wake up
In the late afternoon, Lu Tingxiao woke up.
He opened his eyes, and what he saw was a ceiling covered in white light.
Is this in...the base laboratory?
Ling Shi's voice came from the side immediately: "Are you awake?"
He took out his stethoscope and examined him: "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Lu Tingxiao blinked and came back to his senses, his voice a little hoarse: "I'm fine. How did we get back? Did you save me again?"
Ling Shi put away his stethoscope and visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "Everyone is back. Everything went smoothly according to your plan."
Lu Tingxiao was in a trance for a moment.
Since the end of the world, or more precisely, since he was tricked by Country M into being a subject of human experiments in a laboratory, he has not taken his life seriously.
Watching those around him fall, decay, and become unconscious, he knew he would most likely end up like that. Especially as his own mental health issues worsened, he had already planned his own ending: to fall among the decaying crowd and become one of them.
He didn't want this outcome, but seemed powerless to change it.
Until he met Ling Shi.
Ling Shi was like a ray of light in this desperate situation, illuminating his dark future.
Gradually, he began to feel a little greedy. Perhaps, with this person by his side, he would slowly get better, no longer being tormented by the raging cells in his body and losing control.
However, the moment Ling Shi proposed to collect the dragon horns, he knew that sacrifice was inevitable.
So, when Henry Zhang asked him to take on the role of captain of the White Eagle Team again, he accepted without hesitation.
Staying by Ling Shi's side, there is still a glimmer of hope.
But he knew that this glimmer of hope was too slim.
Sure enough, they encountered a hurdle that was almost impossible to overcome.
What can I do?
In public, he is the captain; in private...
Speaking of this personally, Lu Tingxiao's heart began to pound.
At first, he just treated Ling Shi as his blood bag. Even though this person had every aesthetic point of view, he just wanted to make good use of this person.
Showing goodwill and saving people are just means to achieve the goal.
But gradually, he found that his heart was gradually getting out of control.
How could there be someone like Ling Shi?
In this apocalyptic world where everyone is in danger, he can risk his life for a stranger he just met; he can confidently challenge the best psychic in Ohio, even though he has never tested his data; he can decide without hesitation to embark on the journey of collecting dragon horns, even though the road is full of thorns;
He is so confident and outstanding, emitting a dazzling and blazing light.
Not only that, Lu Tingxiao also saw another side of him.
Such an outstanding person is surprisingly simple.
He would be distressed by Wang Fenghua's oppression, but he never thought of using dirty means, even though Yu Zhengping was behind him; he would be shy about his body's reaction, curled up motionlessly, not daring to look into the eyes of people outside the door; he would sympathize with his defeated generals, and would sincerely help the enemy generals.
How could there be such a person...
It was not until this person trembled, her cheeks blushed, opened herself to him without reservation, and revealed her most genuine desires and expressions under his hands that Lu Tingxiao knew that he was doomed.
He was completely carried away by this lovely person.
So, for personal reasons, he couldn't let anything happen to Ling Shi.
As for the consequences of this choice, he accepted it.
Unexpectedly, God still favors him.
Ling Shi saved him again and he came back to life.
Lu Tingxiao's chest was filled with the man in front of him. He suddenly grabbed Ling Shi's hand and said half seriously, half jokingly, "You saved me again, benefactor. How can I repay you?"
Ling Shi blushed slightly and pushed him away: "Just don't mess around next time."
He probably hadn't slept for a long time, his face was pale and his expression was tired. It wasn't very good-looking, but it was easy to make people feel distressed.
"That won't work." Lu Tingxiao raised his head slightly, grabbed Ling Shi's sleeve and tugged, smiling wickedly: "How about I pledge my love to you? Would you consider it?"
Promise yourself to me?
Ling Shi shuddered and subconsciously pulled out his sleeves.
He was already confused about his relationship with Lu Tingxiao, and this sudden blow caught him off guard.
More importantly, he couldn't discern Lu Tingxiao's true intentions. This guy was used to talking nonsense, and he just kept talking!
He pressed Lu Tingxiao's chest and said, "You just woke up. Lie down and take a break."
This push was so powerful and domineering that it pushed the weak Lu Tingxiao back to his original position.
Lu Tingxiao groaned, "If you don't allow it, then don't allow it. You are murdering your own husband."
Ling Shi couldn't stand his nonsense any longer, so he just left him there, not caring about the chaotic thoughts clamoring in his head, and rushed out of the laboratory.
It has been a day and a night since we rushed back to the base.
Lu Tingxiao's condition was unstable, and he had no appetite. Now that he came to his senses, he suddenly felt extremely hungry.
Ling Shi got off the elevator and walked into the cafeteria.
It was dinner time and there were quite a few people in the cafeteria, with two groups even arguing.
"I was here first!"
"What's the point of coming first? I ordered it first!"
"No, why would you care? It's just a big steak..."
“As for!!”
“As for!!”
"Humph, you're just like your leader, arrogant and unreasonable!"
"Who are you talking about? How dare you say that!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Just because our Prime Minister has a good temper doesn't mean we have a good temper!"
"Good temper? Humph, indecisive and without any opinion! You are not worthy of being..."
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!"
Seeing that the argument had become increasingly heated and involved Yu Zhengping, Ling Shi had to turn his head and take a look at the two groups of people arguing.
This glance scared him.
Two groups of people were blocking the food window, one on the left and one on the right, fighting for the last piece of pork chop on the plate.
On the left is Yu Zhengping’s personal bodyguard Li Bin, and on the right is Xiao Yang’s deputy general Lin Chu.
After confirming that his eyes were correct, Ling Shi was speechless.
The identities of these two people clearly represent Yu Zhengping and Xiao Yang.
How could you argue with a scoundrel in public?
Has the conflict between the two rulers reached this point?
Ling Shi sighed and walked towards them.
"Just say it! Why wouldn't I dare to do that?"
"Tell your leader to come out and speak! Does he dare to speak?"
"Who are you? You can call me General Xiao whenever you want?!"
"Hey, hey," Ling Shi walked to the edge of the crowd, trying to squeeze out a path through the tight gap, but when he looked at the sweat-soaked back of the person in front of him and the faint smell of sweat glands, he gave up decisively.
I couldn't squeeze in, but I had to get through the crowd, so I had to throw aside the things that were blocking my way.
He grabbed the arm of the person on the outermost edge and, exerting only his strength, flung him aside: "Please move aside."
The man was caught off guard and was thrown two meters away by Ling Shi. He was stunned for several seconds before he burst out with a string of curse words.
After cursing for a few times, the man's eyes widened: "Ling Shi? It's you?"
Ling Shi looked at the familiar face in front of him: "You are..."
The good news is that Li Bin and Lin Chu have stopped arguing.
The bad news is that he has attracted everyone's attention, and if you're not careful, there's a chance of a group fight.
After all, he was the first person to use force.
"My name is Ke Xing." The man stared at Ling Shi fiercely and pointed a finger at him. "You may have forgotten me, but I haven't forgotten you. I told you, Professor Su's matter won't be resolved so easily!"
As soon as he mentioned Professor Su, Ling Shi remembered.
This man was the officer who had secretly threatened him after his duel with Su Liangzhe. He was Lin Chu's subordinate.
This is even worse. If the person you accidentally use force against has a grudge against you, you're more likely to get beaten up by a group.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Ling Shi nodded perfunctorily and glanced at the people in the innermost circle: "Brother Bin, Major General Lin, I haven't eaten for a day and a night, and I'm craving a big steak. How about... give me some face and give me the big steak?"
This sounds a bit pathetic.
He hadn't eaten for a day and a night. If you didn't know, you would think he was being tortured in the base.
Before Li Bin and Lin Chu could react, the completely ignored Ke Xing was already furious: "You fucking..."
He cursed while punching Ling Shi.
Ling Shi slightly turned his body, grabbed the oncoming fist, and held it tightly.
For the past day and night, he has been worried about Lu Tingxiao's health, confused about his relationship with him, hungry, and using up his brain cells. Both his physical and mental strength have almost reached their limits.
At this moment, he just wanted to sit down and eat a hot meal.
I endured hunger and fatigue to come and mediate a fight, but was actually provoked by this guy.
Do you think you are Lu Tingxiao? !
The anger level soared with this punch.
Three parts hungry, three parts tired, and extremely upset, he was completely broken down by the unreasonable Ke Xingyi.
As soon as he thought about it, the purification ability in his palm began to activate, and a steady stream of cells flowed out of Ke Xing's body -
The person opposite him visibly withered, his skin seemed to have shriveled up, his eyes were filled with fear, and he let out meaningless cries: "Ah, ah..."
He was unlucky and bumped into the gun barrel, successfully becoming the first dragon warrior to be purified in a healthy state.
He obviously felt the drastic changes in his body, but he had no idea what was happening. He only knew that he was facing a catastrophe.
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Ke Xing finally found the right words.
But it was too late. His face turned pale and beads of sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks.
Everyone present was as quiet as a chicken, and no one dared to speak.
But after a moment, Ling Shi let go of his hand.
He looked at Ke Xing, who was slumped on the ground, and leaned forward slightly. "Excuse me, is Professor Su's matter settled?"
Ke Xing gasped for breath, his hands supporting the ground, his eyes flickering, his tongue tied: "It's over, it's over."
"Yeah." Ling Shi nodded, stood up straight, and glanced at the big steak again: "That piece..."
Lin Chu snatched the food tray and quickly asked the stunned woman at the window to fill out two dishes and a large portion of rice. He then respectfully placed them in front of Ling Shi, "Captain Ling, where do you want to sit? I'll bring it to you."
Compared to their attitude when they first met, they are like grandfather and grandson.
"No thanks." Ling Shi took the plate and no longer cared about what these people thought. He found a seat and sat down to eat.
The entire cafeteria was filled with an eerie atmosphere. Although people were coming and going, there was a suppressed, whispering silence.
Ling Shi didn't care about their opinions and just focused on eating.
After a big meal of warm rice and pork ribs with rich sauce, my hungry stomach finally came back to life.
He also breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Bin and Lin Chu had long disappeared, especially Lin Chu, who didn't know how he was going to deal with Ke Xing's situation.
But Ling Shi didn't want to care about it for the time being.
He put down his bowl and chopsticks, left the cafeteria and walked towards the dormitory.
If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Tingxiao should go back.
What needs to be faced must be faced.
