Chapter 55 "This is what it means to act like a spoiled child."
Lin Mian played with the two B-grade crystals in his hand, turned around to look at the person in the driver's seat. They were already far away from City N, but the smile on his face still lingered.
He seems to be in a really good mood.
Thinking back to Wang Hao's miserable state before, he still felt a little scalp tingling. It turned out that offending a man would not end well.
"What are you looking at? There's something on my face?" Even without turning his head, Jiang Yan could still catch the gaze coming towards him.
Lin Mian blinked, leaned over and touched his jaw, a spot of bright red stained his fingertips. "There's blood."
Jiang Jie glanced at it and frowned in disgust. It must have been accidentally splashed on it before. "That's dirty stuff, wipe it off quickly."
Lin Mian said "Oh", took out wet tissues from the space, took one to wipe his fingers, took a new one and leaned over to wipe the other person's chin.
The wipes have a fragrance, not strong. If you listen carefully, it seems to be the scent of jasmine, which lingers faintly on the wiped skin.
Lin Mian quite liked this mild and refreshing smell, so he lowered his head and sniffed his fingers again.
Jiang Jie noticed and said, "Do you like the smell of flowers?"
"Not really," Lin Mian rubbed his fingertips, "it's just that this smells very good."
Jiang Jie raised his eyebrows upon hearing this. "Oh, then I can look for similar floral scents next time."
At first, Lin Mian thought he was talking about tissues and was about to nod in agreement, but when he caught a glimpse of his meaningful expression, he suddenly understood something and immediately swallowed the word "OK".
Without hearing his answer, Jiang Jie knew that he understood, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Worried that he might say something to tease him again, Lin Mian was silent for two seconds before changing the subject, "Brother Ji, what's the matter with your special ability?"
He was really curious about this question. Since the other party had not continued to hide it from him before, he should not mind him asking.
Jiang Jie turned the steering wheel and said, "Curious?"
Lin Mian responded. It was hard not to be curious. After all, how could one person have two superpowers?
Jiang Yan freed one hand and stretched it in front of him. Dancing flames appeared on his fingertips. He flicked his finger and it turned into a small water ball. "Isn't it magical?"
Lin Mian nodded vigorously, reached out and held his palm, turning it over and over but not seeing any difference, he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Ji, God must have cheated on you."
This was not the first time he felt this way. He had always had this thought before. The opponent was too strong and it was too unfair.
Jiang Jie let him pull his hand and smiled when he heard it, "It's possible."
Otherwise, he would not have had a chance to start over after his death.
"I don't know what's going on," he clenched his palms, "When my superpowers awakened, I discovered I had dual elements. I didn't want to cause any more trouble, so I only revealed my water element."
This is actually the truth, and the little rabbit is not completely fooled.
Lin Mian could fully understand his concerns, just like he himself did not dare to reveal his spatial ability now. One must always be on guard against others.
He held the man's broad hand, turned around and said, "Then this may be the preference God has given you."
God’s favor? If it were in the past, Jiang Jie would have scoffed at these few words.
He had an unfortunate childhood and had no close friends. He had always been struggling and earned a better life with his own hands, but in the end it was taken away by the end of the world. The ending of his previous life was not good either.
But he was inexplicably resurrected, and his supernatural powers grew to the point where almost no one could match him.
And... He retracted his fingers, felt the soft palm holding his, turned his face, and met a pair of eyes full of sincerity.
Jiang Yan smiled and tightened his grip on the man's hand, "Maybe, it really is starting to favor me."
*
Nearly four months have passed since the beginning of the apocalypse. Alienated creatures are everywhere and have even begun to evolve.
The psychics who thought they could survive the chaos by awakening their superpowers could not help but begin to doubt themselves again, wondering whether this world really wanted to kill humanity.
Just when people began to despair again, the authorities released a message.
There is a kind of crystal in the brains of those alienated creatures. The mutants can absorb the energy in it, thereby enhancing their mutant powers.
This research has been conducted internally for a period of time and has no side effects.
For those with special abilities who can still receive information, this is undoubtedly great news.
But at the same time, some people began to speculate whether similar crystals might exist in the brains of people with special abilities.
In response to these inquiries, the official answer was that there were some, which they called superpower cores, but crystals of the same type were not beneficial to superpower growth.
This conclusion was reached after they studied the bodies of mutants who died at the hands of alien creatures.
And they also gave a piece of bad news. The evolved B-level mutants target the superpower cores in the brains of superpower users, so compared to ordinary people, they are more likely to choose to attack superpower users.
Regarding this series of news, some people are optimistic, some are pessimistic, and there are also some people who, after trying crystallization to enhance their superpowers, refuse to believe it.
As they are both energy crystals, are the ones in the brains of psychics really useless in increasing their abilities?
Therefore, in addition to the fights between the mutants, some kind of hunting action also took place among the mutants after the news was announced.
The dark side of human nature is inevitable.
"Bang--"
After a wooden gun sounded, the man with a bullet hole in his brow looked frozen in fear and unwillingness. The water that was pulling him dispersed, allowing him to fall backwards.
Lin Mian put away the wooden warehouse and breathed a sigh of relief.
An arm was placed on his shoulder and he turned his head.
"Not bad, you have made progress in Mucang Fa recently." Jiang Jie rubbed his head in appreciation.
"Brother Jie taught me well." Lin Mian smiled at him and glanced at the three corpses on the ground. They were also the "living targets" that had been delivered to him recently for training.
Since the official news came out, they not only have to deal with mutants, but also have to deal with people with superpowers who are also humans.
These three were also the same. They stopped the car to rest halfway and dealt with two mutants by the way, but they were ambushed.
Maybe he thought Jiang Jie's special energy was almost exhausted, so he wanted to come out and take advantage of the situation.
They had no idea that the man had already known they were hiding in the dark, just waiting for them to jump out.
"They cooperated very skillfully just now. It doesn't look like this is their first time doing something like this. If they have succeeded before, they should have known that the ability core is useless. Why would they still attack the ability user?" Lin Mian couldn't understand why he wasted energy on dealing with the mutant instead of wasting it on this kind of thing.
"The superpower core is useless, but the supplies are useful." Jiang Jie pinched his face.
Maybe it was because he had experienced the joy of "looting" before, and he couldn't suppress the greed in his heart, especially after he succeeded.
Moreover, the more chaotic the time, the easier it is for malice in human nature to breed. Some people may simply enjoy the feeling of plundering, even if there is no benefit.
That's true. Lin Mian put away the wooden warehouse. Their RV was so big that it was too eye-catching and it was hard not to attract other people's covetousness.
However, there are not many supplies in the car now. They are all used to cover up the truth. Most of them are in his space and cannot be taken away by others.
Jiang Yan snapped his fingers, and the flames that burst out burned the three bodies clean, which could be considered as collecting their bodies.
"Go check around and see if they have any cars parked nearby. Maybe we can find something."
In such a barren place, these people couldn't have appeared out of nowhere, they must have a car.
Lin Mian suddenly smiled when he heard this. These people were planning to rob others, but they didn't expect that in the end not only they would lose their lives, but also be "robbed" by others.
Well, it's a tit-for-tat sort of thing.
They finally found the car, which was a three-row car with the back seats removed and filled with supplies.
As Lin Mian collected the things, he thought to himself, no wonder they enjoyed the pleasure of "licking the loot", this feeling was really quite good.
If it could be like this every time, he wouldn't mind if someone came to cause trouble. After all, no one could fight against Jiang Jie. He would do the work and collect the supplies himself.
As the thought crossed his mind, he couldn't help but touch his nose. It turned out that after being with men for a long time, he had learned some bad habits.
He turned around and looked at the other person guiltily.
Unexpectedly, he was caught red-handed and immediately looked away.
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and pressed it on the back of his neck, rubbing the soft flesh with his thumb. "Little rabbit, you're not criticizing me again, are you?"
The other party has been really bold recently, and I no longer have the "respect" I had at the beginning when facing him.
Lin Mian subconsciously wanted to shake his head to deny it, but he was pinned down by the other party, so he could only say, "I, I just felt that I experienced the joy of them 'licking the bag'."
This wouldn't be considered a lie.
"Really?" Jiang Jie pulled him closer to him, lowering his head as he got closer to him. "Don't learn to lie, little thing."
It can only be said that he was not completely honest. Lin Mian turned his eyes to the side and was pinched slightly by the other party. He turned his gaze back in pain, "Brother Ji, it hurts..."
Tsk, Jiang Jie licked his back teeth, "Don't act like a spoiled child."
He didn't! Lin Mian pursed his lips, looked up at the other person, and suddenly leaned over and kissed the mole under his lip, and rubbed it twice, "This is how you act like a spoiled child."
Jiang Jie's eyes darkened after being kissed by him, and he lowered his head, "Really? Then spread another one..."
Just as their lips were about to touch, Lin Mian suddenly lowered his head and struggled to break free from the restraints on the back of his neck. He trotted away, saying, "You've been delayed for so long and haven't had lunch yet. Aren't you hungry, Brother Jie?"
Jiang Jie's kiss missed and he poked the inner wall of his mouth with his tongue in a funny way. He said, this little rabbit has been really bold lately.
He raised his hand and rubbed the mole he had kissed with his thumb, then he followed it. It was okay, what he owed would be repaid sooner or later, and in the end it would be this little rabbit that would cry and beg for mercy.
Lin Mian, who had just returned to the car, couldn't help but shiver, thinking that it was too hot outside and he was not used to suddenly returning to a cool place.
I have no idea what kind of debt I owe.
