Chapter 114
The place where Wen Xin woke up was a dilapidated old residential area on the western outskirts of G City.
This neighborhood is very much like a dangerous building to be demolished. The railings at the door are non-existent, and it is backed by mountains and forests where wild beasts run rampant. There are gaps in the walls, and the main feature is that anyone can come in without warning.
If it had been a few days ago - or even two days ago, the strong wind would not have used this leaky community on all sides as a temporary base.
But there was no choice. Xiao Hei's violent outburst reduced almost half of G City to ruins.
Especially at several locations where the first base was stationed, houses collapsed and trees were broken, and there was not a single intact place.
The people who survived engraved the horror of the Tyrannosaurus in their hearts, and only dared to poke their heads out from behind the shelters tremblingly after the disaster subsided.
Then they were dumbfounded.
The land in front of me was so clean that it had experienced the triple ravages of magma, hurricanes and thunderstorms. Not only were there no houses, but not even a blade of grass was left!
So, when the vast majority of the survivors found in despair that they could only sit outdoors, this old neighborhood which had escaped disaster due to its remote location suddenly changed and its value soared, becoming comparable to a five-star hotel.
Wen Jinfeng was able to get one of the buildings by snatching it away... ahem! He negotiated it through sweet talk.
The men had already cleaned the room, wiped away the accumulated dust, threw away the mess, and then used wooden boards and sheets to barely block the broken brick walls.
As soon as the window was opened, the cool breeze blew into the room, and the room suddenly became spacious and bright.
Li Yongming reports on the current situation.
"…All personnel at the First Base had evacuated two hours ago. They left in a hurry, and many of the newer equipment and instruments were left in the camp and were not taken away.
We asked other survivors, and they said that the First Base was attacked by unknown gangsters, but it seems that there was only one person on the other side? "
Wen Jinfeng pointed out the key point in his words: "When the First Base was preparing to come to City G, it hired mercenaries from all over the country at a high price to divert the attention of all forces. In fact, the real research group had arrived at the camp ten days ago."
"They put in so much effort just to prevent the world from discovering their true intentions. Under such circumstances, the guards must be strict, and they are able to break through the defenses and deal a heavy blow to the First Base. Ordinary mercenaries do not have such ability. I am more inclined to believe that the attacker is a psychic who has just evolved."
Wen Jinfeng crossed his arms, and a rare word of praise came out of his often harsh and unkind mouth: "You say he is a human being? He is a warrior."
Wen Xin glanced at his brother in surprise.
Unexpectedly, this glance instantly caught Wen Jinfeng's attention.
Wen Jinfeng looked at Wen Xin, but not completely at him. The tiny movement of taking a breath and holding back seemed to have used up all his life's restraint: "...Mr. Hei, may I ask if you have attention deficit syndrome or have you been away from home for a long time and lack the care of your parents? Do you have to hold on to your brother's hand like a child who can't bear to part with his pacifier?"
Xiao Hei did not participate in or speak about what Wen Xin and the others were discussing.
He sat on the sofa in a casual posture, holding his warm hands and playing with them, bending and straightening them, rubbing the thin rope on his fingertips from time to time, and even counting the palm lines three times before he would move his eyes away.
His expression was so serious that it didn't seem like he was playing with someone's fingers, but rather he was holding Efite III's crown and admiring it carefully.
Hearing the sound, Xiao Hei slowly opened his eyelids.
In order not to attract other people's attention, his golden pupils turned into normal black, but his appearance could be changed. The extraordinary temperament of an S-level super-dangerous mutant could not be concealed. Ordinary people would feel their legs go weak and their whole body go cold the moment they looked into his eyes.
Wen Jinfeng was born with arrogance, but now he had to admit that the man in front of him made him extremely wary and even afraid.
Wen Xin also felt that it was not appropriate to let Xiao Hei play with his hand while discussing business, so he pulled his hand back upon hearing this.
Xiao Hei felt empty for a moment and turned to look at him, his eyes revealing a confusion as if he didn't know what he had done wrong, which made Wen Xingu feel guilty of bullying others.
This movement caused Xiao Hei to hook his fingers again. The man stared at him and said, "I promise not to make any noise and not to disturb your conversation."
He lowered his eyelashes and said, "You know my situation. My mind is still in a mess. I need to do something to divert my attention. Only staying by your side can calm me down."
How could Wen Xin not be moved after hearing Xiao Hei's pleading?
He shook his head at Wen Jinfeng: "It's okay, go on, Xiao Hei won't disturb us."
Wen Jinfeng almost laughed out loud at his brother's words: "A man holds another man's hand and touches him non-stop, and you think this is normal? Or has your twenty-plus years of experience not taught you that serious cases of indecent assault will result in a prison sentence of more than five years?"
Wen Xin was helpless. He couldn't tell Wen Jinfeng that Xiao Hei was not a human, but his cat.
In the mutants' minds, expressing closeness through physical touch is a very normal phenomenon, and several dumplings always like to stick to him, touching their heads and arms.
However, Wen Jinfeng was able to tolerate Xiao Hei staying by his bedside during his coma. Wen Xin guessed that his brother knew something about Xiao Hei's identity.
Otherwise, with Wen Jin's fierce and violent personality, he would not have ridiculed him here and kicked him out on the spot.
"Let's get back to business." Wen Xin tried to ignore the itchiness in his palms and said seriously, "Brother, why do you think the First Base withdrew so quickly?"
Wen Jinfeng glared at him in frustration, and finally turned his head away, pinching his swollen brows, pretending that he didn't see it and didn't feel bothered: "There could be many reasons. First of all, An Qi is the main person in charge of the research team. It can be said that the operation of the First Base this time is fully commanded by him."
"They would withdraw suddenly. The first possibility is that something happened at the First Base Headquarters and Anqi needs to go back to take charge of the situation. The second possibility is that Anqi has a new plan and is deliberately setting up a trap. There is another possibility..."
Wen Xin naturally added: "The attacker went deep into the enemy camp that day in order to attack An Qi, and he succeeded."
Wen Jinfeng pondered: "This situation is not impossible."
Wen Xin interrupted him decisively: "It's not impossible, it's very likely."
"We all saw it. The mutant appeared after the First Base sent out fighters. There were so many survivors around, but it only chased and killed the people from the First Base."
"Later, the mutants went berserk. I can't say that it was 100% the First Base's fault, but the fact that the mutants went out of control was at the First Base's camp. These two factors are definitely related."
Wen Xin had his own concerns and could not directly point out the truth to Wen Jinfeng. He could only try to point out some extremely horrifying details of the accident.
Finally, he said, "The First Base has been planned for so long, it is impossible for them to suddenly evacuate when they are about to achieve results. Considering that many valuable instruments were left behind, I am at least 70% sure that Anqi is in trouble and has been seriously injured."
The look in Wen Jinfeng's eyes when he looked at Wen Xin seemed to have undergone a subtle change at this moment.
Wen Xin looked calm and faced his scrutiny, but the confrontation was undoubtedly a bit long.
Just when Wen Xin was about to think that he had revealed his true colors, Wen Jinfeng finally spoke, but he did not question or respond to Wen Xin's words. Instead, he coldly and ruthlessly brought up the past.
"My dear brother, please allow me to interview you. How does it feel to knock your brother out?"
Wen Jinfeng didn't mention it when they were talking about business just now. Wen Xin thought it was a thing of the past. He almost choked when he heard it. He looked away slightly: "Actually, there is a reason..."
Wen Jinfeng: "I have plenty of time, I'm all ears."
Under the gaze of the people, Wen Xin tried to think of a reason for a long time, and finally said desperately, "There is a reason, but I can't tell you."
In an instant, Wen Jinfeng's mouth curled up, with an expression that said "How are you going to die?"
Wen Xin's eyebrows jumped, realizing that if he didn't stop Wen Jinfeng at this time, this place would definitely become a disaster scene. In a flash, his brain turned rapidly: "Brother, do you still remember what father used to do?"
This topic came out of nowhere, but it also successfully interrupted Wen Jinfeng's energy accumulation. The latter's smile faded a little: "Why are you asking this?"
The mood changed in an extremely fast moment, but was still captured by Wen Xinmin sharply.
Wen Xin had originally dreamed of his father, so he mentioned it casually.
He had never expected that this would involve something that Wen Jinfeng was very concerned about. He frowned and had a bad idea in his mind: "Didn't my father die of natural causes?"
Wen Jinfeng sighed deeply: "You don't even remember this? After my mother passed away, my father has been depressed. He doesn't want to live anymore. Everyone can see it, and no one can stop him... In this state, how can his body not be in trouble?"
lie.
Seeing Wen Jinfeng looking sad, Wen Xin didn't know why this thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
At this moment, his men came and knocked on the door, and it seemed that there was something that Wen Jinfeng needed to deal with.
Wen Jinfeng seemed to have forgotten to ask Wen Xin why he was knocked unconscious. He just said to him to have a good rest and left decisively.
Wen Xin actually wanted to confirm whether Anqi was still alive.
It was impossible for the First Base to keep such a big thing secret, but they blocked the news so quickly that even Wen Jinfeng was unable to find out the exact situation.
Not having heard the news of Dr. Anqi's death once again cast a cloud over Wen Xin's heart, and then Wen Jinfeng's extremely subtle attitude also made him sense that something was surging.
Wen Xin's brows were furrowed, his face gloomy. Suddenly, Xiao Hei scratched his palm with his fingernails.
Wen Xin didn't feel anything at all because his fingers had been played with for such a long time. This scratch was like a bolt of lightning that struck his brain so hard that he pulled his hand back with shaking arms.
"Just smile." The instigator was totally unaware of how abrupt and excessive his behavior was. He stretched out his fingers to smooth his brows, "Don't frown."
Xiao Hei's fingertips were always hot. Although they were both cold-blooded creatures, their body temperatures were opposite to those of the scale viper.
If it were the colder autumn and winter, this heat would undoubtedly be very comfortable, but now that it is summer, it is like adding heat to heat.
Wen Xin was a little burned, so she blocked his hand and curled her eyes: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I won't frown."
Given Wen Xin's lack of experience in relationships, even though Wen Jinfeng emphasized it several times, he did not think about it from another perspective and only regarded Xiao Hei's overly intimate actions as a cat acting coquettishly.
Xiao Hei paused slightly, then pretended to withdraw his hand naturally.
At this time, the two little balls curled up in the quilt came to the end of the bed with a grunt, opened the quilt, and revealed their furry heads: "You guys are finally done talking, we were so suffocated."
Wen Xin couldn't help laughing, and took them over one by one: "Who told you to suffocate yourselves under the quilt?"
The scale viper subconsciously entwined itself around the young man's wrist, rubbing it lovingly, and then suddenly it shuddered as if a cold wind had swept through its body.
It raised its eyes and met Xiao Hei's deep gaze. Deep in those eyes were suppressed emotions that were shocking and frightening, making it shudder.
Before the little green snake could react, Xiao Hei picked it up whole.
The scale viper spat out its tongue in extreme confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Wen Xin just woke up, don't bother him."
Scale Viper: “???”
What did it do? Didn't it just rub the warm palm?
Xiao Hei also started to stroke the snake, but his movements were far from gentle and soft. He was straight forward, as if he was peeling the snake's skin.
The scale viper was in great pain, but couldn't get away from it. Suddenly, he saw the little squirrel on Wen Xin's shoulder and immediately complained unwillingly: "You said I was making trouble, why didn't you take care of Ah Zi?"
The little squirrel and Heituan didn't spend much time together, and they didn't know each other's personalities very well, so they couldn't help but get nervous when they heard that.
Since it was promoted to S-level, it has not felt the level pressure for a long time, but this ease was shattered when it met Xiao Hei again.
Fortunately, Xiao Hei glanced at the little squirrel and saw that the purple ball was lying quietly on Wen Xin's shoulder. Without any unnecessary movements, he stroked the little green snake's chin with his thumb and said, "It's much more obedient, unlike you."
The scale viper couldn't believe what he heard, and his pupils trembled: "I'm not good?"
It claims to be the most reliable kid in the family, so of course it can't stand Xiao Hei slandering it like this, so it twists the other's fingers tightly. Unfortunately, this force is no different from tickling to the Tyrannosaurus.
The scale viper couldn't beat him, and he didn't dare to scold him, so he immediately sought help from outsiders: "Wen Xin, please judge for me, he said I was not well behaved!"
Wen Xin loved to see the little girls getting mad, so he relaxed his brows and said in a serious tone, "How could that be? You are the best."
The scale viper looked at Blackie with a proud look, "Did you hear that?"
In the end, Xiao Hei let go, allowing the scale viper to find an opportunity to quickly escape.
The little green snake jumped into Wen Xin's hand as if escaping, and then curled up in a ball, refusing to let the ungrateful dinosaur touch its scales again.
Wen Xin couldn't help laughing again and touched the little snake's scales to comfort it.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a sound of artillery fire, and Wen Xin's face suddenly changed. Hearing the noisy sound outside, he remembered Wen Jinfeng who had just left, and quickly picked up the dumplings and walked out the door.
It was a mess outside. Almost everyone living in the temporary community ran out. Wen Xin grabbed a person and asked, "What happened?"
The man looked panicked and shouted, "The group of superpowers who escaped earlier are back. They want to fight for the ownership of G City and drive us ordinary people away!"
