base
[System, where is this? 】
System: [Abandoned Star. 】
Wei Shao: What do you mean? 】
[Otto came to take him over.] The system's mechanical voice paused for a rare moment. [He didn't leave. 】
Wei Shao didn't ask any more questions.
The forest was very large, and one end was surrounded by gunfire and bullets. Wei Shao wanted to take Fei Luo away, so he had to go deeper into the forest and get out from the other end.
Fortunately, Philo had regained some consciousness now. Wei Shao bandaged his wound and wrapped his entire upper body with his coat to prevent the strong smell of blood from causing any danger.
After doing all this, he let Philo lie on his back, but Philo pushed his shoulder in resistance.
"Put me down... It's not safe here."
Wei Shao spoke in a low voice and a heavy tone: "You are bleeding and confused. It is because it is unsafe that we cannot let you go."
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Although Philo's voice was extremely hoarse, his normal voice was still vaguely recognizable, and he no longer had the childishness he had a few years ago.
Wei Shao turned his head and glanced at Fei Luo - although he couldn't see anything clearly, his tone hinted at the coming storm: "I value my life more than you do."
Philo remained silent.
The noise of the search faded away little by little. Wei Shao seized the opportunity and carried Fei Luo on his back. Just as he was about to stand up, he was poked on the shoulder again.
"The gun..." Fei Luo said in a low voice, "Help me pick it up."
Wei Shao's face became even more grim. He fumbled on the ground for a while and touched the cold and hard metal. He picked it up and weighed it - it was a very heavy standard □□.
"Where did it come from?"
Philo: "You'll be angry if I tell you."
Wei Shao: "Do you think I won't be angry if you don't tell me?"
Philo was silent again.
Wei Shao turned the gun around and pointed it backwards, only ten centimeters away from the head on his shoulder. His hand was not on the trigger at all. He said coldly, "Do you believe I can kill you?"
Philo smiled softly: "You can't do this."
He traced Wei Shao's wrist to his fingertips, then pinched his fingertips to pull the trigger. With his other hand, he held the muzzle of the gun, lowered his head slightly, and pressed his forehead against it: "This is how it should be."
Wei Shao gritted his teeth, carefully took the gun away, and then stuffed it back into Fei Luo's hand, gritting his teeth and cursing: "Little beast, take your own things!"
It was the first time that Philo heard such a dirty word from his mouth. He was stunned for a moment, then the smile on the corners of his lips gradually deepened, and he buried his face in his neck.
"elder brother."
Wei Shao did not respond, so he continued:
"You saved me again."
Wei Shao made up his mind to ignore him and silently shuttled through the darkness with him on his back. The giant shadow swayed slightly in the night wind, and occasionally an unknown object lurking in the dark would make a low "gurgling" sound.
Fortunately, they were lucky enough to get out of the forest when the sky turned pale.
Philo had been trying hard to stay awake, but at this moment he finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
Wei Shao was extremely anxious. Suddenly, he heard the sound of an engine. An armored vehicle rushed out from behind a steep slope in the southwest at a lightning speed and approached him.
He had been walking all night carrying Philo on his back and was exhausted. He had no way of evading. He could only pray in his heart that the bugs in this car were not the same group as last night.
Several strong young bugs quickly jumped off the car. One of them, a 17 or 18-year-old blue caterpillar, pointed a gun at Wei Shao's head and shouted, "Let him go!"
Another younger caterpillar turned his head and whispered, "This guy is carrying the captain on his back alone, so he probably doesn't want to harm the captain."
Blue Caterpillar frowned and pondered for a while, then felt that it made some sense, so he raised his voice and asked Wei Shao coldly: "Who are you?"
Wei Shao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing their address to Philo. Then he began to feel the pain and fatigue in his limbs. His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, barely able to protect Philo with his arms.
Several young men rushed forward and lifted them both up.
Wei Shao grabbed Lanmao and said, "He is seriously injured. Treat him quickly!"
Lanmao was frightened by the red bloodshot in his eyes, and no longer doubted his hostility, so he simply dragged him into the car.
The terrain in the wild was uneven, the armored vehicle was shaking violently, and the blood had coagulated overnight, so the cloth strips were stuck to the flesh and blood, and the scene was horrific when they were torn apart. The unconscious Philo was awakened by the pain, and he groaned, his nails digging into the flesh, and traces of blood oozed out from between his fingers.
Wei Shao pried his hands apart and let him hold his palms.
Lanmao was surprised when he saw this, and looked at Wei Shao, whose face was paler than Philo's, with a puzzled tone: "Are you the team leader's friend? I haven't seen you before."
Wei Shao's eyes were glued to Fei Luo's face the whole time, and he didn't move away even after hearing what he said. He just said vaguely, "We've been apart for a few years."
There were three bugs in the car. The one who was treating Philo's wound was a red-haired bug. He was the oldest and had not gotten out of the car yet.
The yellow-haired boy who got off the car with Lanmao was driving. Hearing this, he rolled his eyes and interrupted Wei Shao to ask, "Is your leg okay? Let Luke take a look at it for you later."
Wei Shao glanced at the red-haired man and guessed that he was probably the "Luke" mentioned by the yellow-haired boy.
"No need, just a few scratches." Wei Shao politely declined.
The blond boy introduced himself to him while driving: "My name is Benny, I'm fifteen years old. The blue-haired stinky-faced bug is Horace, seventeen. Oh, the red-haired old guy is the Luke I just mentioned, he-"
Luke was cutting Philo's bandages. He couldn't stand it anymore and raised his head to interrupt him: "Benny, can you shut up? And I'm only 22 years old. If you call me old man again, I will pull out your rotten tooth with pliers."
Benny closed his lips in dismay.
Blue-haired Hollus was a little unhappy: "It's only been a short time and you've already revealed everything to him. Do you trust him so much?"
Benny finally found an opportunity to speak again: "Well, then why don't you try to hold the captain's hand."
So Hollus shut up too.
They all knew how wary Philo was when he was half asleep - Horace once pulled Philo's hand when Philo was dozing. He just wanted to borrow Philo's things, but he almost had his hand twisted off.
From this, it can be seen that this person must be a bug that the team leader trusts very much.
Wei Shao was actually very tired, but he still cheered up and listened to their conversation. He also knew that they had put him in the same camp because of his relationship with Philo.
He nodded in response, "My name is Weiss, I'm Philo's brother, nice to meet you."
Horace still had doubts and wanted to ask Wei Shao why he had not appeared in the past few years if he was Philo's brother.
However, before he could say anything, Fei Luo's grip on Wei Shao's hand suddenly tightened, and his lips moved silently.
Wei Shao immediately leaned forward and put his ear close to Fei Luo's lips: "What?"
Philo's voice was hoarse and almost inaudible.
But Wei Shao heard it clearly.
Philo is calling his brother.
Wei Shao pursed his lips slightly, brushed his fingertips across the sweaty hair on Fei Luo's forehead, and whispered, "...Brother is here."
The doubts in Horace's heart were finally completely dispelled. Instead, Luke, who had been concentrating on bandaging the wound, suddenly looked up and glanced at Wei Shao.
Luke took out the last bullet, applied medicine and bandaged it: "Okay, Weiss, I'll get two bottles of nutrient solution, see if you can feed it to him."
"Wait!" Wei Shao stopped him and motioned Luke to look at Philo's tightly clenched hands. "It's still injured."
Luke gave him a weird look: "Palm?"
Wei Shao didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and nodded, "The palm of your hand."
Luke had no choice but to instruct him to pry open Philo's knuckles and apply medicine to the small cut on the palm of his hand.
Benny looked at them through the rearview mirror from time to time and laughed when he saw them: "Fortunately, it was applied quickly, otherwise the wound would have healed."
Wei Shao: “…”
Wei Shao opened his eyes and pretended to be deaf. He opened a tube of nutrient solution, stuffed it into Fei Luo's mouth, and coaxed him to drink it.
In the afternoon, the armored vehicle finally arrived at its destination.
The gate to the destination was heavily guarded, and the huge words "Noah's Second Base" made Wei Shao dizzy.
He watched Benny take out his pass without saying a word, and heard the guard's cold voice: "Base team 401 has returned, mission status: incomplete. No bounty can be obtained."
The armored vehicle moved slowly along the road. Wei Shao asked the system: [What happened after I left? 】
The system was silent for a while, and then said: [He refused to leave the abandoned planet with Otto. Otto had to leave first because of military duties. Later, he got to know these bugs one by one, and formed a mercenary team with them, stationed at Noah's second base. 】
If the first base is the headquarters for formal internal members, the second base is the gathering place for various hired teams.
Essentially, they do not belong to the Noah Base, but rely on taking on missions sent by the Noah Base to earn bounties, thereby achieving survival and continuation.
There is no doubt that their treatment is incomparable to that of official Noah members.
Wei Shao didn't know whether to be glad, sad, or angry.
He asked the system: [Is it because of me? 】
The system had thought of this possibility, but everything was normal before Wei Shao left.
It said: [I don’t know. 】
Wei Shao believed that it really couldn't figure it out, otherwise he would have been strongly condemned the first time he returned.
The dormitory of Team 401 is in the corner of the Second Base. Because of their high mission completion rate, each of them has their own single room and shares public facilities.
Since Wei Shao didn't have his own number, he naturally didn't have a room. Hollus looked at his knuckles tangled with Philo's and made the decision without much hesitation: "You sleep in the same room with the captain first."
Luke tried to stop him for some reason: "I'm living with Philo, and I'll give him my room."
Wei Shao didn't think much about it and refused directly: "Don't bother, Luo Luo and I can live together, it will be convenient to take care of you."
Benny was originally looking for food in the kitchen. Hearing their conversation, he poked his head out with a biscuit in his mouth and said, "Luke, can you stop being such a nanny? What's wrong with two brothers living together? Come over and prepare dinner!"
Luke walked into the kitchen with a dark face and cursed: "Are you a pig? All you do is eat all day long!"
Benny loudly retorted, "I'm growing, okay?"
"Philo is also growing up. Why can't he eat as much as you--" Luke slammed the kitchen door shut, his face turned serious, "It's okay that Horace can't see it, but don't tell me you also believe they are brothers. That Wes's hair color--"
"When did you become more suspicious than Horace?" Benny chewed his biscuits and swallowed them, then licked his fingers. "Even if it's not the case, isn't it an ironclad fact that the captain has a good relationship with him?"
"That's why I'm worried," Luke said worriedly, "You know how many eyes are staring at Philo right now. That Wes has been separated from Philo for a few years, and he suddenly appears again. We don't know why he deliberately behaves intimately with Philo in front of us. What if he has been bribed by some force?"
