Chapter 74: He is a little strange, covering himself tightly
Judging from the noise, there are more than one alien creatures. They have sensed the presence of living people here and have started to come over.
The people in the car passing by seemed to have noticed something and slowly stopped.
Lin Mian turned to look at Jiang Jie. The other party calmly took another bite of food and had no intention of getting up, so he did not move.
At this time, three people got out of the car, two men and one woman. They did not look panicked. They looked in the direction of the approaching alien creature and moved their hands and feet. They seemed to be ready for battle.
Lin Mian's eyes fell on a tall and strong-looking man. He looked a little strange, as he was covered very tightly. He was wearing a long-sleeved hooded sweatshirt with the hood on. Not only that, he was also wearing a mask. The hood was pulled very low, so his face could not be seen at all. The hands hanging by his sides were also wearing leather gloves.
He tilted his head in confusion. Although the temperature dropped a bit after the wind stopped, it wasn't that cold. Didn't he feel stuffy?
Jiang Jie also turned his head and looked over, narrowing his eyes slightly, looking the man up and down.
As if he had noticed their gazes, the other person also turned his head slightly to look over. His eyes were hidden in the shadow of his hat and could not be seen clearly, but they could feel his sharp gaze fixed on them.
Lin Mian realized that staring at others seemed impolite, so he temporarily retracted his gaze, but Jiang Jie, who was sitting next to him, continued to stare at him without hesitation, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
The alien creatures were getting closer during their back-and-forth communication.
Three animal figures appeared in sight, running towards him.
The woman took a step forward, and an electric current flashed across her raised hand. As the alien creature moved closer, she swung her hand away.
The one in the lead was struck by lightning, and it let out a cry of pain and slowed down its steps. The two on its sides quickly passed it and moved forward.
Immediately afterwards, the burning flames blocked their way and suddenly exploded to form a wall of fire, hindering their further movement.
It was the young man standing next to the woman who took action.
The wall of fire temporarily stopped the mutants. They roared like beasts, lowered their bodies and suddenly leaped over the wall of fire and pounced towards them.
The two men attacked at the same time, and flames and lightning intertwined, sweeping over the alien creatures in mid-air. They couldn't change their movements well, so they were hit and fell to the ground.
The alien creature that was a few steps behind pounced forward, roared, and raised its claws to swing forward, but was blocked by the lightning swung by the woman.
At the same time, the young man's flames stopped the two that had already climbed up. A large piece of their fur was burned off, and they were in pain and angry.
The two people cooperated well and were able to move easily among the three mutants.
The tightly wrapped man never made a move. He stood at the back, leaning against the car, watching his companions fighting.
I don’t know if he is confident that they can easily deal with these mutants, or if he is indeed just an ordinary person, or if there is some other reason.
Lin Mian was quite curious about him and couldn't help but look at him.
Suddenly, someone pinched her chin and she turned around, her eyes meeting the man next to her.
"You keep looking at others in front of me," Jiang Jie pinched his chin and shook it, "Is it because I'm not good-looking enough?"
Looking at his expression, she knew he was teasing her again. Lin Mian raised his hand and held the hand he was squeezing. "I just think he's a bit mysterious. I'm curious."
Jiang Yan grabbed his hand and glanced over there, "Maybe he's trying to hide some secret."
A secret? Lin Mian blinked in confusion. Could it be that there was a scar on his face that made him dislike seeing people?
The thoughts went through his mind for a while, and he quickly put them away. Forget it, who doesn't have some unknown secrets in the apocalypse? It's better not to delve into it too much.
And when it comes to secrets, who can keep secrets better than the man in front of him? He may still be hiding a lot of things. He is the biggest mystery.
Jiang Yan saw the way he was staring at him, so he pulled his hand towards him and said with narrowed eyes, "Little rabbit, are you saying bad things about me in your heart?"
Lin Mian immediately shook his head. He just complained in his heart and did not say anything bad.
Before the person could speak again, he took out a tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth, trying to get away with it by saying, "It got stained with chili oil."
This little rabbit is really good at acting cute now. Jiang Yan smiled and pinched his cheek.
While they were talking, several mutants over there had been eliminated. They squatted beside the corpses, digging out crystals with daggers.
The tall and strong man stepped forward at this time, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, caught the crystal that the woman had just dug, and wiped the remaining liquid on it.
The young man's hands were covered in blood. He looked over at them and finally couldn't help but say, "Hey, you two guys, you're pretty calm. You can even handle a scene like this."
They were actually cooking hotpot. I could smell it when the car approached just now. They haven't eaten yet, so it's really tempting.
Jiang Yan turned his head and raised his eyebrows when he heard his words, "Watching action scenes while eating makes it even more appetizing."
The young man choked at what he said and gave a thumbs up, "You're really cruel."
After wiping off the crystals in his hands, the tall and strong man looked up at them and said, "Why don't we rest here for a while and have something to eat before leaving."
The other two men and women had no objections. Because these alien creatures might affect their appetite, the young man went to set fire to the corpses first.
The woman turned to move the car that was still in the middle of the road.
After putting away the crystal, the man without showing his face glanced at Jiang Jie and the others again. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the other party seemed to have seen through him.
Their RV was parked not far away. The young fire-type psychic, who was clearly quite outgoing, stepped on a rock and casually spoke again, "Your car is quite good, with solar panels. I thought the one we found was pretty good."
Without waiting for them to speak, he added, "Also, you have so much equipment and supplies. This doesn't look like a doomsday survival situation at all. It's more like camping."
Lin Mian smiled and said, "I'm lucky. I collected them along the way."
"Then you are indeed lucky," the man's eyes moved between the two of them. "You two are all psychics, right? You were so calm when you saw the Altered Species just now."
Testing? Lin Mian looked at him and replied as they had always said, "I'm not, my brother is, and he's very powerful."
When he spoke, his eyes were full of admiration and pride, his emotions were written on his face, and he looked innocent.
After glancing at him twice, the young man's gaze fell on Jiang Yan's face and he said with a grin, "Then I really want to see it. What special abilities do you have, brother?"
Jiang Jie looked up at him and cooperatively raised his fingertips. A small stream of water circled around and quickly disappeared into the air.
"Oh, water element, that just happens to be my nemesis." The young man joked, "But my sister should be able to nemesis you, hahaha... fate is quite strange!"
"Aying."
Not far away, the woman who came out of the car with the alcohol stove looked at him and called him at the right time, saying, "Come back and stop disturbing me."
"Ah? Oh, I get it, sister." The young man scratched the back of his head when he heard the voice, waved at the two of them nonchalantly, and turned back to their car.
The lunch they prepared was not as elaborate as that prepared by Jiang Jie and his group. They just planned to cook a simple pot of noodles, eat it and leave.
The young man stepped forward to take the things from her hand, and said softly, "He's a water-type mutant. He's an ordinary person. He has more supplies than us, so he shouldn't cause trouble. Even if he does have bad intentions, we can handle it."
The woman nodded. She had to be at least wary of strangers she met in the apocalypse. They had been so calm when facing the alien creatures just now. They must have had the confidence.
I hadn't planned to stop here, but I didn't know... She turned to look at the tall and strong man who got out of the car, "Brother Cheng, why do you suddenly want to rest here?"
The man was holding some instant noodles in his hand. Hearing this, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "The way he looked at me just now, I felt like he knew something."
The woman's eyes darkened slightly. "Should we..."
"Don't," he raised his hand, "That man doesn't look simple. Don't act rashly. Besides, he may not really see it. Let's wait and see."
Hearing him say this, the woman calmed down temporarily.
"Brother Jie, they seem to be keeping an eye on us." Lin Mian is a person with special abilities after all, so he is quite sensitive to other people's gazes.
Jiang Jie smiled nonchalantly, "Maybe he's afraid his secret will be exposed, so he's considering whether to kill him to silence him."
"Ah?" Lin Mian's eyes widened in surprise, "But we don't know what secrets they have at all."
Jiang Jie tilted his head and raised his eyebrows, "I know."
Lin Mian was even more surprised now. They hadn't even had close contact until now, so how did the other party know the secrets of those people?
"Do you want to know?" Jiang Yan reached out and hooked his chin.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't curious. He was more curious about how the man figured it out than what the other person's secret was.
He leaned closer to the person, "What?"
Jiang Jie propped up his chin with his hand, "What are you going to give me in exchange for this secret?"
Seeing his eyes, Lin Mian inexplicably got something. He stepped back and said, "I don't really want to know that much."
This little rabbit is very vigilant now. Jiang Jie laughed a little. It is not as easy to fool as before.
He tapped his finger on his cheek, "Kiss me and I'll tell you."
Lin Mian's eyes revealed a hint of suspicion, "Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple." Jiang Jie nodded confidently.
Lin Mian thought about it and turned to look at the people not far away. They were preparing food and didn't look at this side.
He withdrew his gaze, pursed his lips, and leaned slightly closer to the man.
Jiang Jie raised his face cooperatively.
But before their lips touched, Lin Mian suddenly smiled and pulled back, "I don't believe it."
Jiang Yan quickly grabbed his waist and pulled him back. Not only did he kiss him on the face, he also planted a series of kisses on the side of his neck. "It's too late."
Lin Mian felt a little itchy from his kiss, and turned away with his eyes curved, even covering his mouth with his hand, "Then you have to tell me now."
Jiang Yan pulled his hand down, "I said you kiss me, my kiss on you doesn't count."
Knowing that this man would not suffer any loss, Lin Mian wrinkled his nose, leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the face.
Rarely, Jiang Jie did not push his luck any further, but just pinched his face, because sometimes his credibility with the little rabbit was too low and needed to be improved.
He leaned close to the man's ear, brushed his lips against his earlobe, and whispered, "That person is most likely a mutant."
