Chapter 57
Wen Bei felt that perhaps he knew him too well, otherwise why would he feel something was wrong when he saw the man showing this playful expression.
He stepped forward and held out his hand: "Let me see."
Qiu Tin actually obediently handed him the notebook and raised his eyebrows to signal him to read on.
Wen Bei took the notebook and started flipping through it. The front contained some normal records, such as his daily routine, which was recorded in great detail, including his dietary preferences.
It can be seen that Bo Ji is indeed taking him as a research subject very seriously.
As for the explanation of his appearance, Boji thought it might be because he had been in this gate hotel since the beginning of the apocalypse, so he had never been contaminated.
This is also what most people think.
Wen Bei turned to the next page, his pupils constricted for a moment, and he finally understood why Qiu Tin had suddenly reacted like that.
[Does the subject have a spouse?: Yes.]
Is the spouse a polluter? Yes.
[The spouse of the observing teammate is named Qiu Tinge, a male polluter of unfathomable strength. The two have a very close relationship.]
Next, Boji used what he had seen and heard to list some evidence that they were in a "couple" relationship. At first glance, his arguments seemed clear and well-reasoned.
Wen Bei felt as if his head was buzzing, as if several planes had bombed him. Amidst the chaos, the word "spouse" stood out particularly.
He looked at Boji, his beautiful cat eyes wide and bright, as if there was a vivid anger burning in them: "We are not a partnership!"
Bo Ji was stunned for a moment, and his black-framed glasses slipped off his nose: "No?"
Wen Bei said categorically: "No!"
He stretched out his foot and kicked Qiu Ting's calf lightly and said, "Explain yourself."
Qiu Tinge didn't dodge, and chuckled in a sexy voice, with an indescribable doting: "Yeah."
Wen Bei's ears turned red, like a bullied kitten baring its teeth and claws: "Don't write nonsense."
It doesn't seem to have any killing power, but instead makes people want to ruffle his ahoge and bully him.
Qiu Tin stood beside him, the smile in his eyes becoming more and more obvious.
"Oh." Boji glanced at him slowly, "I see."
He took the small notebook, took out a pen and wrote something on it.
Wen Bei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He had never thought that he and Qiu Tin had such a relationship in the eyes of outsiders. He felt inexplicably embarrassed.
All this is the fault of this mad dog. It must be because he always acts unconventionally.
Wen Bei glared at the man, and the slightly upturned corners of his eyes seemed to have little hooks.
Qiu Ding gladly accepted his anger.
Bo Ji silently wrote down a few more words: [The subject of observation has a tsundere nature and does not admit his or her relationship to outsiders.]
...
After some preparation, it was getting dark and the sunset would appear in two hours.
Wen Bei saw A Luo's anxiety and took the initiative to suggest: "Let's go now."
A Luo was stunned for a moment: "Is it okay?"
He stuttered, feeling really embarrassed.
Not only did he have to ask his boss to accompany him, he even had to hurry on the journey.
In this world of ice and snow, he is just an ordinary person. If he gets sick from the cold...
Meeting A Luo's worried eyes, Wen Bei remembered that he was still an ordinary person in their eyes.
He reassured her, "I'm fine."
Facts have proved that even if one has superpowers and physical fitness has been improved, the cold-sensitive constitution has not improved much, but one will not get sick easily.
As soon as he stepped out of the hotel, Wen Bei wrapped himself up like a ball. After putting on rabbit fur earmuffs and rabbit fur gloves, his delicate little face looked even more childish.
At least you won't freeze to death.
This was the only way he could comfort himself.
After being modified by Bo Ji and others, the car became very suitable for driving on snow. The only problem was that the speed would be slower.
The car is also equipped with a hot air system to make the interior of the car a little warmer.
There were four of them in total, driving a car that could carry eight people. There was more than enough space, even enough for people to lie down and sleep in the back seat.
Wen Bei held a hand warmer in his arms and glanced at the man sitting next to him.
She was only wearing a sweater under her black windbreaker, without even buttoning it up. She was dressed so casually, but she didn't feel cold at all. She looked more like a ball next to him.
The gap between people is so huge, Wen Bei feels a little depressed.
Qiu Tinge seemed to sense his invisible envy. With a slight movement of his fingers, his supernatural power conjured up a dragon tail about as thick as an adult's arm, which was placed directly on Wen Bei's leg. The tip of the tail swung back and forth, emitting heat at the same time.
It was warmer and more tempting than the hand warmer in his arms.
Wen Bei was reserved for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the tip of the tail. He hugged the tail in his arms, and the coldness in his body was immediately driven away. He was so comfortable that his eyes narrowed.
Bo Ji, who was driving in front, was originally determining the driving route with A Luo. While they were talking, they suddenly noticed a warning gaze.
The two of them looked at the rearview mirror at the same time, and were caught off guard by the sight of Wen Bei sleeping with his tail in his arms, leaning on Qiu Tinge's shoulder.
It turned out that the young man had fallen asleep at some point, and the man consciously leaned to the side and adjusted his body so that he could sleep more comfortably.
The sensible tail also wrapped around the young man's waist for support.
Qiu Tin raised his eyes and looked at them through the rearview mirror with a cold look.
Boji and A Luo were so scared that they looked away. They both shut their mouths tacitly and stopped talking.
The car suddenly became silent, with only the sound of the wind whistling outside the window and the occasional dying cries of the filthy creatures being hunted.
...
They drove in the snow for two days. Wen Bei used Qiu Ting's tail as a hand warmer. He was a little embarrassed at first, but later he got more and more comfortable with it.
Almost as soon as he stretched out his hand, the tail would come over automatically, wagging the tip of the tail.
Wen Bei touched the tail in his arms. The texture was like the hard scales of a dragon in the legend, but it did not cut his hands. The sharpest parts automatically tightened and fitted when he touched them, a bit like warm jade that would automatically heat up when played with.
Wen Bei: "Is the route we are heading towards now the same transportation route?"
A Luo felt heavy-hearted: "Yeah."
Their situation was not optimistic. Despite Bo Ji's help, they did not deviate from the route at all, but could not find any trace of the convoy.
The heavy snow covered almost everything.
The atmosphere grew increasingly depressing.
Wen Bei took out a milk pot and said to cheer them up: "Let's cook some instant noodles."
Instant noodles are extremely insignificant in the apocalypse. No one produces them after the apocalypse, and they almost disappeared after the third year. So when Wen Bei took out the instant noodles, Bo Ji and A Luo immediately came over.
Ah Luo wiped his face and regained his composure: "I'll cook it."
Wen Bei: "Just go pick up something to burn."
The snow was wet and it was not easy to make a fire.
After agreeing, A Luo walked away. He wanted to find some dead wood for firewood.
Dead wood is a very common pollutant in polluted areas and is also a rare plant with weak attack power.
Hollow mouths and eyes appear on the bark, as if staring at everyone who approaches. It will not react if filth lands on it, but will emit an unpleasant whine if attacked.
They have strong reproductive and regeneration abilities. Their roots are hundreds of meters long in the ground. Even if they are damaged to the point where only a small piece of root remains, they can grow into towering trees again.
It is a fuel that polluters love very much in polluted areas.
He had learned all this common knowledge about contaminated areas from Bo Ji in the past two days, and the relationship between the two had grown rapidly.
A Luo looked up and soon found a dead tree. It was covered with heavy snow and there was not a single green leaf.
Dead wood cannot produce green leaves.
A Luo used his special ability to shovel off a large piece of bark. Just as he was about to take it away, he suddenly found a strange bulge on the bark in front of him.
It seems to be still wriggling.
"What is this?" A Luo muttered and reached out to touch it.
The next second, a brightly colored poisonous scorpion came out from inside, and its deformed tail pierced straight into his finger. At the critical moment, he was grabbed by a small white figure and his body fell back suddenly.
I fell on my butt in the snow without any pain, avoiding the risk of being stabbed by filth.
Seeing that its sneak attack failed, the poisonous scorpion raised its tail and tried to move closer. It was a filthy creature with extremely strong poison. Even a polluter with strong physical fitness would have a mortality rate of up to 50% if stung.
A Luo was so frightened that he stepped back and stabbed it with the spear in his hand.
The poisonous scorpion was small in size and moved very quickly, so he couldn't hit it for a while, and instead it moved a little closer.
Just as it was about to jump over me, I was stepped on hard by a white pad of flesh.
A Luo opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then he saw clearly that the one who had just saved his life was the familiar white fox.
The white fox was still shedding tears of blood. It closed its eyes tightly and accurately bit the poisonous scorpion, obviously treating it as its prey.
With another graceful leap, he disappeared into the white snow.
"Wait!" A Luo stretched out his hand in its direction, then put it down in disappointment after a few seconds.
Wen Bei came over after hearing the sound: "What's wrong?"
A Luo explained what had just happened in general, his expression very excited: "It's true, I said that the white fox must be real!"
After hearing his explanation that day, many passengers thought he must have been frozen silly and was hallucinating.
How could there be a filthy creature that would bring humans to a hotel on its own initiative?
"But why doesn't it want to come close to us?" A Luo's expression became distressed.
If the first help was a coincidence, the second time definitely could not be a coincidence.
It has been observing them silently in the dark.
Wen Bei: "You just said it took the scorpion as its prey?"
"Yeah." Luo didn't quite understand why he asked that.
Wen Bei thought for a moment: "Maybe I can find a way to lure it out."
Before crossing over, he had fed stray cats and dogs in several places where he worked.
He is very good at kidnapping small animals.
