him and signaled him not to talk too much.
Rong Xiao was sitting at the table and chair next to him, holding the game coins in his hand and counting them carefully one by one.
Nine, just one missing.
"Why don't we go in from the entrance again and have a try? We might get blocked later and then we really can't get in." As she said that, Tang Yiyi started to move her hands and feet again, ready to go in and fight hard.
Rong Xiao paused, glanced at the vines still crawling at the exit, and said, "Don't worry, wait a little longer."
The sun was very strong above our heads, and it scorched our skin, making it hurt a little.
Shangguan Yu also stood at the exit of the maze, as if waiting for the vines to calm down.
Just when everyone's hearts were about to fall into the abyss, a strange phenomenon occurred.
After the vine closed the exit, one of the branches swayed and extended outside, finally stopping in mid-air and turning into a pale pink flower bud.
The flowers grew larger and larger and finally began to bloom.
When the petals were fully opened, there was actually a green game coin inside.
When the flower appeared, Shangguan Yu kept stretching his head to look, until he saw the game coin, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Xiao took the game coin out of the petals, and his palm was actually stained with a little bit of the flower's fragrance.
"Oh my God, it's actually...it's actually true..." Tang Yiyi, Fang Yi and Meng Xiao were so shocked that they were already in a daze.
Tian Yichuan and Shangguan Huai were used to it. They glanced at the game coin and didn't seem surprised at all: "The game coins are all here, but where are the things we want?"
"There's an exchange box over there, let's go and take a look." While the others were busy looking for game coins, Yan Jue had already dragged Yan Jing around to look around and found an old and huge exchange box.
Yan Jue had the same idea as Shangguan Yu. He didn't think that the last game coin would be hidden somewhere casually, but it must be related to the maze, and the most likely place was near the closed exit.
There are so many people watching over there, there is no need for him to look for it alone. It would be better for him to study the subsequent operations.
The prizes are displayed inside the redemption machine, and there is a coin slot next to it. The prizes are different depending on the number of coins inserted. There are also empty boxes that have not been replaced in time, as well as various plush toys, pendants and other things.
Rong Xiao counted the ten game coins and, following Yan Jue's instructions, put them into the exchange machine one by one.
The machine, which looked old and tattered, actually started to run, making a clanging noise, as if there was a conveyor belt turning inside, and finally it made three consecutive crisp ring sounds.
Three large boxes rolled to the ground from the exchange counter.
"Wow!!! It actually exists!" Tang Yiyi exclaimed beside him.
Tian Yichuang and Wei Feng opened the three boxes and checked them, confirming that the contents were exactly what was listed on the list, with no more or less.
"Let's go back." The ease of completing the task made Tian Yichuang whistle happily, picked up the box and walked towards the parking lot.
Meng Ge followed hesitantly. His stature and height made Rong Xiao look even smaller. "Can we go with you... back to the safe zone?"
"Okay, let's go together." Rong Xiao hooked his finger and gestured for them to get in the car together with a smile.
Brother Meng, who had a tense expression, suddenly relaxed and waved behind him with a smile: "Hurry up and don't waste other people's time."
"yes!"
After everyone else was seated, Meng Ge's teammates immediately got on the bus and squatted down in a corner. Everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation.
Especially after hearing about the situation in the safe zone, they yearned for it even more.
"Come with me." Yan Jing also wanted to sit in the back of the pickup truck, but Yan Jue snatched him away and he went to the back seat next door alone.
He had no choice but to be held down with an unwilling look on his face.
"Xiaoxiao, look carefully. This is the forward gear. This is the brake. Step on it and the car will slow down. Step on it harder and the car will stop. The one next to it is the accelerator. The harder you step on it, the faster the car will go!" Tian Yichuan taught Rong Xiao how to drive while driving. "The steering wheel controls the direction of the car. Your hands and feet need to be coordinated. You need to be calm while driving. You will become proficient with more driving."
Rong Xiao listened very carefully, sitting in the passenger seat, imitating Tian Yichuang's driving movements, practicing without a real object.
It was getting dark, but fortunately they were getting closer and closer to the safe zone, and they would arrive in more than ten minutes. Yan Jing suddenly said that he had to go to the bathroom urgently and wanted to get off the car.
Tian Yichuang didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but Yan Jue also said that he wanted to go to the bathroom, so he had to find a safe place to park.
"hurry up."
"I know, I know."
As soon as Yan Jing got out of the car, he started running like a wild dog. He ran to a deserted place, looked left and right, and was about to take something out of his bag when suddenly a pair of feet appeared in front of him.
Looking up, Yan Jue was standing right in front of him.
"What do you want? Why do you always follow me?" Yan Jing pulled his hand out of the bag just as he was about to take something.
Yan Jue lowered his eyes and glanced at his backpack, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and a metal box quickly flew out of the bag and the lid opened automatically.
"Damn, you did it? Give it back to me!!" Yan Jing snatched it away and tried to hide it guiltily.
"Don't hide it, I know what it is. Are you trying to disguise the wound?"
Yan Jing paused and stepped back defensively: "You already know, and you're still asking? Even though I've been captured, I...but I won't mutate."
"What makes you so sure?"
The sun was covered by clouds and a cold wind suddenly blew around.
After a long silence, Yan Jing suddenly spoke, lifting his sleeve to reveal an old scar: "This is not the first time I've been scratched."
Yan Jue seemed to have thought of something, and something seemed to be spreading in his eyes, suddenly becoming clear.
"Then if people find out that you have scars on your body and can't get in, I won't help you." Yan Jue stopped talking and turned to walk towards the car.
Yan Jing rolled his eyes and muttered softly, "Don't worry, I'll disguise it well."
"Whether you can mutate or not is not something you can rely on just words. Once you enter the base, I will monitor you at all times and will not allow you to harm anyone."
"Oh, I know, especially Rong Xiao, right?" Yan Jing deliberately stretched his neck and spoke in a strange voice, then jumped away nimbly after speaking.
Yan Jue laughed out loud, as if hearing a joke. His gaze turned towards him, filled with strong sarcasm: "If you really mutate into a zombie, I advise you to pray that you don't meet her."
"Why?" Yan Jing was curious.
Yan Jue didn't answer, leaving behind a distant and meaningful back.
As soon as he left, Yan Jing quickly took out makeup tools to cover up her wounds.
First apply a layer of skin wax to cover the wound, and when the time is almost up, use concealer that is close to your skin tone to even out the color.
In order to achieve a realistic effect, Yan Jing also drew "missing" hand hair on himself.
If you don't touch it with your hands and look at it very carefully, you can easily get away with it.
People infected by zombies mutate very quickly, but he hasn't mutated yet, so it stands to reason that there's little possibility of him mutating.
Although he could explain it as other wounds, in order to avoid encountering a healing psychic, he had no choice but to use this method to sneak in.
The wounds caused by zombies cannot be healed by people with healing abilities, and they will be exposed if they catch one of them.
After perfectly concealing the wound, Yan Jing sprayed it with anti-makeup spray and waited for it to dry completely before carefully putting down her sleeve.
On the last short stretch back to the safe zone, Yan Jing carefully protected his arm to prevent Yan Jue from doing anything bad on purpose.
But the person who always contradicted him on weekdays deliberately kept a distance from him and even pressed his entire body against the car door.
Yan Jing knew that he was not afraid of himself mutating.
Although this brother always says one thing and means another, he knows exactly what he is thinking.
When the car arrived at the gate of the safe zone, Meng Ge and others and Yan Jing were also stunned.
This is completely different from the "base" they envisioned!
The tall and solid walls and the sentry posts on the walls were all like the configurations in science fiction movies he had seen before.
After confirming that it was the team that had left the safe zone, the gate was opened and they were let in. The car was parked in the buffer zone, and all people were checked in the rooms on both sides according to gender.
Yan Jue glanced at Yan Jing and said nothing.
Fortunately, the people who checked did not do anything. After using their eyes to determine that there were no new bloody wounds on their bodies, they took the newcomers to the waiting area for assignment.
At this time, Yan Jue suddenly walked towards one of the staff members. When Yan Jing saw him, his heart suddenly started beating wildly.
It was unclear what the two of them were talking about. They kept looking over here while talking, but they didn't show any intention of throwing him out.
Yan Jue has finished the inspection, and the team is about to reunite and wait for the inventory of supplies and the calculation of points.
There were many people passing by the gate. When they heard that a team was coming back, they stopped curiously to join in the fun. They stared at the team score screen, wanting to see how much they had brought back.
The staff member holding the paper list was diligently marking things on his notebook. After confirming that all the medicines were found, he asked Rong Xiao beside him in surprise, "Are you going to the designated map?"
"yes."
"That's impossible. How could they find so many?"
It’s not that the staff doesn’t believe in their abilities, but many teams have gone to that area, and most of them returned empty-handed.
We didn't have high hopes when we assigned them this list, but who would have thought they would bring back so many.
"We encountered bubbles over there." Rong Xiao explained again.
The staff member suddenly realized what was going on, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, these medicines arrived very promptly, especially the insulin."
The points were quickly tallied up and the staff member pointed happily at the screen.
"It will be updated soon, and the rankings will be updated too, so just wait and see."
"Oh! Okay! Thank you!" Rong Xiao nodded.
The staff member laughed and said, "Why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you for risking your life to bring back the supplies."
As she spoke, she took the counted amount of supplies and ran towards a small hut.
Everyone in the team stood under the screen, waiting for the points and ranking results to be updated.
Some members of other teams passing by couldn't help but slow down their pace, curious about how many points Rong Xiao's team could get.
On second thought, everyone knew that they were going to that crappy map, and the list they were assigned was very difficult, so how many points could they get?
It’s good enough that it’s not a complete failure.
He shook his head and was about to leave when he caught a glimpse of the screen showing the ranking changes. He was so stunned that he almost missed the step next to him and fell to the ground.
Ranked fifth: Team No. 68, captain Rong Xiao, vice captain Yan Jue.
"Fuck, is this a mistake?" someone shouted on the side of the road.
They climbed into the top five in one go, and their accumulated points even surpassed many teams that had gone out on several missions.
The points on the list of supplies that Rong Xiao and his team got were higher than those of ordinary items, but they were very difficult to find. Some people had found a lot of them in the past, but later they were almost all used up, and it was not so easy to find them anymore.
This time they used bubbles to obtain supplies and brought back three large boxes in one go, directly surpassing dozens of teams in points.
"Wow, I'm already fifth place. That's fast." Rong Xiao raised his head, his eyes illuminated by the light from the screen.
"Does that mean that our salaries this month will be very high?" Shangguan Huai began to rub his hands excitedly.
Shangguan Yu showed no interest. He half-closed his eyes and spoke weakly: "Whatever, I'm tired, Captain. Can I go home and rest?"
"Oh yes, everyone has worked hard today, go home and rest early!" Rong Xiao said a few words casually, and let everyone go back to rest, leaving Yan Jue standing there without moving.
Yan Jue's eyes were clearly looking at her, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Do you have anything else to tell me?" Rong Xiao thought of his dream last night and looked at him tentatively with sparkling eyes.
"Go home and rest first. I'll come back to you after I take care of something."
"Will you definitely come?"
"must."
Only after receiving his affirmative answer did Rong Xiao feel at ease to leave.
Yan Jue also returned home, but he did not go into the house immediately. Instead, he stood in the corridor with his arms folded as if waiting for someone.
About ten minutes later, Yan Jing appeared, dragging his tired body.
"Why are you here?" Yan Jing walked around him and went to the door of his room. "Don't tell me you are blocking me on purpose?"
"Why are you so dark-minded? I live here too." Yan Jue said with a smile, deliberately opening the door next to Yan Jing.
Yan Jing: “???”
"How's it like living next door to me? Are you happy?"
"Happy as hell!! Did you arrange this on purpose?"
"You living here will make it easier for me to monitor you. After all, your situation is still unknown."
Yan Jing stretched out his hand and tried to rip his clothes, but Yan Jue dodged swiftly, missing his chance. He couldn't help but get even angrier: "I said I'm fine, I..."
The voice reached its highest point and then stopped abruptly, as if there was a secret that could not be told.
"Come in, let's talk inside." Yan Jing pushed the door open and waited reluctantly for Yan Jue to come in.
When they were alone, Yan Jing lowered his voice and took out a bottle from his bag: "I couldn't believe it at first, but I think I got vaccinated before the end of the world."
Yan Jue frowned and took the thing he handed over and looked at it. The bottle did look like a vaccine bottle, but it was empty.
"Where did you get it?"
"Dad called me."
“…”
"Why don't you speak?"
Yan Jue didn't answer, but took out a badge from his body: "Do you remember this thing?"
"No impression, what is this?"
"It was also left by my father, but this thing... has a lot of implications. Remember not to tell anyone that you are related to this symbol." Yan Jue was afraid that he didn't understand the importance of the matter, so he pointed to the empty bottle again, "Especially this, don't tell anyone."
"But, some people already know that I won't mutate if I'm captured by zombies. Is this... a problem?"
"Your teammate?"
Yan Jing nodded uneasily.
"Hurry up and inform them to keep it secret, if," Yan Jue paused, "they can trust it."
"I can trust it, I can definitely trust it."
"By the way, you said your dad gave you the vaccine, where is he?"
Yan Jing stroked his chin and recalled, "The situation was very urgent at the time. He said I had to get a shot of the vaccine. After giving me the shot, he hurried out and never came back." His eyes suddenly turned red. "Could he be dead?"
"uncertain."
"Did you find anything?"
"No."
"Tsk, you said that so firmly."
Yan Jue took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing: "Stay here and don't go anywhere. I have something to do."
After leaving Yan Jing's room, Yan Jue opened the door next door and went home. He picked out a clean change of clothes from the closet and went to the bathroom.
After tidying himself up carefully, Yan Jue quietly looked at his clean and tidy self in the mirror, took a deep breath, took the key and went out.
It’s not far from where he lives to Rong Xiao’s home, only a dozen minutes’ walk.
It was getting dark and the number of pedestrians on the street was decreasing. It seemed that everyone was busy going home for dinner.
When Yan Jue passed by the cake shop next door, he bought two freshly baked cakes and brought them up.
In good condition.
I'm in a good mood too.
The atmosphere should be good too.
Yan Jue stood at the gate of Rong Xiao's house, took a deep breath, and was about to raise his hand when he suddenly heard someone talking inside.
"Yes, it's me."
This seems to be... Yan Jing's voice? ?
Subconsciously, Yan Jue almost used his supernatural power to unlock the door, but at the moment when the supernatural power was about to overflow, he restrained himself and raised his hand to knock on the door again.
"Knock knock knock." There was a rapid knock on the door.
Brisk footsteps reached the door. Rong Xiao saw Yan Jue and the smile on his face was as bright as the moon at night: "You're here."
"Yan Jing is here?" Yan Jue kept smiling, but his tone was gritted when he said that name.
"Oh yes, I was telling him about Mr. Mosaic."
Yan Jue: “???”
Without waiting for Rong Xiao to invite him in, Yan Jue nimbly slipped into the room and saw Yan Jing sitting on the sofa.
"Wow, you came really fast."
"Didn't I tell you not to wander around?"
"Oh, I just wanted to come and talk to Rong Xiao about you. We brothers have been separated for so long, I don't know what you've been through."
Yan Jue sat down with a half-smile: "You can ask me."
"I don't want to talk to you." Yan Jing grinned, said hello to Rong Xiao and left.
It seemed like he had been there for some time, and the two of them talked about something.
After the troublemaker left, Yan Jue took out the cake and asked casually, "What were you talking about just now? About Mr. Mosaic?"
"Yeah, Mr. Mosaic said last night that we would meet today." Rong Xiao's attention was focused on the cake. He cut off a large piece with a fork and put it in his mouth. "I didn't expect to meet him today. He happened to come to see me, so I confirmed it."
"What happened to him?"
"He said he was Mr. Mosaic."
Yan Jue's hand almost deformed the paper plate in his hand: "Do you believe what he said?"
"I don't believe it," Rong Xiao suddenly smiled at him and buried his head in his food again, "But he's your brother, so I didn't expose him. Later he asked how we met and what happened on the way, and I chatted with him casually."
"Why don't you believe it?" Yan Jue was not curious about other people's affairs at all, and the topic unconsciously revolved around Teacher Mosaic.
Rong Xiao paused, then took the time to reply: "Feeling, I can feel that he is not. I believe in feelings."
As if he was very satisfied with the answer, Yan Jue let out a sigh and continued to eat the cake.
Rong Xiao ate quickly, as if completing a task. After finishing the cake, he sat beside him and stared into his eyes seriously: "I have something I want to discuss with you!"
"What's up?"
Here we come! Here we come!
"I suspect that every time I develop a new ability, it has nothing to do with the 'game'."
Wait, why isn't that what he was thinking?
Yan Jue still didn’t know what the “game” was, he just vaguely felt that Rong Xiao’s words were a little strange.
Rong Xiao had no one better to discuss this matter with. She originally wanted to talk to Shangguan Yu, but when she called, Shangguan Huai said that he had already gone to bed and was sleeping so soundly that he wouldn't even open the door when she knocked.

Yan Jue didn't rush to speak. He sorted out what she said before offering a guess: "Although it sounded like it was related to the 'game' at first, judging from what happened later, the activation of your new ability should have nothing to do with the 'game', but was due to other reasons."
"What could that be?" Rong Xiao rubbed his chin and thought for a few minutes before finally admitting defeat, "I can't think of it."
"Why don't you recall the superpowers that appeared recently? Or maybe you can try to use your superpowers again, maybe..."
"Using superpowers is not allowed in the base."
“No one’s watching here.”
"But you should keep your word."
Yan Jue was amused by her and reached out to touch her head: "Perhaps if you try to use your supernatural powers and recall your state at that time, you may find the answer."
"The last thing I realized was...mind control?" Rong Xiao looked at him, his gaze shifting to the left and then back to the right.
