Chapter 49
The questioning voice was filled with undisguised anger and an irresistible pressure.
When Wen Xin heard this, he felt as if he had been hit hard on the head.
His body swayed, his expression went blank for a moment, and his knees bent straight down.
……No!
In a hurry, Wen Xin climbed on the bedpost with one hand.
The sound of palms clacking against the wooden bedposts.
He clenched his back teeth and managed to avoid actually bending his knees.
The noise was neither too loud nor too quiet, but loud enough for people outside the door to hear.
In an instant, Wen Xin felt the force pressing on his shoulders withdraw.
It has the feeling of fleeing in panic.
He frowned, not knowing why he had such a strange idea.
There seemed to be someone difficult to deal with outside the door, and it was unclear how many people there were.
Wen Xin was on guard while looking around.
The last time he woke up, all his attention was on the little fox and he didn't have time to observe it carefully.
After a careful look, I realized that this was actually a luxury hotel.
The main color is golden, the decoration is exquisite and gorgeous, the walls are engraved with natural and beautiful patterns, and the floor glass is wiped clean.
Wen Xin tilted his head again and looked at the bed he had just slept in.
Whether it's the fluffy quilt or the springy mattress underneath, everything looks brand new as if it was just taken out of the package.
This is definitely not the right attitude to treat prisoners.
Wen Xin originally thought that he had fallen into the hands of Idealism.
Now it seems that someone rescued him.
While thinking about it, Wen Xin turned around and unexpectedly saw his own pistol on the table!
He was stunned for a moment, then his pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly walked over.
After unloading the magazine and counting, there were still four bullets left!
The strange feeling in Wen Xin's heart was immediately confirmed.
It's abnormal. This treatment is abnormal in every way.
Most people may not be able to recognize a real gun, but they can definitely recognize the shape of the gun. After all, toy guns for children of a few years old are everywhere on the streets.
If it were Wen Xin himself, he would ask himself, would he be willing to leave the gun to the person he is rescuing?
He certainly won't.
Even if he was saving someone, he would secretly hide such a dangerous weapon as a gun, and if someone asked about it, he would lie and say that something might have been dropped.
Wen Xin will not return the items to the person until he is sure that the person is not aggressive or can guarantee that he will not be harmed.
Wen Xin wondered why those people would let down their guard against him.
He quickly thought of a connection that might bring about the current change.
Xiaoqi.
If it was Xiao Qi who helped him negotiate the situation, then this kind of treatment would make sense.
But because he thought of the little fox, the details that he had never ignored before once again emerged in Wen Xin's mind.
——The fox statue that looks like Xiaoqi is a statue of Idealism.
——Before he died, the pockmarked man shouted "God" in despair, and then he saw the phantom of the pink ball, and really saw Xiao Qi.
Wen Xin couldn't convince himself that this was a coincidence.
He didn't know what expression to show.
The deaths of the troops were still fresh in his mind. Selfishly, Wen Xin didn't want the little fox to have anything to do with Idealism.
Although he was at least 60% sure that the relationship between the two was serious.
Wen Xin let out a long breath and put away the gun.
Inevitably, the pinch marks on the hands were seen.
It had been carefully coated with a layer of milky white ointment, which had not yet dried up.
The deep red and purple marks were covered by the ointment and no longer looked as obvious as before.
But the pinching marks are blurred, but Wen Xin can't forget the feeling of leaving these marks.
Just as the instructor feared, he hesitated and did not shoot immediately.
The instructor once told him that in today's world where order is gradually collapsing, the enemies that humans really need to be wary of are not ferocious zombies or ridiculously powerful mutants.
It's human beings themselves.
Sooner or later, he will abandon the pathetic and cowardly part of human nature and shoot his own kind.
If you are still soft-hearted at that time, it will become a torture and a burden.
What the instructor said in the past has become a warning today.
There was just one thing that the instructor didn't think of.
——Wen Xin had no regrets about killing the pockmarked man.
The moment he saw the man fall, he felt a little dazed and unreal, but he had no regrets.
Not at all.
Wen Xin touched the pinch mark and thought, maybe he can't be considered a good person...
It had been quiet outside for a long time.
Apart from the angry curse I just heard, no other sound was heard.
Wen Xin didn't say anything either, and subconsciously controlled his breathing frequency, so the whole room was so quiet that it seemed as if even a pin drop could be heard clearly.
Wen Xin had a hunch.
He was waiting for the reaction of the person outside the house, and the person outside the house was probably also waiting for his action.
Wen Xin is not the type of person who likes to drag things out and doesn't intend to remain in this stalemate.
He secretly tightened his grip on the gun, put his finger on the trigger, and walked slowly towards the door.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Squeak——
Before Wen Xin could get close to the door of the room, it was suddenly opened from the outside!
Wen Xin's expression froze and he raised the muzzle of his gun quickly.
But I saw a small pink ball flying in the air. It was thrown in from outside!
"Xiao Qi!"
Wen Xin's face changed drastically and he quickly reached out to take it.
Tuanzi fell into his arms, whimpered, and helplessly burrowed into the young man's arms.
“Boohoo!!”
His voice was full of complaints about the injustice he had suffered.
Meeting the big tearful eyes of Fantuanzi, Wen Xin felt distressed for a moment, and his brows tightened.
While holding Tuanzi in his arms, he looked out the door with cold vigilance.
Standing at the door was a stranger in a crimson robe.
The man was an elderly man with a wrinkled face and thinning gray hair.
Behind Bishop Shi, a dozen men in black robes who were kneeling on the ground were slowly standing up.
Wen Xin recognized the style of their robes; the totem patterns on them were exactly the same as the one on the pockmarked man.
The only difference is the emblem on the chest.
The emblem was a blooming flower. The plain black robe had three petals, the black robe with more patterns had four petals, and the red robe had five petals. Its shape was a bit like the succulent plants that Wen Xin had once raised.
But the instructor mentioned that any religious symbol has a special meaning and should not be such an ordinary one.
What kind of flower it was? Only a vague sense of déjà vu flashed through Wen Xin's mind.
He didn't think deeply and didn't care.
"Are you a member of Idealism? What is your purpose in arresting me? Tell me directly."
Bishop Shi kindly advised: "Don't be so nervous, young man. If we really had any bad intentions, we wouldn't leave that guy in your hands."
Wen Xin looked at the gun in his hand and said nothing.
His expression still didn't relax at all.
Bishop Shi knew why he was so hostile and sighed helplessly.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the cardinal of Idealism. My last name is Shi."
"I'm sorry for the people who died."
When this matter was mentioned, Wen Xin's face suddenly tensed up, and the arms holding the little fox involuntarily increased their strength.
The little fox curled up in his arms, feeling Wen Xin's pent-up anger, and his body became increasingly stiff.
Unexpectedly, Wen Xin did not get hysterical.
"That's too much. We just have different positions and interests."
Hearing this, Bishop Shi breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.
Immediately afterwards, Wen Xin pointed the gun in his hand at his forehead, and his eyes were three points colder than before!
"So, immediately prepare food and water for me, and support transportation to leave here."
Looking at the dark muzzle of the gun, Bishop Shi's muscles tensed instantly.
"...Please believe us, we really have no ill intentions."
Wen Xin's expression remained unchanged: "Tell someone to prepare first. When the things are here, you can say whatever you want. I will listen carefully."
I didn't expect that the young man was so young but had such a stubborn personality.
Seeing that the other party's finger was already on the trigger, cold sweat broke out on Bishop Shi's forehead: "Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare now."
He looked at the black-robed men around him and angrily shouted, "What are you all doing standing here like idiots? Didn't you hear what he asked? Why don't you go now!"
The men went about their business in a hurry.
Wen Xin saw Bishop Shi's fear.
He is weird.
Facial expressions can be faked, but the physiological reaction of sweating is difficult to fake.
In that case, why didn't the other party take away his gun?
Just because there was no ill intention?
Wen Xin couldn't help but lower his head and looked at the little fox suspiciously.
Bishop Shi saw his doubts and his expression changed slightly. He changed his panic and said in a cold voice: "It's okay for you to leave, but you can't take the one in your arms with you..."
He choked, his face twisted as if the world was falling apart.
"This stupid fox."
Bishop Shi quickly adjusted his tone and said fiercely, "You can take away the Pope's favorite without permission?"
The Pope's Favorite...
Wen Xin's expression moved slightly.
This identity seems to explain both why the little fox appears in Idealism and why the fox statue resembles the little fox.
After all, the Pope believes in God, so what's wrong with him keeping a little fox that looks similar to God as a pet?
But Wen Xin did not dispel his doubts with just these few words, nor did he express his true thoughts.
He followed up on Bishop Shi's words and retorted.
"So you are the so-called Pope?"
Bishop Shi was slightly stunned, as if he had heard something extremely blasphemous. He was so angry that his face began to tremble: "How dare you!"
"If you are not, how dare you call His Holiness the Pope's favorite a 'stupid fox'?"
Wen Xin: "Since you are not, how dare you throw His Holiness the Pope's favorite into the house casually?"
Hearing these aggressive words, the little fox and Bishop Shi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Great, just as planned.
石主教冷笑依舊：“身為教皇殿下的愛寵，卻恃寵而驕，非要在緊要關頭跑過去救你，差一點就壞了教皇殿下的大事，它不是蠢是什麽！”
溫辛：“……”
小狐貍将青年的軟化看在眼裏，眼神示意石主教：快一點，再接再厲！
怎麽再接再厲？
那當然是把事情往嚴重了說。
“年輕人，你覺得丢它就很過分了？我告訴你，等回到了唯心教，教皇殿下一定會将它發落，呵，到時候它還能不能活着都是個問題。”
小狐貍配合地在溫辛的懷裏瑟瑟發抖。
溫辛連忙将它抱緊，捋順毛發不斷安慰，冷聲說道：“既然這樣，那我就更要帶走它了。”
兩邊的氣氛一下子變得劍拔弩張起來。
“走？”石主教笑道，“你怎麽走？”
“你只有一個人，還要帶上一只累贅，外面到處都是唯心教的成員。”
“就算你能跑得出這家酒店，也跑不了多遠，早晚會被我們給抓回來！”
“這好辦。”
溫辛完全沒有被威脅到，同樣笑了一聲：“只要你跟我們一起走，唯心教的人就算追上來了，也不敢擅自下手。”
“你放心，石主教，A市熱情好客，一定不會虧待你的。”
石主教：“……”
他沒想到自己會被一個二十多歲的小子，反将了一軍。
溫辛說到做到。
說話間，他已經來到了石主教的面前，槍抵着他的心口，一個字斬釘截鐵：“走。”
石主教怎麽可能跟着溫辛到A市去做什麽階下囚？
他喉頭一滾，連忙在心裏呼喚小狐貍的尊諱。
可是不管他怎麽千呼萬喚，小狐貍都沒有回應他。
低頭一看，好家夥。
溫辛居然一邊威脅他，一邊還在撓小狐貍的下巴！
也不知道他用了怎麽樣的手法，就看見幾根沒入絨毛中的手指微動，小狐貍立馬就發出了舒服的嘤叫聲。
耳朵往後一貼，眼睛微微眯起，整只狐完全癱軟在了青年的懷中。
石主教：遇到特大緊急情況，請求支援，請求支援！
小狐貍：你所呼叫的狐貍正在被順毛，請稍後再撥。
石主教：……
糟心的喲！
石主教只能順着溫辛的意思，僵硬地往房間外走。
“年輕人，我知道你很懷疑我們的意圖，但我還是得解釋一下，之前對你們下手的唯心教成員是自作主張，總教毫不知情。”
溫辛擡了下眼皮。
石主教發現還有回旋的餘地，連忙将姿态放低，語氣誠懇地說道。
“你也知道現在的情況，沒人經營的信號塔幾乎全都廢了，網絡癱瘓，手機沒有信號，要想找外地的人聯系下情況，得托人開車帶口信，慢的時候耗上好幾天，最快都要十幾個小時。”
“等我們從來往的賞金獵人嘴裏聽到消息的時候，一切已經晚了，唉！”
石主教心裏苦笑不已。
這事要真追究起來，唯心教簡直是無妄之災，畢竟張泉勇是他們先找到的。
A市基地打着救援的名號，實則行着強盜搶人的行為，怎麽看，都是唯心教占理。
但麻子臉萬萬不該自作主張，和A市內部的人員勾結在一起。
這樣一來，性質一下子就變了。
變成是他們在早就圖謀不軌，在A市安插內/應！
沒人想要平白無故給自己樹敵，特別是石主教之前聽說過溫勁風的名號，那就是一個明晃晃的瘋子。
這還不是最要命的地方。
最要命的是……
一連呼叫了小狐貍好幾聲都得不到回應，石主教苦笑不已。
溫辛将石主教的話聽在耳裏。
說實話，他已經信了七、八分。
不是因為石主教的态度表現得如何懇切，而是他冷不丁想起來，麻子臉在臨死之前曾經說過一句話。
——現在看來，根本不需要向主教求助，我一個人就能解決掉你們所有人！
麻子臉是嚣張意滿地說出這句話，說謊的可能性幾乎為零。
由此可見，東南地區的唯心教對A市基地下手的這件事，他們總教這邊确實不清楚狀況。
這讓溫辛對唯心教的敵意稍微減輕了一點。
他沒有停下腳步，邊觀察着這裏的情況。
“既然你說一切都是誤會，那張泉勇現在在什麽地方？”
溫辛話裏有技巧。
他沒問石主教認不認識張泉勇，也沒問張泉勇這個人到底存不存在。
而是直接問對方在哪兒。
只要石主教答得上來，就說明有張泉勇這個人，并且對方一定認識。
果不其然，聽到這話的石主教臉色微變。
“你想知道他在哪兒？別想了，他身上攜帶着喪屍病毒的抗體，我們是不可能将他交給你的。”
剎那間，溫辛瞳孔凝縮，連腳步也不知不覺地停了下來。
竟然是喪屍病毒的抗體。
他知道這次任務很重要，沒想到重要到了這種程度！
既然攜帶着病毒抗體，那就意味着有可能研究出對抗病毒的疫苗。
他不能走。
他必須要見到張泉勇，那是拯救全人類的希望。
“嘤。”
縮在溫辛懷裏的小狐貍似乎不甘心自己被冷落，扒拉了兩下青年的衣袖。
溫辛下意識拍了拍它的身體輕哄。
石主教見小狐貍胳膊肘朝外拐，心裏那叫一個老淚縱橫。
他忍氣吞聲地說。
“我勸你不要動那些歪腦筋，老老實實地留下來，就算你挾持了我，能讓唯心教束手無策，但外面還有成群的喪屍。”
“好。”溫辛說，“我留下。”
石主教半截話還沒說完：“就憑你一個人絕對不可能突圍……嗯？？”
他驚訝道：“你留下？”
為什麽這麽快就改口了，他好像也沒說什麽吧？
溫辛面不改色：“對，我留下，但是小七必須走。”
聽到這話，小狐貍傻眼了，急吼吼地叫。
“嘤嘤嘤？”
為什麽要我走，你不要我了嗎溫辛？
“乖，不是不要你。”溫辛拍它的腦袋，“你忘了嗎，為了救我，你耽誤了主人的事情，回去後會被發落的。”
小狐貍：“……”
完了，是它自己挖下的坑。
溫辛跟着目露痛惜，呢喃道：“為什麽你會成為別人的寵物，沒有直接回來找我，這段時間你到底經歷了什麽，小七……”
他越說，小狐貍越心虛，死命扒拉着青年的衣服。
“嘤！”
我不走，我要和你在一起！
溫辛看它鬧性子，固執得不想走，聲音沉下：“小七，聽話。”
小狐貍聽出溫辛話裏的決絕，着急地連上石主教的意識：你快給我想辦法！
石主教急得腦門滲汗。
“其實，其實教皇殿下也不一定會發落它。”
他幹巴巴地說：“畢竟我們的教皇殿下是這世上最仁慈也最寬容的人，怎麽會為了一點小事，就對自己的愛寵發脾氣呢？”
石主教也是急昏了頭，一時沒反應過來自己前言不搭後語。
但溫辛何其敏銳，幾乎一瞬間就發覺了端倪。
怪異的感覺一湧上來，就再也揮之不去。
他抿了下嘴唇，捏着小狐貍的後頸肉，緩慢地說：“……好。”
“既然小七想和我一起，那我們就再也不分開了。”
小狐貍喜出望外。
溫辛将槍放了下去：“我有一個請求。”
“我希望你們能夠派人前往A市，幫我給家人帶一聲平安。”
眼看着終于把溫辛糊弄了過去，石主教只覺得壓在心頭的巨石落了地，滿身輕松。
他沒有拒絕這合情合理的小小請求。
就算溫辛想借這個機會給A市基地傳達點什麽消息，按照路程時間來算，口信傳過去至少也需要好幾天。
幾天時間，足夠他們抵達B市的總教大本營。
唯心教如今已經建立起了防禦基地，基地內共有幾萬名教衆，完全不虛。
除非溫勁風親自領兵出征，帶着大批軍隊前來，那才叫真的瘋了。
石主教覺得應該不至于。
這個時候，溫勁風還在肅整A市基地的風氣，尋找溫辛的懸賞令也沒來得及發出。
石主教不知道溫辛和溫勁風之間的關系，兩人雖然同姓氏，但名沒有類似之處。
一般人也不會想到軍隊裏的一個小兵，居然會是溫勁風的弟弟。
既然說好了留下，跟着唯心教的人一起走，那麽溫辛之前要求的食物和車也就不需要準備了。
他将寫好的信交給了唯心教的成員，叮囑對方一定要快點送到。
教徒不像石主教可以做到面不改色，看見小狐貍的那一瞬間，态度立馬變得恭恭敬敬。
“好的，我們一定趕快送到。”
溫辛将這一幕收納眼底。
他看着懷裏無知無覺的小狐貍，眼神十分複雜。
撫摸自己的手突然停了下來。
小狐貍擡起頭，對上溫辛幽深的目光，怯怯地縮了縮身子，聲音也變得小心翼翼。
“嘤？”
溫辛凝視着小狐貍黝黑透亮的瞳孔。
裏面水汽氤氲，顫動個不停，像是分分鐘能哭了出來。
他垂了垂眼睫毛，又擡高，倏然展眉一笑。
“害，這麽久沒見，我們家的小七怎麽變成愛哭鬼了？”
The young man lifted its little butt, lifted it up like a child, and touched his forehead with its: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
When the little fox heard his doting tone, his eyes suddenly became wet. He stretched his neck happily and bumped heads with him.
Outside the house.
Seeing Bishop Shi coming out, the church members hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
Bishop Shi had a stern face and ignored everyone. He walked all the way to the first floor of the hotel and arrived at the lobby.
He fell to his knees with a thud!
The black-robed monk and other believers were horrified and rushed to support him.
"Bishop, what happened? What happened to you? Who attacked you?!"
"Someone come quickly, someone come quickly!"
But Bishop Shi waved his hands tremblingly and said with his dying breath: "No, don't panic, my legs are weak, that's all."
Everyone's faces were blank, confused and bewildered: "Ah?"
Bishop Shi is barely catching his breath now.
How dare he say it? Their extremely noble Pope was afraid that Wen Xin would have a grudge against him because of those dead people, so he didn't dare to reveal his identity and forced him to act.
Bishop Shi was so distressed that he actually called the Pope a stupid fox!
"This is really going to kill me..."
.
They set off immediately.
Wen Xin slept well that night, and after waking up and eating something, he was basically fully recovered.
But through this incident, he found that his previous behavior of just focusing on training was actually a bit blind and inattentive.
Apart from the rumors I heard from my instructors, I knew nothing about the situation in the outside world.
I don’t know who is targeting the base in City A, nor do I know that the Idealism Cult has a kind of incense that can confuse people’s minds.
Wen Xin didn't want to waste time, he wanted to find someone to understand the situation and also wanted to find out the whereabouts of Zhang Quanyong.
But in order to avoid revealing his true intentions, Bishop Shi had already given instructions in advance that no one should get close to him.
After much difficulty, he finally caught up with a man in black robe, but when he saw the little fox in his arms, his face turned pale.
"So, what do you want to ask?"
Wen Xin: “…”
He said in a complicated tone, "Nothing, can I go and see Bishop Shi?"
The man in black robe said quickly: "Yes, yes, of course!"
At this time, Bishop Shi was sitting under a temporary awning, leisurely making tea and drinking it.
Until I saw Wen Xin and the fox in the other's arms.
His hands trembled and the tea almost spilled out of the cup.
